Chapter 32#

World 1: The Tragic Supporting Male Lead Changes the Script Online#

In the Lotus Hall of Baiweizhai, the staff of Lanyu’s legal department gathered around a huge round table, toasting and chatting happily.

Qin Qing sat next to Xu Yizhi, holding a celadon wine cup the size of a thumb, sipping the clear but extremely strong white wine with his thin lips from time to time.

He was a little drunk, his shimmering peach blossom eyes covered with a layer of wet mist, looking at everyone as if with a hint of soft affection. His usually pale face now had a shallow and pink blush, like a newly bloomed rose.

He propped his chin, hooked his thin lips and smiled unconsciously. Every female colleague who met his gaze would be slightly stunned and then hurriedly turn their heads away, silently suppressing the feeling of blushing and heartbeat.

Tainted with a trace of drunkenness, he was like a demon flower fed on nectar and the essence of the sun and moon, dazzlingly beautiful.

Even the waiter serving the dishes would deliberately take a big detour, walk to his side, stand close to him, and slowly place the dishes on the table one by one.

Others were talking loudly, only he was reticent. However, as long as he spoke, everyone would listen carefully and then sincerely agree with every point of his view. At this moment, everyone had only one wish, which was to please this drunk and naive beauty.

Xu Yizhi was the same. Once Qin Qing started talking, he would lean over, lower his head, stare into Qin Qing’s misty eyes, hook his thin lips, and encourage the other party to continue with a gentle smile.

“…So this article does not apply to this case.” Qin Qing explained his thoughts while organizing his thoughts.

“Which one is truly applicable?” Xu Yizhi played with a small celadon wine cup and asked patiently.

“Applicable, applicable…” Qin Qing clearly knew the answer, but was stunned when the words came to his mouth.

His eyes were empty, thinking hard, his pink tongue tip protruded from his snow-white teeth, unconsciously licking his tender red lips. He was confused by the drink, his wet black eyes glanced sideways, showing a distressed expression, seemingly as innocent and cute as a child.

“Heh…” Xu Yizhi chuckled uncontrollably, his gaze firmly locked on this little flower beside him that seemed to be picked at will.

Just then, Pang Yong’an walked over carrying a bottle of high-purity white wine and said maliciously: “Qin Qing, come come come, drink a cup with us brothers.”

A group of drunk male colleagues stood up and clapped and booed.

Qin Qing covered his stomach, frowned, and wanted to refuse.

Before he could speak, Xu Yizhi took the white wine handed by Pang Yong’an and asked with a half-smile: “How to drink? One cup for each of you, or one cup for Qin Qing for each person?”

The female colleagues frowned. Isn’t this obviously bullying Qin Qing! After drinking a dozen cups of white wine, how uncomfortable would Qin Qing be? Maybe he would get alcohol poisoning!

Pang Yong’an said with a grin: “This is the rule for welcoming new colleagues. Qin Qing has been employed for a long time and hasn’t drunk with us yet! Let’s make it all up today.”

Xu Yizhi narrowed his eyes and smiled: “I haven’t drunk with you either, how about I make it up too?”

He clearly had a gentle expression on his face, but there was a cold glint in the bottom of his dark eyes. Anyone who saw this look of hiding a knife in a smile would feel a thump in their heart.

Pang Yong’an, who was drunk, sobered up instantly and waved his hands hurriedly: “Not drinking, not drinking, I’ll be scolded by my wife when I go back tonight. Eat, eat!”

He fled back to his seat in embarrassment. Other male colleagues also cupped their hands with red faces, saying they dared not drink anymore.

Xu Yizhi put down the bottle of white wine, turned to look at Qin Qing, and then was slightly stunned.

Qin Qing was propping his pink, steaming cheeks, looking at him sideways, his peach blossom eyes narrowed, his beautiful lips slightly curved, and there was appreciation, smile, and a trace of heat in his moist eyes.

“I won’t drink with them, I only drink with you.” Qin Qing slowly leaned into Xu Yizhi’s ear and breathed out mellow hot air.

Xu Yizhi’s fingertips trembled slightly, almost unable to suppress the urge to pick this little flower.

“Don’t drink anymore, you’re drunk.” He whispered low, his voice hoarse.

“Yes, a little drunk.” Qin Qing held his hot and flushed face with both hands, smiling softly. His eyes were completely confused, so he could only stare blankly at Xu Yizhi alone.

