Not For You to Bite

Since the basketball game had been agreed upon long ago, it was time to compete sooner or later. After everyone took a nap, the group went to the nearby basketball court together without further delay. Others rushed to watch the fun after hearing about it.

Fang Younian was anxious along the road, and he didn’t know why he felt a little regretful. He looked at Chi Le and hesitated to speak, and after hesitating a few times, he asked, “Why don’t you…not compete?”

If he had known that Zhuang Xinchun was coming, he would not have mentioned the basketball game to Zhuang Xinchun before. After this period of time, he actually had no hostility to Chi Le. Now he just likes to bicker with Chi Le, so it doesn’t matter if the basketball game is won or not. Now there are so many people, and he is afraid that trouble will come later.

When Zhuang Xinchun heard his words, he smiled and said softly, “Brother Fang, didn’t you say that with your skills, even if Chi Le scored ten goals first, you would definitely win against Chi Le? Now you don’t want to compete, but it seems like Chi Le can’t afford to lose.”

Fang Younian glanced at Zhuang Xinchun and frowned slightly. He always felt that Zhuang Xinchun seemed to be deliberately provoking them to play this game.

“Fang Younian, don’t be too crazy.” Chi Le raised his chin and snorted softly when he heard the words and strode forward, “It’s not certain who will win.”

He has learned basketball for such a long time, so he is not willing to lose without a fight. Besides, he also wants to try his current level.

Fang Younian had no choice but to follow them to the basketball court, and said angrily, “Just compete, shooting or 1V1? You choose.”

The corners of Zhuang Xinchun’s lips turned up, and he spoke again slowly: “Brother Fang, so many of us have come here, if it’s just the two of you, the game will be so boring, we can’t just let everyone just watch from the sidelines, can we?”

A few people who didn’t understand the situation agreed one after another, and they all wanted to go out and have a good time.

Fang Younian asked impatiently, “Then what do you suggest?”

Zhuang Xinchun rolled his eyes lightly, glanced at Sheng Zhuo, bent his lips, and said, “Since we want to compete, why don’t we divide ourselves into two groups and play a formal match.”

Seeing that the others had no objections, Fang Younian could only ask, “How to group?”

“I’m in the same class as you, so of course I want to be in your group.” Zhuang Xinchun smiled brighter, “Chen Yunzhou and Brother Zhuo are your friends, so of course they want to be with us…”

Sheng Zhuo leaned on the basketball hoop, and said in a cold voice, “I’m on the same team as Chi Le.”

Zhuang Xinchun’s voice choked, he originally wanted to be in a group with Sheng Zhuo, Chen Yunzhou, and Fang Younian, so as to remind Sheng Zhuo who is closer to him, but Sheng Zhuo chose to be in a group with Chi Le?

Zhuang Xinchun pursed his lips unwillingly, “Brother Zhuo, you often play basketball with Fang Younian and Chen Yunzhou. You are still friends for many years. Compared with Chi Le, you have a better understanding. I think you are suitable to be with us…”

Sheng Zhuo’s voice was calm and unhurried, “Chi Le and I have been practicing together for half a month, and we also have a tacit understanding.”

Zhuang Xinchun tried to persuade him again, “But you and Fang Younian are good friends, don’t you want to help him?”

Sheng Zhuo glanced at Fang Younian, “I don’t want to.”

Fang Younian: “…” I seem to have gotten used to it, and I don’t feel very sad.

Zhuang Xinchun bit his lips, knowing that Sheng Zhuo’s mind was already made up, it would be useless for him to say more, Sheng Zhuo was such a person, no one else could change his decision, even if he was not willing, there was nothing he could do about it.

The last group was divided into two groups, Chi Le, Sheng Zhuo, and Jian Cheng and two other students were in a group, Fang Younian, Chen Yunzhou, and Zhuang Xinchun and the remaining two students were in a group, a total of two groups played games, the group that scored more goals would win, and one student stayed as a referee.

The whistle blew and the game officially started.

Zhuang Xinchun wanted to show off in front of Sheng Zhuo. At the beginning of the basketball game, he actively grabbed the ball. He was the farthest away from the hoop and should have passed the ball out, but he ignored Fang Younian’s call and ran towards the basketball hoop by himself. Halfway through the run, the figure in front of him flickered. He saw Sheng Zhuo’s face getting closer.

