Boom!
Li Yuqiu's cell phone fell heavily to the ground.
Gu Xian's eyes widened, completely unresponsive. Xie Yunjing scoffed and lowered his head to crush him even harder.
"Fuck—" Gu Xian suddenly pushed Xie Yunjing away, rolled off the bed and covered his mouth, "You are a dog!"
Xie Yunjing lay on his side, a speck of blood on his lips. He met Gu Xian's angry gaze, and just as he was about to curse, he suddenly took a sip of the blood and revealed a provocative, evil smile.
"Oh."
“…”
Gu Xian shuddered visibly, and his curse words turned into inhaling and pursing his lips. When the wound on his lip hurt, he realized that he had swallowed Xie Yunjing's saliva.
“I…fuck!”
Gu Xian's face was ashen, but Xie Yunjing had taken the initiative to drink his blood first, so if he started to spit, he would always look like he had lost. And the tasteless saliva had long been swallowed along with the salty blood, so he couldn't spit it out.
He cursed softly again, stiffened his neck, and walked towards Li Yuqiu.
"Did you take the pictures?"
"I, I forgot..." Li Yuqiu hurriedly picked up the phone, turned on the screen, and showed a look of surprise. As if he had survived a disaster, he changed his words, "I took a picture!"
Gu Xian stretched out his hand, and Li Yuqiu's cell phone was in his hand.
There is only one photo, which is obviously the result of Li Yuqiu subconsciously pressing the camera button after being frightened. The background of the photo is a little out of focus, but the main subject is miraculously not blurred.
The out-of-focus background made up for Li Yuqiu's ugly straight-man photography skills, and instead gave the photo a more ambiguous atmosphere. Moreover, because of Xie Yunjing's effort, it actually looked quite lingering. As far as the effect Gu Xian wanted, this photo was quite sufficient.
“…” Gu Xian’s eyes were dark as he stared at the photo for two seconds before he silently clicked on the menu bar. His finger hovered over the delete option, but he still sent the photo to his mobile phone.
"Untie him."
Li Yuqiu took the phone that Gu Xian handed back and asked in confusion, "Ah? You're not taking pictures anymore?"
"You took a picture?" The wound on Gu Xian's lip was still bleeding, and he looked sinister.
Xie Yunjing lay on his side leisurely, posing like a beauty lying on a couch: "Why, are you not satisfied with my cooperation?"
Li Yuqiu shuddered, fearing he would become the victim of Gu Xian's rage. He quickly pulled Zhang Hejie over and said, "Come on, come on, untie them quickly."
Zhang Hejie was even more dumbfounded than him. He had to move closer to Gu Xian and ask, "If we let Xie Yunjing go now, wouldn't all the photos be in vain?"
As long as Xie Yunjing could rush back to explain, not only would the photos be useless, but the engagement party could even continue.
Gu Xian first gave Zhang Hejie a cold look: "Satisfied, how can we pass it in one go if we are not satisfied. And thanks to Master Xie's cooperation, I don't have to hide you for another night. After all -"
He wiped the wound on his lip vigorously, then pressed Xie Yunjing's lips and wiped the blood off his thumb. "We can't hold Young Master Xie down for biting people, right?"
Xie Yunjing frowned in disgust, Gu Xian narrowed his eyes in pleasure, and thrust his thumb hard between his lips: "Didn't Master Xie enjoy it just now?"
Xie Yunjing's lips were tightly pursed, so Gu Xian couldn't reach in, but he didn't force it. After all, he didn't want Xie Yunjing to bite his hand again.
Xie Yunjing quickly regained his composure, remaining unmoved by Gu Xian's pressure. Feeling bored, Gu Xian wiped his hands while snarling at Zhang Hejie, "Why are you panicking? Young Master Xie is still weak."
Even though they knew he was referring to Xie Yunjing's limbs, Zhang Hejie and Li Yuqiu couldn't help but look at the same spot on Xie Yunjing's body. Xie Yunjing's mouth twitched, but because his lips were covered in blood, he didn't say anything. He simply closed his eyes and pretended to ignore it.
