Ch 20 - Second Generation Ancestor x Illegitimate Child: Caught You Again
When he questioned Wu Qiu, Lin Sui stayed away from the chauffeur, Xiao Chen.
He asked about Wu Qiuâs circumstances, and asked what he could do.
Wu Qiu answered: âI can play with computers and see a lot of secrets.â
Wu Qiu was now only 15 years old, he didnât hide his thoughts at all and didnât beat around the bush, his answers were very clear.
He even gave Lin Sui a demonstration on the spot, showing him how to crack his computer, plant seeds in it, and how to follow the tentacles across the internet and reach tens of thousands of other ends.
He certainly had an astonishing gift, even without receiving systematic study, the things he displayed left many people in the dust.
Lin Sui arranged for him to go with Gao Jing, and to let Gao Jing and the others look after him. If used well, Wu Qiu would be of enormous help.
He even especially invited respected philosophy and law teachers for Wu Qiu, and asked them to constantly spread content about abiding by discipline, the law, and being hard-working, as well as about the concept of gratitude.
Because the talented young hacker had a very shallow knowledge of the law in the original plot, he roamed about unscrupulously in the grey areas, then he was locked away in a juvenile detention centre and even became a key target for surveillance. It wasnât until many years later that he met his own Bo Le1, Yan Qin, and learnt how to conduct himself from him.
Lin Sui wanted to teach him in advance, he didnât want to have a hidden danger buried in his territory.
Fortunately, Wu Qiu was very proactive and was very interested and enthusiastic about learning new knowledge when he didnât have to worry about food or clothing, as for other areas such as ethics and law, it seemed like he was hearing scriptures, but he was also honestly listening.
Lin Sui would occasionally receive the news he sent, but he wouldnât follow them too closely, after all, Lin Sui had to pay attention to too many things and this was just one of them, which was insignificant.
Lin Sui usually let himself live within a controlled limit so as to not become too exhausted, but sometimes there would be unexpected things, like having to stay inside the lab for several days, which usually required him to consume a large amount of mental energy.
As he left the lab, Lin Sui sat in the car, tiredly pinching the space between his eyebrows.
Compared to studying data, playing with capital was still more interesting.
Xiao Chenâs driving was very steady, and the temperature inside car was appropriate, so he slowly closed his eyes.
When Lin Sui suddenly opened his eyes, there was not a sound to be heard outside the window, and the shadows of the trees were jagged; it was the view at the doorway of the house.
He assumed that Xiao Chen didnât dare wake him after he fell asleep, so he let him rest like this.
Lin Sui straightened up and was preparing to get down from the car when he sensed something wrong.
He looked at Xiao Chen sitting on the front row and asked: âHow long was I asleep?â
âYoung master, approximately twenty minutes.â
Lin Sui nodded, pushed open the car door, and got out.
Lin Sui asked the System: [Did he come?]
The System didnât answer, but based on itâs nature, itâs silence was undoubtedly the answer.
Lin Suiâs eyes were filled with delight, and even his weariness diminished.
[He came.]
This time it was a certain declaration.
The System was bewildered: [How did you know?]
Lin Sui had clearly been deeply asleep at that time, and he had not woken by the time Yan Qin left, so how could he know?
[I sensed itâŠ.. Did he do anything?]
Lin Sui knew Yan Qinâs scent too well, it was not a superficial scent like perfume. He had been in his arms, entangled with him, for hundreds of years, how could he not remember his smell and the warmth of his body?
The System originally didnât want to tell him for fear that he would be smug again, but given the warning about Lin Suiâs past in the cultivation world, it still answered reluctantly.
[Watched you sleep.]
âŠ..Just that?
Lin Sui questioned it a little incredulously: [He just watched me sleep?]
The System answered: [Yeah, he didnât even touch you, just got in the car and watched you for a while, then took a picture of your sleeping face, and just left.]
Lin Sui didnât know whether he should look angry or amused.
Yan Qin had even done things like planting people around him, but in the end that was all he did, not even touching him. He really was a good person, no different from his previous life.
In the previous world, Lin Sui really hadnât been fixated on Yan Qinâs dao bone. He had been inquiring about other ways in which he could free himself from that constitution, and found legends about a place where one could cultivate an Immaculate2Â body.
That place was an island floating above the sea, and one had to go through one challenge after another to reach it. Lin Sui found the key formation core, hurriedly left Yan Qin a message, and stepped in. The formation core would fluctuate, so there might not have been a next time if he missed it.
