What in the world was going on here? In broad daylight, under the clear sky, Tang San was actually doing such a sordid thing with his master, Yu Xiaogang, in the privacy of their room. It was truly outrageous!
Dai Mubai suddenly felt his worldview crumbling around him. At this moment, the scene before him was burned into his retinas: Tang San was lying almost naked on the bed board with his rear end sticking up high. And Yu Xiaogang, despite being confined to a wheelchair, was leaning forward intently. He was truly indomitable despite his disability!
Dai Mubai felt like he needed to bleach his eyes. He had only been sent by Dean Flender to deliver some medicine, a simple errand. Yet, he ended up encountering such a scandalous scene. Isn't this a sick joke?
Compared to Dai Mubai's extremely shocked reaction, Ma Hongjun, on the other hand, was much calmer. In fact, his lips were even slightly curved upwards in a smirk. His eyes were fixed on the incredibly absurd scene in the room with a look of twisted amusement.
He had always wondered why a good-for-nothing like Tang San was worth Yu Xiaogang's desperate efforts to cultivate him. So it turned out there was this kind of secret relationship between the two of them. It was truly hard to keep a straight face!
Besides Tang San and Flender, no one else knew the secret that Yu Xiaogang was no longer a complete man. To save Yu Xiaogang a final shred of dignity, Flender had only told the others that the Grandmaster had suffered a very serious injury, which was why he had been bedridden for so long. That was why Ma Hongjun's mind wandered in such a direction. If he knew Yu Xiaogang didn't even have his 'thing' anymore, his theory would have collapsed—after all, wouldn't Yu Xiaogang have become the passive one in that scenario? Then it would be Yu Xiaogang lying on the bed board now.
But Ma Hongjun still didn't quite understand the logistics. For such private matters, it would be understandable to do it stealthily in the middle of the night. But this was broad daylight, and they were so brazen about it. Could it be that they thought no one would enter their room?
Just then, Dai Mubai's somewhat helpless gaze turned towards Ma Hongjun. The former had never encountered such a situation before and was completely at a loss. For a moment, he didn't know whether to speak or simply back away slowly. Ma Hongjun also shrugged his shoulders helplessly. The two looked at each other, clearly not knowing the protocol for interrupting a "bonding session."
Unlike the two stunned intruders, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang in the room were not so calm.
After Tang San heard the sound of the door opening, panic set in. He frantically started pulling up his pants to cover his exposed skin. But because his movements were too rough and panicked, the fabric brushed against his raw wound again. The intense pain made his heart clench, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.
The most absurd thing was that he couldn't sit down steadily due to the injury. He could only squat on the bed in a very strange, awkward posture that looked even more suggestive and intriguing to the onlookers.
Yu Xiaogang quickly looked back. Upon seeing that it was Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun at the door, he turned his head, briefly managed his shocked expression, and then wheeled his chair around to face them.
Seeing the incredulous expressions on the faces of the two students, plus recalling his own questionable proximity to Tang San just moments ago, Yu Xiaogang realized how bad this looked. From the doorway, the perspective indeed painted a very different picture.
"Oh no, these two guys aren't thinking crookedly, are they?"
Yu Xiaogang's heart skipped a beat. He was especially worried about Ma Hongjun, who was known for his big mouth. If any rumors were spread by him, then he and Tang San would truly have no face left at all in the academy.
Thinking of this, he quickly stepped forward—figuratively speaking—to explain. "I was just helping Tang San apply medicine; his butt was injured, which I'm sure you both know. Do you two have something to do here?"
It would have been better if Yu Xiaogang hadn't explained at all. Once he spoke, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were even more convinced that what had happened in the room was exactly what they had imagined.
If it were according to Yu Xiaogang's usual temper, he would probably have scolded them for barging in without knocking. Although they wouldn't really care about a scolding, after such a long time at Shrek Academy, they were familiar with Yu Xiaogang's rigid personality. Not only did he not have a dark face or scold them, but he also calmly explained the situation to the two of them.
They hadn't even accused him of anything yet. Why was Yu Xiaogang explaining so defensively? Most likely, their previous guess was correct, and Yu Xiaogang had a guilty conscience, afraid of being exposed by them. That's why he chose to explain so quickly.
Thinking of this, Dai Mubai feigned calmness and showed a somewhat stiff smile. He really wanted to laugh now, but he knew he had to force himself to act normal.
"Grandmaster, this is the medicine the Dean asked me to bring to Tang San; please take a look."
Saying that, Dai Mubai held up a bag from behind him. The bag was neither too big nor too small, but it contained many pills, bottles, and jars that all looked brand new.
Seeing this scene, Yu Xiaogang was bewildered. Flender had asked the two of them to bring medicine over? Hadn't that guy just said harsh words to him earlier? The mixed signals made Yu Xiaogang lose his confidence in understanding his old friend.
Now he had even more reason to believe his earlier suspicions. Flender letting Tang San lay hands on him—causing his injury—definitely had selfish motives. Was it just because Flender had never moved on from the past? Was it because he was jealous that Yu Xiaogang had "snatched" Liu Erlong from him back then?
Yu Xiaogang's mind spiraled. He was convinced Flender had become jealous and used that day's opportunity to let such a heinous thing happen to him. Yu Xiaogang secretly swore in his heart: If Flender wouldn't let him be a man, then he wouldn't let Flender be a man either. A vicious thought had already begun to sprout in Yu Xiaogang's heart, and he gritted his teeth, his expression twisting with malice.
He completely forgot that Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were still standing right in front of him.
Dai Mubai saw Yu Xiaogang's sudden, strange expression change from defensive to dark. Something seemed a bit off! Not wanting to stay a second longer in this weird atmosphere, Dai Mubai quickly hung the bag of medicine on Yu Xiaogang's hand.
"If there's nothing else, we'll be leaving now!"
After speaking, he gestured to Ma Hongjun, and the two left without looking back, fleeing the scene of the crime.
Yu Xiaogang then moved to the door and closed it again. This time, he directly locked the bolt from the inside. It must be said, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were truly ill-mannered to burst in without knocking. Yu Xiaogang was quite displeased in his heart.
"Little San, there's some good medicine here!" Yu Xiaogang said, trying to return to normalcy. He pointed at the medicine Dai Mubai had brought and continued, "Lie down, I'll apply it for you."
Tang San heard this and immediately obediently lay down as before, exposing his injury. But he still looked back at the door with some unease. Surely no one else would come in now, right?
Yu Xiaogang would never have imagined that just outside, two pairs of ears were pressed tightly against the door. It was Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, who had secretly snuck back for another look—or rather, a listen.
The two were truly curious. Guesses were just guesses, after all. They came back because they wanted to hear exactly what was going on. Were this master and disciple pair, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, really doing some unspeakable, dirty things behind closed doors? If it was true, then this would definitely be a sensational bombshell that could ignite the entire Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were extremely focused, holding their breath.
Just then, Yu Xiaogang's voice finally came from the room, muffled but audible.
"Don't be afraid, I've locked the door. Just lie still!"
