Chapter 54 Next, I'll teach you how to understand.

The two of them fell onto the grass together.

Shen Jin let out a muffled groan. He was initially worried that he might bump his head again and have to shave one side of his head and get stitches. His heart was pounding.

After all, shaving one side of your head already looks bad, so shaving the other side would make it even worse.

But the pain he expected didn't come. His head felt like it was being protected by something, and it didn't hurt. It was just that the person on top of him was a bit heavy, making him groan uncomfortably: "Ugh... Get up! You're so heavy!"

Yan Yu's hand, which had been protecting the back of his head, scraped against the grass, causing some aches and pains. He seemed relieved to be alright and stared at the person beneath him, saying, "Why are you running? Didn't you just recover not long ago?"

Although he had heard that Shen Jin had regained consciousness and was fine, he didn't investigate further about Shen Jin's condition at the time, for some strange reason, until he saw him alive and well now.

The moonlight tonight is exceptionally bright, with a hazy, dreamlike beauty, enveloping the lush, verdant courtyard. There is an indescribable tranquility and beauty, and occasionally, one can hear the chirping of insects from the grass.

Under the moonlight, he saw Shen Jin's face clearly, which he hadn't seen for several days. It seemed to be the same as he remembered, yet it also seemed different. The stubbornness in Shen Jin's eyes was gone, replaced by confusion and shock. Shen Jin's face was also very pale, and the flesh on his cheeks had sunken in quite a bit.

Yan Yu thought that he had been hospitalized for a while due to injury and might not have recovered yet, and had lost a lot of weight. His heart ached again, and he looked at him with more tenderness.

Then, in a low voice, he asked, "Didn't Bai Yujin give you anything to eat?"

"Huh? No...no..." Shen Jin opened her clear, innocent eyes, still a little scared. The more she stared at that face, the stranger she felt. She stammered, "He...he gave me food..."

The moment Shen Jin saw him, he felt as if something had filled the empty space in his heart, causing ripples of ambiguous emotion to spread through him—a mixture of joy and instinctive fear…

"You..." Yan Yu paused. He felt that Shen Jin seemed a little different, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He could only ask in a deep voice, "Why don't you want to see me?"

"Huh?" Shen Jin's eyes widened slightly, not quite understanding what he was saying, and he could only stammer, "I...I, I didn't...I just don't know you..."

These words caused Yan Yu's face to turn deathly pale: "What did you say?"

Seeing his expression suddenly turn terrifying, horrifying images flashed through Shen Jin's mind. It seemed that someone had once disregarded his protests, pinned him to the bed, and stood there with a grim face...

Even though Shen Jin couldn't remember what had happened, his soul still trembled instinctively. In a moment of panic, he started to bar his teeth and claws, trying to push the other person away, while choking out, "Help! Waaah! Big White, help me!"

"Don't shout!" Yan Yu was startled by his shout. Knowing there were other people present, he quickly covered the man's mouth and said in a deep voice, "I won't do anything to you! But if you dare to shout again, then I really will!"

Yan Yu didn't know the specifics of Shen Jin's situation, but seeing him like this, and recalling the image of him lying in a pool of blood, he could guess some things.

He found it somewhat unbelievable, but for some reason, he also felt a sense of relief. After all, if Shen Jin couldn't remember what happened before, wouldn't he also forget that he was the one who caused him to become like this...?

His threat had an effect on Shen Jin. His clear eyes welled up with tears, making him look pitiful. He bit his lip and said, "I won't yell anymore... okay... please don't really bully me..."

Yan Yu was taken aback and instinctively let go of his hand. He felt a little soft-hearted, but also somewhat at a loss, unsure of how to deal with him at this moment. Just as he was about to say something, Shen Jin suddenly opened his mouth: "Help—! Bad people are bullying me!"

Yan Yu: "?! ...

You promised you wouldn't call me that!!

"Hmm..."

He had barely uttered a sound when Shen Jin's lips were sealed shut, leaving him speechless. He could only stare blankly at the person so close to him, his sharply defined features clearly visible in the bright moonlight—like the portrait he had inadvertently drawn.

