Chapter 8 - Very Good. Keep Forcing Me, No Need to Stop.
Added a warning to the novel page, but will reiterate it here. I decided to add this warning because the further I get into this story, the more I realized that this may be triggering to some people, especially if they haven’t seen the tags on NU.
WARNING: Because the author likes to write from the “role’s” point of view, a lot of the story seems dubcon or noncon (Though from the MC’s thoughts, you know he’s acting). HOWEVER. If you are uncomfortable reading rape, please be forewarned and proceed at your own discretion.

When Zhou Yizhe returned to his apartment, he discovered that Zhou Yian was there waiting for him.
Zhou Yizhe and this little brother of his were not considered close by any means. To come meet him at the entrance of Zhou Yizhe’s home in the middle of the night was exceptionally abnormal. However, there are often reasons for any kind of strange behaviour.
Zhou Yizhe thought that he most likely knew what this reason was–No—there could only be this one reason.
“Come in and sit for awhile?” Zhou Yizhe opened the door and spoke indifferently.
Zhou Yian’s expression was dark. The gaze he used to watch Zhou Yizhe did not conceal his hatred. He silently followed the other into the apartment.
Zhou Yizhe took off his coat and tossed it casually onto the sofa. He loosened his necktie, “I won’t invite you to drink some tea. If you have something to say, then say it.”
“I just came here to ask you one question,” Zhou Yian looked at him with a firm gaze. His eyes held a restrained but profound anger, “He...Did he do it voluntarily, or did you force him?”
Zhou Yian didn’t say that person’s name, but Zhou Yizhe clearly understood who he referred to. He was also clear about what this question implied. At this moment, he had two choices. One was to explain everything that had happened from beginning to end. In this case, considering Zhou Yian’s feelings towards Zhao Qing, he would very likely forgive Zhao Qing, and the two people would be on good terms again. The other option was to only speak about the result and not the cause. In that case......the relationship between those two would end, and Zhao Qing would become an unattached man.
The two ideas fought against each other in Zhou Yizhe’s head for a brief instant.
The corner of Zhou Yizhe’s mouth slowly raised. With a tone of indifference and scorn, he said, “Are you talking about Zhao Qing?”
The mocking smile on his face deepened as he spoke, slow and clear, “He’s not worth forcing. Naturally, it was out of his own volition.”
The first time had indeed been like he had said. It couldn’t be said that he had lied.
Zhou Yian’s eyes immediately turned red! He gnashed his teeth and threw a punch.
In this instant, he had no other thoughts inside his head. He only thought that he wanted to smash this repulsive face! He wanted to make sure that the other would have no way to use such a pejorative tone to ridicule his love!
This kind of consequence was well within Zhou Yizhe’s expectations. He dodged at lightning speed, grabbed onto the collar of Zhou Yian’s shirt, and fiercely threw the other onto the ground. He laughed slightly, “What are you angry for?”
“I’ll kill you!” Zhou Yian’s voice was full of hate and was frightfully cold.
“You can’t even take care of him well, nor can you give him a better life. You can’t do anything for him,” Zhou Yizhe’s smile turned frigid, “But I’m willing do such things for him, so what’re you dissatisfied about?”
..............................
Xie He’s life was extremely satisfying. After Zhou Yian had left that day, Xie He shut himself into his home. He then began to watch movies and eat delicious food.
The delicacies offered by the system were unlike anything else! Specialty products from heaven, interstellar Zergs, Earth food, alien food, cultivator food, demonic food...everything you could imagine was there in the store. It was only a matter of whether or not you could afford it. At this time, Xie He was profoundly aware of his poor financial situation. He felt that he had extorted too little from the system at that time. Nevertheless, Xie He was very interested in the omnipotence of the system store.
In his original world, he had stood at the pinnacle of life. Xie He, who had previously had so much money that he couldn’t have possibly ever used it all, once again experienced a drive to work hard.
In just a few days, he had spent 3000 experience points on food. Furthermore, he should save a bit....
On the sixth day, someone finally came to knock on the door.
