After the Straight Male Incubus Became a Heartthrob - Chapter 9

After Ye Lin finished speaking, he felt Yuan Yuan nuzzling against him. He muttered a few perfunctory words to Gu Jiazhi, hung up the phone, and continued playing with the dog.

“Yuan Yuan, do you like me or Liang Wenle more?”

“Woof, woof, woof!”

Yuan Yuan did not understand Ye Lin’s words but simply kept nuzzling into his palm. Usually, no one played with it on the grass; at most, it was taken for a brief walk. Consequently, it felt an extra fondness for the human in front of it.

Ye Lin adored this fragrant, soft Samoyed. While playing with its little ears, he asked, “Yuan Yuan, your owner has a terrible temper and is very mean, right?”

Yuan Yuan could only bark, but to Ye Lin’s ears, this sounded like a definitive “yes.” As expected, even a dog could not stand Liang Wenle. The money Ye Lin earned was purely the price of his hard labor.

Just as Ye Lin was about to check his balance, he felt someone behind him. He turned around to look. It was Liang Wenle.

Liang Wenle’s expression was poor. He looked first at Yuan Yuan and then at Ye Lin, saying coldly, “I heard everything you just said.”

Ye Lin stood up in a fright. Yuan Yuan also sensed something; it hid behind Ye Lin’s legs and stopped barking.

Liang Wenle beckoned, and Yuan Yuan finally ran over to let him pet it. “You bad dog. Your head is so small and you are so stupid that you were easily fooled by him.”

Seeing that he did not explode in a rage, Ye Lin breathed a sigh of relief and quickly tried to smooth things over. “Actually, it is not that you have a bad temper. You are just loved by so many people that you are a bit willful.”

Liang Wenle begrudgingly accepted this answer. Indeed, he had lived a life surrounded by adoration since childhood; how could a poor wretch like Ye Lin compare? Well, Ye Lin was all alone and the Ye family refused to acknowledge him. He was quite pitiful, so Liang Wenle decided not to hold a grudge.

Liang Wenle looked up at Ye Lin. “I have to attend classes for a while, so I am giving you a temporary vacation. Do not wander too far. If I need you, I will call you at any time.”

Ye Lin nodded, though he felt puzzled. “So you actually have to go to school? I thought you were just loafing around all day like an unemployed vagrant who did not need to study or work.”

Liang Wenle grew annoyed at the mention of this and could not help but curse. “It is infuriating. It is all the fault of those big-mouthed idiots. Originally, my going to university was just a formality, but now I have to go twice a week. It is exhausting.”

Ye Lin could not understand. “Is going twice a week not a good thing?”

Liang Wenle glared at him. “Of course not! I used to be free every day, but now the mere thought of having things to do every week makes me uncomfortable. When have I ever suffered like this? It makes me so angry!”

It was clear that the Liang family was being very strict and would not allow him to hire a proxy student, which left Liang Wenle extremely frustrated. Ye Lin decided it was best to slip away before he became the target of that anger.

Ye Lin quickly said his goodbyes. “Then I will not disturb you. I am leaving now.”

Liang Wenle remembered the location he had mentioned yesterday. “Wait. The place you wanted to go yesterday is right next to the university. Let us go together since it is on the way.”

Ye Lin had not expected him to have such a good memory. Since it would save him transportation costs, he readily agreed.

This time, the driver sat in the front while Liang Wenle slept in the back row. Ye Lin played on his phone beside him. The car drove smoothly and felt very safe. Gradually, Ye Lin also grew drowsy.

When they arrived at the destination, Liang Wenle woke up first. Seeing Ye Lin leaning against his shoulder, he quickly pushed him away.

The driver in the front saw this and smiled. “I heard the young master is in a relationship. This person looks quite honest and simple.”

Liang Wenle quickly explained, “It is not really a relationship. We are just having some fun.”

Ye Lin opened his eyes dizzily. He did not hear their conversation and looked out the window. They were in an area filled with many tall academic buildings, surrounded by young faces passing by.

The driver dropped Gu Jiazhi off and left first. This was the parking lot; across from it was a teaching building, and further away was the sports field he had seen from Gu Jiazhi’s house that day.

It turned out that Gu Jiazhi and Liang Wenle attended the same university. They were both still students, though it was impossible to tell from their behavior. Ye Lin grumbled silently in his heart, then suddenly saw Gu Jiazhi walking toward them.

Gu Jiazhi was holding books and had changed into academic-style clothing, making him look very much like a student. He looked first at Ye Lin and then at Liang Wenle. “Oh, our Wenle has come to class too?”

Liang Wenle began to curse in anger. “Let me tell you, it is all the fault of those idiots. It was during that time we were drinking.”

Ye Lin suddenly felt a sense of camaraderie with Gu Jiazhi. They were in the same situation; even if they secretly despised Liang Wenle, they still had to say nice things to his face.