Zhuang Xinchun almost lost his breath.

Chi Le caught the basketball, jumped up to grab the rebound beautifully, and directly scored a goal, drawing cheers.

He looked back at Sheng Zhuo like a proud little swan, and Sheng Zhuo gave him a thumbs up from behind, and Chi Le couldn’t help but smile brightly.

Zhuang Xinchun looked annoyed, stomped his feet angrily, and rushed to grab the ball even more eagerly. Unfortunately, although he was eager to show himself, his ability was limited, and he was so busy that he didn’t score a single goal.

Every time Fang Younian asked him to pass the ball, he refused to pass it, as if he didn’t hear it, and refused to cooperate at all. Fang Younian was really angry and anxious.

The others were not much better, the atmosphere was messed up by Zhuang Xinchun, no matter how good Fang Younian’s skills were, there was nowhere to show them, and their team had not been cooperating well, not only failed to score goals but also conceded the ball a few times, everyone gradually became annoyed, and the coordination became even more difficult.

In contrast, Chi Le’s team cooperated quite well, and Sheng Zhuo seemed more like he was playing with Chi Le. He effortlessly moved around, focusing on stealing the ball and passing it to Chi Le. Whether Chi Le could score or not, he was happy. As long as he stole the ball frequently, even if he got ten shots and Chi Le could only score two, it was enough for him.

The score between the two teams gradually widened, which was unexpected by both sides. Although Chi Le was full of confidence, he never thought that he could win against Fang Younian in a short period of time. He thought that as long as he didn’t lose too badly, it would be fine, but who knew that Zhuang Xinchun actually proposed a grouping, which actually helped him and made up for his shortcomings? If it was really 1v1, he might have no chance of winning at all.

Fang Younian’s group didn’t agree with each other, and they didn’t cooperate well with each other. They were holding each other back, and Chi Le laughed.

Fang Younian gritted his teeth and wanted to win the round, but it was a pity that there was Jian Cheng. Although Jian Cheng was busy working all day, he actually played basketball very well, blocked him perfectly, and even snatched the ball from him.

Fang Younian felt a little familiar with Jian Cheng’s way of playing basketball. He couldn’t help but frown, and looked at Jian Cheng suspiciously, but Jian Cheng didn’t know anything about it, and only concentrated on playing.

Zhuang Xinchun saw that his chances of scoring the ball were not high, and everyone present was better than him, so he directly gave up on suppressing Chi Le in basketball, and no longer played basketball seriously, but turned all his attention to Sheng Zhuo.

He glanced around, taking advantage of obstructing others to block himself in front of Sheng Zhuo, shielding him from looking at Chi Le. Seizing the opportunity, he moved closer to Sheng Zhuo. He was an Omega, and Sheng Zhuo was an Alpha. He refused to believe that Sheng Zhuo wouldn’t be affected by his pheromones. Exercising was a perfect chance to release pheromones, and he couldn’t let him slip away.

Chi Le was having a great time, but when he turned around, he saw Zhuang Xinchun constantly surrounding Sheng Zhuo and even leaning toward him. However, Sheng Zhuo had a cold expression and glared at Zhuang Xinchun several times with impatience. Helplessly, Zhuang Xinchun seemed to be sticking to him, pretending to accidentally bump into him each time, but unfortunately, it was during the game, and Sheng Zhuo couldn’t push him away, as that would be a foul.

Zhuang Xinchun met Chi Le’s gaze, gave him a provocative look, staggered, and fell on Sheng Zhuo’s body, taking the opportunity to release a little pheromone.

Chi Le was extremely furious, feeling as if his own wife had been treated disrespectfully. Without hesitation, he angrily threw the basketball in his hand, directly hitting the space between Sheng Zhuo and Zhuang Xinchun. Zhuang Xinchun was startled and quickly moved away.

Sheng Zhuo’s ugly expression eased, and the corners of his lips raised slightly.

Chi Le clapped his hands, and said without hesitation, “So the basketball hoop is not there, I didn’t see it clearly.”

Zhuang Xinchun gasped non-stop, “The hoop is on the west side, and you threw the ball to the east, so you didn’t see clearly?”

