The Male Leads Who Are Becoming Stranger and Stranger [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 8

Chapter 8

The clicking of high heels slowly echoed against the ground, drawing closer from the distance.

Finally, appearing in She Yi’s line of sight was a charming woman.

She had large, wavy brown curls and wore a luxurious purple qipao that hugged her exquisite, curvaceous figure, revealing two long, snowy-white thighs. Her delicate melon-seed face was adorned with light makeup, and her phoenix eyes were bewitchingly seductive as they glanced around.

She walked with elegant, small steps, as if strolling through a noble’s ball.

Looking at her, She Yi momentarily forgot that he was in the midst of the filthy, chaotic apocalypse; his expression was dazed, perfectly fitting the current situation.

However, the surrounding men respectfully cleared a “path,” without showing a shred of the lecherous thoughts one should have upon seeing a beauty. Even the man who had just looked at She Yi with a face full of lewd intent was now trembling as he retreated to the side, his former bravado completely gone.

“My name is Sun Haiman.”

The woman brushed the brown curls at her chest and walked up to Jian Yan and She Yi, curving her lips into a very captivating smile.

Then, she moved to Jian Yan’s side. Her bone-soft hand rested lightly on his shoulder, and her breath was like orchids as she whispered:

“What cold eyes… become my man, shall we?”

This sudden, bold confession stunned the group of underlings nearby, and it equally stunned She Yi. However, he quickly reacted, hesitantly checking the expression of one of the parties involved. Jian Yan wasn’t angry, nor did he shake her off… She Yi continued to maintain his silence.

He flipped through the plot in his mind:

Sun Haiman, the leader of the protagonist’s harem, held the title of the “Femme Fatale.”

At the very start of the apocalypse, she obtained the precious Poison attribute ability. Originally from the underworld, she had formidable methods and quickly established her own power; currently, she was considered a local tyrant in City A.

In the plot whether in the previous life or this one her first conversation with the protagonist was as sharp as ever.

Next, for his own benefit, the protagonist should very wisely accept her, just as he did in his previous life.

“…No.”

The unexpected answer made She Yi lift his eyes slightly, only to see the protagonist sidestep, dodging the beauty’s attempt to throw herself into his arms.

“I don’t like ‘unclean’ women.”

Facing the threat of being pointed at by countless guns once again, Jian Yan’s performance remained unperturbed. His dark, sunken eyes made it impossible to read his thoughts.

“Kid, it’s your luck that our Sister Man took a fancy to you. Don’t be ungrateful!”

The man who had been so domineering earlier immediately jumped out, pointing at Jian Yan’s nose and cursing.

However, before the person being cursed could even spare him a glance, the man suddenly bent over in pain. Finally, he collapsed on the ground, twitching, as moldy-green spots broke out all over his body.

“My subordinate was rude, I hope the handsome guy doesn’t mind.”

Sun Haiman looked radiant with her smile, appearing quite beautiful and moving. But at the thought that she had laid low to a strong man in the blink of an eye, that smile couldn’t help but make one feel a bit of a chill.

From behind, She Yi tugged at Jian Yan’s clothes, intending to let him know not to make this woman angry. But he didn’t expect this small gesture to be caught by the “Femme Fatale.”

As if she had just noticed She Yi, her beautiful eyes lit up. She immediately moved to his side and repeated the action she had used on the protagonist.

“Little brother is so good-looking, even my older sister can’t control herself seeing you…”

She Yi’s whole body went stiff, his eyes casting a plea for help toward his best friend.

However, Jian Yan did not immediately help him out. He merely narrowed his eyes slightly, his cold gaze landing on She Yi’s shoulder specifically, on that bone-soft, snowy-white arm.

He felt a bit disgruntled.

At this time, feeling the warm breath on his neck and the woman’s faint fragrance swirling around him, She Yi’s gaze toward his friend was almost one of “weeping without tears.”

As a pure-hearted young boy who used to blush and get flustered just talking to girls, once her graceful body was almost pressed against him, She Yi was so stiff his breathing nearly stopped, his gorgeous face turning beet red.

“What is little brother’s name?”

