Chapter 17 Blurred Light and Shadow

Pei Du looked at the table and picked up one of the Rubik's Cubes. The surface of the cube was smooth and each side was the same color.

The timer next to him had already gone black. Sheng Shi picked it up with a envious look and said, "No...it's timed out."

Pei Du gave him three hours, and now the time has already exceeded who knows how much. Sheng Shixian was wary of Pei Du and emphasized the time specifically to prevent Pei Du from finding an excuse not to acknowledge the fruits of his labor.

Pei Du of course knew that he had not exceeded the time limit, so he played Sheng Shixian's every move in restoring the Rubik's Cube in real time, and sent a special reminder to Pei Du when the three hours were up.

Sheng Shixian only managed to twist one side in half an hour, but he managed to restore all five Rubik's Cubes within three hours.

Pei Du looked at Gouqie Tousheng who had been holding a sign in the air. Gouqie Tousheng's light ball was wrapped in a layer of blue light. He had been keeping silent in a pretentious manner since Pei Du entered the room.

Pei Du asked it: "You watched him restore it."

After coughing several times, it changed into a childish voice and said in a rising tone: "Yes, I have been watching him diligently and responsibly all the time, and I have never been distracted!"

Pei Du was very skeptical: "Are you sure?"

I took a quick look and said, "Of course, the male lead took advantage of his high IQ to dismantle the Rubik's Cube and put it back together. I was watching him the whole time!"

Pei Du: “…”

There are many ways to restore the Rubik's Cube. Sheng Shixian chose the simplest and most brutal one, which was also beyond Pei Du's expectations.

He looked at Sheng Shixian, whose black hair hung down and whose deep eyes concealed his emotions. He leaned back against the sofa, ready to receive his prize: "Feet."

Pei Du: “…”

"Okay." Pei Du was silent for a few seconds and didn't object. He took back the handcuffs and stuffed them into the drawer, then sat next to Sheng Shixian with the remaining handcuffs.

Sheng Shi was jealous of the rare cooperation at this time. He stretched out his hand and let Pei Du handcuff him: "Game."

Pei Du laughed: "You still want to play"

Sheng Shiyan tasted the sweetness. He lowered his eyes to look at the handcuffs on his hands, the sharp claws pricking his skin intentionally or unintentionally.

"It's all right." Pei Du didn't intend to keep Sheng Shixian locked up forever. He wanted to give him some benefits so that he would have a better impression of Pei Du and avoid him drooling at Pei Du's neck every day.

Pei Du tightened the iron chain on the handcuffs, limiting the range of movement of Sheng Shixian's hands, and said, "Next time you beat me in the game, I will uncuff you."

Sheng Shixian didn't say anything. His gaze stayed on the small piece of porcelain-white wrist exposed by Pei Du for a while, and then he slowly lowered his eyelashes.

Pei Du changed the bandage on Sheng Shixian's right leg before going to bed at night. The muscle tissue there was severely damaged. Just by looking at the degree of twisting of his leg, Pei Du knew that it would take a long time for him to fully recover.

Sheng Shixian's legs grew flesh again in just one day. The wounds from the previous cut off of rotten flesh were still there, stitched with fine thread, and now swollen and purple, like several poisonous centipedes crawling on his skin.

Pei Du took a new bandage, wrapped it with medicine and tied it around his knees. Sheng Shixian leaned against the sofa motionless. The light in his pupils faded, vaguely outlining Pei Du's figure.

Perhaps it was because the smell of the medicine was too similar, Sheng Shixian's nose was suffused with that long-lost similar scent again.

The medicine was intertwined and stirred, and water was dripping from the bottle. Sheng Shiyan's eyelids drooped as if they were filled with lead, as if he was lying in that blank area again.

"Sheng Shi is jealous..."

"Mr. Sheng, long time no see."

"Mr. Sheng, what do you mean? Are you doing this on purpose?"

"Sheng Shixian, you know I'm not in good health. I'm leaving now."

"I send you flowers. I wish you a speedy recovery."

Sheng Shixian frowned, and the blurred lines gradually became clear, outlining a delicate face. Pei Du's facial features came into view, his skin was white and clean, and his dark and cold eyes were focused on looking up, exposing his entire face to Sheng Shixian's eyes.

It looks like a little paper figure of unknown origin, and even with the facial expressions drawn on it, it still feels fake and unrealistic.

"Go to the bathroom." Sheng Shi jealously grabbed the corner of Pei Du's clothes. He used a lot of force and stopped Pei Du from getting up.

Pei Du steadied himself. Hearing this, he said calmly, "You were there ten minutes ago."

Sheng Shi was jealous and didn't let go. He repeated, "Swell."

Pei Du: “…”

At its peak, Envy's Yang Qi value is 100,000,000.

Pei Du didn't see what benefits these yang energy values ​​had, but Sheng Shixian asked to go to the toilet very frequently.

Pei Du put the medical kit aside and let Sheng Shixian hold his arm as before and walked forward. Sheng Shixian's right leg was bent and half limping, he clenched his hand, put his arm around Pei Du's waist, and then pulled his clothes tight.

Pei Du stopped and tilted his head. Sheng Shixian tactfully lowered his head, with his lips away from Pei Du's neck, also preventing Pei Du from seeing his facial expression.

Pei Du stopped for a few seconds, and finally maintained the original speed and moved forward.

Sheng Shixian stayed in the bathroom for a short time, and Pei Du had no interest in staring at him, so he just stood behind and waited. But just as he closed the bathroom door, Sheng Shixian pressed the flush button, washed his hands, and walked out.

Pei Du was silent for a few seconds: "You are so fast"

Sheng Shixian didn't respond. He wiped his hands and threw the paper into the trash can, then put his arms around Pei Du's waist again.

Pei Du felt a little uncomfortable. After Sheng Shi came out with envy, he still kept his head down as before, just looking around aimlessly with his eyes squinting, as if he was looking for something.

Pei Du did not delve into it too much. Sheng Shixian changed his mind after a few minutes. As long as he didn't want to bite Pei Du to death, Pei Du could be more generous to him in many ways.

After returning to the sofa, Pei Du fixed the handcuffs of Sheng Shixian on the corner of the table again, and then brought the quilt to Sheng Shixian's side.

Sheng Shixian sat in the corner of the sofa without saying a word. Pei Du put his things down and prepared to leave.

In addition to the laboratory's documents, Pei Du was also thinking about his own guide to survival. He didn't have much time to waste with Sheng Shixian at night.

"Go to the bathroom." Pei Du had just stood up when Sheng Shixian started talking again in the corner.

Pei Du: “…”

He ignored Sheng Shixian and said, "Hold it in."

Sheng Shixian didn't say anything else.

Pei Du turned off the light in the entrance hall. He walked in and saw the quilt on the sofa was kicked off and scattered, half of it hanging on the ceiling and half of it falling on the ground.

Sheng Shixian rolled off the sofa to the ground without knowing when. He curled up on the quilt, his lips were pale, and his body kept twitching and shaking as if he had a convulsion.

"What's wrong?" Pei Du was startled. He walked over quickly and skillfully found Qi Sheng's phone number in the mobile phone directory.

Sheng Shixian grabbed Pei Du's trouser legs and said incoherently: "...Go to the bathroom."

Pei Du: “…”
