Reborn As a System

After saying that, Qin Mo took him into his arms and stroked his back soothingly before saying, “It’s alright, this is fine too.”

Shi Qing was in a complete daze while being held. He really couldn’t keep up, was that supposed to be a brotherly hug? Then why does he feel that undulating feeling? It isn’t normal!

His movements were unchanged, but he opened his mouth and tentatively called out, “Third Brother?”

That voice that sounded so soft from having just woken up in the morning was an absolute treat for Qin Mo, but now it caused his body to stiffen instead.

In the next moment, he pulled the two of them apart abruptly and the temperature in his soft black eyes dropped to freezing in an instant. The tenderness and pampering disappeared as if it had been blown away by a cold wind, leaving no traces behind.

He stared at Shi Qing and enunciated each word of his question, “Who am I?”

Shi Qing didn’t know what was going on. He was completely confused as to how things turned out this way. Even though it was clearly warm as a spring day earlier, how did it become winter so quickly?

However, he had always been a creature who ran on instinct, and the confusion in his mind did not stop him from answering obediently, “Ye Mo.”

Hearing that name, the pair of dark eyes narrowed and the surrounding atmosphere became even colder.

Shi Qing shrank his neck. He knew that this person was angry, but…What on earth was he angry about?! Can he give him a clue?! He used to think he was pretty smart, but how did he fall so low after dying once?!

Fearing that he would be strangled to death again after just coming back to life, he called out to him again softly, “Brother?”

Shi Qing originally wanted to show weakness, but he didn’t expect that his careful and soft call would trigger his brother completely.

The two were originally sitting face to face, but with Qin Mo leaning over him, there’s no way Shi Qing would be able to hold him back. Fortunately, the bed was behind him so that was what he fell on. He thought that was the end of it, but who knew that his brother’s switch had been completely flipped. He looked down at him for a moment, then he dropped his head and buried it into Shi Qing’s neck.

Shi Qing was really caught off guard!

His neck felt extremely ticklish but he couldn’t break free. When Qin Mo kept sniffing him and was about to tear his clothes open, Shi Qing snapped.

What was he trying to do!

Tugging hard on his own clothes, Shi Qing glared angrily at him.

A certain assaulting big brother seemed to have regained a bit of his sanity as he looked at him and said, “I want to confirm it.”

Shi Qing, “Confirm what?”

“Whether you’re mine or not.”

Shi Qing, “…” What! What does that mean?!

At that moment, Shi Qing was no longer just a young grasshopper. He didn’t spend a hundred thousand points on strengthening his body for nothing. Even though he couldn’t overpower his host, he still wasn’t all that weak.

He wouldn’t let go of his pajamas even if he died, and Qin Mo was helpless against that.

However, Qin Mo actually calmed down at that moment. He thought he got the wrong person in the beginning, but after smelling him so many times, he had already made very sure in his heart. Due to their pact, he could not be any more familiar with Shi Qing’s smell, especially since his sense of smell was particularly sensitive in his current body body. That was why he could easily identify it.

It really was Shi Qing. His Shi Qing.

Shi Qing stared fixedly at Qin Mo, unblinking. He really couldn’t put down his guard. Who knew if he’d try something again?

Thankfully, Ye Mo, who still seemed to be tense earlier, had gone back to his usual self. Hm…that’s not right. Something was still off.

Ye Mo’s voice was deep. Looking at Shi Qing, he said after a moment, “You forgot about me.”

Shi Qing’s heart suddenly clenched. It felt as if it hurt, but also as if he was afraid.

For Ye Mo to react this way…Could it be, he noticed that someone had transmigrated into his younger brother’s body? Thinking of that, Shi Qing felt a little surprised. But he still tried his best to play the role of Ye Qing. Puzzled, he asked, “Third Brother?”

Ye Mo’s face sank.

Shi Qing really wanted to curse. Big Brother! What rubbed you the wrong way this time?! Can you please stop being so inscrutable? I’m getting nervous here!

Ye Mo grunted coldly and pulled him over, licking his neck before speaking in a disgruntled voice, “Qin Mo.”

Shi Qing wriggled from the ticklish feeling. He couldn’t understand him. “What?”

“Qin Mo!” He bit down hard. “Remember, I’m Qin Mo!”

“Ah!” Shi Qing sucked in a breath of air. That hurts! But he really couldn’t provoke this lunatic, so he compromised, “Alright, alright. I got it.”

Even though it felt a little perfunctory, the fact that Shi Qing did not resist him even after forgetting about him made Qin Mo feel a little better.

Then he went from biting to licking him again. He caressed Shi Qing’s back soothingly and said in a gentle voice, “You can call me Big Brother as well.”

Shi Qing hurried to appease him. “Brother…”

That soft and quiet call was like a trickle of electricity, stabbing straight into Qin Mo’s heart. He couldn’t help but feel tickled from it, and so his mouth bit down with even more force…

Shi Qing cried out in dismay. Damn it! Could someone please arrest this biting lunatic?!

His brother seemed to have been satisfied after that. He finally stopped biting or licking him, and just held him like that.

Shi Qing felt bitter in his heart. He had a brother of his own, too. Even though Shi Yue was a little black bellied, he was a good older brother with a good conscience! How could he be anything like Ye Qing’s big brother…He’s simply a lunatic!

Please, let me get a new brother!

Unfortunately, nobody listened to him.

After a while, it felt like Shi Qing was going to touch his warning line again. A certain lunatic big brother was at it again. He pulled Shi Qing’s body straight and said calmly to him, “You’re not allowed to call anyone else that.”

Shi Qing, “…” But Shi Qing still had two older brothers, alright?!

“You can call them Second Brother and Fourth Brother.”

