Seize the Throne

Chapter 26

“Kou Li gave Bian Yi that candy, and it was sweet when eaten to the end. The sweet fruit fragrance lasted for a long time, and even diluted the bloody taste in Bian Yi’s mouth. The person who made it was really creative.

The lemon yellow packaging paper, lemon yellow candy, tasted sour like a lemon, but as the candy melted in the mouth, the center was sweet. The sweetness was not much different from ordinary candy, but after the taste buds had been invaded by sourness for a long time, when the not-so-special sweetness was tasted, it would be incredibly stunning.

However, how many people could keep it in their mouth after tasting the candy that was sour enough to soften their teeth?

They would spit it out as quickly as possible.

If Bian Yi hadn’t been on the plane, he might not have finished that candy, and he wouldn’t have experienced such a special sour and sweet taste.

“A little sweet,” the man holding Bian Yi’s waist stepped back slightly and whispered his evaluation.

The lingering sweetness of the candy was shared.

“Ha—” Bian Yi wanted to laugh back at him with a sneer, but before he could finish laughing, his voice was interrupted by Kou Li, turning into a muffled groan.

Hearing Bian Yi’s voice, Kou Li stopped again.

He stopped, and his eyes, which had been looking down at Bian Yi, became more focused. He didn’t wear glasses, so it took a little longer to recognize him.

After recognizing the person, he once again supported Bian Yi’s waist.

“F*ck!” Bian Yi couldn’t take it anymore and cursed, “Are you done yet?”

Just do it or don’t, stop messing around!

F*ck!”

“Not yet finished, it should still be early.” Kou Li replied to Bian Yi’s words and then chuckled softly.

Bian Yi couldn’t quite tell if Kou Li was acting strange again, because Kou Li’s deliberate and serious tone of reply seemed more like flirting with him.

As he listened to this person’s laughter, Bian Yi’s expression became strange, or rather, somewhat ashamed.

Their bodies were intertwined, and Kou Li’s laughter would trigger a trembling sensation in Bian Yi.

Of course, the feeling was not uncomfortable, but rather-

Bian Yi had been in a loving marriage with Kou Li for many years, and they hadn’t left anything unexplored. However, this was just a slightly suggestive remark that didn’t quite count as a flirtation, and the slightly ambiguous touch left him a little overwhelmed.

Bian Yi was quite displeased, so he kicked Kou Li away with one foot, then quickly sat up and took control, not giving Kou Li a chance to pause.

Kou Li was slightly stunned for a few seconds, then continued to focus on Bian Yi’s face, supporting him.

This was good, he wouldn’t have to worry about making a mistake.

He seemed easy to talk to, but in fact, Kou Li was easily prone to showing his vicious nature in situations like this, whether in the past or at the moment.

He liked to see Bian Yi’s expression of collapse because of him.

He liked to invade every inch of him.

He liked to see Bian Yi accept him even when he couldn’t bear it.

Of course, if he really couldn’t bear it, Kou Li would soften his heart and restrain himself, slowing down. But even that kind of restraint was still vicious, as Bian Yi often pushed him off in embarrassment and anger.

-Just like now.

Kou Li has many small habits, and Bian Yi has them too.

Even though they haven’t been together for more than ten years, their bodies seem to remember more than they do.

For example, Kou Li’s fingers constantly caressed the hollow of Bian Yi’s lower back, and Bian Yi’s heel pressed hard against Kou Li’s knee.

Perhaps they haven’t noticed, or perhaps they both know – some things have never changed.

However, the harmonious appearance did not last long.

Bian Yi could see the tenderness on Kou Li’s face just by looking down, which made him very angry.

Because he was once addicted to Kou Li’s “gentlemanly beast”. Using such a gentle expression, but with the strength of a wild beast, he was controlled and hunted by him, and he could fully experience the man’s strong emotions for him.

But that was the past.

They shouldn’t be like this now, and Kou Li shouldn’t be like this.

Putting on a gentle disguise, does he pretend not to know that he hates him just as much?

Why be so cautious?

Both of them have too much to vent, so why restrain themselves with a fake appearance?

Bian Yi’s face had no trace of a smile, and even held a bit of hatred. His movements began to become crazy.

