Chapter 703: 13.4 - Missed Star - Confrontation

Seeing Ye Qiuji's hatred-filled eyes, Long Xie was confused as to why the man seemed to hate him so much as he doesn't remember doing something bad towards him in his memory.

All memories he has is that he and Ye Qiuji were chosen by the world system to be future legal partners as they were the only ones with 3S Physique. Their compatibility is close to 100 % and no one is worthy of General Autumn aside from him.

[Host. Please calm down. The memories the original showed you are something that happened in the past. This is a newly reset world. They are both different as this is a Protagonist Gong that hasn't fallen in love with the Protagonist Shou yet.]

Hearing his system's explanation, the hatred in his heart disappears and felt confused instead. He felt uncomfortable around this protagonist gong, as this is the man that he is destined to be enemies with.

Ye Qiuji asked about his system. 'Something is wrong with this Protagonist Gong. Didn't he just meet the Protagonist Shou, why is there no attraction between them at all!?'

[That Host, according to the data reading of the world. It seems that he fell for you instead of the Protagonist Shou. He saw you at that river when bathing through the camera and then got attracted to you.]

Shocked Ye Qiuji, 'Huh!? Is this protagonist gong perverted!? Why would he fall for me just because he saw me bathing in the river half naked!?'

[That Host, I don't know. Why don't you check instead maybe he is your husband or something.]

'You want me to kiss a stranger? No f.u.c.king way!'

Long Xie saw Ye Qiuji's constant changing of expression and he couldn't help but feel that this gesture of his was cute and chuckled for a bit.

Pfft~

He Yuu looked at his friend in disbelief. He had never seen his friend smile much more and laughed this way.

"Xiao Ru slapped me once. I must be dreaming. A'Long just laughed!" exclaimed He Yuu, shocked.

When Long Xie heard his silly friend's claims he stopped laughing and returned to being cold. He then looked at Ye Qiuji with tenderness in his eyes as he tried to speak gently to him.

"I'm Long Xie. I owned this Snowflakes Entertainment Company you interviewed as a trainee, but I knew your real ident.i.ty and wish to ask why you are entering my company. Can you please explain yourself, Ye Qiuji?" said Long Xie.

"Right? Why are you inside this game Xiao Ru? Aren't you busy being the Enigmatic General Autumn's confidant?" asked He Yuu to his fiance while Tang Ruan looked at his future silly husband like he lost his brain or something.

Long Xie and Ye Qiuji also heard He Yuu's question to his fianc. Long Xie couldn't help but sighed while Ye Qiuji is looking at He Yuu like he is some kind of endangered animal. He Yuu can see the pitying gaze of his future wife and his friend while the silver-haired beauty is looking at him like he is some kind of panda.

He Yuu asked, "What did I say wrong?"

Ye Qiuji said, "Ruru. Your future husband seems like he will be fun. Why don't you give him to me?" giving Tang Ruan a teasing smile but he was definitely joking around.

"Boss~ please don't joke around. This silly thing is mine. Go look for yours. Sire here seems to be interested in you. Why don't you entertain him instead?" said Tang Ruan as he helped the man who was staring at his devil boss like he was some kind of lovestruck fool.

Ye Qiuji turn around and looked at the protagonist gong who was still staring at him the whole time.

Long Xie suddenly introduced himself, "I'm only 26 years old this year. I am very rich and very strong too. I can protect you and give you whatever you want. I will serve you like a G.o.d. Please consider me."

Once They heard Long Xie speak those words, the other couple was completely dumbfounded especially, He Yuu, who had never seen his friend act this way in his whole life. While Tang Ruan was shocked that someone really dared to court his little devil boss who no one else can control.

He didn't expect to meet a foolish man who is unafraid to approach his devilish boss. On the other hand, Ye Qiuji was shocked for a moment before he suddenly started laughing. These puerile and innocent antics of this man remind him of his husband's last reincarnation.

Yun Shen when they met once again as Hei Anjing, this husband of his spoke with so much honesty that even telling him he loves him all the time at any moment when they asked made him feel that he was so cute and innocent.

