Incurable Pain | Chapter 84

Yu Luoyin almost immediately spotted the boy behind Bai Xunyin, not for any other reason but because his vision was sharp enough, and the ‘tag-along’ behind Bai Xunyin had a sufficiently pitiful expression upon seeing her walking towards his car.

He raised his eyebrows in amus.e.m.e.nt.

Even more interesting was that the usually low-key girl, this time, when she reached the car, actually knocked on his car window to signal him to come out.

Yu Luoyin found it quite refres.h.i.+ng, so he got out of the car with interest and was immediately pulled by Bai Xunyin’s arm amidst the hustle and bustle of people.

It was rare for the girl to be so dependent on him in front of others, and Yu Luoyin was quite pleased. He lazily leaned against the car, half embracing her.

Then he saw the boy who had just followed Bai Xunyin, walking over with an expression of utter bewilderment and paleness.

Hmm, this was getting interesting.

Yu Luoyin smirked playfully, allowing Bai Xunyin to introduce him to the boy. 

“Let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend.”

Although Sheng Jianian had long known that Bai Xunyin had a boyfriend, seeing him in person now, and seeing Yu Luoyin’s car, he inexplicably felt a sense of brokenness, akin to shattering a beautiful illusion.

“S-Sister… Senior sister.” 

Sheng Jianian, despite his good family background, still looked at Bai Xunyin like any other cynical young man. 

He changed his tone and sighed softly, “I just wanted to ask you a question about the paper.”

The imposing aura of Yu Luoyin was intimidating, but Sheng Jianian didn’t want to lose too much face, so he resorted to the excuse of frequently bothering Bai Xunyin.

“Kid.” 

Yu Luoyin squeezed Bai Xunyin’s shoulder to signal her not to speak, then said lightly, “Don’t you want to greet me?”

Sheng Jianian was stunned for a moment, awkwardly turned his head, and replied coldly, “h.e.l.lo.”

“Not good enough.” 

Yu Luoyin sighed as if in disappointment, not knowing what he was sighing about in a sarcastic tone. 

“Young people these days are so rude. It’s really not good.”

…

Sheng Jianian was, after all, a young man, far less experienced than Yu Luoyin, this ‘old fox.’ 

Hearing this, he was immediately infuriated.

His fair face flushed with anger, he stomped his feet and said, “What did you say?”

“Hmm?” 

Yu Luoyin smiled as if teasing a child, indifferent, then turned to Bai Xunyin and said, “Did I say something?”

“…” 

Bai Xunyin was speechless. Knowing that this person could easily manipulate Sheng Jianian, she could only silently pinch Yu Luoyin’s waist and whispered, “Shut up.”

Then she looked at Sheng Jianian, trying to defuse the situation, “Ask your question tomorrow, let’s stop for today.”

With that, she was about to pull Yu Luoyin into the car.

Actually, Yu Luoyin couldn’t be bothered to argue with Sheng Jianian, this kid, even though he suspected him of being the ‘potato’ who kept calling her ‘sister.’

But with a faint chuckle, he followed Bai Xunyin’s lead and prepared to get into the car.

But surprisingly, it was Sheng Jianian who couldn’t stand it anymore.

He looked at Bai Xunyin’s slender figure being embraced by this man who looked ‘untrustworthy’ from any angle, feeling that his retina was being stimulated beyond recognition.

Sheng Jianian blurted out without thinking, “Senior sister, I didn’t expect you to be like this!”

Bai Xunyin paused, inexplicably turning to look at Sheng Jianian.

And the boy apparently thought his ‘wild imagination’ was shattered. Taking advantage of the fact that most of their colleagues had already left work and there were few people outside the large office building, his eyes reddened, and he spoke uncontrollably, “Senior sister, are you with this man because of his money?”

Bai Xunyin was completely taken aback by Sheng Jianian’s ability to imagine to this extent.

In fact, Sheng Jianian really did think so.

The first time he saw Bai Xunyin, he was attracted by her cold and quiet demeanor. So, like a voyeur, he observed her in the library for several months.

In Sheng Jianian’s eyes, Bai Xunyin was a rare pure lotus in this materialistic world, untouched by the mud.

–But then he saw her boyfriend drive a Bentley.

Sheng Jianian wasn’t a radical anti-rich person, and his family was quite well-off, but from Yu Luoyin the person to this car, he simply felt that there was nothing that could match Bai Xunyin. He couldn’t help but become cynical.