Those other colleagues were making noise, talking and laughing, playing drinking games, but couldn’t get a trace of his attention.

A flower blooming in the corner is not for all passers-by to see, but only for the only person who walks silently here every day.

Thinking like this, Qin Qing smiled foolishly again. His clear eyes were like fresh streams, like dark deep pools, like everything that could drown people.

Xu Yizhi inadvertently looked into these eyes and could no longer withdraw his gaze.

The time of looking at each other was a bit long, so long that the gazes were sticking together and the breaths were blending. If someone hadn’t walked over to ask about work, Xu Yizhi wouldn’t know if he could escape this invisible temptation.

He turned to look at that colleague, trying his best to restrain his chaotic and romantic thoughts.

Out of his sight, Qin Qing lowered his head and smiled with interest. In his interested eyes, where was there any confusion and ignorance?

Drinking the wine in the celadon wine cup he had been playing with, Qin Qing looked at Xu Yizhi again, his gaze moving from the other’s handsome side face to the sexy Adam’s apple, and then to the broad shoulders and solid chest…

A corner of a white square scarf with black patterns was exposed in the pocket of the expensive and luxurious black suit jacket, which was the gift he gave to the other party.

Qin Qing suddenly reached out to take that square scarf.

Xu Yizhi, who was extremely vigilant, immediately caught this hand dyed pink by alcohol. The slightly higher body temperature and delicate and smooth touch made him slightly stunned, and then he realized that this hand was actually Qin Qing’s.

The vigilant cold light in his deep eyes immediately turned into a touch of softness. His fingertips, which were strong enough to break others’ hand bones, gently stroked the back of Qin Qing’s hand and patted it intimately.

He didn’t say a word, but also expressed his indulgence and helplessness.

Qin Qing successfully pulled out the square scarf. He spread it on the table and folded it into various shapes boredly. Others were drinking and eating, only he was lazy, drunk, and weak all over.

While chatting with others, Xu Yizhi took time to glance at Qin Qing, the smile on the corner of his mouth deepening again and again. He had never seen a flower drunk.

“Eat.” Xu Yizhi put a piece of fish for Qin Qing.

Qin Qing nodded, dipped a little fish sauce with chopsticks and put it in his mouth to taste, finally frowned and stopped moving his chopsticks. After a while, he started playing with the square scarf again.

After folding the square scarf into a small fan, he raised it to Xu Yizhi’s head and fanned it seriously.

Xu Yizhi caught his wrist, laughing low and helplessly: “You are really drunk.”

“Hmm, a little bit. You are sweating, I’m afraid you are hot.”

Qin Qing tilted his head and smiled brightly. After being caught by one hand, his body involuntarily leaned towards Xu Yizhi.

Xu Yizhi laughed low helplessly again, took away the small fan made of the square scarf, circled Qin Qing’s shoulder with his arm, and half-hugged him in his arms. Qin Qing also reached out and hugged the other’s strong waist.

Drunk people swaying, hugging each other, putting arms around each other’s shoulders, are all normal. Therefore, no one expressed surprise at their embracing posture.

Qin Qing leaned in Xu Yizhi’s arms, snatched the small fan made of the square scarf, and struggled to insert it into Xu Yizhi’s jacket pocket. He couldn’t insert it accurately, fumbling for a long time.

Xu Yizhi looked down at him, his lips curved slightly, the indulgence and softness in his dark eyes were as thick as honey.

“You didn’t eat much today.” He said in a low voice.

“The food is not delicious.” Qin Qing fiddled with the small fan exposed from the corner of the pocket with his fingertips, as if he didn’t know that he was also fiddling with his immediate boss’s heartstrings.

“They all say Baiweizhai is the best private kitchen in Haishi.” Xu Yizhi lowered his head even more and whispered to the young man half-lying in his arms.

Qin Qing pointed to the braised pork distributed by the waiter, only a small piece for each person, and asked with a trace of drunkenness: “Have you eaten the flat peaches in the Immortal Palace?”

Xu Yizhi was silent for a few seconds, then asked back: “Have you eaten them?”

Qin Qing narrowed his eyes, as if recalling: “The flat peaches in the Immortal Palace only ripen once in a thousand years, so each immortal only gets a small piece. Just like this braised pork.”

He pointed to the braised pork in the bowl that had been slightly bitten, his tone actually carrying a rare grievance: “Baiweizhai sells meat as immortal peaches, so customers should feel value for money.”

