Chapter 65: Chu Xiaoran Angry: I Don’t Believe You Have No Special Feelings for Me!
It was the first time Lin Huaizhi had been so blunt.
Or rather, he had been blunt before, but Chu Xiaoran never seemed to understand human language, so he didn’t mind being even more blunt.
“Lin Huaizhi, you…”
The words “go die” seemed to carry immense power, leaving Chu Xiaoran’s face written with shock, seemingly carrying a sense of brokenness: “Are you really going to sever our relationship of so many years for this man?”
“What relationship do we have after so many years?”
Hearing this, Lin Huaizhi only found it laughable. “I pushed you away and got hit by the chandelier myself. Your return was that you didn’t want people to think you were using connections, so you didn’t come to visit once. Later, even when you came, you acted high and mighty, telling me not to use this method to attract your attention?”
“Because of a moldy bread in middle school, I poured my heart and soul out to you all these years. You think I want to ‘sleep’ with you, that I’m Chu Xiaoran’s lick-dog (simp), a relationship where you can scold and belittle me however you want?”
“Or is it a relationship where I don’t want to be friends with you anymore, I want to draw a clear line, so you start acting out the ‘prodigal son returns’ drama with me?”
[Holy sh*t!!]
[If it’s really like what Lin Huaizhi said, Chu Xiaoran is too inhumane!]
[The chandelier Lin Huaizhi mentioned, could it be the crystal chandelier falling incident in the restaurant of a five-star hotel in Dragon City a while ago? It made quite a stir, and I heard only one person was injured. Was that unlucky guy Lin Huaizhi?]
[Lin Huaizhi said before that he promoted Chu Xiaoran to repay a debt of gratitude, but I was super curious about what kind of gratitude it was to make him promote him like that. Listening to that meaning, it was because Chu Xiaoran gave Lin Huaizhi a piece of broken moldy bread in middle school??]
[If Lin Huaizhi hadn’t repeatedly denied liking Chu Xiaoran, I would have thought he was some unparalleled love-brain…]
[Brother isn’t that kind of person! Don’t listen to the wind and rain here! Lin Huaizhi is such a cunning businessman; how could he tell the truth!]
The bullet comments argued fiercely.
Of course, even in the smallest places, there are people who venture out. Besides Lin Huaizhi and Chu Xiaoran, quite a few young people from their township worked away from home.
This matter trended on social media.
So those who knew the inside story stood up.
[Lin Huaizhi?? That gloomy kid who kept skipping grades to our class? He’s become a big boss now??]
[I was a classmate of Lin Huaizhi and Chu Xiaoran. At that time, Chu Xiaoran was quite arrogant. His family owned a small shop. Saying he gave Lin Huaizhi moldy bread is simply too normal!]
[Lin Huaizhi was a nice person, just looked very wretched at the time, skinny as a skeleton, clothes ill-fitting. It was very easy to arouse others’ dislike. Chu Xiaoran said more than once back then that he looked like a beggar and often teased him. Didn’t expect he forgot the bullying but Lin Huaizhi only remembered a moldy bread. His heart is too good, right?]
[Lin Huaizhi is so badass? A gambling addict murderer dad, a mentally challenged mom, yet he could counterattack like this?]
In today’s information society.
Without much investigation, some events from Lin Huaizhi’s youth were posted online, even photos.
The photo looked like a sneak shot, taken from far away. However, the teenage Lin Huaizhi seemed to have discovered he was being secretly photographed and turned his face toward the camera. The teenager’s eyes were cold and sharp, his whole person looking very gloomy, while on his body was a school uniform that was washed white, tattered, and a size too small.
There is a saying—once inside the pass, the great scholars will debate the scriptures for me (Once successful, people will justify your past).
The Lin Huaizhi who was once bullied, humiliated, and isolated—at first, they said he was a genetic mutation. His mom was retarded; how could he be so smart? He definitely wasn’t his mom’s seed.
Later they said his dad was a gambler who loved domestic violence, and he was also short-tempered and beat people at the drop of a hat. He must be his dad’s seed.
Later still, his dad killed someone, and they called him a little murderer, saying he would follow in his dad’s footsteps.
