Reborn As a System

Helli & Kleep

What…What kind of joke is this?!

Shi Qing’s eyes could not help but widen as he looked in amazement at Qin Mo.

Immediately after, he came back to his senses and fixed his expression. He laughed to himself in his heart for a while, but then he felt like his brain circuits were too strange.

Third brother was old enough to find a partner, so what’s he so surprised about?

What’s more, it’s not the first time their dad has tried to set up a blind date for Ye Mo. He’s already picked a few, and both Ye Xin and Ye Qing had long known about this.

Li Xia is the one Ye Xuan found most good-looking. Be it his background or upbringing, they were both quite good. Of course, the most important point was that Li Xia was a healthy and excellent Omega. To put it bluntly, his body was in good condition for childbirth.

Just that point alone filled old patriarch Ye with satisfaction. It was good that he’s fit for childbirth. The next generation of the Ye family had to be prosperous.

With that thought, Shi Qing felt that he shouldn’t be surprised. Not like it was a rare occurrence…

However, his heart just couldn’t help but go heheheheh, heheheh, heheh, heh!

Damnit! This doesn’t feel good! Super not good! Why, you ask? God knows!

After asking for the location, Qin Mo said to Shi Qing. “You must be hungry, right? Let’s go together.”

As if! All I can feel is heheheh! I’m full, thank you!

Shi Qing wanted to tell him he would stay with Ye Xin, but before he could say anything, Qin Mo dragged him off.

Only after getting into the flying vehicle did Shi Qing finally realize he had been kidnapped. Who wants to go to your blind date with you?! Bringing your little brother to a blind date, what, you need him to help check your date out for you or something? He’s not that free, okay! Who wants to go look at a man?!

You can go ask anyone to go, but that doesn’t have anything to do with me, okay?!

If it were under usual circumstances, then Qin Mo would long have realized Shi Qing’s thoughts. However, he had also been greatly impacted by everything.

Thinking of others? Such thoughts hadn’t appeared in his mind for hundreds of years. When exactly was it that he had begun to think so much of Shi Qing?

He actually changed his mind because of the other’s wishes, and tried to accommodate him subconsciously.

He had always known that he had to monopolize Shi Qing, but when did he start thinking that he wanted to try to understand him?

Truly, it had been a long time since he had experienced such emotions.

Yet, if it was Shi Qing, he could try it again.

Because they made a contract, because they only had each other, because if this person betrayed him, then he would have a reason to trap him in his arms forever. He had long forgotten how to let go. He only knew how to aggressively claim what was his.

Unconsciously, Qin Mo’s lips curved up into a soft smile. This smile that came from deep within his heart was especially dazzling.

If this was any other time, Shi Qing would be drooling at that sight, but the more he looked at it now, the more unhappy he felt.

So you’re that happy about the blind date, huh?

You’re really happy you’ll get your own Omega soon, huh?

Heheheh! Shouldn’t he, as the younger brother, give him his heartfelt blessings?

As if! Pisses him off! He didn’t even want to look at him! Who’s he trying to seduce with a smile like that? Scourge! Peacock! Demon! Baddie!

Shi Qing was getting more and more angry. The more he thought about it, the harder it was for him to hold himself back, but he couldn’t find anywhere to vent his anger.

Reason told him that he was being unreasonable. That was the biological older brother of his body, and a man to boot. What on earth was he thinking?

Even if he, Shi Qing, didn’t have a brother like Ye Mo, Ye Mo was still Ye Qing’s older brother. Now, he had become Ye Qing, so what could he do about it?

What’s more, they’d only known each other for one day. What had gotten into him for him to care so much about a person?

When he thought of that, Shi Qing felt like all of his energy was drained away. He was completely enveloped by frustration.

Qin Mo finally felt the grey clouds around Shi Qing. He turned around and took his hand, frowning lightly, “What’s wrong? Still worried over Ye Xin?” He had completely misunderstood.

