Zhou Yue Ze fought to help the housekeeper pack up and a cage full of little chicks were also prepared to be taken along. However, Xiang Han disdained them and refused to let them onto the car, not even allowing them in the car boot.
On the way back, Zhou Yue Ze would frequently steal glances at Xiang Han through the rearview mirror. A smile hung on his face and he nearly took the wrong route.
The housekeeper sitting beside him saw his expression and could not help shaking his head.
When they arrived back at the Jiang Family’s Villa, Zhou Yue Ze still felt as if he were in a dream. Upon entering, he busied himself for a long time, cleaning up Xiang Han’s room and even preparing his bathwater.
Xiang Han told him somewhat unnaturally, “This is not your job. If you have nothing better to do, you can return to the company.”
“There’s nothing at the company,” Zhou Yue Ze instinctively replied, then quickly explained, “What I meant was… there’s nothing important now, having Assistant Zhao there is enough to manage things.”
Seeing Xiang Han remain silent, he tried to ask, “How about you take a look after having a rest?”
“We’ll see,” Xiang Han did not answer him and instead, hugged the little cat with him into the bathroom.
Zhou Yue Ze was elated and quickly followed him.
Xiang Han suddenly turned around and Zhou Yue Ze also stopped in his tracks, dumbly explaining, “I’ve already prepared your clothes, they’re over there.”
Saying this, he used his fingers to point at them, causing black lines to appear on Xiang Han’s face. Was the bathroom so big that he couldn’t see that?
Speaking of which, this child had changed too much. When he first saw him, the other person was clearly smart, beautiful and proud, but now… Ah, why did he resemble a big dog?
Could it be that Big A was really right, it was his education method that was wrong?
He faked his calmness and nodded his head. Seeing that Zhou Yue Ze still had not left, he asked again, “What is it?”
Zhou Yue Ze’s palms were sweating and he asked nervously, “Sir since you are willing to come back, is it because… you’ve forgiven me?”
Xiang Han sunk into silence, then pretended to ponder deeply before speaking, “I’ve thought a lot about this lately. I feel that both of us shouldn’t have reached this stage, I’m already not young…”
Zhou Yue Ze hurriedly interrupted him, “You are only in your early 30s, it’s still very young. And appearance-wise, you look even younger.”
Xiang Han, “…”
“…Please continue.”
Xiang Han continued, “You’re still young, you will have many more opportunities, there’s no need to follow me…”
“But I only like you.” Zhou Yue Ze panicked.
Xiang Han was annoyed, “Can you let me finish?”
Zhou Yue Ze, “…”
“So I thought about it. If you insist, perhaps we can try it.” Xiang Han’s voice was cold but the tips of his ears were red.
He had already thought about it when he decided to return. Since it was the last time anyway, he would just go wild for a bit. That general won’t remember anything anyway. What did he have to fear? He could just treat them as two different people.
Zhou Yue Ze: ??? Happiness came too quickly, he was unable to catch it.
Xiang Han was stunned then grew annoyed. He touched his chin and asked, “You don’t want to?”
“Of course I want to.” Zhou Yue Ze instinctively nodded his head. When the realisation finally dawned on him, his eyes flashed with ecstasy and he quickly went forward to wrap him in a tight hug, extremely agitated. “S-Sir, are you serious? I didn’t mishear?”
“Me-ow!” The little kitten crushed between the two men instantly let out a pitiful shriek and struggled to free itself.
Zhou Yue Ze directly threw out the little thing that had spoiled their moment.
Xiang Han had just nodded his head and was instantly pulled into his embrace. Soon, there was a damp feeling against his neck, leaving him stunned. He slowly reached his hand up to hug the other person back.
After bathing, Zhou Yue Ze was still in his room. When he saw Xiang Han come out, he immediately broke out into a smile. He held a towel and wanted to help him dry his hair.
However, Xiang Han evaded him from a distance and frowned, “Shower before you come any closer.”
“Ah.” Zhou Yue Ze lowered the towel in his hands sadly and asked, “Then, can I shower here?”
Xiang Han Han hesitated for a moment before nodding his head.
Zhou Yue Ze’s mood immediately improved, but after he came out, Xiang Han’s hair was mostly dry, leaving him extremely disappointed.
Seeing him appear, Xiang Han pointed at the sofa at the side and gestured for him to take a seat before he started listing out some rules. “In the future, if you are with me, you must maintain a certain standard of cleanliness… to sum up, I have the final say in terms of our lifestyle, can you accept this?”
