Chen You was taking a shower in the bathroom. He had many bruises on his body. It hurt when he washed it with warm water. He was scared. He almost became the legendary rag doll. No, he might not even be a doll, just a piece of rag.

Instead of using shower gel, Chen You used soap, which had a slightly better antiseptic effect. He rubbed soap on his arms, legs, chest, back, and everywhere he could. Chang Qin is a man with mysophobia and simply not a human being. If the other person felt he wasn’t doing a good job in cleaning, it is very likely that he’d personally rub a layer of skin off his body.

Chen You finished rubbing his neck and was about to rub his chest when he saw a cigarette burn, he cursed. There were too many people there, and two or three of them were smoking. He couldn’t remember which SOB had a psychotic episode and stuffed a cigarette into his clothes.

Thinking of that scene and his own predicament, Chen You felt a pang of pain all over his body. Ai, when he was a black bird, he was very well-behaved most of the time. He would not fly out of the garden but play in the villa. Even if he flew out, he would just silently look at the dying people and the dead people, sighing that everyone has their own destiny and he never caused trouble.

Let alone when he is a human, he barely left the house. He would just play games, watch movies, kiss, cook, mop the floor, sleep, and watch the sunset.

Really haven’t offended anyone.

Chen You felt depressed. He turned around and looked at his back in the large mirror outside the glass door. It was a sea of colors, like a palette. It was horrible.

This incident clearly illustrates how important it is to keep doors and windows closed and be vigilant when you are home alone.

Chen You scratched his head, ruffling it into a tangled mess. There was a pervert who liked to bury his face in his hair. Not only did he have a lot of stubble, but he also pushed his hair aside and nibbled at his scalp like an apple, constantly saying it smelled so good. He didn’t know how much of his saliva and teeth marks were on his scalp.

He didn’t even dare to think about what would happen if Chang Qin found out. He might even have those people’s scalps ripped off.

When it comes to who is the most perverted, if Chang Qin says he is second, no one dares to claim first.

Chen You stuck his head under the shower and turned up the water temperature to warm his hair and kill bacteria. He called out the system in his mind, “Old 4, why was it so easy for the villa to be besieged?”

System said, “You have amnesia? I told you, all data is paralyzed.”

Chen You didn’t want to be looked down upon. He tried to understand, but it was useless. He had no idea what it meant, “What does this have to do with my problem?”

System said, “Retarded, I don’t want to talk to you.”

Chen You angrily said, “Do you have any compassion at all? I was almost assaulted by a group of people. I was about to become a rag in a matter of minutes. And you didn’t even offer me a word of comfort or a hug. You even scolded me!”

System said, “That’s your man’s job. If I have to do it, why else would he be needed?”

Chen You, “…”

He curled his lips and muttered, “It’s different.”

“You are you, and my man is my man. You two can coexist. Why are you making things so embarrassing…”

System was silent for a moment and then said, “Moron, congratulations on escaping this disaster. Nothing will happen to you from now on. You can play games as much as you want without worrying about sudden death, because you are already dead. You can also play however you want. It’s easy to transform into a bird or a human. Just consume your man’s saliva.”

Chen You snorted, “Your way of comforting people is really unpleasant.”

He was suddenly startled, “Old 4, did you just say that if I consume my man’s saliva, I can become a human?”

System went invisible, sending out an automatic reply, “Pray.”

Chen You rolled his eyes, thinking, as long as you don’t secretly cause trouble with my man and fight to the death, I will still love you.

After rubbing for a while in the bathroom, Chen You was about to leave when the door opened and the man walked in, carrying with him the lingering smell of blood.

Chen You hadn’t even put on his clothes yet, and the injuries on his body were clearly visible to the man who entered.

The surroundings were still shrouded in mist, but in an instant, they turned into a world of ice and snow. A chilling chill spread from the man’s body, instantly filling the entire bathroom.

Chen You shivered. He hugged his arms and rubbed them, then quickly grabbed a large towel from the rack, wiped the water off, and wrapped himself up.

