CH 14
When Chi Le was in class, he looked back and found that Sheng Zhuo was holding the pen in his hand while listening to the class as usual.
Seeing the handsome appearance of Sheng Zhuo’s turning pen, he felt a little greedy, and couldn’t help but try turning it, but the pen was like a basketball, and it seemed that it was not so flexible in his hand. It flew out and rolled down the table to the back row.
Chi Le looked back, and the pen stopped under Sheng Zhuo’s desk. He glanced at the English teacher on the podium, leaned his back against the chair, and said in a low voice to Sheng Zhuo behind him, “Help me pick up the pen.”
Sheng Zhuo smiled softly, and deliberately sat still: “Who can help you pick up the pen?”
“Huh?” Chi Le looked at him puzzled.
Sheng Zhuo cleared his throat, “I also want to be Fang Younian’s grandfather.”
Innocently caught off guard, Fang Younian sneezed in the next classroom.
“..Brother! Brother, can you do it?” Chi Le begged softly, “Brother Zhuo, please help me pick up the pen quickly, otherwise the teacher will have to reprimand me when he sees it.”
The English teacher is notoriously strict. Once caught by him, he would take him to the office and reprimand him alone. Chi Le didn’t dare to provoke him.
Sheng Zhuo bent down to pick up the pen, Chi Le reached out to take it, but Sheng Zhuo didn’t let go.
The English teacher happened to be asking other people questions and didn’t pay attention to their situation here.
Chi Le took the opportunity to look back at Sheng Zhuo, with doubts in his eyes, and saw Sheng Zhuo furrowing his brow, deep in thought, as he stared at him, lightly gripping the pen in his hand.
“What’s wrong?” Chi Le blinked, puzzled.
Sheng Zhuo gazed at him for a couple of seconds and casually asked, “Why do you think someone suddenly starts treating another person well?”
Chi Le laughed without thinking about it: “You’re so silly, of course, it’s because they like them.”
Sheng Zhuo looked at his bright eyes, let go of his hand, and was stunned for a moment.
Chi Le took out the pen without question, didn’t think about it at all, and continued to mindlessly listen to the class.
But his phrase ‘Of course it’s because they like them’ has been replaying in Sheng Zhuo’s mind, and he can’t calm down for a long time.
Sheng Zhuo lowered his eyes, slightly startled.
In fact, before Zhuang Xinchun raised this question, it’s not that he didn’t think about it, but he couldn’t think of the answer, so he didn’t delve into it. However, he neither believed the excuse that Chi Le was doing good deeds every day, nor did he believe in Zhuang Xinchun’s malicious provocation. He wanted to hear what Chi Le himself would say.
Now.. Chi Le’s answer really made it difficult for him to calm down.
Chen Yunzhou glanced sideways at Sheng Zhuo, and found it incredible that he could actually see Sheng Zhuo dazed one day?
He secretly took a photo of Sheng Zhuo in a daze and sent it to Fang Younian, with the words ‘Sheng Zhuo actually lost his mind in class, can you believe it?’.
Fang Younian was obviously also secretly playing with his mobile phone, and he quickly texted back – ‘He can be friends with his bitter rival, so why not believe it?’
Chen Yunzhou: “..”
Chen Yunzhou handed the chat record to Sheng Zhuo, “Look at how deep the old Fang’s resentment is.”
Sheng Zhuo stared at the record for half a second, with doubt in his eyes, “Did I just daze off?”
“..” Chen Yunzhou was speechless for a while, “Is this the point?”
Sheng Zhuo looked away from the phone, his eyes flickered slightly, and suddenly asked: “Why do you think Chi Le is so nice to me all of a sudden?”
“What else could it be?” Chen Yunzhou looked nonchalant. “I mean, come on, Mr. Academic Genius, don’t you understand even this?”
Sheng Zhuo’s expression froze, and a complicated expression appeared on his face, “You also think..”
Chen Yunzhou laughed loudly: “Of course he is impressed by your charisma and wants to be friends with you!”
Sheng Zhuo: “..”
Chen Yunzhou patted his shoulder and said, “Believe me, you two will definitely become loyal brothers who would sacrifice everything for each other!”
Sheng Zhuo: “..” God damn it.
