You Ning slept until noon the next day. He woke up and stretched out in someoneâs arms, looking like a cat after a good meal and a good nightâs sleep.
Su Fu looked at the hickeys on the smooth back of his little incubus and couldnât help but rub his palm against his waist, loving the delicate feel of the skin under his palm.
You Ning grabbed the hand that was making its way around his waist and blinked, his voice soft and sticky, âProfessor, can I call you whenever Iâm hungry?â
As a man who had been seduced again and again, he naturally could not refuse, and Su Fu nodded, âYes â¦â¦â
Before the âbutâ could even come out of his mouth, the little incubusâs eyes curled up in a smile, like a poppy in full bloom, so beautiful that he knew he would be poisoned if he tasted it but still couldnât restrain himself.
However, Su Fu still had to make a point to him first: âBut you canât find anyone else.â
You Ning blinked innocently, as if he didnât understand what he meant.
Seeing this, Su Fu was both amused and annoyed. He pinched the tip of the tail that was exposed from under the quilt and said, âI can be your âfood,â but in the meantime, you can only look for me; if you donât want to continue or want to taste other foods, then we wonât see each other again. â
The meaning of this was quite understandable; he wasnât asking You Ning to reciprocate his feelings, but was willing to feed him. He had a cleanliness problem and would not allow You Ning to get a taste of other people during the time they maintained their relationship, and if You Ning finally got tired of him, then he would turn around and leave without looking back.
It was straightforward and so much to You Ningâs liking that he agreed without much hesitation.
He didnât notice that the archangelâs calm face looked slightly relieved the moment he nodded his assent.
Jones had been right for once; if he couldnât have his heart, at least he could tie this person to him.
The two didnât get cuddly in bed any more; after all, they werenât in a relationship. The little incubus was now satisfied and had no needs for the time being.
The human body that Su Fu borrowed was named Fu Yan. He was 35 years old, owned a multinational conglomerate, and was a young business emperor. Unfortunately, he was also sick and dying.
Su Fu borrowed his body and identity and promised to give him longevity in exchange. This type of deal was also commonly referred to as an âangelic favor.â There was no taking or cheating, and it was the opposite of a deal with the devil.
Of course, someone who could receive an angelâs favor had to have a clean soul and should not be a sinful person.
You Ning returned to Lu Anlanâs body and first stretched it as it had been lying on the sofa all night, then went to the bathroom to wash up.
Su Fu looked in the direction of the bathroom, took out his mobile phone, and asked someone to send two sets of clothes over.
After taking a shower, You Ning changed into the clothes that Su Fu had someone bring over, and while buttoning his shirt, he said, âWonât people misunderstand my relationship with you if they see us going out together?â
Su Fu didnât need to go to the bathroom, and he didnât want You Ning to see another manâs body, so he directly used cleaning magic and changed into a suit in a second.
He looked over at You Ningâs words. The misunderstanding You Ning was talking about was certainly not theirs, but Fu Yanâs relationship with Lu Anlan.
Before he could answer, You Ning thought of an answer by himself: âYou can take Lu Anlan as your godson, and then I can call you Daddy in the future.â
Su Fu: ââ¦â¦â
They were restricted from using their powers among humans but there was no need for that concern when it was just the two of them, so naturally, they knew everything that had happened last night.
When Su Fu took You Ning to the restaurant for lunch, the head of the clubhouse came running over with trepidation and earnestness, âMr. Fu, I just heard Xiao Li say that he saw you in the suite, but I thought otherwise. When did you return to China?â
Su Fu said indifferently, âLast week.â
The manager was about to say something else when he saw Fu leading You Ning towards the restaurant and pulling out his seat for him, and only then did he realize that there was a pretty boy following Su Fu, and he heard the boy say âThank you, Daddy,â in a pleasant voice.
Did Su Fu spend the night with him? Did he hear the commotion in the clubhouse last night? He didnât expect the big boss to be around, and the manager felt like he was going bald.
After eating, You Ning then asked Su Fu, âDaddy, where is my cat? I havenât seen it since last night.â
The corners of Su Fuâs mouth twitched when he heard this address. He called out to the manager, who had been waiting at the side, and said, âGo and find a black cat with green eyes.â
The manager looked at You Ning, who was so well behaved, and thought that this person was not simple. He had come to the room with their president and brought a pet with him, even though they didnât allow pets in the clubhouse.
