Gu Xiu was humiliating him.
Gu Yi was filled with humiliation and rage, but to the currently triumphant Gu Xiu, his anger looked absolutely adorable.
Gu Xiu smiled even more brightly and pinched Gu Yi's chin: "Don't be afraid, I'll leave someone in the room to take care of you."
"Don't say your older brother doesn't care about you. Rest assured, I dote on you, and I definitely won't let you suffer any grievances tonight."
After saying this, Gu Xiu stood up. Without giving Gu Yi another glance, he turned and left.
The arrangement upstairs suited his taste perfectly; there was nothing that needed changing.
He only needed to slightly change his hairstyle and clothes, and then go pick up Lu Ke.
The thought of him and Lu Ke getting hot and heavy upstairs while Gu Yi could only watch helplessly from downstairs like an impotent husband...
...made Gu Xiu feel instantly exhilarated in both body and mind.
Even the lingering gloom in his heart from being screwed over previously was swept clean away.
Watching Gu Xiu's retreating back, Gu Yi's eyes were bloodshot.
With his hands and feet bound, he desperately tried to break free, but even as his wrists chafed and bled, he could do absolutely nothing.
His underlying dissatisfaction with Gu Xiu gradually morphed into hatred. He knew Gu Xiu was taking revenge on him.
But that didn't change the fact that in this very moment, Gu Yi truly wanted to kill him.
The Gu family needed an heir, and that person was Gu Xiu.
Gu Yi didn't want to get involved in those complicated matters, so he had never thought about taking Gu Xiu's life; at most, he just wanted to make him suffer a bit.
But now, he really wanted him dead.
He had been too merciful to Gu Xiu before, which was why Gu Xiu dared to walk all over him so blatantly.
Daring to take what was his...
Gu Yi stared darkly at the tightly shut door, grinding his back teeth fiercely.
He took a deep breath, trying his best to calm himself down.
However, his composure didn't last long before the pitch-black screen in front of him suddenly lit up.
Gu Yi looked over, his eyes widening slightly in an instant.
On the large surveillance screen, Lu Ke was wearing a dark blue dress, her makeup exquisitely done, and a pair of stiletto heels on her feet. Blindfolded, she was being carefully led into the room step by step by Gu Xiu.
Gu Xiu protected her while gently reminding her: "Sister, there's something on your left, be careful."
Lu Ke held his hand tightly, terrified of falling if she let go: "Gu Yi, where are we?"
The corners of Gu Xiu's lips curled up: "You'll know in a moment."
As he spoke, he glanced at the surveillance camera in the corner, his eyes filled with smugness and blatant provocation.
Gu Yi's blood pressure spiked watching this, but the expression on his face actually grew calmer.
He leaned back against the sofa Gu Xiu had temporarily had someone bring in, staring unblinkingly at Gu Xiu on the screen.
If looks could kill, Gu Xiu would have already been pierced by ten thousand arrows.
Leading Lu Ke to the center of the living room, Gu Xiu stepped behind her and untied the blindfold covering her eyes.
The light that instantly flooded her eyes was a bit glaring, and Lu Ke raised a hand to shield them.
Then, she lowered her hand and looked around. It looked somewhat familiar.
When she finally remembered where this was, a sense of dread washed over her.
She turned her head to look at Gu Xiu in disbelief, her lips trembling: "You... the surprise you said you were giving me is... coming here?"
Was this supposed to be a good place?
Wasn't this the place Gu Yi had set up with various scenarios specifically for adult thrills?
This wasn't a surprise at all; it was a pure fright.
Lu Ke's smile looked a bit strained.
Under normal circumstances, the male leads' stamina was already astonishing, and she could barely handle it.
If they were to do it here, the intensity would double. Gu Yi didn't know how to be gentle, and she had no idea how terribly he would torment her.
Lu Ke's smile grew uglier until it slowly vanished entirely.
Gu Xiu, however, had his eyes crinkled in delight: "Does Sister not like it?"
"I've been preparing for this day for a long time."
Lu Ke stiffly twitched the corners of her mouth: "It's still early, there's no rush..."
Seeing that Gu Xiu wanted to say something else, Lu Ke hurriedly interrupted: "Gu Yi, I'm a little hungry. I... I want to eat the food you cook, is that okay?"
Gu Xiu instantly froze.
Meanwhile, downstairs, Gu Yi's eyes lit up the moment he heard those words.
He was the one who knew how to cook. How could that piece of trash Gu Xiu know how?
Later, when Gu Xiu couldn't make it, or if the taste was wrong...
...would Sister realize that the person wasn't him at all, but Gu Xiu?
Excitement, anticipation...
After freezing for a second, Gu Xiu quickly recovered.
The corners of his lips curled up. Knowing that Gu Yi would never refuse this kind of request from Lu Ke, he didn't break character by suggesting they go out to eat.
Instead, he said: "Alright, wait a moment. I'll have someone buy some groceries and bring them over."
Lu Ke nodded, quietly breathing a sigh of relief.
Gu Xiu walked to the side to text someone, while she went to sit on the sofa, her whole body tense.
Sweeping her gaze across the room, she choked slightly upon seeing several extra surveillance cameras in the living room.
She stood up and walked to the room filled with mirrors.
Looking around, sure enough, she spotted three more cameras in different corners.
The cameras weren't the hidden type; they were hung there so blatantly that it was hard not to notice them.
Their field of view practically covered the entire room, not missing a single corner.
This was indeed something Gu Yi would do.
But being filmed by cameras... if the video accidentally leaked... Lu Ke didn't even dare to imagine what would happen.
Gu Xiu appeared behind her at some unknown moment, reaching out to wrap his arms around her waist and pull her into his embrace.
Glancing at the camera, his tone was very gentle: "Sister, do you like it?"
She didn't like it!
Lu Ke lowered her eyelashes and pursed her lips, putting on an aggrieved look.
Not getting a response, Gu Xiu paused. He hurriedly turned her around, only to see faint tears brimming in the corners of Lu Ke's eyes.
She looked as if she had something to say but didn't know how to say it.
Gu Xiu felt a surge of anxiety: "What's wrong? Do you not like it?"
Lu Ke hesitated to speak, and only under Gu Xiu's repeated questioning did she manage to say with difficulty:
"Gu Yi, what are you trying to do by recording these videos?"
Gu Xiu almost instantly guessed Lu Ke's concerns. Putting on an innocent expression, he began to play the victim.
"Sister, I'm not your only man, and I can't be with you every night."
"I especially can't just go find you whenever I want you."
"The videos... I just want to take them out and watch them when I can't be with you. I don't mean anything else by it, and I definitely won't send them to a third person."
Lu Ke opened her mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Why did she feel like a bit of a scumbag after hearing Gu Yi say that?
Thinking carefully about his words, they seemed to make a little sense.
Such lustful male leads only got their turn once a week.
For the male leads, this was definitely not enough.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have all ganged up on her together later on...
It really was a case of some dying of drought while others drowned in the flood.
But wasn't this the path Gu Yi had chosen for himself?
If he was dissatisfied, he could totally just quit. She hadn't forced him to stay.
But now he was trying to use this to gaslight her. She wasn't falling for it; it wouldn't work on her.
