Si Sisi was taken back.

Bai Yin was on the balcony talking to someone on the phone, while in the living room, two dogs, one black and one white, were snuggling together, shamelessly rubbing against each other.

Si Sisi stared in disbelief, “Dabai?”

That’s not right, Dabai is at home. According to his agreement with Chen You, the other party will not come to pick up Da Bai until the morning.

The white dog rested its head on the black dog’s back, occasionally glancing at its bewildered owner and wagging its tail as a form of greeting.

Si Sisi stumbled backward, hitting his back against the door frame. Damn it, that guy surnamed Bai has the password to his front door! He angrily walked inside, crossed the living room, and stood in front of the man on the balcony, his face looking absolutely terrifying.

Bai Yin abruptly cut off the communication and turned to look at him.

Si Sisi grabbed the man’s collar and said in a cold voice, “Don’t you feel ashamed of yourself?”

Bai Yin remained calm and composed, asking, “What makes you say that?”

Si Sisi squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth, “You stole my house password and broke in while I was away. You’re no different from a thief. What is this if not shameless?”

“I think you’ve misunderstood.”

Bai Yin said, “For my own safety, I installed a security camera on the door, and it happened to capture the moment you entered the password, that’s how I found out.”

Si Sisi’s anger faltered. He had forgotten that this person had a special status, and when traveling to other planets, he would inevitably take extra precautions to ensure his safety. The surveillance equipment he used was certainly not the same as his own.

Fuck!

“As for your claim that I am a thief and broke in while you were away, I think you have misunderstood again. Even if you were home, I would still have gone in.”

Bai Yin smiled, very elegantly, “Because we are partners, I have the right to be involved in your private life.”

“Partners? You and me?” Si Sisi reacted as if he had heard the biggest joke, “When did this happen? How come I didn’t know?”

Bai Yin’s voice was devoid of emotion, as was his expression, “Just when you were trying to escape.”

Si Sisi took a breath, “I’ll say it again, I have absolutely no interest in you.”

“Alright, let’s stop discussing this pointless topic and wasting our time.”

Bai Yin pressed down, easily removing the hand that was grabbing his collar, “Don’t test my patience again. It won’t do you any good.”

Si Sisi thought this man surnamed Bai was a lunatic, utterly unreasonable.

He wiped his face, strode over to the man, and said bluntly, “Bai Yin, what will it take for you to let me free?”

Bai Yin’s eyebrows twitched. He glanced at the first person who dared to be disrespectful to him, hesitated for a moment between killing him or letting him live, and then chose the latter, “You are free.”

Si Sisi had no idea he had just narrowly escaped death, “Free? For god sake I was about to board the starship when your people forcibly grabbed my arm and brought me back. Is that called freedom?”

Bai Yin walked towards the kitchen, saying, “The premise of freedom is that you don’t play tricks on me.”

Si Sisi took a deep breath and walked around to the man again, “No, do you think a partner chosen from an unofficial place like a matchmaking website would be suitable?”

Perhaps only Si Sisi would label the only matchmaking place in the entire universe as unofficial.

“Whether it’s suitable or not, you’ll only know after trying it.”

Bai Yin said, “You’ve lived to this day with a completely empty love life, and coincidentally, so have I. My planet needs a Queen.”

Si Sisi had a splitting headache. His family shouldn’t have put his personal information on the matchmaking website, otherwise, he wouldn’t have gotten into such a huge mess that he couldn’t shake off.

What should I do? Make Bai Yin realize that I have a terrible character and a terrible lifestyle, and then make him leave on his own?

Si Sisi composed himself and said, “Alright, let’s give it a try.”

Bai Yin raised an eyebrow, as if unaware of his intentions, and said, “Okay.”

Si Sisi walked towards the door, “Dabai, let’s go home.”

There was no movement behind him.

Si Sisi turned around and saw his family’s white dog still lying next to the black dog, looking exactly like a pair of love-struck, silly dogs. His face immediately turned very unpleasant, and he muttered to himself, Heartless little things, before walking away.

After coming out, Si Sisi’s eyes twitched. Dabai and Bai Yin, they’re all Bais, after all. Could it be that the dog he had raised for almost ten years had become someone else’s?

He entered the apartment and checked every room, from the living room to the bedroom, then to the study, not even missing the kitchen and bathroom, for fear that the man surnamed Bai might have hidden some kind of surveillance device.

Kicking off his shoes, Si Sisi lay down on the bed. He decided to take a nap first and think about things after he woke up.

This time, Si Sisi again had a dream, just like last time. He was being sexually assaulted by Bai Yin, and in the dream he was swearing and urging the other person to hurry up.

