Xi Nian was already holding on to the railing and was about to jump off. Hearing this, he paused unobservably, as if he was hesitating. Seeing this, the netizens were about to praise him for friendly sentiments toward his team, but Xi Nian said: ” …Then kill her, just don’t let her suffer too much.”
After speaking, he turned around neatly and jumped directly to the second floor.
Netizen: ??!!
Their expressions were as shocked as Qiao Zhi’s. When they realized it, they almost laughed their heads off. Kill it, then simply kill it! What the hell was the last sentence ‘just don’t make her hurt too much’ was it to appear gentle?!
[It was a mistake to call Father after all.]1Alternative translation: After all, Father paid the wrong amount. This line is used to express chilling and disappointment toward people. This line comes from the dialogue used by Zhen Huan in the drama The Legend of Zhen Huan (Empresses in the Palace, 2011) when she learns that the emperor regarded her as a substitute and says something like: The love and time of the past few years have been wrongly paid after all.
[Xi Nian not only has strong physical skills but also pays close attention to Qiao Zhi’s fear of pain. The most “gentle” male guest award in history will be awarded to Xi Nian, and no one should compete with him.]
[God damn it, don’t make her hurt too much hahaha! I’m almost moved to tears as an outsider, so touched, so touched! But Qiao Zhi didn’t dare to be moved!]
[I think this sentence can be shortlisted for the top ten love stories of the year, Xi Nian is really a warm man! I’m a fan, hahaha]
[Father’s love is like a landslide on the mountain, is there anyone who Knock2Shipping/Knocking. on ZhiNian CP? Suddenly I feel that this couple was really fucking powerful!]
[Knocking! Knocking! Knocking!]
Nian Gao refused in their hearts: No knocking, No knocking! Our Zǎi Zǎi was still young!
Qiao Zhi’s fans were unexpectedly enthusiastic: Knocking! Face matches, and character matches! Pressing the head to knock!
While netizens were following the drama, Lu Xingzhe certainly wouldn’t miss it. He lazily leaned on the sofa to watch the bullet screen, knocking melon seeds while chasing the drama, only to realize that the originally cheerful barrage suddenly burst into action. He squinted his eyes slightly and sat up with a crash.
Fuck, were both that fucking good to knock cp?!
Lu Xingzhe instantly felt that the melon seeds in his hand were not fragrant. He stared at the bullet screen for a long time, hoping that the poisonous fans of the two sides would come out quickly and dismantle the CP. But the result, the further the plot was pushed back, the more the CP’s were swiped, and in the end, the screen was full of pink colour.
Lu Xingzhe: “…”
Angered to death.
Xi Nian was taking a shower. As soon as he came out of the bathroom, he saw Lu Xingzhe lying motionless on the sofa, like a salted fish3Salted fish[xián yú] is a metaphor for a corpse, but can now mean people who have no intention of doing anything/ or are lazy as hell. that had lost his dream to live. He walked over and pushed his legs aside, then sat down, and casually asked, “What’s the matter?”
Lu Xingzhe didn’t want to talk, so he smacked the pillow secretly, and let Xi Nian see for himself.
Xi Nian looked at it subconsciously and saw that the episode had advanced to the undercover plot. Qiao Zhi tried her best to argue that she was not a traitor, but was choked to death by Xi Nian’s words, “I don’t think she really has the ability to deceive us”. The audience was full of laughter but there were also those who frantically used cp.
[I beg you, please tie a knot while you are at it hahaha! Only Xi Nian can control our family Ah Zhi]
[It’s really hard on our end if you don’t get married!]
[A talented man and a beautiful woman, pitying and harming each other, refusing to save in the face of death, a match made in heaven!]
Xi Nian understood it and wiped his hair with a towel, but he didn’t care much. These days, the paparazzi and the media have so many mouths to talk nonsense. They could talk about opening a room late at night when encountering someone in a hotel, and they could write about affectionate embraces when it would only be people talking on the street. Compared to all this, this was just a virtual CP.
Xi Nian deliberately pretended not to notice Lu Xingzhe’s small movements, and fell onto the sofa with a half-smile: “Oh, knocking on CP, what’s wrong?”
What’s wrong? You still wanted to ask what was wrong!
The alarm sounded in Lu Xingzhe’s heart, and he opened his eyes instantly: “You don’t really like that woman, do you?”
When he said this, he stared closely at Xi Nian, for fear of missing any subtle expression of the man. His eyes were dangerous and vigilant as if he was afraid that his belongings would be snatched away.
It had been a long time since Xi Nian had seen such sharp emotions in Lu Xingzhe.
I treat you so well, how could you look at others?
