He is Too Stingy, This Sand Sculpture Cannon Fodder

Shu You was dumbfounded.

They were both men. Just now, they had been through various things with Lin Mingxu, so he naturally understood what the other person meant.

With a stiff scalp and stuttering, he reluctantly said, “I-I’m afraid I won’t do it well.”

“Well, after all, in this kind of situation, you know best how to do it comfortably.”

Lin Mingxu mercilessly mocked him, “Then why were you so comfortable just now?”

Shu You remained silent.

Instantly, his face turned as red as a ripe tomato.

I can’t accept this face.

Shu You was filled with shame and anger. He rolled up his sleeves, frustrated, and said, “Alright, come on then!”

He looked like he was about to fight with an enemy.

So…

“Don’t move, let me do it.”

“Hey, don’t move. If you move, I won’t know what to do.”

“Ah, be gentle, gentle, gentle.”

If someone didn’t know, they would have thought there was a pig being slaughtered in the room.

Two hours later, a thoroughly exhausted Shu You was sent to the airport by Lin Mingxu.

Lin Mingxu personally helped him get the plane ticket and handed it to him, saying, “Go early, come back early, and stay safe.”

Shu You took the ticket, avoiding eye contact, and said, “I understand, I understand.”

As he lifted his leg to leave, Lin Mingxu suddenly said, “Shu You.”

Shu You stopped in his tracks and looked up at him.

Lin Mingxu whispered, “You won’t run away, right?”

Shu You opened his mouth and stammered, “I-if I did run away?”

Lin Mingxu’s gaze darkened. “That’s simple.”

In the bustling airport, amidst the noise and commotion, the whispers of men seemed to be within reach, resounding in his ears like thunder.

“If you run away…”

Lin Mingxu stared at him, his eyes reflecting his figure. He deliberately paused, as if it took some effort to restrain his imagination.

“I will find you.”

“I will break your legs.”

“I will lock you in the basement.”

“I will make it so that you can only see me for the rest of your life.”

“Only hear me.”

“Only speak to me.”

Shu You remained silent.

He was shocked, his eyes wide open, finding it hard to believe what he had just heard. “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll… hate you?”

“I don’t care.”

A slight curve appeared on Lin Mingxu’s lips, but his eyes remained cold, deep, and unfathomable. He calmly said, “By then…”

“You won’t be able to leave me, forever.”

Even after boarding the plane, Shu You’s mind was still buzzing.

As if it had been repeatedly struck by an eighty-pound hammer.

He didn’t expect Lin Mingxu to say such things.

Although he knew how terrifying it could be when the main character turned dark, but right now, he was the one involved.

It seemed like a tragic ending, but something felt off.

Shouldn’t these words from Lin Mingxu be said to the legitimate protagonist?

And also…

He didn’t seem to really mind if Lin Mingxu did those things to him.

The previous kiss, too. He didn’t actually dislike doing those things with Lin Mingxu.

Shu You realized that he had indeed enjoyed it.

Not the kind of simple pleasure he had given himself, but a mixture of emotions and feelings.

It felt completely different, multiplied.

And even after Lin Mingxu uttered those threatening, crazy words, he still didn’t dislike it.

In the face of such madness and terror, he was just shocked. Could it be that deep down, he was also twisted?

It’s over, it’s over, it’s over, it’s over, it’s over.

Shu You’s mind began to replay those thoughts again.

Because they needed to sign some supplementary agreements, Wu Youzhe also flew to the shooting location urgently. Shu You had been waiting at the airport for almost half a day when Wu Youzhe finally arrived.

The manager saw Shu You in a daze, walking towards him with unfocused eyes, and immediately became anxious. “Shu You, Shu You, snap out of it!”

Shu You turned his head blankly and looked at him. “Ah, Brother Wu.”

“It’s me, it’s me.”

Upon seeing that he could still recognize him and respond, Wu Youzhe breathed a sigh of relief. He asked, “Are you okay? What’s wrong with you?”

“I…” Shu You hesitated for a moment and whispered, “I’ve discovered something.”

“What is it?” Wu Youzhe asked.

“I…” Shu You paused, struggling to speak, “I think I’m a pervert.”

Wu Youzhe was taken aback and asked, “How did you come to that realization?”

“Um…” Shu You blushed slightly and casually said, “I found out unintentionally.”

“Now the question is, what should I do?” Wu Youzhe said, looking worried. He had no experience dealing with this kind of situation.

How would he know what to do when someone turned into a pervert?

Wu Youzhe furrowed his brows and suddenly noticed something. He was startled and asked nervously, “Shu You, what are the specific symptoms of being a pervert?”

Shu You hesitated and carefully answered, “Palpitations, insomnia, and frequent dreams.”

Wu Youzhe’s expression immediately turned sympathetic. “Shu You, do you grind your teeth?”

