Heroic Death System Chapter 15-16

 ◊  ◊

Jian Chenfeng acted like he had not kissed for eight hundred years. He was acting like wolves and tigers, kissing Shang Ke so much that the other almost couldn't breath. Just when Shang Ke felt him withdraw a little, in the next second he had pressed down again, his tongue going even deeper. Shang Ke's brain was lacking a bit of oxygen and his body was firmly suppressed, so he could only let the other do as he wished.

Just when Shang Ke thought he was going to faint, Jian Chenfeng finally let go of him. Shang Ke lightly gasped for breath. His eyes were a bit misty and his swollen lips were slightly open and moist, like a cherry waiting to be picked.

Jian Chenfeng's eyes darkened as his fingers gently stroked those swollen lips, thinking of whether he should do it again. However, when he saw Shang Ke open his mouth to try to say something, he spoke in a low voice, "Shut up."

Shang Ke glared at him. This lord was s.e.xual hara.s.sed, and he told him to "shut up?"

Jian Chenfeng said in a deep and low voice, "If you dare to refuse me, I will do you now."

Shang Ke opened his mouth, but hadn't been able to say a single word before Jian Chenfeng interrupted him again, "Anything such as, 'I don't like men,' 'It is impossible for you and me,' 'I only like your younger sister,' and so on are not allowed. Otherwise, we can do everything love-related on this sofa, right now."

Were there still any of heaven's laws remaining! Did this b.a.s.t.a.r.d often watch romance movies, and memorize all the lines?! Wait, this wasn't the important part. The important part was, why couldn't he refuse? Besides those aforementioned words, what else could he say?

Jian Chenfeng looked at his expression, able to tell that he wanted to say something but didn't know to say it, and spoke again, "Jiang Yumo, listen well. You best not let me know that you still hold thoughts of exchanging your life for anyone. If you do anything out of bounds, I will immediately do you."

"……"

Jian Chenfeng stared at him without moving, as if he was just waiting for him to do something "out of bounds."

How could Shang Ke let him win? He choked on his words for a while before finally choking out a line, "I will resign tomorrow." He can't offend him, but that didn't mean that he can't avoid him.

"If you dare to resign I'll do you."

"I want to move out."

"If you dare to move out I'll also do you."

Shang Ke said angrily, "I'll go back home!"

"Then I will chase you to your home and do you."

Can you be anymore shameless? Shang Ke's asked in disbelief, "My parents and older brother are all at home, and you dare to cause trouble for me in front of them?"

"It's alright, it's just the perfect time to come out of the closet and establish our lover's relations.h.i.+p."

Shang Ke was shocked by his shamelessness, and responded, "Have you forgotten that I am a patient with a brain tumor?" Even if you don't cherish me, do you have to threaten me over and over again? You're a beast!

"Of course I haven't forgotten. It's you who doesn't care." Jian Chenfeng gazed deeply at him as he continued, "Rather than you dying on the operating table, you're better off dying on my bed, in my embrace, and under my body."

Shang Ke looked down, thinking for a while before throwing out two words, "Go away."

Jian Chenfeng stepped aside and pulled the other man into his embrace, one hand around his waist.

"It…" Shang Ke had just wanted to say "It's impossible for you and me" when he thought of Jian Chenfeng's threat and shut his mouth.

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Jian Chenfeng had said everything, so what could he say now?!

"Alright, don't think anymore." Jian Chenfeng rubbed his head and consoled him, "I'll schedule an operation for you next month, so just stay by my side honestly. You don't need to worry about my sister's condition, I will help her find a suitable heart."

Shang Ke couldn't help muttering in his heart. If a suitable heart is found by you, then what else am I supposed to use myself for? However, an operation would be quite a risk, and even if he didn't do anything, it didn't mean that the operation would be completely successful. Therefore, the plan could still continue, and in case the operation really is successful, then he can think of another way.

At the present time, settling Jian Chenfeng was more important. He didn't expect for this man to fall in love with him. Now that he thought about it, in the first world, Ravel's att.i.tude towards him was also a bit…

While Shang Ke was lost in thought, Jian Chenfeng landed another kiss another on his lips, and said, "Yumo, I will give you time to adapt. Just until the operation ends."

It's not that Jian Chenfeng didn't know about the operation's risks, but he just didn't dare to think about them. He will go find the world's finest brain specialist, and will not allow anything to happen.

