Summary:
"None of my exes have been deleted. If you can accept that, we'll get married on the spot."
Sitting across from him, the handsome man named He Qiao fell silent for a moment, his expression strangely unreadable. Then, to Chi Xueyan's surprise, he actually nodded.
Not only that, but He Qiao calmly explained that he was actually a transmigrator-someone who had entered the world of a novel. He knew that Chi Xueyan was the villainous supporting character in this story, fated to become engaged to the protagonist, Lu Siyi. As his love for Lu Siyi turned increasingly obsessive and one-sided, he would gradually lose himself, commit countless wrongs, and ultimately die a tragic death.
He Qiao didn't have the heart to watch the currently lively and carefree Chi Xueyan meet such a miserable fate. So, he proposed a contract marriage to help him avoid the novel's doomed storyline. Besides, He Qiao was just a career-driven workaholic straight man who wanted to use his knowledge of the novel to build a successful business and benefit society.
Listening to this bizarre explanation, Chi Xueyan suddenly had an epiphany-a masterstroke.
Retreating in order to advance, using a textbook case of paranoid delusion to scare away blind-date partners. A true expert.
Silently taking notes on this technique, Chi Xueyan waved for the bill as a token of appreciation.
Shortly after, he happened to run into a man who perfectly matched his aesthetic ideal-a stunningly handsome stranger. Without hesitation, he made a move, wanting to get his name and contact information.
The man's expression remained cold as he replied, "Lu Siyi."
Chi Xueyan: ......!!!
That name was way too familiar.
-
Two weeks later, under the watchful eyes of friends and family, Chi Xueyan and his eleventh blind-date partner-mysterious transmigrator He Qiao-gazed deeply into each other's eyes as they exchanged rings and a kiss.
At first, He Qiao was extremely wary of the scheming and ruthless villain Chi Xueyan. Once they successfully fooled their families and got married, his plan was to focus entirely on his business, keeping their lives separate and uninvolved.
However, as Chi Xueyan finally settled down from all the chaos, he started seriously studying the novel's plot. This led to him frequently dropping by He Qiao's company.
But unlike what the employees had imagined, their "haughty and meddlesome" CEO's spouse didn't cause trouble. Most of the time, Chi Xueyan simply curled up on the office sofa with a small blanket, quietly reflecting on his fictional life.
Occasionally, he would suddenly lift his head and ask, "Did Lu Siyi really never like me, not even a little?"
"...No."
"Tsk, no taste." Chi Xueyan scoffed, rolling over. "How did he even become the male lead? You're clearly way better than him."
For some reason, He Qiao found his investment reports suddenly... unappealing.
What a scheming little villain.
-
On their first wedding anniversary, He Qiao prepared the most romantic dinner and the most vibrant roses. As Chi Xueyan stared at him in confusion, He Qiao finally asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time.
"You have a good temper, and you sleep quietly, so..." He Qiao's tone was deliberately casual. "Did you really not delete any of your exes?"
Chi Xueyan: ......
What a scheming straight man.

[Ultimate push-and-pull dynamics between a villain couple.]
--
Chapter One, start!
On the light green dental chair, the little girl held the doll in her hand tightly, and there were still a little wet tears on her cheek. She looked at the doctor in a white coat beside her with an uneasy face.
It hurts so much when you put the anesthetic into your mouth, and it will definitely hurt more when you pull out your teeth.
... She doesn't want to pull it out. She wants to go home.
The little girl looked at her parents who were waiting next to her as if asking for help and wanted to get off the dental chair. Before they could open their mouths to comfort them, the doctor beside her spoke first.
"Would you like to make a bet with me?" The young doctor has a very eye-catching hair color. He is wearing a mask and can only see a pair of clear eyes. At this moment, he is smiling, "May I call you Xiaohui?"
The dull sense of anesthesia spread in the mouth. Xiaohui nodded and asked softly anxiously, "What are you betting on?"
"I bet you don't know when the teeth were pulled out." The doctor approached her with a silver tool in his hand and said in a relaxed tone, "I want to take another look at this extra tooth."
Xiao Huiyi opened her mouth and still looked at the doctor nearby nervously.
In the middle of summer, the strong sunlight poured in unscrupulously from the transparent window, soaking the doctor's red hair almost as if it were burning.
