The Crematorium’s Scum Gong Gets to Clock Off After Being Replaced 31

Chapter 31: Dog-Blood High Society

【It’s over, it’s over…】 Gu Xiu looked up at the sky and murmured to himself, 【I might not be able to get off work…】

007 restarted, still in a daze, its voice getting louder with each word: 【What’s wrong now… Ah, Jiujiu! Your mouth is swollen!!】

Gu Xiu pursed his lips with some embarrassment: 【I know, you don’t have to tell me.】

007 reminded him again: 【Your lower part seems to be…】

Gu Xiu’s face flushed, and he quickly covered his body with his hand, scolding in anger and embarrassment, 【Shut up!】

【You can shut down. Don’t come out again tonight.】 Gu Xiu first instructed, then changed his mind, 【Wait… show me the surveillance footage from the past few nights.】

Even if the footage involving the host’s privacy was stored in 007’s database, he had no authority to view it. 007 shut down as requested, and the surveillance records were left in Gu Xiu’s sea of consciousness, like a CD waiting for him to click play.

Gu Xiu was a little anxious.

His heart was anxious, and his body was anxious too. He reached out his hand and then pulled it back. Now, his mind was full of Lu Shichen, of the feeling of being deeply kissed just now. What was the point of comforting himself with these thoughts? That was even more unacceptable to him than mutual help between straight men.

It also made him unable to deceive himself anymore.

He took a few deep breaths, trying to ignore the strong presence there. He sat up against the headboard with a solemn expression and brought up the surveillance projection with a straight face.

The projection clearly recorded everything that happened at night. The images, temperature, sound, and smell were all recorded. It was an advanced virtual reality technology. Gu Xiu observed his sleeping self from a third-person perspective and had some different experiences when he looked at the things he had gone through.

The night he had shared a bed with Lu Shichen in the county hotel, Gu Xiu had a cold. Coupled with the accidental kiss, he had not slept well all night.

Who would have thought that Lu Shichen, who had welcomed the hot morning with him, had not slept at all.

He had first pretended to work for more than two hours. Gu Xiu was fast-forwarding while watching, and just as he was getting drowsy, Lu Shichen put down his computer and shifted his attention to him.

Then, he pulled up his bathrobe, quite the gentleman.

Gu Xiu suddenly let out the breath he had been holding. He had judged a gentleman by his own petty standards.

But the memory of Lu Shichen going crazy and putting a necklace on him and dancing the tango in his house still lingered. A person’s transformation is definitely not a matter of one day, but has long been foreshadowed. It was just that he might not have noticed.

As expected.

When Lu Shichen came back from the bathroom, his sleeping posture was relaxed. He had kicked off the quilt, revealing his fair legs and gray underwear under the bathrobe. This was like a fuse, detonating the long-accumulated explosives.

Lu Shichen got on the bed lightly, and then, he took out…

Gu Xiu was dumbfounded.

Lu Shichen, on the other hand, was immersed in it, his face filled with enjoyment and satisfaction.

But, those eyes were staring straight at the person who was then keeping a little celebrity, his cousin-nephew.

The unexpected wet marks were hard to erase, but he was not flustered. He was not worried that he would wake the sleeping Gu Xiu, nor was he worried that he would be discovered the next morning.

In fact, Gu Xiu was indeed oblivious. He had even wrapped himself in that quilt and drank a glass of hot water.

All emotions are contagious, especially the most turbulent, intense, and extreme desire. Even if it was just a projection, it made Gu Xiu’s breathing more and more rapid.

He had personally experienced how good Lu Shichen’s hungry skills were, so his imagination was even more specific. So that’s how that technique was practiced…

He closed his eyes and hardened his heart.

A straight man thinking about a gay man doing a hand job is nothing!

After that long and deep kiss, Lu Shichen was even more restless.

He was sitting in front of the computer, staring at Gu Xiu in the surveillance without blinking.