Even though they had only met a few times, he was able to effortlessly depict that person's incomparably exquisite features in a painting...

At that moment, the person lowered their head, bit his lips, and licked them, causing a tingling sensation. Their wet tongue entered his mouth, making his breathing instantly become disordered.

"Hmm... How strange..." Shen Jin thought in a daze, only feeling the other person constantly biting his lips. It was very strange, but he felt a little comfortable. He forgot that this was a bad person and that he should struggle and push him away.

Yan Yu kissed his soft lips, plundering them wildly. Perhaps it was because they hadn't seen each other for a while, but he missed this person madly and kept sucking the sweetness from his mouth.

Hearing Shen Jin's rapid and disordered breathing, and seeing his dazed and confused state after being kissed, Yan Yu's smile deepened, and he couldn't help but soften his voice and say, "Be good, take a breath."

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shen Jin gasped for breath, his ears still a little red, his eyes darting away, too embarrassed to meet his gaze. He stammered, "...I can't. If you cover my mouth...I won't be able to breathe..."

“Like this… I’ll teach you.” Yan Yu pinched his chin again, his lips gently touched his lips, he licked them with his tongue and then held his lips in his mouth, kissing him deeply while slowly teaching him to breathe.

Shen Jin's head was spinning, and he couldn't distinguish anything. He was quickly led by the nose and couldn't help but follow his words. He didn't make a fuss and let him hug and kiss him. His body gradually went limp, and his clear eyes were a little hazy at this moment.

When the long kiss ended, Yan Yu pressed his forehead against his, took a breath, gazed at his face, and said gently, "Be good, don't call me that anymore, okay?"

Shen Jin was in a daze, like a lamb to the slaughter. He nodded haphazardly as he was told, and weakly said, "Um... I won't call anymore..."

Yan Yu gently stroked his swollen lips with his fingertips, wiping away the silver liquid from the corner of his lips. Staring into his dazed and confused eyes, he coaxed him patiently, "That's a good boy. Where is your room? I'll take you back to your room."

At this moment, Shen Jin's mind was like that of a child, perhaps even weaker. Coupled with the sense of familiarity the person before him gave him, he vaguely lowered his guard and pointed in a direction: "That..."

"No, that's not it..." Shen Jin withdrew his hand, shook his head violently, denying the direction he had just pointed, and rambled on, "Da Bai Bai said there are many bad people... many bad people, and we can't get close to bad people, or we'll get hurt again..."

When he said the words "I will get hurt again," Shen Jin didn't know why, but his heart ached slightly, and his hazy eyes involuntarily dimmed, filled with sadness.

Those words were like a knife, gently cutting into Yan Yu's wound. The pain was so intense he could hardly breathe. After taking a few deep breaths, he whispered, "No, it won't... I won't get hurt again..."

He figured that when Shen Jin said he was "hurt again," he was referring to the incident at the hospital. It was just an accident, and he hadn't really meant to hurt him, so that kind of thing wouldn't happen again...

Shen Jin glanced at him lightly with her somewhat sad and dim eyes, and smiled in an ambiguous way.

Yan Yu's pupils suddenly contracted. Shen Jin should have lost his memory or even been in a state of mental impairment, but that ambiguous smile made Yan Yu's breath catch in his throat. He instinctively felt that Shen Jin did not believe his words...

Why?

Ultimately, it seems like the only time I really hurt him was at the hospital... and that was unintentional, an accident...

In a daze, Xie Li's seemingly true yet false words echoed in Yan Yu's mind—

"He actually wanted to push me out to break up the fight, but I was a little scared, so I dodged it..."

"So he missed, stepped on shards of broken glass, lost his balance and crashed into the middle of you, taking your punch..."

Yan Yu's face turned pale. He didn't know why he remembered what Xie Li had said at this moment. He could only shake his head and try not to think about the question for the time being. After all, Shen Jin was in such a state that he would definitely not be able to get any information out of him.

"Listen to me, it's windy outside, and you're not feeling well yet. Go back to your room first," Yan Yu coaxed softly. He could feel that the injury caused by Shen Jin pressing down on his head was getting worse, and he felt a sharp pain.

