Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Whatever his figure, he's not bad! ...

Xu Ye's arms were filled with irresistible strength. It seemed that he didn't even use any strength, but Song Hongyu was pushed to the point of falling.

Xing Kui, her face obscured by the shadow, was stunned for a moment before stepping forward to help. "It's okay, it's a misunderstanding. He's..." Working at the club wasn't exactly glamorous. When Xu Ye came to rescue her, Song Hongyu had also been hiding. "He's my friend."

Song Hongyu stood firm, overjoyed, and eager to show off to others, he said to Xu Ye, "Did you hear that? We are friends."

The joy in his tone was palpable, and Xing Kui could hear it too. Since he was so happy to be her friend, she'd probably agree to her invitation to film some footage. Xing Kui struck while the iron was hot: "I was just about to say—"

Xu Ye interrupted her: "Just because we're friends, you can touch me?"

He questioned, his thick eyebrows furrowed, his dark brown pupils like sharp nails, staring at Song Hongyu, standing between Xing Kui and him, not moving an inch.

Song Hongyu was still immersed in joy. He withstood the pressure of Xu Ye's gaze and said in a light tone, "It wasn't intentional. Xing Kui, there's some cream on it. Wipe it off."

"Ah, that's right." Xing Kui quickly wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. "I was just about to say—"

"Who are you?" Xu Ye interrupted her iron again.

"Brother Xu, it's Song Hongyu, a junior." Three roommates came over and surrounded Xu Ye, sharing his hatred for the enemy. They even pointed out Song Hongyu's identity. From this, it seemed as if Song Hongyu was a celebrity at Jingjiang University.

However, Xu Ye frowned, not recognizing the other person at all.

Song Hongyu was unhappy.

My roommate was surprised: "People always compare him to you, wondering who is the most handsome in our school. Brother Xu, don't you know?"

It was obvious that Xu Ye didn't care about the discussions on campus. He didn't answer the question. Instead, he glanced at Song Hongyu's face with a frown, and the muscles in his cheeks twitched: "Is this controversial?"

Song Hongyu's face was frozen.

Xing Kui wanted to laugh. She believed that Xu Ye was not being arrogant or provocative, he was just asking a simple question, but this made him seem even more arrogant.

There is no dispute. At this moment, Xu Ye and Song Hongyu are standing together, and the contrast is sharp. Xu Ye has sword-like eyebrows and deep eyes, and is tall and strong. He is like a fierce general galloping on the battlefield. He is a rare five-star wild handsome man, while Song Hongyu is just a four-star sparkling water.

But some people also like sparkling water. Judging from Song Hongyu's expression, he obviously knows Xu Ye, and perhaps even regards him as an enemy in private. Unexpectedly, Xu Ye is not only unaware of his existence, but also did not take him seriously after knowing it. If she were Song Hongyu, she would be furious.

But Xing Kui couldn't laugh. She was still hoping to ask Song Hongyu to shoot the material: "Song Hongyu, I just wanted to say——"

Xu Ye: "I don't care who he is."

The words she wanted to say were stuck in her mouth again. Xing Kui frowned and glanced at Xu Ye. Why did he always interrupt her? This was the third time, the third time.

He refused to help her take pictures. Xing Kui thought for a moment, then reached out and gently tugged at Xu Ye's clothes. To get his attention, she said, "Go back and run."

Xu Ye: "..." Xing! Kui!

There's an idiom we all learned in elementary school: three visits to the thatched cottage. He knew what she wanted to talk about with Song Hongyu, so he ran for a few hours, and she would change to taking pictures of Song Hongyu's abdominal muscles.

The bean sprout in front of him had some terrible abdominal muscles. Xu Ye's disgusted gaze swept from Song Hongyu's head to his feet, head, shoulders, waist, legs... How could this bean sprout compare to him?

Xing Kui also knew this, but she didn't necessarily have to take pictures of her abdominal muscles. Sports departments have their own way of taking pictures, and sparkling water has its own way of taking pictures. In short, she didn't want to come to Jingjiang University in vain.

"Song Hongyu." Xing Kui called his name again.

"I know." Song Hongyu nodded gently. This time, he interrupted Xu Ye before he could. "I heard you say you had a job for me. What is it? I'm in a hurry to get to the basketball court. Would it be convenient for you to come with me and talk to me on the way?"

