As the Minor Gay Love Rival in Het Novels-Chapter 5.9
Chapter 5.9
As the plot progressed, Fan Yuan felt increasingly incompetent. The reason behind this had nothing to do with him, it was all because the male lead was an annoying little shit!
Take this time as an example. Since he had an operation to perform, he couldn’t give the boy a check-up on time, so he asked Old Zhang to help him out. But what the heck, before the operation even started, he was dragged away from the operating table and instead, the President personally did the operation on his behalf. As for himself, he was taken directly to the VIP ward to appease Yuan Song.
Entering the ward, he found that the room was very clean and tidy, having absolutely no signs of anyone throwing a fit. With a peaceful and serene look, Yuan Song was sitting quietly on the hospital bed, having practically zero difference from the average person………. Why did he say ‘practically’, you ask? Because at this very moment, the boy was tightly clenching his grip around a transfusion needle and holding it against his own neck.
Only then did Fan Yuan understand—the boy’s crazy fit of smashing the entire ward last time was in fact, not just a childish tantrum. This fella was essentially a deep well of ice, otherwise, he wouldn’t cause a ruckus as if he no longer wanted to live just because he had asked someone to help him out with the guy’s routine check-up.
Fan Yuan walked over with a face of steel and reached a hand out, his voice solemn, “Hand it over.”
Yuan Song obediently pulled the needle away from his neck and placed it into Fan Yuan’s palm, chuckling, “I knew it, you care about me, otherwise you wouldn’t have abandoned something important like an operation to come and find me.”
Care about you, your head! Fan Yuan really wanted to spit blood on the boy’s face, but he held back through sheer will.
Turning to the other doctors and nurses, he forced a smile, “Let me handle things here, you all can carry on with your work first.”
Several nurses were afraid of such an unstable patient. Once they heard Fan Yuan say they could go first, they were elated and scurried out in a hurry, leaving only Doctor Zhang standing at the door. He hesitated for a moment before waving his hand to signal Fan Yuan over.
Fan Yuan went over with furrowed brows to listen to whatever nonsense he had to say, but all he heard was Doctor Zhang’s whisper, “I’m afraid that the patient’s mental state isn’t too normal, pay a bit more attention and don’t get hurt by mistake.”
Fan Yuan threw a surprised look at him, his heart couldn’t help but feel warm as he nodded, “Don’t worry, I’ll be careful.”
Just then, he heard Doctor Zhang add on, “If you’re honourably injured, he may come to me to settle the debt. Pei, pei, just thinking about it’s scary!”
Fan Yuan’s little heart that just warmed quickly froze into ice. He snorted, “You wish, you don’t even know if the patient is willing or not.”
With that, he mercilessly pushed Old Zhang out and shut the door.
He turned around with a wooden face and saw Yuan Song’s fixed gaze on him with a slight smile on his lips. The boy’s gaze was piercing, as if he were the only person in this world. Faced with such a gaze, Fan Yuan’s entire body felt uncomfortable.
He sat on the sofa facing Yuan Song and casually cast the needle aside, “What exactly are you trying to do?”
Yuan Song shook his head innocently, “I’m not trying to do anything, I just want Doctor Shi to stay by my side all the time.”
Fan Yuan massaged his temples helplessly, muttering in exhaustion, “I am a doctor, there are many patients that need me, I can’t just accompany you, a single person.”
Yuan Song suddenly got agitated and shouted back, “No! I’m different from those people. They are just your patients, but I’m different. I’m closer to you, I’m the one you care most about! ”
Fan Yuan was about to be defeated by this guy’s divine logic. The reason why the original host fell for Yuan Song was that he had an ability to make those around him feel very happy and warm, his positivity made him extremely attractive.
However, this reborn man in front of his eyes had presumptuously assumed that no matter how much trouble he caused and how crazy he acted, Shi Yuan, his Doctor Shi, would definitely be as good to him as he was in the last incarnation, only caring about him. Witnessing this kind of self-arrogance and stubbornness, Fan Yuan was at a loss for words.