Seeing that Shen Jin had calmed down and was in a dazed state, Yan Yu felt relieved and gently picked him up from the grass, saying, "Don't make a sound. If you wake up the others, I'll have to keep bullying you."

When Shen Jin was picked up, he was slightly taken aback, a sense of déjà vu washing over him. This made him instinctively obedient, and he nodded and blinked, "Oh..."

"That's a good boy." Yan Yu smiled, finding the obedient and docile Shen Jin extremely adorable. He couldn't help but hug him and give him a good squeeze, while also marveling at how thin and small his body really was.

He couldn't help but frown, looking at Shen Jin and saying, "Bai Yujin, is the sect not buying you any good food? How come you've gotten even thinner since I last saw you? You're practically just skin and bones."

His captivating peach blossom eyes seemed to hold the stars and the sea, incredibly deep. It was as if staring at them for too long would draw you into their vortex, causing Shen Jin to pause slightly, somewhat hesitant to meet his gaze.

Then Shen Jin shook his head, unable to resist explaining for Bai Yujin: "No... Da Bai Bai is super nice to me. He buys me lots of delicious food and he's never mean to me... He's so incredibly nice to me! He's also very gentle! And his smile is so beautiful!"

Yan Yu frowned, his face darkening further, revealing a strong sense of displeasure. Although he didn't know what he was arguing about, he still said sourly, "Don't I look good when I smile?"

"Huh?" Shen Jin, who was praising Bai Yujin with great enthusiasm, was taken aback. He didn't understand why he suddenly asked such a question. He glanced at him and, upon seeing Bai Yujin's dark face, swallowed nervously. "He's handsome..."

It doesn't look good! At least it looks fierce right now! I'm scared.

Shen Jin only dared to think these words in his heart, and did not dare to actually say them out loud, because deep down he still had a kind of fear of the person in front of him...

So he was very afraid that he might say or do something wrong and upset him, in which case he would be severely punished...

Yan Yu wasn't a mind reader like Shen Jin, so he couldn't know what Shen Jin was thinking. However, after hearing what he said, his expression softened slightly, and he then asked, "Then you said he's gentle... what about me?"

He remembered that when they first met at the bar, Shen Jin had clearly said he was gentle, but somehow, that had never happened again...

Recalling the scene of that person flipping over the high wall and landing, Shen Jin felt that the person's movements were rough and didn't seem to fit the description of gentleness. He couldn't help but ask, "Are you gentle?"

Yan Yu had only asked the question because he was very unhappy that Bai Yujin had praised him. He hadn't been very serious about it, but Bai Yujin's unexpected response made Yan Yu's face turn pale instantly.

Shen Jin didn't know what was wrong with him, but as soon as he saw the change in Shen Jin's expression, he instinctively became afraid of him. Like a child who had done something wrong, he lowered his head awkwardly and stammered, "I...I was wrong...I won't say anything more, please don't be angry..."

He couldn't help but clench the hem of his clothes slightly with both hands. Even though it was a cool night, his palms still couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Shen Jin couldn't understand why this was happening...

His appearance left Yan Yu stunned for a moment, a sharp pain shooting through his heart, making it difficult to breathe. He couldn't understand why Shen Jin, who used to love clinging to him so much, was now so afraid of him...

Yan Yu felt a tightness in his throat, making him very uncomfortable and somewhat resentful. Staring at Shen Jin's evasive eyes, he said hoarsely, "I just... accidentally hurt you once..."

Is there any need to be so afraid of me...?

Shen Jin's eyes widened suddenly: "What?"

"It's nothing." Yan Yu closed his eyes, shook his head, and took a deep breath. "I just wanted to say that you don't need to be so afraid of me. I won't do anything to you."

"Oh..." Shen Jin responded weakly. Since he didn't dare to provoke him, he could only respond to him in any way he wanted.

He was secretly praying that Big White would appear, beat up the bad guy, and rescue the poor little thing from his clutches!

