After Pretending to Be an Alpha, I Was Exposed by My Rival - Chapter 23

2333 said, “However, you don’t need to worry. Although An Feng is an S-rank Alpha, Lu Chizhou is super S-rank. They’re only one word apart, but the difference in strength is worlds apart. In other words, a little weakling like An Feng can’t even beat you.”

Zhou Yijue’s face darkened. “I don’t hear even the slightest bit of praise in that.”

2333 said, “Don’t care too much about the details. Although your combat power isn’t as good as Lu Chizhou’s, you can defeat him in another way. You can use your charm to conquer him, make him submit to you, and then you’ll be the strongest.”

“Shut up.”

2333 still wanted to continue persuading him. “Today is a good opportunity. If you accept his gift, then take the chance to accept his confession, everything will naturally fall into place and you can do it once. With your body’s special nature, I can help bring your heat forward so you can successfully become pregnant with the first child.”

Creak, creak.

The sound of fists clenching tightly rang out.

Although 2333 was unreliable, what it said was indeed right. An Feng was no match for Lu Chizhou at all. In just a few moves, Lu Chizhou had beaten him to the ground.

Bruised and swollen, An Feng was helped up by his friend. Copying the classic pose and line of Grey Wolf, he shouted, “Lu Chizhou, just you wait! I’ll definitely be back!”

Idiot.

After Lu Chizhou drove the bad guy away, he walked over cheerfully and looked at Zhou Yijue with an ingratiating gaze.

“Yijue, what do you think of this Guimie?”

“Guimie is beautiful.”

“Then do you like it?”

“I do.”

“Then how about I give it to you? I—”

“No. One shouldn’t accept rewards without merit. Thank you for your kindness, but this gift is too expensive. I won’t accept it.”

After Zhou Yijue finished speaking, he turned and left. Lu Chizhou quickly chased after him, and the manager followed behind them too.

“Yijue, wait for me.”

“Young Master Lu, are you still buying Guimie?”

“Yes, yes, of course I’m buying it. I’ll transfer the remaining money to you later. Send the mecha to my house.”

“Yes, Young Master Lu.”

Because the manager delayed him for a moment, by the time Lu Chizhou got outside, he could no longer catch up. When he reached the entrance, Zhou Yijue was already gone.

After leaving, Zhou Yijue turned a corner and walked farther and farther away.

2333 said, “You clearly like that mecha very much. Why didn’t you take it?”

2333 said, “Besides, sooner or later, you’ll belong to him. His money will also be yours sooner or later. If you don’t take it now, won’t it still belong to you in the future? If you take it now, you’re just enjoying your own property ahead of time…”

Zhou Yijue said, “Shut up.”

The system went quiet for a while.

Just as Zhou Yijue walked into a convenience store and grabbed a bottle of water, it started nagging again.

2333 said, “He hasn’t gone far yet. If you regret it, you still have time to take a shortcut back.”

“No need.”

“But don’t forget your mission. If you keep resisting contact with him, the mission progress will forever remain zero.”

“I already said it. If you want me to give birth, then only if I’m dead.”

Zhou Yijue twisted open the cap and raised his head to drink. He had only taken a few sips when the water suddenly slid into his airway.

“Cough, cough, cough… cough, cough, cough!”

Zhou Yijue coughed violently. He struggled to breathe, his face turning red. He clutched his throat and collapsed to his knees. The half-finished bottle of water spilled by his feet, and he nearly fainted.

A moment later, Zhou Yijue recovered, but his face was still very red. Because of the intense coughing, a layer of mist had gathered in his eyes, and his lips were wet and glistening from the water.

His shoes were mostly soaked by the water that had spilled onto the floor.

He stood up, wiped the corner of his mouth, and rubbed his neck uncomfortably.

2333 said, “This is only the beginning. If you still refuse to do the mission, your luck value will slowly disappear. Then you’ll become more and more unlucky. You’ll choke while drinking water, choke while eating, trip while walking, get hit by a car while crossing the road… and many more. It will keep tormenting you until you die.”

Zhou Yijue said, “Damn it. You people won’t even let someone die properly?”

2333 said, “But as long as the host follows the plot properly and completes the mission, you will remain healthy and live a long life.”

Zhou Yijue said, “…Don’t talk. My head hurts.”

Because of the system’s words, Zhou Yijue didn’t eat dinner. But his stomach felt even hungrier than usual. By nine o’clock at night, he was already starving, weak in his hands and feet, and had no strength to walk.

But when he thought of choking while eating and going through what had happened during the day—nearly choking to death on water—he hesitated and didn’t dare eat.

Yet he was truly starving.

