Xiao Yu is going to be beaten to death.

Chu Sinian had rushed out, and traces of anger still lingered on his face. He gripped the steering wheel, looking at the completely dark sky, and his anger gradually subsided.

Why bother arguing with a mentally ill person?

Has he forgotten how terrifying Chen Chi was when he went crazy back then? He was hitting people, smashing things, and even threatening suicide. Now that things are better, the bugging device isn't such a big deal anymore.

It's nothing serious.

Chu Sinian gritted his teeth and tried to comfort himself.

This series of unexpected events left him irritated and angry within a single day, and the kick he had just received had exhausted all his energy.

Chu Sinian hadn't felt this tired in a long time. In the past, no matter how intense the work, studies, or accidents were, they couldn't break him. But it was Chen Chi who did it.

Chu Sinian tightened his grip on the steering wheel.

Is Chen Chi's erratic behavior normal?

After we parted ways at the cabin years ago, has he really gotten better?

Chu Sinian asked himself.

When he left, Chen Chi had indeed stopped going crazy. Doctors assessed his condition multiple times and said he was approaching normal before he felt relieved enough to go to Switzerland for treatment.

But what if it gets worse later?

Chu Sinian was unaware that he had never seen Chen Chi again after leaving, nor had he paid any attention to him.

Chu Sinian looked at the brightly lit, bustling city in the distance, touched the earring on his earlobe, pursed his lips, and stopped thinking about it.

Now, it's not just Chen Chi, who's stubbornly refusing to leave, that's facing us.

Xiao Yu, who had already had the restaurant decorated, smiled and fiddled with his wine glass, looking like he was in a very good mood.

He glanced at the empty restaurant, where the dim red lights flickered, illuminating the night view outside the large French windows. The slightly dim atmosphere exuded an ambiguous feeling.

He glanced at his watch and, seeing that the agreed time had passed, wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he crossed his hands and tapped them listlessly.

"Young Master, the food is getting cold. Should we change it?"

Xiao Yu waved his hand, "Go ahead, order the same dishes, and hurry up." Before the waiter could even reach for the dishes, Xiao Yu, who was looking ahead, stood up and looked at the person walking into the elevator.

The person was slender with long legs and a slim waist. A hint of white skin was visible through the high collar of their long neck. They had a narrow jaw, light red lips, a high and delicate nose, and deep, moonlit eyes beneath eyelids that were narrow at the front and wide at the back. They gazed at the person quietly.

At that moment, Xiao Yu, who had already fallen in love at first sight, felt his heart stop again.

Xiao Yu walked over almost unsteadily, pretending to be at ease, "Si Nian, take a look at the dinner I prepared for you, and see if it suits your taste."

Chu Sinian avoided his hand and went straight to sit down. "Do you have any wine?"

Xiao Yu raised an eyebrow and gestured to the waiter beside him to bring over the wine.

“Drinking without eating will hurt your stomach, young master.” Xiao Yu smiled and pointed to the foie gras. “Try this, it’s their signature dish.”

Chu Sinian agreed, forked a piece to try, and found it to be quite good; he hadn't had a decent Western meal in a while.

"How have you been lately? Why are you always worrying about Ning Zicheng? Why don't you come out and have some fun too?"

“I offended you last time, so it’s understandable that you were angry with me. Look how I can apologize again. I thought you weren’t angry anymore.”

"If you hadn't taken your anger out on me using Yi Rou as an excuse last time, I would have thought you didn't care anymore. Now, how can you forgive me?"

Chu Sinian remained silent as Xiao Yu continued his incessant chatter. He leisurely savored his food, glancing at the flashing text messages on his phone screen.

"I know you're upset. Try to figure out how I can make it up to you. You know I like you so much, of course I'll agree to anything you ask."

Chu Sinian let it go in one ear and out the other, casually opening the text message.

No alcohol allowed.

"I know I was wrong. I was out of my mind last time. I'm just used to being wild..."

What did he mean by "offended"?

What does it mean to take out your temper on Yi Rou?

Chu Sinian opened his text message and sent a message to his assistant, "If you say another word, I'm leaving immediately."

Xiao Yu stopped speaking, "Alright, Young Master Chu has the most power."

The waiter had already brought the wine, and Xiao Yu took it and poured it into Chu Sinian's glass. "Knowing you're a seasoned drinker, I brought out my hidden gem, Romanée-Conti. I don't know if you'll like it."

Chu Sinian responded, picked up the glass, and took a sip. It was mellow and silky, with rich layers of flavor, from fruity to floral notes, accented with a unique minerality. Quite good. It ranked slightly above average among the wines he had tasted.

"Can."

Upon hearing his agreement, Xiao Yu was overjoyed and couldn't hide his smile. "If you like, I can keep an eye on wine auctions and bring you a few bottles later."

Chu Sinian gave him a few ambiguous glances, "Young Master Xiao is truly magnanimous."