As Gu Jiazhi spoke, his eyes met Ye Lin’s. For some strange reason, he said, “Wenle, you are not actually in a relationship with him, are you? You go racing together, you go to pool parties together, and you even come to school together.”

Liang Wenle corrected him sternly, “That is not it at all. I just saw that he was pitiful, so I gave him a ride.”

Ye Lin sighed. In truth, he regretted taking Liang Wenle’s car. “You guys chat. I am leaving now.”

Liang Wenle did not bother looking at him and began shouting to Gu Jiazhi about where they should go to have fun after class.

After returning to the apartment, Ye Lin lay on the sofa scrolling through videos to relieve his boredom. After that, he played popular games and spent the entire morning that way. When he used to work, he had desperately wanted free time to play games and watch videos. But now that he had the time, he actually felt a bit bored.

Was it because he had no hobbies? Liang Wenle had racing, even if his skills were terrible and his addiction was greater than his talent.

Ye Lin suddenly thought of riding. Back in junior high school, he used to ride a motorcycle through the streets and alleys, occasionally winning the favor of girls. His riding skills were far superior to those of a straw man like Liang Wenle. Now that he had money, he should buy a good motorcycle to play with.

Ye Lin began to look up popular motorcycles. Since he had money now, he had to buy the most expensive one so that he would have face when riding it out. However, after looking for a while, his head felt dizzy and he felt extremely hot.

[System]: The host’s hunger value has reached 90 percent. Upon reaching the peak of 100 percent, the host will enter a state of confusion.

Hunger value? But he was not hungry! Ye Lin ran to the kitchen and took several large bites of food.

[System]: The host’s hunger value has reached 95 percent. Please replenish quickly.

No, he had already eaten! Why was he still hungry when he was about to burst from fullness?

[System]: Host, a Succubus needs to supplement with human body fluids to resolve the hunger value.

What on earth?

Ye Lin felt too hot. He took the air conditioner remote and lowered the temperature, but even at 16°C, he still felt scorched. It was truly strange; not only was he dizzy while walking, but his limbs felt weak as if he were about to faint.

Ye Lin struggled to move toward the bedroom. As soon as he lay down, he pulled out his phone to search for information about Succubi, including the human body fluids the system mentioned. After reading the blunt explanations from netizens, he finally understood. He specifically needed fluids from a male.

[System]: Yes, the host requires a male. Please replenish as soon as possible. Hunger value is at 98 percent, nearly reaching the threshold.

A male? A male?

The mere thought of kissing a man was terrifying to Ye Lin, but Gu Jiazhi’s face suddenly appeared in his mind. That day in the living room, when he and Gu Jiazhi kissed, it did not seem so unpleasant. Moreover, Gu Jiazhi was his good brother and was relatively reliable; he probably would not tell anyone about this.

Ye Lin took out his phone and called Gu Jiazhi.

“Hello? What do you want now?”

“Jia, Jiazhi, emergency. I feel so bad. Hurry back and kiss me.”

“What are you doing?”

Gu Jiazhi was no fool. He could immediately tell from the state of Ye Lin’s voice that something was wrong. He stood up at once, preparing to leave the pool hall.

Liang Wenle quickly called out to him, “What is wrong with you? Did we not agree to play dozens of games before leaving?”

Gu Jiazhi looked at Liang Wenle with a strange expression but answered calmly, “There is an emergency at home. I am going back now.”

Someone laughed and teased, “Oh, Jiazhi is not even in a relationship. Who could possibly be at his house?”

Liang Wenle was also puzzled. “Exactly. Who is at your house that makes you so anxious to abandon us?”

Gu Jiazhi did not bother saying more. He packed up quickly and left the pool hall. Liang Wenle watched his hurried departure with a strange feeling, much like the time he was ten years old and saw Gu Jiazhi secretly buy snacks and hide from their parents to eat them, urgent and excited.

It was already after four in the afternoon. The sunlight had turned soft, spilling into the room and adding a touch of warmth.

The moment Gu Jiazhi opened the door, he called Ye Lin’s name, but he received no response. This guy was usually slumped on the sofa in the living room, but now there was no sign of him. He had to walk toward the bedroom, where he vaguely heard Ye Lin’s voice.

Gu Jiazhi stopped in his tracks, the tips of his ears burning. He knew exactly what he was hearing and did not dare to move.

“So hot,” Ye Lin’s voice continued, drifting through the crack in the door. Even the door was not closed tightly; he must have done this on purpose!

Gu Jiazhi pushed the door open, only to see a startling sight. Ye Lin had black, mouflon-like horns growing from the top of his head. His cheeks were flushed, his eyes were watery, and a long, slender, black heart-shaped tail extended from behind him.

Was he playing a role-playing game?

“You called me back just to show me this?” Gu Jiazhi said. “You said we were friends, yet you are pulling this stunt. You are acting pretentious!”

Gu Jiazhi walked over and grabbed Ye Lin’s black horns, intending to pull the decoration off. However, he found they would not budge. He realized with a delay that these were actually growing out of Ye Lin’s head.

