Chapter 46: Don’t do this to me

After that, everything hurt a lot.

It was completely different from the experience in the greenhouse. There was no communication, no kissing, and no caressing. Shen Wunian’s movements were rough, his attitude indifferent, as if he was using the little monster as a tool to extract energy rather than as a part of my body.

In the complete darkness, some strange memories flashed up deep in my mind because of the similar environment and situation. I don’t remember experiencing them myself, but they were so real – my body sinking into a cold lake, trapped, wrapped, and violated from behind by an octopus monster whose face I couldn’t see.

The monster in my memory completely ignored my will and defied my resistance, just like Shen Wunian today. The images of the two strangely overlapped, and my somewhat sluggish brain had difficulty distinguishing them for a while.

My knees trembled and I almost couldn’t stand. The man’s pathetic side was on full display here. Even though he was being treated violently, the little monster could still find joy in his suffering and spit out something from the constant squeezing.

My heart was beating so hard that it sounded like a drum, beating hard and fast against my eardrums.

The hand on my neck moved away, and Shen Wunian wrapped his arms around my waist to keep me from slipping. I thought it was over and was about to catch my breath when I felt something cold underneath me. The little monster’s jacket and undershirt had been torn off.

Leaning against the wall, I looked back helplessly, trying to locate Shen Wunian in the darkness, but it was too dark and too quiet. I couldn’t see anything but a vague dark shape.

Was it the beast or Shen Wunian?

Fear grew in the darkness, and in the trance, I couldn’t help but have absurd fantasies.

A slimy, wet touch fell behind me. Certain creatures in the water, such as octopuses, eels, and moray eels, like to hide in any narrow cave to avoid predators or to reproduce because of their biological characteristics. The cave could be a glass wine bottle that sank to the bottom of the sea, or it could be the cloaca of a certain sea cucumber.

“Ouch…” I am now the unlucky sea cucumber. The big monster behind me seems to have the same burrowing characteristic, and is even more intimidating and ferocious than the eel and the yellow eel.

The tentacles penetrate the dry cave, smearing the mucus on the walls to ensure a smooth entry and exit. Pain and struggle are ignored.

The hidden fish churned the sea cucumber’s insides, and the monster churned my insides.

“I told you not to move,”

the monster’s churning finally stopped, and my tense muscles followed suit. I thought this time it would be a real relief, but who would have thought that the next second a sharp pain would hit me and the tentacle would turn out to be nothing more than a scout. The huge and hideous main body was still waiting for me.

It is said that one sea cucumber can hold more than 15 fish. When I read this science online, I thought the sea cucumber was really amazing, with its tiny cloaca and infinite possibilities.

Now I understand that when the moment of truth really comes, you can’t help yourself, and it’s better to push your limits than to explode and die.

But it really hurts, it’s so scary…

The pain made the little monster shrink into a tiny ball, unable to cheer up again; the fear made my teeth chatter and tears fell incessantly.

Gagging, I reached behind me to push the monster, but it was easily caught, and its five fingers reached in from the back of my hand, clutching tightly and pressing heavily against the wall.

“Relax, or you’ll suffer.”

For a moment I couldn’t tell if he was impatient or reluctant, but it was only a moment because the next moment all my thoughts were shattered.

My body was alternately hot and cold. In the midst of extreme pain, my adrenaline was surging and my body was temporarily blocking out most of the pain through self-rescue. Then the previously suppressed little pleasure surfaced and took over like a prairie fire.

The little monster remembered only the food and not the beating, and in no time it was full of energy again and vomited even faster than the last time.

I closed my eyes, my eyelashes trembled, and I was completely exhausted.

“I haven’t even had enough fun yet, and you’re already out of energy?”

The monster whispered coldly, scooped me up and placed me in the soft nest.

When I came to, the monster had already invaded again.

The hermit crab burrows into the sea cucumber’s cloaca to survive, but the monster seems to enter my body just for fun.

“No…”

My clothes were lifted, my legs were grabbed and lifted by tentacles, and my feet were even wrapped in pants with shoes and socks.

The monster’s mouthparts were sharp and greedy on my chin, neck, chest, and knees, and wherever it passed, there was always the illusion of skin being torn.

Without sight, time had no real meaning. It could have been ten minutes or half an hour, I don’t know. My body was numb and all I could hear was the sound of the waves.

Several times I tried to escape, dragging the bedclothes under me and crawling blindly forward, but each time I was grabbed back by the monster behind me.

In the darkness, the monster’s eyes glowed a cold blue, looking down at its prey as it struggled desperately to escape: “You say you can’t stand it, so why are you running?”

The monster’s patience is limited, and soon it can’t stand this endless cycle of you running and me chasing. It turns me over and squeezes my neck.

