_{Qin Mo had yet to regain his composure until he heard those words that instantly sobered his mind with rage and made his growling tone carry a chill. “Get out!”}
A dry mouth and a mind still foggy greeted a newly awakened Qin Mo. He tried moving his body, but every muscle, even his bones, felt stiff. It was as if his body had rusted and fallen apart.

Qin Mo had yet to regain his composure until he heard those words that instantly sobered his mind with rage and made his growling tone carry a chill. “Get out!”

_{“Um, yeah.” Qin Mo felt somewhat uneasy.}He had memorised the numbers given to him by Shen Qing and Mo Nian and wanted to take care of that matter as soon as he could. If he could help them leave a day earlier, he would. That place was not one for a person to stay.

“Um, yeah.” Qin Mo felt somewhat uneasy.

_{Not a word left Qin Mo, his gaze falling. Being asked to explain his relationship with Shen Zhuoyun to the woman, who was basically his older sister, left him at a loss about what to say.}
It’s time for morning training.

Not a word left Qin Mo, his gaze falling. Being asked to explain his relationship with Shen Zhuoyun to the woman, who was basically his older sister, left him at a loss about what to say.

_{It was dawn when they finally made it to the city, from what Qin Mo remembered. Given the hour, Qin Zhen found the first hotel she could and stuffed them all in a room each.}A dry mouth and a mind still foggy greeted a newly awakened Qin Mo.

It was dawn when they finally made it to the city, from what Qin Mo remembered. Given the hour, Qin Zhen found the first hotel she could and stuffed them all in a room each.

_{“Um, yeah.” Qin Mo felt somewhat uneasy.}Shen Zhuoyun got stabbed in the gut. The timid little Zhu Ziying died. The kindly Doctor Jiang had left. The Zhao brothers had one freed and the other crippled. The carefree Shen Qing had her heart shattered. Lastly, the shy Mo Nian was almost viоlated.

“Um, yeah.” Qin Mo felt somewhat uneasy.

_{Three days of not washing or brushing his teeth in that warehouse made him feel putrid from the inside out and sent him running to the bathroom in a flash. Once there, he wished he could scrub even his insides to make himself feel clean.}“I do.” Done with all his buttons, Shen Zhuoyun pulled off the shirt now soaked in the front, kicked off his slippers and stepped into the shower, his arms slipping in from behind to embrace a fully plucked Qin Mo. “But I'll help you get a good scrub.” He said while squeezing some body wash into his hands before smearing it over Qin Mo without a second thought.

Three days of not washing or brushing his teeth in that warehouse made him feel putrid from the inside out and sent him running to the bathroom in a flash. Once there, he wished he could scrub even his insides to make himself feel clean.

Covering his eyes, he crawled back to bed and into the plush blanket that gave him an indescribable sense of security. Sleeping on that cold iron-frаmed bed in the dorm made him realise that sleeping on a simple spring mattress can be such a luxurious event.

_{“Shen. Zhuo. Yun!” Qin Mo grabbed the misbehaving paws, a crack finally appearing on his unbothered expression. “I can scrub myself just fine. I have no need for your assistance.”}A queen-sized bed so soft that lying in it felt like one would be sυcked in, and thіck silk blankets that carried a slight fragrance were just below him. Around him were walls lined in exquisitely patterned prints of beige, furniture following a European pastorаl style, and thіck, layered drаpes of khaki bordering a light tan covering the windows. The particles dancing on the beams shining through their gaps were eye-catching, filling Qin Mo with a sense of awe and warmth.

_{“I’m out now, alright? So please don’t ask.”}Shen Zhuoyun knew Qin Mo had thin skin, yet his urge to tease the boy won out over his better judgement, and in the end, that boy blew up in rage.

“I’m out now, alright? So please don’t ask.”

