Feels Like the World Is One Giant BL Novel

Lu Mingyu: "..."

Song Shi'an: "???"

Fu Jingyan was still grinning cheekily. "The Fu and Lu families have been working together for over twenty years. The old man was afraid that intervening would affect the cooperation between the two families, so he let the matter drop."

"See? Aren't I smart?"

Lu Mingyu felt like killing someone.

Seeing Lu Mingyu's dark expression, Fu Jingyan hurriedly took a few steps back and hid behind Song Shi'an.

"A gentleman uses his words, not his fists. We're brothers, and as the saying goes, I'd take a knife to both ribs for a brother!" Fu Jingyan muttered. "Taking a step back, you don't have a partner anyway. Letting me spread a rumor won't cost you a piece of flesh."

[Even if we take ten thousand steps back, that rumor is still insanely outrageous! I treat you like a brother, but you want to sleep with me! Damn, they're both domineering CEOs. They'd probably have to fight over who gets to be the top in bed!]

His anger meter shot straight up.

Lu Mingyu tugged at the corner of his mouth. "Fu Jingyan, I think you're asking for it."

Fu Jingyan said, "We're brothers. What's the point of fussing over something like this?"

Seeing that Lu Mingyu was about to lose his temper, Fu Jingyan quickly made himself scarce. "I came today just to give you a heads-up. I've got things to do, so I'm leaving."

With that, he bolted out the door as if fleeing for his life.

The air fell quiet, and Song Shi'an didn't dare provoke Lu Mingyu at a time like this.

He edged backward, ready to slip away quietly, when Lu Mingyu called out, "Assistant Song."

Song Shi'an froze.

Panic flooded his heart. [It's over, it's over! I heard the domineering CEO's secret! Is he going to fire me over this?]

[What posture should I use later to beg him not to fire me?!]

He turned around with a smile on his face. "President Lu, what are your instructions?"

"You heard everything just now?" Lu Mingyu looked straight at him.

Song Shi'an began playing dumb. "What? What did you say just now?"

Lu Mingyu said, "What Fu Jingyan said."

Song Shi'an looked utterly sincere. "President Fu came by just now? How come I didn't see him? I haven't been sleeping well lately, so I keep zoning out. Sorry, President Lu."

In the workplace, sometimes you needed to play deaf and dumb.

Lu Mingyu said nothing and simply stared at him.

Song Shi'an met his gaze calmly and kept smiling. "President Lu, if there's nothing else, I'll head out and get back to work."

Lu Mingyu withdrew his gaze and did not make things difficult for him. "Mm."

Song Shi'an breathed a sigh of relief and hurried away.

Aaaahhh!!!

Damn it! Why had the plot gone so wildly off track?!

It was one thing that the male and female leads had not gotten together, but the original second male lead had actually told his family that he was involved with the male lead!

This book might as well stop being called Domineering CEO Falls in Love with Me and be called The Domineering CEO and His Best Gay Friend!

"Assistant Song." A voice broke through Song Shi'an's inner screaming.

Song Shi'an looked over and discovered that Fu Jingyan had not left yet.

He immediately reined in his expression and put on a meek, respectful look. "President Fu, is there something you need?"

Fu Jingyan leaned closer and asked quietly, "After I left, did Mingyu do anything?"

Song Shi'an continued to play dumb. "When did President Fu come by? I thought you were here to see President Lu."

Fu Jingyan could not help laughing at the sight of him. He teased, "Assistant Song, you don't have to be so sensible."

Song Shi'an had always known that the more you knew, the faster you died.

He only needed to collect his pay in peace.

Seeing that Song Shi'an remained silent, Fu Jingyan eagerly went looking for trouble. "Assistant Song, what do you think I should do if I really like Mingyu?"

What could he do?

Why was Fu Jingyan telling him this? Did he expect him to help deliver Lu Mingyu to his bed?

"President Fu, who you like is your right. There's no need to tell me." Song Shi'an wished he could cover his ears.

