Don’t Wait for Your Boyfriend in the Crematorium

 

 

 

This time, the protagonist is not equipped with a system, and his name doesn’t even have the character “Ci” in it. It shouldn’t be like the two previous protagonists that were obsessed with the crematorium. Ren Shuhan thought dealing with this minor transmigrator would be easier. After all, his physique ended up getting worse.

 

He didn’t expect that the difficulty would still be increasing…

 

In short, this book was too dark, and it was only ruled by the protagonist’s halo. This made it seem like Ren Shuhan was some kind of desk lamp. Anyone who would end up too far away from this lamp would end up being engulfed by the darkness. , he unexpectedly finds himself in a world dominated by darkness,

 

Adding to the challenge is the absurd plot that cripples Ren Shuhan and turns his wife into a love rival, effectively suppressing his previously unbeatable confidence. He remains stunned for quite some time.

 

The system cautiously  speaks up: “…Host?”

 

Why on earth did I end up in this kind of book?

 

Ren Shuhan was lost in thought.

 

He was already in the crematorium while his wife was preparing to enter it. Does the whole world want to know that the crematorium is being entered by his whole family1By family he means him and Jiang Qingyue?

 

System: “…Friendly reminder to the host to check the original work. At present, the plot has entered an urgent state, and the crematorium scene has already begun.”

 

Wait, wait, wait! Ren Shuhan starts to panic. I haven’t done anything yet, right? But in my current state, I can’t do anything. Could it be… a terrifying thought crosses his mind!

 

The system reassures him, “No, there’s nothing like that. Please rest assured. Shi Xi is the shu in this story. It’s not a plot featuring two Gongs. However, when Shi Xi entered, you mocked him and made him go wash up.”

 

That’s the crematorium scene?

 

Ren Shuhan glances at the original text. He had indeed ridiculed him in just two sentences: “Hmm, your appearance is passable. Since you want it so badly, then stay tonight.”

 

It’s just two sentences, not an exaggeration. Yet, these two sentences lay the foundation for his fate. The next day, when he realizes Shi Xi is not a “toy,” Any Shuhan regrets deeply and wants to apologize. However, Shi Xi completely ignores him, leading Ren Shuhan to remark:

 

Ah, he’s an Interesting man.

 

The more he pursues him, the more captivated he becomes. Eventually, when Shi Xi deeply impresses him, Ren Shuhan rolls around in the crematorium while hoarse-voiced and with an intense gaze, asking Shi Xi, “Are you afraid of me? Why are you running away?”

 

He’s afraid of nothing!

 

Ren Shuhan wants to grab his scripted self and shout, “Wake up! This isn’t the dark side of some kind of mafia novel. What is there to fear about you?”

 

Moreover, as Ren Shuhan reads further, he receives another earth-shattering revelation:

 

Shi Xi is a small model.

 

His ex-boyfriend, a wealthy and handsome fashion designer, was in a seven-year relationship with him. Although the ex-boyfriend spent a lot of money on him and treated him well, he became dissatisfied after only holding hands twice. A few days ago, Ren Shuhan caught him in what appeared to be an affair.

 

Seven years of dating, and they only held hands a few times. Some authors really ignore logic and tell blatant lies… Don’t they!

 

The third party is also an old acquaintance of Ren Shuhan, a model named Chu Lu. Although Chu Lu (according to the original description) is far less attractive than Shi Xi, it is rumored that he has a powerful background. He previously harassed the ex-boyfriend several times, claiming to provide assistance to his career.

 

So Shi Xi, in a fit of anger, decides to seduce the ex-boyfriend’s powerful uncle to make him regret his actions.

 

And that’s how tonight’s scene came about. Shi Xi mistakenly enters Ren Shuhan’s hotel room and decides to take advantage of the situation to confront him.

 

From then on, Ren Shuhan goes crazy for Shi Xi, crashing into walls for him. Meanwhile, Shi Xi keeps stringing Ren Shuhan along while his ex-boyfriend willingly enters the crematorium and desperately explains and pleads with Shi Xi:

 

Nothing happened between me and Chu Lu, it’s all a misunderstanding! There’s no way Chu Lu compares to you, the difference is too big! My heart has only ever belonged to you these past years, I swear! It was my fault for being ambiguous with him. Look at me…

 

The crematorium scene is even more devastating than Ren Shuhan’s, and even if it’s proven that nothing happened between him and Chu Lu, it doesn’t shake Shi Xi’s cold heart. He even adds insult to injury:

 

“Actually, when I agreed to pursue you, I didn’t like you. I just said we could give it a try. In the seven years we were together, I never felt anything for you. So let’s part ways amicably.”

 

What a miserable scumbag.

 

Ren Shuhan: So my wife2The ex-boyfriend who cheated on Shi Xi with Chu Lu is Jiang Qingyue hesitated between two men…

 

Didn’t even think about me!

 

With the double crematorium and double cheating, just as Ren Shuhan is contemplating how to resolve this mess, Shi Xi emerges from the bathroom.

 

“I’m done washing.”

 

He’s wrapped in a bathrobe and has a fearless expression as he begins to untie his belt.

 

Shi Xi: Come on, I’m ready.

 

“Wait!” Ren Shuhan quickly covers his eyes. “Don’t come near me! You need to leave first!”

 

Shi Xi: “?”

 

The old man was just lusting after me earlier, but here he is now pretending to be chaste and pure.

 

“I just remembered, you’re Qingyue’s friend?” Ren Shuhan points to the door. “You should leave first.”

 

Shi Xi: Huh?

 

Wait, wouldn’t he find out later? Why am I being thrown off the horse as soon as I arrive?

