The Stunning General Finds Himself in a Shura Field on a Dating Show ABO - Chapter 16

I almost didn’t recognize you, haha! You were so cool just now, Brother Xu! Ye Zhi’s eyes sparkled like a fanboy’s.

Xu Shengyuan chuckled, scratching his slightly disheveled hair. He tilted his head, raising an eyebrow, and said, Get on. I’ll take you for a ride on my motorcycle.

Sure thing! Ye Zhi replied with eager enthusiasm.

He swung his long leg over the seat and settled behind Xu Shengyuan, his hand lingering on the smooth, sleek body of the motorcycle, his eyes filled with envy.

So this is called a motorcycle…

It’s so cool!

I love it!

The Beauty seems to really like motorcycles.

Now I suddenly want to see the Beauty riding one. It would be such a sight!

You’ve got me craving it too! I want to see it now!

Xiao Ye, hold onto my waist so you don’t fall off, Xu Shengyuan warned, noticing Ye Zhi’s fidgeting.

Hearing this, Ye Zhi immediately stopped touching the motorcycle and wrapped his arms around Xu Shengyuan’s waist, his voice brimming with excitement.

I’m ready! Go ahead, Brother Xu!

The summer fabric was thin, and the warmth from the boy’s fingertips radiated clearly through the material, pressing against Xu Shengyuan’s skin. That patch of skin suddenly felt hot, and his heart followed suit, growing restless.

Xu Shengyuan took a deep breath, trying to ignore the heat at his waist. He called out to the back seat, Hold on tight!

As soon as the words left his lips, the motorcycle shot forward.

The cool evening wind rushed against their faces, the speed nearly suffocating. Yet Ye Zhi shouted above the roar, Ah—! This is—so—exhilarating—!

The wind howled in Xu Shengyuan’s ears, making it hard to hear. What—did you—say?

Ye Zhi leaned closer to Xu Shengyuan’s ear and repeated, I said—this is—so—exhilarating—!

The boy’s clear, crisp voice pierced Xu Shengyuan’s eardrum, carried by the summer night wind deep into his heart. It stirred the already turbulent sea of his emotions, raising sails of joy on its surging waves.

A faint smile curved Xu Shengyuan’s lips, as rich and warm as the evening glow.

The wanderer’s initial spark of attraction had spread like wildfire, gathering into a vast ocean in his eyes, surging and boundless.

By the time they returned to the cabin, night had completely fallen.

Lu Qingze was the only one in the living room, his laptop open before him, looking like he was working.

Brother Lu, are you the only one in the living room? Where is everyone else? Ye Zhi asked.

I was waiting for you to return. The others are in their rooms, Lu Qingze replied, glancing up briefly. Where did you two go?

Xu Shengyuan jingled his motorcycle keys, his mood buoyant. Took Xiao Ye for a ride on the bike.

Ye Zhi chimed in, Brother Xu drove so fast! It was exhilarating!

Faced with the young man’s enthusiasm, Lu Qingze merely nodded, offering no further comment.

An awkward silence hung in the air.

Just then, a second task message arrived

All guests are requested to gather in the living room. The guests’ ages and identities will now be revealed, and tomorrow’s group activity will be selected.

Following the task instructions, Kim Hee and Qin Siran also joined the group in the living room.

The group settled onto the sofas and began the evening’s grand reveal of ages and identities.

Except for Ye Zhi, everyone else was already established in the entertainment industry, making their professions easy to guess.

Kim Hee was a superstar in the music scene, aged 24.

Qin Siran was a popular young idol, aged 20.

Ye Zhi already knew a lot about Xu Shengyuan and Lu Qingze.

Xu Shengyuan was currently a film director and the investor behind this dating show, aged 23.

Even though I’m the investor, this show has its own dedicated director and production team, Xu Shengyuan said to the camera. I won’t be pulling any strings or engaging in any behind-the-scenes manipulation. You can all rest assured.

The audience had no reason to doubt him.

After all, the show’s director was Liu Yi, a notoriously uncompromising figure. Trying to get favors from Liu Yi was no easy task.

As for Lu Qingze, he was C City’s renowned Film Emperor, also aged 23.

After everyone finished introducing themselves, Ye Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness I frantically crammed knowledge about this world these past few days, figuring out what the entertainment industry is and what a Film Emperor is. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have understood a word of these introductions.

With everyone having introduced themselves, all eyes turned to Ye Zhi.

Qin Siran observed Ye Zhi’s physique and, noticing his remarkably well-proportioned build, guessed, Are you a model?

Model? A new term. I’ll have to research that later.

Ye Zhi shook his head. No.

Xiao Ye is so young, Kim Hee speculated. You must still be a university student, right?

Ye Zhi raised his eyes in surprise and nodded.

He felt a little guilty about the nod, as he had only recently gained the status of a university student.

And it was all thanks to connections…

Kim Hee, looking as if he had expected this all along, continued his questioning

Which university? What’s your major?

Ye Zhi thought for a moment before answering

C University, History.

Lu Qingze had given him many majors to choose from, but he couldn’t even pass the written exam because he could only read traditional Chinese characters.

Later, a history professor heard about his situation and specially prepared a traditional Chinese version of the exam for him.

By sheer luck, the exam focused mostly on the Xia Kingdom and earlier dynasties, which Ye Zhi found surprisingly easy to answer.

It was at that moment that Ye Zhi realized this wasn’t another world, but rather a continuation of the dynasty he had once lived in.

He was still living on the land of the Xia Kingdom.

The outcome was predictable he was admitted to C University’s History department through special consideration.

Upon hearing Ye Zhi’s major, Kim Hee and Qin Siran both looked surprised.

After all, Ye Zhi’s striking appearance made him seem more like an art student.

C University? Is he a new freshman? I haven’t seen him around before!

Next Monday is the freshman orientation! Will I finally get to see the Beauty?

Holy sh1t! C University is going wild!

Wait, he’s at the same university as Brother Lu? Qin Siran reacted, glancing at Lu Qingze before darting another look at Ye Zhi.

Ye Zhi nodded. Yeah, Brother Lu is a senior, and I’m a freshman.

A freshman? He must be young. How old is he? Kim Hee asked from the side.

Nineteen.

Wow! The little brother is so young!

Hey, little brother, want a Female Alpha? Hang out with your Senior Sister!

Be with me! I’ll write your graduation thesis for you!

The C University students showed unprecedented enthusiasm for their new junior, even spontaneously creating a Super Topic on Weibo to organize Ye Zhi’s fans.

Just as everyone was discussing his identity and age, a post quietly climbed to the top of the trending searches

Shocking! Dating Show Beauty’s Chaotic Private Life Exposed!

The post contained two photos.

One showed Lu Qingze nuzzling Ye Zhi’s nape. Due to the angle, Lu Qingze’s face wasn’t visible, making it appear as if Ye Zhi was being intimate with an unknown man.

The other photo captured Xu Shengyuan grabbing Ye Zhi’s arm. The photographer had deliberately chosen an angle that made them look like a bickering couple.

Placed side by side, the two photos sparked wild speculation.

The caption detailed Xu Shengyuan’s past romantic affairs and speculated that the two might be in a relationship.

It ended with a pointed question

Isn’t it strange for a Beta to suddenly appear on a dating show and conveniently know investor Xu?

As soon as the post went live, those who already disliked Ye Zhi flooded the comments

I always suspected his private life was a mess! This is proof!

He’s entangled with the Film Emperor while seducing the investor? Disgusting!

And he even tried to seduce Xiao Qin! All that waist-grabbing and sleeping next to him! I’m furious!
