Volume One: Those Years I Was a CEO
Wrong Position
The sweet interaction between the two sparked another wave of comments flooding the screen1, almost all of them saying, “So sweet it kills!”
Wen Nuan stared blankly at You Jiayi. Her action just now was clearly an ambiguous gesture, right?!
The System gave Wen Nuan a suggestion: 【Go for it! Host! We can’t lose. Pull her over, hold her on your lap, use your burning lips to kiss her breathless, go!】
Wen Nuan: “…..”
What kind of damn2 system did she bind to?!
Her system wasn’t this improper before?
What exactly did this system go through after they separated? Did someone download some messy software onto it?
The System gave a cold smile: 【Isn’t this all thanks to Host’s good teaching? After all, I was once bound to you, leading the entire Three Realms system network to know my Host is someone who follows crooked ways3, is unconventional4, doesn’t do proper things, and neglects honest work5. Consequently, my reputation among those systems isn’t too great either.】
Wen Nuan: “…..”
Oh ho!
So this is her fault now?!
Wasn’t she just trying to complete the mission as quickly as possible?
Besides, when the mission reached its later stages, she didn’t see the System objecting to her crooked ways; it even joined in with her. Now that trouble’s occurred, she has to take the fall6 for everything?
What is this?
They fly bravely together, but when trouble hits, she takes the blame first?!
“No, what’s past is past. Don’t you know that even the deepest feelings can’t withstand digging up old scores7? Why do you keep digging up old scores?” Wen Nuan said sternly. “Are you trying to separate from me?”
【If I wanted to separate from you, would I have come back to help you solve the problem of your frozen points?】the System retorted, exasperated.
Although 500,000 points had been deducted and it had been officially criticized, the System knew it had achieved mission success through opportunistic means, so the punishment was deserved. Besides, it wasn’t as severe as Wen Nuan’s situation, where all her points were frozen.
Equivalent to working for nothing.
Wen Nuan was instantly touched, her lips trembling: “Wuwuwu, Tongzi8, you’re still the best.”
The System replied haughtily: 【Hmph, so when I give you ideas, you should listen. It’s not like I’m trying to harm you. Now that the female lead is provoking us like this, we must seize back the dominant position.】
“Right, you won’t harm me,” Wen Nuan gave a dry laugh, “You’re f%cking trying to turn me gay9!”
System: 【….】
Have to say, this kid was smart from a young age.
However, the System had a point. You Jiayi was openly provoking her; Wen Nuan definitely had to get even / regain face10.
After dinner, the two toured the inside and outside of the B&B11. The flowers and green plants in the courtyard were blooming vigorously. After getting permission from the B&B owner, they picked some to take back to their room for flower arranging.
Doing this made time fly, and soon it was time to rest and sleep.
Both silently looked at the large bed before them.
Wen Nuan’s eyes darted around, then she leaned close to You Jiayi’s ear and whispered, “I’m going to take a shower first.”
You Jiayi’s ears instantly turned red. She didn’t dare look at Wen Nuan, lowering her eyes shyly. “En.”
Wen Nuan chuckled softly. “Your ears are so red?”
In an instant, it wasn’t just her ears that were red; the blush spread down from the side of her face. You Jiayi looked like a freshly cooked crayfish.
You Jiayi lowered her head even further.
Aha, got even!
Wen Nuan stopped teasing You Jiayi and walked into the bathroom with her change of clothes to shower.
Hearing the door close, You Jiayi let out a deep breath.
Looking at her flushed red self in the mirror, and the heart pounding passionately in her chest.
You Jiayi patted her head, afraid the camera might pick up the sound, and silently scolded herself: You Jiayi, get a grip!
Wen Nuan just simply said she was going to shower, and you started letting her imagination run wild12. Even a lecher13 probably isn’t as horny as you!
[Livestream]
Heh heh Laughter: No, I’m a bit curious, you’ve been together five or six years and you still get shy like this? Why so shy over “I’m going to take a shower”?
: The commenter above clearly hasn’t been in love. “I’m going to take a shower” means the battle is about to begin!!
Looking Back I Steal Your Stuff: I have a friend… ah, pfft, I want to hear the details.
