Li Zhikong waited for a while, but Scum Lu did not ask a second question. Frowning in confusion, he turned around.

He saw that, at some point, the man had sat down on the carpet, his back against the wall and his head tilted up at the ceiling. His eyes brimmed with tears, his wet hair still dripping water. He looked exactly like a big dog abandoned by its owner—completely gloomy, radiating utter despair.

???

Wait, what had happened?

Li Zhikong began to wonder if there was something wrong with his memory. What he had just answered was "I like you too," not "I hate you," right?

What was Scum Lu playing at? Side effects from the aphrodisiac? Had that scumbag father from the Lu Family poisoned his own son stupid?

He was completely baffled, but that did not stop him from displaying his Rabbit Spirit instincts—taking advantage of the opening to offer his Dual Cultivation tool a springlike warmth.

He went over and gently gathered the emotionally wrecked young master Lu into his arms, soothing him as though he were comforting a baby.

Of course, no baby could possibly have something so intensely present [ahem ahem]...

In any case, as they comforted each other, no one knew who made the first move. The two of them started fooling around on the obscenely expensive living room carpet—proving that Lu Mingyu truly deserved to be called a professional. The medicine he bought was reliable, with powerful effects and lasting stamina. Young Master Lu was like a ravenous wolf, pinning the Rabbit Spirit tightly in his arms and turning him this way and that, as if he wanted to do him until the end of the world!

Could anyone imagine it? When the fierce battle finally ended, Li Zhikong's legs were actually shaking, and he nearly could not get out of bed...

It felt incredible. He was extremely satisfied. Calculating the replenishment from this time together with what he had already accumulated, he would have no problem holding out for ten days to half a month without reverting to his true form.

The reason for emphasizing that he could last ten days to half a month...

Was because, after that day, Scum Lu vanished without a trace.

How Young Master Lu Won His Beauty~

Scum Lu playing disappearance games with him should have been a serious matter. After all, the Rabbit Spirit had vigorous needs. If he did not want to lose control, he needed to keep supplies stocked up for emergencies. Scum Lu was currently his only energy supplier—how could he just let him run off? If this dragged on, it would delay important business!

But then an unexpected little incident occurred and diverted Li Zhikong's attention.

It was an utterly ordinary morning. Li Zhikong lay sprawled across the big bed in his bedroom like a dried salted fish. His grandmother had come in to drag him up several times, but it was no use. He hugged his pillow, whimpering and refusing to open his eyes. In the end, the old lady was so furious that, after smacking him a few times, she headed out to wander around the market—in her original plan, she had wanted the brat to accompany her shopping. Everyone had a little vanity, after all~

That newly acquainted Old Madam Sun from the dance troupe yesterday had been utterly infuriating. When they ran into each other at the market, she had specifically gone out of her way to greet her, then dragged over a young man in his early twenties to show off. "Oh, my eldest grandson? He's usually so busy with work, and he finally has a few days off—shouldn't he be sleeping in? But he insisted he felt bad that I had to work so hard buying groceries, so he just had to come with me, had to come with me! I tried to refuse so many times, but he simply wouldn't listen, hahaha~"

Grandma had praised her aloud, saying, "Wonderful, wonderful," while inwardly she was nearly dying of anger. Wouldn't listen, huh? If you have the nerve, close your mouth. Your gums are showing!

As though you were the only one with a grandson.

I just could not be bothered to parade my grandson around. I'm afraid I'd make all of you so jealous you'd become depressed~ Fine, you're not done yet, are you? Just you wait!

No matter how much Grandma usually complained that her unfortunate grandson was too monstrous, deep down she treated Li Zhikong like a nuclear weapon. She looked down on all the other old ladies: We solemnly promise never to be the first to deploy our little grandson! After all, Qin Mobei alone was enough to crush everything in his path and flatten the entire neighborhood~

As the uncrowned queen of the area, Grandma's fighting spirit had been stirred by this long-overdue provocation. That was why she had come to pound on his door first thing in the morning.

This sort of trend could not be allowed to continue. It was time for the newly arrived old ladies to recognize reality!

Unfortunately, the plan had been perfect, but the nuclear weapon had ideas of his own and stubbornly refused to go out no matter what!

Li Zhikong wailed, "Please! Can't we go grocery shopping later? It's only past five in the morning, help!"

Just as Grandma finally gave up and the Rabbit Spirit was about to go back to sleep, his phone suddenly rang.

Fuck! Was this ever going to end?

He let out an irritated howl and was about to hang up, but from the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the caller location flashing on the screen: United States.

...Huh?

Where? The United States?

He climbed out of bed, yawning as he analyzed it. Did anyone he know go to the United States? Wait... could it be Scum Lu calling? Over the past two days, it was not as though he had not tried using the Rabbit Spirit's exclusive spiritual-energy tracking method to find him, but every attempt had vanished without a trace. According to his inherited memories, there were only two possibilities: either the other person was dead and beyond caring, or the distance between them was too great, beyond the reachable service area.

The reachable service area mentioned here was at least within a thousand-mile radius centered on him.

So there was a strong possibility that Scum Lu was no longer in the country.

Li Zhikong rubbed his chin with interest. Only after the phone had rung seven or eight times did he answer in a groggy voice, as though he had been woken from sleep. "Hello~ Who is it?"

The person on the other end gave a soft laugh.

Li Zhikong's eyes narrowed dangerously. Wrong guess. This man's voice was just as charming, but it was nothing like Scum Lu's. One was like an orchid in a courtyard, the other like a pine in the mountains.

"Who are you?" he asked again.

"I'm Bai Jinxiao."

"..." Li Zhikong fell silent for two seconds. "Who?"

"Bai Jinxiao," the man quickly added before Li Zhikong could lose his temper and hang up. "It's real. Listen to me first. What happened back then was a little complicated. In short, the one who died wasn't me. I've been abroad all these years. By my calculations, you should be almost grown up now, and things on my end have improved quite a bit..."