"That's great!" Xing Kui turned around with satisfaction and went to pack the cake she hadn't finished.

As soon as she turned around, Song Hongyu glanced at Xu Ye intentionally or unintentionally. He had lost control of his expression just now, but there was no need to do so. He could not compare to Xu Ye in terms of appearance, but Xing Kui was not a person who believed in appearance supremacy.

Song Hongyu thought about their encounter at the club. Xing Kui had a scar over ten centimeters long under her hat, but she didn't feel inferior because of it... The short-haired woman who brought Xing Kui here wanted to force her to break up with her brother, so she had a boyfriend...

"Are you going to the basketball court to play basketball?" Xing Kui packed up her things.

"Yes, my friend wanted to play, but he was short of people, so he called me." Song Hongyu replied.

"Eh? Then can I sit in the audience?" Playing basketball is such a great place to shoot footage!

"Of course I can. If I don't play well, please give me some face and don't laugh."

"No, bye Xu Ye." The two walked away talking and laughing. Xing Kui remembered that they had not said goodbye yet, so she turned around and waved with a smile in the sunshine, then turned back and continued chatting with Song Hongyu.

This time, it was Xu Ye's turn to lose control of his expression. His brows were gloomy and the corners of his mouth were tense. He looked at Xing Kui, whose hair on her temples trembled with laughter. Song Hongyu looked even more shy, as if he was secretly in love with her.

A thought came to his mind: He couldn't let Brother Li's ex-fiancée, Brother Zhou's current girlfriend, have contact with this man.

Xu Ye frowned and glared at his three indifferent roommates: "Do you want to play basketball?"

Xianyu showed expressions of "decline", "no", and "absolutely not" respectively.

Xu Ye: "In that case, let's go too."

Xianyu: “?” Hello?

Xing Kui was walking in front, thinking about how to talk to Song Hongyu, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of wheat-colored eyes. Xu Ye and his three roommates followed and said they also wanted to exercise.

Song Hongyu agreed with a smile. He had once lost to Xing Kui's boyfriend while playing cards in the club, but in his opinion it was a coincidence. There are always people better than you, and that person's IQ was beyond his expectations.

Basketball is his strong point. Xu Ye and the other three track and field players may not understand the rules of basketball, which is a good opportunity for him to show his skills.

Little did they know, Xu Ye leaned over to Xing Kui's side and whispered two words: "Tap me."

Xing Kui was stunned. The next second, joy rang through her mind like a bell. Xu Ye asked her to film him playing basketball! Wow, that's great! Who is Song Hongyu? No need!

Song Hongyu was unaware of the bad news and was still trying to get close to Xing Kui: "By the way, Xing Kui, which college are you from?"

Xing Kui smiled when she heard this: "I'm not a student anymore. I've graduated for many years."

What?! Song Hongyu was stunned. Xu Ye's three roommates also changed their expressions. Xing Kui's face was full of collagen. When they saw her at school, they didn't think she had graduated. Doesn't that mean she is older than them...

Only Xu Ye didn't react, he didn't care.

Song Hongyu came to his senses after a few seconds. When he entered the club as a male model, he lowered his standards and became thicker-skinned. He wanted to pursue Xing Kui even though he knew she had a boyfriend. Why was he afraid of age?

In the basketball hall, young and energetic college students are running after the orange basketball. Song Hongyu, who has evil intentions, tries his best to look cool and attract the attention of Xing Kui in the audience.

Xing Kui held up her cell phone to take pictures of Xu Ye. She had no interest in basketball and knew nothing about it. She only cared about the material. Seeing Song Hongyu looking at her on the screen, she tilted her head, pulled up the corners of her mouth, and smiled at him politely.

The next moment, the ball in Song Hongyu's hand was snatched away. Xu Ye was agile and jumped over several people like lightning, then jumped up and slam dunked. The orange basketball passed through the net, and the basket frame and the hearts of the spectators trembled together.

Cheers rang out all around, and Xing Kui stared intently. She didn't understand basketball, but she instinctively felt, or even saw, the sexual tension.

The basketball landed on the ground, and Xu Ye also landed gracefully. He turned his head to look at her. His muscles were throbbing with sweat after exerting force, and his sight also had a burning feeling.

