Arc 1(8)

As Yu Xin slowly stirred from his peaceful slumber, Feng Li couldn't help but smile affectionately at the sight of his adorable lover. He knew how much Yu Xin treasured his sleep, and he hated to be the one to disrupt such tranquility. But the reality of school hours called, and Feng Li gently nudged Yu Xin awake, whispering soothing words to ease him into consciousness. He couldn't bear to see any worry on Yu Xin's face, knowing that tardiness might bring trouble from the teachers. So, with tender care, he coaxed his baby awake.

After the school day came to an end, Feng Li walked hand in hand with Yu Xin, his protective instincts ever-present. In light of the recent kidnapping cases in the area, Feng Li was determined to ensure Yu Xin's safety. They walked together, sharing sweet moments and laughing at little things, like two stars twinkling in the bright sky.

As they approached Yu Xin's apartment, Feng Li's heart felt a twinge of reluctance. He didn't want to part ways even for a moment, but he knew that Yu Xin needed to freshen up before their evening meeting. Before saying their goodbyes, Feng Li asked Yu Xin once again to meet him at Square Times at 4 pm. Although there were still three hours left, and Square Times was only a 20-minute journey from Yu Xin's apartment, Feng Li couldn't wait to see his baby again.

After stepping inside his apartment, Yu Xin was immediately greeted by the sight of his parents and his alpha brother engaged in an intense conversation. Mama Yu's eyes widened with concern, and without a moment's hesitation, she rushed to her son's side, pulling him into a tight and comforting hug. The warmth of her embrace brought a sense of solace to Yu Xin, who knew that his family's expressions meant that something important was being discussed.

As Yu Xin approached his father and brother, he couldn't help but feel a mix of anxiety and determination. The tension in the room was palpable as his father demanded an explanation for the presence of an alpha's pheromones on him. Yu Xin's heart raced, and he hesitated before finally gathering the courage to speak his truth.

"I... I have a boyfriend," he admitted, his voice trembling ever so slightly. Papa Yu's stern and impatient tone only intensified the pressure on him.

"Break up with him," his father commanded, leaving no room for negotiation.

However, Yu Xin's resolve was unwavering. "I don't want to break up with him. I love him!" he asserted, his eyes welling up with determination and a hint of defiance. His heart had spoken, and he couldn't simply turn his back on his feelings.

Mama Yu, ever the nurturing presence, sensed her son's inner turmoil and gently interjected with a soft question, "Who is it, Yu Xin?" Her tone was gentle, giving Yu Xin the space to open up about the person who had captured his heart.

"He is a student at my school, and his name is Feng Li," Yu Xin revealed, feeling a sense of relief at being able to share his love for Feng Li with his family. "He saved me before, and I fell in love with him."

Mama Yu exchanged a knowing look with Papa Yu, and her next words reflected understanding and acceptance. "So, he is the heir of the Feng family," she stated, acknowledging the difference in their social backgrounds.

Yu Xin's heart sank slightly, fearing that his family might be skeptical about his relationship with Feng Li. But to his surprise, Papa Yu's reply held a more open-minded perspective. "So, what if he is the heir to the Feng Family?" he said, challenging the societal norms that often dictated such relationships. "Our Yu family is also good, OK."

Feeling emboldened by his father's response, Yu Xin's emotions poured out, "What are you guys talking about? He is my boyfriend, not an enemy. Also, I am going to meet him at Square Times at 4 pm."

Papa Yu seemed grumpy and resistant to the idea at first, but Mama Yu stepped in, offering her maternal support. "Let him go; it's his life," she said, embracing her son with love and understanding.

The tension in the room eased, and Yu Xin couldn't help but let out an exuberant "Yay!" with a wide smile on his face. Knowing that his family was slowly accepting his relationship brought immense joy to his heart.

"Fine," Papa Yu finally relented, recognizing the importance of supporting his son's happiness.

Yu Xin's excitement was contagious as he exclaimed, "(≧▽≦) Yay! I'll be back before 8 pm, I promise."

Mama Yu's embrace tightened, and she assured him, "Take your time, but do come back early, OK?"

"OK," Yu Xin replied, feeling a sense of relief and love from his family. As he left for his eagerly awaited meeting with Feng Li, he carried with him the knowledge that his family, even with their initial reservations, was there for him, supporting his happiness and the love he had found.

After arriving home, Feng Li wasted no time in making arrangements for his special surprise for Yu Xin. With a smile on his face, he picked up his phone and contacted a flower bouquet shop, instructing them to create a beautiful bouquet of red roses. The anticipation of seeing Yu Xin's reaction to the bouquet filled him with excitement. He scheduled to pick up the bouquet at 3:30 pm, making sure everything was perfect for their date.

At the appointed time, Feng Li left his apartment, looking dashing in a crisp white T-shirt and sleek black tight jeans that accentuated his handsome features. As he entered the flower bouquet shop, the worker couldn't help but notice the charming aura that seemed to surround him. The worker quickly approached him, eager to assist the handsome customer.

"I ordered a bouquet filled with red roses," Feng Li said with confidence, his presence drawing the worker's attention.

"Of course, sir. May I have the name you registered under?" the worker inquired.

"Feng Li," he replied smoothly, his voice commanding yet polite.

The worker disappeared momentarily to fetch the prepared bouquet, leaving Feng Li to briefly admire the array of colorful flowers adorning the shop. As the worker returned with the bouquet, Feng Li's heart warmed at the sight of the crimson roses beautifully arranged together. After settling the payment, he left the shop, cradling the bouquet with care.