Chang Qin said nothing, but just pressed the corners of his lips together, “Put on your clothes and come out. I’ll blow-dry your hair.”

Chen You uttered an oh and followed his instructions.

His man was very calm now, didn’t get angry, didn’t ask any questions, and didn’t do any checks on him. This made him feel extremely uneasy. It was so abnormal.

The bedroom’s air conditioner was on, the temperature just right. The humidifier was emitting white mist. A string of water droplets shot up from the bottom of the computer screen. When Chen You walked over, he touched the mouse with his hand. The water droplets disappeared, and the game interface appeared. He was offline.

Chang Qin held the hair dryer in his hand and said, “Come here.”

Chen You walked over to the man, lowered his head, and let him blow dry his hair. The only sound was the whirring sound in his ears.

Neither of them spoke.

Chang Qin’s other hand weaved through Chen You’s hair, his fingertips rubbing against his warm scalp, repeatedly and gently.

Chen You felt sleepy. The psychological strain of the night had been immense. He yawned, and his eyelids began to slump together, like two young people, horny and thirsty, shamelessly looking for trouble.

Drowsily, Chen You opened his eyes and discovered the hair dryer was off. The man stared at him silently, his eyes downcast.

His Adam’s apple trembled slightly. Chen You had so much to say, but all he could say was, “I’m sleepy.”

The darkness in Chang Qin’s eyes faded, and he rubbed Chen You’s head, “Then go to bed.”

Chen You tugged at him, “What about you?”

Chang Qin said, “I still have some things to take care of.”

Chen You clung to him, refusing to let go, “Can’t you handle this tomorrow? Come sleep with me, okay?”

After a long silence, Chang Qin said, “Okay.”

He went to wash up, then lay down beside the young man and asked abruptly, “Are you scared?”

“I was scared at first.”

Chen You turned sideways and hugged the man in his arms and said, “But I knew you’re coming back, so I was not so scared anymore.”

This was true. Chen You subconsciously knew that his man is incredibly powerful, and those troublemakers would not get away with it.

Besides, there is a system.

Chang Qin sighed faintly and hugged him tighter, pressing him into his body with such force that he wanted to merge with him, “From now on, I’ll take you with me whenever I go out.”

Chen You twisted his fingers around the man’s robe straps, “You said that. I’ll remember it. Don’t go back on your word.”

He had originally wanted to suggest to the man that they hire some bodyguards, but then he remembered his own persona. He was too unstable, neither human nor bird, so he decided to give up.

Chang Qin turned off the light and said, “Go to sleep.”

Chen You found a comfortable position, one leg resting on the man’s lap, his arm across his body, and a large teddy bear leaning against his other side. He slept in the middle, feeling very safe.

Even before falling asleep, Chen You didn’t ask about the surveillance.

In the darkness, Chang Qin’s half-lidded eyelids suddenly fluttered open, his black pupils gradually dilating as dense numbers flashed by, forming into something, then disintegrating.

If someone were present at this moment, they would be scared to death.

Chen You had a dream. In it, he was being chased by several mad dogs, barking wildly at his heels. He ran desperately, but couldn’t shake them off.

After an unknown amount of running, Chen You ran out of stamina. He stumbled to the ground, and the mad dogs rushed over one after another.

“Ah—”

Chen You woke up screaming, and it was already dawn.

Shit, this really was a fucking nightmare! He gasped for air, his face filled with a look of satisfaction, concealing his fear and horror.

Puppies are such cute little animals, why do they become so scary in dreams?

A few minutes later, Chen You touched his face with shaking hands. It was wet with cold sweat from being frightened. His body was also wet. His throat was dry, his nose was stuffy, and his head hurt a little. It felt like he had a cold.

He’d sweated so much that the quilt was damp. When Chen You stretched out an arm, his eyes nearly popped out of his head.

When he was taking a shower last night, he remembered there were pinch marks on his arm. He swallowed and looked elsewhere, not knowing what to say.

