As the Minor Gay Love Rival in Het Novels

Chapter 8.8

When the two of them had just arrived home, a group of servants were waiting before the door, chiming in unison, “Congratulations Madam on your excellent achievements.”

The old housekeeper by the side was smiling so hard that his eyes were closed. He had taken care of Ivan Lawson since he was a child, so naturally, he hoped that everything would go well for him. He had wished hard, and finally after a long difficult time he managed to see his Master get married. However, husband and wife did not share the same room for a long time, making him extremely worried and anxious.

However, he also knew that Lawson did not like people who were weak, plus the Madam didn’t try to get on his good side, so he didn’t dare to try to persuade his Master even if he wanted. But now things were good. The Madam turned out to be very modest. Excluding his family background and appearance, his qualifications definitely weren’t a problem,. Now, Marshal should be able to peacefully pass his days.

In the best case scenario, Marshal would be able to forget General Steven Evans sooner.

Fan Yuan was completely unaware that the old housekeeper had broken his heart over him. When he heard everyone calling Yan Rui ‘Madam’, his ego was completely satisfied. He pulled Yan Rui forward with satisfaction, and naturally, Yan Rui cooperated with him by making a coquettish gesture as the two entered the house together.

That night, Yan Rui requested for his luggage to be moved into Fan Yuan’s bedroom. Half-loath and half-consenting, Fan Yuan consented to it. Fan Yuan was always a minor supporting actor anyway, these minor changes should have no impact on the main plot.

Moreover, he wanted Yan Rui to give birth to his baby, so they would have to live together in the future. Thus, it was better to move over earlier.

Having gotten his way, Yan Rui was in a good mood, but he didn’t forget that Fan Yuan was very particular regarding issues of superiority and inferiority, so he didn’t dare to be as unbridled as before. After taking a bath, he hugged Fan Yuan and wanted to head to bed after he did a bit of touching around to satiate his hunger. Little did he know that Fan Yuan was easily aroused by him, wriggling in his arms as he was unwilling to stop.

Yan Rui patted his white and tender little buttocks and said, “Be good, I used too much mental energy today. I need to rest early.”

Fan Yuan nodded in understanding, “It’s okay. Leave the physical labour to the husband. Madam, you can sleep at ease.”

Yan Rui: “……”

Fan Yuan undid his pajamas and touched Yan Rui’s sturdy chest with his claws, his gaze just like a hungry wolf. Yan Rui grabbed Fan Yuan’s claws and leaned towards Fan Yuan’s lips for a kiss, his voice gentle and soft, “Baby, the estrus is just a few days away. Bear with it a little more, mm?”

Fan Yuan hesitated for a moment. He felt that since he had made a promise before, it wasn’t very good to go back on his word now. All he could begrudgingly say was, “Alright then.”

Yan Rui let out a sigh of relief. In fact, that sentence was also said for himself to hear. His estrus was about to come so he had to resist and not give up one step away from success.

Fan Yuan snuggled around in Yan Rui’s embrace and found a comfortable position before gradually falling asleep. After he entered slumber, a certain someone stared at his face for the entire night.

Despite staying up all night, the Main God-daren still felt energetic. He felt that his wife was becoming more and more lovely, even liking his careless manner. This child had actually never doubted why his fate was always more remarkable than the rest though he was a mere supporting male lead amongst many of the same role.

His fingers ran gently across Fan Yuan’s cheek; this was a delicate face that held almost no flaws. But this was to be expected as he was the one who had drawn every curve and contour, stroke by stroke according to his own preferences.

Fan Yuan’s original appearance was beautiful to begin with, but he didn’t want to let that face be seen by others. Like this, things were just right. He could happily gaze at Fan Yuan’s face as a joy for the eyes, and as for those who cast greedy eyes on his man, they could all go die.

Xiao Wu who was silently watching this scene suddenly felt its hair slightly standing on end.

*******************

As the days went by, Fan Yuan’s grievance against Yan Rui became growingly intense. If it wasn’t for Yan Rui being a big pervert and sticking onto him on a daily basis at the beginning, would he have brought trouble upon himself by returning to the military headquarters in advance?

Fine, although it wasn’t that hard in the military headquarters, it was really boring, especially after he’d binged watched 100 episodes of “Alpha President Falling in Love with Me”, 200 episodes of “Magnificent Return of Abandoned Beta Wife” and 400 episodes of “Alpha Emperor Shao’s Contract Wife”. If he kept on watching, he was very worried about whether his IQ could return to a normal level!

