As the Minor Gay Love Rival in Het Novels

Chapter 6.2

Though Fan Yuan desperately wished to be one with the background, reality would never allow it as he had to uphold something very elusive — character.

The reason he called it ‘elusive’ was because this thing sounded very simple, but was actually quite difficult to truly grasp, especially when there were such scenes like this where his role seemed pretty big, yet from start to finish, he had been playing the role of a soy sauce. It was really hard to clearly grasp his character, it was even harder than ascending to Heaven!

As a minor gay love rival in this story, the original host, Bai Yuan, led a very strange life. He had an extremely powerful master, and he himself was very established in martial arts. Furthermore, the earlier parts of this story were almost all about the male and female lead, plus this minor gay love rival, travelling together. No matter how you looked at it, this guy was the standard, excellent second male lead, a proper main supporting role.

However, all of the author’s words were dedicated to how the female lead saved countless lives with her amazing medical skills, and would immediately get up in arms if she witnessed any injustice. Besides that, the author would only talk about how the male lead devoted himself to vanquishing evil, and how much he pampered his wife like a faithful dog. As for their companion, the supporting male lead? who cares? ? ?

Fan Yuan flipped back and forth through the first half of the script several times, and found that the author really seemed to have forgotten the existence of the original host. It was only towards the middle portion of the story when the male lead accidentally discovered that the female lead was a girl, his entire person entered a state of uncontrollable excitement that was yet intermingled with utmost confusion. And that’s when he remembered, ‘Oh! I still have a brother!’, and finally went to find the supporting male lead to pour his heart out.

What came after was the most important part. After listening to the male lead, the original host had barely enough time to digest the fact that his “brother” was actually a woman, and immediately after, he found out that his other brother had fallen in love with said “brother”! This kind of feeling was purely sour, almost shockingly so, and it felt as if the sky was going to fall, okay? Because at the same time, he realised that he also had feelings for the male lead!

As Fan Yuan read on, he could detect the author’s sinister intentions. F*ck, the guy didn’t even show his face in the earlier part of the story, and you now throw him into a deep pit of love just like that. What’s worse is that you made him fall in love with his brother! This wasn’t even the complicated part, the worst thing was that you made it so that the male lead fancied someone else in the blink of an eye!

＃It hadn’t even begun and his crush had been crushed＃

＃Experiencing the feeling of first love and rejection at the same time＃

＃It hurts, want to cry _(:з」∠)_＃

The original host was deeply hit, but he wasn’t some kind of gentleman. The earlier part of the story mentioned that he was a member of the demon sect, a right vanguard raised by the leader himself. Naturally, he wouldn’t passionately give his blessings and silently leave. Since the commencement of the story, the plot had already progressed for several months, and at this time, the original host was finally filled with rage.

On the surface, the original host comforted the male lead, letting the male lead calm down and clear his mind. However, the next night, the original host secretly piped in dizzying smoke into the male lead’s room. That’s right, he wanted to force himself on the male lead.

Although the original host was ambitious and brave enough to do this, this was a Mary Sue story. Could the male lead lose his innocence so easily? Impossible! He had to save his precious virginity for the female lead!

Hence, when the original host climbed into the male lead’s bed in a very obscene and improper manner, he was instantaneously kicked to the floor by the male lead to eat mud. Yes, the golden finger of the male lead worked its magic, he was immune to poison!

The original host was humiliated. He had held his breath as he entered, and even made sure that the male lead had passed out before he dared to act. Now, he didn’t just fail in what he had set out to do, but he was also given a big ass kick. He felt extremely ashamed as he returned to his room. After giving it some thought, he felt that he and the male lead could no longer be brothers in the future. It was better for him to pack up and run away.

On the other hand, the male lead was super confused. He was feeling bleary from his deep sleep, so when he realised that someone was climbing into his bed, he subconsciously stretched out his feet. When he heard an “OUCH”, he knew it was his brother. He was just about to explain that he didn’t mean to kick him, but the other party had already gotten up from the ground and ran off.

“This is&#k2026;&#k2026;sleepwalking???” (&#kUUR3;&#k53R3;&#kUUR3;&#kUU1K;)

Meanwhile, Bai Yuan, the sleepwalker, never returned after that night he ran away.

