Thank you San Xiaojie again for the kofi đź’• Faster updates will come...I promise. Just need a liiiiiitle more time.

After realizing what he had just done, Yun Yi simply wanted to chop off his own hand! Although typically, he was ostentatiously domineering to outsiders, towards the brothers he had sincerely recognized, he was extremely accommodating and cared about them a lot. This was also why Yue Minghe had been able to stay healthy and lively despite lusting after Yun Yi’s woman. If it was anyone else, this vicious and cruel mafia crown prince would kill them in a second.

"S-sorry, sorry! Ah Ning, are you OK?! It’s my fault. It was a conditioned reflex from my training. When I saw that something was going to bump into me, I reflexively wanted to block it. It really wasn’t on purpose!" Yun Yi watched as his good friend slowly patted his dishevelled clothes, his always flirty and affectionate smile slightly rigid. He simply did not know what he should do.

Sui Yuan raised his eyes to look at the male lead, who was staring at him with frantic eyes, bewildered like a silly dog, without a trace of his previous flashy, domineering aura. He grinned and gave him two words, "Ha. Ha."

"Ah Ning, don’t be like this! QAQ" Yun Yi nearly wanted to kneel! Usually, he would not lower himself so quickly, but unbeknownst to him, the moment he saw his family’s good friend get angry, his first subconscious reaction was to apologize. He absolutely had to coax the other until he was happy again before he could heave a sigh of relief.

The female lead who had been completely ignored: ".............................."

"Pfft. OK, la. Ah Ning wouldn’t get angry over such a trivial matter like having books smashing into him. Ah Yi, you’re really being too nervous," Yue Minghe couldn’t help but chuckle as he mediated.

"Right, I wouldn’t get angry over getting smashed into with books. What I’m angry about is unexpectedly being dragged out by my good brother to act as his shield," Sui Yuan snorted, tone discontent.

Yun Yi: "...It was really just a conditioned reflex, ah! QAQ"

"A conditioned reflex of pulling your own people in front of you as your shield?" Sui Yuan side-eyed Yun Yi, arms crossed, "Don’t you think that’s even more repulsive?"

"No...I was just casually pulling at some random thing..." Yun Yi tried to explain, struggling at the end of his rope.

"Heh, so it turns out that I’m just some random thing to you?" Sui Yuan raised his brow.

Yun Yi, who was left speechless because of how difficult his good friend was being, shifted his eyes and naturally took out his anger on the main offender, "Even if I’m in the wrong, the one who brought about all of this is her!" Seeming to have found something to shift their attention to, Yun Yi angrily glared at the female lead and figuratively rolled up his sleeves, "Say! Shouldn’t you apologize and compensate Ah Ning for injuring him?!"

The female lead who was suddenly mentioned was extremely frightened and she stammered her apology, "S-sorry. It’s me who was in a rush and was not being careful of where I was going...."

"If apologizing was useful, then why would we need police officers?!" Yun Yi obviously didn’t plan on releasing the anguished female lead. Only, before he could continue to intensify his act of making trouble over nothing, he was interrupted by Yue Minghe, "Leave it, ba. Is there really no problem with you, a mafia crown prince, repeatedly mentioning police officers? Besides, the one who was bumped into was Ah Ning. Ah Ning himself hasn’t declared his position, so why are you talking on his behalf?"

Sui Yuan glanced at Yue Minghe, rather flabbergasted. The implicit meaning behind the supporting male lead’s words was to help the female lead escape. Could it be that he had already developed quite a bit of goodwill towards her? Sui Yuan thought back but could not, just when the supporting male lead had fallen in love with the female lead in the plot. He had no choice but to temporarily label it as ’love at first sight’ for now.

Although Yun Yi gazed at Yue Minghe in dissatisfaction, he still had no choice but to admit that he was right. He turned his head to look at Sui Yuan. In an effort to curry favour, Yun Yi handed over the authority to make a decision over to his good friend, "Then, how does Ah Ning think this matter should be solved?"