“Ding, two days before when the female lead in “Contract Wife” was forced by the male lead’s mother to get an abortion, who knows who was sobbing like a silly B.”

Fan Yuan: “……”

See, he was already abnormal ah!

People who have been chasing dramas for many years would probably have a deep understanding of this. Whenever a show you’ve been chasing for a long time suddenly ushers in a big ending, you’re filled with a sense of loss after finishing it. Currently, Fan Yuan was in this precise state, and he urgently needed to find something to fill his emptiness and cold loneliness.

Of course, Yan Rui was the first choice. This scoundrel was relentlessly making achievements in school recently that even the military department had heard about, so he could probably be promoted directly after graduation. Fan Yuan wasn’t worried about this matter, but it was just that he was so busy, was it appropriate to bother him?

Though his thoughts drifted in that direction, his hands had zero hesitation as they speedily connected him to Yan Rui’s phone number. That’s right, he was just that wilful. Who let that guy be his wife? Hubby isn’t happy, of course he should accompany him!

Yan Rui quickly connected to the call, a smile completely evident from the space between his eyebrows as he said, “Miss me?”

Fan Yuan furrowed his brows, “Wrong, wrong, your lines aren’t right.”

Yan Rui raised his eyebrows but didn’t speak, waiting for Fan Yuan to continue.

Fan Yuan said, “You should say in a helpless tone, “Marshal-daren, what orders do you have?’”

Yan Rui’s lips twitched, and he couldn’t hold back as he burst in laughter. Meanwhile, Fan Yuan’s expression was slightly embarrassed and he murmured softly, “That’s what they do in the TV dramas. The male lead calls the female lead and the female lead asks, “President-daren, what orders do you have?’, and then the male lead will say……”

As he spoke on, his voice slowly reduced to nothing, while Yan Rui excitedly asked, “What does the male lead say?”

Fan Yuan looked away in an unnatural manner, refusing to look at the man on the screen as he slowly spoke, “The male lead says, ‘Nothing, I just miss you.’”

After a long time, Yan Rui’s deep and hoarse voice sounded over, “So, Marshal-daren is looking for me just to tease me?”

Fan Yuan’s cheeks were burning. In order to cover up his embarrassment, Fan Yuan went ‘hmph’ in a tsundere manner, “Foolish Omega, this Marshal couldn’t find anyone else, the fact that I set my eye on you is a blessing that you have accrued over many lifetimes. Don’t be ignorant of the happiness you have.”

After delivering that sentence smoothly, even Fan Yuan didn’t know what he just said. He simply heard Yan Rui speak in an extremely sincere manner, “Marshal-daren, watch less dog blood dramas in the future.”

Fan Yuan cut off the line in exasperation, feeling that his IQ had been seriously looked down upon. Now his mind was full of lines from TV dramas, it was already collapsing, okay!

Taking off his formal military uniform, Fan Yuan put on the black form-tight suit he typically used for training. The outline of his perfect figure without a trace of extra flesh was particularly sexy under this suit, and he strode into his exclusive training room and fought with the virtual enemy in the combat simulation cabin.

As evening came around and having fought several battles to his heart’s content, he climbed out of the cabin exhausted and finally forgot all the contents of the TV dramas.

But just as he took a few steps, he suddenly felt something wrong with his whole body, as if all his strength had been drained. Powerlessly, he slipped down against the wall and sat on the ground, before curling up slowly and letting out a cry as if something was difficult to endure.

This kind of feeling was very familiar. It was similar to that when he was given the aphrodisiac, but it was a hundred thousand times stronger than at that time. All he could feel was that breathing was difficult and his consciousness was slowly becoming blurred. It was like he was intensely eager for something, yet he couldn’t grab it. The feeling of helplessness was almost driving him crazy.

He glanced at the optical computer not too far away and wanted to ask Yan Rui for help, but his body wouldn’t move no matter how hard he tried. He carelessly fell on the ground and couldn’t hold back the low moan that came from him. As soon as that sound left his mouth, even he jumped in fright. Why did his own voice sound like a mating call……

“Xiao Wu, have I- been schemed against by someone……”

“Ding, Master, wait for a moment. The system is currently conducting a check on Master.”

Xiao Wu was also quite flustered. Logically speaking, the original host possessed a SSS level of physical and mental strength. He would never be secretly schemed against without being aware of it. On top of that, the current situation was getting so serious. Xiao Wu suddenly cried out in alarm.

