The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 178 Jealousy
The nights in this world have become extremely long.

It seems to conceal too many secrets and incorporate the desires of too many people.

Humans always indulge in the darkness. Under the cover of darkness, the emotions, desires, and impulses that are usually suppressed run wild like untamed horses.

Eventually, everything returned to calm...

Lan Yin, wearing a bathrobe, walked out of the bathroom.

He has a habit of taking a shower every morning after exercising. Even though he is now in the observation room of the rehabilitation center, he still maintains a strict aristocratic lifestyle.

Warm water droplets dripped down the ends of the blue hair, lingered briefly in the hollow of the man's collarbone, and finally disappeared into the loose collar of his yukata.

Lan Yin stood in front of the mirror, carefully examining himself. His fingertips gently traced the mirror's surface, and the cool touch made him squint slightly.

The person in the mirror had black eyelashes that shimmered under the overhead light, and their usually aloof, transparent eyes now revealed a hint of relaxed languor.

He unbuttoned his bathrobe, revealing a new pale green mark on his lower abdomen. The tender green sprout was delicate and adorable, stretching out soft branches that intertwined with his original blue gemstone, creating a strange and beautiful sight.

In the past, even he himself couldn't have believed that one day he would become someone's possession.

Although Lan Yin was also a Sentinel, his noble birth and high-level mental strength placed him at the very top of the pyramid. He never imagined that he would be completely marked, possessed, or even branded from the depths of his soul by someone.

very nice--

The man murmured, his fingertips brushing against the mark, causing a slight shiver to run through his body…

His most vulnerable spot was leashed, the other end of which was firmly held in that person's hand.

That way, all she has to do is beckon him, and he'll crawl to her feet without hesitation.

—What a loser.

Lan Yin in the mirror suddenly smiled, her eyes honestly radiating an unprecedented satisfied curve.

At that moment, a voice came from the monitor in the observation room.

"Your Highness, we have a guest."

Lan Yin stopped his reverie, the smile fading from his eyes. He continued to tidy himself up and replied, "Let him come over."

"Yes."

Because he was almost infected by the source of pollution at Nidman Manor, Lan Yin began a month-long observation period during which he was unable to leave the manor.

He was under close 24-hour surveillance. Not only was he fitted with an electric shock collar, but a program was also installed at the terminal to detect the concentration of contamination. As soon as the contamination level rose to a certain concentration, these devices would sound a sharp alarm and quickly subdue him!
This observation room is located on the 52nd basement level of the White Tower. It was originally a temporary rest stop for an officer, but has now been converted into his residence.

Before they moved in, the servants had already cleaned the room spotlessly, and all the toiletries had been replaced with the ones Lan Yin usually used. Even the bed sheets were exactly the same as those in the Duke's mansion.

If the bathroom weren't so small, Lan Yin felt that living here wouldn't be a big problem.

When Caesar stormed in, Lan Yin was already dressed and leisurely sitting by the window drinking tea. "Why did the central government approve your in-depth guidance?!" Caesar roared as soon as he entered.

Lan Yin was already used to his friend's temper. Faced with such an impolite question, he didn't even frown. Instead, he slowly poured a cup of tea for the angry Caesar.

"You're so irritable today. You must be thirsty. Come and have a drink with me." He pushed the spare cup towards him. "We only have these right now, so please make do with them."

"Get out! Who wants to drink this stuff!" Caesar impatiently waved the cup away, and the freshly brewed black tea spilled out, spreading across the floor. The porcelain cup rolled to the side, making a crisp sound.

"Why are you so agitated?" Her good intentions were ignored, but Lan Yin didn't get angry. Instead, she calmly wiped the water splashed on her hands. "I'm mentally corrupted and need deep-seated guidance. Isn't that perfectly reasonable?"

"Bullshit!" Caesar interrupted him, his golden lion eyes blazing with fury. "You shameless bastard, if you need deep-seated therapy, go home and do it. Why did you specifically ask your precious son to do it for you?!"

So that's what it was for—

Lan Yin glanced at him lightly and smiled meaningfully, "Your information network is really good."

"So it's true!" Caesar's pupils suddenly contracted to slits, and his knuckles cracked as he clenched his fists.

Before receiving the news, he didn't believe it and thought it was absurd. Even if Lan Yin was injured, how could the White Tower approve a guide who was still a student to do deep counseling for him?
Besides, Chris's family already has private guides, so why go to the trouble of borrowing one from the academy?

Beasts in melee combat have very accurate intuition, and sure enough, Caesar completely lost his composure after seeing the guide's name...

"Aren't you abusing your power?!" Caesar suppressed his anger and questioned through gritted teeth, enunciating each word clearly.

Because sentries cannot harass guides privately, and even terminal messages are prohibited, the Guide Academy's signal will only be partially activated during specific time periods, such as during league matches.

Therefore, he wanted to ask Lin Nan, but he couldn't, so he could only come to Lan Yin.

“That’s a very problematic question.” Unlike Caesar’s exasperated temper, Lan Yin was unusually patient today. “The reason I need Lin to help me sort things out is naturally because—I’m her personal sentinel…”

As he spoke, he reached up and gently lifted the hem of his shirt, revealing the blue gemstone at his navel. Below the gemstone, a familiar green sprout mark stood out conspicuously.

"..."

Kaiser's gaze was fixed on the green sprout mark on Lan Yin's abdomen. The mark was glowing slightly with Lan Yin's breathing, as if mocking his loss of composure.

An unnamed flame began to burn within him, and he suddenly grabbed Lan Yin by the neck, slamming him against the wall.

"You despicable thing!" he shouted in a fit of rage, his words becoming increasingly indiscriminate.

Because he was temporarily assigned a task by his family, he only attended the morning session of the Duke of Nieder's banquet and left in the afternoon by private plane, thus escaping the crisis.

He knew that many people were trapped in the manor, including his childhood friend. By the time he finished dealing with his business and rushed back, the contaminated area had already been recovered.

So he naturally didn't know what happened inside; he only knew that his friend was injured and sent to a rehabilitation center for observation.

He and Lan Yin grew up together, and Caesar knew Lan Yin's strength very well. He knew that even if this guy was cut into pieces, he wouldn't die. So he wasn't worried at all about anything happening to him.
