Lin Xu’s heart skipped a beat, and he nearly opened his eyes.
Fortunately, his rationality kept him in check.
He kept his eyes tightly shut, forcing himself to stay still.
The darkness heightened his senses, and he could clearly feel Song Chuyi lifting the blanket just enough to slip in.
A chill crept in from outside.
He moved even closer, almost pressing down on him.
Lin Xu had no idea what Song Chuyi was up to, and his mind raced with possibilities.
Then he felt a soft hand gently press against his stomach.
Lin Xu struggled to control his breathing, nearly opening his eyes.
Thankfully, the last shred of his rationality pulled him back.
He forced himself to keep his breathing steady, not letting it change.
At that moment, the soft hand touched a place it shouldn’t have.
Song Chuyi’s low murmur reached his ears.
“Soft.”
He even gave it a pat.
“Looks like it’s really useless.”
Lin Xu’s mind went blank.
After confirming that the "useless" label was accurate, Song Chuyi finally pulled his hand back, satisfied.
It seemed like this body wouldn’t have to endure as much strain.
Satisfied, he smiled, tucked the blanket around Lin Xu, and hummed a little tune as he left.
As the door clicked shut, Lin Xu opened his eyes.
He couldn’t help but sneer, “Little pervert!”
In his past life, no matter how despicable he was, Song Chuyi had never laid a hand on him.
He knew that much, at least.
In his past life, Song Chuyi preferred women, but he himself was impotent, and the Song family had forced him into this marriage for superstitious reasons.
Song Chuyi hated him, humiliating him with words, and in the end, simply watched him die from electrocution without lifting a finger.
He didn’t even attempt to save him, finding men repulsive.
But after being reborn, Song Chuyi not only casually patted and hit him, but also took advantage of him while he was asleep…
Thinking of the insulting words from earlier, Lin Xu’s expression darkened further.
Song Chuyi can't even do it himself, so why is he saying I can't either?
Lin Xu took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself, and pulled the blanket back up, ready to try sleeping again.
But when he closed his eyes, all he could hear was Song Chuyi's soft, murmuring voice replaying in his head.
"Useless." "Useless."
Useless!
With a grim expression, he sat up and struggled to get dressed before settling into his wheelchair.
It was already 4 a.m., and Song Chuyi was still awake.
Lin Xu wheeled himself out to the courtyard.
The sky was just starting to lighten, with only a single dim light illuminating the courtyard.
Song Chuyi had built a small fire, with a ring of sweet potatoes surrounding it.
The sweet potatoes were huge, even larger than Song Chuyi's hands.
The firewood crackled and sparked, sending embers onto his pants, which he quickly brushed off.
Nearby, there was a table with a few disposable cups on it.
At that moment, Song Chuyi was focused on mixing some powder with hot water, and the air was faintly sweet from the aroma.
So engrossed, he didn’t notice Lin Xu watching from behind.
Lin Xu stared at him, a question forming in his mind.
Has Song Chuyi even slept?
He thought back carefully and realized that since his rebirth, he hadn’t actually seen Song Chuyi sleep.
But maybe he had slept, and Lin Xu just didn’t know.
Lin Xu kept quiet, not wanting to disturb Song Chuyi.
Time passed slowly, and it wasn’t until the first ray of sunlight touched Song Chuyi that Lin Xu suddenly realized…
He had been staring at Song Chuyi for so long!
Song Chuyi stretched lazily.
Lin Xu quickly wheeled himself out of sight.
Song Chuyi didn’t notice the slight movement behind him, busy pouring the prepared milk tea into containers.
He also packed all the roasted sweet potatoes into a bag.
Then he grabbed a prepared basket and packed everything inside, glancing back at Lin Xu’s bedroom.
Muttering to himself, he headed toward the large iron gate.
After he left, Lin Xu quietly followed in his wheelchair.
After getting back yesterday, he upgraded the wheelchair's smart navigation system, making the downhill trip a lot smoother today.
Despite the noise, he was far enough from Song Chuyi that he hadn't been spotted.
Lin Xu watched as Song Chuyi carried the basket out to the edge of the residential area.
Song Chuyi found a spot to sit and slowly dug into his milk tea and sweet potato.
Peeling off the charred skin revealed the bright orange flesh inside.
Taking a bite, it was soft, sweet, and fragrant, still warm and steamy.
The milk tea beside him smelled so sweet that passersby couldn't help but glance over.
Finally, a kid couldn't resist and approached to say something.
Lin Xu saw Song Chuyi hand over a cup of milk tea and a sweet potato to the kid, who then pulled out a one-yuan note from his pocket and handed it over.
Song Chuyi smiled and ruffled the kid's hair.
Early in the morning, the path wasn't too crowded, mostly with kids heading to school.
Seeing what Song Chuyi was doing, more kids came up to ask for some.
The basket of sweet potatoes and milk tea was quickly snatched up by the kids, leaving Song Chuyi with a handful of crumpled one-yuan notes.
After wrapping up, he stood up and walked straight toward Lin Xu.
Lin Xu tensed up, trying to steer the wheelchair away, but Song Chuyi called out to him.
"Lin Xu, I see you."
Lin Xu froze, giving up on the idea of escaping.
Song Chuyi jogged over, still holding the half-finished milk tea and half-eaten sweet potato.
He stopped in front of Lin Xu, not asking why he'd been following him, and instead offered the sweet potato.
"Want some?"
Lin Xu pursed his lips and didn't take the sweet potato.
"What's your deal?"
"Hmm?" Song Chuyi tilted his head, "What do you mean?"
"Those sweet potatoes are worth ten bucks each, but you only charged the kids one dollar."
"I just wanted to do something," Song Chuyi said, lowering his head and staring at his feet, "It just feels like things shouldn't be this way."
This world shouldn't be like this.
Lin Xu sneered, "Song Chuyi, what kind of charity are you playing at? Do you really think they'll be grateful just because you're selling it to them cheap?"
Song Chuyi gave him a puzzled look, "I didn't expect them to be grateful."
"I'm not just being nice," Song Chuyi poked Lin Xu's cheek, "I'm building a customer base for my future milk tea shop. Get it?"
"I've got a goal," he grinned, "To open the biggest milk tea chain in the world!"
"Got nothing better to do?" Lin Xu asked.
"Yeah," Song Chuyi replied confidently, "You sleep all day and never hang out with me, so of course, I'm bored."
Lin Xu: ...
