As the Minor Gay Rival in Het Novels

Chapter 6.8

At the back of the antique trading house, there was a garden for the VIPs to enjoy. There, several water lilies lay scattered on the surface of a clear pond, brilliant in bloom.

Fan Yuan bent down, his long fingertips casually skimming against the surface of the pond, the expression in his eyes belying deep thoughts.

Do you know Dan Wen?

Slowly, word by word, this was what Yu Kai asked him during the fire that day.

This was the second time he had heard that name from someone else. It seemed that it wasnt a misunderstanding from the very start. He must have something to do with that person, but he has forgotten.

Bai Xi sat on a stone bench enjoying his tea. He asked leisurely, You really want to get back those memories?

Fan Yuan turned to look at him and shook his head seriously. Seeing the mans wide-eyed look, he spoke slowly and softly, I just dont like being manipulated.

Bai Xi stared at him, his gaze complicated for a while. Fan Yuan stood up and went over to him, Thats the look. When I woke up in confusion, the first thing I saw was you. Thats why I remember your expression, your lookI remember every detail very clearly.

So you think it was I who manipulated you? Witnessing Fan Yuans silence, he patted his forehead in frustration and said angrily, The boss actually f*cked me over, its simply too cunning!

Fan Yuan, hearing his implication, frowned and asked, The boss you speak of, who is it?

Bai Xi went hehe as he laughed, his expression looking as sinister as it could get, Though Im a little angry, I still cant give away the boss, or else my marriage leave will be cancelled. With that, he held up his cup of herbal tea and savoured it carefully, muttering countless words of praise.

Fan Yuan stared at him for a good while. Who knew what Fan Yuan was thinking, but he suddenly smiled, Your appearance right now looks the same as yours in the original world. It seems that this is your actual body. Within these three thousand small worlds, there arent many people who can appear in their actual form, and more so not be afraid of the rules. Allow this junior to speak boldly, Senior Bai Xibai, I speculate that you are one of the ten senior law enforcers.

Though he said it was a speculation, the words were said in an affirmative tone. Bai Xis hand that was holding the teacup paused slightly and he adamantly denied, Just by that, you determined my identity. Isnt that too arbitrary?

Fan Yuan slowly sat himself opposite Bai Xi, In fact, it isnt arbitrary. When I was completing my mission in the upper plane, I had the honor to meet Li-daren. He said it himself, there are two senior law enforcers who arent sure of which world to spend their honeymoon in. I suppose that those two in question must be Senior Bai and his wife.

Youve seen our boss?! Bai Xi exclaimed.

Fan Yuan looked at him silently, his expression unpredictable. Bai Xi knew that he had spoken too rashly, but it was too late to make up for it. He thought, since he had carried the pot for so long, since it was already broken, he would just spill all the beans.

Now that youve guessed it, Ill tell you everything. Over 3000 years ago, my wife and I didnt have a definite relationship. One time, I was summoned by the boss. He entrusted your unconscious self to me and asked me to send you to three thousand small worlds to perform the lowest level of tasks. Since your appearance was too excellent, just a little worse than my wife, Ill tell you a little more.

Every three sentences, he would talk about his wife. Fan Yuan shivered from this, this guy could fight with Gao Sui, both were the same wife-cons.

Bai Xi saw that Fan Yuans expression was still stiff as wood, yet his fingers were shaking subconsciously. He surmised that Fan Yuan was nervous and grinned, Dont be nervous. In fact, I dont know much about him. Since youve seen him before, you should know what kind of person the boss is. Even after half a day, you cant get much words out of him. What I know is only your name, and also thatyou took the initiative to ask for a portion of your memories to be erased.

A breeze blew past, carrying several pink peach blossom petals as they circled in the air before falling slowly into the white porcelain cup. The fragrance of peach blossom permeated the air, so sweet that it seemed surreal. Fan Yuan stuttered, Took the initiative?

Seeing Bai Xi nod his head slightly, Fan Yuans eyelashes drooped, his emotions unclear. He continued asking, Do you know why?

Theres an S-level database in the source world which records all the information of people in the worlds. You should be able to find the answer youre looking for. With that, Bai Xi gazed at the sky before getting up, My wife is probably getting impatient from waiting. Ill be heading off first, till next time.

He didnt say whether he knew the reason or not. It seemed that there was a secret. Fan Yuan didnt want to put him in a difficult situation, so he nodded, Many thanks for today.

In big strides, Bai Xi headed towards the exit. Right before he left, he turned back with a hehe, I will be extremely grateful if you dont hold a grudge against me. After thousands of years, you could still recognize me with a glance, its showing of how careful you are. People like you are the ones that should never be offended.

As he finished his sentence, he turned away and disappeared as he rounded the corner.

Fan Yuan raised his eyebrows and couldnt help but laugh. He didnt understand why he remembered Bai Xi so clearly. Maybe it was because he was too confused and uneasy at that time. He wanted to find any semblance of reality, so he subconsciously desired to carve everything in his mind.

From a down-to-earth person, he suddenly became an unreal spirit, and he had lost most of his memory. It would be weird if anyone could deal with all this calmly.

Ding, the S-level database is not open to ordinary players, but if the Main God gives permission.

Fan Yuan chuckled and interrupted, Theres no need. Though Im really curious, its not something I have to know. Just let things take its course.

Just like before when he suspected that Bai Xi had manipulated his memory, he never thought of taking the initiative to find the man, because his goal was to live well, not to delay work for these unimportant people. If he bumped into him, he would find out what really happened, but if he didnt, he would just let it go. Anyway, he wouldnt die without a few less memories.

