His head was pressed against the wall, and faint rustling sounds reached his ears from the other side of the wall.
The voices were subtle and blurred, somewhat resembling the sounds he had heard in his bedroom at the Fei residence.
—“You came too?”
—“Yeah, and him?”
—“He’s not here yet, but soon.”
—“How much longer? I’m getting a bit impatient.”
—“Why are you anxious? Don’t you know the bride always arrives late?”
‘Bride?’
Several different voices entered Bai Lixin’s ears, and he cleverly pressed his ear closer to the wall, distracted, wanting to hear more information.
In that brief moment just now, he heard at least three people.
While Bai Lixin was distracted, a cold sensation suddenly struck his chest and neck. The black fog somehow entered the corner of his clothes and moved all the way to his neck.
The thing in front of him looked like a blurry black fog, but when it touched him, he felt oppression, accompanied by fine lines and a rough texture.
The fog caressed the young man’s vulnerable neck, and slowly came to his chin.
“Are you distracted?” The indistinct voice was indistinguishable and seemed to be wrapped in fog. Bai Lixin could only tell it was a man’s voice. He didn’t know if it was the voice of the fog itself or a disguised voice. Two slender threads extended from the fog, gently caressing the man’s cheek, “What has captured your interest so much? So interested that you forget the danger in front of you and ignore my presence?”
While the fog spoke, before Bai Lixin could even react, his body was suddenly flipped by the other party. Once again, Bai Lixin helplessly turned to face the wall, his back to the black fog.
The fog surged, enveloping Bai Lixin from behind. One soft and fluffy mass of fog reached Bai Lixin’s cheek, and the cold voice rang out again, “Is it the sound from next door? Is there someone you care about among them? Who is it?”
Bai Lixin was tightly squeezed between the wall and the black fog, unable to move. Besides the voice of the fog, there was also the conversation from next room.
Suddenly, an exclamation came from next door.
—“The bride is here.”
—“Wow, today’s bride is really beautiful. He’s so handsome, as delicate as a doll.”
—“Under the beautiful translucent veil is the bride’s porcelain-like skin. I can’t wait to embellish it with beautiful plum blossoms.”
—“I’m really looking forward to it.”
‘”The bride is here?” What does the bride refer to?’
Bai Lixin would never be foolish enough to think it was a real bride in the literal sense. This so-called “bride” should be some kind of special metaphor.
Does the “bride” refer to the original owner?
As Bai Lixin pondered, the black fog rolled up from behind, pinched his chin and lifted his neck into an extreme taut line. “Bride? This person makes you nervous the moment they appear. Is this bride the one you care about?”
“Who is the bride to you? What’s your relationship?” The black fog swept over, questioning Bai Lixin.
Bai Lixin was forced to raise her head, caught between the gradually escalating chaos from the neighboring room and the obsessive questioning of the dark fog in his ears.
He opened his mouth to say something, but just as his mouth widened, his pupils suddenly contracted.
Thick fog descended upon him, adhering to his face without warning.
Something invaded his mouth, penetrating every accessible corner.
From his waist, something slid down, and suddenly, there was a “ripping” sound as fabric tore. In the next moment, a chill pressed against his calf.
The sounds from the adjacent room grew louder, now intermingled with the desperate pleas of the young man.
—“Let me go, please.”
The young man’s pleas were miserable and pitiful, but there was no voice around to save him. Instead, the voices became more and more excited.
—”Let you go? How about calling me ‘husband’? If you make me happy, I might consider letting you go.”
—“Poor little beauty, why are you crying? Tonight, you have a husband to cherish you.”
—“Be good, don’t cry for now, save your strength and cry harder later.”
Mockery and laughter rang out one after the other, and the young man’s piercing cries sounded so feeble and powerless among them.
Behind Bai Lixin, the black fog gradually enveloped him, and his body involuntarily spasmed.
The fog’s somewhat irritated came to his ear, “Still distracted? Is this bride so attractive to you?”
“You’re mine! Only mine. From today, you can only look at me!” The black fog suddenly twisted Bai Lixin’s chin to face itself. In the paranoid declaration of ownership, Bai Lixin suddenly gasped, his eyes momentarily blank.
Under the surging oppression, all the sounds Bai Lixin hadn’t made yet were swallowed by the black fog, disappearing into the darkness.
The cries from next door fluctuated, sometimes low, sometimes high. After an unknown duration, the sounds from next door gradually diminished, and the black fog reluctantly released Bai Lixin.