The camera should have captured everything. Xing Kui and Xu Ye's eyes met, and they lowered their heads embarrassedly to check the captured footage.

The court was still full of enthusiasm. Song Hongyu gritted his teeth and chased after the falling basketball. Didn't Xu Ye practice running? How come he is also good at basketball!

"Don't stare blankly, our Brother Xu is good at all sports." said the roommate who came on the court to make up the number.

"Anyway, I've never seen him not know how to do it."

"I often suspect that he runs simply because he chooses the one he's most interested in among a bunch of things he's good at."

After several runs, Xu Ye and Song Hongyu faced off across the ball. Sweat soaked Xu Ye's hair. He looked at Song Hongyu coldly: "Put your mind aside, she has a boyfriend."

Song Hongyu gasped for breath and fought with Xu Ye for the ball. He responded unconvincedly, "So what? I will never meet anyone better than her in my life. I'd be stupid not to fight for it. I'll be her number three."

Xu Ye: "Do you still want to be number three?"

Song Hongyu: "Of course! Haven't you heard the saying? Those who give up are destined to get nothing, but if I keep fighting and scrambling, the final outcome is still uncertain."

Xu Ye bent down and instinctively took a defensive posture, both to prevent the ball from being snatched away and to defend against what Song Hongyu said: Don't listen. Liang Junhe once said that people who act like third party or fourth party are shameless.

Unbeknownst to her, in the audience, Xing Kui was chatting with the shameless Liang Junhe. Of course, she didn't know that "People who mess with me can't get a wife_" was Liang Junhe, and Liang Junhe didn't know that she was behind "Everyday Wonderful Adventure".

[Honey, I saw your latest note, the one about the cake. Congratulations on your breakup, happy single life!]

【（Dog rolling.gif）】

Why does it seem like this fan is so happy about her breakup?

Maybe the other party also realized it and quickly sent another message:

[Don't be sad, my dear. The next one will be even better.]

【（Dog is well behaved.gif）】

That's about right. Xing Kui didn't want to chat too much with her fans, but this girl was sweet-mouthed and her expressions were super cute. She was happy to see this, so she sent a picture of flowers in return.

Wife!

【（Dog receives flowers.gif）】

What are you doing? I saw the cake picture you took, and the background is outdoors (pointing finger emoji)

Xing Kui glanced at the court. Wow, Xu Ye had scored another goal. She decided to share it with her little fan: [I'm watching a basketball game. The guy who just scored is so handsome.]

Liang Junhe, who was far away in Iceland, asked: "?"

He had just gotten off the plane and stopped. With his pink hair on top, he pushed up his sunglasses on the bridge of his nose and typed while stepping on the wheels of his suitcase with peach blossom stickers on it.

[Honey! Liang Junhe can play basketball too! He looks so cool when he scores a goal!]

Xing Kui: “…” This person is indeed a die-hard fan of Liang Junhe.

At the Iceland airport, Liang Junhe looked at his chubby agent, Sister Wang, who was waiting to pick him up. “Send a press release saying I can play basketball.”

Sister Wang: "Okay...wait a minute, can you fight?" Her round eyes widened even wider, a look of surprise on her face. "Don't you say you don't do any other exercise except for staying in shape? You said you were afraid of getting hurt and disfigured, and affecting your romantic luck."

She finished speaking in one breath, and the look in the eyes of the unreliable young master showed a little more recognition, "So you can, you just don't do it."

"I can't."

Liang Junhe said seriously, "I'm going to learn to play basketball from today. I don't know which jerk used basketball to seduce my wife. I'm sure I'm better at it than him."

“…”Master, I’m convinced.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the basketball game ended with Xu Ye leading his team to knock out the opponent. Song Hongyu was panting awkwardly, and his handsome face was covered with sweat. On the other hand, Xu Ye, although also sweating and panting, had a feeling of winning the game easily.

The two team leaders stood together and seemed to say something.

In the audience seats, Xing Kui took many wonderful pictures. After a quick review, she looked up with a smile and saw Xu Ye's face suddenly changed. Then, he looked at her strangely and walked out of the basketball hall.

Xing Kui didn't understand what was going on and wanted to take some detailed photos. She was about to catch up when a roommate stopped her. The boy's face was covered in sweat because he had just finished playing basketball. He smiled at her and said, "Let's go take a shower. Don't follow us. Wait here."

