Dijia stared at the water surface, feeling irritable in his heart.
“Who was it?” His fist tightened and then relaxed. He knew asking this question was inappropriate and intrusive, but he couldn’t help himself.
The young man lay in the bathtub lazily and looked up at the man. Under the man’s deep gaze, the young man just smiled, “I don’t know.”
Dijia frowned. “What do you mean you don’t know?”
“The lights were not turned on in the room the shadow was so dark I couldn’t see the face.” The young man said calmly. He turned over in the water, revealing his smooth back to the man.
The young man tightened his waist and extended his arm back, but finally gave up weakly.
He changed his arms to hold the wall, and knelt in the water with the help of the force at the bottom of the bathtub, facing away from Dijia. He stretched himself unreservedly and looked over at the solemn-faced man. “I’m exhausted, help me.”
Dijia’s heart skipped a beat, his pupils subtly contracting. “Help you with what?”
It couldn’t be what he was thinking, could it?
The young man tilted his head back, water dripping down his hair and onto his cheeks. The damp strands of hair softly clung to his neck, and his face, adorned with glistening droplets, exuded a fragrant charm. In this moment, he resembled an elf born in the forest, driven solely by the instinct of his body, free from any shame constrained by human moral norms.
Truly an enchanting fairy.
Dijia’s Adam’s apple rolled forcefully, a restless heat swirling within him.
The young man looked over with dewy eyes, raised his hand and gestured backward, his low, hoarse voice carrying a bewitching allure akin to that of a fairy. “Over there, if it’s not cleaned up, I might catch a cold. Please help me.”
Boom!
Dijia felt like he heard an explosion in his mind.
He stood still for two or three seconds before moving forward with a cold face, extending his tense and slender fingers.
The moment his fingers touched the young man’s skin, the young man shivered. “Ah, your hands are so cold. Put them in the water to warm up first, then help me. I feel uncomfortable like this.”
Dijia stared at the quivering skin beneath his fingertips, and his usually agile brain almost shut down.
‘Is this really human skin?
It’s like touching soft milk.’
Dijia’s breathing became a little heavier. He obediently put his hand into the warm water, but his eyes uncontrollably stayed glued to the young man.
It wasn’t until the young man asked, “Are you done yet?” that Dijia regained his composure from his daze, and placed his hand on the young man’s skin again.
The young man lifted his knees, urging, “Hurry.”
Dijia: “…”
His hands began to help the young man clean up unfamiliarly. Dijia was cautious and tilted his head to pay attention to the young man’s reaction.
The young man gripped the wall tightly with both hands, his neck stretched out like a dying swan, creating a taut and perfect curve on his back.
Seeing the young man’s indescribable reaction, Dijia’s breathing became heavier once again, and his voice became particularly huskier. “You enjoy it without even knowing who it is. Do you really have no sense of shame?”
He was taken to a dark room by an unknown man for more than four hours, and then he shamelessly let him tend to his wounds.
The last words he wanted to say were forcefully swallowed.
—Are you really so promiscuous?
Dijia pursed his lips tightly, and increased the pressure of his hands.
The young man suddenly sneered, turned his head and looked over with reddened eyes, a look of determination and mockery in his eyes. “What else? Haven’t you already learned what kind of person I am from President Li? I’ve been with countless people I even lost track of how many they are. What difference does one more or one less make?”
“What can I do if I don’t accept?”
“Call the police? Catch and throw the person into jail to protect myself?”
“And then what? I get kicked out of my home and end up on the streets? Then what do you think will happen to me? Street thugs might target me and drag me into dark alleys. Those who have tasted my body might seize this opportunity to imprison me, make me their private possession. The assailant’s relatives and friends might seek revenge and make my life worse than death.”
“Which of these three possibilities do you think is more favorable to me?”
“You are a high and mighty big shot, how would you understand the suffering of someone as lowly as me?”
“In the Fei family, I’m at least the second young master. But once I leave the Fei family, I am nothing.”
“You tell me, what can I do if I don’t enjoy it?”
“You saved me twice, thank you, but you don’t have to pity me with a condescending attitude. I won’t let you save me for nothing. How do you want me to repay you? I have no money, and even if I did, it wouldn’t be as much as yours. The only thing I can offer is my body. And you want me, don’t you?”
Dijia’s body stiffened; he hesitated in his cleaning actions, and avoided the young man’s clear and clean eyes.
“I don’t,” he swallowed hard, speaking somewhat dryly, “I don’t want you to repay me.”
The young man pushed away the man’s hand and turned in the water, once again facing Dijia. “I may be humble, but I don’t like owing favors. I can see it, you are interested in me. Don’t you want me, or is it because you find me dirty?”
“I’m not sick. I just went to the hospital a few days ago for a check-up. All my indicators are healthy. There’s no HIV, no hepatitis, no ulcer. I’m clean.”