Upon waking, Si Sisi stared at the ceiling, feeling completely exhausted and weak, with a sore back, aching muscles, and leg cramps. He had the strange feeling that he had actually been violated. The next moment, he jumped up and rushed to the bathroom, standing in front of the mirror and turning around to examine himself.

It’s okay, everything’s fine, it was just a dream.

Si Sisi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, nearly scared to death by his own thoughts.

At noon, Bai Yin invited Si Sisi over for lunch.

Just as Si Sisi was about to refuse, he realised it was an opportunity and agreed.

Bai Yin’s lunch is prepared by a dedicated team, and the ingredients are transported through a secure channel to ensure there is no risk whatsoever.

During the meal, Si Sisi sat with his legs crossed and kept shaking them. When he saw Bai Yin looking at him, he shrugged and said, “Sorry, I have a habit of shaking my legs while eating. You don’t mind, do you?”

Bai Yin said, “Do as you please.”

Si Sisi continued to shake, thinking, I’ll disgust you to death.

However, for the next two weeks, Si Sisi spent all his time outside of work dealing with Bai Yin. He tried every tactic he could think of, but Bai Yin maintained the same ‘whatever makes you happy, I don’t care’ attitude. He thought his attacks were fierce and swift, but to his surprise, every punch landed on a ball of cotton.

Si Sisi had no choice but to seek advice from his shameless and invincible superior.

At that banquet, Chen You gave his contact information to Si Sisi, effectively listing him as a friend.

Si Sisi looked at the young man on the screen and asked if there were any effective methods to make Bai Yin lose interest in him, or even better, to make him disgusted and avoid him.

Chen You was cutting lemons, took a piece and put it to his mouth to eat, his whole face scrunched up from the sourness, “You can pee on Bai Yin’s pants.”

Si Sisi rolled his eyes. “I’m afraid that won’t work. If I pee, my precious thing will be exposed. Wouldn’t that mean that guy surnamed Bai will see it?”

“……”

Chen You spat twice into the sink, put a slice of lemon into the water glass, and then gave Si Sisi a suggestion, “Go to Bai Yin’s house, fart in front of him, and you won’t have to take your pants off for this.”

Si Sisi sighed and rubbed his forehead, “Can you be serious? Stop messing with me.”

Chen You became serious, thought for a moment, and said, “Eat garlic before going to kiss Bai Yin.”

He washed his hands and said, “I used this trick on Li Yan before, and he ignored me for two days.”

Si Sisi’s eyes lit up when he heard Chen You’s words. No one understood better than him, the observer who had witnessed everything from beginning to end, the depth of Li Yan’s feelings for Chen You. To put it nicely, it was an obsession, to put it bluntly, it was mentally illness, and seriously so.

Since garlic is effective against Li Yan, it should be no problem to deal with Bai Yin as well.

Si Sisi was extremely efficient, he immediately accessed the central network, placed an order, and paid for a pound of garlic.

On the day the goods arrived, Si Sisi was crying as he stuffed garlic into his mouth. The smell was so strong that he couldn’t even open his eyes.

Standing outside Bai Yin’s front door, Si Sisi cupped his hands over his mouth and breathed into them. His face was pale, and he turned his head away, feeling a sour taste rising in his stomach and throat, even coming out through his nose. He couldn’t believe Bai Yin would be able to tolerate this.

As soon as Bai Yin opened the door, Si Sisi approached him without saying a word and kissed his lips.

The scene he had imagined did not occur. Instead of being pushed away by Bai Yin, Si Sisi was grabbed by the back of the head with one hand and held around the waist with the other, wreaking havoc.

Si Sisi’s tongue was about to be swallowed by the other party. Damn, this guy surnamed Bai has such heavy tastes.

So, garlic’s success was purely accidental?

Bai Yin seemed to notice Si Sisi’s distraction, his eyes darkened, and he increased the pressure between his lips and teeth.

Si Sisi leaned against the door and bit down on Bai Yin.

Bai Yin stepped back and wiped the blood from his lips with his thumb, “I don’t really like the taste of garlic. Next time you can try some ginger. I like that.”

Si Sisi’s breathing hitched, his expression changed repeatedly, and a dark cloud settled in his eyes. The man surnamed Bai had known all along what he was plotting, and hadn’t exposed him because he wanted to watch the show.

Bai Yin straightened Si Sisi’s collar and brushed away imaginary dust, “If you want to play, I’ll let you play to your heart’s content. How have you enjoyed these past two weeks? Have you been happy?”