Now he was certain that after he fell asleep, the man threw him into the strawberry field, and covered his whole body with strawberries.

It was understandable that the man would do this, but Chen You himself didn’t feel anything at all. He murmured, “I am dead or what?”

“Old 4 what happened last night?”

“I’ve told you so many times, everything below the eyes is shielded. Can you please remember this?”

“I’m sorry. I was wrong.”

Chen You felt quite aggrieved after being scolded. It was not his fault, okay? Normally, the shielding was from the neck down. This was the first time he had heard of shielding below the eyes, so he had never remembered it.

“How much longer do I have to stay in this world? I want to go home. Old 4, I’m going to tell you something from the bottom of my heart. I miss my ba, my three little treasures in the dorm, my little room of just over ten square meters covered in cartoon characters, and my old-fashioned desktop computer.”

System was silent.

Chen You muttered to himself, “I don’t even know how far along the mission is now. If I go home, will I ever see Chang Qin again? What if I really go insane and forget everything? I feel so miserable. Life without memories is incomplete.”

He said whatever came to his mind, without any logic, but it was all from his heart.

Sighing, Chen You felt lost, “I told you, but you don’t understand. You’re a system. All you need is a command and a flip of a switch to make it work. You’re different from human.”

System said, “Did I ever say I am not human?”

Chen You was confused, “No way, are you human? Damn it, you’re trying to scare me? Seriously, I can’t accept that.”

System said, “Moron.”

Chen You didn’t want to play with the system anymore. He called out to the bathroom, “Chang Qin?”

No response.

Chen You propped himself up against the sheets and sat up from under the covers. He grabbed his clothes and stuffed them under the covers, warming them up before putting them on. Has Chang Qin gone out? That couldn’t be possible. He’d just promised him last night that he wouldn’t leave him alone at home.

Quickly pulling the sweater around his neck, Chen You pulled it down, grabbed his coat, jumped out of bed, opened the bedroom door, and went out.

The living room was just as usual, the floor clean enough to serve as a mirror. There were no pools of brightly colored blood, no bodies lying in pools of blood, their lives unknown.

It seems like everything that happened last night was just a dream.

Chen You slapped his face. Just as he was about to call for help, he glanced at the balcony. The man was outside, snipping at the flowers and trees in the garden with a pair of large shears.

The weather was nice and sunny, which is rare in such a cold winter.

Chen You changed into his shoes and went out, passing through a field of camellias. He looked around, fearing there might be several bodies buried underground. It wasn’t that he was overthinking it, but he knew the man’s inherent darkness and cruelty. He wouldn’t even frown if he killed someone, even if it meant crushing an ant.

What’s more, those guys last night were looking for death.

Based on Chen You’s understanding of this man, he wouldn’t just give up after beating someone.

He breathed a sigh of relief and wandered around the garden. He came to the man’s side and saw his hand touching a branch of plum blossoms. His slender, powerful index and middle fingers rested casually on the branch, a delightful sight.

“That, you didn’t put them…” He didn’t say anything else, but the point was clear.

Chang Qin held the plum blossoms with one hand and used a pair of scissors to cut off the unnecessary branches and leaves with the other, “Killing is illegal, you said once, and I remember it.”

Chen You was stunned. Did he say that? When? His memory started playing tricks on him again, twisting and turning like a tangle, becoming increasingly confusing. That’s right, he remembered. It was in the grove at the horse ranch.

This man kicked someone into a bloody mess for trying to mess with him.

Chen You breathed a sigh of relief, and the next moment he heard the man say slowly, “Death is a relief, but a life worse than death is torture.”

“……”

Chen You’s eyelids twitched, unable to continue the conversation. He sneezed and, while rubbing his nose, noticed the man looking at him. He said, “My throat hurts.”

Chang Qin frowned, “Let me see.”

Chen You tilted his neck back, opening his mouth to show the man. He heard his voice in his ear, “Your throat is a little swollen. Don’t eat anything during the day. Drink warm water.”

“Got it.”

