It's been raining these past few days, and the air is filled with a damp smell.

Song Yunqi has been in Haishi for two whole weeks, during which time Shen Chonglu has almost gone crazy.

She asks him countless times a day when he's coming back, whining and complaining about missing him. Young people are really like dogs in this regard, with severe separation anxiety. Even video chatting with each other every night doesn't help.

Song Yunqi also longed for Shen Chonglu's health.

There aren't enough videos.

But with the bigger picture in mind, he could only grieve while patiently comforting Shen Chonglu.

During this period, the entire professional team of the Song Group arrived and worked as quickly as possible to completely revitalize the mess that was Lantou Technology.

The accounts were settled quickly, and most assets and personnel have entered the restructuring phase.

In the past two weeks, apart from handling official business, Song Yunqi spent almost all her time on custom equipment.

He spent a fortune to have a state-of-the-art miniature camera built.

After repeated adjustments and optimizations, the object was finally cleverly disguised as a pure-colored obsidian earring with hand-carved facets that perfectly concealed the pinhole-sized nano-lens in the very center.

To avoid arousing suspicion, Song Yunqi and Chen Han maintained frequent contact.

Almost every two days, he would use the excuse of "follow-up cooperation with Blueprint Technology" or "reward for the Haishi project" to invite Chen Han out for dinner and entertainment.

And without exception, the second half of each dinner party was always held at Pink Mansion.

Chen Han was a womanizer, and when Song Yunqi suggested going out for some entertainment without him having to pay, he was naturally overjoyed and lived a very comfortable life.

Her body, already weakened by alcohol and sex, was in a complete mess.

Every time Song Yunxi entered the Pink Mansion, she would always request only one person as her companion.

Su Shen, codenamed 330.

In just two weeks, Su Shen's condition has changed noticeably.

Without the constant physical pain, and with Song Yunqi having specifically instructed the mansion's manager that she disliked skin with blemishes and had paid a high price for Su Shen's treatment, Su Shen was finally freed from the constant pain.

Now, the hideous whip marks and burns on Su Shen's body have begun to scab over and fall off, revealing his originally fair and delicate skin.

His sickly appearance, caused by long-term malnutrition and despair, has finally recovered some of the youthful vigor and spirit that a twenty-year-old should have.

Although Song Yunxi came often, she never did anything for Su Shen, nor would she do anything, except occasionally let him massage her.

But he knew the rules of places like Pink Mansion very well.

If you only book Su Shen but don't let him stay overnight, he can be assigned to other guests as soon as you leave.

Song Yunqi felt sorry for this young man struggling in dire straits and hoped that his life could be a little more comfortable. So, after each time he finished his entertainment, he would stay overnight at the mansion and then tell Chen Han to leave first.

"Mr. Chen, you should go back now."

"Thanks to you for bringing me to this great place. It's a pity I'm going back to Beijing in a couple of days. I'm definitely going to have a blast. I'll stay here tonight."

As a fellow man, Chen Han naturally understood.

After all, this was paradise. It was normal to get addicted after the first time you came across it. He once stayed in the mansion for half a month straight before leaving. So, he understood and left without a second thought.

After Chen Han left, Song Yunxi left behind a staggering amount of renewal fees, essentially booking Su Shen's entire night.

With the heavy soundproof door closed, the room, which housed only the two of them, became Su Shen's temporary refuge.

Song Yunqi had no intention of chatting with him. She calmly loosened her tie and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

Su Shen stood alone in the center of the luxurious suite, listening to the sound of running water coming from the bathroom, not knowing where to put his hands and feet.

Every room in this old house was an execution ground for him, but now, the air was free of that nauseating coercion and brutality; only the refreshing moisture belonging to another man filled the air.

A short while later, Song Yunxi came out of the bathroom in her pajamas.

He walked straight to the table by the window, opened his laptop, and began to focus on his work as his long, slender fingers tapped lightly on the keyboard.

A serious man is always the most charming. The warm yellow light shone on the profile of his face, making him less sharp in the business world and more calm and captivating.

Su Shen stood not far away, watching quietly, his palms sweaty.

He was eager to do something for his benefactor, but he was also afraid that his clumsiness would annoy the other person.

He shifted his feet awkwardly in place, his gaze sweeping around the room before finally settling on the tea table in the corner.

His eyes lit up, and he tiptoed over.

He picked up the kettle and filled it with purified water. Even though he knew the mansion was very well cleaned, while waiting for the water to boil, he still carefully rinsed the fine porcelain cups three times with boiling water before stopping.

After all, this place was too dirty and unworthy of the clean and noble Song Yunqi.

"Please have some tea."

Su Shen gently handed the freshly brewed teacup to the young man with both hands, her voice soft and gentle, as if afraid of disturbing his thoughts.

Song Yunqi looked up from the screen and glanced at the steaming tea in her cup. The seriousness that had been building up in her phoenix eyes due to work slowly faded, and she became much gentler.

He reached out and picked up the cup, running his fingertips along the rim of the glass.

"Thank you." He smiled slightly.

Su Shen nodded, somewhat flattered.

Seeing Song Yunqi's friendly attitude, he became a little bolder.

When Song Yunqi finished working late into the night and was about to finish washing up, Su Shen had already wrung out a clean, warm towel in the bathroom and even neatly squeezed toothpaste onto the toothbrush.

Song Yunxi walked into the bathroom and raised an eyebrow slightly as she looked at the neatly arranged items on the washstand.

"So enthusiastic?"

Song Yunxi took a towel and wiped her hands, then casually said something.

Su Shen stood by the door, somewhat embarrassed, and nervously tugged at the hem of his clothes.

"When I was in school, I often helped my professor and roommates by fetching water and buying meals..."

"They all know that my family is not well-off, and they take good care of me. They give me double the money as a delivery fee. I know that they are trying to help me."

After hearing this, Song Yunxi didn't say anything more, but simply handed him a clean blanket.

"You'll have to make do with sleeping on the sofa. I'm a germaphobe and I'm not used to sleeping with other people."

After saying that, fearing the other party might misunderstand, he quickly added:

"But don't overthink it, I'm not targeting you, it's just a personal habit."

Su Shen didn't think much of it. Even if Song Yunxi confessed that she disliked him, he wouldn't be upset, since that was the truth.

For him, sleeping on the sofa, or even the floor, would be a luxury, let alone sleeping on the sofa.

Because the mansion has the most guests at night, he usually doesn't get a chance to sleep until all the work is finished.

Moreover, for convenience, the sofa in the room is large with thick, soft cushions, which can easily serve as a comfortable small bed. It is more than enough for an adult man to lie on without feeling cramped.

Su Shen knew very well that an overnight stay at the mansion cost at least 100,000 yuan, and his benefactor was paying real money for his rest time, so he had to repay his benefactor properly.

Therefore, he will definitely do whatever his benefactor asks him to do.

Looking at Song Yunqi's slender and graceful body under the lamplight, and at the restrained yet considerate care she provided, Su Shen's eyes filled with even deeper emotion and admiration.
