Chapter 170: Don't Even Think About Running

Perhaps because of the excessive amount of drugs inhaled, Ling Wu was exceptionally high-spirited once night fell. He sat on the chair in the bathroom, admiring Yin Huaiyu's posture of begging for mercy and submission. By the second half of the night, as the drug's effects faded, Yin Huaiyu was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep...

Ling Wu screwed the showerhead back on and turned on the faucet. Hot water gushed out, washing over the floor and diluting the scent of the photinia flowers. When those water droplets accidentally splashed onto Yin Huaiyu, he shuddered twice, his brows slightly furrowed.

The clean water mixed with the blood and white mottled stains on the floor, flowing together into the drain.

"Click!"

The sound of a lighter rang out.

Ling Wu bit down on a cigarette and washed his hands.

At this moment, the east was already turning white; the faint morning light shone upon the distant sea level, seagulls were flying, and the wind and waves were calm.

Ling Wu found the first-aid kit in the room, spread it out casually on the floor, took out gauze and medicinal powder, sprinkled it over the several wounds on Yin Huaiyu's arms, and then bandaged them perfunctorily.

And it was at this time that Yin Huaiyu woke up. When he opened his eyes, his pupils were unfocused; he rubbed against the back of Ling Wu's hand like a wounded little beast. Only upon seeing the light seeping in from outside the window did he realize he had passed through an absurd and painful night.

It was both painful and pleasurable... too stimulating.

Ling Wu was very satisfied with his subconscious display of reliance and obedience: "Yin Huaiyu, you wouldn't still be immersed in the role, would you?"

"What a wonderful night." Yin Huaiyu's voice was very hoarse and dry. His Adam's apple rolled as he looked at Ling Wu's profile, his gaze falling on the movements of him bandaging his wounds, and he teased: "It seems the great Magician has a soft-hearted side after all."

【Ding! Favorability +3】

Ling Wu's goal was achieved.

Yin Huaiyu's words had just fallen.

Ling Wu pinched his wound hard, and fresh blood instantly stained the gauze red: "You had best not be glib with me."

"Yes... I know your methods best." Yin Huaiyu struggled twice, his face deathly pale, the corners of his lips curling into an arc, his peach-blossom eyes filled with stubbornness that refused to yield: "It's only been one night, and you've already left me spellbound and craving more."

Ling Wu pinched his chin with two slender fingers: "You like it? Then go find someone else to keep playing with."

"If Young Master Yin wants to revel in pleasure every night, there are plenty of people in all of Beidu City who would rush to follow."

Yin Huaiyu's tone was languid: "That's different. Substitutes are ultimately just substitutes; they are all things that cannot be brought into the light."

"How could they compare to you?"

"Just seeing you makes me incredibly excited."

"Hah." Ling Wu sneered: "Yin Huaiyu, have time to go get your brain treated."

You're sick!

The amorous tide within Yin Huaiyu had faded, but that soul-stirring pleasure kept him trapped in last night. He pursed his dry, cracked lips, the corners of his eyes flushed with a deep red: "Good brother, your words are hurtful. It was you who made my feelings for you incurable; shouldn't you be responsible for me?"

He had dropped his disguise, the arc of his lips slightly raised, looking somewhat mocking and acerbic.

"There are plenty of people who like me." Ling Wu leaned his back against the wall, holding his cigarette wearily between two fingers, and said as he exhaled a smoke ring: "If I were responsible for every one of them, do you think this place is a marriage and dating shelter?"

Yin Huaiyu was drenched in sweat: "How could that be."

Yin Huaiyu stared at Ling Wu with naked eyes. The beast sleeping within his body began to restlessly extend its claws and fangs. The youth's features were shrouded in smoke, his expression both cold and lustful, his neck slender—very suitable for being licked, bitten, and marked with hickeys. If one were to be a little rougher, it would be just like abusing him.

His outward appearance gave people a feeling of being conspicuous and frail.

When such a thin, easily bullied body was under his control, how much would it tremble? I'm afraid his pupils would lose focus, and he wouldn't even be able to stay on his knees...

But this was actually extremely deceptive.

Because Ling Wu himself had nothing to do with the word "frail."

Yin Huaiyu raised an eyebrow: "One move off, you had best pray you don't fall into my hands. Otherwise, I will certainly repay you a thousandfold for what happened last night. Even if you cry then, I won't stop."

"Huh?" Ling Wu found it ridiculous and lowered his head slightly: "Young Master Yin, is there some mistake? Wasn't it you who cried the loudest last night?"

"The video is proof; you cannot deny it."

He waved his phone at Yin Huaiyu.

"You had best behave yourself and never come to provoke me again from now on. Otherwise, I can have these videos appear on everyone's phone in Beidu City in a matter of minutes. By then, everyone will know about your fetishes, Young Master Yin."

Yin Huaiyu: "So what?"

He looked very indifferent, his tone wanton and unrestrained: "Even if everyone in Beidu City knows, they would only call me a dissolute playboy."