&#k3010;Xie He&#kUU1J;Who came?&#k3011;
&#k3010;444&#kUU1J;Zhou Yizhe&#kUU01;&#k3011;
【Xie He：Quickly, help me exchange for a ‘Dead Inside’ expression pack 】Xie He had eaten and drank well these past few days. He had a rosy and radiant complexion. No matter how good his acting was, it couldn’t make up for a lacking hardware.
&#k3010;444&#kUU1J;Yes! The &#k2018;Dead Inside’ expression pack“ costs 300 experience points. Exchange complete!&#k3011;
At a speed visible to the naked eye, Xie He’s complexion ashened in an instant. A dense air of depression appeared around his entire person.
Knock, knock, knock. The knock on the door sounded once more. After three knocks, it stopped.
Xie He laid on the sofa motionless. When he had thought that the other had left, another three knocks came once more, neither too fast nor too slow. The rhythm of the knocks was completely identical to the previous. From this, it could be seen that the person knocking was someone who was extremely patient and self-disciplined.
It was only after the third time the knocks sounded that Xie He’s expression gradually changed. He made to get up and walked to open the door at a snail’s pace. The instant he clearly saw the person outside, his pupils contracted slightly. At that moment, he wanted to close the door again! However, Zhou Yizhe wouldn’t give him such an opportunity. His arm exerted some force, and he directly pushed the door wide open! Xie He’s footing wasn’t stable and so he ended up stumbling backwards with the door.
A flash of pain flitted through his eyes. Immediately after, Xie He cast his sight down, as if he had not seen Zhou Yizhe at all. In this manner, he once again returned to lay on the sofa, raising a hand to cover his eyes.
Zhou Yizhe had never seen Zhao Qing like this before.
The skin that he loved to fondle with had currently lost all its lustre; the eyes that were always clear and obstinate were now as cold as that of the dead’s; the previously soft and moist lips were now slightly chapped—his entire person was like a tender and beautiful flower that had withered due to a lack of water.
Or maybe.......he was merely a walking corpse.
Zhao Qing in this state wasn’t beautiful by any means. He looked so frail that it seemed as if even a light touch would break him. Unexpectedly......this made Zhou Yizhe’s heart race.
For a second, he questioned his own decision —-was it right to do things like this? But... it was only for an instant. The next moment, his expression was once again covered by a layer of frost. He would never regret his decisions.
Zhou Yizhe naturally grabbed a glass of water from the water dispenser. He then walked to Xie He’s side to support him up, “Drink some water.”
Xie He closed his eyes and didn’t resist but he didn’t respond either, as if he was sleeping. However, his eyelashes trembled, exposing the fact that his heart wasn’t calm at all.
Zhou Yizhe was not good at coaxing other people. He preferred practicality and thus liked to use actions. For example, at this very moment, he really wanted to moisten that pair of dry lips. So he poured a mouthful of water into his mouth and directly kissed the other person. The water flowed down from where the two people’s lips met...Zhou Yizhe persevered in prying open the youth’s lips and passed the water into the other’s mouth. After, he slowly licked the youth’s lips bit by bit, not leaving a single spot untouched, until that pair of lips once again became bright and moist. Only when its breathtaking beauty blossomed, did he let go, feeling satisfied.
Xie He had began to react a bit upon being kissed. He could no longer pretend to be asleep any longer so he slowly opened his eyes. He gazed at Zhou Yizhe silently. A long time later, he spoke with a insipid tone, “You. Do you like me?”
Even if Zhao Qing was slow, even he would understand what was happening by now.
Zhou Yizhe narrowed his eyes and was silent for a few seconds, “Yes.”
Xie He looked at him calmly, “I only love Zhou Yian.”
Zhou Yizhe smiled and did not expose any anger at being rejected. He lowered his head to gaze at the youth, “I know. He also loves you very much.”
This sentence made Xie He’s face pale even more. It was white to the point of almost becoming transparent. His hands clenched the sofa beneath him and he used his limpid gaze to look at Zhou Yizhe, “So please get out.”
“Are you sure about that?” Zhou Yizhe asked with a laugh.
Xie He parted his lips, wanting to speak. Zhou Yizhe suddenly spoke with a low, magnetic voice, “There’s no need to reply so quickly. Don’t you want to know how Zhou Yian is right now? Don’t you want to know why he couldn’t come back to find you? Do you not...want to see him again?”
