BE Crazy Demon Survival System [Quick Transmigration]Ch54.1 - Is the Young Master Feigning Sickness Today? (4)

The moment the words were said, Xu Qichen felt anxious.

This feeling was comparable to that of awaiting exam results; wanting desperately to know the result, and yet, terrified of knowing it. OSvC3f

If Song Yuanyan were to reject him, how would he complete the secondary task? How would he make him fall in love?

He unconsciously tightened his grip on his clothes.

The pair of eyes that were originally looking at him, turned towards the stage, “I forgot.” He spoke softly, his voice light like a cloud.

Xu Qichen looked at Song Yuanyan and saw him take out a handful of silver coins. With a smile, he placed them in the staff’s hands. “He sang very well. I believe these will be a more practical gift.” Then he retrieved the box and placed it on the table. “Go.” wdgDhN

The staff thanked him profusely before going downstairs.

Xu Qichen felt awkward.

What happens after you ask for a gift impulsively? No one had ever taught him that.

As he was hesitating, the box was pushed towards him.

“I don’t know if it’s good either…” Song Yuanyan also looked awkward, and his ears were red, “Try one, but I don’t know if it will taste good. If you don’t like it, just throw it away.”

Seeing how awkward and anxious he was acting, Xu Qichen immediately felt better. He opened the box and found four rows of chocolates of different shapes and sizes.

“Did this cost a lot?” Xu Qichen picked up one piece as he asked. After all, in this era, chocolate was a rather rare luxury.

Song Yuanyan rubbed his nose. “Not really. Try it.” o8GNTQ

Xu Qichen put that piece of chocolate back into the box and closed it. “I’ll eat it after we get home.” Then he rested his elbows on the box and looked at Song Yuanyan, “Have you calmed down?”

Song Yuanyan coughed, then hurriedly picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup. However, when he tried to drink it, he scalded his tongue, and coughed even more.

Xu Qichen could not help laughing.

“Why are you laughing? Stop it.” gS0ADJ

Xu Qichen, who had been issued an order, obediently shut his mouth with his thumb and index finger.

But his eyes still curved with mirth.

Song Yuanyan looked away.

In his chest, his heart pounded wildly in its cage. 5WGTgV

Xu Qichen tapped the box lightly.

“What are you eating?” He approached the sofa, only to see a half-empty box of chocolates.

That was the first time he got angry at his aunt.

Though, to her, it probably seemed like the unavoidable ‘rebellious phase’. xqmlQK

After the show ended, Song Yuanyan and Xu Qichen went downstairs and made a few polites remarks to the director. Just as they were about to leave, a man in a trench coat and a black felt hat came in with a stove, closely followed by several servants.

Xu Qichen felt like this scene was familiar.

The director said, “Yo, isn’t this young master Liu? Why aren’t you at the company today?”

The man who was addressed as young master Liu paused in his steps, “I just came from the company. I happened to pass by, so I popped in to see what you’re showing today.” Then he glanced at Song Yuanyan, “What a coincidence, little brother Song is here too. You look in good health today.” bFvj4D

As he turned his head, Xu Qichen saw the mole on his right cheek, and realised with a start that this was Old Xie’s grandson, Liu Mingde.

In Xu Qichen’s original setting, he and his mother, Xie Wenqin, would collaborate to get rid of  Sun Lin. This man could be said to be the one with the strongest motive to kill Sun Lin, and hence the prime suspect.

He subconsciously clenched his fists.

Song Yuanyan smiled, “Brother Liu, everything seems to be going smoothly for you lately. Will you invite me over to the Xie residence soon?” A9EzLh

Liu Deming’s expression darkened, “Naturally.” Then he glanced at Xu Qichen, and said disdainfully, “I’ll invite your talisman over as well.” Then he marched past them, bumping into Song Yuanyan’s shoulder as he walked past, inside the theatre.

