Can You Believe It? I Ran into My Ex on a Dating Variety Show - Chapter 27

He strode forward and hugged Shi Yu from behind. They were pressed so closely together that Shi Yu felt a familiar touch. He instantly sensed danger. He hurriedly zipped up his pants and turned around, even softening his tone as he spoke. “Xingzhi, shall we go to the bed, okay?”

He Xingzhi let out a drunken hiccup. He wrapped his arms around Shi Yu’s waist and began to gnaw at his shoulder from behind. “A-Yu, I miss you so much. Do not reject me, okay?”

Taking advantage of his drunkenness, He Xingzhi pinched Shi Yu’s waist and murmured, “You are even thinner than before, but you are still just as fair.” He pressed a kiss against Shi Yu’s waist. This was Shi Yu’s sensitive spot, and his body could not help but tremble slightly.

Sensing his reaction, He Xingzhi looked up and smiled at him. “A-Yu, I will make you happy.”

Shi Yu’s waist went weak, and he grabbed He Xingzhi’s hair. He tilted his head back while facing the mirror. The visual impact left him dazed for a long time. Eventually, Shi Yu tried to push He Xingzhi away, but he failed.

He Xingzhi knelt on the ground, looking up at him. “A-Yu!”

Shi Yu’s head felt like it was exploding; he was lightheaded. Although this was not the first time such a thing had happened, he had not even wanted to touch himself during the three years they were apart. Meanwhile, He Xingzhi was familiar with every single sensitive spot on his body.

Shi Yu’s waist remained weak for a long time as He Xingzhi continued to kiss him.

“He Xingzhi, you are drunk. Let us go to the bed.”

He Xingzhi was deaf to his words. He acted like a hungry beast, leaving many teeth marks on Shi Yu’s body. If Shi Yu had known He Xingzhi would come home drunk so late, he would not have stepped inside to take a shower. Now, how was he supposed to refuse a drunk man who happened to possess immense strength?

Shi Yu had experienced He Xingzhi’s arm strength three years ago. He could easily carry Shi Yu and unlock various positions without any effort.

“He Xingzhi, please let me go,” Shi Yu said, deliberately putting on a cold and hard expression.

In the next moment, He Xingzhi began to shed tears. He looked at Shi Yu with a wronged expression and said, “A-Yu, why? Why is it that even in a dream, you are unwilling to be with me?”

Shi Yu’s head throbbed. He Xingzhi always experienced blackouts after getting drunk.

“I am sorry. I was too harsh just now. I am not rejecting you. I just do not want to do it here. It is too dirty. Look, my clothes are wet. Shall we continue on the bed?”

Since the firm approach did not work, he could only try a gentler one. He used soft words to coax him, finally managing to lead He Xingzhi out of the bathroom. Once they were on the bed, Shi Yu spent some time tying He Xingzhi up with the bedsheets.

After working up a sweat, Shi Yu hurried back to the bedroom and took another quick shower. As he looked at the bite marks on his body in the mirror, his head ached even more. When He Xingzhi got drunk, he particularly liked to bite people. He did not bite others; he only bit Shi Yu.

Shi Yu cleaned up the mess in the bathroom and restored it to its original state before walking out. When he emerged, He Xingzhi was still in the same position, showing no signs of having struggled. Shi Yu felt uneasy, so he went over to check and found that He Xingzhi had fallen asleep. His brow was furrowed, and tears still hung from the corners of his eyes.

The first time Shi Yu had seen He Xingzhi cry was during their first time together. He was crying while putting in effort. Back then, it made Shi Yu feel too embarrassed to tell him to stop. Thinking about it now, the man might have done it on purpose. He knew how to use tears to manipulate Shi Yu’s preferences at certain moments.

Shi Yu untied He Xingzhi and changed him out of his damp clothes. He brought over some warm water and wiped down his body. While cleaning him, Shi Yu originally intended to just do a quick wipe of his torso and limbs. However, his cleanliness obsession and severe OCD, combined with what He Xingzhi had done in the bathroom earlier, got the better of him. Although he had already turned away with the water, he steeled himself, returned, and gave him a full cleaning and a complete change of clothes.

Shi Yu went back to his room and collapsed onto the bed, exhausted.

“When the censorship appeared earlier, I thought tonight was going to be another night dominated by it. I did not expect you to be so patient,” the system’s teasing voice rang out.

“I almost lost my restraint,” Shi Yu said, closing his eyes tiredly. His body was more honest than he was.

“Shi Yu, can you really pull yourself away in half a year?”

“What else can I do? It is not like you do not know I have a reason I must leave,” Shi Yu’s voice was full of fatigue. He Xingzhi craved him, and he felt the same. But what could he do?

He was not originally from this world. He was just a task taker who had entered because of a mission. After the mission was successful, he should have been able to leave immediately, but a bug in the God System delayed his departure by several years. Now, only half a year remained. No matter what, he had to leave in six months.

His grandmother was still waiting for him. He could not abandon the grandmother who had painstakingly raised him for the sake of his own love. Before meeting his grandmother, he was just an abandoned infant. She had picked him up, raised him, and collected scraps to pay for his education. Yet, after he had finally achieved success, she fell ill with an incurable disease.

Shi Yu wanted to cure her. He had searched for every possible method, scientific and unscientific alike. However, he still received critical illness notices from the attending physician every few days. Just as he was losing all hope, he suddenly heard a mechanical voice. A system calling itself 3875 found him. It told him to enter a book and win over a character. Once the mission was complete, he could have a wish granted. He wanted to save his grandmother, so he agreed without a second thought.

However, he never expected that he would truly fall in love with the target. In the beginning, he had simply viewed these people as NPCs in a game.

The next day, Shi Yu woke up to his usual biological clock. The moment he woke up, he felt a headache. He did not take it seriously at first and went out for his activities as usual.

When he stepped out, He Xingzhi also happened to emerge, wearing sportswear and sneakers.

“Good morning. Are you going for a run?” Shi Yu took the initiative to greet him.

He Xingzhi experienced blackouts when drunk. When he woke up the next day, he would not remember what happened the night before. Shi Yu had cleaned up all the evidence before leaving, so He Xingzhi should not remember. Still, Shi Yu felt a bit guilty.

“Mmhmm,” He Xingzhi replied faintly. He did not invite Shi Yu to join him and simply turned to walk away.

Shi Yu watched his tall back as he moved further away, and his heart throbbed with pain. However, not a single trace of emotion could be seen on his face.

“Shi Yu, I monitored that your mood is not very good. You might need some dessert to cheer up.”

“How about a strawberry cake? It is the cake you have eaten most frequently over the past few years.”

Shi Yu swallowed a trace of bitterness. He did not actually like sweets. The one who liked strawberry cake was not him, but He Xingzhi. He only appeared to have a high consumption rate because he always ate it with He Xingzhi.