Ye Qiuji laughed nonstop after hearing what Long Xie just said, "Hahaha~ pain. My tummy hurts from l-laughing Hehehe~"

Hearing that Long Xie helped him rub his tummy to ease the pain. This is one of Long Xie's unconscious actions but to Ye Qiuji this action of his is one of his husband's quirks when he was with him.

"Why are you rubbing my tummy?"

Long Xie paused, then looked confused for a moment before he could answer. "... you said your tummy hurts. So, I rubbed it for you?"

Long Xie is confused about his actions too. He didn't think of rubbing Ye Qiuji's tummy, but his body moved on its own to do so. He couldn't understand but he felt that he should do it.

Ye Qiuji stared at him observing him. "You said your name is Long Xie. Are you Long Huangdi from Dragon Cosmos?"

Long Xie honestly answered. "Yes."

Seeing this He Yuu couldn't stop him on time and just covered his mouth in disbelief. Normally this difference of his would never honestly tell someone his real ident.i.ty even if proofs were laid before him but this argent-haired beauty just had to ask him once and he answered right away.

"Do you smoke and like to drink black coffee without the sugar?" asked Ye Qiuji.

Long Xie answered, "I do smoke, Yes I drink coffee without sugar."

His answer made Ye Qiuji's face show an expression of disbelief and he hesitatingly asked, "What do you think I hate(s)?"

Long Xie ponders for a moment before answering. "You don't like drinking milk. You don't eat carrots and spicy food. You hate the cold. You can't sleep alone. You can't eat food cooked by others." He was counting with his fingers as he lists out everything Ye Qiuji gates as if those were imprinted on his soul.

Their conversation continued weirdly and Ye Qiuji is still looking at Long Xie with disbelief and longing in his eyes. After hearing everything he wanted to check, Ye Qiuji suddenly pulled Long Xie's collar down so he could reach him and then suddenly kissed him.

Long Xie was surprised for a while but the moment their lips touched they could feel their soul resonate as if they had done this numerous times. Ye Qiuji reached his hands to Long Xie's neck while the latter carried him by his b.u.t.t and felt a pair of legs wrapped around his waist.

As Long Xie noticed Ye Qiuji's impatience and also saw the other couple's stunned expression. He could only carry Ye Qiuji deep within the dark forest and continue his romantic moment with his love there in privacy.

Tang Ruan looked at his lover, "Does your friend know my boss?"

"I was going to ask you the same thing. Xiao Ru." Replied He Yuu.

A few minutes later, Long Xie returned carrying Ye Qiuji on his arm with a few rabbits on the other. They can see that the relations.h.i.+p between the two was different than before. The group of four surrounds the bonfire the youngsters had left behind.

While making sure the fire is steady, He Yuu watches his friend busy himself with preparing the rabbits to be roasted. He captured two rabbits for them, one for each couple. Ye Qiuji was covered by a blanket from out of nowhere which Long Xie prepared ahead of time. While waiting for the rabbits to be cooked, they watched Long Xie sit behind Ye Qiuji and hugged him from behind naturally.

Ye Qiuji accepted his gesture like it was normal. While the two were spreading dog food unknowingly the audience was silently watching them in disbelief.

Ma.s.saging his lover's fingers, "Qiu'er, team up with me, okay?" said Long Xie.

"Add my confidant and your silly friend." Replied Ye Qiuji.

Long Xie responded. "Good. I will act as a trainee as well. Let's share a room."

"Whatever you want. yawns*"

Tang Ruan and He Yuu waited for the game to end while being fed dog food the whole time. Halfway they decided to ignore the weird couple and flirt as well. Eventually, a global announcement was heard inside the field saying that the compet.i.tion had ended.

'Compet.i.tion ends! Congratulations to the Top 20 Players on the field! You are now qualified to become Snowflakes Entertainment Company's Trainees!'

Ranking:

Ye Qiu: 113 Kills

Ru Tang: 108 Kills

Ye Wusheng: 20 Kills

Tu Zise: 10 Kills

After the announcement of the game's stage ending had been heard, the list of top players and their kill count was also mentioned. As expected, Ye Qiu and Ru Tang had overdone it. It was more like a one-sided ma.s.sacre instead of a battle royale game.

