That punch came smashing down, but Lin Wu dodged it, and it crashed into the floor.
Ji Xingci’s hand bled instantly on the back, but he didn’t care at all. He immediately lunged forward to strangle Lin Wu’s neck, pinning him firmly to the ground.
“Do you like him?! Do you?!”
“No, calm down… just a bit…”
Lin Wu endured it for a while without fighting back, and his neck turned red. His fair skin only made it look strangely alluring.
Ji Xingci showed no sign of calming down.
Instead, his eyes turned bloodshot.
“I’m going to kill him.”
“??”
Lin Wu hurriedly gripped his wrist tightly and stared at him in disbelief.
“Ji Xingci, you can’t kill someone.”
As soon as Lin Wu got serious, Ji Xingci’s hand was pried open.
Ji Xingci’s veins bulged, but he still couldn’t break free. He became even more convinced that the person from before was Lin Wu. He trembled all over with rage.
Of course, his talk of killing was just empty words, but he was driven mad with anger and insisted on saying it anyway.
“So what if I kill him? Are you heartbroken for him!”
Lin Wu was utterly dumbfounded. Ji Xingci’s personality had clearly improved before, so how had it plummeted straight down again?
Did his task really fail?
Lin Wu was deeply shaken and still hadn’t figured out what to do.
Ji Xingci had already stopped on his own.
His chest was still heaving dramatically, but his entire body had gone rigid, and cold sweat instantly beaded on his forehead.
It was obvious at a glance that his stomach was hurting again.
Moreover, it must hurt a lot—Ji Xingci’s face had turned completely pale.
Lin Wu immediately relaxed his grip, feeling a bit of pity for him.
“Are you okay?”
Ji Xingci panted for several breaths before he could open his reddened eyes again and continue speaking.
“You just like him!”
“You’re afraid that while I’m putting on that act, I’ll lay hands on Xu Qing… That’s why you confessed to me.
“That day, you—” He suddenly squeezed his eyes shut to endure the pain, veins bulging on his forehead.
“You were afraid I’d go upstairs to find him, so you kissed me!”
“Isn’t that right?”
Lin Wu froze in place. Why was he still going on about this!
He repeated, “I really don’t like Xu Qing.”
“You said it yourself! You said it was because he was getting close to me!”
“That was at the beginning… Now I like you.”
Ji Xingci suddenly glared at him, his eyes even redder, like a ferocious beast that had been poked in its sore spot.
“You think I’m an idiot? Do you think I’ll believe you again? If I believe you again, then I’m a dog!”
He clearly still wanted to hit him, but his stomach hurt too much, so instead, he suddenly doubled over at the waist.
Lin Wu supported him. “Don’t move around.”
“I don’t need it. Mind your own business. Go find your Xu Qing.”
Ji Xingci kept his head lowered, his forehead pressed against the ground as he gasped for breath in big gulps. He was in too much pain to get up, yet he stubbornly kept arguing with him.
“I haven’t liked you either…”
He desperately squeezed the words out from his throat.
“You’re right. At the beginning, I approached him just to play around, so it doesn’t matter who I played with.”
“I just treated you like a tool.”
“…”
Lin Wu fell silent.
In truth, the task had already been completed, and the Main God had ordered him to leave.
The mission target had already given such reasons. He could have just turned around and left, but…
It was the first time he saw Ji Xingci shed tears.
Not just reddened eye sockets, but large teardrops falling straight down, one after another without end.
Does it hurt that much?
You’re still trying to tough it out.
Lin Wu pursed his lips.
“Do you really want me to leave?”
Ji Xingci lay motionless on the ground and didn’t say a word.
“What will you do if I leave?”
Ji Xingci suddenly looked up at him with a fierce glare. “Are you really going to find him?”
Lin Wu pressed a hand to his forehead; he really couldn’t bear to watch any longer.
“I’m not going. How about I hold you instead, okay?”
Ji Xingci was still trying to act tough, but he had no strength left; his palms were trembling.
“Come here.”
Lin Wu could clearly feel that his body was covered in cold sweat. As soon as Ji Xingci leaned against him, he stopped moving.
After a while, he probably really couldn’t endure it anymore.
“……It hurts so much.”
Ji Xingci tugged at the corner of his clothes, unconsciously leaning into his embrace.
“Lin Wu, it hurts so much.”
Ji Xingci’s mind was blurring from the pain; he felt like he was about to die.
