Regarding that day, Lin Yue Shu knew well that Huo Yi Sen was the only one who could help him defy fate and stand against capital. He absolutely couldn’t exaggerate the story. But on that day, he wasn’t entirely passive, so when it came to the delicacies on the table, he chose to keep silent.
“He tied my hands with a cloth strip.” Lin Yue Shu tightly gripped his pants, as if there really was an invisible cloth strip binding his hands, “He took off my pants…”
“I was so scared, my mind went blank. I don’t remember how I hurt him or how I got out…”
Lin Yue Shu spoke simply, erasing all the details. Otherwise, if he remembered every detail clearly in the face of despair, anyone would suspect he was making it up.
After a long silence, Huo Yi Sen asked in a low voice:
“Where did he touch you?”
Lin Yue Shu’s Adam’s apple moved, and his fingers clenched tighter. An indescribable pleasure and an uncontrollable urge to boast surged into his brain.
He lowered his head even more, speaking vaguely and awkwardly:
“My waist…”
“And?”
“My legs…”
Lin Yue Shu originally thought that Huo Yi Sen would say something like “I’ll fight that old pervert,” but what he got instead was:
“You’ve been in the entertainment industry for so long, you know better than I do that relying solely on beauty is a dead end.”
Lin Yue Shu opened his mouth but said nothing. Yes, he knew better than anyone. Although he hadn’t experienced it, he had seen it plenty of times.
But wait, beauty?
Huo Yi Sen said he was beautiful!
This sentence was like a stimulant to Lin Yue Shu.
He suddenly reached for the door handle: “I want to get out of the car, that uncle hasn’t left yet, those kids…”
Huo Yi Sen had no intention of unlocking the car door, saying coldly:
“Calm down first.”
“No.” Lin Yue Shu pulled the door handle, making a rattling sound, “Open the door!”
Huo Yi Sen remained unmoved, like a cold-blooded monster.
So Lin Yue Shu started to cry, softly and pitifully, biting his collar in panic and pulling the door handle again, biting and pulling repeatedly.
“I’ve already sent someone to the welfare institute to check the situation, calm down.” Huo Yi Sen put away his phone and said.
Lin Yue Shu knew that when it came to acting, a little too much would be over the top, so he stopped at the right moment.
He quietly lowered his head, occasionally wiping away tears.
Before long, a few men in suits entered the welfare institute and quickly came out again.
They knocked on the car window, whispering in Huo Yi Sen’s ear.
“After our… questioning, that uncle cried.”
Indeed, prejudice in people’s hearts is like a mountain.
But what fault does he have for the face his mother gave him? Facing those cute and pitiful children, he even took out his coffin money, asking for nothing in return, just hoping his small act of kindness could make the world a better place.
Lin Yue Shu listened: …
Earlier, he had squatted by the roadside for half a day, picking out such a repulsive middle-aged man.
At first, the sleazy man didn’t want to act with Lin Yue Shu, but under Lin Yue Shu’s monetary persuasion, he reluctantly agreed.
Unexpectedly, the sleazy yet kind-hearted man, seeing the innocent smiles of the children, felt a dull pain in his heart, tears streaming down, deciding to do something for the children, no matter how small, even if it meant getting a beating from his wife when he got home.
As long as these fragile little flowers could grow strong in the storm, what more could he ask for?
Lin Yue Shu was both amused and exasperated. He could see the sleaziness; he knew the kindness. He chose this man because he saw him helping a cleaner push a garbage cart against the wind and stopping a drunk troublemaker at the first opportunity. Though sleazy, he was absolutely righteous.
At this moment, Huo Yi Sen’s voice came from the front seat:
“Can you rest assured now?”
Lin Yue Shu nodded with a bit of embarrassment, tears in his eyes.
“The Alder Jewelry endorsement, Sunday night at seven, go to the Guanlan Hall Hotel, someone will be waiting for you there.” Huo Yi Sen threw out this sentence and started the car.
Lin Yue Shu nodded obediently: “I’ll be there on time.”
Huo Yi Sen drove the car out of the alley, heading in the opposite direction.
