GTAS Arc. 2 Ch. 1

“…Second Young Master Ji, he…he seems to have fainted from anger…” 

Gu Jinlin had just regained consciousness and hearing from the darkness. Pain—searing, gut-wrenching pain—not only physical but an even deeper agony that radiated from his heart, so intense that Gu Jinlin couldn’t help but wonder if someone had stabbed a knife directly into it, causing this unbearable torment. 

Just as his eyelashes trembled slightly, trying to open his eyes, he heard a low chuckle, followed by a bright, youthful voice. The voice was clear like a mountain spring, smooth and gentle, the kind of voice that would make one imagine a refined and courteous gentleman standing before them. 

However, the crude and obscene words that followed instantly tainted that beautiful voice, like a lotus flower stained with mud—no longer pure or sacred. 

“You little thing, I’m giving you the chance to please me now, and you still have the time to worry about someone else? Are you asking for me to punish you properly, huh?!” 

“…Second Young Master Ji, I was wrong, but didn’t you just say you wanted him to learn how to serve you? But he’s passed out with his eyes closed—how’s he supposed to learn…” 

Hearing that overly saccharine and seductive voice, Gu Jinlin frowned slightly. The person they were talking about, the one who was supposed to “learn to serve” this so-called Second Young Master Ji—could they be referring to him? 

“Mm, you’re right. It’s impossible to learn with your eyes closed…” 

At this point, just as Gu Jinlin struggled to open his eyes, a glass of XO with ice was suddenly splashed directly onto his face, drenching him completely. The ice cubes hit his forehead, sending a dull pain radiating out, forcing a sharp hiss of breath from his lips. 

Seeing Gu Jinlin slowly come to, that sticky, sickly sweet voice rang out again, making the already cold, soaked, and heart-wrenched Gu Jinlin feel even more miserable. 

When Gu Jinlin finally lifted his eyes and saw the two people lost in their own world on the bed, his brows furrowed even deeper. 

“Ah!!!” 

Then, that person actually fainted just like that. Although it had nothing to do with Gu Jinlin, it was clear that Second Young Master Ji, who was in the middle of his fun, was very unhappy—after all, he hadn’t… 

Without hesitation, Second Young Master Ji tossed the person aside like a used rag and walked over to Gu Jinlin. Right now, Gu Jinlin’s hands were cuffed, and his legs were so weak that he couldn’t even stand up. 

Second Young Master Ji grabbed Gu Jinlin’s chin, forcing it upward with a violent grip. Caught completely off guard, Gu Jinlin accidentally bit down on the tip of his own tongue, and the sharp taste of blood immediately spread in his mouth. 

His whole body was already aching faintly, and now with his tongue injured, Gu Jinlin’s nerves sharpened, reigniting all the dormant pain at once. The pain was so unbearable that Gu Jinlin just wanted to punch someone. 

But what Gu Jinlin didn’t know was that the tear welling up in the corner of his eye from the pain had, unintentionally, pleased the Second Young Master Ji standing before him. 

“Trying to run? Do you really think you can escape from the palm of my hand? Heh… Since that one’s useless now, and you’ve been watching for a while, you should’ve learned how to serve me by now, right? Don’t disappoint me…” 

But before Second Young Master Ji could finish his sentence, he suddenly felt a searing pain in his right hand—the same hand that was gripping the chin of this little wildcat who wanted to escape. Looking down, he saw Gu Jinlin biting down hard on the flesh between his thumb and forefinger. Second Young Master Ji jerked his hand back, but Gu Jinlin tore off a chunk of flesh with it—skin and meat, all ripped off in one savage bite. 

Gu Jinlin’s delicate, pale face was now splattered with blood. He spat out the torn flesh, and blood trickled down the corner of his mouth—whether it was his own or Second Young Master Ji’s, it was hard to tell. Gu Jinlin let out a low, chilling laugh, his expression like a little devil who had just crawled out of hell, wearing a human mask. 

“Second Young Master Ji, the only thing I know how to do is bite things off. Are you sure you want me to ‘serve’ you?”
