TYMRHBDES Chapter 181

The System was so terrified it shrank into a corner, trembling uncontrollably.

The villainous boss was too scary in this state.

He was too smart, too perceptive! It was almost terrifying!

The System suspected that if it had a physical body, it would be torn to shreds by him!

Its data would be scattered all over the floor, its chips smashed into dust, impossible to piece back together.

The System tried desperately to wake Jiang Luoluo, terrified he would say something the villainous boss couldn’t accept.

If the two of them fell out, the mission would fail!

But no matter how it tried to wake its host, Jiang Luoluo seemed to be in a deep coma, completely unresponsive.

Yet, in his hypnotized state, he would obediently answer Pei Yu’s questions.

“I don’t know.”

The little beauty, his long eyelashes casting shadows on his cheeks, spoke softly and honestly.

“I’ve forgotten all my past worlds.”

Pei Yu looked at him, a wave of silent despair washing over him.

“Will you forget me too?”

The man on the bed simply kept his eyes closed, remaining silent.

Pei Yu’s eyes were half-lidded, his sharp, cold profile etched with a tormented expression.

“Were you only with me to complete your mission?” he murmured, his voice a low, desperate whisper to himself. “And then you’ll leave me… to go conquer another man.”

“To be kissed by him, held by him, embraced by him…”

“And then you’ll fall in love with someone else…”

His long fingers traced the line of Jiang Luoluo’s arm, finally settling on the slender, fragile curve of his neck.

Then, he began to tighten his grip.

The System shrieked in terror, frantically calling Jiang Luoluo’s name.

‘Pei Yu has finally snapped!’

‘What is he doing?!’

‘He’s going to kill the Host!’

‘Aaaaaah!’

Overwhelmed by a mix of panic and shock, the System short-circuited and fainted.

Pei Yu’s fingers rested lightly on Jiang Luoluo’s neck, his dark, brooding gaze fixed on the other man’s face.

After a long moment, he let out a soft sigh and withdrew his hand. His handsome, wickedly charming face was a mask of complex emotion, the remnants of his inner struggle still visible.

Then, he leaned down and gently pressed his lips to Jiang Luoluo’s.

“I really want to die with you, Baby…”

“But you want to live…”

The person asleep in bed was completely unaware that danger had once drawn near, only to quietly retreat.

Only his soft, tender lips were slightly swollen from being ground.

Pei Yu stared silently at his face, his thoughts unreadable.

The complexity in his deep black eyes slowly faded, replaced by a certain unwavering determination.

“One last question, Baby.”

“Do you like Pei Yu, even just a little bit?”

Pei Yu withdrew his finger from the corner of the other’s mouth and straightened his body.

‘Setting aside all those missions:’

‘Do you have even a shred of sincerity for me?’

‘Do you like me, even just a little bit?’

After asking, Pei Yu held his breath.

Though he was the one in control of everything, at this moment, he felt like the one being controlled.

A single, simple sentence from Jiang Luoluo could dictate all his joys and sorrows.

His entire heart, completely and utterly, was now in Jiang Luoluo’s hands…

The sleeping little beauty’s lips curved into a smile, carrying a hint of shy playfulness.

A blush bloomed across his fair face, a look of blissful love settling in. His voice was soft, the final note trailing off into a gentle lilt.

“I love him!”

Pei Yu’s expression froze.

His eyes, dark as ink, widened in disbelief.

In the scenario he’d prepared, he’d been content if his Baby only liked him a little. That would have been enough.

But what had he just heard?

‘He loves me too?’

Pei Yu’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed hard, a searing light dancing in his eyes. A burning heat surged through his chest, threatening to consume him.

He stood there for a long time, letting the overwhelming emotion boil over before he finally seemed to snap back to reality.

He carefully sat on the edge of the bed, then slipped under the covers, pulling his Baby tightly into his arms.

Two hearts pounded in unison, their beats falling into a perfect, synchronized rhythm.

The resonance of their shared love brought a sting of tears to Pei Yu’s eyes.

‘So, he loves me too.’

He tightened his hold, gazing down at the person in his arms without moving a muscle.

His Baby loved him.

With this,

He had enough…

***

Jiang Luoluo slept soundly.

He stretched, his arm brushing against his messy hair as he yawned, his eyes still half-closed and bleary from sleep.

The System, which had been trying to connect with him all night, finally succeeded.

Its steady, mechanical voice now carried a sense of urgency and panic:

【Host! Listen to me!!】

【****! The target knows you’re not from this world and that you appeared here to complete a mission!!】

Jiang Luoluo took a moment to process this, his almond-shaped eyes snapping open.

【Pei Yu also knows you’ve wooed others before!!】

【In his eyes, you’ve had many men in the past!!!】

【He’s so prone to jealousy! He’ll definitely force you to tell him who you like best, who’s the most capable!!!】

Immediately after, Jiang Luoluo heard the shower in the bathroom turn off, the sound of running water vanishing.

Pei Yu had finished bathing and was about to come out.

Jiang Luoluo panicked slightly, his round almond eyes wide on his pale, porcelain face: “What do I do then?”

His fair fingers tightened around the blanket as he whispered,

“I can’t answer him. He won’t hit me, will he?”

System: 【He choked you last night!】

【I suspect he’s gone mad! He’s trying to kill you!!】

Jiang Luoluo let out a short gasp, clutching her neck. Tears welled in her eyes from fright.

“What am I supposed to do?”

