Chapter 9 Inquiry is fruitless

Pei Du looked at Sheng Shixian again after he finished wiping. He glanced at the condition of Sheng Shixian's lower body and did not make things difficult for him. He simply took out the key and unlocked the iron chain that fixed Sheng Shixian to the corner of the table.

Sheng Shixian's eyes flashed across the key in Pei Du's hand. After a "click" sound, the iron chain that was firmly fixed on Sheng Shixian's hand loosened.

Sheng Shixian withdrew his gaze, and as soon as the chain was untied, he wanted to stand up from the sofa.

Seeing that Sheng Shixian had an injured leg and was unable to stand steadily, Pei Du handed him a crutch.

Sheng Shixian didn't take it. He stretched out his arm towards Pei Du over his crutches, "Help me."

Pei Du simply ignored him: "Go by yourself."

Sheng Shixian didn't say anything. He kept his arm outstretched and looked at Pei Du with ambiguous eyes.

In the past, Sheng Shixian would also stare at Pei Du gloomily like this, as if Pei Du owed him tens of millions.

Pei Du saw the two fangs vaguely exposed in Sheng Shixian's mouth, with the tips protruding between his lips, revealing threat and coldness.

"Help me." He repeated.

Pei Du didn't argue with him. He held Sheng Shixian's arm and led him forward: "I will only accompany you to the door, go in and solve it yourself."

Sheng Shixian grabbed Pei Du's clothes with his hand, intentionally rubbing the non-existent smell on his hand onto him.

Sheng Shixian walked slowly, with most of his support concentrated on Pei Du's outstretched wrist. Pei Du's uninjured left hand was too white, and the skin on the back of his hand clearly exposed the veins and blood vessels.

Sheng Shi's teeth were itching with envy. He turned his gaze to look at the back of Pei Du's neck and blurted out a question: "Why?"

Pei Du turned his head and looked at him: "Do you want me to watch you?"

"No." Sheng Shixian answered quickly.

Pei Du turned his head again, and before he had taken a few steps, he heard Sheng Shi's envious voice again.

"Is it not possible?"

Pei Du: “…”

Pei Du grabbed the iron chain on his hand. Sheng Shixian was now able to untie his tie by himself. Pei Du seriously suspected that he would go into the bathroom and take the opportunity to get something to unlock the handcuffs.

After thinking for a while, he said, "It's up to you."

Sheng Shixian didn't say anything else. He followed Pei Du into the bathroom.

Pei Du stood by the wall: "You won't take off your pants even if you don't put them on."

Sheng Shixian paused with his fingertips, he tilted his head to look at Pei Du, and unzipped his trousers.

Pei Du raised his eyebrows. After being infected by the virus, humans will eventually become a species no different from beasts. Although Sheng Shixian's alienation is still continuing, at least now he still has human common sense.

After Sheng Shixian entered, he no longer paid any attention to Pei Du.

He was standing while running the pedicure, while Pei Du watched expressionlessly beside him. The only sounds in the bathroom were the sound of dripping and flowing water.

Sheng Shixian was dizzy and couldn't remember things clearly, but Pei Du's presence was too strong.

Sheng Shixian glanced at Pei Du secretly and found that Pei Du looked at him indifferently, as if he was doing something very ordinary.

Does he often look at others like this?

Sheng Shi had a bad feeling because he had been sold to many men with special fetishes by dealers on the black market. These men had abnormal pursuits and desires for male reproductive organs.

Sheng Shixian used his fierce character to scare them away, but he didn't expect Pei Du also had such a hidden habit.

After everything was over, Sheng Shixian zipped up his toilet again, pressed the flush button of the toilet, went to the sink, carefully dropped a few drops of hand sanitizer on his hands and rubbed them continuously.

Pei Du watched him from the side and found that Sheng Shixian was quite particular. How long to wash hands, how to wash, how to wipe with a paper towel after washing, Sheng Shixian had to follow all the steps.

After Sheng Shixian wiped his palms with a tissue, Pei Du reached out his hand again: "Sheng Shixian, you..."

Before Pei Du could finish his words, Sheng Shixian dodged his wrist and limped out of the bathroom, holding onto the wall.

