Shocking! The Protagonist of the Mpreg Story Is a Straight Man - Chapter 14

Pei Nan woke up feeling a profound sense of malice from the system.

“What kind of broken mission is this? I went through all that hardship to escape from Xue Xingqi’s clutches just to find another opportunity to go back?”

“He values you so much; won’t he be happy if you return?” 419 clearly didn’t understand that among human emotions, there is a type known as turning love into hatred.

“You also know how much he valued that rabbit,” Pei Nan said with a conflicted expression. “But the rabbit still ran away. If it were me, I wouldn’t want that rabbit anymore if I saw it again.”

Pei Nan actually felt some guilt in his heart, but he had thought it through seriously: he couldn’t be someone’s pet rabbit for the rest of his life. Pulling away early was considered normal, but seeing Xue Xingqi’s appearance today, he felt he had done something wrong. At the very least, he should have given both parties a more dignified parting.

The deed was done; it was better to eat first.

Pei Nan and Chen Bin didn’t head out to forage for food until noon. Each of them carried a serving of roasted meat rice. Pei Nan once again relied on his outstanding looks to receive preferential treatment from the cafeteria lady; the rice was heaped so high it looked like a mountain, causing Chen Bin to exclaim that it was “badass.”

“Brother Nan, it’s lucky I have a small appetite and this much is enough to eat. Otherwise, I’d have to take these two plates and go argue with her.”

Pei Nan glanced at it. “As long as it’s enough to eat, it saves wasting it.”

Pei Nan had just taken a few bites and was about to speak to Chen Bin when a shadow suddenly fell over his head. Immediately after, he heard that familiar voice again.

“Classmate, may I borrow your campus card for a moment?”

Xue Xingqi leaned his hand on the table, bending down slightly to look at Pei Nan.

From his perspective, he could see Pei Nan’s thick eyebrows and the hair whorl he had missed for a long time. When Pei Nan looked up, he still had that handsome face and bright eyes. He seemed to remember him too; his expression wasn’t quite natural, and the way he pursed his lips made them appear even more moist and red, with snow-white teeth neatly arranged between them.

“Here.” Pei Nan’s campus card was sitting right there on the table, so he couldn’t even make up an excuse about not having it.

Xue Xingqi took the card, actually bought a meal, and then came back to sit beside Pei Nan. “I’ll add you on WeChat and transfer the meal money to you.”

Pei Nan’s cheeks were bulging with food. Hearing this, he chewed quickly and swallowed before saying, “No need, it wasn’t much money.”

“How could I be so bold?” Xue Xingqi threw a “straight ball” at Pei Nan. “I know you, Pei Nan. You are a seed player on the swimming team. For a long time moving forward, I will be responsible for your swimming team and the competition matters. Adding you on WeChat makes it easier to stay in touch.”

Pei Nan’s eyes widened. “Why are you in charge? Is our school out of people?”

“It seems you really don’t welcome me.” Xue Xingqi gave a light laugh and explained, “It’s not that your school is out of people; it’s that our two schools are co-hosting this event. The final venue is set at your school, so we came over here to handle things. If you have any issues, you can come to me.”

Pei Nan frowned slightly. “I didn’t say I don’t welcome you. Don’t go putting labels on me.”

“Then add me on WeChat.” Xue Xingqi displayed his QR code. After Pei Nan scanned it, Xue Xingqi looked at Chen Bin. “Classmate, are you also on the swimming team?”

Chen Bin waved his hands. “No, no, I’m not. My athletic nerves aren’t developed. I’m Pei Nan’s roommate.”

“Then you must be very excellent as well. Do you want to participate in this project? I heard it counts for academic credit. In the future, whether you want to be recommended for grad school or write a resume, it’ll be a high-quality experience to list.” Xue Xingqi said with a smile.

“Really?” Chen Bin first looked at Pei Nan. Seeing him expressionless, he turned back to Xue Xingqi. “How about I give it a try first?”

“Let’s add each other as friends first. When the time comes and you want to join, I’ll save a spot for you.”

Pei Nan just watched his roommate and Xue Xingqi “colluding” right in front of him. He curled his lips and continued eating his rice.

He neatly lined up the shredded carrots and green peppers on the edge of the plate. Xue Xingqi saw this clearly from beside him; this habit of not eating carrots was exactly the same as Xiao Zhi’s.

Thinking of Xiao Zhi, Xue Xingqi couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

He forced his mind back to the person beside him, only to discover that Pei Nan’s state was somewhat tense.

Xue Xingqi didn’t want to make Pei Nan uncomfortable because of himself. He finished his meal quickly and left on the pretext of having things to do.

Once he left, Pei Nan finally relaxed. He looked left and right, and feeling the environment was safe, said to Chen Bin, “You better be careful of that ‘big-tailed wolf’ Xue Xingqi. Don’t let him sell you off while you’re still counting the money for him.”

At this moment, Chen Bin had already finished browsing Xue Xingqi’s Moments. Good grief, that wasn’t an ordinary circle of friends; it was a “God-tier Student’s Gallery of Honors.” Moreover, the other party had chosen photos that were subtle and not flashy. Hearing Pei Nan speak of his new idol this way, Chen Bin immediately stood up for Xue Xingqi: “What could he possibly want from me? Brother Nan, do you have some kind of misunderstanding about God Xue?”

“What did you call him?”

“God Xue. Just look at his Moments and you’ll know how badass he is. Even if I started studying in my last life, I wouldn’t necessarily be able to win this many awards. I’m truly throwing myself at his feet in admiration.”

Pei Nan also took out his phone and clicked on Xue Xingqi’s Moments.

Coming face-to-face with him was actually a photo of a lop-eared rabbit, placed boldly on the cover of the Moments page.

Scrolling down, there were photos of the lop-eared rabbit’s daily life from half a month ago.

Drinking water, eating, sleeping Pei Nan didn’t even know when Xue Xingqi had taken them. This pervert! And he dared to say he wasn’t a “big-tailed wolf.”

Pei Nan’s face turned red with embarrassment. Chen Bin thought he was furious.

“Brother Nan, Father Nan, don’t be angry. Comparing people only leads to death. Look on the bright side; you are just as excellent!”

Pei Nan slammed Xue Xingqi’s Moments shut, looking at Chen Bin with eyes that seemed ready to stab someone.

Chen Bin received the signal, made a gesture of zipping his mouth shut, and didn’t speak, only offering a tiny smile.

In the afternoon at the swim center, Pei Nan went by himself. Chen Bin went back to the dorm to gather relevant materials; although Xue Xingqi could give him a “backdoor” entry, how could he bring shame to the God Xue he admired? Thus, he worked hard.

Pei Nan irritably pretended to kick him, which Chen Bin distorted into a sign of jealousy.

“Jealous my ass! I’m the athlete here!”

When he arrived, he found that there were quite a few people in the swim center today. Many were gathered around the stands. Pei Nan looked once, then twice. Watching from a distance, the person surrounded in the middle seemed to be Xue Xingqi.

After a while, he saw the other man push through the crowd and walk over.

“Pei Nan, come over and register your information with me.”

Xue Xingqi’s gaze was upright and his request was reasonable, so Pei Nan had no choice but to follow him. They twisted and turned through the building, arriving at an office that was quite familiar to Pei Nan.

Xue Xingqi told him to sit anywhere. Seeing him look at a silk banner on the wall, he even offered an explanation.

“It was like this when we moved in. At that time, there were dusty footprints on the floor; it looked like a small animal had accidentally made them.”

Pei Nan laughed awkwardly twice. He had just realized what he had forgotten he had forgotten to pick up the custom-made silk banner he had ordered for the man!
