Transmigrated into the School Idol’s Love Rival and Lover

In the darkness, Ruan Yan’s face flushed with a hint of red, countless threads of anxiousness hidden in the depths of his eyes.

Chu Nan’s large hand drifted around Ruan Yan’s lower leg. Ruan Yan’s own sexuality was straight, so he didn’t care even if his leg was felt up.

Most importantly, he was a man. His leg would obviously have some differences compared to a girl’s.

What if Chu Nan realised something?

Ruan Yan’s breath came more and more unevenly, until finally, he finally summoned up the courage to say, “Chu Nan, what do you think about my leg?”

If Chu Nan dared to say it was too thick, then he would just reply that he’d eaten too much recently and gotten fat.

If Chu Nan said that the bone was too big, then he would just say that he was inherently born with a bulky skeleton build. If Chu Nan was still suspicious, then he would just ying-ying-ying and divert the conversation.

Chu Nan’s ears gradually turned red. Why would Yan Yan ask this kind of question?

Although he’d rejected who knew how many love letters, and acted rather aggressively most of the time, but he had never truly been in a relationship before.

Chu Nan was slightly regretful. If he’d known earlier, then he wouldn’t have come to the haunted house. Now, Yan Yan was clearly inviting him (1), but he could only reject her.

“Yan Yan.” Chu Nan did his best to even his voice, “Don’t make trouble. Although there’s only the two of us here right now, but we don’t know when Ju Ping and the others will come. It won’t be good if we do that now.”

“Do what?” Ruan Yan didn’t understand.

Chu Nan had no choice but to scoot close to his ear.

Ruan Yan covered his chest to the best of his ability. If Chu Nan came closer by just a little bit, he would discover that his chest was merely a vast area of flat land, and that he had an Adam’s Apple (2).

“Yan Yan.” Chu Nan suppressed his voice, “Ruan Yan also fell in here. It won’t be appropriate if we get intimate in here.”

Ruan Yan was stricken to the point of being charred on the outside whilst remaining fresh on the inside (3). Astonishment surfaced in his eyes, “When did I say that I wanted to be intimate with you?”

How could he dare to be intimate with Chu Nan?

Moreover, two men simply couldn’t be intimate with each other.

Ruan Yan was an obedient little treasure (4). Although he was forced to do all kinds of perverted things after transmigrating into a novel, but he’d always been well protected by his family and didn’t know that a man could actually do it (5) with another man.

Chu Nan was also stunned, “Yan Yan… You don’t… Then what you asked me just then…”

Ruan Yan coldly replied, “I asked you how my leg was, nothing else. Chu Nan, you’re actually thinking about me in that way.”

Chu Nan: …

19 was precisely the age that youths were full of vigour. As soon as the person he liked said something, he would think that the other was trying to tempt him with his leg.

Chu Nan was extremely embarrassed, “Sorry Yan Yan, I didn’t mean it like that…”

He quickly tried to make up for his mistake, “Your leg is very good looking, it’s thin, long, straight… It’s the most beautiful leg I’ve seen in my life.”

If it had been just then, then Ruan Yan would still have relaxed because Chu Nan didn’t discover anything, but now…

Ruan Yan’s head was filled with thoughts of how Chu Nan wanted to top him.

If his leg was good looking, then wouldn’t it just add to Chu Nan’s filthy desires?

Definitely not!

Ruan Yan’s face was cold. By the time Chu Nan ripped open his clothes and couldn’t find an entrance to insert into, he would probably curse him to be a psychopath, and would certainly beat him up.

He had to rid Chu Nan of his desire!

Ruan Yan coldly replied, “Chu Nan, your obviously thinking dirty thoughts about me. You’re so bad. You’re not even 18 yet, but you’re already thinking of doing those adult things.”

Chu Nan made excuses for himself, his hoarse voice containing a hint of a mature man’s charm, “Yan Yan, I’m 19 this year.”

Ruan Yan: “…But you’re still a student.”

Chu Nan was helpless, “Last year, the law passed that people could marry as long as both parties were 18.”

