Shocking! The Protagonist of the Mpreg Story Is a Straight Man - Chapter 27

On the awards podium, Pei Nan stood at the highest point.

His high-spirited appearance was captured in countless photographs. Seeing him holding a bouquet and grinning with a mouth full of white teeth, Xue Xingqi felt his own mood brighten. He couldn’t help but sincerely hope that Pei Nan would always be this happy and carefree.

Beside Pei Nan were the teammates he had set out with for this competition who were also his competitors. They embraced and encouraged each other, completing their preliminary rounds under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

Ten youthful, nervous faces, bearing the honor of both their school and themselves, were about to do their utmost in the coming days to protect the glory that belonged to them.

Those in the team who hadn’t been selected weren’t discouraged; instead, they enthusiastically greeted everyone to arrange a celebratory dinner. Despite everyone’s warm attempts to make her stay, Pei Nan’s mother insisted on leaving early, leaving the joyful and free “home field” to the young people.

Clutching the small medal in his hand, Pei Nan happily ran toward Chen Bin and Xue Xingqi. He briefly forgot his previous inner turmoil, wanting only to enjoy this night with his friends.

“The medal looks good, right? There will be even better-looking ones in the future!”

“Of course, you will have the best ones.”

Xue Xingqi’s gaze was burning. Being watched like that, Pei Nan felt the surrounding air temperature rising. Fortunately, someone nearby called him over to take a few more photos; otherwise, Pei Nan really wouldn’t have known how to continue the conversation.

Once they reached the hotel, the dishes were served immediately. The room full of young people devoured the food like a whirlwind, and only after they were half-full did they feel like chatting and laughing.

Xue Xingqi sat next to Pei Nan. While talking to others, he introduced the delicious dishes to Pei Nan. He had booked this hotel with the intention that if it got too late after dinner, they could just go upstairs to sleep, saving time and effort. Moreover, since it was his own family’s property, it was safe and reliable.

“This roast duck was learned from an old master in Beijing. Try it; it perfectly replicates the Beijing flavor.”

“This dish selects the freshest part of the fish, prepared using the poached method. It melts in your mouth with a sweet aftertaste.”

“Eat for yourself, I can get my own food,” Pei Nan said. He was no longer like before, able to remain immune to Xue Xingqi’s gaze and actions. He knew clearly that Xue Xingqi was watching him and taking care of him.

Xue Xingqi smiled upon hearing this and didn’t push further. “Alright, then if you want anything else later, we can add more dishes.”

The dishes he had introduced were indeed the hotel’s specialties. Even those who hadn’t heard the introduction knew to reach out with their chopsticks. After the turntable made a full circle, there was basically nothing left by the time it reached Pei Nan again.

“Mm,” Pei Nan nodded, holding his bowl and taking a few bites of rice.

Just as Xue Xingqi sat up straight, he was pulled into a conversation by someone on his other side. While chewing his food, Pei Nan couldn’t help but peek at Xue Xingqi a few times.

In all fairness, Xue Xingqi was very handsome the kind of handsome everyone would admit to seeing. His temperament had a steadiness that far exceeded his peers, and he had a great personality with strong tolerance. Being his partner would likely provide a great sense of security.

“Is there something on my face?” Xue Xingqi was drawn back by his gaze.

“Should I say there is?” Pei Nan smiled. “There is a lot of handsomeness and talent.”

As soon as he said it, he felt cringed out by his own words. What kind of cheesy pick-up line was that? He laughed more and more exaggeratedly, nearly losing his breath from laughing so hard.

Xue Xingqi watched him tenderly from the side. Seeing that he was laughing so hard he was about to cough, he hurriedly reached out to pat his back. “Alright, alright, that’s enough laughing. Any more and your body will feel uncomfortable.”

Tears were coming out of Pei Nan’s eyes from laughing. “No, I need to go to the restroom.”

As soon as he stood up, Chen Bin stood up as well.

