Chapter 181

The Truth Will Come Out Part 1

Shi Jin experienced the consequences of his own actions firsthand.

He had bought all those boxed items, but he never had the chance to use them. Besides, Lian Jun didn't like using them, and the sizes weren't right either. However, Lian Jun had used all the bottled items on him...even though they were clearly meant for Lian Jun.

Oh well, there was no point in dwelling on these details now. On the bright side, he had finally made some progress with Lian Jun, which was a big step forward for both of them. As for the not-so-good parts...

"Jin Jin, are you okay?" Xiao Si asked with a strange tone, sounding both concerned and amused.

Shi Jin lay on the bed, covered by a thin blanket. Various ambiguous marks were scattered densely on his exposed shoulders and back, giving off a seductive vibe. He remained motionless with his eyes tightly shut, appearing to be asleep. However, his mind was clear and alert.

When faced with Xiao Si's inquiry, he immediately responded with a soft tone, "You saw it, didn't you?"

Xiao Si quickly pretended to be clueless and replied, "N-no, I shut off my consciousness when you and Baby were still in the car. I don't know anything that happened afterwards. You didn't hear any screams yesterday, right? If I saw anything, I definitely wouldn't be able to keep it to myself."

Yesterday, because Lian Jun launched a sudden attack and Xiao Si remained quiet throughout, Shi Jin completely forgot that he had a little peeping tom in his mind. It wasn't until Lian Jun's careful and serious preparations left him stiff and tense, almost giving up, that he remembered Xiao Si's existence.

He had a vague feeling that his body had suddenly become a little softer and more sensitive, as if he had been brushed with some strange buff...

"Do you really know nothing?" Shi Jin asked ominously.

Xiao Si was almost scared into a duck's cry by his tone, but managed to steady itself and replied, "Y-yes, I really don't know anything."

"Who gave me that buff yesterday? Do you think I'm a dead person who can't feel anything? You little cheat!" Shi Jin suddenly exploded, "You must have seen it!"

Xiao Si immediately raised its voice and said, "No! I didn't! I didn't see anything! The buff had just been applied, and our baby hadn't even been entered yet when you put me in the little black room. I really didn't see anything!"

Shi Jin's mind was about to explode, and he shouted, "You still want to see him come in? You saw everything! You saw my appearance! Forget it and don't remember!"

"I don't want to! I just wanted to make you feel better. I didn't mean to look, and I didn't even finish watching... I didn't even see the most important part, waaah... Why are you being so mean, Jin Jin?" Xiao Si started crying.

"You still want to watch-" Shi Jin couldn't continue his sentence as he was overwhelmed by Xiao Si's tears. He remembered how much better he felt after the buff was used on his back last night, and realized that it was his fault for forgetting to put Xiao Si in the black room.

He felt guilty and softened his voice to comfort it, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have yelled at you... Please don't cry, I'm sorry. I was just embarrassed."

Xiao Si was easily pacified and stopped crying. It sniffled and asked, "So, how many times did you and Baby do it yesterday?"

The warmth on Shi Jin's face disappeared in an instant, and he called out in a low voice, "Xiao Si."

Xiao Si continued to cry, crying even louder.

Shi Jin's headache was so intense that he pressed a pillow against his head, completely relaxing and lying on the bed like a soulless fish.

After a stalemate for ten minutes, Xiao Si finally compromised and stopped crying, carefully saying, "Jin Jin, are you happy? Is our Baby happy? I'm just worried about you guys. If things aren't harmonious between lovers, it's easy to have problems, and life is still long..."

Shi Jin's high emotions, which he had been unable to suppress due to embarrassment, slightly subsided at its words. He furrowed his brows and asked, "Xiao Si, what's wrong with you? Why are you speaking in that tone?"

Xiao Si stopped crying, but it also didn't say anything. Shi Jin finally understood what was going on and fell silent. He turned his head to look at the half-closed curtains of the floor-to-ceiling window. After a long time, he mustered up the courage to look at the progress bars in his mind that belonged to him and Lian Jun.

Since reconciling with Fei Yujing, he had not looked at the value of the progress bar again. Xiao Si probably had the same idea, so it no longer reminded him of the ups and downs of the progress bar like before. But to say that it was ups and downs, in fact, during this period of time, the progress bar between him and Lian Jun only went down and never up.

For the first time, he felt fear and resistance towards the drop in the progress bar.

The last time he checked, his progress bar was at 40, while Lian Jun's was at 350. And this time... The numbers 20 and 200 appeared before his eyes, clear and blinding. Although Shi Jin had mentally prepared himself, he couldn't help feeling anxious when he saw those two numbers for real.

Lian Jun's recovery speed was too fast, and so was his speed in resolving his inner conflicts.

All of Lian Jun's dangers stemmed from his physical condition and his identity. Regarding his physical condition, Uncle Long had said that Lian Jun would only need the medicine seven or eight more times at most, which meant that his body would be completely healed in seven or eight months at most.

