Chapter 75: Chu Xiaoran and Fang Mo
Shaking off the big trouble that was Chu Xiaoran and closing the door impatiently, Lin Huaizhi jumped directly onto Huo Chen, wanting to continue what was left unfinished.
Unexpectedly, his boyfriend turned his head away.
Lin Huaizhi: “?”
Lin Huaizhi instantly recited the ‘Clear Heart Mantra.’ He propped up his body, his eyebrows furrowing. “What does this mean? Just confirmed the relationship, and you’re unwilling to even kiss?”
Huo Chen held the person with one arm and walked inward.
“I’m not unwilling.”
“Not unwilling my ass!!”
Lin Huaizhi forced Huo Chen’s head around, staring straight into the man’s eyes. “Look me in the eyes and tell me you’re not unwilling!”
Huo Chen: “…”
Huo Chen’s silence made Lin Huaizhi explode instantly. “Look at you! You still say you’re not unwilling! Isn’t this blatantly unwilling?”
“Might as well not date!”
“At least when we weren’t dating, we could kiss and roll in the sheets. Now that we are dating, it’s ‘this won’t do’ and ‘that won’t do’!”
Huo Chen’s ears hurt from his shouting.
“Don’t be noisy.”
“What do you mean ‘don’t be noisy’! I just—”
Lin Huaizhi’s voice came to an abrupt halt as he felt a sense of weightlessness. He only felt a bounce beneath him, followed by a shadow covering his eyes.
His lips were covered at the same time.
This time, Lin Huaizhi properly experienced what ‘not unwilling’ meant. Suppressed by Huo Chen, his hands and feet had no freedom, and even the air in his mouth was thoroughly plundered.
The follow-up was naturally an indescribable plot.
While Lin Huaizhi and Huo Chen were being lovey-dovey, Chu Xiaoran was enacting the story of a down-and-out male lead and his destined redemption.
It started raining at night.
Chu Xiaoran drove wildly on the road, even running red lights. Coincidentally encountering traffic police checking for drunk driving, he was naturally stopped for verbal education and a fine.
The problem was that Chu Xiaoran was a bit crazy.
His brain was a bit crazy.
Or maybe he was over-stimulated by Lin Huaizhi. In short, facing the traffic police uncle’s education, not only did he not listen seriously, but he also acted crazy repeatedly, adopting an attitude of ‘you talk yours, I’ll do mine.’
His attitude was extremely atrocious.
The traffic police uncle finally sent him to jail to cool down for two days.
Chu Xiaoran finally sobered up.
The taste of jail wasn’t pleasant. Moreover, in the detention room, he wasn’t alone; there were three or four others.
“Holy shit! Isn’t this that very popular guy recently! He got arrested too?!”
Chu Xiaoran still had name recognition.
Before participating in This Is Love, he had just had a hit niche movie, and the internet was full of his ads. Coupled with the popularity of This Is Love, the heat from his obsessive fans, and finally the heat of him being banned, he could be considered a household name.
Apart from him, the others detained in this room were young punks, in for gang fighting.
Precisely because they were punks who loved to eat, drink, and play, recognizing Chu Xiaoran was a matter of minutes.
“Hey! Is your surname Chu?”
A boy with dyed yellow hair walked up to Chu Xiaoran. Other boys followed him. It was obvious that among this group, he had the highest status.
Chu Xiaoran kept a cold face and didn’t speak.
It was one thing for Lin Huaizhi to shout at him; after all, the man had capital. What were these few punks, worthy of bossing him around?
“Hey!”
“I’m talking to you!”
As the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. At a teenage age, they aren’t afraid even if the Jade Emperor comes. Especially these young men mixing in society, they typically have the mindset of ‘I am number one under heaven.’
“Exactly! Did you hear! Our Brother Liu is talking to you! Don’t think just because you’re some broken celebrity, you dare not put our Brother Liu in your eyes!”
“That’s right! Go ask around Tianxing Street, who doesn’t know our Brother Liu? You’d better not refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit (be ungrateful)!”
Chu Xiaoran’s face was full of impatience.
“You guys are so noisy! Can you be quiet and stop clamoring!”