Gu Xiu was staring at the air in front of him. He didn’t know what he was seeing, or if he was in a daze, savoring the kiss from just now. A charming red spread from his earlobes, all the way to his neck, dyeing the light brown mole.

After a long while, he put down his bent legs, letting the peeping tom see his unabated impulse.

His next move was also as the peeping tom expected. He pulled open the elastic band, flicked it, and held it.

Lu Shichen’s hand movements stopped. He planned to wait for his cousin-nephew.

After a moment, one in the camera and one outside, one’s breath rose, the other’s fell, reaching a similar frequency, harmonious and tacit.

“You’re mine,” he said in a hoarse voice, whispering to the young man on the screen, as if repeating it enough times would make it a reality. “You’re mine, don’t think about him…”

But, the entanglement between Gu Xiu and Jiang Yuan Yao was like a dense metal wall blocking the way.

He lowered his dull gray eyes, suddenly losing all interest.

But at this moment, a voice full of uncontrollable emotion came from the surveillance, “Ninth Uncle…”

Lu Shichen thought he had misheard.

He fixed his eyes on the screen and became energetic again.

Gu Xiu was almost there. In his infatuation, he didn’t know what he had blurted out. He tilted his head back to the ceiling, his slender neck’s Adam’s apple prominent, the light brown mole glistening with sweat, as beautiful as if it were glowing.

“Mm…”

Gu Xiu’s black eyes were half-closed, his eyelashes wet with sweat, his fair skin flushed with a moving pink.

“Ninth Uncle… mm!”

This time, the two words he called out were clearly audible.

Lu Shichen was so aroused by his call that fireworks were going off in front of his eyes. He let out a low moan of pleasure.

…

I can’t get off work.

After a night of indulgence, Gu Xiu woke up with two dark circles under his eyes and thought in despair.

He pulled out 007 and got the same answer: 【Although you’re the replaced scum gong in the crematorium, the protagonist gong and shou have achieved a happy ending. Then, after their official announcement, you have a major breakdown. Only then is the mission completely accomplished.】

【The total plot completion rate is already 78%! As long as the protagonist gong and shou successfully do the deed, and the protagonist gong accidentally appears in the protagonist shou’s live stream and then makes an official announcement, you can have a breakdown and get off work!】

Of course, it’s easy to just say it.

It wasn’t a big problem not being able to get off work. He could just treat his time in this world as a vacation. If the plot couldn’t be completed, and the small world collapsed, he could also be forcibly pulled out. It would just mean losing a huge amount of points.

This price was acceptable, but Gu Xiu was exhausted from all the trouble. He had even been thinking about a gay man while doing a hand job, which was really infuriating.

【It’s not you who was forced to work overtime and lost your innocence!】 Gu Xiu grabbed the small ball of light and said viciously.

【Huh?】 007 did not understand the source of his anger. It spun in his hand, like a human being confused. 【Aren’t all straight men carefree? Why do you care so much? Mm… do you find it disgusting? As far as I know, Jiujiu, you were once in a Cthulhu small world and were even swallowed into a monster’s stomach full of mucus! Isn’t that much more disgusting?】

Gu Xiu was speechless for a moment. He threw the small silver ball away, turned around, and pulled at his innocent hair, stammering, 【That… uh, that’s different! Anyway, it’s different.】

007: 【Detected that the host’s heart rate is consistently above 120 beats/second in a non-active state… Jiujiu, what happened to you?】

Gu Xiu calmed his chest.

His heart rate still couldn’t be calmed.

As soon as he was quiet, he couldn’t help but think back to the kiss that had set his body on fire last night, the man’s hot body, the intoxicating cold woody scent…

The door was opened, and Gu Xiu did not notice at first.

It wasn’t until Lu Shichen called out to him, “Gu Xiu.”

Gu Xiu turned his head in panic.

【Ah! The heart rate is 140!】 007 exclaimed.

