Gamblers' GameChapter 11

He somewhat remembered what happened, but all of it was distorted and too colourful for reality. Even under drugs he did not have the desire to laugh and the games were no fun for him, but he remembered half lying on the table and mumbling the calculations for how to win.

The Deer came over to him, leaning in close. He heard a chuckle. 3mOZuf

Su Qi came over as well, her steps wobbly and unsteady. She was giggling and groping both over the dealer, who had been switched out for a horse, and Tian Zhu.

They talked.

Tian Zhu knew that the drug had less effect on the group of friends – they had some sort of tolerance already. She was high, but hadn’t lost her brain.

Ling Xian joined them, whispering something with Su Qi and laughing together with her. xyCvdb

Next thing Tian Zhu knew was that he was being picked up, and then the music grew quieter and the light dimmer.

Tian Zhu woke with a blaring headache from both drugs and alcohol. He did not remember having drunk that much alcohol, so someone must have given it to him, and there was no way the drugs from the casino would knock him out like this.

Unconscious customers did not waste their money at the tables.

Tian Zhu moved to sit up, holding his head, and noticed with almost unexpected serenity the state of his body.

Through his still slightly dizzy view, a hand reached over to stroke his naked skin and a chuckle sounded in his ear. “You’ve hidden such a nice body, sweetie. What a shame.”

He looked up into the foxy eyes of the hardly dressed dealer.

Tian Zhu merely acknowledged his existence, then shifted his limbs experimentally.

His backside didn’t hurt. He was dirty all over, with some hickeys and bitemarks bruising his skin. His mouth was filled with a stale aftertaste of alcohol.

Su Qi was nowhere to be seen, although he was certain she had been here for the night.

Whatever then. DRpJ3X

He did not remember, so he did not feel as disgusted as he expected. He was merely tired and wanted a shower.

Ignoring the dealer, he slipped off the bed and took a few seconds to steady himself. His clothes were intact, at least, and all thrown to the side onto a couch.

He picked them up and went into the bathroom that he could see through the open door. At least he could give himself a rough clean-up.

When he came back, the dealer was dressed, but still inside the room. The other looked over him with a curious and hungry gaze. His hair was short but soft, dyed in a pale blonde shade and his eyes had the distinct marks of contact lenses. Even nowadays, people weren’t born with their golden iris being checkered. 4fzNQy

“Sweetie, you’re being cold. After such a wild night, you’re not even giving me a good-morning-kiss?” The man chuckled. If it hadn’t been for Tian Zhu seeing his body, he’d have expected the person on the bed to be a woman according to his face and voice.

Tian Zhu threw him a wordless glance and made way for the door.

When he opened it, Ling Xian stood there, eyes widening shortly in surprise. His hand was raised for knocking.

Then Ling Xian smiled and laughed dotingly like an older brother. “Awake?” tjXxCv

Tian Zhu nodded and Ling Xian laughed while patting his shoulder and peering into the room, where the dealer waved at him in greeting.

“I was worried about you! You suddenly vanished, you know? I don’t mind you going out to have fun, but at least leave me a message.” Ling Xian ‘kindly’ placed a hand around his brother’s shoulder.

Tian Zhu looked at his older brother’s wrist.

The wristwatch was an old object. An old original. It was hard to get them in original nowadays, so they were both ridiculously expensive and rare. xZzrLd

Well. Su Qi had one from her grandfather, though, but never quite cared for it.

It wasn’t even a realisation that he had been sold for a wristwatch. It was just a short noting of the fact. After all, he had been wondering for a while how long it would take until Su Qi offered something to her brother in exchange for his silence.

Lawrence and Yang Mi would not like him being sold, dislike or not. He still had their blood.

So Su Qi needed Ling Xian’s silence and wasn’t allowed to take a video for once. Now she had what she wanted. oyb9a3

Hopefully she had been too drunk to notice the state of his body, or she might get annoying. The dealer had made it clear that he knew and was interested. No one would hide a good body these days, so it drew his attention.

“The other young lady is in the room next door”, the dealer said as he slowly approached the door. “Code is 4491. She was a bit too drunk, so I brought her over there to rest.”

Ling Xian smiled. “Thank you very much.”

“Not at all”, the dealer purred. “I have to thank the dear customers for using our establishment.” ChAFjo

Nights spent with dealers were never troublesome. The young man left without wasting much more words, although he did stare at Tian Zhu with hungry eyes for another while.

Ling Xian went to the next room to wake Su Qi, who cared not at all for being seen naked by her friend. They all were a group of degenerates.

Tian Zhu was dizzy and his thoughts were slow, but none of them noticed too much. He was as quiet as always and followed their lead – as always. An obedient Tian Zhu was the norm for them.

“Gosh, I guess I drank too much”, Su Qi complained while rubbing her forehead. “I hardly remember leaving the casino.” VjPd4O

No one called her out on the lie and Tian Zhu wondered whom she was putting the act on for. Her own conscience? Did she still have one?

Despite complaining about a headache, Su Qi looked quite vitalized. Her cheeks were flushed healthy and she looked content having finally gotten what she wanted to have. It had been a good chance and she had grabbed it. Since this had happened, her interest in Tian Zhu had gone down.

As the young man guessed, Su Qi had both taken drugs and given him some – although a different type than what she had taken. Her memories were too twisted to remember who the nice body she had touched belonged to and she didn’t bother trying to remember. When she had fallen asleep, she was moved by the dealer who was still quite awake.

As discussed with Ling Xian, she had not taken a video and neither had the dealer, who knew the rules. 1uKg0m

You could sleep with customers if they didn’t resist. Joining in on someone else drugging them worked too, since you could push away the blame. But anything that might leave traces was too dangerous, and so they had to avoid it.

But none of that mattered to Tian Zhu. He only wanted an actual shower at home, or maybe a nice long bath. He’d wake up ShuShu and let her run around on his computer. That’d be enough to calm the small ripples inside his mind.

He wasn’t truly troubled, as all of this had been within his expectations.

But still… He would have preferred being proven wrong. 2L8bAF

Soon. Soon it would be time for the next night, and maybe he’d be lucky.

Author’s Note

I’d like to point out that rape is deeply mentally disturbing for their victims. The reason why Tian Zhu reacts like this is because he has long given up on everything. (I’m not fond of rape, so even if it happens, it will be non-described like here)