"Why don't you untie Young Master Xie quickly?" Gu Xian said, putting on his clothes. "Do you want to stay with me overnight?"
The hotel was not a secret place. With the Xie family's ability, one night was enough to find Xie Yunjing several times. Staying here would undoubtedly be a trap. Zhang Hejie and Li Yuqiu did not dare to dawdle any longer.
Gu Xian swaggered away with the two of them, and even took away the tissues prepared by the bed in a rude manner.
Xie Yunjing stood up with some difficulty, staggering for two steps before he could steady himself against the wall. After washing the blood off his lips in the bathroom, he clutched the blood-stained tissue and stared at himself in the mirror. After a moment, he cried out in hatred.
"Gu--Xian."
Bang!
The expensive jade paperweight fell down with such a heavy blow that the sophisticated old butler was so frightened that his eyebrows jumped violently.
"Do you know how many people came last night? You've brought shame upon the entire Xie family!"
Xie Yunjing lowered his eyes and said nothing, allowing the flying jade fragments to hit his body. Because the force of the throw was too great, some fragments even flew high and scratched bloody marks on his face.
The old man, who had combed his gray hair back, glared angrily and threw out a stack of papers: "What the hell is going on!"
Papers fluttered down at his feet. The words on them were unclear, but the pictures printed on them were the ones that Gu Xian had carefully taken last night.
Although he and Gu Xian weren't well-known to the public, the guests at last night's engagement party were undoubtedly curious about his whereabouts. Any news featuring him and Gu Xian would surely draw their attention. So, even though the Xie family quickly removed the news from trending searches, everyone who needed to know already knew.
In the photo, he and Gu Xian are snuggling closely together, looking warm, ambiguous and even affectionate.
Xie Yunjing curled the corners of his mouth sarcastically, then raised his head and looked calmly at the dignified old man in front of him.
"That's it."
The old man's hair and beard trembled: "What did you say..."
"That's what I said." Facing the old man's rage, Xie Yunjing showed no fear. "I'm gay. I like men."
"..." The old man's expression seemed to crack for a moment, and then his face flushed red again. He suddenly stood up and slammed the table, "You beast!——"
The pen holder on the table was knocked over, but the old butler didn't bother to save the precious objects that had fallen. He hurriedly caught up with the old man and said, "Master! Master! Let's talk it over!"
"What the hell is talking nicely! This beast doesn't learn his lesson and actually goes to learn that kind of rubbish. Today I must teach him a lesson, cough cough--" Although the old man was furious, his old body did not allow him to lose his temper.
However, even though he was stopped by the old housekeeper, he was not willing to give up. He picked up the inkstone on the table and threw it towards Xie Yunjing.
“Kneel down!”
Xie Yunjing did as he was told silently, but his back remained straight and there was no sign of admitting his mistake on his face.
With the help of the old housekeeper, the old man breathed a sigh of relief. He glared at Xie Yunjing again and ordered him bluntly, "Change it!"
The old housekeeper tried desperately to signal to Xie Yunjing, but Xie Yunjing ignored him and said, "It can't be changed."
"..." The old man almost choked again. He stretched out his hand and pointed at Xie Yunjing, "Good! You are doing very well!"
"Bring me the cane! I'll beat him to death today!"
"Master, that's not the case. Young Master Jing is still young..."
The old housekeeper tried to mediate, but the old man refused to listen.
"Hurry up!" The old man was completely impatient. He urged and set off impatiently. "If you don't go, I'll go by myself!"
As a housekeeper, persuading the master with words and actions was the limit, and taking the rattan stick from the old man was absolutely impossible. So even if he couldn't bear it, the old housekeeper could only watch helplessly as the old man walked up to Xie Yunjing with the rattan stick and hit him hard.
"Will you change it?"
The old man had been a soldier when he was young, so his strength should not be underestimated. At this moment, he was furious, and when he hit Xie Yunjing with a stick, his whole body trembled.