“Holy shit! Brother Liu, he dares to speak to us with this attitude!”
The yellow hair called Brother Liu naturally valued face above the sky. Even in this kind of place, he wouldn’t settle down, actually kicking Chu Xiaoran directly.
Chu Xiaoran lived up to expectations and successfully fell flat on his face.
“What are you doing!!”
Brother Liu took off his inner T-shirt and threw it in front of Chu Xiaoran. “My girlfriend is your fan. Be sensible and sign this, otherwise, you won’t have any good fruit to eat!”
Chu Xiaoran knew he shouldn’t lower himself to children’s level.
But his good temper had long been exhausted before this, not to mention this so-called Brother Liu dared to use his feet to kick him.
“I’ve lived until now, and I really haven’t been threatened by many people.”
Chu Xiaoran sneered.
He stood up. With a height of around 1.8 meters standing in front of the so-called Brother Liu, he was a head taller, and that dark expression was indeed scary enough.
There is a saying called bullying the soft and fearing the hard.
Brother Liu often engaged in bullying in their area, using the small group to boost himself. Encountering those afraid of them, their momentum naturally rose. But encountering those not afraid of them, they would reveal timidness instead.
“You… What do you want to do!”
Brother Liu shouted with a stiff neck. He looked a bit weak, just hadn’t stepped back.
Chu Xiaoran really wanted to do something.
Pity there was no chance to strike. The officer outside sensed a problem and tapped the cell with a baton.
“What are you doing!”
“One or two of you, you’re already in here and won’t settle down. Do you want to stay for two more days!”
The group of energetic lads went silent seeing the officer, but Brother Liu didn’t give up, pointing at Chu Xiaoran and shouting, “Officer! This person wants to hit us! Are you going to manage this or not!”
Chu Xiaoran was stunned for a moment, then almost laughed out of anger.
“There must be a limit to talking nonsense! Was it you guys threatening me, or me wanting to hit you!”
The officer tapped the cell again.
“Liu Yong, you lot, don’t think I don’t know your virtues.” Saying that, the officer looked at Chu Xiaoran again. “You come out, go to the room next door.”
Chu Xiaoran was separated from the energetic lads.
Those energetic lads were released earlier than him. They left early the next morning. Before leaving, they kicked the cell door, threatening Chu Xiaoran that he’d better not let them see him again, or they’d beat him every time they saw him.
Of course, the matter wasn’t over.
When Chu Xiaoran was released on the third day, the internet was already full of trending topics about his dangerous driving.
Outside the police station were paparazzi.
It was Xu Jiao coming to pick him up, but the first to appear was Fang Mo. This eighteenth-tier transparent celebrity was also squatting outside the police station. The moment he saw Chu Xiaoran, he hurried up to greet him.
“Brother Chu, come with me!”
Hearing this voice, Chu Xiaoran was a bit bewildered. He looked at the person wearing a mask and hat, asking tentatively, “Fang Mo?”
“It’s me.”
Fang Mo took Chu Xiaoran’s hand and led him, squeezing toward the outside.
However, the paparazzi didn’t intend to let them go.
“Chu Xiaoran, heard you were detained for dangerous driving and having an extremely bad attitude. Is it true?”
“Chu Xiaoran, I want to ask you, was it because you were too angry inside after learning the news of being banned by Huameng that led to the dangerous driving?”
“Before, rumors on the net said Huameng’s boss promoted you just to ‘sleep’ with you. Is it because all these years you were unwilling to accept his ‘sleeping’ rules that he turned angry from embarrassment and chose to ban you?”
Translator’s Note:
- Scallion, ginger, or garlic: A Chinese idiom meaning someone insignificant or a nobody (essentially asking, “Who do you think you are?”).
- Old cow eating tender grass: A common idiom referring to an older person dating a much younger person (robbing the cradle).
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle: In Chinese slang, “Turtle” (Gui) sounds like “Return” (Gui) or refers to a cuckold, but “Ninja” (Ren Zhe) sounds like “Enduring Person” (Ren Zhe). So being a “Ninja Turtle” means enduring humiliation silently. Zhou Ning is done “enduring.”