“Oh, my eyesight is bad, you better be careful, next time I will treat you as a basketball hoop and throw it directly at you.” Chi Le snorted, and if he dared to take advantage of his wife, he would never show mercy.

Young Master Chi loves his wife so much, okay?

Zhuang Xinchun didn’t give up and wanted to join in again.

Sheng Zhuo frowned and glanced at Chen Yunzhou, Chen Yunzhou immediately came to defend him and grabbed Zhuang Xinchun’s position, Zhuang Xinchun couldn’t squeeze through, no matter how angry, he had nothing to do with them, he could only defend others resentfully, but his mind was not on the game at all, and he didn’t play the game seriously at all.

Fang Younian took advantage of their quarrel and scored a few goals with all his strength. Unfortunately, the game time was limited, and in the end, their group lost by two points.

Chi Le won for the first time in his life, and couldn’t hide his excitement, excitedly said: “You lost!”

Fang Younian turned his head sullenly, “A loss is a loss, and I don’t deny it.”

Chi Le raised his eyebrows, “You haven’t forgotten our bet, have you? Don’t deny it.”

Fang Younian’s face was troubled. He was not someone who would not admit defeat, but there were so many people present, so he couldn’t open his mouth to call him Grandpa Chi Le in public.

Chi Le didn’t make things difficult for him, and sent away all the students who were watching, leaving only those who knew the inside story.

Fang Younian tried to discuss, “I don’t want to call you Grandpa, can I call you Dad?”

“No, I already have a son.”

“Who?”

“Jian Cheng.” Chi Le patted Jian Cheng’s shoulder, “Son, you haven’t called Dad for many years, and others have already started to question our father-son relationship!”

Jian Cheng looked at Fang Younian with a smile, gloating in his eyes.

Fang Younian was struck by lightning, “Then he became my father?”

Jian Cheng chuckled.

“Are you calling or not?” Chen Yunzhou booed without thinking it was a big deal.

Fang Younian gritted his teeth and could only bite the bullet and let out a low voice: “…Grandpa.”

Chi Le leaned on Sheng Zhuo’s shoulder, laughing non-stop, “Hey grandson!”

Fang Younian: “…” So they were waiting for him here.

Sheng Zhuo looked at Chi Le with curved eyebrows, smiled with his head down, and wiped the sweat off his eyebrows with his hand.

Zhuang Xinchun watched their intimate movements, his chest heaved violently, and his eyes were full of jealousy.

Chi Le dragged Sheng Zhuo over, and then smiled at his opponent Fang Younian, and said, “I forgot to tell you, this is your master.”

Fang Younian: “…”

Sheng Zhuo coughed, and looked at him sympathetically, “Actually, you have an uncle dog, the one on my profile picture, called Gummy Bear.”

Fang Younian: “???” Who is delighting in other people’s misfortune? Has the friendship boat really capsized like this?

Chen Yunzhou silently laughed beside him until his shoulders trembled, and finally, he couldn’t help laughing and knelt down on the ground. He used a laughter-choked voice to console Fang Younian: “Remember this for the future, don’t make bets with others so casually.”

Fang Younian’s head drooped, and his voice was annoyed, “It’s all because I didn’t use my lucky basketball today. If I used my lucky basketball, we would definitely win.”

Chen Yunzhou said mercilessly: “Your basketball is almost worn out, is it still useful?”

“Nonsense!” Fang Younian took out a ball from his backpack, “I kept it so well, how could it not be used?”

Chi Le stared at the basketball in Fang Younian’s hand, then looked up at Sheng Zhuo suspiciously, isn’t this the broken basketball that Sheng Zhuo always held before? Turns out it belongs to Fang Younian?

Jian Cheng stared at the ball in Fang Younian’s hand, with a surprised expression, and instinctively asked, “Isn’t this the ball I gave to Xiao1means little Chengzi when we were kids? How did it end up with you? It even has my signature on it.”

Chi Le looked at the ghostly symbols on the basketball, “…” He didn’t realize that it was the word ‘Jian Cheng’ before.

Fang Younian raised his head in disbelief as if struck by lightning.

