Chapter 234: The Fifth Day of Being Trapped in a Restricted Novel

An Yi quickened his pace, determined to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.

But the damn comment section wouldn't let him off, chiming in his ears at the perfect moment:

"Aaahhh! Restaurant booth play! (lewd)(lewd)(lewd)(hot)(hot)"

"Tsk tsk, it seems like someone's at the next table? Will they hear it? So thrilling!"

"**********hand*******"

"I feel like the neighbor guy is the best!"

"His plays are always the most extravagant!"

"..."

An Yi: "..."

Oh, so that flashy shirt guy is the second male lead, Cheng Yuhang.

He set down his chopsticks without a change in expression, wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin, and decided to get out of this mess ASAP.

He didn't want his meal disrupted, let alone be forced to watch some kind of restaurant bathroom play or booth passion live show...

However, just as he stood up and grabbed his coat, planning to sneak away, a sudden loud clatter of dishes came from You Shou's direction!

It seemed that You Shou, for some reason, went limp, and his chopsticks dropped onto the plate, even knocking over a small bowl, splattering soup.

A passing waiter was startled and quickly came over to clean up, asking with concern, "Sir, are you alright? Do you need help?"

You Shou was nearly lying on the table, his voice soft and quavering, slurring, "N-no... I'm fine... don't worry..."

He looked up, showing a flushed, feverish face, eyes unfocused and glistening.

The waiter, noticing his condition, asked worriedly, "Sir, your face is very red. Are you running a fever? Should I call an ambulance?"

An Yi's mouth twitched from a distance, thinking, *Kid, the best thing you can do for him is to leave right now.*

He shook his head and didn't linger. Picking up his belongings, he quickly walked toward the restaurant exit.

But the sound of him standing and leaving seemed to startle the two people lost in their own world.

Cheng Yuhang and You Shou only then realized that someone had been sitting in the booth behind them all along!

When You Shou's gaze fell on An Yi's profile and tall, upright back, he gasped!

He recognized that face!

He had seen him from afar before at his husband's company—the CEO of An Group, the very top of the corporate ladder, far above his husband Rong Zhengqi's immediate boss.

Oh no... he... he and Cheng Yuhang just now... had he been seen?

If President An found out about him outside... would that affect Zhengqi's job?

Panic and an indescribable mix of fear and secret excitement seized You Shou.

He instinctively pushed away Cheng Yuhang, who was still clinging to him, and quickly sent the confused waiter away in a low voice.

Watching An Yi's retreating figure about to leave the restaurant, he bit his lower lip, a flicker of struggle on his face. Then, hesitantly, he stood up and followed.

Cheng Yuhang frowned as he saw You Shou suddenly chase after a stranger. A bad feeling instantly crept over him.

He also got up immediately and, with a dark expression, followed You Shou out.

Waiter: ????

Hello? Does anyone even see her?!

Just as An Yi stepped outside into the relatively quieter corridor, he felt quick footsteps catching up from behind.

He frowned slightly and turned around, only to find that it was You Shou and the flashy-shirted Cheng Yuhang who had followed.

He subtly stepped back two steps to keep a safe distance.

But then, You Shou actually stopped right in front of him.

An Yi: ??

You Shou stared at An Yi, his heart pounding, face even redder. He bit his lip, not knowing what to say, and finally, timidly and without context, blurted out: "H-h-hello... I-I'm You Shou."

At this moment, Cheng Yuhang also caught up. He grabbed You Shou's arm, frowning at him, and then gave An Yi a hostile look.

When he saw An Yi's extremely handsome face and refined bearing, his expression instantly darkened, looking furious, as if his territory had been invaded.

Sensing Cheng Yuhang's displeasure, You Shou quickly whined in a tearful, soft voice: "Brother Yuhang... I-I have something important to discuss with this gentleman. It's really important! Could you... wait over there for a moment?"

He pointed to the end of the corridor, his eyes pleading, looking torn between An Yi and Cheng Yuhang, and looking pitiful and helpless.

An Yi: Huh?

Cheng Yuhang clenched his fists, glaring at An Yi with a dark look. But under You Shou's gentle pleading, he barely suppressed his anger, snorted coldly, turned around, and walked a dozen meters away. There, he stood with arms crossed, still staring intently in their direction.

An Yi was baffled, completely unable to understand what game You Shou was playing. They didn't even know each other, did they?

Once Cheng Yuhang was far away, You Shou turned back to face An Yi, still hesitant and stammering, his voice as faint as a mosquito: "Um... President An... back in the restaurant, did you... hear anything... or see anything?"

He looked up with watery eyes, carefully observing An Yi's expression.

An Yi was speechless.

Did he really want others to see? What was he trying to do? Was he also a part of their play?!

The thought immediately made An Yi feel awful.

He shook his head and replied flatly, "No."

Then he turned to leave, not wanting to deal with this source of trouble anymore.

However, You Shou seemed to have made up his mind. He took two quick steps and blocked An Yi's path.

He looked up, his face a complex mix of shyness, nervousness, and a look of burning his bridges, and said to An Yi: "President An! If... if you did see something, please don't get the wrong idea..."

He paused, his voice even lower, almost a whisper: "My husband... Rong Zhengqi works at your company. He really needs this job. Please don't take it out on him!"

"If... if you have any needs... I... I'm willing to do anything for you..."

After saying this, he quickly lowered his head, his ears bright red, thinking secretly: *If it's someone as good-looking and wealthy and powerful as President An, then I'm not losing out anyway.*

Seeing You Shou's suddenly flushed face with flickering eyes as if filled with endless charm, An Yi was completely speechless.

An Yi: "..."

Is he trying to set me up?!
