Chapter 126 Day 17 of Transmigrating into a Vintage CEO Novel

Chapter 126: The Seventeenth Day of Being Thrown into an Old-School CEO Novel

The comments section was already losing it:

"Aaaaaah a confession! Another confession!"

"Uncle went for it! He just went all out!"

"He's not gay, he's An Yi-sexual! I'm sobbing!"

"'Only loses control for you'~~"

"An Yi, just say yes! Let him take a bite or two!"

"He doesn't even want An Yi to like him, he just wants to be An Yi's dog—nice!"

"Wait, aren't you guys forgetting something? Gu Mingzhi is technically An Yi's uncle!!!"

"...Uh, well then?"

"So what? They're not blood related!"

"But they're in the same household registration! (Yelling)"

"Doesn't that make it even spicier? Skip the courthouse!"

"Person above, you..."

"Kinda makes sense, right?"

"..."

An Yi fell silent.

Turns out, they weren't even in the same household registry. The original host's status was awkward—he was never added to the Gu family's household registration and had always been on his own page.

The original novel never mentioned this.

...Wait, why the hell was he thinking about that now?

An Yi quickly reeled in his wandering thoughts and refocused his gaze on the man before him.

Gu Mingzhi... he appreciated this honesty, and he appreciated this courage.

But appreciation was not the same as acceptance.

He spoke slowly, his voice still calm and gentle, but with an undeniable clarity and firmness. "Gu Mingzhi."

He called him by his full name, solemn.

"Thank you for your honesty," he said, his eyes devoid of the earlier teasing and playfulness. "And I'll give you a serious answer too."

"I heard what you feel. But I'm saying no."

No hesitation, no beating around the bush.

Gu Mingzhi's eyes narrowed sharply. Even though he'd expected it, hearing such a blunt rejection with his own ears still felt like a cold hand squeezing his heart, a sharp, stabbing pain.

His jaw tightened, his Adam's apple moved, but he stubbornly didn't look away. He kept his eyes locked on An Yi.

"Why?" He forced the words out, his voice hoarse and rough.

"Because I'm not into you." An Yi's answer was simple and cruel. "I have no feelings for you beyond just 'someone I know.' Your feelings are touching, but that's your thing. I can't reciprocate, and I'm not going to force myself."

He paused, seeing Gu Mingzhi's face go pale. He softened his tone a little, but stayed firm. "Besides, Gu Mingzhi, we can't change what we are."

"What kind of relationship could we have?" Gu Mingzhi pressed on stubbornly, his voice raspy. "Even... even just a relationship where you let me close, isn't that possible? Like... like a dog staying by its owner's side, isn't that okay?"

"No need."

An Yi shook his head, his expression gentle. "Getting close without any hope will only bring more pain and drama. It's a pointless waste for both of us."

He looked up, his gaze clear as an icy spring. "So, let it end here. I've received your feelings—and I've rejected them. So take them back, or save them for someone who really deserves them."

Gu Mingzhi stood frozen, not saying a word.

Just then, the waiter knocked and came in with the dishes one after another.

Exquisite dishes were set on the table, fragrant and steaming. The staff were quick and efficient, eyes down, holding their breath, setting the dishes and swiftly leaving.

The atmosphere between these two diners was terrifying.

Comments section:

"Ah... rejected."

"Called it. (Lights a cigarette)"

"Still, An Yi is so decisive, so ruthless, I love it! (Crawling in the shadows)"

"But I don't think Gu Mingzhi will give up!"

"@Author! Right? Tell me! (Sobbing) (Sobbing)"

"It won't be a bad ending, right? An Yi seems so determined!"

"It's fine! Gu Dog won't give up! He's a Mad Dog!"

"Right! A mad dog never lets go once it bites! A rejection means nothing! Next time he'll just force... (gets covered)"

"Person above, what are you saying? That's interesting!"

"..."

An Yi: ...

Gu Mingzhi had been sitting still in his chair, not moving. Then suddenly he looked up at An Yi and stood up abruptly.

An Yi: ??? What are you doing?

Gu Mingzhi walked around to face him in a few steps. Under An Yi's slightly widened eyes, he knelt down on one knee without hesitation.

He looked up at An Yi, his Adam's apple moving. Then, very clearly, he let out a: "Woof."

Seeing An Yi's blank face and total lack of reaction, he seemed to throw caution to the wind and uttered another low, soft: "Woof."

An Yi: ...

Tentatively, like a real big dog, he leaned forward carefully and slowly pressed his forehead against An Yi's cool palm.

"Please... just try it..."

"You can... toy with me, no need to give me any promises... do whatever you want, please!"

An Yi: ...What the hell is this about?

An Yi's eyes slowly narrowed. He looked down at the man kneeling at his feet, his expression turning inscrutable and unfathomable.

Gu Mingzhi gave him a smile, then lowered his head, quickly licking An Yi's palm.

An Yi's hand trembled.

As if encouraged, Gu Mingzhi slowly raised a hand and loosened his tie, then unbuttoned the top three buttons of his shirt, revealing his sharp collarbones and a patch of firm chest.

He rubbed his cheek against An Yi's wrist longingly, the warm chest muscles beneath his open collar subtly brushing against An Yi's knee. His voice was low, carrying a seductive, pleading tone: "Please... please, okay? Just try it..."

An Yi: ...

He thought he might be hallucinating. He closed his eyes for a few seconds to calm down, then opened them to look again.

It was real.

Gu Mingzhi was still kneeling there, in a posture that was almost devout yet wildly desperate, begging for his mercy.

Would it make him look like a total pushover if he changed his mind now?

Comments:

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"What's this? What kind of roleplay?"

"Booth play? Is it booth play?!"

"Are they gonna do it right here?"

"Hate-fuck! A fierce hate-fuck! What a hate-fuck! Once they start, it's ruthless, forgetful, and desperate! Like a sudden rain, the rapid drumbeats; like a whirlwind, the flying tassels; like leaping frogs, the bouncing steps; like sparks, the flashing eyes; like fighting tigers, the powerful stance. On the bed, bursts a passionate, unrestrained, fiery hate-fuck!"

"Whose side is this guy on? So good?"

"Inspiration struck! Click the link on my page to see me write ten thousand words of hehehe~"

"Red is destruction, orange is anger, purple is mystery, blue is indifference, white is nothingness, black is gloom, green is your husband, yellow is love to see!"

"Pant pant! Pants off!"

"(Hot)(hot)(hot)(tongue)(tongue)(tongue)(lips)(rose)"

"..."

An Yi: ...

An Yi silently watched the man kneeling before him, feeling the lingering wet sensation on his palm and the warm touch on his knee.

After a long moment, he let out a soft, almost silent *tch*.

Now that's interesting.