Take a shower, okay. Xing Kui sat back down, it was already the whole afternoon, so she didn't care about this moment. Fortunately, her leg injury was much better.

Even if he sat for a long time, his knees would still swell. After the door of the basketball hall was closed, Xing Kui looked around and made sure that there was no one around. He quietly lifted his legs and placed them on an empty seat, his lips curled up in comfort.

Outside the basketball hall, Xu Ye rushed downstairs after leaving, his face grim. Song Hongyu had just said to him through gritted teeth, "Don't be complacent, but we won a basketball game. I can be the third, can you?"

What a joke! He doesn't like Xing Kui! He agreed to let Xing Kui film him playing basketball for the sake of his brothers. He is very loyal and can't let his sister-in-law film some unscrupulous man.

And Zhou Jing is ranked third, so he can only be ranked fourth.

"Brother Xu, your phone, you didn't take it." The roommate caught up from behind and handed him the phone.

Xu Ye took it with one hand. There was a message on the screen from "Sweet love will find me". Liang Junhe believed that this WeChat nickname could bring him luck in love, so he did not allow others to change the note after adding him.

【Teach my brother to play basketball.】

Xu Ye frowned doubtfully, but didn't take it to heart. He had something more important on his mind right now. He pressed his thumb against the screen and quickly sent a message to Liang Junhe: [It's shameless to be the third or fourth person, isn't it?]

Unexpectedly, Liang Junhe, who had been talking nonstop before, paused for a few seconds before replying: [Well, Zhou Ge is the third one, which shows that being the third one is not necessarily shameless.] (He wants to be the third one in "Everyday Wonderful Adventures")

[Of course, being the fourth one is absolutely shameless! Xu Ye, why are you asking this question? Did Xing Kui try to hook you? You must stay calm and learn from your brother Liang. You will never be tempted by a sea monster like her.]

Even if she sits in my arms, I can push her down.

[Dad, a man like me who is a man of high moral character will definitely get married.]

[Remember to teach me how to play basketball. I want to learn some cool moves. If a bitch tries to seduce my future wife, I'm going to put him to shame!]

Xu Ye stared at the sentence "Being the fourth is absolutely shameless" and didn't read a single word of Liang Junhe's rambling. He was right. No matter what, since they were brothers, he must not fall in love with his sister-in-law.

"Brother Xu." The three roommates arrived one after another. The roommate who had just stopped Xing Kui forced a flattering smile and said, "We can go eat hot pot now. You said at the beginning that you would treat our dormitory to hot pot."

The sun gradually set, the sky became darker, and the temperature dropped, becoming a bit cold. In the basketball hall, Xing Kui pulled her thin apricot-yellow jacket closer and looked at the dark blue sky outside the window.

Boys don't have long hair, so it takes them longer to take a shower than it does for her.

Forget it, let’s go to the cafeteria to have dinner first.

Xing Kui touched her belly, stood up, carefully wiped the chair where she had just placed her legs, put the remaining garbage from the cake into the trash can, walked to the door of the basketball hall, grabbed the handle and pulled it.

Unable to pull it, the sound of the metal lock hitting the door was heard. Xing Kui was stunned for a moment, and pulled the door again, and the sound of the lock hitting the door was heard again.

Being alone in the room, she was completely stunned. She pulled on the door for the third time. Still, the lock banged against the door, clang, clang, clang.

Someone locked the door. Could you please discuss it with her before locking it? Jiang Yuming has surgery tonight and can't come to pick her up!

The basketball hall was so quiet that only the echo of the lock hitting the door could be heard. However, the hot pot restaurant in the food city was bustling with activity. The waiter brought a plate full of meat and said, "Your dishes are ready."

The hot pot was steaming, and Xu Ye was sullenly eating a large bowl of white rice. His roommate picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks and put it into the bubbling spicy pot. He glanced at him and said, "Brother Xu, are you still depressed? I understand you. Being entangled with an old woman is really depressing."

Xu Ye paused while eating and raised his eyelids.

"Come on, seriously, you can't judge a person by appearance. We are only in our first and second half of college, and she has graduated for several years. She is at least five years older than us. How can she have the nerve to be around you?"

