On the wide, comfortable bed lay two naked bodies. Xia Jin’s head was foggy and heavy, and when he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a stretch of bronze-colored skin.
Xia Jin followed that bronze skin upward, and the confusion in his eyes only deepened. He was already groggy, but he remembered clearly that the last thing he had done before going to sleep was stay up all night playing games. There was no reason for him to open his eyes and see such a top-tier handsome man.
Just then, the beauty’s strong, powerful arm pulled Xia Jin in one swift motion. Two naked men were lying on the same bed, their one-up, one-down positions crossed together. Even Xia Jin, slow as he was, knew what that meant.
Xia Jin had always liked men. But because he hadn’t even graduated from college yet, he didn’t dare reveal his sexual orientation, and he didn’t dare go to some gay bar to hook up for a purely physical fling with no feelings involved.
And now, getting to have a beautiful spring dream didn’t seem like a loss at all. Xia Jin looked at the beauty on top of him, excitedly thinking that as long as he didn’t say anything, who would know what he was really thinking? Besides, since this beauty had been delivered right to his door, and was in a dream to boot, Xia Jin would never push such a beauty away.
After a round of passion, Xia Jin was a little tired. He wondered to himself if he could even get sleepy in a dream, but since he was sleepy, he had no intention of making things hard for himself.
He had had dreams within dreams before. By the time morning came tomorrow, the beauty and everything else would be gone. Thinking that, Xia Jin fell asleep with great peace of mind.
The next day, Xia Jin was jolted awake by the harsh sunlight. He still hadn’t fully come to, and as he felt the glaring sun of late morning, he shot upright like a zombie. Today was the old witch’s class. If he didn’t go, he’d be completely dead.
Xia Jin’s movement startled the person beside him. Lu Suyan was dressed in a tailored suit shirt, his eyes blazing with anger as he stared at the rogue on the bed who still hadn’t figured out the situation.
He, Lu Suyan, the dignified head of the Lu Family, a man who could stir up storms and have the final say in B Province, had somehow been drugged and slept with in a daze.
The bodyguards at his side were all useless trash that looked good but couldn’t do anything. In a bit, he’d replace every one of them. When they came to apply for the job, each of them had boasted about themselves as if they were unmatched in heaven and rare on earth.
Some were supposedly retired national athletes, some boxing champions, and some even ninth-dan black belts and underground fight ring kings. Their reputations were bigger and bigger, but their actual ability was smaller and smaller. Did they really think the Lu Family was some place to retire and collect pension money? They couldn’t even stop a man trying to crawl into bed.
After Xia Jin sat up, looking at the room, far larger than his dorm and far more elegant and handsome, he didn’t react for a moment to what was happening.
This place was clearly not his pigsty dorm! After looking around the room, Xia Jin immediately spotted the imposing man beside him.
At first, Xia Jin was overawed by the other man’s presence. Then he looked up, and his eyes lit up. Wasn’t this the top-tier beauty he’d slept with last night? Whatever the case, since the two of them had already had an in-depth exchange, they should at least be easier to talk to!
Because of the noise Xia Jin made, Lu Suyan had been watching him the whole time. When he saw the infatuated look on Xia Jin’s face, Lu Suyan’s expression darkened. He grabbed the neatly arranged clothes beside him and threw them onto Xia Jin’s naked upper body, his voice so cold it seemed capable of freezing steam into ice. “Put them on. Absolutely shameless.”
After saying that, Lu Suyan didn’t even put on his leather shoes. He walked out barefoot. It wasn’t as if he had never seen other men naked, but none of those men had looked at him the way Xia Jin did, all lustful and shameless. And when he thought that he had been set up and fallen for it yesterday in just that way, Lu Suyan’s face turned even darker.
Watching the man’s retreating back, Xia Jin’s first thought was time travel. Looking at that man’s expression, could it be that the original owner had forced himself on him? Thinking of the spring dream he’d had in his dazed state, Xia Jin’s heart sank. It seemed the original body’s drugging had only ended up benefiting him instead.
But for now, the most important thing was getting through the immediate crisis. Xia Jin put on his clothes, silently repeated countless times that this was a society ruled by law and that he wouldn’t be killed by this beauty, then walked out without hesitation.