Jian Cheng explained, “I signed it when I was seven years old, and I also learned how to write artistic calligraphy from celebrities, so the handwriting will inevitably be ugly.”

Chi Le was puzzled, “Who is Xiao Chengzi?”

“A little boy I knew before, I was Chengzi, and he was younger than me, of course, he was Xiao Chengzi.”

Chi Le: “.”

Jian Cheng fell into memories, “At that time, my parents had just passed away, I was in a bad mood, and that kid was always pestering me, so I teased him and taught him how to play basketball. Later, I moved to my uncle’s house and never saw him again.”

Fang Younian’s body stiffened, and he slowly turned his head to look at Jian Cheng, gritting his teeth, “…Big, bro-ther?”

Jian Cheng was taken aback for a moment, suddenly realized something, and suddenly opened his mouth wide.

When Fang Younian was seven years old, he met a big brother who was half a head taller than him. The big brother was taciturn and a little gloomy. He sat alone under the wall all day. Fang Younian, who was still a kid at the time, thought that the other party was extremely cool. At that time, he especially liked watching martial arts dramas.

Children are always prone to adore older children, and Fang Younian is no exception.

The big brother can play basketball. He begged for a long time before he would teach him. He asked how old he was. After hearing his age, the big brother was silent for a long time and told him with a serious face that he was three years older than him. Although he felt that the big brother who was three years older was not much taller than himself, he still admired him very much.

Later, the big brother was going to move, so he gave him a basketball when he parted.

He cried miserably at the time, and he has always regarded this basketball as a baby for so many years! He just looks forward to reuniting with his big brother in the future, so that he can tell his big brother that he is very good at playing basketball now.

Fang Younian’s eyes were red with anger, and he yelled at Jian Cheng: “You lied to me! You clearly said you were three years older than me!”

“…Who made you shorter than me at that time.” Jian Cheng scratched the center of his brows guiltily, laughed dryly, and tried to pretend to be confused, “It turned out to be you, and you grew up so much in a blink of an eye, and now you are taller than me, I am very pleased.”

Fang Younian’s eyes became even redder with anger. He stared at Jian Cheng, almost gnashing his teeth: “Stop talking to me like a big brother. I have seen your ID card. You are obviously the same age as me!”

Seeing that the situation was not good, Jian Cheng ran away, “Don’t be impulsive.”

Fang Younian roared and rushed after Jian Cheng.

Chi Le looked at them worriedly, hesitating whether to chase after them, “Will they fight?”

“Don’t worry.” Sheng Zhuo said indifferently, “Fang Younian can’t beat Jian Cheng.”

Chi Le: “…” I was inexplicably relieved from what was going on.

Everyone simply ignored them and let them resolve their grievances by themselves. A group of people walked back unhurriedly; everyone was a little tired after playing a round of basketball. After passing by a convenience store, Chi Le went in to buy water for everyone.

Zhuang Xinchun walked at the back and looked at Chi Le and Sheng Zhuo with a gloomy expression, he was sullen, kicked the stones under his feet irritably, and looked back at the empty basketball court, still regretting the decision just now, knowing that it would not be beneficial, he might as well not have proposed to divide people into two groups, he really picked up the stone and shot himself in the foot.

He glanced away and saw a person standing in the corner not far away. Seeing him looking over, the person quickly turned and left.

Zhuang Xinchun’s pupils shrank, even though the figure flashed very quickly, he could still see that person’s face clearly.

His eyes were full of shock, and he stopped in his tracks.

He swallowed, stretched his neck, and looked around; the person from the corner of the wall was long gone.

He stood there with an unpredictable expression, suddenly smiled for a long time, looked up at Chi Le who was walking in front, and gloominess flashed in his eyes.

“It turned out to be an acquaintance…”

Back at the villa, Chi Le went directly to his room to take a shower. He sweated a lot from playing basketball just now. He was anxious to shower, and Zhuang Xinchun hadn’t left yet.

After taking a bath, Chi Le was so tired that he lay on the bed with limp legs and feet, his whole body was panting, “Why am I more tired than running for 3 kilometers?”

He felt that his physical strength had declined recently, and he thought silently, could it be that he was about to mature into an Alpha?