Seeing the little flower in his arms frowning aggrievedly, Xu Yizhi couldn’t stop laughing low.

The solid and broad chest vibrated, emitting a pleasant long cry like a bell and drum, making Qin Qing’s ears hot and his body weak.

Xu Yizhi rubbed Qin Qing’s slightly red ears and asked hoarsely: “So is this braised pork not delicious?”

“Such a small amount, such an expensive price, should be compensated with excellent taste. But Baiweizhai didn’t do it. Can’t you taste it? The braised pork here is no different from the braised pork outside, I’m very disappointed.” Qin Qing complained with his delicate eyebrows furrowed.

“I can’t taste it.” Xu Yizhi looked at the little flower in his arms intently and confessed: “Even if you give me an immortal peach, I can’t taste what it tastes like.”

Qin Qing opened his moist and slightly red eyes wide, showing a surprised look. Then he slowly withdrew from his immediate boss’s embrace, leaned to the other side, propped his cheek with one hand, and asked tentatively: “You have no sense of taste?”

“I have,” Xu Yizhi stroked his suddenly empty heart, shaking his head and whispering: “But bitter, spicy, sweet, sour, and salty are all the same to me.”

Equally plain and boring, hard to distinguish.

Qin Qing blinked, still digesting this message.

Xu Yizhi immediately asked: “What do you say the flat peaches in the Immortal Palace taste like?”

Qin Qing’s eyes were empty, falling into memories, and then shook his head silently. Those things were already very far away from him.

Xu Yizhi slowly leaned over, put his arm on the back of Qin Qing’s chair, half-embraced him, laughter overflowing in his romantic and affectionate eyes, his low and soft voice seemed to be coaxing, “I guess it tastes like a kiss.”

A wet breath with a strong smell of alcohol blew on the auricle and the side of the face, becoming hotter and hotter as the distance shortened. The feeling of being invaded pulled every vigilant nerve of Qin Qing.

But Qin Qing did not dodge, but turned his head and looked into Xu Yizhi’s dark and deep eyes. Then, he also slowly leaned over, bringing the already close distance a few points closer.

The hot and humid breath overflowed from your body and was immediately inhaled into my body. The coolness of cedar and the fragrance of demon flowers merged into an ambiguous spring feeling stronger than strong wine.

Qin Qing suddenly raised his lips and smiled extremely clearly and beautifully: “I guess it tastes like wanting to kiss but not being able to.”

Two wet and thin lips were almost touching, but were suddenly pulled apart by Qin Qing. He covered half of his face smiling proudly with his pale pink fingers, and the exposed slightly curved eyes flashed with cunning light.

He was teasing his immediate boss with a kiss that was within reach but unobtainable.

The honey fruit is ripe, and the thin skin breaks at a touch. But it hangs on such a high branch that the person who has set his sights on it can only wait thirstily, waiting for it to fall from a height one day and fall into his arms.

In the process of waiting, that unparalleled sweet taste has been imagined countless times in the mind.

So what does the immortal peach taste like?

Xu Yizhi held his forehead, shaking his head while laughing extremely happily and heartily.

He finally knew what the immortal peach tasted like.

Qin Qing poured two glasses of white wine, pushed one to Xu Yizhi’s hand, and picked up one himself and drank it all.

Xu Yizhi picked up the wine glass while laughing and drank it all, his burning eyes staring at Qin Qing’s flushed and bewitching face. He was tasting wine and also admiring flowers.

The two people with surging undercurrents didn’t realize at all that when they were about to kiss each other, the colleagues around who were talking and laughing had already become silent. When they separated, these people pretended to chat warmly again.

Pang Yong’an smiled, but his face twisted for a while, and he secretly cursed a slut in his heart.

It turned out that Qin Qing rose to power by beauty, no wonder!

In the Lily Hall adjacent to the Lotus Hall, Qin Zishi sat at a table with a few friends, also looking at the scene just now in disbelief.

“Did you take a picture?” One of the friends asked in a lowered voice like a thief.

“Took it! F*ck! Too explosive! From this angle, they seem to be really kissing!”

“If the occasion wasn’t wrong, I suspect they would have hooked up long ago! Zishi, your brother really has some skills! How many people want to hook President Xu but can’t! Look how he hooked President Xu! President Xu’s eyes look like he wants to eat people!”