Fan Yuan furrowed his brows and asked, “What’s the matter? Quickly tell me.”

Xiao Wu’s voice faltered as it spoke, “Master, Master’s body is rapidly secreting pheromones. It seems that……you are in estrus.”

“……”

Fan Yuan couldn’t be bothered to investigate the issue of why he had estrus though he was a beta. He promptly decided to immediately throw Xiao Wu into the little black room as he didn’t know what kind of behaviour he would show next. But undoubtedly, he didn’t want anyone to see it.

Fan Yuan’s body was wrapped by the tight training clothes, and within, the growing desire igniting through his body burned out what little was left of his sense of reason. His fingers subconsciously extended to his private parts, but because he couldn’t fully touch himself through the layer of cloth, he sobbed bitterly.

He lay on the ground and cried out softly, “Yan Rui……Yan Rui, help me……”

As soon as his voice fell, he was gently lifted up from the ground, the man’s voice defeated, “Three days early. I just looked away for a moment and something happened. Can’t you let me be at ease?”

Fan Yuan rubbed against his chest, his hoarse voice completely tainted with lust, “Yan Rui, I feel horrible.” Absolute seduction.

Yan Rui’s breath was a little unsteady and his heart seemed to have been lightly scratched by a cat’s paw. The pheromones in the house were too thick and strong that the sweet taste could practically turn the gods into beasts. Even if his mental strength had reached the level of that of the super race, he still felt a bit overwhelmed.

Calming down his breathing, he murmured lowly, “Thankfully we’re in the closed training room, otherwise the whole army headquarters would’ve turned into hell.”

Fan Yuan wrapped his arms around Yan Rui’s neck and left disorderly kisses all over his face. Fan Yuan’s expression carried a few touches of loss and helplessness, and his innocent expression pulled one further into the deep of degeneration.

Yan Rui’s eyes started to redden as he carried Fan Yuan into the rest cabin and quickly released the shackles on Fan Yuan’s body. Fan Yuan let out a comfortable sob, just like a kitten touched by its master. In defenseless surrender, he spread out his body and exposed all his intimate parts to Yan Rui.

However, Yan Rui didn’t rush to touch him and slowly asked instead, “Xiao Yuan, do you want me to hold you?”

Fan Yuan grabbed his palm and pressed it against his own chest, making it rubbed the red beans there as he replied impatiently, “Yes, yes I want you to, quickly.”

Yan Rui said, “But what about the bet from before? Men must have a sense of responsibility and can’t break promises, right?”

Fan Yuan slowly opened his eyes. The glistening water in his eyes was so beautiful that it caused one’s heart to break. He complained, feeling wronged, “You’re bullying me……”

His appearance was so pitiful that Yan Rui immediately took him in his arms and comforted him, but his words were still unyielding, “Yes, I’m bullying you.”

Their stalemate didn’t last for long before Fan Yuan gave up. He pulled Yan Rui’s hand to touch that part of his and he urged in a soft voice, “Hurry up, I feel horrible.”

Yan Rui asked, “Admitting defeat?”

Fan Yuan gave a stuffy “en“, and in the next moment, he was crushed by Yan Rui onto the bed. As if he had gone crazy, the man hugged him, kissed him and fiercely ran through him. It was obvious that he couldn’t control himself since early on, but had forcefully held himself back to talk terms with Fan Yuan.

Fan Yuan’s last trace of reason told him—he’d lost this battle of minds.

Beasts……

Also there was a really interesting discussion last chapter about gong/shou relations, I think so many of you gave such good points! I definitely agree that there is an inherent issue specifically in this arc about a bottom being perceived to be something that you can’t reveal – I cannot confirm if it’s because anything considered “feminine” is perceived as inferior. There’s definitely nothing wrong with being a bottom/top/switch, but you kind of see that YR and FY do mind it and it’s a toxic masculinity thing imo as Fan Yuan always likes talking about being a “real man“.

One point brought up by ferilisad was great as they talked about how some people don’t want to be penetrated or don’t see penetration as necessary for sexual intercourse. There is the possibility that YR might simply not want to be penetrated, but the author hasn’t really given any indication that this the case for him which makes me have doubts about it. Everything being said, the stereotypes or issues surfaced in MGLR might be influenced by the author’s own environment possibly? But I don’t want to assume especially since this story is her hard work embodied! ♥ Most importantly, we read our stories critically and discuss these things in the comments in a healthy manner which is nice
