"So by that logic, the Lu Family men were at least good-looking—especially Young Master Lu. He totally had the looks and aura of an overbearing male lead."

"Just a little too scummy."

"Scummy or not, it wasn't like we had a chance anyway."

"Could you bunch of shameless foxes keep it down? Don't you see there's someone right next to us?"

Li Zhikong, the person next to them who had become the center of attention: "..."

Outwardly, he was calm and pleasant; inwardly, a violent storm raged. In the time those pretty girls had spent talking, he had already mentally executed Scum Lu eight hundred times.

They were talking about Young Master Lu, right? The Young Master Lu he knew, right?

He had just been watching fish by the lake, and somehow the gossip had landed right in his own backyard...

You bastard! I gave you massages and restored your health every day, and I even personally made nourishing supplements for you to eat!

Are you even human? You told me you had something urgent to do, but you were actually fooling around with your dad! You called so many people at once. I was so considerate of you—I took it slow every time, afraid I'd drain you dry and shorten your service life.

And this was how you repaid me?

It had been one thing when the pretty girls had not noticed Li Zhikong. But the moment they turned their eyes toward him, they could no longer look away. Their cheeks flushed red, and their bold manner vanished completely. They looked as innocent as sheltered maidens from ancient times, as though they had never known what romance between men and women was since the day they were born.

In the end, it was the all-powerful Sun Zhu who rescued him.

Unable to strike up a conversation with him, the beauties could only leave resentfully with Sun Zhu.

Li Zhikong remained where he was. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Finally, he packed up his art supplies and went to find Scum Lu and settle the score.

After all, seeing was believing. If he really was like those people said...

Trash belonged in the trash can. Wasn't it disgusting to wash it and keep using it?

Chapter 27 ◇

◎Were they both scumbags in each other's eyes?◎

Lu Yuan stormed out furiously.

As he walked, he pulled out his phone and dialed a number. The call connected quickly, and the ringing tone sounded in his ear.

At the same time, familiar music began playing nearby. The elevator dinged, its doors opened, and the two men stared at each other through the widening gap.

Silence. Silence was Cambridge tonight.

...He had not even finished making arrangements. How had that little lustful rabbit come knocking already?

Wait, didn't that mean that if he had not gotten angry and left immediately, he would have been caught at home surrounded by a flock of women?

The thought of that suffocating scene made Young Master Lu shudder. Cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

A few traces of guilt appeared in his eyes before he could stop them.

Li Zhikong caught them sharply and sneered as he casually ended the call.

"Weren't you busy with countless affairs every day? How could you bear to come out? Don't tell me there were no condoms left at home?" What a miscalculation. He should have taken the stairs. He had given Scum Lu a chance to argue.

There was definitely something behind those words... That useless bastard Sun Zhu—had that little lustful rabbit seen everything?

Lu Yuan opened his mouth, only to realize that there was no way to explain what had happened today. It was simply too bizarre. Whether it was "my dad gave me an aphrodisiac," or "the aphrodisiac didn't work—crazy, right?", or "so those women had nothing to do with me, my dad called them all, and I remained unmoved in the face of temptation," or "I didn't come out because there were no condoms, and I didn't call you because I wanted to stand you up," or "heaven is screwing with me—couldn't you have shown up two minutes later? Then I could have proven my innocence"...

It all sounded unbelievably absurd. Anyone with half a brain would never believe it.

What made Young Master Lu feel even more awkward was this: wait, why was his first thought about proving his innocence? Who was that little lustful rabbit to him? They were not officially boyfriends yet, so they had no obligation to be faithful to each other, did they?

...What? So they did not have an obligation to be faithful to each other yet?!

After suddenly realizing this, Young Master Lu did not feel relieved in the slightest. Instead, he wanted to slap himself. Where was my brain? Did I feed all my intelligence to the dogs?

He recalled that little lustful rabbit's usual behavior. The guy was wild and lustful, loved pretty faces, and whenever he saw Lu Yuan, he wanted nothing else. Soulful connection? Shared interests? None of that mattered! He loved abs! He loved a powerful waist! He loved that little bit of cock!

Male arrogance had numbed him. Once Lu Yuan analyzed things rationally, he was immediately shocked—if he were a woman, that little lustful rabbit's behavior would make him a complete scumbag who only wanted sex and refused responsibility! Every time he contacted him, every time he came to his door, every time he gave him a gift, there was only one purpose: as long as it did not kill him, he would fuck him to death!

Other than that, he completely vanished from sight!

Had I been played by him?

Young Master Lu rarely had moments of clarity, and his feelings were incredibly complicated.

He gave Li Zhikong a long, deep look.

Li Zhikong: ???

What had just happened?

This dead scumbag was way too arrogant, wasn't he? Li Zhikong had caught him cheating, yet not only did he refuse to explain himself, he even wanted to turn the tables?

It was as if Li Zhikong were the shameless scumbag who had failed to uphold male virtue. What the hell? Was there no justice left in this world?!

"Come with me." Lu Yuan grabbed Li Zhikong's wrist and started pulling him into the elevator.

Li Zhikong struggled hard. "Wait..." So eager to flee the scene of the crime—was he trying to destroy the evidence?

What a scheming dead scumbag!

Unfortunately, the difference in their builds was right there. Once Lu Yuan got serious, Li Zhikong could not match him in strength. In the end, the two of them entered the elevator, and Lu Yuan pressed the button for a lower floor.

"Let's change locations first. Then I'll explain everything properly."

Li Zhikong yanked his sun hat down hard. "Fine! Let's find the nearest hotel. I'd like to hear what else you have to say!"

Why did changing locations automatically mean finding the nearest hotel?

Lu Yuan was especially sensitive right now. The moment he heard that, his hackles rose. "What hotel? Who said anything about a hotel? Can't we just get a cup of coffee?"

Li Zhikong fell silent for two seconds, then looked up at him with an indescribable expression. "Do you really think, given your current state, that a café would be appropriate?"

"Why wouldn't it be appropriate..." Lu Yuan followed his gesture and looked down.