It didn’t matter if they were still students.

Ruan Yan: …………As expected, this really was a Mary Sue Romance novel. Its culture could really make a person exclaim in shock.

He couldn’t compete with Chu Nan on this topic and could only change the conversation, “Fine. Help me look at how my leg is, and then immediately remove your hand.”

Chu Nan forcefully suppressed the fire in his heart and fumbled around for half a day. Ruan Yan urged him, “Chu Nan, faster.”

If he kept on feeling around, what would he do if a fire arose? (6)

Chu Nan replied, “I just remembered. I have a lighter in my pocket, I’ll take it out and light it.”

Things would be a lot more convenient with light.

Ruan Yan, however, jumped in fright. He was wearing a white T-shirt and black pants right now, being in so much pain that his face had turned white as he half leaned on the wall. If there was light, then he would definitely be seen through.

“No.” Ruan Yan immediately refused.

Chu Nan frowned, his tone stubborn, “Yan Yan, don’t throw a tantrum now. The earlier we check the wound, the earlier your body will recover.”

He ignored Ruan Yan’s rebuttal and persisted with his own opinion.

Ruan Yan’s heart skipped a beat. Chu Nan had been pampering (7) him lately, but in actuality, at the very beginning, Chu Nan’s temper had been extremely volatile – he hadn’t paid attention to anyone.

“Chu Nan~” Ruan Yan changed his tone just in time, deciding to smooth over Chu Nan’s ruffled feathers first (8). He used a soft coquettish voice to coddle, “Don’t use a lighter… My wound's fine. You can just feel around slowly.”

For the sake of survival, Ruan Yan’s face turned an embarrassing shade of red. Forcefully suppressing the fear of being topped in the future, he actively reached out to grasp Chu Nan’s hand and place it on his leg.

“Didn’t you say that my leg was thin and long and straight? Just keep on touching it then.” Ruan Yan’s throat trembled. Even if his expression remained cold, it was still far too humiliating right now. Even his voice was shaking, but he still had to remain courageous and be “flirtatious”, seducing Chu Nan.

Chu Nan: …

He really couldn’t resist against Yan Yan’s current appearance, both pure and enticing, but Chu Nan forced himself to remain clearheaded, “Yan Yan, what’s wrong? Why don’t you want me to use the lighter?”

Because you’ll probably beat me up if the lighter was used.

Ruan Yan was slightly displeased. He’d already let Chu Nan touch – why couldn’t Chu Nan just listen to him?

Was it because his leg wasn’t thin enough, or was it because his skin wasn’t glossy enough?

Ruan Yan’s face was cold as he continued to expend effort trying to seduce Chu Nan, “Chu Nan… It’s so cold here, and your hand is so warm… Keep on touching ma.”

Chu Nan: …

His “flag” (9) had long since been raised, but he still felt that something wasn’t right, “Yan Yan, tell me, exactly what’s wrong?”

There were three strands of stubbornness in his voice, “If you really want me to touch you, then we can go get a room in a moment. Or we can go to my house, and we’ll go get our marriage certificate tomorrow. After the university exam, we can tour around the world and hold our wedding. But you need to tell me why you don’t want me to use the lighter right now.”

Ruan Yan was so shocked that even his tears forgot to fall.

Even selling his body (10) wouldn’t work?

He could only switch to a new method, speaking in a wronged tone, “I… When I fell just then, my clothes were scratched open… You can’t look.”

So it was because of this.

Chu Nan could barely accept this reason, “Fine, then I won’t use the lighter.”

He took off his own clothes and handed them to Ruan Yan, “Wear it.”

Ruan Yan smelt a vague fragrance, “You’re giving it to me… Then what are you going to wear?”

Chu Nan replied, “I’m a man. It doesn’t matter even if I’m seen, as long as you don’t get jealous. (11)”

He didn’t hear the sound of putting on clothes and thought that Yan Yan wouldn’t wear it. So, he simply took the clothing (12) from her and arranged it neatly, “Reach your head out.”

Ruan Yan didn’t know what was going to happen, so he really did stick his head out, and Chu Nan put the clothes over his head.

