Chapter 15
When one’s senses spiral out of control, they instinctively grasp for something to regain control over their body. This was especially true for Young Master Jiang Huaisheng, who was accustomed to being in a position of power.
Last time, he had wanted to be the one in control on top. Although it ended due to his lack of stamina, at that time, he believed he had the upper hand and could withstand Gu Tang.
He was one way in bed, and could still maintain his composure afterward. It was as if, once clothed, the relationship between them was no different than before.
But now, this feeling was terrifying. He felt like his body was no longer his own, but completely belonged to someone else.
His strength and tactics were useless, his proud intellect reduced to mush.
When humans lose all their weapons, all they can rely on are their limbs, body, and teeth.
However, due to years of illness, his body was frail. Although he appeared normal and was stronger than most girls, compared to a naturally gifted athlete like Gu Tang, even when sober, his strength was completely suppressed.
With his limbs out of control and his body unable to resist, his last remaining weapons were his teeth and nails.
Gu Tang’s kisses were also fierce, the pineapple flavor completely invading his mouth. His tongue was now completely numb, and he didn’t dare to bite because their lips and teeth were intertwined.
If he bit Gu Tang, what if the other party bit him back? Unlike areas below the neck, you couldn’t just cover your mouth and pretend nothing happened.
Then his only remaining weapon was his nails, scratching long marks on the other’s back. But the pain he inflicted was negligible. If it hurt more, the other party would retaliate even more ferociously. So, due to this conditioned reflex, his last resort was reduced to clutching the sheets and the mosquito net.
Jiang Huaisheng hated for the first time how neatly trimmed his nails always were. If he had known this would happen, he should have gone to a nail salon beforehand and gotten some exaggerated, detachable fake nails.
The kind with extravagant, sparkling rhinestones, so he could leave deeper marks on Gu Tang’s back!
The young man’s body was actually very beautiful, perfect both front and back. His pectoral and abdominal muscles were lean, not overly exaggerated or bulging, making him look slim and like a perfect clothes hanger in any outfit.
But Gu Tang was actually very strong. His waist was powerful, and he could easily do 100 push-ups with Jiang Huaisheng lying on top of him.
Not to mention his calf muscles. Gu Tang was naturally gifted in track and field, excelling in both sprinting and long-distance running.
One of the bonus points for his independent enrollment was that during high school, Gu Tang had participated in an international marathon held in City A during summer vacation and won third place in the men’s race, receiving a generous prize of $20,000. He also had a National Second-Level Athlete certificate.
Jiang Huaisheng had watched that competition. Gu Tang had excellent stamina and was at ease throughout the entire race. If it weren’t for the fact that the first-place winner received too much exposure and had to give media interviews, Gu Tang could have won first place.
This was also why he resented Gu Tang. He clearly had everything, an outstanding mind and leadership skills, while Gu Tang, this country bumpkin from a small town, possessed the healthy body he dreamed of.
He could easily win honors just by running on the track, his muscles were just right, and both his face and figure were perfect.
Gu Tang wasn’t like those bodybuilders with overly bulky physiques, looking as heavy and exaggerated as bears.
The Jiang family were respectable people, valuing moderation and disliking anything that appeared too aggressive. Jiang Huaisheng’s eyes were sharp, so he had to wear glasses to soften them.
Therefore, he never envied those muscular men like Schwarzenegger, those muscle-bound hulks who only knew how to train their pectoral muscles were no different from bears. And most of them were all brawn and no brains, as if their brains were made of muscle blocks instead of convoluted gray matter.
In short, Gu Tang’s body was the body Jiang Huaisheng dreamed of having.
And when the other party had close contact with him, Jiang Huaisheng would have an illusion, as if that healthy physique, in this way, became a part of his body, and he would quickly recover and even become an athletic genius!
But this was clearly just an illusion. He wasn’t the one eating, but the one being eaten. Gu Tang’s stamina and endurance were terrifying, he was a monster!
