Shen Liqing felt a vague pain behind him, a sensation he had never experienced before. Moreover, this pain was gradually intensifying. Unable to bear it any longer, Shen Liqing opened his eyes. His pupils suddenly constricted. What was happening? The young man who had brought him out of the mountains was lightly kissing his lower abdomen. This was the most absurd thing he had ever encountered.

He abruptly pushed the person off his body, hastily getting up and wrapping himself with a towel. There were a few ambiguous red marks on his neck, and he could also clearly feel something strange behind him. This left him feeling both surprised and disgusted.

As a man, nearly being mistaken for a woman by someone to satisfy their desires is nothing more absurd than this.

"You're awake? I waited for you outside for a long time and got worried that something might happen, so I came in to check on you," Xun Yan woke up and spoke hesitantly. He knew he was in the wrong. He couldn't believe he had feelings for this older man. It was undeniable that this older man was indeed captivating, but he couldn't understand what had just happened. Perhaps he was just too thirsty for physical intimacy. He should have gone to a nightclub with his group of buddies today to blow off some steam."

Shen Liqing did not respond, his eyes darkened slightly, pretending as if nothing had happened.

Now he has fallen from grace and has also received Xun Yan's favor. What else can he complain about? Even though he needs Xun Yan's help to escape from Shen Lu, he doesn't want any unnecessary involvement, especially since they are both men. Shen Liqing has never imagined that he would encounter such a situation. He is handsome and elegant, and he definitely has nothing to do with that kind of person.

He left the bathroom, not wanting to have much conversation with Xun Yan. At the moment, all he needed was a bathrobe to wear, and he had to find a clean set of clothes. The previous ones had already been thrown into the trash bin, so he could only rely on Xun Yan for help right now.

However, he was extremely exhausted and had no intention of speaking up.

Even if he were to speak, what could he say? He didn't want to see Xun Yan right now. Wrapping his body tightly with a towel, it was unbelievable that he had fallen to the point of constantly being on guard against another man. If he hadn't sobered up just now, it was hard to imagine what would have happened. A chill ran down Shen Liqing's spine.

Shen Liqing walked into the room, hearing the sound of the door closing from the living room, Xun Yan had already left. The hotel room looked very luxurious, but it was also quite spacious, lacking any liveliness. Ultimately, it was nothing more than an extravagant shell.

There have been too many things happening today, and Shen Liqing's thoughts have gradually become clear. He has to leave this city tomorrow morning, otherwise Shen Luchi will find him sooner or later. Over the years of being with Shen Luchi, he is well aware of Shen Luchi's abilities to handle matters.

Unable to use anything that requires real-name registration, without any cash on hand, and not even a clean set of clothes to cover his body, this made Shen Li bitterly smile. Once a person falls into destitution, it feels as if they have reached a dead end. It's likely that even beggars are better off than him in his current situation.

If that extremely absurd incident hadn't just happened, he might have been able to shamelessly seek help from Xun Yan.

The night grew increasingly dark, as the clamor of the city had just begun to resonate.

Xun Yan walked to the entrance of the night club, but in his mind, he kept replaying the scene from the bathroom just now. He also couldn't forget Shen Liqing's desolate gaze, as if there were words she wanted to say but couldn't bring herself to. Xun Yan couldn't help but wonder what kind of curse he had fallen under.

He called his friends again, saying that he can't make it due to some matters. He still couldn't rest assured about that old man. He muttered under his breath and then drove away in his sports car, leaving the bustling streets behind.