Yan Yu had no idea what mischief the little thing in his arms was up to or what nonsense it was thinking. He just felt a little heavy-hearted, thinking that his relationship with Shen Jin shouldn't have turned out like this.

After all, they got along quite well at first...

"Does your head still hurt?" Yan Yu stared at his head, which had been shaved and wrapped in gauze. He felt guilty, thinking that he was the one who had caused him to end up like this, but he didn't know how to make it up to him.

Because of this incident, he transferred one million to Shen Jin's account, not knowing if it would make up for it...

"It hurts...it hurts..." Shen Jin hadn't been held like this in a long time, and he felt a little uncomfortable. He shifted awkwardly, but was afraid the other person would suddenly let go and drop him, so he didn't move. "But when I'm not touched, I don't feel the pain. Da Bai Bai said it will be fine..."

Yan Yu's face darkened, and he couldn't control his emotions for a moment. He said coldly, "Don't mention Bai Yujin to me again!"

He didn't like Shen Jin calling Bai Yujin's name repeatedly and so intimately. Damn it, he wondered if Bai Yujin had secretly instilled some strange ideas in Shen Jin while he was acting stupid.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

Therefore, he didn't notice that the person he was holding was startled by his sudden change in tone. His body trembled instinctively, he pursed his lips, lowered his eyes slightly, his long eyelashes trembled, and he dared not utter another sound.

If you don't want to talk, then don't talk, why are you being so fierce...

"That's a good boy." Yan Yu thought he had listened to him, so he smiled with satisfaction, lowered his head and kissed his smooth, jade-like forehead, and couldn't help but say seriously, "Don't believe everything Bai Yujin says."

Shen Jin dared not disobey him, fearing he would displease him, and could only say, "Oh..."

Yan Yu was very satisfied with his obedient appearance. He liked his docile, submissive, and compliant manner, and disliked his arguing with him... just like before when he kept making him angry and trying to break off the relationship.

"You have to be obedient and well-behaved, and don't make me angry, then I'll treat you very well." Yan Yu smiled and placed a light kiss on his forehead, not thinking there was anything wrong with his thoughts.

After all, it's normal. What kind of person is Yan Yu? It's an honor for whoever he treats well. So he naturally felt that he should treat Shen Jin the same way. As long as Shen Jin behaves well, doesn't make him angry, and doesn't think about getting rid of him or leaving his side...

Then he will treat him very, very well...

The premise is that he doesn't allow anyone to have the thought of leaving him.

otherwise……

Yan Yu's eyes were as deep and dark as the night, flickering with unreadable emotions. He looked down at Chen Jin in his arms and said in a low voice, "You are not allowed to refuse to see me without my permission, nor are you allowed to suddenly disappear, understand?"

Shen Jin was stunned, his face turned pale, and he stammered, "Wh-what...?"

Yan Yu didn't care about anything else. He only felt safe when he had everything under his control. Therefore, he couldn't read the fear in Shen Jin's eyes. He just said in a deep voice, "Promise me."

His overly cold and indifferent gaze made Shen Jin's breath catch for a moment. Not daring to resist, he could only lower his eyes and obediently nod: "Oh... okay, I'll listen..."

Shen Jin said this, but deep down he couldn't help but wonder, even if I were to disappear from your world without a word one day, what would you do...?

The thought flashed through my mind for a moment, then quickly disappeared back into the depths of my heart.

"He's a good boy. He'll get candy if he's obedient." Yan Yu coaxed him like a child, smiling brightly. He gently stroked Chen Jin's tousled hair and said softly, "Alright, let's go back to your room now. It's cold outside."

Bai Yujin settled Shen Jin in this place, which is considered safe. The area is very secure, with security guards outside the residential area, so ordinary people can't get in. However, Yan Yu can, of course, come in.

Shen Jin is usually very well-behaved, never crying or making a fuss, and he doesn't run out at night. As a result, the servants in the house gradually relaxed, slept soundly, and didn't notice anything unusual.

Yan Yu carried Shen Jin and easily went upstairs in the direction he pointed, entered his room, locked the door, and glanced around the large room.

