Guide to Raising a Supporting Male Lead - Chapter 163

Chapter 163: Shattered Glass (1) 

She walked down the stairs and asked, “Can I rest?” 

Li Shunming had kidnapped her to have Lin Xinyu come over to see Li Ya. At most, he would only let her get a little hurt. “Sure.” 

He put Li Ya down and led Lin Xin to the west wing on the second floor. He threw her into the room and locked the door, trapping her inside. 

There was a bed and two old quilts. Lin Xin sat on the bed and looked out the window at the gradually darkening night. When she thought of Lin Xinyu, her hands didn’t feel so painful anymore. 

The next day, Li Shunming released her. Just like yesterday, he told her to wash clothes, and that they would order take-out food to prevent her from having any contact with the outside world. Lin Xin had thought of provoking Li Shunming, trying to think of a way to escape. In the evening, when she was in the room, she tried kicking a few times, but they were all weak. With her current strength, knocking out Li Shunming was a fantasy. Rationality prevailed, she gave up the plan and waited patiently. 

Early in the morning on the third day, Li Shunming changed Li Ya into a new set of clothes — a white shirt, slacks, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. At first glance, they looked like twins. 

Li Shunming must be a very narcissistic person to have such thoughts about his nephew, Lin Xin surmised. 

He patted Li Ya on the head and said, “You have to listen to me today. I’ll take you to see Xiaoyu.” 

At his words, Li Ya jumped in joy and said, “I’ll definitely be good.” 

Li Shunming tossed an old-fashioned woman’s outfit to Lin Xin to wear. Afraid that she would resist, he tied her hands with ropes, gagged, and hauled her into a van, throwing her in the back seat. He and Li Ya sat in the front seat and drove off in the direction of S City. When they arrived at a hotel, Li Shunming put his arm around Lin Xin’s shoulders and hid her face against his chest. He then intimately led Li Ya into the elevator and onto the appointed floor. 

He rang the bell. 

Ding dong, ding dong… 

The door opened from the inside. Seeing Lin Xinyu’s face, Li Ya excitedly rushed over. “Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, you’re finally letting me see you! Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu!” 

The all too familiar face invoked fear and disgust, Lin Xinyu took a step back and tried to push Li Ya away. 

Li Shunming, who was standing behind her, pressed a dagger against her back and said, “Do whatever he tells you to, otherwise…” 

Lin Xinyu looked at Lin Xin and ascertained that she was fine. He lowered his head and let Li Ya cling onto his body. 

Li Shunming pushed Lin Xin and barked: “Go in.” 

Lin Xin walked into the living room. Her captor closed the door and locked it. He then pulled Lin Xin to the living room and sat her down on the sofa. He pressed the dagger against Lin Xin’s back and threatened again, “Do whatever he wants you to, or else.” 

Lin Xinyu pursed his lips, his face as pale as a sheet of paper. Memories of his youth swarmed through his heart. Even if the person in front of him was as stupid as a child, the fear in his heart didn’t lessen. 

“Xiaoyu, you seem to have grown taller.” Li Ya touched Lin Xinyu’s head and compared it to himself. Lin Xinyu was half a head taller than him. 

Lin Xinyu lowered his head without saying a word. 

“He’s talking to you,” Li Shunming said. 

Lin Xinyu raised his head and softly uttered, “Dean.” 

Lin Xin couldn’t help but burst into tears, Lin Xinyu gave her a look, telling her with his eyes: I’m fine, don’t cry. 

Li Ya happily grabbed his hand and asked, “Where have you been all these years? Why have you not come to see me?” 

Lin Xinyu said, “I was a bit busy.” 

Li Ya said, “It’s fine. I don’t blame you.” He touched his head, then his hair, and finally his face. He studied it and said, “You look just as good as ever.” He coaxed him like a child. “Come here and let me hug you. I’ll give you lots of delicious food.” As he spoke, he hugged Lin Xinyu and proceeded to take off his clothes. 

Lin Xinyu tightly grabbed onto his collar, not letting him take it off. 

Li Ya grumbled, “Why is he getting more and more disobedient?”1 

Li Shunming coughed. Lin Xinyu bit his lips and let go, allowing Li Ya to take off his shirt. The latter’s hand slid down his neck and fell on the scar on his chest. He stuck out his tongue and licked it. 

Lin Xinyu’s body trembled uncontrollably, his eyes were red as he clenched his teeth, afraid that he would injure Li Ya and in turn Lin Xin. 

His lips trembled. “Can you take her to another room?” 

Lin Xin closed her eyes, leaving Lin Xinyu a last bit of dignity. 

However, Li Shunming sneered. “I want her to watch and see it clearly.” 

He grabbed Lin Xin’s hair and pried open her eyelids so that she would look straight at Lin Xinyu’s humiliation.
