SYSTEM VENUS (BXB)

CHRISTMAS MIRACLES

Noah looked at his watch. It was almost twelve, June must be waiting for him. He took in a deep breath and knocked his father's study room.

"Come in."

Noah opened the door and found his dad– Michael Zang sitting by his desk on the blood red arm chair reading a book. His dark hair was slicked back and there was a streak of grey on both side of his temples. His equally dark eyes were lazily travelling through the printed words of the book.

"Dad, I want to talk about something."

Without looking up, Michael absently nodded.

Noah licked his lips, "I want to resign from the company."

Michael looked sharply at his son and narrowed his eyes, "What nonsense are you spouting, Noah?"

"You heard me," Noah said, his voice firm, "I want to resign, I don't want to work for Zang company."

Michael slammed his book shut and got up. His hard eyes studied his son.

"What is it?" he spat.

Noah shrugged, "I don't want to marry Clover Xiao and I hate working at the company it was just a coping mechanism after–", he stopped abruptly.

After Sara Zang's death, everyone in the Zang family broke in one way or other. Michael handed over the company to his youngest son and Noah turned into a workaholic.

Chris became even more gentel and matured whereas Justin became even more sour.

Michael sighed as he pressed the bridge of his nose, "Don't talk like an idiot–"

"And I am in love with someone else," Noah blurt.

Michael scoffed, "Whoever this girl is she just wants–"

"A man," Noah corrected.

Michael blinked, "What?"

Noah looked straight at his dad's face, his voice steady as he spoke his next words, "I am in love with a man, He's–"

Before Noah would progress what happened, he felt his father's hand colliding against his left cheek. The slap was loud and hard. Noah stood quietly as he heard a ringing sound and felt a stinging pain on his cheek.

Noah slowly bought his hand over his cheek, his head hung low as he stared at the floor blankly.

"Get out," Michael hissed. His youngest son, Noah had always reminded Michael of his wife. Out of all his sons, Noah had his mother's eyes.

Those eyes belonged to the woman Michael Zang had fell in love with years ago. He died the day his wife did. And Noah took the job helping him rest.

But this was too much, Micheal would have withdrawn the engagement with the Xiao family but his son is love with a guy? Their company would be in ruins in a blink of an eye.

Noah slowly turned away and opened the room's door, "Good bye dad," he muttered, "And Merry Christmas."

Noah knew he should be heartbroken and sad about his father's reaction but somehow when his father told him to leave, he felt a weigh leaving his shoulders. The air suddenly felt lighter and a sense of freedom gripped him.

Chris was by the front door holding Noah's luggage. As Noah got closer, Chris frowned at the red mark on his cheek, "Did he–"

"It's nothing," Noah smiled, as he took the luggage and hugged his brother, "I will call you tomorrow. Take care."

Chris let out a loud sigh. He hugged him back, "Don't forget to call me and take care, introduce your lover to me later."

Noah chuckled, "Lover?"

"Here," Chris said as he gave Noah a car key, "Your Christmas gift."

Noah blinked as he took the key, "I don't have any gift for you."

"Just go and be happy with him," Chris placed a hand on Noah's shoulder and shook it. He gave his younger brother a warm smile. 1

"It's worth a gift to me."

June quickly got up from the couch and scurried towards the front door when he heard it opening. He shivered at the cold air but his eyes were on Noah who was smiling with face was flushed and he was with a luggage.

"Noah! You came!" June exclaimed, his voice thick as he threw himself on Noah. He wrapped his arm around Noah's neck and hugged him tightly. Noah snaked his arms around June's waist and hugged him back.

"Of course, I came,"Noah said, burying his face on June's shoulder, taking in his scent.
June pulled away and smiled,"Let's go inside."

While Noah was having family dinner, June had tirelessly, decorated the living room with fairy lights and a Christmas tree. The main lights were turned off but the fairy lights were enough to brighten up the living room.

June's smile dropped when he saw a faint finger marks on Noah's cheek under the bright light. He bought his hand slowly and brushed against the red mark lightly. Noah hissed.
June looked worriedly at him, "Is it because of me?", he asked.

Tears brimmed his eyes,"You got hurt because of me? Does it hurt badly? Oh my God , of course it does, I am so stupid..."

June wiped his eyes with his sleeve, as he continued with his rambling,"I am so so sorry," he mumbled but froze, when he saw Noah on his knees, with a small box in his hand.

"What–"

"June Weng,"  Noah said, smiling he opened the box to reveal a sliver ring, "This is not a ring from Walmart. My mom gave it to be before she passed away, she had told me to give this to the person with whom I want to spent the rest of my life with."

June gave Noah a stunned look. Noah continued, "June Weng, I have some dollars in my wallet, along with some credit and debit cards which I am sure will be freezed by tomorrow morning, I am homeless and jobless but despite all my misfortunes will you still marry me?"

June looked into those storm grey eyes which looked a shade darker under the fairy lights but held so much love, June knew that the real owner of this body was now blessed with the kind of love it deserved.

After all, who gives up a multimillionaire company for you everyday?

June threw himself at Noah and tackled him to the floor, he kissed every part of Noah's face, tears were flowing down his face but the were  tears of joy.

He smiled widely at Noah and bought out his hand and wiggled his fingers indicating Noah to slip the ring.

"Yes!" June squealed.

Noah laughed softly and reached out to wipe June's tears. He planted a soft kiss on his lips.

[Male lead's favorability point towards June Weng +10 current favorability points:100%]

[Congratulations, host! Mission accomplished. Copying and transferring memories...]

[...complete. Host, do you want to leave this world, right now?]

June watched Noah slip the ring in his ring finger, both of them were kneeing on the floor. He looked at Noah's face one last time. The brilliant grey eyes were looking moist. June cupped Noah's face and pulled him into a kiss.

He smiled happily against the deepening kiss as he answered to his system, "Yes, Venus."

June felt himself fall into a deep void of dark nothingness.