Lin Yue Shu looked around, holding onto the car seat, explaining:
“Representative Huo, my home isn’t this way.”
Huo Yi Sen didn’t say where they were going, just said:
“What if you go home and have another episode, run off and beat up that slea… that man, and the police find out you were in my car, thinking we conspired? How would I explain that?”
Lin Yue Shu blinked, half-smiling.
What a perfect excuse, as if someone would inexplicably go beat up a good-hearted donor, perfectly reasonable, definitely not trying to take someone home while they’re emotionally vulnerable for some fun, panting and asking, “Where else did he touch you?”
Lin Yue Shu quietly pursed his lips.
After laughing, he furrowed his brows:
“You’re overthinking it, I don’t have the habit of having episodes when I’m happy… and, and…”
The car suddenly fell silent.
After what felt like a century, Huo Yi Sen finally couldn’t help but ask:
“And what?”
“And, my husband is still at home, my phone is dead, if he can’t reach me, he’ll be worried.”
“Screech—”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sharp brake, leaving two water ripples on the wet road.
After a long time, the car behind, forced to stop, honked frantically, and Huo Yi Sen restarted the car.
After running a few hundred meters, the car stopped in front of a bus stop.
Huo Yi Sen unlocked the car door, saying coldly: “Get out.”
Lin Yue Shu obediently got out of the car, then saw a hand reach out from the car window, throwing out a few hundred bucks, and then the window closed, and the car sped off.
Lin Yue Shu picked up the money, put it in his pocket, and as he watched the car disappear into the rainy night, he couldn’t help but laugh.

Soaking wet, Lin Yue Shu returned home, going upstairs under Shao Cheng Yan’s scrutinizing gaze.
After taking a shower, he changed into a short slip dress and started a live stream.
As soon as the live stream started, a large number of people quickly flooded in.
Lin Yue Shu looked at the audience ID prompt in the lower left corner, and as he expected, both H and H.02 had entered.
The barrage was full of vulgar words, some wanting to see B, others wanting to suck milk, but he didn’t respond to any of them, only replying to one asking why he hadn’t streamed in the past few days.
“A friend’s wedding, went to attend, been busy for a few days.”
Mentioning marriage, the barrage asked:
[Host, are you married? You sound young, probably not married yet, right?]
Lin Yue Shu held a feather cat teaser, lightly scratching his knee, honestly saying:
“Married.”
As soon as he said this, the audience’s secret XP was stirred up, and the barrage went crazy, starting to weave stories of a lonely housewife and a plumber, even asking:
[Host, have you ever done it with someone other than your husband?]
Lin Yue Shu remained honest: “Yes, many times.”
[Damn! You little minx, I really want to come through the screen and f*** you.]
[Damn, you’ve done it with so many others, one more time with me won’t hurt, right? Host, tell me, how many gifts do I need to give to meet you offline?]
[How did you do it with others, was your husband next to you when you did it?]
Amidst the vulgar words, a rare moral little flag bearer appeared:
[You’re married and still fooling around outside, it’s disgusting, how can you face your husband?]
Lin Yue Shu was silent for a moment, then said:
“Sorry, but I’m also in my prime, full of vigor, I can’t be expected to live like a widow forever.”
[Wow! Didn’t expect such a surprise, do you and your husband not get along?]
Lin Yue Shu hugged his legs, swaying his body slightly, and in the silent void, the barrage began to speculate if the host had some unspeakable secret.
So one by one, they started frantically sending gifts.
Lin Yue Shu still didn’t speak, making the barrage anxious, almost wanting to crawl through the internet to eat the melon.
Suddenly, a colorful prompt floated across the top of the live stream:
[Fan “H.02” sent you an Armstrong rocket launcher!]
Following closely was:
[Fan “H” sent you an Armstrong rocket launcher!]
Lin Yue Shu was satisfied, his mute illness suddenly cured.
He tightly furrowed his brows, his fingertips picking at his knee, as if very nervous:
“Actually, I was too young and made a mistake.”
[And then, and then, say it quickly! [Send rocket launcher ×5]]
Lin Yue Shu sighed lightly, lowering his head:
“At that time, my dad got sick, our family was in a bad situation, no money, just waiting to die, so I had evil thoughts.”
