Quick Transmigration: Yandere Male Leads? Hand 'Em Over! - Chapter 156

There were only four words that could describe how Yu Che felt right now:

Sweating. Buckets.

Even fighting over the dragon in the world finals hadn’t made him this nervous.

Seriously, why didn’t Su Xu ever mute his phone during class? What was going through that guy’s head?

Was it so he could reply to messages in a split second?

Now if Yu Che turned off the ringtone, it’d look way too deliberate—like he was guilty and trying to hide something.

His lashes cast a faint shadow beneath his lowered eyes, making those dark irises appear even clearer and more innocent.

“Really? What a coincidence. I’m kind of sentimental, you know? I’ve had this old phone for years, and I just can’t bring myself to get rid of it. That’s why I still carry it around.”

What he really wanted to ask was—

“Exactly how many so-called little brothers do you have?”

But he held back. After all, he didn’t even have a proper claim to that title himself right now.

Meanwhile, Su Xu had already used the bank card Yu Che gave him to buy the latest flagship phone and full accessories set from a major brand—and also picked up some anti-diarrheal meds at the pharmacy.

To be fair, the balance on that card… those endless zeros… probably outnumbered the population of an entire city in southwest China.

Borrowing the store manager’s phone, Su Xu tried to call Yu Che to ask about his sister. But the call was instantly declined!

Still, since Yu Che never answered unfamiliar numbers either, Su Xu just assumed he was too busy gaming to pick up.

So he dialed Su Ci directly.

“Hey Sis, it’s Yu from C University’s Software Engineering. I was just—”

Before Yu Che could finish self-introducing, Su Ci’s phone rang.

He was cut off again.

Yu Che wanted nothing more than to cuss out whatever psychopath was making spam calls at this hour. What were they selling—pyramid schemes? Insurance?

Do they not sleep? It’s ten-thirty at night, for god’s sake!

But he was wrong this time. It wasn’t a telemarketer.

Because the girl answered—and her expression, which had started out confused, softened immediately.

“No, I’m fine. You should go home and rest early…”

“You’re coming over now? Isn’t it a little late? There’s still half an hour before campus curfew, but the lock’s broken. You’ll have to help me fix it if you want to come in.”

“Why the sudden urge to show up with a surprise?”

Yu Che stood there with a dark expression, listening to the whole thing.

This sea queen of an older sister looked soft and sweet on the outside—how could she be like this? He’d just eaten supper with her, and now she was already inviting another “little brother” over?

What was this, a live performance?

And that so-called “little brother” could fix door locks, apparently.

Oh, so he’s been here before, huh? Knows his way around?

So much for their special night alone—gaming, watching movies, listening to music…

All ruined by that uninvited bastard.

Just imagining how, once the door was fixed, he’d be the one getting kicked out while another man got to stay and… do unspeakable things with her—

Yu Che was furious just thinking about it.

He clenched his fists and forced himself to ask in a neutral tone:

“Is someone else coming over, Sister? Won’t it be awkward if he sees me here?”

When Su Ci comforted him, it was like soothing a bristling cat. Her warm demeanor and earnest tone made it impossible to feel brushed off.

“Mm, he’s outside. He can’t make it back before curfew, so he’s crashing here for the night. Don’t worry, he’s a bit older than you—he should be the one making room.”

Yu Che’s handsome face darkened even further.

What did she mean “a bit older”?

What did she mean “should let him have his way”?

He didn’t need anyone to give way. When he liked something, he fought for it—and won. No one could out-snatch Yu Che!

For just a moment, the part of his face hidden in the shadows twisted with cold fury.

But he quickly adjusted his expression.

“It’s probably rude of me to say this about a fellow guy, but Sister, I just think you should be careful. Any man who shows up in the middle of the night probably doesn’t have good intentions.”

Like hell someone was bringing a “surprise” at this hour. What kind of broke college student couldn’t make it back before curfew? Couldn’t even afford a cab?

So he’s too poor to go back to his dorm…

But he has enough cash to stay the night and seduce a woman?

His intentions couldn’t be more obvious.

Yu Che’s brain spun rapidly. Just as he was about to come up with a valid excuse to stay, the doorbell rang.

Su Xu called through from outside:
“Sis? Are you still awake? Can I come in?”

He’d occasionally crash here, but he always asked first to make sure she was okay with it.

“I’m up. Try the lock from outside—see if it works now.”

Su Ci stood and walked to the door, shielding the display screen. She thought Yu Che would follow her, but instead she heard a loud crash from behind.

A panicked voice called out from the other room:
“Sister! My stomach hurts—I’m gonna use the bathroom! Y-you and your new little brother go ahead and talk!”

Su Ci couldn’t help but laugh.

The room he’d darted into—

That was her bedroom.

Hope he didn’t scare himself in there.

She disengaged the anti-touch lock feature. Outside, Su Xu entered the password, and the door clicked open without any issues.

He scratched his head. “Weird, the lock’s working fine. Did you press something wrong, Sis?”

“Must’ve been me. I probably hit the wrong thing.”

She handed him a pair of slippers.

Su Xu stepped in and switched into them. As he carried a gift box into the living room, his eyes landed on the half-eaten spread on the coffee table.

“Whoa, why’d you order so much? Did you know I was coming? Feels nice having hot food ready.”

He popped a shrimp dumpling into his mouth.

“Oh, right—this too!”

Su Xu handed over the bag.

“Sis, I bought you a new phone! And matching Bluetooth earbuds, wireless charger… Try it out—great for gaming!”

The best stuff always went to his sister. It was a virtue their dad had drilled into them from a young age.

As for him? Her hand-me-downs were plenty good enough.

Meanwhile, in the dark bedroom, Yu Che cracked open the door and confirmed the familiar voice outside was indeed Su Xu—and nearly passed out from rage.

Roommates running into each other at a girl’s place in the middle of the night? Now that was dramatic.

He’d actually been feeling a little guilty, wondering how to explain showing up at his teammate’s online lover’s apartment.

But then he saw Su Xu presenting a gift bought with Yu Che’s own card—and shamelessly passing it off as a surprise for Sea Queen Sis.

That level of audacity was unreal.

With his excellent vision, Yu Che could make out Su Ci’s smiling face even in the dark.

He felt like someone had stolen his wife.

That approving, delighted gaze—should’ve been his reward. Even the milk tea and supper tonight—he’d ordered those. But Su Xu was taking the credit.

All that effort… just to hand it over to someone else.

Furious, Yu Che slammed his fist against the wall.

The bedroom door banged shut—and in the process, he accidentally flipped the ceiling light switch.

Bright light suddenly filled the room, making him squint. Once his eyes adjusted, Yu Che froze.

The room wasn’t large, but every inch of it was plastered with solo posters of him. Official merch from the team, custom prints, fan art—everything.

On the desk, her keyboard had custom keycaps that matched his own. There were acrylic stands, photo cards, even a wallpaper of him on her computer.

Pillows, tapestries, stickers, calendars… every item with a design bore either his real photo or chibi character image.

To be precise, it wasn’t him.

It was DE.YuChe, the confident, commanding figure from the esports arena.

It was all too surreal. For a moment, Yu Che wondered if he’d hallucinated everything from rage.

His heart pounded so fast he nearly fainted.
