“Ok, let’s eat.” Han Tianlin interrupted and said. He pulled Yubai up to stand. “Let’s go wash our hands.”


After they left the hearing range of the rest of the family, he said, “Dad has always been like this, don’t take it to heart. Come on.”


“I don’t care,” Li Dong shrugged and said. That isn’t his real father anyway.


He is clear what he should do in this life and refuses guidance from others. What’s more, he still didn’t really take the world and the characters in the book seriously anyway.


"What's going on between you and Xichen? Are you unhappy that he's back from divorce?" Han Tianlin asked while the brothers were standing by the sink.


"None of this is your business. Don’t get involved." Li Dong looked at Han Tianlin in the mirror and said, "I did like him before, but my feelings have changed. Feelings are not permanent and immovable after all."


"You mean, you don't like Xichen now? So why were you happily accepting Xingling as a substitute a month ago? Don't tell me that you fell in love with that slut, and now you no longer want Xichen anymore?”


“Please don’t call him a slut.” Li Dong said with a smile. “He’s quite naughty and flirty, but you’ve tortured him for so long. Even if he recovers from what you’ve done mentally, he still won’t dare to find you again.”


Han Tianlin immediately remembered the phone call with Xi Xingling. Xingling said that he would slowly but surely forget about himself. 


But he still was against Xingling. “You are just having fun, but I can tell you don’t truly like him. I also don’t agree with you being together with someone like that long term.”


"What's wrong with him?" Li Dong said, “Let’s not discuss these pointless things anymore. Either way, you only need to understand that I don’t feel any sort of way toward Xichen. I’m not in any way tied to him, and won’t get married to him just because he wants to marry me now, nor will I break up with someone else just because he wants me to break up with them. I waited for him for this long, and now, I’m no longer so affectionate towards him.”


“Are you blaming him for mistreating you?” Han Tianlin nodded in understanding. As a representative of male chauvinism, he understood his brother’s thoughts very well: “Okay, I’ll convey that to Xichen, so he won’t be so caught up over you.”


Li Dong thought to himself that this was a ridiculous way to put it. Shouldn’t it be himself who was more troubled?


After dinner, Li Dong said that he was very tired from traveling today, and he wanted to go back to his room to rest.


But Gu Xichen came upstairs behind Li Dong and blocked him from his bedroom with his body.


This was the first time in Li Dong’s life that he’s been cut off. He was left dumbfounded for a moment.


Then he came to his senses. “What do you want to do?” Li Dong asked, raising his eyebrows and looking at Gu Xichen.


“Yu Bai, have we really become so estranged?” Gu Xichen stared at Li Dong, the distance between his nose and Li Dong being less than one centimeter. “I hope you will stop avoiding me in the future. If you have anything you hold against me, please tell me.” Afterall, they used to talk about everything, all the troubles and successes and everything in between. Yu Bai used to let Xichen know it all.


“Anything?” Wait… Li Dong made a funny expression. His first question to the handsome man in front of him was this: “Are you a gong or a shou?”



Although Gu Xichen looked similar to Xi Xingling and his figure was quite petite as well, he didn’t look out of place at all right now, blocking Li Dong’s way to his own door.


Li Dong’s straightforward question stopped Xichen in his tracks. His mouth dropped open slightly, and he seemed to be left speechless temporarily.


In fact, Gu Xichen had actually not thought about these specifics at all. “Those details aren’t important.”


“No, no, these are incredibly important. Very important.”  Li Dong leaned comfortably against the door: “I am the kind of person that, even if I die, I can’t be a shou.” He smiled nonchalantly: “To be very clear, you want to follow me? Then you have to accept being fucked by me.”


Gu Xichen choked on his spit, maybe out of shock, maybe because he really couldn’t accept it.


According to Li Dong’s observation, it was probably more of the latter, so he firmly emphasized this point, saying even more seriously: “And I’m a very controlling person. I don’t accept any resistance from my partner. Do you understand? If I tell him to kneel, he has to kneel, and if I order him to lie down, he has to lie down. You won’t be able to meet those standards.”


“Is this how he pleases you?” Xichen asked? He silently leaned away from Li Dong, looking at him with a new, unfamiliar perspective.


“Absolutely. He obeys my every bidding and is very well-behaved.” Li Dong shrugged, saying: “If you don’t believe me, I’ll let you see some other day.”


“How about tomorrow?” Gu Xichen said. He was standing in front of Li Dong in formal attire, as if he were a competitor who refused to admit defeat, but also wanted to remain somewhat restrained.


What a pity, such a good-looking, handsome guy is destined to become a cannon fodder here, Li Dong thought to himself.


“Okay,” Li Dong agreed directly, and took out his phone to call Xi Xingling.


Li Dong deliberately turned the call to speaker so that Xichen could hear how Xingling treated him.


It has to be said that Xi Xingling indeed has the ability to “open his mouth and kneel.” When he received Li Dong’s call at this moment, his mood skyrocketed, as if he had been tied to a lit rocket.


“Second Young Master! Mua~ Oh god, you actually called me? I miss you so much!” Xi Xingling made a fuss for a while about Li Dong calling him, and then he calmed down and said, “What did you call about? Do you have any orders?”


Li Dong was a bit embarrassed to have someone witness this call, but when he saw Xichen’s expression stiffen, he actually felt somewhat relieved. Because finally, he wasn’t the only one who had to have his ears irritated by this. It was a fascinating pleasure to share this sort of Xingling.


“Second Young Master?” Xi Xingling couldn’t wait for Li Dong to answer. He suddenly felt flustered. Could it be that Li Dong only called him on accident? That would be so sad.


“Make time tomorrow,” Li Dong finally responded. He then turned the call off speaker and held the phone up to his ear.


“Huh?” Xingling was stunned. Are they going out on a date? Really?


“There is someone who wants to meet you.” Li Dong said. He raised his head and stared at Xichen in front of him, smiling all the while. “It’s the person I liked before.”


“Ah…” There was a soft call from the other side of the phone.


“No need to hesitate, yes?” It’s just meeting someone, after all. “Be generous, don’t embarrass me.”


Xi Xingling’s mood, which had just been lifted to the skies, collapsed suddenly after hearing this. Not to mention anything else that was wrong here, as long as he thought about meeting the first love of Second Young Master, he immediately felt a lot of pressure and his inferiority complex suddenly exploded.


This was also because he heard Han Tianlin express that the person Second Young Master used to like is a very accomplished person, and that he can’t even compare to that person’s pinky.