Feeling someone’s presence, Ye Lin took the initiative to wrap his arms around Gu Jiazhi’s neck and shoulders. He leaned in and whispered in his ear, “I feel so bad.”

His breath was hot, like fine down feathers brushing past, instantly stirring a rippling itch. Gu Jiazhi froze, his cheek burning, unable to push him away.

Ye Lin grabbed his hand and leaned in to kiss him. “I want it.”

In a daze, Gu Jiazhi lowered his head to return the kiss. Ye Lin was like a traveler in the desert who had endured thirst and long journeys, finally tasting sweet rain; he would not let go easily. The tail behind him, which had been drooping, now lifted up, symbolizing his happiness.

Gu Jiazhi had not expected this guy to be so passionate. For a moment, he forgot to question the strangeness of Ye Lin’s body and simply helped him as they had done before. However, this time, Ye Lin was clearly not satisfied with simple mutual assistance; he insisted on tangling with him and doing things that crossed even more boundaries.

Fortunately, after the last encounter, Gu Jiazhi had watched relevant videos and had some knowledge prepared, so he did not panic in this situation. It was just that Ye Lin was too clingy, wanting to be pressed against him every second and refusing to leave for even a moment, which hindered his preparations.

“Sit over there. Do not lean on me.”

“No.” Ye Lin’s tone was thick and clingy, sounding exactly like he was acting spoiled.

God only knew what was wrong with him today, making so many seductive moves and being so clingy. Although Gu Jiazhi complained that Ye Lin was in the way, he actually liked it in his heart, so he let Ye Lin lean against him.

Perhaps the learning had been effective because, at a certain moment, Ye Lin suddenly let out a soft cry. He gripped Gu Jiazhi’s arm tightly and whispered, “It, it itches so much.”

Gu Jiazhi lowered his head slightly. Perhaps because the sunlight was too soft, the water rippled with beautiful fragments of light. He knew the time had come.

However, after learning the theory, the first practical application was not entirely smooth; they encountered many obstacles. These obstacles were like diving underwater; as they moved forward, they encountered many layers of coral and seagrass blocking the way.

Gu Jiazhi’s brow was furrowed. Ye Lin complained that it did not feel good, and his tail drooped. But if the process did not move forward, neither of them would feel better. Gu Jiazhi had to kiss him, patiently coaxing him, and even reached out to touch his horns.

Ye Lin suddenly cried out, glaring at him with a red face. “No, do not touch my horns!”

Gu Jiazhi noticed his reaction and deliberately tickled him. “Why can I not? You were the one who threw yourself at me, so I can do whatever I want, right? By the way, are these horns something you grew yourself or a headpiece you bought? They are so realistic that I cannot even pull them off.”

Ye Lin stopped answering him and just whimpered against his shoulder. His tail was raised completely, waving like a small whip. It made one’s heart itch. Gu Jiazhi grabbed the tail to keep him from moving and said deliberately, “I am not only going to touch your horns, but I am also going to play with your tail.”

Ye Lin looked at him, tilted his head up to kiss him, and took the initiative to ask for more. He was a Succubus and desperately needed these things, which was why he sought them so urgently.

After some time, the two of them cooperated with tacit understanding, like a fish in water, living in harmony. Ye Lin would sometimes shed tears that were like pearls, crystal clear. Even though he was crying, he still leaned into Gu Jiazhi’s arms as if that could comfort him.

But Gu Jiazhi was the one making him cry. Being made to cry and then seeking comfort from the same person was stupidly cute. Gu Jiazhi loved it too much; he kept lowering his head to kiss him and said many nonsensical things. He had never had such an exhilarating experience. He had known Ye Lin was this good. That night, he should not have let Ye Lin sleep beside him without doing anything.

[System]: Host hunger value is at 50 percent. Succubus form deactivated.

Ye Lin had been in a daze, but upon hearing this voice, he instantly regained his clarity. The horns and tail on his body all vanished, and he returned to the appearance of a normal person.

However, the scene before him was anything but normal. Beyond being messy, it could even be described as terrifying.

“Gu Jiazhi, you, you.”

Ye Lin did not even need to look around to check the situation. The moment his senses returned, he knew exactly what had happened between him and Gu Jiazhi.

Gu Jiazhi loved this ignorant and innocent look on him. He kissed Ye Lin’s eyes and sighed sincerely, “Fortunately, you did not let that idiot Liang Wenle have you last night.”

After the fear came shame. Ye Lin tried to push Gu Jiazhi away, but he found that he had no strength. His breathing was uneven, and the air he exhaled was still hot.

“Jiazhi, listen to me. This was all an accident. You, you should leave here first, and I will explain everything to you.”

“What accident? By the way, where are your tail and horns?”

Help! Gu Jiazhi had seen that ghostly appearance of his too! Ye Lin could not take it anymore; he wanted to dig a hole and bury himself on the spot.
