Ye Chen was flabbergasted. “Are you kidding me!?”
Death System responded, “This system never tells lies.”
Ye Chen, “You fucking—”
Death System, “I don’t have a sister.”
Ye Chen, “!@#!#%!¥%@!¥……@#¥……”
Death System whistled and looked up to the sky.
Even after uttering every cuss word he could think of, it wasn’t enough to let off Ye Chen’s pent up anger. He said, “Never did you say that I have to touch all the abs back in the morning!”
Death System replied brazenly, “I never said anything about only touching only a piece of it, either.”
Ye Chen, “…”
Death System summed up a part of the problem, “All that is to blame is why on earth does Ren Jing have a six pack out of nowhere…”
Now you’re even putting the freaking blame on Ren Jing? What a cheeky system!
Ye Chen was so enraged his heart hurt.
It would have been A-OK to just hand over the towel like what he did just now if only the requirement was simply to accidentally touch him. That way, he was certain that Ren Jing wouldn’t look deeper into it.
But since he had to touch all eight of them…
Come on, that’s not something that could be solved by accident! It would still be alright if the mission was to touch his back since he could say that he would help him wipe his back. Is there even such a service of wiping someone’s abs? Wiping someone’s body is already very special; a special service to be exact!
Ye Chen was ladened with anxiety. Do I have to give up on this mission?
Was he going to give up just like this after he had barely managed to obtain a stash of life points? I can’t take it! Besides, who could say for sure that tomorrow morning’s mission wasn’t going to be an unexpected one? What if it was a worse one? He would only have a few hours to complete the mission by then, unlike him having plenty of it right now. If he couldn’t complete the mission by then…
Ye Chen let out a wail, feeling that he was going to be done for.
While he was feeling queasy, he caught a glimpse of Fatty Gu going out of his room.
Now Ye Chen had a grudge against abs. He said, “When did you train?”
Even Fatty Gu has abs now, it’s impossible to go on with life for another day!
Gu Xi shot him a malicious glance. “You think I’m lazy like you?”
Ye Chen was displeased. What’s wrong with being lazy? Having a piece of abs is the kingly way! If someone received the mission of touching his abs, it would have been completed within minutes, unlike these bastards! Growing six-pack, eight-pack, or whatever the hell it is, aren’t they basically hounding people to death?
Gu Xi gave him a nudge, then said as he grinned, “You sure have such a smooth body, it’s almost like cotton candy.”
Ye Chen was ticklish, so he quickly pulled away. “Smooth your ass, I’ll workout the moment I return.”

Gu Xi replied, “No, just keep being you. The moment your husband touches it, he’ll definitely want to eat you up.”