Chi Le in front was not idle either. As soon as the bell rang after class, he took out his mobile phone and searched. He was still thinking about Sheng Zhuo going to the winter camp and wanted to see if he could still sign up. Anyway, Chi Jindong always wanted to send him to summer camp before, and now he would not object to switching to winter camp. Secondly, he is afraid that his future wife will be bullied in a strange place. After all, Omegas are very fragile. Sheng Zhuo has the possibility of secondary maturation at any time, he, the future Alpha, must shoulder his own responsibilities, and cannot relax at all times.
Jian Cheng took out a handful of melon seeds from the hole in the table, glanced at Chi Le’s phone while nibbling, and followed the words on it, “Tengfei Winter Camp?”
Chi Le nodded indiscriminately, clicked on the official website, and found that the online registration date had long since expired, so he frowned in disappointment.
Jian Cheng said “Hey”, and hugged Chi Le’s shoulders with a smile, “I haven’t told you yet, how do you know that I’m going to Tengfei to work during the winter vacation?”
Chi Le’s eyes lit up, and he immediately put down his phone, “Are you going to Tengfei Winter Camp?”
Jian Cheng nodded, “Yes, to be a teaching assistant.”
“Didn’t you always work as a tutor during the winter vacation in previous years?”
“This job pays more than being a tutor. When I saw the recruitment information, I switched to this job.” Jian Cheng was puzzled, “You didn’t know I was going? Then why did you search for this?”
“Sheng Zhuo is going to participate in this winter camp during the winter vacation.” Chi Le paused for a moment, then said with a surprised expression, “That’s not right, do you mean that you, a second year, are going to be a teaching assistant for the first year?”
Jian Cheng: “..” Heartbroken.
His eyelids trembled, he put down the melon seeds in his hand, and explained aloud: “The people who can participate in this winter camp are a group of rich young masters and little princesses. They are particularly precious, and there’s no room for mistakes. That’s why there are five teaching assistants in each group. Moreover, this winter camp focuses mainly on daily activities rather than academic exchanges. It aims to cultivate comprehensive development in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, and aesthetics. When I applied for the position, the supervisor noticed that I am of the same age as the participants, which allows me to better understand their needs and communicate with them more easily. That’s why they decided to keep me.”
“The person in charge of our winter camp is very responsible. He maintains the principle of putting the students first and considers the students in everything. Not only is the game part designed ingeniously, but he also focuses on caring for growth, so that everyone can have a perfect winter vacation.”
Chi Le turned his head and looked at him expressionlessly, “Don’t you think you look like you’re giving an advertisement right now?”
Jian Cheng: “..” Where did this annoying friend come from?
Chi Le was very interested and eagerly asked: “Can I still register offline now?”
Since all the people participating in this winter camp are a group of rich people, he has to support Sheng Zhuo even more. Otherwise, what would Sheng Zhuo do if he was bullied by those rich people who got in through Fang Younian’s ‘connection’?
Jian Cheng shook his head, “No, slots are already full.”
Chi Le pursed his lips, “Do you have employee benefits?”
“What employee benefits?”
Chi Le’s eyes rolled slightly, “For example.. help me through the back door and let me sign up?”
Jian Cheng: “..”
Jian Cheng felt speechless for a while, “Didn’t you ever dislike to participate in these activities before?”
“I like it now.” Chi Le thought to himself, he didn’t like Sheng Zhuo before, but wouldn’t he marry Sheng Zhuo in the future?
Jian Cheng was silent for a while, and finally, under the gaze of Chi Le, he took out his mobile phone and called the person in charge. As a result, there were no employee benefits, but there was a quota! Someone unexpectedly quit the winter camp due to physical reasons, and there happened to be an extra spot. Jian Cheng quickly signed up for Chi Le and successfully squeezed him in.
Chi Le was so excited that he almost hugged Jian Cheng but remembering that he was a ‘family man’ now, he went to buy a bag of snacks for Jian Cheng instead to thank him.
After the two got the snacks, they walked past the bathroom. Chi Le asked Jian Cheng to go back to the classroom first and went to the bathroom by himself. Jian Cheng walked away with the snacks in his arms and forgot all about him, without even looking back.
