Ji Ran was awoken by a ringing beside his ear.

Wait a minute, where did this ringtone come from?

He woke up groggily and reached out his arm to pick up the phone. His arm had only just lifted when he felt an ache deep in his bones that woke him up.

By instinct, he opened his eyes. A pair of dark and cloudy irises trembled, as he scanned the dim room.

Fuck, even if he slept on his arm for an entire night, how could it be this agonizing?

The ringing stabbed his ears painfully, causing him to frown and click his tongue in annoyance. He struggled to pick up the phone.

"Hello, sir. Our hotel's checkout time is 12 o'clock in the afternoon, may I ask if you wish to prolong your stay?"

Looking at the decor in the room, Ji Ran naturally knew this was a hotel.

He closed his eyes and realised the pain wasn't only in his arms. Even his waist and legs seemed to be paralysed. He replied, "Yes." He hadn't slept quite enough.

"As you wish, sir. But I'll have to trouble you to come to the front desk to fill out some paperwork."

Hanging up the phone, Ji Ran thought that since his arm had already become this numb, if he were to maintain such a position any longer, his arm would truly become disabled. Therefore, with much difficulty, he turned around and changed his posture.

This turn was unbearable.

The pain and ache from his lower body shot through him, from his head to his toes, causing him to grimace in misery. At the same time, the scattered fragments of his memories from last night gradually returned.

Before he even had time to look over these memories, his sight fell on something that made his jaw drop in shock.

The pair of red underwear lying quietly on the wooden floor were the ones he'd bought this year— his zodiac year1. Each pair cost 2,000 yuan.

No, this wasn't the main point.

Beside his red underwear, there lay a pair of black underwear belonging to a man.

Instantly, his right arm touched something.

Ji Ran hardened his scalp and turned around.

A man was lying beside him.

The stranger had short and neat hair. With his back facing him, Ji Ran couldn't see much apart from knowing that his back muscles were well-defined and he had a slender neck. It was evident that the man regularly worked out and belonged with the group of people who trained their bodies; the type that were irresistible to both men and women.

However, Ji Ran wasn't in the mood to appreciate his muscles.

This man's back was filled with several red marks, the kind where you only needed a look to know how it was formed. Other parts of his skin were also covered with ambiguous marks.

His memories finally rushed back.

Although Ji Ran was gay, he'd never done it with a man. Last night, he hadn't called for anyone, so this person couldn't be a host from the night club.

It wasn't a scoundrel from his group of friends either. Even if you gave them 80 more courage points, they still wouldn't dare touch him.

It was much more impossible for it to be someone he picked up along the way. The bar was a place he frequented and many people knew him. Even if they were to pick up a corpse, they wouldn't dare pick him up.
