Chapter 79: Deadly! The Unhinged Male Lead Only Wants Forced Love [35]

Because of Bai Yan's words, Lin Zhibai didn't push things further. He just watched him finish his meal, then cleaned up.

After that, he pulled out two identical sets of pajamas and handed one to Bai Yan.

Lin Zhibai didn't go any further, but still held him and slept with him.

Bai Yan let Lin Zhibai hold him, able to feel the intense unease radiating off him. He lowered his eyes, his back to Lin Zhibai, and couldn't help but frown.

He was used to falling asleep in Gu Yu's arms, and now having someone else next to him really threw him off. He felt a little irritated.

Bai Yan didn't dwell on this strange feeling. He only thought it was because Lin Zhibai didn't have the main character's luck.

But he did miss Gu Yu, though.

Honestly, sleeping in Gu Yu's arms was way more comfortable...

It seemed he needed to wrap things up here quickly.

"Ah Yan, don't be afraid of me... I promise, I won't do anything to you until you agree."

Lin Zhibai rested his head against Bai Yan's nape, his hand on his waist, whispering softly.

He was so jealous of Gu Yu, wanting to do everything Gu Yu had done to Bai Yan.

Only then would he truly have Bai Yan completely.

But he couldn't stand the thought of Bai Yan hating him.

They could have been happy together; they were meant to be together...

Lin Zhibai gently kissed Bai Yan's shoulder and neck, holding Bai Yan even tighter.

"Ah Yan, don't worry... I'll take care of this. You don't owe him anything, and you don't need to sacrifice yourself because of this accident from over twenty years ago."

In Lin Zhibai's eyes, Bai Yan didn't actually like Gu Yu. He was only with him out of this so-called "guilt."

After all, he was the one who had always been there for Bai Yan.

If it weren't for the guilt toward Gu Yu, how could Bai Yan have fallen for someone who had just been found and was his complete opposite in status?

But it didn't matter. Once he got rid of Gu Yu, everything would be fine.

Then, he would go back to how things used to be with Bai Yan, and no one would disturb them anymore.

"Ah Yan, go to sleep... I won't make you wait long."

Lin Zhibai's voice was low, with a dangerous edge to it.

Bai Yan just hummed in acknowledgment and said no more. He didn't need to guess what Lin Zhibai was thinking.

But so what? Gu Yu was the male lead, someone even he—the villain—might not be able to kill. Let alone Lin Zhibai, a mere supporting character.

He wasn't worried about Gu Yu at all. If anything, he was more focused on finding a way out of here first.

Once he confirmed Lin Zhibai was asleep, Bai Yan opened his eyes and reached out to 717.

[717, how is it? Did you dig up everything on this place?]

[Done, done, Big Shot. We're on a deserted island now. Besides you and Lin Zhibai, there are a few servants in the villa who are pretty capable.]

717 quickly reported what he had found when he saw Bai Yan taking the initiative to contact him.

[There are also some mercenaries outside, all armed. There's no signal on the island. I can help you unlock the doors, but right now, you won't be able to leave smoothly on your own.]

In the dark, a strange glint flickered in Bai Yan's eyes. He suddenly asked,

[What's going on out there? Is Gu Yu alright?]

Bai Yan paused after asking this, then brushed it off.

Gu Yu was his mission target and the male lead he wanted to leech luck from. Either way, it was only natural for him to show some concern.

Fortunately, 717 didn't think anything of it. He simply said,

[I've checked on the male lead's situation too. Lin Zhibai found out his real identity and went after his businesses, trying to delay him from coming to find you.]

[But don't worry, with the main cast around, Lin Zhibai's tricks won't amount to much.]

717 reassured him, [And I've already found a way to send Gu Yu a message. He'll be back soon. Don't rush—just keep Lin Zhibai calm for now.]

Bai Yan listened silently.

717 thought he was still worried and was about to say more to comfort him when Bai Yan spoke again:

[717, I feel like... you seem different. You... are you really a Novice System?]

With a hint of testing, Bai Yan finally asked the question that had been nagging at him.

Even though it was just a fleeting thought.

Even though he knew that little guy couldn't possibly have survived falling into the Supreme God's hands.

Still, he couldn't shake the thought...

717 froze, clearly caught off guard by Bai Yan's sudden question.

He blinked, then smiled and said,

[Big Shot, why are you suddenly asking that? Of course I'm a novice system!]

[I was just assigned to a department, but there were no Taskers in the Supreme God's space that I liked, so I thought I'd go out and find one myself.]

But unexpectedly, before he could find a Tasker that suited his liking, Bai Yan had caught him and directly bound him.

However, aside from the initial forced binding that made him a bit unhappy, he had no complaints now.

Bai Yan fell silent again. He remembered that the little guy had said the same thing to him back then.

He, too, had been searching for a suitable Tasker, which was how he met him.

They made a deal.

He would become his Tasker, playing the role of the villain in these small worlds.

Once he accumulated enough points, he could exchange them for a wish.

He wanted to save someone, so he agreed to the deal.

It was only after he completed his mission, thinking he could finally return to his original world and save that person, that the Supreme God refused to honor the deal.

Not only did he refuse to let him go back, but he also tried to kill him.

"B-Big Shot... are you okay?"

717 spoke cautiously, its voice trembling slightly as it tested the waters.

The feeling Bai Yan had just given it was far too dangerous—even more so than the corrupted Lin Zhibai and Gu Yu.

717 swallowed hard and silently hugged itself, curling up into a ball.

"I'm fine. How much longer until Gu Yu gets here?"

Bai Yan closed his eyes briefly, masking all his emotions, and returned to his usual calm demeanor.

If what 717 had just said was true, then escaping on his own right now would indeed be difficult.

Lin Zhibai was currently placated, but getting him to help Bai Yan leave was unlikely.

Bai Yan lowered his gaze, his finger tracing the chain around his wrist.

Even while sleeping, on a deserted island, surrounded by guards outside, Lin Zhibai refused to unlock the chain—let alone take him away.

Having played the villain so many times, he hated placing his safety in others' hands.

It was often at moments like this that he was pushed into the abyss by the very people he'd trusted with his safety.

Even knowing the plot and being prepared, after so many times, he still felt a deep reluctance.

But now, he had only one choice left...

"Soon. He likes you that much—he won't make you wait long."

Bai Yan's hand clenched slightly into a fist, his eyes hiding an unreadable emotion.

Won't he...