The next day, Shang Ke, who had surrendered in face of the other's abuse of authority, still followed Jian Chenfeng to work.

After he got off work, he made a rich, nouris.h.i.+ng meal to give to Jian Xin in the hospital.

"Jiang Yumo?" When Jian Xin saw Shang Ke and the food he was carrying, she spoke unhappily, "I don't need you to send any food. I have everything here."

Jian Chenfeng pursed his brows and reprimanded her, "Xin'er, where are your manners?"

Jian Xin frowned, lowering her head and no longer speaking.

Shang Ke placed the lunchbox on the table and smiled, saying, "This is a nouris.h.i.+ng meal I personally made. I guarantee it's both delicious and nutritious."

Jian Chenfeng stood at the side, upset. The special treatment that he wished he could have was  disdained by Jian Xin.

"Where's Jiang Donglin?" Jian Chenfeng asked deliberately.

"He had a meeting today, but he's probably about to come." When Jiang Donglin was mentioned, Jian Xin's expression became completely different, warmth filling her eyes.

Jian Chenfeng peeked at Shang Ke, but unfortunately he could only see his back.

Just after speaking, Jiang Donglin walked in the room, and was a bit surprised when he saw Jian Chenfeng and Shang Ke. He immediately smiled and said, "You two also came."

He walked to Shang Ke's side and asked in concern, "Yumo, are you alright?"

Shang Ke faintly smiled as he responded, "I'm fine."

"Since Donglin is here, then we'll take our leave." Jian Chenfeng held Shang Ke's waist and pulled somewhat forcefully, taking him out with him.

"Xin'er, I will send them out and bring back some food for you." Jiang Dongling hadn't seen the lunchbox on the table and followed the two out.

When Jian Xin heard that he was going to bring food for her, she didn't mention the lunchbox to her. After they left, she picked up the lunchbox, planning to throw it away, but it was too large and conspicuous. She could only call for a cleaning aunt and tell her, "Help throw this away for me."

The aunt looked at this delicate lunchbox in confusion, muttering to herself as she left the sickroom.

Shang Ke was waiting for the elevator when he just so happened to turn his head and see that cleaning aunt carrying the lunchbox walk out from around the corner, throwing it into the trash can.

Jian Chenfeng also saw the scene, and anger bubbled up in his mind. Jiang Yumo had taken two entire hours to carefully prepare the nouris.h.i.+ng food in that lunchbox. He had only tasted two bites before being ruthlessly berated to stop. He didn't expect that his younger sister would just throw it away like that!

Although it was a good thing for Jian Chenfeng that Jian Xin didn't like Jiang Yumo, he didn't wish for Yumo to suffer any harm.

Jian Chenfeng looked at Yumo, only to see him staring at the trash can. On his handsome face was a faint trace of grief.

Jian Chenfeng tightly pursed his lips and was about to walk back.

Shang Ke hurriedly pulled him, questioning, "What are you doing?"

"She's too unreasonable!"

"It's alright, it's just some food." Although Shang Ke's face was clear like the wind, his heart was raging. The find food he had painstakingly made was wasted, just like that! They will definitely die with regrets!

Jiang Donglin looked at Jian Chenfeng's dark face and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jian Chenfeng glared at him and coldly said, "Jiang Donglin, my younger sister is very willful. Don't always let her have her way, and when she needs a lesson, give her a lesson.

"……" Wasn't it a certain someone who had pampered his younger sister beyond question? He actually urged someone else to give a lesson to his own treasured sister?

At this moment, the elevator had came up. Shang Ke immediately pulled Jian Chenfeng into the elevator and told Jiang Donglin, "Brother, take good care of Jian Xin. We'll leave first."

After the doors to the elevator closed, Shang Ke kept his head down, staring at his feet.

Jian Chenfeng really wanted to ask him, was doing so much for a person who didn't love him really worth it? She wasn't even grateful.

Shang Ke did not say a word on the way back. When they walked into their house, he suddenly shook off Jian Chenfeng's hand, rus.h.i.+ng to the bathroom like he was flying.

"Yumo!" Jian Chenfeng quickly followed him, only to see him retching in the sink. He worriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Shang Ke quickly washed up. His hair was wet and water droplets were dripping from his too transparently pale face. His eyes and brows drooped, while his shoulders were slightly heaving up and down. He gave off a sense of frail beauty.