_{Just as he was about to step out of the hotel room, Qin Mo bumped into Qin Zhen.}“I do.” Done with all his buttons, Shen Zhuoyun pulled off the shirt now soaked in the front, kicked off his slippers and stepped into the shower, his arms slipping in from behind to embrace a fully plucked Qin Mo. “But I'll help you get a good scrub.” He said while squeezing some body wash into his hands before smearing it over Qin Mo without a second thought.

Just as he was about to step out of the hotel room, Qin Mo bumped into Qin Zhen.

Staring at her mum cousin for a while longer, Qin Zhen dropped the topic and went on to say, “I’ll do it. I’ll go buy them tomorrow. You can stay here for another day, but the day after that, we’ll be heading to see Grandpa.”

_{At the school, there were times when they were naked in the bathhouse, but that was out of necessity. There was barely enough time for all of them to wash, much less care about who was dressed or stripping. But this situation was not the same—far from it. Especially since that guy was dressed to the nines… looking like an actual human… {It’s obvious he has already washed up.}}It wasn’t as though Qin Mo was intentionally trying to hide it, nor was it particularly painful for him to recall everything that happened at that school, because he was now free. Sadly, it made Qin Zhen feel bad for him for no reason, and increased the likelihood of her tracking down Qin Hongjun to complain. But arguing with that man never ended well. That man would call his older sister to complain, then that woman would scold her daughter yet again. That woman held no fondness for that brother of hers, let alone his son. She abhorred her daughter getting involved in their affairs even more. Every time she got word of her daughter's intervention, her ever-judgemental brows deepened their furrow. That already precarious mother-daughter relationship was driven even closer to the edge of the cliff.

_{“Oh, you’re up.” Qin Zhen was carrying takeout.}N/A

“Oh, you’re up.” Qin Zhen was carrying takeout. Unlike Qin Mo, her tastes were more in line with the petite bourgeoisie. She had no fondness for hotel food, so she drove to a nearby restaurant to pick up some food, but the only one benefiting from such treatment was Qin Mo. Both Jiang Shao and Shen Zhuoyun were left to order room service, while the woman walked into the room with her cousin, saying, "Let's eat.”

We’re free now.

_{“Hey, Qin Mo?” While the water spewed from the shower, he heard someone calling outside the door.}At the school, there were times when they were naked in the bathhouse, but that was out of necessity. There was barely enough time for all of them to wash, much less care about who was dressed or stripping. But this situation was not the same—far from it.

We got out.

_{Seeing his cousin nod at his request, Qin Mo continued, “Can you buy one for Shen Zhuoyun, too?”}A queen-sized bed so soft that lying in it felt like one would be sυcked in, and thіck silk blankets that carried a slight fragrance were just below him.

The particles dancing on the beams shining through their gaps were eye-catching, filling Qin Mo with a sense of awe and warmth.

Seeing his cousin nod at his request, Qin Mo continued, “Can you buy one for Shen Zhuoyun, too?”

_{That was it. A flush of red rushed up from the base of his neck; Qin Mo could no longer stand it. It wasn't as though he had never touched it before, but back then, they were clothed. Now, they were naked! Now, it was daytime! Now—it was fornication in broad daylight!}Qin Zhen soon suspected the reason for her cousin’s thoughts; how could she not? Seeing that he actually requested to drop the matter, she also knew she couldn’t pry an answer out of him.

_{Scratching his nose, Shen Zhuoyun reached for his drenched shirt, slipping it on before sauntering out of the bathroom.}
In June, he was sent to that school by Qin Hongjun, and it took a lot of planning just to escape in January of the following year. Seven months in total. Yet, how much happened to him during that time?

Scratching his nose, Shen Zhuoyun reached for his drenched shirt, slipping it on before sauntering out of the bathroom.

_{{I overdid it.}}“Qin Mo…” Shen Zhuoyun leaned beside the glass screen, his tone languid. “Looks like you had a certain reaction yourself.” A moment ago, he snagged himself an in-depth look. Qin Mo did indeed have a reaction.

I overdid it.

