Chapter 1 Overbearing President’s Runaway Wife (1)
It was a bright and starry night.
In an abandoned warehouse in the suburbs, ten neatly dressed people in black gathered around, and between them, there was a young man with his hands tied behind his back. His body was bound to a tattered chair and his eyes were firmly blindfolded with a black cloth.
The surroundings were silent.
After a while, a clack-clack of leather shoes on the concrete floor came from not far away.
When the footsteps stopped, the people in black quickly divided into two rows into both sides, respectfully saluting, then said in unison, "Boss!"
The person they called boss was a middle-aged man with a knife scar on his face. He walked up to Qin Zerong and using the dagger in his hand, raised open the black cloth on Qin Zerong's eyes. "Young Qin, I truly apologize. My younger brothers do not have a good place to entertain you and had no choice but to bring your delicate, precious body to put up with this small and worn down place.”
He was the handsome overbearing president after all, even if at this moment, he was already a fish on the cutting board, he could still maintain his noble temperament.
Qin Zerong asked in a deep voice, "What do you think you’re doing?"
Scarface tilted his head and fiddling with the dagger in his hand, he replied, "I’m not going to do anything, I just hope that young Qin can stay here."
"You want my life?" Qin Zerong asked.
"We wouldn’t dare. If we take young mister Qin’s life, Elder Qin wouldn’t let us off with our lives. We just wish for you to stay in this little place for a while. Let’s wait after Mr. Qin writes down his will, then we will naturally send you back."
Qin Zerong figured out who planned this kidnapping after hearing Scarface's words. Hehe, his good uncle was really kind to him!
Qin Zerong asked again, " I disappeared without any cause nor reason. Do you guys think that my grandfather won't investigate this?"
Scarface raised his eyebrows. "Young mister Qin, how can you say that you’re missing? You’ll have to call Elder Qin to tell him that you’re safe and sound!"
"For what reason did you believe that I’ll obediently listen to you?"
"Since young Qin came over, we naturally prepared a method to make young Qin listen." After that, Scarface patted his chin twice and said, "Young Qin, see who that is?"
Qin Zerong heard his words and lifted his head. The dim light hit Qin Zerong's grave and stern face. He was expressionless, but the color of his face changed when he saw the person at the door.
"Xiyu!" Qin Zerong breathed out.
A hazy moonlight shone in from the door. Qin Zerong saw a girl in a camel-colored windbreaker roughly pushed in by a man. The girl's face was pale underneath the moonlight while her mouth was tightly sealed by a tape.
Bai Xiyu with his hands tied behind his back by someone, staggered a few steps, barely maintaining his balance before falling down. Raising his head and seeing Qin Zerong not far away, his eyes teared up, and desired to cry.
I'm really sorry, male lead, I'm holding you back. I originally wanted to come and give you a halo, but I didn't expect to get surrounded by them.
Bai Xiyu was pushed in front of Scarface who used his dagger to lift Bai Xiyu’s chin and chuckled. "Looks aren’t bad, no wonder young Qin treasures you."
Bai Xiyu made a muffled noise, none knew what he was saying.
Haha, thank you, but praising this daddy for looking pretty while he was wearing women’s clothing doesn’t make him very happy!
"You mustn’t touch her." Qin Zerong's voice wasn’t loud but was extremely firm.
"Whether we touch her or not would depend on young Qin’s attitude." Scarface pushed aside Bai Xiyu over to a black-clothed brother, He took out an old phone, and told Qin Zerong, "Give a call to your grandpa informing him that you’re safe, young Qin."
Scarface dialed on phone and brought it to Qin Zerong's ear. Before the call connected, he warned again, "You'd better not play any tricks, otherwise I can't guarantee that my little brother will do something!"
When Scarface said this, the black-clothed brother’s face wore a vulgar smile as he traced the collar of Bai Xiyu’s windbreaker and groped inside.
Bai Xiyu's expression instantly changed to alarm. He wanted to cry for help but he could only produce a muffled sound.
Fuck! Grope a fart! This father has a flat chest like you! There’s not a damn thing to touch!
