Xiao Ci, You Don't Want to Be... Either (21)

Xue Ci finally heard clearly this time.

Surprise completely stunned him; the corners of his eyes became rounded, while the upturned corners resembled hooks.

"You..."

After a moment, he nodded, pursed his lips, and seeing Fu Zhouxuan looking dejected and waiting for his judgment, he couldn't bear to say anything harsh.

Why did that sentence suddenly come out of nowhere?

However, as if Fu Zhouxuan felt his emotions weren't chaotic enough, he suddenly said in a hoarse voice, "I like you so much, Brother Xue Ci."

"You're so beautiful, and you smell wonderful."

"Of course, it's not just these things that make me like you."

There are so many more... I... I can't remember them all.

Xue Ci bit her lip.

He's always treated Fu Zhouxuan like a younger brother, so why did he suddenly confess his feelings?

If it were Fu Yang on the other end, he would definitely have rejected the call outright, but Fu Zhouxuan looked like he was afraid of being abandoned, which was rather pitiful.

Xue Ci really didn't know what to do.

Teenage boys often mistake dependence for affection. He guessed that Fu Zhouxuan probably didn't have many friends and was only familiar with him, which was why he thought Fu Zhouxuan liked him.

So I decided to guide you correctly. "You... you probably lack friends too much. I'll always be your friend, Zhouxuan, otherwise—"

Fu Zhouxuan firmly interrupted him, "Brother Xue Ci, would you want to hug and kiss your friend on your lap, and still have those kinds of dreams?"

Would you want to pin your friend down on the bed and strip them naked?

Xue Ci's body stiffened, and her cheeks belatedly felt burning hot.

Does Fu Zhouxuan know what he's saying?

11: [Host, he obviously knows that he's practically a diamond drill.]

Xue Ci: "?"

11: [When you were scolding him, he hit him... at that time...]

The sound of 11 gradually faded away, replaced by a deep, familiar male voice.

[They get aroused even from a single insult, how shameless.]

[If you slap him, wouldn't you feel a tingling sensation on your scalp?]

[Baby, please don't touch him, don't give him any looks, and definitely don't sit on his face.]

The vulgar words made Xue Ci's ears burn, and she frowned, her beautiful brows furrowing: [Don't speak so crudely...]

After being scolded by Xue Ci, the Fragment quieted down, but 11 popped up again: [Host, it actually called me a lowly dog! This protagonist also has Fragment energy.]

No wonder...

Xue Ci's forehead twitched, and her worried little face scrunched up.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Fu Zhouxuan staring straight at him.

"..."

Xue Ci put on a stern face.

He certainly couldn't give a response, but the important college entrance exam was right now, and he didn't want to hurt the other person.

Let's skip this topic. "Tell me first, what happened during the fight today?"

High school boys change every day. Perhaps due to good nutrition, Fu Zhouxuan grew to 1.9 meters tall, and his shoulders broadened considerably, already showing the outline of an adult man.

Xue Ci's neck ached from craning her neck, so she pointed to the chair next to her and said, "Sit down and speak slowly."

Fu Zhouxuan stiffly walked past him and obediently sat down in the chair.

Xue Ci walked directly in front of him.

Fu Zhouxuan didn't know where to look, his gaze shifting from his neck to his chest, then to his stomach. He didn't know what he was thinking, but the tips of his ears turned red.

In the end, he only dared to stare at the floor, his hands on his knees, his eyes downcast, looking no different from a puppy that had done something wrong.

Xue Ci, completely oblivious, said, "Speak."

Fu Zhouxuan's face showed disgust at the thought of a reason to fight.

They're talking about you behind your back.

Xue Ci was stunned; he hadn't expected that Fu Zhouxuan's reason for fighting was because of him.

What did you say about me?

He continued asking.

"Saying bad things about you." Fu Zhouxuan didn't want to say anything more. The high school he attended was the best and most expensive in the city, and the families of his classmates were all wealthy and powerful. The circle was so small that the fact that he was an illegitimate child quickly spread to his class.

But none of this mattered to him; he had higher goals.

After Xue Ci came to help him attend the parent-teacher conference, that group of people began to openly and secretly inquire about Xue Ci's whereabouts, and behind her back, they used all sorts of vile ideas to speculate about Xue Ci.

Until he went to the restroom, he heard someone making Xue Ci behind him, and he kicked the person against the door.

He felt it was a defilement to hear these disgusting people utter Xue Ci's name.

Although Fu Zhouxuan didn't say it aloud, Xue Ci probably understood.

