The Celibate Male Lead Broke His Persona - Chapter 10

Chapter 10

Huo Zhui really was worthy of being the male lead.

His body recovered incredibly fast.

It wasn’t long before he was discharged from the hospital.

On the very first day, he dragged me into moving in with him.

It happened so quickly that I almost started to regret it.

Huo Zhui’s stamina was even more terrifying than before.

Every night, he pulled me into bed.

Lately, he’d even learned all kinds of new tricks!

He left me not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

When I tried to run, he grabbed me by the ankle and dragged me back.

I cried as I slapped him.

He just kissed my palm and said, “Liao Qing, have a little pity on me.”

As for Xu Sinian…

Because the plot had collapsed, I no longer had to pay for Xu Sinian’s living expenses, nor did I need to keep tolerating his young-master temper.

I rented out the apartment too, so he had no choice but to move out.

But he couldn’t change his old habit of spending money like water overnight, and he ended up owing quite a bit.

Without my protection, the people he’d offended in the past came looking for him one after another.

Xu Sinian even came crying to me once, saying he could try to accept me and be with me.

He hoped I wouldn’t turn bad, and wanted me to treat him the way I used to.

Unfortunately, the Liao Qing who had once cared for him in every possible way no longer existed.

I had already done more than enough for him.

Huo Zhui simply pulled me into his arms, lowered his head, and kissed me right in front of Xu Sinian. His voice was as cold as ice.

“Xu Sinian, please open your eyes and look carefully. He belongs to me now. Settle your own debts yourself, and don’t come disturb our private time together. It’s annoying.”

Xu Sinian’s face turned deathly pale in an instant. His hand froze in midair, and in the end, he could only flee in humiliation.

After that, I never saw him again.

Aside from that, the System also told me a piece of news.

[I don’t know why, but ever since you broke character, the readers’ excitement value has actually gotten even higher. I even got a promotion and a raise!]

[In short, the readers approve of you two being together now. You won’t disappear three years from now.]

[I’m going back to work. From now on, you and Huo Zhui should just stay sweet and happy together, okay? Mwah!]

In the days that followed, there were no more missions from the System and no more interruptions from Xu Sinian.

There was only Huo Zhui and me.

Every now and then, I would think back to the days when I drifted through one book after another.

Back then, life had always felt like floating at sea-empty, with nowhere I truly belonged.

One night, I was curled up in Huo Zhui’s arms watching a movie.

He suddenly said, “Honestly, I always thought I was dreaming.”

I looked up at him. “Why?”

He smiled.

“I was afraid you’d regret it. Afraid you were only moved in the heat of the moment.”

“Afraid you still liked Xu Sinian the way you used to.”

He tightened his arms around me and held me even closer. “Liao Qing, I never used to believe in things like forever. But after meeting you, I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”

I smiled and said softly, “Me too.”

The movie kept playing, but I no longer had any mind to watch it.

All I could feel was the warmth and heartbeat of the person beside me, steady and reassuring.

For the first time, I took the initiative and kissed him.

This time…

I was loving him as myself.