"I will pick you up." Long Xie hugged Ye Qiuji for the last time and kissed him on his forehead before their Virtual avatars returned to reality.

Ye Qiuji smiled. "Wake me up then."

---

Two hours later. The Crossover Virtual Reality Show's 51st Audition was over. Meeting Room. Only He Yuu returned to attend this meeting as his boss was waiting for his wife to come out of the life capsule.

There was a long table set with champagne and number plates outside the arena. The program producer was currently giving the golden thigh investors an enthusiastic introduction to the compet.i.tion format.

To one side, the videographer was currently adjusting the lens and recording a shot of the helicopter carrying one of the life-saving capsules. The director on the side was stiffly standing as the one beside him is the owner of his company, Long Xie.

Long Xie spoke, "You only have 3 minutes." He said to the director beside him. In short, he was only allowing the company to record his wife for 3 minutes then he would take him home.

Sweating nervously the director nodded his head like a pecking chicken. "Position 13, get ready and be extremely careful. The ranked 1st contestant has arrived. Prepare to open the capsule." He ordered yelled. "3 minutes time recording limit."

The videographer was nervous as well as he couldn't retake the video as the big boss only allowed a minute allocated time for them to record the beauty inside the capsule. When the videographer gestured to indicate that they were ready.

The director shaking fingers keyed in the pa.s.sword, then reached out to open the capsule but his expression abruptly changed to one of surprise and he appeared to have fallen into trance. There was silence in the area as everyone else had fallen in trance, only Long Xie was exactly timing them and intending to step forwards after a minute.

"What's going on? Was there an accident?" The emergency workers saw this scene and immediately rushed over. They stretched out their heads to look inside and become just as dazed---

The sleeping beauty sleeping within the life-capsule had a perfect face that could equate to G.o.ds. It was very difficult to imagine a person's features could be so exquisite, ---even the eyebrows beneath the silvery hair seemed soft enough to be heart-wrenching.

The G.o.d was sleeping curled up in quiet as if he wanted to hug someone but was not able to. He looked cold as he wanted to completely warp himself in his clothes as there was no blanket available inside the capsule.

Unknowingly a minute had pa.s.sed and Long Xie had to spread his aura to take everyone's attention to him. Feeling chills climbing on their backs, everyone couldn't help but s.h.i.+ver and looked anxiously at Long Xie.

Long Xie spoke indifferently, "3 minutes pa.s.sed. Move!"

He was carried with a commanding tone and everyone else move away from the capsule in a uniform manner letting him pa.s.s through. Seeing Ye Qiuji's curling the figure inside the capsule, he knew that he was feeling uncomfortable and cold.

Long Xie instantly covered Ye Qiuji with the wool black blanket he prepared and gently woke him up. Caressing his cheeks. "Qiu'er I've come to pick you up." He whispered gently towards the sleeping man inside the capsule.

Once Ye Qiuji opened his eyes and saw Long Xie, an angelic smile appeared on his face, and reached out to Long Xie.

Angelic Ye Qiuji, "A'Xie you're finally here," reaching out, Long Xie lowered himself to let the latter wrap his arms around his neck while he motioned his arms to carry him in his arms like a princess then they took their leave, leaving everyone else dumbfounded.

Camera Position 13 faithfully projected this scene on the projector monitors. At the front of the venue, several people inside the meeting room who had been hesitant to bid for advertising time on the program were suddenly taken aback as their gazes swept across the screen.

This is the first time they've witnessed two captivating people create such a perfect picture. They couldn't help but fall into trance. They immediately looked at the smiling blonde second boss, He Yuu, seated with them in the room.

Someone couldn't bear it any longer and asked, "B-Boss, what did the big boss say about the future big boss lady? Can we use their image as advertis.e.m.e.nts?"

He Yuu said, "Boss said he doesn't mind as long they, he and Saozi were together in the picture. You can use it for the company image."

Hearing this, this group of old men was delighted. The golden financiers wave their hands in a grand gesture, "Done, We'll invest in all phases right now. Two hundred seconds. Have the recorded screenshots added to extend the raw recording!!"