And his answer is still: "It can't be changed."
“…”
The dull sound of the cane hitting someone was frightening. The old man didn't stop until he had hit him more than ten times. Panting, he leaned on the cane and asked again, "Will you change?"
Xie Yunjing clenched his fists tightly, trembling as he continued to straighten his back. He gritted his teeth and said, "I can't change it!"
The old man raised the rattan stick again, but the next moment, the door of the study was opened from the outside.
"Xie Guodong! Try hitting Xiaojing again!"
An old woman with an oxygen tube and an IV in her hand was pushed in in a wheelchair.
The old man's hands froze in the air, a hint of panic appearing on his angry face: "Why did you come back instead of staying in the hospital and recuperating?"
The old woman looked very frail, and her voice was not loud, but her aura was undeniable. She gestured to the people behind her to push her to Xie Yunjing's side, and said, "If you don't come back, will you let me beat Xiaojing?"
When the savior arrived, Xie Yunjing did not look happy. Instead, anger flashed in his eyes, but the anger was quickly replaced by guilt.
"grandmother……"
"Hey!" The old woman responded, but before she could thank Yun Jing for coming closer, she raised her hand to help him up from a distance, "Why are you still kneeling there? Get up quickly."
A subtle cracking sound echoed as the wheelchair passed by, and the old woman finally noticed the jade fragments scattered across the ground. The kindness that had graced her face when Xie Yunjing called her "Grandma" instantly vanished. She angrily slapped the wheelchair handle and said anxiously, "How could you, an old fool, have the heart to let Xiaojing kneel in a place like this!"
Old Master Xie was so embarrassed that he slapped his face. He put down the cane, but his neck was still stiff. "This little beast, this brat, is not learning his lesson. Can't I teach him a lesson?"
"Xiao Jing, stop kneeling now. Don't worry about your grandpa. Grandma will take care of it for you." The old woman was so distressed that she dragged Xie Yunjing to his feet even though he had no strength left. "Look, your legs are bleeding..."
She muttered, and then accused Mr. Xie: "Isn't it just that you like men? Who is bothering you? Why don't you learn to be a good person?"
"It's natural for men and women to go out together. It's abnormal and abnormal for him to like men!" Old Master Xie glared, his hand gripping the cane, ready to move. "Get out of the way! I'm teaching him a lesson for his own good!"
"You still dare to say it's for his own good! You said it was for San San's own good, but what happened?" A startling roar suddenly erupted from the old woman's frail body, and gradually became as shrill as the howl of a female beast. She struggled to pull Xie Yunjing behind her, "As long as I, He Yinglian, am still breathing, don't even think about touching Xiao Jing!"
A flash of grief crossed Mr. Xie's face, and he looked a little dejected, but he still didn't give up. "That fortune-telling you were thinking about, doesn't it also talk about the combination of yin and yang? You said he had to get married before he was 25 to stay safe. If word got out that he likes men, no girl would be willing to marry him. Now you're not in a hurry anymore?"
"Who says you have to be a girl to get married? Now same-sex marriage is allowed in the country. And I've calculated it too. That kid named Gu Xian's horoscope is more compatible with our Xiaojing's than that girl Tao Ranran's!"
Xie Yunjing's eyebrows jumped: "Grandma!"
Mr. Xie said angrily, "You're talking nonsense! How can two men's horoscopes possibly match?"
"If you don't believe me, go and calculate it yourself!"
Xie Yunjing held the old woman's hand and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Mr. Xie.
"I'll ask you again, will you change it or not?"
"..." Xie Yunjing opened his mouth slightly, but finally insisted, "I can't change it in my lifetime."
"Okay, okay!" Old Master Xie threw away the cane and looked at Xie Yunjing as if he knew everything. "Then you will marry that kid named Gu!"
He didn't give Xie Yunjing a chance to defend himself, and immediately asked the old woman, "Are you satisfied now?"