It clearly didn’t hurt much at all when Lin Wu was inside him just now.
“Why?
Why is it tormenting me so much now?”
His face was flushed completely red, tears streaming down uncontrollably. This damn body only knew how to betray him, making him lose face.
Lin Wu was stunned for a moment. He lifted Ji Xingci’s sleep robe to check.
“It’s been so long, but this time, not even a drop of water came out. This isn’t right, is it?”
“It hurts so much inside. My stomach feels like it’s gotten bigger.”
It clearly wasn’t like this before.
Could it be because my mood is too bad?
“Ji Xingci…”
Lin Wu tried to explain.
“You’re having a difficult labor. Can you stop hating me for now, okay?”
“Don’t think bad thoughts in your head…”
He spoke so gently for what felt like half the day, but Ji Xingci suddenly widened his eyes, like a vengeful wolf, panting as he asked,
“Did you ever think of Xu Qing when you were doing it with me?”
??
Lin Wu forcefully squeezed his eyes shut, then opened them again.
“Ji Xingci, I don’t like Xu Qing.”
“I like you!”
Ji Xingci glared at him with reddened eyes, saying nothing.
“I really like you. It’s fine if you treat me like a tool.”
Lin Wu once again unleashed 120% of his acting skills. He had to help him out.
“Hug me, okay? Why not use the tool if you have it? Please.”
Lin Wu kept repeating in his ear that he liked him, and also kissed him.
Ji Xingci initially pushed him away, but eventually stopped resisting and hugged him tightly.
The two clung closely together, breathing in each other’s breath. This time, Ji Xingci’s body temperature was even lower than his.
Lin Wu kept soothing him and could feel that Ji Xingci’s ears were bright red, his face buried in Lin Wu’s shoulder. He seemed to relax for a moment, but the next wave of pain soon arrived.
Ji Xingci suddenly gripped him tightly again, his mind blurring from the agony as he cried out in pain and shed tears.
Lin Wu’s neck was strangled so tightly by him that he could barely breathe. But after a long time, there was still no progress—the fluid was stuck and couldn’t come out.
Ji Xingci was being tormented badly.
This won’t work.
“Xingci.”
“Relax a bit.”
Lin Wu gritted his teeth, untied his sleep robe, and used his hand to help him relax. Ji Xingci shuddered violently, opened his eyes and glared at him, but he didn’t refuse.
But his hand wasn’t long enough. He couldn’t reach the spot.
Lin Wu grew a bit anxious.
He hugged his legs again and folded his body in half.
Ji Xingci’s surprised gaze darted away. “What are you doing…”
This was a posture to stretch the pelvis. Lin Wu stretched him while coaxing him.
“It’s all my fault. I regret it—don’t be angry, okay? Relax. Just like before. It’ll be over soon.”
“Like before?” Ji Xingci gritted his teeth, his face turning red. “Don’t…”
He couldn’t let Lin Wu fuck him anymore—his soul was practically fucked out of him! He couldn’t fall into this guy’s hands.
Lin Wu kept helping him relax.
“I’m helping you,” he said.
Ji Xingci awkwardly lifted his hips, still trying to act tough. “I don’t need you anymore.”
Lin Wu didn’t understand. “How could you not need me? Aren’t I your tool?”
Ji Xingci felt a surge of inexplicable anger, his chest tight, but he couldn’t find the words. He was breathing so hard his face had gone pale.
Lin Wu looked at Ji Xingci, then suddenly grabbed his face and kissed him, slipping his tongue inside.
At first, Ji Xingci pretended he didn’t want it, but in the end, he started sucking on it eagerly. Like a kitten latching onto milk, he finally settled down.
Inside, things relaxed a little.
Lin Wu took advantage of the moment and worked at it for a good while, desperately trying to reach that valve.
But his fingers just weren’t long enough.
Ji Xingci’s resistance grew weaker and weaker, his face flushing redder by the second.
Lin Wu’s lips were bitten sore, so he had to push harder.
Ji Xingci felt like he was going insane. He started shoving at him. Lin Wu pinned him down firmly. The whole “pipe” seemed to twist.
A tiny spurt of water finally squirted out.
Even though his hand was soaked, the blockage still wouldn’t budge.
He dug around for a few more minutes, but the pipe felt completely jammed, just swelling redder and redder.