“I can,” Zhou Yue Ze nodded then quickly added, “All the decisions for the company will also be made by you.”
“Very good,” the corners of Xiang Han’s lips curved up before he forced himself to maintain his calm. “And now, I want you to strip and lie on the bed.”
“Oh…” Zhou Yue Ze froze. He instantly guessed what was happening and his eyes lit up like a hungry beast. He took off all his clothes in an instant, lying obediently on the bed with a face full of expectation.
Xiang Han inexplicably felt a chill, but thinking of the rules he had just set, his courage grew and he climbed onto the bed. He hooked up the other person’s chin and announced, “From today onwards, I’m on top and you’re on the bottom, understood?”
Zhou Yue Ze nodded like a woodpecker. So Jiang Han actually likes this position? Thinking of the other person taking the lead to sit on top and riding him, his cold and reserved face stained with lust, the thin waist dancing in his palms…
Zhou Yue Ze’s throat instantly felt painfully dry and he almost got a nosebleed. A certain part was also swelling painfully.
Xiang Han was satisfied and bent down to kiss the other person lightly. Ultimately, thinking of the saliva, he was still unable to put his tongue in, provoking Zhou Yue Ze’s desire to no end.
In the simulation space, the Marshal’s expression was one of hating iron for not becoming steel, “Why is he the one being pushed down?”
Little B: “Oh, Marshal, it’s time for us to turn on the censor already.”
The Marshal’s face reddened but he shook his head, “Wait a while more, I need to see who is the one on the bottom.”
Big A: “Cough, don’t worry, the General is definitely safe, because Mr. Xiang’s body… cannot do it. Also, if we don’t turn it off, once he knows…”
Xiang Han happily kissed him for a while before his hands slowly slid downwards. Zhou Yue Ze’s breathing also got rougher. Thinking of the sticky feeling, Xiang Han wrinkled his brows and directly ignored a certain part before heading for his rear.
Zhou Yue Ze had a bad feeling, this was a little different from the last time. But thinking of it, wasn’t his sir unable to get it up? The last time, they had relied on the drug in order to… unless he had recovered?
Zhou Yue Ze straightened his body and silently brought his hand to grip it, squeezing it firmly and gently massaging it. Xiang Han’s body went rigid and a moment later, there was no reaction.
Xiang Han’s face instantly reddened and he was roaring in his heart. How could he have forgotten that this body was impotent!
Zhou Yue Ze grasped his waist and pressed him downwards onto his own body, laughing, “Sir, it’s okay. You can still be on top this way.” His words were thick with hidden intentions.
Xiang Han had smashed his own foot with a rock, feeling regretful enough to die. He faked his calm and tried to pry away Zhou Yue Ze’s hands as he said, “We’ll stop here for today. I’m tired, you go out first.”
“Sir, but we haven’t done anything yet, how can you be tired?” Zhou Yue Ze asked innocently then grabbed the back of his head and firmly kissed him as if he wanted to occupy every inch of him.
Xiang Han’s eyes grew wide, his mind was constantly thinking of the saliva. Breaking free with much difficulty, he wanted to go and brush his teeth but just before he could escape, he was pulled back.
Zhou Yue Ze sincerely told him, “Sir, mysophobia is a serious psychological illness, I’ll help you treat it.”
When he finished saying those words, he immediately went in for another kiss. Xiang Han whimpered and by the time he was released, his eyes had already turned red, looking extremely pitiful.
“What sort of treatment is this?” Xiang Han held back his tears and complained.
“It’s a form of desensitisation therapy, Doctor Zhong recommended it.” Zhou Yue Ze did not give him time to react and immediately kissed the other person until he was dizzy and gasping for air. Taking advantage of when Xiang Han’s guard was down, that part of him rapidly expanded and he directly went in for the conquest.
Xiang Han cried out and fully experienced what it was like to be on top. But at this time, he did not have the energy to think about it, his entire mind was thinking, Zhou Yue Ze didn’t wear an umbrella(condom)!
“D-did you wash it properly? Next time you must scrub it, y-you’re not allowed to do it without a condom, not allowed…”
Zhou Yue Ze gritted his teeth, “At this time, Sir still has the energy to think about this. Looks like I haven’t been working hard enough!”
After saying this, his waist was like a violent thunderstorm, leaving Xiang Han panting for air and then gritting his teeth to prevent his cries from leaking out. After Zhou Yue Ze was satisfied, Xiang Han was still immersed in the unreal feelings, lying on the bed in a daze.