“You don’t look at what he looks like! If I were President Xu, I would press Qin Qing’s head for a deep kiss!” The person who said this couldn’t help sucking in his saliva.

Several others nodded repeatedly in agreement, sighing endlessly.

Qin Zishi looked at the two wrapped in an ambiguous atmosphere with a livid face, his fists clenched and loosened suddenly, and finally smiled inexplicably.

“Send me a copy of the photos and videos.” He said coldly.

“What are you going to do? Don’t provoke President Xu!” The friend warned nervously.

“Don’t worry, I know the measure.” Qin Zishi said extremely calmly.

They didn’t notice at all that a little fat cat was squatting on their table, quickly swallowing the dishes on the plate.

“Qin Zishi, you must not be soft-hearted, kill Qin Qing! Qin Qing is a heresy of this world, and the Dao of Heaven will help you eliminate him!” After spitting out a bone, the little fat cat said viciously.

Qin Qing leaned on the table drunkenly, Xu Yizhi took him into his arms and fed him a cup of tea. Unknown what he heard, Xu Yizhi suddenly turned his head and looked in Qin Zishi’s direction.

Qin Zishi and others turned pale and froze in place.

996 dropped a fish in its paw and ran away with a swish. Damn it, why suddenly feel that Xu Yizhi, this supporting male character, is more terrible than Cang Ming?

A group of people drank until midnight before dispersing.

Xu Yizhi helped the half-drunk Qin Qing into his car and fastened his seat belt. The driver asked where to go, and he gave Qin Qing’s address.

When he went around to the other side and was about to open the car door, a gloomy voice stopped him: “President Xu!”

Qin Qing, who was leaning against the car window pretending to sleep, opened his eyes and looked opposite.

Qin Zishi strode to the car and asked, suppressing his anger: “President Xu, did you call off the cooperation with the Solomon Group to help Qin Qing deal with me?”

Qin Qing laughed briefly.

Xu Yizhi looked back, saw Qin Qing’s slightly red and drunk clear and beautiful face, and smiled gently.

However, when looking at Qin Zishi again, he had restrained all expressions and said coldly: “No. There are big problems with the project—”

Qin Zishi interrupted him extremely rudely: “You go to find problems with problems, of course you will find many problems. You don’t have to deny it, Qin Qing influenced your judgment. President Xu, this time you didn’t distinguish between public and private! I can only tell you that Lanyu will suffer huge losses because of your dereliction of duty!”

Xu Yizhi looked at Qin Zishi with a half-smile.

Qin Qing covered his thin lips and let out a low and slow short laugh again.

The two tacitly ignored Qin Zishi’s harsh words.

996 sneaked behind Qin Zishi and waved its chubby paws to cheer: “Qin Zishi, quickly scold Qin Qing, this goblin, to death! He deliberately seduced Xu Yizhi to deal with you!”

It’s a pity that Qin Zishi couldn’t hear it or see it.

Qin Zishi took a deep breath and sneered: “President Xu, Lanyu will soon pay a painful price for your failed decision. Your career is going to be over. Qin Qing, you won’t be proud for long. Your backer is going to fall soon.”

Qin Qing unfastened his seat belt, slid along the seat to the window on this side, reached out and pulled Xu Yizhi’s hem, asking drunkenly: “What is he talking about? Why can’t I understand?”

“You don’t need to understand. Let’s go, I’ll take you home.”

Xu Yizhi gently stroked Qin Qing’s slightly hot pink cheeks, finally opened the car door and got in, taking the half-drunk person into his arms.

“Drive.”

The car sped away, seemingly treating Qin Zishi’s warning as nonsense.

Qin Zishi watched the car go away, his hands hanging by his side slowly clenched into fists.

996 followed Qin Zishi into the car and asked curiously: “How are you going to deal with Qin Qing?”

Qin Zishi raced back to Shen Mingshu’s small villa all the way, locked himself in the bedroom, compiled a blog post, and prepared to send it to the Internet.

996 squatted by the computer and read the blog post word by word, and then the whole cat was confused.

“You can’t do this! You will ruin yourself! Qin Qing has been digging pits for you! Following his train of thought will only make you sink deeper and deeper! You have to jump out and find another way! Don’t get entangled in the Solomon Group’s affairs anymore, you damn it are destroying your future! The script is here, look! Look! The Solomon Group is a huge pit, don’t jump in!”

