【Host, in this part of the plot, the original character—that is, you—bought a tool that causes pain but does no real harm, just to vent his anger,】 the system explained.
Shen Yuqing looked at the black leather whip and thought, Isn’t it possible that I came here to complete a mission, not to play SM or any other kinky stuff?!
He quickly bent down to pick up the handkerchief on the floor, intending to cover the basket again, but a scene from the original novel flashed through his mind:
【Shen Yuqing’s hatred for Pei Yiyan grew stronger every day. But the rest of the Shen family liked him very much and constantly reminded Shen Yuqing to treat him well.
“Why should I?” Shen Yuqing couldn’t accept it.
On the surface, he was barely polite to Pei Yiyan, but behind the scenes, he would beat and scold him. At first, he held back a little, but as time went on, he realized that no one noticed what he was doing.
Not only that, Pei Yiyan even helped him cover it up.
Tsk, he really would endure anything just to stay.
Shen Yuqing looked down at the man handcuffed at the foot of the bed. His clothes clung tightly to his curled-up body. A ball gag had been stuffed in his mouth, making it impossible for him to make a sound.
Shen Yuqing sneered, “Disgusting.”】
Shen Yuqing felt a bit dizzy. Just a short passage, but the amount of information was overwhelming.
So the original Shen Yuqing lived with Pei Yiyan just to abuse him?!
His eyes couldn’t help but glance toward Pei Yiyan. He was still sitting calmly in his chair, leaning against the backrest, looking indifferent to whatever might come next.
The system urged,
【Host, please proceed to complete the abuse scene with Pei Yiyan.】
Shen Yuqing snapped back.
No way! This kind of perverted scene is something I just can’t do!
He was raised under the values of socialism—equality for all! Abuse is wrong!
Besides, if he really whipped Pei Yiyan, the guy would probably go dark on the spot!
Why doesn’t the system get this simple logic? Useless thing!
The system kept nagging in his head, giving him a headache. He glanced at the small basket, lifted the handkerchief, and after picking through the items, reluctantly picked up the whip.
The system cheered,
【You can do it, host!】
Shen Yuqing walked toward Pei Yiyan. The sound of his footsteps made Pei Yiyan tense slightly and grip his blind cane tighter—then he relaxed and let it fall to the floor.
Shen Yuqing stood in front of him and looked down. Just then, Pei Yiyan lifted his head.
His eyes are beautiful.
Even knowing Pei Yiyan couldn’t see, Shen Yuqing still found himself dazed for a moment.
Clearing his throat, he said,
“What are you doing sitting there?”
Pei Yiyan lightly pressed his lips together, stood up from the chair, and limped slightly as he headed toward the walk-in closet without using his cane.
Shen Yuqing followed, still holding the whip, and watched as Pei Yiyan confidently pushed open what looked like a small changing room.
When the door opened, Shen Yuqing’s eyes widened slightly.
Inside were all kinds of strange torture devices.
He looked back at Pei Yiyan—and saw that he had already started taking off his sleepwear.
Before Shen Yuqing could say anything, Pei Yiyan had neatly removed his top. Facing away from Shen Yuqing, the muscles of his back were tense, and covered with bruises in varying shades of blue and purple.
Oh god…
No wonder Pei Yiyan’s darkening level was so high.
Shen Yuqing opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but quickly shut it again.
The original Shen Yuqing must’ve been a real monster.
The system didn’t reply—just kept pushing him to complete the mission.
Pei Yiyan never said a word through the entire process. He was already used to this kind of life.
But today’s Shen Yuqing seemed different.
Normally, he’d be over here in a flash, picking out some horrible toy to torture him with.
So… what would it be today?
Whatever it was, Pei Yiyan would remember it all.
He closed his eyes, waiting for tonight’s “bedtime routine.”
The next second, he felt a push from behind. Reflexively, his hands reached out to brace against the wall.
Before the system could finish talking, Shen Yuqing was already behind Pei Yiyan. He raised his hand—and struck down hard toward Pei Yiyan’s shoulder—
The system shouted with excitement,
【Yes, host! That’s it! Hit him—eh?!】
Not only did the system freeze, but even Pei Yiyan—who had kept his eyes tightly shut—snapped them open.
He couldn’t see, but he felt everything.
From behind, a voice shouted in frustration:
“Why are your muscles so tense?!”
A pair of hands began kneading his back. Sometimes, they even pressed hard on certain acupoints.
Pei Yiyan couldn’t help letting out a low grunt.
Getting this “response,” Shen Yuqing worked even harder.
“See? I knew you were the type to bottle up your emotions!”
“Your muscles are all stiff!”
“Young as you are, what’s the point of having strong muscles if you don’t take care of yourself? When you’re old, it’s all useless!”
Shen Yuqing kept grumbling while his hands moved nonstop.
Pei Yiyan’s back was turning red, looking as if he’d been beaten up—but actually, it was from the intense massage.
Shen Yuqing was quite satisfied with his own rhythm.
Noticing Pei Yiyan’s body stiffen, he smacked him on the waist and scolded,
“Forgot what I just said, didn’t you? When you’re old, you’ll regret this! Relax!”
Pei Yiyan leaned against the mirror in the dressing room. Behind him was a teary-eyed Shen Yuqing.
He lowered his head. Parts of his back felt sore and swollen. When Shen Yuqing pressed those spots, it made him want to cry out—but he held it in… and got yelled at again.
For a moment, Pei Yiyan felt confused.
Is this some new kind of humiliation technique?
But after a while, the areas Shen Yuqing had worked on started to feel… better. As if blood was flowing again.
Shen Yuqing didn’t care what Pei Yiyan was thinking.
Right now, he was just a cold, professional massage therapist!
The system glitched for a while before finally screaming:
【Host!! What are you doing?! Aaaahhh!】
Shen Yuqing casually replied,
【Isn’t it obvious? We’re doing SM.】
SM… THIS is SM?!
The system felt like Shen Yuqing was more of a Dom than it ever could be.
It was like Shen Yuqing read the system’s thoughts. He asked,
【Did he scream just now?】
The system paused—Pei Yiyan had let out a soft moan earlier.
Shen Yuqing felt his job was done. He patted Pei Yiyan on the shoulder and said:
“Young people need to let things go. If it gets really bad, drink more warm water!”
Then he turned around and left smoothly.
Mission complete! Shen the Masseur signs off!
The system thrashed inside his mind—but for some reason, it couldn’t say a single word.
It suddenly had the terrifying realization—
This world… is doomed.
