Chapter 6 Kidney Deficiency? The young master actually treats Li Xin like an engine...

The soft cake was made in the afternoon. Li Xin guessed that Su Jinmu hadn't eaten for a long time and would feel uncomfortable eating something cold, so he heated it up in the kitchen before serving it to her.

After returning to his room, Li Xin thought carefully for a moment. He realized that the other person didn't like milk, so they probably didn't like boiled eggs or boiled vegetables either.

It was a mistake that he didn't even notice.

Young Master Su cared a lot about his college entrance exam. If Lin Zhige hadn't intervened at the Spring Banquet, he probably wouldn't have shot that arrow that pierced through two targets.

Come to think of it, the young master saved him, which led to the trouble that followed, and he ended up sending people food he didn't like.

Giving them just some milk is already considered being lenient.

Li Xin lowered his eyes, his long, slender, pale fingers tracing the spot on his chin where the young master had pinched him. The fingertips moved slightly, and a dark smile curved his cold and dignified face, as if he were savoring the memory.

“…Su Jinmu,” he murmured.

That sweet scent was definitely not the smell of perfume.

Li Xin chuckled softly, his eyes filled with excitement.

.

Su Jinmu took the pastries back to her room.

As expected of the protagonist, he can still deliver food without batting an eye even when his face is pinched and he's forced to eat. However, Li Xin is not the type to repay evil with kindness.

Either they're waiting to retaliate later, or they have other interests to gain.

In the original text, Li Xin mostly endured Su Jinmu's constant bullying and framing without caring.

He didn't care about the bullying from the vicious cannon fodder, because in his eyes, "Young Master Su" was going to die sooner or later and would be a victorious collectible in his display case.

Indeed, this was the case. Not only did "Su Jinmu" die, but she also suffered a series of tortures and abuses before her death, including being bound, whipped, and restrained.

Su Jinmu took a bite of the pastry.

In that case, it's perfectly normal for him to use a little bit of that abuse on the protagonist beforehand.

Su Jinmu gave a shy smile.

.

The second afternoon was for swimming lessons. The Su family manor was quite large. To the left of the main gate was a glass greenhouse and garden, and to the right were artificial hills, streams, and a long swimming pool.

Since Su Jinmu learned to swim, the coach has never come again; he has been training on his own according to the schedule.

He used to be very obedient, practicing diligently even when no one was watching him, but now he's less willing to continue being so well-behaved.

Su Jinmu popped her head out of the pool, wiped the water off her face, rested on the edge of the pool, looked at Li Xin who had just returned, and beckoned to him.

Can you swim?

It was already evening, and the golden sunset cast an alluring hue on the people in the water. Their long eyelashes were glistening with water droplets, and their delicate, flamboyant eyes were bright and clear, like siren that devoured souls.

Li Xin was dressed simply, and was extremely tall. His eyebrows and eyes appeared even more dignified and refined in the honey-colored light, but his eyes were dark as ink, concealing danger.

Li Xin's gaze lingered involuntarily on the young master's neck, where water droplets rolled down. His eyes were dark and inky, and he slightly curved his lips, replying softly, "Yes."

Su Jinmu pouted. In the original story, after he was sent to the Li family, someone from the Li family would tie him up with a rope and throw him into the lake to cook tripe.

This is a swimming pool; it's too shallow to rinse off.

Su Jinmu felt a pang of regret. He looked up, his clear eyes making him seem like a harmless water sprite. "Go to the housekeeper and get a swimsuit. Go back to your room, take a shower, and change into it before coming to find me."

After he finished speaking, he found himself a swimming ring.

When Li Xin returned, he saw Su Jinmu propping herself up on her arms and lying on a bottomed swimming ring that was about half the size of a person and almost like a small rubber boat. A thick, long rope was tied to the protruding handrail next to her.

Su Jinmu must have swum for quite a while; the areas outside her short-sleeved swimsuit, such as her wrists and knees, were a light, damp pink.

Su Jinmu casually tossed the rope around and headed straight for Li Xin, lazily and imperiously ordering, "Tie it around your waist, then swim with me."

Although it was cool, he was too lazy to swim.

I'm so tired.

Li Xin: "...??"

Li Xin caught it, paused meaningfully, and asked, "Shall I take you sightseeing?"

Will the water used to rinse the young master have that sweet fragrance?

Su Jinmu nestled on the swim ring, her head and fair legs casually resting on the edge of the ring, her feet comfortably not submerged in the water.

"Stop talking nonsense."

Li Xin did as instructed, tied the thick rope around his waist, entered the pool, stretched his body, and used his waist strength to gently swim forward with the young master.

The water rippled, and a breeze swept over me, carrying cool, refreshing vapors that made even the sweltering summer day feel more comfortable.

Su Jinmu squinted her eyes contentedly and looked at the boy in front of her.

Perhaps because there were no suitable swimsuits, Li Xin only wore swimming trunks. His pale, stone-carved waist was bound with a thick rope, and he pulled the rope by hand like an ancient boatman, quickly rubbing his skin until it turned red.

Li Xin has extremely pale skin, and even the slightest touch of crimson on her skin makes her appear scarlet and ferocious, with a ghostly and alluring beauty.

