    Chapter 15: The 101st Time the Scumbag Cheated 15

    Yan Bai was satisfied now. With a smile, he half-heartedly said what was expected,

    "Is that so? What a pity!"

    Others chimed in,

    "He Zixuan went to the hospital yesterday too. He drank too much and had his stomach pumped—really went through it."

    "He dropped so much cash last night; he'll probably feel even worse when he sobers up today."

    Someone who usually disliked He Zixuan muttered under their breath,

    "Did you know? As soon as He Zixuan maxed out that card, his dad found out. After checking, he discovered it was all spent at a bar in one night. He was so furious he froze all his cards and even canceled his internship at the company."

    "Really? His family isn't that short on money, is it?"

    "Just because you have money doesn't mean you can blow it like that. Any father would be upset, right?"

    Yan Bai was amazed by how in the know this group was and couldn't help but remark,

    "You guys really know everything!"

    A few of them then zeroed in on him,

    "Are you and Ye Chen really serious?"

    Yan Bai glanced at them sideways,

    "So you can get the scoop and gossip about it to others?"

    They chuckled awkwardly,

    "True love fears no worldly judgment. Be brave and tell us!"

    Yan Bai scoffed,

    "Go on, get out of here. You're distracting me from studying!"

    He Zixuan spent two days in the hospital on an IV before he fully recovered.

    Afterward, he recalled the events of that night two days ago. One thing after another kept hitting him, leaving him unsure how to even process his thoughts.

    While he was shocked by Lin Yizhou's situation, he didn't really care much. Lin Yizhou was like an afternoon snack to him—something he could take or leave. If it was too troublesome, he'd skip it; if it was conveniently offered, he might indulge. He wasn't even as significant as a backup option.

    Instead, it was Yan Bai who had recaptured his serious attention.

    From that day on, He Zixuan's gaze kept following Yan Bai. Every day brought new discoveries, making him feel even more unable to let go. The feelings in his heart grew fiercely.

    Lin Yizhou reappeared two weeks later.

    His reputation is now ruined in your circle, and his body is really giving out on him.

    Although he sees himself as a bottom, that part doesn't work anymore, which really messes with his quality of life!

    Moreover, his treasured first time wasn't even with He Zixuan, which he finds utterly intolerable.

    This physical inadequacy he could endure; he could even play the fool to cope with the disgrace.

    But before being discharged from the hospital, he received devastating news that drove his obsession over the edge.

    Lin Yizhou had contracted HIV, clearly a result of that night.

    Goodness knows how wild Yue Xu got overseas—he turned out to be an HIV carrier.

    Now that he's cleared out without a second thought, what am I supposed to do?

    All of this stemmed from his obsession with He Zixuan, and he still hasn't gotten his hands on this man.

    How could he just let it go?

    So after recovering and leaving the hospital, he went to corner He Zixuan.

    He hated Yan Bai, but he hated He Zixuan even more.

    His last cry for help was to He Zixuan; he called him multiple times. They were only a few floors apart, yet He Zixuan didn't even pick up.

    If he had reached out to someone else back then, would things have been different?

    He Zixuan was startled when he saw Lin Yizhou. In just two weeks, Lin Yizhou had wasted away, appearing extremely gloomy, all trace of his old sweetness gone.

    Lin Yizhou stood before He Zixuan, his voice lifeless,

    "Why didn't you save me that day? I called you several times."

    "I was drunk that day."

    But Lin Yizhou wasn't having any of it,

    "You went upstairs, you saw me, you clearly knew I was drugged and out of it. Why didn't you save me?

    You just turned and walked away. How could you be so heartless?"

    He Zixuan paused, patiently explaining,

    "I was out of it at the time and ended up hospitalized afterward."

    Lin Yizhou showed no reaction to his words, continuing with his own,

    "I've liked you for three years. I'm not even a real man anymore because of you. I can forgive you for leaving me to die. Will you be with me?"

    He Zixuan looked at him with disgust,

    "I don't understand what you're saying. I never asked you to do anything. I don't like you, and we can't be together. The person I like is Yan Bai."

    Lin Yizhou burst into uncontrollable laughter, the sound filled with despair and hysteria,

    "You're still putting on an act even now. If you like Yan Bai, why did you cheat again and again?

    Do you think I don't know exactly what you are?

    "You're so filthy, you only deserve someone as filthy as me!"

    Lin Yizhou lunged at him, trying to kiss him. He Zixuan, caught completely off guard, didn't have time to react.

    He felt a sharp pain on his lips. He Zixuan, reacting a beat too late, shoved him away, wiping his mouth in disgust. There was blood on his hand. He Zixuan burned with anger and humiliation.

    "Are you insane? You actually bit me!"

    Lin Yizhou sprawled on the ground, but a triumphant smile broke across his face.

    "One little bite? That's nowhere near enough to pay you back!"

    He Zixuan glared at him viciously, not a trace of warmth in his expression.

    "Madman! Don't you ever come near me again!"

    After saying this, He Zixuan turned and left. Lin Yizhou's face, however, twisted into a sinister, triumphant smile.

    He absolutely would not tell He Zixuan now, giving him a chance to use post-exposure prophylaxis. He wanted He Zixuan to experience the same agony he was in, after some time had passed.

    Hadn't he already bitten He Zixuan? He'd most likely infected him.

    Lin Yizhou had just stood up when he was grabbed by several people—the Lin family's bodyguards, who had come for him.

    Lin Yizhou's father had only learned about his condition today and felt utterly humiliated.

    Fearing the news would leak and damage the Lin family's reputation, he sent people to seize Lin Yizhou on the spot, then confined him to a separate residence.

    He was not allowed to contact anyone, and not even a doctor was sent to provide him with care.

    After all, wasn't he beyond saving anyway?

    Lin Yizhou's parents thought this way and soon found psychological balance.

    And so, two years later, Lin Yizhou died, his body ravaged by sores. After death, he was hastily cremated, disappearing without a trace, as if he had never existed in this world.

    Coincidentally, Yue Xu abroad also died around the same time in an almost identical, painful manner.

    But all of this was yet to come.
