Pei Xian thought very simply which was opening an alpaca themed coffee shop not far from Xiao Yuhang’s art gallery, I’ll make your life less elegant that when everyone mentions your art gallery, they will say: Oh, it’s the one beside the Alpaca [f* you] Cafe . At the thought of it, he felt good!

By the time he arrived at the place, he was greatly surprised that Gu Han didn’t buy the shop building that Xiao Yuhang took fancy on? The housefly Pei Xian rubbed hands and this art gallery turned directly into a sheep pen, oh so happy!

After paying the down payment, Pei Xian threw the contract to Secretary Ke and no longer cared about it. He pulled Gu Caocao and began to take selfies along the street.

Secretary Ke held the more than 20 million real estate contracts like it was a grenade. Does the boss know it’s going to cost so much?!

In the afternoon, Gu Han invited some of the industry’s sworn followers to have tea in the company, chatting and discussing about the retirement real estate. The guys all decided to put up capital as they followed his lead.

With the CBD’s reinforced concrete forest under his footing and the sunlight shone on him through the French window made him all the more high spirited.

Suddenly, a mobile phone that was put on vibration mode rang a never heard before jingling bells? With question mark expression, Gu Han quickly picked up his mobile phone.

There was a black dot on the screen, which gradually enlarged and became a dark skeleton covering the whole screen. The envelope opened:

The “concern and care for villain’s IQ system” prompted a task:

[ Death Mission.

Task content: Requesting host to call for Xianxian and Caocao and introduce them to your good brothers in a reasonable capacity;

Task time: 40 minutes;

Task tip: The system will help host judge the rationality of identity when host introduces, so host has four chances to modify the previous remark, please cherish it;

Task reward: The task will reward five energy units of the system;

Task punishment: If host fails to meet the system judgment after four identity introductions, the task fails and five energy units will be deducted;

It is everyone’s duty to love and protect Xianxian!

Countdown start: 00:39:43 ]

Gu Han’s face looked so frightened that he couldn’t speak. There were only 4 unit of energy in total. If he couldn’t finish the task, would be deducted 5? Are you really a frigging “concern and care for villain’s IQ system”? You are the “Eighty-one Difficult [1] system”!

Still, never mind Pei Xian, but why did Gu Caocao be on the list? Using this alpaca to generate green energy?

The topic suddenly stopped that the guys looked at each other in dismay and inexplicably looking at Gu Han who had a ‘shit’ face.

“We gentlemen have life-long friendship; I’m going to tell you guys a secret…” Gu Han gulped and clenched his teeth. Then he said, “Wait for me here for a while.”

A childhood friend dared to ask: “Are you… not your father’s biological son?”

“Nonsense! You’re the one who got picked up!” Standing at the doorway, Boss Gu sprayed saliva across the space to the other’s face. “Don’t make wild guesses, you will know in a moment.”

It’d be too late to go back to pick up Pei Xian in less than 40 minute. He could only ask Pei Xian to come at full speed. Gu Han called only to find out that he’s in Haiguang Street. Haiguang Street was less than one stop away from here, there would still be enough time.

Pei Xian was taking beautiful pictures with Gu Caocao when he suddenly got a call from Gu Han to head to the company at top speed and very dedicatedly he pulled the alpaca to run to the car.

Secretary Ke accompanied Pei Xian taking Gu Caocao to the president’s elevator. The reception desk, the lobby, and the corresponding staffs of the top Real Estate 5A Office Building watched as an alpaca swaggered up to the 30th floor as if they saw a ghost.

Secretary Ke knew that Pei Xian was going to see Gu Han and thus he magically pulled out the sorted materials, contracts and also a payment application form for Gu Han’s private account from behind while in the elevator.

God bequeath mercy! When they meet, as long as he (SK) handed the things up, it’s none of his (SK) business! Hahaha!

The moment Pei Xian got out of the elevator, he saw a virtual image moving in front of him. When Gu Han heard the sound of the elevator, he rushed madly to the corridor in a blur.

He grabbed hold of Pei Xian’s hands. “How am I treating to you normally?”

“In the whole world, Mister Gu is the best person to me.” Pei Xian took back his hands as he answered earnestly.

“Good, then listen to whatever I say in a moment!” Gu Han’s face was serious as if it was a matter of life and death.

