After Transmigrating, I Saved the Saintly Male Lead
o0o
The room door suddenly opened from the outside.
Gu Han Zhou pushed open the door and asked doubtfully, "Ge, why did you leave so suddenly just now?"
"Noth-nothing." Ji An Che curled up in the cold corner, his face slightly flushed.
"Ge, why are you sitting on the floor? Be careful of catching a cold." Gu Han Zhou walked towards him, bending down to try to pull Ji An Che up from the ground.
Ji An Che, with the help of the male lead, managed to stand up from the corner.
"Gege suddenly pushed me away."
Gu Han Zhou sadly lowered his eyes, his voice hoarse, "So Gege still doesn't like me, doesn't like me getting close."
"I know, no one will like someone like me."
Thinking of the male lead's tragic past, Ji An Che hurriedly retorted with heartache, "I don't dislike you!"
"I just ran out to wash my hands."
Ji An Che tucked his hands behind his back, telling a clumsy lie, "Because I accidentally got my hands dirty."
Gu Han Zhou pressed him against the wall, leaning in to hug his waist.
Warm breath sprayed on his neck.
Ji An Che's whole body began to feel hot.
Even though Gu Han Zhou hadn't done anything yet, just lightly hugging him, an unexplored area was presented before Ji An Che. He wasn't used to such an intense feeling. It was as if his feet were on thin, brittle ice, with unfamiliar undercurrents surging beneath. His back pressed against the cold wall, the cold and heat alternately spreading.
Ji An Che's body was like a bow stretched to its limit, desperately wanting to push away the person in front of him and escape.
As long as he reached out and pushed the person away, everything would end immediately.
If it were in the past, he would have pushed him away without hesitation. This level of intimacy had completely exceeded his limit, almost like a couple.
However, since he had personally heard about Gu Han Zhou's tragic childhood, he couldn't bring himself to push Gu Han Zhou away.
The male lead was already so pitiful.
Abandoned by his biological father at birth, he grew up with difficulty under his mother's domestic abuse.
Surrounded by sinister malice, the pure and innocent boy grew into the best version of himself.
Ji An Che looked up at the young man in front of him.
He didn't want to make Xiao Zhou sad.
If doing this could give Xiao Zhou a sense of security.
He would just endure this strange feeling a little, it's nothing.

Outside, the sky had completely darkened, and the Milky Way spread like a ribbon.
Ji An Che looked at the brilliant night view outside the window.
The sound of firecrackers reached his ears, fireworks swiftly rising from the night sky, exploding into brilliant fireworks. The excitement and unrestrained extravagance spread, blooming into bizarre and gorgeous flowers.
Finally calming his racing heart, Ji An Che slowly turned his head. His eyes were red, and his amber eyes retained a wet sheen.
His voice was slightly hoarse, and he said to Gu HanZhou earnestly, word by word: "Xiao Zhou, you will see many beautiful fireworks in the future, and no one will ever lock you out again."
"If anyone dares to lock you out," Ji AnChe's expression turned fierce, he viciously moved his finger joints, and smiled, "Ge will let him experience the harshness of society."
Ji AnChe gently hugged the male lead, "I heard that the fireworks show in C city is very beautiful. After the college entrance examination, let's go see it together, okay?"
Gu HanZhou's eyes were slightly startled.
Sealed memories were uncovered.
Time seemed to return to that night in the ice and snow.
The wind was biting cold.
Falling snow swirled towards the earth.
New Year's Eve, outside was the noisy sound of firecrackers and the laughter of other families.
Young Gu Han Zhou was locked outside by his mother.
He didn't know where to go, so he could only go to a nearby bridge hole to take shelter from the snow.
The snow in the bridge hole was almost up to young Gu Han Zhou's waist. He sat on the ground, almost completely buried in the cold snow.
Young Gu Han Zhou sat curled up in the snow, looking up at the brilliant fireworks in the sky.
The cold pierced his bones.
Such beautiful fireworks, he might never see them again.
