The Devoted Second Male Lead Decided to Favor Someone Else

Actual Fairytale – Picking up a Mermaid! (25)

“Brother, Mr. Lu, I have something to do, so I’ll leave first.” Jun Li stood up to leave.

After differentiating, Jun Li had become a lot more steady and stopped showing his heart on his sleeve, but Lu Shijin could still tell that he was going to go look for Shen Shao.

Lu Shijin wasn’t in a hurry to tell Jun Li that Shen Shao was already regretting, because this kind of thing was better left for Shen Shao to say himself.

The other reason was more selfish. The more problems that existed between the leads, the happier the audience would be.

Lu Shijin also wanted Jun Li to leave. That way, it would be faster for Jun Yu to take the egg out, so he responded even faster than Jun Yu.

“Sure, you should go. Shen Shao’s been staying home lately, you’ll find him at home.”

Once Jun Li left, Lu Shijin immediately went to Jun Yu’s side, smiling, “Let’s begin?”

“What’s the rush?” Jun Yu looked with interest at Lu Shijin, who had already begun stripping, but he still didn’t move.

What a joke, of course he was rushing, there was a literal time bomb in him right now!

“Come, come, come, hurry up!” Lu Shijin took off his shirt and showed his smooth and flat abdomen, “Should I be lying down or sitting? I don’t think it would be difficult for you either way, should I be standing?”

Jun Yu’s gaze was complicated: . . .

Lu Shijin saw that Jun Yu wasn’t moving and coaxed, “Hey, don’t remain sitting, you should come help me!”

Just as he finished speaking, Lu Shijin felt something off and looked down, black lines appearing in his forehead.

“. . . I didn’t mean this kind of movement.”

Jun Yu’s expression didn’t change and swept his gaze across Lu Shijin’s body, his eyes darkening.

“You’ve already stripped so much for me, isn’t it natural for me to react? As a sign of respect of course.” Jun Yu calmly responded.

What a perverted fish!

Lu Shijin hurriedly picked up his clothes, wanting to put them back on, but Jun Yu was faster and threw them to the side, “Since you’ve already taken them off, why put them back on? I didn’t expect you to be so forward, how surprising.”

“Forward my ass, I took off my clothes because I thought you were gonna take that thing out, don’t misunderstand!” Lu Shijin went around the sofa, trying to get his clothes, but was suddenly pressed against the sofa by Jun Yu.

Jun Yu pressed upon Lu Shijin, their faces very close.

“Don’t be anxious, I never said I wouldn’t.” Jun Yu said with a smile, “But I have a condition.”

“What?” Lu Shijin asked without much hope.

Jun Yu smiled, “You have to go back to the sea with me and be my queen.”

Lu Shijin: ???

Jun Yu lowered his head, one hand caressing Lu Shijin’s stomach as heat pooled in his eyes, “Do you realize what  an honor it is to receive the favor of the merpeople’s king? You human?”

Who am I? Where am I? Why does this fish talk like he’s some overbearing CEO in one of those shitty dogblood webnovels?

“Honor my ass!” Lu Shijin was furious and escaped Jun Yu’s grasp when he was unprepared. He grabbed a glass cup from the side, directly smashing it onto Jun Yu’s head.

Jun Yu just felt an intense pain on his head and before he had time to react, he fainted.

“What merpeople’s king, his combat power is nothing!” Lu Shijin moved the unconscious body away and stepped on him a couple times just out of spite.

“Heh, not anxious what now? See, this is what happens when you piss me off.”

A staticky strange voice suddenly sounded in Lu Shijin’s head, immediately making him alert, “Who? Who’s talking? Convenience store, was it you?”

711 came online, “No, I didn’t say anything, but I did hear that sound!”

“Who could talk in my mind other than you?”

“Huh?” That voice sounded out again, “You guys can hear me?”

Lu Shijin and 711 reacted simultaneously, “Yeah! Who are you?”

That voice took a long time to respond, as though it was trying to grasp a shocking fact.

“I’m the system ‘211,’ who are you guys?” It asked weakly.

711 said, “211? Second brother, it’s you?”

“And you are?”

“I’m your older brother! 711!”

211 also became excited, its voice becoming louder, “Seventh brother, it’s you!”

“. . . Wait, you two know each other?”

“Yup. 211 was made by the same creator, so he’s technically my younger brother.”

“211’s older brother wouldn’t happen to be 985*, right?”

(*A reference to certain universities in China.)

“What are you saying, host?” 711 was very happy, “Turns out that the merpeople’s king’s system was you! Why didn’t you show yourself earlier? It would’ve saved so much trouble!”

“I didn’t think of this either! I’m so happy to have come across you, seventh brother!”

“Wait, before you keep with this family reunion, why can I hear Jun Yu’s system’s voice?”

“You don’t know this host, but 211 isn’t very steady and it often has bugs, so you don’t have to be surprised at anything.”

“. . . It can come to work with so many issues?”

“Yup. Right, are you still in your testing phase? How come you’re out here doing a task?”

211 casually summarized, “It’s like this. Some time ago, my host completed his 100th world, so he could ask the main god for a wish. Turns out, he fell in love with a fellow task taker in that world, so his wish was to be with that person. But because that person was also a task taker, and his tasks weren’t over yet, they couldn’t be together. So, he changed his wish to help that person with their remaining tasks. The main god agreed. However, my host already finished everything and remembers everything, so if the two met in a story and recognized each other, it would be bad if it impacts the progression of the plot. That’s why the main god told me to come. Every time they enter a new world, I have to erase my host’s memories. He only remembers that he has to complete his task. That way, it satisfies his wish to be with the one he loves while not impacting the plot, two birds with one stone!”

Lu Shijin felt his heart beat faster and faster. There were two task takers in this world, him and Jun Yu.

According to 211’s words, Jun Yu came here to accompany the one he loves, which means the one he loves is Lu Shijin?

Lu Shijin looked at the unconscious Jun Yu in shock.

So . . . maybe . . . could it be . . . he’s actually?!
