As the Minor Gay Love Rival in Het NovelsChapter 2.9

edited by juurensha and karasunofight

Fan Yuan thought he was definitely dreaming, or how the heck else would he be hearing the male lead-daren say, “In that case, let’s try dating then, shall we?” ywmGLn

He had forcibly kissed (?) the male lead, shouldn’t he be ferociously beaten to the point of being sprawled on the ground by now?! Okay, so he was already sprawled on the ground, but there abso-f*cking-lutely was a problem with the male lead’s lines, okay?!  What about his firing?! What about the male lead’s heartless severing of their relationship?! What about Fang Xu saying he never wants to see him ever again?!

Don’t tell him he had bent another male lead, he seriously didn’t want to hear that!!

Chrysanthemum Garden.

He stupidly locked eyes with the male lead, in his head shouting out, “Xiao Wu, I seem to be a little drunk! Help me exchange for some medicine that’ll sober me up……”

Xiao Wu was silent for a little while and finally slowly said, “Ding. Xiao Wu thinks it’s better for Master to not sober up for the time being.” Ybxwzn

He wanted to ask why, but in the next second, he was scooped up by the male lead in an extremely archetypical princess carry!

#My mind went completely blank when the male lead-daren embraced me in his hold#

#The scene is too beautiful, I dare not look#

#This dream seems so real, I’m a little freaked out#

“Fang Xu……What are you doing?”

The male lead-daren’s face was virtuous as he answered, “The ground is chilly. If you lie there too long, you’ll catch a cold.”

Fan Yuan had suffered a round of torment. His already very dizzy head was getting more and more painful. He confusedly thought that Fang Xu’s words seemed to have some merit and nodded his head. “Thank you.”

Xiao Wu: “…………” It simply could not bear to look at this pitiful scene. jWVgG6

Fang Xu’s lips slightly curved up, a gentle light emerging from the depths of his deep black eyes. His voice gentle, he replied, “You’re welcome.”

Fan Yuan was carried by Fang Xu into his room. The air in the bedroom was very warm. Having been frozen for a night, Fan Yuan was seriously exhausted and gradually entered a deep sleep.

Later, he faintly seemed to hear Xiao Wu calling him, but he didn’t feel like heeding it. Afterwards, annoyed at being disturbed, he just directly muted it and stubbornly continued his mission of sleeping.

At the crack of dawn, a ray of early morning light shone through a gap in the curtains, dazzling Fan Yuan with its brightness. He wanted to reach out his hand to cover his eyes, but his arm was imprisoned and wouldn’t budge. Puzzled, he opened his eyes. Right in front of him was a strong, sculpted chest. Its beautiful, well-proportioned lines of muscle proved a slight distraction, but in the very next moment, it was as if his brain had been fried.

He had shared a bed with the male lead yesterday!!!

He only vaguely remembered himself being lifted into the male lead’s embrace and brought into his room. After that, it was as if he had blacked out. He couldn’t remember anything. Sure enough, a hangover wasn’t anything good. It was evil!

“Wljb Qe! Wljb Qe! Qtja’r atlr jii jybea?!” cpEdFw

After calling it for a long time to no avail, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have shut Xiao Wu in a dark little room last night……

“Ding……”

“What the hell is going on, Xiao Wu? Please say something, I beg you /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~”

“Ding. Master was brought into the bathroom by the male lead. The male lead stripped Master naked, and then……” Jh5dLQ

Fan Yuan couldn’t bear to hear any more and indignantly interrupted it. “F*ck! Fang Xu, that beast! That brute! I took him as a straight guy, but he wanted to do me! Xiao Wu, did you seriously watch unfeelingly as my innocence was snatched away QAQ”

Xiao Wu: “…………” Suddenly it didn’t feel so bad for him.

Fan Yuan felt a little guilty. No one had told him that foreign liquor would be even more potent than Shao Daozi. He pounded back that entire bottle and got drunk off his ass. Where did he have room to care about the plot?? All he wanted to do was to hole up and take a long rest. Who could have predicted that someone would take advantage of his lapse in judgement? He wanted to run Fang Xu over with his car and just be done with it!

“Ding. Master, please calm down first. Yesterday when Xiao Wu was locked in the dark by Master, Xiao Wu saw Fang Xu was helping Master wash himself. He didn’t take any liberties, so……” W8dn40

It trailed off, but Fan Yuan understood what it was trying to say.

“Wash me……” Fan Yuan thought the odds of him being beyond help were pretty good. What would he accomplish by helping him get clean? Of course that was just an appetizer!

Poor Fan Yuan had carried out his assignments for many years. He still hadn’t even found a girl to properly fall in love with before he was topped by a man—and that guy was the main offender causing him to fail his mission!