Not want...? No, he wanted to see him. He wanted to see him all the time. Since Zhou Yian had left...he couldn’t close his eyes because every time he closed them, he would see Zhou Yian. Zhou Yian who smiled at him softly, Zhou Yian who was sweet as honey towards him, Zhou Yian who would shamelessly bicker with him...even the Zhou Yian who looked at him with hate and despise.
He had already thought about him so much that he was about to go mad.
All kinds of complicated feelings emerged on his face.
Xie He lips quivered slightly. A long time later, he spat out one word, “Despicable.”
“Thank you for the compliment,” Zhou Yizhe lifted Xie He’s chin and frivolously said, “How about you give me a kiss and I’ll tell you everything.”
Xie He set his gaze onto him, his face gradually exposing a distressed look. When Zhou Yizhe thought he would yield as he did in the past, a vicious light abruptly shone from Xie He’s eyes. His look of hatred almost tangible. He shouted himself hoarse, “In! Your! Dreams!”
The smile on Zhou Yizhe’s face disappeared in an instant. He stood up and looked down at Xie He arrogantly, “There’s no benefit in being too stubborn.”
Xie He gave a sneer in return.
The corner of Zhou Yizhe’s mouth raised, “However, my mood isn’t bad today, so I’m willing to tell you this information, free of charge. Zhou Yian thinks that you took the initiative to throw yourself into my arms. He loathes you very much right now. Naturally, he isn’t willing to come see you. That’s right... He went back to our family home and asked Father to let him work at our company. Father has already agreed, so tomorrow he will start working at our corporation. Song Ruyi had wasted 10 years but couldn’t get him to change his mind. You, however, easily did so. You made him give up on his dream, give up on persevering. You made him take the initiative to return to the home that he hates, made him have to curry favour and use unscrupulous means to climb up the corporate ladder. You made him turn into the kind of person that he used to hate. With regards to this, I admire you quite a bit.”
The barrier in Xie He’s eyes was gradually smashed to bits, exposing the underlying suffering.
“It’s such a pity that he had come to his senses a little too late. To want to fight with me presently, he’s truly overestimating his own capabilities. If he had obediently stayed within his boundaries, then he would have had a share of the Zhou Family. However, he currently seems to be unable to appreciate my kindness, wanting to oppose me in vain...I’m the kind of person who is never very amiable towards my enemies,” Zhou Yizhe paused and smiled slightly, “Say, if I were to knock him back down, make it so that he has nothing to his name, will he fall apart? I can also sweep that hateful mother of his out the door with him without much effort...If he were to lose you, the money and power that he thought he had, and even his barely significant identity...if that happened, would he experience true despair? Just thinking about his expression at that time makes me really amused.”
Xie He looked at the other in a daze, like Zhou Yizhe was some kind of frightening fiend in his eyes.
“He...He’s your younger brother...How could you be like this?” Xie He looked at him incredulously. In this world, how could there be such a cold-hearted and ruthless person?
“That’s right. However, it’s too bad that his mother is a mistress, had angered my mother to death, and then entered the inner chamber before my eyes.
“You—” Xie He’s eyes held a complicated look of pain, and tried to justify in vain, “But he–he and his mother are not the same....He has never wanted to hurt you, and has never wanted to fight against you before. He has always looked up to you.”
“That was then,” Zhou Yizhe smiled in contempt, “Before, I also had not wanted to deal with him. As long as he lived on well, then that was fine.”
“You...” Xie He was left speechless. He shut his eyes.
A long time later, he slowly opened his mouth, “I agree.”
He said these words sounding like he had exhausted all of his strength.
Zhou Yizhe’s lips exposed a ridiculing smile, “What are you agreeing to?”
Xie He closed his eyes in humiliation and did not struggle. He resigned himself to his fate, “I’ll kiss you.”
He was really naive to the point of making people want to make him cry. Zhou Yizhe laughed, “I think that you don’t fully understand. That was merely the reward for answering your question. I have already told you, free of charge. If you want more, then you have to pay more. This is the most basic principle of equivalent exchange.”