Chen You rubbed his hands in his pockets, but couldn’t help asking, “What are you going to do with those people?”

With a click, half of the branch brushed past the sharp blade of the scissors and fell without stopping.

Chang Qin slowly straightened up and saw the purple corners of Chen You’s mouth and the bruise on his left eye. He didn’t answer the question, but said, “Go brush your teeth and wash your face. There’s breakfast in the kitchen, including your favorite crab roe buns.”

Chen You pursed his lips, walked a few steps, and looked back. The man had gone to the side to prune again. He couldn’t bear to watch it anymore. Are the flowers and plants bothering you? They are growing so well, why the hell do you trim them bare?

Chang Qin raised his eyes, and Chen You quickly averted his gaze and trotted back to the living room.

Cheng Mingtian from xxx University sat in the back row of the classroom, his phone resting on his lap. His hands scrolled constantly, refreshing the forum posts and occasionally checking his secondary account.

It was strange. Among those people, two were mixed-race, one was a coach, and the other three were known for their quirks. They were all veterans of the forum and liked to share their fun stuff on the forum. Some were free downloads, while others were sold privately at varying prices. The young man was in very good condition and it was impossible not to do something fancy after messing around.

After browsing for a while, Cheng Mingtian felt inexplicably uneasy, but he didn’t know why.

Cheng Mingtian was startled by the elbow bump and cursed, “Damn it, what the hell are you doing?”

The deskmate next to him looked embarrassed and said, “The teacher asked you to answer the question.”

The classroom was filled with whispers. Cheng Mingtian stood up with a grimace on his face. He hadn’t listened to the lecture at all, his mind was completely focused on the forum.

The teacher at the podium said, “That one student, please leave.”

Cheng Mingtian chuckled and walked out of the classroom with his book in hand, under the gazes of the others.

He went to his dorm room and lay down, continuing to browse the forums. There were a few more posts. Some people hang signs around their necks, revealing their new ways of seeking friends for the benefit of the masses, while others propose exchanging sex partners, attaching their personal information and contact information, and wait to be contacted.

These are all common contents, and there will be quite a lot in a day.

Normally, Cheng Mingtian would enter in the forum to reply to the post, then pretend to comment and tease the original poster, but today he wasn’t in the mood.

He hadn’t stayed in a private villa before, so he had no idea what was the situation inside. When he entered last night, it went smoothly, as if someone had left a door open for him. There shouldn’t be any traces left, right?

While Cheng Mingtian was distracted, his phone rang. He saw the caller ID. He usually didn’t want to answer, but this time he needed someone to distract him so he didn’t have time to think about other things.

A moment later, in the xx Hotel.

As soon as Cheng Mingtian entered, he grabbed Zhang Zhi’s short hair and leaned in to kiss him.

Zhang Zhi wasn’t surprised by the boy’s unusual behavior. He simply chuckled briefly and pushed him against the wall.

Over an hour later, Cheng Mingtian sat limply on the floor, his legs shaking. During that time, his mind was blank, his soul trembling wildly. He had to admit that after having sex with many people, only this person could satisfy him.

Zhang Zhi leaned against the wall, smoking. He stretched out his long legs and kicked the boy on the ground, “Want a cigarette?”

Cheng Mingtian said hoarsely, “I want the one in your mouth.”

Zhang Zhi said no trouble, took the cigarette from his mouth, and handed it to the youngster.

Cheng Mingtian held the cigarette between his lips, his tongue sweeping across the pale yellow butt, stained with the man’s saliva. He smoked with his eyes downcast, his sweaty face revealing the youthfulness, childishness, boldness, and recklessness typical of his age.

Zhang Zhi lit another cigarette, “Is there something?”

Cheng Mingtian scratched his sweat-soaked hair and said, “What could possibly happen to me? Besides, even if I did, I wouldn’t be reduced to asking you for help. You’re just a small employee in the company, what can you do to help me?”

Zhang Zhi scoffed, “No ivory comes from the mouth of a dog. Little thing, you’re an adult now. Don’t keep doing wrong things, or you’ll regret it later.”

