Xie Junyi’s room was a tidied-up storage room on the first floor. Chi Anyu had taken one look… aside from a bed that could barely be slept in, there was hardly any extra space to move around.
His mouth twitched slightly. “Is this even a place for a person to sleep?”
System 07 said expressionlessly, “Host, we have to follow the plot. The villain boss is supposed to be exploited by you in the early stages. This room is even where you made him sleep in the plot. Don’t forget, today’s triggered plotline still hasn’t been completed.”
Thinking about having to follow the plot gave Chi Anyu a headache. Offending the villain boss would make him die horribly later, but if he didn’t follow the plot, he’d be electrocuted. He was caught between a rock and a hard place, with no way to choose.
“System, does it really have to be like this?” Chi Anyu was still a little unwilling to give up.
System 07 answered without hesitation, “Host, this is the stage where you absolutely cannot break your character setting. This scene is already in the plot. You have to follow it and humiliate him.”
Chi Anyu took a deep breath and had no choice but to call Xie Junyi upstairs.
He leaned against the sofa in the room. He had just finished showering, and moisture still clung to his body as he crossed one leg over the other and looked at Xie Junyi.
Xie Junyi lowered his brows and eyes, his expression indifferent and distant. In a cold voice, he asked, “What do you need me for?”
Chi Anyu viciously threw his own underwear straight in front of Xie Junyi and said in a domineering voice, “Wash it clean for me! Scrub it by hand!”
System 07 hurriedly reminded him, “Host, there’s still one slap left. You haven’t slapped him yet!”
“He looks tough and thick-skinned. I’m afraid I’ll hurt my hand.”
System 07: “…”
“Besides, doesn’t the plot say to humiliate him? This is already humiliation. Whether or not I slap him isn’t important. Don’t be so rigid.”
System 07 had nothing to say.
Xie Junyi’s expression did not change. As if he were already used to this, he calmly bent down, picked up the underwear from the floor, and turned to the bathroom to start washing it.
The tips of Xie Junyi’s ears turned red, and an uncomfortable flicker passed through his eyes.
Soon, the sound of water trickling came from the bathroom.
Chi Anyu lounged lazily on the sofa, eating fruit salad while watching Xie Junyi hang up his pure white underwear to dry before heading downstairs.
After all, once the day’s plot was done, it was his time to relax.
Night fell.
Chi Anyu slept very soundly. He had never had the habit of locking his door.
The door was silently opened. A tall figure stood at the doorway, his entire body swallowed by darkness. His deep, dark eyes stared fixedly at the curled-up figure on the bed, as if he had already set his sights on prey that belonged to him.
His steps were light as he moved closer bit by bit.
Cool fingertips brushed across Chi Anyu’s forehead, gliding over his face like a boneless snake, before finally resting on his full, moist lips.
Xie Junyi’s breath tightened at once. Trembling slightly, he bent down, drawing their distance closer. He closed his eyes and thought of the brief, fleeting softness that had touched his lips earlier that day, and that uncontrollable feeling came back again.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
But his brain seemed to have been enchanted. In his eyes, there was only that vivid red pair of lips left.
It was only one kiss. It wouldn’t mean anything.
In the end, Xie Junyi still could not hold back. He kissed him. Their lips rubbed together fiercely, and the drool that spilled from the corner of his mouth was licked away clean.
In his sleep, Chi Anyu turned his head uncomfortably. His eyelashes trembled faintly and vulnerably, as if he were drowning in a lake and unable to breathe.
He suddenly opened his eyes and sat up in bed.
The sky outside the window was already bright.
Was he dreaming?
Chi Anyu sat on the bed in a daze for a few seconds. Then he rubbed his eyes, yawned, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Looking at his reflection in the mirror, with a tuft of hair sticking up from the top of his head, he stuck out his tongue and felt a numbness at the tip of it.
System 07’s voice sounded in his ear. “Host, another key plot character is about to appear in the next two days. You need to stay alert.”
Chi Anyu curled his lips dismissively. After all, System always said things like that, and he was practically sick of hearing it. Every day was a key plot event.
System 07 said quietly, “The son of your father’s white moonlight has already returned. He’ll probably be coming to the Chi family soon.”
Chi Anyu’s eyes instantly brightened. He really had never experienced this kind of dramatic, juicy plot in person. After tidying up in the bathroom, he headed downstairs without wasting a second.
Butler Ling smiled at Chi Anyu from the stairs. “Young master, you’re awake? Please have breakfast.”
Chi Anyu narrowed his eyes at Butler Ling not far away. Before, Aunt Liu had been in charge of things at home. He had no memory of when this butler had come to the Chi family.
“Where is Xie Junyi? Why haven’t I seen him?”
By the time Chi Anyu reached the dining room, he was much more awake.
Butler Ling smiled as he pulled out a dining chair for him. “He went to the hospital this morning, young master. Please eat first.”
Shenghe Hospital.
The doctor in the white coat looked at the patient before him and sighed.
Xie Junyi’s expression was calm as he stated the facts. “Whenever I see him, I feel a strong desire. Before sleeping, I always have an uncontrollable sexual urge. I’ve been suppressing it, but the medicine you gave me last time didn’t work.”
The doctor’s expression turned serious. He adjusted his glasses and said with a complicated look, “So, you often have a strong, persistent dependence on sexual behavior or sexual fantasies? That is actually a psychological disorder…”
Xie Junyi lowered his head and listened silently.
The doctor then picked up a pen, quickly wrote something on a piece of paper, and finally handed it to Xie Junyi.
“The last time you came in, I might not have been able to make an exact diagnosis. But since the medicine from last time still didn’t work, I can already determine it…”
Xie Junyi’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly. His long fingers gripped the report tightly, and he stood up from the chair and left. “I understand. Thank you.”
In the hospital corridor, Xie Junyi walked with one hand in his pocket, cold and distant. Just as he was about to take the elevator, a nurse rushed over in a panic and bumped into his arm.
The report in his hand fell to the floor.
The nurse quickly bent down to pick it up, but what caught her eye was a line of text.
Diagnosed as a sex addict.
Her pupils shrank slightly. She quickly handed it back to Xie Junyi. “Sorry, I was in too much of a hurry.”
Xie Junyi said nothing. With a cold face, he took the report and walked straight into the elevator.