Ye Qing was stunned, but he returned to his senses after a while. That was a good excuse that just so happened to conceal his nasty thoughts, so he simply nodded.

Qin Mo touched his delicate and fair neck affectionately and casually took him into his arms. He soothed his back and whispered, “Don’t worry. If you want to put him and Lin Su together, then I’ll make it happen, so don’t think too much about it. I’m here.”

Shi Qing couldn’t process what Qin Mo was saying at all. He just felt bad.

His neck itched, his back itched, but his heart even more so. He was being seduced by that sweet embrace and voice, and his heart was beating so fast that it could pop out of his chest. Intense feelings that he could never have even imagined began to pour out.

He liked him. God. He really did like him. No, it was more than just like.

This was someone he had only known for a day. Someone who shared the same blood as his body. Even so, he fell in love like a lunatic.

This…This…

Shi Qing’s brain completely stopped functioning.

It wasn’t until Qin Mo let him go that he finally regained his senses.

So what if he liked him? He was on the way to a blind date. He’s going to be discussing the big question with another person.

As long as the two of them clicked well during lunch, both in temper and chemistry, then they could fall in love and get married. Especially in this damned world where they could even have children.

With that thought, Shi Qing felt his chest tugging with pain.

He was going insane. He fell in love with a man, and on the same day, he was going to get his heart broken.

Was there anyone crazier than him in this world?

Shi Qing wilted.

He followed Qin mo into Zhijin Garden. It was an elite clubhouse, made unique through its imitation of ancient-style oriental gardens complete with pavilions, greenery, and an atmosphere filled with the air of spring.

The dining tables were also placed in the scenic spots. There were no private rooms, but the distance between each table was just right. It allowed a nice view for each table that looked and felt natural.

Each step they took felt like they were going back to those bygone years.

Unfortunately, Shi Qing wasn’t in the mood to admire the scenery at all. The flowers were blooming and the grass was green, but his heart was bitter.

Especially on the narrow and rugged path. For the totally distracted Shi Qing, it spelled disaster. He hobbled for a few steps and, without noticing, almost tripped and fell flat on his face.

Fortunately, his brother wasn’t an ordinary man. He instantly caught his waist and lifted him up sideways.

Shi Qing was stunned, and he immediately jumped down again as if he had been shocked by electricity.

Qin Mo didn’t mind. He touched him and said softly, “Be careful. Don’t think about Ye Xin’s matters anymore.”

Ye Qing nodded haphazardly, but Qin Mo wasn’t satisfied with that. He turned his small little face over to face him and threatened him, “If you keep thinking about Ye Xin, I’ll marry him off to Gu Yan.”

Shi Qing, “…” I really wasn’t thinking about him, I was thinking about you! You scourge! And you’re even seducing me?! QAQ!

Shi Qing felt bitter but he couldn’t voice it. He could only shy away with red cheeks. 

He solemnly declared to himself, he was determined to stop thinking about it. Definitely. He would accompany him on the blind date seriously.

With that, Qin Mo was finally satisfied. When he saw his red cheeks and moist lips, he felt the urge to kiss them. Fortunately, he still held onto his reason. It wasn’t convenient for them to do such things in broad daylight, given their current identities. It was better to wait until a bit later.

Walking along the winding road, they finally arrived at the predetermined place. After the two sat down, a young man soon came over as well.

He had fair white skin with black hair and black eyes. He had a slender build, but he was well-dressed. His mannerisms had a certain sense of leisure and elegance that seemed to be ingrained deep inside his bones.

He wasn’t too surprised to find that Ye Qing was there as well. He kept a smile on his face and introduced himself pleasantly, “Nice to meet you, my name is Li Xia.”

It was unavoidable that Shi Qing eyed the man with prejudice. Yet no matter what, the man seemed quite excellent. Even though he wasn’t as good-looking as Ye Xin, he was much more approachable.

By the looks of it, he wasn’t as chuuni as Ye Xin either.

