Chapter 18 Mad Dog
"Your exes..." I collapsed in Lin Yan's arms and poked his chest, suddenly remembering this, "What's going on?"
The air conditioning made me feel lazy, but my fingertips still had the tingling sensation of his teeth marks from half an hour ago.
This male ghost acted pitiful right after he had done something tormenting me, but now he is as content as a cat basking in the sun.
Lin Yan's fingertips, playing with my hair, suddenly stopped. When he lowered his eyes, his eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes: "You finally remembered to ask."
He brought up old grievances lightly, but it sent a chill down my spine.
The process of those ex-girlfriends changing from being gentle and lovely to being domineering not only spoiled them and made them lawless, but Lin Yan himself was even more unruly. He was a real-life example of "How Control Freaks Drive Lovers Crazy": he had to video check on them when he went out for parties, his phone had to share its location, and even the menu for afternoon tea with his bestie had to be read out in real time.
The most outrageous thing was the second one. Because she shared the milk tea order with a male colleague, he crushed the straw on the other person's workstation on the spot.
"Later, they all found me annoying." Lin Yan suddenly bit the back of my neck, nibbling on the soft flesh. "They said I was like a mad dog on a collar."
The hot air behind my ears caused a shiver, but I could hear a tenseness like a thin steel wire in his pretended relaxed tone - this was not self-mockery, but a wake-up call for me in advance.
I turned over and faced the red corners of his eyes, and suddenly remembered the boy he pushed away in the fire escape.
"That boy..."
"That boy was an accident..." Lin Yan explained immediately. "At that time, I had basically lost confidence in love. Suddenly, a boy said he liked me and asked me out. I thought it was novel, so I agreed. I didn't expect that he would be like that the moment we met..."
After listening to it, I was just horrified, but now I can taste the sadness - it turns out that his morbid possessiveness is all PTSD marinated by betrayal.
Just like an abandoned stray cat, when it is adopted again, it will always cling to the adopter's trouser legs tightly.
"You're still the best." He suddenly pulled me into his arms, nuzzling my sweaty temples. "Always stay where I can see you."
My ribs hurt from being strangled by him, but I could taste a strange sweetness in the pain - this was not a compliment to me, it was clearly like hanging a bell around the neck of a mad dog!
Later, when I was pressed against the bay window, I looked at the old man walking his dog downstairs and thought vaguely:
Chen Rui used to be so pure and indifferent, but now that he is being led by this male ghost, he doesn't even change his expression when he unlocks a new posture in front of the floor-length mirror.
The worst thing is that every time he says those fierce and vicious words with that face that looks so radiant with Buddha's light, I actually feel that being kept is a hundred times more pleasant than living alone.
It wasn't until one day I discovered that he had secretly backed up my phone's cloud that I realized this guy's madness had never subsided.
Just as I was about to explode, I saw him kneeling beside the gaming chair, holding a sliced melon. His eyelashes were still stained with the potato chip crumbs I had sprayed on him during our argument. "The backups have been deleted, and the location tracking is turned off... Don't move away."
At that moment, I suddenly understood his fear—not distrust, but fear of returning to the dark and cold nest.
Just like the moldy hoodie that I always keep in my closet, that was the retreat the goblin left for himself, but Lin Yan’s retreat... had long been burned to ashes by himself.
But how come Lin Yan is so smart and doesn’t know that for someone like me who lives alone, once I’m bound to someone, it’s a lifelong thing, just like playing a game.
I've finally seen through it. This man Lin Yan has recently welded the word "shameless" directly onto his pair of gold-rimmed glasses! And he even did it with a welding torch!
The 11:30 bell was my death warrant! As soon as my butt touched the expensive gaming chair, my teammates' screams burst through the headset:
"Brother Rui! Log in! I'm not going to fight Master tonight, I'm going to livestream washing my hair with a foot bath tub!"
This temptation is comparable to Lin Yan tempting the goblins with iced watermelons - can you resist it?
I counterattacked and instantly locked onto Yasuo, swearing in my heart: Just one game! If I win, I'll go to bed right away!
Three minutes into the game, a sudden gust of cold wind blew from the back of the chair.
Lin Yan was sneakier than a cat, and before I could turn around and curse, he was already hanging in the air! "Lin Yan, you fucking—" The curse words got stuck in my throat as he grabbed my waist, lifted me up, and stuffed me into his arms. This bastard had taken over my throne, his movements as smooth as a gaming chair assassin!
"You're an adult, and you're still making trouble?" He nudged my shoulder blade with his chin, his breath burning my ears. His fingers even pretended to help me straighten the mouse. "Last week on the sofa, weren't you also playing "Protect the Carrot" by rubbing against my legs?"
"How can that be the same?!" I yelled, my neck stiffening as something in my butt began to stir. "I'm playing in the promotion match now! I need to micromanage! Got it?!"
The guy laughed in a throbbing chuckle, his arms clasping around him like iron hoops: "Hold on steady, or you'll dodge into the wall."
I forced my eyes to remain fixed on the screen while typing away on the keyboard.
Lin Yan really was like a professional assistant, holding my wrist, which was shaking like Parkinson's disease, firmly in his palm - until the battle for the crystal broke out!
My adrenaline surged and I yelled "Attack the tower for me!" The moment the mouse left an afterimage, a ghost hand suddenly got under the hem of my T-shirt!
"Fuck!" I screamed, my hands shaking so much I pressed the "Golden Body" button. My teammates howled in the chat: "Brother Rui, are you waiting until Chinese New Year to use your Golden Body?! Holy crap, is your mic blowing up?"
I trembled as I turned off the microphone, and in the chat box, I threw out the most outrageous excuse of my life: "The network card just broke, the chair leaked electricity, and half of my butt is numb."
Teammate: "??? Is your gaming chair modified from a Tesla coil?"
Me: "...the power is off, do not cue"
After replying this message, I almost crushed my mouse!
The beast behind me was drawing spells along my waistline with his fingers, and his other claw was pinching the nipples on my chest and playing mahjong through the fabric!
Yasuo on the screen was shaking in a Z shape, and it was all thanks to my remaining muscle memory that I was able to output it.
After that, he became more and more excessive. The gaming chair turned into a "socket". I didn't dare to move at all. The slightest movement would cause me extreme stimulation.
The moment the "Victory" pop-up window lit up, I collapsed in his arms like a dehydrated fish, my back soaked with sweat enough to raise tadpoles.
"Won?" Lin Yan's satisfied voice sounded like a fox that had successfully stolen some meat, and when he pulled his hand back, his fingertips twisted in a vicious way.
He lowered his head and bit the sweaty back of my neck, delivering a fatal blow: "Holding me while playing games..." His hot breath filled my ears, "Is your waist softer than last week?"
I rolled my eyes in anger and wanted to kick him, but my legs felt as limp as instant noodles. I could only bar my teeth and snarl, "Lin! You're nothing but a walking mosaic! If you do that again—"
"Next time?" His arms suddenly tightened and began to twitch. "...will it be your turn to sit in the front and disturb me?"
I stared at the glittering golden victory icon with trembling hands, then lowered my head in grief and anger - I'm almost losing everything playing this crappy game!
