A Charming and Cool Guy Finds Himself in a Chaotic Situation [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 19

Yuan Hechu instructed in a low voice: “Let the bodyguards take you back first. Don’t catch a cold.”

He glanced at the short jacket Yu Mianfeng was wearing over his cashmere coat and didn’t say anything more. He simply unbuttoned his military uniform, rolled his sleeves up, and stood there expressionless, projecting an unforced, awe-inspiring authority and an indescribable air of power.

“Are you going to fight him?”

Yu Mianfeng, seeing Yuan Hechu’s posture, asked thoughtfully.

“We have some matters to resolve. You go on back first.” Yuan Hechu maintained his gentle, indisputable tone.

To resolve, did that mean resolve through violence?

The Yu family bodyguards walked over, holding an umbrella for Yu Mianfeng to shield him as they escorted him away first. Through the veil of rain, Yu Mianfeng saw that it was Jiang Henggu who initiated the attack first.

The struggle between Alphas was clearly more intense; neither used any weapons, relying purely on hand-to-hand combat. In the heavy rain, they were far from their usual elegant selves. Both were drenched, and every punch landed squarely on flesh.

The protagonist lead was truly worthy of his “protagonist halo,” managing to hold his own for a time against a Marshal seasoned in countless battles.

How strange… the plot has gone wrong again.

Today should have been their first meeting. In the original plot the System had given him, the first encounter between the male lead side character and the protagonist lead was not meant to have this tension-filled atmosphere.

In the intended plot, the male side character was supposed to bump into the villain bullying the protagonist lead. Although the male side character was also of noble birth, he was in the military and detested such noble arrogance and abuse of power. After stopping the villain, the male side character and the protagonist lead would have become acquainted, started to interact, and finally committed themselves to overthrowing the noble class together.

That was how the plot should have gone.

Instead, now that Yuan Hechu had witnessed him being forcibly kissed, the person he wanted to teach a lesson to had become the protagonist lead. Yuan Hechu had always only unsheathed his blade against stronger opponents, but now, the target he sought to protect had become him.

Can the male side character and the protagonist lead still get along without any grudges, just like in the original plot?

Yu Mianfeng thought suddenly.

What an evil villain I am…?

Yu Mianfeng sneered.

Even now, his tongue still burned with spiciness. Yu Mianfeng exhaled, the cold air rushing past to cool his burning tongue.

Perhaps there were traces of someone else’s saliva still there.

Jiang Henggu had sucked his mouth until it felt numb. Yu Mianfeng felt as if his entire mouth was dirty, as if he had been licked by a dog.

My first kiss is gone. Yu Mianfeng thought as he touched his burning lips.

It was probably the protagonist lead’s first kiss, too. Heh, I hope such an “unclean” protagonist lead gets dumped hard by the protagonist shou.

Yu Mianfeng was happy to see Yuan Hechu give Jiang Henggu a beating to vent his own anger. This way, even if the plot collapsed, it shouldn’t be counted as his problem.

[Remember to rinse your mouth when you get back; there are Alpha pheromones in your oral cavity.] The System, which hadn’t made a sound in a long time, suddenly said.

Alpha pheromones could be released from the glands on an Alpha’s nape, and they also existed in bodily fluids—such as sweat, blood, saliva, and also…

Yu Mianfeng suddenly thought that, besides his mouth, there were other places where Alpha saliva pheromones existed on him. Even though he had wiped them away, they would still linger on his skin.

He could seemingly still recall that dark, wet, and clammy sensation.

His skin hunger disorder was becoming increasingly severe.

How disgusting.

I need to take a shower when I get back.

Due to his previous experience, Yu Mianfeng came out wrapped in a bathrobe after bathing before turning on his communicator. He held a towel in one hand to dry his hair while checking the new messages he had received.

Yuan Hechu: Your body will experience a brief fever four hours after taking the antidote; this is a normal phenomenon.

Yuan Hechu: Get some good rest.