This was Lu Xingzhe’s idea, simple and straightforward like a child.
Xi Nian stopped teasing him: “I don’t like it at all.”
He dared to say that in front of that prodigal Qiao Zhi.
At this moment, a pink barrage suddenly floated across the screen: [Xi Nian didn’t have much conversation throughout the episode, but only responded like this when it came to Qiao Zhi. Does he have some old resentment or is he interested in her?]
Xi Nian: “…”
Lu Xingzhe also leaned over and asked, “Why?”
Xi Nian wondered to himself the reason for this. Perhaps, in his previous life, a poisonous tongue had been used to speak too much with Qiao Zhi. If one had to reach the bottom of his talkativeness when it came to her in this life, it could only be said that ridiculing the other party had become an instinct.
Xi Nian put it succinctly: “If resent it, then express it.”
Lu Xingzhe suddenly felt aggrieved: “You never resented me.”
Xi Nian: “…”
Very good, I have seen people looking for money, but this was the first time I have seen someone looking for resentment.
Lu Xingzhe was narrow-minded in the first place, and he even liked to watch bullet screens. It was obvious that he was just finding fault (trouble) on his own, so Xi Nian pulled him over to do something else.
He had just finished taking a shower, there were still faint vapors on his lapel, and his lips were icy cold. He wrapped his arms around Lu Xingzhe’s slender waist, first kissed his most sensitive earlobe, and then kissed along all the way to the smooth side of his face.
Lu Xingzhe trembled with itching and immediately grabbed Xi Nian’s neck, wanting to kiss him back, but was avoided by the latter.
Xi Nian pinched Lu Xingzhe’s chin and asked him, “Would I kiss Qiao Zhi like this?”
Of course not. In his previous life, Xi Nian had only lived like this with Lu Xingzhe…
But Lu Xingzhe didn’t know, he just pressed Xi Nian’s shoulders hard on the sofa, gasped and stared into his eyes, and said, “Fuck, you dare to kiss her!”
Xi Nian felt that he was not enlightened4[kāi qiào] Have one’s ideas straightened out/begin to understand/be enlightened., and he was too lazy to talk nonsense. He turned around and suppressed Lu Xingzhe, then made him half kneel on the sofa, leaning against his ear from behind, and calmly concluded, “I see, your brain is only as big as peanuts.”
Lu Xingzhe was about to say something when he heard the words, but because of the man’s sudden movement, he could only let out a muffled gasp. Therefore, the words he had just organized were smashed into pieces again and turned into groans of pain and joy between his lips.
The screen on the TV was still changing, flickering between bright and black colours. When Xi Nian took on the burden of taking things into his own hands, avoiding the evil ghosts and returned after getting the key chain5Admittedly, I was a bit lost here in translation. So my explanation here might not be true. The line was: 避开恶鬼原路返回去拿钥匙链的时候 which translates to [avoiding the evil ghosts and returned after getting the key chain]. According to my understanding and search, this refers to a famous Chinese adventure game (鬼影镇中文版), which is a bit like Tom’s Raider. In this game, players acquire a key to unlock the door, through the path which they travel is full of evil things/monsters. Returning with the key from this path may referred to here as safely avoiding the disaster and returning with triumph. Here, it might be in the context that Xi Nian safely avoided the wrath of Lu Xingzhe’s anger/jealousy and even got benefit (ahm) out of it., no one knocked the CP anymore but everyone was shouting 666.6The most commonly used meaning is to describe someone or something that is powerful, awesome or convincing. It was originally an abbreviation in the game. When people show extraordinary abilities, the audience also uses “666” to sigh.
Especially as the plot progressed, when he avoided the mental patient, jumped down the second floor with beautiful skill, and locked up Bai Yicheng, an undercover agent. All the people who called him Zai Zai before are gone, now all of them crazily flooded the screen with the word “husband.”
[Ah, ah, ah, groundhog screams7A meme was quite famous a while ago, in which a groundhog was standing on the hill and screaming loudly. This refers to that meme. ! I thought it was a death order, but it turned out to be a display of strength. What kind of immortal boy is Xi Nian? Ah! ]
[Husband, I want to give birth to a monkey for you!!]
[I thought he and Qiao Zhi were bound to die, but I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect it, absolutely, he saved a whole group of people!]
[I’ve changed my mind, I’m not going to knock CP anymore, my husband is mine and no one can steal him!]
[Suddenly became a fan of Xi Nian, he’s reliable and smart. Ah, my boyfriend is so powerful, so my legs are weak, and the only person in the program who turned the tide and saved everyone.]
