    Chapter 60: I'm the Host's Loyal System

    After Yi Siyu drove off, Huo Kai grabbed another car from home and followed the route Yi Siyu had sent him.

    Only halfway there, he spotted his own car parked by the roadside among the trees.

    Assuming Yi Siyu's car had broken down, he got out to check—only to see two figures stepping out of the vehicle one after another.

    "Hey?! You got him! Jian Ye, are you okay?!" Huo Kai blurted out. Seeing the person he'd been worried about all night, he jumped in excitement.

    Jian Ye pressed his lips together and said, "Boss Huo, I'm fine. Sorry to have troubled you..."

    "Bah! As long as you're safe, don't worry about it. Honestly, it's my fault as your 'big bro' for not taking better care of you. I failed what Old Yi entrusted me with. Let me treat you both to a meal later to make up for it."

    Yi Siyu's expression darkened at the self-proclaimed title. His sharp gaze shot over. "Who's your 'big bro'?"

    "Jian Ye's younger than me, so of course I'm his big bro. You're younger than me too, so I'm yours as well." Now in high spirits, Huo Kai even teased Yi Siyu.

    Thank God his buddy's partner was safe and sound. It made all his prayers to the gods last night worth it.

    The group returned to the hotel Huo Kai had arranged. At the entrance, Jian Ye spotted Yi Sizhe.

    "Big Brother, you came to S City too?" Jian Ye felt a twinge of worry—his bold move seemed to have alarmed quite a few people.

    Yi Sizhe looked at Jian Ye, unharmed, and nodded in relief. "Mm. Since you're safe now, how about heading back to Yunjing together tomorrow? You must be exhausted today—rest here first."

    Jian Ye hesitated, unsure whether to agree, and glanced at Yi Siyu beside him.

    Feeling the young man's questioning gaze, Yi Siyu felt a pleasant sense of being relied on. He said, "Big Brother, you go ahead. I'll stay with Yèyè for the rest of the time. I won't let anything happen to him again."

    Now that the two had established their relationship, they naturally needed time to be intimate.

    Thinking of the way Jian Ye had looked at him in the car earlier, Yi Siyu had almost lost control. If they hadn't been interrupted, he might've done something reckless in the moment's passion.

    He cherished his young man and wanted his first experience to be perfectly comfortable and wonderful. Now calmer, Yi Siyu was grateful Huo Kai had shown up when he did.

    The young man was curious about the taste of love, and Yi Siyu wanted to guide him slowly, savoring every moment rather than rushing headlong.

    Jian Ye's words today had caught him off guard, too.

    These past two days had been a mix of fear and joy, pain and happiness intertwined.

    ...

    After saying goodbye to Huo Kai and Yi Sizhe, the man swiped the keycard to open the hotel room door, with Jian Ye following behind like an obedient puppy.

    When the door opened, the room's decor left Jian Ye wide-eyed.

    It was a romantic couple's suite—complete with a round bed scattered with rose petals.

    The heart-shaped tablecloth was hard to miss, adorned with two bottles of wine and flickering candlelight. Under the warm glow, the entire room had an unmistakable atmosphere of romance and seduction.

    Jian Ye shrunk his shoulders slightly and looked up at the man. "Do you... want to take a shower?"

    He felt Yi Siyu's gaze was like fire in dry grass, ready to ignite at any moment. His own head felt lightheaded with anticipation too. What should've been a simple question somehow carried an unintentional hint of invitation.

    After his timid words, the man's large hand mussed his hair.

    Yi Siyu smirked. "Want to join me?"

    Here’s the refined translation incorporating the expert suggestions:

    Jian Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively shook his head, only to think afterward... well, it wasn’t entirely out of the question, was it?

    After all, they were together now. What was there to be shy about between a married couple?

    Just as he was about to nod again, his chin was caught by the man’s hand, and that handsome face drew closer.

    “Mmm...” Jian Ye was caught off guard by his kiss again.

    Yi Siyu broke the kiss briefly, his thumb tracing the boy’s flushed lips. “I won’t tease you anymore. We’re not ready today, so let’s just rest well, hm?”

    “Mm...” Jian Ye was still a little dazed. By the time his mind cleared slightly, the man had already disappeared into the bathroom.

    He hadn’t even been thinking about *that* at first! It was just a simple question!

    He’d just wanted Yi Siyu, who’d been on the go all day, to take a shower and relax—how had the man turned it into something else?

    Now he looked like some clueless virgin whose brain short-circuited from lust. Was he really that desperate?

    *He* wasn’t in a hurry, but who was the one gonna burst? No need to spell it out.

    Thinking about the man’s considerable size, Jian Ye felt he really needed to do more research and preparation. Was this the trouble of dating a “big shot”?

    After all… it really *was* big.

    System 748: “Kekeke~”

    Jian Ye: “Can you stop laughing like a chicken?! You eavesdropped on us kissing again, didn’t you?! Damn Er Tong!”

    System 748: “The system detected the host’s heart rate spikes were even stronger than the last time you were kissed. It’s not that I wanted to listen—your emotional readings alone tell me everything—”

    Jian Ye: “Enough, enough! Shut up already!”

    System 748: “Hehe, has the host finally stopped resisting? Made up your mind?”

    Jian Ye thought for a moment, then nodded seriously.

    Jian Ye: “Yeah, I’ve decided. Once I make a choice, I won’t turn back easily. No matter what difficulties come later, I’ll do my best to overcome them.”