Chi Le shook his head helplessly, opened the door, and walked into the bathroom. The class was about to start, but there was no one in the bathroom, there was only a remnant smell of cigarettes. It should be that someone was smoking in it just now.
Chi Le walked to the mirror in the bathroom to wash his hands, because he was happy about the successful registration, he hummed involuntarily and happily, and when he looked up, he saw Zhuang Xinchun pushing the door and walking in.
The faces of the two sank at the same time, and they averted their eyes at the same time.
Chi Le continued to wash his hands with his head down, the humming in his mouth had long since stopped, and the surrounding aura became cold and alienated.
Zhuang Xinchun stared at him for a while, but instead of avoiding him as usual, he raised his foot and walked over.
Zhuang Xinchun deliberately lowered his voice, his usual gentleness and kindness vanished from his face, replaced by a dark and sarcastic demeanor. “Chi Le, don’t you dislike Sheng Zhuo? Why are you so eagerly trying to please him now? Do you think Sheng Zhuo needs your carton of milk?”
The reason he was so persistent with Sheng Zhuo was that he was one of the few people on campus who knew Sheng Zhuo’s true identity. Sheng Zhuo was not only the sole heir of the Sheng family but also a top-tier S-class Alpha.
Although he didn’t know why Sheng Zhuo concealed his identity, he was happy that fewer people would rob him of Sheng Zhuo, so he never revealed this secret. He has been deliberately approaching Sheng Zhuo for the past two years, but Sheng Zhuo has been unmoved. Now Chi Le suddenly popped up to intervene, and Sheng Zhuo was so protective of Chi Le, so he couldn’t help being nervous.
Chi Le has long been accustomed to Zhuang Xinchun’s ‘face changer’, and was not too surprised, nor was he angry because of Zhuang Xinchun’s harsh words. After all, he was treating his wife well and didn’t care what others thought.
He turned off the faucet, didn’t even bother to give Zhuang Xinchun a look, and wanted to go out as soon as he lifted his foot.
However, Zhuang Xinchun blocked his way, and his voice was filled with frustration, “Chi Le, Sheng Zhuo is someone I’ve been looking for a long time ago, stay away from him!”
Chi Le looked at Zhuang Xinchun, a cold disgust flashed in his eyes, he snorted and shook the water off his hands, “What right do you have to keep me away from Sheng Zhuo?”
“Sheng Zhuo will be mine sooner or later. If I am not qualified, then you are even less qualified. You’d better be obedient and don’t get close to him, otherwise..” Zhuang Xinchun stared at Chi Le with an unkind expression, and smiled faintly, “Do you remember what happened when you were a child? Chi Le, hasn’t the lesson from the past taught you anything? You should know that you will not end well if you offend me.”
The sunlight came in from the window, leaving faint spots of light on Chi Le’s hair, and the thin forehead hair hung down in front of Chi Le’s eyes, covering his expression.
Zhuang Xinchun smiled confidently.
Chi Le moved suddenly, grabbed his collar, and pressed him against the wall forcefully, “Zhuang Xinchun, don’t talk to me about the past.”
His eyelids were thin and the tails of his eyes were long and narrow. When he lowered his eyes, he looked cold and sharp.
Zhuang Xinchun was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized, and continued to smile provocatively, “Lele, what do you think will happen if I tell the story of that year? Will everyone believe you or me?”
Chi Le’s face darkened, and he raised his fist to hit Zhuang Xinchun in the face. Zhuang Xinchun not only refused to retreat but raised his face, “Do you want Sheng Zhuo to know about those things?”
Chi Le froze.
There was a sound at the door, Fang Younian pushed the door open and walked in, and was taken aback when he saw the scene inside the door.
Zhuang Xinchun changed his face in an instant, grabbed Chi Le’s hand, and his voice became soft and pitiful, “Chi Le, my father is no longer your driver, do you still want to bully me like you did when you were a child?”
Chi Le: “..” We all went to the same school, so how did you learn to act?
Fang Younian’s complexion suddenly changed, he rushed over, pushed Chi Le away, and stood in front of Zhuang Xinchun, “Chi Le! What are you going to do, this is a school, not a place where you are lawless!”
