Chapter 29 Chapter 29 His Place is Pink
After adding Xing Kui on WeChat, Li Chengchuan's steps were light when he went out. He would probably stay at home for a while to savor the past before coming back.
Zhou Jing withdrew his gaze. Li Chengchuan was not good at romance and was a deep and introverted person. In fact, he did not show any particularly strong outward emotions, but he just felt that Li Chengchuan's mouth corners had already stretched to the back of his ears.
The tables and chairs inside are black, the curtains are black, and the chandeliers are made of spliced lines. This house is full of Li Chengchuan's style and is filled with Li Chengchuan everywhere.
Zhou Jing's fingers hanging beside her long legs slowly curled up. Across from her, Xing Kui was holding her phone and staring at Li Chengchuan's WeChat with a smile. Was she so happy to add her ex back?
Indeed, Xing Kui's eyes were almost smiling, but not for the reason Zhou Jing guessed, but because she was changing the notes and saw Li Chengchuan's WeChat name. His WeChat name was too funny!
The profile picture of Li Chengchuan, a fellow patient, neighbor and landlord, was the system's default profile picture. Xing Kui originally thought that his name might also be the default ID, so she took a casual glance at it, and the result was: 3丨.
Three vertical strokes equal the character "川." Yes, yes, she understood the meaning of "3丨," but the character "丨," though seemingly a symbol, had its own pronunciation: "gǔn."
Get out of here—mistress, get out of here.
How funny it is to chat with a mistress under this ID! Xing Kui choked while laughing. A hand landed on her wrist and took her phone away.
"Are you in such a hurry to escape?" came a calm voice that reminded people of a deep pool on a spring night.
Xing Kui suddenly stopped laughing, stepped back, and leaned against the wall with nowhere to hide.
"Just now you told Li Chengchuan that you wanted to move in today if possible."
Zhou Jing pushed her to the wall, and the scent of mint filled her nose. The palm holding her wrist was hot, and the rough fingertips rubbed the wrist meridians and covered her cheek.
His tone was gentle, as if he wasn't angry at all. "I hope you find it exciting to keep it a secret from him, not..."
"Instead of what?" Xing Kui couldn't dodge and scratched the wall with his fingers.
Instead of wanting to replace him.
A dark light flashed in Zhou Jing's eyes. He and Li Chengchuan admired each other's personal abilities and helped each other in the courts and business world, but that didn't mean they could even share a lover.
"If you want to carry him on your back, I can play with you." Zhou Jing leaned over, and the scent of mint gently wafted across Xing Kui's lips, like wisps of mist. "If you want to leave my house, I can help you move. As long as you don't ignore it, I'm pursuing you, Kuikui. I'm serious."
Damn it.
Xing Kui pressed her legs tightly against the wall, too flustered to know how to respond. She started babbling, "Don't, don't take it seriously. I do want to have a passionate love affair, but the passion I want is limited to the physical body, do you understand?"
Zhou Jing chuckled, his eyes soft and gentle, like the moonlight shining on a clear stream at night, like the soft wings of a bird skimming across the stream: "Where do you want the dripping to begin? On your lips?"
It was not night, nor was it the time for the mimosa leaves to close, but there was a blooming mimosa in Xing Kui's mind, closing around her brain. She tried hard to find a gap between the airtight leaves.
"You are forbidden to seduce me." Xing Kui's cheeks were burning red. "You knew that I was confused and couldn't control my mouth because of brain injury, but you still went on to say that."
Zhou Jing gently caressed her face, his fingertips guiding her skin as it heated up inch by inch. He opened his thin lips and said, "Prohibition is invalid."
The noble face lowered, the black hair on her forehead approached Xing Kui's forehead, and their lips were about to touch. Suddenly, there was a noise outside the door. She trembled all over and pushed Zhou Jing away.
His cheeks were burning so badly that Li Chengchuan must have noticed something was wrong. Xing Kui grabbed Zhou Jing without saying a word, pushed him into the back room, and closed the door.
She's the only one in the room, so it shouldn't make people think anything bad, right?
Xing Kui held her chest to catch her breath, forced a smile, and turned in front of the closed door: "Zhou Li?"
"Have you moved to the house across the street?" Zhou Li, wearing a rose-red fur coat today, walked in with her high heels clacking on the floor. Even her nails were the same rose-red color as the fur coat. She still had short hair and wore sunglasses.
Xing Kuixin suddenly thought that changing houses was a way to guard against Zhou Li. Who would have thought that Zhou Li came when she was still in the stage of looking at houses and the door was open.
The minimalist clock on the wall showed 8:30 in the morning. Zhou Li was walking around her house as if it were her own. There were marks on her exposed neck left by a utility knife.
Xing Kui quietly stepped back, reached the door behind him, and put his hands behind his back to grab the door handle.
If Zhou Li dared to mess around again, she would open the door and let Zhou Jing out.
"Hey! Seeing me so scared, your face is as red as a peach." Zhou Li walked a few steps and looked over, with her eyebrows and chin raised proudly.
No, my face is as red as a peach because of your brother.
"How is the wound?" Zhou Li asked arrogantly.
Xing Kui glanced at her palm, where the blood seeping from the gauze had already coagulated: "It's okay."
Zhou Li also saw the blood-stained gauze and laughed, "You deserve to bleed. Who asked you to block the knife for me? Are you a saint?"
"Don't use compliments carelessly." Xing Kui objected without hesitation. She didn't like people using compliments that belonged to women to insult women. "I'm helping you because you don't really want to hurt me. If you really want to hurt me, I won't block the knife. I'll grab the knife and stab you in the artery."
Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and pretended to look at the ceiling, her ears turning strangely red. "Then are you willing to forgive me?"