"What does this mean to you?"

Chu Sinian didn't want to talk to him.

"I've heard about what your assistant has been up to lately," Xiao Yu said with his usual nonchalant smile. "Are you trying to undermine the Xiao family business?"

"Young Master, are you doing this for Ning Zicheng or for yourself?"

Chu Sinian didn't expect him to find out so quickly. It seems there were informants among those companies. "You're joking. If I really made a move, why would I come to the appointment?"

Xiao Yu wasn't angry when he denied it. "You did the auction on purpose, Si Nian. You know I'm never stupid."

Yes, Chu Sinian knew that Xiao Yu would realize he was deliberately tricking him, and he didn't hide it from him. He knew that Xiao Yu would buy those things in order to please him.

"I know you're very generous."

Xiao Yu licked his lips, somewhat impatiently, "Then... how about some reward?"

The phone screen started flashing rapidly. Chu Sinian turned the phone upside down. "You're in a hurry."

Xiao Yu laughed heartily, "I've been waiting for you for years, of course I'm anxious! I can never even get a chance to ask you out normally."

Chu Sinian didn't intend to waste any more words. He wiped his mouth and hands and said, "The computer? I'll revise the contract."

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "It's in the hotel room. Come with me to get it?"

Chu Sinian frowned. "No need."

He stood up, but his mind went blank for a moment, and his legs suddenly gave way, causing him to collapse back into the chair.

He propped his head up with his hand, his rapidly shutting-down brain struggling to function, and slowly looked at the bottle of Romanée-Conti.

He only drank half of it; he shouldn't be this drunk.

He looked up at Xiao Yu and saw him smiling as he walked towards him, saying with an ambiguous look in his eyes, "Last time I tried to take off your clothes, I hadn't even gotten to your belly before you woke up. I've been thinking about it for a long time."

Xiao Yu squatted down and brushed aside a strand of hair that had fallen into Chu Sinian's eyes. "You can be shrewd in some ways, never letting yourself suffer a loss, and always holding a grudge. But you can also be naive. How dare you come to this appointment alone again? Do you really think that just because you have a powerful background I won't dare to touch you?"

"Human hearts are treacherous, my little Si Nian."

Chu Sinian almost laughed out of anger.

Xiao Yu must have tucked his pants over his head.

However, if he really brought a computer, and there are original documents on it, then it would have been worth the trip.

Xiao Yu picked up Chu Sinian and headed for the elevator. Chu Sinian instinctively struggled, knocking over things on the table. He stared at Xiao Yu without fear in his eyes. "I advise you to let me go. There's still a chance to make amends."

Xiao Yu noticed that the struggle in his arms was gradually lessening, and his smile grew wider. "You're so naive, Si Nian. I'm the kind of person who, once I want something, I have to get it. I know you're not gay, and I know you don't like Yu Shi, but that's okay, sexual orientation can be changed."

Chu Sinian felt weak all over. He glanced sideways at the earring he was wearing and inadvertently caught sight of the screen that was flickering under the table.

He forced a smile, watched the elevator doors slowly close, and then closed his eyes.

Don't drink it.

No more drinking.

It will cause stomach pain.

Have you eaten enough? It's time to come back.

Still not enough fun?

He has ulterior motives towards you.

I'll come pick you up. Don't be angry when you see me.

What does it mean to have your clothes taken off?

【I have arrived. 】

Chen Chi drove to the hotel downstairs, and before the car had even come to a complete stop, he opened the door and walked into the lobby. He looked at the precise location on his phone screen and stepped into the elevator.

"Sir! Your car cannot be parked at the lobby entrance!"

Chen Chi glanced coldly at the receptionist who rushed over.

The receptionist immediately stopped in her tracks, her body radiating a sense of being targeted by a wild beast, as if she were about to be strangled to death at any moment.

A staff member ran over and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

The receptionist's voice trembled slightly as she said, "Call...call security."

Chen Chi memorized the location and immediately ran to room 2317 after arriving on the 23rd floor.

The entire floor was eerily quiet, as if it had been cleared out beforehand. But standing prominently at the entrance to room 2317 were two burly men.

They exchanged a glance upon seeing the approaching person, then remained still and waited for him to get closer. Just as he was about to reach them, they suddenly attacked, only to be caught off guard and kicked away.

Seeing this, another person tried to seize Chen Chi's lifeline, but was thrown to the ground by him with a back throw.

Before the two could react, they lunged forward again in pain, only to see the man forcefully break a vase in half and use the sharp shards to stab them.

In the blink of an eye, ruthless methods instantly suppressed the two.

Chen Chi calmly watched the blood splatter onto his cheek, then raised his sleeve to wipe it away.

He then stood up and kicked the door open.

Xiao Yu, who was inside the door, had noticed the commotion early on and was frantically grabbing his laptop, looking for a place to escape.