Afterwards, Zhou Yue Ze slid under the thin sheets and expanded a great deal of effort before making Xiang Han cry as he shot.
After Zhou Yue Ze emerged from under the sheets, he planted a kiss on the other person’s lips. Xiang Han had just recovered his senses and was immediately disgusted, “Isn’t it dirty?”
Saying this, he went to take a bath. Zhou Yue Ze was stunned before secretly thinking: You’re disdaining your own thing?
After failing this time, Xiang Han did not allow Zhou Yue Ze near his body, not even letting him into his room.
Zhou Yue Ze was very frustrated. They were clearly together and Xiang Han’s attitude was also not as cold as before, but why won’t he let him come closer? It must be noted that he showered many times in a day and even learnt many massaging techniques from Doctor Zhong…
Xiang Han and Zhou Yue Ze were together for the next half of their lives, but no resonance was established during this period of time.
Just before he was about to leave, Xiang Han was unsure if he was feeling disappointed or relieved. Touching Zhou Yue Ze’s no longer youthful face, he smiled, “In the future, you should forget about me. You definitely cannot remember me.”
Zhou Yue Ze shook his head slowly and softly said, “I will remember you forever.”
“It’s no use even if you remember…” Xiang Han said sadly then lowered his hands.
With a head full of white hair, Zhou Yue Ze froze momentarily before clumsily bringing him into his arms.
Before leaving the world, Xiang Han first went into the simulation space and System also appeared, asking pitifully, “Mr. Xiang, you’re really leaving?”
Xiang Han hesitated for a while before he nodded, “Yes.”
System returned to its corner sadly. Big A watched and awkwardly said, “Mr. Xiang, you really won’t reconsider? We will definitely protect your identity and will not let you get caught up in the internal strife.”
The Marshal also looked at him hopefully. Xiang Han looked at them and hesitated, “It’s not entirely because of this. Forget it, I’m still going to give up.”
The Marshal could not conceal his disappointment but he still said, “That’s alright, we’ll think of something else. Child, it’s been really hard on you all this while.”
When he was leaving, Big A and Little B sent him off a distance.

What plot twist is going to make him stay?!
My brain can’t think of any that sounds plausible…
Thanks for the chapter! <3
you probably won’t expect it xD
Thank you for the chapter!
( இ﹏இ’ ) Anxiously waiting for the plot twist!
Thanks for the chapter ~
ML would probably awaken, memories intact, and chase MC in the real world.
Wow…. That was probably the most awkward sex scene I have ever read. XD
Hahahaha, it was hilariously weird tho
But what about loveeee what about studying about foooooood (?). Wonder ehy there was no resonance this time
Thank you for the update!
Thanks for the update
I can’t wait for the next chapter! My guessing skills are wack, I can’t tell what’s going to make Xiang Han stay. I wonder if it’s his dad? His dad will force him, or something?
Thanks for the chapter! 😘
Hm…plot twist speculation, how fun it is. Maybe his dad will force him back because it’s a job and it will help find his significant other? Maybe Xiang Han will become a mysophobic in real life so he will want Big A, B and the Marshal to fix him. Or Xiang Han will miss tasting the real food in the simulations so he will want to come back. That is all I have for now… Thanks for the chapter!
Thanks for the chapter (●´∀`●)
/ (ToT) / ~~ Thanks for the chapter.
Thanks for the update! Rlly excited for the next one 😍😍😍
*squeeeeeaa *coughs
His Dad I think was obviously an accomplice lol. Ugh my brain can’t come up with anything right now lol.
Thanks for the chapter. This is a good birthday gift for me tho I don’t really celebrate my birthday.
You have the same birthday as my dad then if your birthday is on September 9th 😂
Thanks for the chapter! 💕
In the end, it is just XH being shy and awkward after finding out Lu Ze is a real person, and also he had done it with that person – albeit virtually? 😂😂😂😂😂 let’s give XH a space first. He’ll come back, otherwise this story will end here 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Marshall Grandfather please look away (O////O) your grandson definitely tops – though I wouldn’t mind if they switch UwU
Really hope the mysophobia doesn’t lingering in the next life. Because there’s definitely a next round! It’s ruining the lovey dovey scenes. Though it’s hilarious that he’s already thinking of next time in regards with the umbrella.
“ Big A: “Cough, don’t worry, the General is definitely safe, because Mr. Xiang’s body… cannot do it. Also, if we don’t turn it off, once he knows…””
Oh? So a normal civilian Xiang Han’s body being violated is ok???