 

Shi Xi quickly reassures himself to stay calm but instinctively follows Ren Shuhan’s words and walks towards the door.

 

As a transmigrator, he doesn’t have his own memories or special abilities. He only knows the original plot. He’s a bit flustered and takes things as they come. After all, Ren Shuhan doesn’t look bad, and it wouldn’t be a loss to spend a night with him in bed. Besides, he’s currently disabled, so he can’t do anything to Shi Xi.

 

But with this sudden turn of events, Shi Xi doesn’t know how to respond.

 

“I do know Jiang Qingyue,” he says as he reaches the door, picking up his clothes. Then he suddenly remembers that in the later plot, the old man doesn’t care if he’s Jiang Qingyue’s ex. So he turns back and adds, “But so what?”

 

Ren Shuhan: “If you have a conflict with him, I’ll call him to settle it with you. Your business has nothing to do with me. Just change your clothes and leave. Don’t make me repeat myself for the fourth time.”

 

Shi Xi: “…”

 

Why does it sound like I’m taking advantage of you?

 

Ren Shuhan casually adds, “By the way, I misunderstood you earlier. I’m sorry for that. Who told you to barge into my room?” His self-constructed image crumbles to pieces as he speaks. He then takes out his phone and calls Jiang Qingyue. “Hey, Qingyue?”

 

“Hello.”

 

Jiang Qingyue’s familiar and gentle voice doesn’t seem to belong to a scumbag at all. It still sounds soothing to Ren Shuhan’s fragile heart. But then he hears him say——

 

“Uncle Han.”

 

Ren Shuhan: Damn.

 

I feel old.

 

But it feels sweet. What’s going on?

 

“Where are you now?” Ren Shuhan reports his location as indicated by the system. “Come over immediately.”

 

Half an hour later, Jiang Qingyue enters the room, and they lock eyes, unsure of what to do.

 

The excuse Ren Shuhan used to bring him here was to let him explain things to Shi Xi.

 

But as Shi Xi had heard the phone call, he had realized that something was off. If Jiang Qingyue came here, wouldn’t he find out that I’ve been trying to seduce his uncle? It’s embarrassing if I haven’t succeeded yet.

 

So being the coward that he is, Shi Xi had quickly said, “No need, we can break up amicably with no conflicts,” and made his escape. Now only Ren Shuhan remains.

 

Ah, so vulnerable. Ren Shuhan looks at his beautiful wife, dressed casually in a suit and windbreaker. His hair was tied in a small bun tied at the back of his head.

 

“Come closer,” Ren Shuhan says.

 

Jiang Qingyue stands by the door, feeling nervous, thinking he did something wrong.

 

Although this uncle of his is only five years older and they have no blood relation, only being family friends, he has always been strict with his juniors and ruthless in his methods. He brought him up since childhood but rarely spoke to him after he grew up, so he’s very afraid.

 

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Qingyue takes a step forward, hands clasped together.

 

Ren Shuhan: “Come closer.”

 

Jiang Qingyue takes another step but doesn’t reach the edge of the bed: “Do you need something?”

 

Ren Shuhan completely forgets his previous complaints and lowers his voice, asking, “Are you scared of me?”

 

Jiang Qingyue can only shake his head and walks to the side of the bed.

 

Ren Shuhan pats the empty space on the double bed. “Sit here.”

 

Jiang Qingyue is hesitant and goes to the wheelchair next to him because standing would make him taller than Ren Shuhan, so he ends up half-kneeling.

 

Ren Shuhan: Excited.jpg.

 

“Do you feel a bit clearer now?” Ren Shuhan touches Jiang Qingyue’s head and has the system load his memories.

 

As soon as Jiang Qingyue came within one meter of Ren Shuhan, the protagonist’s halo was blocked, and his memories began to blur. Now the system instantly restores these memories, and for a moment, Jiang Qingyue’s eyes are confused, but then he becomes clear-headed and squats by the edge of the bed, covering his face with both hands.

 

“What’s wrong?” Ren Shuhan lovingly strokes his head, wondering why he’s so shy when it’s all just a misunderstanding. He’s not a scumbag.

 

“I-I’m sorry,” Jiang Qingyue moves his hands down, only revealing his eyes, and asks softly, “Did you call me because of my ex-boyfriend?”

 

Ren Shuhan continues to stroke the back of his head like he’s petting a cat. “Do you realize your mistake?”

 

“…I’m sorry,” Jiang Qingyue stammers. “There was a model who has been pursuing me. I’ve been careful to maintain our relationship, but that day I accidentally drank a beverage with alcohol. I didn’t know it contained alcohol, and my reaction was slow. He almost forced a kiss on me, but I pushed him away. Then Shi Xi saw it and accused me of cheating…”

 

“Okay,” Ren Shuhan actually doesn’t want to hear all of this. “And then?”

 

Jiang Qingyue blinks at him, not knowing what he wants to ask.

 

“Do you still want to salvage your relationship with him?” Ren Shuhan asks.

 

“No, I feel like he doesn’t really like me,” Jiang Qingyue says, wanting to stand up. “Although he broke up with me unilaterally, I should still go and explain it to him.”

 

Ren Shuhan had first shown a satisfied smile but freezes with a stiff smile on his face as Jiang Qingyue takes a step forward, exceeding the one-meter distance between them.

 

Jiang Qingyue: “But I still can’t bear to leave him…”

 

“You come back,” Ren Shuhan says coldly. “You’ll sleep next to me tonight.”

 

This isn’t me trying to be indecent on our first meeting. It’s the halo forcing me. I’m saving you.

 

 

 

 

Ahaha, so now Ren Shuhan has a “reason” to keep Jiang Qingyue close to him! But to be honest that sounds kind of hard compared to the two previous worlds