He angrily stared at the man in front of him. He had every intention of taking down Fang Xu with him. IGm2k4

Xiao Wu hurriedly pacified him. “Ding. Although this section of the plot warped a bit at the end, the plot as a whole is still normal. As long as Master is able to resign without a hitch and trigger the female love rival to advance the next plot points, the completion rate of this assignment will at least reach 80 percent. Master’s mission is to complete the original host’s plotline and ensure that he stays in character. As for whether the male lead is bent or straight, the potential collapse of the main plot isn’t Master’s responsibility.”

Fan Yuan immediately bristled. “Not my responsibility? Is that not why the entirety of my reward energy was all taken away in the previous world?!”

“Ding. Last time, it was because of Master that the plot crumbled, so that’s why Master had to take most of the responsibility. This time is different. Master didn’t interfere with this world, so the male lead becoming bent and not following the plot isn’t something which Master needs to take responsibility for.”

Fan Yuan was silent for a good while and at last faintly said, “You said it. Don’t break your promise, okay.” zrFQVq

Xiao Wu: “……Okay.”

Having received a guarantee, Fan Yuan came back to life. This body wasn’t his after all. Although he would still be borrowing it for the next twenty years or so, he was also a man. There was no way to deal with this kind of thing……Such a thing as chastity, if he lost it, he lost it, I guess QAQ

Fan Yuan struggled to get free and pulled out of Fang Xu’s embrace only to be drawn in even more tightly. He heard only Fang Xu mumbling, “Be quiet. You got me dog-tired last night.”

Fan Yuan: “!!!” This asshole dares bring up yesterday night? Where’s his sense of shame?! 6rYdqA

Fan Yuan wanted to cry, yet had no tears. Unfortunately, his fighting ability was too low and he could only protest in a small voice, “Let me go, I want to go to the bathroom.”

Fang Xu finally opened his eyes to look at Fan Yuan. A keen brilliance flashed in his dark eyes, not at all looking as if he had just woken up. “You’re not thinking of running away, are you?”

Fan Yuan was shocked. This guy was really too sharp. He was just thinking that.

It was as if Fang Xu had read his mind. He grasped his chin and, voice extremely cold, said, “Your actions toward me yesterday went too far. If you dare run away,  I will leave no stone unturned and will definitely find you.” jG6 R9

Fan Yuan ((⊙_⊙)): Excuse me???

Who was the one going too far here?! Running around chasing (and catching!) tail yet still playing the role of the victim. Seriously so freaking shameless!

But Fan Yuan knew very well that there was abso-f*cking-lutely no use in reasoning with him. He could only swallow his anger and say,  “I won’t run away.”

At this, Fang Xu finally released his chin. Patting his fair, tender cheek, he smiled gently. “Finally listening to me. Remember to make some congee later.” zrNT6E

Fan Yuan nodded. Seeing Fang Xu loosening his iron grip, Fan Yuan immediately jumped out of his arms, sprinted into the bathroom, and locked it carefully.

Fang Xu looked at the tightly closed door, and the corners of his mouth twitched with a glimpse of a helpless smile.

Fan Yuan was only able to feel relieved when he confirmed that the door couldn’t be broken down through sheer strength. He suddenly felt that something seemed wrong. He took a few more steps and realized that a certain part of himself felt fine. What did that mean? Was the male lead a pencil? No, of course that must be impossible. For a male lead, no matter whether it was hardware or software, they were both absolute luxury standard editions, so there was only one possibility—Fan Yuan had not been you know’d last night.

Fan Yuan said in happy surprise, “Xiao Wu, I really hadn’t expected that douche would be so unexpectedly gentlemanly, ya know. I seem to have judged him unfairly.”

As Fan Yuan spoke, he faced the mirror and peeled off his clothes. He wore Fang Xu’s shirt. He was about 3 inches shorter than Fang Xu and his frame was also a lot smaller, so the clothing was very loose and he was easily able to lift it up.

……………… 1YkOlz

Fan Yuan looked at the red love bites spread all across his originally flawless and delicate skin. The cherry-red nipples on his chest were very swollen and blood was pooling in them. His jaw almost dropped in shock, and he hurriedly looked at his back. He couldn’t see it at first. He was so angry that he almost exploded in a stream of curse words. Even if he was dumped into a grassland in the middle of summer, the mosquitoes wouldn’t bite him into such a state. He seriously couldn’t find one patch of unblemished skin; it was all densely-packed hickeys!

He immediately threw Xiao Wu into the dark little room and took off his pants to check that area. Luckily, it looked normal. It was just that his inner thighs, calves, and well-proportioned little white buttcheeks were all changed beyond recognition.