He felt that the other person looked exactly like a loyal big dog, making it impossible to dislike them.

Xue Ci leaned down. "Does your face still hurt?"

Fu Zhouxuan first shook his head, then, as if he had thought of something, nodded repeatedly.

"It hurts, Brother Xue Ci. I'll know what pain is from now on."

Xue Ci hummed in agreement. "You'll be able to go to school in a few days, and your brother and uncle will both be on your side."

He deliberately brought Fu Yang and Fu Qingxiao in as well, so that Fu Zhouxuan would feel more family affection and not develop feelings for him because of his lack of love.

"You stay put for now--"

Her wrist was gripped tightly, and Xue Ci's shoulders trembled slightly from the other person's burning body temperature.

Fu Zhouxuan seemed to sense that he was about to leave and refused to let go.

The other person's eyes were dark and bright, as if they wanted a response. Xue Ci didn't know what to say, so she awkwardly withdrew her hand, pretending not to know anything. "You stay inside..."

"I'm going back, don't follow me."

After Xue Ci speaking, she realized something was wrong.

It really feels like talking to a big dog.

He turned and quickly left the room.

To everyone's surprise, she almost bumped into Fu Yang's chest when she opened the door.

Xue Ci: "?"

The man looked exactly like someone eavesdropping at the door.

He slammed the door shut and looked at the other person, puzzled.

However, Fu Yang was too thick-skinned. Not only was he not embarrassed, but his gaze lingered on Xue Ci's face.

"What did this kid say to you? Why is your face so red? Did he force a kiss on you?"

Xue Ci him away. "No..."

Ke Xue Ci's face was unusually red. Fu Yang leaned down suspiciously and asked, "What's inside your mouth? Let me smell it."

Xue Ci away, annoyed by the two brothers to the point of not wanting to say a word, and went downstairs with her cheeks puffed out.

However, this appearance only made Fu Yang more suspicious.

He followed closely behind Xue Ci: "That brat didn't actually kiss you, did he? I often see him not wearing a shirt after showering. He's so young and already learning bad habits, trying to seduce people!"

"Why is your face so red? Did you slap him when he forcibly kissed you? Just kick him, don't let him have his way."

Fu Yang kept talking behind her, Xue Ci's mind went blank as she stepped down the stairs.

He was preoccupied, and kept his head down throughout his walk into the living room, not noticing that Fu Qingxiao had returned and bumping right into him.

"Hmm..."

The man's strong chest made Xue Ci's soft, white cheeks bulge together, his nose was also red from the impact, and he looked pitiful with his eyes drooping.

She took a step back, only to find herself pressed against Fu Yang's body.

Like a pitiful glutinous rice ball with filling.

Soft and white, it melts in your mouth with just a sip.

Did your nose hurt from the bump?

Fu Qingxiao bent down to look, and was about to cup Xue Ci's face in his palm, but she dodged him.

He paused for a few seconds, narrowed his eyes, and concealed a dangerous expression.

"Xiao Ci..."

Xue Ci wasn't sure if Fu Qingxiao had heard what Fu Yang had just said, so he tried to calm himself down. "How's the matter of Fu Zhouxuan's fight? What did the school say? Will it affect the college entrance exam?"

"Also, his injuries are quite serious; he still needs to see a doctor."

Every word he uttered expressed his concern for Fu Zhouxuan.

Fu Qingxiao's expression gradually cooled, but he calmly reassured Xue Ci, "Don't worry, leave all of this to me."

Fu Qingxiao was reliable, Xue Ci trusted him completely. She nodded and said, "Then I'll go back to school."

Fu Qingxiao: "It's so late, aren't you going to stay here? You don't have class tomorrow, Saturday."

Xue Ci felt it best to avoid coming here for the time being. "I have an exam and other club activities, so I need to go back now."

Fu Qingxiao didn't say anything more, and picked up his coat again. "I'll take you back to school."

"No."

Before leaving, Xue Ci instructed the two men, "Fu Zhouxuan can't fight anymore. Remember to keep an eye on him."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yang's expression darkened, but he still replied, "Understood."

After Xue Ci's figure completely disappeared, Fu Qingxiao glanced at the second floor and saw Fu Yang with a look of amusement on his face.

"I told you back then that this kid was trying to seduce Xue Ci, but you didn't take it seriously."

"Now look what's happened, they've probably already kissed on the lips."

Fu Yang was initially quite annoyed, but seeing Fu Qingxiao's expression made him feel much better—after all, he had pretended to have a memory lapse to steal her away from him, and now it was time for him to experience that feeling too.