The male and female lead waited for him at the inn for several days. Later, they assumed that he had gone home and embarked on their sweet journey.

When they met again, the plot had already progressed to the point where the identity of the three had completely been revealed &#k2014; as enemies.

Fan Yuan gave a laugh. Author, you bastard, how freakin’ lazy are you? If you didn’t want to write about this big light bulb, just say it! It’s one thing to just ignore him the entire time, but why do you have to force him away with this kind of dog blood setting? What was this stuff about failing in drugging someone and getting kicked, it was simply too f*cking embarrassing! He really couldn’t read on! QAQ

Despite it being so humiliating, that part of the plot wasn’t actually the main problem. The main problem was, Fan Yuan had no idea what kind of person the original host was! Author, could you give him a few more lines, more descriptions about his inner thoughts?! This chap is a proper second male lead, why are you playing around like this?!

If it was before, it was fine if he didn’t know the personality of the character he was playing, he could just freely improvise. It was fine even if he created a few plot holes, but now......with his body that could cause people to become bent at will, he had to think carefully about even uttering a simple word. He didn’t dare to even eat two more pieces of snacks!

To this end, Fan Yuan just wanted to look up at the sky and roar, “My good male leads and supporting male leads, us gays have no prospects, please spare us!”

Coming back to the plot at this moment, the male and female lead were currently confronting a fierce man, the atmosphere was very tense and heavy.

Fan Yuan kept a wooden face as he blended into the background, watching the scene quietly. He looked at the big man facing them with a little worry. He really wanted to deliver a very clichéd line, “You refuse to walk to the righteous path of the Heavens, yet you wish to barge into the shut gates of Hell.” Next, the fellow could receive his beating from the male and female lead. Please take care, my man.

While Fan Yuan was spacing out, the male lead had already taken out his Cloud Swallowing Sword. The sword hadn’t even exited its sheath when the fierce man on the other side had already gotten scared out of his wits. Trembling in fear, he put on a fierce voice, “This master has some matters to attend to today, I won’t play with you guys anymore. You two can deal with that woman however you’d like!”

After that, he frantically pushed his way out of the crowd. The onlookers around him pointed fingers at him, mocking him for his lack of backbone. On the other hand, Fan Yuan looked at the man with newfound appreciation. Why would a good man set himself up for an impending loss? If he wasn’t able to win, he should recognise his lack of ability and admit defeat. Don’t tell him that the guy should have served himself up on a silver platter for a big, fat beating?

The female lead spent a good while comforting the lady, and when she saw that the girl had finally stopped crying, she gave her a few taels of silver before heading off.

The three turned and left silently. The crowd behind them gradually dispersed, and the woman in white stared at the direction they left in, kneeling there for a long time.

*******************

The three of them chose a high-grade inn for accommodation. The male lead was originally from a famous family. Although he had suffered a lot, he still demanded quite a good quality of life. Moreover, the female lead was the direct disciple of Shenyi Valley. From young, she had been raised in fine food and clothing, never living poorly. Travelling with the two of them, there was no need to worry about food, clothing, accommodation, or transport. Fan Yuan could only say that he was very satisfied.

The three ordered a table full of dishes. Although he was already salivating, Fan Yuan didn’t dig in at once. Instead, he scanned the room carefully. It wasn’t that he was overly paranoid, it was just that he had been frightened too much in the past half a month, so he had to be more careful.

There was a kind of protagonist aura called, “Wherever they went, trouble would come knocking”. It was obvious that the female lead, Xiao Ziyun, had this particular aura, and it was very powerful at that. When eating outside, eight times out of ten, she would run into accidents. If it wasn’t a tyrant who bullied the weak, it was a casanova who flirted with women from good families, or it could even be an elderly person who suddenly fell seriously ill. To sum it up, all these kinds of situations would emerge in an endless stream. It was harder to enjoy a meal in peace than do a good deed!

After he ascertained that there was no sick old man, no tyrant, and no casanova, he quietly picked up his chopsticks and reached for a plate of fish head with chopped peppers.

“Wait!” The female lead suddenly shouted.

Fan Yuan’s eye twitched and he almost cried out. He resisted the voice of complaint within his heart and glanced at the female lead calmly. The male lead had already asked, “What’s the matter, Brother Xiao?”