Xie He’s voice did not fluctuate. He didn’t even ask what he meant. He only spoke without hesitation, “I will agree to anything.”
Zhou Yizhe’s expression suddenly turned frigid. Xie He’s words took away his chance to say the words he still had left. This was the first time that he was the passive party between the two of them. Clearly, he is a person who has to be in control of everything. Clearly, he was a formidable person. However, the seemingly weak youth before him, with his persistent courage that allowed him to give up everything for his lover without any hesitation, allowed him to cut off his own escape route in order to break past Zhou Yizhe’s intentions of making him feel hard-pressed.
This was the first time anything had gone out of his control!
He clearly remembered the expression the youth used to look at Zhou Yian. It was entirely different from the one he used to look at himself. In that pair of eyes was a warm love that Zhou Yizhe had never been given. At this instant, he realized that the youth’s love was much deeper than he had imagined...so much that it made him rather jealous.
If that pair of eyes filled with love looked at him in that way, how wonderful would that feel...

Zhou Yizhe’s voice was icy, without a trace of warmth, “Do you know what you’re agreeing to?”
“Anything is fine, “ Xie He looked at him calmly, “As long as you promise not to hurt him.”
“Don’t think of yourself so highly. You’re not worth abandoning such a benefit for,” Zhou Yizhe raised an eyebrow, “I’ll only agree to that promise if you do as you’re told and make me happy. Then, I can consider showing some degree of leniency towards Zhou Yian. Of course, it also depends on his behaviour. Do you agree to this?”
Xie He’s clenched fist loosened. He really wanted to hurl all sorts of abuse towards this person in front of him, but he couldn’t. He had already lost Zhou Yian, how could he afford to lose this final opportunity to help him? He was powerless. The only thing he could give him was this heart of his, which would stop at nothing and pay any price to achieve his goal. freew(e)bnovel.(c)om
“I’m willing,” Xie He enunciated each word.
Zhou Yizhe achieved his purpose, but he did not feel ecstatic as he had expected. He closely examined the youth before him and coldly ordered, “Get on the bed.”
The implicit meaning of this phrase was evident. Xie He’s fingers suddenly clenched. That! That was the bed he and Zhou Yian shared!
“What? Are you regretting it already?” Zhou Yizhe mocked him with a laugh, “So your love is only worth this much.”
No...He had no regrets.
Xie He slowly stood up from the sofa. His body was very weak; to suddenly stand up gave him a bout of vertigo, making him sway slightly. He then turned around and walked towards his room...With every step, his soul felt like it went further and further away from his body,
Xie He was pushed onto his and Zhou Yian’s bed. On that narrow bed, the couple had nestled there together day and night. Zhou Yian had held him in his arms and used a gentle voice to speak words of love that made him feel embarrassed to the point of feeling angry. Then the two people would fool around atop of the bed, before finally hugging each other tightly until the next morning.
This place...was full of Zhou Yian’s scent.
This place... was the secret garden that belonged to them.
But now, the one who pressed down onto him was another man, who had a callous appearance. He invaded him with a great force and engulfed him like a hurricane, destroying all of his beautiful memories.
When he was entered, he opened his vacant eyes wide, as if the pain from having his body torn apart did not make him forget how dirty he was. Instead, it seemed to remind him more severely of what exactly he was doing right now.
An indescribable feeling made Zhou Yizhe lose all patience. Without any preparation, Zhou Yizhe entered him, making the youth below him practically arch his back off of the mattress. An expression of great pain revealed itself on the youth’s face.
He normally was not this kind of cruel person in bed. But today, he only wished to ruthlessly bully the person below him, make him cry, make him beg for forgiveness, make it so that the only person he could see was him. He wanted to thoroughly own him, make him swear himself to him.
..........................................
“Do you like it?” Zhou Yizhe licked the youth’s earlobe and let out a deep, low laugh.
I don’t like it...Xie He pursed his lips. His throat overflowed with quiet moans, his gaze was vacant.
“Your body is telling me that you really like me,” Zhou Yizhe softly kissed the youth’s lips. “That’s good enough, because I also only like your body.”
Yes, since the beginning, what he couldn’t stop thinking about had only been his body.