Oh, I forgot you guys didn’t know that I was a handsome guy!
When Qin Zerong saw this scene, his eyes reddened at once. He really wanted to speak up, but he was stopped by Scarface.
Scarface said, "Don't worry. As long as you talk to Master Qin, we won't do anything to Miss Bai."
That’s fart! You wouldn’t be able to grope anything from this father’s chest!
"Flat-chested?" The black-clothed brother groped for a bit, his eyebrows wrinkling as his face filled with sincere disdain.
Yes, flat-chested, really sorry!
But immediately afterward, without their boss Scarface’s permission, the black-clothed brother secretly stretched his paws to Bai Xiyu’s bottom half!
Wait wait! Stop touching! You have something to say then let’s discuss it, brother! Aaaaaaah! Who the hell allowed you to touch my brother! ! Who the hell allowed you to touch my balls!!
This father's pure body…
The black-clothed brother’s expression was shocked after groping it. He then shouted to Scarface: "Boss, this is a fucking man!"
Ahaha, he’s discovered.
Bai Xiyu looking like living was worse than death, raised his gaze to Qin Zerong not far away whose eyes hid unknown emotions.
Oh yeah, it's over! The cinnabar mole will be turning into the mosquito blood before he encountered the white rose!(1)

Scarface also blanked out when he heard the news. He then knocked on the tattered chair Qin Zerong was sitting on and smiled. "Tsk tsk, I didn’t expect young Qin to have these inclinations. Crossdress play, huh~ "
.....
Silence.
Silence was tonight’s mayor of Nanjing Bridge.(2)
...
Qin Zerong pressed his lips tightly, head bowed looking down at the sparks of the cigarette butt underneath his feet. Scarface’s phone was still against his ear and hadn’t connected yet.
His heart was still in a mess, and for a moment, he unexpectedly had some doubts whether the results of the compromise he was making for Bai Xiyu was worth it or not.
How could Xiyu be a man?
He never thought that the Bai Xiyu he had known for three years would turn out to be a man. Just three days ago, he was still planning a grand confession ceremony, but now he found out that the girl he was in love with for a long time turned out to be male.
Bai Xiyu's heart was similarly broken. As the man who wanted to give the protagonists a halo, he had planned every step he would take before he came to this world, but he didn’t expect that this world’s cannon fodder wouldn’t play the conventional cards, even touching his brother first.

He just wanted to easily give him the halo!
The protagonist's halo allowed the protagonists to avert disasters every time they were in moments of life and death. However, given that the current villain’s IQ had somewhat improved and there wasn’t nonsensicality before killing the protagonist, the spirit of selfless dedication between the male and female was progressively approaching zero.
In order to prevent the protagonists from dying in the middle of the journey, the organization had no choice but to send the outstanding, unparalleled, talented, and peerless peak god Bai Xiyu to deal with these plots that were likely to become bugs in the dimensional world.
Of course, all of the attributes above should be added to Bai Xiyu himself and had nothing to do with the general features of the main character's halo.
The number of times the protagonist’s halo should appear doesn’t need to be too frequent. It was only needed when the male lead was at the end of the rope, the female lead was at the end of the rope, and also when the male and female lead were both at the end of the rope. But in the event that the protagonist courts death too much then that’s another matter.
Originally, Bai Xiyu planned to be the white moonlight in the male protagonist’s heart since he could give the halo while also pushing the development of the plot.
But now, Qin Zerong discovered ahead of time that this pure white moonlight of his dreams was a sesame seed coated-cake gnawed by a dog.
This heartache, can’t take the pain no more.
Translator Notes:
(1)Refers to “Marry a red rose and eventually she'll be a mosquito-blood streak smeared on the wall, while the white one is ‘moonlight in front of my bed.’ Marry a white rose, and before long she'll be a grain of sticky rice that's gotten stuck to your clothes; the red one, by then, is a scarlet beauty mark just over your heart.” from Eileen Chen’s Red Rose, White Rose. Red rose refers to the passionate one while white rose is the pure one and if you married either one, the other will be the one who got away (to my understanding).