Shi Qing, “…” What even was the difference?!

“Don’t call me Third Brother.”

Shi Qing’s intelligence finally worked and he managed to see the difference. And so, he nodded seriously, “Understood, brother~” He could drag the last syllable on.

Qin Mo was finally satisfied. Curling his lips up a little, a faint smile gradually emerged on his face, warming up his overly cold appearance. It was incredibly pleasant to look at.

Shi Qing heard his heart beating uncontrollably again.

No…Stop jumping…This…No matter how good-looking this person was, he’s still not a woman!

After getting tangled up for a long time, the two finally came out from the room and went to the dining hall together.

The Ye family had many big businesses. Even though the land in the Capital was scarce, they had their own mansions, not to mention this magnificent residence. Just the courtyard alone was big enough for airships to land on.

The number of mansions such as these in the Galactic Federation was easily countable, and one should not even think about owning one without saving money for thousands of years.

As the head of the family, old Patriarch Ye lived in the family home. He was already 78 that year, which was the age of retirement of the current society. If his partner hadn’t left him, he might even work for another ten years.

Unfortunately, with his companion departed, his eldest son gone, his second son a muddled mess, and his fourth son running away from marriage, the successive events made him dizzy with shock and caused him to age a few years.

Yet, he was no normal person after all. His years of experience made it so that blow only lasted a few tired nights. After setting his targets again, he was once again refreshed.

He still had a chance!

Though his second son may be obsessed with an alpha, there was a chance to bend him straight as long as he was still alive!

Even though Ye Xin ran away from the marriage, that was okay. That kid didn’t understand how complex the world was. He would have to get him back, even if he had to tie him up, so he could marry him off again. Once he was marked, he would live his life just for his alpha and stop with those funny thoughts.

What’s more, he still had his third and fifth son right now.

Even though the youngest son was a beta, he didn’t want to underestimate him. Though a beta was weaker than an alpha in terms of strength, combat response and leadership, a beta still had their advantages in overall terms. They wouldn’t be affected by omegas and were more sensible and calm. An outstanding beta could embark in a good career just the same.

What’s more, betas also had the ability to impregnate others. He could find Ye Qing a good wife and get a few grandkids out of that. Maybe an outstanding alpha might come of it. That would also pass on the Ye family bloodline.

Of course, the most important thing at that moment was to find Ye Mo an omega!

When he saw Ye Mo and Shi Qing coming down together, old Patriarch Ye looked up and nodded when he heard their greetings.

There should be no talking at the dinner table, so old Patriarch Ye waited until they all finished breakfast before he picked up the tea handed to him by the maid and took a light sip before saying, “Xiao Mo, clear up your schedule this afternoon. I’ll ask Xiao Xia to come over to join us for a meal.”

Shi Qing’s ears pricked up. Old Patriarch Ye’s words were vague, but the meaning was clear. Li Xia was the Li family’s youngest son and was three years younger than Ye Mo. Like Ye Xin, he was raised at home from a young age and rarely went out to meet people. Though, he was still a very charming young boy.

Most importantly, of course, he was an excellent omega.

To put it bluntly, it was a blind date for Ye Mo!

Shi Qing had no idea why but he felt stuffy in his heart. He turned around to look at Qin Mo.

Without raising his gaze, Qin Mo responded, “Alright.”

Shi Qing felt even worse! Looking at Qin Mo again, it felt like his eyes weren’t his eyes, and his nose wasn’t his nose anymore! He felt annoyed! So he just turned around and stopped looking at him!

Old Patriarch Ye used to ignore Ye Qing, but now that his sons had been drastically reduced, even a beta was precious to him. Moreover, Ye Qing had always been obedient and never stirred up trouble. After some careful thought, this son didn’t seem so bad. Since he neglected him in the past, he should make it up to him now.

Therefore, he said, “You’re getting older too, Xiao Qing. If you see a girl you like in school, tell your dad.”

Ye Qing, “囧…” Old man, are you a professional matchmaker?

Qin Mo, who had kept his head down, suddenly looked up and finally looked at Ye Xuan. He said, “Xiao Qing is still young. No need to hurry.”

It was just the recent impact that got to him. Remembering that Ye Qing had yet to graduate, it was true that there was no hurry. So, Ye Xuan didn’t mention it again.

After having a cup of digestive tea, Qin Mo got up and was about to leave, even pulling Shi Qing with him as well. “Let me send you to school.”

Shi Qing was still unhappy inside and was going to say he would go himself.

Unfortunately, an urgent announcement came from outside before he could say anything.

Immediately afterwards, a large green screen appeared out of thin air. The commander in the image looked anxious. “Chief! The search party has found the Fourth Young Master! He’s in the Loafel region! There’s been chaos!”

Ye Xuan stood up abruptly. “What happened? Didn’t he bring his inhibitors in his luggage?”

The commander hurriedly responded, “The Fourth Young Master has lost his luggage. He’s there by himself.”

Ye Xuan’s face changed dramatically. He quickly said to Qin Mo, “Hurry, rush over to the Loafel Region!”

Then, he turned around to look at Shi Qing. “Ye Qing, you go with your Third Brother too!”

The author has something to say:

Sweats…early reminder, Shi Qing’s character is adopted. They’re not blood related! They were supposed to be real brothers, but you know…In order to not bother everyone to send me food in prison, let’s keep it low key!

I have a quick note related to my completed translation for Screen Partner. It seems that someone has taken my translation, made it into a kindle book, stolen art for the cover, and put it for sale.

Please don’t be that person. Feel free to go find it and leave a review mentioning that it can be read for free if you have time. I can’t leave reviews since I haven’t purchased anything on Amazon in the last year.

Hope you are all well and happy!
