CH 2

Lu You picked the boy up and put him down a few meters away from the edge, he watched the boy's eyes that were red as he was still crying and squatted in front of the boy: "I really don't deserve your love, don't do stupid things for me again."

The boy had never seen such a gentle look from Lu You, and at once, the shock of pretending to jump made him somewhat dazed as he kept on looking at him.

That face was the reason why so many Omegas were fascinated with him, especially his peach blossom eyes, which are beautiful and gentle. No matter what emotion was reflected in them, they looked full of amorous feelings, and a calmness would overtake you as he’d gently smile.

And even now, you could feel like those eyes were trying to seduce people, even though he wasn’t even smiling.

This is the face of the one who took Luo Xinghe away from him and even bullied him relentlessly.

The boy's eyes flickered slightly, his reddened eyes took Lu You's appearance in: “If you want me to let you go, then can you at least hug me again?"

He cannot take it.

How could he accept the fact that Luo Xinghe liked Lu You, the same Lu You who wasn’t even worthy of that liking. He will definitely not let him off.

Lu You thought that he had scored an arrangement as the hero, and he nodded his head. “Alright.”

The boy opened his arms for him.

Who knew that the moment the boy hugged him, he suddenly felt something being violently stabbed into his abdomen. There was no time for him to react and the heat that was rushing from his abdomen made him unable to think. With a pale face, he lowered his head to look down at his abdomen in shock.

He only got to see a knife inserted into his abdomen, where large amounts of blood were gushing out quickly and staining what looked to be a very expensive school uniform red, blindingly red.

“Lu You!!”

Just then he heard a cry from behind him, but he didn't have the strength to see who it was. The pain in his abdomen made him fall to the ground, and he couldn't even speak.

The boy who heard the voice coming from the door snapped his head up. His hands trembled as he seemed to be in shock when he realized that he had really stabbed Lu You. He lifted his hands in mid-air with a guilty look in his face, and his eyes flickered weakly to look at the visitor:

“.....Why…are you here.”

“Song Xi, do you realize what you’ve done!!!”

Hearing Luo Xinghe scolding him, the boy felt wronged and his eyes showed an aggrieved look: “I should know what I’m doing.”

“Who told you to touch him!!”

"I love him so much that it was as if my heart was cut open with a knife, and when he dies I will die with him. What, did I do something wrong?"

Luo Xinghe's eyes were grim as he looked at Song Xi.

Song Xi did not feel in the least that his murderous behavior was horrible: "Really, I love him, just now I was about to jump off the building, wasn’t I?"

“Who are you trying to baffle right now?”

Song Xi: “....”

Lu You was in pain and feeling so weak that he thought he was really dying, and these two people were still chatting his ears off over there? This world really was a terrible place!

“....Hey, dying man over here….”

He couldn’t even speak for two seconds before dizziness hit him forcefully.

So, he really was going to die?

【Yes, you died. I didn't expect you to die so quickly, and I also didn't expect you to save Song Xi.】

His eyes snapped open at the sound of a voice, and then he found himself standing at the edge of the rooftop again.

Looking at the scene, he fell on the floor, very lonely since he was ignored by the two people next to him. Those two were actually still arguing.

There was also an unknown boy standing in front of Song Xi.

Could that be…. Luo Xinghe!

But why was he there?

And actually, why was he standing too? He looked down at his stomach, which looked completely intact.

【Who spoke ?!】

【[I'm your artificial intelligence AI Duo Duo 1 .  You were electrocuted to death in your home and accidentally triggered the task released by Mr. L of Parallel Time and Space. Now you need to act as a promulgator and complete some tasks such as stimulating the Big Bro to blacken or settle the matters with the villains to be reborn and return to your reality. I will protect you all the way through this journey.】

【But like I said, I didn't expect you to save the cannon fodder Song Xi, so the plot has been overturned by you personally, and now you're dead, but don't worry, I've resurrected you】

Lu You:【……】artificial intelligence AI loves more? Mr. L? Stimulate the big boss to blacken? Solve things with vicious villains? He's already dead in his world? And he’s dead again? No, he can’t understand.

【Since you saved Song Xi, Song Xi, who’s no longer a cannon fodder survived and the plot has changed a bit. Song Xi has now upgraded to being a vicious male rival, so you have to follow the original plot to stimulate the big brother Luo Xinghe to blacken, solve the vicious villain’s problem, and assist the big boss to overcome all difficulties to inherit the throne before you can return to your original world.】

Lu You:【But I don’t want to be the scum, can’t I just come in to save Luo Xinghe? Why do you even want to follow the original plot and blacken him? He’s too miserable in it.】

【There’s no need to ‘save’ Luo Xinghe, you have to stimulate his blackening. You can’t use your estrus to do that, so you can try and awaken him in other ways. You also can’t let him achieve his goal by using you. To be kind to Luo Xinghe is to be cruel to yourself. Protect yourself and follow the original owner's designs.】

Lu You looked at the other two who were still arguing:【But even so, didn’t stimulating his blackening end up with the original owner dead? Ah, this is tragic.】

【The main plot line can't be changed. This is a great story, and it's mainly about Luo Xinghe's counterattack. There must be no emotional moment. Once they appear, he will repeat the same mistakes. Luo Xinghe, the big boss, must also defeat the villain after he gets blackened because of your ruthlessness and indifference. This is the main plot. Besides, don't you want to go back?】

【I do!】

【Then I hope you can stay safe this time. Good luck.】

He didn’t get the chance to ask what it meant, and he ended up instantly fainting.

——

“Well……”

He slowly opened his eyes, with a faint smell of sandalwood gracing his nose. After his vision gradually cleared, he found that this room was not only as big as a square, but also had lavish decoration that was so golden that it blinded his eyes.