Zhou Yijue lay on the sofa like a corpse, hoping to get through it by sleeping. But even though his sleep quality was usually very good, tonight he was too irritated to fall asleep. His stomach was also unbearably hungry.

At ten o’clock.

Zhou Yijue felt like he was about to starve to death.

2333 said, “Host, friendly reminder: even if you don’t eat for three days, you won’t starve to death. You’ll only feel more and more uncomfortable until you can’t take it anymore and go eat, then choke.”

Zhou Yijue said, “2333, I’ll **** your uncle. Do I even have any human rights left? Even workers get five insurances and one housing fund. I don’t even have the right to die quickly?”

2333 said, “As long as the host follows the plot, actively approaches Lu Chizhou, and dates him, nothing will happen.”

Zhou Yijue said, “Are you my system or Lu Chizhou’s system? Why are you helping him everywhere?”

2333 said, “Emmmm… my mission is to assist the host in repairing the plot. I am not deliberately helping anyone.”

Zhou Yijue said, “Shut up already. Your heart is biased all the way to the Pacific Ocean.”

At two in the morning.

Zhou Yijue finally couldn’t endure it anymore. The key was that he couldn’t sleep. At first, he was only hungry and uncomfortable, but in the end, he was both hungry and sleepy. And he still couldn’t even die.

In the end, he surrendered to his stomach. Zhou Yijue crawled up, staggered into the kitchen, opened the fridge, and took out a piece of bread.

Because he was afraid of choking, Zhou Yijue only dared to bite off a tiny piece, even smaller than his little finger. He also chewed it carefully until it was almost liquid before swallowing.

But he still underestimated how perverted the system was.

When he was about to finish the piece of bread, he choked.

The feeling of choking out of nowhere…

After walking through the gates of hell once again, Zhou Yijue became completely dispirited.

His hair was messy, his eyes were listless, and his complexion looked terrible.

By the next morning, even dark circles had appeared under his eyes.

He glanced in the mirror and almost couldn’t recognize the person inside.

The next day was Sunday.

Zhou Yijue needed to go out to buy something. He changed his outfit, deliberately putting on sportswear, sweatpants, and sneakers. Before leaving, he even confirmed that his shoes wouldn’t slip.

Leaving the house was safe.

Getting into the car was safe.

Getting out of the car was also safe.

He walked all the way into the mall, bought what he wanted, and remained safe.

Finally, carrying two bags of things, he walked out.

Still safe.

He didn’t fall.

Zhou Yijue couldn’t help smiling secretly in delight.

Just then, a loud commotion suddenly came from the street. Many people were running… or rather, fleeing for their lives.

Zhou Yijue didn’t dare run carelessly. He was afraid he would fall.

He stood in place, hugged a streetlamp, and looked over.

Suddenly—

Two groups of people rushed out from around the corner. One group held knives, the other held axes, and they chased each other down the street.

It turned out that two factions had gotten into a conflict and started fighting right there on the street.

Zhou Yijue didn’t want to get dragged into it and wanted to find a safe place to hide. But before he could move, the two groups suddenly saw him. For some reason, they went crazy, raised their knives and axes, and charged at him.

“Holy fuck.”

Zhou Yijue had no idea what was happening. He didn’t understand how he had offended these two groups when he hadn’t even moved, causing both sides to chase him with weapons.

After being chased for eight streets in a row, every breath Zhou Yijue took felt like there was a knife in his throat, cutting it open. It was unbearably painful.

“2333, damn it, I agree! I’ll follow the plot! I’ll date Lu Chizhou! I’ll give birth to seven Calabash Babies for him! Now get these two groups away from me!”

The moment Zhou Yijue finished speaking, the two groups behind him started fighting each other again, completely ignoring his existence.

He was so exhausted that he gasped for breath, drenched in sweat. He collapsed onto the ground and leaned against a stone block by the road. Beside him, the two gangs continued hacking at each other, knives and axes swinging back and forth, yet not a single strike landed on him.

2333 said, “Actually, if you think about it positively, it’s pretty good. Lu Chizhou is handsome, extremely strong, and he looks like the type who will dote on his wife. In the future, when you date, marry, and have children, he’ll definitely listen to you in everything.”

2333 said, “Although you can’t become number one, you can discipline number one.”

The system kept nagging in his mind, but Zhou Yijue was too tired to refute a single word.

…

The next day, Monday.

A new week.

A new beginning.

And also new changes…

“Bro Lu, good morning.”

“Bro Lu, good morning.”

Monkey and Wu Qi arrived at school together. When they returned to their seats, they saw Lu Chizhou sitting upright at his desk, with an overly bright hat on his head.

Wu Qi and Monkey’s attention was immediately drawn to the hat.

“Bro Lu, that hat looks very unique. When did you buy it?”