Sheng Zhuo stroked his blow-dried hair, “Then take a break” Chi Le nodded, watching Sheng Zhuo enter the bathroom with a change of clothes.

When Sheng Zhuo came out of the shower, Chi Le had already fallen asleep on the pillow, his limbs stretched out, his head sunken in the soft pillow, and he slept soundly.

Sheng Zhuo smiled, found a book at random, sat on the sofa next to him and read it, and occasionally looked up at Chi Le, the west slanting sun shone in from the window, and the room was warm and cozy.

Sheng Zhuo didn’t get up until Chen Yunzhou knocked on the door and asked him about the Olympiad math questions. He didn’t want to disturb Chi Le, so he closed the door carefully and followed Chen Yunzhou to his room.

Sheng Zhuo didn’t know, Zhuang Xinchun slipped in after he left.

The sun shone on the head of the bed, and Chi Le shivered in his sleep. He woke up suddenly, opened his eyes, and met Zhuang Xinchun’s cold gaze. He sat up from the bed at once, his brows tightened, “Why did you come in?”

Zhuang Xinchun leaned against the door, crossed his chest, and looked at him, his voice was unpredictable: “Lele, so many people celebrated your birthday today, you must be very happy, right?”

Chi Le rubbed his hair annoyed, “Get out! This is my room!”

Zhuang Xinchun looked at the room and sneered, “It’s your room, and it’s also Sheng Zhuo’s room. It’s ridiculous that you two stay together.”

“It has nothing to do with you.” Chi Le’s face turned completely cold.

“How could it have nothing to do with me?” Zhuang Xinchun approached step by step, “Didn’t I warn you; Sheng Zhuo is mine.”

Chi Le just found it ridiculous, “You said he’s yours, so he’s yours? It’s just as ridiculous as when you always told your classmates that my dad is your dad, and your dad is my dad. Zhuang Xinchun, you really haven’t changed at all.”

Zhuang Xinchun remembered the embarrassing things he had done for vanity before, and his face became ugly.

He and Chi Le used to go to the same kindergarten, and Chi Jindong often asked his father to pick them up after school. When he was a child, he felt ashamed that his father was a driver, so he always told others that Chi Jindong was his father, and that the driver in front was Chi Le’s father.

But these lies are easily exposable, so when he grew up, he learned to be smart and stopped lying. Instead, he used this matter to win the sympathy of others and make everyone hate Chi Le. He has been using this method for so many years and he has become proficient in it. But recently, for some reason, it seems to be ineffective. Fang Younian and Sheng Zhuo seem to be out of his control.

Zhuang Xinchun stared fiercely at Chi Le, suddenly smiled, and said in a familiar tone: “Lele, I just saw an acquaintance next to the basketball court. He was wearing a peaked cap, and he was hiding in the corner opposite the basketball court. He seemed to be peeking at us the whole time. Guess who it is.”

Chi Le didn’t listen at all, “Get out!”

Zhuang Xinchun smiled meaningfully and laughed twice as if he was talking about something funny. Just when Chi Le was impatient and wanted to drive him out in person, he said slowly: “Although it has been many years, I recognized him at a glance. He is the tutor who taught us when we were young. Do you remember? His surname is Zou, and we always called him Mr. Zou when we were young.”

Chi Le’s face turned pale in an instant, and his fingers on the quilt unconsciously tightened.

“If I remember correctly…” Zhuang Xinchun looked at him and smiled, with a slow and gloomy voice, “His name seems to be…Zou Mingkai.”

Chi Le’s body trembled.

Zhuang Xinchun looked at his expression with satisfaction, and the curve of his lips gradually widened, “It should be this name, right? I remember that he liked you very much at that time, always staring at you, and even taught you how to answer…”

Chi Le’s eyes surged with emotion, and he suddenly picked up the LEGO next to him and threw it at Zhuang Xinchun.

Zhuang Xinchun dodged cleverly, and the LEGO fell to the ground with a bang, stirring up a few wisps of dust.

Zhuang Xinchun giggled twice, as if he was very excited by provoking Chi Le.

“I guess you won’t forget, after all, he left such a deep impression on you. You probably won’t be able to forget him in this lifetime. He’s the shadow of your life, and now… that shadow has returned.”

