Chapter 46

“I’ve arranged for a psychologist to visit Yueyue. She’s currently in an unstable emotional state, and the HR department has already granted her leave.” Li Mu rubbed his eyes wearily as he spoke to Bi Yuan.

“Have Ah Shi clean up everything online. Clean up as much as possible, and I’ll handle the rest.” Bi Yuan’s expression was also grim, but despite discussing the Zhou Lanyue scandal with Li Mu, his fingers kept flipping through his phone.

In recent days, Bi Yuan and Li Mu had been personally handling the matter of Zhou Lanyue being secretly photographed. In other companies, if an employee’s personal behavior caused a public relations controversy, the company would typically dismiss the employee to resolve the issue. However, for them, this matter was not merely a question of personal reputation; it concerned the entire studio.

Under Li Mu’s management over the years, the studio had begun to make a name for itself in the industry, with steady growth in performance. Though Bi Yuan did not directly intervene in management—he was more of a financial backer—he had witnessed his friend’s efforts and dedication. The incident involving Zhou Lanyue being secretly photographed seemed like a simple personal matter, but after the BBS post was exposed, with the leakage of Zhou Lanyue’s inappropriate photos and videos, there were also some posts targeting the studio’s employees and leadership style that followed suit to capitalize on the attention.

Li Mu initially wanted to retain the evidence and hand it over to the police, but Bi Yuan suggested handling it privately through other means. “These bastards are trying to use this opportunity to undermine the studio. It’s possible that the incident involving Yueyue was also a malicious act by competitors. Handing these matters over to the police would only result in arresting the person who took the photos and posted them…” Lighting a cigarette for himself, Bi Yuan finally put down the phone he had been staring at for a long time, stretched his arms, and leaned back on the sofa.

“Illegal filming and dissemination of obscene videos: administrative detention for fifteen days during the investigation, with sentencing determined based on the severity of the case after the facts are established. How many years could that sentence be? If those bastards did it on purpose, they could just slip some money inside, and they’d be out in a few months. Would the matter be resolved then?” Bi Yuan cursed angrily, venting his frustration over the situation.

“Besides, what did Yueyue do wrong? If I don’t take care of those bastards, I won’t be able to swallow my anger.” Zhou Lanyue had seen those photos. They were the kind of photos that, even with pixelation, made it clear how unspeakable the original images were. If someone claimed they were accidentally discovered by a drone enthusiast who happened to capture someone engaging in car sex late at night, he wouldn’t believe it for a second.

Knowing he couldn’t persuade him, Li Mu remained silent. It made sense for Bi Yuan to want to handle this privately. The malicious competition among peers, using a young girl as a scapegoat, was indeed a cruel and despicable tactic that couldn’t be resolved openly. But watching him vent his anger and frustration, then pick up his phone and flip through it restlessly, Li Mu couldn’t help but ask him, “You’ve been staring at your phone all morning. What else is bothering you?”

“Nothing,” Bi Yuan was reluctant to tell Li Mu about some things, but then he thought better of it and leaned in to ask, “…Has Xu Yang been communicating with you much about work lately?”

Originally, Li Mu thought Bi Yuan was upset or restless because of something else, but it turned out to be about Xu Yang. He immediately adopted an impatient expression: “I just don’t understand what you’re…”

Before Li Mu could finish his sentence, Bi Yuan saw Li Mu’s lecturing expression and immediately snapped, “Li Mu, are you jealous of my happiness?” After saying this, Bi Yuan stood up to leave, but was stopped by Li Mu. But you need to know what your relationship is based on!“ Li Mu quickly walked to the office door, looked outside, closed the door, and whispered through gritted teeth, ”Your relationship with Xu Yang is good now, but have you considered Xu Yang’s thoughts? His sexual orientation, his attitude toward you, and whether he likes you as much as you like him?”

Li Mu didn’t want to say these things. He had known Bi Yuan for so many years, growing up together since childhood. It was rare to see a good friend care so much about someone else. Li Mu also hoped he could find a good partner, but some things Bi Yuan was too close to see clearly. As an outsider, Li Mu felt he had to remind him.

A barrage of explosive questions left Bi Yuan speechless, unable to utter a single word of rebuttal. But Li Mu didn’t stop there, questioning him with a sharp tone: “You know it’s wrong to say that about Yueyue, but what about Xu Yang? If one day the videos you took of him were leaked to the public, how would others view him, how would they comment on him? Even if you have feelings for him, how would he see you then?”

“Yueyue’s situation is a wake-up call.”

Bi Yuan wanted to refute, but the words stopped at his lips, and he had no grounds to continue. What Li Mu said was not wrong, but Bi Yuan stubbornly refused to back down. “I can handle my own affairs,” he said, pushing Li Mu aside to open the office door. As he left, he muttered under his breath, “Those videos won’t have a chance to get out.”

Li Mu’s words struck every word and sentence into Bi Yuan’s heart, like a great bell, clanging heavily against his chest. These past few days, he had been busy handling Zhou Lanyue’s affairs and hadn’t had much opportunity to contact Xu Yang. Today, after finally making some progress on the matter, he sent Xu Yang a message early in the morning asking if he wanted to have dinner together that night. But by now, there had been no response, and this left him feeling increasingly frustrated.

Taking off his headphones, Xu Yang rubbed his buzzing ears and sore neck. He hadn’t slept well in the past few days, and the two acupoints where his head and neck connected were sore and painful, causing him to have a headache for several days.

School had already started several days ago, and in the past few days, Xu Yang had been going to school early in the morning and reporting to Bi Yuan’s studio at 3 PM sharp every afternoon. In recent days, Bi Yuan had been busy handling Zhou Lanyue’s affairs and had almost no time to find him. When the two met in the studio, they would just exchange a simple greeting and nod, and he would rush to organize music materials for Li Mu.

