CH 29
The lights were on in the room on the second floor, and Chi Le was sitting on the carpet, leaning against the sofa behind him, staring at the TV intently. On the screen was a swimming competition, which was reaching a critical point.
After a round of swimming, Chi Le turned his head to talk to Sheng Zhuo, only to find that Sheng Zhuo lowered his head, holding his hand and rubbing it gently, with an indescribably gentle expression.
Chi Le realized belatedly that his wife seemed to love him.
He moved his fingers, scratched Sheng Zhuo’s palm lightly, and said in a brisk tone: “I’m fine, don’t worry.”
Sheng Zhuo raised his head slightly, his hands still kept moving, “Just now the lawyer called me and said that the police received a lot of secretly taken photos from Zou Mingkai’s home, including many children’s photos, which should be able to convict him. Leave the rest alone for me to handle.”
Chi Le originally wanted to ask Sheng Zhuo where he got the lawyer, but thinking that Sheng Zhuo and Fang Younian were friends, and this incident happened during the winter camp, it should be the Fang family’s lawyer, so he nodded and didn’t ask any more questions. He hated Zou Mingkai so much that he didn’t want to hear anything about him. Anyway, he had already beaten him up and had enough fun. Now that they can find evidence and arrest him, it can be regarded as killing a pest for the people.
Chi Le finally defeated his enemy many years ago, and now he is in a good mood, and even wants to sing a song to listen to it.
Sheng Zhuo pinched his fingers lightly, with a gloomy expression, “Don’t worry, I won’t let him have another chance to hurt you.”
Chi Le wanted to refute, after all, he should be the one to protect his future wife, but when a new round of competition started on TV, he turned his gaze back and focused all his attention on the swimming competition, so he didn’t open his mouth to refute, but focused on watching again.
Sheng Zhuo had been immersed in his own thoughts just now and didn’t notice what was broadcasting on TV. When he looked up, he saw a stretch of white abdominal muscles, and several Alphas were wearing swimming trunks and getting ready to go into the water.
His eyebrows twitched, and he turned to look at Chi Le. Chi Le stared at the TV without turning his eyes, with a faint smile on his lips.
Sheng Zhuo tried to talk to him, “Would you like some fruit, I’ll go downstairs and get it for you.”
Chi Le looked at the TV screen without moving, “No need, you can eat by yourself.”
Sheng Zhuo pursed his lips into a straight line.
“I seem to have a pimple on my face, please help me take a look.”
Chi Le glanced quickly, then quickly looked away, and continued to stare at the TV screen, “No, Brother Zhuo is still handsome, and doesn’t have a single pimple.”
Sheng Zhuo didn’t speak.
Chi Le felt that the side had quieted down, and it was inexplicably a little chilly, so he couldn’t help turning his head to take a look, and saw Sheng Zhuo standing up suddenly, reaching out to take off his clothes.
Chi Le: “???”
His gaze couldn’t help but follow Sheng Zhuo, the lines of Sheng Zhuo’s abdominal muscles were clear, and the curve of his waist was also very beautiful. The light shone on it, like a piece of lustrous white jade, he couldn’t take his eyes away every time he saw it.
Sheng Zhuo walked to the cabinet, turned sideways, and glanced at Chi Le nonchalantly, seeing Chi Le staring at him, slightly curled his lower lip, and took out a pair of pajamas.
Chi Le saw him take out his pajamas but didn’t see him put them on. He only saw him pour a glass of water for a while, bend down to find something for a while, and kept roaming around in the room, making him restless.
When Sheng Zhuo finally put on his clothes, Chi Le managed to look away. The swimming competition on TV was over, and he only saw the final results of the competition, and there was no one on the field for a long time.
But seeing the results of the competition was enough, Chi Le turned off the TV and stretched himself.
Sheng Zhuo walked to the desk, saw the books on it, felt pain in his heart, turned back, and said to Chi Le: “Let’s study together.”
Chi Le’s scalp tightened, “..I’ll go down and eat some fruit, you learn, I won’t bother you.”
Sheng Zhuo came over, handed him his hand, and said in a soft tone: “The past is over, don’t be afraid.”
Chi Le pursed his dry lips.
He guessed that his secret might have been discovered by Sheng Zhuo.
Because of the impact of that incident back then, he has never been able to study with peace of mind in private. Whenever he sits alone at the desk, he always feels that Zou Mingkai seems to be standing behind him, reaching out to him at any time, making him restless for a moment, unable to study quietly, and whenever he stays in this kind of private study environment, those memories will always come rushing over, making him uncomfortable and restless, which caused the grades to gradually deteriorate.
Now that Zou Mingkai’s matter has been settled, he personally beat the terrifying existence in his memory, and now it’s time to come out of the shadows.
Chi Le made up his mind and hesitantly put out his hand to Sheng Zhuo to pull up from the floor.
Sheng Zhuo led him all the way to the table, pushed him on the chair, and then sat down next to him.
Chi Le moved his butt, feeling the same discomfort as usual, and the feeling of restlessness returned.