The roommate was completely oblivious to Xu Ye's true emotions. He rummaged through the hot pot for food, shaking his head smugly. "Brother, I helped you today. I locked her in the basketball hall. She should understand your attitude and won't bother you again after tomorrow."

Xu Ye stood up suddenly, and his chopsticks fell from the bowl to the table and then to the ground, making a crisp sound. "Who told you to do that?"

The roommate shuddered: "Didn't you say you didn't like her and it was a misunderstanding? It's okay, she won't be locked up for long. The cleaner will let her out when they see her."

"You're stupid! Today is Saturday, the cleaners have the day off!"

The roommate hadn't expected this and immediately panicked. Fearing responsibility, he got angry and said, "Why are you so fierce? I'm doing this for your own good. You're only nineteen and you're being pestered by an old woman. I'm just trying to help you out of kindness."

There was a commotion. Xu Ye picked up his bowl of rice and covered his roommate's head with his big hand.

The porcelain bowl hit his head loudly. Xu Ye grabbed his roommate by the collar. The veins in his neck trembled, and his brown eyes seemed to be burning with anger, like a ferocious beast possessed by a demon.

"Listen carefully, I'm younger than her. It's because I was reincarnated and ran slower. It's my fault. If I hear you insult her age again, I'll rip out your tongue and feed it to the dogs."

He threw the man away and turned away. Xu Ye was a man of few words and looked difficult to mess with, but this was the first time he really got angry. His three roommates were frightened and stood there in a daze.

After a while, someone stammered, "He, he ran away. Who's going to pay for the hot pot?"

Another roommate looked at the roommate who locked the door and said, "Hey, you better pray that nothing happens to Xing Kui, or else Brother Xu will definitely call the police and put you in jail."

Darkness pressed into the basketball hall and the door was opened three times in a row. After confirming that the door was really locked, Xing Kui imagined many ghost stories.

The senior girl in red, the haunted basketball hall... She was already brain-damaged, so her thoughts were easily confused. She timidly looked at the empty space behind her, and always felt a chill on her back.

For a moment, Xing Kui didn't know who to contact. The door was most likely locked by Xu Ye's roommate. It was best not to contact Xu Ye. Not many people in Jingjiang City were listed on WeChat... Her fingertips swiped over the head of a gray, default portrait. Could the landlord help her?

The cold moonlight shines on the tall building. The incandescent lights in the conference room on the ninth floor are bright, and Li Chengchuan is holding a meeting.

A piece of land in Mohe District was snapped up by someone, disrupting Dingtian Group's plan to build a resort there. It wasn't a big deal, as the competitor had limited financial resources. Li Chengchuan could offer a higher price to get the land use rights back. The upper class rarely wastes time on things that can be solved with money, but -

His brother stole his fiancée, and someone who is not even in his eyes is worthy of stealing his land?

Li Chengchuan would rather cause some trouble than let his opponent who was secretly doing bad things pay the price.

The cell phone in the pocket of his black suit lit up, but Li Chengchuan didn't have time to pay attention to it. It lit up again, and he took it out impatiently. Whoever was looking for death would run into his gun.

People on both rows of the conference table fell silent at the same time, exchanged furtive glances, observed a moment of silence for the person who made the call, and even expressed sympathy.

At least they get overtime pay for having a meeting here, so the person who made the call is just unlucky.

Alas, it’s still satisfying to see Li Chengchuan getting angry at others.

They watched secretly, and assistant Chen Quan could imagine that after President Li answered the phone, he would listen to the other party for three seconds with a perfect cold face, and then open his thin lips to tell the other party to get lost.

One second, two seconds, three seconds, Li Chengchuan stood up and walked straight to the door of the conference room: "How much battery is left on your phone? Don't hang up, I'll be right there."

The sun is rising from the west! Everyone was speechless in disbelief. Someone, quick-witted, pointed out, "I bet it's Chairman Li, who has already retired."

Chen Quan: “…” Haha, it’s definitely Sister Xing.

Even if it was a big deal for Mr. Li, he had to wait until Li Chengchuan finished his meeting. Only Sister Xing could get a "come right away" response.

Li Chengchuan went downstairs; Xu Ye left the hot pot restaurant.

On the highway, Li Chengchuan increased the speed to the maximum that complies with traffic laws; in the Food City, Xu Ye ran all the way.