Fu Jingyan blinked his peach-blossom eyes, the smile at the corner of his lips deepening. "Assistant Song is so thoughtful."

Song Shi'an lowered his head and tried his best to make himself as inconspicuous as possible.

Fu Jingyan's smile faded a little. "Actually, I think Mingyu might like you."

After saying that, he waved and left.

Before leaving, he did not forget to dump another bucket of filth on himself.

Fortunately, Song Shi'an had spent enough time around Lu Mingyu to master the art of letting words go in one ear and out the other.

He did not take it seriously at all.

When it was time to get off work that afternoon,

Lu Mingyu sent him a message: [You can go home by yourself today. I have something to do at the old residence.]

Going back to the old residence? Could those words Fu Jingyan had said have gotten out?

Thinking of Lu Mingyu having to explain to his elders that he did not like men, Song Shi'an suddenly felt a little gleeful.

When had a heaven's favored son like Lu Mingyu ever suffered such humiliation?

Song Shi'an went home and enjoyed the rare bit of leisure.

He also called Chen Jiashu and asked whether he was still in Sea City.

Chen Jiashu said, "My flight's today. I'm going to Imperial City to discuss a few collaborations. I probably won't be back for half a month."

"Alright, then we'll get together when you're back." Song Shi'an hung up after saying that.

He did not have many friends in this city. Aside from Chen Jiashu, his university roommates had all gone their separate ways, and they rarely kept in touch throughout the year.

The next morning,

Song Shi'an got out of bed with dark circles under his eyes.

Fu Jingyan's words—"I think Mingyu likes you"—lingered in his mind.

He had even dreamed about Lu Mingyu last night.

He really had gone crazy! Being enslaved by Lu Mingyu during the day was not enough; he had to see him in his dreams at night too!

The key was that his dream had been full of all sorts of messy things.

Song Shi'an covered his face, deeply ashamed.

Emergency! Help! What should you do if you dream about your boss lying naked in your bed?

Maybe it was because he had examined Lu Mingyu's abs too closely last time. The image of them in his dream had been especially clear.

There really were eight of them.

Lu Mingyu's devastatingly handsome face, paired with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs—and he was in his bed! Just thinking about it made him want to commit a crime in the heat of the moment.

He glanced at the time. Fine, he still had to go to work.

After tidying himself up, he headed out with dark circles under his eyes.

The elevator chimed.

The doors slowly opened, revealing those same two gossip-loving girls again.

Song Shi'an instinctively wanted to pull his foot back and wait for the next elevator.

But the two girls enthusiastically called him in. "Come in! There's plenty of room."

If he did not get in, it would seem a little deliberate.

Song Shi'an could only step inside.

The two girls were incredibly curious. Seeing him enter, they asked excitedly, "Hey, where are the two handsome guys who were with you last time?"

Since the topic had come up, he took the chance to clarify. "I live alone normally. They're just my friends."

The two girls exchanged a glance, seemingly picking up on something, then nodded together.

"We understand, we understand. You had a fight."

Song Shi'an: "?"

"No—" He had barely begun explaining when he was interrupted.

"It's fine, it's fine. We understand." The girls comforted him considerately.

Song Shi'an insisted, "They're just my friends!"

The girls nodded. "I know, I know. Just friends!"

Song Shi'an: "..."

Why did it feel like they did not believe him?

When the elevator reached the first floor, the girls were still encouraging him. "Don't worry. When you like someone, gender doesn't matter! You can do it!"

That explanation had been for nothing!

Out of sight, out of mind. Song Shi'an prepared to go get his car.

The girls happened to be headed the same way. The two of them walked quickly ahead of him, whispering to each other.

"Look at him. No one's with him today, and he's already so haggard! How pitiful..."

Aaaahhh! The whole world had gone crazy!!

No, if this kept up, Song Shi'an felt that sooner or later, he really would be led astray.

It had to be because he did not have a girlfriend—that was why he had become like this!
