Chapter 19 Like Repulses Like "Brother, do you talk about homosexuality?"...
"Did you agree to Fu Duannian's request?"
Ji Yaohe's speech became increasingly rapid, her warm breath brushing against Yan Quan's ear: "Tomorrow is AO's first date, will you choose Fu Duan Nian?"
The aggressive attitude, the inexplicable plot twists. With his shoulders pressed down on him, Yan Quan felt a growing aversion to this feeling of being controlled…
So Yan Quan pulled her wrist outward slightly and suddenly broke free from Ji Yao's hand on her shoulder: "I don't like Fu Duan Nian."
“But I agreed to go on a date with him. On this show, I would say yes whenever an Alpha asked me out.”
Yan Quan leaned against the tiled wall, calmly meeting Ji Yao's gaze, her eyes slightly cold: "Ji Yao, aren't you well aware of this scumbag Omega script?"
"Whether your relationship with Fu Duannian is a pure one-on-one romance or a bitter falling out, it has nothing to do with me. I just want to fulfill my role in the script, collect my appearance fee, and leave."
Yan Quan thought he had made his position clear enough with these words.
"Ji Yao, you can relax and continue with your innocent and pure persona. Believe it or not, I never intended to interfere in your affairs from the beginning."
"To be frank, whether you are royalty or not has nothing to do with me."
Upon hearing Yan Quan's words, Ji Yao's eyes instantly darkened: "Yan Quan, do you think you have nothing to do with me?"
“Yes, it’s not really related.” After saying that, Ji Yao asked herself dejectedly, “From the time I appeared on the show until now, you’ve hardly ever looked at me.”
“Your eyes were always on those three Alphas, flirting with them, because of the script.” Ji Yao’s voice grew darker and deeper as he spoke: “...as long as an Alpha asks you out, you’ll agree.”
Yan Quan sensed that Ji Yao was trying hard to suppress something, because Ji Yao's fingers, which were pressing on his shoulder, were taut and tightening little by little...
"But I can't," Ji Yao murmured to herself, her lips trembling.
Because I'm an omega... I can't even ask you out.
Just as Ji Yao reached a certain point of tension, she suddenly retaliated by tightly gripping Yan Quan's arm with her own, their shoulders intertwined.
This posture resembles some kind of awkward hug.
"Yan Quan, I don't care." Ji Yao's breath fell on Yan Quan's ear, like a child stubbornly asking for candy.
“Fu Duannian likes you now, and no one is going to create a CP with me anymore, so you have to compensate me.”
This line of reasoning can be described as quite "unreasonable".
Yan Quan was so angry that she wanted to punch Ji Yao's pale face covered in foundation.
There's a cause for every grievance, and a debtor for every debt. The show found Fu Duannian to be your shill, but he fell in love with someone else and now he wants me to pay him back.
The production team bears primary responsibility. With the biggest investor behind you, why don't you approach the director and ask for a script change?
"You should stop now..." Yan Quan was about to swing his hand, but when he saw Ji Yao's bright, beautiful contact lenses, he finally couldn't bring himself to do it.
Never mind, Yan Quan never bullies omegas.
"Ji Yao, you want me to compensate you..." Yan Quan softened his tone, deciding to reason with Ji Yao calmly: "Tell me, how can I compensate you? Hmm?"
"Do you need money?" Yan Quan asked.
Ji Yao shook her head: "I'm not short of money."
"Then what do you want?" Yan Quan felt like a kindergarten teacher trying to coax a preschooler: "Should I create opportunities for you on the show? Or be your background prop?"
In fact, isn't this exactly what Yan Quan has been diligently doing these days as a "playboy"? As soon as the "harem catches fire," Yan Quan will become "hated by everyone," thus highlighting Ji Yao's image as a "devoted, pure, and innocent girl."
"Yan Quan." Ji Yao suddenly lowered her head and brought her face closer. Her voice was a little hoarse: "Do you mind homosexuality?"
Damn it... Yan Quan suddenly remembered some very bad memories.
Well... in the first eighteen years of Yan Quan's life, especially the last two years of high school, he had quite a bit of experience "getting involved with homosexuals".
"You don't mind, right?" Ji Yao's tone was full of surprise, like Columbus discovering a new continent.
Yan Quan: It's not just that I don't mind. I'm the one who doesn't mind.
"Yan Quan, they gave us this kind of scripted character setup just to create buzz for the show, right?" Ji Yao paused, a mysterious fire seemingly flickering in her colored contact lenses. "But AO relationships are pretty boring, aren't they?"
Ji Yao licked her lower lip almost imperceptibly: "Brother, let's create a 'OO' couple on the internet. It'll definitely be a hit."
"OO love...?" These three words, uttered by Ji Yao, gave Yan Quan a strong sense of the dimensional barrier shattering.
Moreover... what struck Yan Quan even more as a complete shock was—how did Ji Yao tacitly accept that he was the one who was the Omega?
Yan Quan's expression calmed down, and he firmly pulled away from Ji Yao's grip on his shoulders:
"Ji Yao, this is not fun."
"Who said I was playing around?" Ji Yao gripped Yan Quan's wrist tightly, her previous nonchalant attitude vanishing, and her beautiful eyes fixed intently on Yan Quan.
"I'm serious, brother."
"The other three Alphas on the show were all uninteresting; I only had eyes for you."
As soon as Ji Yao finished speaking, the damp air in the bathroom seemed to tremble three times, feeling ashamed of itself.
Yan Quan opened his eyes slightly and looked at Ji Yao—in that instant, a flash of inspiration struck him, and all the illogical clues suddenly made sense.
