KfNugjLTQcuxwNbHowever, the pain in his lower body was unbearable, making it impossible to find a comfortable position. So he decided to lie on his stomach, called for the maidservants to bring medicine, and while cursing, applied the ointment himself.roekDAKaQGBHUvbHQgMgHWevuuHIAU

DdfnuLWhVEPURzMThroughout his short life, he had been constantly making mistakes and causing trouble, but no matter what he did, he could always leave with a carefree shake of his sleeve, as there was always someone to clean up after him.RlIGKgXnfemRosJVpadYiCNQkloOOF

IuYkMedmQpXkntRNever had he encountered someone like Huai En, who thwarted him at every turn and left him with no way to express his grievances. Back then, when he saw Huai En covered in wounds, why had he softened? He should have taken advantage of Huai En’s weakened state and thoroughly dominated him. Instead, he had only pitied him. Did Huai En ever pity him?muuRVVzHWDstYGCqkCPnCuEoRKSXGZ

OuybGwpogaazoyHMoreover, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Huai En must have feelings for him, just too shy to admit it. This made Xiao Bao a bit smug. He had always been successful with women, and now he found he was equally adept with men. Huai En always lost his composure when he saw his buttocks. What did that indicate? At the very least, it indicated that Huai En liked his butt!YnhLoFKLDGWScXMEMLcbAMPopMmvyp

HethyNMXaxErKnEHe reasoned that when he first noticed Huai En, it was his face that attracted him. Even now, he didn’t find anything else particularly appealing about Huai En. His figure wasn’t great, his temperament was foul, he was selfish to the point of shamelessness, his thought process was odd, and he had a violent streak. Yet, somehow, the more he liked him, the more he liked everything about him. So, this attraction had inertia.cVaNpqlDPkvNZmRrBticuZYHCxayxJ
SPvKEbsUklTrtBxqmCJykSaLGBqCiehooQHrAFJVqOSDc
YPGDLFOKQqKSaguPerhaps Huai En currently only fancied his butt. Well, men were all the same when driven by desire. But who knew? Maybe, as time passed, Huai En would come to like him as a person too.pKKcTInAOicOPCefSCrIjfVKfTIqso
cARXuSvbPwLlIHDwodxBVOikpJTZpVOzhzjtKMoTxGyiG
nPkkIKGIATaIVBhAt first, he liked Huai En, but Huai En didn’t like him. It must have been because Huai En’s face was visible while his own butt was covered.PyjbTzwUwWCQOPBMKHEmsWVjNXrjPr

uMSyqgQqPSspjnfThinking this, Xiao Bao felt a bit giddy. But then he had another thought. If he had to rely on this unconventional approach, wouldn’t he have to keep offering his butt? And even if they did end up together, he wouldn’t have any chance to turn the tables.ALjyVsDhwSdAgSsYXzFoEPmBBydhJC

fJQeONahtyxbdXHHe should treat Huai En well on one hand while keeping him at a distance. When the time was right, he could seize the opportunity to demand to be the top. Once he succeeded once, the path would be smooth in the future. Besides, what kind of skill did Huai En have? He just knew how to pound mercilessly all night long, making Xiao Bao ache terribly. For the sake of his future happiness, he had to demonstrate the correct way at least once.SloHXgJajfvzfLbkQGbooxlObWVHYg

WSANOOanYFstbCMThe maidservant felt a bit wronged, her lips quivering, almost on the verge of tears. She had been serving the young master for over three years, and he had always spoken kindly and with a smile. This was the first time he had raised his voice at her. But then she thought, it must be because the young master was uncomfortable due to his hemorrhoids. This was serious.VUkXtwTaxrgQnphaLMHwraEgbLrqrX

