Dressed as a Shady Villain’s Marriage PartnerCh67 - Studying

Yu Baihan embraced Lu Huan, but there was no response for a while. Only the rapid beating of the other’s heart could be felt against his own body.

He leaned back slightly and gazed at Lu Huan. qzdB4D

He noticed that Lu Huan’s face and neck were flushed, and under the surge of desire, his youthful reaction was quite alluring.

Yu Baihan inhaled shakily, his legs brushing against Lu Huan once more as he looked at him with eager eyes. “Aren’t you going to give it to me?”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

After a brief pause, those soft lips met his. “No.”

Lu Huan exhaled with a low, heated tone. He kissed Yu Baihan, but his eyes seemed hesitant to look down, and he added, “No.” U9hQ6w

Was that a yes, then?

Yu Baihan immediately hooked his arms around Lu Huan’s shoulders, raising both legs.

But his palm was still injured.

Lu Huan quickly reached out and held him.

P0LW2E

His touch was gentle and tender, hesitating at first before drawing Yu Baihan into his embrace and kissing him passionately.

“Hmm…” Yu Baihan wrapped his arms around Lu Huan’s neck, accepting the warm and intimate kiss.

He noticed that Lu Huan seemed to prefer the view from the front.

While kissing, he suddenly rolled over, turning upside down. Lu Huan pressed him onto the bed, continuing to kiss him. Soafpj

His back met the smooth, soft mattress, while the front of his body felt as hot as molten iron.

Yu Baihan rubbed against Lu Huan’s clothing.

After a moment, he released his grip and leaned back on the bed, somewhat shyly. “Are you going to do it now?”

Oops, that was fast. Xk9VzD

Lu Huan stopped his movements and looked down from above. His shirt was torn by Yu Baihan, and he was in a rather compromising state below.

His Adam’s apple bobbed. “Not yet.”

Yu Baihan opened his eyes wide. “Huh?”

He was aflame, and he reached out to touch Lu Huan, looking a bit dissatisfied. “Why not?” dDw0Yu

“You still have injuries on your hands,” Lu Huan explained, holding him down. “And the exams are in ten days… it’s too risky to be reckless.”

Yu Baihan fell silent for a moment. “Oh, the exams.”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

A moment later, his enthusiasm returned. “I can only play when I’m full.”

Lu Huan’s eyes deepened as he stared at him intently. FLkTWm

Yu Baihan wondered if he had said something wrong.

A hand suddenly brushed his lips. “Uh…!”

Lu Huan lowered his gaze. “Is it intentional?”

Looking up at him with innocent eyes, Yu Baihan appeared as though he had no clue about his words. y1mANi

Lu Huan was burning with desire and took a deep breath. “You’re always teasing me.”

This time, Yu Baihan understood.

He reached out and pushed the blame back. “Clearly, you started it.”

Lu Huan questioned, “And who made me do that?” Df2sqn

Yu Baihan licked his moist lips and blushed. “It’s your fault.”

After pondering for a few seconds, he guessed the meaning behind Lu Huan’s words and asked with a flushed face, “So, everything will be fine after the exams?”

Lu Huan’s face turned even redder. “Yes.”

Yu Baihan counted the days eagerly in his mind. It wouldn’t be long now. 0dJXcq

He refocused his thoughts and poked Lu Huan. “What about now?”

Lu Huan replied, “Now.”

The two gazed at each other for a few seconds.

Lu Huan leaned in for a kiss. Yu Baihan was about to lift his chin and lean forward when his legs were suddenly lifted. gAQH1

He blinked in surprise.

Viewed from above, Lu Huan seemed to be contemplating something under his gaze. He carefully examined Yu Baihan’s expression and tapped his fingertips, as if confirming, “Is this… acceptable?”

Yu Baihan’s realization hit a moment later.

His eyes sparkled. “This is also an option!” 0Xp9Mg

He raised his knees against Lu Huan’s chest, encouraging his newfound excitement. “Come on, come on…”

Lu Huan, “…”

Half an hour later, Yu Baihan lay on the bed, gazing up at the ceiling. The crystal lamp above had finally ceased its rhythmic swaying. 5maW4M

Seeing this, Lu Huan got up to inspect the situation. Yu Baihan let out a soft “ouch,” sat up, and met Lu Huan’s concerned gaze. His skin had been slightly scraped.

He playfully kicked Lu Huan’s knee with his foot, muttering deliberately, “See what you’ve done? It hurts.”

Lu Huan leaned in to kiss him reassuringly and then looked into his eyes. His face was flushed, and his lips were still tinged with the warmth of their previous encounter, making him quite enticing. “Now you know? It’ll hurt even more next time.”

Yu Baihan was captivated by him, and his heart skipped a beat. But when he regained his senses, he narrowed his eyes and scolded, “You’re frightening!” h4um9x

Yu Baihan made no move. “I’m so tired.”