As the charming customer left, the workers couldn't help but exchange glances, still mesmerized by the brief encounter. One of the co-workers had to remind them that they had work to do to avoid getting scolded by the boss.

With the bouquet secured, Feng Li made his way to Square Times, the designated meeting place for his date with Yu Xin. Sitting on one of the benches, he checked his phone to pass the time. The clock was ticking, and there were still ten minutes before Yu Xin was expected to arrive. The excitement in Feng Li's heart only grew stronger as he eagerly awaited the arrival of his beloved.

Every passing moment felt like an eternity as anticipation built up within him. Feng Li couldn't help but think about the sweet surprise he had prepared for Yu Xin. The red roses, symbolizing love and passion, would surely convey his feelings in a language words could not fully express. He imagined the joy and happiness that would light up Yu Xin's face when he presented the bouquet.

As the minutes ticked away, Feng Li's heart pounded with excitement and affection for his lover. The beautiful scenery of Square Times paled in comparison to the joy he felt when he was with Yu Xin. He couldn't wait to see that adorable smile and those bright eyes that held so much warmth and love for him.

As the clock struck 4 pm, Feng Li's heart skipped a beat as he spotted Yu Xin approaching. With excitement and anticipation, he quickly hid the bouquet he had been holding in his right hand behind his back. As Yu Xin turned around upon hearing Feng Li's voice, his face lit up with a bright smile that could rival the sun.

"Baby," Feng Li called out affectionately from behind, his voice filled with warmth and love.

Upon seeing Feng Li, Yu Xin's heart leaped with joy, and he immediately went to his lover's side. Feng Li's presence alone brought comfort and happiness to him.

In a swift yet gentle motion, Feng Li revealed the bouquet of red roses he had carefully concealed. The vibrant crimson petals contrasted beautifully with the tender love in Feng Li's eyes. Without any hesitation, Yu Xin took the bouquet into his hands, his eyes shining with delight.

Feeling overwhelmed by the sweet gesture, Yu Xin couldn't resist pulling Feng Li into a tight embrace, his heart brimming with love and gratitude. At that moment, he couldn't help but express his feelings for Feng Li through a soft, affectionate kiss on the lips. It was a tender, loving exchange that spoke volumes about their deep connection.

After sharing the sweet kiss, they continued to hold each other close, savoring the warmth of their embrace. The amusement park awaited them with its promises of joy and laughter, but in that precious moment, it was just the two of them, wrapped up in each other's love.

Hand in hand, they strolled through the amusement park, taking in the sights and sounds of the bustling environment. The happiness and excitement in Yu Xin's eyes were infectious, and Feng Li found himself falling in love with his adorable partner all over again.

They went on rides, laughed together, and enjoyed every moment of their time at the amusement park. For Feng Li, it was a day of creating beautiful memories with the person he cherished the most.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky with hues of orange and pink, they sat together on a bench, gazing at the stars that slowly started to appear in the darkening sky. Feng Li couldn't help but feel grateful for this beautiful moment, for the chance to be with Yu Xin and share in his joy and love.

At 7 pm, after bidding Yu Xin goodbye at his apartment, Feng Li made his way back home. The journey felt both short and long as his mind was filled with the events of the day, and his heart was still filled with the warmth of Yu Xin's presence. Upon reaching his room, he lay down on his bed, staring up at the ceiling, his thoughts restless.

("System, any news?")

The System's voice responded with a sense of urgency, revealing significant information that could bring down Jiang Corporation.

('I got evidence about a lot of tax evasion by Jiang Corporation, and it appears they are also involved in illegal drug exports.')

With a sense of responsibility, Feng Li knew he had to act immediately.

("Send those evidence to the Police forces.")

('Yes, master.')

In just five minutes, the System confirmed the successful transmission of the evidence.

('It's done, master.')

Feng Li felt a surge of determination. This was just the beginning, and he knew he needed to keep a close eye on the situation.

("Also, did you check about that Song Jin?")

('I did, master. He is reborn.')

Feng Li's curiosity was piqued. The revelation that Song Jin was reborn and the details of his past life's actions were intriguing and disturbing.

("So, what does he want?")

The System conveyed the grim truth about Song Jin's past, how he had harbored ambitions of being a mistress and had schemed against the original owner. It was a tale of deceit and tragedy that ended with Song Jin's untimely death.

("I see. The evidence is sent to the police forces. Now, just keep an eye on them.")

('Yes, master.')

Weeks passed, and the anticipation grew as Feng Li awaited the outcome of his actions. Then, the news finally broke – it was a revelation that shook the city. The President of Jiang Corporation was involved in illegal drug exports and tax evasion.

The impact was immense. The once-powerful corporation was now facing the consequences of its illicit deeds, and the truth was finally coming to light.

Feng Li's heart was filled with a mix of relief and satisfaction. Justice was prevailing, and he knew he had played a part in exposing the corruption.

Amid these events, Feng Li continued to cherish his time with Yu Xin, who brought joy and happiness into his life. Each day spent with his beloved felt like a precious gift, and he made sure to show his love and appreciation at every opportunity.

As the days turned into weeks and weeks into months, Feng Li and Yu Xin's love only grew stronger. They faced challenges and obstacles together, but their bond remained unshakable.

With the support of the System, Feng Li continued to keep a close watch on Song Jin and Jiang Corporation, ensuring that no more harm would come their way.