And his inexplicable hatred towards Yu Luoyin was probably a form of ‘same-s.e.x rejection.’

Bai Xunyin pressed Yu Luoyin’s slender fingers, preventing him from wanting to hit someone out of anger, and frowned at Sheng Jianian. 

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

“I’m not talking nonsense!” 

Sheng Jianian, after all, was young, and all his emotions were written on his face. Seeing Yu Luoyin’s disdainful expression, he straightened his neck and said stubbornly, “Senior sister, this man is not worthy of you at all!”

Yu Luoyin burst into laughter at this, “How am I not worthy?”

“The air around you is vulgar and mundane, how could you match senior sister?” 

Sheng Jianian snorted, speaking with an air of righteousness, but his eyes towards Bai Xunyin were filled with sincere feelings. 

“Senior sister, he just knows how to package himself with a little money. You shouldn’t be deceived by someone’s appearance. One day, I will definitely be richer than him!”

…

Bai Xunyin was completely at a loss for words due to anger.

But Yu Luoyin had already emerged from his earlier anger and found the scene somewhat funny.

“Kid, you’re wrong about that.” 

Yu Luoyin couldn’t help but laugh, his long arm wrapped around Bai Xunyin’s shoulder possessively, his voice lazy. 

“My salary isn’t even higher than hers.”

Sheng Jianian was stunned.

“The car was bought with money loaned from my family, and my girlfriend pays off the car loan.” 

Yu Luoyin spoke seriously, but his words were nonsensical, constantly stimulating Sheng Jianian’s nerves. 

“But what can I do? Yinyin just likes me.”

Yu Luoyin’s appearance, as if he were proudly ‘living off’ someone, left Sheng Jianian dumbfounded.

He had lived for more than twenty years and had never seen such shamelessness.

“Alright.” 

Bai Xunyin stifled her laughter and gently pinched Yu Luoyin’s waist. 

“Let’s go.”

In any case, he had already helped her vent her anger, and she couldn’t be bothered to deal with Sheng Jianian now.

If he doesn’t follow his predetermined plan step by step, he will have a feeling of being deceived, as if his ‘image’ has collapsed, which is simply ridiculous.

“If it weren’t for the fact that he’s your colleague.” 

After getting into the car, Yu Luoyin said solemnly to Bai Xunyin, “I probably couldn’t resist the urge to soothe his face with my fist.”

It was the first time he had been so disdainfully mocked by someone, especially by this person who was a ‘rival.’ 

He couldn’t bear it any longer, so Yu Luoyin couldn’t help but ask, “Is he the ‘potato’?”

…

How does he still remember this WeChat?

Bai Xunyin nodded somewhat helplessly. 

“Yeah.”

“Honestly, how long has he been bothering you?” Yu Luoyin chuckled lightly. 

“Judging by his persistence in adding you twelve times, it doesn’t seem like a fleeting interest.”

It must be said that sometimes men can be quite scary when a.n.a.lyzing things based on their intuition.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Xunyin had to tell Yu Luoyin about what happened when she first met Sheng Jianian at the university.

The man remained silent after listening, giving off an inexplicable feeling of unease.

As Bai Xunyin observed his expression, she wondered if she had been too honest by mentioning the ‘blind date’ so straightforwardly. She was hesitating whether to break the silence first when Yu Luoyin stopped the car by the roadside.

“So, you met once before in the north?” 

Yu Luoyin spoke calmly, but there was a hint of gritted teeth in his tone. 

“Since then, he hasn’t forgotten about you, even specifically pursuing you to Lan University to become your student, and then to the workplace as an intern?”

…

“Only the first half of what you said is an objective fact.” 

Bai Xunyin felt somewhat guilty and whispered softly, “The rest were things you said yourself.”

“Hiss, you’re really attracting trouble.” 

Yu Luoyin cursed softly and then pulled the girl into his arms, kissing her fiercely. His usually refined and gentle eyes were unusually dark. 

“It’s so irritating.”

Anyone who dared to covet him might have had enough of living.

For Yu Luoyin, he could tolerate being criticized and mocked to his face, treating it as water off a duck’s back, but for this ‘male green tea’ who was scheming to be a third party, he couldn’t just let it go so easily.

The man’s pitch-black eyes turned, and he had already figured out one or two things in his heart.