“Ah,” Shu You wondered, “I don’t grind my teeth.”

“If you don’t grind your teeth, why are your lips swollen like that?” Shu You remained speechless.

Damn it.

What does swollen lips have to do with teeth grinding?

The two of them walked side by side, and suddenly, their vision blurred as two men appeared in front of them.

Dressed in serious black suits and sunglasses, with muscular bodies and tall stature, they looked like legendary…

Shu You blurted out, “Men in black.”

Wu Youzhe rubbed his eyes and said, “Debt collectors.”

They exchanged a glance and said in unison, “Looking for you.”

Shu You “…”

Wu Youzhe “…”

The two men in suits then spoke, “Hello, are you Mr. Shu You?”

Wu Youzhe breathed a sigh of relief. It was a good thing they weren’t looking for him. But he still worried about Shu You.

Shu You was also shocked and asked, “W-Why are you looking for me?”

He blinked his eyes and said, “Just to clarify, I can’t do autographs or take photos, but exchanging contact information is fine.”

The two men in suits looked at each other and then spoke again, “Mr. Shu, that’s how it is. We were sent by Mr. Lin to take care of you.”

“Oh,” Wu Youzhe nodded, “Shu You, your boyfriend is really good to you.”

He envied and turned to look at Shu You, only to find that Shu You was frozen in place.

“Shu You,” Wu Youzhe waved his hand in front of him, “What’s wrong with you?”

Shu You stood still like a wooden chicken and murmured to himself, “I knew it.”

He knew that it wouldn’t be so easy for Lin Mingxu to let him go. There might be some other plan.

And now, there were two more pairs of eyes, four arms, and four legs all staring at him alone.

Shu You immediately felt the pressure from the darkened protagonist.

And honestly, he did consider running away again, but upon careful consideration, he chickened out.

If Lin Mingxu could find him once within 24 hours, then he could definitely find him a second time.

Who should he blame?

He could only blame Lin Mingxu for being too capable.

The two bodyguards were professional and dedicated, almost inseparable from Shu You. As the group reached the airport exit, Wu Youzhe was about to hail a taxi when the black-suited man on the left stopped him and quickly brought a black Audi.

Wu Youzhe “…”

He felt that he was a bit incompetent as Shu You’s manager.

The four of them squeezed into the car, tightly packed. The two men sat in the front, while Shu You and Wu Youzhe sat in the back.

On the way, Wu Youzhe couldn’t help but ask, “Shu You, have you reconciled with your boyfriend?”

To be able to send bodyguards for protection…

It seemed like he came from a wealthy and successful family. It made Wu Youzhe sigh with emotion.

Shu You absentmindedly replied, “Maybe.”

If they considered it a reconciliation when one side chased and the other escaped, then maybe they had reconciled.

Wu Youzhe was shocked. “Wait, let me process this for a moment.”

The two had a fight, and Shu You ran away. A strange thought came to Wu Youzhe’s mind, “Shu You, what did you do?”

Shu You looked indignant and said, “I didn’t do anything.”

“Just almost ran away with the ball.” But there was no ball, and it would be worse if there was.

Wu Youzhe “…”

He couldn’t help but frequently glance at Shu You’s belly.

They dropped off their luggage at the hotel where Shu You had stayed before, and drove to the filming location. As soon as they arrived, Duan Siqi excitedly ran over. “Shu You!”

“I’m so happy you’re back. It wasn’t in vain that I recommended you to the production team.”

Shu You asked in surprise, “You recommended me?”

Weren’t they supposed to have an internal agreement?

“Yes, it was me.” Duan Siqi chuckled, “Someone unexpectedly dropped out, so I quickly recommended you.”

That’s how it was.

Shu You was about to speak when his phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and became instantly anxious.

It was Lin Mingxu.

He quickly gave Duan Siqi a signal and discreetly moved to a quiet corner. “Lin Mingxu.”

The man’s voice sounded slightly hoarse, reminiscent of before.

Shu You blushed and shook off the wild thoughts in his mind. He coughed and said, “I’ve arrived at the filming location, and I’ve met the people you arranged.”

His tone unintentionally carried a hint of resentment. “Lin Mingxu, you don’t need to have someone specifically watch over me.”

“Is that so?” Lin Mingxu neither confirmed nor denied it. “If no one is watching over you, what if you run away?”

“I won’t run away at all, okay?” Shu You grumbled. “You’re just wasting money like this. It would be better to give it directly to me.”

He would have a strong sense of professional ethics and definitely wouldn’t run away.

Lin Mingxu remained silent.

Indeed, he was too angry at the time and forgot about this.

Shu You muttered to himself, “And look at the production team, they’ve invited so many top celebrities, and none of them have bodyguards. Only I have them. If this gets out, people will say I’m being arrogant.”

