Transmigrated into a Heartthrob Novel and Went OOC Chapter 101

Chapter 101

Just as he entered the adjacent room, Song Lianyi saw his two maids waiting outside.

The maids nodded to him, and he blinked in acknowledgment before stepping into the adjacent room next to him.

This room was quite unique, modified over two days by his subordinates. The wall between the two connected rooms was opened up, with a stained glass painting laid over it.

Stained glass painting was a type of magical artifact, usually used for intimate matters. Those with unique preferences enjoyed voyeurism, deriving pleasure from watching others.

Using magic was too easy to detect. Making a small hole in a window or wall wasn’t clear enough. Hence, this item came into existence.

It was unique—when viewed from the front, it appeared to be a stained glass painting, yet when viewed from behind, it was transparent, allowing one to clearly see through it to the other side.

But this wait had gone on for so long, nearly the time it took for an incense stick to burn.

Feeling increasingly suspicious, Fang Chaozhou couldn’t sit still any longer. He moved his foot off the nearby stool he had propped it on and was just about to stand up when he heard the sound of the door being pushed open.

Hearing the noise, Fang Chaozhou quickly sat back down, thinking that the person entering must be a woman. He pulled his foot back and covered it with his robe.

“Are my shoes clean?” he asked in a slightly raised voice.

There was no response, only the sound of approaching footsteps.

Fang Chaozhou saw a figure emerge from behind the hanging veil. Due to the layers of fabric, he could only discern the person’s silhouette but not their face.

Delicate jade fingers gently parted the veil, revealing a face with a myriad of charms.

Fang Chaozhou was taken aback when he unexpectedly saw an unfamiliar woman dressed in elegant clothing. He stood up involuntarily and asked, “Who are you?”

Upon hearing Fang Chaozhou’s question, Song Lianyi lowered his head and let out a soft chuckle before stepping behind the veil. “You don’t recognize who I am?”

Fang Chaozhou became even more perplexed. The tone of this conversation sounded strange, as if they knew each other.

“I don’t recognize you. Who are you?”

Song Lianyi chuckled once again, this time raising his head. “This is my true appearance. Take a good look.” He saw that Fang Chaozhou was still looking at him with confusion and the smile on his lips faded slightly. “Fang Chaozhou, don’t play dumb.”

Fang Chaozhou was stunned upon hearing this beautiful stranger call out his real name so suddenly. But soon, he said, “Did you mistake me for someone else? What Fang Chaozhou? I don’t know.”

“You’re trying to deceive me, but you’ll need a few hundred more years for that.” Song Lianyi’s patience waned. He took large strides toward Fang Chaozhou, who involuntarily stepped back a few paces. Fang Chaozhou quickly added, “Men and women shouldn’t be too close. Now, with a man and a woman alone in a room, it’s fine for me, but it would damage your reputation if this got out.”

Song Lianyi’s footsteps abruptly halted, his gaze fixed strangely on Fang Chaozhou. “You don’t recognize me?”

“I don’t recognize you. Who are you?” Fang Chaozhou hesitated as he asked. He had already posed this question three times, and with each repetition, his hesitation grew.

Song Lianyi stared intently at Fang Chaozhou, not missing any subtle changes in his expression. When he uttered the name “Fang Chaozhou,” the other man had clearly reacted. This proved that he hadn’t mistaken the person, but the way Fang Chaozhou looked at him was unfamiliar, as if they didn’t know each other at all.

Although Fang Chaozhou had never seen Song Lianyi’s true face, when he had turned into a puppet, he had used the face of his childhood. His appearance as a child was not significantly different from now; anyone could tell that it was the same person at a glance. Even if Fang Chaozhou were blind, he couldn’t have arrived here, heard these words, and not known that the person was Song Lianyi.

In an instant, Song Lianyi’s mind raced with numerous thoughts:

Why did Fang Chaozhou hide his identity?

Why did Fang Chaozhou sell the golden bell he had given him?

Why did Fang Chaozhou participate in this husband-selection event and end up in this room, looking so bewildered?

Why didn’t Fang Chaozhou recognize him?

One possibility surfaced in Song Lianyi’s mind.

Because of that possibility, his gaze shifted, and he had to lower his head to conceal his expression, preventing Fang Chaozhou from catching any clues.

Seeing the sudden appearance of this beautiful person lowering his head, Fang Chaozhou assumed that his words had been taken to heart. He was about to say a few more things when the person’s tear-filled eyes locked him in place.