This man was even more annoying than his setting. Although he was the son of the Xie family’s eldest daughter, he did not have the Xie surname. In the eyes of Old Xie, he would only ever be an ‘outside’ grandson anyway. Unlike Song Yuanyan, the legitimate son of the Song family, who had a noble status and was loved by thousands of people.

Though there was no conflict between the Song and Xie families, as two young masters who were as different as heaven and earth, he had probably long despised Song Yuanyan.

“Are you hungry? Shall we have something to eat before going back?” EwkGR9

Xu Qichen followed beside him and shook his head, “I’m fine.”

Song Yuanyan walked very slowly. Although the streets were still bustling, the temperature of the lantern-lit night dropped by a few degrees. Xu Qichen’s hands felt cold, so he immediately retracted them into his sleeves.

Song Yuanyan suddenly stopped walking. Xu Qichen looked up, only to see him bite the tip of his leather glove and pull it off, and hand it to Xu Qichen.

Xu Qichen shook his head, so Song Yuanyan pulled his hand towards himself and put it on for him. Song Yuanyan’s hands were warm. Where they held his cold wrist, they seemed to awaken his sleeping pulse. When he saw that he was about to remove the other glove, Xu Qichen quickly said, “It wouldn’t be good if the lady sees this when we get back.” vfTlMV

Song Yuanyan paused in the act of removing his glove, “Hmm, you’re right.” Then, he grabbed Xu Qichen’s ungloved hand with his own, and stuffed them both in his coat pocket. With a grin, he said, “It’s fine like this.”

Xu Qichen looked at that sharp tooth and forgot to dodge.

Living with a friend like this for 18 years, how could anyone not fall in love?

This was truly testing his heart. gfrhn1

Outside the threatre Song Yuanyan called a rickshaw. The two sat in it, with Xu Qichen face buried in the thick cashmere scarf, breathing in the smell of the perfume used by Song Yuanyan. The cool wood aroma was mixed with a trace of sharp sour and sweet fruit fragrance.

His fingers were held tightly, and a thin layer of sweat formed between their skin, sticking their skin together like glue.

The trip home felt very short.

When they arrived at the brightly lit Song residence, Xu Qichen took back his hand, took off the leather glove from the other hand and put it in Song Yuanyan’s coat pocket. R2XtqS

A strange feeling arose in his heart.

Even though it was just a glove, it felt like a keepsake from a secret affair.

Mrs. Song was already home. When they entered, she was chatting with Song Liyu, Song Yuanyan’s eldest sister, merrily. It seemed that she had won a lot today.

Song Yuanyan, knowing that his dates had gone badly today, immediately ran up to his mother upon entering and hugged her, “Mother, it’s so cold outside.” BTWbZX

“Aiya, I’m peeling oranges,” Mrs. Song chastised while feeding him the freshly peeled orange.

“It’s very sweet.”

Song Liyu, who was knitting a sweater beside them, said with a smile, “It’s nowhere as sweet as your words.”

But Mrs. Song was not one to be fooled by sweet words. Despite Song Yuanyan’s attempts at distracting her, she soon asked, “How were your dates today? Did you like any of the ladies?” WcMow5

Song Yuanyan quickly straightened up upon hearing this question and coughed twice. With a sigh, he said, “Let’s not talk about it. None of them liked me.” Then he grabbed Mrs. Song’s arm with a wide smile, “Must I marry someone? Can’t I stay by my mother’s side forever?”

Mrs. Song’s immaculately drawn eyebrows trembled in rage, “What are you saying!? What happened!?” She then turned to Xu Qichen, who was standing in a far corner, “Ah Lin, explain!”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Xu Qichen felt a chill run down his back. Just as he was about to answer, Song Yuanyan said, “Why are you putting him on the spot? They just didn’t like me ah. Miss Zhang thought I was too frail; she ran away when I coughed. Miss Lin stood at the door, took one look at me, and decided that we were unsuitable. I did not even get the chance to talk to her!” Song Yuanyan picked up an orange and played around with it. “Maybe she thought I was overly good-looking.”