Dijia’s complexion changed slightly, and he instinctively explained, “I don’t find you dirty.”
The young man raised his beautiful eyebrows. “Then let me repay you. I don’t like owing favors. Counting that incident in the banquet hall, you’ve saved me twice. Besides my life and organs, I’ll give you anything you want. After paying back, we’ll be even, and you shouldn’t interfere in my affairs anymore. You’ve seen it; we are not from the same world.”
“You are a high and mighty business tycoon, and I’m just a plaything for the rich. It’s best if we have no further connection. It’s good for both you and me. From now on, you better put away your hypocritical kindness and stay far away from me.”
The young man suddenly whispered something.
Dijia listened attentively, vaguely hearing words like “darkness” and “light.”
At this moment, he was still half crouched at the edge of the pool with outstretched hands. The young man’s words felt like heavy hammers, pounding in his mind one after another. A sharp pain pierced his chest, as if invisible claws were fiercely gripping his heart.
Dijia covered his chest in pain. “Enough, don’t say more. If you want to repay the favor, do it, but not with your body. I’ll tell you what I want after I’ve thought it over.”
Bai Lixin stared at the man’s complex expression, a faint gleam in his eyes.
S419M: [Lord Host, you’re really ruthless, are you trying to torture Lord God to death?]
Bai Li Xin: [He forced me first.]
S419M: [… ]
‘The plot of love and hate continues to unfold, I never get tired of it.
Is this the love among gods?
So strange.’
Bai Lixin: “When did you come to find me?”
Hearing the young man change the subject, Dijia did not continue the heavy topic from before and followed Bai Lixin’s line of thought, answering, “Around ten o’clock.”
Bai Lixin asked again, “You found me at twelve o’clock. Were you looking for me from ten to twelve?”
Dijia’s eyes showed confusion, then he shook his head, “No, I just arrived here. At ten, I noticed you were missing, but at that time, I thought you found staying on the balcony boring and went for a stroll. It was only later, around eleven, when Fei Taizong was still looking for you, that I realized you were missing. Since you don’t have a phone, I had to search bit by bit. Fei Taizong didn’t make it public, he was searching on his own. I suspected you might have come upstairs, so I came here.”
The young man scrutinized Dijia. “What were you doing before ten?”
Dijia’s eyes once again showed a fleeting look of confusion, “I was in the banquet hall the whole time.”
“Oh,” Bai Lixin looked at Dijia meaningfully, his gaze falling on the reddened wound on Dijia’s wrist. “How did you get the wound on your wrist?”
Dijia was slightly surprised. There was a noticeable pause when he saw the red scratch on his wrist. After a few seconds, he slowly said, “I don’t know, I probably accidentally scraped my wrist against the corner of the stairs while going up.”
‘He actually noticed the wound on my wrist, something I hadn’t even realized. Should I take it that he cares about me?’
Dijia’s heart skipped a few beats. He quickly pulled down the rolled-up sleeve to cover the red scratch wound, and said casually, “Don’t worry, it didn’t bleed.”
Bai Lixin: “…”
‘What am I worrying about? I caused that injury myself, okay?’
S419M: [Sigh…]
‘It is rare to encounter such a dominant character setting, but the Lord God defeated it himself.’
Boring, dull.
Humph!’
‘Sister System, are you okay over there?
I miss you so much; I’m almost nauseated by this sour smell now, wuuuu.’
“Although the lights weren’t on, you should have been able to see some details on that dark figure in four hours, right?” Dijia thought of something, and his expression suddenly turned cold. “Even though you don’t want to report to the police, I won’t let this matter go. I plan to acquire this hotel. If something like this happens in my hotel, I’ll take care of it.”
“Think carefully about the perpetrator’s features. You just need to tell me who he is; you don’t need to get involved. Leave the rest to me. I won’t let such a heinous person go free.”
Bai Lixin’s eye twitched. “May I ask, if you find that person, how do you plan to deal with him?”
Dijia’s gaze suddenly turned cold, and two chilling words were squeezed out of his mouth, “Cut it off!”
“Hehe,” Bai Lixin chuckled.
‘Awesome, great.
My man is truly outstanding.’
S419M: […]
A true warrior dares to face the past head-on, and dares to wield the knife for self-castration.
Lord God, I truly admire you.’
Bai Lixin: “I heard that this hotel is under the Zhang Group. When did it become yours? When did you acquire it?”
Dijia cleared his throat. “It hasn’t been acquired yet, but it’s only a matter of time. As long as I want, it will be mine after tonight.”
Bai Lixin: “Um, when did you have this idea?”
Dijia remained silent for two seconds. “Business secret, you don’t need to worry about it.”
‘Just now.’
It can be said that this acquisition is a stimulated expenditure of tens of billions.