“Fang Lang, you actually don’t recognize me? I am your Lianyi, your Yiyi. I’ve searched for you for five whole years, and you don’t recognize me?” With tearful eyes and an appearance as fragile as a blooming lotus, Song Lianyi’s expression could evoke pity in any man who saw it. Fang Chaozhou was petrified by this sight, his eyes filled with astonishment.

Why did she suddenly burst into tears?

What was this “Yiyi” to him?

Did they know each other?

Song Lianyi observed Fang Chaozhou’s expression, and his lips twitched slightly. However, he quickly masked his reaction, took out a handkerchief, stifled a sob, and then lunged towards Fang Chaozhou.

However, Fang Chaozhou swiftly sidestepped, evading him and leaving him lunging at empty air.

Not only did Song Lianyi’s lips twitch, but even his facial expression froze momentarily. However, who was Song Lianyi? When it came to disguises, hardly anyone could match his expertise. Thus, as he turned around, teardrops began to fall like raindrops, pitter-pattering down.

“Fang Lang, you’re actually avoiding me.” His cry was heartbroken, and his body trembled, as if he might collapse any moment.

Seeing this, Fang Chaozhou felt embarrassed and forced a smile. “I’m not avoiding you, I truly don’t recognize you.” He hesitated for a moment and then questioned, “Do you recognize me? What was the relationship between us before?”

Song Lianyi wiped away his tears with the handkerchief. “You’re asking about our relationship? I’ve been searching for you for five years, and now you’re saying you don’t recognize me.” He then produced an object. “If you don’t recognize me, at least you should recognize this. If you hadn’t sold our token of affection, I wouldn’t have known you had returned.”

In his palm was the golden bell.

Fang Chaozhou was left speechless upon seeing the golden bell. When he had woken up earlier, he found the golden bell on his foot and had asked brown chicken what it was. The brown chicken had mentioned that it was likely a gift from someone else.

Was the person before him that “someone else”?

Was this still their token of affection? Then… what about Xue Danrong? Brown chicken had clearly said that Xue Danrong was his lover.

Fang Chaozhou’s mind was in chaos. He hadn’t noticed Song Lianyi’s approach due to his confusion. By the time he realized it, Song Lianyi was already standing in front of him, tearful eyes gazing at him.

“Fang Lang, I’ve gone through so much hardship to find you.” With a coquettish sob, Fang Chaozhou felt a weight settle on his chest.

This weight froze Fang Chaozhou in place, preventing him from moving.

Once Song Lianyi successfully leaned into Fang Chaozhou’s embrace, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. However, he quickly resumed crying, and his crying was quite controlled. His eyes turned red, but his nose remained unaffected. In essence, he looked as beautiful while crying as ever.

“I’ve become so ugly over these five years searching for you. Now that I know you’re here, I’ve gone days without a good night’s sleep, fearing that you might disappear again.” Song Lianyi raised his head, and upon seeing the face so close to his, he wrinkled his brows in disdain and then coquettishly said, “I don’t like your face, Fang Lang. Change it back.”

Fang Chaozhou currently felt like he was entangled by a giant snake. As he listened to the snake’s words, he hesitated for a moment. He wanted to keep a strong front but then heard the other person softly speak.

“If you don’t change back, I’ll kiss you right now.”

As the words fell, Fang Chaozhou immediately dispelled the disguise technique.

When Song Lianyi saw Fang Chaozhou’s face after he removed the disguise, his pupils slightly contracted. His body began to tremble again, and unconsciously, he moved closer to Fang Chaozhou.

This involuntary action made Fang Chaozhou even more eager to avoid it.

One wanting to get closer, the other wanting to evade—Song Lianyi noticed that they were getting closer to the bed. His eyes brightened slightly, taking advantage of Fang Chaozhou’s focus on avoiding, he directly pressed him onto the bed.

He didn’t give Fang Chaozhou a chance to get up, instead, he moved closer himself.

Suddenly being pinned down on the bed, Fang Chaozhou, under the imminent threat of someone coming near, acted out of nervousness. He pushed forcefully and ended up pushing Song Lianyi to the ground.

After the push, he glanced at his own hands and immediately sat up, but it was already too late.

The beautiful person who had been pushed to the ground was crying as if they had just lost their partner, and there was no one to help raise their child.

“Um… I’m sorry, I… I’m not used to being so close to people,” Fang Chaozhou explained hesitantly, “I didn’t… I didn’t mean to push you.”

After his words, the tearful beautiful person turned her gaze to him, her eyes filled with grievances. She lightly bit her lip and half-extended her hand toward him.

“Fang, hold me. My foot seems to have twisted, it hurts so much.”