“By drugging and taking photos to threaten, I successfully married my now wealthy husband, and… drove away his long-admired white moonlight.”
[Well, you really…]
[Forget it, it’s all in the past, now you have countless husbands loving you, don’t be sad, baby.]
[Your idiot husband not appreciating you is his problem, not yours~]
Lin Yue Shu gave a bitter smile, continuing:
“A nominal marriage, not being favored is normal, maybe like you said, I’m too lonely, or maybe it’s because I’m inherently a scumbag with no morals, who will die if I don’t get laid for a day.”
[Ah damn, keep talking, I’m about to burst.]
[I love you, I love you, baby, divorce that idiot and be with me, I’m really rich and handsome too. [Send rocket launcher ×100]]
[Did your dad’s illness get better? I know some great doctors, you don’t have to worry about medical expenses, I’m richer than the one above. [Send torpedo submarine ×10]]
Looking at the barrage of gifts, Lin Yue Shu sighed in his heart:
No wonder they say, people with a conscience can’t make money.
At this time, the big brother with the ID “H” sent a gift worth a hundred thousand, with only one word:
[Baby [heart]]
Lin Yue Shu’s toes curled, quickly calming down.
For a moment, he mistook “H” for “H.02,” feeling a small thrill, only to realize the real “H.02” Huo Yi Sen didn’t say a word after sending the gift.
No matter, as long as Huo Yi Sen was still in the live stream, it was fine.
Having received enough money, Lin Yue Shu was truly tired, so he said goodbye to everyone and quickly ended the stream.
The barrage was full of reluctance:
[Baby, if you figure it out, come find me, I’ve sent you my personal information and address in a private message. [Blow kiss]]
Lin Yue Shu rolled his eyes, if you keep sending random private messages, I’ll report you and mute you.
Time to sleep.
*
At eleven o’clock at night, in a luxurious flat in the top commercial area of the city center.
Huo Yi Sen sat on the sofa, his sharp brows slightly furrowed.
He typed in the secretary’s WeChat chat box:
[Check Lin Yue Shu’s marital status]
His finger hovered over the “send” button for a long time, then he deleted it word by word, tossing the phone aside.
Pouring himself a glass of red wine, he stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the bustling city, his brows furrowing even deeper.
Who Lin Yue Shu married, what his nature was, was his business, it had nothing to do with him.
They should have ended after that boring date, helping him deal with the Alder Jewelry vice president was just after-sales service, a businessman should have this attitude.
Going to his live stream was just to unfollow, seeing the live stream discussing “marriage,” he stayed out of curiosity, having nothing better to do, just watching casually.
Just watching casually.
…
Downstairs at Huo Yi Sen’s flat.
Known as the “god descending to earth, noble and abstinent” cyber husband Huo Xiao, at this moment, in a place fans couldn’t see, was holding a ball of red silk to his nose with his right hand, while his left hand polished the Armstrong cannon repeatedly.
Polished until it was shiny and smooth, its momentum surging like a rainbow.
The red silk was something he had casually taken from the hotel at the time, it had once bound Lin Yue Shu’s hands, soaked with his skin’s rich fragrance.
After a long, relieved sigh, Huo Xiao threw away the red silk, picked up his phone, and opened the live stream recording from earlier.
In the screen, Lin Yue Shu’s voice echoed repeatedly, clear as a babbling brook, wrapped in soft silk, soothing every detail of a person’s body.
Huo Xiao was still very regretful, he should have gone in directly back then.
Hearing the news of Lin Yue Shu’s marriage, he was extremely disappointed, but upon hearing that his marriage was nominal, his husband unwilling to touch him, his heart surged with endless tremors and an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
Baby, baby.
The barrage’s “baby” was a heartfelt hope that Lin Yue Shu would quickly come to his senses and kick out that tasteless pig.
As Huo Xiao thought about it, his brows furrowed.
The feeling came again.
After the sublimation, he glanced at the script proposal beside him, a light smile on his lips.
Lin Yue Shu, we’ll be seeing each other often from now on.
