Chapter 2284: Love and Chaos System Grand Battle 08

Morning light streamed through the floor-to-ceiling window onto the long table, and that teaching product finally arrived on the table.

Jin Chen leisurely cut open the soft-boiled egg, actually……

He didn't dare to put it in his mouth.

But since his wife made it, he had to eat it even if it didn't look good.

You Le'an took advantage of Jin Chen lowering his head to eat, quickly slipped into the living room, grabbed the maid auntie who was wiping the vase, and lowered his voice: 'Zhang Ma, help me with this……'

He pointed to the insulated bag hidden in the entryway, inside were charred bread slices and a suspicious fried egg, 'Send it to next door Zhou Du's place, the faster the better!'

Zhang Ma looked bewildered, but still nodded: 'Okay, Young Master You.'

You Le'an returned to the dining table as if nothing had happened, obediently sitting opposite Jin Chen, propping his chin to watch him eat elegantly.

Lin Xi sat to the side, his long fingers turning the sheet music, occasionally sipping milk, and occasionally glancing up at You Le'an and his brother.

You Le'an frantically poked the system in his mind: 〖Mission not completed yet? Zhou Du should have eaten my breakfast by now, right? 〗

The system let out a sound, 〖Detected that target Zhou Du had consumed breakfast, but the source was not the mission participant. 〗

〖The protagonist's lover had already taken a step ahead…… oh, unlucky host. 〗

You Le'an: ……?

The villain was puzzled, the villain did not understand.

He suddenly turned his head toward Lin Xi, lowered his voice and asked: 'Brother Lin Xi, did you deliver food to Zhou Du?'

Lin Xi averted his gaze from the sheet music, looking at You Le'an's shocked expression, 'Yeah.'

You Le'an widened his eyes, 'Then what about the portion I ate?'

Lin Xi leisurely raised two fingers, the corner of his mouth slightly upturned, 'I made two portions.'

＜Yeah, didn't starve the villain, survived successfully！＞

You Le'an was about to go crazy, '…but you didn't go out.'

Lin Xi blinked innocently: 'His family's maid came to pick it up, the piano competition is coming up soon, I don't want to catch a heavy cold.'

You Le'an: ……

Turns out you're still quite sensible!

In other words, Zhou Du basically didn't eat his dark cuisine.

The mission wasn't completed, what was the point of getting up so early?

Across the table, Jin Chen continued to eat leisurely, a sight pleasing to the eye.

You Le'an continued to stare with his chin propped up; probably his gaze was too scorching, Jin Chen took a moment to reach out and ruffle his curls again.

……Never mind.

At least the deep-emotion male supporting character got to eat it, so it wasn't that bad.

You Le'an thought, his ears turning red.

【Detected Villain Heartthrob Value +5, total 12!】

【Detected Villain Heartthrob Blackening Value +2, total 10!】

Ling Gun Gun perched on Jin Chen's ear, 【You guessed right, the protagonist attacker just ate that dark cuisine, and the Main God's Blackening Value rose!】

Could the Main God's mission be to intend to kill both protagonists?

How terrifying!

〖Today's Villain Value 2/10! Unexpected gain~ the protagonist attacker tasted a bite of your cuisine, felt nauseous and vomited oh, truly a vicious move. 〗

You Le'an: ……

I really am a chosen villain.

——

That day.

Jin Chen received the cruise invitation sent to the Jin Family, accepted by the butler, personally delivered to Jin Chen's hands, while You Le'an and Lin Xi were sitting on the sofa.

Each person had their own thoughts.

As an important plot point, many things could happen on the cruise.

Jin Chen lifted his eyelids to look over.

His big villain clutched the cushion's tassel, expression complex, also furrowed brows and sighed, appearing to have encountered something very troublesome.

The cheap protagonist younger brother occasionally took a breath, already deep in some frightening imagination, and shifted his butt farther away from You Le'an, looking like he was about to fall off the sofa.