Lin Wu panted for breath. Suddenly, Ji Xingci clutched him tight, his eyes locked on him fiercely.
Lin Wu explained, sounding like a plumber. “I’ll go find a tool.”
Ji Xingci’s face turned beet red, his glare sharpening even more.
Lin Wu sensed something was wrong.
“What’s up? Do you need…”
“You’re saving it to go back and give to Xu Qing, aren’t you!”
“I knew you weren’t really into it anyway.”
“…No?”
“I’ve never even thought about getting fucked by anyone. I let you fuck me, and it turns into this, and now you’re thinking about someone else!”
?? Lin Wu was completely at a loss.
“I said no! I’m here, I’m doing it.
“You’re the only one for me. Don’t overthink it. Please.”
Ji Xingci finally fell silent.
He watched as Lin Wu pulled out, staring intently. He seemed like he wanted to say something, but in the end, he clamped his mouth shut and clung to Lin Wu like an octopus.
Lin Wu exhaled heavily, his own face flushing. “Feeling better?”
Ji Xingci hugged him tighter, not answering.
Lin Wu didn’t dare move. “Does it still hurt a lot?”
Ji Xingci asked, “Really?”
“Huh?”
“Have you really only done it with me?”
“…Yeah.”
Ji Xingci’s throat bobbed. His heart eased a bit, but then anxiety crept in. He had to think of some way, say something threatening—anything to make sure Lin Wu didn’t have anyone else.
Lin Wu thought for a moment, closed his eyes, and kissed him. “I love you.”
Ji Xingci’s eyelashes fluttered, and all the strength drained from his body.
Lin Wu paused for a while, then continued stretching him, murmuring sweet nothings about how much he liked him. It seemed to be working.
Ji Xingci started trembling. No, it was too much—too deep.
Lin Wu felt it too. He pressed down on Ji Xingci’s stomach and soothed him. “It’s okay. I love you.”
Ji Xingci opened his eyes and looked at him, his pupils suddenly contracting.
Thanks to Lin Wu’s persistent efforts, it was like a whole new world opening up.
Ji Xingci’s mouth fell open, but no sound came out—like a fish flopping on dry land. Finally, water gushed out in a rush.
“Hang in there just a bit longer. It’ll be over soon.”
Ji Xingci leaned into Lin Wu’s arms, feeling the warmth of his body and inhaling Lin Wu’s scent.
It didn’t hurt as much anymore. Instead, it felt deeper and deeper, like they were merging together. It was terrifying. He wanted to pull away, but the pleasure kept building… In truth, he was gripping Lin Wu even tighter.
At one point, the butler even knocked on the door, asking in confusion if he still hadn’t sent Mr. Lin away.
Ji Xingci was on the verge of dying; he couldn’t respond. Luckily, Lin Wu covered his mouth, and the door was locked.
The butler wasn’t the reckless type and soon left.
He couldn’t take it anymore.
Ji Xingci’s eyes slowly rolled back.
Finally, he passed out.
~~~
When he woke again, it was pitch black outside the window. A storm was raging, just as expected.
Ji Xingci’s whole body ached, but he felt much more relieved.
In his daze, his eyes flew wide open.
No one was beside him, but the sheets had been changed.
Had Lin Wu left without a word?
Ji Xingci instinctively wanted to go look for him.
But as he stood, he noticed a light in the dark bedroom.
It was his phone.
Lin Wu was calling him.
Was he outside, trying to get back in?
Ji Xingci immediately thought the butler must have come again and chased Lin Wu out.
He reached for the phone to answer, then hesitated.
He shouldn’t… be so eager to call him back, right?
The way the butler had looked at him earlier was already full of confusion.
Lin Wu had ambushed him, tricked him, made him suffer.
He was stronger than Ji Xingci, and he’d already shown freakish abilities in too many areas.
His background was suspicious—dangerous.
Shouldn’t he at least wait a while?
He ought to investigate him first.
But it was raining outside.
Lin Wu had been a bit rough, but he’d never really hurt him.
Ji Xingci was the one who’d made several weapons and nearly injured Lin Wu…
What kind of agent lived so miserably before? Lin Wu hadn’t approached him with any obvious agenda, hadn’t even asked for resources.
Maybe he should let him in after all.
He moved to answer.
But the phone went dark.
Ji Xingci pressed his lips together, waiting for Lin Wu to call back.
The phone stayed silent. The room plunged into total darkness.