Lu Huan sighed and picked him up, carrying him to the bathroom and placing him in the warm water.

Yu Baihan extended his hand. “My hand hurts.” fQ8Ryn

He emphasized the tone suggestively, saying, “Doctor Lu~”

Lu Huan sighed in frustration. He closed the bathroom door, rolled up his sleeves, and told Yu Baihan, who was sitting in the bathtub, “Today is an exception.”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Yu Baihan immediately approached happily. “Oh~”

Lu Huan leaned over and joined him in the water, turning to face Yu Baihan. He raised his chin and kissed him, saying, “Consider it a reward.” LOun9M

After their shared bath, it was almost time for dinner.

Yu Baihan was sprawled out contentedly on the bed.

Lu Huan had spent half an hour tending to his wounds before emerging from the bathroom. 6TrBJM

When the two of them made their way downstairs, dinner had been set in the dining room.

This time, Yu Baihan’s exploits had been noticed by Uncle Feng. Although he didn’t fully comprehend the details, he grasped the general idea. He was especially concerned when he saw someone return injured, so the dinner had been prepared with extra care.

Uncle Feng wiped away a tear from the corner of his eye and said, “Young Master, thank you for your hard work.”

Yu Baihan responded with a bashful smile, “No hard work at all! Serving the people is my duty.” 4pEdh2

Uncle Feng’s comforting words stuck in his throat.

Lu Huan observed Yu Baihan’s theatrical performance with some confusion, and after a moment of silence, he picked up a bowl and chopsticks. “Which one would you like to eat?”

Yu Baihan played the role of a benevolent ruler surveying his domain, scanning the table, and pointing at various dishes. “That, that, and that…”

Lu Huan selected each dish and fed them to Yu Baihan. “Here, have some crispy radish.” zc2dXi

Yu Baihan, with a wry smile, bit into it. He couldn’t help but think, “Senior Lu is being playful again.”

After they finished dinner, Lu Huan excused himself to answer a phone call in the side room.

Yu Baihan watched his retreating figure and faintly heard a few “hmm” sounds from the other end of the call. “Got it.”

When Lu Huan returned, he inquired eagerly, “What’s happening with the Si family?” 2ynrUW

Lu Huan nodded. “The Si family has finally noticed Si Yanting’s abnormal condition, and now the entire Si family is in turmoil.”

Yu Baihan was anxious. “How bad is it?”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Had their counterattack using dark magic failed?

Lu Huan tugged at the corner of his lips, his smile lacking warmth. “It’s not looking good.” saJrgK

Yu Baihan sighed with relief. “That’s a relief.”

“…”

“By the way, when will you submit the portfolio?”

“Tomorrow, I’ll contact the police,” Lu Huan replied. r67a30

Yu Baihan was mostly relieved. “Okay.”

The Si family had remained elusive for many years, shielded by the protagonist’s influence. It was uncertain whether their success was due to their deep connections or their cunning tactics. Without concrete evidence in the past, they couldn’t risk exposing the snake in the grass.

Now, with overwhelming ironclad evidence, and Lu Huan back on the case, no cunning wild dog could escape retribution.

While Yu Baihan was contemplating this, he heard Lu Huan’s voice, “I’ve asked Qin Lun to extract another segment from the video. We can use the file records to locate other victims.” Co0but

Yu Baihan looked up and met the determined glint in Lu Huan’s eyes.

Lu Huan lowered his gaze and lightly tapped the table with his fingertips. “If we’re going to investigate, we should turn everything upside down.”

The following day, Lu Huan swiftly grabbed the files and left the house. jdFa9O

Yu Baihan remained at home, surrounded by books. He had moved them all to the terrace that day to enjoy the fresh air and soak in the sunlight.

He reclined in his chair, savoring the breeze and sunshine.

Before long, he noticed a figure approaching from the far end of the courtyard. Yu Baihan sat up and squinted – it was Qin Lun.

As the figure drew nearer, Yu Baihan waved a greeting. “Lu Huan isn’t here.” 7OZtE1

Qin Lun stopped just outside the terrace and hesitated for a moment. “Young Master, I’ve come to see you.”

Yu Baihan had a puzzled look on his face: Huh?

After a brief pause, Qin Lun spoke. “I know what Si Yanting did. I never imagined you had such a tough time in the Si family. We all thought…”

He trailed off and added, “I haven’t told the other brothers about you, so don’t worry.” ByW7Rq

So, that’s why he’s here. A good brother, indeed.

Yu Baihan nodded appreciatively. “Thank you.”

Qin Lun nodded back. “You’re welcome.”

He hesitated for a moment, then continued, “Also, I believe Mr. Lu cares about you, he just has a hard time expressing it.” 0hE vV

Yu Baihan blinked in surprise.