After eating lunch at home today, Xu Yang lay in his room, his mind filled with chaos that had kept him from sleeping soundly these past few days. He kept hearing some unpleasant remarks about Zhou Lanyue’s explicit photos. The public opinion was almost entirely against her, blaming her for the exposure of such photos and videos, accusing her of being immoral.

Those harsh words made Xu Yang feel suffocated, and every time this happened, he couldn’t help but think about the two inappropriate videos he had once filmed. Those videos were like a time bomb, ready to explode at any moment.

In his dream, he felt someone touching him, directly touching his thigh, causing an itch. He wanted to pull his leg away but couldn’t muster the strength, and couldn’t even open his eyes.

“Would it feel better with your eyes covered?” Bai Yuan’s voice reached Xu Yang’s ears, startling him so much he wanted to jump up, but his body was completely immobilized, leaving him at the mercy of the unseen person’s hands.

Everything was pitch black before his eyes. Xu Yang could keenly feel that something soft was covering his eyes, carrying the faint scent of perfume from Bi Yuan’s body, which smelled pleasant. But he instinctively wanted to escape, to shake off the thing covering his eyes. Xu Yang began to feel confused. Mr. Bi was standing by the bed, but whose hands were those touching him on the bed?

He considered the possibility that the hands touching him erotically belonged to a stranger, not Bi Yuan! “Mr. Bi… I… I don’t want to do this…” He wanted to reach out and tear off the cloth covering his eyes, to tell Mr. Bi that he didn’t want to have sex with someone else!

But before his hand could touch the soft cloth over his eyes, it was enveloped by a pair of large hands. His body, which had just begun to sit up, was pressed back onto the bed. The hands roaming over his body were large and strong, easily able to grip both his wrists together. Xu Yang was terrified. He began to twist his body violently to escape the stranger’s touch, but the man seemed to read his intentions instantly. He freed one hand and reached directly between Xu Yang’s legs, easily grasping his vulnerable area and shaking it erotically, moving it up and down.

Pleasure surged up from his lower body. The stranger’s hand seemed coated with something, exceptionally sticky and slippery, pressing against his penis, hot and smooth, rubbing and stroking it up and down, causing Xu Yang’s struggling body to grow limp again and again.

“Stop, stop, I don’t want this…” He was about to cry, but his choked voice was mixed with moans of extreme pleasure, a sound that combined the shame of being toyed with by a stranger with the pleasure of it, both shameful and pleasurable.

He desperately wanted Bi Yuan to stop, to make the person who was doing whatever he wanted to him stop, but Bi Yuan seemed to ignore his pleas, continuing to fiddle with his camera with eager enthusiasm. Xu Yang could even hear the sound of the camera zooming in and out. What was even more terrifying was that when the sound of the machine operating mixed with the sound of lubricant being applied to his genitals, it created a perverse sense of excitement.

Bi Yuan seemed satisfied with Xu Yang’s current state—his legs spread wide, his genitals being toyed with, and from the camera’s monitor, he could vaguely see the wrinkled area between his scrotum and the crease of his buttocks. “Doesn’t that feel uncomfortable? Your thing is sticking up so high… I’m going to fuck you in the ass later.”

Soon, Xu Yang’s thighs were forced apart, and he was pinned down. This position left him unable to struggle. He tried to kick the person holding him, but he couldn’t find a foothold and couldn’t generate any force. He could only let his buttocks be forced open by this action, exposing the place that had been forced open and penetrated by the wall to another person.

Unable to struggle or resist, he felt a soft tongue licking up and down the opened crease, the tip teasing the tightly closed folds. Xu Yang finally couldn’t bear it anymore and screamed, tears quickly soaking the soft cloth covering his eyes, sticking wetly to them.

This was the consequence of agreeing to star in a gay adult erotic film. To obtain thirty thousand dollars, he had already sold his body and dignity long ago, leaving no room for negotiation or struggle! All the speculation and contingency plans he had made in recent days were of no use.

His buttocks were being licked repeatedly, becoming wet and slippery. The itching spread like an infectious disease from his anus into his intestines, then rapidly throughout his entire body, causing him to involuntarily contract and spasm. Even just being licked like this made him want to scream in ecstasy.

This feeling was too terrifying for Xu Yang to bear. When he was penetrated, he could only scream and cry, each thrust like a steady drizzle. A thick object was shoved into his buttocks, constantly thrusting into his body. He could even feel the coarse pubic hair of the person rubbing against his anus as the entire length was swallowed into his buttocks, so itchy, so irresistible.

His nostrils were filled with the scent of perfume from Bi Yuan’s body, making Xu Yang feel a bit dazed. He seemed to hear Bi Yuan’s heavy breathing echoing in his ears, and even heard Bi Yuan biting his ear and whispering, “Don’t think… don’t think…” so gently, just like that night at Bi Yuan’s house.

The thing inside him was still thrusting, each stroke feeling like it was about to pierce him through, so fast and so powerful. Those fiery hands moved down from his knees, gripping his waist, then sliding up to pinch the flesh on his chest, using their thumbs to massage his nipples.

The breathing in his ears was so familiar that Xu Yang couldn’t help but think: the one having sex with him was actually Mr. Bi… At that thought, Xu Yang’s entire body trembled with excitement, his intestines contracting involuntarily, sucking that thing deeper…

At the moment of climax, Xu Yang seemed to regain his hands and consciousness, tearing off the soft cloth covering his eyes. He cautiously opened his eyes, wanting to confirm whether the man who had fucked him until he couldn’t help but ejaculate was Mr. Bi, but the man’s face was blurry. No matter how hard he blinked, he couldn’t see clearly. Only the strands of semen he had ejaculated onto his abdomen were sharp and glaring.