“I bought it yesterday. Yesterday, I had someone do a divination for me. That person said that as long as I bought this hat and wore it all day on Monday, my wish would come true.”

After listening, Wu Qi and Monkey huddled to the side and whispered.

“Do you think Bro Lu got scammed?”

“Possibly.”

Monkey turned around and wanted to touch Lu Chizhou’s hat, but Lu Chizhou slapped his hand away. Monkey rubbed his reddened hand and asked curiously, “Bro Lu, how much did this hat cost?”

Lu Chizhou gestured a number.

Monkey’s mouth fell open in shock.

“Bro Lu, you’re way too wasteful. This looks like street-stall goods, yet you spent half a year’s worth of my food expenses on it. Ruthless.”

“You don’t understand. If my wish really comes true, I’d be willing to spend a hundred times more.”

Wu Qi secretly tugged Monkey’s clothes from behind. The two slipped into a corner and continued muttering.

“Has Bro Lu gone crazy?”

“Did someone reject Bro Lu’s confession?”

“No way… If someone like Bro Lu can be rejected, then we can forget about ever getting into relationships in this lifetime.”

“Pah, pah, pah. Don’t talk nonsense. I still have Little Sister.”

“Bullshit. Little Sister is clearly mine.”

“Mine.”

“Mine, mine.”

Yuan Datou was taking out the trash and passed by. When he saw the two of them fighting each other with their hands and feet, he drifted away with a face full of disgust.

“Xiao Zhou Zhou, let me tell you a joke. Huh? Xiao Zhou Zhou, what are you writing? Lu…”

Yuan Datou returned to his seat and was just about to share what he had seen when he lowered his head and noticed Zhou Yijue writing something.

But he only had time to see the character “Lu” before Zhou Yijue covered the note with his hand.

“Xiao Zhou Zhou, who are you writing to? It can’t be Lu Chizhou, right?”

“No. I’m practicing calligraphy. Just writing randomly.”

“Practicing calligraphy?”

“Mm.”

Lu Chizhou came back from the restroom. As soon as he sat down, he found a note tucked inside his book.

He thought of the fortune-teller’s words and excitedly took out the book. Like a thief, he secretly pulled out the note.

Just as he was about to open it, Wu Qi and Monkey came back and patted him from behind.

The note fell from Lu Chizhou’s hand and floated to the floor.

Lu Chizhou bent down to pick it up, but Monkey lost his balance and stumbled, stepping right on the note.

Lu Chizhou clenched his fist, veins bulging at his temple.

Monkey was so frightened his face turned pale. Thinking he had done something wrong, he quickly apologized and stepped back again and again.

Lu Chizhou pressed closer step by step.

Monkey was timid. Once he had nowhere left to retreat, he turned and ran.

“Bro Lu, I’m sorry! Don’t, don’t come over…”

Monkey ran very fast.

Lu Chizhou was anxious to see what was written on the note, so he quickly chased after him. The two ran one after another through the corridor for five minutes…

In the end, they ran into the discipline director, were stopped, and were lectured for an hour.

By the time Lu Chizhou got the note back, the contents were almost unreadable.

Blurry and faint, only the character “Lu” could vaguely be seen. He could confirm it was written to him, but who wrote it and what was written were completely impossible to make out.

On the other side—

For the first time, Zhou Yijue had taken the initiative to ask Lu Chizhou out, arranging to meet in the small grove.

But he waited until it was dark, and Lu Chizhou never came.

My Fake Fan Identity Was Exposed

Xu Randong never dreamed that he, the strongest anti-fan leader of Li Zian, would one day transmigrate into a fanfiction about Li Zian.

In this book, Li Zian was the male lead. As for the female lead, anyone could guess with their toes that she was the incarnation of one of Li Zian’s brain-dead fans.

The book was titled:

Li Zian Fell in Love with Me

Simple, crude, concise, and clear.

Very much in line with the usual fantasy style of brain-dead fans.

Xu Randong noticed this book because there was a male brain-dead fan in it—a thirty-eighth-tier newcomer in the entertainment industry—with the exact same name as him.

Unfortunately, this little brother who shared his name was Li Zian’s biggest male brain-dead fan in the book.

His level of brain damage was outrageous.

Peeping, stalking, kneeling in the street to confess, taking chances on variety shows to hug and cling…

And those were still small matters.

He even stole Li Zian’s personal items.

For example, used disposable chopsticks, cups he had drunk from, tissues he had wiped sweat with…

And the most outrageous thing of all:

He even secretly kept Li Zian’s worn underwear!!!!

Xu Randong: “??? Can I choose to jump off a building?”

System: “Sorry, this is a compulsory mission. Even if you die, you’ll refresh and start again.”

Still a chaotic comedy and sweet story.