Cheng Mingtian taunted, “Even my parents can’t control me, so who are you?”

“Who am I?” Zhang Zhi flicked the ash onto the ground and smiled, “I’m the one who just made you kneel on the ground, crying and begging for mercy.”

Cheng Mingtian’s face flushed red and blue, “Bastard!”

Zhang Zhi, unperturbed by anger, squinted his eyes as he smoked. He’d stumbled upon a forum on a colleague’s computer. A quick glance had captured the teenager’s exuberant demeanor. From then on, he registered an account and began secretly following the other party.

One time, Zhang Zhi saw a teenager posting a message looking for a friend. The message said he had to submit a photo first, and only if he qualified would they chat privately. He submitted his photo as required, was selected, and successfully had sex with the teenager.

God knows, Zhang Zhi was completely lost in thought during those few days at work, his mind filled with the boy’s face, and he felt completely off.

But he soon realized that he was an idiot.

Have been acting like an idiot for so long.

In the past year or so, Zhang Zhi had seen the boy more than half the time, and had seen everything in the other party’s body.

Zhang Zhi knew it from the first time. He only had the boy, while the other party had multiple partners. It’s quite crazy.

Maybe his brain was kicked by a furnace, or maybe it was destined to be a disaster. Zhang Zhi tried many times, but he couldn’t change the person. It had to be this boy no matter what. He was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he still couldn’t control himself when he saw him.

Halfway through a cigarette, Zhang Zhi spoke up, “Cheng Mingtian, you can have fun when you’re young, but don’t overdo it.”

Cheng Mingtian laughed so hard he choked on his saliva, then fell on his knees and coughed, “What qualifications do you have to criticize me? Zhang Zhi, whenever you come close to me, you can’t wait to play with me.”

Zhang Zhi’s eyes were dark, “I’m not playing with you.”

Feeling uncomfortable being stared at, Cheng Mingtian sneered, “If this isn’t playing, what is it? Don’t tell me about love or feelings. Zhang Zhi, we’ve been friends with benefits from the beginning.”

Zhang Zhi exhaled the smoke, his tongue pressed against his teeth, his face filled with rage, as if ready to strike someone. He closed his eyes, put on his coat, and left without a word.

Hearing the door slam shut, Cheng Mingtian cursed and sat on the ground for a long time. He then slowly stood up, holding onto the wall, and continued to curse, cursing Zhang Zhi’s ancestors for more than ten times before he stopped.

Every time that person messed with him, he never showed mercy, just like an enemy.

Young people have good health. Cheng Mingtian was half-dead in the morning, but full of energy in the evening. He was going to a party organized by some people on the forum. He wasn’t going there for a blind date. There was no need to inquire about everyone’s identity, work, income, or home address. He just wanted to put aside all worries and enjoy himself.

Cheng Mingtian’s appearance was striking, and he immediately attracted the most attention. He cast a subtle, interested glance at a man, but didn’t do anything else. That’s all it needed.

Soon, the man broke away from a few of his men and walked up to Cheng Mingtian, “I’ll buy you a drink.”

Cheng Mingtian accepted it with a smile.

After a glass of wine, Cheng Mingtian started chatting with the man. Their topic was nothing but the people around them, who were having sex with whom, who was good at having fun, and who had done it to death.

In the second half, after the man left, many people came to talk to Cheng Mingtian. He knew his charm and knew how to use it. If he wanted to, he could easily become the focus of the crowd.

So far, Cheng Mingtian has only failed once, and that was with Chang Qin.

His mood suddenly dropped to the bottom. Thinking about what happened last night, he thought maliciously, those guys are all good at playing games. By the time Chang Qin returned, even if his lover was not dead, he would probably be crippled.

No one would accept someone who has been passed down by others.

When Cheng Mingtian thought of this, he became happy again. He leaned on the sofa and drank, turning his head to look at a good-looking foreign man.

What happened after that is a blur.