In Bai Lixin’s dazed gaze, the fog slowly said, “I will come find you again. Let’s stop here for now.”
After saying this, the black fog disappeared like a ghost, leaving only a mess on the ground and the young man leaning against the wall, breathing heavily.
Bai Lixin leaned against the wall, unable to even move his fingers.
He gradually adjusted to the darkness in the room, and the surroundings were no longer pitch black, but rather vaguely outlined.
Bai Lixin breathed heavily, waiting for the lingering effects to subside.
‘So exciting!
Is it forced love this time?
I like this punishment.’
Suddenly, the room’s door creaked. Bai Lixin was currently near the entrance, and he could see the doorway when he raised his head.
A tall figure stood in the open doorway. The person ran his hand along the wall for a moment and after a few seconds, the dazzling light forced Bai Lixin to squint.
His eyes were temporarily blinded, but his sharp ears picked up the man’s footsteps.
There was the crisp sounds of leather shoes hitting the floor, and they approached him until they disappeared beside him.
Time passed by minute by minute.
When Bai Lixin finally adapted to the brightness, he slowly opened his eyes.
The moment he looked up, he met a pair of dark pupils.
Dressed in an expensive suit, Dijia stood like a king in the dark empire, silently standing before him, expressionless, looking down at him. Seeing Bai Lixin finally open his eyes, the man spoke indifferently, “How did you come from the banquet hall to here? Didn’t I tell you to wait on the balcony until the banquet is over?”
Bai Lixin’s legs were still trembling. He held onto the wall behind him and struggled to stand, silently cursing, “scum.”
‘What a scumbag, turning his face after playing!
Why am I here? Wasn’t I pulled in by someone?!
Scum, beast, animal—bah!’
‘In ancient times, people like you should be dunked in a pig cage!
Go dunk in a pig cage!’
Something cold slid down his legs, and Bai Lixin’s expression instantly stiffened. He instinctively searched for some clothing to cover his body.
Upon seeing the scattered fabric on the floor, Bai Lixin mentally cursed someone with all sorts of colorful language.
The man’s gaze slowly moved downward, and his dark eyes became gloomy.
Under the young man’s gradually shameful eyes, the man frowned, approached Bai Lixin, and princess-carried the weak young man straight into the bathroom.
Luxurious hotels like this had their own bathrooms, and this one was particularly high end.
The man was strong, but his actions were gentle. He carefully placed the stiff young man in the bathtub, then began filling it with water.
The water temperature was pre-adjusted, and it was just right when it filled the bathtub.
The two remained silent—one in the bathtub, the other standing by the edge.
Dijia stared down at the young man.
The young man’s eyes were red, and his thick eyelashes were knotted. It seemed that the tears had moistened the long dense eyelashes and tangled them.
His lips were swollen, and his skin bore marks of various sizes. The trembling legs hinted at the severity of the mistreatment he had endured.
‘Who was it?’
Dijia subconsciously looked through the bathroom door as if searching for the presence of another person in the room.
‘Was the young man forced?
Or was it voluntary?’
President Li’s words “Yangzhou thin horse” involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
‘Was the young man really one of those people President Li mentioned?
Using their bodies as capital to get everything they desired?’
Dijia suddenly felt a bit tight in his chest. After taking a few deep breaths, he uttered his second sentence today, “What time did you come up?”
The young man leaned weakly against the edge of the bathtub, letting the warm water soak away his fatigue.
He opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice, “I came up not long after we separated.”
Dijia narrowed his eyes. “When did that person leave?”
That person—the one who had left the young man in this state.
The voice is so hoarse. It must have been very intense at that time, right?
The young man who was squinting to enjoy the temperature of the water suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him with an inexplicable look that he could not understand. After several seconds, the young man slowly replied, “He left not long before you came in.”
Dijia clenched his fists hidden in his sleeves.
‘I left the young man on the balcony at around 7:30 in the evening.
Now, it was almost dawn.
A full four and a half hours?
Damn it.’
Dijia took a few more deep breaths. His gaze shifted away from Bai Lixin to elsewhere, and something milky white slowly floated up from the bottom of the water, drifting on the surface.
Dijia’s fists clenched again.
‘Damn it!!’
His head was pressed against the wall, and faint rustling sounds reached his ears from the other side of the wall.
The voices were subtle and blurred, somewhat resembling the sounds he had heard in his bedroom at the Fei residence.
—“You came too?”
—“Yeah, and him?”