Hm? Where was he?

As his eyes swept upward, he saw the coiled dragons pillars on both sides of the bed. The gold seemed to flash with its metallic luster, and he glanced at the quilt that was covering him…. Also golden.

He couldn’t help gulping, just don’t tell him that this was an Emperor’s bedchamber.

This gold pasted everywhere seemed to scream money. Wealth seemed to float in the air, however, it’s all extremely tacky and even vulgar as it lacked happiness.

He was about to sit up when he felt something pull at his abdomen: “Fuck, it hurts…”

“Be careful Young master.”

At this moment, a faint but extremely magnetic voice sounded in his ears. At the same time, his hand was caught and he tilted his head sideways.

He looked at the person next to the bed, bangs curtained half of his face, so he couldn’t see his whole appearance properly, but his skin is very white, very soft looking, and he was wearing the uniform of an elite school. He seemed out of place.

Is that Luo Xinghe?

【This is indeed Luo Xinghe. Remember, abusing him, stimulating him and making him blacken is your purpose.】

Lu You immediately withdrew his gaze and tried to sit up with difficulty, then he felt the back of his waist being held, and his body trembled when he was touched, so he subconsciously grabbed Luo Xinghe's hand.

Luo Xinghe froze, and his heart couldn't help but flutter when he met Lu You's beautiful peach blossom eyes that were full of emotion.

But it was quickly suppressed by himself.

Lu You did not notice Luo Xinghe's strange behavior, instead, he examined Luo Xinghe carefully, ah, this is his super heartbroken protagonist!

【Lu You, don’t break character, you are supposed to be a scumbag.】

Lu You【……Just go excited for a moment.】

【Keep your image of scum and continue to be ruthless to Luo Xinghe, he is not worth your admiration anyways. While the original owner was ruthless, isn’t Luo Xinghe just as heartless? Luo Xinghe forced the original owner to go into heat, just to achieve his purpose of blackening, then he imprisoned him and didn’t even touch him even though he was in pain because of his heat, isn’t that cruel as well? So use other ways to blacken Luo Xinghe, and solve the matter with the vicious villain Song Xi so that you will be able to return to reality, especially if you want to go back as soon as possible.】

【So the plot I read is different from the one that’s unfolding now?】

【The book only showed some parts of the scumbag, you have to be even more terrible than the original Lu You so that Luo Xinghe gets no chance to touch you. That way you can finally draw a clear relationship between you two. Also, remember, don’t be fooled by Luo Xinghe. 】

Perhaps it was because the system’s tone was excessively heavy, but he couldn’t help but get serious as well. It became clear the plot had really changed, and no matter how he looked at it, Luo Xinghe was no longer a poor and miserable little one. His ruthlessness couldn’t be comparable to the original Lu You.

So he let go of Luo Xinghe's hand and let a smirk appear on his lips: "You're the one who's happiest when something happens to me, aren’t you? Are you lamenting about the fact that I didn't die?"

【Hehe, how’s my performance?】

【Don’t be too proud, it’ll hit you back in the face. 】

Luo Xinghe felt the remaining heat on his wrist, and just a moment's residual temperature could make his heart tremble. His long bangs covered his eyes that were dark as ink and dizzy. An extremely complicated emotion was swirling in them, and finally, it got buried into the depths of them.

His line of sight falls on the slightly mocking smile on the lips of Lu You, and while withdrawing his hand, he drops his gaze for a moment while he seems to be deeply engulfed by self-deprecation.

"How can I be happy,  the young master getting injured is the same as my heart getting stabbed by a knife. I want to inflict a thousand cuts on Song Xi who hurt you.”

Lu You: "......" He sighed in his heart, this was truly worthy of the big boss who looked to nurture a deep love. So were those feelings true or not ah? According to the system Luo Xinghe’s feelings weren’t so simple towards the original owner.

He quietly aimed his eyes at him and observed the reaction of Luo Xinghe. While he couldn’t see his appearance clearly, he currently seemed to be more humble and delicate…(?)

"Young master, if you went to Song Xi to provoke me, it's really unnecessary. It's not worth it if you hurt yourself." Luo Xinghe lightly said.

Lu You heard that title and was suddenly secretly happy, ah, the big bro called him young master. But still, he had to start brainstorming to answer him.

If it’s the scum Lu You’s words….

“If I feel like it, I’ll do it, and so what about it?”

"You know that I love you, and you know that I will keep on loving you, so why do you still want to use Song Xi?" Luo Xinghe stood up and helped Lu You by fixing the corner of the quilt, his movements were very gentle, and no one saw the anger mixed with love and hate in his eyes.

Lu You heard this familiar phrase, and he remembered that there was this paragraph in the original novel when he was in estrus on the rooftop. The scum's answer was absolutely ruthless.

"Your heart aches for me? Why would it matter to me? Love me? Did I allow it?" He looked at Luo Xinghe and said indifferently.

Why does saying that makes him feel a bit cool?

This was drama, real drama.

Luo Xinghe twisted a corner of the quilt. He then looked at the back of Lu You’s hand where a needle was inserted. An alpha’s skin yet it looked so tender that a needle bruised it like that. What would happen if he pinched it, pressed on it or bitten it?

He quietly took in Lu You’s usual mean words and noted them down in his heart. This was the 2090th time he wanted to skin him alive.

He looked up at Lu You and softly laughed: "Yes, I don't deserve you, but I'm guilty of being weak. I'm jealous when I think that Song Xi is near you and touching you, because I’ll always love you, young master."

Lu You to Luo Xinghe: "......"

He gulped.

Does this have to be so hard?