In the midst of contact, Chu Nan’s hand touched Ruan Yan’s collar.

He asked, “Yan Yan, what clothes are you wearing today?”

Why did it seem like the collar he felt belonged to a male-styled shirt?

Ruan Yan’s heart thumped, “A shirt ah~ I’ve always been wearing dresses, so I wanted to change styles today. Can’t I?”

“You can.” There was absolutely no way that Chu Nan would guess that Ran Yan was a guy.

He even thought, Yan Yan’s so petite and pretty. When she wears male clothing, she must have a different kind of attraction, looking very valiant.

Chu Nan spoke, “It’s such a pity that I can’t see right now. Wear it again for me on another day, ok?”

“Ok.” Ruan Yan agreed, though he secretly thought that Chu Nan himself didn’t even know how many times he’d seen his male appearance already.

Chu Nan checked Ruan Yan’s wound again after he finished wearing his clothes.

There really was blood.

Ruan Yan had bandaides in his pocket. He originally just wanted to let Chu Nan help him put on a bandaide, but he didn’t think that after Chu Nan used his hand to wipe off the blood on his leg, he would actually lower his head further. A tingle went up Ruan Yan’s leg as a gust of warm wind blew over the wound.

“Chu Nan! What are you doing?”

Chu Nan lifted his head, his eyes as deep as water. His voice was hoarse as he said, “I didn’t bring tissues, so I can only do it this way. Does Yan Yan mind?”

Ruan Yan had mysophobia, so of course he minded. But it wasn’t as difficult to bear with as he expected.

He replied, “Use your hand next time.” (13)

Finished with his actions, Chu Nan helped Ruan Yan up.

Ruan Yan asked him, “Before, you said that Ruan Yan also fell in here?

Chu Nan nodded and took the opportunity to blacken him, “En, his courage is really small, and he’s not very strong either. He was scared the entire way here and didn’t know how to do anything. Yan Yan, follow me closely in a while. Don’t be scared by him.”

Ruan Yan: …

He carefully thought back to their journey here. Even though he was scared, but apart from the very beginning, he didn’t really drag Chu Nan down.

Ruan Yan’s face turned cold in a second. In an unhappy, crisp, milky voice, he asked, “Ruan Yan is so hard to bear?”

Chu Nan beat the iron whilst it was hot, “What I just told you can’t even describe a tenth of how cowardly he is.”

He lowered his voice again, whispering bewitchingly, “Yan Yan, I’m still the best.”

Ruan Yan didn’t bother with him, “Let’s go look for Ruan Yan. He tutors me, so at least I still owe him a favour.”

“En.” Even though Chu Nan didn’t like how Ruan Yan pestered Ran Yan, at least he wouldn’t just leave him here.

Ruan Yan took the opportunity to suggest splitting up to search, and Chu Nan warned him not to walk too far. It was best to stay and wait for him on the spot.

Chu Nan felt along the wall to keep track of where he was going. He guessed that the cellar was meant to have lights, just that they were all extinguished for some unknown reason.

As Chu Nan carefully searched for traces, Ruan Yan had already silently moved away from the corner of the wall.

He walked out of the cellar and took out his phone to send a message, “Chu Nan… What I’m wearing today doesn’t look nice at all. I’m going home first, I (14) can’t leave you with a not pretty impression of myself~ I’ll call you at night.”

Ruan Yan wouldn’t change clothes in the haunted house. After all, who knew if there were cameras around.

If it was discovered that there was a guy changing into female clothing, then perhaps even the boss would come over to ask about it.

So, he had to change back to Ruan Yan’s identity, in case he was revealed in a moment when there was light.

Ruan Yan took off Chu Nan’s clothes and put it in his backpack. Then, he tidied up the messed-up collar and pants.

With much difficulty, Chu Nan had managed to light up a lamp when he suddenly discovered that Yan Yan was gone.

The expression on his face turned extremely terrible in a single moment, and after surveying the cellar to find that there was no one in it, he started to trace his way back.