Cheng Mingtian wasn’t sure how many times he’d been rap*d. When he regained consciousness, he found himself being rap*d by a square-faced man. He quickly lost consciousness. When he regained consciousness, the man before him wasn’t a square-faced man, but an extremely ugly one.

Time and again, Cheng Mingtian found that the faces he saw were never the same. He wanted to struggle, to curse, but he couldn’t.

It’s not like he hadn’t done this before when he was having a blast, but the situation and feeling were completely different.

It was two days later when Cheng Mingtian regained consciousness. He lay in an unfamiliar room, surrounded by a foul odor and a mess of things scattered on the floor.

He couldn’t move his body and was in pain from head to toe. There was not a single intact part of Cheng Mingtian’s body. It wasn’t just the bruises from pinching or traces on chest, his scalp was also painful, as if it had been scratched by something.

Even if he didn’t touch it, just the dust on it would make his body twitch in pain.

Cheng Mingtian’s face turned pale. If he still didn’t know what was wrong with him, he must be an idiot.

“Fuck!”

His body was in so much pain that tears welled up in his eyes every time he breathed. Cheng Mingtian gritted his teeth and lay there for a long, long time. No one came over, and it seemed he had been left here unattended.

The sky gradually darkened, then suddenly became bright without anyone noticing him.

Cheng Mingtian continued to lie there. The wound had already scabbed over, but he moved only slightly, and it split open again. Red and white fluid flowed out, and the air was filled with the smell of blood. The smell in the room became even more unpleasant and disgusting.

At this moment, Cheng Mingtian was still complaining about his fate. He hadn’t considered it a bit. The phrase “reaping what you sow” has never been in his dictionary.

Cheng Mingtian walked out with all his might, and found that he didn’t know where he was. He was sweating profusely from the pain, and he didn’t have money on his body, and his cell phone was gone.

“Oh my God, you’re playing LaoZi!”

Cheng Mingtian cursed at the sky, “Don’t have eyes! Laozi has never done anything immoral, so why would you…”

The voice stopped abruptly.

Cheng Mingtian’s expression turned strange. He bit the last few words into pieces and swallowed them. He subconsciously kicked the trash can, which agitated his wound and caused him to feel almost dead in pain.

The sound of a car engine approached from a distance. Cheng Mingtian looked up and saw someone in the car.

Zhang Zhi was passing through on business when he encountered a traffic accident. He had no choice but to use the navigation system and take an alternative route. Not only was it bumpy, but it also took a long detour. Feeling that it was not a good day for him to go out today, and that is when he found the youngster on the side of the road.

The atmosphere in the car was bad.

Cheng Mingtian’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he gritted his teeth to prevent himself from making a painful sound.

Zhang Zhi rolled down the car window and spat outside. He glanced in the rearview mirror at the boy, whose face battered beyond recognition. He said, “Where has classmate Cheng been playing? Making himself look like a ghost, what a talent.”

Cheng Mingtian turned his head, facing Zhang Zhi with the back of his head. In the face of his sarcastic remarks, he remained silent, which was unusual.

There was a trace of blood on the back of the boy’s head, suggesting a laceration to his scalp. Zhang Zhi honked the horn, spewing profanities. The car finally stopped shaking and returned to the asphalt road.

Cheng Mingtian felt better. He took a breath and said, “I’m not going home, and I’m not going to school either.”

Zhang Zhi said, “Then get out of the car.”

Cheng Mingtian said, “I’ll stay at your place for a few days. You decide how much it will cost.”

Zhang Zhi slapped the steering wheel, parked the car on the side of the road, and tugged at the boy’s arm, “MF, why can’t you just go to school and study properly? Why do you have to go out and play?”

Cheng Mingtian’s eyelashes were wet, “It is okay or not, give me a definite answer.”

His face was pale and bloodless, like a piece of water-soaked paper, “If it doesn’t work, I’ll just sleep on the street and see what fate has in store for me.”

Zhang Zhi loosened his grip and didn’t say another word.

