At age 24, he had diarrhea.
Creak…
The iron gate was pushed open, and the world in front of him suddenly came alive with color.
Lin Gui staggered out blankly; these few days felt like years.
He wasn’t suffering from losing his freedom or being imprisoned, but rather from his imagination.
Every time he closed his eyes in the detention center, he would always think of Wen Han being humiliated.
He cried.
He cried for his own helplessness, and for his uncontrollable arousal.
Fortunately, everything vanished because of the figure in front of him.
“Wen Han!” Seeing the graceful figure waiting for him, Lin Gui finally laughed happily, “Are you waiting for me?”
“Idiot, who else could I be waiting for?” Wen Han smiled and walked up to him, “These past few days, you must have been very tired.”
“Not at all!” Lin Gui’s face turned serious, “It’s you who has been suffering! You must have been worried sick about me, right?”
“…Yeah!” Buddy, you’re overthinking this.
“That’s enough,” Lin Gui was content, “Let’s find Lin Wuju, I can’t wait any longer!”
“Alright.”
The two looked at each other and abruptly turned to leave.
But just as Wen Han turned, she stopped and raised an eyebrow, looking ahead.
“Mr. Su?” Lin Gui also noticed, “Why are you here too?”
“Lin Gui, don’t make deals with demons.” Su Zeheng glanced at Wen Han as he spoke, “Because if you make a deal with evil, you will end up penniless and die a terrible death.”
Wen Han sensed the heavy warning in his words.
But she already knew this; as a witch, it didn’t affect her.
“Mr. Su,” Lin Gui hesitated, “I know that guy isn’t good, but to save…”
“Lin Gui.” Wen Han quickly tensed.
He immediately understood; he couldn’t tell anyone about Wen Han’s situation: “Thank you for your concern, Mr. Su. Let’s go.”
“Hold on!” Seeing them pass by, Su Zeheng frowned, “Before liking anyone, you should first like yourself and cherish yourself. Don’t let yourself fall into depravity and become someone you despise.”
“…Thank you, I understand.” Lin Gui nodded, “Wen Han, let’s go.”
Wen Han grinned and, while leaving with Lin Gui, stuck out her tongue.
[Uncle] she mouthed, [You lost!]
“…”
Su Zeheng clenched his fists, watching helplessly as they left.
A moment later, he turned his gaze, “Perhaps it’s time to take the final step.”
…
“…Mr. Lin.”
Coming back to the 777 Coffee Shop felt like a century had passed.
Reluctantly, Lin Gui submitted, “If you release me and Wen Han, I’ll do anything.”
“…Anything?” Lin Wuju wore sunglasses and put down his newspaper, “How about sleeping with me?”
“Mr. Lin?!” Lin Gui’s face paled, “I-I-I… I have diarrhea!”
“Don’t worry, I’m just joking.” Lin Wuju couldn’t help laughing.
Beside him, Wen Han suppressed her laughter, her body trembling slightly.
“By the way, you’re a college student, right?”
Lin Gui was puzzled, “I’m 24, but I dropped out long ago.”
“Heard you want to attend Star River Art Academy?” Lin Wuju looked up.
“Huh?… Yes.”
“As long as you do what I ask, I can give Wen Han to you and fulfill your wish.”
“…Really?” Lin Gui’s heart raced, “Mr. Lin, you mean it?”
“As long as you complete the task.” Just as he said that, Lin Wuju suddenly threw a bag onto the table.
Lin Gui was stunned, “What is this?”
“In the Star River Art Academy, there’s a painting in the third drawer on the second floor. Steal it and burn it.”
“Burn the painting?” Lin Gui frowned, “Why…”
“Don’t ask so many questions!” Lin Wuju sneered, “And if you dare look inside, I’ll gouge out your eyes!”
“…” Lin Gui was confused but then recalled some big shots’ compromising portraits in the news, and instantly understood.
But this wasn’t simple.
“For Wen Han… I’ll do it!” He gritted his teeth, “Mr. Lin, I’ll do it tonight!”
Lin Wuju and Wen Han exchanged glances, lighting a cigar, “I’ll await good news. But if you fail…”
He clapped coldly, and several large men immediately stepped forward.
Lin Gui fearfully glanced around, only seeing Lin Wuju’s sinister face.
“If you fail, my brothers will politely… engage with Wen Han, including you… Got it?”
…
Night.
The sky was obscured by dark clouds, as if it were about to rain.
On top of the tallest building near the Star River Art Academy, two figures slowly emerged with a flash of light.
“Do you think he’ll do it?” The wind blew, making the clothes billow, and Lin Wuju stood with his hands behind his back.
Wen Han silently looked down at the figure sneaking towards the Star River Art Academy.
[What if someone else did this to someone you care about, or even to yourself?]
Su Zeheng’s words flashed through her mind.
She fell into deep thought, then heard Lin Wuju’s voice again.
“Huh?” She snapped back, “What did you say?”
Lin Wuju smiled without answering, looking at her with a sinister expression.
Wen Han frowned, “Xiao Lin, did a fly get in your eye?”
“The boss says so, it is so.” Lin Wuju smiled faintly, “Better focus on work. Let’s see if we can successfully capture this kid tonight.”
Wen Han smirked, her eyes flashing with a shadow before she looked down at Lin Gui below.
…
Tap tap tap tap…
“No one discovered, right?”
Even though he hadn’t done anything yet, he was already trembling all over, his face pale.
Lin Gui leaned against a tree outside the art academy, constantly flashing between fear and the gasoline and windproof matches in the bag.
“What should I do? I don’t know how… And if I’m caught, my life will be over!”
“No… Wen Han… I want to be with Wen Han!”
“Yes!”
Suddenly, his eyes flashed black, hesitating for a moment before dropping the bag. He stood up, holding a bottle of gasoline and a windproof match.
He hurriedly approached the tightly shut door, “Wen Han… I will definitely be with you!!”
“Go check over there.” At the same moment, the academy’s door opened, and security guards walked out with flashlights.
The flashlight shone ahead, revealing nothing.
“Check over there.” “Let’s go.”
The voices of the security guards gradually faded away.
With the flashlight gone, the scene returned to a brief darkness. Under the moonlight, only Lin Gui, panting heavily, leaning against the tree.
“I can’t… I can’t… I can’t!!!”
Hugging his head, he panicked and suddenly turned to run away.
…
“…This kid is really a coward.” Lin Wuju frowned, “I didn’t expect this.”
“Where is he going?”
Wen Han looked down from above, seeing the tiny figure below quickly hailed a taxi and drove away.
That wasn’t the direction of the 777 Coffee Shop.