Why does Ji Yao resent Fu Duannian's attentiveness towards her, his abduction of her to the bathroom in the middle of the night, and why is she still bothered by their secret rendezvous...?
"Damn..." Yan Quan grabbed his hair, his fox-like eyes widening slightly in surprise: "Ji Yao, you like me?"
"Ah... I've been found out." Ji Yao's features were actually extremely cold and exquisite, with long black eyeliner. At this moment, her smile had a childlike innocence and cruelty.
"Brother, you're so smart. You guessed it right away."
You never intended to pretend, did you...?
"Brother. Times are changing, and passionate exchanges between people are possible now."
Ji Yao completely stopped acting. Her thumb, which was wrapped around Yan Quan's wrist, moved like a snake, tracing a line across Yan Quan's skin:
"I'm very good, no worse than an Alpha. All the Omegas I've dated say I'm good in bed."
Ji Yao straightened up, his tall frame casting a heavy shadow. His phoenix eyes narrowed slightly in the darkness, like those of a highly aggressive black cat.
“Brother, I can feel it. We are the same kind.”
"I don't believe in true love. Dating is just for fun. As long as I'm having fun, that's the most important thing."
"I've probably had more ex-boyfriends than you."
Ji Yao's gaze lingered intently on Yan Quan: "But, brother, you are the omega I've met that I feel the most connection with."
"I really want to have a serious talk with you."
Ji Yao spoke sincerely: "Brother, don't worry. Although every relationship I have is short-lived and I change boyfriends frequently, I never cheat or mess around."
"Brother, please consider me." Ji Yao tilted her head and smiled innocently, very much in line with the arrogance of a 19-year-old. But there was a sinister coldness in that arrogance.
"We'll all have a lot of fun."
If one could always see the shadow of an "ex-boyfriend" in Shan Haotian, then the existence of "Ji Yao" was like... looking in a mirror for Yan Quan.
Ji Yao is right, they are the same kind.
Like a mouse playing with a cat, capturing and releasing it three times, Yan Quan revels in his triumph—in some ways, he is even more wicked than Ji Yao. His methods are far more cruel.
The sound of water dripping echoed in the silent space… After staring at Ji Yao for a long time, Yan Quan's lips curled into a faint, mocking smile: “Sorry, F**ck boy…”
The overlapping of time and space—it's as if Yan Quan is speaking to his carefree and flamboyant self from seven years ago.
"I'm retired."
"What does that mean?" Ji Yao frowned, running her fingers through her long, straight black hair, and asked blankly, as if she were illiterate, "You agreed?"
"Ha..." Yan Quan chuckled, turning to unlock the bathroom door. As he waved goodbye, he kindly translated his words into modern Republican language:
"Little friend, you should spend less time in relationships and more time studying at your age."
"Hahaha... Yan Quan." Ji Yao wasn't annoyed at being poked in the nose and mocked like that. Instead, he squatted down and laughed so hard he almost choked.
A sharp glint appeared in Ji Yao's watery eyes as she stared at Yan Quan disappearing into the night-lit stairwell, murmuring to herself:
"What should we do? Brother, you're so funny."
"I want to pursue you even more now."
………
A professor painter with a damp, unrequited love, an arrogant and conceited financial CEO, a stubbornly naive and innocent college student... and now a gay man who wants to have sex with him...
Where did the production team find these extraordinary people?
Yan Quan forced herself to stay awake, quickly brushed her teeth and washed her face in a very perfunctory manner, and then fell asleep immediately.
Before losing consciousness completely, Yan Quan's only thought was: 3A1O, we still have to deal with them tomorrow... the production team needs to pay more.
While "Sleeping Beauty" got a short rest, the live stream chat was buzzing with heated discussions among netizens.
[Sniper reports from the front! This time we see clearly, it's Ji Yao who captured Yan Quan!]
They stayed in the bathroom for more than half an hour.
[Previous Recap: Ji Yao likes Fu Duan Nian, who has just confessed his feelings to Yan Quan.]
Holy crap, that's a battle of wits between love rivals!! I can't even imagine how exciting those two must have been in the last half hour.
I hate it! Why didn't the production team install cameras in the bathroom? (crying)
Based on my observation of their facial expressions after they came out, it seems that Yan Quan had decisively defeated Ji Yao, and Ji Yao had retreated in agony.
[I second that. Yan Quan's last silhouette as he walked out of the bathroom was so dashing; he definitely won.]
[Yan Haiwang, indeed, his methods are remarkable (admiration)]
A song for Yan Haiwang: How lonely it is to be invincible!
"Ji Yao, sigh, even with such an arrogant young lady, I'm still a bit inferior."
Perhaps it's more accurate to say that those who are favored are fearless; after all, Fu likes Yan Quan.
"Sister, what you're saying! Who doesn't like Yan Quan?"
Yan Quan, Yan Quan, we love you!
Wait, when did Yan Haiwang (a notorious womanizer) get so many fans? Wasn't he always criticized as a scumbag?
"Don't worry about it (glares), whether he's a jerk or just overflowing with personal charm, I can tell the difference."
Oh my god, our baby is so beautiful even when he's asleep (sparkling eyes)
[Dear netizens, forget about the rival's bathroom antics from earlier, let's guess what tomorrow's date will be like!]
My name is XXX, and I'm betting on the puppy's appearance.
I bet on the CEO! CEO, charge!
I'm going to fight you guys who don't understand the concept of an older, more gentle professor! Please support our "Secret Admiration Group"!
Hehe, I laugh at you all for still not understanding Yan Haiwang's methods. I bet on a threesome.
Sisters, how dare you! Is this even allowed to air?
[Follow me! Our Yan Quan is a heartthrob!]
[Add one, add one, supporting Yan Quan 1V3]
