It was the dead of night.
Crack~
The sudden sound of a twig snapping underfoot came from the courtyard.
Jiang Mingxi instantly tightened his grip on the water dipper beside him.
Rustle, rustle~ Rustle, rustle~
The door was pried open.
Then hushed footsteps approached the inner room from the doorway.
Jiang Mingxi lay on the kang facing the door, his slightly narrowed eyes making out the person who had entered.
It really was that blond.
A real criminal!
Once inside, the blond made out the person lying on the kang by the moonlight and climbed onto it without a moment's hesitation.
Click.
As he drew close to Jiang Mingxi, he bumped into something.
The blond glanced down.
Well, damn!
A watch!
In a box, too?
It looked expensive!
He pocketed the watch, then yanked away Jiang Mingxi's quilt and moved to pin him down.
Almost simultaneously, Jiang Mingxi grabbed the water dipper beside him and smashed it into the back of the blond's head!
Bang!
Caught completely off guard by the solid blow, the blond flew into a shocked rage.
"You little bitch! You're awake?"
The back of his head burned with pain. Fury blazed in his eyes as he gritted his teeth and grabbed at Jiang Mingxi's clothes.
"Good thing you're awake. I don't like fucking corpses anyway!"
Back at the auto repair shop that day, Jiang Mingxi's face had already turned the blond on.
He was so fucking good-looking!
He had spent the entire day waiting for nightfall.
For almost the entire day, he had imagined how hard he would fuck him that night.
Now, that viciousness mingling with his fury, he reached below Jiang Mingxi's lower belly.
"Aaaaah!!!!"
The instant his hand reached out, Jiang Mingxi seized his wrist and bent it hard.
The blond let out a howl of agony.
His scream shook the heavens.
Jiang Mingxi snapped his wrist. Cold sweat poured off the blond from the pain, and his raging lust shot straight to the top of his skull. Murder flashed in his eyes as he pulled a folding dagger from his pocket with his other hand.
While the blond screamed over his broken wrist, Jiang Mingxi slipped off the kang onto the floor.
His suitcase sat on the floor.
Before the blond came in, Jiang Mingxi had already opened it.
Now that he had jumped down, he pretended to panic and grabbed clothes from the suitcase, hurling them at the blond.
The blond caught the clothes and viciously flung them at Jiang Mingxi's face.
He climbed down too and thrust at him with the dagger.
Jiang Mingxi gritted his teeth, braced himself for the pain, and pretended he couldn't dodge in time, letting the dagger slash his arm.
"You little bitch, how dare you hit me! I'll show you what I can do!" the blond snarled. After slashing Jiang Mingxi, he went in for a second stab.
However.
The person whose arm he had so easily slashed a moment ago.
Now leaped straight into the air and kicked both feet hard into his chest.
Bang!
Before the blond could even register what had happened, he staggered two or three steps backward, tripped over the clothes on the floor, and fell.
The instant he landed on his ass.
Jiang Mingxi lunged, pinning his throat with his elbow while stepping on the wrist of his knife hand.
"Aah!"
Pinned to the floor, the blond screamed.
But before the sound could carry, Jiang Mingxi held him down and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Help! Someone, help! Catch the thief!"
"Someone! There's a thief!"
"Catch the thief!"
The blond stared dumbfounded at the person holding him down so completely that he couldn't resist at all.
Huh?
Haven't you already caught me?
Jiang Mingxi shouted so hard that he nearly passed out from lack of oxygen.
Taking two deep breaths, Jiang Mingxi pressed his knee against the blond's chest, held his neck, and asked, "Who sent you?"
The blond was a tough guy who knew his way around the underworld.
He spat at Jiang Mingxi. "You're good-looking, so I came to fuck you!"
Jiang Mingxi: ...
"Hehehehehe!"
He reached over and grabbed a small tin box from the edge of the kang.
"Know what's in here?"
The blond's gaze stayed resolute. He would never submit.
Jiang Mingxi pulled the lid off the tin.
Revealing what was inside-
Shit?
The blond: o.o!!!
Jiang Mingxi shoved the contents of the tin in front of the blond's eyes. "Look, there are even little white cuties that wriggle."
The blond: O.O~ bleurgh~~~
He watched the maggots wriggling in the shit.
The tough-as-nails blond let out a retch, but Jiang Mingxi was ruthless.
"If you don't talk, I'll make you eat your own puke."
The blond: ...
Without a second's hesitation, he blurted, "Someone paid me fifty thousand yuan to fuck you!"
"Who?" Jiang Mingxi asked.
Watching Jiang Mingxi move the box of shit and little creatures toward his mouth, the blond trembled with fear. "I don't know who! I've never met him. He added me on WeChat and transferred the money."
"Let me see," Jiang Mingxi said.
Trembling, the blond took his phone from his pocket and obediently pulled up the chat history.
Jiang Mingxi set down the tin, took out his phone, and snapped a picture of the chat history the blond showed him.
Faint sounds came from outside.
Seeing Jiang Mingxi look down at his phone, the blond mustered his strength, shoved Jiang Mingxi away, scrambled up, and bolted outside.
Jiang Mingxi let him run for three seconds.
Then-
"Someone, catch the thief! Help! There's a thief! Call the police!"
Jiang Mingxi screamed his lungs out, scrambling to his feet and stumbling outside in pursuit.
The blond rushed headlong to the courtyard gate.
Outside.
Red and blue lights shone brightly.
Three police officers were about to enter.
The blond: !!!
He nearly fell apart on the spot.
Isn't your response time a little too fast?
Jiang Mingxi only just shouted to call the police.
And you're already here?
Dumbfounded and questioning his life, the blond instinctively turned to flee toward the neighboring courtyard.
An officer suddenly stepped forward and tackled him, pinning him to the ground.
During the scuffle.
Quite a few villagers and production crew members gathered around.
"What happened?" Zhao Jiayuan was the first to rush up to Jiang Mingxi. He looked him up and down, his gaze landing on Jiang Mingxi's arm. "You're hurt!"
Song Lan walked through the crowd into the courtyard, his gaze falling on the arm Zhao Jiayuan had lifted.
Blood ran down his arm.
The director saw Jiang Mingxi's bleeding arm too and nearly went mad with worry!
He had faithfully offered incense before filming began, and he hadn't even farted!
Why was his luck still so terrible?
Stamping his foot, the director hurried over to Jiang Mingxi. "What happened?"
Jiang Mingxi's face was deathly pale with "fright," and he trembled. "I was sleeping just fine when I suddenly heard something. I opened my eyes and saw him going through my suitcase."
Pinned to the ground, the blond craned his neck and roared, "Bullshit! When did I ever go through your suitcase?"
Jiang Mingxi gave a "frightened" shudder. "Then what were you here for?"
The blond's mouth hung open. "..."
He couldn't squeeze out so much as a fart.
He couldn't exactly say he had come to commit rape and failed!
Aaaaaah!
After struggling for a moment, the blond roared, "I didn't steal anything, but he fed me shit!"