This is the first time she has seen someone with red hair in her life. It's so special.
It's so painful to pull out her teeth. How can she not know when she pulled out her teeth?
Why is the doctor still looking at her teeth?
Xiaohui's thoughts were confused. She subconsciously wanted to move her mouth, and she heard the doctor's soft voice: "I've seen a cartoon. The mermaid in it has long red hair."
Xiaohui also saw it and was about to speak when she heard the doctor say in a very attractive tone, "But I know a very different mermaid story."
So she blinked her eyes and returned her attention to the doctor's soft and bright red hair, which was like a dream in the golden sunlight. There were still rotten paintings on the wall of the clinic behind him.
The doctor whispered a fresh story she had never heard before.
Sea, fishtail, coral, red hair, prince, foam...
When she came back from the fairy tale world, the extra teeth were lying quietly on the tray.
Mom and Dad were thanking the doctor, and their tone was surprised and happy: "Dr. Chi is so awesome. It's almost over. We're still worried that Huihui is moving around."
Dr. Chi took off his gloves and mask and smiled at her: "I won, Xiaohui."
The red-haired mermaid in the cartoon is very beautiful, and the red-haired doctor in the children's dentist is also very beautiful.
Seeing the child staring at her blankly, Chi Xueyan rubbed her head with a smile: "Give you another chance to turn defeat into victory. Can you bite the cotton ball for half an hour?"
When Xiaohui heard the words, she immediately clenched the cotton ball used to stop the bleeding and nodded vigorously with her cheeks bulging. Her serious appearance made the adults next to her laugh.
When Chi Xueyan explained the precautions after tooth extraction and seed the reluctant children leave, the clock on the wall had already pointed to 5:20 p.m.
I'm off work in ten minutes.
Chi Xueyan sat down in front of the computer and confirmed the patient who made an appointment next Monday. His schedule is from Monday to Friday. The assistant behind him packed up the used tools and repositioned the dental chair.
The busy day was coming to an end, and colleagues were talking in twos and threes outside the house, discussing what to eat at night.
The new doctor in the next clinic walked to his door and knocked on the door: "Dr. Chi, the child just walked out while grapping her parents' clothes and saying that he would come again next time. It's so funny."
"Children are obviously most afraid of seeing a doctor." He looked at the back of the people in the room and said half-jokingly, "Dr. Chi is more charming."
Chi Xueyan casually wrote today's summary report and responded politely: "Xiaohui is very good when she pulls out her teeth."
The man at the door thought for a moment, put his hands in the pockets of his open white coat, and pretended to be inadvertent, "Today is Friday. Do you have any plans after work?"
After leaving a rather wanton signature at the end of the report, Chi Xueyan got up without turning his head: "I'm going to the party tonight."
He took off his white coat, revealing his simple black T-shirt and jeans, and took out a bag from the locker, which also had another brand-new white coat.
The doctor who came to talk to me was just the opposite. The carefully matched white shirt and leisure pants, and the luxury trademarks on the belt buckle were quite eye-catching. Hearing the words, he immediately said, "What are you gathering..."
Before he finished asking, Chi Xueyan suddenly remembered, "By the way, I have to go on a blind date on the way."
Then he grabbed the bag and simply said goodbye to the other party: "I'll go first, Dr. Xu."
When leaving the clinic, Chi Xueyan caught a glimpse of the unhappy eyes of the other party. She didn't care, but just accelerated her pace.
He hated the smell of perfume pretending to be refreshing.
All the colleagues in the clinic who have been together for a long time know his sexual orientation. The new dentist has obviously heard of it, but unfortunately it is destined to be a waste of time.
Chi Xueyan is a very picky person. She has remained single so far, and she has no interest in such people who can see through their minds at a glance.
He walked into the elevator to the basement. A moment later, a gem blue sports car drove out of the garage and joined the dense traffic in the evening.
While waiting for the traffic light at the intersection, Chi Xueyan glanced at his mobile phone, and there was a lot of new information on the chat page.
There was a small group chat of clinic colleagues, and Dr. Xu sent "Happy Weekend" privately.
A friend excitedly sent a video of arranging the party venue, urging him to come early at night.
There was also a message from his mother, reminding him not to forget to meet someone later.
He raised his eyebrows, put down his mobile phone, and looked ahead again.