He seems a bit too considerate.

It’s like this again.

Yuan Hechu’s attitude toward him had been inexplicably good from start to finish. The plan had gone so smoothly that it made Yu Mianfeng suspect that Yuan Hechu’s cooperation was the biggest factor.

The original plot was only a vague overview; what specifically happened depended on the interpretations of the people within the story. Yu Mianfeng did not agree with the values of the nobles, but he also didn’t want the lives of his parents to disappear in that uprising. He wanted to change all of this and had to do something; at the moment, it seemed to be showing initial results.

“What happens if the plot deviates?” Yu Mianfeng asked the System in his heart.

This wasn’t the first time Yu Mianfeng had posed this question, but the System had never answered it directly. This time, Yu Mianfeng received a new answer.

[I’m not sure either. When this world loses its original meaning, perhaps it will collapse? But it doesn’t matter. If that day comes… I will take you away.]

A new day.

When Yu Mianfeng woke up and went downstairs, he was surprised to find his parents waiting for him at the dining table to eat together. The outer star systems had been in turmoil recently, and he had assumed it would be some time before they could return.

Less than half a minute after he sat in the chair, a steaming breakfast was brought to the table.

Yu Mianfeng didn’t start eating immediately; he noticed that his father seemed to have something to say to him.

Sure enough, Father Yu put down the political newspaper in his hand and took a sip of tea. This was practically his father’s opening act before speaking. Father Yu’s throat had been shot previously; although he had recovered most of its functions through surgery and was no different from a normal person, there was still lingering discomfort.

“I’ve reached a cooperation agreement with the military; they will strengthen the security around you. Capital Star has not been peaceful lately.” Father Yu put down the teacup.

“By the way, that Alpha kid at the gate yesterday, do you need me to ‘dispose’ of him?”

Father Yu said it lightly.

The “dispose” in Father Yu’s mouth likely meant execution. The tone was as casual as discussing the content of breakfast, rather than deciding a person’s life or death. When dealing with matters related to Yu Mianfeng, the Yu family was always exceptionally tough.

“I can handle it myself,” Yu Mianfeng replied.

That meant he didn’t need Father Yu to intervene. If the protagonist lead really died, it would be very troublesome for his future plans. Up until now, Yu Mianfeng was still somewhat puzzled by Jiang Henggu’s actions last night whether it was born of genuine affection or pure malice.

Yu Mianfeng had always been conducting light, not-so-serious humiliations toward Jiang Henggu in accordance with his villain mission; the other man probably wouldn’t fall in love with him.

Jiang Henggu hadn’t sent any messages, and Yu Mianfeng hadn’t opened the chat box with him.

He had a theory class in the morning. Before class, Yu Mianfeng sat down alone, when suddenly someone sat down in the empty seat beside him.

This was quite strange, considering everyone avoided the arrogant villain like the plague.

The person arriving had a head of flamboyant blond hair; it was Lu Wengang. As soon as he sat down, he leaned his head over with a smile and greeted Yu Mianfeng.

“Good morning, Yu-ge.”

Yu Mianfeng’s movements paused for a beat: “Mhm.”

Every time he saw Lu Wengang’s face now, he felt an inexplicable sense of discomfort, recalling what happened last night. When that kidnapper was wearing a human-skin mask, he had used this face to touch his ankle… The hysterical madness was exactly the same as three years ago.

To disguise himself, the man had even dyed his hair blond.

Yu Mianfeng remembered that when he was in Yuan Hechu’s car yesterday, Lu Wengang had sent him many voice messages. He hadn’t been in the mood to speak at the time, so he hung up and only sent a message to inform him that he had left early. Yuan Hechu’s shots had made quite a commotion, and Lu Wengang had likely guessed something, so he hadn’t sent any more messages.

Lu Wengang’s birthday cake had even been specifically chosen in the flavor Yu Mianfeng liked.

