“Brother, you’re down? Where’s Xiao Shi?”
Xing Wei said.

Xing Jun put the milk and food on the dining table. He said: “I just went to Shi Xueqing’s room to check on him. He said he wasn’t feeling well and wanted to sleep a little longer.”

“Ah? Not feeling well how? Does he need to go to the hospital?” Xing Wei asked.

“No need. Hangover and a bit of a cold,” Xing Jun said, responding to the hesitation of the others regarding the itinerary. “You guys go play, I’ll stay and take care of him.”

“Alright then. Brother, with you here, I’m completely relieved.” Xing Wei really wanted to go diving, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Xing Jun faced the group without any abnormality.

Xing Jun ate breakfast very quickly. After the group left, he took two breads and a glass of milk upstairs. He remembered to ask the waiter to heat up the milk.

As soon as he opened the door, a rich, entangled scent hit him in the face. Even though the window had been opened, the smell hadn’t faded.

It showed how crazy last night was.

Many things used last night were thrown messily on the floor. Xing Jun picked up a few heavy items and threw them into the trash can.

Each one told the story of what he did last night.

After throwing the things away, he saw Shi Xueqing was still asleep. The young man was curled up in the quilt, seemingly with tear stains still on his face.

Expressionlessly, Xing Jun lifted the quilt to admire Shi Xueqing’s body. Shi Xueqing’s body was covered in bruises, his lips red and swollen.

Shi Xueqing’s legs were also curled up awkwardly, obviously uncomfortable.

He actually did that kind of thing with Shi Xueqing on an impulse.

Alcohol relaxed the restraints on his will, making him do things he absolutely wouldn’t do usually.

Xing Jun’s character was fundamentally ruthless. Back then, to fight for the family property with his beastly father and vicious stepmother, he used all kinds of gray methods. He had long learned to become a ruthless person who would stop at nothing for his goals and ignore the needs of others. Now looking at Shi Xueqing’s body, instead of empty guilt, he thought more about the fact that it was already done anyway.

Drunken incidents didn’t happen every day. And Xing Jun didn’t intend to blame this on being drunk. Even if alcohol made him lose a bit of self-control, didn’t he want to do this deep down in his heart?

Even if he hadn’t done it yesterday. He would have done it sooner or later.

Xing Jun had always been like this about what he wanted, striking ruthlessly without mercy. He always took responsibility for his ruthless actions and never shirked it.

And Shi Xueqing was what he wanted most right now.

Thinking it through, he picked up the quilt and covered Shi Xueqing again. When his palm touched Shi Xueqing’s skin, Xing Jun found that he had developed a taste for it.

His palm still remembered how slim Shi Xueqing’s waist was and how it felt when pinched in his palm. Shi Xueqing’s skin was also soft and smooth, completely different from his own hard skin accustomed to fitness and training.

Shi Xueqing was white all over, but his mouth was bright red, even more moist when overflowing with saliva.

His legs were long, but his ligaments were good, and his whole body was very flexible.

His crying sounded good too.

Someone like Shi Xueqing was born to be more suitable for seducing men.

Xing Jun felt restless again. He thought that since the last time ended not long ago, doing it again now should be easy.

But Shi Xueqing was still asleep, unaware of his reaction. Shi Xueqing had been tired all night; Xing Jun thought he shouldn’t be a beast.

Coincidentally, an urgent message came from the company; there were matters to handle. Xing Jun glanced at the message, thought about Shi Xueqing not waking up yet, and decided to deal with company affairs first.

Before leaving, looking at Shi Xueqing’s sleeping face, he reached out again and touched his face.

Shi Xueqing unable to move last night, biting his lip with tears in his eyes, letting him do whatever he wanted, was actually quite endearing.

There was no suitable desk for work in the suite’s living room, and the meeting would be loud. Xing Jun thought for a moment and took his laptop to the coffee shop downstairs to work.

Looking at the complex numbers, he handled official business while thinking about what exactly was on his mind.

Since he had reached this step with Shi Xueqing, he should push the action to the next step.

What was the purpose of the next step?

Outside on the beach, several couples came and went. Xing Jun took a sip of coffee, watching their figures, thinking he didn’t want to be a couple with Shi Xueqing.

Shi Xueqing claimed to be straight; although his performance in bed was amazing, the word “couple” should be quite absurd to Shi Xueqing himself.

Of course, he didn’t care much about Shi Xueqing’s own opinion. He was just considering his own purpose.

Finally, Xing Jun reached two conclusions.

First, he didn’t want Shi Xueqing to find anyone else.

Second, he wanted to maintain a long-term, stable physical relationship with Shi Xueqing.

——After tasting the marrow, one knows no satisfaction.

Thinking of this, he packed up his computer and returned to his suite.

The suite still had a strong smell. Before leaving, Xing Jun hung a “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door handle to prevent the cleaner from disturbing Shi Xueqing’s rest.

So that blushing, heart-pounding smell lingered. Anyone entering this room could smell what they did last night, how much they sweated, and how much fluid was secreted.