The green light soon turned on, and the dazzling sports car flew away. The slightly hot wind brushed the red hair on Chi Xueyan's cheek and brushed a pure black earring, showing a little scattered and unrestrained, which was completely different from Dr. Chi, who treated children gently and patiently during the day.
Unfortunately, today, the blind date event once a month coincided with the theme party carefully prepared by friends. After considering it, Chi Xueyan planned to make a quick decision and end the blind date as soon as possible.
Anyway, according to the information introduced to him by his mother, he and the blind date he is going to meet are likely to not get along, so it is better to save each other's time.
His mother, Han Zhenzhen, had a simple awe of some ancient metaphysical methods. When he was a child, a master told Chi Xueyan's fortune, saying that he must not act alone in his feelings in the future, otherwise it would lead to disaster and make his life turn and bleak.
Therefore, Han Zhenzhen was particularly wary of Chi Xueyan's emotional dynamics. Fortunately, when he was a student, he basically only cared about playing and did not think about falling in love at all. When he got older, peach blossoms flocked to him. He was afraid that Han Zhenzhen, who was out of control after he fell in love freely, would simply start a blind date.
When he grew up, Chi Xueyan was very disdainful of the fortune-telling master's words. He felt that this was obviously a reasonable nonsense. Whether it was feelings or other things, whether the end of stubbornness was very good or extremely bad, the probability of the latter was obviously greater.
Han Zhenzhen has fully investigated all the blind dates when choosing blind dates, and strived to achieve a balance between family satisfaction and Chi Xueyan's liking, so that she is not single-hearted.
Considering that he had a veto vote and didn't want his mother to worry all the time, Chi Xueyan finally agreed to go on a blind date, but only once a month, just to meet some new friends after work.
When Chi Xueyan walked into the cafe, the blind date arranged for him by his mother had arrived and was sitting at the table by the window waiting.
The other party's back is straight, his shoulders are broad, his figure seems to be good, and his dress is quite formal.
Chi Xueyan recalled what his mother said - the He family is a businessman. His family is extremely noble and the family relationship is harmonious. From his parents to his brother, he spoils the youngest son quite a lot, so he is simple and pure and easy to get along with.
According to his understanding, it is too simple and easy to be deceived.
Chi Xueyan doesn't like this type, even if the other party's appearance is very outstanding.
He sat down, and the two strangers greeted each other briefly and politely.
"How long have you been waiting?"
"I didn't wait long. I just arrived."
The most standard questions and answers, next we should talk about the weather at the moment, the road conditions when we came, and then try to extend to each other's hobbies, occupations and families.
Just imagining it, Chi Xueyan felt that it was enough.
In the subtle embarrassment of trying to turn to the next topic, he said in a joking tone, "I have a hot temper and slept and cried countless exes without deleting them. If you can accept it, we will get the certificate on the spot."
Listening to his crisp and neat self-introduction, the handsome face of the blind date kept changing, from confusion to surprise to determination.
Finally, he nodded slowly: "Okay."
...?
Chi Xueyan, who was about to leave, was stunned by the man's very serious eyes.
Did he hear it wrong?
However, the solemn tone of the other party showed that this was not an auditory hallucination.
"Mr. Chi, I need to tell you something."
Ten minutes later.
"...In short, to put it simply, you are the villain in this novel world."
The calm and magnetic voice flowed in the corner of the cafe. When the man finally finished speaking, the air suddenly fell into a subtle stillness.
Chi Xueyan turned his head, and a wisp of flowing light was covered with the black earrings in his ear, which was a delicate and small snowflake shape, blooming with the incredible emotion in his eyes.
After a long time, he almost digested what the other party said before he thought of something. He asked the amazing blind date object: "So what's my end?"
In the other party's serious expression, a little hesitation finally emerged.
He avoided Chi Xueyan's gaze, with a kind of uneasyness born of kindness, and whispered, "The ending is not very good."
The man was wearing a well-cut suit with excellent texture. The famous watch worn on his wrist was half hidden under the cuffs. His whole posture showed good education, but he did not look noble, which made Chi Xueyan have the impression of being handsome, gentle, innocent and friendly at first sight, plus the boredom that could see the end at a glance.
Now, this boredom has disappeared.