As for his identity, the storm was brewing in the underworld. Although Shi Jin hadn't been involved in any major business recently, he knew that Annihilation had already cut off ties with his old associates and reorganized internally, preparing for a tough fight against the four major organizations.

The battle with the goal of mutual destruction of both sides was not expected to last too long, at most a year. By then, Lian Jun, who had shed his old identity, would be completely safe as long as he could handle the official side of things.

As for him, with only 20 points left on his progress bar, he couldn't hold out for a year no matter how he thought about it. Among his five brothers, he only had the knot in his heart towards Shi Weichong left to untie. After all that Shi Weichong had done for him, even driving himself almost crazy, he didn't hate the other party as much as before. He had a feeling that this last bit of progress bar would probably disappear quickly when he saw Shi Weichong again.

A lifetime was so long, but the time left for him and Xiao Si to be together was really not much.

"Lian Jun said that he would marry me after I graduate. Won't you come to our wedding?" he asked softly, with a hint of hope and pleading.

Xiao Si remained silent.

Shi Jin tightened his grip on the pillow, let out a sigh, and closed his eyes.

Click. The sound of the door opening, followed by the aroma of food wafting in.

Shi Jin stirred, lifted his head from the pillow, and turned to look towards the door.

Lian Jun, wearing only a robe, walked in carrying a tray. There were one or two ambiguous marks on his neck and collarbone, and a clear bite mark on the side of his neck.

Shi Jin blushed at the sight and turned his head away, his mind uncontrollably conjuring up some unsavory images. Lian Jun was always serious about his work, and Shi Jin knew this about him. However, Shi Jin never expected Lian Jun to be so serious and gentle when doing that kind of thing.

Yesterday, Lian Jun intentionally prolonged the foreplay and preparation because he was afraid that Shi Jin would be hurt or left with any psychological trauma from his first time. This made Shi Jin very uncomfortable. He had tough skin, strong energy, and his body would become excited at the slightest touch. While Lian Jun was preparing, he continuously kissed and touched Shi Jin's sensitive spots to calm him down.

This caused Shi Jin's body to remain in a state of excitement, and he felt like he was being "played" with unilaterally. By the time Lian Jun finally felt that the preparation was enough and wanted to start officially, Shi Jin was already as limp as a dead fish.

When they were doing it, it was even more torturous. Lian Jun took great care of him and was considerate of his feelings. He was gentle when he needed to be and intense when he needed to be, which led to him getting a little too carried away later on. When he lost control, he couldn't help but bite Lian Jun a few times.

It wasn't that he had a penchant for abusing his lover in that way, but Lian Jun was taking care of him too much and he was a little angry. He wanted Lian Jun to let go a little and enjoy himself more. But when Lian Jun finally started to enjoy himself, he wanted to die.

Last night, Lian Jun only did it twice, but counting the number of releases, he was tortured by Lian Jun four or five times.

It was too scary, he could get kidney deficiency. Even now, he still felt his legs were weak and his waist was not very comfortable. As soon as Lian Jun saw him looking at himself, he thought he was angry.

He quickly put down his food, sat on the edge of the bed, leaned over and hugged him, kissing his shoulder, and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" As he spoke, his hand had already reached his shoulder, trying to crawl under the blanket.

After they finished yesterday, although Lian Jun had ignored Shi Jin's objections and carefully cleaned him up, even applying ointment, it was still the first time. Lian Jun always worried that he didn't take care of Shi Jin carefully enough, which could cause him to get hurt or sick.

As soon as Shi Jin was touched by him, his body couldn't help but tremble sensitively. Yesterday's memory was too deep, and his body and soul both remembered that kind of crazy pleasure. He reflexively rolled up the blanket and rolled to the side, only showing half of his face, and warned Lian Jun, "Don't touch me for now. My clothes are still on, and I need to get dressed."

Lian Jun didn't expect him to hide, and after a moment of hesitation, he withdrew his hand. Looking at his vigilant eyes, his heart softened, and he instead propped himself up on him, his arm wrapped around his head, and asked, "Are you angry?"

"No," Shi Jin covered the lower half of his face with the blanket, afraid of smelling Lian Jun's breath, while his body reacted uncontrollably.

"You talked in your sleep last night," Lian Jun suddenly changed the topic.

Shi Jin was immediately distracted and asked, "What did I say?"

"You said 'Baby, one more time'," Lian Jun replied, his tone very sincere.

Shi Jin was stunned for a moment, then his mind exploded and he lifted the blanket to cover his mouth, frowning and saying, "You're lying, I never talk in my sleep, you must be tricking me."

Lian Jun quickly grabbed his hands, pressing them down on either side of his body, then leaned over and kissed him, his tongue prying open his lips and stealing his breath.

"Mmm...you're cheating...mmm..."

The two slowly entangled together, Lian Jun gradually pulling Shi Jin out of the blanket and making him kneel on the bed. Then he wrapped his arms around his body, his hands slowly moving down his back.
