Chapter 18 Kidnapped in the Middle of the Night "You are, Ji Yao?...
Wait, Yan Quan agreed to go on a date with the puppy again tomorrow?! (Shocked)
The key point shouldn't be that Yan Quan just promised Professor Fu, right?!
Sister, you forgot one: Yan Haiwang (a notorious womanizer) forgave the CEO before (bitter smile)
[Yan Haiwang is truly, openly and honestly a scumbag.]
[Holy crap, this is the show's deeper meaning. It's a battleground, a complete mess!]
[I'll pay, okay? I want to watch the advanced episodes! I want to see Yan Quan's 1v3 harem in flames right now (urgent)]
[Damn it, Yan Haiwang is such a scumbag, but he's just too irresistible (gritting his teeth)]
Sister, I understand you. Yan Haiwang's views on relationships are terrible, but his good looks give him a unique charm.
Even being infamous is still fame; Yan Haiwang's popularity currently crushes that of all the other dating reality show guests from the same period.
I'm a fan of Yan Quan (in a weak voice)
Actually, I also... (looks down)
[I'm Yan Quanmeng Omega, and I always feel that Yan Quan is a bit too alpha (in a weak voice)]
I even went from hating to liking it; I was hating it for a while and then inexplicably fell in love with it.
This is probably what top-tier fishing is like (sigh)
Yan Quan couldn't see the comments and was unaware that his open and honest "scumbag O" behavior had inexplicably gained him a large number of fans.
Yan Quan now only felt exhausted and... relieved.
He talked to three Alphas in one night! And three Alphas with completely different personalities!
It felt like being an emperor in a period drama, watching three thousand concubines being brought in one after another... Even the most lustful emperor would eventually give in.
Not to mention... on the other side of the Atlantic, his biological clock struck precisely the right time—drowsiness crept in. Yan Quan was dazed and confused, wanting nothing more than to collapse onto the soft bed and sleep soundly.
But clearly, fate didn't want things to end so quickly. This first night in the Love & Romance House was destined to be tumultuous and sleepless.
This refers to the moment Yan Quan's finger touched the doorknob of his room, it was grabbed by a figure in black who darted out.
The man in black wore a black mask, completely covering his body. He was tall and had an incredibly strong grip, holding Yan Quan's hand tightly.
"...?" Yan Quan instinctively tried to struggle, but was pressed down by those warm hands, and then... their fingers were intertwined?
Yan Quan: ...No, I came here to take advantage of someone?
Without knowing the full picture, it was not wise to act rashly. Yan Quan decided to observe the situation and obediently allowed the man in black to "kidnap" him.
Wait, what the heck? I'm starting to get scared.
"They just kidnapped him like that, all fresh and beautiful?"
[Has Yan Haiwang committed too many sins? Is someone coming to take revenge?]
[The production team needs to take action! (anxious)]
Based on my years of experience watching variety shows, this should be a guest on a dating reality show (I'm sure of it).
[But they've already talked to all three Alphas, so why resort to this forceful takeover in the middle of the night?]
Wait, extortion? I'm reminded of a certain CEO…
Love turned to hate, and then forced love? That's interesting (laughs)
"Tap tap tap..." Chaotic footsteps echoed through the long wooden corridor, and Yan Quan could feel that the black-clad man's palms were slightly sweaty.
Heh... Yan Quan almost laughed: They've already "forcibly taken" it, and now they're starting to feel guilty and nervous?
"Huff..." As the man in black finished breathing, the door was kicked open with a loud "bang."
Yan Quan first felt a damp air, then heard a crisp "thud" as the door was locked from the inside.
The room was dark, with only a few faint rays of moonlight filtering in through the window. The blue and white tiles reflected the light softly, and a few silvery water stains remained on the floor.
After his vision adapted to the dark, Yan Quan recognized that this was... the public restroom at the end of the corridor?
The man in black removed his hat and mask and called out softly, "Yan Quan."
The clear voice carried a different kind of intense emotion, clashing with the dampness of the room and creating a strange sense of ambiguity.
"Yan Quan".
The man in black was bewildered and called out Yan Quan's name twice. It was as if the words "Yan Quan" were burning hot as they were uttered.
"You are... Ji Yao?"
"Hmm." The man in black took off his hat and mask, revealing Ji Yao's bright and delicate features: "It's me."
Yan Quan had actually recognized Ji Yao long ago, but he hadn't made any rash moves because he couldn't figure out Ji Yao's motive for insisting on having a "private chat" with him late at night.
Could it be... because of Fu Duannian?
Thinking of this, Yan Quan suddenly realized. Because he had a private chat with Fu Duan Nian in the secret space that night, Ji Yao must be very unhappy about it now.
Yan Quan felt it was necessary to explain to Ji Yao that his original intention was not to interfere with their 1V1 pure love story, and that everything he was doing now was just fulfilling his "scumbag Omega" duty.
"Ji Yao, listen to me." Yan Quan took a few steps closer to Ji Yao and put his hand on Ji Yao's shoulder.
"I think there's some misunderstanding between us..."
Yan Quan whispered to Ji Yao, gently patting his shoulder and back with his fingertips, trying to show goodwill.