Before reaching the destination, Cheng Mingtian fainted. Nearly an hour later, he was placed on a 1.5-meter bed, covered with a gray quilt, and was on the verge of collapsing.

After closing the door and leaving, Zhang Zhi slapped himself in the face, “Bitch!”

That night, Cheng Mingtian had a fever, his body was burning hot, and the wounds were all stained. Zhang Zhi saw that the situation was serious, so he quickly dressed him and carried him to the hospital.

After the examination, the doctor’s eyes changed when he looked at Zhang Zhi, showing disgust, anger and contempt.

Despite this, the doctor still said everything he needed to say, including the severity of the patient’s injuries and the precautions that needed to be taken, especially emphasizing that nothing should be touched for the time being.

Zhang Zhi’s face was tense, and his fists were clenched so tightly that they made a crackling sound.

Cheng Mingtian woke up in the hospital. Zhang Zhi was sitting in front of the bed, staring at him with a pair of bloodshot eyes.

“Mingtian, if you keep playing like this, there will be no Mingtian.”

This was the first and only sentence Zhang Zhi said. Cheng Mingtian didn’t hear anything else from him after that.

Cheng Mingtian wasn’t a servile person, nor was he willing to curry favor with anyone. He allowed things to happen as he pleased. He recuperated at Zhang Zhi’s place, and when he could walk again and no one could see any signs of a problem, he left a note for Zhang Zhi, took the change from the drawer, and took a taxi home.

When Cheng Mingtian got home, he realized that the whole world had changed during his absence.

While the Cheng family wasn’t a wealthy family in City M, they owned two houses, had a seven-figure bank account, and even started a company. Now, not only had they declared bankruptcy, they were also burdened with enormous debts.

Cheng Mingtian was confused, “Ba, Ma, why don’t I understand what you’re saying?”

Father Cheng looked much older, “Whether you understand or not, it doesn’t make any difference. Mingtian you just need to know that our home is no longer the same as before. Just be sensible and don’t cause any more trouble.”

Cheng Mingtian looked at his father, whose face was ashen, his mother, whose eyes were red, and the house filled with heaviness and despair, “Home? Is this still home?”

He took a few steps back and slammed the door.

Mother Cheng didn’t even have time to shout, “Old Cheng, do you think Mingtian, he will…”

Father Cheng said, “Will what? He’s 21, and besides fooling around, he can’t do anything else. Look at him, when he encounters something, his first reaction is not to face it, but to escape.”

“I still don’t understand why the company has encountered such a huge setback. Every year on New Year’s Day, we go up the mountain to worship Buddha and burn incense. What kind of deity have we offended that is going to destroy our Cheng family…”

Originally, he would not have owed such a huge debt. It was as if someone grabbed his neck and forced him to jump into a pit. By the time he realized what was happening, the situation was already irreversible.

He is old and can only do so little. He will have to rely on his son from now on.

Cheng Mingtian walked on the street in a daze. He was unaware of the fact that he bumped into people and was bumped into by people.

The reason why he can play like this is because his family is rich. He unconsciously feels that even if he doesn’t go to work after graduation, he will not have to worry about food or clothes. If one day he doesn’t want to play anymore, he can go to work in his family’s company and change his life.

Now there is nothing left.

This might not be so difficult for others, but for Cheng Mingtian, he couldn’t spend money lavishly or go wherever he wanted. He had already fallen into a dark period before he even graduated.

The rest of his life will be burdened with a huge debt that he will never be able to pay off, which is more terrifying than death.

After wiping his face, Cheng Mingtian squatted on the street and cried loudly. He felt that life was worse than death, but he was cowardly and did not dare to die, so he could only be forced to accept God’s will. He would never have a relaxing day in this life. Everything was ruined and it was over.

Cheng Mingtian could never imagine that he had any other options besides selling.

Passersby will stop, sigh, and be curious, but no one will step forward and lend a hand.

Every day in this world is full of drama, some are blessed with luck, while others suffer misfortune.