_{“Oh, can you do me a favour?” Qin Mo suddenly remembered.}Rolling her eyes, Qin Zhen sneered, “Are you seriously going to act dumb? Can you tell me what happened? Did they hurt you? Did they beat you? I saw how banged up you were when I found you. You were a complete wreck. So tell me. Explain to me exactly what they did to you in that place!”

“Oh, can you do me a favour?” Qin Mo suddenly remembered.

_{“I’m out now, alright? So please don’t ask.”}Qin Zhen soon suspected the reason for her cousin’s thoughts; how could she not? Seeing that he actually requested to drop the matter, she also knew she couldn’t pry an answer out of him.

Qin Mo had yet to regain his composure until he heard those words that instantly sobered his mind with rage and made his growling tone carry a chill. “Get out!”

The second he turned around, he was met by the leaning figure of Shen Zhuoyun, one hand propped against the shower door and the other undoing the buttons of his shirt. Those peach blossom eyes were dripping with erоticism as he spoke. “Let’s wash up together.”

_{“Oh, you’re up.” Qin Zhen was carrying takeout.}Not a word left Qin Mo, his gaze falling. Being asked to explain his relationship with Shen Zhuoyun to the woman, who was basically his older sister, left him at a loss about what to say.

_{Just as he was about to step out of the hotel room, Qin Mo bumped into Qin Zhen.}“Shen. Zhuo. Yun!” Qin Mo grabbed the misbehaving paws, a crack finally appearing on his unbothered expression. “I can scrub myself just fine. I have no need for your assistance.”

Just as he was about to step out of the hotel room, Qin Mo bumped into Qin Zhen.

_N/A
After what happened to them, Qin Mo considered himself quite fortunate. He was practically a bystander watching them all struggle in that dreadful place. Compared to someone like Zhao Yuan, who was cruel to others as he destroyed half of his life avenging a great grudge. Or someone like Zhu Ziying, whose cruelty was directed at himself, yet even after sacrificing his life, he was unable to leave a single crack in the foundation of that school. Worse, there was Shen Qing, who managed to escape through much difficulty and danger only to realise all her hopes were in vain.

_{“I’m in the shower; hold on a minute,” Qin Mo called out in reply, but no sooner than he did, a familiar silhouette appeared outside the door.}At the table, Qin Mo looked at the dishes spreаd out; they were all in line with his preferences. Once he started eating, he couldn’t stop himself from wolfing it down, and upon seeing this, his cousin couldn’t help but frown. “Slow down. Aren't you afraid of choking? Just take your time.” Qin Zhen knew Qin Mo was indifferent when it came to food. So just what kind of hellish place was that school to make him act like this?

“I’m in the shower; hold on a minute,” Qin Mo called out in reply, but no sooner than he did, a familiar silhouette appeared outside the door.

_{“I need you to buy me a phone,” he stated. “My old one was confiscated by the school.”}At the school, there were times when they were naked in the bathhouse, but that was out of necessity.

Having slept in a filthy warehouse for three days, one night rolling around in the snow, and then drag racing in terror, the end result of being so high-strung for so long was extreme mental fatigue, enough to knock them out if their heads fell. When he got to his room, since his undershirt was long stripped and left in the snow to trick the instructors, Qin Mo removed the dirty coat and pants and buried himself under the blanket. But now, as he touched his arm while in bed, he could feel the mud still stuck to his skin, and that long-stifled cleanliness obsession of his returned in full swing.

“I’m in the shower; hold on a minute,” Qin Mo called out in reply, but no sooner than he did, a familiar silhouette appeared outside the door.

Steam filled the bathroom, fogging up the shower glass with its mist, obscuring the view of everything within. “Just leave it somewhere.” Qin Mo shouted back as the warm water sprayed over his hair and back. The water was hotter than he was used to, but it felt so good nonetheless. Qin Mo couldn’t recall the last time he took such a relaxing shower. That school only opened the bathhouse on Sundays, and each class was allowed twenty minutes to use it, including the time it took to change their clothes. If it were just taking a shower, it would be enough. But for a nearly grown teenage boy who hadn’t taken a bath for a week, such an allotment was no different than just letting him take a couple of dips in the water!

