Saving the overbearing CEO

Chapter 100: Second World



Chapter 100: Second World

Wen Qinxi was woken up by a blinking notification flashing in front of him. He scrunched his eyes muddle headed with no awareness of where he was. After some great difficulty his heavy eyes managed to open half lidded but his surroundings were engulfed in total darkness with the flashing notification as the only source of light. Without giving it much thought he tapped on the screen only to be jolted fully awake by the celebratory music and digital fireworks with the words 'Congratulations for passing the First World' floating around the screen.

Wen Qinxi had been looking forward to this day for a long time daydreaming about it like a fool but right now he wasn't in a celebratory mood at all. His entire body felt weak and his muscles ached so much that he wanted to go back to sleep. To top it all off his head felt like it was being drilled by a sledgehammer. He couldn't recall much of last night's events which was a nuisance because his brain kept on telling him that he had forgotten something important. While probing his memory he finally remembered that annoying system so he called out to the troublesome Jolie.

"Jolie are you online?" he asked covering his eyes to block the light as they were sensitive to the bright celebratory screen.

"Oh, l was waiting for you to call me since you instructed me to go offline. By the way boss congratulations. Should l initiate the communication channel so Hei Bao and Xia Bai can congratulate you too?" inquired the system in a suspiciously friendly manner that gave Wen Qinxi a bad premonition but he was to lazy to deal with it.

"Sure, pass code qieranzheisajerk....fuck!" with the last part said as he abruptly sat up straight with wide eyes. The memories of last night's drunken exploits suddenly rushed in with his face changing color faster than a chameleon. From pale to flushed then flushed to ashen with his heart palpitating like he was about to have a heart attack.

"Shit, shit, shit.....l fuckin slept with Qie Ranzhe," he said burying his head in his arms in shame. His brazen actions were influenced by alcohol topped of with the effects of the drug enhancing his courage to indulge in his carnal desires but now that he was level headed he couldn't help but feel regretful.

He didn't know whether to wish Qie Ranzhe would or wouldn't remember all this when he wakes up. If he remembers then who knows what kind of reaction he would have. On the other hand if Qie Ranzhe didn't remember then wouldn't he be the only one affected by all this? He especially hated going through such a fucked up emotional rollercoaster like watching a Korean drama, laugh one minute cry the next. Like this, Wen Qinxi was too engrossed in his own thoughts that he didn't notice the tense atmosphere.

"Who the fuck slept with who?" asked Xia Bai thinking he had heard wrong. Surely it was time to get his ears professionally cleaned again because he was hearing things.

Hei Bao didn't utter a word nervously biting his nails at the thought of losing a year's worth of lunch money.

"Pay up suckers l won the fuckin bet. Not only did Qie Ranzhe get bent by Wen Qinxi they also had coitus," said the boastful system already seeing its dream companion.

"Bai-ge, what's coitus?" whispered Hei Bao at the brink of tears. He might not know what it meant but he could already tell it wasn't anything good. His lunch money was gone and he could only cry about it.

Xia Bai leaned in and replied, "Adult stuff," with his gaze fixed on Hei Bao's watery eyes. Hei Bao's aggressived sight made his chest tighten urging him to reach out and wipe his tear comforting him, "Don't worry, ge will take of you. Didn't you like the macaroons l made for you?' while creating an ambiguous atmosphere.

Hei Bao nodded saying, "Oh...wait huh?" with the last part said with an agape face instantly dispelling the ambiguous atmosphere enterly focused on the word 'coitus' again.

"That's right so pay up. A bet is a bet," said the system but the two voiced their greviences on how unfair the bet was and that the system deliberately left out some important information when it initiated the bet.

Their conversation was a jumbled up mess in Wen Qinxi''s head with his brain processing things slower but he soon caught up when his brain cells caught the words Qie Ranzhe, bent, coitus and bet.

"Shit! Were you three in on this together? Did you all know Qie Ranzhe liked me but didn't say anything?" he said wishing he could hit something to placate his anger.

The two men hurriedly denied having any knowledge of this directly pointing their fingers at the system. Jolie saw things were about to head south so it decided to sneakily go offline but who knew it would get caught in the next second.

"Xia Bai trap that system," said Wen Qinxi rolling up his sleeves as though preparing for a fight.

"With pleasure," replied Xia Bai with a roguish expression thrilled to exert revenge on the cunning system that made Bao Bao sad.

In a few key strokes, the system was dragged back online losing its privilege to come and go whenever it pleased. "Boss....you don't have to do this...l don't know anything. I am innocent plus you kissed him first," rambled the system in protest but it only made matters worse.

Wen Qinxi's ears flashed red recalling how he walked up to Qie Ranzhe and planted a kiss standing on his tippy toes. "You don't have to fuckin remind me my brain is doing a fine job at it," he said trying to suppress the memory. He didn't want the system reminding him of matters he desperately wanted to forget and hopefully free himself from an unforgettable embarrassment.

"No, l don't mean that. I am talking about before. You kissed him before," said the struggling system .

"Aiyo...Qi-ge l didn't know you had such a croqutteish side," teased Hei Bao. He couldn't help but thank the universe for executing revenge on his behalf. Everyone in the office had been teasingly pairing him and Xia Bai as a couple after the whole ink incident courtesy of Wen Qinxi's prank. Even though he mourned the loss of his lunch money he couldn't resist seizing the opportunity.

"Thats slander, l did no such thing," Wen Qinxi denied it while sifting through his memory. He really didn't do such a thing to Qie Ranzhe.

"Ah, you don't remember the beautiful mermaid you smooched after nearly drowning? The mermaid was your weird delusion but the kiss was real. Haha, boss you kissed Qie Ranzhe," said the system having such a blast at Wen Qinxi's expense.Wen Qinxi's horrified expression was simply priceless.
