After the Cannon Fodder Who Was Always Absorbed in Gossip Leaked His Inner Thoughts — by Feng Lele
Synopsis:
After injuring his head, Chi Qi made two startling discoveries.
Discovery number one: he was actually a cannon-fodder villain in a highly popular novel on a certain green reading app.
Discovery number two: he had triggered a mysterious buff. Wherever he went, there was bound to be juicy gossip.
Now I can feast on gossip anytime, anywhere!
Meanwhile, Chi Qi's family also discovered an earth-shattering secret.
They could read minds!
*
The domineering CEO, his eldest brother, took Chi Qi to his company. The moment they stepped out of the elevator, a familiar inner voice rang out.
[Well, well. Big Brother's secretary certainly has hidden depths.]
The CEO's expression changed drastically. "!!!"
Hidden depths? Could he be a spy planted by a rival company?
Just as he grew wary and began imagining all manner of corporate conspiracies—
[He's actually a master of cross-dressing! One time he even livestreamed from the break room in the middle of the night because overtime left him no time to get home and change.]
Eldest Brother: …
*
His second sister, a popular young actress, asked Chi Qi to bring something to the film set. On their way to the dressing room, they happened upon the male lead's secret boyfriend.
[That face! That body! Playing at pure love in the cesspool of show business, wasting those eight-pack abs on a man who makes him suffer. He endures hardships with him, takes the blame for him, wishes him happiness without asking for anything in return… Seriously, what on earth do you see in him?]
Second Sister: "!!"
[Oh, wait. He's already come to his senses. He came to the set today to expose the male lead's true colors.]
Only then did realization dawn on Chi Qi.
[Doesn't that mean I'll get front-row seats to the drama?!]
His sister's eyes lit up. Exactly!
Not only that, she even gave events a little push. Let the storm rage harder!
*
Following a master's advice, his mother's close friend sought out Chi Qi. "Five million! I'm not asking much. All you have to do is keep my son company and talk to him!"
As an upstanding young man of the modern age, Chi Qi—who was absolutely not blinded by the sight of money, cross that out—accepted without hesitation. "Deal!"
When he entered the hospital room, Chi Qi saw a strikingly handsome man lying in bed.
[My immediate reaction: Hi, husband!]
How could someone fit his tastes so perfectly?
*
Xie Mu had become unresponsive and lay motionless in bed. Somehow, though, he had connected to Chi Qi's brainwaves, and listening to the boy's daily commentary proved unexpectedly entertaining.
[What? A "creditor" helped a gorgeous actress who'd been vilified all over the internet find her biological parents, and a billionaire wept as he declared, "However much you owe, I'll pay it all!"]
[Scandalous! The Tao family's second young master knocks on his sister-in-law's door every single night. Ooh! Sometimes he even climbs through the window.]
[Woohoo, this is fantastic! Hurry up and give me the next installment!]
Until one day…
[Husband, I really want to strip you naked.]
Xie Mu: "?"
To protect his virtue, he summoned every ounce of strength in his body and opened his eyes. Their gazes met.
[HOLY SHIT! THE COMA PATIENT'S COME BACK FROM THE DEAD!]
*
A little bonus scene.
One night, after they had gotten together…
Unable to sleep because a juicy scandal had left him hanging halfway through, Chi Qi tossed and turned before shaking the man beside him awake.
Xie Mu: "Can't sleep?"
Xie Mu: "Then it's just as well you're awake. Let's do something else."
That's not what I meant!