Pei Du: ""

"You don't need my help anymore"

Sheng Shixian picked up the crutch leaning outside and used it to move forward: "No need."

Pei Du continued to ask: "Then why did you ask me to help you just now?"

"I think so." Sheng Shixian spoke slowly.

Pei Du was speechless: "I don't want to now"

Sheng Shi hummed enviously.

The male protagonist is so unfathomable and difficult to understand.

Pei Du lost the desire to talk to Sheng Shixian. After Sheng Shixian returned to the sofa, Pei Du re-secured the handcuffs on his wrists and ankles.

Sheng Shixian moved his fingertips when Pei Du bent down. He looked at the pocket where Pei Du kept his keys, and a hand reached out to him silently.

The sound of chains colliding could be heard in the air. Pei Du turned his head and asked, "What are you doing?"

Sheng Shixian's wrist changed direction midway. He folded his sleeves and sat on the sofa as if nothing had happened.

Pei Du narrowed his eyes and asked, "Sheng Shixian, did you meet other people when you were in the black market?"

Sheng Shi looked up at Pei Du with envy, "...people"

"Someone who wants to buy you." Pei Du thought for a moment and added, "Or someone you want to go with him."

"No." Sheng Shixian answered straightforwardly, thinking for less than three seconds.

After he finished speaking, his eyes rolled around secretly, and he turned to Pei Du and whispered softly, "You."

Pei Du: "You want to go with me"

"Yeah." Sheng Shixian seemed to want to show his friendly attitude to Pei Du, so he deliberately forced a smile... revealing a mouthful of unusually sharp white teeth.

Pei Du: “…”

"Really?" Pei Du was very skeptical. "So, your first impression of me is quite good."

Sheng Shi nodded enviously.

"You don't mind that I hit you before." Pei Du looked meaningfully at Sheng Shixian's cheek, which was still swollen.

"No." Sheng Shi envied his adaptability.

Pei Du: “…”

That's bullshit.

Pei Du remembered that Sheng Shi was jealous and petty. Whenever someone stepped on him, he would pretend that it was not a big deal, but secretly he would find opportunities to step back, as if he would suffer a great loss if he did not.

Pei Du now looked at Sheng Shixian again. He was sitting on the sofa with his eyebrows lowered, looking obedient silently. He was completely different from before.

Pei Du sneered: "But I mind if you bite me."

He walked forward and tightened the chains of the handcuffs on Sheng Shixian's wrists and ankles, which further reduced his range of movement and prevented him from reaching over the handcuffs to untie his tie.

Sheng Shixian's muscles were stiff. Even in an unfavorable environment, his own strength was not weak. Pei Du used his ingenuity to fix his wrists and ankles firmly again.

Sheng Shixian lowered his head and did not react. He and Pei Du were in a stalemate for a few seconds at first, and then he followed Pei Du's manipulation like a mechanical puppet, but his eyes wandered for a long time and then fixed on Pei Du's protruding Adam's apple.

This man took him home and treated his injuries, and had no intention of selling him off again.

...why

There was a hint of doubt in Sheng Shi's envious eyes, with a hint of coldness in them.

Pei Du ignored Sheng Shixian's gaze. He carefully picked up the tie next to him. Seeing this, Sheng Shixian immediately pursed his lips.

Pei Du was still thinking, the new tie was wrapped around his hands again and again, like a rope around his neck.

Sheng Shixian's fingertips slowly curled up. During the tens of seconds of silence, he suddenly said, "I'm sorry."

Pei Du was a little surprised. He smiled and said, "I'm sorry."

Sheng Shixian didn't say anything else, his eyes flashed across Pei Du's injured palm.

He had never been one to bow to others easily, and even now that he had lost his memory, his arrogance had not changed much.

Being able to apologize for biting someone was already a huge concession for Sheng Shixian.

"It doesn't matter." Pei Du said nonchalantly. He threw the tie into the basin and didn't tie it around Sheng Shixian's mouth again. "But don't make it an example next time."

Sheng Shi lowered his eyes enviously and said nothing. He picked at the sofa underneath with his sharp nails and his eyes flashed across Pei Du's neck again.