The man’s golden-ratio body was half-reclined on the daybed. Sunlight fell across him, and he was so beautiful he looked like a flawless work of art, a spirit who had strayed into the mortal world.
“Had enough?” Lu Suyan’s voice, cold as ice, came over. Xia Jin nodded, and just as he saw the beauty’s face visibly darken, he hurriedly shook his head. “No, no. You can never get enough of beautiful things, no matter how long you look at them.”
Lu Suyan’s expression eased a little. At least this little thing still had some sense. But then, “How many people have you duped with your sweet talk?” The moment he thought that he had actually felt pity for some little liar, Lu Suyan’s face grew even uglier.
“Ah!” Xia Jin looked obviously blank. How would he know how many people the original owner had lied to?
“Name.” Lu Suyan was economical with words, his tone like he was interrogating a criminal.
Xia Jin stammered. He wanted to know the original owner’s name too!
Lu Suyan’s face grew even darker. This man who had crawled into bed with him still refused to tell him his name at a time like this. A bodyguard handed over a file. “Mr. Lu, all the information you wanted is here.”
As he spoke, the bodyguard gave Xia Jin, who was standing to the side looking like a model student, a subtle look. People really couldn’t be judged by appearance! Their boss had kept himself pure for twenty-eight years, only to be gobbled up by this pig.
Lu Suyan read through the thin few pages in one glance, and his face stretched long enough to rival two donkey faces. So this was why he didn’t want to say his name.
These few pages recorded Xia Jin’s life, and four words were enough to sum it up, a history of disgraceful misdeeds.
“Xia Jin,” the slightly low voice came from Lu Suyan’s mouth. Even that voice that could make ears pregnant still couldn’t stop Xia Jin from losing it next. “Age twenty-two, education: high school dropout, parents are state-owned enterprise workers, one younger brother and one younger sister in the family, raised in the countryside since childhood, sent back to the city by his older sister in middle school, relationship with parents and siblings… as incompatible as fire and water, dissatisfied that younger brother Xia Xiang was more outstanding than you…” When Lu Suyan got to that point, he stalled. Flipping two pages ahead, he went straight to the last sentence. “Repeatedly framed and bullied Xia Xiang, and after being driven out of the Xia family home by your parents, you still refused to mend your ways.”
Listening to this increasingly familiar plotline, Xia Jin’s head buzzed. In the end, his eyes rolled back and he fainted. Right before he passed out, Xia Jin knew he had transmigrated into the cannon-fodder green-tea bitch older brother of the male lead’s shou.
Lu Suyan stared at Xia Jin, who had collapsed onto the floor, and his mood was far from pleasant, because he still had one line he hadn’t finished reading. In order to get back at Xia Xiang, Xia Jin had crawled into his, Lu Suyan’s, bed.
Although the last line didn’t sound very nice, for a man like Lu Suyan, who had obsessive tendencies, not reading it through left him uncomfortable. But now the person who was supposed to listen had already fainted, and his thoughts were doomed to come to nothing.
“Bring me a doctor.” Lu Suyan ordered. Looking at Xia Jin’s delicate face on the floor, the breath stuck in Lu Suyan’s chest still hadn’t come out, and another one had built up on top of it.
Boss Lu now had a subtle feeling that he had been set up. That day, he had first been drugged, then had someone crawl into his bed. Now, fully conscious, he could only watch the culprit lying on the floor. Mr. Lu’s mood today was truly awful.
The place where Boss Lu was staying happened to be a famous hotel here, fully equipped with medical facilities, and the doctor arrived very quickly. The conclusion was that Xia Jin had fainted from fright and would wake up after a while.
The bodyguards behind him all stared at Xia Jin with bright, intent eyes, as if they were looking at some rare oddity. He really had gone all out just to crawl into bed.
Now that was a true warrior, daring to face a bleak life, daring to face a dripping flood of blood…
“Take him back to the Lu Family.” Lu Suyan ordered.
Those bodyguards had been interrupted in the middle of their inner fantasies and resignedly took up the work of porters. Looking at Xia Jin, who was sleeping like a pig, Boss Lu’s mood was extremely bad. If it were not for the fact that leaving this person here would lead to some gossip, he would definitely have walked away without the slightest hesitation, definitely.