LsZTrqMGEvTvdnzMadam Jin was planning to make a fuss again, but Xiao Bao sternly stopped her. On second thought, Madam Jin realized that her son was already a grown man, and having a room full of people watching his behind was indeed inappropriate. Moreover, hemorrhoids weren’t a big deal, so she accepted that Xiao Bao would handle it himself.URFsPtTkwEVVKXKrqHpukeXzjloZly

afdEFMeyzDdgOvUXiao Bao, after enduring the pain, finally resolved the issue and felt famished. Ever since he met Huai En, his body and mind had been subjected to inhumane torture, causing him to lose a significant amount of weight in a short time. Xiao Bao was actually very satisfied with his physique. Why? Because it displayed wealth! When he went out with his father, those business associates who had dealings with them all had similar physiques. A group of people sitting together with foreheads practically labeled “I am rich”—what a status symbol. Men like Huai En with their thin arms and legs—what was attractive about that?BaclYjokxalrYtzZJzTAFYWdkoQQdp

WWfeXIxBDptBFCwIn reality, this line of reasoning was something Xiao Bao had invented to comfort himself during his teenage years when he was insanely jealous of Su Yin’s slender and well-defined physique. Over the years, he had continuously hypnotized himself with this notion, and it had been quite effective. Even Zhao Cai and Jin Bao believed it.OUlZdaJRxfYJnofYgneifXVhpaMoHZ
EPHVtGenmKPjGvrqqCivNyutvwJEoGhVflGTqTgErBMpd
AFeDIFolYWkLwIHSo now, feeling hungry and having lost weight, he naturally needed to eat more to regain his former glory. Zhao Cai timely mentioned the softshell turtle they had yet to stew. Xiao Bao felt quite gratified and also thought that Huai En was the one who actually needed it. So he instructed Zhao Cai to stew an extra one and send it to Huai En. Zhao Cai was quite displeased, thinking it was utterly spineless of Xiao Bao to still be trying to please Huai En at such a time.NrbKOfGAzaLaHniJzTjibZzVFczeWm

OgVMtewsOznyHjNYou’re really underestimating Young Master Jin. Xiao Bao never intended to nourish him; with his stamina, does he really need it? If he takes any more, he’ll turn into a turtle demon. Xiao Bao had only one goal: to disgust him.jUmUuyYZHwILglNtYojnXajgbLlNAW
hPItIIZjasjGnMXTWMQFmgIvvBTnsBDdnixCZPOYwFUbQ
rknbtHhlAoErnjLIs Young Master Jin someone who can be bullied easily? Even if I like you, you can’t go too far. This back-and-forth, tormenting me like this—if Su Yin were here, I’d have him tie up Huai En and let me have my way. This time, I wouldn’t go easy. Unfortunately, Su Yin isn’t here… In any case, if you think you can make Jin Xiao Bao meekly accept everything like a little wife, think again. I hold grudges!BPTzvmkXNpXwwWNXWPxyLApDmowhRJ

FVbVvhjyjuJzkOXJust past midnight, as the watchman’s signal faded, a white figure broke through the window. Xiao Bao, unable to sleep after resting for too long, was lying in bed fantasizing about where to start devouring Huai En. Suddenly, something appeared out of thin air, scaring his slightly aroused ‘little brother’ into immediate submission.TLAvwvZMBwSPOoKkYJUXAkQBlNrCEr

GogUujzQnibyzCeThe white figure, backlit by the moon, had a blurred face and long hair that moved without wind, standing motionless by his bed. Xiao Bao’s throat tightened, rendering him unable to shout. He could only manage a trembling “G-ghost… ghost…” while clutching his blanket and shrinking into the corner.DwwNxmWgIPICegNDtWgjCEJmSeTrFm

htFYfEXIEdtJFUKThis was probably the most Huai En had ever spoken since Xiao Bao met him, and it nearly made Xiao Bao cough up blood. He hadn’t realized this guy was so curious. Hearing Huai En’s relentless questions, Xiao Bao angrily threw off the blanket, “Your grandpa Jin would never be impotent! Your grandpa Jin is as vigorous as a dragon. If you keep cursing me, you’ll be the one who’s impotent first!” He met Huai En’s eyes, only to see a playful glint in them. Xiao Bao instantly knew he’d been tricked.pTwqGkfFvimoRHyDJImdVkdIOdiLRI
