- Chapter 3 - The Morality Bind
Xie Chouqiu was undoubtedly the most abnormal person in this world.
Su Ren didn’t know if the Xie Chouqiu before him was the real one or the version from the book, because even in reality, Su Ren understood him less and less. Most people’s behavior followed a certain logic, but Xie Chouqiu’s never did. No one could guess what kind of circuitry ran through that madman’s brain.
For instance, six months ago in the real world, the Chemistry Department was hiring a temporary lecturer for General Chemistry. The pay was average and the requirements were low, essentially a contract position without tenure. Yet Xie Chouqiu had resolutely resigned from his perfectly good military job to come to their school. He had fought through all obstacles to win the position, taking a job that had absolutely nothing to do with his previous career.
However, in this transmigration system, Xie Chouqiu’s madness seemed different.
The tall, handsome young man gazed at him with deep eyes, though his tone remained nonchalant. “Why did you hang up on me?”
Su Ren frowned. “I had to teach. What does it matter if I hung up?”
Xie Chouqiu pondered for a moment, his gaze darkening. “You never used to hang up on me.”
Su Ren said coldly, “Do I need to remind you that we haven’t spoken on the phone for ten years? You weren’t this boring back then.”
Xie Chouqiu’s brow knit as if he were genuinely confused. “What ten years?”
Seeing his shock, Su Ren’s voice remained flat. “You were the one who deleted the contact info, not me.”
Upon hearing this, Xie Chouqiu froze for a long time before finally smiling. He used his index finger to gently press against Su Ren’s lips, softly stroking the supple skin. In the next second, he pressed his knuckle into Su Ren’s mouth and said in a low voice, “This pretty mouth of yours is getting better and better at talking nonsense, Su Ren.”
Su Ren bit down hard. A thick taste of blood mixed with a fresh scent of lemon filled his mouth. Blood from Xie Chouqiu’s fingertip trickled down the corner of Su Ren’s lips. Yet, instead of being angry, the man who had his finger bitten seemed even more excited. His misty blue eyes sparkled with a look that resembled a gloomy pervert.
Xie Chouqiu used his thumb to pry at Su Ren’s straight, white lower teeth. He leaned in as if to kiss Su Ren’s lips, but instead, he simply licked the blood off his own knuckle.
“So sweet,” he commented.
“You… lunatic.”
Su Ren’s handsome, refined face held a natural, dignified authority.
Xie Chouqiu looked at him with infatuation and laughed, “Since that’s the case, stay tied up by this lunatic and reflect on why you married one.”
With that, Xie Chouqiu left without untying the ropes.
At the same time, the loli voice in Su Ren’s head spoke up again. “Eh? Such a simple task and he hasn’t finished? He just tied you up and ran?”
The voice introduced itself: “Hello! Sorry for being abrupt earlier! Let me formally introduce myself. I am Song Di. Just a friendly reminder, you have officially interfaced with the [Second World · Scum/Cheap System]”
Su Ren knit his brows warily as Song Di continued, “Xie Chouqiu is a subconscious transmigration, while you are a conscious one. All other characters are just System NPC tools. Since the male lead Xie Chouqiu’s subconscious isn’t very obedient, it took the system three days to hook him in. So, sorry, your mission start time was delayed by three days.”
Su Ren thought of the novel title Su Ren is a Little Sweet Omega. Judging by the name, shouldn’t he be the unlucky male lead?
Song Di heard his thoughts and said as if it were obvious, “He is Male Lead No. 1, and you are Male Lead No. 0, my dear pretty baby~”
Su Ren: “…”
Su Ren’s cold brows furrowed deeply. “So, Xie Chouqiu also transmigrated? What do you mean by ‘subconscious’?”
“As the actual protagonist, you are the true transmigrator. All your actions are controlled by your brain, and you are in a coma in the real world. As for Xie Chouqiu, because he needs to ‘do’ it with you, the system felt using a mere tool would be inhumane. Therefore, his subconscious was brought in. His actions are controlled by both the [System] and his [Subconscious], but he himself is not in a coma in the real world!”
