Susu, who was deeply immersed in the melodramatic "Dominant CEO Chasing His Wife Fire Cremation Ground" storyline, suddenly heard a clear and magnetic male voice by her ear.

Instinctively, she looked up and followed the direction of the voice.

In that instant, her heart skipped a beat.

He was standing at the boundary between shadow and light in the booth, wearing a caramel-colored turtleneck sweater that seemed to absorb all the surrounding light, making him look warm and profound.

His features were handsome, and his figure tall and upright.

His aura was so clean it was almost unreal.

At this moment, he was looking at the formidable Yanqing with a serious expression.

So... so handsome!

Susu’s mind screamed wildly.

But even more shocking was the reaction of the mighty Yanqing beside him.

Just moments ago, she had been commanding and full of authority like a leading lady, but now her face was full of panic, as if she were about to die.

Susu’s brain raced at lightning speed, and an incredibly cliché but perfectly reasonable thought exploded in her mind!

Her eyes quickly scanned the newcomer:

A straight nose bridge, thin but well-shaped lips, a distinct jawline, sparkling starry eyes, and—

those clearly defined knuckles, truly perfect comic book hands!

Damn! Everything matched!

(0H0)!!

Could this... could this really be the so-called "ideal warm-hearted male classmate," the "second male lead"?!

He... he came looking for the mighty Yanqing, happened to overhear them talking about "Dominant CEO," and got caught red-handed?!

As far as she knew, this "warm-hearted classmate" was extremely jealous.

He was full of possessiveness toward mighty Yanqing!

Recalling Yanqing’s earlier words, Susu was dumbfounded.

Oh my god! Am I witnessing the latest plot twist in the story firsthand?!

What will happen next?

Cold war, breakup, chasing wife fire cremation ground, dominant CEO seizing the opportunity...

Just as Susu’s inner drama reached episode thirty, Xu Qing finally snapped out of her petrified state.

With a sudden “bang,” she stood up from the sofa.

Because her movement was too fierce, she nearly knocked over the wine glass on the table.

"You... you, you, you... why are you here?!" Her voice was sharp and thin, and she hunched her neck.

Completely losing her previous leading lady demeanor, she looked like a frightened little white rabbit.

"Me?" Tang Song raised his eyebrows and said with interest, "Why can’t I be here? This livehouse seems to be mine anyway."

Hearing this, Susu’s eyes instantly lit up like two thousand-watt headlights!

Oh my god! It really is him! It really is him!

The "gentle second male lead" who spent a fortune to buy the entire film base for Yanqing’s dream!

After chasing the story in the group for almost a year, she finally saw the character that made her heart flutter the most!

Excitedly, she stood up from the sofa, hesitant to speak, looking at Tang Song.

She wanted to say something but was a little afraid.

The aura of a real person was just... too strong!

Tang Song’s gaze shifted from Yanqing to Susu beside her.

A warm and friendly smile appeared on his face. "Hello, I’m Tang Song."

Susu was instantly flattered and awkwardly said, "You... hello! My name is Yan Susu, I’m... I’m a net friend of Sister Yanqing."

At the moment of shaking hands, she clearly felt that his palm was wide and warm.

Just as Yanqing described him in the group...

Xu Qing looked at this "harmonious and friendly" first meeting scene and felt a chill on her scalp and coldness in her limbs.

She knew this time she was truly doomed!

Once they started talking deeply, all her secrets would be exposed!

Susu would know she had been bluffing and talking nonsense all along.

And Tang Song... would know all her dark history and unspeakable "fantasies"!

Miss Xu Qing’s high-class status would be completely destroyed, reduced to nothing more than a street stray!

(No... no...)

Please! Yanyan, save me!

Sob sob~~

"Th-that..." Xu Qing’s mind was in chaos. She glanced at Susu, who had completely turned starry-eyed, and tried to explain with a forced smile, "Listen to me, just now... I..."

She stammered, unable to make any sense.

No matter how she explained, this time it was hopeless.

At that moment, Tang Song suddenly turned his head and looked back at Xu Qing.

The gentle smile was gone, replaced by an expression that was chilling and carried a "hurt" feeling.

He spoke slowly, his voice low, "So, when I’m not around, you still think about him, right? Well, you two have been together for so long and gone through so much."

He paused, glanced at the wine glass on the table, and his tone carried a hint of self-mockery.

