061, Just a moment, Mister Chi.

He sent an error report request to the Lord God.

Ever since the elevator incident where he had blurted out Xiaochi, this was the first time 061 had returned to calling him Mister Chi again. The severity of the situation could thus be seen.

Chi Xiaochi also realised something wasnt right, Whats wrong?

061 said, This is only your second task, you shouldnt have been matched to a world with an A-grade difficulty. It might be that the random assignment system malfunctioned. Dont panic, just lie down. Ill always be here for you.

Chi Xiaochi was slightly startled.

Hed been

fine

on his own for many years, so he felt that a promise like Ill always be here for you was simply so banal, it couldnt be any more banal.

He, Chi Xiaochi, could live perfectly well on his own, he didnt need anyone else at all. Chi Xiaochi had been in the circle for many years and his position was so high, yet no one had overestimated their own capabilities and tried to run over to him to act cute like this.

He never thought that it would actually turn out that truly, the more banal the words, the nicer it was to listen to.

Chi Xiaochi obediently lay down and waited for a reply with 061.

Soon, the reply to his request returned. It stated that after inspection, it was found that the random assignment system 089 had not malfunctioned. His host being matched to a world of A-grade difficulty only depended on probability. Please quickly receive the world information.

The implication was too bad, so sad. Deal with it.

061 explained to Chi Xiaochi, Such a precedent has never been set before. Most of the second worlds of other hosts are C-grade and at most B-grade.

Chi Xiaochi, So Im the first?

061, You sound very proud of yourself.

Out of helplessness, he sent the world settings over to Chi Xiaochi.

Some of the settings of this world was a little different from the one Chi Xiaochi was familiar with. Although it was still set in modern times, homosexual marriage was already allowed. Luckily, the general value system and world views of this world were pretty similar.

His host, Shen Changqing, was born to a middle-class family, and had a gentle personality. In the past, he was an advertisement model signed to an international modelling company. Later, he had a chance encounter at an event with Chairman Zhou Kai, who took a fancy to him at first sight.

Soon after, Zhou Kai began his enthusiastic pursuit.

Zhou Kai couldnt be considered young, but a businessman like him, who managed to expand his business all around the world before the age of 45, was already considered to be the youngest in his circle.

He had a strong preference for Asian males. His first marriage was to Su Wenyi, a Chinese man, to whom he had been married for 12 years.

The relationship between the two was rather low-key. The occasional news that broke out were all about the conjugal bliss and harmony between the two and the holidays they took, with ten fingers intertwined, to such-and-such country.

After Su Wenyi left the world, he remained single for more than four years before meeting Shen Changqing.

From the point of view of an outsider, Shen Changqings luck didnt just call for his

ancestral graves to emit blue smoke

, it called for his ancestral graves to catch fire.

With him at the age of 22, young and handsome, if no accidents occurred, Zhou Kai would definitely go before him.

Zhou Kai had no children. When the time came, even if he only got half of his inheritance, it would be enough for him to buy a house, buy land, support a pretty boy, and play around until he turned eighty.

Not only that, but Zhou Kai wasnt bad-looking and was an extravagant spender.

As such, in the eyes of the public, despite his few little flaws, such as his irritable nature, his big mouth, and his unwillingness to control himself in public, he was still considered a good match in general.

But this good match had an unspeakable secret.

He was born without sexual function.

In Chi Xiaochis opinion, this might be the only pity this fucking world had taken on him.

Unfortunately, being a natural castrate,

as expected

, Zhou Kai was a pervert.

Actually, Zhou Kai was straighter than a telephone pole. He didnt like men at all, but if he married a woman, he would be limited by the functions of his own body and would have to face ridicule for having no children.

Even if he could push the blame of being infertile on the woman, the proud Zhou Kai couldnt bear having outsiders speculate about his abilities and male dignity.

So he simply married a man and cut off any talk once and for all.

But this choice conversely played a terrible role in his long-term married life, constantly reminding him of the fact that he couldnt properly have sex.

After the death of his first partner, he became more cautious about choosing the next.

After much investigation, he judged that Shen Changqing was good-looking, easy to control, and qualified as a passable ornament.

As a result, on the wedding night, Shen Changqing, who knew nothing, was directly covered by a plastic bag and almost toyed into the morgue.

From then on, it had been a three-year-long neverending nightmare.

Shen Changqing had thought about divorce countless times, but his family background was at best, from the lower middle class. The trifling twenty thousand yuan his parents earned every month was a mere fart to Zhou Kai.

And once Shen Changqing entered his door, unless he left in a bodybag, he couldnt think of leaving his control knowing his secret.

Shen Changqings nature tended towards gentleness. To put it nicely, he was steady and took the big picture into consideration. To put it frankly, he was resigned to his fate.

From the first time he had woken up in a hospital bed, he had already resigned himself.

After weighing the pros and cons, he recognised that he, this

little calf hair

, was absolutely incapable of dealing with Zhou Kai, this big thigh.

He didnt jump up and make a fuss about wanting a divorce, didnt try making contact with the outside world, and didnt complain. He was, instead, completely docile and obedient to Zhou Kai. So although he was still taken to task at every turn, at least Zhou Kai thought that Shen Changqing was obedient and didnt think of causing trouble all the time like Su Wenyi, so he didnt vent his moody temper on Shen Changqing as much.

About how his predecessor Su Wenyi had died, whether he had been toyed to death by Zhou Kai or couldnt stand the humiliation and had chosen suicide, Shen Changqing already couldnt care less.

Every day, he just thought about how he was going to live on.

Every time Zhou Kai went out on business trips for anywhere from ten days to a half a month, he was as happy as if it were Chinese New Year.

When he ate at home, even if Zhou Kai just placed his chopsticks down a little louder than usual, Shen Changqings legs would cramp up uncontrollably. But no matter how painful his legs were, he still didnt dare let out any expression.

Despite this, he would still get beaten up every few days. If he talked too much, he would get beaten, but if he talked too little, he would still get beaten. His eyes swelling up like ping pong balls was even more common.

Zhou Kai seemed to really like seeing Shen Changqing with a bruised nose and swollen face. He was especially kind and considerate to the beaten man. Up until the next unpredictable outburst began, everything would stay very peaceful and calm.

Shen Changqing knew he was raising a little girlfriend outside. This little girlfriend was also a model who accepted her identity as a mistress well, was open-minded, and had a

tight mouth

, all very much to Zhou Kais taste.

Shen Changqing had long since become numb to such trifles.

Zhou Kai appreciated S
