Chapter 258: Did We Ever Have a Relationship to Begin With?

After Jiang Junlin changed and settled down, he found himself surprisingly at ease.

Inside the dark room, there were no tools to be found. Even if he wanted to harm himself, he couldn’t find any means, let alone escape.

Ji Chi had disappeared for a few days, but finally returned to the dark room where Jiang Junlin was confined. His treatment was quite good, and fearing he might get bored, Ji Chi had prepared several books. In the past few days, Jiang Junlin could do nothing except read. As time passed, anyone would start to go insane, but Jiang Junlin remained composed, showing no signs of anxiety.

“Brother, have you come to terms with it?” Ji Chi lightly chuckled. “Did hearing the news of the resurgence of the Dark Web make you happy?”

“You intentionally had Nick leak that information to me, what do you want to do?”

“Haven’t you been pretending to be mute all this time? Giving you a bit of information from the Dark Web has given you hope, hasn’t it?”

This was the first time in two weeks that Jiang Junlin was willing to look at Ji Chi squarely.

He complained, but his tone was like a spoiled child’s. After all, he was still young, and when he looked at someone with teary eyes, it always carried a hint of tenderness and grievance, which could melt anyone’s heart.

But he was Jiang Junlin, and in his dictionary, there was no room for tenderness!

“You seem to be really happy?”

Ji Chi’s dimples appeared, somewhat hidden. “Since you can’t oppose me and can only beg me, I’m quite content.”

Jiang Junlin looked at his performance with indifference.

Ji Chi was half genuine and half pretending, not caring at all about maintaining any sense of masculinity in front of Jiang Junlin. “Brother, I’m easily appeased. Won’t you show a little tenderness?”

He seemed as malleable as water, while Jiang Junlin remained as unyielding as ice.

Jiang Junlin raised his hand, and the chains clinked. “Tenderness for you? With this much free time, I’d rather show tenderness to myself!”

Ji Chi sighed. “Who made you insist on opposing me? If you had just obeyed, I would have released you, alright?”

Jiang Junlin just looked at a little wolf in front of him, draped in rabbit fur, obedient and soft. He naturally had an innocent appearance.

Back and forth, after exchanging a few sharp words, Ji Chi said, “Brother, shall 1 shave your beard for you? It’s grown quite long in these past two weeks.”

He hadn’t shaved for half a month, and Jiang Junlin’s beard had grown pretty long.

“Hmph!”

Jiang Junlin snorted in disdain while Ji Chi eagerly grabbed shaving cream and a razor. Ji Chi was somewhat excited by this action, as it was the first time he had ever shaved Jiang Junlin.

Jiang Junlin had grown accustomed to enjoying such services. With his eyes closed, he allowed Ji Chi to assist him. The scent of the freshly showered man had a hint of coolness, a fragrance of body wash they both used, mixing with his own scent. Ji Chi applied shaving foam to Jiang Junlin’s beard and carefully began shaving.

The sensation of being groomed by someone else enthralled Ji Chi, and his dimples never seemed to disappear.

“When will you release me?” Jiang Junlin asked. “How long do you plan to keep me locked up?”

“Brother, don’t ruin the mood,” Ji Chi lightly shook his head. “The Dark Web has been activated. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?”

“Why don’t you try being locked up by me for a lifetime and see!” Jiang Junlin challenged.

“Sure!” Ji Chi’s eyes gleamed with a mischievous smile. “You can certainly give it a try!”

“Ji Chi, on the plane, 1 told you that you were different from others!” Jiang Junlin changed his strategy. If being tough didn’t work, he’d try being soft.

“What’s different about me?” Ji Chi asked.

“I looked for you back then,” Jiang Junlin said. “1 never intended to leave you behind. I knew I broke my promise, and when we reunited, I didn’t want you to recall any suffering. That’s why I’ve let you do whatever you want.”

“Did you ever ask me if I’d do the same for others?” Jiang Junlin’s voice grew cold. “What are you thinking? What information do you have that’s worth exchanging with my dignity?”

“You’re lying to me!” Ji Chi’s eyes reddened.

“I don’t lie.”