Xiao Wu:

*******************

As the sky darkened, Fan Yuan estimated that with the martial arts of the male lead, even if he was bringing along the female lead who would definitely drag him down, they would be able to come back. As for him, he carried the jade ruyi and headed back to the Gusu Manor.

Just as he entered the front door, a young servant called to stop him. Fan Yuan knew the boy, he was Gusu Moliangs confidant. It turns out that the Gusu Young Master had specially sent someone to stop him at the front door.

Since Fan Yuan wanted to live and enjoy meals in someone elses home, sooner or later, he would bump into him. He couldnt hide for his entire life, and it was better to clear things up with the Gusu Young Master while Yan Rui wasnt here, in case there were more troubles in the future. Thus, he let the servant lead the way and followed all the way to Yifeng Pavilion.

Gusu Moliang had been waiting for a long time. As he saw Fan Yuan, his eyes immediately brightened. He walked over quickly to Fan Yuan, looking a little shy, Brother Bai, is it okay if I call you Muyuan?

Fan Yuan softly gave an en. You can call me whatever you want, anyway, laozi is going to have a showdown with you. I have to kill your budding feelings before its too late.

After hearing his consent, Gusu Moliang was overjoyed. He spoke hesitantly, In fact, I asked you to come- I asked you to come so that I could apologise to you.

Fan Yuans lips twitched. Does an apology need to be so flashy? You think laozi is blind, isnt it?

Dozens of pink lanterns were hung outside the pavilion as they swayed with the wind, and each of them were clearly written in exquisite calligraphy with the big character Yuan. On top of that, a circle of blooming roses surrounded the pavilion, emanating a fragrance that could be smelled even miles away.

#Weve only known each other for a day, okay!#

#Laozi isnt an easy guy!#

#Gusu Bro, did you really not transmigrate over?!#

Fan Yuan was already feeling the scrutinising looks of curiosity, and there were also those that were sizing him up. Gusu Moliang was the greatest hope of the Gusu Family and naturally, he was also the entire familys focus. He was afraid that the whole manor would be shocked by such an obvious bold move.

Brother Gusu, may I know if you are trying to come out in public? Or are you purely acting stupid? Can baby not accompany you~ waving goodbye emoji

Because it was very late, Gusu Moliang didnt find the emotion in Fan Yuans eyes. He said enthusiastically, Muyuan,I heard that you love eating pearl carp. Ive been studying the pearl carp dish carefully for the entire afternoon in the kitchen. Ive also made smoked carp, poria carp, poached carp, stewed carp with dried tangerine peel, stewed carp with winter melon, and carp head with chicken herbal soup. Even the cook praised me, saying that I have a natural-born talent. I hope you like it.

Fan Yuan listened to him finish with a wooden expression, he really wanted to spit a mouthful of blood in his face. No wonder you reek of oil, smoke and fish You bastard, how free are you exactly? Your family is waiting for you to procreate! Youve been cooking fish in the kitchen all afternoon? What about your ideals and ambitions! Have you taken them for fish and eaten them up?!

He swallowed his mouth of old blood silently and raised his eyes to meet Gusu Moliangs sincere black irises. The veins at his temples were bulging. He tried to control himself, but he really couldnt, Do I look like a cat?

Gusu Moliang: (v)???

Fan Yuan gritted his teeth, Other than the pearl carp, I wont eat the rest! I wont eat a single one of them! I hate fish the most!

Seeing that he was angry, Gusu Moliang apologised, Im sorry, I didnt know. I wont make such a mistake in the future.

Fan Yuan stared at him with cold eyes, In the future? Had he gotten addicted to cooking fish?

Gusu Moliang was startled by his sharp eyes, causing him to take a step back subconsciously as he said, No, there wont be a next time.

A few moments later, he saw that Fan Yuans expression seemed to be getting better. He asked cautiously, Then, will you still eat the pearl carp?

Fan Yuan took a deep breath and took the lead to enter Yifeng Pavilion, saying: Eat! Why dont I eat? You spent so much time, how can I not eat! Theres trouble waiting for me after Im done eating!

The most promising young master of the Gusu family had been bent by him. He also did such an immoral thing. How could the Old Master let him go? If the Old Master knew about it, he would probably kill him! He had to eat till he was full so that he could have enough energy to deal with the old man, no?

In the pavilion, carp dishes were served plate by plate on the stone table. Although the appearance wasnt exactly pleasing, he could tell that it was made with really hard effort. He couldnt tell which dish was pearl carp, so he picked up the chopsticks and started eating the dishes randomly. He said vaguely, Thank you.

Gusu Moliang stood by and saw that he was eating the dishes he had made seriously. At that moment, he felt that the scald on his hand didnt seem to hurt so much anymore.

Fan Yuan ate a few mouthfuls and suddenly thought of something. He turned and pointed towards the decorations surrounding the pavilion and asked, What is going on with this?

Roses, lanterns, and even music. It couldnt be that this fool really transmigrated over, right?

Gusu Moliang walked opposite him and sat down with a smile. He stared unwaveringly at Fan Yuan and said, Brother Xiao taught me all this. I told him that I want to tell youumthat I was sorry. He seemed very happy. He also offered to help me plan this, saying that his hometown does it like this. Im sorry, I tried it out and the effect seemed good.

Fan Yuan stared at his innocent smiling face and suddenly felt that he couldnt eat any more. Damn, no one had ever told him that the female lead was a fujoshi!!!

I died with the roses, Gusu Moliang my man please
