Chapter 196: Can I Call You Senior Tonight?
Chapter 196: Can I Call You Senior Tonight?
After a while, Tyler was done with his singing and had just gotten off the stage. He happened to glance at the male lead, who was squinting his eyes while looking at the door. He tilted his head and went to Lucas.
The public saw how Tyler went toward a particular alpha, who was even more powerful and famous, was stunned. One of them exclaimed and said, "Isn't that his highness Lucas?!"
"He really is! Then he is the one who marked Tyler?"
Some of them were confused because they had heard completely different news a few days ago.
"Hadn't Lucas married some other omega?!"
And as a result, a new rumor spread across the online platform after that: The second prince cheated on his omega wife!
But Tyler had nothing to do with this. Since the storyline made its way forward, he was almost relaxed despite knowing that he really hadn't finished all the arcs properly in the first 50% of the storyline. For instance, after seducing the male lead, Tyler was supposed to bring back a few fake boyfriends at home to make Lucas jealous. But before he could do that, his heat period came, and they got busy for a few days until the system knocked on his door.
He still remembered seeing a small error about how he had just skipped that part of the storyline, but the system didn't count it since the male lead fell in love with the one who was supposed to be the villain. So after that, whatever happened was redundant.
Since the storyline had just taken a different route, Tyler shrugged it off and stopped following it completely.
But right now, when he saw his senior's expression, he could tell something was off. So he silently opened the system and read through the storyline only to be surprised.
In this part of the story, the crown prince was supposed to snap pics of Lucas spending more time with that beta disguised as an omega in this bar. This news exploded online, leading to netizens scolding the second prince.
So Tyler could only assume that someone had come to snap his pics. But that didn't make sense. Why would someone snap the pics of a singer rather than recording how Tyler and the male lead interacted? He frowned, and a thought flashed in his mind.
The person who snapped the pics perhaps knew of his identity as Victor and was too shocked to react, snapping his pics and sneaking out of here.
And there was only one person who could do this: Josh.
So for some reason, this omega had sided with the crown prince and even came here to give Ian a hand in his crime. Even when Tyler stopped following the storyline, the arcs were still going well. Should he feel happy about it?
Just then, he heard a voice snapping him out of his thoughts. "What're you thinking about?"
The male lead's squint was gone and replaced by a smile on his face. Tyler shook his face and said, "Nothing."
If things were going to be similar to what had happened in the storyline, he should be prepared.
But when he thought of what would happen after this, he pursed his lips. The male lead and the original second lead were supposed to confront each other's identity in the bar after this. Of course, according to the original timeline, this should have happened after a week from the present time. But currently, Tyler knew that this arc of separation wouldn't take place since there was nothing to confront!
So that would mean they would directly go to the next arc: the kidnapping.
Ah, so he was going to be kidnapped by the crown prince and Josh. Was that why he was feeling unsettled and uneasy in his heart yesterday?
After that, they drank wine and came back home. Since Tyler was already going to be kidnapped, he should be at least prepared.
So Tyler and the male lead had dinner and prepared to sleep. Lucas also came to bed and gathered his legal partner in his arms, holding onto this person tightly. At this time, Tyler knew perfectly that maybe tomorrow, someone might come to kidnap him. So if things went well, this might not be their last night in this world. But if they faced a different situation, Tyler could tell that this might be their last together.
He pursed his lips and glanced at the male lead. In every world, due to his senior's occurrence, things would change so vastly that one of them would end up dying. Only in rare cases would they be able to spend their life together.
Even thinking about this sent a piercing pain in Tyler's heart, making his throat feel choked up. Would they ever be able to spend their time peacefully without following the storyline?! For a moment, he was thankful for the system to choose character mode for his senior. If it weren't for that, he knew that even his lover would be distressed about the storyline.
So it was better this way.
Suddenly, he felt someone grabbing his chin and raising his head. He met with his senior's worried expressions.
"Stop frowning."
"Sorry." Tyler knew everything was just his speculation, but he couldn't help it.
People might think he was weird. At first, he would only focus on following the arcs properly and neglect his lover's emotions. The next second, when he would stop following the arcs properly, he would end up completely neglecting the storyline to the point of forgetting all about the arcs and what might happen in the future only to see his senior.
But he wouldn't help it! He was tired of transmigrating in these worlds without getting peace of mind. Sometimes he would even think that he would have gone mad if it weren't for the appearance of his senior. And who knows, maybe he would have died for real.
So in a sense, the person before him really saved his life. So shouldn't he at least give this person a memorable goodbye in this world?
Tyler knew something was bound to happen the next day. He didn't expect everything to be normal and knew that his luck wasn't that good either. So after expecting worse, he smiled and said, "Can I call you senior tonight?"