This action was indeed very effective. This means that Ji Yao's back suddenly trembled several times from Yan Quan's actions, and... she also wrapped her arms around Yan Quan's shoulders.
...? This development seems a bit off.
In the dimly lit space, Ji Yao's colored contact lenses appeared exceptionally bright, shimmering and sparkling.
Yan Quan was momentarily unsure whether it was because the expensive contact lenses were of such high quality, or because Ji Yao's gaze had always been so... intense?
As expected... he's extremely angry. Yan Quan sensed something was wrong.
“We should have found a more suitable place, but there’s no other way… This is the only place without cameras,” Ji Yao murmured as she continued.
The voice was very soft, as if apologizing out of guilt.
Yan Quan thought to herself: You have absolutely no need to feel guilty. After your love was taken away, you didn't confront them in public, but instead sought to negotiate in a private setting away from the cameras. That's already very sensible of you.
So Yan Quan placed his fingers against Ji Yao's neck, gently rubbing it as if to comfort her, and spoke in a soft voice:
“I’m glad you contacted me privately.”
As soon as the words were spoken, Ji Yao's pupils widened, staring blankly at Yan Quan. Surprise mixed with delight exploded in her clear eyes.
Ji Yao's breathing became erratic: "You... do you really expect me to come to you?"
Yan Quan: ...Is that how you interpret this sentence?
"Did Murong Yuan make unwanted advances towards you in the secret space?" Ji Yao inexplicably changed the subject again. "You forgave him?"
The first two sentences he uttered were almost identical to those spoken by Fu Duannian, giving Yan Quan a vague sense of déjà vu.
"Yan Quan, what did you and Fu Duan Nian talk about in the secret space just now?"
Sure enough, Ji Yao's next question revealed his true intentions: "Did he say anything to you about me?"
Yan Quan understood immediately: He was indeed jealous... and wanted to secretly find out some information about Fu Duan Nian from me.
However… the situation is a bit complicated now. Yan Quan frowned secretly: How could he explain to Ji Yao that Fu Duan Nian had been “secretly in love” with him for many years… and that he was completely unaware of this?
But before Yan Quan could explain, Ji Yao spoke up first: "Did Fu Duan Nian confess his feelings to you?"
Ji Yao is very tall, over 1.9 meters, so Yan Quan, who is just over 1.8 meters tall, could only slightly raise his eyes to look at Ji Yao, "...You knew all along?"
Because she was the one being secretly admired, Yan Quan had no guilty conscience.
Now that Ji Yao had made things clear, Yan Quan spoke calmly without any qualms:
"Yes, Fu Duannian just confessed his feelings in the secret space. He said he had seen me a long time ago and had always had a crush on me."
As soon as Yan Quan finished speaking, Ji Yao raised her eyebrows and muttered under her breath, "I knew that bastard would strike first."
Ji Yao spoke very quickly, and Yan Quan couldn't quite hear her clearly at first: "...*bitch?"
Are you insulting me?
Noticing Yan Quan's unusual behavior, Ji Yao hurriedly tried to cover it up, timidly pressing her fingers against Yan Quan's palm: "No, I wasn't talking about you."
Oh. Yan Quan came to her senses: So Ji Yao was... insulting Fu Duan Nian? Hmm... Doesn't Ji Yao like Fu Duan Nian?
Just then, rustling footsteps began to echo in the bathroom corridor... someone was walking back and forth.
"Damn it, this is annoying, why are people here already..." Time was of the essence, and Ji Yao's words came out like a barrage of bullets:
"If Fu Duannian says anything bad about me to you in the secret space, don't believe him."
"...?" Yan Quan was a little confused, but his words were quickly stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them out loud.
Because... Ji Yao suddenly pushed Yan Quan against the wall.
Given Yan Quan's height of over 1.8 meters, he hadn't been "wall-pinned" in ages. The last time he was so firmly pinned against a wall was...
Damn, why did I think of that mad dog again?
With her back pressed against the cool tiled wall, Yan Quan's eyelashes trembled slightly. After a moment, she looked up and said, "Ji Yao, calm down..."
Ji Yao stared straight at him, her upturned eyeliner giving her a sharp look, her hand raised high...
It seems he's not going to calm down at all. Yan Quan thought to herself: Ji Yao is blinded by jealousy, his love has turned to hate, and he wants to teach me a lesson.
But Yan Quan was no pushover. He had already calmly mentally reviewed his next move to counter Ji Yao—a slap on the wrist, a backflip, and suppression. A seamless, logical sequence.
Unexpectedly, Ji Yao's hand didn't clench into a fist, nor did it slap... but instead—
It was very hot and burning as it landed on Yan Quan's neck, the knuckles gradually moving upwards, and then... gently trembling as they covered Yan Quan's chin.
...?
From this posture, Ji Yao looks as if she is holding a treasured object.
“I don’t care who Fu Duannian likes, I don’t care even if he likes aliens,” Ji Yao said.
Wait... how could it be "indifferent"? Yan Quan's subconscious finally grasped a glimpse of the truth, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, the next second, Ji Yao's knuckles tightened suddenly, "The point is you, Yan Quan, do you...do you like Fu Duan Nian?"
"Fu Duannian definitely invited you on a date tomorrow. Did you say yes?"