Sheng Zhuo flipped through the books on his desk, took out a math paper, and put it in front of him, “If you have any questions about this test paper, ask me.”
Chi Le wrinkled his face and tried to struggle, “Brother Zhuo, you see I have gone through so many things today, and my hands still hurt, why don’t we just forget about today.”
“You just said that your hands don’t hurt.” Sheng Zhuo was unmoved, “And you seem to be in a good mood, and you still have the mind to watch the Alphas’ competition, I believe it will not affect your answering the questions.
Chi Le: “..” If I had known earlier, I would have pretended to be sad.
Regret, just regret it.
But what does that have to do with him watching swimming competitions?
Chi Le was forced to pick up the pen helplessly, and under Sheng Zhuo’s gaze, he had no choice but to answer the paper in front of him.
Sheng Zhuo also found a book to read.
Chi Le frowned, stared at the paper for a while, and filled in the answer to the first multiple-choice question. After a while, he wrote other answers one after another and gradually began to answer the questions seriously.
Sheng Zhuo has been paying attention to his expression and heaved a sigh of relief.
Chi Le found that the tension in his heart gradually disappeared. It may be because he beat Zou Mingkai during the day and finally defeated the little monster in his heart. It may also be because of Sheng Zhuo’s company, the boring and difficult study time has sped up, and the usual gloomy memories did not hit him. Chi Le was submerged in the sea of questions unconsciously.
He looked up at the time and found that he had studied for almost two hours, which made him feel incredible and a little surprised.
Sheng Zhuo bent his lips, picked up the paper, and looked at it, “From now on, I will study with you for two hours every day, and you will gradually improve.”
Chi Le nodded excitedly and agreed.
He has always been a bad-performing student who loves to study. Now that he has a way to study seriously, he is naturally eager to learn more.
Lying on the bed at night, Chi Le felt very satisfied. After he fell asleep, he dreamed of Sheng Zhuo fighting during the day. Sheng Zhuo looked very angry at the time, and the way he beat people was very ruthless, but he was not afraid at all.
..
Chi Le felt that he had changed, he was no longer that simple little Beta, but a poor Alpha who was tempted by his wife.
When Chi Le woke up in the morning, the back of his neck was itchy. He stretched out his hand and scratched it twice before getting up. He only felt that his hands and feet were soft, and he seemed weaker than usual.
But soon recovered.
*
Fang Younian learned about yesterday’s incident from Jian Cheng, and what Zhuang Xinchun did when he was a child. He couldn’t help being furious and regretted that he believed in the wrong person.
He extremely regretted that he once targeted Chi Le because of Zhuang Xinchun. Thinking of all the past, he was filled with guilt. He woke up early in the morning, made breakfast himself, and waited anxiously for Chi Le to come downstairs to apologize.
So just as Chi Le walked down the steps, Fang Younian blocked him at the top of the stairs.
Chi Le raised his eyebrows: “Want to fight?”
Fang Younian: “.”
Fang Younian took a step back and bowed to Chi Le with a very sincere attitude, “Grandpa, I was wrong. From now on, I will be your grandson. If you need something, I will definitely handle it for you.”
Chi Le opened a pair of sleepy eyes, understood, and smiled slightly, “Okay, there is one thing I need you to do now.”
Fang Younian looked at him very positively, “What is it?”
“Get out of the way, I’m hungry and want to eat.”
Fang Younian laughed, knowing that Chi Le forgave him, so he quickly gave up his position and started fighting with Chi Le as usual.
*
The days of the winter camp were lively and energetic.
Time flies, and the half-month training camp life has come to an end in the blink of an eye.
Before leaving the winter camp, Fang Younian stared at the basketball he threw into the corner and looked again and again, hesitating for a long time, he was not willing to throw away the basketball he had cherished for so many years, and viciously put the ball into the suitcase, as if he had a grudge against the ball.
Jian Cheng glanced at him, pretending not to see anything.
Chi Le was carrying the suitcase, standing in the room where he and Sheng Zhuo stayed for half a month, reluctantly moving out, always feeling that the time was too short.
Sheng Zhuo came over and helped him carry the suitcase, “If you like, we will come to the winter camp next year.”
Chi Le laughed. “The college entrance examination will be over next year, so what winter camp will we attend?”
Sheng Zhuo thought for a moment and said, “Then shall we travel this time next year? You can go anywhere you want. ”
Chi Le’s eyes lit up immediately, and he was already looking forward to the graduation trip.
Accompanied by Sheng Zhuo, Chi Le’s parting mood eased a lot, and he bid farewell to everyone one by one. Everyone had a good time getting along during this time, and they were very reluctant to part with each other. They made an appointment to go out to play together and then left separately.
Chi Le and Sheng Zhuo dragged their suitcases and went out together. He arrived with one suitcase, he left with two suitcases, which contained the LEGOs that Sheng Zhuo gave him.
