Seeing that he wasn't guessing, Ji Mian lost interest and stopped smiling. He simply opened the box, which contained several white mice, but these mice were larger than ordinary mice. He put the box down, and all the mice rushed out and surrounded Li Bai.

Ji Mian patiently explained, "These rats will follow the scent of pheromones and stay where the pheromones are present, so they like to stay near Mr. Li."

Li Bai felt the rats crawling on his body. Although he was scared, he couldn't move.

"Don't worry, Mr. Li, they are not hungry yet, so they won't bite."

What if you get hungry?

“If it gets hungry, it will probably start by biting Mr. Li’s hand first,” Ji Mian said with a pitying look. “By then, Mr. Li will probably be too weak to even shout.”

"Please... let me go..." Li Bai's voice was barely audible as he pleaded, "I know I was wrong... I'll go apologize to Xia Fengguang..."

"Apologize?" Ji Mian asked, seemingly after a moment's thought, but quickly added with a laugh, "Do you think you deserve to see the glory? Oh, right, I almost forgot..."

Ji Mian picked up the syringe from the ground, and Li Bai asked tremblingly, "What...what do you want to do?"

“Mr. Li, don’t be afraid. I’m a medical student, so I know what to do… to make the patient suffer more.” He raised his hand and inserted the needle directly into Li Bai’s right eyeball.

Blood gushed out, and Li Bai trembled all over, letting out a wail—the loudest sound he could make.

The pain wasn't over yet, because Ji Mian smiled gleefully and changed the direction of the bloodstained needle, placing it on Li Bai's left eyeball. "I noticed that Mr. Li seemed very afraid of mice, so I thought that perhaps Mr. Li would feel better if he didn't see them. What do you think, Mr. Li?"

Li Bai naturally couldn't answer him. He was breathing heavily, feeling like he was going to die from the pain, but in fact, the man in front of him wouldn't let him die from the pain so easily.

“Mr. Li, I promised Fengguang I would only be gone for one day. I have to catch a flight back to City A, so I won’t chat with you any longer. But I imagine you won’t be lonely with so many little cuties with you. Please excuse me for taking my leave.” Ji Mian threw the syringe into the box, put his baseball cap back on, picked up the box, and walked to the door just as he had come. He turned back and looked at the blood-covered man on the ground, with six or seven rats scurrying around his body.

Hearing the footsteps stop, Li Bai made a final plea, "No... please let me go... I know I was wrong... I'm still young..."

"Young? Yes, my glory days are still very short." Ji Mian's smile was too cold. A long time ago, he thought about whether he should cause some kind of accident to happen to that silly girl, so that he wouldn't feel an indescribable sense of guilt every time she came to him. But he never had the heart to do it.

On what grounds? What right does Li Bai have to touch her?

Ji Mian let out a pitiful sigh, her unconvincing acting sounding extremely hypocritical. "Mr. Li, I forgot to mention, these rats have a big appetite. They'll get hungry in about three or four minutes. At that time, please treat them well, Mr. Li."

Enjoy it, enjoy the pain of being slowly devoured by rats.

The perfectly proportioned man left with a smile, walked out, and closed the apartment door behind him.