Feeling a soft hand drawing circles on his chest, She Yi wanted to push it away immediately but didn’t dare, because he remembered the fate of the man just now. He could only answer in a low, submissive voice:

“She… She Yi…”

“Oh~ So it’s little brother She Yi… then what is his name?”

Following Sun Haiman’s indicated gaze, She Yi saw Jian Yan, whose face was somewhat dark.

“He is my best friend, Jian Yan…”

“Hehe, what a good boy. Sister will give you a reward.”

She Yi stared blankly as the beautiful face drew closer and closer, so close he could clearly see that there wasn’t a single pore on her snowy-white, delicate skin. She was smiling shallowly, the shifting gaze of her eyes enough to steal one’s soul.

Suddenly, She Yi felt himself being yanked hard, his body uncontrollably stumbling back several steps.

Sun Haiman’s kiss missed.

However, she didn’t mind. She was still smiling radiantly, charming in every gesture.

“Jian Yan… sharp and scorching flames, what a good name.”

She looked at the tall, handsome man before her, a trace of obsession flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Jian Yan’s gaze first swept over the surrounding group of people whose attitudes were clearly hostile, and finally landed on the woman in front of him. His black eyes narrowed dangerously.

“What is the meaning of this?”

Sun Haiman was startled by that hostility. She turned to look at her subordinates, her fine brows furrowed slightly.

“What are you all doing? Put your weapons down!”

No one dared to disobey the leader’s command.

“Hehe, I just saw that City A has welcomed new friends today, so I came to say hello. Believe me, I have no ill intent toward you. If you don’t mind, how about coming to my base as guests?”

This speech broke the tension of the current standoff. Sun Haiman extended a friendly invitation to Jian Yan.

Just when She Yi thought the other would agree, he was refused once again, quite unexpectedly.

“No need. We are fine here.”

His voice was very calm.

She Yi couldn’t help but look sideways slightly, feeling a bit surprised that the protagonist wasn’t following the script.

One must know that in the protagonist’s memories of his previous life, this woman had followed him since the start of the apocalypse, and later spent over a decade with him in a romantic haze. Furthermore, in the script for this life, he had also accepted her.

Has something quietly changed?

If that was the case, She Yi would have to think carefully about how to farm the protagonist’s favorability later. After all, the plot for this life currently in his hands was no longer reliable.

“To be honest, I’m very fond of you. If you agree to be with me, I can even give the base to you.”

Sun Haiman blinked, her index finger lightly tapping her red lips, completely disregarding the stunned expressions on the faces of her subordinates upon hearing this.

However, before they could recover from their shock, they were stunned once more by the next words.

“I don’t need it.”

The way the crowd looked at the indifferent youth was as if they were looking at a fool.

“I will build my own power. I don’t need to rely on a woman.”

The sharp-browed, handsome youth spoke thus.

Sun Haiman froze, but the infatuation in her eyes grew even more intense. She couldn’t help but reach out, seemingly wanting to touch the man who made her heart drum.

The outstretched hand met empty air, but she didn’t mind.

Under the gaze of the many underlings, she turned enchantingly and walked gracefully toward the door. Just as she was about to step out, she stopped, turned her body, and cast a sultry glance.

“I admire you very much. The base also welcomes you at any time.”

Then, the underlings all knew that this person named “Jian Yan” was someone not to be provoked, because he was the man Sister Man had taken a fancy to.

…

The group of armed men gradually withdrew from the two-story house and quickly disappeared into the residential complex. The air returned to silence.

“Xiao Yan…”

She Yi looked at him with some concern.

That woman was clearly someone not to be messed with at first glance, and now she had taken a fancy to Xiao Yan…

Jian Yan glanced at him. That gorgeous face was filled with worry and apprehension for him; those narrow brows were slightly furrowed, making him appear a bit unsure of what to do.

Jian Yan, who had originally intended to remain silent, inexplicably opened his mouth:

“No need to worry. That woman poses no threat to us.”

Watching the worry at the corners of the other’s brows gradually dissolve and the timid, shy smile reappear, Jian Yan furrowed his brow but said nothing more.

“Right, Xiao Yan, I’ve prepared some water for you. Do you want to wash up?”

Under She Yi’s expectant gaze, Jian Yan eventually took a set of clean clothes and walked into the bathroom.