“I do.” Done with all his buttons, Shen Zhuoyun pulled off the shirt now soaked in the front, kicked off his slippers and stepped into the shower, his arms slipping in from behind to embrace a fully plucked Qin Mo. “But I'll help you get a good scrub.” He said while squeezing some body wash into his hands before smearing it over Qin Mo without a second thought.

_{To this request, Qin Zhen turned to her cousin, her gaze narrowing on the boy, her curiosity practically spilling out. “Is he the one that’s been pawing at you since last night?” She was in no way blind, so every secret and blatant gesture made by that boy towards her cousin, both before they got into the car, was clear as day—down to the way he looked at her.}It’s time for morning training.

Despite the supposed warmth brimming from the surface, something hostile seemed to peek through from beneath.

_{Thinking this, Qin Mo flopped himself out of bed like a carp, standing straight. It was only then that he realised the room was not the bare-bones dorm room that was now familiar, but somewhere completely unknown.}
Pushing open the bathroom door as naturally as can be, Shen Zhuoyun walked in, brow cоcked, lips barely restraining their smirk as he carried a stack of clothes in his hands and said, “I brought you a change of clothes.”

_{“So, are you guys close?”}“I’m out now, alright? So please don’t ask.”

“So, are you guys close?”

“Shen. Zhuo. Yun!” Qin Mo grabbed the misbehaving paws, a crack finally appearing on his unbothered expression. “I can scrub myself just fine. I have no need for your assistance.”

_{“What?” Qin Zhen replied with a snort, refusing to look at him despite understanding his intentions.}

_{“So, are you guys close?”}
Worse yet, the water they used back then was never warmer than twenty degrees Celsius, regardless of the temperature. This was fine during the summer, but during winter, it was beyond uncomfortable. Leaving that bath made his upper and lower teeth clash in battle; he was left frozen to the bone.

“So, are you guys close?”

_{Qin Mo nodded simply, unable to say a word, as the piercing gaze of his cousin left him at a loss.}But… that boy’s reaction, his serious face splashed with the hint of blush, and his warmth and softness at the touch were just so… worth it. Such were Shen Zhuoyun’s thoughts.

Qin Mo nodded simply, unable to say a word, as the piercing gaze of his cousin left him at a loss.

_{While Qin Mo was enjoying his newfound luxury, Shen Zhuoyun placed the clothes he brought aside and slid the shower door open, sending a rush of cold air towards Qin Mo that made his entire body quiver.}At the table, Qin Mo looked at the dishes spreаd out; they were all in line with his preferences. Once he started eating, he couldn’t stop himself from wolfing it down, and upon seeing this, his cousin couldn’t help but frown. “Slow down. Aren't you afraid of choking? Just take your time.” Qin Zhen knew Qin Mo was indifferent when it came to food. So just what kind of hellish place was that school to make him act like this?

While Qin Mo was enjoying his newfound luxury, Shen Zhuoyun placed the clothes he brought aside and slid the shower door open, sending a rush of cold air towards Qin Mo that made his entire body quiver.

_{“So, are you guys close?”}Pushing open the bathroom door as naturally as can be, Shen Zhuoyun walked in, brow cоcked, lips barely restraining their smirk as he carried a stack of clothes in his hands and said, “I brought you a change of clothes.”

“So, are you guys close?”

_{“Qin Mo…” Shen Zhuoyun leaned beside the glass screen, his tone languid. “Looks like you had a certain reaction yourself.” A moment ago, he snagged himself an in-depth look. Qin Mo did indeed have a reaction.}

“What?” Qin Zhen replied with a snort, refusing to look at him despite understanding his intentions.

_{That was it. A flush of red rushed up from the base of his neck; Qin Mo could no longer stand it. It wasn't as though he had never touched it before, but back then, they were clothed. Now, they were naked! Now, it was daytime! Now—it was fornication in broad daylight!}Thinking this, Qin Mo flopped himself out of bed like a carp, standing straight. It was only then that he realised the room was not the bare-bones dorm room that was now familiar, but somewhere completely unknown.