How could this be solved? Sui Yuan rolled his eyes. His character settings was that of a playboy’s. Towards all girls—from eight to eighty years old—he was refined and courteous. Unless he wanted to OOC, he had no other choice, "The one I’m angry at is Ah Yi, not this young lady! How do you think I want to settle this?" Sui Yuan replied to Yun Yi in an unhappy tone, then turned towards the female lead, smiling politely, "Next time, be a bit more careful, least you end up doing such a rude thing again."

"Y-yes, I understand. I am truly very sorry!" The female lead couldn’t help but blush. She suddenly bowed at a ninety degree angle towards Sui Yuan, her grateful voice laced with an imperceptible tremble from her nervousness.

Upon receiving the female lead’s apology, Sui Yuan turned to look at Yun Yi, "Then, do you have any objections?"

——Say that you do! Quickly, say that you do!

However, Yun Yi was destined to be unable to hear Sui Yuan’s true voice. He was no longer the ’victim’ who could act unreasonable and difficult, and create all sorts of difficulties for the female lead while believing himself to be in the right. The present Yun Yi had become one of the chief offenders, so how on earth would he dare refute or deny Sui Yuan? So long as he could cool his good friend’s temper, he would never dare to head west if Sui Yuan wanted him to head east. Thus, Yun Yi naturally shook his head repeatedly, "No, no. Ah Ning’s way of handling this is really good. I don’t have any objections!"

Sui Yuan:"........................"

What happened to the promised chemistry between the male and female leads on their first meeting! What happened to ’I bully you then you bully me’, resulting in the female lead succumbing to Stockholm syndrome because of the male lead’s abusive love and the male lead being attracted by the female lead’s resolute and willful nature that refuses to submit, ne?!

Hehe, towards his ability to cause the plot to crumble as soon as he gets involved...he was already completely used to it...as if! It’d be strange if he was!

——Sui Yuan’s heart felt incomparably weary.

Seeing that the issue had been perfectly settled, Yue Minghe smiled. He crouched down to take the initiative to help the female lead collect the exercise books that were scattered on the floor. Meanwhile, Sui Yuan’s character had always boasted of being a gentleman, so he naturally followed along in helping. Yun Yi stood by himself for a moment, conflicted. In the end, he also squatted down albeit reluctantly. After all, he was also a ’guilty’ one. He needed to properly fight for a merciful ruling—wasn’t it just picking up an exercise book anyway? There was no pressure at all!

With the three people’s aid, the exercise books were swiftly piled up once more. The female lead picked up the exercise books, trembling, and looked with gratitude at Sui Yuan who had helped her up.

Sui Yuan seemed to be able to read the thoughts of the female lead at this time through her limpid and pure eyes: "They all say that the three young masters of the school are tyrannical and indifferent. Actually, the rumours cannot be trusted. They are all good people, ah~"

Sui Yuan: ...Hehe.

While he was watching the female leave with the exercise books in her arms with his own heart crushed, Sui Yuan had yet to have time to hold a silent tribute to the plot that had dispersed like smoke, when he was dragged by Yun Yi into the classroom. What was worth rejoicing over was that this aristocratic school was not at all alike to what 5237 had shown him. There was no homework or tests. Even the attendance rate varied from person to person. For example, the students with the highest statuses like Sui Yuan, Yun Yi could still smoothly move on to the next grade and even graduate without even attending a single day of class.

Towards this kind of setting, Sui Yuan felt dizzy. Only, even if this world did not require him to do well, Sui Yuan still went with 5237’s suggestion to find some time in his schedule to learn a bit with regards to this ’school curriculum’, so that he wouldn’t be confused if future worlds required him to know about it.

Sui Yuan dedicated the energy that the original character originally used to chase after girls to studying. Coupled with the memory faculty his Creator had bestowed him, Sui Yuan naturally advanced quickly. At the same time, he did not forget to pay attention to the changes in the world.

The internet in this world was extremely developed. Even without taking a step outside of one’s home, one could know everything about it. Meanwhile, although 5237 had always played the role of an Actor’s pig teammate, it was still a high-end system. Playing around on this world’s interweb posed absolutely no issue. Sui Yuan spent quite a few points to buy a program that would monitor the entire web. This way, if any new powers abruptly rose, he would be immediately notified and could deal with it in time.

