The unattainable beauty was driven to depravity and madness by a wicked seed.

The apartment felt deserted and lifeless. The doorbell rang; the delivery guy had brought back the cleaned carpet. Shen Qinghuai laid it out, then ordered a few potted plants, including pothos and succulents, on his phone, which were delivered quickly.

He placed pothos plants in a spot where the sun couldn't reach them, and kept pink succulents on the balcony, not far from Lu Sui's recliner, so Lu Sui could see them at a glance.

But it still doesn't feel like enough. There should be more small ornaments and fluffy dolls. Should he buy these things, or should he go shopping with Lu Sui...?

The Lu family.

Lu drove the car to the door.

The driver, who had been waiting there, stepped forward, stopped him, and bowed respectfully, saying, "Young Master, let me help you drive it into the garage."

Lu Sui looked at the road that was quite a distance from the house, clicked his tongue, and refused, "No need."

The driver didn't back up, but instead took another step forward. Lu Sui glanced at him, then sneered, turned the steering wheel to the left and stepped on the gas. The driver was knocked down and fell to the ground. Before he could get up, the car reversed again, scaring him so much that he rolled to the roadside flower bed and climbed up.

The boy in the car not far away gritted his teeth.

Lu parked the car, got out, and stood aside waiting for the people who were doing the work to take everything down before driving the car into the garage.

Inside the lavish house, a crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling, extending from the fourth-floor rooftop down to the second floor. The living room is brightly lit, and three people sit on the luxurious sofa.

"Little Sui is here." Lu Yun Shen greeted Lu Sui from his seat.

"Uncle." Lu Sui nodded slightly and walked closer. "Dad, Grandpa."

Lu Huai-ren pointed to the single sofa, "Sit."

Lu Tonghai had a cane between his legs, his hands resting on it. His expression was authoritative without being angry, but he became much more amiable after Lu Sui arrived. When he saw the gifts in the people's hands, his smile deepened. "Why did you buy so many things?"

"I bought it for Grandpa," Lu Sui said.

Lu Tonghai's face crinkled with even more wrinkles as he smiled. He patted the seat next to him and said, "Sit here."

Lu Sui walked over and sat down.

"Why are you here so late?"

As he was being questioned, the living room door opened, and the boy sat down next to Lu Yun Shen. Lu Sui glanced at him casually and said indifferently, "I ran into two stray dogs on my way here. One openly blocked my way, and the other barked wildly from a distance. Otherwise, I would have arrived much earlier."

"Dogs are smart too. They know how to read people's expressions, bully the weak, and pick on the easy targets. Did you get off the bus? Don't get bitten by the dog," Lu Tonghai said.

"He didn't get out of the car and ran over the dog."

"Well done, dogs that aren't leashed should be run over."

The two kept asking each other questions, and Lu Yun Shen's smile was starting to falter. He pinched Lu Xing Chen's thigh.

Lu Xingchen hissed as he clutched his thigh, "Dad, what are you doing!"

The living room was quiet, but his exclamation drew everyone's attention. Lu Tonghai, interrupted, looked at Lu Yunshen with slight displeasure.

Lu Yun Shen slapped Lu Xing Chen's leg. "Why are you interrupting when adults are speaking?"

"What did I say? What did I say?"

"..." Idiot son, I should have worn a condom back then, it was such a pain to give birth to you.

Lu Huai Ren waved behind him, signaling them to serve the dishes. Lu Tong Hai looked at Lu Sui's profile and said with a hint of nostalgia, "You look just like your grandmother."

Lu Sui didn't know what to say, so he just hummed in response. Lu Tonghai touched his hair, and Lu Sui frowned with barely perceptible disgust.

"But your grandmother has always had black hair, she's never dyed it."

Lu Tonghai's wife passed away when he was thirty, and he never remarried. Lu Huai Ren and Lu Yun Shen were his illegitimate children, but no one outside knew about it. Everyone praised him as a devoted lover who would spend the rest of his life with his children.

"I don't like her dyeing her hair. She's always been the most obedient one." After saying that, Lu Tonghai let go of her hand, picked up his cup, and took a sip of tea.

The living room was warm, so Lu Sui took off his coat. He was wearing a long-sleeved shirt underneath. When he looked in the mirror that morning, he had a faint hickey on his neck. He wasn't sure if anyone would notice, so he simply changed into a high-necked shirt.

At the dinner table, Lu Huai-ren used serving chopsticks to pick up boneless meat from the belly of a fish for Lu Sui, his tone ambiguous, "Eat more, how come you're so thin? You'll probably be in serious trouble if you get hurt in the future."

Lu Sui's eyes showed no emotion as he placed the fish meat on the bone-spitting plate and said indifferently, "Allergic reaction."

"How come I didn't know you were allergic?" Lu Huai-ren asked.

Seeing Lu Sui eating quietly, he let out a faint chuckle, which was quite sarcastic. Perhaps he was mocking Lu Sui's childish behavior at the moment, which would not cause him any harm at all.

Lu Tonghai served Lu Sui a bowl of soup, saying, "Sui Sui, eat more. A round face is more attractive. Being too thin is not good for your health."

"Okay, thank you, Grandpa." Lu Sui took it, took a couple of symbolic sips, and then put it aside.

At nine o'clock, Lu Yunshen and Lu Xingchen helped Lu Tonghai out. Lu Sui was about to leave with his phone in his pocket when Lu Huai Ren stopped him, saying, "I heard you've been getting very close to that guy surnamed Shen lately."

"Grandpa told me to make more friends." Lu Sui didn't stop walking. "Are you spying on me because you don't have any friends? So you're preventing Mom from socializing either."

Lu Huai-ren's gentle smile gradually twisted. "She just doesn't socialize, but she has me by her side. I'll take care of everything for her. Isn't a life without worries good?"

"Go ask her, I don't know."

prick--!

"Are you sick?! How can you drive like that?! Do you have eyes on the top of your head?!" The drunk man cursed at Lu Sui's car, plopped down in front of it, and arrogantly demanded compensation. The traffic police quickly towed him away, and Lu Sui drove off.

but……

Fifteen minutes later, the drunk man sleeping on the ground reeked of an unyielding stench, while an empty surströmming can sat quietly in the bushes of the nearby flowerbed.

"Ugh, ugh... Who the hell... vomited on me..." He rolled over and was vomiting when two stray dogs appeared out of nowhere, lifted their hind legs, and peed on him. "Get out of here! Get out of here, you son of a bitch!"

……

Lu Sui opened the door and went in, habitually turning on her phone's flashlight. It wasn't dark inside; the lights were on. Shen Qinghuai was lying on the sofa. Hearing the noise, he quickly got up and walked towards Lu Sui. "Aren't you cold? It's not safe to drive at night. Next time, text me and I'll come pick you up—"

"I'm going to take a shower first."

He smells.

Shen Qinghuai followed Lu Sui to the bedroom and saw him holding a thin tube. He said, "It's a bit late today—"

"You're not allowed to refuse." If he's going to do it, he has to do it.

When Lu Sui came out, Shen Qinghuai was blow-drying his hair. Before he could finish tying it, Lu Sui tiptoed and kissed him. He put his arm around Lu Sui's waist, but then, remembering that Lu Sui didn't like being touched there, he let go and instead put his arm around Lu Sui's shoulder, bending down to let him put his feet down.

Sensing Lu Sui's slight urgency, he placed his other arm under Lu Sui's bottom and lifted him up, gently kissing Lu Sui's lips several times to comfort him, "Are you unhappy today?"