The boundless snow, surrounded by a desperate, pale white.
Warm snowflakes fell on young Gu Han Zhou's cold body.
He curled up in the snow, his eyelashes and eyebrows covered with snowflakes, his pupils scattered, unable to see clearly what was in front of him. His vital signs gradually faded.
His lips were blue from the cold, his whole body trembling like a sieve, his body had lost sensation, and even lost the feeling of pain.
In the distance.
A little boy with amber eyes stumbled towards him.
The soft little boy directly threw himself into his arms, hugging his almost frozen body.
Heat transferred to him from the point of contact.
Warm blood began to flow again, warmth surged into his frozen fingers.
Sour, sweet, and slightly bitter emotions poured into his heart, filling every gap.
When the feeling of liking reaches a certain level, a heavy sense of suffocation comes from the heart. Reason and delusion surged and struggled, the tearing feeling of enduring to the limit made his bones ache.
Gu Han Zhou stared at the young man with amber eyes, his gaze stubborn and affectionate, "Gege will accompany me to watch fireworks in the future."
He held the young man's hand, interlacing their fingers, "Gege must not go back on your word."
Ji An Che casually said, "If I go back on my word, you can do whatever you want to me."
"Okay, I'll do whatever I want to you."
Gu Han Zhou's eyes were dark, he hugged the young man in his arms and murmured, "I like Gege so much."
Brilliant fireworks lit up the dark night sky outside the window.
Lush roses bloomed in the desolate corner.
Gege, you must like me soon too.

After Gu Han Zhou fell asleep,
Ji An Che casually threw on a jacket and sneaked out of the dorm.
He planned to meet OuYang Wei in person and resolve this issue quickly.
He arrived at a hotel in the commercial street.
Ji An Che entered the hotel and went to room 302 according to the location the boy had given him.
He tentatively pushed open the door and carefully went inside.
The hotel room was spacious, with almost no decorations. Thick curtains blocked the sunlight, leaving the room dimly lit.
Three or four small thugs surrounded the man in the main seat.
Ji An Che sized up the man in the main seat.
The man wore brand-name clothes, his eyes were narrow and slanted, his gaze cold and slimy like a rat in a gutter, making people feel nauseous.
Ji An Che raised an eyebrow: "You are Ou Yang Wei?"
"Yes."
Ou Yang Wei chuckled: "I didn't expect you to be so bold, you actually dared to come alone."
Ji An Che smiled: "So you're the childish elementary school student who sent me harassing messages and threw red paint at the dorm door. Oh, and uses the edgy screen name 'Devil'."
"Ou Yang Wei, it seems you're seriously ill."
Ji An Che's lips curled into a smile, "Get treatment quickly, don't go around harming people."
Hearing Ji An Che's mockery, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Ou Yang Wei's eyes, "You can still laugh now, let's see if you can still laugh later."
A person walked in from the shadows behind, precisely the thin boy who threw the paint.
Ou Yang Wei praised: "Ding Cheng Ye, you did a good job this time."
The thin boy, who trembled with fear when facing him, bowed to Ou Yang Wei, showing a fawning smile, "Wei Ge, this is what I should do. You told me to throw paint at their dorm door, I didn't miss a drop, I threw it all on them."
"People like Ji An Che who don't know their place should be taught a lesson."
Damn it, I've been set up!
After Ji An Che reacted, he immediately wanted to turn around and leave.
Bodyguards in black suits emerged from the shadows, blocking his path. The bodyguards were muscular men with retractable batons hanging at their waists.
Ji An Che felt a cold sweat break out.
Dealing with a group of ordinary thugs was no problem for him. But if he faced those professionally trained bodyguards, he would likely be no match.
The iron door outside slammed shut.
Ou Yang Wei's expression was sinister: "Let's talk about Gu Han Zhou. I don't like Gu Han Zhou."
"You protecting Gu Han Zhou means you're against me. Don't blame me for being ruthless."
"I'll protect Gu Han Zhou, what are you going to do about it?"
