After some time, Ye Xiao came back to the infirmary. He was alone; Zhao Zixun was not with him.

Bai Zhi had regained her awareness. She noticed his absence, and she felt a little easier but empty at the same time. Zhao Zixun had seriously frightened her. She could never in a million years imagine that someone who had always been so gentle with her could do something so atrocious and without remorse.

“Are you that surprised?” Ye Xiao’s cold, clear voice intruded her silent reverie.

She turned her head to look at him and, somewhat shyly, tried to cover her body. She looked away and nodded, “I cannot believe he could do such a thing… I don’t know—”

“No one in this place is innocent.” Ye Xiao said slowly with emphasis as if trying to enlighten her. “Not Zhao Zixun, not Xiang Chen, not even Di Qing or Lu Ye. Every single person here has done something evil and worth dying for… including the two that Zhao Zixun has dispatched. Don’t feel sorry for them.”

“What did Xiang Chen do?” She asked out of curiosity. She pictured the curly-haired teenager… What could he do? He wasn’t particularly strong, and he always had that lazy, laid-back attitude. How could he have committed any sins?”

“He’s a child prodigy,” Ye Xiao explained, “But he abused his abilities and constantly broke the rules. He worked for underground organizations, exploited the dark web, laundered money, committed various financial crimes… you name it. Despite his young age, he’s done it all.”

“Why… why did he do all this? For money?” Bai Zhi tried to think back and reflect on their past encounters. She remembered his aloofness and inexperience, especially on the matters of sex. His movements had been awkward and unskilled.

“For money? Sure, he may have had some difficulties…” The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and the coldness on Ye Xiao’s face seemed to melt away. But in very the next instant, his expressionless mask returned. “What he really craved for was a challenge: he wanted to test his limits, push boundaries, and seek excitement. Fame, money, human life… none of these things mean anything to him.”

Bai Zhi shuddered. That time when she seduced him in the bath, she thought she had already seen through the teenager.

“Then what about… Di Qing and Lu Ye?”

“I don’t know what their situation is, but one thing is certain, they’re no good either.”

“They said that only one prisoner can make it out of here alive…”

“One prisoner?” Ye Xiao mused thoughtfully. “Is that what they said……”

“Mm-hmm” Bai Zhi trembled; his pause made her feel uneasy.

“You don’t need to think too hard about these things,” Ye Xiao continued. “Other than Zhao Zixun, don’t trust anything anyone else says.”

“Bu-but he just killed someone… and—”

And that person died a miserable death. The bloody crime scene with human entrails strewn all over the floor… It gave her nightmares just thinking about it.

Ye Xiao sighed.

This was the first time Ye Xiao had ever shown such an expression in front of her. Bai Zhi felt an inexplicable flutter in her chest.

“All of us have irrational moments. The stronger, more powerful the person, the more dangerous it is when they lose control.” He hesitated for a moment, “I hope that you can stay with him and hold him back—give him refuge and protect him—so that when he leaves, he’ll leave with fewer burdens on his soul.”

She snorted bitterly, “I can barely keep myself alive, how can I—”

“It may not work, but it’s worth a try,” Ye Xiao interrupted. “Alright, are you done asking questions? I’ve already said too much.”

“Y-yes?”

“Then it’s time to apply more medicine.” Ye Xiao looked at her; his tone was cool as usual, but his eyes glinted with expectation.

“Apply what medicine? No, I’m not……” Bai Zhi instinctively covered her bare chest with her hands and scooched back on the bed.

“Will you apply it or should I?”

“I-I’ll do it.”

Ye Xiao handed her a small jar of green ointment, “Rub it in down there, just like last time.” He stood to the side, watching her.

Bai Zhi blushed, “Don’t look, it’s… uncomfortable.”

“Hurry up, I’m off soon,” Ye Xiao hustled; he looked up at the clock on the wall.

She bit her lip and lowered her head, studiously avoiding his gaze. She carefully opened the jar and scooped up a small amount of the jade green paste with her index finger. Her hand drifted down towards groin area. Her bent legs slowly fell open, and she used her slender fingers to spread her labia apart. She applied the gel daintily to the outer edge of her cavity.

The gel felt cool and refreshing against her tender, inflamed skin. She couldn’t help purring at the sensation.

“Apply it inside,” Ye Xiao said indifferently.

Her face felt hot and she hesitated; she felt ashamed doing such a thing under the watchful eyes of a man. Once more, she separated her rosy petals. This time she submerged her finger up to the first knuckle into the slightly moist orifice. Her finger drew a small arc inside, gently smearing the paste.

“Doctor Ye, is… is that okay?” Her voice was soft and just a little coquettish.

“It’s not enough; you need to apply more—apply it all the way inside.” Ye Xiao’s voice was gruff.

His eyes hooded into long, thin slits as he watched her pussy swallow the slender digit. Clear, sparkling honey seeped out from the gap between her opening and finger. It glinted with a bewitching luster.

Bai Zhi’s lips felt dry. She resisted the urge to stop and escape from the infirmary. Holding her breath, she pushed her finger deeper into her narrow passage.

Ye Xiao gulped unconsciously. His chest rose and fell noticeably under the white lab coat, but his expression remained the same—calm and detached.

She sank her index finger down to the base into her slippery passage. She looked up at him shyly with shining watery eyes and asked, “Is this okay?”

“You need to apply the medicine evenly.” His voice was thick with desire, “Smear it in every nook and cranny. That way, when they play with you, you won’t break so quickly.”

Bai Zhi turned her head away from Ye Xiao. They were clearly having a strictly professional conversation, but his gaze gave her strange ideas. She felt as if she were masturbating in front of him, even though she was just applying medicine. She felt like a nympho luring him into a trap, baiting him into shoving his cock inside her pussy.

She removed her finger. Her hand was covered in her own sticky juices. She dipped her finger into the tub of green paste and repeated the same steps as before.

More lewd fluids flowed down her fingers. She was exploring herself for the first time. His unwavering gaze on her as she did it only made her more attuned and receptive. She knew the effect she was having on him, and it felt oddly good.

Her finger rotated and smoothed the green paste all over the inner walls of her pussy. By the time Ye Xiao finally nodded in approval, Bai Zhi’s body felt hot all over. Her nipples were hard, and the sheets where she sat were soaked.

“Good,” His deep, raspy voice was full of thirst and awe. She bit her lip to stop herself.

Bai Zhi squeezed her legs together to alleviate her want, but she still couldn’t help squirming and rubbing her thighs against one another. She could feel the man lust hidden within his cold gaze. She wrapped her arms around her bent legs and half-buried her face between her knees, hiding her blush. She couldn’t face him—not now.

“I-I’m done… I’m leaving…” she whispered.

Ye Xiao watched her don her grey prison uniform, covering her luscious curves. Then he watched her leave the infirmary. He said nothing, and it was unclear what he was thinking as she walked away.