Even if the one standing here today wasn’t him, but the original host, he surmised that he wouldn’t fall for such a Yuan Song.
According to the plot, his feelings towards Yuan Song should be close to that of ‘like’ at this stage, but this really wouldn’t be in character. The original host wasn’t a masochist, he probably wouldn’t be able to tolerate this kind of yandere male lead either.
After a moment of silence, he still chose the safest method that was neither tolerant nor excessively harsh, “As a doctor, I treat all patients equally. You encountered such an incident this young, so I feel very bad and my heart does go out to you, that’s why I always indulge you, but it’s time for you to grow up. You can’t always act so childishly and cause trouble for the doctors and nurses in the hospital. Do you think my words are reasonable?”
“Childish, mature……,” Yuan Song murmured lowly. A moment later, he suddenly broke out laughing, “Doctor Shi, do you believe in the existence of a past life?”
Fan Yuan’s expression was unchanging. Is the male lead trying to show his hand? A pity, a pity, but the original host was an atheist, a good youth with the four virtues of the new era, and a firm supporter of Marxism-Leninism. It’s useless to tell him a wonderful and moving story.
“I don’t,” he said blandly.
Yuan Song still smiled, but there was a strange look in his eyes, “What if there really is one, really someone who has lived two lives? Don’t novels usually have these kinds of plots? The protagonist was unhappy in his last life, and God gave him a chance to come back again.”
Fan Yuan replied, “As you said, those are novels, fictional worlds, how can you take it seriously?”
Yuan Song’s expression began to turn ugly, but he still didn’t want to drop the subject. He stubbornly insisted, “What if there really is a person who missed the chance to be with the one he loved because he wasn’t strong and brave enough, but was reborn? This time round, he’s brave, strong and fearless, he just wants that person to give him another chance. Tell me Doctor Shi, does he still have a chance?”
The last sentence carried an obvious quiver. Yuan Song was like a criminal awaiting his trial, waiting anxiously for Fan Yuan to give his answer.
Looking at this kind of Yuan Song, Fan Yuan really couldn’t bear it, but it was a pity that he wasn’t the original host, so he couldn’t give the boy his answer.
The man who loved Yuan Song for his whole life had completely disappeared at the end of the last reincarnation. At the beginning of the next reincarnation, according to the rules, another “Shi Yuan” would be created. At that time, as a bug, Yuan Song would be fixed and become a new “Yuan Song” as he enters the next incarnation.
This was the same as reincarnation in Buddhism. The Shi Yuan he loved only existed in that time and space. Even if it was the same string of data, it would not be the same person after reincarnation. Moreover, that string of data has been completely destroyed. At present, Yuan Song’s deep feelings and regret were too late.
He was silent for a long time, before deliberating, “If there really is such a thing, when it comes to the reborn person as you said, the person he loves hasn’t experienced the turbulent times of the previous life. If he hasn’t directly experienced all the pain of the past, how can he know if he can give him another chance?”
Yuan Song’s pupils shrank suddenly, his lips trembling as if he wanted to say something more. Fan Yuan came to him and said, “I once heard a story about an obese girl. Although she had a lover who loved her, she always felt inferior due to her weight. That lasted till one day when she returned to the past, this time she tried really hard to lose weight and finally became slim. She was waiting early in the library where she and her lover met for the first time, in hopes that this time, their encounter would be romantic and beautiful, but this time her lover didn’t stay for her, because along that narrow pathway between the bookshelves, an “excuse me” wasn’t said.”
Yuan Song shook his head violently, “But she became thinner and prettier. As long as she works hard, her lover will still fall in love with her again!”