I really want to see the old comments for somebody to cussed out the spport team… :/
Just got into reading this novel, so don’t mind the months late reply, but thank you so much for stating a very understated statement.
Personally, seeing how abusive and forceful everyone has been on Xiang Han, I really wanted to drop this novel. I 100% agree that the support team is very toxic and I scorn other readers that left comments saying the MC should keep being ‘forced’ by something or someone to come back. Honestly, though fictional, just how rotten could people be to support this kind of behavior? It’s not consensual in the very least!
Sorry for being a long comment, but I’m just frustrated that no character in the story even considers a ‘reversible couple’ relationship. Like clearly, our MC would like to top, yet Deus Ex Machina always stopped him.
More thoughts incoming, stop reading if you don’t wanna see it. I just need to vent ;-;.
Hum… All I wanted was to see a healthy relationship T_T. Instead I got this bulls*it, like many other novels. MC will 95% always be the bottom, and no matter how harder he worked than the other, will always end up being on the submissive end of the relationship.
Like clearly they are both men, yet why is one of them always being referred to as the ‘bottom’ or ‘top’, and why not just call them by their names? Like, are they only worth as much as their sexual life? Are relationships really just built on whos dominating over the other? Get a grip, this is why a lot of relationships fail for crying out loud, and why fujoshis or other groups are condemned by many as toxic and unforgivable. They simply can’t understand how to properly treat individuals as real people.
In addition, these people have also decided calling people or characters by tags such as ‘shou’, ‘gong’, ‘wife’, or other derogatory terms for the couples in a relationship, as well as influenced other normal readers to think this is completely normal. Thus, even more people are becoming rotten, and suddenly it is hard to find a normal person to communicate with.
Like, I’m sorry, but why are romantic aspects of a relationship, as well as several others, so overlooked? Do both partners only do it for the s*x? Do they need others’ judgement of how they operate their relationship? If I ever meet one of these people with this kind of messed up rotten mind or judgement, I will be very tempted to punch them in the face for following the wrong path.
Now, back to the story.
Poor MC, no one even listens to his own desires and goals. He simply wanted to earn some money to not starve himself to death, yet a series of events led to him being tricked into selling his own body and soul to save a consciousness that he was not even aware of. The Marshal even stated himself that the support team had forcefully implanted Xiang Han into the world without full information, not even obtaining his consent for the project. This is basically the same as forcing a stranger to trade their life in exchange for another. While they say it has been patched, it’s still undoubtedly a fact that not once had the MC been properly given a choice in the matter.
Heck, he was even coerced and tricked to be the lover of Lu Ze in the first world, when his first instinct had been to quit and push the other away. Clearly, this man did not want any part of this at all. It’s almost as if the genre turned into rape and manipulation rather than the type of story that signified a healthy relationship.
Hah… ok, I’m done with my rant for now. I’ve read many novels that were as long as 300+ chapters before, so while I’m not too experienced, I have a general grasp of how this genre works. Simply put, I am disappointed. Will drop this story once it touches my bottom line once more.
Oh and, I forgot to mention, that is not to say that all stories or people are like this. In fact they may be even more overlooked than the former, since positivity, encouragement and the like don’t exactly get much recognition or impact in a short period. However, that’s a topic for another time.
Here are my recommendations for actual ‘healthy’ relationships between bl couples (good lord I’m sorry but this is one of my fav genres to read):
– The Earth is Online: Power couple, only have one real s*x scene and most of their interactions were quite cute and adorable, yet short. However, there is an unbelievable amount of satisfaction and fluff every time they interact like this >w_<.
Ugh, writing for a while makes my head hurt, I'll just quickly list the other series and you can read the others' reviews for yourself if you want.
– Don’t Pick Up Boyfriends From the Trash Bin
– High Energy QR Code
– They All Say I’ve Met a Ghost
– I’m Really Just an Ordinary Person
– My Legend Still Exists in the Cultivation World
And just for good measure, I really want everyone to read this novel not for its romance, but for its excelling performance in many different genres:
– Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint
~ tls123 commented: Listen to the person above me. You should definitely read this novel. Afterall, if that idiot MC could read 3000+ chapters of my trashy novel for 10 whole goddamn years, its easy to read this one with only 551 chapters! Quite the tempting offer is it not?
Damn, did some of what I said got erased.
Anyways, my other favorite bl novel is called ‘Card Room’ so go check it out if ur interested. Though it is extremely slowburn (my absolute cup of tea) their interactions are so cute I would even think they were already a married couple.