Chi Le’s body froze suddenly, and he uttered a word coldly between his lips and teeth, “Get lost!”

Zhuang Xinchun managed to smile, and before turning around to leave, he said lightly, “Why do you think he appeared here in a sneaky way, he…could he be looking for you?”

Chi Le subconsciously remembered that strange gaze some time ago, as well as that familiar sticky feeling, and his whole body turned cold.

Zhuang Xinchun triumphantly pushed the door open and went out, only took two steps to see Sheng Zhuo standing not far from the corridor.

Sheng Zhuo leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, looking at him coldly.

Zhuang Xinchun took a breath, walked over with a smile, “Brother Zhuo, are you waiting for me?”

Sheng Zhuo’s voice was cold, “Yes.”

Zhuang Xinchun’s eyes lit up, and his voice became gentler, “What do you want to tell me?”

Sheng Zhuo was always very impatient with him normally, it would be good if he could get a perfunctory sentence out of ten sentences, but it was rare that Sheng Zhuo would take the initiative to talk to him, he couldn’t help being a little excited.

Sheng Zhuo drooped his eyes, his eyes were full of coldness, “Stay away from Chi Le in the future.”

The smile on Zhuang Xinchun’s face froze, and a look of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

“Are you afraid that I will hurt Chi Le? Then you have wronged me. His family is rich and powerful. Obviously, I should be afraid of him. You don’t know? I was bullied by him a lot when I was a child. I told you a long time ago. Don’t be fooled by his appearance. He looks innocent, but in fact, he is sinister and vicious, and he has many masks!”

Sheng Zhuo’s eyes were as cold as an icy abyss, “Are you used to dressing up, do you think everyone will be fooled by you?”

Zhuang Xinchun swallowed nervously, but still bit the bullet and said: “Brother Zhuo, you have misunderstood me, I don’t know what bad things Chi Le said about me in front of you but don’t believe him, I am not what he says…”

“I said don’t call me Brother Zhuo.” An impatient look flashed across Sheng Zhuo’s face, and the brows frowned, “I repeat, Chi Le has never said a single bad word about you in front of me. I already know what kind of person you are, and there is no need for others to say anything.”

Zhuang Xinchun’s face turned pale, and his voice trembled, “Since you said you knew what kind of person I am before, then why have you never been like this before, let alone caring about me…”

“I didn’t care before because it had nothing to do with me.” Sheng Zhuo interrupted him with a more severe tone.

Zhuang Xinchun gritted his teeth and looked at him with gloomy eyes, “It has nothing to do with you now.”

“It has.” Sheng Zhuo looked at him coldly, his eyes dry and intense, “From now on, everything about Chi Le will be related to me.”

Zhuang Xinchun was stunned, his fingertips were cold.

“This is the last time I warn you, stay away from us.”

Until Sheng Zhuo left, Zhuang Xinchun stood alone for a long time, unable to recover.

*

Jian Cheng and Fang Younian had a fight.

Jian Cheng finally got rid of Fang Younian, walked back rubbing his wrists, and came to the door of the villa, and saw Sheng Zhuo leaning against the wall alone, and looked towards him when he heard a noise, his eyebrows and eyes were a little cold.

Jian Cheng felt surprised, “Are you waiting for me?”

“Yeah.” Sheng Zhuo said in a low voice, “I want to ask you something.”

Jian Cheng walked over, “What’s the matter?”

Sheng Zhuo remembered the conversation he had just heard, pursed his lower lip, and asked straight to the point: “Do you know Zou Mingkai?”

Jian Cheng’s complexion suddenly changed.

“It seems that you know.” Sheng Zhuo glanced at his face, “Tell me what’s going on.”

Jian Cheng frowned in awkwardness but knowing that the other party was concerned about Chi Le, he hesitated for a while and said, “That happened when Lele was eleven years old.”

“At that time, Zhuang Xinchun’s father was still working as a driver in Chi Residence. Uncle Chi took great care of them. Uncle Chi hired a tutor for Lele and asked Zhuang Xinchun to attend classes with Lele. Zou Mingkai was that tutor.”

What did Sheng Zhuo think of, “Is he an art teacher?”

Jian Cheng looked up in surprise, “How do you know?”

