The Villains All Fell in Love with Me After Rebirth : Chapter 43 - Tease
Chapter 43: Tease
So, after talking for so long, first telling me to choose, then asking me to make a decision, creating such a tense atmosphere, making me struggle with this difficult choice—and in the end—there is never really a choice at all?!
Whether I agree or not, you're still going to fuck me?!
Ji Ling’s vision darkened, his hands trembled, and he almost fainted from anger.
Gabriel gently lifted the boy’s chin, gazing into his beautiful eyes now filled with rage. Finally, he’s angry ah...
Gabriel smiled slightly and, in a low, meaningful voice, said, “So, have you made your decision?”
Ji Ling was on the verge of tears from frustration. He gritted his teeth, his voice seeming to squeeze through clenched jaws. “I… agree… with you.”
What more is there to ask? Isn’t it obvious?! Whether I agree or not, the outcome won’t change, so I might as well agree and save someone.
Ji Ling took a deep breath, warily eyeing the man before him, then coldly added, “But before that, I want to see Ning Yu first!”
This man was absolutely vile. He had clearly been toying with him earlier, and Ji Ling wasn’t sure if he would actually keep his promise. He had to see Ning Yu’s safety with his own eyes!
Gabriel stared deeply at him for a moment, then, with a teasing tone, said, “Alright.”
He pulled out a black silk ribbon, leaning close to Ji Ling’s ear and whispering, “Don’t move.” He then raised his hand and blindfolded Ji Ling with the ribbon.
Ji Ling stood there, tense, allowing Gabriel to cover his eyes. His vision turned pitch black, and with his sight taken away, his other senses grew sharper. He could clearly hear the man’s breathing, steady and falling right beside his ear...
The next moment, he suddenly felt weightless and couldn’t help but let out a small gasp. The man had picked him up!
Gabriel’s arms wrapped firmly around him, holding him tightly against his body as he walked away.
Ji Ling couldn’t see anything and had no idea where Gabriel was taking him. His nerves were stretched taut, only knowing that they had left the room. In his mind, he silently counted the minutes.
After what felt like about ten minutes, Gabriel finally set him down, then reached out to remove the ribbon from his eyes and said, “We’ve arrived.”
Ji Ling blinked, adjusting to the light, and found himself in a white metal room with a glass window in front of him. Through the window, he could see a young man being held inside.
He anxiously took a step forward, pressing his hands against the glass, and stared inside.
Ning Yu sat on a metal chair, his hands cuffed behind him. He was still wearing the military uniform from when Ji Ling last saw him. His shoulder, where he had been shot by a laser gun, was a bloody mess, staining half his body red. His head was hanging down, unconscious, his face pale and devoid of any color. From this angle, Ji Ling could only see his profile.
Gabriel’s raspy voice sounded from behind Ji Ling. “He’s still alive. Are you reassured now?”
Reassured? How could he be reassured? Ning Yu was so badly injured, and they hadn’t even stopped the bleeding! Even an S-level evolver like Ning Yu couldn’t endure such torment!
Ji Ling spun around angrily, his eyes red. “Why haven’t you treated him?!”
He was so furious that he didn’t notice the fleeting look of surprise in Gabriel’s eyes after hearing this.
After a brief pause, Gabriel slowly said, “I only promised not to kill him. Treating his wounds was never part of our deal.”
But Ji Ling wasn’t having it. He had already decided to make such a huge sacrifice! How could he not fight for more for Ning Yu? Otherwise, he would be getting a terrible deal. He tried his best to put on a fierce expression, glaring at Gabriel. “You will treat his wounds and guarantee not to harm him, or I won’t agree to anything you ask!”
After speaking, he stared at Gabriel intently. This time, he noticed a strange emotion flicker in Gabriel’s dark eyes, as if something were brewing behind them. Gabriel looked at him with a gaze that made Ji Ling’s heart race. Suddenly, he heard Gabriel let out a quiet laugh.
Most of the time, Gabriel’s laughter was cold, cruel, and mocking.
But this time, even though his voice was hoarse and grating, Ji Ling could somehow feel that Gabriel was in a good mood. Gabriel chuckled. “Alright.”
Ji Ling immediately let out a sigh of relief. His back had been drenched in nervous sweat.
Gabriel approached once more, his silver mask drawing near, and the interest in his black eyes deepened as if he were about to completely see through Ji Ling. He raised his hand to cover Ji Ling’s eyes and, in a raspy voice, whispered near his ear. “Now, let’s see what you’re willing to sacrifice for him…”
With that, he blindfolded Ji Ling again with the ribbon.
Ji Ling felt the man pick him up once more, carrying him for about ten minutes before laying him gently on a bed.
He knew what was coming next.
His body trembled slightly.
