Join the ServerGu Qiuhang called room service: light side dishes, sea cucumber porridge, and a big bowl of chicken soup.
He Ting pushed the porridge aside in disgust. He didn’t like the fishy smell of sea cucumber, so he picked up a small bowl and drank the chicken soup instead.
Gu Qiuhang coaxed him to try the porridge, saying the chef here made it without any fishy taste and that it was very delicious. Half-believing, He Ting took a sip, only for the strong fishy smell to hit him straight away.
He pinched his nose, nearly gagging, then pressed his lips together and set the bowl down again, subtly pushing it farther away.
Gu Qiuhang watched him for a long time. He Ting remained unmoved, sipping his soup leisurely and eating small bites of side dishes, cheeks puffed as he chewed slowly.
Gu Qiuhang sighed, both sweetly and helplessly. In the past, when He Ting was picky, all it took was a cold glance from him and He Ting would obediently finish everything.
But now… even without seeing it, he knew his gaze must be warm and indulgent, completely lacking any intimidation.
While slowly eating his porridge, he began scheming and casually asked, “Have you used one before?”
He Ting blinked, his big eyes clear and innocent. “Used what?”
“A masturbation sleeve,” Gu Qiuhang said calmly.
He Ting choked on his soup, coughing until his face turned red, both embarrassed and annoyed, unable to speak for a while.
Suppressing a smile, Gu Qiuhang patted his back. Once he recovered, he asked again, “So, have you used one or not?”
Blushing deeply, tears clinging to his lashes from coughing, He Ting answered in a barely audible voice, “No… but Du An said it’s really good.”
Gu Qiuhang held back his laughter. “I have a few more questions.”
He Ting quickly waved his hands. “No talking during meals. Eat in silence, sleep in silence.”
Satisfied, Gu Qiuhang tilted his chin toward the porridge. “Then finish that bowl, and I won’t ask.”
Reluctantly, He Ting picked up the bowl, pinched his nose, and took a couple of sips. Only then did he realize, a bit too late, “Gu Qiuhang, isn’t this cheating?”
Gu Qiuhang raised a brow. “I call it a strategic detour.”
He Ting clicked his tongue and went back to pinching his nose. Seeing the strange smile on Gu Qiuhang’s face, he instinctively became alert. Gu Qiuhang said, “If you’re not convinced, you can ask me questions too. I’ll answer anything.”
He Ting thought about it seriously, then said, “I’d rather just drink the porridge.”
Pinching his nose, he finished the whole bowl and even showed the empty bowl to Gu Qiuhang.
Gu Qiuhang reached out to ruffle his hair. “Good boy. You’re so good… it makes me want to spoil you again. What should I do?”
As he spoke, he leaned in and gently bit the corner of his lips.
A blush spread across He Ting’s pale cheeks. His long lashes lowered, hiding his eyes. “I’m not asking for a reward.”
Gu Qiuhang kissed him again, his own ears turning red. “Kids like you always want rewards.”

That afternoon, they went to the police station to give statements. They were taken into separate interrogation rooms. He Ting handed over the recordings on his phone.
From beginning to end, he had recorded everything. Although some parts weren’t perfectly clear, the police technicians could restore them.
Gu Donghang and the others insisted it was just a game that went too far, but with the recordings, the entire sequence of events became clear.
When He Ting came out, Gu Qiuhang was already waiting in the lobby.
On the way there, He Ting had looked up the law online. Based on the legal system here, Gu Donghang and the others could face 3 to 10 years in prison.
He didn’t know what Gu Qiuhang thought about it, after all, Gu Donghang was his younger brother, so he didn’t bring it up.

Before returning to the Gu residence, He Ting wanted to visit Meng Ling in the hospital. But because of that phone call that had nearly dragged him into disaster, Gu Qiuhang was extremely disgusted with Meng Ling and didn’t even want to hear his name.
Clutching his phone, knuckles pale, He Ting hesitated. “Gu Qiuhang, I want to go see Zhang Xiaojing. Can you go back first?”
But then he thought about everything waiting at the Gu house and quickly changed his mind. “Actually… never mind. Let’s go back together.”
He Ting wasn’t good at hiding his thoughts. Gu Qiuhang saw right through him.
He bent down to fasten He Ting’s seatbelt, then used the motion to press him against the seat, his eyes dark. “Don’t lie to me again. I get hurt too. Whether it’s good or bad, I want you to tell me. I’ll face it with you.”
He Ting’s heart tightened. He reached up, wrapped his arms around Gu Qiuhang’s neck, and pulled him down into a kiss.
Gu Qiuhang’s lips were dry and warm, comforting to the touch. He Ting slipped out his tongue and slowly moistened them.
Gu Qiuhang’s breathing grew heavier. He quickly took control, pulling He Ting tightly into his arms.
His kiss was forceful and possessive, sweeping through every inch of his mouth until it tingled.
He Ting could barely breathe, his body going soft like water. He pushed weakly against him. “Gu Qiuhang… mm… you’re going to kill me…”
Gu Qiuhang released his lips, moving to nibble on his earlobe. He Ting greedily sucked in fresh air.
Gu Qiuhang’s hoarse voice carried a smile. “I haven’t even done anything yet, and you’re already dying?”
He Ting flushed with shame. Gu Qiuhang felt like a completely different person, his usual calm restraint gone. His words always made He Ting’s ears burn and heart race, yet also filled him with shy sweetness.
Trembling, He Ting said, “Gu Qiuhang, how can you be so bad… you know that’s not what I meant.”
A strong suck at his earlobe made him let out a soft sound.
Gu Qiuhang said in a low voice, “I can be much worse than this. Want to try?”
He Ting shrank back slightly, his voice trembling with a hint of tears. “Gu Qiuhang, you can’t bully me.”
Gu Qiuhang looked at him, both amused and helpless.
He Ting’s lips were moist and red, cheeks flushed, eyes hazy as he glared at him.
Gu Qiuhang’s heartbeat went out of rhythm. A dark, long-suppressed desire surfaced. He bit lightly at his lip. “This is already bullying? Then what about later?”
He Ting lowered his head like a timid quail, almost burying it in his chest.
Smiling, Gu Qiuhang asked softly, “So, can you tell me now, where do you want to go?”