But when he turned on the light, Xing Jun was stunned, and his face gradually darkened.

The bed was still messy, but the bedroom was empty. Shi Xueqing’s wrinkled clothes thrown on the floor were also gone.

——Shi Xueqing ran away.

Xing Jun immediately set off to knock on Shi Xueqing’s door. He rang the doorbell three times, but there was no response from inside.

…

Shi Xueqing ran away, but of course not far. He was now on a Pacific island, not in the mainland US.

Actually, when Xing Jun was preparing to go work, he had already woken up. But attacked by huge confusion, his mind went blank, so he could only pretend to sleep.

…In the end, he really fell asleep. Fortunately, he woke up again before Xing Jun came back.

Stumbling down from the bed, with a sore waist, trembling legs, and a painful butt, he ran away with his clothes.

Not running much, just an elevator ride away, stealthily, afraid of being discovered with marks on his body.

Then, he returned to his own room.

His waist was so sore, legs so soft, butt so painful, lower abdomen bloated——from the moment he closed the door, Shi Xueqing finally began to clearly realize his feelings. Clutching his stomach, he collapsed onto the sofa unsteadily.

He felt the muscles on his body still twitching. Without stopping.

He was a bit dizzy and bewildered, not knowing what he was thinking, his head still aching from the hangover.

Suddenly, a hallucination seemed to appear before his eyes. A tall man with wheat-colored skin stood in front of him, his shadow covering him.

The man lowered his head and held his arm, pressing his hand above his head. Shi Xueqing was scared stiff, but the man used this gap to approach Shi Xueqing, lowering his head, his dark eyes showing unhidden, intense, forceful possessiveness.

Then the scene changed to the scene in Xing Jun’s room last night. Shi Xueqing lay on his back, almost breathless. In the chaos, he lowered his head with difficulty, feeling sweat all over his chin and collarbone.

He saw Xing Jun’s robust pectoral muscles and wheat-colored abs. Unlike his usual cold and arrogant appearance, Xing Jun gritted his teeth, sweat from his forehead flowing down his cheeks.

Shi Xueqing was suddenly a bit dazed; was the sweat on him his own or Xing Jun’s? Even on his pinkish lower abdomen, there was mixed sweat.

He wanted to get up to confirm, but Xing Jun pinched his waist hard, not letting him run, using more and more force.

And Shi Xueqing suddenly screamed, then cried out loud.

——As if surging sweet bubbles suddenly flooded his mind.

Shi Xueqing trembled. Just remembering made small fireworks seem to explode in his spine, and soreness surged into his lower abdomen. And his head finally exploded due to this delayed realization.

He had an accident with someone last night.

And, it was with Xing Jun.

Xing Wei’s brother.

A man.

A drunken accident.

His head was a mess. He seemed to remember the inexplicable fear while skydiving yesterday, and that tension between him and Xing Jun that he inexplicably recalled repeatedly. Shi Xueqing trembled a few more times, almost unable to believe that the drunk, confused person in last night’s intermittent memories was himself.

Right.

Shi Xueqing saw his messy hair in the mirror——grabbed by Xing Jun when he had his back to Xing Jun last night, and suddenly remembered something. He shot up, almost falling, but scrambled into the bathroom and turned on the faucet.

After struggling for a long time, Shi Xueqing’s face turned green and red, finally realizing it was useless.

…At least there was one good thing; their behavior yesterday was considered safe.

Perhaps because of last night’s improper behavior, his body was still twitching. Shi Xueqing soaked in the bathtub for a long time. The doorbell rang several times, but he turned a deaf ear.

Who else would come to find him at this time? Not Xing Wei; they went diving, oblivious to last night’s absurdity.

The only person who would stand outside the door was Xing Jun.

Soaking in the hot water, Shi Xueqing felt his thoughts drifting with the water, congealing into paste, not knowing what to do. His phone rang at this moment. He subconsciously picked up the phone and found that Xing Wei had posted on Instagram.

In the post, five young people wearing full diving gear posed for a group photo by the sea. Shi Xueqing scrolled back with numb fingers and saw photos of Xing Wei with sea turtles and coral.

The colorful coral spectacle looked like a Jurassic Park under the sea.

Likes were countless, all praising Xing Wei’s good photos and good figure. Only one classmate commented: “Why isn’t Shi Xueqing here?”

Xing Wei replied after a while: “He caught a cold and didn’t come.”

“Oh, what a pity, missed it.”

There was a familiar ID in the like list of that post. Balenciaga Brother.

Actually, Balenciaga Brother liked every post of Xing Wei’s. As a guy with a little money, he longed to associate with the top rich, beautiful girl in school.

But now looking at that like, Shi Xueqing felt it was mocking his absence no matter how he looked at it.

The phone vibrated at this moment; it was a call from a strange number. Shi Xueqing picked up the phone: “Hello…”

“Shi Xueqing…”

After hearing the familiar voice, he immediately hung up the phone.