_{“I need you to buy me a phone,” he stated. “My old one was confiscated by the school.”}
The second he turned around, he was met by the leaning figure of Shen Zhuoyun, one hand propped against the shower door and the other undoing the buttons of his shirt. Those peach blossom eyes were dripping with erоticism as he spoke. “Let’s wash up together.”

“I need you to buy me a phone,” he stated. “My old one was confiscated by the school.”

_{“Hey, Qin Mo?” While the water spewed from the shower, he heard someone calling outside the door.}Three days of not washing or brushing his teeth in that warehouse made him feel putrid from the inside out and sent him running to the bathroom in a flash. Once there, he wished he could scrub even his insides to make himself feel clean.

“Hey, Qin Mo?” While the water spewed from the shower, he heard someone calling outside the door.

_{“Oh, can you do me a favour?” Qin Mo suddenly remembered.}A tree without bark is sure to die; a person without face (shame) is sure to be invincible to the world. This was an old saying, where the latter, 'invincibility', fit a wolf-like boy to a T. His unabashed shamelessness made Qin Mo choke, his hands still busy with their roaming. That tendency of his sneaky paws to seek out more secret places the more they were allowed to touch made Qin Mo step back, his mouth ready to open, but the moment he did, something firm poked against his lower back.

_{“I’m in the shower; hold on a minute,” Qin Mo called out in reply, but no sooner than he did, a familiar silhouette appeared outside the door.}Covering his eyes, he crawled back to bed and into the plush blanket that gave him an indescribable sense of security. Sleeping on that cold iron-frаmed bed in the dorm made him realise that sleeping on a simple spring mattress can be such a luxurious event.

“I’m in the shower; hold on a minute,” Qin Mo called out in reply, but no sooner than he did, a familiar silhouette appeared outside the door.

_{Scratching his nose, Shen Zhuoyun reached for his drenched shirt, slipping it on before sauntering out of the bathroom.}A dry mouth and a mind still foggy greeted a newly awakened Qin Mo. He tried moving his body, but every muscle, even his bones, felt stiff. It was as if his body had rusted and fallen apart.

_{Qin Mo nodded simply, unable to say a word, as the piercing gaze of his cousin left him at a loss.}
At the school, there were times when they were naked in the bathhouse, but that was out of necessity. There was barely enough time for all of them to wash, much less care about who was dressed or stripping. But this situation was not the same—far from it. Especially since that guy was dressed to the nines… looking like an actual human… It’s obvious he has already washed up.

Qin Mo nodded simply, unable to say a word, as the piercing gaze of his cousin left him at a loss.

_{{Wash up together, my butt!}}Steam filled the bathroom, fogging up the shower glass with its mist, obscuring the view of everything within. “Just leave it somewhere.” Qin Mo shouted back as the warm water sprayed over his hair and back. The water was hotter than he was used to, but it felt so good nonetheless. Qin Mo couldn’t recall the last time he took such a relaxing shower. That school only opened the bathhouse on Sundays, and each class was allowed twenty minutes to use it, including the time it took to change their clothes. If it were just taking a shower, it would be enough. But for a nearly grown teenage boy who hadn’t taken a bath for a week, such an allotment was no different than just letting him take a couple of dips in the water!

Wash up together, my butt!

_{Qin Mo nodded simply, unable to say a word, as the piercing gaze of his cousin left him at a loss.}Qin Mo finally remembered he had escaped the hell he was stuck in for more than half a year—after enduring countless hаrdships.

Qin Zhen soon suspected the reason for her cousin’s thoughts; how could she not? Seeing that he actually requested to drop the matter, she also knew she couldn’t pry an answer out of him.

“Get out!” Qin Mo kicked Shen Zhuoyun, every line on his face drawn into a knit. Being literally kicked out of the shower caught Shen Zhuoyun so off guard that his stumbling steps almost made him slip. Once out, Qin Mo decisively, and loudly, slid the shower door shut.

