TYMRHBDES Chapter 147

A fluffy tail peeked out from beneath the skirt, wagging merrily.

The tip of the tail brushed against Pei Yu’s arm, sending a tingling sensation through him.

Pei Yu’s gaze darkened as he slowly tightened his grip around Jiang Luoluo’s waist, pulling him closer until they were pressed almost chest to chest.

The person in his arms tilted his head up, confused. They were so close that Pei Yu could clearly smell the strawberry jam on his cherry-red lips.

Pei Yu lowered his head, his breath catching in his throat as he gazed at the delicate face inches away.

The Little Fox blinked, his voice soft as he began, “Pei—”

The rest of the syllable was swallowed by Pei Yu’s mouth, along with the sweetness of the strawberry jam, in an overwhelmingly possessive kiss.

When they finally parted, Jiang Luoluo instinctively covered his tingling lips with his fingers.

The strawberry ice cream had long since melted on the ground, leaving a sweet scent lingering in the air.

Pei Yu cupped Jiang Luoluo’s cheeks in his hands, his deep, affectionate gaze lingering on every feature.

With his long, slender fingers, large palms, and intensely loving gaze, the gesture naturally conveyed the feeling of being held tenderly in his hands.

Pei Yu’s voice was deep and melodious. “Xiao Xi, let’s get married soon, okay?”

He never wanted to experience that feeling again—seeing his precious one coveted by others.

Jiang Luoluo blinked slowly.

Pei Yu lowered his gaze, his tone coaxing and seductive. “If you marry me, Xiao Xi, you’ll have an endless supply of ice cream.”

Jiang Luoluo’s mouth formed a perfect “O” as he buried his face in Pei Yu’s shoulder, then mentally complained to the System in shock.

“I’m a monster, but I’m not an idiot!”

“Pei Yu thinks he can win me over with just a few ice creams? Does he really underestimate my intelligence that much?!”

System: […]

It was hard to believe that its host, precious Luo Luo, actually thought he possessed intelligence!

Pei Yu’s hand remained firmly around Jiang Luoluo’s waist, his possessiveness radiating intensely.

“Xiao Xi is too innocent and doesn’t know how to protect herself.”

“Everyone in this world is a bad person except for me. They’ll all try to harm you.”

“So it’s best for you to marry me soon.”

Jiang Luoluo secretly pouted.

* I’m not even human in this world, just like I wasn’t human before…*

Back in the real world, Jiang Luoluo’s parents, the housekeeper, and the nanny were all good people who protected him.

* How could everyone in this world be evil?*

*Pei Yu must be bluffing.*

Jiang Luoluo rested his delicate chin on Pei Yu’s shoulder, his voice soft and gentle. “How could that be? How could everyone in the world be bad? There must be good people too!”

Pei Yu stroked the back of the person in his arms. “That’s because they’re all the same—they’re all human.”

Leaning back slightly, Pei Yu lowered his head, gazing down at the palm-sized face before him.

“But Xiao Xi is different. Xiao Xi isn’t human.”

The person in his arms tilted his head back to look up at him, his expression soft, adorable, and obedient.

“Humans tend to be more tolerant of their own kind.”

“In human customs, there’s a saying: ‘Those who are not of our kind must have different intentions.'”

“So, the moment outsiders discover that our Xiao Xi is a demon, they’ll tear off their hypocritical masks and resort to schemes, plots, and ruthless methods against you.”

A faint smile played on Pei Yu’s handsome face as his slender fingers traced Jiang Luoluo’s lips, his rough fingertip pressing lightly against them.

Jiang Luoluo’s crimson lips drained of color in an instant, only to regain their rosy hue when Pei Yu released his fingers.

Pei Yu’s voice was low and ominous:

“If the people outside knew our Xiao Xi was a monster, they would capture you immediately…”

“They would lock you in a dark, sunless research facility, draw your blood, study your brain, observe your behavior, and try to decipher everything about you…”

“Including your origins, your kind, your purpose…”

“Even if you managed to escape, there are even more twisted people out there.”

“They would adore a beautiful, delicate Little Fox Spirit like you. They would definitely lock you up, perhaps even chain you, and keep you in their homes, violating you repeatedly until your belly swelled with a litter of fox cubs…”

The dismissive smile on Jiang Luoluo’s face slowly faded, and a misty fear clouded his watery eyes as he clutched Pei Yu’s clothes tightly, gazing at him with a pitiful expression.

Pei Yu’s heart softened at the sight. He chuckled softly, a compassionate smile spreading across his face as he leaned in to kiss Jiang Luoluo’s rosy lips.

“I’m the only one who’s different. I genuinely love Xiao Xi, so I’ll protect him.”

Pei Yu’s slender fingers brushed against Jiang Luoluo’s jade-like cheek as he murmured softly, “I won’t lock Xiao Xi up, let alone chain him. I won’t force him to bear little fox cubs for me…”

Hearing Pei Yu’s dark and enigmatic voice, Jiang Luoluo instinctively touched his stomach and whispered, “Pei Yu, I really can’t have cubs.”

* I’m a male fox spirit. How could I possibly bear cubs? *

Pei Yu followed his gesture, his gaze pausing briefly on the Little Fox’s flat chest.

“I know,” Pei Yu said calmly. “You haven’t fully developed yet. How could you possibly have cubs?”

Before Jiang Luoluo could reply, a knock echoed at the door.

Zhang Hao pushed open the lounge door and immediately saw the two men embracing.

His lips twitched. The way he looked at Brother Pei these days was like gazing upon a decadent ruler who had abandoned his duties for pleasure.