“Yeah.”

Sometimes, it’s challenging to put feelings into words. Lu Huan was a little shy when it came to expressing emotions.

Qin Lun seemed relieved. “Alright, take care.” RO3b7F

“Thank you.”

Yu Baihan returned the gratitude. Then he glanced at the graduate entrance exam book in his hand.

“Come on.” Qin Lun encouraged him.

Yu Baihan looked at the book and nodded. “Yes, let’s do our best!” icb0BC

In the evening, Lu Huan returned home.

Yu Baihan slumped into a cozy spot and playfully inquired, “Master Lu, how was your day filled with busyness?”

Lu Huan disentangled his trapped foot, then gently lifted Yu Baihan and placed him on the sofa. “Si Yanting has been reduced to a broken person,” he revealed, “Now the two elderly members of the Si family plan to use ‘mental illness’ as an excuse to absolve him.” wEMYn6

Yu Baihan couldn’t believe it. This guy had initially intended to manipulate him into a state of idiocy.

“Don’t worry.” Lu Huan’s hand caressed Yu Baihan’s cheek, brushing away his newly ignited spirit, “I won’t let our Baihan’s efforts go to waste.”

Lu Huan expressed with disdain, “Some actions merit punishment.”

Yu Baihan observed Lu Huan, feeling his heart race. scrBnU

After a few seconds, he couldn’t resist and lovingly patted the back of Lu Huan’s hand. “If you hate it, just say so. Why do you put in so much effort?”

They pinched his cheeks until they were red.

Lu Huan withdrew his hand, slightly embarrassed. “…”

He rubbed his cheek again, saying, “I see.” 0bn3C7

Lu Huan’s efforts bore fruit within a day.

Yu Baihan was unaware of what Senior Lu had done, but when he heard about Si Yanting again, it was breaking news on social media:

“Si Yanting, the eldest son of the Si Family head, was arrested and imprisoned for prolonged illegal hypnosis!”

“Revelation of the confinement hypnosis room! Is this a perversion of human nature or a loss of morality?” 17CI0O

The news sent shockwaves through the public. Illegal hypnosis was indeed a shocking revelation. Even more surprising was that the perpetrator turned out to be the eldest son of a powerful family like the Si family. This scandal came hot on the heels of Si Wei’s corporate malfeasance, causing the Si family’s stock prices to plummet.

Seizing this opportunity, the Huo family and He family united, showing their determination to oust the Si family from the upper echelons of society. The Si family’s foundation was nearly obliterated, with only two aging family members left to safeguard their dwindling fortune.

The Si family’s predicament became a major issue, garnering attention not only from high society but also from the general public. The news of Si Yanting’s arrest prompted an outpouring of condolences to Yu Baihan.

It seemed that his enduring image as the resilient little lotus that rose above its murky surroundings had left a deep impression on many. jy8QBp

Condolences continued to pour in, and even Xue Qin personally called Yu Baihan to reassure him, urging him not to be affected by the Si family’s turmoil and to concentrate on his upcoming exam.

While Yu Baihan was on the phone with Xue Qin, Lu Huan was inspecting the progress of his hand injury. The broken skin on his palm had already healed, leaving only faint marks. Lu Huan gently ran his fingers over the healed area and continued to the fingers.

He traced around the base of the fingers, his touch meticulous and thorough.

Initially, Yu Baihan paid little attention to this, allowing Lu Huan to examine and massage his fingers. It wasn’t until he finished his call with Xue Qin that he asked, “Why are you sneaking around?” O6HCl2

Lu Huan blushed slightly and withdrew his hand casually. “It’s nothing,” he replied.

Shifting the conversation back, he said, “Si Yanting has been completely incarcerated. You can now focus on your upcoming exam. You still have five days left. Are you prepared?”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Of course,” Yu Baihan replied. Then he turned the question back to Lu Huan, “What about you?”

Lu Huan hesitated for a moment. HzPVcf

Yu Baihan playfully teased, “Come on, reveal your secret plan.”

Lu Huan’s face turned slightly red, and he mumbled, “Yes.”

Yu Baihan leaned in eagerly. “Have you finished your research? Are all your equipment ready?…Wait.” He suddenly had a doubt. “You know what you’re doing, right?”

Lu Huan looked momentarily surprised, and it appeared that he was clenching his molars. “Yes.” oJ8dBA

Yu Baihan leaned closer, intrigued. “You’ve memorized it, haven’t you?”

Lu Huan finally admitted, “Yes.”

Yu Baihan playfully leaned on him, “I’ll be waiting.”

Lu Huan pursed his lips and nodded, “Yes.” l523Lf

As the exam drew near in the following days, Yu Baihan found himself becoming less nervous. He had taken over Lu Huan’s desk to study for a while and then glanced at his companion.