“I’m going to the restroom, what are you doing?”

“I… I’m going too.” Chen Bin glanced at Xue Xingqi and replied.

The two walked together. As they passed another table, several others joined in. In the end, a group of about ten people marched out together.

Only then did Xue Xingqi lean back in his chair and relax. There is strength in numbers; it would deter many mindless people from sticking around. He sent another message to the hotel manager and security personnel, telling them to keep an eye on these young people.

Pei Nan was waiting outside after washing his hands. Just as Xue Xingqi called to ask if he wanted to add more dishes, a gust of fragrant wind drifted past his nose a very fresh and vast scent. Pei Nan didn’t pay much attention until a strand of silky black hair landed on his phone screen.

Wait?

What was going on? Wasn’t the women’s restroom next door?

Remembering that many of his teammates were still inside the stalls, Pei Nan immediately looked up and spoke to stop the person in front of him. “Um, the women’s restroom is next door.”

In his field of vision, that person was quite tall, with jet-black long hair falling to the waist. The body was wrapped in a dress, and the slender calves were glowing white. When the person turned around, it was a glamorous face that perfectly matched the figure. Pei Nan was stunned for a moment; he felt like he had seen this person before.

Luo Xin looked Pei Nan up and down. Memories from a few months ago suddenly surged look at that, wasn’t this the little rabbit that had escaped from the “inescapable net” he had laid out?

“I’m sorry, I was looking at my phone just now and didn’t notice I walked into the wrong one. Thank you for the reminder.” Luo Xin changed his mind almost instantly. Every step he took toward Pei Nan made his blood boil. He even felt this was a fate bestowed by heaven; otherwise, how could another one deliver himself to the door right after he had finished playing with his previous boy?

And this was one who looked like he could endure a lot of “use.”

Pei Nan felt inexplicably flustered. He waved his hand. “It’s nothing, it’s nothing.”

He looked toward the inner room, wondering why Chen Bin and the others weren’t out yet. Were their kidneys that bad at such a young age? He didn’t realize that his evasive posture made him look even more like a lamb with nowhere to hide in Luo Xin’s eyes.

“Classmate, are you a student at the nearby university?” Luo Xin pointed to the logo on Pei Nan’s pants. “I graduated from that university too.”

“Really?” Pei Nan never wanted to be rude to a girl. Since Luo Xin wanted to chat at the restroom entrance, he engaged in a bit of small talk.

Fortunately, Chen Bin and the others weren’t too ridiculous; the group came out with their arms around each other’s shoulders. Seeing them, Pei Nan felt relieved. He raised his hand and said, “My friends are here, I’m heading back too.”

Feeling uncomfortable communicating with a strange girl was a rare feeling for Pei Nan. He didn’t have time to think deeply and just wanted to leave quickly. However, “pig teammates” are always “pig teammates.” The team members who hadn’t been selected had been drinking quite a bit after all, they had been holding back for a long time. Seeing a beauty talking to Pei Nan, how could they not play wingman?

“Don’t go yet! Chat a bit more, it’s good to get some air.”

“Yeah, yeah, we’ll go back first. You guys keep talking.”

Chen Bin wanted to pull Pei Nan away, but he was gagged and carried off by his companions.

Luo Xin smiled and lowered his head, looking exactly like a girl feeling shy in front of someone she liked. Seeing this, the teammates walked even faster, wanting to leave space for the two of them. Pei Nan still wanted to leave, but just as he opened his mouth to speak, Luo Xin grabbed his wrist.

It was only then that Pei Nan noticed Luo Xin’s height.

Tall, long hair, glamorous, beautiful dress… isn’t this the “cross-dressing top” setting from those novels?

No wonder the other party entered the men’s restroom he was a man!

Pei Nan suddenly remembered his previous experience of being drugged and turned into a “rabbit.” He had reported that bar afterward and tried to search for news related to Luo Xin. However, the other party hid too well; he couldn’t touch the core secrets of that circle at all, and thus had no way to bring down this demon in human skin.