"I just feel a bit nauseous. It's a normal reaction." Shang Ke waved his hand to tell him not to worry about it.

"Normal reaction?" Jian Chenfeng's face was gloomy as he asked, "Since how long ago?"

Shang Ke looked at him but didn't answer.

"Ever since your head was. .h.i.t?" Jian Chenfeng held his shoulders and angrily said, "Jiang Yumo, d.a.m.n you, when were you planning to tell me?"

"What is there to say about it?" Shang Ke shrugged his shoulders and spoke, "It won't do anything even if I say it."

Jian Chenfeng really wanted to throttle this b.a.s.t.a.r.d who didn't take his own life seriously.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the hospital for a check up."

"Wait," Shang Ke stopped him, "there's no need. This really is a normal reaction. Didn't you already arrange my operation? As long as the operation is successful, there's nothing to worry about. With you watching me, even if I wanted to die, I can't."

Jian Chenfeng took a deep breath before slowly saying, "I should just do you."

"!!!" Was there any connection with what we were talking about before?

Jian Chenfeng held him, burying his head into the other's neck as he lowly spoke, "Jiang Yumo, take it as me begging you, but cherish yourself." Jiang Chenfeng dared to compete with anyone. Gender, family background, and public opinion were all unable to prevent him from obtaining this man. But the one thing he couldn't win against was death.

"Give up on Jian Xin." Jian Chenfeng trapped him against the wall with his arms, his voice hoa.r.s.e as he said, "I suit you more than her."

Jian Chenfeng kissed him, pa.s.sionately taking the younger man as his hands explored under his clothes, caressing his skin. The burning sensation caused Shang Ke to feel a bit limp.

Shang Ke had to admit he was a bit touched by Jian Chenfeng's seriousness. However, he still found it hard to adapt to the man's affectionate care that was full of desire and strong encroachment. Moreover, he was doomed to "never die in peace." He really did not have the energy to deal with other emotions outside of his missions.

"Stop…" The man on his body was like a block of iron, burning Shang Ke until his entire body was feverish, and he became unable to move.

"Don't be afraid. I said that I would give you time to adapt." Fire lit in Jian Chenfeng's eyes as he spoke, "However, don't test my patience. So long as you have any kind of negative reaction, you have to tell me. If I find out that you hid something from me, then Jiang Yumo, you will be finished."

Under Jian Chenfeng's wary and strict gaze, Shang Ke heart-rendingly and tragically welcomed his operation. In this period of time, he had tried to fall off the stairs, slip on soap in the bathroom, fall from the bed to the floor… But reality proved that trying to hit the back of his head was also a skill. The places he injured when he fell were mostly his b.u.t.t and back; he would be injured all over but the back of his head survived until the day of the operation, even under his numerous "murder attempts".

Of course, he didn't forget to fight for his right to partic.i.p.ate in extreme sports, but the result was that he was caught and dragged back by Jian Chenfeng every time he escaped. It was as if he had placed an informer in every single club and didn't leave a single crack for him to squeeze through.

Despite all the things that Shang Ke had done, Jian Chenfeng was not suspicious of him at all. He only knew that Shang Ke's condition was becoming worse; not only would he frequently feel dizzy and have nausea, his limbs would also become numb and weak, even walking was difficult sometimes. Due to Shang Ke's worsening condition, Jian Chenfeng had simply moved into Shang Ke's room and personally attended to him with the utmost care.

Although he had a sharp tongue, when he took action, he was unexpectedly patient.

Shang Ke couldn't help but think that if he was a woman and had this kind of boyfriend, a life full of happiness and without any trouble would be such a simple thing. In the end, he also stopped torturing himself. If he died, he would just die, there was no need to torment the person by his side, he really couldn't bear to do that.

He could die, but those that cared for him would feel grief and be sad because over him. His mission was just his mission, Shang Ke didn't want to turn himself into a heartless madman who courted death.

On the day of the operation, the entire Jiang Family came, along with Jian Chenfeng and Jian Xin.

Shang Ke said to his parents, "Dad, mom, I want to say something to Jian Chenfeng alone."

Jiang father and mother gave a few looks to Jian Chenfeng, then left the sickroom worrying a bit.