Jiang Huaisheng was swept away by the constantly crashing waves, tossed to the highest point again and again.
He only had a special blood disease, so he often looked pale, weak, and had poorer immunity than most people, but his other organs were healthy, and he didn’t have heart disease.
But if this continued, Jiang Huaisheng suspected he would die of heart palpitations first, dying in bed would be a very embarrassing way to go.
If that really happened, even as a ghost, he would crawl out of hell, drag Gu Tang down with him, and grind his bones to ashes, scattering them into the Pacific Ocean!
The newly replaced light blue mosquito net was torn to shreds, and the neatly made soft sheets were covered in unsightly marks.
“I’m going to die…” Jiang Huaisheng’s eyes were unfocused, his mouth slightly open as he spoke, saliva uncontrollably flowing from the corners of his lips, like a broken doll.
Gu Tang’s movements slowed down. He reached for a baby wipe from the bedside table and, at this moment, still had the composure and rationality to wipe Jiang Huaisheng’s mouth clean.
Because dried saliva would stink, even the saliva of a milk-drinking baby was smelly, and Gu Tang didn’t like it.
Gu Tang wasn’t so clean-obsessed when he was a child. After all, as a child growing up in a small town, and even the leader of the children, rolling around in the grass and getting covered in grass clippings, or even rolling in mud puddles, wasn’t a problem.
But after being brought to City A by Wen Xinyi, he had become exceptionally clean at some point. Maybe it was because his mother scolded him for being dirty and told him not to touch his newborn brother, or maybe it was because he was called a dirty country bumpkin when he first arrived…
In any case, his cleanliness obsession now wasn’t inferior to Jiang Huaisheng’s, and sometimes even a bit obsessive and pathological.
Gu Tang’s movements were meticulous and gentle, but this made Jiang Huaisheng feel even more embarrassed. The contrast was too stark. His rationality returned, and his mind was flooded with shame.
“You won’t die…” When Jiang Huaisheng really couldn’t take it anymore, Gu Tang would stop, giving him enough space to recover. He was so at ease, confidently refuting the young master’s words.
Although the young master was cold and arrogant, hypocritical and vicious, Gu Tang didn’t want Jiang Huaisheng to turn from a delicate flower into a puddle of mud and die pathetically in a hospital bed.
Perhaps at that time, Jiang Huaisheng would desperately want to pull out his tubes, but his desire to live was so strong that he would still struggle to survive.
Gu Tang’s fingers moved down Jiang Huaisheng’s cervical spine. The distinct vertebrae were clearly visible under his thin skin, his fingers igniting sparks and tremors along the way.
But Jiang Huaisheng was indifferent, this level of stimulation no longer had any effect on him.
Gu Tang leaned down, close to Jiang Huaisheng’s ear, and said: “After your bone marrow transplant, my hematopoietic stem cells will continuously produce blood in your body, my blood will flow through every blood vessel of yours… After you recover, you’ll be able to run and jump, just like you always watched me from the window.”
Some things were unspoken between them.
Just like Jiang Huaisheng never said it, but he knew. When he first arrived at the Jiang family, those who secretly called him a dog behind his back, although he had ambushed them, he didn’t know that there was something called surveillance cameras in the big city.
But nothing happened to him afterward, and those who had insulted him even transferred schools. It was Jiang Huaisheng cleaning up the mess.
The young master was very protective of his own. Although the starting point was that even hitting a dog depended on its owner, insulting his dog was also insulting the Jiang family. But some families would still beat their own dogs for the sake of outsiders.
Thinking of the past, Gu Tang’s heart calmed down. He was no longer the child who needed protection, he was an adult.
Gu Tang was quiet for a moment, bent down, and pressed his face against the young master’s flat abdomen, his voice extremely gentle: “Young Master Jiang, your first life was given to you by your mother, your second life will be given to you by me. Jiang Huaisheng, I won’t let you die, never.”