The monster’s tentacles reach deep into the cave, stirring and destroying. I claw at anything I can get my hands on and the pain in my stomach is unbearable.

I scream.

“Stop…stop…”

Tears and sweat quickly soaked the bedding beneath me. I exhaled three times before I could inhale, and my mind felt like it was already running out of oxygen, foggy and hazy. If it didn’t stop, I would die.

The monster ignored all means of calling for help.

I had no choice but to take a detour: “Gala… Galatea… please don’t go on…”

This was the “safe word” that Shen Wunian and I had agreed upon. He had said that as long as I said this word, he would stop no matter what.

“Don’t do this to me…” I sobbed. My body hurt and my heart hurt even more. Even though I had been rejected by Bai Qixuan, I had never felt so sad when I saw him in Jin Huihuang.

I couldn’t understand what I had done wrong to deserve such a “punishment”.

There was a silence behind me, and the entire room was filled with no sound except for my sobs. I don’t know if it was the safe word that took effect or if my pleas for mercy brought the monster to his senses. In a daze, it backed away little by little until it was completely detached.

Something was dripping. At the bottom of the sea, a sea cucumber spits out its entrails to attract its enemy’s attention and take the opportunity to escape. On land, I don’t have such a life-saving trick, but I always feel that my entrails could also be turned into a juice, along with the light of life that flows from the place that never seems to close.

Shivering, I curled up, not wanting to speak or move.

The bed creaked as Shen Wunian got up. A little later I heard the sound of water falling into a glass jar. Then he got back into bed and held my neck, trying to get the water into my mouth.

I turned my face away and pushed against his chest, rejecting his touch.

Some of the water in the glass spilled out, some on my neck, some on my clothes, making my appearance even more unbearable.

Shen Wunian made a sound of disgust, took the cup away, and then his wet lips and tongue covered mine, flooding my mouth with sweet water.

Our eyelashes intermingled, our saliva overflowed. The water had stopped flowing, but the searing tongue refused to leave, swirling around in my mouth.

“Uhh…” I pressed against it, but it was useless. Instead, I bit down violently on the agile tongue and immediately tasted the sweet-salty blood.

Shen Wunian let out a muffled grunt and let go of me, not only my lips and tongue, but also the hand that was supporting me. I fell back onto the bed, gasping for breath.

“Do you hate me?” He seemed to be asking me, but also telling me a fact.

After a while he left the bed.

Outside, a little daylight began to appear, faintly, so that the room was not completely dark.

“You see, what you like, what you love, is not really me at all. This is the real me,

a madman, a beast… Do you understand now?” With his back to me, he straightened his clothes, his tone indifferent, his posture elegant, and there was no longer any sign of drunkenness.

“I don’t have time to play love games with you. Go find…” He paused for a moment, “Stop pestering me, Zhong Ai.

I rubbed my face against the sheets and refused to look at him.

A moment later, the door creaked open and closed quickly. Shen Wunian left without looking back, leaving me alone in the house.

My bones ached as if they had been run over by a car, and I couldn’t move a finger. Soaked in a mess of fluids, I fell asleep, exhausted.

When I awoke, the sun was high in the sky.

I sat up dazed, and my eyes were naturally drawn to what was between my legs – a horrible sight of red and white.

I stood up unsteadily, and the pain from the laceration was so intense that it made it almost impossible for me to walk.

What was I going to do? I had made a mess.

I looked helplessly at the stain on the bed, bent down and wiped it with my fingertips. It was already completely dry.

I tried to get a towel to wipe it off, but after a few steps I stumbled and fell to the floor. I had completely forgotten that I hadn’t pulled up my pants yet.

Kneeling on the cold stone tiles, a purple tooth mark came into view. I covered my knees, struggled to pull my pants up, and stood, holding on to the edge of the bed.

I already had trouble walking, and it was worse after the fall. I could only take one step for every three I rested on, and I moved as slowly as a tortoise to the bathroom. I took a towel and soaked it in water, then walked back the same way.

I rubbed my bottom for a long time, and finally the mark was no longer visible. A fine layer of cold sweat had also appeared on my forehead.

Wiping the towel dry, I leaned against the sink and looked at myself in the mirror – my eyes were red and swollen, my face pale, and there was a dent in my Adam’s apple from the same kind of teeth marks as on my knee. How was I supposed to go to class like that?

I found my cell phone on the floor and noticed that there was only a little battery left. Xie Yunze had called me a few times but couldn’t get through, so he left me a message asking why I hadn’t gone home that night.

“Are you okay, brother?”

“Don’t scare me, if anything happens to you, Xiaodai will kill me!”

“Brother, say something, brother!”

