Chapter 40: The Incompetent and Malicious Ex-Boyfriend
Something was wrong.
Shen Ci hadn’t been drugged before, but he wasn’t an idiot.
This feeling was exactly like the descriptions of being drugged in movies, but not entirely the same. His head was also starting to feel a bit dizzy…
Shen Ci was certain he hadn’t just had too much to drink.
His damp fingertips gripped the edge of the sink, his knuckles turning white from the force.
The veins on the back of his hand bulged slightly as his breathing grew heavier.
He had drunk some alcohol tonight, but the only glass he hadn’t seen poured was the one Wang Yi toasted him with.
He had worked part-time at Hello several times now. Previously, he had only drunk with Jiang Ningyuan and his group; it was impossible for them to use such low-handed tactics.
He had never imagined someone would actually drug him. His expression turned incredibly grim.
The physical desire grew stronger, accompanied by a sense of vertigo that made it difficult to think clearly.
Shen Ci muttered a curse and splashed two more handfuls of water onto his face, trying to clear his head.
But it had little effect.
Shen Ci grabbed a paper towel and wiped his face haphazardly, preparing to head straight to the hospital.
Just as he turned around, he heard footsteps.
He snapped his head back, colliding with a pair of eyes filled with lust.
Wang Yi was standing behind him at some point, wearing a lewd, ambiguous smile.
“Mr. Wang, did you drug me?” Shen Ci asked directly, his expression full of wariness.
His voice was a bit raspy, which sounded incredibly pleasing to Wang Yi’s ears.
He stared at Shen Ci’s face, which was flushed with desire, and began to fantasize about whether the sounds he made in bed would be just as beautiful.
The smile on his lips deepened.
“Xiao Shen, I know you’re feeling very uncomfortable right now. I can help you…” Wang Yi’s voice carried a hint of seduction. “I’m very skilled, you don’t need to worry.”
Having said that, he took a step forward, reaching for Shen Ci’s hand.
Shen Ci dodged his touch with a look of pure disgust. “Mr. Wang, drugging someone is a crime. Do you realize that?”
Wang Yi raised an eyebrow, not appearing angry in the slightest. He continued to smile. “You’re just a host with no background. I can play with you whenever I want. Just name your price. As long as you’re obedient, I won’t let you lose out.”
Shen Ci leaned against the sink, gritting his teeth as he fought the surging impulses in his heart.
“I don’t want your money. Get the hell away from me.”
Shen Ci’s words caused Wang Yi’s face to darken. “Don’t refuse the face I’m giving you. You’re already working in a place like this; why bother pretending to be pure?”
He stood his ground, his gaze locked onto Shen Ci. “If you’re obedient, I’ll take you to the hotel upstairs. If you aren’t, I’ll just wait right here until you can’t hold out anymore… I have plenty of patience to waste with you.”
At Hello, as long as a host was willing and a “booking fee” was paid, they could be taken away early. After all, it was a gay bar; everyone understood the rules.
Wang Yi knew that the drug also contained some sedative components.
Shen Ci wouldn’t be able to hold out much longer.
Shen Ci bit down on the tip of his tongue. The sharp pain cleared his muddled brain for an instant.
Without a second thought, he threw a punch straight at Wang Yi’s face.
Wang Yi was caught off guard.
Shen Ci’s fist slammed into his cheekbone.
Fortunately for Wang Yi, Shen Ci was weakened by the drug and didn’t have much strength; the punch wasn’t very painful.
However, Wang Yi hadn’t expected Shen Ci to be so ungrateful. The smile in his eyes was instantly replaced by a savage malice.
“You damn well dare to hit me?”
Shen Ci braced himself against the sink, trying to bolt for the door, but his legs were weak. He stumbled after just one step.
Seeing this, Wang Yi grabbed him by the wrist and yanked him back.
Shen Ci’s back slammed against the tiled wall. He let out a sharp gasp of pain, but his fingers continued to struggle, his nails digging into the back of Wang Yi’s hand and leaving red welts.
“Let go of me!” Shen Ci’s voice carried an uncontrollable tremor, and the mist in his eyes grew thicker.