“It’s okay.” Lin Mingxu calmly said, “You work hard to become a top celebrity, and no one will say you’re being arrogant.”

Shu You “…”

His boyfriend really thought highly of him.

Shu You tried to persuade Lin Mingxu, but he refused to withdraw the bodyguards and told him one thing, “I have already prepaid their entire year’s salary. You figure it out.”

Shu You “…”

Oh no, just thinking about how much money he would spend in a year, he suddenly felt like a big capitalist.

After a pause, Lin Mingxu suddenly said, “I won’t come over these days, so don’t run around.”

Huh?

Shu You was surprised by Lin Mingxu’s unusual tone.

He hesitated and asked softly, “Lin Mingxu, is there something wrong?”

Saying such things, combined with the exaggerated bodyguards, a thought suddenly popped into Shu You’s mind. Could something have happened?

However, Lin Mingxu casually replied, “Nothing.”

He quickly hung up the phone.

That slight bit of annoyance in Shu You’s heart disappeared instantly.

Since there was a reason behind it, he wasn’t that upset anymore.

However…

Shu You looked at the two bodyguards with a hint of mischief in his eyes.

For some reason, the two bodyguards trembled.

They exchanged glances again, and the one on the left spoke, “Mr. Shu, do you have any instructions?”

“No, no.” Shu You smiled brightly. “I just wanted to ask if your security company has any package discounts or membership cards.”

The bodyguard’s eyes widened.

At that moment, Wu Youzhe came over and handed a cup of hot milk to Shu You.

Shu You instinctively took it and took a sip. “Brother Wu, why are you suddenly being so kind to me?”

Wu Youzhe nervously said, “Take it slow, don’t choke.”

He anxiously added, “I just searched online, and it’s not impossible for men to get pregnant. Please take care of yourself.”

Shu You chuckled.

He spat out the milk with shock and counter-questioned, “What kind of website were you browsing, Brother Wu?”

Wu Youzhe was stunned for a moment. “The Internet.”

“…”

It was evident that he was an experienced netizen.

Shu You was shocked and asked again, “Why do you think men can give birth?”

“Well…” Wu Youzhe’s face turned red. “It’s not that I think too much, but when I thought about it, it seemed reasonable considering it happened to you. It’s not entirely impossible.”

Shu You wondered how many stereotypes Wu Youzhe had about him.

Late at night, Lin Mingxu and Zhu Feiche got off the car and walked side by side towards the villa they were heading to.

The front gate was wide open.

The once luxurious decorations now carried a sense of desolation. Lin Mingxu walked in without hesitation, and in the living room, Lu Chenbi sat on the sofa, looking dejected.

When Lu Chenbi saw Lin Mingxu entering, he suddenly realized, “It’s you.”

“It’s all because of you,” Lu Chenbi accused.

Without looking at him, Lin Mingxu scanned the surroundings and asked, “Where is Lu He?”

“My father was admitted to the hospital.”

Lu Chenbi wiped his face, seemingly not too angry. He looked despondent and said, “You came here to enjoy the show, didn’t you? You’ve won, my family is ruined.”

“Do you have something to say? Say it quickly. I’m about to move out,” Lin Mingxu added deliberately, “Don’t imitate Shu You.”

Lu Mingxu: “…”

Zhu Feiche curiously asked, “What happened to Shu You?”

Lu Chenbi gave him a complicated look, raised his hand to mess up his own hair, and said gloomily, “Nothing, it’s just that I lost the most precious thing to me.”

Zhu Feiche was even more curious, “But you’re still alive, right? Your life isn’t at stake.”

“Yes.” Lu Chenbi nodded. “But now I feel like I’m worse off than dead. I’ve lost all hope and confidence in life.”

Zhu Feiche: “…”

For a moment, he could empathize with him.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

With Lu He absent and Lu Chenbi in this state, a random thought crossed Lin Mingxu’s mind. What would Shu You do or say if he were here?

He suddenly found the revenge scene in front of him dull.

Lu Chenbi didn’t resist at all and directly signed the documents brought by Lin Mingxu. With his objective achieved, Lin Mingxu left Lu’s residence with Zhu Feiche.

Zhu Feiche stretched lazily and casually asked, “Finally, we can take a break. Lin Mingxu, what are your plans?”

Lin Mingxu replied calmly, “I will continue working.”

“Hey.” Zhu Feiche raised his eyebrows. “Will you ever enjoy life? Oh, by the way, what about Shu You?”

Lin Mingxu suddenly smiled mysteriously and said meaningfully, “You’re right.”

“I’m going to find him now.”

Zhu Feiche “…”

Did he see it correctly?

Lin Mingxu was just laughing earlier.

It was that smile that made him feel a bit uneasy.