【…Shut up!】 Gu Xiu’s face was flushed with anger. 【Quick, turn off this damn heart rate function! Don’t monitor me anymore!】

Lu Shichen couldn’t hear the conversation between the two, but he could see the resistance in Gu Xiu’s body language. He stood there stiffly. As soon as he stepped forward, Gu Xiu stepped back.

Lu Shichen took a deep breath, pushed up his glasses, and told himself to calm down. In any case, he had been thinking about DIY last night. The body’s instinctive reaction was always the most honest.

Gu Xiu calmed his emotions and asked as if nothing had happened, “What’s wrong, Ninth Uncle?”

“I’m going on a business trip for three days,” Lu Shichen asked. “Do you want to come with me?”

Gu Xiu naturally wanted to refuse, his tone uncertain. “Can I not go… didn’t you say I have to listen to you from now on…”

Lu Shichen: “This matter, you can decide for yourself.”

Gu Xiu decisively refused, “Then no. You can go, Ninth Uncle. Have a safe trip.”

Lu Shichen lowered his eyes to hide the disappointment in his eyes and left the villa alone.

It’s fine. He still had patience.

Gu Xiu was unusually slow in matters of love. It would indeed take some time for him to suddenly accept the change from an uncle-nephew relationship to a romantic one.

During these few days of his business trip, Gu Xiu obediently stayed at home, no longer interacting with Jiang Yuan Yao in his live stream, nor did he test Butler Tong to see if he could go out.

He very calmly accepted this state of a canary being kept, but it also seemed as if he could leave at any time, which was why he had this fearless indifference.

Lu Shichen was inexplicably restless. He took out his phone and looked at it again and again during the breaks in his meetings. Gu Xiu was sleeping peacefully in his room, and it seemed to be a peaceful and quiet time.

His secretary Amanda received a call from Gu Chun and only told him after the meeting was over.

Lu Shichen called back. Gu Chun was flattered and first called out “Chairman Lu” several times. “Chairman Lu, Chairman Lu, sorry to bother you. I heard that Gu Xiu hasn’t been going to work with you lately. Is he just staying at home every day? Miss Amanda said you’re on a business trip outside. Gu Xiu must be very bored at home alone… You see, it’s been a while since I’ve seen him. How about I go and see him?”

Lu Shichen glanced at Gu Xiu, who was staring at the sky in a daze on the computer. He hesitated for a moment and gave his permission. “Okay. Tomorrow afternoon. You need to leave before dark.”

“Really?” Gu Chun was overjoyed. “That’s great! Thank you, Chairman Lu!”

Although the relatives of the Gu family had their own ulterior motives long before Gu Xiu’s identity was exposed, and none of them truly treated Gu Xiu as a relative. After all, they had been together for so many years. With Gu Xiu’s personality, it was impossible for him to have no feelings for them.

Since Gu Xiu was willing to let Gu Chun live in his house before, it at least showed that his relationship with this cousin was not too bad. Letting Gu Chun accompany the lonely Gu Xiu might make his mood better.

Perhaps, it could also make him accept him sooner.

Lu Shichen had considered all aspects, carefully and thoroughly.

Gu Xiu did not expect that cheap cousin to come to his door, nor did he expect Lu Shichen to let him in.

Gu Chun drove to Lu Shichen’s mansion in the suburbs. His identity was confirmed by the security guard at the iron gate of the courtyard. Then he drove the car to the underground garage and was led upstairs by a servant.

The security was strict and the rules were clear, as if he had come to some Capitol building.

Seeing the lively Gu Xiu with his own eyes, he still found it incredible.

Gu Xiu’s condition was much better than he had imagined. He had thought he would be exhausted, his essence drained, and depressed from being locked up in the villa for too long.

Gu Chun looked around warily and cautiously suggested, “Let’s go to your room to talk.”

Gu Xiu took him to his large suite.

