I'm Scattering IQ to the Protagonist

Su Yu sat back in the palace carriage and only just realized that since the beginning, the little ball had been completely silent. It was a strange, pensive silence too. In a rare bought of kindness, he took initiative to speak to Round Ball, ”Whatʼs the matter? Were you shocked by something?”

”No, I just suddenly thought that I should change my name.” The little ball shook itself. It still hadnʼt recovered from the idiocy it had just witnessed.

”Oh?” Su Yu lifted an eyebrow, and then deliberately teased, ”Are you planning to change it to 【Host Scatters IQ to Me】 system?” 2

The little ball gave a helpless glance at its wicked host and then refuted in the same wicked manner, ”Nope. According to the debacle I just witnessed, I think the name 【Saving the World】 is more suitable for me.” 1

For some reason, Su Yu inexplicably felt like after teasing Round Ball for so long, he had just been hit back with a taste of his own medicine. But, that could only be an illusion. And so, Su Yu smiled very cooperatively, agreeing with sincerity, ”This name really is very suitable for a naive little ball like you.”

”.....” Round Ball who had initially thought it won this round has been defeated by its hostʼs scary shamelessness.

When Su Yu returned to the palace, Gan Qi was still working in the imperial study. According to the servant who was currently on duty, Gan Qi had spent a full two hours in there, not allowing anyone to enter.

When the servant saw Su Yu, he was so relieved he almost cried. ”Han Gong Gong, youʼve finally came back!”

”Itʼs alright, Iʼm here now. You can go rest.” Su Yu waved the servant away and then stood outside the study. However, he did not go in to see Gan Qi, but rather turned around and headed directly for his own dwelling.

Now that his lover was on the verge of blackening, how could he take any chances of lessening the impact??

On the inside, Gan Qi had been carefully paying attention to what was happening outside. When he heard Su Yuʼs voice, his irritability and depressed mood finally eased. However, no matter how long he waited, his object of affection didnʼt come in to see him.

Once he thought of his heartʼs darling staying so long at the 7th Royal Palace, only just now coming back but not even coming in to see him, the barely repressed negativity and dark mood instantly came back. ”Pah” – the brush in Gan Qiʼs hand snapped in half.

Within Gan Qiʼs dark eyes surged all kinds of complex and difficult emotions, but soon these emotions were pressed down until only an unfathomable depth remained. At this moment, Gan Qi finally made a decision.

”Servants, come.” Gan Qi threw away the broken brush in his hand, his voice dark and low.

When he arrived back at his own dwelling, Su Yu had no idea of the storm heʼd just left behind, and that his actions actually led to the direct blackening of his lover. Having exerted so much energy, he felt very tired and so, after a little washing up, Su Yu directly went to bed.

When he finally woke up from his refreshing nap and was preparing to give a lazy stretch, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Su Yu shook his wrist and a crisp noise sounded. He squinted his eyes and his face became pensive.

If his eyes did not deceive him, then right now he was wearing a silver cuff on his wrist. The cuff was connected to a silver chain that glinted faintly in the dark, and Su Yu could see that the silver chain extended past the dragon carvings and onto one of the sturdy bedposts of the dragon bed.

Also, it seems that it wasnʼt just his wrist – there was a chain on his ankle too.....

”Master Host, youʼve finally woken up! Do you know just how scary it was, the Male Protagonist, he actually...” The little ball jolted up at the sight of Su Yuʼs awareness and immediately began crying and weeping. However, just as it was really getting into the mood, it was interrupted by Su Yuʼs hand swatting it away. Round Ball almost choked itself to death.

Su Yu gave Round Ball a profound look, and then said with a little excitement, ”Itʼs just the Male Protagonist blackening and then chaining me to his bed, whatʼs there to scream about?”

Round Ball swayed, and then had to admit that it was true. But why did this scary thing suddenly seem so trivial coming out of its hostʼs mouth?

So in the end, why had it worried for so long just now?

”Iʼm going to redeem a prop.” Su Yu broke the silence with such a sentence.

Round Ball immediately regained its senses and asked excitedly, ”Okay! What type of prop does Master Host need? I can help you find the best one very quickly!”

Round Ball was very happy to see this kind of behavior. Before, Su Yu never showed any interest in the item mallʼs props. The only time he had purchased a prop had been to verify the Male Protagonistʼs identity.

Now that its familyʼs host actually took initiative to redeem a prop, Round Ball suddenly felt the hallucination that it was actually quite useful. But... why was it that something didnʼt seem quite right?

”Find me a prop that makes it impossible for one to get hard. However, it canʼt have any lasting harm to the body, and the effect should go away in 3-5 days.” Su Yu slowly lifted the corner of his mouth. It was finally time to settle all accounts with his lover, and he will certainly take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. 1

Round Ball was still considering what could possibly go wrong when it heard Su Yuʼs words, and it directly fell to the ground. It rolled around, making a ʼguuʼ sound. What, what, what! What had it heard just now!!

”Hmm? You didnʼt understand my words? Is this the extent of your usefulness? You should be able to understand such simple words,” As Su Yu teased the little ball, he shook his wrist and examined the cuff. It was a delicate silver ring, with two butterflies engraved on it. He had to admit, even though this ring was cuffed to him, Su Yu was very satisfied with the design. ”Or is your item mall actually so lacking, it doesnʼt even have this kind of everyday prop?”

The little ball struggled to get up from under the dragon bed, and felt that its three worldviews were once again completely refreshed. Heavens, Earth, ah, what a terrible host it had!!

But even though its heart was completely collapsed, Round Ball still dutifully answered Su Yu, ”I... I just searched. There are 5 props in the mall which meet Master Hostʼs requirements. Of them, there are 2 that donʼt have any side effects. One must be ingested orally, and the other is applied, cough, externally. They both have the same duration – 3 days – and cost the same amount, 5 IQ points.”

Su Yu thought about it seriously. ”Give me the oral one, itʼs more convenient.”

The little ball flashed through a series of chaotic lights as it helped Su Yu exchange for the prop. Its brain was a mess and it felt it really was about to be killed by its own host.

After getting the prop, Su Yu checked it over to ensure that there were no problems. Then, he applied it on his lips and turned around, going back to sleep.

Donʼt ask him why he dares to apply this thing so boldly and casually on himself. Even without it, he probably wouldnʼt get hard in this lifetime.

When Su Yu once again woke up, it was the the bleary confusion of being touched by Gan Qiʼs big hands. Those hands were so hot that it was very difficult for Su Yu to ignore.

Gan Qi sat on the edge of the bed and looked down at the sleeping face of his heartʼs darling. Seeing the other open his eyes confusedly, his hand gave a start and stopped its movement, his heartbeat also sped up.

Although he had made a decision, actually carrying it out was still a bit nerve-wracking. It was inevitable that he felt rather panicked, to the point that he couldnʼt quite meet the eyes of his beloved.

”Your Majesty?” Su Yuʼs voice was a little hoarse, as if he didnʼt completely understand his situation.

”Youʼre awake? How does your body feel?” Gan Qi swallowed uncontrollably, but his face displayed a calm look.

”This servant is alright, how did I end up....” Su Yu shook his head in bewilderment, and just as he was about to climb up from the dragon bed, a crisp sound rang out. He looked down and immediately froze at what he saw. ”This... Whatʼs going on here?”

Gan Qi reached out his hands and slowly lifted Su Yuʼs chin up, his voice which was always calm actually carried a slight tremor, ”Lilʼ Shun, if Zhensays that Zhen has always cherished you in my heart, what would you say?”
