Despite the government’s numerous attempts to clamp down on such auctions, certain activities were not within their reach. In a dimly lit bar, a crowd of people gathered. Each person in that crowd was there to outbid the other, in order to become Lin Hua’s first sexual partner.
Many people fervently bid in the auction for Lin Hua’s first night as he is not only attractive, but he awed the crowd with a song he had just performed.
Shen Yi remained silent at the start of the auction. He was waiting for Shen Jiajia to make her first bid.
Shen Jiajia yelled out, “One hundred thousand.”
Immediately, Shen Yi raised the bid, “One hundred and fifty thousand!”
The crowd roared out in surprise. Their eyes drifted towards a dark corner in the bar, where a teenager sat composedly. They were mesmerised by Shen Yi’s glistening eyes and delicate features. In their mind, Shen Yi is even more alluring compared to Lin Hua, who is currently on the stage trying to sell his virginity.
When Shen Jiajia realised that it was Shen Yi who was bidding against her, she glared at him and shouted “I’ll pay one hundred and sixty thousand”
“Two hundred thousand.” Shen Yi countered.
‘Do you have as much money as me?’ thought Shen Yi to himself. Although the purpose of his marriage to Lu Yunbo is merely to obtain a marriage certificate, but the reason why he even agreed to such a marriage in the first place is because the Shen family’s patriarch agreed to compensate him with a lot of money.
On the other hand, Shen Jiajia is solely relying on her allowance, which she had diligently saved up over time. Therefore, Shen Yi was of a different league compared to Shen Jiajia when it comes to money.
Shen Jiajia bit her lower lips and whimpered, “I, I …”
Shen Yi didn’t hesitate to raise his bid, “I’m offering two hundred and fifty thousand.”
Shen Jiajia knew that she could no longer continue bidding. Firstly, she didn’t have enough money to raise the bid, and secondly, she knew that she couldn’t compete with Shen Yi in terms of wealth.
Shen Jiajia walked towards Shen Yi and scowled at him. Her pretty face was flushed red in anger. She whispered, “What the hell do you think you are doing? Don’t forget your status, you’re a married man.”
Shen Yi lifted his head and stared at her. “What? Can you speak louder?”
Although she is disgusted by Shen Yi, Shen Jiajia didn’t dare to raise her voice. Every member of the Shen family will be in trouble if Shen Yi is caught in a bar trying to buy another man’s virginity.
“Please don’t implicate the Shen family.”
Shen Yi laughed, he fixed his twinkling eyes on her and said, “Who dictates that I must sleep with him if I buy him? Can’t we sit in bed and chat?”
“You threw away two hundred and fifty thousand just to find a man to chat with you?”
“Yes, because I have too much money.”
Shen Jiajia got so angry that she was puffing air through her nose. The novel’s male lead or heroine did not impress Shen Yi. Instead, he was filled with sympathy for Lu Yunbo.
When other readers were pouring their hate and attacking Lu Yunbo, he even argued with them to defend the latter. Shen Yi had an inkling that this is the actual reason he transmigrated into the current Shen Yi.
“Great. Just great. I’ll just wait and see.” Shen Jiajia stormed off.
Shen Jiajia and Shen Yi can’t stand the sight of one another as they were merely half-siblings. Moreover, the original owner is not easy to be dealt with. He didn’t have a good relationship with any of the Shen family’s legitimate children, and he would always pick fights with them whenever he sees them.
In the novel, before his marriage to Lu Yunbo, Shen Yi tirelessly pursued after Lin Hua. It wasn’t because Shen Yi liked or loved him. Instead, Shen Yi did it just because he was Shen Jiajia’s boyfriend.
After his marriage, even when he was pregnant with a baby, Shen Yi continued his pursuit of Lin Hua. Although at first, his purpose was merely to irk Shen Jia but later, it was because he fell in love with Lin Hua.
However, Lin Hua never accepted or returned Shen Yi’s feelings. In his short and brief life, Shen Yi wrote thousands of letters expressing his love for Lin Hua which disgusted Lin Hua. Whenever he receives one of the thousands of love letters written by Shen Yi, he would burn the letter without taking a single glance of its contents.
Meanwhile, Lu Yunbo became resolute in killing Shen Yi because of this heap of love letters and Shen Yi’s unexplained pregnancy.
When Shen Yi settled the bill, the bar’s manager brought Lin Hua to a room to wait for Shen Yi.
How would Lin Hua respond now that he had spent so much money to buy his body? It will definitely be more entertaining compared to Shen Jiajia’s reaction.
Today was a bad day for Shen Yi and as such, he was determined to have some fun.
Shen Yi walked towards the room while being physically supported by Cui Hao. Cui Hao muttered into Shen Yi’s ears, “Are you alright? You can’t even stand properly. Did you have too much fun before this?”
Shen Yi ignored him. Cui Hao leaned towards him and said with a grin, “Remember that you are a third gender. You need to be careful not to get yourself pregnant.”
Shen Yi angrily replied, “When it comes down to getting pregnant, it would be me impregnating the other person.”
“Hahaha. You are still so naïve and adorable, don’t forget Lin Hua is not a third gender. Even if you shagged Lin Hua to death, he will not get pregnant. Besides, how can you be the top? Will you be able to perform with that small body of yours?”
Shen Yi is slightly repulsed by the idea of sleeping with another man despite that in this world, marriage between men is legal and the existence of a third gender is accepted. It is because he is unwilling to be the bottom, even though he had already bottomed for Lu Yihan!
“What about my small body? I just spent two hundred and fifty thousand. Wouldn’t it be my turn to fool around with him?”
“Right, go fool with him. Enjoy yourself!” Even though Cui Hao said this, he refused to accept that Shen Yi is going to be the top.
When they arrived at the room, Shen Yi suddenly asked, “Uhmm, do you have any contraceptives?”
Cui Hao thought to himself, ‘ I knew it will turn up this way.’ He replied with a smile, “Why would I have something like that? It’s a prohibited item. It will be fine if you get him to wear TT <sup>1</sup> . Besides, you won’t be able to get pregnant even if you have sex for more than 8 times. The risk of getting impregnated is too low. And if you did get pregnant, wouldn’t it be better? Think about it. Not only will it disgust the Shen family, but maybe, for the sake of the baby, Lin Hua will stay with you.”
Shen Yi pushed him away, “What do you know.”
“Yes, yes, I don’t know anything”. As he opened the door, he smiled cheekily and said, “Young Master Shen, go ahead.”
Shen Yi opened the door and entered the room. With each step taken, he feels as if he was slowly losing control over his legs.
Lin Hua was sitting on the bed when Shen Yi walked into the room. He immediately noticed Shen Yi’s pale face and stumbling weak legs. After a few steps, Shen Yi instantly took a seat on the sofa.
Shen Yi bit his lips slightly as if he were trying his best to endure the situation.
Lin Hua stood up. He carried a glass of water with both hands, which he took from the table and offered it to Shen Yi, “Drink some water.”
Shen Yi felt somewhat touched since, from the beginning till the end of the novel, Lin Hua’s attitude toward Shen Yi was rather awful. Yet he doesn’t blame Lin Hua as both of them are very different from one another. Lin Hua is an ambitious and hardworking young man who excelled in terms of studies and personality. On the other hand, the original Shen Yi stood out for being a debauched troublemaker.
‘It was worth spending the two hundred and fifty thousand, even his attitude has improved.’ Shen Yi was very satisfied with the change in Lin Hua. He took a sip of water and deliberated on what to say.
Lin Hua didn’t give Shen Yi a chance to speak when he said, “Well, let me take a shower first.”
