Chapter 17: Saving the Autistic Teen 17

Jin Chen's Adam's apple moved up and down regularly; the teenager's skin was smooth and fair, as if tempting him to explore further.

sweetheart, don't mess around.

He heard his own voice hoarse, as if flames and magma surged within his body, on the verge of eruption.

……No.

Ji Yan thought he found him annoying, pursed his lips, then moved in again for a kiss, his tone aggrieved.

No, I'm not annoyed.

This kiss was like a fuse; Jin Chen's reason burned to ash, and he captured the lips the teenager offered.

Mm……

Ji Yan did not resist, obediently hugging Jin Chen's neck, his eyes slightly closed.

He liked this feeling—being cherished and cared for.

But this kiss seemed not to be a mere taste and stop; Jin Chen's hand, placed on Ji Yan's lower abdomen, moved upward a little.

The teenager's breath grew gradually hot, feeling his body become strange, a sensation he had never experienced; he writhed uncomfortably in Jin Chen's embrace.

sweetheart, will you sleep with me tonight, okay?

Jin Chen affectionately kissed the teenager's trembling eyelids.

……Okay, okay.

A Chen... uncomfortable.

I'll help you.

Jin Chen picked up the teenager in a princess carry, no longer bothering with the unfinished emails, and walked toward the bedroom, his steps somewhat urgent.

Ji Yan leaned in his embrace, acting on instinct to seek kisses, his breath shallow, his almond eyes glistening.

0731 saw them enter the bedroom, immediately put on a brilliant smile, pulled the plug to go offline, and locked himself in the small dark room.

Cooked, cooked! The rice is cooked!

——

When Ji Yan woke up, the bedroom had only him in it.

Consciousness not yet returned, he thought he was in his own room; sitting up, he discovered he was naked, with a faint ache at his waist.

He lowered his head, saw the spots on his chest, and belatedly blushed.

A Chen...

Ji Yan lifted his gaze to the doorway, his almond eyes somewhat dazed and confused, he murmured softly.

Here you are, sweetheart.

Jin Chen walked out of the bathroom, apparently just having risen and washed up; a few strands of hair at his forehead were damp, his gaze toward the boy on the bed deep and indulgent.

Anywhere uncomfortable?

Ji Yan nodded, yawned, then reached out for a hug.

……My waist, uncomfortable.

Jin Chen half-leaned against the headboard, drew the teenager into his embrace, and massaged his waist.

sweetheart, how about moving to the master bedroom from now on?

Ji Yan squinted comfortably, still a bit drowsy, curled contentedly in the warm embrace, hearing this he did not object.

But when Jin Chen said to have the servant tidy the room, he suddenly became a bit clearer.

He grabbed Jin Chen's arm, thinking of the blade under his pillow, feeling nervous, yet not knowing how to speak.

He didn't want A Chen to know he was a bad person who would hurt others.

The thing under your pillow, I've already put it away.

Jin Chen, as if knowing what he wanted to say, gave a low laugh: 'Just hide it better next time; putting it under the pillow is too obvious.'

Ji Yan's eyes widened in astonishment.

……You, you know?

Jin Chen gestured for him to relax, gave a soothing kiss, then said: 'Who told Youyou can't hide things? I spotted it right away.'

As long as you don't use it to harm yourself, it's fine.

Ji Yan earnestly lifted his gaze to Jin Chen, finally nodded, then curled back into his embrace.

No longer needed, Ji Yan thought; with A Chen around, he would never again be abandoned or bullied, and need not live in fear.

【Detected Villain Blackening Value -10, total 25, Heartbeat Value +15, total 90.】

0731 just released himself from the small dark room, then saw the villain's emotional fluctuation, and instantly felt sweet beyond measure.

——

Ji family.

After Ji Weixue was hospitalized, the villa only had Ji Yu left, plus Bei Tai who occasionally came over to maintain their relationship.

Since the birthday banquet, Chen Jiang has never set foot in the Ji household again; Bei Tai, at his most interested in Ji Yu, relied on the family's resources to give the Ji family many projects.

Even if Ji Yu disliked Bei Tai, he could only feign compliance.

He was grateful that Bei Tai was not too bad-looking, just demanding; each time he came, the affection didn't last long before they had to talk about going to bed.

The techniques in bed were also...

Ji Yu expressionlessly got out of bed, supporting his sore waist as he walked into the bathroom, his body covered in wounds.

He glanced at Bei Tai smoking on the bed, his eyes flashing with disgust.

Soon... after the Oil Painting Competition, once I win first place and clear my name in A City, I can break up with Bei Tai.

Mother said it right; only when I have money and power will I be truly at ease.

Crack—

The bathroom door was twisted open; Ji Yu's expression flashed ferociously for a moment, which he suppressed himself, forcing a smile as he looked at Bei Tai.

I'm taking a shower, what are you doing coming in?

Let's shower together.

Bei Tai chuckled twice, his large hand pressed against Ji Yu's neck, applying slight pressure, 'How about it, not okay?'

Of course... mmm...

Ji Yu's neck was suddenly tightened a bit more, his face began to flush red, pleadingly, he placed both hands on Bei Tai's arm.

The shower turned on again; Ji Yu tilted his head back, allowing the sticky lips to kiss him, his lowered hand about to be pinched until it bled.

After Bei Tai left, it was already 2 p. m.

Ji Yu had completely lost any appetite, casually took two bites, then shut himself in the studio.

Looking at the oil painting he had picked up, his dull eyes finally gained some light.

He had already asked everyone in the Villa; they all said they didn't know the woman in the painting, so it must be a character Ji Yan imagined, and he therefore had no need to worry.

He also knew Ji Yan's level; over the past two years, having been suppressed by himself, his painting skill had greatly declined, and even if he repainted something similar, he couldn't match his own work from two years ago.

I will definitely get first place.

—

The day of the Oil Painting Competition arrived quickly.

After Jin Chen arranged the affairs for these days, he brought Ji Yan to Didu, where the original owner's property was plentiful, thus saving the need to stay in a hotel.

These two days Ji Yan has been showing great excitement.

Jin Chen had a psychologist test him; although there were still some stress and fearful language reactions, it was already much better than before.

He could also begin to express his thoughts, rather than keeping everything bottled up inside.

Such changes, Jin Chen naturally welcomed them.

sweetheart, the competition is tomorrow, are you nervous?

Jin Chen fed the boy a spoonful of pudding, his tone gentle.

……A little, the boy licked his lips contentedly, 'Not afraid, Ah Chen is here.'

Mm, I'm here, not afraid.

Jin Chen felt utterly pleased in his heart, finding the boy adorable in every way, but these past two days, preoccupied with having him create works for submission, he never managed to finish.

After the competition ends, I'll take you on a trip, okay?

Ji Yan responded with a delighted nod.