Xu Qichen could not help laughing out loud. He was truly talking nonsense with such a serious face. wPu8 n

Mrs. Song sight, “Then… what about Miss He?”

Song Yuanyan glanced at her and put the orange in her hand, “Don’t mention her. At first glance, I thought she was a young man.” He gestured at his neck, “Mother, you should have seen, her hair was this short, and she came in a horse-riding gear, and her temper was so terrible! Thankfully, she didn’t have a horse whip in her hand.”

Then he glared at Mrs. Song, “Why would you choose a wife like that for me? Did you think my tastes run that way? Then you should have just chosen a man!”

Mrs. Song frowned, “Stop talking nonsense! Ah Lin!” 7HPkBO

Xu Qichen took two steps forward, “Milady, the young master… speaks the truth. Miss He is indeed very different from the usual young ladies.”

Mrs. Song did not speak for a moment.

“Mother, I’m still young, why are you in such a hurry to marry me off?” He draped himself over Mrs. Song’s shoulder, “Aren’t you afraid I would forget about you after marrying someone?”

Song Liyu also spoke up, smiling, “Nowadays, the children are all interested in dating freely and marrying for love. Marriage is not something that can be settled by the first or second meeting. Maybe you can find another chance to meet and drink coffee, and get more familiar with each other?” JCws3i

Mrs. Song seemed to be convinced and relaxed somewhat. She sent Song Yuanyan back to his room.

“The elder young master is home.”

Xu Qichen glanced at the door. The elder young master Song, Song Yuanfeng, came in, wearing a dark suit. His features were very gentle and kind, with introverted single-lidded eyes. There was not the slightest similarity with the outspoken Song Yuanyan.

“Mother, big sister.” N19hld

Mrs. Song only replied him with a hum, before going upstairs. On the other hand, Song Liyu greeted him cheerfully.

Glancing at Song Yuanfeng’s profile, Xu Qichen recalled the plot.

This man seems submissive and gentle, but in actuality, he was rather cunning. On the surface, he was modest and seemed concerned about the beloved Song Yuanyan, when in fact, he had long harboured a grudge against him.

Song Yuanfeng finished greeting their sister and made to return to his room. As he past by Xu Qichen, he paused and gave him a concerned smile, “Ah Lin, has your right leg been hurting recently?” QFBewb

Xu Qichen’s back was covered in a layer of cold sweat, but he forced a smile, “It’s been fine recently.”

Song Yuanfeng patted his shoulder lightly, “That’s good. A friend of mine just came back from studying medicine in England. I’ll ask him over in a day or two to take a look at you.”

Xu Qichen nodded, hiding his eyes, “Thank you, elder young master.”

“Don’t be so polite, we’re all a family.” uczdto

His voice was as warm as the spring breeze in March, but it felt like falling into an ice cave to Xu Qichen.

Phantom pains plagued his right leg.

Others might not know, but as the author, Xu Qichen knew this more clearly than anyone else: The cause of his leg being like this, was the gentle and kind young master in front of him.

Xu Qichen slowly went towards the back of the house and returned to his room. yJYpHt

This world was more complex than he had imagined. Everyone was working towards their own interests, and he was only one of the chess pieces. In order to turn the tables, he must not make a single mistake.

  1. AAAA it’s getting really interesting I can’t wait to see what XQC will do~

    Thank you for the chapter!

  2. This sun lin doesn’t even seem like a main character. Author (xu qichen) what kind of danmei were you writing? Shou abuse kind of thing? Just abuse no counterattack just left to die in the end so ruthless.

    • it really makes me very curious to read the originals. despite being danmei most of them dont even sound to have fallen in love, I wonder what the appeal was? was everyone hoping the new pair would get together and making bets on how far it would get before ending tragically?? haha it really is very interesting to think about