The sound of a hairdryer drifted from the bathroom. Pei Yu was already drying his hair.

Faint singing could be heard from inside. Pei Yu seemed to be in a good mood.

‘How can he still be in a good mood in this situation?’

Jiang Luoluo wrapped her small blanket tighter around herself.

‘It’s over, it’s all over!’

‘Pei Yu must have been driven insane by me!’

Jiang Luoluo’s face was a mask of terror. Her moist eyes darted around as she whispered a desperate plea:

“Turn me into a little vixen.”

“If you turn me into a little vixen, I won’t have to answer…”

System: 【I don’t have control over that, Host!】

The System thought for a moment, then started offering a terrible idea:

【Maybe you should just run away, Luoluo!】

【Based on my years of experience, after you run, he’ll have to go through the ‘wife-chasing crematorium’ phase, and then this whole mess will just blow over!】

Jiang Luoluo was so flustered he couldn’t think straight. He let out a convinced “Mm,” then slid off the bed, his legs dangling.

“So… so I’m running away?”

Before he could even steady his footing, the bathroom door swung open, and Pei Yu stepped out.

Their eyes met.

Jiang Luoluo thought, ‘I’m dead!’

System: 【Tsk!】

Pei Yu’s mood was still excellent as he walked toward him.

“Did you sleep well, wifey?”

Jiang Luoluo whimpered to the System, “Is he threatening me?”

System: 【Yes! Look, he’s holding a towel. He’s probably going to smother you with it in a moment!】

Jiang Luoluo: “!!!”

His legs gave out, and he landed on the floor with a soft *thud*.

The System, however, was jolted by his movement. It suddenly had an epiphany:

【Quick, quick, quick! Tell him you have amnesia!!】

Jiang Luoluo paused, his fingers still digging into the carpet. He lifted his pale, beautiful face, hesitating for a moment.

Then, he stammered out a lie, his voice as thin as a mosquito’s buzz:

“Pei… Pei Yu…”

“I… I have amnesia…”

System: 【…】

Pei Yu paused mid-step, his sword-like eyebrows arching slightly.

“Amnesia? Then how do you know my name is Pei Yu?”

Jiang Luoluo hastily covered his mouth.

His slender fingers obscured most of his face, leaving only a pair of moist, wide eyes exposed. Against his snow-white skin, they appeared strikingly dark and bright.

Pei Yu crouched down and smiled at him.

As his handsome face suddenly loomed close, the System kept chanting in Jiang Luoluo’s mind—’It’s over, it’s over, it’s over, he’s going to kill you’—scaring him so much he didn’t dare breathe.

He was torn over whether to confess—

After all, Pei Yu had always spoiled him.

Maybe if he hugged him and acted a little spoiled, Pei Yu wouldn’t be angry anymore.

Jiang Luoluo blinked again. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Pei Yu reach out and grasp his wrist.

“So you really *did* lose your memory…”

Jiang Luoluo didn’t know what he was trying to do, so he simply remained still.

Pei Yu’s deep gaze fell upon his face as he drew a conclusion:

“Even with amnesia, you still know my name is Pei Yu. It seems you’re just madly in love with me.”

Jiang Luoluo: “…”

Pei Yu reached out and scooped him up in a bridal carry, setting him down on the edge of the bed. He then grabbed a wet wipe and began meticulously cleaning the fingers that had been pressed into the floor moments ago.

His cool voice echoed in the air as Pei Yu lifted his eyelids, glancing at him with a half-smile.

“Tell me. How did you lose your memory?”

Jiang Luoluo paid no attention to his expression, focusing only on the ideas the System was feeding him in his mind.

He repeated every word the System said.

“I don’t know…”

“When I woke up, I was on the floor…”

After speaking, he followed the System’s advice and earnestly rubbed his own little head, his voice turning sweet and whiny: “It hurts so much…”

Pei Yu’s expression changed instantly. “Your head hurts?”

His handsome face turned serious as he held Jiang Luoluo by the shoulders, examining his head. “Where does it hurt?”

Seeing how earnest he looked, Jiang Luoluo felt even more guilty. He raised his small hand and pressed it just above his ear. “It hurts here…”

Pei Yu let out a questioning “Hmm?”

The System sighed. 【Luoluo, the first time you said it hurt, you were pointing to the back of your head.】

Jiang Luoluo: “…”

Who would have thought that since he couldn’t find an excuse, Pei Yu would start talking about it further.

“You toss and turn in your sleep at night. You might have fallen off the bed and hit your head, which is why you lost your memory.”

Jiang Luoluo nodded along guiltily.

Pei Yu looked at him, then suddenly picked him up and placed him on the bed.

His long fingers slid up from the boy’s waist and began to take off his clothes.

Jiang Luoluo was completely bewildered.

Pei Yu explained as he undressed him:

“You’ve lost your memory, so you don’t remember.”

“We do this several times every morning.”

Jiang Luoluo: “…”

As the loose pajamas were pulled off, Pei Yu looked at the stunned Jiang Luoluo beneath him, his expression exceptionally serious.

“Every time I don’t do this, you cry and beg me for it.”

“I have no choice. To satisfy you, I just have to work a little harder.”

Jiang Luoluo: “I have amnesia.” Pei Yu: “That means you’re madly in love with me.” HOW DOES HIS BRAIN WORK?! Meanwhile, I’m developing financial amnesia every time I check my empty Ko-fi. 🥲☕