His eyes were also a little crazy as he looked at Kou Li.

Gradually, driven by him, the tenderness on Kou Li’s face finally shattered.

He sat up, grabbed Bian Yi’s hands with one hand, and roughly held Bian Yi’s waist with the other, his eyes turning red.

They bit, wrestled, and kept pulling and tearing.

Like real animals, they lost their minds and were entangled until death.

There are also other places where the water is deep and the fire is hot (1).

Guan Xi was thrown on the bed like a rag that had been used and thrown away, or the kind that had been torn apart.

He was in pain and trembling, but no one in the room saw him, or rather, they saw him but didn’t care.

Yes, they, not just one person.

This time Xu Rui brought someone, and Guan Xi was not unfamiliar with this person, Zhuo Feng, an extravagant and philandering rich second-generation.

He was the first man that Guan Xi failed to conquer in his second playthrough.

In the first playthrough, Guan Xi failed to conquer Zhuo Feng because he met him too early.

At that time, Guan Xi had not yet followed Kou Li to the amusement park with Kou Sen.

And Guan Xi’s courage was not that great yet, he only dared to tease those men, but did not dare to really cheat, mainly because Kou Li looked too scary, making him feel that he would be strangled by him if he got intimate with other men.

But after the amusement park incident, Kou Li’s control over him weakened, and Guan Xi’s desire for revenge also arose.

You love Bian Yi the most, right? Then I’ll sleep with other men using Bian Yi’s body. When you see my face, will you still be able to love Bian Yi?

Guan Xi knew that his thoughts at that time were extremely shameless, so he gave himself a reason that he had to follow:

“If I can’t conquer Kou Li, I won’t have the cheat code to succeed, then how can I survive in this world? So, I have no choice but to do so, I am forced to.”

Guan Xi put himself in the victim’s position and made an appointment with Zhou Feng. Before they even started, he already looked like he was being bullied. This appearance may have been attractive to many men.

But Zhuo Feng saw through it at a glance.

In fact, he was attracted to Guan Xi because he was a married man, and he was playing for excitement.

Previously, Guan Xi had been playing hard to get, like a chaste and virtuous woman who wouldn’t let him sleep with her, and he had endured it.

Who knew by making such an appointment with him, Guan Xi’s fake act had already been seen through.

He mocked Guan Xi: “Darling, your acting skills are too poor. Evil is evil. You put me in the position of a sinner with your pitiful appearance, and I’m really sad.”

Zhuo Feng exposed Guan Xi’s true nature, which made Guan Xi both fearful and angry, so he immediately cut off all contact with Zhuo Feng and stopped communicating with him.

A promiscuous playboy with money and looks. It was already known that he was unfaithful, but yet he still had people lining up to be with him. Why is that?

Because people are vain.

What others can’t get, I can get, and I am more charming than them.

Guan Xi was even more like this.

Even after failing, he still couldn’t forget Zhuo Feng, so the first target of his second round of conquest was Zhuo Feng – even though he had no memory of their previous encounter.

After succeeding in the conquest, Guan Xi’s vanity was satisfied, especially when he saw Zhuo Feng’s 90% favorability rating, and he became even more conceited.

He started to keep a distance from Zhuo Feng and began to look for the next target.

Guan Xi trembled as he pulled the blanket off his body, his tears blurring his vision.

He heard Zhuo Feng telling Xu Rui that his taste was good and that he would invite his friends to taste it.

Retribution.

This word, these two syllables, had been repeating in Guan Xi’s mind recently.

When Guan Xi first arrived in this world, he was most satisfied and fond of this perfect body.

He used his handsome appearance to gain self-satisfaction from those men, played with their emotions, squeezed points from them, and then threw them away when he was tired of them.

Now, because he has the same face as Bian Yi, he is imprisoned by the men he once played with, becoming their plaything and tool for release.

It’s all retribution.

Guan Xi lay on a dirty and filthy bed, laughing bitterly.

Laughing at his own greed despite not having the ability, laughing at his own hypocrisy and foolishness, laughing at himself for being the vicious supporting character in the story of Bian Yi and Kou Li, but thinking he was the protagonist.

Yes, he was so vicious, but pretended to be kind.