If I don’t answer, he’s afraid he’ll call the police.

“I’m fine, it was late last night, there was no subway to go back, I stayed at a friend’s house.”

Xie Yunze seemed to have been waiting on the other end of the phone the whole time and immediately replied, “Brother, you scared me to death, luckily, luckily, I almost called the police!

A faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips, but it disappeared the next moment due to the excruciating pain that was rising as he walked.

First, his body was in too much pain, and second, I didn’t look good like this, so I just skipped class that day. I didn’t go to school, I went straight home.

I cleaned up a bit in the shower and clenched my teeth so I wouldn’t cry out in shame.

I felt a little warm on the subway, but I didn’t care. After the shower, my body felt even hotter and I realized that I might have a fever.

Originally, I thought that this minor injury was similar to Xie Yunze’s, and I would get better in one night. Who would have thought that my fever would last for three whole days?

During those three days, I kept having dreams about Shen Wunian, and they even had a certain logic to them.

“This is the evidence Liang Weiren used to fabricate a fictitious wind power project to divert funds and line his own pockets. The charge of embezzlement, coupled with illegal money laundering, is enough to get him.” Philia tossed a bulging document bag onto the coffee table.

Liang Zai, who was pouring wine at the bar, glanced at it, said thank you, and then held two glasses of whiskey in his hand, one for Philia on the sofa and one for Shen Wunian by the window.

Philia happily accepted, but when it was Shen Wunian’s turn, he just looked back and didn’t take it: “No thanks, I’ve given up drinking.”

Liang Zai raised his eyebrows: “Why did you give up drinking?”

“Stomach ache,” he said as if he didn’t want to talk about it anymore, quickly bringing the conversation back on track, “How is Grandpa Liang?”

Shen Wunian didn’t drink, so Liang Zai drank the glass of wine himself.

“The doctor said he wouldn’t last the night,” he shook the ice in the glass, which was round and bubble-free, and spoke as if he wasn’t talking about his dying father, as if he was as relaxed as if he had just eaten a bowl of noodles.

“Then Ash Makinen will be here the day after tomorrow at the latest to pay his respects.” Philia suddenly laughed, pointing at herself and then at the other two men, “Avenge Dad, Avenge Mom, Avenge Mom, let’s call our team the ‘Avengers’!”

The two men obviously didn’t share her sense of humor and ignored the last part of her sentence.

Shen Wunian said, “Liang Weiren might resort to desperate measures. Mr. Liang, make sure to strengthen the security around you.”

Liang Zai nodded, “I will.”

“Not only you, Mr. Liang, but you too, brother.” Philia raised her glass, closed one eye, and looked at Shen Wunian through the transparent glass, “Make sure you hide your little lover well, otherwise watch out for the wolves to take her away.

Shen Wunian’s face fell and his eyes stared at her in horror.

“Mind your own business.” His voice was so cold it could drop ice shavings.

Philia shrugged her shoulders and acted exaggerated, “I’m so scared.”

The scene changed and Shen Wunian and Philia appeared at the Jiang City International Airport. The two of them were dressed in fine clothes, and Philia even had a bouquet of flowers in her arms.

Standing apart from them, surrounded by bodyguards on all sides, was Liang Weiren, the heir apparent of the Parkway Group.

A short time later, a blond foreigner in his sixties with a bushy beard emerged from the VIP channel.

He also had bodyguards, but only two, not as exaggerated as Liang Weiren’s.

Philia was the first to run up and say, “Daddy, I miss you so much.

Ignoring everyone else, she thrust the bouquet into the old man’s arms. After she finished speaking, she gave him a loud kiss on the cheek.

After her, Shen Wunian and Liang Weiren also came forward, hugging and shaking hands with each other.

“You must be tired from traveling.” Liang Weiren, acting like a host, said that the hotel and food had been arranged, so it didn’t matter if they wanted to rest or eat first.

The smiling old man with blond hair said he wanted to rest first.

The group left the airport and split into two cars: Shen Wunian, Philia, and the old man in one car, and Liang Weiren in the other.

As soon as they got into the car, the old man with the blond hair let out a long sigh: “My old friend, I never thought I’d see you go to heaven like this. The last time we met, you looked very healthy and we even had a drink together.

“Life is unpredictable. I’m very sorry for your loss,” Shen Wunian lowered his eyelashes and looked sad. Father, Liang Zai also wanted to pick you up today, but since his brother was there, they decided not to avoid any arguments. Tomorrow night, he will host a banquet in your honor to make up for today’s loss of respect.

“He’s still so considerate,” the blond old man’s eyes flashed with brilliance, “but unfortunately… he’s just too smart.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Wunian and Philia glanced at each other and quickly looked away.