996 shouted hoarsely, but unfortunately Qin Zishi couldn’t hear at all.

Helpless, 996 had to unplug the computer.

Qin Zishi plugged it back in, it unplugged it again, Qin Zishi couldn’t plug it in several times, so he had to step on the plug and the socket with his foot.

996 turned to unplug the network cable, Qin Zishi plugged the network cable back in, after repeating several times, 996 could only bite off the network cable.

Without the internet, Qin Zishi logged into Weibo with his mobile phone and posted the blog post on the website.

996 worked hard for most of the day, and finally could only lie on the floor panting with its round belly.

“Damn it! Good words can’t persuade a damned ghost! Qin Zishi, aren’t you the lucky one chosen by the Dao of Heaven? You can share the luck of the son of destiny, but why are you so unlucky? You in the script are not this stupid!”

996 despaired, covered its head and wailed and rolled a few times.

Following Qin Zishi is too annoying, it’s better to follow Qin Qing happily. That person never does stupid things that are unfavorable to himself.

No, going against the plot is the stupidest thing, this is not like Qin Qing’s character! Why does he seek death for no reason? These people, one or two, all damn act like they took the wrong medicine!

996 fell into unprecedented confusion.

At the same time, Qin Qing, who had been blowing the evening breeze all the way, had recovered some clarity. He slowly stepped out of the car door and walked into his own courtyard.

A burst of high and low frog croaks came from the pond in the courtyard, accompanied by the clear singing of crickets. The night was noisy, but it made people feel calm inside.

Xu Yizhi helped the person up the steps and suddenly handed out a palm-sized black velvet box, “A gift for you.”

Qin Qing opened the velvet box, but saw a glass ball lying inside, filled with transparent liquid, wrapping a fresh green lotus leaf and a fluffy little white flower.

“One-leaf lotus?” Qin Qing raised his eyebrows: “Is it a preserved flower?”

Xu Yizhi smiled without saying a word.

Qin Qing shook his head and said: “Killing a fresh flower and imprisoning the corpse in the most beautiful moment to give as a gift, this is cruel.” He frowned tightly, as if thinking of bad memories.

Xu Yizhi took the glass ball and threw it into the pond not far away.

“Why did you throw it away?” Qin Qing was reluctant again, so he walked towards the pond while taking off his suit jacket, preparing to wade into the water to retrieve the glass ball.

However, when he reached the edge of the pond, he was stunned. He saw that the glass ball did not sink to the bottom, but floated on the water surface. The transparent ball wall slowly melted, releasing the imprisoned one-leaf lotus.

The leaves stretched, the flowers swayed, and the roots probed into the water to absorb nutrients. Everything was so thriving.

This is not the corpse of a flower, but a fresh life properly protected by a high-tech shell.

“Do you like it?” Xu Yizhi, who hadn’t explained a word just now, asked softly until now.

Qin Qing was stunned for a long time before nodding, and finally smiled brightly.

Seeing him smile, Xu Yizhi also smiled happily.

The two stood by the pond, accompanied by bursts of frog croaks and cicada sounds, staring at each other for a long time. Suddenly, Qin Qing touched his stinging back, unknown what he thought of, actually left Xu Yizhi and ran into the house without saying a word.

Xu Yizhi did not follow in, just stood by the pond, looked up at the warm yellow lights lit up in a room on the second floor, then shook his head with a smile and left slowly.

Qin Qing ran into the bathroom quickly, took off his shirt, and exposed his bare back to the mirror. Those withered vines entangled like snakes were fading one by one at this moment, and a tender green bud slowly drilled out from his beautifully shaped shoulder blade.

996, who happened to sneak in from the window and ran to the bathroom to check, widened its eyes in surprise: “Meow, what is this? Where are your withered vines all over your back?”

The withered vines were full of death, indicating that Qin Qing would die soon. But now, the death-filled withered vines turned into a fresh and tender bud. This phenomenon was definitely a good thing for Qin Qing, but it made 996 feel ominous.

Qin Qing tilted his head, looking intently at this small, fresh green bud in the mirror, unknown what he thought of, actually covered his lips and laughed low and happily.

He kept laughing, laughing until the corners of his eyes turned red and tears flickered…

“What exactly is this meow? Stop laughing, tell me!” 996 kept asking, feeling more and more anxious and irritable.

The sixth sense told it that this little sprout would make Qin Qing even more out of control.