Ji Ling’s hands were tied behind his back. He couldn’t see, couldn’t move, and could only feel the man’s cold fingers brushing his neck, unbuttoning his shirt. The cool air touched his skin, chilling him to the bone, and fear made him instinctively want to escape… But remembering Ning Yu, gravely injured and unconscious, he forced himself to stay still, clutching his hands tightly in nervous anticipation.
The unknown and fear washed over him like a tidal wave, threatening to drown him.
The man’s breath drew closer, and with a smile in his voice, he said, “Remember, this was your choice.”
Ji Ling cursed inwardly, Your choice? As if I ever had one! He was filled with fear, anger, and helplessness, trembling slightly, clenching his teeth. In despair, he closed his eyes and thought, Ning Yu, I’m risking everything to save you. You better make it out alive… and be happy with Jing Sui. Just give me a ticket home as thanks for my sacrifice.
The man’s lips descended.
The kiss was not as cold or rough as Ji Ling had expected. Instead, it was tender, almost affectionate, and searingly hot. But even so, Ji Ling was too terrified to relax.
He didn’t dare resist, so he could only obediently part his lips, letting the man take what he wanted.
Desperate to escape the overwhelming fear, Ji Ling tried to distract himself by thinking of other things.
Actually, kisses like this… Jing Sui and Carlos had both done it before, especially during the time he spent in the palace. Being forced to practice kissing with Jing Sui every day had already left him a bit numb to it. And back then, Jing Sui had always been reluctant to push him, showing restraint. The moment Ji Ling showed even a hint of fear or discomfort, Jing Sui would stop, never going beyond kissing his neck.
But this man… He wasn’t like Jing Sui or Carlos. He didn’t care about Ji Ling’s feelings and showed no pity. He was like a ruthless hunter, indulging without restraint in his prey.
There was no need to care about the emotions of the prey.
To take possession of a noble like him must feel thrilling and rewarding for the rebel army...
Ji Ling really wanted to act stronger and tell himself it was no big deal. Isn’t there an old saying that life is like rape—if you can't resist, then just enjoy it?
But he couldn’t do it. The man kissed him so intensely that he could hardly breathe. As the kisses kept coming, Ji Ling couldn’t hold back anymore, and his eyes stung with tears as he began to cry softly.
He was truly terrified...
Logic was one thing, but emotions were another.
Just when he was about to give up and resign himself to his fate, the man suddenly stopped. He gently kissed Ji Ling's lips, brushed his cold fingertips across his face, and let out a low, satisfied chuckle. “The emperor and Carlos's favorite really does taste good.”
Then the man casually tugged at the ribbon binding Ji Ling's hands, freeing him.
Ji Ling lay there, stunned for a while. It wasn’t until the man got up and left that he realized everything was over.
Ji Ling: ???
So when you said you’d enjoy me, and taste me... it was really just tasting? And you meant with your mouth???
Why didn’t I think to take your words literally before???
Ji Ling wore a completely bewildered expression, feeling like he'd just been on an emotional rollercoaster. If he had known it would end like this, why had he even struggled and despaired? Such a waste of feelings.
After a long while, Ji Ling finally raised his hand to cautiously pull down the ribbon that had been covering his eyes. Confirming that the man had truly left, he quickly fixed his disheveled clothes, a complex expression on his face.
This guy must be some kind of mentally ill pervert.
But thank goodness, even if he's not quite right in the head, at least I didn’t get raped! As for being kissed… haha, given how far I’ve fallen, do I still care about that?
Being kissed by someone is still being kissed, no matter who does it, right?
Having resigned himself to his fate, Ji Ling felt he had nothing left to fear.
He sat on the bed for a while, realizing that Gabriel probably wouldn’t be coming back anytime soon. Unable to resist, he walked to the door, and to his surprise, the door just pushed open!
Ji Ling’s heart raced wildly—could it be that Gabriel had forgotten to close the door?
He immediately and cautiously stepped outside, creeping along the walls to see if he could escape. At first, he was extremely nervous and scared, afraid of being caught by guards. But after half an hour… Ji Ling wore a blank expression.
He had wandered around the entire place and hadn’t encountered a single person.
It wasn’t that Gabriel had forgotten to close the door; the entire base was his prison.
The place wasn’t particularly large, but it wasn’t small either. Walking from one end to the other took about an hour. The sky was a gray-blue virtual projection, suggesting the base was likely underground. But there were many green plants, the environment was quite pleasant, and the air was fresh.
Aside from being overly quiet, it was actually a rather comfortable place to live.
The base even had a garden, as well as recreational and fitness facilities. There was a library with many books, a game room, and pretty much everything else one could want. It seemed designed to house quite a few people, but now it was completely deserted, with only Ji Ling.