Ji An Che rolled his eyes, sneered: "Kill me to silence me?"
Ji An Che bet they wouldn't dare to do anything to him.
After all, the original owner was backed by the entire Ji family. Although he didn't know how favored the original owner was at home, the Ji family's reputation alone was enough to deter many people.
Now the thing to do was to stall for time and try to find a chance to escape.
Ou Yang Wei said calmly: "I really don't dare to hurt the precious young master of the Ji family. I'm a coward, I don't dare to do anything like murder or arson."
Ou Yang Wei's expression turned sinister, he chuckled darkly: "But if Young Master Ji does something irreversible, then it's none of my business."
Ji An Che suddenly had a bad feeling.
Ou Yang Wei slowly picked up a glass of light red liquid, gently swirling it in his hand.
He smiled: "Young Master Ji, are you thirsty? Have some drinks."
Ji An Che frowned: "I'm not thirsty."
"Even if you don't want to drink today, you have to drink for me."
Ou Yang Wei's twisted smile became more and more arrogant, "This wine is a good thing that can make you happy. If you don't drink, how can you appreciate my kindness?"
Ji An Che's face turned cold.
That drink definitely had something in it.
A bodyguard beside him said: "Young Master, the camera is ready."
Ou Yang Wei nodded, beckoning to a woman beside him, "Xiao Qian, come here."
"Young Master Ji is so handsome, Xiao Qian, you're lucky."
The woman named Xiao Qian, with a graceful figure, walked to Ji An Che, seductively saying: "Wei Ge, rest assured, I will definitely take good care of Young Master Ji."
Ou Yang Wei instructed: "Remember to change positions and take several pictures, after all, the video will be uploaded to the internet."
Xiao Qian's expression stiffened slightly, "Okay, I remember."
Seeing the girl's unnatural expression, Ji An Che had a plan.
Ou Yang Wei coldly threatened: "Young Master Ji, think about the consequences of these indecent photos being uploaded online. Will you be able to stay at this school anymore? I heard that the Ji family has always had strict family rules, will your father break your legs, or directly cut ties with you?"
"This will be a stain you can never wash away. No matter where you go, people will point at your back and scold you. Is it worth ruining your reputation for Gu Han Zhou?"
Ou Yang Wei smiled: "If Young Master Ji gives up on opposing me, then naturally, none of this will happen."
Ji An Che asked strangely: "Why should I give up?"
He knew that the more resistance he showed, the more aggressive the other party would become. If he showed interest, maybe Ou Yang Wei would change his mind.
Ji An Che suppressed his nausea and said: "Someone is giving me women for no reason, I'm overjoyed."
"Could it be that Ou Yang is actually my long-lost good brother? That's why he cares so much about me. Knowing that I haven't had any fun for a long time, he deliberately helped me solve my problems."
Ou Yang Wei's face froze, his prepared words stuck in his throat.
He never expected Ji An Che to be so shameless.
Ou Yang Wei quickly recovered, and dryly laughed: "So we're kindred spirits."
"I heard you have many female fans on the forum, let's post the video on the forum, let everyone have a good look at your private life."
Ji An Che nonchalantly chuckled: "I have nothing to fear, I'm a man after all. I don't think anyone will be interested in me."
"Since girls are willing to be watched by so many people, what do I have to be unhappy about?"
"This girl, you don't look very old, you're in the prime of your youth, why are you ruining yourself like this?"
A look of embarrassment appeared on the girl named Xiao Qian's face.
Xiao Qian's expression was conflicted and hesitant, she leaned weakly into Ou Yang Wei's arms, "Wei Ge, actually, I don't really like this kind of thing, can I not do it?"
"Didn't you say I'm your favorite girl? How can you bear to let me sleep with another man, and… and take a video and upload it online? I really don't want to do that."
Ou Yang Wei hugged Xiao Qian, kissing her cheek: "Baby, my favorite girl is indeed you, don't you love me?"
"If you love me, what's the big deal about sacrificing a little for me? It's just sleeping together."