As for Zhao Xihe’s developments on his side, it seemed to be going well. Each time information came over, it was always good news. Although he did not show his face, he still made his existence known before his lover. It was just that he always guarded his mouth like a closed bottle when it came to his own identity.

After several questioning sessions yielded nothing, Sui Yuan directly tossed it to the side. In any case, it didn’t matter what character he became. Zhao Xihe would always be Zhao Xihe.

A beautiful person would soon become a pile of withered bones. No one understood this reasoning as well as he did. Sui Yuan basically did not care how beautiful or ugly someone was on the outside. Thus, he did not understand why Zhao Xihe was dissatisfied with his own outer appearance to the point of being unwilling to appear before him.

Towards this, 5237’s response was ’you’re insensitive’. Striving for perfection and wishing to appear at their own finest before one’s own lover was common sense. It was only dim-witted fellows like Sui Yuan who did not understand the conflict in a young girl’s (?) heart.

"...In any case, he can’t avoid me forever," Sui Yuan stammered for a while before he retorted with a bit of discontentment, "Sooner or later, there will be a day I see him. Isn’t it better to just get it over with?"

5237: "...If Zhao Xihe daren heard what you just said, he would definitely cry. ╮(╯▽╰)╭"

After Sui Yuan was done putting everything to order, he was pulled out by the male lead to go somewhere at night, fulfilling their earlier appointment. The goal of their night out was mountain road racing. This was probably the safest of the games out of Yun Yi’s repertoire. It was a normal sport, although after each bout of road racing, there would always be one or two fellows whose skills weren’t good enough, or their luck was just too bad, who would get hurt and have to be hospitalized.

When Sui Yuan arrived at the agreed upon location in his car, he saw Yue Minghe quietly standing there on his own, entirely different from the surrounding ’bad children’. He stood out, like a light in the dark night. Sui Yuan got out of his car and walked to Yue Minghe’s side. The two exchanged glances and both could not help but show bitter smiles.

If it wasn’t because of Yun Yi’s intense begging, they would not have ran over here in the middle of the night to race. As soon as they got here, they could feel how out of place they were. Their style was completely different!

Fortunately, they two people did not wait long. They saw Yun Yi’s familiar motorcycle approach. What made them surprised was that after the motorcycle stopped, Yun Yi turned around and pulled an incessantly struggling girl off!

"Let me go! You b*stard! Egomaniac!" The girl angrily shouted, like a kitten with its fur all puffed out, itching to scratch the other person’s handsome face. Meanwhile, Yun Yi did not have the slightest intention of letting go and walked over to Sui Yuan and Yue Minghe.

The girl stumbled as she was pulled along, cutting an especially sorry picture. When she met with Sui Yuan’s stunned gaze, her body immediately stiffened and her whole face flushed red.

"Ah Yi, this is...?" Yue Minghe asked.

"This girl offended me! It was just right that I was missing a girl sitting behind me tonight, so I directly pulled her over here!" Yun Yi said casually, fiercely glaring at the girl who had lowered her head, feeling ill-at-ease, "This girl is simply clumsy. Before, it wasn’t enough that she bumped into Ah Ning, but she also unexpectedly poured her drink on top of me!"

"I-it wasn’t on purpose...someone tripped me..." The girl simply wanted to cry. She occasionally glanced at Sui Yuan and explained anxiously, as if she was afraid of leaving a bad impression.

Sui Yuan fell silent, speechless. On one side, he was happy that the male lead and female lead had an unbreakable chain of fate between them and had ended up back on the original plot after running around in circles. On the other hand, he felt greatly pressured being stared at like that by the other. My beloved female lead little sister, the first love of yours ordained by the plot is the one called Yue Minghe who is standing beside me! Don’t always look at me, ah! QAQ

Although he was ignored by the female lead, as a supporting male lead, Yue Minghe was still resolute in rising to the challenge. He smiled, comforting the female lead, "Don’t worry. Ah Yi’s motorcycle piloting technique is very good. You won’t be in any danger."

"That’s right, ah!" The corner of Sui Yuan’s mouth rose, and his ambiguous gaze flickered between the male and female lead, implying something, "The seat behind Ah Yi is not somewhere just any girl can sit. This young lady is really fortunate, to unexpectedly gain Ah Yi’s attention."