_{Qin Mo nodded simply, unable to say a word, as the piercing gaze of his cousin left him at a loss.}We’re free now.

“I do.” Done with all his buttons, Shen Zhuoyun pulled off the shirt now soaked in the front, kicked off his slippers and stepped into the shower, his arms slipping in from behind to embrace a fully plucked Qin Mo. “But I'll help you get a good scrub.” He said while squeezing some body wash into his hands before smearing it over Qin Mo without a second thought.

_{He had memorised the numbers given to him by Shen Qing and Mo Nian and wanted to take care of that matter as soon as he could. If he could help them leave a day earlier, he would.

She had no fondness for hotel food, so she drove to a nearby restaurant to pick up some food, but the only one benefiting from such treatment was Qin Mo. Both Jiang Shao and Shen Zhuoyun were left to order room service, while the woman walked into the room with her cousin, saying, "Let's eat.”

If not, left up to his own devices, Qin Mo would be decked out like an otaku.

_{“So, are you guys close?”}It was dawn when they finally made it to the city, from what Qin Mo remembered. Given the hour, Qin Zhen found the first hotel she could and stuffed them all in a room each.

Being asked to explain his relationship with Shen Zhuoyun to the woman, who was basically his older sister, left him at a loss about what to say.

It wasn’t as though Qin Mo was intentionally trying to hide it, nor was it particularly painful for him to recall everything that happened at that school, because he was now free. Sadly, it made Qin Zhen feel bad for him for no reason, and increased the likelihood of her tracking down Qin Hongjun to complain. But arguing with that man never ended well. That man would call his older sister to complain, then that woman would scold her daughter yet again. That woman held no fondness for that brother of hers, let alone his son. She abhorred her daughter getting involved in their affairs even more. Every time she got word of her daughter's intervention, her ever-judgemental brows deepened their furrow.

Qin Zhen soon suspected the reason for her cousin’s thoughts; how could she not? Seeing that he actually requested to drop the matter, she also knew she couldn’t pry an answer out of him.

“Oh, can you do me a favour?” Qin Mo suddenly remembered.

_{{We’re free now.}}In June, he was sent to that school by Qin Hongjun, and it took a lot of planning just to escape in January of the following year. Seven months in total. Yet, how much happened to him during that time?

We’re free now.

_{Steam filled the bathroom, fogging up the shower glass with its mist, obscuring the view of everything within. “Just leave it somewhere.}Seeing his cousin nod at his request, Qin Mo continued, “Can you buy one for Shen Zhuoyun, too?”

_{Covering his eyes, he crawled back to bed and into the plush blanket that gave him an indescribable sense of security. Sleeping on that cold iron-frаmed bed in the dorm made him realise that sleeping on a simple spring mattress can be such a luxurious event.}Rolling her eyes, Qin Zhen sneered, “Are you seriously going to act dumb? Can you tell me what happened? Did they hurt you? Did they beat you? I saw how banged up you were when I found you. You were a complete wreck. So tell me. Explain to me exactly what they did to you in that place!”

_{Just as he was about to step out of the hotel room, Qin Mo bumped into Qin Zhen.}Three days of not washing or brushing his teeth in that warehouse made him feel putrid from the inside out and sent him running to the bathroom in a flash. Once there, he wished he could scrub even his insides to make himself feel clean.

Just as he was about to step out of the hotel room, Qin Mo bumped into Qin Zhen.

_{A dry mouth and a mind still foggy greeted a newly awakened Qin Mo. He tried moving his body, but every muscle, even his bones, felt stiff. It was as if his body had rusted and fallen apart.}Rolling her eyes, Qin Zhen sneered, “Are you seriously going to act dumb? Can you tell me what happened? Did they hurt you? Did they beat you? I saw how banged up you were when I found you. You were a complete wreck. So tell me. Explain to me exactly what they did to you in that place!”

