After Falling for the Handsome CEO - Chapter 32
Chapter 32: Wash Your Whole Body Clean
The moment his gaze landed on the injuries, Shen Jin couldn’t stop himself from wondering: Now that he’s seen them, will he feel even a little bit of heartache for me?
Even just a tiny bit…
If so, the naive affection he held for this man—though now tattered and broken—might find a sliver of comfort. It wouldn’t feel quite so pathetic.
Thinking this made Shen Jin feel slightly ridiculous, yet he kept his eyes lowered and couldn’t help letting out a soft, fragile whimper: “It hurts…”
In the past, he always handled his injuries alone. To keep Shen Lian from worrying, he would hide in a corner to bandage himself. But that one time at the hospital, Yan Yu had taken him by the hand and led him to the infirmary to help him.
Shen Jin remembered that moment as something truly warm and happy, but beautiful times are always fleeting…
Yan Yu took a breath. His gaze was heavy, his face dark, and his voice sounded as if it were being squeezed through his teeth: “These wounds… where did they come from?”
Shen Jin pursed his lips. Even though he didn’t want to harbor any more hope, he still couldn’t stop himself from telling the truth: “…Tonight. I got them… tonight.”
“Tonight?” Yan Yu’s eyes darkened, flashing with a dangerous, cold glint. His look toward Shen Jin changed, as if he were re-evaluating him.
Yan Yu, of course, remembered that Shen Jin had been with Bai Yujin during the day. He remembered that Shen Jin hadn’t answered his calls in the evening and hadn’t returned home until midnight…
And now, his body was covered in these purple bruises and red welts.
Where these “injuries” came from seemed self-evident to him.
Yan Yu gripped Shen Jin’s arms, suddenly increasing his strength. A mocking smile played on his lips, while a growing sense of loathing filled his eyes. He let out a sharp, bitter exhale: “Shen Jin, oh Shen Jin… you really have exceeded my expectations.”
He had played with Shen Jin for so long initially because he thought this person was simple and clean.
But now? He was already filthy…
The disdain and disgust in the man’s eyes made Shen Jin’s body turn cold. He looked at him blankly, his pale lips trembling: “Wh… what?”
Since arriving at Shen Jin’s place, Yan Yu had roared so much that his voice was raspy. Even though he wanted to strangle the life out of the boy right now, his rage had reached a peak where he could no longer even shout. Instead, he let out a short laugh: “You’ve latched onto Bai Yujin’s leg and climbed into his bed. No wonder you were so desperate to clear things up with me.”
“Tell me, how much money did he give you?”
Shen Jin’s face turned deathly white: “I didn’t! That’s… I was hurt!”
“Do you take me for a fool?” Yan Yu sneered. He wrapped his hands tightly around Shen Jin’s neck, his face grim. “As long as there’s money, you’ll linger with anyone, won’t you?!”
The thought that the person beneath him had just been ravaged in someone else’s bed made Yan Yu feel like he was going insane. His eyes were shot through with blood vessels as he roared hysterically: “Shen Jin! How can you be so disgusting!!”
The person on the bed looked like a ghost, his eyes dim and lifeless. He stared blankly at the thundering man before him, his voice hoarse and breaking into a sob: “No… I didn’t… I really didn’t… I’m just hurt, it hurts so much and I’m so tired… I didn’t…”
Unfortunately, Yan Yu was past the point of listening to anything. Restraining the urge to choke him to death was already a monumental effort. He roughly dragged Shen Jin off the bed and hauled him straight into the bathroom.
Yan Yu turned on the shower. Ice-cold water poured directly over Shen Jin’s head, making him shudder violently. As Shen Jin’s face turned a ghostly white, the man continued to curse and swear:
“Filthy! You’re filthy! Get yourself washed clean! Wash every single inch of your body clean!”