"That Gu Peisi, it seems like he really left a deep impression on you."

Boom—!!!

Xu Qing’s brain completely crashed!

How... how did he know the name of the male lead in my novel?!

And those lines, aren’t they from their big fight?

He’s read my novel?!

I'='A)!?

Ahhhh!

All those... those intimate scenes in the book where she projected herself and Tang Song...

Did he see everything?!

An unprecedented, ultimate terror surged from her coccyx straight to her crown!

This was a thousand times more terrifying than being caught bluffing on the spot!

It’s over... this time it’s really over... I’m dead!

Beside her, Susu, hearing the human ideal "warm-hearted male classmate" say such jealous and sorrowful words, felt her heart shatter in pain!

Just as expected! Just as expected!

The "second male lead" is jealous!

Ahhh! Is this the battlefield of love?! So thrilling!

How will mighty Yanqing soothe him?

But come to think of it, this whole thing seems to have started because of me.

I was the one who gossiped about some "ex-boyfriend"!

What if their quarrel escalates and they break up?

Won’t I become the villain who destroyed this divine couple?!

More importantly, now that I’ve just grabbed mighty Yanqing’s golden thigh, what if she takes her anger out on me...

Thinking of this, Susu shivered violently, her survival instinct maxed out,

"Warm-hearted... no, Tang Song bro! That was my fault just now! It’s me... I was pestering Sister Yanqing, asking about her past and said some inappropriate things! Sister Yanqing only has you in her heart, really!"

Tang Song still looked "hurt," his eyes deeply sorrowful as he stared at Xu Qing.

"Forget it. Some things don’t need to be said too clearly."

Xu Qing’s rosy lips parted, dumbfounded.

("°°)

Tang Song held back a laugh and continued the act for her.

He had read Xu Qing’s book "Wrong Room, Then Picked Up the Dominant CEO."

Because it involved himself, it was especially exciting.

So, whether it was the main story or the extra scenes, he had read many and occasionally even gave tips.

At this moment, he was directly cosplaying as "Tang Song" from the novel.

This feeling was particularly fun.

After all, from the beginning, it was Xu Qing’s whimsical, sometimes role-playing, interesting soul that attracted his strong interest.

After they really got together, she actually started to restrain herself, feeling like something was missing.

"It’s not like that! It’s all a misunderstanding!" Susu looked at the "male lead’s" hurt expression, almost crying in desperation.

While explaining, she frantically gave mighty Yanqing meaningful looks.

Seeing no reaction, she couldn’t help but kick her foot.

Xu Qing suddenly jolted and gradually woke from her daze.

She took a deep breath, forced out a smile even more awkward than crying, and grabbed Tang Song’s arm.

Pleading, she said, "You... come with me for a moment. I have some work stuff I want to discuss with you alone!"

Although she was already in a vulnerable state, in front of her little fan and little trinket Yan Susu, she still tried to maintain her dignity.

Tang Song looked at her deeply, then politely nodded at the nervous Susu before following Xu Qing toward the corridor on the second floor.

Xu Qing led him twisting and turning, finally stopping at a door marked "STAFF ONLY."

She pushed Tang Song inside with a "bang," then shut the door.

The room’s lighting was dim, piled with many discarded props and clutter.

"I was wrong!" As soon as the door closed, Xu Qing almost immediately slid to her knees, her voice trembling with sobs, "I won’t dare again!"

Tang Song looked at her pitiful appearance and couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

He reached out, gently pinched her chin, lifting her face up, his tone full of teasing, "I saw you were quite bold in your novel."

"God have mercy, I only had you as a boyfriend! I haven’t even held hands with anyone else!"

"Oh? All fabricated?"

"Y-yes, yes!" Xu Qing nodded rapidly.

"Hehe, then... what about those extra scenes? You were very conservative when you were with me, but the extra content..."

"Ah! I don’t know what you’re talking about!" Xu Qing suddenly covered her face, screaming, and crouched in the corner.

Shivering with her back to him.

Tang Song leaned close and whispered in her ear, "Yanqing, you still dare to lie and even fabricate ex-boyfriends in front of net friends. I’m very angry now, and the consequences are serious."

Xu Qing trembled, stiffly raised her head, her big black eyes beginning to redden, "I, I, I... was wrong..."

"If apologizing worked, then why would we need the police?"

"Th-then what do you want? I won’t dare again." Her voice was filled with grievance.