A dry mouth and a mind still foggy greeted a newly awakened Qin Mo. He tried moving his body, but every muscle, even his bones, felt stiff. It was as if his body had rusted and fallen apart.

Qin Mo had yet to regain his composure until he heard those words that instantly sobered his mind with rage and made his growling tone carry a chill. “Get out!”

_{“I know.” Shen Zhuoyun chuckled softly. “I just wanted to take advantage of you.”}
“I need you to buy me a phone,” he stated. “My old one was confiscated by the school.”

“I know.” Shen Zhuoyun chuckled softly. “I just wanted to take advantage of you.”

_{“Oh, can you do me a favour?” Qin Mo suddenly remembered.}N/A

“Oh, can you do me a favour?” Qin Mo suddenly remembered.

_{{Wash up together, my butt!}}Qin Zhen soon suspected the reason for her cousin’s thoughts; how could she not? Seeing that he actually requested to drop the matter, she also knew she couldn’t pry an answer out of him.

Wash up together, my butt!

_{“Get out!” Qin Mo kicked Shen Zhuoyun, every line on his face drawn into a knit. Being literally kicked out of the shower caught Shen Zhuoyun so off guard that his stumbling steps almost made him slip. Once out, Qin Mo decisively, and loudly, slid the shower door shut.}After what happened to them, Qin Mo considered himself quite fortunate. He was practically a bystander watching them all struggle in that dreadful place. Compared to someone like Zhao Yuan, who was cruel to others as he destroyed half of his life avenging a great grudge. Or someone like Zhu Ziying, whose cruelty was directed at himself, yet even after sacrificing his life, he was unable to leave a single crack in the foundation of that school. Worse, there was Shen Qing, who managed to escape through much difficulty and danger only to realise all her hopes were in vain.

_{“Oh, you’re up.” Qin Zhen was carrying takeout.}
He had memorised the numbers given to him by Shen Qing and Mo Nian and wanted to take care of that matter as soon as he could. If he could help them leave a day earlier, he would. That place was not one for a person to stay.

_{Scratching his nose, Shen Zhuoyun reached for his drenched shirt, slipping it on before sauntering out of the bathroom.}We’re free now.

Scratching his nose, Shen Zhuoyun reached for his drenched shirt, slipping it on before sauntering out of the bathroom.

_{Only he, Jiang Shao, and Shen Zhuoyun had managed to escape in the end.}Worse yet, the water they used back then was never warmer than twenty degrees Celsius, regardless of the temperature. This was fine during the summer, but during winter, it was beyond uncomfortable. Leaving that bath made his upper and lower teeth clash in battle; he was left frozen to the bone.

Only he, Jiang Shao, and Shen Zhuoyun had managed to escape in the end.

Qin Zhen soon suspected the reason for her cousin’s thoughts; how could she not? Seeing that he actually requested to drop the matter, she also knew she couldn’t pry an answer out of him.

_{“Oh, you’re up.” Qin Zhen was carrying takeout.}A tree without bark is sure to die; a person without face (shame) is sure to be invincible to the world. This was an old saying, where the latter, 'invincibility', fit a wolf-like boy to a T. His unabashed shamelessness made Qin Mo choke, his hands still busy with their roaming. That tendency of his sneaky paws to seek out more secret places the more they were allowed to touch made Qin Mo step back, his mouth ready to open, but the moment he did, something firm poked against his lower back.

_{Just as he was about to step out of the hotel room, Qin Mo bumped into Qin Zhen.}
Seeing his cousin nod at his request, Qin Mo continued, “Can you buy one for Shen Zhuoyun, too?”

Just as he was about to step out of the hotel room, Qin Mo bumped into Qin Zhen.

_{Only he, Jiang Shao, and Shen Zhuoyun had managed to escape in the end.}Having slept in a filthy warehouse for three days, one night rolling around in the snow, and then drag racing in terror, the end result of being so high-strung for so long was extreme mental fatigue, enough to knock them out if their heads fell. When he got to his room, since his undershirt was long stripped and left in the snow to trick the instructors, Qin Mo removed the dirty coat and pants and buried himself under the blanket. But now, as he touched his arm while in bed, he could feel the mud still stuck to his skin, and that long-stifled cleanliness obsession of his returned in full swing.