Lu Huan had rearranged his computer setup, positioning it on the desk in such a way that there was still some space for Yu Baihan to study alongside him. The screen was turned away from him, occupying a small section of the desk.

Yu Baihan noticed that Lu Huan was completely engrossed in whatever was on the screen. His handsome face wore an intense expression, and his furrowed brows indicated that he was grappling with a problem. After a while, Yu Baihan saw a sudden change in Lu Huan’s demeanor. His fair skin flushed slightly, and the way he moved the mouse showed a hint of panic. qRSfTA

He appeared bewildered and unfamiliar.

Curious, Yu Baihan leaned in and asked, “What are you doing, Lu Huan?”

The sound startled Lu Huan, and he tightly gripped the mouse.

In response, he grabbed his computer. KZlSYI

Yu Baihan looked up, puzzled. “Where are you going?”

Lu Huan shut his computer and said, “I’ll work in another room.”

Yu Baihan scanned the room and pondered, “Is there something wrong with the feng shui here?”

“No,” Lu Huan replied. Ydi9vV

He paused and explained, “I have a video conference to attend, so I’m heading to the study.”

Yu Baihan was still perplexed. “Is it that formal?”

“Yes,” Lu Huan affirmed. He picked up his computer and left the bedroom.

The bedroom door shut with a bang! SGjukX

Yu Baihan hesitated for a moment, then couldn’t resist muttering to himself, “But aren’t you wearing pajamas?”

Lu Huan carried his computer into the study.

After closing the door, he sat at the desk, exhaled deeply, and turned on his computer. HG213c

The screen displayed various search queries:

“What precautions should be taken for the first time?”

“How to make your partner **** for the first time…”

“What type of kiss is most suitable for a first kiss?” T8sL6h

“Essential verbal techniques you need to know.”

With a flushed face, Lu Huan diligently browsed web forums. He was searching earnestly, but there were constant pop-up ads and relevant suggestions flashing on the screen.

As he closed the eighth pop-up window, the mouse unexpectedly clicked on a webpage.

Lu Huan frantically tried to exit, but the page suddenly froze. XcdMIG

A security alert popped up in the lower right corner!

Before he could dismiss it, the computer screen went black with a swipe.

“……”

Lu Huan:? ? ? . rM t0T

That night, Lu Huan returned home not too late.

As Yu Baihan lay in bed half-asleep, he felt the mattress depress beside him, and he was soon pulled into an embrace.

He snuggled into the familiar warmth and drifted back to sleep.

When Yu Baihan woke up the next day, he noticed that Lu Huan was already awake. Lu Huan sat at the table, focused on his computer, with a furrowed brow, clearly engrossed in something. amv8Mf

After washing up, he approached Lu Huan. “What are you working on?”

As he peered at the screen, he saw that it was completely black, and Lu Huan looked somewhat serious.

Lu Huan stopped his actions. “It’s nothing, it seems the battery is dead.”

Yu Baihan gave him a puzzled look. “You didn’t charge it when the battery ran out? What are you doing here…” He recalled Lu Huan’s movements. “Are you trying to generate static electricity?” aAJszt

Lu Huan, “…”

After a few seconds of silence, he said, “It might also be a virus.”

Yu Baihan:? ? ?

He playfully slapped Lu Huan’s head. “Why don’t you call Qin Lun to fix it for you? Don’t you have important files on your computer?” J9Q2bn

“……”

The room fell silent for a moment.

Finally, Lu Huan let out a sigh and called Qin Lun.

Qin Lun arrived promptly, bringing his equipment with him. Within minutes, he had connected Lu Huan’s computer to his equipment and began working on it at the desk. Both Lu Huan and Yu Baihan stood nearby. Ntd7zc

As Yu Baihan observed Qin Lun fixing the computer, he cast a curious glance at Lu Huan’s face, which seemed to be filled with a sense of anticipation.

Before he could ask, he heard Qin Lun say, “It’s fixed.”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Both Lu Huan and Yu Baihan turned their attention to the sound.

The computer screen suddenly lit up. ZjCiqs

In the next second, as the emergency intelligence system began to restore the computer, pages from the browsing history started popping up one after another:

The screen was filled with layers of forum webpages, interspersed with numerous flashing pop-up windows, instantly inundating their view.

Yu Baihan couldn’t help but take a sharp breath: Hiss!

The bedroom fell into complete silence, with an especially profound silence next to him. feapk6

“……”

The air seemed to have frozen for an eternity.

After a while, Qin Lun cautiously reached out and disconnected the data cable attached to his device, snapping it.

Yu Baihan slowly exhaled the breath he had been holding and gently pushed the now flashing laptop towards Lu Huan. QVszK5

After a brief moment of contemplation, he finally asked, “Are you… going to continue watching?”

“……”