In the empty, dark basketball hall, Xing Kui's imaginary movie "Haunted Basketball Hall" has reached its climax. Her rich imagination is a torture at this moment. She hugged her knees and huddled in the corner of the audience, where the moonlight could shine.

Eh? But, but moonlight is yin, and ghosts are also yin. Xing Kui's soul shuddered, and he pressed a few fingers to the ground, supporting his body and moving towards the darkness.

Often at this time in the movies, a ghost hand would appear and grab her fingers that were pressed on the ground...Mom, save me!

The events of the day replayed in her mind. She didn't do anything to Xu Ye's roommates. She even brought them mineral water when she came to school.

How could this happen? She didn't do anything wrong.

There was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door. Xing Kui raised his head from his knees. The brim of his baseball cap cast a shadow. His eyes were moist, and there was a shallow scar on his right eyelid.

With a click, someone outside turned on the lights in the basketball hall. The sudden glare made Xing Kui close her eyes and raised her hands to cover them. As her fingers blurred, the tightly closed door opened and a pair of long legs stepped in. They were wearing black suit pants.

Warm arms enveloped her, and an indescribable woody fragrance filled her nostrils. Li Chengchuan's deep voice rang out above her head: "I'm here, don't be afraid."

Xing Kui's heart trembled.

"Um..." She lowered her voice to the level of a mosquito.

Li Chengchuan put his hand on the hat on the back of her head.

"Um...I want to tell you something, don't be angry."

"What?" His voice was so nice. Xing Kui often used cello to describe the male protagonist's voice in novels. Whenever she heard Li Chengchuan speak, this description became concrete.

"I... I just broke out in a cold sweat. When you hugged me, you might have been impulsive to save someone and didn't think about it. Now that you have reacted, please don't hit me!" Mysophobia man!

Li Chengchuan froze. After Xing Kui finished talking, her muscles tensed. She raised her hand to catch her tears, fearing that they would drip onto Li Chengchuan's suit.

His fingers moved away from the back of her head. Xing Kui thought to herself that Mr. Li must be disgusted with her. She tried to save herself and deceived him, "Calm down. Don't be disgusted with yourself. You are also trying to save others. Just go back and take a shower."

The burning fingertips landed on the corner of her eyes. Xing Kui was stunned. Li Chengchuan frowned handsomely and wiped away the tears from her eyes bit by bit. After wiping, he said: "Well, there is nothing I can do since we have touched each other. And, I say it again, I am not as mysophobic as Xu Ye said."

Really? But it wasn't just Xu Ye. Zhou Jing and Jiang Yuming had also privately told her that Li Chengchuan was incredibly mysophobic.

"Can you get up?"

"My legs are numb." Her knees were still a little swollen. Xing Kui touched them, tugged at the hem of Li Chengchuan's clothes, and summoned the courage to ask. He himself said he wasn't such a germaphobe, "Li Chengchuan, can you help me walk?"

She was nervous, twisting the corners of her clothes into pleats, her fingertips trembling back and forth. "I just bought some peach-scented fragrance beads for clothes. They smell really good. I'll give you a bottle when you get home, or I'll help you wash your coat."

The voice became quieter and quieter, the last syllables seemed to be blown away by the wind. Li Chengchuan stared at her with his deep, narrow black eyes. After a moment, he stretched out his arm and put it around her shoulders: "No need."

He has been rewarded.

Xing Kui walked out of the basketball hall leaning on Li Chengchuan. She didn't want to put all her weight on him, but she couldn't resist Li Chengchuan's long and strong arms around her shoulders, and she was almost hugged by Li Chengchuan.

She was too embarrassed to speak and had to lower her head.

Then he beat his chest like a gorilla in his heart, ahhhh why do the people in Li Chengchuan’s group of brothers have such nice chest muscles!

Li Chengchuan lowered his eyes and looked at her: "Your boyfriend is unqualified. He left you alone and went abroad just after you started dating."

Xing Kui: "Ah?"

"Didn't you hear clearly?"

"I heard it clearly, but..." Xing Kui hesitated, "Lawyer Zhou is your brother. It's not good to say that your brother is unqualified."

"Brothers are brothers." His brother even stole his wife behind his back. "It's a fact that he's not qualified as a boyfriend."

