A System’s Indiscretion and a CEO’s Intentions

Inside the changing room, Jian Ye clutched at his wildly beating heart, the lingering numbness in his body slowly receding.

[Jian Ye: Second System! Second System! Get out here! Don’t play innocent, I know you’re there!]

[System 748: Your system is online. How may I assist you, Host?]

[Jian Ye: Why didn’t you say anything just now? Were you just hiding, watching me get bullied?]

[System 748: Second System has been wronged! All our systems are pure, green systems. We undergo training before deployment, and we are strictly forbidden from observing any intimate scenes involving the Host.]

[Jian Ye: Oh? Forbidden from observing? Does that mean you can still hear?]

[System 748: Uh, this, this… We indeed do not block sounds.]

[Jian Ye: You heard everything clearly, didn’t you? How he kissed me just now? What kind of ‘green’ system are you?!]

[System 748: It’s alright, Host. This system is always on your side and would never reveal your shame to others. All our systems have signed confidentiality agreements.]

[Jian Ye: Who’s ashamed!!!]

[System 748: My apologies. Not shame, but pleasure. The system can perceive the Host’s physical reactions. Based on the data, the Host thoroughly enjoys being kissed.]

‘Damn it!’

He did not…

He did not enjoy being kissed that much.

Though Jian Ye wouldn’t admit it aloud, he inwardly cursed the system for speaking such blunt truths. When Yi Siyu had pressed him against the wall and kissed him, he had truly been overwhelmed. He had always thought that being forced would evoke disgust, but Jian Ye found that not only did he not hate it, his body and mind actually felt a surge of joy. This realization made him question everything.

Could he be a bit of a masochist?

According to his original character setting, he, a manipulative green tea cannon fodder, should have been trying every trick in the book to seduce the Protagonist Gong, clawing his way up and disrupting the love between the protagonist pair. Yet, this time, he hadn’t initiated anything!

[Jian Ye: He was the one who made the first move! I didn’t do anything! Has the Protagonist Gong’s character setting collapsed?]

[System 748: I’m not sure about that. I will report it to the higher-ups on your behalf. According to the book’s plot, the Protagonist Gong would never touch a cannon fodder. But today, he kissed you, and quite fiercely at that.]

Jian Ye: “…” There was no need to be so specific.

[System 748: What do you plan to do now, Host? Do you want to date the Protagonist Gong? I think he quite likes you.]

Jian Ye’s mind was in a tangled mess. Why would he like him? Why wasn’t he following the plot? If Yi Siyu had remained indifferent to him, he could have felt at ease. But Yi Siyu had been nothing but kind to him from start to finish.

[Jian Ye: I… I don’t know.]

Jian Ye felt like he was about to eat his words. Who was it who had first declared they wouldn’t develop feelings for a fictional character? Now, after just one kiss, he was completely flustered? He didn’t want any complicated emotional entanglements, but his body wouldn’t lie.

[Jian Ye: Can I… can I just desire his body?]

[System 748: That is up to the Host to decide. The system has no right to interfere. Does the Host only want a physical relationship, without emotional attachment?]

Did it have to be phrased so bluntly?

[Jian Ye: As someone who could be abandoned at any moment, I’m afraid that getting emotionally involved would only bring greater harm.]

[System 748: Why is the Host so pessimistic? Now that you’ve upgraded, your personal magnetic field has changed. Perhaps you truly can capture the Protagonist Gong’s heart in the future.]

Jian Ye wasn’t being pessimistic; he merely maintained a shred of caution against the world’s uncertainties. Having been alone since childhood, he instinctively activated his protective mechanisms whenever he encountered difficulties or dangers. Transmigrating into a book overnight was already fantastical enough; any unbelievable changes could happen in the future.

He acknowledged the pleasure he felt during intimate moments with Yi Siyu. Since he had faced it, there was no need to deliberately suppress his desires. Jian Ye felt that the plot already had a bug, so he no longer needed to strictly follow the framework and be bound by the story. He would continue to maintain his ‘little green tea’ persona and take things one step at a time.

Knock, knock—

The door was knocked. “Yeye? Still not changed? Are you sure you don’t need help?”

A flicker of panic crossed Jian Ye’s face. “No help needed, I’ll be done soon.”

He had been contemplating life for so long that he’d forgotten a domineering CEO was waiting outside.

So, he quickly stripped off his dance clothes and changed into his comfortable casual wear. A white T-shirt and black pants brought back the image of a bright, sunny college student, a stark contrast to the alluring, captivating figure he’d been on stage.

As Jian Ye emerged from the changing room, Yi Siyu mused on how his spouse could be so multifaceted. He realized he still knew too little about him; every facet of Jian Ye struck a chord in his heart.

After chatting with Xie Fei for a while, the other man had advised him to be more proactive in coaxing someone, suggesting he should adopt a ‘dog-like’ subservient attitude no matter what he did. Though Yi Siyu was a proud man, he agreed with Xie Fei’s methods.

He took the performance clothes Jian Ye had just removed and considerately said, “We’ll eat out later. I’ve booked a restaurant.”

Jian Ye nodded, agreeing with Yi Siyu.

After getting into the car, a slight silence fell between them. Jian Ye looked out the window, his body a little tense. He felt a peculiar energy. Indeed, before today, who would have thought Yi Siyu would genuinely be interested in him?

Now that they would be sleeping in the same bed, he could no longer look at this man with pure eyes. After all, what he’d glimpsed in the changing room just now—that sizable ‘package’—had been quite an impact. Jian Ye feared he might wake up screaming from nightmares.