Sheng Zhuo walked in behind Fang Younian, and frowned after seeing the situation inside, “What happened?”
When Zhuang Xinchun saw Sheng Zhuo, he acted more vigorously. He sobbed twice, forced two tears out of his eyes, his eyes were red, and looked softly at Sheng Zhuo, “Sheng Zhuo, I told you earlier and you still don’t believe that Chi Le is not a good person, just take a look, he dared to bully me like this at school, and even wanted to beat me. If you hadn’t come in, you would not know what have happened. Now that the facts are here, why do you think the things I said before are false?”
Chi Le’s heart tightened, and he unconsciously looked at Sheng Zhuo.
Sheng Zhuo raised his eyes unhurriedly, and glanced at the situation in the room, “The truth? Why didn’t I see anything.”
Zhuang Xinchun: “..”
Chi Le unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Zhuang Xinchun and hummed in his heart.
Do you think only you have the ability to change your face? Can’t I do it too?
Chi Le gritted his teeth, ran towards Sheng Zhuo suddenly, grabbed Sheng Zhuo’s sleeve, followed Zhuang Xinchun’s example, and sniffed aggrievedly, “Brother, they bullied me together.”
Sheng Zhuo: “..”
Zhuang Xinchun and Fang Younian were dumbfounded: “???”
The air froze for a moment, Fang Younian pointed at Chi Le, his fingers trembling with anger, “You’re talking nonsense! When I came in just now, I clearly saw that you were raising your fist to hit Zhuang Xinchun.”
After Zhuang Xinchun panicked, he managed to squeeze out two more tears, “Chi Le, how could you frame us? You were the one who bullied me just now, Sheng Zhuo, don’t believe him, there were only three people in the room just now, you were one step too late so maybe you didn’t see it clearly, Fang Younian and I can prove that it was Chi Le who wanted to hit me just now.”
Chi Le looked at Sheng Zhuo with a guilty conscience, and asked without confidence: “Although there are two of them, I am only one person, and no one can vouch for me, but who do you believe?”
Sheng Zhuo lowered his eyes and looked at him for a while with an unclear expression.
Just when Chi Le wanted to look away guiltily, Sheng Zhuo raised his hand and patted his head, with a hint of helplessness in his voice, “Of course, I believe you.”
Chi Le looked at him incredulously, his eyes lit up.
Zhuang Xinchun shouted angrily: “Sheng Zhuo!”
Sheng Zhuo turned to look at Zhuang Xinchun, and said lightly, “Don’t bully him.”
Zhuang Xinchun, who had always been ‘bullied’ by others, instantly turned extremely ugly, his lips were trembling, and he couldn’t utter a word for a long time, so he could only stare at Chi Le with his eyes, unprecedentedly angry.
Like a puppy backed by its owner, Chi Le stood beside Sheng Zhuo and looked at them arrogantly, so angry that Zhuang Xinchun wanted to take off his shoes and throw him in the face.
Fang Younian looked at Sheng Zhuo in disbelief, “When did you become so easily swayed?”
Sheng Zhuo glanced at Fang Younian, “Don’t believe everything that others say.”
Fang Younian: “???” I believed my eyes!
It’s obviously you, no matter what Chi Le says, you will believe it!
Chi Le looked at Fang Younian with a touch of pity, look! They are obviously friends, but why is there such a big gap in IQ between people?
Still, his wife is smart!
Fang Younian caught Chi Le’s eyes and choked, “..” Why did he feel that Chi Le looked at him like he was looking at a fool?
Sheng Zhuo led Chi Le out, and Chi Le who was neither angry nor upset, followed him refreshed, with the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably.
After Sheng Zhuo stepped out, Zhuang Xinchun reluctantly stepped forward and grabbed Chi Le’s arm, whispering in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “I’m an Omega, you’re a Beta, do you think you’ve robbed me? ”
Chi Le laughed heartily, that’s too much of a steal!
You may be an Omega, but Sheng Zhuo will be an Omega too!
Chi Le gave Zhuang Xinchun a sympathetic look and walked out gracefully.
Your sexual love would have no future, you can only be sweethearts!
Zhuang Xinchun was directly stunned by Chi Le’s confident eyes.