"Don’t speak nonsense!" Yun Yi glared at Sui Yuan, raising his fist menacingly, "I’m not interested in that ugly girl at all!"

As for the female lead, she was even more eager to cry out—That’s right! I’m not acquainted with this tyrannical gorilla at all! Male god, please don’t misunderstand! Male god, please don’t fool around! QAQ

Regardless of how the male and female leads tried to explain things, Sui Yuan still firmly believed that there was still something fishy going on between the two of them. Yue Minghe, who was watching on the side, felt especially helpless and could not help but interrupt, "I see that the others are also riding motorcycles. Is it a motorcycle race today?"

"En, that’s right." Yun Yi immediately shifted his attention, "Only, I know you two don’t dabble in that, so I helped prepare something for you guys in advance!"

While speaking, Yun Yi’s subordinates brought some motorcycles over. Although Sui Yuan did not really understand this kind of vehicle, he could rely on his sight that had been honed in the mecha world and could discern that they were high quality goods.

Yun Yi dragged the girl over to the motorcycle he normally used. He then raised his chin to the remaining two people, "You guys discuss between yourselves and then choose, ba!"

Sui Yuan hesitated and then chose one that he felt was comparatively eye-catching. Meanwhile, Yue Minghe helplessly released a bitter smile, "You’re making things difficult for me, Ah Yi. I’ve never touched a motorcycle and have also rarely participated in street racing. A motorcycle really won’t do."

Yun Yi had obviously not thought of this point. For a minute, he was stunned, "Then what should we do?!"

Yue Minghe pondered over it for a while, "Since you can take someone in the seat behind you, then I’ll ride in Ah Ning’s back seat. This way, I can enjoy that fast thrill you’ve been talking about. This is the best of both worlds."

This was indeed that best solution. Yun Yi could not leave behind his friends who he had invited to play around happily on his own. So, he cast a questioning gaze towards Sui Yuan.

Naturally, Sui Yuan could not refuse. He shrugged his shoulders, "I have no objections. Only, my skills are limited to ’can ride a motorcycle’, that’s all. I can take you for a spin, but don’t think of anything more."

"That’s enough," Yue Minghe smiled lightly, nodding. He then confidently sat on the seat behind Sui Yuan and wrapped his arms around his waist.

Sui Yuan twisted his waist rather unnaturally. He was really not used to being so close to ’strangers’. Only, he very quickly buckled down and threw his conflicted feelings away. He turned his head to glance at Yun Yi and the female lead and was gratified to find out that, although the two of them were awkward and thought the other was displeasing, they still smoothly prepared for the competition.

Putting on the helmet, knee pads, and gloves, Sui Yuan and the others lined up together. Then, following the sound signalling the start, they all released the brakes at the same time.

Although Sui Yuan had never experienced a motorcycle competition before, he had trained his discerning eyesight, willpower, and reaction speed in the mecha world. It was enough to place him above these young masters that only rode them in their spare time. It was just a pity that because of his character settings, he did not intend to win. He truly only strived to ’go out for a spin’.

However, although Sui Yuan thought what he was doing was merely going out for a spin, actually, the speed of the motorcycle could not be considered slow. He could even easily and skillfully keep up with the majority of the other guys, placing him right in the middle.

As the mood got increasingly hotter, their velocity also got higher. Sui Yuan followed along, gradually increasing his speed. Meanwhile, the grip of Yue Minghe’s arms around him clenched around his middle all the more tightly.

Sui Yuan could sense that there was nearly no space between Yue Minghe’s chest and his own back. Through their clothes, he could feel the other’s heat and rhythmical heart beat. Yue Minghe’s head leaned closer and closer to Sui Yuan, until it directly fell onto his shoulder in the end.

Sui Yuan felt that this posture and distance was really fishy. Only, in his peripheral vision, he could see that the female companions sitting in the rear seat of the other guys had a similar position, so he temporarily threw this baffling feeling to one side, treating it as a subconscious self-defensive mechanism of the human body when traversing through high speeds.

——Sui Yuan evidently forgot a point. The people sitting in the rear seats of the surrounding young masters were female friends or lovers. Meanwhile, the one sitting behind him was his friend. [lights candle]
