My legs have gone weak; I can't walk anymore

Bai Jin was so angry he laughed. Did they take him for an idiot?

They had clearly hacked the surveillance cameras in his residential complex long ago. Otherwise, how would they have known about the latest developments between him and Lu Chengze?

White Wolf: [You have ten minutes to remove every surveillance camera that can capture my home. Otherwise, don't blame me for tracking you down in return.]

In the deathly silent group chat, all three of them typed the same reply: [Understood.]

Then, the three of them logged off in perfect unison.

Bai Jin shook his head helplessly.

Even if those guys really wanted to protect him, they shouldn't have been so reckless.

For international mercenaries like them, Xu City might not be as dangerous as the capital, but once their whereabouts were exposed, it would still be extremely dangerous.

Especially since he and Lu Chengze had grown so close. If Lu Chengze noticed anything suspicious because of this, Bai Jin did not even dare imagine the consequences.

As soon as school let out that afternoon, Bai Jin arranged for only two people to stay on duty in the laboratory building and let everyone else leave.

He slung his backpack over his shoulders as well, preparing to head home.

The moment he stepped out of the school gates, he saw Lu Chengze's conspicuous, flamboyant personal car parked by the roadside.

Lu Chengze sat in the back seat with the window lowered. One hand rested against the window frame, a cigarette between his fingers. His handsome face looked so casual and languid through the hazy smoke—unbelievably sexy.

Lu Jin stood beside the car with an expression that warned strangers to stay away.

With two such striking men and a car gathered at the school entrance during the peak after-school rush, they drew plenty of attention.

But everyone knew who was sitting inside the car, so they did not dare stare openly at Lu Chengze. Thus, when Bai Jin walked out of the school gates, the looks they gave him were utterly blatant.

Bai Jin was extremely sensitive to other people's gazes and immediately caught the ill intentions hidden in many of them.

He blinked, innocently breaking eye contact with Lu Chengze. Rather than walk toward him, he pivoted on his heel and headed straight for the sidewalk on the other side.

Lu Chengze: "..."

Tsk!

Was the little one trying to play hide-and-seek with him? He hid, Lu Chengze sought; he ran, Lu Chengze chased?

That was fine too.

So Lu Chengze opened the door and got out, striding after Bai Jin, who was hurrying along with his head down. "Little one, are you feeling shy?"

Bai Jin kept his head lowered and said nothing, but his steps grew faster and faster until he was practically running.

His actions made his attitude clear: "I don't want to ride in the car. I want to run a bit and exercise."

Lu Chengze snorted. "With that skinny little body of yours, you'll collapse from exhaustion if you run home..."

Before Lu Chengze could finish, Bai Jin shot forward in a fit of pique.

He darted more than ten meters away.

Lu Chengze stared in astonishment, delight flashing in his eyes. He stopped wasting words and quickly caught up to Bai Jin. "Not bad, little one! That burst of speed just now was enough to rival the special forces soldiers in our military."

Only then did Bai Jin flash Lu Chengze a brilliant smile. "How could a skinny little pup like me have any explosive power?"

Bai Jin's smile dazzled Lu Chengze, and his words left him momentarily choked. "I was just saying it casually! What? Are you angry?"

Bai Jin ignored him and continued running forward with his head lowered.

He maintained a pace that kept him two steps ahead of Lu Chengze.

The two ran along the road like that, but the farther they ran, the more heated Lu Chengze's gaze became. Every time Bai Jin took a step, his white T-shirt fluttered in the wind, revealing glimpses of his waist.

Bai Jin's skin was very fair. In the golden afterglow of the setting sun, it appeared exceptionally dazzling, exceptionally... intoxicating.

Thinking of how his hand had previously caressed Bai Jin's slender waist and those lean, delicate ankles...

Lu Chengze's gaze on Bai Jin's back grew so heated it was practically shooting flames. A beautiful scene had already formed in his mind—hiss!!!

The fantasy was too vivid, and Lu Chengze felt a sudden warmth beneath his nose.

To avoid embarrassing himself in front of Bai Jin, Lu Chengze hurriedly stopped those blood-rushing thoughts and focused on running behind him.

Speechless, Lu Jin drove behind the two of them. Steering with one hand, he used the other to record the precious sight of his Fifth Master, dressed in a custom-made suit and gleaming polished leather shoes, running after Young Master Bai like a foolish young man chasing his wife.

He not only sent it to their small WeChat group, but also sent the video directly to Old Master Lu and Grandpa Lu. Only after receiving everyone's astonished reactions did he put his phone away in satisfaction.

One after the other, they ran into the residential complex. Without looking back, Bai Jin climbed the stairs, opened the door, and entered... while forcibly squeezing one Lu Chengze inside before shutting the door, all in one smooth sequence.

Lu Jin, one step too late: "..."

The two were crowded in front of the shoe cabinet by the door. More accurately, Lu Chengze pressed Bai Jin from behind, trapping him between Lu Chengze's chest and the shoe cabinet. "Fifth Master, what are you doing~"

Having just run several kilometers, Bai Jin was breathing lightly, and his voice trembled faintly as he spoke. Even the final word trailed off in a quiver, as though Lu Chengze had already loved him hard in every possible way.

There had already been a small flame burning in Lu Chengze's chest, and Bai Jin's unintentional provocation instantly turned it into a raging blaze.

The man was immensely strong. With only the slightest exertion, he made Bai Jin cry out as he fell into Lu Chengze's already open embrace.

"Ah... mmph..."

Lu Chengze gripped his chin and forcibly tilted his head aside. A scorching, urgent kiss came crashing down, leaving him nowhere to hide.

Bai Jin fit perfectly into Lu Chengze's embrace. In the quiet space, only Bai Jin's muffled, futile struggles could be heard.

That forceful kiss left Bai Jin dizzy and muddled. He did not even know when Lu Chengze had turned him around, and the hand holding his chin had long since loosened.

It was desire, comfort, and a catalyst.

Just when Bai Jin thought Lu Chengze was about to take him right there, Lu Chengze stopped, breathing heavily. "Baby, you're so sweet."

"Mm..." Bai Jin's lips were as red as the hazy, flushed corners of his eyes from all the kissing. He had not even heard what Lu Chengze said clearly, yet he nodded foolishly in response.

That obedient, easily plucked appearance was completely devoid of the prideful attitude he had shown while sulking at Lu Chengze outside the school.

Soft and delicate, he looked especially well-behaved.

Lu Chengze pinched Bai Jin's cheek and smiled. "I'll let you off for today. Come on, let's go to the living room first."

Bai Jin clutched Lu Chengze's clothes with both hands. "My legs went weak. I can't walk."