She swam gracefully and slowly, being careful not to splash water on him.

She had a good face and figure, but she wasn't quite the kind of person he expected to be bullied and abused.

Su Jinmu sat up slightly. There wasn't much rope left after he finished tying it up. He stretched out his foot and, as the boy swam forward, casually placed it on the boy's calf and suddenly stepped on it.

"Why is it so slow?"

The boy lost his balance for a moment, and the touch of the water on his legs was smooth, warm, supple and delicate. He sank halfway into the water and then floated back up.

Li Xin gently wiped the water from his face, his eyes slightly darkening.

It has no sweetness.

But Young Master Su's body was warm, even the soles of his feet were hot.

Swim faster.

Su Jinmu said gently, her eyes curving slightly, "Otherwise, I'll push your head underwater."

As a villain, he didn't say anything as outrageous as stepping into the water.

He is so kind.

Li Xin steadied himself, turned around and glanced meaningfully at the snow-covered young master Su, his eyes as black as ink, and slightly curled his lips, "Alright."

He accelerated, the water vapor carrying the wind swept past quickly, Su Jinmu raised the corners of her mouth, and then saw that he had reached the edge of the pool ahead. Li Xin did not slow down, quickly turned around, stepped on the edge, and darted out at an extremely fast speed.

The swimming ring was large, bulky, and difficult to maneuver. It slammed into the wall due to inertia and quickly tilted slightly. Su Jinmu slid down, tilting towards the refined and composed boy in front of her.

Su Jinmu: "..."

The protagonist is really not kind.

Su Jinmu's smile vanished. She kicked against the wall to help herself turn, looked at Li Xin, and with the swim ring against the wall, reached out to grab the rope and pulled hard backward.

The rough rope got caught in the boy's slender waist and abdomen, pulling him back and making him float vertically on the edge of the swimming ring.

Su Jinmu looked down at him, "What, you want to overthrow me?"

Overthrow the villain's rule?

Li Xin remained calm, as if nothing had happened, his demeanor upright and refined. "How could that be? Didn't the young master tell me to speed things up? Was I not serving him well enough?"

"..."

Seeing his nonchalant demeanor, Su Jinmu chuckled, tightened the rope in her hand, and kicked the boy in the waist and abdomen.

"Don't try anything funny." Su Jinmu pressed down with her foot, her voice gentle yet icy. "Otherwise, next time, the rope will be around your neck."

A faint, sweet fragrance permeated the air. Li Xin lowered his eyes, feeling the intense heat of the other's soles pressed against his lower abdomen, his breathing becoming almost imperceptibly heavier.

Suddenly, he asked, "Will the young master tie it up himself?"

Su Jinmu: "???"

Why do you seem so excited?

Su Jinmu had Li Xin pull the swimming ring for three hours. During that time, his parents and older brother were probably dealing with Lin family matters and did not return. However, all the servants who came and went could see it clearly.

The usually gentle and kind young master has inexplicably changed his temper today, treating Li Xin like a machine.

The servants dared not ask, nor even look at them, secretly clicking their tongues in amazement, exchanging glances discreetly before quietly leaving.

.

The next evening, Su Jinmu had someone move a deck chair to the side of the garden.

He lay down, closed his eyes, and felt the wind swirling around him, contentedly asking Uncle Tao to get him a glass of tomato juice.

The butler paused for a moment, "Young Master, Madam doesn't allow you to eat outside of mealtimes."

The young master had never made such a request before.

Su Jinmu waved her hand, closed her eyes and let the wind blow on her, "Go get it, I'll explain if Mother asks."

After saying that, he used his waist to gently rock the rocking chair.

The butler witnessed the young master's unusual behavior yesterday, but didn't dare to question it and obediently went to get it.

When Li Xin returned from outside, he immediately saw the handsome young master rocking back and forth on the recliner, wearing only loose shorts, with his tender legs exposed, looking soft and vulnerable.

"Li—"

The butler approached with a glass of tomato juice and was about to reprimand Li Xin, who was standing in the way. Li Xin looked up, his face, backlit, revealing a hint of gloom. His dark, cold pupils suddenly shifted and locked onto Li Xin.

The way those eyes darted around was almost like that of a wild beast. The butler was caught off guard and fell silent, his throat choked as if it had been choked.

Li Xin, did you ever have this kind of... clearly defined ferocity before?

Su Jinmu glanced at him silently out of the corner of her eye, then closed her eyes again.

The butler was still stunned when Li Xin stepped forward, took the tomato juice from his hand, went to the young master who was rocking with his eyes closed, knelt down on one knee, adjusted the angle of the straw, and gently touched his rosy, moist lips.

His voice was low and slow, with a touch of indifferent politeness, "Young Master, tomato juice."

The straw brushed against the corner of her mouth, causing a tingling, slightly itchy sensation. Without opening her eyes, Su Jinmu took a sip from the other person's hand.

The protagonist is a high school student, and he has been carefully recalling this part of the original text these past few days.

Li Xin lay low in the Su family. In fact, he did not simply get into the Su family through recruitment. The protagonist had good grades and found Su's parents to discuss cooperation.