All in all, he wasn’t so bad…Unfortunately, he really couldn’t feel happy about that.

Shi Qing greeted him in a somewhat grumpy mood, “Hello, I’m Ye Qing.”

Then, he sat down sullenly.

Li Xia was an Omega. A pure, well-bred Omega with a clean family background. Since it was supposed to be a matchmaking, he didn’t take any inhibitors. The air of an Omega spread over, the greatest temptation to an Alpha.

At the end of the day, he had to match the other’s taste. To that end, Li Xia was very confident.

Even if he wasn’t in heat, the scent he emitted would still be very alluring to any Alpha. That was his natural advantage, and he was going to use it to find himself an excellent Alpha.

Ye Mo was the ideal candidate for him. He wanted to hold on to that Alpha.

From the looks of it, Ye Mo was indeed attracted to him as well.

After being seated and ordering their meals, Ye Mo didn’t even eat a single bit of his food. He was focused on asking Li Xia questions, and Li Xia couldn’t help but feel a little complacent with his somewhat “eager” attitude. In addition, he couldn’t help himself from taking a serious look at that Alpha.

The third son of the Ye family was indeed a sight for sore eyes. The more he looked at him, the more Li Xia felt his heart beating.

A good Alpha indeed. Very charming.

Shi Qing, who was sitting at the side, felt like he was falling into a frozen abyss.

Even though he had just fallen out of love, looking straight at that “fiery” matchmaking exchange directly was truly a little hard to accept for Shi Qing!

Could you please not rub salt into his wound like that? He thought he was sad enough, why couldn’t he see the bottom of this bottomless sorrow pit?

Could you stop torturing people like this?

While his heart was stinging in pain, he also couldn’t help but feel angry at the same time.

Primal instincts were no joke. Alphas were creatures of desire after all, he couldn’t even peel his eyes off of that Omega! Just look at his brother!

Annoying! Annoying! Super annoying!

Shi Qing really couldn’t sit still anymore. If he stayed any longer, he was afraid that he might do something untoward.

Just think about it though. Why did he come along for someone else’s blind date? He was just asking for abuse!contemporary romance

It’s time to go. He really had to go right then.

Just as he was about to stand up, Qin Mo opened his mouth and threw out a bombshell.

“Very good. I understand, you are very excellent.”

Li Xia’s cheeks flushed slightly and he lowered his head bashfully.

Qin Mo picked up his chopsticks and placed a piece of braised ribs into Shi Qing’s bowl before continuing, “I believe Ye Zhen will be very pleased as well.”

Everyone in the room was stunned.

Ye Zhen? Ye Zhen was the second eldest son of the Ye family and was very well renowned. It was that Alpha who went on a mad chase after another Alpha.

What did this have to do with him?

Qin Mo raised his glass amiably. “I wish you and second brother a happy marriage in advance.”

Well folks, reality is here, and I’ve officially returned to work. I can’t remember what I’ve said about my job, but I’ve temporarily left my Public Health position to work in a local hospital again, so that means shift work! However, thanks to a very kind kofi donation, Helli and I are going to try our best to get some more frequent releases going. I’m sorry I can’t promise specifics, but know that I’ve acknowledged it hah.

In other news, I have a recommendation. I absolutely love cultivation novels. So much. There are quite a few I’m reading and loving, but one in particular I’d like to point you all towards. It’s called Let’s Talk About that Guy Who Transmigrated to Pursue Me. If you go to the translators twitter you’ll get a few chapters ahead. So far, the characters are so interesting, the story draws you in, and there are neat things like communication and mutual trust. The translation is somewhere around the halfway point so I don’t know what is coming of course.

A few other cultivation novels that may not have as many readers as others that I really enjoy, without the links are: White Cat’s Divine Scratching Post, The Villain has Something to Say, and Devil Venerable Also Wants to Know. I highly recommend all of them.

Hope you enjoyed watching Shi Qing chug vinegar.