He answered euphemistically, but Chi Xueyan was in the interest and took the initiative to ask, "Is it bankruptcy, rebellion, or death?"
Chi Xueyan thought that the villains in ordinary novels are nothing more than these endings.
The man frowned slightly and said frankly a few seconds later, "All you said are all you said."
That is, he died after he had nothing.
It seems that this villain is bad enough.
It is quite offensive to say such curse words to people, so the man's eyes moved away from the coffee cup and tried to observe the reaction of Chi Xueyan.
To his surprise, the blind date with dazzling red hair showed no sign of anger. Instead, he smiled, and even showed a few interest in his eyes.
"What do I do in the novel?" He asked, "What's your profession?"
The man was a little surprised about this question: "You work in your home company, but you don't often go there."
Chi Xueyan thought for a moment and translated accurately, "That is, the rich second generation who only knows how to fall in love without doing anything... Well, before that? Where do I work?"
As if playing a guessing game, he took the initiative to remind him, "I just got off work. It's a formal job that has nothing to do with my family, from nine to five."
He and his mother both found it interesting to admire the surprised expression of strangers when they heard about their occupation, so they did not specifically inform the blind date about their current occupation.
The other party was obviously stunned, and replied after a moment, "I don't know. It's not written in the book."
Chi Xueyan shook her head with a smile and joked, "I think you may have read pirated books."
What kind of novel will make a child dentist a villain?
The temperament is completely wrong, and it's almost the same if it's a surgeon.
After laughing, Chi Xueyan cleared his throat and said seriously, "Mr. He, in fact, I really want to make an appointment with you for dinner now. The hot pot restaurant across the street tastes very good."
He glanced at the brightly colored signboard of the hot pot restaurant across the road, with a slightly regretful tone: "But I respect your idea and won't waste your time, and I also have other plans."
"But seriously, I like the story you just told. These two cups of coffee are mine."
Without waiting for the other party to react, Chi Xueyan waved to the waiter to pay the bill and said casually, "Use improper reasons. You can tell your uncle and aunt that it's my problem. No one is rude or something. Whatever you want, you can do."
After skillfully arranging the ending of the blind date, he shook his mobile phone and smiled, "Add a friend? In case you need a more complete package, I can cooperate.
After a short pause, the man sitting opposite nodded. Without saying anything more, he also turned on his mobile phone: "Okay, thank you."
Chi Xueyan's chat list full of unread messages soon added a friend and a moderate greeting.
[I'm He Qiao.]
He Qiao is the eleventh blind date that Chi Xueyan met.
It is also the one that impressed Chi Xueyan the most so far.
After all, it should be rare for a person to seriously tell a stranger he meets for the first time that he is a time traveler.
According to He Qiao, the world they are in at the moment is a BL novel. The protagonist is different. Chi Xueyan is just a supporting role. He wishfully likes the protagonist, attacking Lu Siyi, so he made a marriage contract at all costs. Later, he became more and more paranoid in hopeless unrequited love, and did a lot of bad things to obstruct the two protagonists who truly loved each other. The well-deserved vicious villain finally ushered in a tragic ending.
And He Qiao is an outsider who traveled to the book, so he knows the plot. He can't bear to see Chi Xueyan, who still doesn't know Lu Siyi, end up like this, so he proposes to marry him to avoid the plot. Anyway, he is a workaholic straight man who only wants to use the information development cause in the book to benefit the masses.
The logic is interlocked, which sounds like it can justify itself.
Unfortunately, no normal person will easily believe these words, including Chi Xueyan, of course.
After the initial shock, he listened and gradually understood He Qiao's intention.
Take progress as retreat, and use typical schizophrenic conjective symptoms to scare away blind dates.
Master.
As an unlucky person who was forced to participate in a blind date, he couldn't help but feel a little pity and a little regret for He Qiao, who has a huge brain.
It is much more difficult to tell adults a serious story about books than to tell children the story of mermaids.
If he had known that He Qiao, who is boring on the surface, is this kind of eccentric character who is full of talking about running the train, Chi Xueyan would not have wanted to end this blind date so quickly. It's good to chat casually as a friend, and maybe we can go to the party together later.
The coffee in the cup was only a little lighter than when it was served. Chi Xueyan took a last sip, got up formally, and said goodbye to the man who seemed to be in a daze opposite.