    System 748: “The host is amazing! This Er Tong is your #1 hype system!”

    Jian Ye: “I’m going all in now—you better help me out later! If any important plot points come up like before, you *have* to tell me right away!”

    Every step they took now was changing the storyline—and his own fate.

    System 748: “Got it, host! I’m your ride-or-die system!”

    Jian Ye: “Tch, Er Tong, you’re getting cheesier by the day. You’ve got real potential as a ‘pick-me’ system.”

    System 748: “I’ll take that as praise, host!”

    Jian Ye: “...”

    The sound of the bathroom door jolted Jian Ye back to reality. He looked up to see the tall man emerging, wrapped in a white robe.

    The robe hung open, revealing his cut physique. Jian Ye’s mouth went dry, and he unconsciously licked his lips.

    Realizing his own perverted behavior, he cleared his throat awkwardly. “Ahem… my turn to shower.” Watching his puppy all but dive into the bathroom, Yi Siyu let out a quiet laugh.

    Here’s the refined translation incorporating the expert suggestions:

    How could his wife be so adorable—tough yet shy?

    Jian Ye deliberately lingered in the bathroom. His earlier behavior must have amused the man—couldn’t he just act more composed?

    Jian Ye played the innocent, delicate card flawlessly with outsiders, but always made a mess of things in front of his own man.

    By the time he emerged, half an hour had passed.

    He’d expected questions about his delay, but the room was completely silent.

    Jian Ye found the man propped up against the bed, already asleep.

    He must have dozed off waiting, still in his bathrobe, body in an utterly relaxed posture.

    Jian Ye leaned closer to study him—the sharp jawline, those starry eyes now closed beneath handsome brows, faint shadows beneath them.

    His heart ached as he gently traced the dark circles.

    Yi Siyu must have been exhausted after the past day and night, nerves wound tight until finally giving way to deep sleep. Jian Ye carefully supported him, settling his head on the pillow and adjusting his position.

    The usually alert man didn’t even wake despite being manhandled.

    Mission accomplished, the young man quietly climbed in, lifted Yi Siyu’s arm, and nestled into his embrace before guiding the arm around his waist.

    Like a puppy finding its perfect spot, he sighed contentedly and drifted off.

    Today was unforgettable—Jian Ye’s excitement now mellowed into peaceful contentment.

    He’d never claim singlehood was better again—having a husband to cuddle with was way better.

    ...

    He slept dreamlessly.

    Yi Siyu remained deep in slumber, reclaiming rest lost during his prolonged tension.

    As he began to wake, he registered warmth snuggled against him before opening his eyes.

    His hand barely moved before brushing a slender waist, skin smooth beneath his touch.

    Yi Siyu looked down to find the boy in nothing but black underwear, drooling in sleep.

    The audacity of this little...

    Morning already had his blood running hot—this beauty in his arms only stoked the fire higher.

    Now that his prey was caught, Yi Siyu saw no reason to restrain himself. He shifted, pulling the boy flush against him.

    Jian Ye woke to wet, hungry kisses. An instinctive whimper escaped as he tried to turn away, but large hands trapped him. The relentless barrage of kisses left him gasping.

    "Siyu-ge... w-wait..."

    "Can’t wait." The man growled low, gripping Jian Ye’s hand as he breathed the words into his ear, "Baby, help me, okay?"

    …………

    ………… The skies over City S finally cleared today, sunlight streaming bright and warm.

    But the hotel room had its curtains drawn, keeping the light from fully filtering in, leaving only a faint glimpse of two figures pressed close on the round bed.

    The entire morning passed in a lazy, indulgent haze, and by the time they finished washing up, it was already noon.

    The man led the young man into the bathroom, carefully rinsing his slender fingers under the water, soap bubbles covering his hands.

    Jian Ye glanced at his reflection in the mirror—lips reddened, eyes still hazy with pleasure—then stole a look at the other man, who appeared refreshed and full of energy.

    Unable to hold back, he complained, "My hand is so sore. You’re the worst."

    Way too much…

    "Sorry, baby, my fault," the man readily admitted his mistake, but Jian Ye could hear the unspoken *"I’ll do it again"* beneath his words.

    Married men couldn’t be fully trusted—no sooner had he been won over than he started putting him to work.

    This poor little pup still had to obediently serve and satisfy him.

    Sure, he’d gotten his fun too, but—he was still the one left worn out.

    At the dining table, Jian Ye dropped his chopsticks several times before Yi Siyu finally took over and fed him himself.

    Jian Ye burned with quiet embarrassment, but his face betrayed nothing.

    He had vowed to be composed, to be strong, to embody the whole ‘green tea’ act to the very end!

    "Brother Siyu was amazing today. My arms are so weak, I can’t even move them. It’s all my fault for being so weak, unable to keep up with your stamina. What if I’m *too* tired to get up someday…? You won’t get mad, right?"

    Yi Siyu choked on his water, turning his face away as his neck flushed red from coughing.

    In that moment, the young man grinned, smug and victorious.

    Mission accomplished—today’s teasing hit its mark. This was fun.

    **Author's Note**

    Jian Xiaogou: "Brother, tell me—do you *like* your little green tea or not?" (Wagging his tail and sticking out his butt.)

    CEO Yi: "..." (Looking like he needs to be put in his place.)
