Chapter 1
“Alright, then it’s settled. Tomorrow I’ll go home with you to get your stuff.” Huh? Pei Qingjian blinked, startled for […]
Pei Qingjian finds himself transmigrated—into the body of the short-lived CEO Lan Xingchen’s newly hired “canary” in the story, just after signing a contract and before officially starting work.
Pei Qingjian thinks: …Who in their right mind supports a canary?
He glances down and sees the contract clearly stating the price: five million.
Pei Qingjian: Damn! No wonder he said this big shot in front of him is so handsome! Alright, fine, rich daddy, no problem, rich daddy.
And so:
Lan Xingchen has a sensitive stomach—Pei Qingjian personally cooks for him.
When Lan Xingchen goes out, Pei Qingjian is obedient and sweet.
Even when Lan Xingchen wants to “explore the mysteries of life” with him, Pei Qingjian does not refuse.
Lan Xingchen’s friends and family are envious: “Handsome and treats you well? Xingchen, you’re so lucky!”
Lan Xingchen agrees wholeheartedly. He thinks, “He’s so attentive… he must really love me! If we separate, I’ll be devastated!”
Sure enough, one year later, the contract ends.
Lan Xingchen notices Pei Qingjian seems troubled, several times trying to say something but holding back.
He loves me this much, must be unwilling to leave but too shy to say it… this humble, heart-wrenching love! My little canary is so adorable!
Lan Xingchen decides to give his little canary an official boyfriend status:
“Do you have something to tell me?” he asks. “Say it, I’ll agree to anything.”
Pei Qingjian, excited after a year of hard work and earning money, thinking about travel plans: ???
Lan Xingchen: “I’ve noticed you’ve been in a bad mood these past few days.”
Pei Qingjian: Oh, that… how should I tell you, my dear rich daddy… your life is almost up.
Lan Xingchen: “So don’t stress.”
Pei Qingjian: Sigh… why did someone so fine have to die young?
Lan Xingchen: “Say it boldly.”
Pei Qingjian: “They say the temple in Chengnan is very effective—maybe go pray there if you have time.”
Lan Xingchen: ???
Later, Pei Qingjian is surprised to find Lan Xingchen hasn’t died at 26, as the book said.
Not only that—Lan Xingchen corners him at the door, pressing him against the wall.
Pei Qingjian: ??? Is this… like a CEO romance wall-kiss scene? Okay, I can do this!
He diligently wraps his arms around Lan Xingchen’s neck and kisses him.
Lan Xingchen: !!!
Pei Qingjian: “After-sales service, one free, after three times, extra charge~”
Lan Xingchen: …
Lan Xingchen pulls him into the room: “Charge? I’ll pay you for life.”
Pei Qingjian: ??? A lifetime? That’s overkill!
Afterwards, wrapped in a blanket, Pei Qingjian reflects: “I thought we had a purely transactional relationship—you pay, I perform, done.”
Lan Xingchen hugs his waist: “…maybe you could change the last four words.”
“For example?”
“Paid romance.”
“Alright, then it’s settled. Tomorrow I’ll go home with you to get your stuff.” Huh? Pei Qingjian blinked, startled for […]
One shower later, Pei Qingjian felt utterly defeated. Even when Lan Xingchen reminded him that the bathrobe was in the
All night, Pei Qingjian’s emotions had been complicated, whereas Lan Xingchen’s were much simpler. He just felt that he truly
Lan Xingchen turned, blocking Pei Qingjian’s view. Pei Qingjian: ??? What is he doing? “Get in the car.” Lan Xingchen
Pei Qingjian: !!! Pei Qingjian: ??? What did he just hear? What do you mean I’m his man?! Pei Qingjian
Pei Qingjian rummaged through his memories for a long time and finally remembered where the IOU was. He went into
Lan Xingchen barely slept all night—partly because he was still fired up, partly because he was worried about how to
Fang Junhao probed: [Little Pei, is he really good-looking?] Lan Xingchen nodded: [Of course, and obedient too.] Tsk, there it
Lan Xingchen watched in disbelief as Pei Qingjian, in the blink of an eye, returned the 600-yuan red packet he
Pei Qingjian: … Pei Qingjian felt his face heat up as Lan Xingchen’s boldness left him flustered. His eyelashes trembled;
The next moment, Lan Xingchen scooped him up and placed him gently on the bed. Pei Qingjian: ??? What’s going
The next morning, Pei Qingjian woke first. He carefully slipped out of Lan Xingchen’s embrace, tiptoeing off the bed, washed
“What did he say?” “He said we’re friends.” Pei Qingjian nodded. “Then we’re friends.” “Then we are?” Zhou Pengyue enunciated
In the end, Pei Qingjian didn’t let Lan Xingchen fry the boxes himself. The reason was simple—hot oil is dangerous,
The “fox spirit” told him not to cook dinner today—they’d eat out, and they’d get Geng Wang to return the
Silence filled the booth, with Geng Wangqi frozen on the sofa, and everyone else watching the spectacle. Silent, silent—the silence
Pei Qingjian felt a sudden warmth in his ears. He instinctively rubbed them and shook his head. Of course, back
After chatting with Chen Xuanting, Pei Qingjian replied to a few more people and finally posted a notice: “Temporarily not
Seeing Lin Xingchen agree, Pei Qingjian relaxed. “Then if you have late work at night, I’ll bring you dinner too,”
“Hello,” Pei Qingjian smiled faintly, as if nothing had happened, looking at the men before him. Xu Jianian smiled slightly
