Go Be His Dog

That small handkerchief had already been stained with a few drops of blood.

Murong Xuan's blood.

His hands were trembling, his eyes panicked and afraid.

"Young Master Gu, I didn't mean to," Murong Xuan said, his voice shaking. "I-I didn't think I'd dirty your handkerchief. I can buy you another one!"

Gu Xiao looked expressionlessly at Murong Xuan before him. How ugly.

Even uglier than Lu Keyan.

Did this guy not know how to stand up?

Gu Xiao crouched down halfway. Murong Xuan looked up and saw the taut fabric of his suit trousers, along with a small stretch of exposed ankle.

Those sharply defined, bony contours made Murong Xuan's heart beat a little faster.

Could he wrap one hand around Gu Xiao's ankle?

So slender...

"What are you looking at?" Gu Xiao leisurely pulled on a black leather glove before reaching out to pat Murong Xuan's cheek. "You've bled so much you've dirtied the air. How do you plan to compensate me?"

Gu Xiao patted his cheek again and again. Murong Xuan swallowed with difficulty. "Young Master Gu, whatever you want me to do, I-I'll do it."

"Heh." Gu Xiao tugged at the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of mockery. "Why do you people always think I want you to do something? If I wanted you to die, would you do that too?"

Murong Xuan's expression froze.

He stared at Gu Xiao in disbelief.

He knew F4's rules of the game, but no matter what, things would never go so far as to cost someone their life.

But-but what if they did?

Where those chosen people had gone after dropping out, what they had done-he had no idea, nor had he ever cared.

Was it possible that some of them had been killed by F4...?

After admiring his shocked and terrified expression for a while, Gu Xiao's mood brightened considerably. He stood up, pulled off the glove, and tossed it straight onto Murong Xuan.

Murong Xuan hurriedly caught it.

"You're fairly obedient," Gu Xiao said unhurriedly. "Then do you know why I came looking for you?"

Murong Xuan desperately wanted to say, You didn't come looking for me. I came looking for you-

But he didn't want to die.

"Yes, yes!" Murong Xuan hurriedly said. "Because I set up the scholarship student and deliberately made him offend you!"

Gu Xiao asked, "Why did you do that?"

Murong Xuan's voice was still shaking. "B-because, because I didn't want him staying in my dorm anymore, so I wanted him to drop out."

How vile.

Over such a trivial thing, Gu Xiao thought. Murong Xuan clearly only needed to switch dorms or simply move out.

Yet he refused to do that. Not only did he want to force Lu Keyan to drop out, he also wanted to use them to ruin him.

Murong Xuan wasn't part of the harem of that person everyone adored. After Lu Keyan successfully seized power and his identity was exposed, this guy had both legs broken and crawled all the way from the dorm to the school gates.

Murong Xuan's legs were crippled for good.

Gu Xiao had no intention of saving him. He didn't have that much time on his hands.

He simply thought Murong Xuan was rather interesting too.

That whole "don't look down on a youth for being poor" routine was so boring.

He might as well add fuel to the fire.

Under that stare, Murong Xuan went rigid all over.

"Y-Young Master Gu, if you don't want to see me, I can drop out!"

Those words came with considerable difficulty for Murong Xuan.

This aristocratic academy wasn't somewhere just anyone could get into.

It was a symbol of status.

If he dropped out, he would never get another chance to squeeze his way into these circles.

"What, you think I'm forcing you to drop out?" Gu Xiao shook his head and sighed. "Am I that sort of person?"

For a moment, Murong Xuan didn't know how to answer.

He knew Gu Xiao was domineering and nasty, and countless people wanted to curry favor with him. But apart from the three at his side-F2, F3, and F4-not a single person was qualified to stand beside Gu Xiao.

"A-Xiao, you're about to scare the piss out of him," Feng Ji said with a chuckle. "If this place reeks of piss, I'm never coming back."

Murong Xuan's face flushed bright red, but he didn't dare talk back.

"Hey, you on the floor," Feng Ji said nastily. "Rein in your pheromones. They stink!"

Murong Xuan's pheromones smelled of cedar.

But at this aristocratic academy, alphas whose pheromones smelled of cedar were a dime a dozen.

After all, this damned school had so many rich people that spending a fortune to change the scent of their pheromones was hardly difficult.

Of course, they disdained doing that, and wouldn't do it either.

"S-sorry."

Only then did Murong Xuan realize he had been so frightened that he had nearly lost control of his pheromones.

"Go back and get along with Lu Keyan." Gu Xiao smiled at Murong Xuan. "Serve him properly. Understood?"

Murong Xuan looked up in terror, trying to tell whether Gu Xiao was joking.

But he couldn't tell.

Serve who?

Oh, right. That poor scholarship student, his roommate, was called Lu Keyan...

No matter how dissatisfied Murong Xuan was, he didn't dare make a sound.

What exactly had Lu Keyan done to catch Gu Xiao's eye?

"A-Xiao, you really know how to play!" Feng Ji even clapped in delight when he heard this. "Good, good, good. Interesting! Now that's fun!"

Fu Huai, however, frowned as he looked at the little bloodstain on the floor. "A-Xiao, why didn't you make him lick the blood off the floor?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Exactly. That's filthy." Feng Ji shook his head. "Should we call him back? That thing probably hasn't gone far."

Gu Xiao simply pulled off his tank top and tossed it onto the floor, covering the bloodstain.

"Disgusting," Gu Xiao said coldly. "If you want to lick it so badly, do it yourselves."

Feng Ji fell silent.

Fu Huai looked at Gu Xiao too.

"Why take off your tank top?" Fu Huai pushed up his glasses, narrowing his eyes slightly as the tip of his tongue pressed against the roof of his mouth. "A-Xiao, you'll get cold."

Feng Ji looked away and stared at the tank top on the floor, making a couple of affirmative noises. "A-Xiao, that brat Ji Chuan has probably gotten drunk in some tender embrace. I'll go bring him back!"

With that, Feng Ji jogged off.

Watching Feng Ji's retreating figure, Fu Huai scoffed and said cryptically, "What's he getting shy about?"

Fu Huai's gaze returned to Gu Xiao.

"A-Xiao, your muscles seem firmer," Fu Huai said with a smile. "And you're getting paler."

He had indeed gotten much paler.

Perhaps because he had spent the whole winter cooped up indoors, Gu Xiao's skin seemed to have gone from a warm white to a cool white.

Indoors, he was so pale he practically glowed.

Gu Xiao gave Fu Huai a puzzled look, not understanding what he was remarking on.

He quickly took off his trousers, revealing a pair of swimming trunks.

With a splash, Gu Xiao jumped into the pool.

Fu Huai rubbed between his brows and silently cursed himself.

A-Xiao was his brother, and a powerful alpha at that.

What the hell was he thinking?

But it wasn't just him-

Fu Huai knew that even Feng Ji blushed around A-Xiao.

And Ji Chuan...

Before that guy knew A-Xiao was an alpha, he had been wildly infatuated with him for a while.

After learning that A-Xiao was not only a member of the Gu family but also an alpha, he had abandoned the idea.

But everyone Ji Chuan had hooked up with afterward had been an alpha.

Ji Chuan hadn't shown up these past few days because A-Xiao's rut was approaching, too.

Fu Huai's eyes gradually darkened.

A-Xiao really was becoming more and more alluring. If he didn't have his identity and standing, he probably would have long since...

Fu Huai pushed up his glasses again and looked at the person in the pool.

It didn't matter.

No matter how high above everyone someone stood, Fu Huai thought, they could still plummet a thousand fathoms...