"It's so late, you can leave now."

Fu Qingxiao, with a grave expression, urged them to leave.

*

That evening, Xue Ci received a message from Fu Zhouxuan after being taken to her dormitory.

The other person sent more than a dozen WeChat. The first few were still passionately professing their feelings, but after seeing that he wasn't replying, they started apologizing, saying that they didn't expect a response, but that they had just been holding onto their feelings for a long time.

Seemingly afraid that Xue Ci thought her feelings were worthless and that she was just joking, she even wrote two short essays by hand, one a love letter and the other a letter of self-criticism, and sent them over with photos.

The boy's handwriting was sharp, but the content he wrote resembled a begging puppy.

Xue Ci couldn't bear to refuse him, but she didn't know how to refuse, fearing that any wrong word she said would affect his grades.

Of course, ignoring it is even worse.

He racked his brains for half an hour in front of the chat box and replied with a rather long message.

I know how hard you work, and I know how good you are to me. You save your scholarship money to buy me gifts, and you always buy me milk tea when you pick me up. So stop saying your feelings aren't worth anything. Your priority right now is to study hard. We'll talk about everything else after the college entrance exam.

Xue Ci checked her response three or four times before sending it, afraid that she might have given something inappropriate.

11: [He must think he's finally got it all. I bet he'll study like crazy and try to win you over after the college entrance exam.]

Xue Ci worriedly thought: [As long as I can keep him focused on his exams, I'll be dead by then anyway.]

The Fragment was very unhappy when it saw the message, feeling that it didn't deserve such a good response.

Xue Ci, puzzled. "[He should be a part of you too, right?]"

Fragment: [Then I'm jealous too. Baby, don't be so good to him.]

[I won't let him kiss me either.]

[This kind of wild dog, who comes from the mud, will swallow bones and broth whole the moment he smells the aroma of meat, leaving not a single bite.]

Xue Ci a little embarrassed, so she pretended not to understand and took the opportunity to let it see the message: [You also find this content very inspiring, right? If it were you, would you study harder after seeing this?]

Fearing the Fragment might ramble on, he put on a stern face and said seriously, "[Only answer my questions, no other comments!]"

The Fragment is very obedient: [It will study hard to be worthy of you.]

Xue Ci was satisfied and lowered her eyes to click send.

Soon, he felt a gentle breeze brush against his cheek.

[Wife.]

Fragment's voice was low and husky, delivered in an intimate, lingering tone.

[The way you scolded me with that stern face just now... it felt so good!]

[I wish there had been a physical version sooner.]

[I can kiss you then.]

[It would be even better if you could step on me.]

"...!"

Xue Ci originally wanted to ask how many points it would take to give it a physical form, but after hearing the rest, his ears quickly turned bright red. He ignored the other person and buried his face in his arms.

Fu Zhouxuan replied to the message quickly.

The other person was very excited and promised him that they would do well in the college entrance examination.

Xue Ci checked the progress bar; thankfully, it was still at 95%.

Three days later, Xue Ci learned from Fu Qingxiao that Fu Zhouxuan had returned to school.

He breathed a sigh of relief, unaware that all the students who had harbored fantasies about him had been forced to transfer schools by the Fu Family.

Fu Zhouxuan was completely cut off from the internet and lived at school. He could only get his phone back to send messages to Xue Ci after going home for half a month.

They never said a word of nonsense; they just sent him the report card directly.

The protagonist's grades remained stable in several monthly and mock exams.

Xue Ci was afraid that meeting the other person would affect their mood, so she simply stayed in the dormitory.

He ignored everyone, and since Fu Qingxiao and Fu Yang couldn't see him, they naturally kept calling him.

Xue Ci brushed it off by saying she was busy with school matters lately.

The two of them have been quite busy lately, so they just sent him money, saying they would come to see him once they were done with their work.

Xue Ci was hoping they wouldn't come looking for him; his current position perfectly matched the image of the canary in the original story.

However, such an undisturbed life is always short-lived. One Friday, he and Jiang Shu returned to their dormitory from the library and had just made plans to attend a club activity together the next day. The next second, he opened the door and saw Fu Qingxiao sitting in his chair.

Xue Ci stood there, stunned, and suddenly thought of Fu Yang.

Do all people with the surname Fu like to use this tactic?

Fu Qingxiao said calmly, "Xiao Ci, didn't you say you were going to the library by yourself tonight?"

Xue Ci glanced at him, and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming it was Fu Qingxiao. He awkwardly touched his nose. "I really did go alone."