Wang Yi didn’t let go; instead, his desire only intensified.
He reached out and pinched Shen Ci’s chin, forcing him to look up. “Stop acting. In this state, you’re practically begging me to touch you, aren’t you? Want to try it right here in the restroom…?”
He let out a wicked laugh. “It’s not out of the question.”
Just as the words left his mouth, the restroom door was suddenly kicked open.
Wu Mu stood at the entrance, his face as dark as ink. His gaze swept over the two struggling men, and the cold aura around him seemed to turn into ice.
He didn’t say a word, just walked forward step by step. His leather shoes made a rhythmic sound on the floor, each step feeling like it was treading on someone’s heart.
Wang Yi was startled to see Wu Mu. He quickly released Shen Ci and put on a fawning smile.
“CEO Wu, what are you doing here? I…”
Before he could finish, Wu Mu kicked Wang Yi in the stomach. The force sent Wang Yi sprawling to the ground, where he curled into a ball, howling in agony.
Wu Mu didn’t spare him a second glance. He reached out and caught Shen Ci’s swaying body, his palm pressing against the younger man’s burning cheek.
“Are you okay?”
Wu Mu’s hand was slightly cold. Shen Ci couldn’t help but rub against his palm.
Wu Mu’s body stiffened, and his gaze darkened instantly.
“It’s… uncomfortable…”
Seeing Wu Mu, Shen Ci’s tensed nerves finally relaxed.
But immediately following that was the clamor of his body.
Wu Mu’s heart tightened. He picked Shen Ci up in a bridal carry. As he passed Wang Yi, he dropped a cold sentence.
“Think carefully about the consequences of touching my person.”
Having said that, he carried Shen Ci out of the restroom without looking back.
He didn’t have time to deal with Wang Yi right now, but it was only for now.
Wang Yi, lying on the floor, looked like ash.
Shen Ci was his person?
Thinking of Wu Mu’s methods, Wang Yi ignored the piercing pain in his body and scrambled up, desperately looking for someone to save him.
Wu Mu had his own private suite at Hello.
He occasionally rested there.
He didn’t send Shen Ci to the hospital. For this kind of drug, a hospital wouldn’t be much help. He had to—
The person in his arms was pressed tightly against him.
Scorching breath fanned across his chest, making all of Wu Mu’s muscles tense up.
His grip on Shen Ci tightened slightly, and his voice took on a husky quality.
“Don’t be in a rush…”
Shen Ci had already lost his reason. His hands began to wander aimlessly over Wu Mu’s body.
He wanted more.
Soon,
Wu Mu brought Shen Ci to the room.
He carried Shen Ci into the bathroom and turned on the shower. After placing Shen Ci’s phone on the sink, he didn’t even take off the boy’s clothes before putting him directly under the spray.
The sudden rush of cold water made Shen Ci shiver uncontrollably.
His muddled brain cleared slightly.
But it was useless.
It didn’t ease the desire racking his body.
“It’s… so uncomfortable…”
He began to murmur to himself, his hands reaching out—
Wu Mu knew he should leave.
But his feet felt as if they had grown roots.
His gaze was fixed on Shen Ci, watching him…
It was a look so blatant it seemed he wanted to swallow Shen Ci whole.
Shen Ci felt like his body was about to explode.
Desire was sweeping through him; he was about to become a slave to his own impulses.
In the end, it still wasn’t enough.
With eyes shimmering with tears, he looked piteously at Wu Mu.
“Help me…”
Wu Mu’s breath hitched.
His eyes were like a deep pool, threatening to drown Shen Ci within them.
“Shen Ci, how… exactly do you want me to help you?”
Translator’s Note: Wait, Wu Mu to the rescue! This is a classic “hero saves the beauty” trope, but with a spicy twist. “My person” (我的人) is a very possessive and loaded phrase in these types of novels. Also, the term “booking fee” (點台) refers to the fee paid by a customer at a bar or club to have a specific host accompany them. Buckle up, because things are about to get very complicated for our “straight” protagonist! Read on~
