Chapter 19 - Arc 1(17)

At the height of noon, the sun painted the sky in vibrant hues, and Yu Xin gradually roused from slumber, feeling a lingering soreness in his waist from their passionate night. He let out a soft gasp as he stretched, the memory of their intimate moments still fresh in his mind. Determined to shake off the drowsiness, he made his way downstairs, only to be greeted by Dad Feng's playful smiles. His cheeks flushed with embarrassment, a mix of shyness and delight filling his heart.

Without missing a beat, Feng Li, ever the devoted partner, swiftly approached Yu Xin, extending his gentle support as he helped him settle into a seat at the dining table. With a tender smile, he served Yu Xin a comforting breakfast, making sure his beloved felt cared for and cherished.

At 3:00 pm, the couple set off for Yu Xin's apartment, their hands intertwined, and their love emanating like a radiant aura around them. Upon reaching the destination, they exchanged affectionate goodbyes, their hearts already yearning for their next reunion.

As time flew by, the days seemed to blur together, and before they knew it, it was merely one month away from their much-awaited official engagement. To commemorate this special time, Yu Xin expressed a wish to visit the shopping mall, and Feng Li readily obliged, eager to fulfill his beloved's desires.

Stepping into the bustling mall, they were greeted with a symphony of vibrant sights and sounds. Yu Xin's eyes sparkled with excitement, and he set off in another direction, drawn to something that had caught his attention. Feng Li followed closely behind, his eyes never leaving Yu Xin, admiring his enthusiasm.

Yu Xin's destination led him straight to a familiar face, another Omega he had met three weeks prior during a shopping outing with Yang Xi. Their friendship had blossomed since then, and they had discovered a shared joy in each other's company. The happiness in their laughter filled the air as they embarked on their little adventure, cherishing the camaraderie that came naturally to them.

Unbeknownst to Yu Xin, the other Omega, Ming Ye, had been eagerly awaiting Feng Li and Yu Xin's arrival for over 30 minutes, hoping for a chance encounter. As he caught sight of them, he couldn't help but feel a mix of nervousness and excitement.

"Hey, system, how do I look?" Ming Ye inquired, seeking reassurance.

The playful AI system responded with a hint of humor, "Sorry, host, but you look like a normal human being to me."

Amidst their playful bickering, Ming Ye's attention was suddenly drawn to the sound of his name being called. He turned to find Yu Xin rushing towards him, with Feng Li close on his heels, a warm smile on his face.

"Ming Ye!"

"Ming Ye, you're here for shopping too?" Yu Xin asked with delight, glad to have run into his new friend.

"Yes!" Ming Ye replied, his eyes lighting up with excitement at the unexpected reunion.

With a hint of shyness, Yu Xin introduced Ming Ye to Feng Li, his blush deepening as he turned toward his fiancé. "Feng Li, meet my new friend, Ming Ye, and Ming Ye, meet my Fiancé, Feng Li," he said, the affection in his voice palpable.

Feng Li extended a courteous greeting, saying, "Hello," not wanting to ignore Yu Xin's newfound friendship and understanding how much it meant to him. Yet, even as he exchanged pleasantries, his ever-vigilant system called out to him with an urgent message.

('Master')

("What's the matter?"), Feng Li responded internally.

('This person called Ming Ye also has a system, I can feel it), the system alerted him.

("What type of system does he have?"), Feng Li inquired, curious about the nature of Ming Ye's AI companion.

(' I don't know, but he has a system'), the system replied.

Feng Li's protective instincts kicked in, and he wanted to ensure that Ming Ye's system wouldn't pose any threat to Yu Xin. ("Can he also feel you?"), Feng Li questioned, concerned about the possibility of Ming Ye's system harming Yu Xin.

('No, master, he can't because I'm a high-level system'), the system reassured him.

Feng Li felt relieved by the response, knowing that his advanced AI system would be able to handle any potential challenges. ("It's fine then, as long as he doesn't hurt my baby") Feng Li concluded, his primary focus on safeguarding Yu Xin's happiness and well-being.

The lively chatter continued as Yu Xin and Ming Ye engaged in animated conversation, their laughter harmonizing with the joyful ambiance of the shopping mall. Amidst the sea of bustling shoppers, Yu Xin's gaze occasionally shifted towards Feng Li, a longing hidden behind his moist eyes. Sensing his beloved's unspoken desire, Yu Xin finally mustered the courage to voice his heart's wish.