Ninth Day: I’m also quite curious. These two have been together five or six years, yet they’re still so innocent and pure? You Jiayi got all red just from the CEO’s sentence?
Baby Doll: That’s love. The other person’s every frown and smile affects everything about you.
I’m a Good Person: Um… production team, can you broadcast when these two sleep? I’m willing to pay to watch.
Gal4252: Same here!
…..
Adhering to their moral bottom line and the possibility of being shut down as pornographic websites14 if they continued the live broadcast, the production team ruthlessly cut the feed.
Wen Nuan finished her shower and came out wearing a short-sleeved top and black silk pajama pants, seeing You Jiayi sitting dazedly on the bed.
“I’m done showering, you can go wash up,” Wen Nuan said, drying her hair as she walked over.
You Jiayi seemed startled, jumping up with a swoosh. Losing her balance for a moment, she actually stumbled towards the door.
Seeing this, Wen Nuan immediately rushed forward to pull her back. But force is reciprocal, and the two ended up tumbling onto the bed together.
The B&B’s bed was quite good, very springy. The two landed one on top of the other, bouncing up and down three times, perfectly aligned15.
Wen Nuan looked at You Jiayi on top of her, the weight rendering her momentarily silent.
You Jiayi looked at Wen Nuan beneath her, swallowing hard.
Wet strands of hair stuck to her face, her water-slicked peach blossom eyes hazy and alluring. The collar of the short-sleeved top was wide and had accidentally been pulled open during the tumble, revealing a delicate collarbone, half of her ■■16, and what looked like… a black tattoo pattern.
You Jiayi wanted to take a closer look, but Wen Nuan sensed her gaze landing on her chest and thought in alarm: Damn, the female lead wouldn’t, right?!
She wrapped her arms around You Jiayi’s waist and, with a burst of strength, pulled her up into a sitting position.
The resulting posture became even more awkward.
You Jiayi’s legs were spread, sitting astride her crotch, their bodies fitting together intimately.
In that instant, held by Wen Nuan, You Jiayi flushed red, her eyes glistening.
And because of this position, images from those videos the System had shown her flashed through Wen Nuan’s mind, including this exact pose, so hot17 it made her whole body tremble.
The room was very quiet; the camera had been covered long ago.
Only the sound of their two abnormally fierce heartbeats remained.
Thump-thump, thump-thump—
You Jiayi didn’t know what Wen Nuan’s action meant, but she felt she shouldn’t be too stiff, otherwise it would be uncomfortable for Wen Nuan to hold her.
She slowly relaxed her body, leaning against Wen Nuan, resting her chin on Wen Nuan’s shoulder hollow.
The two looked like they were tightly embracing, warm and filled with burgeoning ambiguity.
Wen Nuan’s eyes widened. “!!”
What the hell is this?!
The female lead… she… she… what is she doing?
Fingertips trembling, Wen Nuan secretly took a deep breath, then abruptly stood up, lifting You Jiayi.
You Jiayi let out a cry of surprise as Wen Nuan picked her up horizontally in a princess carry.
Wen Nuan carried You Jiayi to the bathroom, set her down at the door, left her with a “Go take a shower,” and closed the door for her.
You Jiayi: “….”
The moment the door closed, Wen Nuan felt like she could finally breathe again.
Heart pounding like thunder, cheeks flushed hot, her whole being felt dazed. As she reached the bedside, her legs gave way, and she collapsed onto the bed.
Draping an arm over her eyes, Wen Nuan thought about You Jiayi’s appearance just now.
Trembling in her arms, those almond eyes, watery and bright, looking right at her with an air of coyly resisting yet inviting18. In that instant, Wen Nuan hadn’t even dared to breathe deeply.
Wen Nuan suddenly curled up, thinking frantically: Something’s wrong! Something’s wrong!
She grabbed her phone and immediately searched for pictures of the currently most beautiful women, regardless of country, style, or dress. Wen Nuan searched for and looked at a pile of them, finding herself unmoved, completely calm.
She then searched for a pile of handsome men photos – muscular guys with eight-packs, fresh and sunny pretty boys19, mature and steady uncle types – still no ripples, her heart like still water20.