Sheng Zhuo pursed his lips, thinking of Chi Le’s resistance to art class, and Zhuang Xinchun’s saying that Chi Le liked painting when he was a child, his eyebrows furrowed deeply, and his intuition told him that Zou Mingkai must have done something bad, that’s why Chi Le gave up even the things he liked.

Jian Cheng sighed: “Zou Mingkai is indeed an art teacher, and he also takes care of Lele and Zhuang Xinchun’s homework. At that time, Lele and Zhuang Xinchun were in elementary school, and Zou Mingkai was already in college. He was gentle and polite at that time, and he got along well with both Lele and Zhuang Xinchun. He offered to guide them with their homework. Uncle Chi agreed and gave him extra money. I didn’t expect Zou Mingkai…he is a pervert.”

Sheng Zhuo’s heart sank.

Jian Cheng’s brows furrowed deeply, “It happened to be a hailstorm that evening, Uncle Chi couldn’t come back, and Zou Mingkai couldn’t leave conveniently, so he stayed at Chi Residence, and Uncle Chi asked him to take care of two children, Zou Mingkai agreed politely, but I didn’t expect Zou Mingkai to have ulterior motives, and even wanted to take advantage of Chi Le while Chi Le was doing homework.”

Sheng Zhuo thought of Chi Le’s fear of hailstorms and his resistance to studying in private and felt a twinge of pain while knowing it from the bottom of his heart.

“Zhuang Xinchun went to wash up at that time and was not in the room. Lele reacted and wanted to run immediately. Zhuang Xinchun came back just in time to see this scene, but not only did he not help Lele, but he also locked the door from the outside when Lele was about to run out of the room.” Jian Cheng still couldn’t help his anger when he mentioned this matter. “Fortunately, the auntie who took care of Lele lived nearby. She was worried and came to see him. Just in time, she successfully rescued Lele, so nothing happened.”

Sheng Zhuo’s face was sullen, his expression was cold and heavy, and he was silent for a while before asking: “How was it solved later?”

“Uncle Chi called the police and fired Zhuang Xinchun’s father. He never heard about Zou Mingkai again. Why did you mention him suddenly?” Jian Cheng hadn’t heard of this name for many years, and when he heard it just now, he felt a thump in his heart.

Sheng Zhuo narrowed his eyes coldly, “Zhuang Xinchun said that he saw Zou Mingkai nearby just now.”

Jian Cheng’s expression was startled, and he suddenly became worried.

The two didn’t speak anymore, thinking separately.

Fang Younian walked back rubbing the bruise at the corner of his mouth, and glared at Jian Cheng, “Are you here as door gods?”

Sheng Zhuo looked up, “You came just in time, call your brother and ask him if there is an art teacher named Zou Mingkai in the winter camp.”

Fang Younian was in a bad mood and wanted to gag a few words, but seeing that he and Jian Cheng had serious faces, he called and asked without delay.

“My brother said that the art teacher of Class B is indeed called Zou Mingkai.”

Sheng Zhuo’s face darkened, he turned around and walked into the room.

He went upstairs to search around, but there was no one in the room. He panicked, went downstairs quickly, and asked Zhou Lu, who was staying in the living room, “Have you seen Chi Le?”

Zhou Lu ate potato chips and pointed to the back door, “He went out just now, look, that’s where he went.”

Sheng Zhuo’s complexion changed, “How long has he been out?”

“It’s been more than ten minutes.”

…

Chi Le came out from the back door of the villa and took a walk around the neighborhood first to make sure that the people around could see him, and when that familiar sticky gaze chased him, he calmly turned towards the sparsely populated path.

That sticky sight has been lingering around him, making him feel nauseous, and he involuntarily quickened his pace.

The people behind were very cautious and never showed up.

Chi Le pretended not to notice it and never looked back. Instead, he came to an empty alley and went in directly.

He took a few steps, dodged to the corner, held his breath, and listened to the approaching footsteps.

When the man approached, he grabbed the other man’s neck and punched him heavily in the abdomen.

Zou Mingkai let out a muffled groan, and that hideous face appeared in front of Chi Le. Chi Le punched again without hesitation, and Zou Mingkai’s face twisted in pain.

“Lele…”

Chi Le picked up his collar.