And Ning Yu wasn’t here.
Ji Ling vaguely remembered that when Gabriel took him to see Ning Yu, they had descended a certain distance. Ning Yu was likely being held on another level, but no matter how hard Ji Ling searched, he couldn’t find the path Gabriel had taken before. Eventually, he had no choice but to give up.
………………
And so Ji Ling remained imprisoned here, never seeing anyone else besides Gabriel.
Gabriel personally delivered his three meals a day. While the food wasn’t as luxurious or rare as in the palace or the duke’s mansion, it was quite good, with a wide variety of dishes and some unique snacks...
Gabriel only watched Ji Ling eat, never eating anything himself in Ji Ling's presence.
He was an extremely cautious person.
Even though Ji Ling was completely powerless in his hands, Gabriel still insisted on blindfolding him and tying his hands whenever he kissed him.
Yes...
Gabriel really liked kissing Ji Ling.
He came every day, usually after Ji Ling had eaten. He would blindfold Ji Ling, remove his own mask, and kiss him.
At first, Ji Ling was always tense and frightened, but over time, he realized that this person was disturbingly disciplined. From start to finish, Gabriel adhered strictly to the principle of only using his mouth, never his hands. He wouldn’t even take off his gloves, let alone Ji Ling’s clothes.
Ji Ling gradually became numb to it.
Even though the man’s kisses grew bolder, moving to more inappropriate areas, people’s limits tend to drop over time.
Whenever Ji Ling remembered that he had once thought he’d be raped, but now was only being kissed, he found it bearable.
What was more, although the man always intimidated him and acted so frighteningly, his kisses were surprisingly gentle. Apart from the psychological discomfort, Ji Ling wasn’t really being hurt or tortured.
What a moody pervert...
………………
One day, Ji Ling sat aimlessly in the garden, looking up at the virtual sky, his gaze unfocused. He had just finished reading a novel, eaten some sweets, played some video games, and now he was out for a stroll. The days were terribly dull...
But also, strangely peaceful.
Gabriel never stayed long. He usually brought some food or trinkets, blindfolded Ji Ling for a kiss, and then left. Ji Ling had an absurd feeling like he was some sort of beloved pet, carefully cared for by his owner. After feeding him each day, the owner was obsessed with showering him with affection, while Ji Ling was just the unfortunate pet enduring it all…
Wait, who’s a pet?!
Ji Ling slapped his own face. Was he losing his mind?
The worst part was that Ji Ling found himself almost getting used to this life!
It hadn’t even been that long, yet he found himself no longer feeling the intense fear or the urgent desire to escape. He even thought that this life, where he didn’t have to think, do anything, deal with anyone, or even put on an act, wasn’t that bad...
No need to face the relentless pursuit of Jing Sui, no need to deal with the constant pressure from Carlos, and no need to worry about exposing his identity. He lived in peaceful isolation. Gabriel was just a minor character with little relevance to the plot, didn’t visit often, and didn’t require any particular pretense in front of him.
The slacker in him gradually lost all motivation.
If Gabriel wasn’t the kind of snake who liked to blindfold him and kiss him, Ji Ling might have even thought that Gabriel had come to rescue him from his misery...
Ah, no, no, no! How could I have such thoughts?
Could this be Stockholm syndrome?
Just as Ji Ling was about to fully embrace the slacker life, he suddenly became nervous again. No, this man was too dangerous. He was definitely influencing him subtly, first scaring him, then treating him kindly, so that Ji Ling would let down his guard.
Too insidious, too cunning!
I’ve seen through your tricks!
………………
Ji Ling began giving himself daily pep talks, determined not to fall for this man's tricks. He was a normal person! He would never forgive this bastard for imprisoning him!
Around seven in the evening, Gabriel came as usual.
The man in the silver mask carried a box and placed it on the table in front of Ji Ling. He sat lazily across from him, his eyes focused on Ji Ling.
They had been interacting like this recently—Gabriel was often silent when he wasn’t teasing him.
Ji Ling opened the box and found his favorite dish: purple-tailed fish!
Feigning restraint, he took out the chopsticks, picked up the fish, and turned slightly away from Gabriel before eating in silence.
Gabriel brought him different foods every day, many of which Ji Ling had never even had on the Emperor Star. They were probably specialty snacks from other planets.
After trying the purple-tailed fish once, Ji Ling couldn't forget its taste, so Gabriel must have noticed and started bringing it to him every so often.
Ji Ling ate with satisfaction, but he refused to thank Gabriel or admit that he liked it.
I didn’t ask for any of this—you're the one giving it to me, so humph!
He was a particularly reserved nobleman.
After finishing the fish, Ji- reserved nobleman-Ling set down the bowl and chopsticks, lowered his eyes, and sat quietly, knowing what was coming next.