After only they were left in the sickroom, Shang Ke started to speak.

"Jian Chenfeng, if anything happens to me…"

"Nothing unexpected will happen!" Jian Chenfeng half squatted by the bed and tightly gripped his hand and continued, "That is, as long as you don't suddenly s.n.a.t.c.h the doctor's operation knife during the operation and stab it into your own neck."

Shang Ke was speechless. "Anesthesia is used during the operation, just where will I have the energy to s.n.a.t.c.h the doctor's operation knife?"

Jian Chenfeng narrowed his eyes, "So if they didn't use anesthesia you really were going to s.n.a.t.c.h it?"

Shang Ke stopped talking. He wondered, was he really such a self-harming person in Jian Chenfeng's eyes? Alright, from other people's point of views, he really would look like someone who likes to harm himself…

At this moment, knocks came from the other side of the door. Jiang Donglin reminded from outside, "Yumo, your operation is about to start."

"I'll be done in a second," Shang Ke shouted outside and then said to Jian Chenfeng, "Jian Chenfeng, promise me, if the operation isn't successful, transplant my heart to Jian Xin. You know her situation is becoming worse."

"Can you not forget her for a moment?" Jian Chenfeng angrily gritted out, "I can feel that you aren't completely indifferent to me. Is it because we are both men that you don't wish to accept me? Jiang Yumo, after your operation, let's be together."

Shang Ke gazed at him, thousands of words seemed to be hidden in his eyes before he finally muttered, "Let's talk about that after the operation."

Jian Chenfeng's heart jumped suddenly. He didn't directly refuse, he really didn't directly refuse!

However, in the next moment, Shang Ke was pushed into the operation room by the doctor and nurses, and all the others could only wait outside patiently.

Jiang Donglin walked up to Jian Chenfeng, "Chenfeng, come with me for a minute."

The two men walked towards the window at the end of the corridor and Jiang Donglin asked, "What was that about the heart?"

"What?" Jian Chenfeng raised his head to look up at him,

"I vaguely heard you two mention something about a heart from outside the sickroom." Jiang Donglin inquired, "Is there something else Yumo is hiding from us?"

Jian Chenfeng looked out the window, faintly muttering, "This matter really shouldn't be hidden from you guys. Yumo, signed a heart donor agreement, donating his heart to Jian Xin."

Jiang Donglin became alarmed, "When was this?"

"From around the time when he found out about his brain tumor."

"What?" Jiang Donglin's face was completely in shock now, he didn't expect his younger brother to be hiding such an important thing from them. "Wait, you said from around when he found out about his brain tumor. He just signed the heart donor agreement like that?" If memory served him right, Yumo's condition worsening was all because of him. Before that, his situation was much more steady, the success rate of the operation was three times higher than the success rate now. Yet, he had already prepared to donate his heart even back then.

Jiang Donglin also thought of how Yumo not only did not tell him about his situation after he found out, he had also deliberately delayed the treatment. If it weren't for him accidently knocking his head against the wall, was he actually planning to keep delaying it?

Jiang Donglin's face turned ugly and he turned his head to the direction of the operation room, now with his face full of worry.

"He will definitely be fine," said Jian Chenfeng with a certain tone.

"Yes, he will surely be fine." Jiang Donglin closed his eyes and bitterly smiled, "Are you thinking right now that I, this older brother of his is really such a failure? I feel as if I never truly understood him."

He looked frivolous, yet his emotions ran so deeply. For Jian Xin, he would even throw away his life.

Jiang Donglin had always thought that he loved Jian Xin a lot, but compared to Yumo, just what level was he at? Yumo's illness worsened because of him, even his beloved woman was s.n.a.t.c.hed by him. According to his nature, he should be causing all sorts of trouble for him, yet he had been exceptionally calm so far. Now that he thought about it, he was afraid it was because Yumo had already made the decision to sacrifice himself, preparing to help him and Jian Xin get together happily. Meanwhile, he knew nothing about it.

If something unexpected really did happen to Yumo, how would he be able to stay together with Jian Xin with a clear conscience?

The operation continued for seven hours. When the operation light went out and the doctor declared the operation a success, everyone cried tears of joy. But the doctor specially reminded them to take care to not hit the patient's head as much as possible so that nothing new would come up.

