As The Minor Gay Love Rival in Het Novels

2.2

After finishing filming that day's guest segment, Fan Yuan diligently acted the part of chauffeur and went to drop Fang Xu off at home. Heaven only knows why this manager is only paid one salary when he has so many jobs.

Fan Yuan stopped the car when they came to a red light at an intersection and looked out the window. It was already dusk and the sky was full of red clouds. The eastern clouds were painted with a gorgeous golden color. He didn't know why, but it suddenly brought to mind the time when Gu Qi drove him home in the previous world.

Unlike Fang Xu's sophistication and steadiness that no one could see nor break through, Gu Qi, although seemingly mature and experienced, still had a purity to him that had not yet been tainted. If one were to look carefully, they could still read the emotions in his eyes.

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter even if I'm disappointed. As long as you are you, I'll just... keep loving you."

The moment when Gu Qi said those words, his clear, smooth young voice deepened and instantly turned husky.

Reflecting back on it now, that was first sign that something was wrong with the male lead, but Fan Yuan's reaction was too slow. He didn't immediately correct it and as a result, the more the plot advanced, the more intense things became. In the end, they progressed past the point of no return. When Xiao Wu said that he was the responsible party, it really had spoken the truth.

He also didn't know what happened to Gu Qi after he left, didn't know if he blamed himself or if he was depressed for a long time. But regardless of how sad Gu Qi felt, he would eventually get over it one day. After all, he was so young and had all the luck in the world. He would surely be able to succeed in business. Things would surely go smoothly for him.

Fang Xu, who was dozing in the passenger seat, suddenly spoke: "Tang Yuan, the light's already turned green."

Fan Yuan's musings were abruptly cut off as he focused back in to hear the cacophony of beeps coming from behind their car. He hurriedly accelerated forward.

Fang Xu opened his eyes and tilted his head. His languid voice was sleepy but his eyes were exceptionally bright. "What were you thinking about?"

Fan Yuan sucked in a quiet breath, not knowing why he felt guilty all of a sudden. He didn't bat an eyelash as he said, "I was just thinking about how unusual you acted today, thinking about why you would help an unfamiliar woman."

The corners of Fang Xu's lips tilted up as he lazily replied, "What's there to think about? Can't I be nice once in a while? Besides, that young woman was pretty interesting."

Fan Yuan wanted to press him for more information and continue to ask about his feelings towards the female lead, but Fang Xu closed his eyes, looking for all the world as if he didn't want to chat with him anymore.

"Xiao Wu, do you think the male lead looks like he's been moved by the female lead? Why do I feel like it doesn't seem that way."

"Ding. This can still be considered a normal situation. In the original work, the male lead didn't become interested in the female lead right from the start. He gradually became attracted to the female lead over the course of their interactions. Today is their first meeting. There's still a lot of plot to develop. Master, please don't slack off. Keep working hard."

Fan Yuan nodded his head over and over. In a voice laden with self-confidence, he said, "Relax. I definitely won't let you down."

That's right! He not only moonlighted as a personal assistant and chauffeur, but as a housekeeper as well.

On more than one occasion, Fan Yuan had seriously doubted whether the original host had masochistic tendencies. Indeed, the male lead was a superstar who radiated a glorious halo on the outside, but not only was he incredibly incompetent in his private life, he was also extremely fussy and nitpicky. Who else but a masochist could ever fall in love with such a man?