He couldnât tell the date in the cultivation world, so he didnât know how long he stayed in there for.
One day, the spirit birds were chatting about a strange sword cultivator who had broken through ten thousand formations and arrived here, not to reach the spiritual treasures in the mountain, nor for the Immaculate body, but only to look for a while at the other cultivator in the cold pool from a distance and then leave.
Lin Sui knew who that person was when he heard about it, but he didnât leave and continued cultivating, completely focused, but ultimately still failed. He succeeded in cultivating the Immaculate body, but he was still innately a human cauldron.
At that time he was beside himself, Yan Qin held him and soothed him, saying there was still a way.
The sea breeze carried a strong, bone-chilling cold, but Yan Qin protected him well.
Yan Qin, ah, Yan Qin, Lin Sui laughed in a low voice, a light playing across his eyes.
The System knew he might want to do something, and for a time it didnât know if it should be worried for itself or for the Son of Fortune.
Yan Qin found out from Xiao Chen that Lin Sui had been returning home drunk in the last few days, staggering home after attending all kinds of parties and dinners.
When he heard the news, Yan Qin couldnât help but tightly wrinkle his eyebrows.
After quickly handling all of the necessary work in the country and compressing his time, he once again waited for that car to arrive.
The blue Bugatti briefly stopped at the intersection, like a ghost travelling along the dense, inky night.
The partition screen inside car had been raised earlier on, separating the front and the back space of the car.
Yan Qin looked at the dunk young man leaning against the seat, the light flush on his face seemed just like rouge, making his beautiful face all the more glowing.
The black leather seat contrasted against the fair palms drooping on top of it, their clear, blue green veins looking like high-quality jade.
Afraid he would wake Lin Sui, Yan Qin quietly and wantonly stared at his settled-on treasure like an animal blending into the shadows.
With this kind of infatuated gaze, Yan Qin couldnât help but lean closer.
From the young man came the fragrant scent of red wine mixed together with the smell of his body, just like ripened grapes overflowing with juice.
He suppressed the urge to pluck them, like a traveller hoping to quench his thirst by thinking of plums.
The young manâs eyelashes trembled lightly, and Yan Qinâs heart tightened subconsciously, wanting to escape, but he was fixed in place by the young manâs moist eyes.
He didnât seem to be sober, his eyes carrying a blur of confusion.
He didnât seem surprised to see him, only softly clicking his tongue and saying: âI actually dreamt about you.â
His voice had a lazy drunkenness in it, passing though his eardrums and scratching at Yan Qinâs heart.
This seemed like an exceptionally good pretext to give him an opportunity to exploit his despicable love, so Yan Qin didnât become agitated, and just stared at the person he had been yearning for.
âYouâve really grown so much.â
Slender fingers brushed past the manâs heroic face, softly and gracefully.
Yan Qinâs appearance had indeed matured more than the young manâs, and this steady and reserved youthful look was infinitely closer to the Yan Qin in Lin Suiâs memories.
The young man seemed to want to take a better look at the person in his dreams, so he flexed his legs, pressed his palms against the manâs shoulders, and straddled him.
âTo actually dream of a puppy who ran awayâŠ..â
The young man muttered, seemingly dissatisfied.
With him sitting on his body, Yan Qin didnât dare to move for fear of disturbing this beautiful dream.
Lin Sui had been in a celebrity party today, he was wearing a western suit, but his suit jacket had long since been thrown aside by him.
He seemed to feel a little uncomfortable, his fingers rested on his neck tie, tugging at it somewhat impatiently, and removing it from his neck after having loosened it.
The alcohol had wrapped the young manâs body in red, even his collarbone was flushed pink.
Yan Qinâs eyes steadily darkened, filling with a dense and impermeable dangerous aura.
The young man leaning against his body seemed not to sense it, he grabbed both of Yan Qinâs hands and placed them in front of him, then looped an embroidered black tie around the manâs wrists.
As the fabric was pulled little by little, the gap between them shrunk until they were completely immobilised.
âCaught you again.â
The young manâs raised brows were filled with waning interest, even looking somewhat sleepy.
Those rippling eyes didnât have to be looking down on him to carry an aloof grace, and even when drunk they were filled with the arrogance of an absolute champion.
Even if there had been no rope in his hands, he made one be perfectly willing to put their necks in his hands and be his domesticated dog.