There is only so much a person can see, do, and hear. He can only manage his own piece of land. What other people’s land looks like, whether it is a bumper harvest or barren, has nothing to do with them.

On an ordinary evening, Chen You accidentally transformed back into a big black bird.

What happened was like this, Chen You snuggled in Chang Qin’s arms, looked at each other, muah muah muah, looked at each other again, muah muah muah. The two of them just kissed, nothing else. After a while, Chen You’s mouth became dry, he reached for the fruit plate, put his feet on Chang Qin’s legs, and ate the grapes happily, who knew that he had just put the grapes in his mouth the previous second, and the next second, his hand disappeared, replaced by a bird’s claw.

It was really sudden.

Dead Bird Chen was stunned for a moment, then flew up and landed in front of Chang Qin, “da da da da da.”

Chang Qin was used to his sudden changes, so he wasn’t surprised, “Huh?”

I want to consume your saliva, Chen You shouted several times, but seeing that the man didn’t react and couldn’t receive any signal, he decided to take the initiative.

Chang Qin looked at the black bird’s beak, which was long, thin, and pointed. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, so he lowered his head and touched the bird’s beak.

Is that all? Where’s the saliva? Chen You felt like dying. Why is it so hard to get some saliva? Last time, he could turn into a human just by eating mutton that had been eaten by the man, but this time, it wouldn’t work.

It is not clear whether the amount is too small or it has to be done at a certain time.

During dinner, Chen You stood on the table and pecked at the food in Chang Qin’s bowl. He pecked at it many times, but to no avail.

Chang Qin assumed Chen You liked it, so he simply offered him some food, “This dish doesn’t have much salt in it. It shouldn’t make the feather fall out faster.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen You dropped a handful of bird feathers.

Chang Qin, “…”

After dinner, Chen You flew around the living room, leaving bird feathers everywhere. Chang Qin didn’t have to do anything. He just held a trash can in one hand and wore disposable gloves to pick up bird feathers from the sofa, coffee table, floor, table, and even the picture frames hanging on the wall.

“Stop flying, find a place to squat.”

“da da.”

Chen You said no. He flew out of the lobby and walked around the garden, hoping to hear some gossip from his compatriots. Unfortunately, he didn’t see any of them. They must have been feeling cold and looking for a place to spend the winter.

When Chen You returned from the garden, all the bird feathers on his body were wet.

It’s not raining outside, it’s snowing.

Chen You flew to Chang Qin, flapping his big wings, trying to wipe it.

Chang Qin rubbed his brow. He noticed that the black bird’s back was missing a few feathers. It was all bald. If this continued, it would soon become a bald bird.

The snow didn’t last long before it stopped, leaving the ground completely uncovered.

Apparently, it came here to say hello and then will unleash its ultimate move later.

The business of Chang Xiang Si Restaurant is still very good. Cheng Mingxing was in a daze in the office. On Monday, she went to the hospital to get the examination report. The result of the examination was undoubtedly a disaster for her. Her hands were shaking when she held the report and she almost dropped it.

The doctor recommended that Cheng Mingxing get another checkup at XX Hospital in City A. She plans to go this week, hoping the situation won’t be that serious.

A lot of things happened at home, and Cheng Mingxing was too busy to take care of herself.

The landline on the table rang, and Cheng Mingxing went to answer it. Soon, she appeared at Chang Qin’s place.

After hearing what the man said and looking at the paper on the table, Cheng Mingxing’s breathing quickened. She couldn’t accept being fired for no reason, “Boss, can I ask the reason?”

Chang Qin took a sip of tea and said, “Because your last name is Cheng.”

Cheng Mingxing was stunned. What reason is this? It isn’t like she has just changed her surname. She has always had the surname Cheng and there has been no problem for all these years. Why is it no longer allowed now?

At this moment, a big black bird flew in from the window, landed on the desk, and lay down on its side expertly, waiting to be fed.

Cheng Mingxing was stunned for a moment. She asked, “Boss, is this myna your pet?”