“Yeye, I…” Yi Siyu broke the silence. “Did I scare you? If you’re unwilling, I won’t force you again. I can wait.”

This tactic of retreating to advance was also taught to him by Xie Fei: first, apologize and admit fault, then play hard to get.

Jian Ye indeed reacted upon hearing this. The boy thought for a moment, then calmly said, “It’s fine, it was just a bit sudden. I wasn’t really prepared, and you… you did that to me…”

“I’m sorry.”

With the apology, Jian Ye felt a little bad. They were legally married, after all. If Yi Siyu truly wanted to do something, it would be protected by law, a legitimate marital act.

Jian Ye understood that a man like Yi Siyu, a protagonist, had been abstinent for many years. Now that he was married, continuing to restrain himself would indeed be a great torment. He was about to offer a few empathetic words of comfort when he heard the man continue the latter half of his sentence: “Next time, I’ll definitely wait until you’re ready before doing that.”

Jian Ye: “…” Heh.

There was some sincerity in the apology, but not much.

Yi Siyu seemed oblivious to Jian Ye’s change in mood, continuing to rub salt in the wound. “Does your mouth still hurt? I’ll order some light dishes for you later.”

Jian Ye: “…” Thanks a lot, then.

The restaurant was exceptionally high-end. As soon as they entered, they were greeted by top-tier staff. The table was by the window, offering a view of Yunjing’s commercial center. This was a prime location, so the meal was surely not cheap.

After enjoying a five-star meal, Jian Ye’s mood had significantly improved. Seeing Jian Ye happy, Yi Siyu seized the opportunity.

After dinner, he took him to buy clothes. Jian Ye tried to decline, saying it wasn’t necessary, but the man acted as if he hadn’t heard, simply taking his hand and leading him to a brand clothing store under the Yi family’s umbrella.

“This one, this one, and this one…”

Jian Ye watched Yi Siyu pick out a pile and quickly tugged at his sleeve. “That’s too many.”

Immediately after, he heard, “Don’t bother with the twenty-something pieces I just mentioned. You can pack up the rest.”

Jian Ye: “…”

‘So, my perspective was too narrow,’ he thought.

This was how domineering CEOs went on shopping sprees. The manager beside them looked at Jian Ye with envy and blessings. Their Third Young Master Yi was so doting!

The manager had received a call from Young Master Yi much earlier, saying he would bring his spouse to select clothes. Young Master Yi’s arrival was an honor, so she had quickly categorized and displayed all the latest styles, just waiting for them to come and choose. She hadn’t expected Young Master Yi to be so extravagant, but then again, the store belonged to him. He could pick whatever he liked.

Finally, the manager said the packed clothes would be delivered directly to Lanfeng Bay.

Jian Ye was also greatly astonished. It was his first time seeing someone shop like this. ‘You might as well move the entire store into your house,’ he thought. Even after several months of transmigrating into a wealthy family, Jian Ye’s frugality from his original world was still ingrained in him.

The poor boy had little experience, and now, after marrying Young Master Yi, his worldview was constantly being refreshed. Although the method was cliché, Jian Ye admitted he was indeed charmed.

After an afternoon of shopping, Jian Ye was still buzzing with excitement when they returned in the evening, not feeling tired at all. He showered first. Lying on the bed, his eyes subconsciously darted towards the bathroom.

[System 748: What is the Host anticipating?]
[Jian Ye: Anticipating what?!!!]

After saying this, he felt a little guilty, so he asked in a quiet voice.

[Jian Ye: Is it really that obvious?]
[System 748: The system can perceive the Host’s emotions, Host. Have you forgotten? Is the Host hoping for a night of passion?]
[Jian Ye: Where do you dig up these terms? Read fewer romance novels!]
[System 748: Host, please don’t deprive this system of its hobbies. After all, I can’t watch the real-life version, so I can only learn and understand through text.]

Jian Ye: “…” Get lost!

He had truly misjudged this system. What ‘green tea cultivation system’? It should be called ‘little perv system’!

Typically, in fast-paced novels, after a kiss, the protagonists would explore the mysteries of life, wouldn’t they?

Jian Ye was incredibly nervous; he had absolutely no experience. He picked up his phone and urgently searched for some related knowledge to cram. The more he read, the more startled he became. How could there be so many… varieties?

[What to pay attention to for a first time between two men?]
[What positions make the bottom more pleasurable for the top?]
[What to do if your top is too big?]

[Jian Ye: Second System, I’m a little scared. They say it hurts a lot.]
[System 748: Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. Is the Host worried about the Protagonist Gong’s size?]
[Jian Ye: Cough, cough, cough, cough!]
[System 748: The Host’s body has already undergone one transformation, so its tolerance will be much better than an ordinary person’s.]

“What are you looking at?” A gentle voice sounded from behind, but to Jian Ye, it felt like a clap of thunder.

He had been so engrossed in his passionate chat with the system that he hadn’t even noticed the man had already showered and gotten into bed. He shivered, and his phone dropped directly onto the floor. The screen faced up, revealing several large lines of search terms.

[What to pay attention to for a first time between two men?]
[What positions make the bottom more pleasurable for the top?]
[What to do if your top is too big?]

Yi Siyu: “…”
Jian Ye: “!!!”

“Yeye, I actually today—”
“I didn’t search for this! It just popped up on its own! I definitely don’t have those kinds of thoughts about you!”

Both spoke at the same time, then both froze simultaneously.

After a moment, the man leaned forward and embraced the crimson-faced youth, taking his hand and placing it on his own pectoral muscle. “You can have them…”

“…”

“…those kinds of thoughts,” the man said, a mischievous curve to his lips. “Spouse.”