Si Sisi had a bad feeling. He immediately pushed away Bai Yin’s hand and prepared to leave, but his shoulder was grabbed, and a voice chuckled in his ear, “It’s my turn to play.”

As the ruler of the planet, his abilities are far beyond those of ordinary people, even a soldier would be far less than one-tenth of his level.

Bai Yin tied Si Sisi to the bed with almost no effort at all.

Si Sisi’s situation was extremely dangerous. Dabai is completely infatuated with Alice and can no longer be relied upon. Self-rescue was impossible, as his hands and feet were restrained.

Most seriously, his communicator was forcibly shut down by Bai Yin, cutting him off from the outside world.

At this moment, Si Sisi was like a piece of meat on a chopping board. Whether he was sliced, minced, or cut into chunks depended entirely on Bai Yin, who was holding the knife.

Before long, Si Sisi heard footsteps. It was Bai Yin who had entered. He struggled to turn his neck, his eyes were covered, and his vision was completely dark, “Bai Yin, what do you want to do?”

There was no response.

The shirt was suddenly lifted up but Si Sisi’s pants were fine. Before he could react or even feel relieved, a sharp pain shot through his back, as if his skin had been ripped open by something sharp.

Si Sisi screamed in pain, “Ah—”

The muscles in his back bulged with pain, and fine beads of sweat seeped out and dripped down.

Next, Si Sisi recited every single curse word that came to mind.

Bai Yin remained unmoved.

Si Sisi clenched his teeth in pain, a metallic taste filling his mouth. He seemed to unconsciously mention Bai Yin’s face, though he wasn’t quite sure.

Just when Si Sisi thought it was just his imagination, the pain in the wound on his back suddenly intensified, and he almost fainted.

After an unknown amount of time, Bai Yin took off his gloves, packed up his tools, and returned. With his hands in his pockets, he looked down at his work, admiring it from above.

A very deep mark appeared on Si Sisi’s back, it was a pattern resembling ripples, with a star in the upper left corner.

That was a symbol unique to the ruler of Tianlan Star.

Bai Yin exclaimed, “So beautiful!”

Si Sisi’s face turned pale. He noticed the man’s breathing was off and roared, “What the hell do you want to do?”

Bai Yin said, “I want to peel off this piece of your skin.”

In an instant, all the hairs on Si Sisi’s body stood on end, and he struggled violently.

Bai Yin laughed, “I was just kidding, don’t be afraid.”

Si Sisi, “…”

The next day, Si Sisi fell ill, a heart ailment.

He wasn’t sure what Bai Yin had smeared on his back, and he couldn’t feel much of anything anymore, but to him, being marked was no different from being a pet.

No, it’s not even as good as a pet, Dabai wasn’t marked.

When Si Sisi saw Chen You being branded with the Hundred Family Surnames before, he only felt horrified and thought it must be incredibly painful. But when it happened to him, he realized that compared to the psychological trauma, the physical pain was nothing.

Bai Yin came in carrying a cup, saying, “Drink the water.”

Si Sisi’s voice was hoarse as he said, “Scram.”

Bai Yin pinched Si Sisi’s chin and poured the water from the cup into his mouth.

Water trickled down Si Sisi’s lips, wetting his clothes, and he coughed awkwardly.

Bai Yin patted Si Sisi on the back, grabbed his hair, and forced him to look up, “When you were playing games with me, I went along with it completely, letting you do whatever you wanted. Now that it’s my turn, you can’t handle it?”

Si Sisi looked at him coldly, “Is this the same thing?”

Bai Yin curled the corners of his lips, “Indeed not.”

“You’re just playing around, but I’m serious. I’m doing the first thing with you as my partner.”

Si Sisi simply kept silent.

Bai Yin touched Si Sisi’s face and kissed him on the lips, “I’m starting to like you a little.”

These words, when heard by Sisi, were automatically translated as, I want to eat you up.

He raised one leg and kicked Bai Yin.

Bai Yin reached out and pressed down, then moved his hand upwards, gripping Si Sisi’s body tightly, “I’m very interested in your body. If you don’t want to end up half-dead, you’d better behave yourself.”

Si Sisi thought to himself, isn’t that the case right now?

He lay listlessly all day, only opening his eyes when he heard a dog barking. Seeing that it was his own big white dog that had come in, he sighed, thinking, lamenting that his son was unfilial.

“Dabai ah Dabai, I’ve wasted all my affection on you.”

The big white dog looked up and howled in front of the bed.

Si Sisi’s face twitched a few times, “Stop wailing. Wait until I die before you start crying.”

The big white dog is still howling.

