A Scar

Lu Lin tested the water’s temperature in the bathtub with his fingers.

Hearing this, he briefly frowned.

“?”

Su Yan was still rolling around and being a spoiled brat on the sofa, his voice soft and sweet.

“I just want you to help me wash. Otherwise, your whole apartment will be covered in mud spots by tomorrow morning. “

That was quite a vivid image, but he had no idea how one was supposed to make an entire apartment covered in mud spots.

As if knowing what Lu Lin was pondering, Su Yan giggled and added, “Use a mop to smear it on the walls. “

Lu Lin: “……” That was indeed shameless.

“And that’s not allowed either. “

He didn’t want to be called a pervert by him the next day after he sobered up.

“Really not allowed?”

Su Yan pouted and instinctively acted cute.

“You’ve changed, Lu Lin. “

Su Yan suddenly sat up and thumped on the sofa.

However, he also hit the edge of the coffee table and could only bite his lip and endure the pain.

Lu Lin was quite curious about how he had changed.

He quietly stood there, not saying anything, waiting for him to continue.

“Aren’t obsessive, edgy, and over-bearing your signature words?!”

“I’m asking you to help me bathe. Shouldn’t you think that’s very holy?”

Lu Lin: “……Hmph. “

Did it require undressing a person and putting them in the bathtub, then kneeling piously on the ground to kowtow a few times?

Was that what he meant by holy?

“How will you wash yourself then?”

The helplessness in Lu Lin’s voice was evident, but he still obediently walked over to Su Yan.

Su Yan lay on the sofa with a dazed expression, revealing a stretch of fair collarbone.

He opened his mouth and slowly uttered a sentence, “You have to say ‘I hate Shen Yichen’ ten times. “

Even though he didn’t know what this quirk was, Lu Lin glanced at Su Yan’s dirty clothes and did as Su Yan asked.

“Good boy. “

Su Yan, who didn’t know when he had stood up, raised his head slightly and patted the top of Lu Lin’s head, which was taller than his own.

The fluffy feel softened his heart, and he spontaneously praised him.

“It’s a pity about this silver hair; it doesn’t suit me. “

Lu Lin silently made a mental note.

Su Yan followed closely behind Lu Lin, and once they were in the bathroom, he began to take off his shirt.

Just as he was trying to unbutton his pants, Lu Lin, his ears flushed red, stopped his hand.

“I washed already. “

Su Yan blinked and looked at the thin layer of muscle on his slender waist.

He reached out and touched it, then opened his mouth in regret.

“Oh, I see. Well, I won’t take yours off then. “

Lu Lin, you’ve missed the chance for a couple’s bath.

When he walked out, he casually turned off the bathroom light.

His heart had already been stolen by Su Yan, and he feared that all of this was just a dream that would disappear into bubbles when he woke up.

However, he had forgotten to retrieve the locator on Su Yan…

Lu Lin chose to place another order on the shopping app:

99 locators.

The sound of rushing water in the bathroom still hadn’t stopped, yet a considerable amount of time had already passed.

If he still hadn’t come out at this point, he was probably boiled to death in the bathtub.

Lu Lin put on his slippers and called out to Su Yan a few times from outside the door, trying all sorts of names, but he didn’t get a response.

He could see the panic in his eyes, and he had no choice but to break down the door.

He was asleep…

From his neck to his face, Su Yan was a crimson red, a warning sign.

He was completely flushed, like a cooked shrimp, and his head was slumped limply on the edge of the bathtub, emitting even breaths.

Lu Lin was speechless for a moment, and then felt a pang of heartache.

He went to the room’s wardrobe and took out a bath towel.

Along with the bath towel, a letter with no signature fell to the floor.

He didn’t seem to have noticed.

When he gently lifted Su Yan out of the bathtub, he saw a scar on Su Yan’s lower abdomen, a whole inch long.