Lastly, he spotted his tender white toes that had obviously been bitten and nibbled on. Fan Yuan was finally horrified beyond all words. He mumbled, spitting out a single word. “Pervert……”

************************* K5OmUd

He stayed in the bathroom just zoning out for a long time. He did not dare to go out no matter what, up until Fang Xu knocked on the door. He was so startled he backed up a few paces. He huddled against the wall and cried out for help. “Xiao Wu, what do I dooo, Fang Xu is a pervert ah!”

“Ding. Next time Master wants to shut Xiao Wu up in the dark, please notify Xiao Wu in advance, thank you.”

“…………” Was this…anger?

Fan Yuan was still reeling, but he saw the door open from the outside. Fang Xu saw his astonishment and waggled the key in his hand. Tears immediately poured down Fan Yuan’s face—he had forgotten it was his home QAQ EijTLs

Fang Xu pulled down his zipper and started to pee, a tremendous and enormous sight like no other. Fan Yuan couldn’t help casting a glance over and immediately blanched, scared sh*tless. If that thing were to enter his body, perhaps he would just have to punch out and get his paycheck ahead of schedule.

#If the male lead says bend, then there’s just no guarding against bending QAQ#

#The gay male love rival is absolutely a hazardous occupation!!! smashes phone#

It was plain that the male lead-daren had obediently followed the plot the whole time, so why had he gone off the rails so suddenly? Fan Yuan reflected on his actions. Was it because he kissed the male lead yesterday? Did he actually carry around his own male-arousing halo? If not, how could he account for the fact that he had bent two male leads in a row? LdR Ze

Fang Xu looked him up and down from the corner of his eye. He put away that lethal weapon of his and walked over to the sink. Washing his hands, he asked, “Did you see it?”

Fan Yuan swallowed his saliva and carefully asked, “Did I see……what?”

Fang Xu’s lips quirked up in a smirk and he grabbed a paper towel to dry off his hands. He turned his body and trapped Fan Yuan against the wall with one arm on either side of him. “Did you see the marks on your body?”

“…………” F*cking hell, man, do you have no sense of shame? Even if you don’t care, I do! He turned his head. Gritting his teeth, he forced out, “I saw.” y3rLp0

Fang Xu raised Fan Yuan’s face and forced him to meet his gaze. He looked as if he had a headache. His voice soft, he said, “What’s wrong? You’re unhappy that I didn’t finish the job? I was a straight guy before, you know. I was willing to try it because it was you. That said, you have to give me a little time to adjust, so don’t be so insatiable, okay?”

Insatiable your sister! Everywhere on laozi’s body was gnawed on by you. Can I ask you to not be so thirsty?!

Fan Yuan met the male lead-daren’s intense stare head on, but in the end he was still gutless. He remained silent and stared. Choking, he said, “………Okay.”

#The male lead-daren is a pervert, whaddo I dooooo /(ToT)/~~# kncGK7

#I feel a deep sense of malice coming from this world#

#If I were to say I actually didn’t like you, would you believe me?#

Translator's Note

Not important, but slightly interesting: the first time “sprawled on the ground” was used, the author used the character for “lying on one’s stomach/front,” but the second, she used the word for “lying on one’s back” (趴 pā vs 躺 tǎng).

Translator's Note

This idiom literally means “to share the bed and the pillow,” but figuratively means “to be married”(同床共枕 – tóng chuáng gòng zhěn).

Translator's Note

When I searched this up to make sure it wasn’t a reference I was missing, all of the results were about passing American immigration when you’re flagged to go into the interview room. I guess that’s a thing??

Edit: according to lovely reader grimmywashere, “little black room” has multiple meanings. It can be used as a term like “banned”/”shadowbanned” for users on forums. It can also refer to “that Yandere trope where the male lead locks the female lead up, not letting them go out, etc. Supposed to be romantic. (小黑屋 play)” or is a sensory deprivation room (literal “little black room”) OR refers to the game. Thanks grimmy!

Translator's Note

Alternate translation for this idiom: “to enter by exploiting a weak spot”(趁虛而入 – chèn xū ér rù).

Translator's Note

Literally: “What about [your] face?”(臉呢?!).

Translator's Note

Idiom literally means “to dig three feet deep” (掘地三尺 – jué dì sān chǐ).

Translator's Note

Originally in English.

Translator's Note

The original phrasing in Chinese about “cleanly eating [sth/sb] up” (like eating something and leaving no trace/wiping your mouth clean) didn’t translate well, so I changed it to a more idiomatic English expression.

Translator's Note

So the original Chinese said, “Is the male lead an enoki mushroom?” Enoki mushrooms are just really long, thin mushrooms (pictured below).

N0Hr8w

I used pencil because it can be associated with “pencil d*ck” in English.

Translator's Note

Okay, so the phrase the author used literally means “if things went wrong, maybe he’d have to pick up his lunch box ahead of schedule.” The “pick up his lunch box” part is apparently a phrase said by moviegoers when a character dies (as in the actor could get their lunchbox and go home).