Jiang Junlin searched under the bed with his right leg, trying to find the razor. He managed to grab it and held it discreetly in his hand. However, just as he thought Ji Chi was defenseless, Ji Chi suddenly gripped his wrist tightly, causing the razor to fall near the pillow.

Jiang Junlin realized he was in trouble.

Ji Chi’s eyes instantly turned crimson. “You were deceiving me while thinking of how to counterattack. Brother, you’re a complete and utter liar.”

His tears fell onto Jiang Junlin’s face, and he gazed at Jiang Junlin with malicious intent mixed with madness. “It seems that if I don’t give you a lesson, you really don’t know how to tell the truth!”

Jiang Junlin said in a low voice, “Ji Chi, don’t go crazy!”

Ji Chi immediately grabbed two pairs of handcuffs and secured Jiang Junlin’s wrists.

“Ji Chi!” Jiang Junlin was furious. “What are you planning to do?”

Ji Chi laughed wickedly, a dangerous and crazy glint in his bright red eyes. He was like a deranged lover.

“Ji… Ji Chi…” Jiang Junlin, in an unusual display of panic, stammered, “What are you going to do?”

“I’m going to teach you a lesson!” Ji Chi’s laughter was sinister, but there was a hint of gentleness in his eyes due to nervousness. Jiang Junlin was somewhat shaken, and his legs trembled slightly from the coldness of the blade.

“Ji Chi!” Jiang Junlin angrily scolded. “You dare!”

Ji Chi laughed like a maniac. “If you dare to deceive me, what wouldn’t 1 dare to do?”

Jiang Junlin was horrified, and his spine was tingling with fear.

This was absolutely beyond his expectations, and he was caught off guard. Enraged, he couldn’t care less about the razor against his skin and threw a punch at Ji Chi.

Ji Chi was startled and feared he might actually hurt Jiang Junlin. The razor flew out of his hand, and Ji Chi took a punch, causing a mouthful of blood to spurt out. It was clear that Jiang Junlin possessed great strength. Jiang Junlin then sprang to his feet, grabbing Ji Chi by the collar.

“Do you really want to die?” His voice was hoarse from anger, and his eyes were bloodshot. Veins bulged on his temples. Ji Chi was shocked, seeing Jiang Junlin truly furious for the first time.

This was what real anger looked like from Jiang Junlin.

Ji Chi was burning with fury too. He hadn’t expected Jiang Junlin to lose control to the point where he would disregard his own safety. One wrong move, and he could have been seriously injured.

“Knowing that I’m insane, why did you lie to me?” Ji Chi’s eyes were red.

Jiang Junlin, in a fit of anger, spoke without thinking, “Why should 1 coddle you? What gives you the right? Just because you locked me up in a dark room and tormented me?”

This statement struck a sensitive nerve in Ji Chi. Both of them dropped their facades, revealing their true selves.

“Yes, you’re noble, and I’m lowly. You’re a star in the sky, and I’m the mud on the ground. Yet, I insist on tormenting you,” Ji Chi said with a trace of blood still on his lips. He seemed torn apart, suspended in mid-air, consumed by obsession, and he gritted his teeth, “In this lifetime, I, Ji Chi, will mutually torment you to death. This is the debt you owe me!”

Ji Chi acted as if he had gone mad, shouting, “Nick!”

Jiang Junlin had a foreboding feeling. “What are you going to do?”

Dealing with Ji Chi for so long, Jiang Junlin knew how his madness could take hold. Regrettably, he was a prisoner, and he couldn’t resist.

Ji Chi, in his madness, was utterly uncontrollable.

He held Jiang Junlin down and continued to pierce his skin repeatedly, inscribing two characters.

The pain of getting a tattoo is hard for ordinary people to endure, and Jiang Junlin’s forehead was covered in a thick layer of sweat. He could bear the physical pain, but what he couldn’t endure was this prolonged torment.

Veins bulged on Jiang Junlin’s forehead as his emotions spiraled out of control. Ji Chi, this little wolf, had finally torn away his disguise, and he genuinely wanted to kill him.

“Ji Chi, you’re doomed!” Jiang Junlin said coldly. “Our relationship is over!”

“Hahaha….” Ji Chi laughed through his tears, asking with bitter irony, “Did we ever have a relationship to begin with?”