“Let go of me!” Previously, Pei Nan was wary because he thought the other party was a woman and didn’t dare to use force. Now, knowing they both had the same “equipment,” he instantly used a technique to block Luo Xin.

Luo Xin narrowed his eyes and gave a playful smile. “What, did you remember me?”

His voice was no longer hidden. He tossed his satin-like hair behind him and approached Pei Nan haughtily. “I’ll give you a chance: come with me on your own and suffer less. You’ll get benefits beyond your imagination later. If you don’t come, I can’t guarantee you’ll return in one piece. Look at these developed chest muscles; it must feel great to rub against them. And your waist is so thin… I wonder if it will bulge out if I thrust into you?”

Pei Nan looked at Luo Xin in shock, feeling incredibly disgusted that Luo Xin could say these things with a straight face.

“It’s useless even if you record the audio. Oh, video won’t work either.” Luo Xin blocked Pei Nan’s path fearlessly, forcing him back step by step.

Damn it, a wise man doesn’t fight when the odds are against him. I should run first and find Xue Xingqi.

Pei Nan’s thoughts were seen clearly by Luo Xin. Almost every lamb he hunted went through this phase, only to be pinned down under his palm and toyed with at will. He sneered and kicked Pei Nan’s power-generating calf more quickly than Pei Nan could react.

“Ugh!”

The strike hit a vital spot. Pei Nan was instantly drenched in cold sweat from the pain. He bent over to clutch his calf as waves of aching pain spread through his body.

Luo Xin squatted down gracefully and lifted Pei Nan’s chin with one hand. “See? This is what happens when you refuse the easy way. You’re an athlete; you can’t afford to get injured randomly, can you?”

Pei Nan’s face was being pinched, making it impossible to dodge. He didn’t even have the heart to hide; he was focused on gathering his strength so he could violently push Luo Xin down and give him a beating.

“Yes, exactly this stubborn expression. The more you resist, the more excited I get. I love it so much.” Luo Xin yanked Pei Nan’s chin toward him. “Let me test if this mouth of yours is as hard as your backbone.”

“Is that so? I’ll have a look at your backbone too.”

Xue Xingqi, who had rushed over, kicked Luo Xin over. The people he brought with him immediately shielded Pei Nan.

Luo Xin looked up and saw Xue Xingqi. He glanced at Pei Nan, who was surrounded by bodyguards. The smile on his face gradually vanished, and his gaze became like a venomous snake crawling in the shadows. “Xue Xingqi, what is the meaning of this?”

“He is my person. If you dare touch a single finger of his, I will make sure you know the meaning of regret. Do you understand that?”

Xue Xingqi’s cold and solemn expression proved his firm stance.

Luo Xin gave a sarcastic smile. “Your person? What do you mean by ‘your person’? Does he get in your bed? He doesn’t look gay to me.”

“We are friends! Our business is none of your business, you freak!” Pei Nan retorted without thinking. He wouldn’t let Xue Xingqi be troubled by Luo Xin.

Xue Xingqi had long ago mastered the ability to hide his emotions. Hearing this, his eyebrows didn’t even twitch, as if he didn’t care at all how Pei Nan defined their relationship.

Luo Xin, however, wanted to stir up trouble. He looked at Xue Xingqi provocatively. “A friendship can’t stop me. You can’t be inseparable forever. Just like today, there will always be a time when he is alone. And what method are you going to use to pressure me? Even as the heir of the Xue family, you can’t just change the board of directors’ decisions at will. Your threat is just a blank check.”

“I think you’ve really been at leisure for too long. You’ve forgotten the laws of the country and the roots of your Luo family. Since you don’t believe me, feel free to try.”

Xue Xingqi gave a faint smile, yet it made Luo Xin feel an indescribable sense of danger.
