Chapter 44: Thirteen And Twenty-one Years Old

Chen Zhao didn’t feed Daniel the medicine made from the perfect crystal directly. Instead, he had Daniel take a sleeping pill and then poured in the medicine after he was asleep.

To be honest, Chen Zhao just wanted to act mysterious.

If he gave Rasfa a black drug and then gave Daniel one to, people would easily think that Chen Zhao only had one trick. Then they would get some other ideas about the black drug and might even do dangerous things.

No matter how close they were, some things still had to be hidden. Plus, they weren’t even that close.

After the sleeping pill’s effect passed, Daniel woke up and found that he was still on the balcony.

He felt waves of itchiness coming from his thigh. He couldn’t bear the itchiness.

Daniel tore off the gauze and found that something was wriggling at the spot of amputation. Then he saw something extend out of his flesh. It was white and bloody.

It was a bone! A bone was extending outward—no, it was growing.

“What...what’s going on?”

Bearing the extreme itchiness, he watched as blood and muscle grew around the bone, covering it up. The progress was so strange that he gradually forgot about the itch.

An hour later, the supernatural and incomprehensible growth finally stopped. By then, his leg’s flesh and bone had reached his knee.

It was like a dream. Daniel was still in a daze.

Flesh growing back...This was crazy.

His knee hadn’t grown back yet, but Daniel completely believed Chen Zhao now. The man really...he really could make the left leg grow back!

This sounded entirely unbelievable, but it had really happened before his eyes.

“Chen? Where did Chen go?” Daniel looked around. He only saw Beelzebub sleeping on the ground. Chen Zhao had vanished.

Beelzebub opened his eyes and looked at Daniel. Then he shook his head in a human-like way.

Daniel grabbed the cane beside him and stood up with difficult. He saw Chen Zhao sleeping on the sofa.

Daniel was grateful to Chen Zhao, but the sun was setting soon. If Chen Zhao could get up and make him some food, he would be even more grateful.

“Chen, wake up.”

Chen Zhao was dead asleep, so Daniel had to poke him with the cane.

“Chen, time to get up.”

He finally opened his eyes. “What time is it? Dinner? What are we eating?”

Daniel was so done. “Chen, don’t you think that you’re the one who should cook dinner?”

“I’m tired...”

“What exactly did you do last night?”

“I saved an old granny with cancer and then f*cked a female cop ’till morning. I was going to rest at home, but then you *sshole tried to commit suicide.”

“Fine, it’s my fault, but I’m really hungry right now.”

“Okay, I’ll go see if there’s any food.”

Chen Zhao still got up and made dinner for him and Daniel.

“I cooked how I usually cook. I can’t be compared to your family’s chef. If you don’t like it, well, I can’t do anything about it.”

“It’s okay. I’m not picky. But if you can give me some beer, I’ll be even more grateful.”

“Are you even old enough?”

“Oh please. I can understand if you refuse to give me beer because I’m recovering. But if you’re doubting my age, I can’t accept it. How do I not look like an adult?”

“Fine. You’re still recovering. You can’t drink.”

...

After dinner, Chen Zhao and Daniel lay on the balcony to stargaze with a bunch of snacks and soda. With Daniel’s current condition, he really couldn’t drink alcohol.

“It would be perfect if I can smoke some weed now, but I know that even if you have it, you’ll say I’m injured and can’t smoke.”

Chen Zhao made a face. He didn’t feel like asking about this youth’s bad habits. He could only control himself.

“You only need at most seven days, and then you can be free.”

“Chen, are you a Druid?”

Daniel felt like Chen Zhao was the legendary Druid now. It was bizarre, but the most bizarre thing was that it was happening to himself. If Chen Zhao was a Druid, then it was still comprehensible.

“If that will help you accept things, then think of me as a Druid.”

“Teach me. I want to be a Druid too.”

“You can’t. You don’t have the talent. Plus, I haven’t gotten everything straight yet. How can I teach you?”

It was obviously painful for these two men to be stuck inside. The house was very fancy, but it still couldn’t hide the fact that it was boring.

“Zula, can you get a game set here? Daniel and I are going to go crazy.”

Zula brought different servers over, along with a big pile of games. She put them at the door and left. She was worried that it was taboo to see Daniel.

“Daniel, have you played with actresses before?”

“Yeah. I was 15 and in my grandpa’s manor. I thought we were dating, but then I realized that she’d slept with all the men in the manor—not just me. She was just using me. We broke up, but she got the chance to act in a movie that my grandpa’s company funded. She’s pretty famous in Hollywood now. You should’ve heard her name before. Lafa Dior.”

Chen Zhao thought for a moment, but he didn’t know who that was. After all, he didn’t care about celebrities at all. He’d only been in LA for a month too. If that woman was only a bit famous, then her name couldn’t have reached the other side of the world. It was normal that he didn’t know her.

“If you want to play with an actress, I can arrange it as long as she’s not an A-lister.”

“Don’t. This feels like prostitution to me. I’m not sad enough to do that. When was your first time?”

“I was 13... I paid ten dollars for a girl to give me a hand job.”

Chen Zhao cursed inwardly. This really was a dark society. His first wet dream had been when he was 14 years old, but this guy had lost his virginity at 13.

“So when was your first time?” It was Daniel’s time to ask.

“Twenty-one years old. My college classmate.” Chen Zhao was embarrassed.

“You never thought about spending money to get a girl?”

“Yes. It was during sophomore year when I wasn’t dating yet. I had the strongest sexual urges during that time too. My roommates and I got this idea, but we didn’t have much money. We heard that it was cheap at somewhere called a salon, so we asked around and went to the street. As expected, we were stopped by a girl in heavy makeup. We asked her how much and she said 40. Then I asked if it’ll only cost 40 for us three together and she called us r*tarded.”

Daniel burst out in laughter.

“Do you know where my coming of age ceremony was held?”
