Because You Deserve It

He slipped the suppressant into his pocket and stood there, staring at the two embracing each other until Lu Zhi looked up and saw him.

He saw the chill in Lu Zhi's eyes, and Shen Ranxin's hand wrapped around Lu Zhi's waist.

Then he suddenly let out a scoff.

Why? Why did Shen Ranxin choose Lu Zhi again and again? Why did he have to step aside for Lu Zhi?

He was going to have Shen Ranxin. He was going to take back the lover who should have been his from Lu Zhi.

He stepped forward, and an omega's soothing pheromones spilled into the air.

Lu Zhi picked Shen Ranxin up and said coldly, "If you don't want to die, don't do anything unnecessary."

"He needs me right now, doesn't he?" Cheng Cheng said. "He's terrified. He can't even handle his pheromones anymore. Your soothing pheromones are completely useless on him, aren't they?"

Lu Zhi paused and glanced at Shen Ranxin in his arms. His face was pale, and he was still muttering nervously under his breath, "Don't leave. I'll fucking chop you to death."

"Even so, he doesn't need trash pheromones like yours." Lu Zhi sneered. "They make me want to throw up."

With that, he carried Shen Ranxin past Cheng Cheng.

The others who knew what had happened in the haunted house hurried over to clean up the mess. All the lights in the manor were switched on, and several NPCs looked fearfully at Shen Ranxin, who lay weakly in Lu Zhi's arms.

"That was awful. You scared him half to death." Gu Yifei looked at Shen Ranxin with displeasure written all over his face. "How do you people do your jobs? Don't you have any sense of boundaries in a situation like this?"

The NPCs: "..."

No! Big brother! He hadn't been like that just now!

The way he had looked earlier, if he had been wearing a blue-striped hospital gown, no one would have doubted that he had escaped from a psychiatric hospital!

After Lu Zhi took Shen Ranxin out of the haunted house, Shen Ranxin slept briefly. About an hour later, he woke up in a daze.

Then he discovered in horror that Lu Zhi was rubbing against his lips.

And he was fucking doing it with his mouth.

Shen Ranxin abruptly shoved him away, sat up, and raised his hand to slap Lu Zhi.

The whole sequence was smooth and seamless!

Lu Zhi blinked innocently. "You're awake."

Shen Ranxin rubbed hard at his lips and sneered. "Do you have no shame?"

"Sorry." Lu Zhi went along with it smoothly. "Teacher Shen was just too tempting, sleeping in my arms. It was really hard to restrain myself."

Shen Ranxin raised a brow at him. "Want another beating?"

Lu Zhi gave him a fawning smile, leaned closer, and said, "Can Teacher Shen use his feet next time? I actually really like your feet. They're very fair, the shape is perfect, and your ankles are sexy enough..."

Shen Ranxin: "..."

I'm already sick of calling him a pervert!

Faced with Lu Zhi's filthy talk, Shen Ranxin was utterly at a loss for words. He had no idea what to say and could only remain silent.

It was not until Fang Yu walked in carrying a glass of water and saw Shen Ranxin sitting safely on the bed that he let out a breath of relief. "You're awake. I was just about to get a doctor to take a look at you."

Shen Ranxin froze. "Why would a doctor need to look at me? I..."

He covered his forehead and thought for a moment. "Did I faint from being scared?"

Fang Yu thought for a while before saying, "More or less. It's just that before you fainted from fright, you sort of scared someone else into fainting first."

Shen Ranxin was completely confused. "What are you talking about?"

Fang Yu sighed. "An NPC got so scared by you that he fell and knocked out one of his front teeth. The production team has already sent him to the hospital, and he's making a scene there, demanding that you take responsibility."

Shen Ranxin looked at Lu Zhi. "Did that happen?"

Lu Zhi said, "It's not your fault. He was making a mountain out of a molehill."

Fang Yu: "..."

President Lu was bending over backward to defend him.

Shen Ranxin threw off the blanket and got to his feet. "If he was hurt because of me, then let's go visit him at the hospital."

The actor playing the NPC at the hospital was clamoring for Shen Ranxin to take responsibility.

The moment Shen Ranxin reached the ward, he heard the man's furious voice. "I got this front tooth knocked out because he scared me! And he caused me irreparable psychological trauma! Not only does he have to pay for my dental work, he also has to compensate me for emotional damages!"

Director Chen's voice quickly followed from the side. "You were injured while working, so the production team will definitely compensate you. But isn't asking for three hundred thousand a little excessive?"

"He's a huge star! Can't he afford three hundred thousand?" the man continued. "I don't care. If the money isn't paid, I'll expose this online! I'll let everyone see what kind of morally bankrupt trash he is! And your production team won't get off easy either!"

Shen Ranxin's face immediately darkened. He lifted a foot and walked into the ward.

The man who had just been shouting aggressively shrank back when he saw Shen Ranxin, and his voice grew much quieter. "Y-you, what kind of expression is that? Am I wrong? Everyone online says you have human lives on your hands, that you're an out-and-out murderer..."

Shen Ranxin smiled, braced himself against the foot of the bed, and said in a creepy tone, "That was before. I've changed now. Look, I came here this time and didn't even kill you."

"..."

The man screamed, yanked the blanket over his head, and shrieked hysterically, "Don't come over here!"

Shen Ranxin narrowed his eyes. "You're this scared of me, yet you still dare extort my money?"

"W-who's extorting you?" The man opened his mouth and pointed at his swollen lower lip and missing front tooth. "Didn't you cause this?! Since you caused it, you have to take responsibility! Three hundred thousand, not a cent less!"

Shen Ranxin sneered and was just about to tell Director Chen to call the police when Lu Zhi spoke. "Three hundred thousand, right? Send me your bank account number."

Shen Ranxin froze and turned to look at him. "No, are you a sucker? He's obviously demanding an outrageous price..."

Before he could finish speaking, the man on the bed swiftly sent his bank account number to the production team's work group.

Lu Zhi lowered his head and operated his phone.

The next second, the man's phone received a transfer notification.

He held up his phone with a face full of excitement. "President Lu is the reasonable one..."

Then he realized that six hundred thousand had been deposited into his account.

He froze.

Wait, were there really compensation payments these days that raised their own price?

Lu Zhi casually put his phone away and asked gently, "Did you receive it?"

The man nodded blankly. "But I asked for three hundred thousand. Why did you give me six hundred thousand?"

Lu Zhi bared his teeth in a smile. "Because you deserve it."

The moment the words fell, the Alpha's fist arrived as promised, smashing into his face with the force of thunder!

Accompanied by the nurses' screams throughout the hospital.

A bloody front tooth bounced across the floor a few times before rolling beneath the sofa in the ward.