The condition is that the student will definitely rank in the top three in the province in the college entrance examination and work and study at the Su family's home. After the college entrance examination, the media will publicize it, saying that the Su family is helping students out of kindness, which will enhance the Su family's reputation.

So he had previously stabbed his own palm through and framed Li Xin, wanting to fire him, but his parents stopped him.

The public recognition that a top scorer can generate is immeasurable.

At least he's better than that skinny horse that hasn't even been given away yet.

The handsome young master on the rocking chair had his eyes closed, swaying gently. His long eyelashes trembled slightly, and his moist, soft lips were stained with a little tomato juice, making them a beautiful, rosy red.

Li Xin's eyes darkened, and his hand holding the cup tightened unconsciously, carrying a hint of secret expectation.

If he spills tomato juice on Su Jinmu now, will Su Jinmu grab his chin and force-feed it to him again?

"Cough cough."

A strange voice rang out. Su Jinmu opened her eyes and was surprised to find two young people approaching from a distance, each carrying a suitcase.

The housekeeper stepped forward and said, "This is a work-study student sent by Lixin School. He has packed his clothes and belongings and will be moving in tonight."

Li Xin glanced back, nodded slightly, and introduced Su Jinmu, "Jiang Jing, Qiao Tingrui."

Jiang Jing? The protagonist is Jiang Jing (the bottom)?

Su Jinmu, with a straw in her mouth, sat up slightly to take a closer look.

In the original story, the protagonist, who is a top student in the school, goes to work and study at a wealthy family's home before the college entrance examination. The school is worried that the protagonist will have psychological problems, so it arranges for two other students from the same school to go to work and do the same job.

One of them is the protagonist, Jiang Jing, who is pure, kind, and innocent, forming a stark contrast to his vicious villain.

In the original text, whenever he abused Li Xin, Jiang Jing would stand up to defend him and condemn his wickedness.

Over time, it became an indelible light in the protagonist's heart.

ha.

It still sounds like a redemption story.

Su Jinmu sipped her tomato juice.

The best way to escape is to fake your death.

Since they're all going to die anyway, it's perfectly normal and fun for the villains to let loose and torment the protagonist before they die.

Su Jinmu raised the corners of her mouth, kicked Li Xin's knee with her bare feet without any politeness, her eyes gleaming with a wicked glint of amusement as she glanced at the three of them out of the corner of her eye, lively and unrestrained, leisurely and methodical.

"Is this soft texture, caused by the tomato juice filling, a sign of kidney deficiency?"

"……"Oh.

Li Xin spoke in a deep voice, his voice close, "Haven't you seen whether I have kidney deficiency or not, young master?"

Su Jinmu: "???"

He suddenly remembered the day he pulled off Li Xin's bath towel.

Big doesn't mean not big.

No, this topic has gotten a bit risqué.

Li Xin twitched the corners of his mouth, his gaze lingering on the kicked knee, then on the young master's smooth soles. He slowly curved his lips into a smile, and the glass tilted more and more, tomato juice overflowing the rim.

Jiang Jing hurriedly stepped forward.

Su Jinmu temporarily put aside the lewd thoughts in her mind and looked over with interest. Jiang Jing's fair and delicate face was adorned with a pure smile, her eyes slightly rounded. She first touched Li Xin's clothes.

"Senior Li, is this the first task? I've learned it."

Without saying a word, he reached out and took the tomato juice, steadily keeping the other end of the straw that Su Jinmu was holding in her mouth from leaving the surface of the juice. Unable to squeeze Li Xin out, Su Jinmu stretched out her arm with bright eyes, saying, "Second Young Master, please drink."

Li Xin: "..."

Su Jinmu: "...???"

Su Jinmu raised an eyebrow, took a few sips with an ambiguous expression, and then noticed something unusual upon closer inspection.

The main character is the bottom, and he seems somewhat familiar.

It was the one who, after he killed two people in one go at the Spring Banquet, was so frightened that he lost his mind and placed a quiver of arrows in front of him.

Jiang Jing beckoned to another student, Qiao Tingrui, and handed him the cup with a determined look, saying, "It's your turn, hold on tight."

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu drank a couple of sips without any hesitation. Li Xin looked at Jiang Jing and the other man, his face cold and gloomy. He touched the back of his teeth with his tongue and said coldly, "This is not your job."

Li Xin took the cup back, and after turning around, the glass finally returned to his hand. He turned to look at Su Jinmu, his gaze fixed on her, and said in a gentle voice, "There's sediment at the bottom. Let me get the young master a new cup."

Su Jinmu finished the last two sips through the straw and casually waved her hand, "No need, I'm full."

He drank too quickly, even though we fed him in turns.

Li Xin: "..."

Li Xin looked regretfully at the empty glass, then glanced at the two people beside him, a cold, enigmatic smile playing on his lips.

It's in the way.

Seeing that they hit it off so quickly, Su Jinmu felt a sense of novelty, like watching a 3D novel live. After thinking for a moment, she deliberately said, "Li Xin, get them two new drinks. You're not allowed to drink any."

He glanced at it out of the corner of his eye and said, "Go wash my cup."