They just happened to run into Jiang Shu on the way, so they ended up traveling together.

Xue Ci felt he wasn't lying; given his public image, there was no way he could lie. So he straightened his back and said confidently, "You don't believe me? You think I've found someone else?"

Fu Qingxiao didn't speak, staring at him for a long time. "Xiao Ci hasn't been talking to me lately, and doesn't want to be with me."

Xue Ci: "I've been so busy lately, that's why."

Fu Qingxiao reached out, his large hand scooping up his waist, and easily lifted him onto his lap.

The two of them stood face to face.

The man's hot breath brushed against Xue Ci's cheeks, quickly turning them pink. Xue Ci felt a tingling and itchy sensation, which was uncomfortable, so she turned her head away.

He didn't see the man narrow his eyes, his gaze turning dangerous.

The soft flesh on his earlobe was bitten, and Xue Ci's eyes quickly welled up with tears. He felt a peck on the corner of his mouth, but quickly dodged it.

Fu Qingxiao's expression grew increasingly grim. He didn't force her, but instead touched Xue Ci's stomach with his finger.

Feeling her clothes being lifted, Xue Ci's shoulders trembled in fright.

"Has Xiao Ci really not been in contact with anyone else lately?"

Fu Qingxiao rubbed his face against his; he had just returned from a business trip, and his face still smelled of shaving lotion.

Xue Ci opened her lips as if to say something, but the next second, she felt her stomach being bumped.

"Since you're so unwilling to be intimate with me, I just feel like Xiao Ci has already been satisfied."

The strange words made Xue Ci's eyelashes tremble violently. He was stunned for several seconds, and the moment he realized what was happening, his face turned red and he looked embarrassed.

"N-nothing..." Xue Ci made an excuse, "My roommates will be back soon."

He pursed his lips, noticing the man's tight grip on his wrist, and realized he couldn't escape.

Suppressing my embarrassment, I asked, "Is your car downstairs?"

Fu Qingxiao narrowed his eyes, clearly understanding Xue Ci's meaning instantly, but mischievously pretending not to understand, he deliberately asked, "What's wrong?"

Xue Ci avoided eye contact, her embarrassed expression and rosy cheeks exposed to the man's gaze.

"Go, go to the car."

His voice trembled slightly, and his attempt to please sounded awkward, "I'll let you kiss me for a long time."

*

Fu Qingxiao certainly couldn't bear to kiss someone like that in the car.

He's been very busy lately, but no matter how busy he is, he always makes time to contact Xue Ci.

However, Xue Ci seemed unwilling to contact him.

Fu Qingxiao kept a close watch on Xue Ci, with bodyguards everywhere. Although Xue Ci had been spending most of her time at the library or participating in club activities lately, and he had eliminated any potential suitors around her, Fu Qingxiao still couldn't help but feel uneasy.

He finally understood where Fu Yang's initial anxiety and uncertainty came from.

Because I couldn't sense Xue Ci's love; it might be dependence, admiration, or care, but not the kind of passionate love he had.

No love... is fine too.

As long as Xue Ci is by his side, that's enough.

Ignoring the stares of the other roommates, Fu Qingxiao held Xue Ci's hand all the way back to the car.

His demeanor, more like a husband asserting his dominance than a sugar daddy seeking physical intimacy, caused the progress bar to rewind by 3%.

Xue Ci wanted to cry but couldn't, and sat alone in a corner, sulking.

He repeatedly examined the reasons for his falling behind and tried to make up for it.

The best approach suggested by the system is to act as a canary in the coal mine and proactively make the patron comfortable.

Make the client comfortable?

Xue Ci tried asking, "Do you want to kiss me now?"

"You... can kiss me for as long as you want."

"But I might have trouble breathing, so remember to let go of me for a while."

Fu Qingxiao could hear his nervousness and reluctance, and gripped his hand tightly. "Don't rush to do these things."

He then gave the driver an address.

Xue Ci was very familiar with it; it was a place where he and Fu Qingxiao used to often eat together.

Fu Qingxiao then said, "Let me hug you."

This request wasn't unreasonable. Xue Ci leaned slightly towards the man and was quickly pulled into his arms.

The soft touch and familiar scent soothed Fu Qingxiao's nerves.

His fingers tightened, as if trying to meld the person into his own flesh and blood.

He recently tried seeing a psychologist, but because he was in a weaker position in the relationship, he couldn't completely eradicate his alter ego.

This is not the best time, and it may never be eradicated.