But this time, Gabriel didn’t make a move. Instead, he reached out to gently wipe the corner of Ji Ling's mouth, then let out a soft laugh. “It seems like you’re not in much of a hurry to go back.”
Ji Ling froze, his expression changing instantly. He was testing him!
Ji Ling immediately showed an angry expression and coldly replied, “Even if I wanted to go back, would you let me?”
Gabriel looked at him with a calm, amused gaze, as if watching a stubborn kitten baring its claws, warily rejecting anyone who tried to get close.
Hiding had become Ji Ling's instinct.
So, what exactly are you afraid of?
Ji Ling, under Gabriel’s sharp gaze, felt uneasy. After a moment, he raised his chin and spat out a defiant statement. “Don’t be so smug. His Majesty and Carlos will come to save me! They won’t let you get away with this!”
A few seconds later, Gabriel chuckled again.
With a vague hint of teasing.
Ji Ling's face turned bright red, as if his lie had been exposed. But how could that be? He nervously swallowed and cautiously watched the man.
Recalling how Gabriel had teased him countless times before, Ji Ling wondered how he should respond if Gabriel pressed him further.
But this time, Gabriel didn’t continue the conversation. He stood up, came over to Ji Ling, and blindfolded him again, tying his hands behind his back.
Ji Ling was effortlessly lifted into Gabriel’s arms.
What came next was routine.
Lying there in a daze, Ji Ling thought about how terrifying the power of habit was. Sometimes, you have no choice but to do something, no choice but to accept something. At first, it was difficult, but after trying, you realized it wasn’t so bad, and you gradually stopped caring.
Like the time he didn’t like eating durian, but a friend really loved it. After being forced to try it, he realized it wasn’t as disgusting as he thought.
Damn, why was he thinking about all this...
His mind wandered, only to be pulled back by Gabriel’s increasingly bold actions...
………………
A few minutes later, Ji Ling lay there like a dead fish.
His face was full of despair.
Today... Today was terrifying. It must have been because he got distracted—he actually ended up enjoying it!!!
Ji Ling was utterly devastated, anxious, and panicked. He didn’t dare let his mind wander again. What is happening to him? Is he turning... gay? But he doesn’t even like men! How can this be?
Thinking back on what just happened, Ji Ling was so ashamed he wanted to die. This was beyond embarrassing ah!
What was worse, Gabriel came closer and kissed the tear-soaked blindfold, letting out a low, hoarse laugh. “Do you like it?”
Ji Ling clenched his teeth and refused to speak.
Ha, you want me to say I didn’t like it, so you can throw that ‘you say no, but your body says yes’ line in my face to humiliate me? Keep dreaming! Never!
Given this bastard’s twisted nature, Ji Ling was sure Gabriel would say something like that. Today had been embarrassing enough—if Gabriel actually said that, Ji Ling would throw himself into a river out of shame.
So he keeps his mouth shut. No way he is speaking!
I’ve seen through your trick!
After a while, Ji Ling felt Gabriel hugging him and heard a faint chuckle.
Even though it was a raspy and unpleasant sound, Ji Ling somehow thought he detected a hint of helplessness and affection in it. He shuddered. That had to be his imagination...
Gabriel’s fingers brushed lightly over Ji Ling's neck as he untied the blindfold. Ji Ling knew this meant it was over.
Suppressing his overwhelming shame, Ji Ling snapped back to reality. Though he didn’t mind being confined here for now—after all, going back would only mean being trapped between Jing Sui and Carlos, constantly acting and protecting himself—there was someone else, Ning Yu... He was also locked up here!
It had been over ten days. He didn’t know how Ning Yu was doing, or whether his wounds had healed...
Over time, Ji Ling had learned Gabriel’s ways. As long as he behaved, Gabriel wouldn’t make things difficult for him. In fact, sometimes he was even quite considerate and gentle.
Ji Ling took a deep breath and said, “I want to see Ning Yu…”
Gabriel paused.
Ji Ling couldn’t see anything, but he bit his lip and continued. “I’ve been doing everything you asked... I’ve been obedient... I just want to see him and make sure he’s okay. If he’s not, I... I won’t listen to you anymore!”
His face grew hot, as if it was burning, and he waited anxiously.
This was the first time he’d asked Gabriel for something in all these days. It wasn’t an unreasonable request. Surely Gabriel would agree, right? Ji Ling thought hopefully, a look of anticipation on his face.
However, at that moment, he noticed Gabriel's breathing slow deliberately, as if...he was suppressing something.
Before Ji Ling could figure out what was happening...
The man who had been calm and composed a moment ago suddenly tightened his hold on Ji Ling, grabbed his chin, and kissed him fiercely!

Ji Ling: I swear I’m straight QAQ