Ou Yang Wei pinched her cheek and sneered, "Anyway, you've done this plenty of times."
"Ou Yang Wei, what do you mean by that?!"
Xiao Qian's eyes instantly turned red, she loudly questioned, "Are you indirectly calling me names???"
Ou Yang Wei chuckled, "I'm not calling you names, darling, aren't I just stating facts?"
"Since you've become a whore, why bother pretending to be virtuous."
Xiao Qian's face turned pale, she swayed, almost unable to stand.
"So, so you've always seen me like that."
Ou Yang Wei's expression was extremely cold, without a trace of warmth in his eyes.
Tears streamed down Xiao Qian's face, her face pale, she bit her lower lip and asked, "I don't want to do it anymore, I'm sorry. Wei Ge, can you let me go home?"
Ou Yang Wei sneered, "Don't play the pitiful and innocent act in front of me, making it seem like I'm bullying you. You're not a good person either. You're doing it for money, I'm doing it for sex, we're just getting what we want."
"Xiao Qian, you owe twenty thousand yuan in gambling debts, do you still want to pay it back? If you don't obey me today, I'll send you to Hei Ge, you know Hei Ge's methods better than I do."
The air was deathly silent.
Ji An Che stood beside them watching their conflict, quickly thinking about how to escape.
A direct confrontation wouldn't work, he had to quickly think of a plan.
Xiao Qian's body trembled uncontrollably, her voice trembling with sobs, "Okay… I'll obey, I'll do as you say."
"Wei Ge, I did genuinely like you."
Xiao Qian shyly glanced at Ou Yang Wei, blushing, she humbly said, "Can I kiss you one last time? Just one last time. I'll be obedient from now on."
A surge of triumph welled up in Ou Yang Wei's heart. He complacently spread his arms, "Come on."
Xiao Qian walked towards him, pretending to casually pick up a beer bottle from the table.
"I'll fight you to the death!!"
Xiao Qian picked up the beer bottle and smashed it directly onto his head, "Ou Yang Wei, die!!!"
Ou Yang Wei was caught off guard and hit, blood flowing from his head, making his sinister face even more terrifying.
"Do you think I'm giving you face? You dare to ride on my head and run wild." Ou Yang Wei's face turned livid with anger, he took a deep breath and kicked the woman hard.
The kick was aimed at her most vulnerable abdomen, easily causing organ damage, or even threatening her life.
Xiao Qian's pupils constricted in terror, but it was too late to escape.
Ji An Che kicked Ou Yang Wei from the side. Due to inertia, Ou Yang Wei fell to the side, his forehead hitting the iron railing outside.
Ou Yang Wei raised his head, with a bloody hole on each side of his head, it was comically symmetrical.
Ji An Che couldn't help but laugh.
Xiao Qian trembled, curled up on the floor, gratefully glancing at Ji An Che, "Thank you."
Ji An Che: "You're welcome."
Ou Yang Wei fell to the ground, unable to move, instantly enraged, "Bodyguards, quickly force Ji An Che to drink the drugged alcohol, I want Ji An Che to be disgraced, to never recover."
With gauze stopping the blood on his forehead, Ou Yang Wei gritted his teeth and instructed, "Throw him into another room upstairs, then turn on the camera in that room. After recording, send me the video. I won't be Ou Yang if I don't get revenge!"
The bodyguards rushed forward to surround Ji An Che, his neck was held down by the bodyguards.
The liquid poured into his throat, a stinging spiciness spreading from his throat.
The drug quickly began to take effect.
The world spun, everything began to sway dizzily.
Ji An Che felt nauseous, his pupils dilated and unable to focus.
All his strength seemed to be drained. Ji An Che couldn't stand, he fell to the ground. A burning sensation spread through his limbs.
Ji An Che curled up, his fingertips turning bluish-white.
His hazy consciousness didn't know when it would break.
Enduring to the limit, a sharp pain spread through his bones.
A bloody taste came from his throat.