But he still nodded and said, âYes, please wait a moment, Iâll send someone to find it.â
Shu Yu was about to leave work and had just arrived in the dressing room when he saw a security guard coming to him. When the guard saw that he hadnât left yet, he asked, âWhere is the cat you caught last night? The front desk said that no one brought it to them.â
Shu Yu instinctively sensed that something was wrong, and he quickly gave his answer, âI was going to send it there, but isnât there a courtyard past the tea house? I wasnât paying attention and the cat ran away. I tried to chase it but it jumped from the tree in the yard to the wall and ran away.â
The man was a bit skeptical: âReally? The guest is looking for his cat, and he will blame us if he canât find it.â
Shu Yu frowned and said, âWho was it?â
The guard sneered: âThe bossâs boy, he must be good, seeing as he was so proud and arrogant that he brought in his pet as if the reminder at the door is invisible.â
Shu Yu was puzzled, that didnât sound like Lu Anlan, so the cat wasnât his? Were they just similar?
Shu Yu remembered that when he was alone with Lu Anlan, that cat was always meowing, and it was completely different from the extremely quiet one from last night.
The security guard left without getting any more useful information, and Shu Yu opened the locker, where a dead cat was lying in a glass jar. He calmly changed out of his clothes, put the cat into a bag and then put the bag in his school bag. He washed the glass jar and put it back when he leaving work.
Over here, You Ningâs cat had returned to his side and was rubbing against his trouser leg with a sticky look that begged for a compliment.
You Ning picked it up and rubbed his fur, praising him generously.
Su Fu had driven over, and he let You Ning get into the car first and turned to the manager and said, âIn future, donât just let anyone in and donât just recruit everyone who comes.â
The manager was startled and immediately understood that the big boss actually knew everything. He nodded his head in agreement and watched his car leave.
When he returned to the clubhouse, he had the five people who were taken away by the police blacklisted and fired the foreman of the tea house as well as the tea masters and assistants who were often in the tea room of those five people. When he was done, he still felt that something was wrong, so he took the list of employees again, and the first people he crossed out were those who had been recruited in the past two days.
Shu Yu was among them.
The incident made the news, and there were photos taken at the scene, although the faces were mosaicked. The headline read, âFive young men, led by young master Shen, were arrested last night on suspicion of drug abuse.â
The photo was taken at the entrance of the club, and naturally, many sharp-eyed people recognized it, saying it was some rich people with too much money to burn. However, just as they were about to comment, the news disappeared.
Shu Yu returned home but he had not yet gotten over the shock he got at the clubhouse.
He was leaving the clubhouse and happened to glance back to see Lu Anlan coming out with a man, holding his cat in his arms.
The one bowing to the man was the general manager of the clubhouse, and the security guard said that the one looking for the cat was a young boy who had been adopted by the big boss. It was not difficult to guess that the man was the big boss, and Lu Anlanâ¦
He couldnât believe that Lu Anlan was the young boy who had been adopted and was acting arrogant!
And the cat was fine, so where did the cat he was carrying come from?
Shu Yuâs scalp was on the verge of exploding, he felt like he was carrying a ghost from a horror movie on his back.
He looked at the bag on the table and frowned, not even moving it for a long time.
âLittle Yu?â Shu Yuâs mother saw that her son had been standing by the table for a long time and asked, âWhat are you doing? Whatâs in the bag?â
She stepped forward and unzipped it with a strange look on her face. Shu Yu called out to stop her, but she had already seen the catâs corpse inside and let out a small gasp.
Shu Yuâs mother was rather timid, and her voice was trembling, âYou, why did you put a dead cat in your bag?â
At his motherâs appearance, Shu Yu first frowned habitually before looking inside the bag and saying, âI donât know, maybe someone else put it there.â
Shu Yu had encountered this kind of thing since childhood. Because of his good looks and grades, he was a particularly bright presence in the eyes of the teachers and the girls, attracting the jealousy of many boys, and some of them found ways to deal with him. It was common for him to find dead rats and cockroaches in his things, or his books and clothes soiled.
Shu Yuâs mother noticed the indifference in his words, and she calmed down and said, âMum will throw it out for you.â
Shu Yu didnât say anything else and went back to his room. He had just taken a look at the catâs corpse; it was just an ordinary black cat, although it resembled Lu Anlanâs. He figured that he had been overly worried and that this one must have happened to run into the clubhouse.
With a deep sigh, he removed his glasses and sat on the edge of the bed, pinching the bridge of his nose wearily. The most important question now was, how should he escape unscathed? He had passed by the tea room of those five people when trying to catch the cat and knew thereâd be a misunderstanding.
As for Lu Anlan, he didnât have the heart to care about it for the time being.
Three days later, several low key luxury cars were parked in front of the police station. The doors to the lobby were opened, and several young men walked out, flanked by a team of lawyers.
The police officers watched them leave unharmed, some indignant, some fawning.
When they got into the car, the young man, surnamed Shen, fondled the ring on his little finger and said in a calm tone, âGo and find out who made the tip-off. Iâd like to see who is so righteous.â
âLetâs see who is courting death.â