Zou Mingkai looked at his delicate face madly and smiled evilly at the corner of his bleeding mouth, “You look more and more beautiful.”

Chi Le’s eyes were filled with disgust, he pushed him down and threw him against the wall.

Zou Mingkai raised his hand and started to fight back, he is a young man after all, with extremely strong hands.

He clasped Chi Le’s arm firmly, pressed his face closer, stared at Chi Le with a disgusting expression, and licked the corner of his lower lip lewdly, “Lele, you are still as disobedient as you were when you were a child, but… the more you are like this, the more I like it.”

Chi Le threw him away with a backhand and punched him on the back of the neck.

Zou Mingkai gasped in pain. He couldn’t figure out that despite Chi Le looking so thin, he could fight so well. If he had known that Chi Le was so powerful now, he wouldn’t have dared to blatantly follow him. However, after observing for so many days, he managed to catch Chi Le out alone. Of course, he didn’t want to let go of this opportunity.

“Lele, you are the only one I can’t forget all these years… Don’t struggle, you can’t escape.”

Chi Le pursed his lips and said nothing, and used all his strength to beat him, every punch and every kick.

Zou Mingkai gradually lost his strength, more and more places on his body were beaten, and he couldn’t help dodging.

“Lele, hey! You stop first… If you don’t stop, I will be angry!”

Chi Le kicked him to the opposite wall with a bang.

Zou Mingkai’s face was pale, and he was in so much pain that he couldn’t speak.

Chi Le rubbed his sore wrist, and when he looked up, he saw Sheng Zhuo running over from the aisle beside him, his eyes were full of worry and anxiety, and he was panting, as soon as he saw him, he ran towards him.

Chi Le quickly retracted his hand, “…Why are you here?”

Wouldn’t it be bad for his future wife to see him so violent?

Sheng Zhuo looked him up and down, and after confirming that he was fine, he picked up Zou Mingkai’s collar and beat him up.

Hearing the sound of punches to the flesh, Chi Le felt a pain in his flesh, “…” What should be done? His wife seems to be more violent than him.

Zou Mingkai was so beaten up that he had no power to fight back, and finally collapsed on the ground like a rag, wailing and begging for mercy.

Chi Le was worried that Sheng Zhuo would kill someone if he beat him up again, so he quickly stopped him, “Alright, that’s enough.”

Sheng Zhuo kicked Zou Mingkai again, calmed down, and called the lawyer at home to let him come over to deal with this matter.

Zou Mingkai curled up on the ground, already passed out from the pain.

Sheng Zhuo hung up the phone, and turned to look at Chi Le, the hostility in his eyes remained, and his tone was a little harsh, “You lured him out by yourself, do you know how dangerous it is!?”

There was a trace of surprise in Chi Le’s eyes, and he asked cautiously, “Are you… angry?”

“…No.” Sheng Zhuo pulled him into his arms, and gently closed his eyes, “I’m just worried about you.”

Hearing his heartbeat which was obviously faster than usual, Chi Le felt a little warmth in his heart, and said with the corner of his mouth curled up, “I was really not good at fighting when I was young, so I was almost harmed by him, but I already know it now. To this day, I have learned Taekwondo for many years, just to beat this scumbag, and I have waited for it.”

He was actually in a good mood. Over the years, he had beaten Zou Mingkai countless times in his dreams, but he had never had the chance to beat him up himself. This time, he finally got the chance. When Zhuang Xinchun told him that he saw Zou Mingkai nearby, God knows how excited he was.

Sheng Zhuo let him go, grabbed his hand, and looked at it, “It’s red.”

Chi Le lowered his head and glanced, then waved his hands indifferently, “Hitting someone is fun only if your hands are red. Think about it, my hands are all red, he must hurt so much.”

Sheng Zhuo still pursed his lips, “Go back and apply the medicine.”

Chi Le fully agreed, thinking that Sheng Zhuo saw him beating someone just now, couldn’t help being a little worried, and tried to restore his image.

“I only beat bad people, never good people.” Chi Le looked at Sheng Zhuo pointedly, “I especially don’t beat up my wife.”

“…”

Sheng Zhuo raised his hand and rubbed his hair vigorously.