The phone almost fell into the bathtub. Shi Xueqing rescued it urgently, avoiding the tragic fate of losing eight hundred dollars. Xing Jun’s voice roared in his mind. While blowing dry his phone, he was forced to spin in that low, husky voice.

——Exactly the same as the voice when Xing Jun told him to scream louder yesterday.

The phone was placed on the table, and after a while, it rang again. Shi Xueqing stared at it blankly. The mirror reflected his somewhat pitiful, melancholy figure. Suddenly, looking at himself in the mirror, anger rose in his heart.

Why should he be so afraid of him!

He slept with Xing Jun, didn’t Xing Jun sleep with him too? Who’s afraid of whom!

It’s all Xing Jun’s fault. In today’s sea turtle snorkeling group photo, there should have been his figure too.

That was several hundred dollars!

He picked up the phone, but before answering, he Googled Xing Jun’s name first.

Carefully.

Then he went numb.

Didn’t answer the phone either.

Missed calls plus one. Shi Xueqing shrunk back into bed again. Thinking about the business news related to Xing Jun he just saw, he wanted to cry but had no tears.

The internet not only had Xing Jun’s business methods but also gossip about his personal life. The gossipers said: “Xing Jun is terrifying, vengeful to an inhuman degree.”

“He sent the uncle who fought for the family property with him to jail. Even his biological father and stepmother were sent by him to a mental hospital for retirement.”

“No wonder he roots out his competitors so thoroughly.”

…Shi Xueqing hated himself for not Googling before knowing Xing Jun. Such a vicious Silicon Valley upstart, how could he, a nineteen-year-old ordinary green tea, compete?

So why did Xing Jun sleep with him? Was this also Xing Jun’s method of revenge?

Shi Xueqing shrunk in bed like a quail. The more he read those gossip paragraphs about Xing Jun, the more he felt the sky was dark and the sun and moon had no light. Even, he began to fearfully think, Xing Jun wouldn’t have filmed a sex tape with him to use as leverage to threaten him in the future, right?

The literary youth’s imagination only progressed by leaps and bounds on this level. Maybe this was Xing Jun’s way to keep him away from Xing Wei. No matter how thick-skinned Shi Xueqing was, he couldn’t possibly become the brother-in-law of someone who had fucked him.

The doorbell rang again at this moment. Shi Xueqing was even more scared than before and played dead. He shrunk in the quilt, praying for Xing Jun to leave quickly.

But the doorbell gradually turned into banging on the door, louder and louder.

Shi Xueqing almost thought the door was going to be broken down. Fortunately, he heard human voices at this moment.

Several people’s.

“Xiao Shi, are you there?”

“Are you feeling better?”

Xing Wei, Lu Yimeng, and a few others.

“Could he be in a coma from fever?” He heard Lu Yimeng say, “Otherwise, let’s call 911…”

Was this going to put him on the news? And if 911 came, wouldn’t everyone discover that he was covered in marks made by a strong man?

“Wait, I’m here…”

Shi Xueqing spoke, then found his voice incredibly hoarse, with a strange ending tone.

Like growing small hooks.

Too weird. He could only drape a shirt jacket over himself to cover his neck.

His hands trembled while putting on clothes. Even so, Shi Xueqing tried very hard.

He absolutely couldn’t let them discover that he had done it with Xing Jun.

He confirmed in the mirror again and again before dawdling to open the door. Before opening the door, his finger trembled, and as if blessed by a sudden flash of insight, he looked through the peephole.

Then he went numb.

The person he least wanted to see at this moment stood at the end of the crowd.

Still very tall. Standing on the edge, he couldn’t see Xing Jun’s expression clearly at this moment.

Shi Xueqing licked his lips in fear, remembering that this mouth, along with the saliva, had been eaten by Xing Jun yesterday too. He didn’t know how much of the saliva composition in his mouth right now belonged to him and how much belonged to Xing Jun.

For a moment, his calves went soft.

Xing Jun stood at the back of the crowd. He watched the door open a little. Shi Xueqing revealed half his body from the half-open door.

Just showered, wearing round-neck pajamas, draped in a shirt jacket, looking a bit shrinking.

Eyes lowered, gaze a bit drifting.

“My brother said you weren’t feeling well, is it true?” Xing Jun heard Xing Wei say, “How come you suddenly got sick after coming back drunk last night?”

Shi Xueqing’s voice was hoarse, only saying one word: “Mm…”

He raised his head, as if trying hard to pretend to be normal, but his eyes still didn’t look at anyone, drifting to the side. Suddenly, Xing Jun saw Shi Xueqing reach out and pull his collar as if realizing something.

He clearly saw, on the side of the neck that Shi Xueqing hurriedly covered with his collar, a very dark hickey at a tricky angle that hadn’t been covered.

It was bitten onto his neck from behind by Xing Jun last night when he crawled trying to run away but was dragged back by the calf.

Like prey caught by the vital part.

Very heavy, very deep.