Jin Chen spoke up in time, his knuckles tapping the sofa edge, 'Want to go play?'

The two who seemed unwilling both said in unison, 'Want!'

Afterwards, they exchanged a glance without a trace.

The protagonist/villain were indeed already impatient!

Not long after, Zhou Du came by again, 'You've received the invitation, right? Let's go together then.'

The three on the sofa again cast the same complex glance.

The protagonist attacker was also very impatient.

Zhou Du:?

Zhou Du cautiously stepped back half a step, 'My cold has already healed, I won't be contagious.'

Jin Chen hurriedly stopped his topic: 'Come in.'

Speaking of this……

You Le'an again recalled that Jin Chen basically never had a cold.

He scratched the tassel nervously, shooting a condemning gaze, getting a free meal, the deep-emotion male supporting character.

Bad stuff.

Jin Chen keenly noticed the look, and without changing his expression, he elbowed Zhou Du, who was trying to provoke conversation, then took two chocolates from the drawer and placed them in You Le'an's palm, casually scratching his palm.

"How about inviting Young Master You to be my escort at the cruise banquet?"

You Le'an pursed his lips, shoved the chocolate into his pocket, and lifted his chin in a tsundere way.

"Alright~"

Well, I don't really want to agree either.

After five days of You Le'an constantly stirring trouble, the seven-day cruise trip arrived.

The butler had already sent over the luggage they needed, and to keep his three young masters in the most elegant state, he even had the kitchen prepare light meals three days in advance and delivered the formal attire half a day before departure.

As a result, including Zhou Du, none of the four young masters wore formal attire.

Although the Zhou and Jin families' stature and their poor rapport with the cruise host—almost like half‑enemies—meant wearing formal attire wasn't required.

You Le'an got into the car, poked Jin Chen's shoulder, and said, "The old butler seems to have thanked someone."

Jin Chen glanced over and asked, "Thanked whom?"

The mixed‑blood young master held a kindergarten‑style bouquet, swaying his fingertips, and said, "The flowers have wilted, limp and droopy."

Jin Chen: "……"

What impressive language skills.

He pressed the flower down, saying, "It's just an occupational habit of butlers trying to outdo each other—no need to worry."

——

The crystal lights on the cruise bathed the banquet hall in daylight‑like brightness, and the sparkling shards from the champagne tower fell on everyone's hems.

All the invited young nobles and ladies speculated about what it meant that the Jin family was also on the guest list.

Could it be that the Xie family decided to renew friendly relations with the Jin family?

Unlikely.

With speculative thoughts, almost as soon as Jin Chen and his three companions entered, the guests all turned their gazes toward them.

Even Zhang Gongzi is here!

That day's exploits at the club spread tenfold, then a hundredfold; though You Le'an himself had not yet revealed his identity, his fame had already spread far and wide in the circle.

Jin Chen held a champagne glass, poised and handsome, his face peerlessly handsome. You Le'an stood beside him, his light‑blue shirt making his skin look exceptionally fair; the mixed‑blood youth's pale lashes were almost transparent in the light, trembling slightly with his smile.

Xi Lan stood not far away, his fingers gripping the champagne glass tensely.

He hadn't expected that after a brief trip to South Africa to oversee a project's progress, upon returning home Jin Chen would have acquired another companion.

The youth habitually tilted his head toward Jin Chen when speaking; when he smiled, the corners of his eyes lifted slightly, and the small dimple indented in his cheek was sweetly radiant.

Xi Lan had seen Jin Chen drive opponents into a corner at the negotiating table, and had seen him nonchalantly fend off dissenters in the boardroom, but he had never seen him like this.

Allowing a youth's fingertips to stir at his collar, the indulgence flickering in his eyes was even more obvious than the bubbles in his champagne.

You Le'an idly fiddled with his stubbornly untied tie, his fingertips twirling the silk.

Jin Chen handed him a drink, when suddenly a shadow fell before them.
