I Will Feel Pain

“Hubao, I’m dirty.” Lin Xuan said, “Don’t dirty your clothes too.”

“It’s fine, we’ll sweat anyway,” Su Hua replied in all seriousness.

Lin Xuan swallowed hard.

Was this what he was thinking of?

Why did Su Hua spend the whole day thinking about *that*…

Lin Xuan’s mind wandered as he wondered how much stamina he would need to satisfy Su Hua.

“Remember, Ah Xuan, every inch of your body belongs to me. Without my permission, you’re not allowed to get hurt,” Su Hua said, her tone domineering.

“So, take care of yourself, or…”

Su Hua whispered softly, “I’ll be heartbroken.”

How could she bear to make him kneel on a washboard? That would hurt him, and she couldn’t stand the thought of it.

Dong dong dong——

Lin Xuan’s heartbeat accelerated.

Su Hua’s rare moments of sweet talk were too damn seductive.

“Ah Xuan, now you should think about how to please me,” Su Hua’s fingers traced a suggestive path across Lin Xuan’s abs.

The implications were clear.

Lin Xuan strongly suspected that Su Hua wasn’t actually angry anymore. She was just using it as an excuse to… well, *that*.

“Ah Xuan, since you’re so forgetful, today I’ll have to remind you who you belong to.”

Su Hua wrapped her soft arms around Lin Xuan’s neck, pressing her red lips to his.

She pulled out a book of *shōujo* manga from somewhere.

“Ah Xuan, there’s still a lot we haven’t tried in here. Let’s try some today…”

Lin Xuan glanced at the book while kissing Su Hua.

He: ???

When did Su Hua bring that book?

This was definitely premeditated!

The temperature in the room rose, and the atmosphere turned delightful…

—— Private room, no peeping allowed ——

Lin Xuan went into the bathroom, where the sound of water splashing could be heard.

Su Hua lay sideways on the bed in a pink satin nightgown, her cheeks still flushed, her eyes glowing with a watery sheen, looking incredibly alluring.

She picked up her phone and called the Principal.

“Ms. Su,” the Principal greeted respectfully.

“I have a few matters that need you to handle,” Su Hua said.

“Go ahead, Ms. Su.” The Principal sat upright, his face showing concern.

Was Ms. Su uncovering issues with the school that needed addressing?

Su Hua spoke calmly, “I believe students of Shangqing University should focus on their studies. Certain female students attempting to get close to the basketball team through staff positions are not acceptable. Principal, what do you think?”

The Principal let out a sigh of relief.

It was about Lin Xuan—it seemed like Ms. Su was feeling a bit jealous.

“Understood, Ms. Su. I’ll immediately replace the basketball team’s staff with males. Also, I’ll rearrange Lin Xuan’s seating, surrounding him only with male students.”

The Principal explained, “Lin Xuan is the school’s heartthrob, very popular among the female students. This arrangement will minimize disruptions for him and help other students focus on their studies.”

Basically, he would eliminate all chances of female students getting near Lin Xuan within school grounds.

“Mmm,” Su Hua smirked, “Good job. Your monthly salary will increase by 100,000, and your year-end bonus will be doubled.”

“Thank you, Ms. Su!”

The Principal’s eyes nearly closed into slits as he smiled.

Indeed, Lin Xuan was a cash cow. Clinging to his leg was always a winning strategy!

“Oh, by the way, Ms. Su, your voice sounds a bit hoarse. Are you feeling unwell? Are you still at the school? Shall I send the school doctor over to check on you?” the Principal inquired with concern.

“No need,” Su Hua replied, her lips curling into a smile.

She was just a little hoarse from a bit too much… excitement.

Su Hua ended the call.

In her mind, she recalled Lin Xuan’s dazzling figure playing basketball in the sunlight, with girls in the audience excitedly shouting about wanting to be with him.

She really wanted to keep him locked up as her pet, so no one else could covet him.

But Lin Xuan needed to live in the sunlight—she wanted to see him full of vitality.

However, if anyone dared to challenge her for Lin Xuan, she would deal with them one by one.

Su Hua’s beautiful eyes glimmered with a chilling light.

A post on the forum of Shangqing University revealed Su Hua’s confrontation with a female student at the basketball courts, prompting many girls to quietly delete their confessional posts about Lin Xuan.

A man they could never have and their own lives—they knew which to choose.

Lin Xuan’s TikTok account was quietly growing.

Many people thought that short videos had no future and overlooked them entirely.

Lin Chang, listening to Lin Qingwan’s report, frowned. “Hasn’t any novel copyright been sold on the Zhangxinbao website?”

“No,” Lin Qingwan nodded, “All offers have been rejected, no matter the price.”

Lin Chang’s brows furrowed deeper. “What’s going on? As a novel website, not selling any copyrights?”

Weren’t these websites usually eager to sell film and TV adaptations?

Such deals brought in several times the subscription revenue.

Why did Zhangxinbao refuse every offer?

Lin Qingwan frowned as well, struggling to understand.

The prices they offered were already quite high, and yet, Zhangxinbao still refused.

“Dad, this novel website has released quite a few short dramas recently. Each episode is only three minutes long and they’re all posted on TikTok. Some of these adapted novels are ones we’ve been trying to buy the rights for,” she explained.

“Stupid!” Lin Chang exclaimed, “Selling the novel rights is far more profitable than making short dramas!”

Lin Qingwan said, “Dad, I noticed some actors in these short dramas were ones we had shunned or dropped from our company.”

Hearing this, Lin Chang narrowed his eyes. “It seems TikTok isn’t here to play nice. Zhangxinbao might be in on it with them.”

“Dad, should we have someone keep an eye on them?” Lin Qingwan asked.

“No need,” Lin Chang chuckled coldly. “Our company holds the majority of the entertainment resources. What can they possibly do?”

“We’ll just wait for them to self-destruct. By then, they’ll be begging us to buy their novel copyrights!”

Lin Chang was confident. Every entertainment company that had opposed Starlight Group in the past had either gone bankrupt or struggled to stay afloat.

He didn’t believe TikTok could pose any threat to him!

At the Su family’s ancestral home.

Su Guoxiong looked at his granddaughter sitting across from him and frowned. “Dr. Sun, how is Hua’er’s health now? Is she still suffering from insomnia like before? And does she still lose control?”

Sun Que shook his head. “I haven’t been to Night Garden for a long time.”

Su Guoxiong frowned. “Why not? Didn’t I ask you to keep an eye on Hua’er’s health?”

Sun Que cautiously glanced at Su Hua.

He didn’t not want to go to Night Garden—it was that Su Hua simply wouldn't let him in.