“Brother Pei, it’s time for your next scene.”

Pei Yu nodded, patting the Little Fox’s head. “Be good, Xiao Xi…”

Jiang Luoluo sprang to his feet. “I want to watch you film too!”

Pei Yu’s gaze landed on Jiang Luoluo’s shoulder. Jiang Luoluo obediently picked up his jacket and put it on, trailing behind Pei Yu like a little tail.

After a few steps, Pei Yu suddenly sensed something was off. He stopped and looked at Jiang Luoluo with a puzzled expression.

“This morning, when I asked you to watch me film, you preferred to stay in the lounge.”

“Why are you suddenly so eager to follow me after just stepping out for a bit?”

“You don’t want to see me. You want to see Zhou Jing, don’t you?”

Though Pei Yu’s tone remained unchanged, Jiang Luoluo cautiously sensed the hidden emotion in his words.

He quickly protested, “How could that be?!”

Pei Yu grasped Jiang Luoluo’s small hand, his eyes darkening.

“Xiao Xi is new to this person, so you might not know much about him…”

Pei Yu’s handsome, unrestrained smile carried a hint of mockery. “Zhou Jing comes from a humble background. He toiled at the bottom of the industry for seven or eight years before suddenly rising to fame. Do you know why, Xiao Xi?”

Recalling the background information provided by the System, Jiang Luoluo murmured, “Because of hard work and luck?”

“Just excuses for outsiders,” Pei Yu sneered, his voice dripping with contempt. “The entertainment industry’s marketing powerhouse is run by a homosexual.”

“Zhou Jing spent some time with him and reaped a tidal wave of publicity, catapulting him to stardom.”

“There’s no luck involved—just dirty tactics of selling himself to climb the ladder!”

“Brother Pei…” Zhang Hao murmured, gesturing behind Pei Yu.

Zhou Jing stood right behind them.

Pei Yu lazily glanced back, meeting Zhou Jing’s impassive gaze.

He didn’t even bother to acknowledge him, his arrogance unwavering as he firmly wrapped his arm around Jiang Luoluo’s shoulder.

Jiang Luoluo, completely absorbed in Pei Yu’s words, hadn’t noticed Zhou Jing’s presence.

Recalling Zhou Jing’s gentle, mild-mannered demeanor from earlier, Jiang Luoluo whispered, “But Zhou Jing doesn’t seem like that kind of person… You must be mistaken.”

Pei Yu patted his head. “Regardless, our Xiao Xi should keep his distance from people like that in the future. We don’t want him picking up their bad habits…”

“After all, what good can come from someone who likes the same sex?”

***

Watching Pei Yu’s retreating figure, Zhou Jing’s assistant grew anxious.

“Jing-ge, why didn’t you explain? No wonder everyone misunderstands us…”

“Explaining won’t change anything,” Zhou Jing said calmly, straightening his doctoral attire. “You can’t prove the non-existence of something. Let them say what they want.”

The assistant pressed, “Jing-ge, you…”

“They wouldn’t believe me anyway.” Zhou Jing sighed, recalling past misunderstandings. “Alright, let’s go shoot the next scene.”

***

For the next few days, Jiang Luoluo followed Pei Yu to the film set.

He didn’t need to do much—just make his presence known to Pei Yu and let the man hold his hand. Pei Yu’s affection for him would then skyrocket.

But Pei Yu was taking the wedding preparations too seriously. Jiang Luoluo suspected that the moment filming wrapped, he’d be dragged off to get married.

Jiang Luoluo sighed softly.

Given Pei Yu’s views on homosexuality, what if the truth about him being a Little male Fox Spirit were to come out? Would Pei Yu kill him?

Meanwhile, the Pei Yu whom Jiang Luoluo imagined would kill him was currently in a bridal shop, meticulously selecting a wedding gown.

“This one won’t do. The fabric is too stiff; it’ll be uncomfortable.”

“This one’s too revealing.”

“This one’s too ordinary; it doesn’t suit you…”

“…”

Finally, Jiang Luoluo pointed to the most dazzling gown in the display window and casually remarked, “This one’s not bad either.”

“This gown isn’t available in the young lady’s size,” the shop manager said.

“Mr. Pei, your wedding date is too soon, and we have many orders ahead of yours. We won’t be able to fulfill your request in time. Otherwise, we could have custom-made a gown entirely by hand to your specifications.”

“Perhaps you’d like to consider other options? You know our designers, and our embroidery artisans are among the best in the country. I’m confident we can create something that will satisfy both you and your wife.”

The store manager’s mention of “your wife” clearly pleased Pei Yu. He took Jiang Luoluo’s hand and brought it to his lips for a kiss.

Pei Yu pulled out his phone and made a call. Ten minutes later, the store manager received a call, his expression shifting rapidly as he repeatedly said, “Yes, sir.”

Hanging up, the manager’s tone became noticeably obsequious. “President Pei, rest assured, our designers will visit you and your wife at your earliest convenience.”

Jiang Luoluo, oblivious to the change in the manager’s address, asked in surprise, “What happened?”

Pei Yu pinched his cheek lightly and chuckled. “Nothing much. I just acquired their brand.”

“Now, our Xiao Xi can wear the little dress he likes for our wedding.”

T/N; Pei Yu: “Let’s get married, Xiao Xi.”

Me, translating at 3 AM: “Let’s get coffee, Pei Yu.” ☕😭

The man bought a bridal brand just to make a gown, and I can’t even buy caffeine to survive this sugary madness.

If you giggled, blushed, or screamed, “HELP THIS MAN IS OBSESSED,” you owe your translator a Ko-fi. 🍓💋
