Chapter 83: Fatal! The Psychopath Male Lead Only Wants Forced Love [39]

Bai Yan didn't know how long had passed, nor how many rounds he'd endured.

What he hadn't expected was that the things he'd seen at the hotel back then—no use for them at the time—all got used on him this time.

Bai Yan figured his gut reaction to those things back then—rejecting them without even knowing what they were for—had been totally justified.

Especially when they were used on him. That feeling was just...

Gu Yu at last took off the black cloth over his eyes and pulled him into his arms.

Bai Yan leaned against him weakly, his eyes sweeping the room from the corner of his vision.

The place looked almost exactly like his original room.

But he knew this wasn't the same room.

Clearly, Gu Yu had put a lot of work into this, but there's no way this was done in a single night.

Gu Yu had set up this room way in advance—it wasn't the first time he'd thought about locking Bai Yan up.

Bai Yan didn't have the energy to overthink it, but he got it now.

Lin Zhibai's thing was just the trigger. Even without it, Gu Yu would've done this sooner or later.

"Ah Yan..."

Gu Yu's tone was gentle yet unapologetically unhinged. He reached up and ruffled Bai Yan's hair, the move intimate.

"Let's stay like this forever, okay? Just stay by my side. Even if we never get married or sign papers, I don't care. Even if you like someone else, I don't care."

"As long as you're mine, as long as you never leave, nothing else matters."

Gu Yu's voice was soft—impossible to tell whether he was speaking to Bai Yan or to himself.

Bai Yan wanted to say something, but his throat was so dry he didn't even want to try.

He didn't even have the strength to comfort Gu Yu...

Even though he'd scored way more fortune this time than ever before, Bai Yan still felt a spike of irritation.

Gu Yu was probably sure Bai Yan couldn't even get out of bed in this state, so he'd already taken off the restraints on his wrists and ankles.

He suddenly wanted to kick Gu Yu off the bed, but he really didn't have the strength, so he gave up and just laid his arm over Gu Yu's waist.

Using just about every bit of strength he had left.

Bai Yan bit down hard on Gu Yu's shoulder, leaving a mark, blood spreading across his teeth and lips.

Gu Yu let out a muffled grunt, then a low chuckle—clearly in a way better mood.

He held Bai Yan, his voice going soft as he coaxed him.

"Ah Yan, be good. You know I like you and can't stand to hurt you. As long as you behave, I won't go too far."

"...Yu... I want... water..."

Bai Yan spoke softly. He looked far too much like a bullied kitten right now—pitiful and wronged.

It made you want to both cradle him in your hands and mess with him relentlessly.

Gu Yu's heart melted at the sight of Bai Yan like this. He turned over, got out of bed, threw on some clothes, and went to get him some water.

The second the door closed, Bai Yan didn't hesitate—he yanked the blanket over himself and burrowed all the way under.

When Gu Yu returned, he saw a big lump under the covers.

He stopped mid-step, a thought popping into his head.

Bai Yan was sulking.

Gu Yu pressed his lips together, a flicker of amusement rising in his eyes.

It was rare to see Bai Yan like this, but it made him seem even more well-behaved.

"Ah Yan, be good. Come out and drink some water first. I'll go make you something to eat—what do you want?"

Gu Yu coaxed softly, setting the water on the nightstand. He half-hoisted the bundled-up lump, pulling back the blanket to reveal Bai Yan's head.

Bai Yan's lashes drooped as he let Gu Yu support him and help him drink.

The water did soothe his throat a little, but he still didn't want to talk. He simply waited for Gu Yu to set the cup down, then quietly pulled the blanket back over himself and burrowed back under.

Gu Yu had no choice but to go make food first.

Only after confirming he was gone did Bai Yan poke his head out. A dark glint flickered in his eyes as he started reaching out to 717.

[717, how's Gu Yu's status now? Is his corruption value still high?]

He'd run himself ragged, and judging by Gu Yu's attitude just now, his corruption value should have dropped at least a bit, right?

Bai Yan felt a bit sulky thinking about it. Perhaps he shouldn't have been soft from the start—he should have followed his original plan and set that fire.

Either burn Gu Yu to death, or use that opportunity to fake his own death and secretly lock Gu Yu up.

That way, at least he'd be the one in control.

Not like now, where he was the one locked up and taken.

But Gu Yu had acted so obedient in front of him—so restrained and controlled—that he'd forgotten this man was a madman from start to finish.

[The corruption value is under control, but it's still very high. Big Shot, you need to keep it together.]

717 let out a long sigh as he said this. He'd originally thought he was about to head to the next world, even prepared for it.

He never expected that after being forcibly offline for thirty-two hours, Bai Yan had actually managed to keep Gu Yu in check.

As for what methods were used and what it cost...

717 decided that wasn't something he needed to know.

Especially since Bai Yan still had to wrap himself in the blanket just to communicate with him—otherwise, all he'd see was a pixelated mess again...

He didn't have to wonder what had happened during those thirty-two hours he was forcibly offline.

[I remember you said before that you'd reported Gu Yu's situation to the higher-ups. So, are your bosses not planning to come handle this?]

Bai Yan suddenly asked, and 717 froze for a moment.

[Yeah, it's been this long and the higher-ups still haven't gotten back to me. Weird—even for a Novice System, this shouldn't be happening.]

717 couldn't help mumbling to himself. The request had clearly been sent up, so why no response from above?

[But the plot's already a total mess, and Gu Yu's been off from the very beginning.]

[Boss, don't worry—even if something's wrong, it won't come back on us.]

717 scratched his head. Since the higher-ups hadn't responded, there wasn't much he could do.

He checked the current mission progress...

Well, the plot was so wrecked now he couldn't even see the mission progress bar anymore.

But that hidden mission—the one to play matchmaker for those two—was already done.

This world wasn't half bad, after all.

With that, 717 stopped worrying and even thought they were doing pretty well.

[Forget all that. The male lead in this world is off his rocker. How about we just bail now, while we still can?]

717 blinked, suggesting. A dark glint flashed in Bai Yan's eyes as he refused without a second thought.

[No. Didn't you say his corruption value's still sky-high? If I just left now, he'd probably lose it.]

Bai Yan shut his eyes, a faint smile tugging at the corners of his lips.

At that moment, Bai Yan lay quietly in bed—pale-skinned, with messy, soft hair, the corners of his eyes slightly red, and a gentle smile. He looked almost angelic.

Even 717 felt that way, gazing at Bai Yan with watery eyes.

[Boss, you're too good. Even now, you're still thinking about him...]

Bai Yan opened his eyes again, his expression already composed, and answered with a soft smile.

[After all, Gu Yu's the male lead.]

And as for him—he was the villain.

Gu Yu had done this to him, and he hadn't gotten even yet. How could he leave now...