"Feng Li, can Ming Ye come with us?" Yu Xin asked, his voice tinged with vulnerability and hopefulness.

Feng Li found it hard to meet Yu Xin's gaze, his heart wavering under the weight of those pleading eyes. With his ears flushed crimson, he managed to answer, trying to maintain a composed expression, "Yes."

A wave of gratitude and affection washed over Yu Xin as he beamed at Feng Li, feeling deeply cherished by his understanding and willingness to include Ming Ye. The trio continued their journey, walking together with Yu Xin in the middle, a symbol of the bond that now extended beyond just him and Feng Li.

They ventured from one store to another, purchasing everything Yu Xin desired, each moment filled with laughter, excitement, and the joy of shared experiences. With every step, their connection grew stronger, forming an inseparable bond between the three friends.

The bustling mall was adorned with bright displays and vibrant colors, mirroring the vibrancy of their spirits. As the sun dipped lower in the sky, casting a warm glow over their surroundings, Yu Xin's sweet tooth called for a delectable treat - ice cream.

"Feng Li, I want to eat Choco chips ice cream," Yu Xin playfully requested, his eyes shining with endearment as he addressed his fiancé.

Without hesitation, Feng Li responded with gentleness and devotion, "I'll go get it for you."

Feeling at ease in each other's company, Yu Xin turned to Ming Ye and asked, "Ming Ye, do you want to eat ice cream too?"

Ming Ye's cheeks flushed with a mixture of excitement and shyness as he replied, "Um... Yes, can I get black currant ice cream?"

Yu Xin's warm smile enveloped Ming Ye with reassurance, and he looked towards Feng Li for approval. Feng Li nodded with a kind smile, his heart brimming with affection for his beloved and his new friend.

"Hmm, Yu Xin, sit down on the bench and wait for me," Feng Li said, the softness in his voice reflecting the love he held for Yu Xin. With that, he left to fulfill their sweet cravings.

As Feng Li walked away to fetch the ice cream, Yu Xin and Ming Ye continued their conversation. Eager to share his happiness with his newfound friend, Yu Xin spoke animatedly about his relationship with Feng Li, recounting the sweet moments they had shared. However, as the conversation progressed, Ming Ye's interest in Feng Li seemed to intensify, and he began asking more probing questions, delving into intimate details that made Yu Xin feel uneasy.

Sensing Yu Xin's discomfort, Feng Li returned with the ice cream, and his keen eyes immediately noticed the change in Yu Xin's demeanor. He quickened his pace, concern etched on his face, as he approached the two.

Setting the ice cream on the bench, Feng Li gently cupped Yu Xin's face in his hands, softly turning it towards him. With a voice filled with tenderness, he asked, "Baby, what's the matter? Are you not feeling well?"

Feeling the warmth of Feng Li's hands and the reassurance in his voice, Yu Xin found solace, his unease dissipating. He mustered a faint smile and replied, "Feng Li, I wanna go home," his fingers clutching at the fabric of Feng Li's T-shirt.

Feng Li's primary concern was always Yu Xin's well-being, and he responded without hesitation, "Okay, let's go home." Gently taking all the shopping bags in one hand, he handed Yu Xin his ice cream with the other, ensuring that his beloved felt comforted and cared for.

With a soft farewell to Ming Ye, Yu Xin and Feng Li made their way to the parking space, hand in hand. Once inside the car, Feng Li settled into the driver's seat, making sure Yu Xin was comfortable before they set off.

As Yu Xin settled into the co-drivers seat, he felt a whirlwind of emotions overwhelming him. His eyes welled up with tears, reflecting the depth of his love for Feng Li. He cherished their relationship more than anything else, but at the same time, he couldn't help but carry a heavy burden of fear and uncertainty.

In this intricate web of emotions, Yu Xin was acutely aware that most people who approached Feng Li had ulterior motives. They either sought to exploit him for personal gains, be it by seducing him or seeking investments and profits. Such intentions left Yu Xin feeling vulnerable, as he feared for Feng Li's safety and well-being.

Although he knew that Feng Li loved him sincerely, the haunting specter of the novel he found himself entwined in added to his anxiety. He was now a character named Yu Xin, who had transmigrated into the world of "Make You Mine." The weight of this knowledge pressed on his heart, making him apprehensive about the future.

In the novel, Feng Li was portrayed as a villain, and Yu Xin couldn't shake off the lingering fear that history might repeat itself. He wanted to protect the love they shared, but the shadows of the narrative loomed over him, threatening their happiness.