Song Di continued, “Ahem, now I formally announce the serialization of Su Ren is a Little Sweet Omega. Recording the identity card now!”
Su Ren watched as a mirror appeared on the white wall. It looked like a character card from a game with a human-shaped silhouette in the middle, so his own reflection fit perfectly into the space:
Identity Card · Name · Selected Work Transmigrator: Su Ren Work: Su Ren is a Little Sweet Omega
Before Transmigration | After Transmigration Height: 178cm | 178cm Weight: 62kg | 62kg Gender: BETA | OMEGA
Su Ren’s clean, pale face and exquisite features looked extraordinarily beautiful in the mirror. The beautiful young man blinked, watching the golden text above his head fade and disappear. Then, something new was pasted where his name had been.
Private Drafts · Su Ren is a Little Sweet Omega · (Personal View Only)
[Author]: I love Professor Su so much. Even though he always gives me a 59%, I still like him best. I want to write a story!
Su Ren: “?”
After half a second, Su Ren went from confused to icy cold. So a student wrote this. No wonder the setting involved him and Xie Chouqiu. Instead of studying, a student wrote this kind of thing… they truly needed some serious education.
The loli voice cleared its throat: “Identity verification complete! Information loading complete! Text info will be sent to the Scum/Cheap App, you can check it on your phone later. Now, I’m going to issue the system mission! Your first main task is: Seduce Xie Chouqiu and make him kiss you once of his own accord.”
Su Ren: Who kisses whom?
Song Di: “He kisses you, of course. Though if you want to kiss him, the system has no objections.”
Su Ren: “…”
He didn’t have the energy to deal with the banter and asked expressionlessly, “Are there rewards or punishments?”
Song Di: “Success brings rewards. The system will deposit credits into your real-world health account. For example, curing years of cervical spondylosis would be easy. For every two completed missions, you can make a request for a tangible benefit! You could even ask for an apartment in the real world!”
“But if the mission fails, there will be punishments! For instance, if you fail, the real-world Xie Chouqiu will lose 50cc of blood all at once. He won’t die in a day or two, but the punishments will escalate.”
Su Ren pondered for a while and asked, “Why is Xie Chouqiu punished if I fail?”
Song Di: “Because the subconscious Xie Chouqiu has missions too. If his mission fails, you are the one who loses blood in the real world. After strictly screening transmigrators, we found that you both care deeply for others but neglect your own health. Therefore, the system swapped the failure punishments.”
Su Ren: This system was an expert at moral kidnapping.
Song Di: “Hehe, you flatter me. Isn’t this for the sake of your health? Our Second World might be smutty, dogblood, and trashy, but it’s very gentle. Once you finish all the main missions, you can go back.”
Su Ren remained silent for a long time. Blood loss, being knocked out and transmigrated, forced sexual plots… what part of this was “gentle”?
Song Di concluded, “Alright, the text for Su Ren is a Little Sweet Omega has been sent to the app on your phone. I remember your setting is: an ice block on the surface, but actually an Omega pretending to be a Beta. You love to cry, make a scene, and act incredibly spoiled.”
Su Ren had six dots to offer in response: “…”
His refined face was cold and stern, like the snow on a mountain. To think that in his students’ eyes, he was actually like this. Even 59% was too high a grade for them.
“Oh right, because you fell into a coma after transmigrating, the girl writing the story was very worried and lost the heart to write. She stopped updating and even cleared out her draft folder. Fortunately, our system recorded everything and ‘lovingly’ adapted it. The level of adaptation is about the same as a novel being turned into a movie.”
Su Ren blinked. “Meaning they have nothing in common?”
Song Di: “Hiss, not exactly. At least the names and character settings are the same”
Su Ren: “…”
