Shi Yuan's consciousness was hazy, but he still knew how to answer,
"Is anyone even worthy of me?"
Qi Yan was flooded with a mix of emotions surprise, guilt, and seemingly a spark of delight...
Qi Yan lowered his head and, for the first time, kissed Shi Yuan's lips, soft and tender.
This time, he was much gentler, and Shi Yuan responded passionately, the room quickly heating up again...
Spent from the frenzy and too lazy to deal with Qi Yan any longer, he pushed him away, turned over, and fell into a deep sleep once more.
Left in an awkward state, Qi Yan lips twitched several times before stopping.
He looked down with a self-mocking glance, gently biting Shi Yuan's nape,
"So heartless, leaving me like this! So I will continue to do as I please."
Biting soon gave way to light kisses on the smooth, fragrant skin of Shi Yuan's back.
Qi Yan adored Shi Yuan's exquisite skin.
It was delicate and smooth, fragrant and sweet, utterly irresistible.
And the scent emanating from Shi Yuan made him want to stay in his arms forever.
When Qi Yan, somewhat guiltily, released Shi Yuan, Shi Yuan's voice drifted over,
"Scumbag, get lost. So annoying. Are you a mosquito.."
Qi Yan's ears instantly flushed bright red…
[Ding! Affection Level Update]
[Qi Yan: -100% → -70%]
--------
[Ding! Host consciousness fully integrated!]
[Ding! System binding complete!]
When Shi Yuan regained consciousness, he felt his mind clear for the first time since arriving in this world.
There was no heat clouding his thoughts, no fog drowning his senses, just the cold and sharp awareness of an assassin waking to a new day.
He nearly went crazy.
The memories of last night crashed down like a wave.
Crawling on his hands and knees.
Begging like a desperate dog.
Groveling at that bastard's feet.
The assassin had never suffered such humiliation in his entire life!
He lay still, breathing hard, staring at the ceiling.
The foreign memories had settled now.
The cliff.
The fall.
Death.
All of it was clear and complete in his mind.
He knew where he was, he knew what happened, he knew he had transmigrated.
And worst of all?
He turned his head.
Qi Yan laid beside him, one arm draped possessively over Shi Yuan's waist, his face peaceful in his sleep.
This was the man who killed the original owner of this body.
The man this body hated most in the world.
The man he had unfortunately spent the night with.
Shi Yuan's eye twitched violently.
"Who even does that?"
[Ding! Greetings, Host!]
Shi Yuan froze.
"What was that?"
[Ding! System is here to assist the Host in navigating this world! Tasks will be provided with multiple choice outcomes for the Host to select!]
"What are you talking about?"
[Ding! The host's first task has arrived!]
[Task 1: Morning After]
[Qi Yan is sleeping beside you. What will you do?]
[A. Stay still and wait for him to wake.]
[B. Gently move his arm and slip away quietly.]
[C. Kick him off the bed and leave with dignity.]
[D. Wake him with a kiss.]
Shi Yuan stared at the choices floating in his mind.
"Kiss him? Why the hell would I kiss him?"
[Ding! Host has 30 seconds to select or random choice will be applied!]
"I didn't ask for this! I didn't agree to any of this!"
[Ding! 25 seconds remaining!]
Shi Yuan looked at Qi Yan's peaceful face. He looked at the arm still wrapped around his waist. He remembered the cold disdain in those eyes last night, the disgust, the way Qi Yan had looked at him like he was something rotten.
His eyes twitched again.
[Ding! 15 seconds remaining!]
"Fine."
He grabbed Qi Yan's arm and threw it off. He lifted his foot and kicked.
Qi Yan hit the floor with a loud thump.
[Ding! Choice C selected!]
"Wha—what—"
"Go find some other tree to hug!"
Shi Yuan was already moving.
He swung his legs off the bed and snatched up his robes from the floor. He pulled them on with sharp, furious movements, the same way he had dressed after a hundred kills in his old life.
Qi Yan blinked up at him from the floor. He was naked, disoriented, his hair a complete mess.
Shi Yuan turned and looked down at him. His expression was filled with such cold disdain that Qi Yan forgot how to breathe.
"I will repay this debt."
His voice was like ice.
"Qi Yan."