Wen Nuan couldn’t help but wonder, what the hell was wrong with her just now?
Was she having an episode?!
You Jiayi quickly washed up. When she came out of the bathroom, she saw Wen Nuan lying on the other side of the bed, turned away, playing on her phone.
The atmosphere between them earlier had been too ambiguous and lingering. While showering, she had been thinking about all sorts of things, making her feel particularly embarrassed to chat with Wen Nuan now.
She slowly shuffled over and saw Wen Nuan staring blankly at her phone; the screen showed a man who looked fresh and sunny.
You Jiayi: “….”
From a surging heart to a heart like still water took only the blink of an eye.
Wen Nuan felt the bed shift, the covers being lifted, and someone lying down beside her.
Her body instantly stiffened, somewhat afraid to turn around, slowly putting her phone away.
You Jiayi saw this action of trying to hide something, a knot forming in her heart. Secretly looking at handsome guys behind my back, then quickly putting the phone away when she’s afraid I’ll see.
Acting totally guilty.
You Jiayi lay on her side, facing away from Wen Nuan.
The two lay like that, each on their own side, not speaking, not moving.
Wen Nuan waited for a long time, but the female lead didn’t pounce on her. She felt a sigh of relief, yet also a faint sense of disappointment.
What the hell was she disappointed about!?
You Jiayi waited for a long time, but Wen Nuan didn’t initiate conversation. Her heart felt stuffed with cotton. She’s probably still looking at handsome guys, right?!
Are they really that good-looking!?
Those stiff, smelly men, can they possibly feel as comfortable to touch as me?
The more she thought, the angrier she got. You Jiayi decided to take the initiative, at least to control Xu Wen Nuan’s behavior of looking at handsome guys again.
Wen Nuan felt the person beside her move. She held her breath, her whole body tensing further.
A small hand secretly snuck over, tugging at Wen Nuan’s short sleeve, tugging lightly again and again, much like a kitten pawing, its soft pads ticklish but not painful.
Wen Nuan couldn’t stand this awkward and ambiguous atmosphere; this situation needed to be resolved.
She turned her head. “What’s wrong?”
You Jiayi’s large eyes widened, full of expectation. “Can you hold me while we sleep?”
Wen Nuan: “….”
Maybe… let’s not resolve it?
System picked its nose: 【Wimp!21】
Wen Nuan: “….”
F%ck!
This is a matter of principle, can’t tolerate this!
Seeing Wen Nuan hesitate to answer, You Jiayi was filled with disappointment and was about to retreat when her wrist was suddenly grasped. Then, with a pull, by the time she reacted, she was already lying in Wen Nuan’s arms.
It was that familiar scent of smoke, emitting a faint, delicate fragrance, like roses after the rain.
The raindrops had dispersed the intensity of the roses, leaving only a refreshing and pleasant22 lingering aroma.
Wen Nuan watched her nose twitching, as if sniffing something.
“What are you doing?”
You Jiayi looked up from her embrace. “Why does other people’s smoke smell so bad, but yours smells so good?”
She was asking seriously; she was genuinely curious.
Wen Nuan: “….”
F%ck!
She’s trying to tease her again!
Can’t lose.
Wen Nuan chuckled lightly. “You like it?”
You Jiayi nodded. “En en, it smells really good.”
Xu Wen Nuan’s unique scent.
“Then from now on, I’ll only let you smell it, okay?” Wen Nuan lowered her voice, her husky tone seemingly soaked in desire.
You Jiayi’s face reddened, unable to stop smiling. “…Okay.”
Seeing her like this, Wen Nuan thought inwardly: Heh heh, total victory!
She saw You Jiayi was about to chat again, worried this girl would try to tease her more.
Wen Nuan pressed You Jiayi’s head back into her embrace, saying sternly, “It’s late, hurry up and sleep. Early to bed, early to rise, makes you healthy.”
You Jiayi snuggled closer to Wen Nuan, hugging her waist. “En en.”
Seeing she had finally settled down, Wen Nuan slowly let out a breath.
Truly a tormenting little sprite23.
Why hadn’t she discovered before how good You Jiayi was at teasing?!