"With a reputation like mine, there are pros and cons. Let them judge as they please. I, Yin Huaiyu, am not some chaste woman. Besides, how many lives do they have to dare gossip behind my back?"

The atmosphere fell silent.

Ling Wu gave him a deep and subtle look.

It was hard to find someone who could speak so "shamelessly" in such a fresh and refined way.

Ling Wu had miscalculated only one thing: Yin Huaiyu's skin was thicker than a city wall!

【Young Master Yin, if your skin were used as construction material, it would definitely stand firm!】

【05: I can't even be bothered to talk about you...】

【It's so satisfying, even better than watching porn. Author, you drew it very well. Remember to move that death-mosaic away next time. Is there anything I, a VIP, cannot see?】

【Let's just say, this bathroom must smell very strong. If someone walked in, they would definitely understand in a second. Hurry up and hide him!】

【I think the aphrodisiac was Yin Huaiyu's own doing. He never cared who drugged him from start to finish; he just wanted to do it with the supporting male character. Truly shameless!】

【Yin Huaiyu: I picked up the aphrodisiac and poured it into my mouth at the time.】

"Knock!"

"Knock!"

"Knock!"

The room door was knocked on rhythmically.

Ling Wu had just put the first-aid kit back in its place. He suddenly straightened his half-bent waist and shot a knife-like glare toward the bathroom. The latter was trapped in the chair, light and shadow falling upon his face, and he shrugged innocently.

As if to say this matter had nothing to do with him.

Yin Huaiyu leaned lazily against the back of the chair. His shirt buttons had long been torn off, revealing his sturdy chest and mermaid line. The originally smooth fabric had become messy and full of wrinkles, mottled with bloodstains. Yet, he wore an expression of complete satisfaction. One look and it was obvious what had happened...

"Hey, Ling Wu, don't look at me with that kind of gaze. I've already been tamed by you, how could it be me?" Yin Huaiyu was dissatisfied: "Don't go around wrongly accusing people without evidence."

"This is clearly some ill-intentioned man you provoked outside who covets you."

Otherwise, who else would come knocking at the door just as the sky is turning bright?

Seeing Ling Wu not speaking, his back busy with something that looked like organizing a medical kit, Yin Huaiyu volunteered, "Don't be angry."

"Do you find it annoying that this group of people pesters you all day? How about this, I'll give you an idea: open the door and let him in. We're both men; I believe that once he sees me dressed like this, he'll understand everything."

Afterwards, he feigned a sigh: "It's just a pity that I'll have to sacrifice my lifelong reputation and be misunderstood as the one on the bottom... but it doesn't matter, who told me to like you?"

It was truly spoken with deep affection.

Ling Wu didn't even intend to open the door; playing dead would suffice.

He could not let Yin Huaiyu have his way.

The knocking outside stopped as expected, and Ling Wu walked back into the bathroom, untied the cloth strips binding Yin Huaiyu, and said in a cold voice, "Leave quickly once you've had your fun. If you don't want me to throw you into the sea, go back to your own room, understand?"

Yin Huaiyu nodded obediently, panting heavily as he said, "Good brother, you can't possibly let me leave wearing these clothes. If someone sees me coming out of your room and word gets out that you're a perverted sadist, how unpleasant that would sound."

"At least find me some clothes."

Ling Wu tilted his chin slightly: "Walk-in closet, go find them yourself."

"Oh."

Having been tied up all night, Yin Huaiyu stood up only to have his vision go black from the excessive blood loss; his knees went weak and he fell to his knees with a thud right beside Ling Wu's feet, subconsciously wrapping his arms around his lower legs.

Uh...

Even Yin Huaiyu couldn't help but feel a little awkward at this moment.

"An accident."

Ling Wu kicked him away: "Get dressed and leave quickly."

He sat on the sofa, and just as Yin Huaiyu walked out dressed impeccably, the knocking at the door sounded again; this time it was somewhat urgent, clearly not the same person as before.

"Knock! Knock-knock-knock!"

Yin Huaiyu spoke lazily: "Open the door, avoidance is no solution. Doesn't our great Magician understand this principle?"

In just a few short minutes, he had changed his form of address several times, full of mockery.

After speaking, he prepared to open the door.

Seeing him like this, Ling Wu knew this person was about to act recklessly, and alarm bells rang in his heart; before Yin Huaiyu could open the door, he raised his leg and kicked him down, using enough force that the pain prevented him from getting back up immediately.

He coughed a few times, nearly coughing up blood foam.

"Ugh..."

His body slammed into the floor, knocking over the shelf by the door and causing a crashing sound.

The person outside seemed to have heard it, and the knocking became even more intense; Ling Wu's phone soon received a call from Jin Shaoyu, and he threw the phone onto the sofa, confirming through the peephole that the person outside was indeed Jin Shaoyu.

Ling Wu efficiently tied Yin Huaiyu back to the chair, locked him in the bathroom, balled up the dirty shirt he had changed out of, stuffed it firmly into his mouth, and patted his cheek, saying, "Don't think about escaping, someone will come in a moment to take you away."