#Inexplicably harvested a large number of wife fans#
Lu Xingzhe felt like a fucking dog in his heart, he felt that Xi Nian was deliberately trying to kill him. While adjusting his figure to facilitate his movements, Lu Xingzhe’s eyes were red, and he trembled and cursed: “Fuck, can’t you go back to bed?”
What responded to him was Xi Nian’s hoarse and short response: “No.”
This notorious paparazzi was nearly tossed to death by Xi Nian on the sofa, but his once empty heart was unknowingly filled with some unknown emotion.
Lu Xingzhe was lying on Xi Nian’s body, his hair was soaked in sweat, and his eyes were smouldering with lust. He kissed the man’s chiselled profile once in a while and then left dense hickey marks on his collarbone to balance things out a bit.
The husband(Xi Nian) was his husband, and when the star-chasing girls called him husband across the computer, he (Lu Xingzhe) had already slept with him.
Thinking this way, Lu Xingzhe unconsciously rubbed against Xi Nian, and when the man looked over, he leaned over and gave an ambiguous kiss. Lu Xingzhe curled his lips proudly, and seduced him with the rest of his breath: “Next time, kissing me will also be enough…”
No one was more compatible than the two of them.
For the first time, Xi Nian felt that Lu Xingzhe’s complacent and proud expression was not so annoying, and even a little cute. He touched Lu Xingzhe’s leg unconsciously, which was no longer lame like it was in the previous life. When he looked back at his journey in this life, unexpectedly, he was also clean as a pin.8In other words, did not do anything corrupt/wrong.
Xi Nian couldn’t tell if this change was good, but it wasn’t bad after all.
After a night of rise in discussion, the show had reached Weibo’s hot top searches the next day. The top three topics were all topics about the Decoding of the Chamber of Secrets, and the names of Xi Nian and Qiao Zhi were clearly listed on it.
#Decoding Chamber of Secrets Start Broadcast#
#Xi Nian and Qiao Zhi; Father and Daughter Deep Love#
#Deconding Chamber of Secrets; All members escaped successfully#
Many melon-eating people saw the trending search, and the first reaction was a black face with a question mark. What the hell was the deep love between father and daughter? Do they also have such a subtle relationship? Wasn’t it a bit bewildering?!
Those who followed the show last night expressed that they were already laughing like crazy, and telling people everywhere: I beg you to watch the latest issue of “Decoding the Chamber of Secrets” after I finished watching, I laughed so hard that my face collapsed.
The fast-handed star-chaser girl had already cut out a short video9The word used here was 了鬼畜, which refers to a short video type that can be often seen cut out from a preexisting source material. This type of video uses highly synchronized, rapidly repeating material with BGM rhythm and ghost-like twitching to achieve brainwashing or joyful effects, or through the video (or audio) editing, a type of video that combines extremely frequent repetitive images (or sounds) with a rhythm and a very high synchronization rate between audio and video. , she contrasted the friendship of the other two teams, highlighting the cold-blooded and ruthless team of Xi Nian and Qiao Zhi, especially when the two escaped and hid in the classroom. The phrase “I’ll run first, you cover from behind”, made people laugh until they died every minute.
There were too many attractions to watch in this episode, and the editors had their own unique tricks, even the CP girls did not fall behind, and they turned the horror variety show into a mix of love videos of life and death.
The handsome men and beautiful women, coupled with affectionate BGM and movie colour schemes, stunned many people when Xi Nian. Especially, when Xi Nian prepares to jump off the second floor.
The barren high-rise building, the dim sky, the man looked back, the wind lifted the corner of his clothes, a pair of deep eyes clearly reflected the woman’s face, handsome and indifferent, even if it was ruthless, it was touching——
[…Then kill her, just don’t let her suffer too much.]
The netizen first looked at it with both hands holding their hearts, and couldn’t help but be suffocated by the handsomeness. Upon hearing the last sentence, they immediately burst into action and said: [Haha, please shut up, don’t make us laugh out loud!].
[Wanting to know Qiao Zhi’s psychological shadow.]
Although Lu Xingzhe expected that Xi Nian’s popularity would rise more or less after the show was broadcast, he did not expect such a big battle. Overnight, edited videos about Xi Nian sprung up like mushrooms after rain. Few people went straight into the pit and regarded him as their destiny, and even their past experiences were picked out one after another.

T/N: Let me tell you guys the reason for such late update. Please know that it takes a lot of time to mtl this novel, there is so much use of jargon and idioms. And I have to search and search a lot to get the meaning right, then understand it according to the context. It literally takes hours (about 4-6) to translate one damn chapter. And yeah, I was a bit annoyed for translating the same thing again and again. Because of this, I realized I am losing interest in translating this novel. So, um, heads-up if you don’t see any update in the future at all.
