Defeat the system! Kiss my little monster!

After wiping himself clean, Pei Du looked at Sheng Shixian again. He glanced at the condition of Sheng Shixian's lower body, but didn't make things difficult for him. He simply took out the key and unlocked the iron chain that was fixed to the corner of the table for Sheng Shixian.

Sheng Shixian's gaze flashed over the key in Pei Du's hand, and with a "click," the iron chain that was securely fastened to Sheng Shixian's hand loosened.

Sheng Shixian withdrew his gaze. The chains had just been untied, and he tried to stand up from the sofa.

Seeing that Sheng Shixian was unsteady on his feet due to a leg injury, Pei Du handed him a cane.

Sheng Shixian didn't take it. Instead, he reached across the cane and stretched out his arm to Pei Du, saying, "Help me."

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

Sheng Shixian remained silent, keeping his outstretched arm still, his eyes fixed on Pei Du with an unreadable expression.

In the past, Sheng Shixian would also stare at Pei Du with such a gloomy expression, as if Pei Du owed him billions.

Pei Du saw two sharp teeth that were faintly visible in Sheng Shixian's mouth, their tips protruding between his lips, exuding a sense of threat and coldness.

"Help me up," he repeated.

Pei Du didn't argue with him. He grabbed Sheng Shixian's outstretched arm and led him forward: "I'll only accompany you to the door. Go inside and take care of it yourself."

Sheng Shixian grabbed Pei Du's clothes and deliberately rubbed his non-existent scent onto him.

Sheng Shixian moved slowly, with most of his weight resting on Pei Du's outstretched wrist. Pei Du's uninjured left hand was unusually pale, and the veins and ridges on the back of his hand were clearly visible.

Sheng Shixian's teeth itched inexplicably again. He shifted his gaze to Pei Du's nape and blurted out, "Why?"

Pei Du turned and glanced at him: "Do you expect me to watch over you?"

"No," Sheng Shixian replied quickly.

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

"Is it not allowed?"

Pei Du: "..."

Pei Du grabbed the iron chain in his hand. Sheng Shixian could now loosen his tie by himself, and Pei Du seriously suspected that he would go into the bathroom to take something and unlock the handcuffs.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Whatever."

Sheng Shixian didn't say anything more and followed Pei Du into the restroom.

Pei Du stood by the wall: "Don't even bother taking your pants off."

Sheng Shixian paused, glanced at Pei Du, and unzipped his pants.

Pei Du raised an eyebrow. Humans infected by the virus would eventually become a species no different from wild beasts. Although Sheng Shixian's mutation was still ongoing, at least he still possessed common sense.

After Sheng Shixian went inside, he ignored Pei Du completely.

He stood there urinating, while Pei Du watched expressionlessly beside him. The only sounds in the bathroom were the dripping and flowing of water.

Sheng Shixian was in a daze and couldn't remember things, but Pei Du's presence was too strong.

Sheng Shixian glanced at Pei Du secretly and found that Pei Du's gaze was very indifferent, as if he were doing something extremely ordinary.

Does he often see others doing this?

Sheng Shixian immediately sensed something was wrong. He had been sold to many men with unusual fetishes on the black market, men who had a perverse pursuit and desire for male reproductive organs.

Sheng Shixian scared them off with his fierce personality, but he never expected that Pei Du would have such a hidden hobby.

After everything was over, Sheng Shixian zipped up his pants again, pressed the flush button on the toilet, and carefully dripped a few drops of hand soap onto his hands and rubbed them together.

Pei Du watched him from the side and found that Sheng Shixian was quite particular. Sheng Shixian followed the steps exactly, from how long to wash his hands to how to wash them and how to dry them with a tissue afterward.

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

Before Pei Du could finish speaking, Sheng Shixian dodged his wrist and limped out of the bathroom, leaning against the wall.

Pei Du: "?"

"You don't need my help anymore?"

Sheng Shixian picked up the cane leaning against the outside and used it to prop herself up: "No need."

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

"I think so," Sheng Shixian said slowly.

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

Sheng Shixian nodded.

The male protagonist is just that 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 shackles on his wrists and ankles.

As Pei Du bent over, Sheng Shixian's fingertips twitched. He looked at Pei Du's pocket where he kept his keys and silently reached out to him.

A faint clanging of chains echoed in the space. Pei Du turned his head: "What are you doing?"

Sheng Shixian's wrist changed direction midway, he folded his sleeve, and then sat on the sofa as if nothing had happened.

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

Sheng Shixian looked up at Pei Du, "...People?"

“Someone who wants to buy you,” Pei Du thought for a moment, then added, “or someone you want to go with.”

"No." Sheng Shixian answered decisively, taking less than three seconds to think before answering.

After he finished speaking, he glanced around secretly, then turned to Pei Du and whispered, "You."

Pei Du: "You want to come with me?"

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

Pei Du: "..."

"Really?" Pei Du was quite skeptical. "So, you had a pretty good first impression of me?"

Sheng Shixian nodded.

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

"No." Sheng Shixian was able to bend and stretch.

Pei Du: "..."

That's nonsense.

Pei Du remembered that Sheng Shixian was the most petty and narrow-minded. If someone stepped on his foot, he would pretend it didn't matter, but secretly he would find a chance to step on him back, as if he would suffer a huge loss if he didn't.

When Pei Du looked at Sheng Shixian now, he was sitting on the sofa with his eyes downcast, looking quiet and obedient, completely different from before.

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

He stepped forward and tightened the chains on Sheng Shixian's wrists and ankles, further restricting his movement and eliminating any possibility of him reaching over the handcuffs to untie the tie around his mouth.

Sheng Shixian's muscles were stiff. Even in an unfavorable environment, his strength was not weak. Pei Du used a clever trick to re-fix his wrists and ankles securely.

Sheng Shixian kept his head down and did not react. He was initially at a standoff with Pei Du for a few seconds, but then he was like a mechanical puppet, letting Pei Du manipulate him. However, after his eyes wandered for a long time, they finally settled on Pei Du's prominent Adam's apple.

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

……Why?

Sheng Shixian's eyes were filled with a coldness, but a hint of doubt was revealed beneath.

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

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

Sheng Shixian's fingertips slowly curled up. During the few dozen seconds of silence between them, he suddenly popped up and said, "I'm sorry."

Pei Du was somewhat surprised. He smiled and asked, "Apologize for what?"

Sheng Shixian didn't speak again, his eyes flashing over Pei Du's injured hand.

He never easily bowed his head to others, and even now that he has lost his memory, his inherent arrogance hasn't changed much.

Apologizing for biting someone is already a huge concession from Sheng Shixian.

"It's alright," Pei Du said casually. He tossed the tie into the basin and didn't tie it around Sheng Shixian's mouth again. "But don't do it again."

Sheng Shixian lowered his eyes and remained silent. He scratched at the sofa with his sharp nails, his gaze flashing over Pei Du's neck once more.