“Yan Yan!” Chu Nan walked out of the cellar and saw a familiar silhouette wearing pants and a shirt, unconsciously yelling out the name.

Ruan Yan turned his head back icily, “Yan Yan?”

He spoke, “I remember that Ran Yan has long hair. Chu Nan, you can still blame it on being worried if you recognise the wrong person by their silhouette, but you can’t even differentiate between long hair and short hair. Are you also like this when you do questions?”

Only then did Chu Nan become clear headed. He was too overcome by worry just then and when he'd charged out, his instincts had told him that the person in front of him was Ran Yan.

Only now did he realise how exorbitant his instinct had been.

Yan Yan would innocently seduce him to touch her, whereas Ruan Yan was a cold, icy, hard man – there was nothing similar about them.

“Saw wrong.” Chu Nan replied. His eyes suddenly turned sharp, “Your eyes are red? You cried?”

Yan Yan cried just then too.

“No.” Ruan Yan made up an excuse, “Dust got into my eyes.”

​

Chu Nan looked at him for a moment before smirking, “You were actually scared to the point of crying. Ruan Yan, are you still a man?”

Ruan Yan was unhappy to the extreme, deciding to write down this times humiliation first.

He glanced at the traces of blood left near the side of Chu Nan’s lips and his eyes darkened, not saying anything.

Yet Chu Nan discovered his gaze and wiped a bit at the blood. “Sorry for letting you see that. Yan Yan’s just like a little wild cat sometimes. She accidentally bit my lip when kissing me.”

Ruan Yan: …

When did he kiss Chu Nan?

Translator’s Notes:

(1) It doesn’t specifically say, but I’m pretty sure… Uh… … that this is referring to an invitation to engage in some sort of sexual activities (but don’t take my word for it >< I’m young and pure ^^) à oh lol, it’s “explained” (delved into) afterwards

(2) The professional term for it just felt weird if it popped up out of nowhere, so I just used adams apple. However, for those who don’t understand, it’s just the “thyroid cartilage” – that protruding thing on guys necks after puberty :)

(3) Welp… Literal translations are weird… But I just wanted to keep the humour in there. Basically, it’s a metaphor where it says that Ruan Yan was struck by lightning (because of how shocked he was), and was burnt on the outside whilst… well… being fine on the inside… ha…ha…

(4) Aha…ha… Here comes the literal translation again… Of course, apart from “treasure” we could also opt for baby, but uh… I feel like the rhythms a bit off in that case… (yep, not an excuse)

(5) I think I’m clear enough? I mean… it’s usually referred to as “it” right? Haha… Basically refers to that three lettered s word that people learn in physical development classes ^^

(6) Wow… Literal translation again, haha… Still has those uh… sexual implications if ur unclear…

(7) The literal translation is not pampering – would be something more like unlimitedly fulfilling his wants and desires – but I feel like pampering or spoiling would be a better English translation here

(8) Lol, I know I shouldn’t arbitrarily change things, but it really does sound bad if I use the literal translation. The literal translation would be something like “deciding to take on a policy of conciliation to bring Chu Nan under control” – uh… that’s not really exact either (like, not really “bring” Chu Nan under control…. But… yeah…) My Chinese really isn’t up to par for this ><

(9) I’m going to interpret this as erection, lol… I’m really not good at this

(10) Not the literal translation – it’s talking more about his seduction I guess, but I feel like using “body” would make it flow better (more in context) lol

(11) I usually wouldn’t choose to anglicise it, but… welp, putting “eat vinegar” here just doesn’t really work out

(12) The original doesn’t specify what kind of clothing it is, so… it’s not me not wanting to use shirt/coat/jumper/hoodie, etc, it’s just that it says clothing, ha…ha…

(13) Don’t think you need any reminders, but don’t use your hand. Your hand is one of the dirtiest parts of your body as it comes into contact with a lot of things everyday, and soap can’t 100% wash everything off, meaning that it has a lot of bacteria and germs on it, etc. You can easily infect an open wound with your hand.

(14) Note that the literal translation is “this person” – a cutesy way of saying I/me