Fan Yuan shook his head. “That’s not necessarily true. You’ve heard of the butterfly effect. A small butterfly can cause a huge storm by flapping its wings, let alone human beings. It’s the same with the reborn person you spoke of. If he changes his destiny without permission, those affected wouldn’t just be him. ”
Seeing his face get paler and paler, Fan Yuan felt a little uneasy. Pretending to be clueless, Fan Yuan said in comfort, “Recuperate well. Don’t do these dangerous things again, or your mother can’t rest assured.”
Seeing the boy nod stiffly, he finally felt assured enough to leave.
He also knew he had spoken too much, but this was the simplest and most rudimentary way he could use. First, it could make Yuan Song realise that his unbridled behavior during the past few days was wrong, and second, it could frighten him enough to prevent his future actions, so as to avoid further troubles.
After Fan Yuan left, Yuan Song slumped on the bed, his eyes turning red gradually, “So that’s the reason? Because I changed, you chose Yuan Cheng?”
He chewed on the last two words for a moment, and suddenly, he went mad. As long as that person died, no one would interfere with him.
His gaze stopped at his phone, and a while later, he slowly opened his address book.
*******************
As Fan Yuan returned to his office he glanced at the time—only 9:52. He quickly opened the live broadcast, Yan Rui’s TV interview program was at 10 this morning.
Originally, he thought he wouldn’t be able to make it after the operation ended, but the male lead’s farce reaped its own benefits, so maybe this incident could be considered a blessing in disguise.
As an outstanding writer, Yuan Cheng had his own studio. He had even sold the film and television copyrights of several of his works, and on top of that, he personally took on the role of screenwriter for these projects. In addition, he had a large number of fans from the Appearance Association. Hence, he was occasionally invited to attend TV programs.
Yan Rui naturally didn’t want to go to that occasion to put on airs, but this time, Fan Yuan forced him to go. This was because the dessert snacks sent by the assistant from Yan Rui’s studio had all been eaten by him. The mouth that eats the food of others is softened; the hand that takes the possessions of others is shortened. Fan Yuan didn’t like to owe people, so he wanted to settle this matter for Yan Rui’s assistant in return.
It was only because the enemy was too cunning, it absolutely wasn’t his fault! Thinking of it this way, he felt much more at ease.
Fan Yuan stared at the computer screen, and after a few minutes of advertisements, Yan Rui appeared in front of him. It’s said that “Fine clothes make the man”. Yan Rui always wore a white casual shirt and light blue jeans, it wasn’t ugly, but it wasn’t in line with his aura.
This time, Yan Rui had changed into a dark-striped suit that came in black and blue. He was tall and muscular, so the suit naturally farmed his masculine build. It was just the right size, showcasing his strong body. Just by sitting at the guest sofa casually, his entire person exuded the charm of a masculine man, you could feel his testosterone from across the screen.
Fan Yuan swallowed a gulp of saliva as he unconsciously reached for the mouse, and began to frantically take screenshots.
Xiao Wu suddenly issued a mechanical warning, “Ding……….”
Fan Yuan kept his eyes fixed on someone on the screen, taking a quick screenshot, “Wait Xiao Wu, if there’s anything it can wait for later, I’ll finish watching this part first.”
Xiao Wu: “…………”
The show’s host popped a question, “We all know that Mr. Yuan is an extremely outstanding man, but you have always been single. Do you have an ideal type of lover?”
Fan Yuan’s breath hitched. On the screen, he stared as Yan Rui’s lips suddenly curled up, his mouth opening slowly……….
“I’m sorry, I already have a lover.”
Fan Yuan was caught off guard. Why did he feel that the voice was coming from behind him? A sense of foreboding struck him, making him not want to turn back at all!
His chair was turned 180 degrees, and the man on the screen appeared right in front of his eyes, eyes evident with a smile as the corners of his mouth lifted teasingly, “So it turns out that you like me this much?”
＃Laozi doesn’t like you!＃
＃Wait a moment, this sentence seems to be a little familiar (⊙v⊙)?＃
＃You bastard, aren’t you filming a program? How the heck did you get here!＃