Secretary Ke only felt that his head was swimming. These two people didn’t look like a boss and his lover, but rather like a socialist revolution comradery. The enemy’s gunfire ahead was fierce. Brother, hold on for me! Hold on!

Then, Boss Gu, regardless of his image pulled Pei Xian to rush in the corridor. With only 20 minute left, if there was any mistake in the introduction process, he would die. Every second counts.

Today, Pei Xian wore a flirty college-style poncho and when he ran, it was like two little wings were about to take off and followed beside him was a gracefully hopping alpaca as white as clouds seemingly like a fay in the children’s fairy tales.

Boss Gu pushed open the door of the reception hall with a bang and then picked up the blinking with big eyes little quail, walked to the sofa.

The guys’ jaws dropped down to their feet, who is this f*? What a beautiful look! Holy crap! Why is there a big white alpaca ah?

The childhood friend once again dared to ask, “So… Your mother gave you a little brother?”

“Your mother gave you a little brother!” Gu Han was so angry that he almost threw the ashtray on the other’s face. “Can’t you let me talk first?”

The childhood friend was so frightened that he shrunk back, “You say, you say, why you are still angry?”

Gu Han rolled his eyes and was about to speak, but heard the childhood friend cried out as if he discovered the New World: “F* me! I remembered! Why did he seem familiar? This kid looks like Xiao Yuhang! Lao Gu, it can’t be? Your kid has already grown up?!”

“Forget about it, I’ll kill you first!” Gu Han completely broke down and grabbed the childhood friend’s neck. He was pulled apart by the others’ quick hands.

Boss Gu was angered to the point of vomiting blood. Only at the thought of the system task, did he not throwing the childhood friend down from the 30th floor.

He took a deep breath, cleared his throat and held Pei Xian’s small hand. “This is Pei Xian, my new boyfriend and his pet alpaca, Gu Caocao.”

Pei Xian cleverly smiled and leaned his head right on Gu Han’s shoulder, with a shy look seemingly head over heels in love.

The “concern and care for villain’s IQ system” prompted:

[ Host’s identity introduction is judged as fail, please do it over. Three chances are left, please be careful. Task Countdown: 00:19:56 ]

Gu Han was shocked that such an entirely reasonable and serious introduction, why didn’t it pass?

He calmed down his mood and put his arms around Pei Xian. “This is Pei Xian, my long-time boyfriend and my pet alpaca, Gu Caocao.”

Pei Xian was a little blank, what is this situation? But he was very dedicated and softly responded, “Yes, I have known Hanhan for ten years.”

The dear friends all were digesting the “Xiao Yuhang’s lap dog had new boyfriend” news to suddenly became “Xiao Yuhang’s lap dog had already betrayed” ten years ago by two-timing with the next door’s primary schooler? This…. too much information was hard to digest!

The “concern and care for villain’s IQ system” prompted:

[ Host’s identity introduction is judged as fail, please do it over. Two chances are left, please be careful. Task Countdown: 00:17:23 ]

What the f*! That’s not good either? Gu Han turned into a panicky dog!

He broke down, held his forehead and gave up resistance as he murmured, “These two are my ancestors, aren’t they?”

The “concern and care for villain’s IQ system” prompted:

[ Host’s identity introduction is judged as fail, please do it over. One chance is left, please be careful. Task Countdown: 00:16:44 ]

No? Talking to yourself is considered one chance? Isn’t your system too harsh?

Everyone on the sofa craned their necks, at a loss what to do. Gu Han was still thinking of making big confession.

Eventually, Boss Gu had his thoughts straightened out and gently took Pei Xian’s hand, pulled Gu Caocao to the middle of them with a face that wrote ‘happy’. “This is my sort of intending to get certificate wife, Pei Xian. This beautiful and handsome alpaca is sort of my son, Gu Caocao.”

The water in the childhood friend’s big opened mouth which had not been swallowed slowly flowed out, like a fool looking at another fool….

The “concern and care for villain’s IQ system” prompted:

[Host’s identity introduction is judged as pass, you have successfully completed the task and obtained 5 unit of system energy. The current system energy is 9, please continue to persist! It’s everyone’s duty to love and protect Xianxian!