He speculated that Sheng Jianian, with his proud and pretentious nature, after today’s fiasco, would definitely be too embarra.s.sed to face Bai Xunyin at the research inst.i.tute tomorrow.

Yu Luoyin speculated that he would definitely take a day off and stay at the school… 

Wouldn’t that be perfect? 

The man smiled meaningfully.

The next day, when Yu Luoyin was not on duty and had no surgeries, he took the opportunity to drive to Lan University.

He had been here several times before, so he easily found the male dormitory building and asked the security guard at the entrance to inform Sheng Jianian to come out.

The young and inexperienced boy obviously didn’t expect the person who came to find him to be Yu Luoyin. When he walked out of the dormitory building’s door, Sheng Jianian froze solidly.

Yu Luoyin looked at his clearly shocked expression and got straight to the point. 

“Do you want to talk here or somewhere else? It’s up to you.”

Sheng Jianian asked coldly, “Why are you looking for me?”

“To make things clear, I’m not here to find you.” Yu Luoyin chuckled lightly. 

“I’m here to see what kind of person my budget version is.”

Sheng Jianian’s feet seemed rooted to the spot as he stared blankly at Yu Luoyin.

His voice floated, “W-what did you say?”

In fact, Yu Luoyin had noticed this problem as soon as he saw Sheng Jianian yesterday.

This might also be the reason why Bai Xunyin felt inexplicably guilty when she ‘explained’ to him yesterday.

“You look a bit like me.” 

Yu Luoyin raised his eyebrows, appearing like a n.o.ble and cold force, his words biting when facing his rival. 

“But you’re still far from it.”

“I-I don’t look like you!” 

Actually, men who are relatively good-looking are quite aware of their own appearance. Sheng Jianian felt a bit familiar when he saw Yu Luoyin yesterday, but he couldn’t remember who he resembled until he came back and saw himself in the mirror.

Even more tragically, compared to this flamboyant man, his appearance was inferior in every aspect, and it could only be said that there was a three percent similarity at best.

But Sheng Jianian would never admit it.

He hardened his fist, reb.u.t.ting firmly, “Please don’t praise yourself.”

“It doesn’t matter, but whether you admit it or not…” 

Yu Luoyin toyed with a cigarette between his slender fingers, not smoking, just casually saying, “Our little girl is kind to you just because you look a little bit like me.”

“Otherwise,” he chuckled, his compa.s.sionate gaze somewhat cruel. 

“She wouldn’t even say a word to you and would have already driven you away with a charge of ‘hara.s.sment’.”

Sheng Jianian was stunned, and after a moment, he asked angrily, “Who hara.s.sed whom?!”

But his voice inevitably sounded somewhat guilty, and a thin blush quickly spread from his ears to his neck.

“So if you don’t want to be accused of this crime, you better behave yourself.” 

Yu Luoyin raised the corners of his mouth coldly, his black eyes sharp. 

“This way, you can still finish your paper and interns.h.i.+p experience properly and leave gracefully without making a scene.”

This was essentially a ‘threat.’

But Yu Luoyin’s aura was even more oppressive than his words, leaving Sheng Jianian speechless for a moment, feeling as if his throat was choked up.

He suddenly felt that he had been completely wrong.

To think that he sincerely believed yesterday that he was a gold digger, feeling sorry for Bai Xunyin…

Should he say he was too foolish or too naive?

Sheng Jianian’s voice was strained as he forced himself to maintain his somewhat juvenile demeanor and didn’t lower his head. 

He asked dryly, “Why do you have the right to threaten me?”

“I’m not threatening you; I’m just stating the facts.” 

Yu Luoyin said indifferently, “And besides, you’ve taken advantage of your looks quite a bit, but when I say you’re inferior to me, it’s not a lie; it’s to make you see the truth.”

Yu Luoyin smiled faintly. 

“Kid, not only do you look far inferior, but your methods are also far inferior. You’d better study hard first.”

It wouldn’t be too late to think about love and romance when you grow up.

This was a lesson Bai Xunyin had taught him, ensuring that he, who was actually full of bad intentions, didn’t go astray during his adolescence.

Now that he had the opportunity, Yu Luoyin didn’t hesitate to pa.s.s on this lesson to Sheng Jianian.

“Don’t try to interfere in other people’s relations.h.i.+ps; it won’t end well for you.” 

Before leaving, Yu Luoyin put the cigarette in Sheng Jianian’s numb mouth. 

“Young man, consider this a lesson.”