Yu Mianfeng should have stayed to blow out the candles and taste a bite of the cake before going home. Thinking of this, Yu Mianfeng’s mood fluctuated subtly; perhaps it was guilt.

Fortunately, Lu Wengang’s birthday party had invited many people; without him there, it should have still been lively, and it wouldn’t have gone cold. Perhaps the atmosphere was better without him?

The teacher hadn’t arrived yet. Yu Mianfeng put down his pen and looked at the other person: “The course is already in the middle to late stages; without the foundation, you won’t be able to keep up just by sitting in on the lectures.”

Regarding academics, Yu Mianfeng’s words were a bit more frequent. This sentence he just said could be considered a rare, well-intentioned reminder.

“I’m actually very passionate about theory classes; regardless of whether I understand it or not, I want to come and feel the academic atmosphere,” Lu Wengang said with a straight face.

As if.

During the class, other than staring at Yu Mianfeng’s side profile in a daze, Lu Wengang was either looking down at his communicator or secretly yawning a few times.

Although he tried hard to conceal it, Yu Mianfeng still briefly noticed his distraction during a gap in the lecture, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over the other man’s communicator.

Lu Wengang looked as if he were replying to messages, his fingers typing rapidly.

After class, Yu Mianfeng asked Lu Wengang what he was looking at during class. He had intended to remind him not to be so obvious; the teacher of this course was a very nice person, and Yu Mianfeng didn’t want to hurt her feelings.

He didn’t expect Lu Wengang’s expression to become very subtle in an instant.

“You saw that? It’s nothing… just a rather interesting forum.”

Yu Mianfeng instantly lost interest; he estimated it was again some discussion about the villain’s behavior. Who would be interested in reading people scolding themselves?

The two walked toward the door. Lu Wengang scanned the surroundings and gradually moved closer to Yu Mianfeng. By the time Yu Mianfeng was unaware, he had already used sharp, piercing glares to intimidate several male Alphas who were eager to step forward and chat with Yu Mianfeng.

Lu Wengang critiqued in his heart: the one on the left wasn’t as handsome as him, the one in the right front wasn’t as tall as him…

Totally uncompetitive.

Suddenly, he thought of something and mentioned it to Yu Mianfeng as if it were an afterthought.

“I didn’t see that guy with the surname Jiang today; did Yu-ge have a falling out with him?”

Yu Mianfeng was vague: “You could say that.”

Jiang Henggu hadn’t come to school today; he wondered if it was because his injuries were too severe. Yu Mianfeng did indeed harbor some thoughts of retaliation, but since he couldn’t see the person, he had to let it go for now.

Lu Wengang invited Yu Mianfeng to a newly opened racing track, but he didn’t expect to be refused.

“…Why? Is there something up?”

Lu Wengang’s expression was rarely caught off guard.

He had checked Yu Mianfeng’s schedule; he clearly had no classes in the afternoon, and that guy named Jiang Henggu wasn’t around either. It was practically the perfect time and place.

Yu Mianfeng pondered how he should describe it: “I’m going to have lunch with your brother at noon.”

Lu Yibo had reserved his time from noon today onwards for quite a while now.

Lu Wengang’s expression lost control unexpectedly, like someone unhappy about having their plans disrupted, which Yu Mianfeng caught.

Perhaps after breaking off the engagement with the protagonist shou, I can still become good friends with his younger brother?

Yu Mianfeng pondered that their relationship would likely become very strange.

“Are you two on a date?” Lu Wengang asked suddenly.

It felt a bit too ambiguous to describe it that way, but Yu Mianfeng couldn’t truly refute the remark.

Given their engaged status, wasn’t going out together by themselves a “date”?

Yu Mianfeng hadn’t actually wanted to have too much intersection with the protagonist shou, but he still had to keep up appearances. He treated Lu Yibo as a friend in his heart, but he couldn’t say that on the surface.

And so, Yu Mianfeng said: “Mhm, it’s a date.”