Gu Xiu’s living environment was also much better than Gu Chun had imagined. There were no signs of confinement, and his clothes were scattered everywhere, full of signs of life.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Gu Chun did not hide anything and directly took out his phone and asked, “This streamer… is it you?”

The last time Gu Xiu had accidentally shown his face in a live stream, his true identity was still being strictly protected by those with intentions. But the photo of his sensual red lips was widely circulated.

When Gu Xiu saw the screenshot of his live stream, the hot memories of that night came flooding back, and his expression changed slightly.

Gu Chun had exposed his privacy as soon as he came, but he did not have the joy of a great victory. Instead, he showed a deep pity and murmured in disbelief, “So Chairman Lu… has that kind of intention for you?”

In the script, Gu Chun exposed Gu Xiu’s identity and then went offline. He was a cannon fodder character with very few scenes.

This appearance was unexpected and sudden. Gu Xiu had no idea how to deal with it and let out a stunned “Huh?”

Seeing this, Gu Chun confirmed his guess. Like a real older brother, he wrung his hands in genuine regret. “I should have guessed! Chairman Lu was suddenly so good to you, and then he suddenly asked me to expose your identity… it was all to make you have nowhere to go, so he could control you!”

“Tell me the truth, are you being held under house arrest by Chairman Lu?”

Gu Xiu took a while to react.

“If you’re talking about him not letting me go out…”

Gu Chun interrupted angrily, “I knew it!”

What do you know!

“Gu Xiu, you’ve suffered. This matter is actually all my fault… sigh.” Gu Chun sighed heavily in annoyance, but an apology was useless. So he lowered his voice and asked mysteriously, “Do you want to get out of here?”

Gu Xiu’s heart moved.

Before today, he had a “live for the moment” attitude and had not considered the option of secretly escaping. Even if Lu Shichen really imprisoned him, it would only last until the small world collapsed, at which point he would be forcibly pulled out by the power of the main god.

Ultimately, he was not a person of this world. He did not belong here. He and Lu Shichen were from two different worlds.

Their deep entanglement was already a transgression.

Now, Gu Chun’s words had enlightened him.

If he escaped, he could at least enjoy a period of carefree days. From the most optimistic point of view, maybe there was still a chance to salvage this plot?

His mood was a mess, and he didn’t know what to do. But when he thought of his out-of-control heartbeat when he faced Lu Shichen, the face he couldn’t help but think of during his late-night comfort… all these signs were warning him, get away from that person!

“Gu Xiu!” Gu Chun’s urgent call pulled him back to reality.

“I knew it…”

This time, Gu Xiu did not deny it. He lowered his eyes and pursed his lips.

Gu Chun only thought that he had been forced, and a strong sense of rescue grew in his heart. He said loudly, “Don’t worry, I can save you!”

According to the plan, Gu Xiu would first sneak to the garage, reach in through the unlocked car window, open the back seat of Gu Chun’s car, get in and lie down, then roll up the window to make sure no one outside could see him.

Then Gu Chun would pretend that he had just finished catching up with his cousin, be sent out by Butler Tong, naturally get into his own car, insert the car key, and drive away.

The plan was very simple and feasible, and the execution was also very smooth.

Gu Chun went all out. Thinking of Lu Shichen’s possible revenge, he was uneasy in his heart. “This is my payment for living in your house for these past few years. Chairman Lu is a decent person. He probably won’t do anything to me…”

After successfully driving the car out of the villa area, the stone that had been hanging in Gu Chun’s heart finally fell. He spoke to Gu Xiu generously, “Don’t worry. You can find a hotel to stay in yourself. Even if Chairman Lu asks me, I won’t know your whereabouts.”

Before parting, Gu Chun’s complicated and heartbroken gaze swept over Gu Xiu and fixed on his lower back. “I really didn’t expect… you’ve suffered.”

Gu Xiu: “…”

If you can’t think of it, then don’t.

Gu Xiu turned and walked into the bustling crowd without any reluctance.