Si Sisi had a headache. Had he become so miserable that even a dog would feel sorry for him?

That evening, the door to the room opened, and Bai Yin walked in. After staying in the bathroom for a while, he walked to the bedside wearing a black bathrobe, lifted the covers, and got into bed.

Si Sisi’s hands and feet were still bound, and his whole body was stiff and motionless.

Fortunately, Bai Yin fell asleep quickly and didn’t do anything to him.

Si Sisi didn’t dare to sleep, fearing he would have those shameful dreams again, but he couldn’t stay awake for long and eventually fell asleep.

He still had the dream, and this time it was even more intense than the previous two, the whole dream was filled with shaking.

Si Sisi woke up in pain and found that Bai Yin had somehow changed from sleeping upright to sleeping sideways, with his two long legs draped over him.

“……”

Si Sisi loudly woke everyone up.

Bai Yin calmly switched back to sleeping upright, as if it were something he was used to.

Si Sisi couldn’t sleep and blurted out, “What kind of weird problem is this?”

Unexpectedly, he received the response from the person involved, “Got used to it.”

After a brief silence, Si Sisi spoke again, “Bai Yin, loosen my hands and feet.”

The restraining device was equipped with a set of program code that could only be unlocked by the person who set them up.

Bai Yin stood up.

Two or three minutes later, the restraints on Si Sisi’s hands and feet were removed. He stretched his muscles and knew that he couldn’t beat Bai Yin, so he didn’t bother to fight back. This way, he could save his energy and wouldn’t be made a fool of again.

The night was calm and peaceful.

Si Sisi wanted to go back to his apartment, and Bai Yin didn’t stop him. It was just across the hall, not like crossing several planets.

This time, the big white dog obeyed and followed the resident’s steps obediently.

Si Sisi glanced at his family’s Dabai, and thought, it’s good that it can correct his mistakes.

In the morning, Father Si unexpectedly showed up at the door and immediately asked, “Son, Bai Yin said you weren’t feeling well. What’s wrong with you?”

Si Sisi was stunned for a few seconds, then casually said, “The weather is bad, so I’m in a bad mood.”

Father Si suspected he was hallucinating, he had specifically set aside a pile of official duties to come here, only for it to be this?

Si Sisi finished the biscuit in his hand, “Ba, if there’s nothing else, go back. I have to go to work later.”

Father Si pondered for a moment, “Did you have a fight with Bai Yin?”

Si Sisi, “…”

Seeing that his son remained silent, Father Si assumed he had guessed correctly. Speaking from his own experience, he said, “Your ma and I started our relationship through a matching website. When two people first meet, conflicts are inevitable, but after spending more time together, things become much smoother. That’s how you came into our world.”

Si Sisi lay slumped on the table, not wanting to reply to a single word.

Father Si said, “Your ma and I only have an 80% level of compatibility, yet we’ve still managed to stay together for a lifetime. You and Bai Yin will have even less of a problem.”

“Son, the unpleasantness you are experiencing now is only temporary. You must believe that you are destined to be together.”

Si Sisi turned his head and said, “Ba, I can tell. You came here on purpose to brainwash me.”

He stood up, “I really have to get back to work. We can talk about it later.”

After leaving the house, Father Si turned around and went to the other side, changing his demeanor, “Mr. Bai, if you feel my son is not suitable…”

Bai Yin interrupted, “Very suitable.”

Father Si pondered for a moment and then asked, “Then, you and my son?”

Bai Yin took a sip of tea, “He doesn’t really like me.”

After a moment of silence, Father Si asked, “What specific event are you referring to?”

Bai Yin said, “I probably hurt him.”

Father Si, “…”

Has he started thinking about things he shouldn’t be thinking about? Probably.

“So, what are Mr. Bai’s plans?”

Bai Yin said, “I will let Si Sisi know me.”

Father Si wanted to talk a little longer, but his thoughts were interrupted by communication, so he had to go back to attend to his official duties.

Half a day later, Si Sisi emerged from the virtual space to find another person in the living room. He stopped mid-yawn and asked, “What are you doing here?”

Bai Yin sat leisurely on the sofa, “Finished with work?”

Si Sisi’s light gray eyes were blazing with anger. He knew he couldn’t win, and he couldn’t escape either. His face was contorted with rage.

Bai Yin stood up, “You must have learned something about the Bai family from your superior, haven’t you?”

A string in Si Sisi’s mind tightened instantly, and his expression turned strange.

Could this person be up to something?

Bai Yin led Si Sisi to the opposite side, took a key and opened the door to the first room, “Come in, I’ll introduce you to my family.”