The Lunar New Year is approaching, and the streets are bustling with people. The street lamps emit a dim yellow light and snowflakes gently float down from the sky, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.
Chi Le looked around, if it wasn’t too late, he would really like to drag Sheng Zhuo for a stroll around.
Seeing that he almost stepped into a puddle, Sheng Zhuo reached out and gave him a hand, “Watch the road carefully.”
“Okay.” Chi Le agreed casually and turned to look at him.
Sheng Zhuo walked beside him, with the scarf he gave around his neck, his profile was clear and handsome, and the more he looked at it, the more beautiful he seemed.
“What are you looking at?” Seeing him staring at him, Sheng Zhuo asked with slightly drawn lips.
Standing on the street with people coming and going, Chi Le raised his head and raised the corners of his lips to him, his smile was clean and clear, and there were stars in his eyes.
Sheng Zhuo’s heart softened, he raised his hand to stroke his head and led him to continue walking.
Chi Le’s eyes were full of Sheng Zhuo, and accidentally bumped into the person in front of him, he quickly regained his senses, and supported that person, “Excuse me, are you okay?”
The man was wearing sunglasses. When he saw his eyes brighten, he took off his sunglasses and stared at him intently. His gaze was as excited as seeing a room full of gold. “Little classmate, you look so handsome, do you want to be a star?”
Chi Le was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Sheng Zhuo beside him, his eyes were full of question marks.
Sheng Zhuo sideways blocked him, and looked down at the man, “What do you want to do?”
“Wow, this classmate, you are also very handsome. Don’t get me wrong. I’m a scout. Seeing that this little classmate is good-looking, I want to sign him as a star.”
Hearing that he praised himself and said that he could be a star, Chi Le couldn’t help but feel a little blissful, and poked his head out, “Do you think I’m good-looking? As good-looking as a star?”
“Of course, little classmate, believe me, you are more beautiful than many celebrities!” The scout looked more and more excited, “I have already imagined who you will be after your debut, as long as you are willing, we can sign a contract now!”
Chi Le asked happily: “What kind of person?”
Is it Leng Jun who is a handsome Alpha? Or a domineering president? Or an abstinent senior?
The scout excitedly shook his hand, “Stupid beauty!”
The corner of Chi Le’s mouth twitched, suspecting that he had heard it wrong, “..What?”
“Stupid Beauty!” The scout repeated excitedly and chattered endlessly: “I saw it at a glance! Your own temperament is the most suitable for the stupid beauty’s personality! As long as you pass through my packaging, fans will love you to death! Believe me, you will definitely become the most stupid and beautiful stupid beauty in the entertainment industry!”
Chi Le: “..” God damn stupid beauty!
The corners of Sheng Zhuo’s lips couldn’t stop rising, and when Chi Le looked over, he quickly straightened the corners of his lips.
Chi Le glared at the scout, pulled out his hand, and was so angry that he turned around and was about to leave.
The scout hurriedly reached out to stop him, and his tone became anxious, “Little classmate, where are you going!? I haven’t left my contact information yet. I’ll go back to draw up the contract now. You can come to the company to sign the contract tomorrow morning. Don’t worry, we are a serious and big company, one of the best in the entertainment industry..”
“Get out of the way! I won’t sign! I won’t be a star either!”
The scout’s eyes became brighter, and he pointed to Chi Le as he discovered a treasure mine, “Angry stupid beauty! This character is more innovative! It will definitely be very popular!”
“..” Chi Le stretched out his fist expressionlessly, “I can be more irritable.”
The scout subconsciously took a step back, staring at Chi Le’s fist carefully, and found that there were indeed some unhealed scars on his fingers, like marks left by beating someone.
The scout wanted to persuade him again, but Chi Le raised his fist again, and he finally ran away in a hurry. Before he left, he didn’t forget to give Chi Le a business card.
Chi Le angrily threw the business card into the trash can, only then did he feel that the anger in his heart subsided a little.
Sheng Zhuo tried to reduce his sense of existence, pretending that he did not exist.
The Chi family’s car arrived, and Chi Le looked at Sheng Zhuo with lingering anger, “Get in the car, I’ll ask the driver to take you back.”
“No need.” Sheng Zhuo helped him put the suitcase into the car, and made up an excuse, “I’ll go back in Fang Younian’s car later.”
Chi Le had no choice but to get into the car alone, still depressed.
Sheng Zhuo smiled, “Wait for me for a while, don’t leave yet.”
Chi Le sat in the car waiting for him, and stretched his neck to look around, wondering where Sheng Zhuo had gone.
Ten minutes later, Sheng Zhuo handed a cup of milk tea in through the window, and pressed it on his face lightly, “Don’t be angry.”
Feeling the warm temperature on his face, Chi Le’s anger instantly flew away, and his whole heart warmed up.
“You bought it for me?”
“Yeah.” Sheng Zhuo stood by the side of the road, “Go back quickly.”
On the way back, Chi Le was holding milk tea like a small stove, and almost moved to tears.
Ah! His own wife knows how to take care of him!