_{A tree without bark is sure to die; a person without face (shame) is sure to be invincible to the world. This was an old saying, where the latter, 'invincibility', fit a wolf-like boy to a T.}While Qin Mo was enjoying his newfound luxury, Shen Zhuoyun placed the clothes he brought aside and slid the shower door open, sending a rush of cold air towards Qin Mo that made his entire body quiver.

_{“So, are you guys close?”}N/A

“So, are you guys close?”

_{It’s time for morning training.}
To this request, Qin Zhen turned to her cousin, her gaze narrowing on the boy, her curiosity practically spilling out. “Is he the one that’s been pawing at you since last night?” She was in no way blind, so every secret and blatant gesture made by that boy towards her cousin, both before they got into the car, was clear as day—down to the way he looked at her. Despite the supposed warmth brimming from the surface, something hostile seemed to peek through from beneath.

It’s time for morning training.

_{Steam filled the bathroom, fogging up the shower glass with its mist, obscuring the view of everything within. “Just leave it somewhere.}Not a word left Qin Mo, his gaze falling. Being asked to explain his relationship with Shen Zhuoyun to the woman, who was basically his older sister, left him at a loss about what to say.

“Um, yeah.” Qin Mo felt somewhat uneasy.

The water was hotter than he was used to, but it felt so good nonetheless. Qin Mo couldn’t recall the last time he took such a relaxing shower. That school only opened the bathhouse on Sundays, and each class was allowed twenty minutes to use it, including the time it took to change their clothes. If it were just taking a shower, it would be enough. But for a nearly grown teenage boy who hadn’t taken a bath for a week, such an allotment was no different than just letting him take a couple of dips in the water!

_{Qin Mo finally remembered he had escaped the hell he was stuck in for more than half a year—after enduring countless hаrdships.}As for the boy in question, his plans for a good soak in the tub were tossed aside as he simply washed himself clean and threw on a change of clothing. From the looks of them alone, Qon Mo could tell his cousin had chosen them. She had always fancied retro British-styled clothing and had been the one who bought many of Qin Mo’s clothes. If not, left up to his own devices, Qin Mo would be decked out like an otaku.

_{A dry mouth and a mind still foggy greeted a newly awakened Qin Mo. He tried moving his body, but every muscle, even his bones, felt stiff. It was as if his body had rusted and fallen apart.}A queen-sized bed so soft that lying in it felt like one would be sυcked in, and thіck silk blankets that carried a slight fragrance were just below him. Around him were walls lined in exquisitely patterned prints of beige, furniture following a European pastorаl style, and thіck, layered drаpes of khaki bordering a light tan covering the windows. The particles dancing on the beams shining through their gaps were eye-catching, filling Qin Mo with a sense of awe and warmth.

We got out.

_{Shen Zhuoyun knew Qin Mo had thin skin, yet his urge to tease the boy won out over his better judgement, and in the end, that boy blew up in rage.}
Staring at her mum cousin for a while longer, Qin Zhen dropped the topic and went on to say, “I’ll do it. I’ll go buy them tomorrow. You can stay here for another day, but the day after that, we’ll be heading to see Grandpa.”

Shen Zhuoyun knew Qin Mo had thin skin, yet his urge to tease the boy won out over his better judgement, and in the end, that boy blew up in rage.

_{But… that boy’s reaction, his serious face splashed with the hint of blush, and his warmth and softness at the touch were just so… worth it.

Once he started eating, he couldn’t stop himself from wolfing it down, and upon seeing this, his cousin couldn’t help but frown. “Slow down. Aren't you afraid of choking? Just take your time.” Qin Zhen knew Qin Mo was indifferent when it came to food. So just what kind of hellish place was that school to make him act like this?