How disgusting.

No wonder Kou Li and Jian Yi, those two clever perverts, deliberately let him go.

They must have known that he would encounter real hell after he escaped.

Guan Xi has figured it out these days.

He deserves it.

It’s estimated that people like him can only reflect on themselves in hell.

Looking back at Bian Yi’s punishment and revenge on him now, it feels like heaven.

Being imprisoned for sixteen years is still better than now.

Guan Xi really admires Bian Yi. He is really strong. He can survive and still have sanity in those sixteen years.

Unlike him, who has almost gone insane in just half a month.

You see, that’s why Kou Li loves him. He can’t compare with Bian Yi at all.

No one in the room paid attention to Guan Xi.

Guan Xi no longer had any expectations in his heart. He pulled the blanket over himself, and at this moment, he heard the laughter of a man.

He didn’t know if it was Xu Rui or Zhuo Feng, or both of them laughing, as if mocking him for still knowing how to cover himself and feel ashamed.

Guan Xi also smiled, he was also laughing at them.

What does it matter if the favourability reaches 100? This favourability is just based on their own desires.

Speaking of love, but unable to distinguish the real and the fake one. And even if he has figured it out now, he (Xu Rui) is still doing such disgusting things behind his back (Bian Yi’s).

This disgusting feeling is not worthy of being called love.

Kou Li loves Bian Yi.

That man.

Let Guan Xi envy and be jealous of Kou Li’s true feelings.

Now that he understands, he can comprehend many things when he thinks back to the past.

For example, after the amusement park, Kou Li still couldn’t confirm whether his body really belonged to Bian Yi. But he indulged him and let him find other men.

There was even a time when Kou Li saw him intimate with someone else.

At that time, Kou Li’s eyes were very complicated.

At that time, Guan Xi was only concerned about fear and did not investigate further.

Now he understands.

The deepest feeling in Kou Li’s eyes is undoubtedly hatred, followed by disgust and indifference, and finally pleading.

Guan Xi believed that Kou Li was begging Bian Yi to come back.

After punishing him enough, he wanted Bian Yi to come back.

Kou Li seemed to think that part of the reason for Bian Yi’s departure was because of himself.

Guan Xi didn’t know what conflict existed between the two. But Kou Li gave him that impression.

He indulged Guan Xi to be with other men, and he knew and even saw it. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to a lover, but Kou Li endured it. He hoped that after accepting this punishment, the departed Bian Yi could forgive him and come back to him.

Unfortunately, reality is not like that.

In the previous life, Jian Yi also appeared, but he didn’t behave as twisted as in this life. He met Guan Xi and interpreted some information from him.

Later on, Kou Li never appeared in front of Guan Xi again.

Guan Xi also didn’t know what Kou Li was doing, until he was caught by Kou Li and taken to the island, he never saw him again.

As for why Kou Li died, Guan Xi didn’t know either.

He was very tired and sleepy, thinking too hard about a question without an answer was too exhausting.

He was still afraid of death, and after waking up, he would have to face a new hell. So he went to sleep. Only in his dreams could he still see the light.

……

Night has fallen.

Near the snow-capped mountain, the starry sky is extremely beautiful after nightfall.

Bian Yi licked his lips and lay on the bed, looking at the stars outside the window without the energy to move.

A cup of water was handed to him by Kou Li, blocking Bian Yi’s view of the stars.

Bian Yi began to frown again in dissatisfaction, but he was too weak. He didn’t have the energy to talk or push Kou Li’s hand away.

So he had to accept Kou Li’s half-helping him up and feeding him water. After drinking the water and lying back down, Bian Yi’s frown deepened.

It really fucking hurts.

His whole body was in pain.

But the pain was so real that it made people feel at ease.

Compared to Bian Yi, Kou Li was not much better off.

When Bian Yi kicked or bit him, he didn’t use much strength.

But those injuries and pains only made Kou Li feel pleasure.

There was no moment like just now that made Kou Li feel Bian Yi’s true existence.

His mood was good and relaxed.

The two of them slept quietly on the same bed, without looking at each other or communicating.

One looked at the chandelier, and the other looked at the stars outside the window.

They were both very bright.