Xiao Ziyun smiled, “It’s nothing important.”

Fan Yuan silently clenched his grip around his chopsticks. On the outside, his face was indifferent, but his heart was already in tears. Nothing’s wrong? If nothing’s wrong, why won’t you let us eat!

Xiao Ziyun seemed to be a little embarrassed. She held up her glass of wine and apologised, “When little brother was back at home, my master and his wife overly indulged me, so when little brother speaks, I often go out of line. Older brothers have been very tolerant of me, little brother is really grateful. Little brother would like to give a toast.”

After that, she downed her glass. Seeing this, Gao Sui hurriedly said, “Brother Xiao speaks too seriously. We are two years older than you, it’s natural to take care of you. Besides, you are skilled in medicine, who knows if we need your help one of these days. Brother Bai, don’t you think so as well?”

Fan Yuan gave a meager smile as his eyes inadvertently swept across the delicious food on the table. The sadness on his face was real. He sighed quietly, “I am an orphan, I have been wandering outside since I was a child. I have fought with beggars for food, I have fought with wild dogs for a place to rest, I have suffered from everything.” As he said this, he picked up a piece of braised pork, “Before I was ten, I hadn’t even tasted meat.”

After that, he put the braised meat into his mouth, chewing on it quickly before swallowing it. He then revealed his true feelings, “I was adopted by my father later on, but I didn’t have any brothers. Ever since then, this is my first time leaving home and venturing out alone. When I met two like-minded brothers, my heart was filled with gratitude. How can I blame little brother?”

Fan Yuan’s eyes reddened a little when he finally succeeded in eating the meat. Gao Sui and Xiao Ziyun thought that he was feeling sad from remembering the memories of his childhood. They began to comfort him, “Those times are over. From here on out, we are your brothers.”

Fan Yuan was visibly moved, “Quick, dig in, the food is going cold. What I hoped for most when I was a child was a simple hot meal like this.”

The two of them were worried that Fan Yuan would be reminded of the tragic experience from his childhood again, so they hurriedly agreed and started eating in silence, never mentioning how things were like for them at home in the past.

At this moment on the second floor, a man in black robes leaned against the railing, drinking wine. When he saw the scene downstairs, the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

The man beside him with a stone-cold face bent over and asked in a low voice, “Master, do you want me to inform the owner?”

He waved his hand, and the man beside him immediately shut up and said nothing more.

*******************

Having the most efficient meal since his arrival, Fan Yuan was satisfied to the point that he could break out in song, but he restrained himself.

They ordered a pot of green tea and spent some time drinking while chatting. Then, the female lead proposed they head to the temple’s lantern festival together. Naturally, the male lead raised his hands in approval. They two who were in agreement turned to look at Fan Yuan.

Fan Yuan silently stared out of the window and spoke with a slightly complicated expression, “It’s still bright out, the temple festival hasn’t started yet.”

Male lead: (⊙?⊙)...

Female lead: (⊙o⊙)...

＃These two really are the male and female leads?!＃

＃The bloodbath of the Jianghu really doesn’t suit you two＃

＃Please hurry home and make babies, ok?!＃

Since they couldn’t go to the temple festival for the time being, they could only go back to their guest rooms to rest. Fan Yuan fell on the bed and rolled around happily, and only then did he remember to ask, “Xiao Wu, you said someone came just now? I was too engrossed in eating and missed what you said.”

The mechanical sound from Xiao Wu contained some hints of gritted teeth, “Ding, it was Yang Chengtian.”

Fan Yuan rubbed his chin pensively. Wasn’t Yang Chengtian the leader of the demon sect? The original host’s old man? In the original story, this guy was a bigger soy sauce than other soy sauces, so why did he come?

However, it didn’t come as a surprise to meet Yang Chengtian at this time as the plot didn’t really give any detail about the original host’s encounters. The problem was how to deal with him if they really bumped into each other — the man was a crazy demon lord, if he accidentally rubbed the man in the wrong way, things would surely be fun.......

He grabbed the quilt on the bed and gave it a few good punches, “Where is Yan Rui, that son of a bitch!”

The mistaken sleepwalking...orz why do I feel like I’m watching a gag