Xing Kui raised her face, her eyes complicated in the dim light. Just when Li Chengchuan thought she understood Zhou Jing's unqualifiedness, she opened her mouth: "Are you trying to break us up by deliberately belittling Lawyer Zhou?"

Li Chengchuan shut his mouth and walked downstairs faster.

"actually……"

No, actually! He didn't want to hear her defend Zhou Jing!

"We've broken up."

Li Chengchuan's black leather shoes stopped.

Xing Kui tugged at his clothes. "Were you busy today and didn't see the sweet potatoes I distributed? We divided them many days before I distributed them. Please don't mind it anymore."

Li Chengchuan had no expression on his face. After a while, he replied coldly, "Well, that's a good division."

He helped her down the stairs. There was no moonlight at the corner of the stairs. In the darkness, the corners of her thin, red lips slowly curled up, and kept curling up, unable to be suppressed no matter what she did.

Xing Kui pondered the word "good" in "a good breakup" in her mind. The more she thought about it, the more awkward she felt. What was good about her breaking up with Zhou Jing? This was too much to say.

When she reached the stairs, she looked up and Li Chengchuan suddenly covered his mouth.

"?" Is he laughing?! This is even worse!

"You could have called the police if you found yourself trapped." Li Chengchuan glanced at her with his dark eyes. "Why didn't you call the police instead of calling me?"

"Well," Xing Kui said, "that's a bit too much. The person who wants to lock me up is just naive. When I catch him, I'll lock him up too just to experience it. I won't call the police, but I can't let him die just because he's stupid, and—"

She guessed, "The person who locked me up must be Xu Ye's roommate. Xu Ye saved my life, so I have to give him face."

The entrance to the building requires turning a corner to reach the staircase entrance, which is quite a distance away. Neither of them noticed that Xu Ye ran to the door at this time.

He heard Li Chengchuan's familiar voice and Xing Kui's answer.

Perhaps it was because of his abnormally disordered heartbeat after running here, Xu Ye felt afraid to see his brother. Seeing the shadows of Li Chengchuan and Xing Kui extending, he reflexively hid behind the door and concealed his body.

"Why did you come to school to look for Xu Ye?" Li Chengchuan asked.

"I asked him to help me shoot materials for my own media." Xing Kui replied.

"Finished filming? Did it take so long?"

"Hmm... this..." Xing Kui couldn't help but feel her face flush. Recalling the muscles Xu Ye exerted when playing basketball, she quickened her pace and rushed from the dark staircase to the hall where the moonlight was more abundant. "I want to take some more details."

Li Chengchuan felt that something was wrong with her: "Where are you going to shoot?"

Hiding behind the door, Xu Ye held his breath. Would she tell him directly? Or would she hide it from Brother Li?

Xing Kui had a shy face. She wanted to hide it, but Xu Ye listened to his brother very much. Li Chengchuan would get the answer if he asked him, so it would be better for her to confess first.

He poked himself with his finger: "Right, right here. He's a good trainer, right? If I post this online, it'll definitely go viral."

She was not a thick-skinned person to begin with. After she finished speaking, her ears turned red and even her breathing became disordered. Her shy look caught Li Chengchuan's eyes. He swore that if Xu Ye was here, he would definitely force Xu Ye to drink ten buckets of rice.

No matter what body shape he has, he is not bad!

"Why don't you look for me?"

Xing Kui, who was supported by Li Chengchuan to the door, thought she had heard it wrong and looked up at him in confusion. Unexpectedly, Li Chengchuan brought her to the door, blocked the moonlight outside with his body, and held her wrist broadly, holding it in front of him.

"I also exercise regularly, why don't you think of me?"

Xing Kui was startled and pale. Her back hit the door with a sound. Her vision dimmed. The suit under her fingertips was well-tailored. A heat seeped through the expensive fabric into her palms: "I..."

"You don't believe it?" Li Chengchuan asked in a low voice, his voice hoarse. His dark eyes were fixed on her face, and the fingers clamping her wrist increased their strength. "You can take a look."

What a male Bodhisattva! Xing Kui suspected that he was too competitive and didn't dare to touch him. She tried to pull her hand back: "You don't have to compete with Xu Ye."

"I think it's necessary. Go ahead and explore. Don't worry about others. There's no one else here."