Jian Chenfeng's mouth slightly curved up, revealing a long time not seen smile.

【Congratulations to Host for completing the main mission, from now on, Jiang Family will never suffer any retaliation from Jian Chenfeng and end up riding on the Jian Family's coattails to advance up the social ladder successfully.】

The main mission was completed? Within his hazy thoughts, he heard the System's voice. Why was it that the main mission was completed by him just doing an operation?

【With Host's situation, the operation failure rate percentage was at 80%. But this world's main character requested the number one brain specialist in the world for Host, so the operation success rate rose to 65%. In addition, with the help of Jian Chenfeng's main character halo (plot armor), Host's certain fate of death was fortunately turned around.】

Shang Ke: "……" So there really was such a fate defying thing like the main character halo.

【Host gloriously survived the main mission, so System shall present you two years of detained time. If Host completes two more near-death missions during this time and does not die, Host can choose to stay in the current world and live life freely without restrictions.】

Two years of detained time? Isn't that too long?

【Because this world is peaceful, the difficulty of having a heroic death is higher, so System specially gave more detained time to Host.】

Shang Ke: ….Should he say thank you?

【You’re welcome.】

d.a.m.n, it even used englis.h.!.+

Shang Ke: f.u.c.k off! (#‵′)凸 (English)

The next day, Shang Ke was sitting on the bed in a daze, holding a mirror.

Within the mirror was a bald man in bandages; the head was completely free of any hair and sort of empty, completely overturning his handsome looks. What happened to the Perfect Expression Package? Why isn't it doing anything now? It should at least consider giving his bald head a blinding light.

At this moment, Jian Chenfeng opened the door and walked in. When he saw Shang Ke solemnly staring at the mirror, he involuntarily smiled, "You don't need to look anymore, you're still very handsome."

Shang Ke gave him a glance of despise: So you say, but having it done is one other matter. If you have the ability, why don't you get a shaved head of your own now and let's see if your overbearing Director aura turns into a prisoner's.

"Do you wish for me to also shave and get a bald head?" Jian Chenfeng hooked up his lips, "As long as you say so, I will go have my head shaved right now."

Shang Ke put down the mirror and curled his lips in mirth, "Forget it, just one bald head is s.h.i.+ny enough, another one would be enough to blind."

"I brought some congee for you, drink it." Jian Chenfeng's expression was very gentle and his mood was obviously cheerful.

Shang Ke took the bowl and did not meet Jian Chenfeng's eyes, his heart was jumping.

Jian Chenfeng had clearly said to him before the operation, that after his operation, they should try being together. Although he did not give a direct reply, he also did not refuse. What should he do now?

If he refused, the next two years would make him sink into a complicated entanglement of feelings, playing out a "you love me but I love her" dog blood (melodramatic) program. Deceiving himself, yet also deceiving others.

If he agreed, then Shang Ke had to do his best to complete the two additional mission, then stay in this world and live freely with Jian Chenfeng. But Shang Ke did not have the confidence that he would survive the other two missions. Once he died, the harm to Jian Chenfeng would be even bigger.

This really is such a hard choice! Should he just abandon the additional missions and just look for a chance to die?

Forget it, let's play dead and see when thel System releases another additional mission.

Shang Ke held the bowl and started to concentrate on drinking his congee.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, Jiang Donglin was sitting by Jian Xin's side, quietly watching her eat, his expression dull.

"Dongling, what's wrong?" Jian Xin asked.

Jiang Donglin returned to his senses and replied, "Xin'er, my work is a bit busy lately. I might not have much time to accompany you."

"Ah? You can't come accompany me everyday anymore?"

Jiang Donglin silently nodded his head.

Jian Xin's face turned sad, and she gloomily said, "Then you should finish up work as quickly as possible. I'll wait for you every day."

"Hm." Jiang Donglin smiled, but his heart was heavy. When he found out just how deep Yumo's emotions ran for Xin'er, he had decided to withdraw. Whenever he thought of how Yumo would give up his life for Jian Xin, he was unable to interact with Jian Xin.

Although Jian Xin always carried bias against Yumo, once she gets to know just how much Yumo did for her, she would change her opinion of him immediately.

It's just that this wasn't the time to break up with her yet. Jian Xin's heart wasn't well and he didn't wanted to upset her. So Jiang Donglin decided to slowly drift apart from her.