"It's a pleasure to chat with you." He said generously, "I'll go first. Goodbye."
He Qiao looked at him and said in response, "Goodbye."
When he went out, Chi Xueyan clicked on He Qiao's personal information page on his mobile phone and habitually added a note for him: Xiao Eleven.
The eleventh blind date partner, so it is Xiao Eleven.
It's too tiring to remember so many names, and the number is easy to recognize.
And this number sounds quite cute. He likes nicknames that start with small letters.
So at the moment when he passed by, He Qiao was a little stunned to catch a glimpse of the sunlight deeply blurred on the red hair, outlining the three-dimensional outline of his fair side face. In the vivid light and shadow, Chi Xueyan's eyes and fingertips swam casually on the screen. I don't know what he saw, but the corners of his pale lips were slightly raised, and the room was full of coffee fragrance. There seemed to be a very light laugh in the air.
That's a particularly strong impression.
There was the sound of the opening and closing of the cafe door from behind. He Qiao subconsciously turned his head and stared out of the window, looking at the dazzling back sitting in the gem blue sports car, and then completely disappeared at the end of sight, leaving only the same crimson signboard of the hot pot restaurant opposite.
He looked at the signboard in a dad not know how long it took until the mobile phone rang.
The caller is He Xiao.
He Qiao withdrew his mind, took the initiative to greet him after taking the initiative to say, "Brother."
He Xiao's gentle voice came from the microphone: "Are you done talking? How about it?"
"It doesn't fit well."
He Qiao's voice was bright and a little apologetic, but the warm look on his face gradually faded, which was different from Fang Cai.
He Xiao asked with concern, "Why? Are you not satisfied with him?"
He Qiao used a slightly low tone without any waves: "No, Mr. Chi is very good. It's my problem. For him, I may be too boring."
The waiter passing by stared at the strange scene with some surprise.
He Qiao didn't care about it and gently tapped the table with his fingers.
The brother on the other end of the phone smiled and said, "How do you think so? Is that what he said?"
"No, I think so myself." He Qiao conscientiously played a stupid brother who grew up in a greenhouse. Even if he was sad, it was short-lived. "By the way, I just saw a new car with a very cool style."
As a newcomer and still in the exploration period, he intends to maintain the original character for the time being.
He Xiao, my half-brother, always responds to his request: "I'll accompany you to choose the color on the weekend."
"Thank you, brother." He Qiao sighed excitedly, "Dad is going to say that I spent money indiscriminately again..."
"No." He Xiao smiled and said, "Just don't tell Dad. This is my gift to you."
In the atmosphere of brothers and sisters, the two talked about some daily trifles, and then He Xiao turned the topic back to the blind date.
"Do you still want to see Mr. Chi again later?" He Xiao was very patient, "He is a special person. I think you are very suitable."
"Is that so?" He Qiao looked a little hesitant, "I don't know... Let's talk about it again."
Chi Xueyan has rejected the proposal of marriage by agreement, so He Qiao intends to wait and see before making a plan.
He made this suggestion. On the one hand, he really couldn't bear to see Chi Xueyan, who was still normal at this time, ended in a tragic end. On the other hand, he also wanted to take this opportunity to fix the dangerous villain at a safe distance of non-interference in advance and turn passive into active.
He Xiao was very measured: "Okay, then you try to get along in private first."
The soft voice of the brother came from the mobile phone receiver. The porcelain-white coffee cup stood quietly beside him, and the residual body temperature on the hand had long disappeared. He Qiao couldn't help recalling the extremely warm red hair.
So, what is the occupation of this special vicious villain now?
After knowing Lu Siyi, Chi Xueyan in the book gave up almost all other hobbies, and did not mention what he had done in the past.
He Qiao was inexplicably a little curious. At some point, he even wanted to ask He Xiao, who arranged the blind date.
Next to the hot summer outside the window, he ended the call, untied his tie, broke the button at the top of his shirt, and after getting rid of the tight bondage, he breathed a sigh of relief and reminded himself not to think about it anymore.
You should not be curious about the villain, which is a dangerous thing.
The mobile phone on the table vibrated gently twice.
He Qiao looked down.
[Chi Xueyan: By the wast, I forgot to tell you just now.]
[Chi Xueyan: Your teeth are well cared for.]
