Chapter 8 - 1.8

Lian Zhinan's school life was easy to be called as simple and fun. Due to his amazing face value, he attracted countless admirers, whether men or women. But because of Lian Zhinan's introverted personality, the pursuers willingly gave up their thoughts and just worship his beauty.

Seeing as the plot progress day by day, System 069 was about to go crazy. During this time, they are supposed to play the scene where Lian Zhinan end his life because of depression, but what about depression? It is even better to say that they are enjoying the glory of his host's extreme appearance. They are simply getting into another directions!

"Don't sulk. No one expected this to happen."

Lian Zhinan played with his pen while staring at the teacher lecturing in the front. Even without looking at his side, he could still perceive the uneasiness of the system.

[Ancestor, although, I believed you a hundred percent, this doesn't seem quite right. The plot was advancing to the next level, how could the plot progress when we are still living happily here?]

No one would blame the system's paranoia. Even though, Lian Zhinan's character only played a small scene, that is still one of the major turning of events. Because of Lian Zhinan's death, the protagonist would hate his brother who drove Lian Zhinan to his death. The protagonist was simply a holy father and discovering an innocent individual died because of him, he was unable to accept the fact. He started hating his identity and just wanted to return to his normal and ordinary life.

"Is there really such a person?" Lian Zhinan grinned faintly.

There is no intersection between him and the protagonist, however, with a specific attitude, Lian Zhinan couldn't stop himself from having an interest towards the latter.

A noble, kind, and pure. Without his memories, Lian Zhinan was certain that he was not a good person. His virtue tells a different kind of perspective, the instinct to do something bad and holding some grudges, that is just few of the things that Lian Zhinan would surely do.

[Ancestor, the protagonist of each plane is obviously nurture by the aura of the world's consciousness. So, there is really a person, without hindrance, everything will be on their correct paths, the plot, and the characters.]

One absent of either major or minor scene in the plot would inevitably influence the other scenes. Currently, there is only a minor change, but if the protagonist was able to met his host, he wouldn't be bewitched, right? Yes. The protagonist had the protection of the heavenly dao.

System 069 couldn't help staring at his host again. He was suddenly hesitant and seeing that there are also individuals who were eyeing his host right now, he was even more skeptical.

Damn. I thought that I found a handsome host, but it's actually a disaster?

Lian Zhinan, in the original plot, was surprisingly a hidden genius. Perhaps, because of a withdrawn personality, he was unable to showcased his talents. With this, Lian Zhinan unbelievably understood all lessons thrown at them.

"Student Lian, do you want to eat at the cafeteria?" After the bell rang, one of his classmates asked.

Lian Zhinan who maintained his image as an aloof student, shyly shook his head.

The classmate was disappointed, but instantly understood his situation. The male god is distant and reserved, but it's actually better than to envy one person, right? The male god belongs to no one or to everyone!

After he left, another classmate followed. Soon, Lian Zhinan was surrounded by many people. Luckily, all of them seems to acknowledge Lian Zhinan's polite rejection and slowly dissipated.

[Ancestor, am I the only one who could resist your beauty?] The system asked suddenly.

"What do mean? There are still Grandpa Zhao, the driver, the uncle neighbor and sister—"

[That's because their old age were the only thing that stopped them from having nasty thoughts. And the maids were heels over you!]

Lian Zhinan ignored him and opened the lunch box prepared by the butler. He was already aware that his appearance was exceptional. The kind of unrealistically real. But because of his past identity as the god of beauty, he did not find it troublesome, a little embarrassed, maybe.

Since Chu Yan did not return to the villa this past few days, Lian Zhinan had almost forgotten his past grievance for him. But after opening the door of the car, his whole body froze.

Usually, the butler or Assistant Gu together with the driver would fetch him. Yet, seeing the cold face of Chu Yan, Lian Zhinan was instantly frightened.

"B-brother Chu, are you fetching me?"

The voice was tender and soft, with a mix of panic and anxious. Chu Yan, who was leaning against the passenger seat while, drawing a smoke in his mouth bore his eyes to the youth. His dark eyes glowed behind his eyeglasses.

Lian Zhinan seems to hesitate to sit beside him and glanced at the empty front seat. Nevertheless, Chu Yan was an amazing hunter and sensing that his prey was about to flee, his deep voice sounded.

"Lian Zhinan, come here."

System 069 cursed silently, while Lian Zhinan pursed his lips in protest. This old hooligan, isn't his body now basically a child? This Chu Yan was really shameless.

Armored with his proud and cold temperament, Lian Zhinan was reduced to a tiny rabbit and was forced to sit beside the fraud.

