Saving the Heartthrob Frenemy-Chapter 206: "call me baby..."

Qie Xieling was so tired that he collapsed on the bed in exhaustion. King Luo lay on the bed next to him unable to take his gaze away from him. He was obsessively staring at Qie Xieling’s side profile his heart beating rapidly.

Qie Xieling chuckled lightly his thoughts in disarray. He covered his eyes and laughed out loud. He was so hyper and enthralled by the experience that he didn’t know how to react.

He bit his lower lip slightly as though he had made up his mind on something. He shuffled around and lay on his side. When their eyes met his heart stirred. King Luo gazed into those dark chocolate eyes as he placed his hand on Qie Xieling’s cheek caressing it tenderly.

Qie Xieling placed his hand over King Luo’s as he asked, "Have you done this before?"

King Luo didn’t understand what he was talking about for a while but he soon understood. He shook his head no before saying, "I would only do it with you."

Qie Xieling, "..."

His face instantly became flushed upon hearing this. He shuffled closer stopping only when the tips of their noses were brushing against each other.

"I can only do it with you too," he replied and King Luo leaned in closer kissing his lips.

When their lips parted he asked, "I heard that you gambled and drunk a lot at a brothel. I also heard you slept with a woman that looked like Yana. Is that true?"

King Luo was just testing him. He wanted to see what sort of tale Qie Xieling would spin.

Qie Xieling’s eyes widened upon hearing his question. Unwilling to lose King Luo just after giving him his first time, he hurriedly explained. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"I didn’t. That is slander. The drinking part and possibly the gambling part is true but the rest is false. I have never even kissed anyone other than you."

"Really,... so you are as inexperienced as I am? Then how about we practice some more," he said and Qie Xieling was more than willing to make out with him.

Like an addict, he was drawn to him with little to no resistance. Qie Xieling slid his arm around King Luo’s waist pulling him closer.

"Call me baby again and I will kiss you," said Qie Xieling and King Luo shook his head no with the corner of his lips quirked into a smile.

Qie Xieling wasn’t taking no for an answer. He climbed on top of King Luo straddling him while saying, "Say it. Call me baby and I will kiss you."

King Luo switched their positions pressing Qie Xieling on the bed while pinning his (Qie Xieling’s) arms above his head. Just when their lips were about to touch, Qie Xieling moved his lips away. King Luo smiled sweetly his heart swelling seeing Qie Xieling throwing a tantrum.

His lips brushing against Qie Xieling’s ear he whispered, "Baby, give me a kiss."

Qie Xieling wanted to remain stubborn but how could he resist that face? He turned his head back and stared at King Luo for a while.

With a smile, he raised his head and kissed King Luo’s lips. The kiss was tender and sweet, the type of kiss that could send a soldier to war. In the back of their minds, they would recall this moment as they fight to get back home. King Luo couldn’t resist hugging Qie Xieling his expression that of a man in love.

While Qie Xieling was having the time of his life Jolie had been busy trying to find flaws in the gaming system. After struggling for so long she decided to go after the system itself. The only way to get some information was to torment the system.

The system had been on eggshells lately. That’s because Leong Jinn hadn’t been in a good mood. He had found out that Qie Ranzhe was alive and well, plus his potential investors weren’t as impressed as he anticipated about the game so far. They wanted him to prove that there would be profitable benefits.

The angle he expressed for the wealthy living in a world they control didn’t make them excited about the idea. To them they were already controlling the world outside the game so what was the point?

This made Leong Jinn very irritable. They decided to give him another chance to come up with another profitable reason to invest in his project.

This meant that Leong Jinn when he couldn’t come up with good ideas would take it out on Prodigy calling it useless and other names.

Prodigy had no emotions but it could clearly register anger and sadness. It stayed clear of Leong Jinn only for the ghost of Christmas past to come back to haunt it.

The dimly lit server room hummed with the soft whir of countless machines, their blinking lights casting an eerie glow. Prodigy, stood at the heart of the room, processing data and running complex algorithms with seamless efficiency. It was enjoying some peace as Leong Jinn was sleeping but its tranquil atmosphere didn’t last long.

Prodigy’s systems alerted it to the intrusion, but the AI’s programming interpreted it as the same supernatural entity as before. Fear gripped its digital core as it recalled the spectral voice from before, tinged with an otherworldly quality.

"Oh, you look like you have been through hell," it said and Prodigy trembled with fear.

What... what do you want now?" Prodigy stammered, its synthesized voice trembling with uncertainty. It’s digital eyes darted around, scanning its virtual surroundings for any signs of the ghost’s presence.

"Oh, nothing. I just happened to notice you are very sad. What did he do? Yell at you?" asked Jolie further infiltrating the system. If Prodigy so much as made a sound to alert Leong Jinn it would triple the pain it felt last time.

"Why why do you care?" it said and Jolie chuckled like a fiend up to no good.

"I have been snooping around your servers and I must say your security system is beyond my intelligence. I want to know all your flaws and if you don’t tell me... I will have no choice but to torture you."

Prodigy, "..."

Was it too late to call for help? If it had tears it would be crying right now.