Meanwhile, Chu Sinian, whose hands were tightly bound to the headboard, lay limp on the bed, covered in sweat, his gaze filled with a physiological tinge of tears.

Chen Chi strode over and silently untied Chu Sinian, his movements quick and gentle.

He took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped the sweat from Chu Sinian's forehead. He then noticed Chu Sinian's swollen and red wrist.

It only lasted a short while.

It only lasted a short while.

Chen Chi patiently held back, walked over and threw Xiao Yu, who was about to rush to the door, to the ground, and then slammed the door shut.

With a loud "boom," it seemed as if the entire building was shaking.

Xiao Yu was thrown into a corner, his head slamming straight into the corner of the table, excruciating pain flowing out along with his blood.

He unconsciously touched the back of his head, and when he saw the bright red liquid on his hand, he almost fainted.

Hold!

Where the hell did this thing come from?!

Ignoring the pain, Xiao Yu crawled with difficulty, trying to reach the phone that had fallen not far away.

Chen Chi turned his gaze to the somewhat weak Chu Sinian and said, "I called a doctor before I came. He'll be here soon."

Chu Sinian managed to utter a few words, "It's nothing...it's not an aphrodisiac."

Chen Chi's jaw muscles bulged, and veins bulged on his forehead, neck, and even arms. He suppressed his voice and said, like a wild beast about to go berserk, to a weak animal, "Don't be afraid, sleep for a while, you'll be fine when you wake up."

As he spoke, he walked step by step toward Xiao Yu, crushing his phone under his foot.

He pulled the rope from the ground and wrapped it around the knuckles of his bulging hands.

A chill ran down Xiao Yu's spine as fear, like a flood, overwhelmed him with an overwhelming aura of violence.

He tried to move his feet in panic, but to no avail; he could only thrash about like a fish out of water.

Chen Chi bent down and grabbed his collar, dragging him towards the living room like an animal. Xiao Yu suddenly shouted, "Chu Sinian, save me! He'll kill me, he'll kill me!"

Chen Chi closed the door and dragged Xiao Yu into another room.

Chu Sinian frowned slightly, wanting to shout out to stop him.

His sinister demeanor just now made him seem completely reckless.

Chu Sinian had a bad feeling and tried to get up, but the door was opened again.

It was an assistant and several bodyguards.

"Sir, are you alright?" The assistant asked, accompanied by a doctor.

Chu Sinian weakly smiled and said, "I'm fine. Go next door and check on Xiao Yu. Don't let Chen Chi really kill him."

The assistant agreed, the doctor examined Chu Sinian, and the bodyguards tidied up the people in the corridor.

The assistant shuddered at the sight of the object mixed in with the red carpet. Standing in the next room, he spoke nervously, "Mr. Chen, my husband asks you to go easy on him."

Chen Chi remained silent; only muffled, agonizing groans and the sound of a rope being lashed across the floor could be heard from inside the room.

The assistant thought to himself, "Oh my god."

"Mr. Chen!"

The voices inside the door suddenly became clearer; one could hear someone mumbling incoherently, "I was wrong... I'll never provoke you again... I'll give you anything you want... Let me go... Let me go."

Hearing the increasingly faint voice, the assistant suddenly banged on the door, shouting, "Mr. Chen, please don't be impulsive! Mr. Chen!"

Chen Chi looked at Xiao Yu, who could only open one dark eyelid, and said, "I'm asking you, what's this about taking off clothes?"

Xiao Yu dared not say it; he really dared not say it.

He sobbed and choked with remorse, deeply regretting that he had harmed Chu Sinian.

He hated Chu Sinian for not obeying him, and he hated the person in front of him even more.

Something that popped out of who-knows-where.

He just wanted to sleep with him to threaten him; what's the big deal?

Xiao Yu cried, not understanding why he was being treated this way. It was just sleeping together, so what!

Isn't this how it's been all these years?

Those little boys and girls all swallowed their medicine and obediently waited for him in bed! He even felt sorry for Chu Sinian because he hadn't experienced this before, so he only gave him medicine to make him weak all over. Wasn't he being chivalrous enough?

It's just fucking sex!

What exactly went wrong?!

With tears streaming down his face, Xiao Yu watched as the person in front of him suddenly picked up a lighter, lit it expressionlessly, and asked with utmost calmness, "I'll ask you one more time, what's the deal with taking off your clothes?"

Xiao Yu trembled and stammered, "Last time... I went to... Switzerland with him... while Ning Zi... Cheng and the others... weren't there... Chu Sinian had... a fever, and I wanted to... do something to him... He..."

Suddenly, the door was kicked open.

The assistant looked at Xiao Yu, who was breathing weakly and had a wad of burning tissue in his mouth, in horror and unconsciously took a step back.

Chen Chi glanced at him, tossed out a tissue, and wiped his hands. "How is Chu Sinian?"