But these doubts and insults, after he achieved success and fame, suddenly all disappeared, turning into praise and affirmation of him. Humans are such strange and complex creatures.
Of course, these are stories for later.
Right now, Chu Xiaoran listened to Lin Huaizhi’s words. Okay, actually, he hadn’t expected Lin Huaizhi to suddenly reveal everything. But compared to urgently maintaining his reputation, his first sentence was surprisingly still a question.
“Lin Huaizhi, I simply don’t remember having any grace on you! And what moldy bread! It was you who insisted on squeezing into my life!”
“Do you dare say that in this long time getting along, you haven’t had even a little bit of romantic feeling for me?”
“Of course not.”
Lin Huaizhi denied it very crisply.
You kidding?
Huo Chen was watching right beside him!
Chu Xiaoran really had water in his brain to ask him this kind of question at this time. Let alone the fact being so, even if the fact wasn’t so, he wouldn’t say any words that would displease Huo Chen, thereby artificially creating difficulty for his road of chasing his husband!
Of course, Chu Xiaoran was still immersed in his world. Thinking of all the good Lin Huaizhi had done for him, then looking at Lin Huaizhi’s current attitude toward Huo Chen, he couldn’t tell if it was regret or jealousy. He immediately said angrily: “Impossible! I don’t believe you have no special feelings for me!”
Lin Huaizhi couldn’t be bothered to tussle with Chu Xiaoran anymore, so he decided to make everything clear today.
“Special feelings, sure. After all, I never had friends. Being good to you, besides repaying kindness, was also wanting to develop a friendship with you. However, precisely because I hadn’t made friends, I might not have grasped the boundaries well in treating you and matters concerning you, causing you to misunderstand.”
“For this, I do feel sorry. But from beginning to end, I have only ever had feelings for Huo Chen, and I only like and love him.”
Chu Xiaoran seemed to suffer a massive blow.
Muttering “impossible,” he left the scene in a daze.
Huo Chen watched that retreating figure, concealed the emotions rolling in his eyes, and asked seemingly casually: “Didn’t you plan to take it slow? Saying these things now, his commercial value won’t be worth much anymore.”
Of course, even if Lin Huaizhi took it slow, he didn’t intend to give Chu Xiaoran time.
After all, a fool jumping around in front of you frequently is not only annoying but might even lower your IQ.
Lin Huaizhi continued to peel shrimp for him. “I planned to take it slow. After all, not earning money makes one a bastard. But he seems to have brain problems and can’t understand human language. Compared to losing that bit of money, I suddenly feel it’s better to cut the Gordian knot. A little money in exchange for peace and quiet, and also your sense of security—this deal is a guaranteed profit.”
Huo Chen ate the shrimp peeled by the young man. Although his eyes were already dyed with a smile, his mouth remained the same as always: “Glib tongue.”
Lin Huaizhi didn’t know what he thought of, but he suddenly laughed. Under Huo Chen’s slightly puzzled gaze, he leaned into Huo Chen’s ear and said slowly, “Right now, my tongue is indeed a little oily (glib). Do you want to taste it?”
Huo Chen’s look went from puzzled to understanding, then the flush on his face became even more intense. He looked a bit exasperated, words about letting Lin Huaizhi be reserved reached his lips, but in the end, under Lin Huaizhi’s seductive gaze, they turned into compliance.
“If you insist, we can try tonight.”
Lin Huaizhi: “…”
Lin Huaizhi was stunned for a moment. He really didn’t expect Huo Chen to fight back. Usually, the person with no filter on his mouth, saying whatever he wanted and flirting however he wanted, at this moment dared not look Huo Chen in the eye.
He looked away.
Only his face was red as hell.
[Ah!! I’m dying of shipping this!! A cold-hearted person like Huo Chen, once enlightened, is simply the perfect life!]
[So when will they ‘do it’ (doi)! I always felt their body size difference is super superb!! The move where Huo Chen carried Lin Huaizhi with one hand last time, I remember it till now!!!]
[To be honest, just thinking of the scene of these two in bed, I have super feels. Hormones and sexual tension are simply maxed out! Making me unable to resist directly battling my husband for three hundred rounds!]
[Sister upstairs, calm down. Pick up your pants first, okay?]
