Chapter 360: “What the heck! You ambushed me?!”
Hearing this, Xue Shao Hua didn’t look as delighted as he might have imagined. Instead, he tilted his head back and let a tear slide slowly from the corner of his eye.
Seeing this, Ye Liang Chen’s heartstrings were tugged again. This matter was definitely his fault. So, when he saw him crying, he didn’t feel good either.
Although Ye Liang Chen’s soul was 28 years old, he had never been a man in his life and had no idea how to comfort someone in this situation.
If it had been a girl, with his graceful confidence, handsome looks, and his willingness to take responsibility and make amends, he probably wouldn’t be crying and throwing a tantrum.
But he had already told all these things to Xue Shao Hua, yet he still kept crying. Ye Liang Chen really didn’t know what to do anymore.
Suddenly, Xue Shao Hua stood up.
Ye Liang Chen hurriedly followed suit.
Xue Shao Hua spun around sharply, eyes slightly reddened, biting his lip, and with a voice full of grievance, he asked, “Why are you following me?”
“I, I’m afraid you’ll do something reckless,” was Ye Liang Chen’s inner reply.
Perhaps because Ye Liang Chen’s expression and voice were too sincere, Xue Shao Hua cast a few uneasy glances at him. Despite feeling unwilling inside, after wrestling with his thoughts while closing his eyes, he finally opened them and said, “I’m going to take a shower.”
Ye Liang Chen looked at the marks on Xue Shao Hua: “Go ahead. I’ll be outside. Just call me if you need anything.”
Xue Shao Hua didn’t reply. He merely closed his eyes in humiliation, lowered his gaze, and walked into the bathroom.
Not long after, a muffled “Hiss~” of pain came from the bathroom.
Ye Liang Chen’s heart suddenly tightened. He stormed in to see Xue Shao Hua crouched over the toilet, washing his wound.
As soon as he saw Ye Liang Chen come in, Xue Shao Hua immediately shielded his private parts with Little Orchid: “What are you coming in for? Get out!”
Ye Liang Chen looked at the spot Xue Shao Hua was protecting, and a hint of tenderness flickered in his eyes: “Let me help you.”
Feeling Ye Liang Chen’s gentle care, Xue Shao Hua sniffled and his tone softened: “This is my first time. You’re not allowed to be unkind to me afterward.”
“Mm,” Ye Liang Chen nodded solemnly. Then, locking eyes with Xue Shao Hua, he asked, “Can I? I mean—”
Xue Shao Hua’s heart tingled with warmth. Seeing Ye Liang Chen’s gentle gaze, his eyes wavered with inner struggle for a second before he finally softly said, “Mm.”
……
Later, Ye Liang Chen lay on the bed, took a drag of smoke, and glanced at Xue Shao Hua in his arms, a contented smile on his face.
“Do you really need ointment for that face of yours?” Xue Shao Hua softly stroked the bruise on Ye Liang Chen’s cheek.
“Real men don’t care about these things,” Ye Liang Chen replied, a faint smile curling his lips.
On the surface, he said that, but inside, he was already cursing Dragon Brother to d*ath.
“Once we succeed with our plan, I want him kneeling and repenting!” Xue Shao Hua snarled fiercely. If only Long Ao Tian hadn’t hit Ye Liang Chen yesterday, he wouldn’t be so eager to whip up the “See You Tomorrow” potion, and he wouldn’t be in this mess now. Once he turns the blame onto Dragon Brother, he’ll make sure he looks good.
Thinking of this, Xue Shao Hua just wanted to tell Ye Liang Chen about his inner anguish.
But he only saw Ye Liang Chen pinching a cigarette between his fingers, eyes half-closed, seemingly lost in thought.
“What are you thinking?” Xue Shao Hua asked.
Startled by the voice, Ye Liang Chen suddenly snapped back to reality.
Frowning, Ye Liang Chen had just mentioned Dragon Brother, which sparked a strange idea in his mind.
Dragon Brother had treated him like this once, twice—absolutely not to be let go.
In an instant, a faint smile curled on Ye Liang Chen’s lips. He’d already formed a plan.
If Dragon Brother was mocking him for being weak, then fine—let him experience what it’s like truly to be a woman!
He’s not arrogant? He’s proud? He loves to fight over women? Well, then let him taste what it feels like to be treated as a woman.
This punishment—little by little breaking his psychological bottom line—would be way more fun than stuffing him with a hundred oil sticks!
Thinking of this, Ye Liang Chen chuckled. This time, it was a real, genuine laugh.
Because he’d just devised a perfect method to crush Dragon Brother.
“I said one day, I’ll repay the humiliation Dragon Brother caused me tenfold, a hundredfold.”
“And that day isn’t far.”
Xue Shao Hua asked, “Have you figured out how to deal with Dragon Brother?”
Ye Liang Chen chuckled softly, then reached out and flicked Xue Shao Hua’s nose: “Of course.”
Then he shared his wicked plan to humiliate Dragon Brother.
Hearing this, Xue Shao Hua’s eyes lit up: “Genius! Ye Liang Chen, you’re a pure genius!”
“This way we deal with Dragon Brother, and we even have video evidence. It’ll be way more painful for him than killing him.”
Xue Shao Hua looked at Ye Liang Chen, feeling that he hadn’t even experienced half of what he was about to.
Seeing Xue Shao Hua’s gaze, Ye Liang Chen raised an eyebrow: “What do you want?”
“F* you!”
He stepped forward suddenly, ready to strike.
“Whoa! You ambushed me——”
……
“Hiss~”
“What’s wrong, Lao Ao?” a sudden, terrifying cry echoed.
Dragon Brother couldn’t quite explain what he felt: “It’s like a sudden chill down my back.”
Huang Fei and the others scoffed: “Old Ao, you really should get in shape. Look at you—so weak! It’s just a little cold wind, is it worth?”
“Nonsense. I feel full of energy everywhere. Besides, if you guys didn’t act on your own, I wouldn’t be so weak, right?”
Hearing this, Huang Fei and the others shamefacedly lowered their heads.
Previously, the three of them had signed up for the swimming club without Dragon Brother’s permission.
Participation in sports meets was mandatory for member clubs.
That was also how Huang Fei got wind of this from Shen Meng Jie; he hurried to bring Dragon Brother over, hoping to maybe change his water-phobia.
They entered the swimming hall.
Changed into swimsuits and stepped inside.
“We come almost every week. I even wanted to call you, but you’re never around on weekends…”
Suddenly, a fountain of water exploded at the edge of the pool.
A graceful figure emerged from the water.
She shook off the water droplets from her face, took off her goggles, and perched herself at the poolside with a playful smile, looking at the four frightened guys: “What’s with your guts?”
Her gaze fell on Dragon Brother: “A special guest! Why are you here?”
Huang Fei told Shen Meng Jie the full story with a smile.
“Is that so?” Shen Meng Jie listened, then lightly hopped out of the pool, sitting casually on the edge. She slowly stood, dressed in a sexy swimsuit, her hot figure on display, completely confident.
She cast a sly look at Dragon Brother and grinned: “You should’ve just come to see me.”
Before Dragon Brother could say anything, Huang Fei hurriedly asked: “Is that okay?”
“Of course,” she replied straightforwardly, then made a helpless face: “But this is how you go about asking for favors?”
“We’re covering dinner,” Shen Meng Jie teased with a smile.
She then looked at Dragon Brother, amused: “Someone once said he wanted to treat me to pig trotters someday to make up for it. Well, time has passed, and I still don’t know when that ‘someday’ is…”
Dragon Brother knew she was poking fun at him. So he raised two fingers: “Two more dinners…”