Tang Song’s hand slid down her spine and finally landed on her round little butt, giving a moderate pat.

"What do you say?"

Xu Qing seemed electrocuted, screamed, quickly stood up, and tightly covered her butt with both hands, shaking her head hard, "No! No! Absolutely not!"

There had been several painful cases before, too shameful!

Of course, what she feared most was that if Tang Song got carried away, what if he treated her like that pervert Little Jing?

Crawling on the ground like a little animal, being scolded by Tang Song, and forced to shout "private massage."

Maybe even being recorded and sent to Little Jing for "appreciation!"

That would be the end of her!

She was definitely not like the perverted Little Jing!

(ToT)/~~~

Tang Song stood up and smiled, "Then let’s go out now, have a proper talk with Susu, and by the way tell others about your writing."

"No way!" Xu Qing immediately broke down, grabbing Tang Song’s shirt corner and compromising, "Th-then how many hits do you want to give?"

Tang Song looked at her and slowly extended one palm.

Xu Qing slightly relaxed and weakly said, "Fifty hits? Okay... but promise not too hard."

"What are you thinking?" Tang Song’s smile turned dangerous, "This time is different from last time."

Xu Qing’s big black eyes widened, her voice changed pitch, "W-what do you mean?"

"Five hundred hits."

Xu Qing screamed and burst into tears.

Five hundred hits?!

Is this trying to beat me to death?!

Terrifying scenes flashed in her mind: swollen red buttocks, chairs she couldn’t sit on, and a miserable life forced to work lying down...

Seeing his drama queen girlfriend cry, Tang Song felt a bit troubled, "Okay, okay, no more crying. I’ll give you less."

Xu Qing immediately stopped crying, sniffled, and looked at him with teary eyes, "H-how many then?"

"Four hundred ninety-nine."

"Waaahhh—" The crying started again, this time with a sharp tremble.

O(TTTT)O

"…Then how many do you want?"

Xu Qing stopped crying instantly, bit her lip, hesitated, then timidly held up two fingers, then added five more, carefully saying, "Two hundred fifty?"

"Alright, then two hundred fifty hits." Tang Song had just wanted to tease her and didn’t really mean to hurt her.

Xu Qing instantly regretted shouting so much earlier, feeling she should have at least tried for two hundred! Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novelfire(.)net

She wiped her tears and quietly bargained, "Promise you won’t hit all at once, I can’t take it otherwise."

"Don’t worry, I won’t." Tang Song’s mouth curved into a mischievous smile.

Looking at Xu Qing’s crying, tear-streaked face, he pressed her against the cold wall,

One hand supporting near her ear, the other slowly sliding down.

Xu Qing groaned softly, her cheeks flushed red, "What are you doing..."

"I’ll give you ten hits first, to teach you a lesson."

"Ah! No! This is... a bar!" Xu Qing struggled in panic.

Tang Song ignored her resistance, one hand holding her waist, the other lifting her coat.

"Shhhk—"

The sound of the zipper opening echoed clearly in the quiet little room.

Feeling her tight skirt being pulled down, a chill ran through Xu Qing’s body, "Hey! What are you doing?!"

"Feeling the fabric isn’t as good as feeling the punishment."

"I don’t want it!"

Tang Song leaned close to her ear, calmly saying, "Yanqing, you don’t want others to know about those steamy stories you write, do you?"

Xu Qing instantly stopped struggling, frozen in place.

The next second, a warm comic book hand landed.

The crisp sound began to echo in the small space.

When Xu Qing returned to the VIP booth, more than ten minutes had passed.

She had rearranged her emotions and makeup.

But there was still a suspicious flush on her face.

Her eyes were a little evasive and vacant.

"Sister Yanqing! You’re back!" Susu immediately rushed over, anxious and concerned. "How is it? Did Brother Tang Song forgive you? What’s the situation between you two now?"

Xu Qing shook her head without speaking, just picked up the wine glass on the table and finished the remaining half cup of cocktail in one gulp.

The whole gesture exuded an aloof aura, as if warning strangers to stay away, wounded deep in heart.

Susu didn’t dare say anything else, sensing something serious had happened.

It’s over! It’s over!

Because of this plot twist, mighty Yanqing might really have a change of heart with her warm-hearted classmate!

Didn’t she see Tang Song didn’t follow her back?

Then she keenly noticed that Yanqing’s sitting posture was a bit strange.
