Chapter 1684

Jiang Sui turned out everything hidden here, recalling Lin Yu's various words just now, slightly uneasy and expectant, and did not secretly dispose of these things.

He laid out all his past and present dark thoughts, the most subtle unease, surveillance and probing, to show Jin Chen, his scorching gaze fixed on Jin Chen's brows and eyes, both expectant and frightened.

"What Lin Yu said is correct…" Jiang Sui said softly, kneeling on the carpet beside the sofa, lying on Jin Chen's knee, trembling gaze looking over each thing one by one.

"I've investigated you, surveilled you, also have lots of location data and… hired people to secretly film you; all your past life here has no secrets to me."

His voice was quiet and uneasy; his gaze toward Jin Chen was like an endless deep sea, boundless affection.

"I know."

Jin Chen said, closing that document, lightly placing his palm on Jiang Sui's cheek, "I know you're monitoring me, and I also know there's a tracker in the car."

Jiang Sui stared in surprise, lifting his head; his eyelashes brushed over Jin Chen's fingertip, a little itchy; he couldn't help blinking, and tears welled up.

As it turned out, he had known all along.

As it turned out… he knew everything.

Yet he never said it was wrong, nor showed any rejection or anger.

"But I'm a bad person; normal people wouldn't do this." Jiang Sui choked up a bit; he actually wanted to say he was a monster.

"No matter if you're bad or good, you're still mine; what does it matter?"

Jin Chen spoke slowly, tapping his forehead with a finger, "You haven't killed or set fires; you're not a bad person."

That's so hypocritical!

Jiang Sui suddenly fell silent, gazing at Jin Chen, then lowered his moist eyes, lightly kissing his palm.

"From now on there won't be any." Jiang Sui sat up and lay into his arms, "I'm not afraid anymore; I'll give you the freedom you deserve."

"You'll love me well, I know."

Jiang Sui, while speaking, picked up the Peace Buckle on his chest and gently rubbed it, then sniffed and tucked his head into his neck.

——

In a fit of madness, the monster almost harmed a human; after that, it finally realized this was wrong, and the monster's nature would cause the humans it loves to get hurt.

According to common human world standards, if it continues, the monster is very likely to lose all love.

The monster would not let any human die; thus he retracted his claws and nature, returning to his former self.

But the monster still wanted to test, opening up all its anxiety and timidity to humans, extending its fangs and ugly wings; that was the first time monster and human directly faced each other's differences.

In the vast abyssal shadow, the monster flapped its wings and lay on the ground, not daring to look at humans, fearing the result would be despair and rejection, until it felt those ugly wounds being gently stroked.

The monster heard the human say, "I've long known the monster is different, but the monster is my pet kept at home; what does it matter that it's different from others?"

At that moment, a bud sprouted in the monster's heart, nourished and growing endlessly by continuous love, blossoming.

The monster finally accepted its own uniqueness.

After Jiang Sui finished updating, he brushed through the comments under the latest chapter.

：Love‑brain monster and clueless human!

：Humans really aren't afraid of death, locked in the monster's nest and still unafraid; he really, he totally loves!

：The monster was so crazy before, yet just a head pat from a human calmed it down?? What a heart‑pounding, exasperated sigh!

：Why isn't the later story about humans hating the monster, desperately fleeing the nest, thereafter humans and monsters becoming enemies, the monster heading onto the irreversible path to destroy the world? This is totally your style, Sui senior!

Jiang Sui propped his chin, thinking; if it weren't for Jin Chen, he very likely… would truly embark on some irreversible path.

No, he shook his head; if he hadn't met Jin Chen, he would have already committed suicide.

Jiang Sui shut the computer, hurriedly walked to the study; Jin Chen had just opened an online quarterly summary meeting with the café staff, holding a tablet, not knowing what he was doing.

Only when he got close did he realize: he was actually looking at his comic update about humans and monsters.

"Do you really like this comic?" Jiang Sui asked, tilting his head to look at Jin Chen, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Mm‑hmm." Jin Chen smiled, glanced at him, pulling him into an embrace, "The little monster's image is very cute."

He put down the tablet, curled his fingers to lightly brush Jiang Sui's nose tip, "Humans also can't do without monsters."

"Huh?" Jiang Sui widened his eyes, the corners slightly blushing, "You know I drew this?"

"You weren't planning to hide it, huh; the manuscript drafts are scattered all over the house." Jin Chen chuckled, "Every day you can unlock a draft in a different place."

Jiang Sui lowered his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.

He knew he had no habit of tidying up papers; no wonder those drafts weren't thrown away—turns out Jin Chen had been collecting them every day.

"Before that… when you helped me speak online, you also knew I'm Sui."

"Of course." Jin Chen nodded, kissed his forehead, "It's not that I'm overly sympathetic to help strangers speak."

Jiang Sui's face grew redder.

He would absolutely never tell Jin Chen that he had inexplicably been jealous of himself.

"Well, never saying it—so embarrassing!"

"Right." Jiang Sui suddenly remembered something else, sitting in Jin Chen's lap, twisting to adjust into a comfortable pose, looking up at him and saying, "A publisher contacted me, wanting to publish the first volume of this comic; I've almost finished drawing it."

The monster has already found what it wanted; the later story is no longer about tugging and inner struggle, but about each day spent accompanying humans.

"Will you accompany me to sign the contract, okay?" Jiang Sui swayed Jin Chen's arm, cooing softly.

Jin Chen drew out his "hmm," smiling, "Let's see your performance."

"What performance?" Jiang Sui asked; after finishing, a sudden inspiration struck, and his feelings suddenly connected at a moment.

As if in silent assent, I lightly kissed Jin Chen's lips, my fingertips tracing his collarbone, "I know, it's... the unused beautiful decoration."

His cold white skin flushed with large patches of light red, he hooked Jin Chen's neck and lightly rubbed, "Can we not use the clip today...? It rubs against clothes, it's uncomfortable."

Clearly a pleading tone, yet when spoken softly it sounded exactly like a seductive succubus.

Jin Chen's hand brushed over the heated shoulder and neck, his low voice teasing, "Fine, you choose."

Jiang Sui: "……"

What the heck!

Who would be in a hurry to choose for themselves?

But when he was kissed until he was all mixed up, his muddled mind couldn't remember anything about being absolutely not allowed.

A few days later, Jin Chen suddenly discovered that the box was gone.

When Jiang Sui was asked, she shook her head and said she didn't know, didn't know, then glanced away with a soft hum.

From now on, there will be no more props at all!
