Not sleeping at night leads to morning breakdown.

The next day, when Xun Yan woke up, he had a severe headache and swollen eyes. His complexion seemed like he was unsatisfied and longing for something...

At this moment, Shen Liqing was wearing the clothes he bought yesterday. The shirt he was wearing accentuated his figure, with a slightly slender waist compared to the average man. His legs, wrapped in long pants, were also well-proportioned. He stood before him like this, making it difficult for him to avert his gaze.

Xun Yan was taken aback for a few seconds, pursing his lips as if he were a famished canine, and then it dawned on him that he wanted nothing more than to slap himself. When had he become so desperate? He could understand if there was a seductive and provocative beauty standing in front of him, but instead it was an old man.

"Can you take me away from here? Anywhere would do, I've encountered some trouble," Shen Liqing hesitated for a moment before speaking, realizing that she could only seek help from this young man.

"Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person?" Xun Yan felt a bit irritable inside. He had never considered himself a good person, and he was neither altruistic nor eager to help others. It was completely unlike his usual style. However, he had already helped Shen Liqing several times, and last night he didn't even go to the nightclub in order to worry about this old man."

"If you were a bad person, I wouldn't be here now, maybe I would've already died in the mountains," Shen Liching truthfully said. He felt that Xun Yan wasn't inherently evil and should be willing to help him, as evidenced from yesterday onwards.

"You're lucky. I've been in a bad mood recently and was just thinking of going out for a walk." Frustrated with all the messy things arranged at home, Xun Yan decided to turn a blind eye to them.

When he saw Lin Qiongjin yesterday, Lin Qiongjin directly confronted him and told Xun Yan that she had a girlfriend. She proposed entering into a marriage of convenience with him, so that both of them could escape their family troubles and have the best of both worlds. She even mentioned that he appeared gay, which completely challenged Xun Yan's beliefs. He had never been attracted to men before, yet here was Lin Qiongjin, who was neither fully female nor male, calling him gay...

The world is vast, and all sorts of strange things exist. In this society, men with men, women with women, it seems inevitable that humanity will eventually perish. Xun Yan finds this absurd. He much prefers sexy vixens who are uninhibited in bed, wild and playful. They feel soft to the touch, unlike men who are stiff and uninteresting to fondle. However, yesterday in the bathroom... the old man's skin was unexpectedly delicate, and it felt quite nice.

Now, at most, it's just having someone extra on the road, which can help alleviate the boredom. In fact, Xun Yan was somewhat reluctant to part with Shen Liqing. They had only met yesterday, and he couldn't figure out what he really thought about her.

Xun Yan went to the bathroom and splashed cold water on his face to appear less sluggish. Every time Shen Liqing moved in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little itchy in his heart. It seemed that tonight he would have to find his group of friends and have a good release in the nightclub.

As for the peculiar affection towards Shen Liqing, he felt that it must be because he hadn't vented for too long. After all, he was full of youthful vigor, and occasionally resolving his physical desires was not his usual style of bottling it up.

Xun Yan asked Shen Liqing to stay here for another day, unable to leave today. Shen Liqing just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. He thought that Xun Yan regretted and wanted to abandon him.

Shen Liqing had always lived without a sense of security, except for the time he had with Shen Lu. But ever since the emergence of that writer, everything in his life changed.

He now resembles a drowning man, desperately grasping onto a piece of driftwood with his will to survive. And Xun Yan is that piece of driftwood. He cannot let go of this piece of driftwood, and can only float along with it.