Although he secretly wondered if Bai Yujin hadn't been feeding Shen Jin, which was why he had become so thin, the place he arranged for Shen Jin to live was excellent, with everything high-class and complete, and he was extremely generous.

"So you're staying in this room?" Yan Yu withdrew his gaze, glanced at the person in his arms who seemed a little awkward and unnatural, and his expression shifted slightly as if he had thought of something.

“Yes, I sleep here…” Shen Jin didn’t dare to move when he was being stared at, then pointed to the soft bed and whispered, “Look, that’s my new soft bed, it’s not hard…”

He remembered the hospital bed he had slept in when he woke up before; it was hard and had no elasticity. This one was much better; every night when he slept, he could bounce around on it, which was quite fun.

Yan Yu detected a hint of smugness in his tone, and wondered what was so great about a bed, especially since it was prepared by Bai Yujin. He became annoyed and said, "It's just a bed, there are as many as you want."

Shen Jin was originally showing off his soft bed with a bit of joy, but now he was doused with a bucket of cold water, and he pursed his lips in grievance and fell silent again.

I just think he really is a big bad guy; he won't even listen to or appease me...

Yan Yu carried Shen Jin to the sofa and put him down. He then glanced at the large bed, his gaze darkening for a moment before he said in a cool tone, "Have you always slept alone?"

Shen Jin didn't understand why he asked that, but he nodded anyway and said truthfully, "Yes, it's very comfortable to sleep in a big bed by yourself."

Hearing this, Yan Yu's expression softened slightly. He felt relieved that Bai Yujin hadn't taken advantage of his momentary lapse in judgment to do anything outrageous, otherwise…

Just thinking about it made Yan Yu's expression even more awkward.

At this moment, Shen Jin didn't notice any of this. He only noticed that the back of his hand was scraped and bleeding a little. After a moment of hesitation, he pointed to his hand and said with some concern, "You're injured, and you're bleeding..."

Yan Yu snapped out of his daze, looked down at his scraped hand, then glanced at the soft, tender Shen Jin, and couldn't help but extend his hand to him, smiling as he said, "You're injured. I don't know how to bandage, do you want to help me?"

"Huh?" Shen Jin looked up at him, blinked innocently, and said matter-of-factly, "I don't know either."

Yan Yu: "..."

After their eyes met for a moment, Shen Jin belatedly realized that this person had injured himself while protecting his head in the grass. Feeling a little guilty, he could only nod and say, "Okay, then I'll bandage you up... but..."

When he said the word "but," he looked up at Yan Yu with some unease. Yan Yu was a little puzzled but found him extremely cute. He couldn't help but pat his head and said with a smile, "But what? Tell me, I won't do anything to you."

His gesture of touching her head startled Shen Jin slightly. She felt a little awkward, and after a moment of confusion, she felt both warmth and a chill. She finished speaking softly, "But I didn't bandage it well…you can't be angry…"

Shen Jin was afraid that he would suddenly get angry with a sour face, or yell at him or scold him, and he wouldn't know what to do then...

After all, he knew that he was just a pitiful little thing in the hands of the evil demon king.

Yan Yu looked at him and couldn't help but laugh. The hand that had been stroking his hair moved down to touch his pale face and gently pinch it: "Who said I would get angry?"

Perhaps it was the gentleness in his actions and gaze that made Shen Jin unconsciously relax a little. His eyes darted around a few times, and he bit his lower lip: "I'm just afraid..."

"Don't be afraid," Yan Yu said with a smile, pinching his cheek, loosening his tie, sitting down on the sofa, and then placing his injured hand on his lap to tease him. "Hurry up, or it might be too late to save him."

Shen Jin's face suddenly turned deathly pale. He looked at him in disbelief, nodded awkwardly, and hurriedly stood up from the sofa. He stammered anxiously, "Oh! Oh! Okay, okay, you...you wait here!"