Nanshan Hot Spring had a lot of bathing pools, with a hundred of them varying in size.
Ye Chen reserved the entire place, resulting in a spacious environment. Despite the emptiness, soaking in the hot spring amidst the mist had its own unique appeal thanks to the beautiful landscape that surrounded it.
Ye Chen had arranged for his room to be adjacent to Ren Jing’s and Gu Xi’s to be adjacent to his for the sake of the mission. Therefore, the hot springs in their small adjacent courtyards were all the same.
When Ye Chen and Gu Xi walked past the room, Ren Jing was already soaking in the water.
They were about to move closer when Gu Xi abruptly stopped in his tracks.
Ye Chen looked at him and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Gu Xi responded, “I…uh…I’m going to the restroom.”
Ye Chen rolled his eyes at him. “What have you been doing all this while?”
Gu Xi didn’t answer him and slipped away at lightning speed.
Ye Chen wasn’t aware of it at first, but shortly after Gu Xi left, he came to a realization: Holy moly, am I going to be alone with Ren Jing???
Did Gu Xi actually go to the restroom? Of course he wasn’t. It was just that he was ‘bent’ by birth, even much more than Ye Chen. Even though he wasn’t much interested in Ren Jing, it was human nature to desire food and sex. Even a virtuous man with a beautiful wife and a cherished child would experience a sexual impulse upon witnessing the sight of the most sexually alluring beauty in history strip naked before him.
Gu Xi was an ordinary man; he was stirred up by what he just saw.
Dammit, Ren Jing has such a fucking gorgeous figure!
For the sake of keeping in line with his principles, he had better hightail it outta here now!
Besides, he had come out as gay for a long time. Ren Jing would probably feel uncomfortable if they were to take a dip in the hot spring together.
How about Ye Chen? He should be fine, his sexual orientation hasn’t come to light, after all.
Still, Gu Xi believed that Ye Chen would likely try to escape. That guy got irked by Ren Jing the most. He would probably feel really terrible if they were to be left alone.
Ye Chen himself really wished he could escape, however…even the most experienced runner may trip at times.
He…he…might truly need to implore Movie King Ren to let him touch his abs… QAQ
Ye Chen stood on the side of the hot spring for a long while as he was lost in thought. Ren Jing didn’t say anything either, only staring intently at him all the while.
Ye Chen has very fair skin—not sickly but the healthy kind. It was delicate like a soft cloud, making anyone who looked at it craving to have a bite.
Ren Jing has done so before. As he recalled it, he could feel a certain part of his body throb in excitement.
He really wished that Ye Chen would soak in the water, yet at the same time he didn’t wish to.
It was obvious why he wished Ye Chen would take a dip. On the other hand, the reason why he didn’t wish to was that he couldn’t do anything in this place—he could see, yet couldn’t savor it—which left him with having to suppress it with all his might.
Meanwhile, Ye Chen made up his mind, raised his legs, then dipped them into the hot spring.
Ren Jing spoke softly, “Get in slowly, careful not to slip.”
Ye Chen’s voice was so quiet like that of a mosquito when he asked, “Is the water hot?”
The water wasn’t, but Ren Jing did look hot. He replied, “It’s alright.”
Ye Chen finally got inside the water and leaned against the edge. Though his heart was still thumping very loudly out of anxiousness, the lukewarm water soothed him. He leaned his head on the side of the hot spring and breathed softly.
Ren Jing’s Adam’s apple bobbed, his throat feeling somewhat parched.
Ye Chen was still racking his brain for ideas. Just what should I do so that I can touch his abs?
Assuming that he flung his hand, that should ‘touch’ at least three pieces, shouldn’t it? That left five pieces to touch. Would Ren Jing let him smack him for another three times?
Ye Chen felt that he was indulging too much in wishful thinking.
Death System suggested, “A pitch-black, windy night; all is quiet in the dead of night. Just go for a round and all is gucci.”
Ye Chen, “…” Why does the phrase ‘all is quiet in the dead of night’ sound so familiar somehow!?
Death System still tried to convince him. “If you’re so scared, why not drink some booze to boost your courage?”
Ye Chen’s attitude towards his ‘savior’ right now was like the autumn gale that swept away the fallen leaves relentlessly. He exclaimed, “Beat it!”
Death System let out a snicker, then fled.
Touching someone’s abs isn’t something that could be done ‘unintentionally’, no matter the circumstances. Now that there’s no way it could be completed accidentally, why not just go straight for it?
After thinking for a long, long while, Ye Chen finally made up his mind.
He tilted his head to look at Ren Jing and was just about to say something, but immediately paused again.
Ren Jing was staring at him, and the way he gazed at him was…
Fortunately, the thinly veiled, scorching gaze quickly dissipated, yet Ye Chen could still feel his pulse quickened. He said with a slightly trembling voice, “You…have such a nice body.”
Ren Jing, “…” He did his best to keep his voice calm as he said, “It’s so so.”
Ye Chen’s ears felt itchy upon hearing his voice. He couldn’t help scratching it before asking, “How long have you been training?”
Ren Jing responded, “I was quite petite in junior high. I kept on exercising so that I wouldn’t get picked on.”
“Junior high…” Ye Chen felt quite sorrowful as he recalled. He used to be rather tall in junior high, not to mention that he was the big boss. However… Why did it feel like he deteriorated instead? If he had known this was what the future had in store for him, he would have definitely exercised more frequently!
Ye Chen paused his train of thought, then tried to keep the conversation back ‘on the right track’. “…Is it hard to train abs?”
Ren Jing smiled as he said, “Not really, it’s not hard as long as you maintain your diet and exercise regularly.”
It would be a wonder if it isn’t hard! Ye Chen didn’t believe what he said at all. He went on to change the subject, “But I can’t get it…”
Ren Jing’s mind was completely filled with Ye Chen’s smooth belly and alluring waistline, imagining the feeling of holding it with one of his hands. As a result, his voice lowered a lot when he said, “You’re great the way you are.” Yes, it was so great that he wished to hold it again now.
Ye Chen knew that he said these out of courtesy, yet couldn’t help feeling just a little bit pleased in his heart.
Talking with Ren Jing felt really enjoyable, which also raised his courage unknowingly. His eyes darted around as he forced a conversation, “As you can see, I don’t have any, so I’m really curious… Are a-abs…s-stiff?”
His abs were not, yet a certain place was ‘worked up’ thanks to his question.
Ye Chen blinked, then said with a flushed face, “C-can I—”
Before he could finish, someone came and interrupted him. “So you two are here? Let’s have a meal together.”
Ye Chen, “…”
Ren Jing, “…”
A certain crew member, who just walked in accidentally, could feel a chill on their back. What’s happening? Why do their eyes have killing intent? What have I done wrong??
The crew member had question marks all over their face. They sneered and said, “I’ll go first. Take your time!”
What is this ‘take your time’ about?
Ye Chen and Ren Jing’s brain circuits miraculously connected together.
Right at this moment, Ye Chen was like a deflated ball; it would take time for him to muster his courage again. There wasn’t really much time for him to do so at present, however.
He simply said, “Let’s go, we should eat too.” As he said so, he thought of getting up.
He hadn’t soaked for long and the water wasn’t really hot, either. But perhaps because he was contemplating too many things at once, added up with him constantly feeling on edge, his surroundings suddenly turned dark just as he got up…
He could hear Ren Jing’s voice from behind him. “Careful.”
Before he knew it, Ren Jing had held his waist, then pulled him into his arms.
Ye Chen steadied his body and thought of saying thanks, but he was rendered speechless when he felt something rock hard against him.
What was that ‘thing’ that was nudging him at the end of his thigh!!?

I’m late!! Really sorry, I’ll be laying flat so that you could hit me as you please!