Fu Qingxiao could only put aside the present moment and listen to Fu Qingxiao's nagging and complaints inside his body.

Seeing that the other person's unruly personality would make him feel annoyed and jealous, and even call him a dog, made Fu Qingxiao feel much better.

Fu Qingxiao is him; they are one.

Isn't he just like a dog?

Fu Qingxiao felt bitter inside, but soon he felt warm fingertips brush against his cheek.

Are you very tired?

He paused for two seconds after hearing Xue Ci's worried tone, feeling as if a crack had opened deep within his heart, and warm spring water flowed into it.

His voice was hoarse, but just a few words of concern rekindled hope in his heart.

"... a little."

The man's tone was somewhat weaker than usual. "I'm a little tired."

Xue Ci off his lap, leaned closer, and touched his forehead. "It's not very hot... You must be too tired from work and need to rest."

He forgot about his progress bar and said gently, "Then let's go back and rest tonight, and go to the restaurant tomorrow."

When Fu Qingxiao heard Xue Ci take the initiative to arrange tomorrow's schedule, the corners of his lips twitched slightly.

"Good."

*

When the two returned to the villa, the butler had already prepared dinner.

After finishing their meal and resting for a while, Xue Ci noticed that Fu Qingxiao was still looking at documents, so she put them away and told him to go and rest.

Little did she know that these were all tactics men used to make him feel sorry for her.

When did you become so shameless?

Fu Qingxiao scoffed.

[When will you let me out? I want to hug him; it's been so long since I did.]

[I also want to kiss him until his genitals are swollen.]

I want to sleep with him tonight.

Fu Qingxiao ignored him.

His eyes gradually darkened.

He took Xue Ci's hand. "I haven't been sleeping well lately, can I hold you while I sleep?"

This request wasn't excessive, and Xue Ci even pushed him upstairs.

When I reached the corner of the stairs, I heard the sound of the progress bar rewinding again.

... how so?

Xue Ci glanced at the panel and finally saw a line of small text at the very bottom.

Actively make the client feel comfortable.

--Referring to those matters.

Xue Ci's attention was focused on the ceiling, and she didn't realize that she had been led into the bedroom.

The space was pitch black, with only a few slivers of moonlight streaming in through the cracks in the window.

It's dangerous for small, weak herbivores.

Before Xue Ci could react, her ankle was tripped.

The man's strong body pressed down on her, and his aggressive kiss penetrated deeply.

Her lips were pried open, and her mouth was quickly stimulated to produce sticky fluid. The man swallowed her saliva rapidly, and what he couldn't swallow flowed down her chin, leaving it wet.

Xue Ci was weak and even his last piece of clothing was being pulled away. He shamefully pushed the man away with his arm. "Aren't you going to sleep?

The man's voice was incredibly hoarse, "Let me kiss you for a bit first."

Xue Ci her face away. "My mouth hurts..."

The man's next kiss made him regret saying those words.

He almost crawled to the head of the bed on his side, his voice trembling with sobs.

"It's going to break..."

"Stop eating, boohoo..."

However, at this time, another task appears.

As a canary in a gilded cage, you need to take initiative.

Xue Ci's mind was somewhat blank.

initiative...

He seems to only know how to...

That kind.

When Fu Qingxiao grabbed Fu Xue Ci's clothes and said she would take the initiative, all the muscles in his body tensed up involuntarily.

His breathing was heavy, his blood was boiling, his spine was tingling, and every cell in his body was trembling with excitement.

Fu Qingxiao even said something vulgar like wanting to hug Xue Ci and do it from behind near the window.

But Fu Qingxiao knew that was also his idea.

He longed for it deeply too.

This is one way to treat Xue Ci.

My mind wandered, and I could almost smell shadows and fragrances wafting towards me.

The next second, he felt something soft sitting on his face.

Upon realizing what had happened, several veins bulged on Fu Qingxiao's forehead.

Xue Ci seemed very reserved; she kept saying she would take the initiative, but she would tremble uncontrollably just by touching him.

Fu Qingxiao's breath was so hot that it made the entire bedroom feel warmer.

The high temperature caused the Xiao Xue to melt, releasing a trickle of sweet liquid.

Xue Ci heard the sound of the mission being completed.

The progress bar has recovered.

He suppressed his shame and was about to get up.

The next second, Fu Qingxiao's hand roughly gripped his waist.

Author's Note:

Waaaaah, baby, waaaaah! [Poor thing][Poor thing][Poor thing]

The next chapter will probably be around midnight.