When Yan Yu learned of Shen Jin's address, he rushed over late at night. He had encountered those ferocious dogs outside and was chased for a while. He was quite tired. Now, he leaned back on the sofa, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the person who was anxious and uneasy after he had teased him. He couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Shen Jin hurriedly ran to the cabinet and rummaged around for a while before running over the small medicine box that Bai Yujin had prepared for him and placed in his room. He happened to run into Yan Yu leaning against the sofa, staring at him with a smile, which made him pause and feel a little awkward.

"Why are you standing here? Come over and bandage me!" Yan Yu waved the back of his hand, frowned, and said as if in great pain, "Help me quickly, or I'll die."

"Oh..." Shen Jin responded, finding this person strange. He had clearly said something very tragic, yet he sat calmly on the sofa watching him, completely unafraid.

He slowly approached Yan Yu, somewhat awkwardly wiping the bloodstains off the paper, and was about to pour disinfectant on it when Yan Yu said, "Just use a cotton swab to dab some, no need to pour it out."

"Oh..." Shen Jin felt a little strange. He couldn't understand why he would ask him to help bandage someone when he clearly knew more than him. But he still obediently used a cotton swab dipped in disinfectant to gently wipe away the bloodstains.

After wiping away the bloodstains, Shen Jin grabbed a few more ointments, unsure which one would work, and simply waved them in front of Yan Yu: "Which one do you want to apply?"

"This one." Yan Yu pointed to one of them, letting him hold his hand carefully as he gently applied the ointment. He felt a warm current in his heart, and the hand being held felt even warmer.

As he bent down to apply medicine and bandages, Yan Yu's gaze fell on his face, staring intently at him, from his smooth hair, to his smooth, jade-like forehead, his long eyelashes, his high nose bridge, his fair face... and then to his lips, which were slightly swollen from being kissed by him not long ago.

Yan Yu's prominent Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he longed to lower his head and kiss those alluring lips again, to savor them carefully...

Yan Yu had many people around him, but none of them stayed with him for very long before he got tired of them. But he didn't know why, after meeting Shen Jin, many things changed.

He softly called out, "Shen Jin..."

"Hmm?" Shen Jin raised his head suspiciously, but before he could react, Yan Yu grabbed his chin, his handsome face gradually enlarging before his eyes, and soft lips pressed down, "Mmm..."

He simply lowered his head and gave him a light kiss, and Yan Yu smiled with satisfaction, finding it truly delicious. He was so willing to let go that he only wanted to ravage it thoroughly...

"Wait..." He tried to lift him onto his lap, instinctively struggling, and stammered, "W-what are you doing... I'm going to apply medicine for you..."

Yan Yu gently nibbled on his slightly red lower lip, his beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a hoarse and low voice, "Let's not apply the medicine for now."

"Huh?" Shen Jin blinked, somewhat confused. What was he thinking? First he said he couldn't be saved if he waited too long, and now he said he wouldn't apply the medicine. Did everyone else besides him have such a fearless attitude?

While Shen Jin was lost in thought, Yan Yu had already made his move, gently lifting Shen Jin up and placing him on his lap. He put one arm around Shen Jin's waist and touched his lips with the other, smiling as he said, "Let's not apply the medicine now. There are more important things to do..."

Sitting on his lap like this, Shen Jin felt stiff and uneasy. She shifted awkwardly, clearly uncomfortable, and stammered, "I won't apply the medicine... but... could you... let me go first?"

To his surprise, the man not only ignored him, but instead pulled him even closer, nuzzled his hair, kissed his ear, and gave it a suggestive lick: "Be good, don't move."

Shen Jin was embarrassed by his actions, her ears began to burn, and her hands, which had been pushing him away, paused. She whispered, "Why..."

Yan Yu laughed, hugged him tightly, nuzzled him gently, buried his face in the crook of his neck and bit him, a hint of desire appearing in his peach blossom eyes, his voice hoarse and low as he laughed.

"Huh?" Shen Jin looked at him, completely bewildered. "Then... what does that mean?"

Yan Yu was taken aback, somewhat surprised: "Don't you understand?"

Shen Jin blinked innocently, looking bewildered: "I...I don't understand..."

Yan Yu chuckled and said, "It's alright, I'll teach you next..."