Chu Yan isn't a gym maniac, he belongs to a scholarly type but perhaps due to his image, he maintained a healthy lifestyle. His body was lean but muscular, his figure almost occupied the entire seat and Lian Zhinan sat on the corner to avoid the skin contact. Suddenly, the smell of smoke penetrated Lian Zhinan's nose, and he quickly frowned.

His reaction did not escape in Chu Yan's dark eyes. He sneered and threw the cigarette at the window.

"Drive."

The driver instantly started the car. During the trip, Lian Zhinan forced himself to calm down and ignored Chu Yan's occasional gaze. The system had already return to the system's space.

After a while, Lian Zhinan found out the road they were taking was different from what he remembers.

He looked at Chu Yan anxiously and asked, "Brother Chu, where are we going?"

Chu Yan shifted his eyes to him, "We're going to eat outside tonight."

Hearing this, Lian Zhinan felt stuffy and uncomfortable. What he doesn't like are places with crowded people, and he wasn't close with Chu Yan to suddenly eat with him.

His eyes blinked repeatedly, "B-brother, is grandpa Zhao would be coming as well?"

Straight away, the cold pressure was releases inside the car. Chu Yan unknowingly, cold face seems to be colder right now. The intensity in his eyes was suffocating, as if a beast would come out in a minute. Lian Zhinan back out unconsciously.

"Do you like butler Zhao very much?"

Although, Lian Zhinan had an indifferent personality, he was also an ignorant and naive, a kind that wouldn't notice the threat of the surrounding.

"I like it," He answered honestly.

"Well, too bad. There are only two of us tonight."

Chu Yan strangely didn't explode that he absolutely expected to be. The cold director just leaned back on the passenger seat and his expression was back to normal.

But this is scarier than the transparent anger. It was like the calm before the storm, and Lian Zhinan started to get nervous for real.

Chu Yan and Lian Zhinan were silent on the way to their destination. After a while, they arrived at the fancy restaurant. There are only few people dining inside, and the atmosphere was very elegant. Chu Yan exited first and Lian Zhinan followed behind. They were guided by the male servant.

A man with a superb appearance in suit was definitely eye-catching, but after seeing the boy behind, the onlookers were more attentive. A young man in school uniform with a youthful face was very fresh and foreign, standing beside the mature man, it almost looks like a father and son.

Lian Zhinan was like a sheep surrounded by wolves. There are so many elites and businessmen dining, and their companion were hot celebrities or mature models. He was the only one wearing a uniform! And the dog man seems didn't notice the peculiar gaze thrown at them.

Without ordering, dishes were served constantly. Lian Zhinan looked at the foods swallowing his saliva, albeit, he still maintained the blank face he usually wore. If ignoring his adam's apple protruding, of course.

Chu Yan's face softened, seeing him easily seduced by the foods. He said softly, "You can eat now."

There are so many delicious foods! Lian Zhinan actually found himself being a foodie. He almost lost his image and wanted to dig in to this heaven. But of course, as a dedicated worker, he still prolongs the original expression of the body and slowly ate to his heart's content.

Emptying two plates, he saw that Chu Yan had not yet touched a single plate of foods and was just watching him eating. He was embarrassed and quickly urge him to eat.

"B-brother, you eat too."

Chu Yan replied amusingly, "Yes, yes."

And the two started eating in harmony. But after minutes passed, a waiter whispered in Chu Yan ears while the latter only nodded. Lian Zhinan wanted to ignore them but as he saw the waiter come back, followed by two other waiters, each holding a big briefcase, Lian Zhinan couldn't turn blind eye.

"Is this all new designs?" Chu Yan asked while wiping his lips with tissue.

The male waiter put the briefcase into the table and opened it, "Sir, all of this are new designs."

Lian Zhinan froze, and he were unable to swallow the food inside his mouth while staring at the shiny things. Isn't…. this rings?

Fancy rings with various design. Luxurious and definitely expensive. The male waiters couldn't stop giving him ambiguous stares.

Chu Yan suddenly lifted his eyes to meet his, smiling softly, "Lian Zhinan, pick a ring that you like."

Lian Zhinan's whole body tense and all his body hair stood up. He dropped his utensils and was started to tremble nonstop.

"B-brother Chu, I am full. I want to go home." His eyes were easily reddened by tears. He was enjoying his food a second ago now he was full of grievances.

Chu Yan didn't feel soft from his state. His voice turned firmer, "Lian Zhinan, just pick a ring. What's the crying all about?"

Lian Zhinan cried even more.

If these were regular rings, he wouldn't act like this. But this old hooligan couldn't wait to eat his fill. What is a normal ring? Isn't all this an engagement rings?

Chu Yan… this beast was actually going to turn him into a child bride!

In the end, Lian Zhinan was forced to try all the rings.