Xing Kui mustered up her courage and said, "I don't want to."
"Hmph." Zhou Li snorted through her sunglasses, turned around and walked out the door, the long rose-red fur swaying in the air.
Thinking that Zhou Jing had been angered and left, Xing Kui wanted to release Zhou Jing. Just as she turned her head, she heard the sound of wheels sliding on tiles. At the door, Zhou Li, with her hands painted with rose-red nail polish, was pulling a small cart and crossing the threshold again.
The cart was filled with boxes and bags, stacked very high.
Pulling it all the way in front of Xing Kui, Zhou Li picked up the transparent cake box on top and said, "Here, this is Jin Nuoyan's limited edition spring cake."
Xing Kui took it.
Zhou Li then picked up the second medicine box: "Here, a home medical supply set."
Xing Kui put the cake on the ground and took the second one.
Zhou Li then picked up the third item: "Hermès slippers."
It was a bit expensive, so Xing Kui put the medicine box on the ground and took the third item.
The fourth, fifth, and Nth items...
The cart was emptied, and Xing Kui's feet were already filled with things. Square boxes and paper bags of all sizes surrounded her. Directly opposite her, Zhou Li raised her chin and waved her hand impatiently: "Can you forgive me now?"
Xing Kui blinked and understood: "No."
"How could you be like this!" Zhou Li couldn't contain herself anymore and yelled out, stomping the ground with her stilettos several times in anger. "I've given you so many things, and you still won't forgive me! How dare you not forgive me! Do you know who's standing in front of you?"
Xing Kui thought for a moment and said, "A celebrity who is not very popular."
Zhou Li choked, then roared even louder, stomping her feet on the floor, flailing her arms, spit flying everywhere. "Who said I'm not popular anymore?! Who said that?! I even won the Most Convincing Female Artist Going Crazy on Weibo last year!"
Do you still need to act? Xing Kui whispered: "Well-deserved."
"That's right! You have good taste!" Zhou Li proudly raised her eyebrows and puffed out her chest, humming, "So you want to forgive me now, right?"
She was an artist who had won some strange award. What did it have to do with her? Xing Kui looked at Zhou Li awkwardly and said, "I don't want to."
"You! If you don't forgive me, I will beat you!" Zhou Li raised his fist.
Behind the dark door, Zhou Jing was leaning against the door listening, trying to prevent Zhou Li from being imprudent. Hearing Zhou Li's arrogant speech, his brows furrowed, and he turned the doorknob to show up. Unexpectedly, as soon as the door was opened a crack, Zhou Li pounced dramatically at Xing Kui's legs with a thud.
Even the calm Zhou Jing was stunned and looked through the crack in the door.
Xing Kui was also confused, with her eyes lowered. Zhou Li locked her legs without caring about her image, knelt in front of her and cried loudly: "Please forgive me, I know I was wrong. I couldn't sleep all night, and all I could think about was you protecting me. I went out in the early morning to buy things for you. Please forgive me, there won't be a next time, wuwuwuwu."
"Let go." Xing Kui's back was covered with goose bumps. Zhou Li quickly took off her sunglasses, and tears fell from her smoky-made eyes like rain. She no longer looked like the arrogant peacock she was before.
"I won't loosen it! I won't loosen it!" Zhou Li's tears splashed onto Xing Kui's cream-colored pajamas. She acted like a rogue, "Unless you forgive me, I'll sew myself to your legs with a needle."
She actually took out a needle! It was so thin and long, it was terrifying.
What a neurotic person. Xing Kui recalled what Zhou Jing had told her about Zhou Li's life story. Both her parents had passed away, and she was adopted by a family that she regarded as her enemy. How should I put it? If you are not the person involved, you will never understand what kind of state of mind the person has lived with for more than 20 years, and you can't force her to be sensible and reasonable.
She sighed and bent down amid Zhou Li's dizzying wails.
Zhou Li wiped her tears and looked at her in confusion. Xing Kui opened the medicine box she had just received beside her leg, took out a band-aid, tore open the package, moved her hand to the wound on Zhou Li's neck, and gently put the band-aid on her wound.
Then, she used all her strength to grab Zhou Li's short hair, angrily avenging the hair pulling that night, and smiled: "Don't let it happen again."
It hurts so much when she pulls her hair.
Her fingers are so cold.
But she is so warm.
Zhou Li knelt beside Xing Kui's legs, stopped talking, and slowly opened her eyes that were soaked in water and filled with brokenness.
"Why don't you let go of my legs? Eh——"
Caught off guard, Zhou Li pounced on Xing Kui from below, hugged her, and cried several times louder than before.
"Wow, wow, wow, I will be your little sister from now on. If you let me go west, I will go there. Wow, wow, wow, I really want to sew myself onto your body..."
Xing Kui: "..." Why does she want to sew even more?
Zhou Jing, watching this scene from the other side of the door, felt a hint of relief in his eyes. He didn't want to marry because of Zhou Li. How could his wife be happy with a sister like Zhou Li who was so dedicated to making his life miserable?
However, Zhou Jing guessed yesterday that Xing Kui could control Zhou Li, and today it was confirmed.
Zhou Li is not a bad person by nature. She will feel guilty when she does bad things, but no one has ever forced her to kneel down.
Xing Kui seems to have a soft personality, but in fact she rarely lets others lead her. At least Zhou Jing has never seen her being led by others unless she is willing to do so.
She is independent in thought and firm in her stance. Apart from her mother who gave birth to her and raised her, she will tolerate no one else. She will take revenge on anyone else if she has a grudge and will take grudges if she has a grudge. She will not forgive anyone if she says she will not forgive them. She will do whatever she says.
This is a very excellent quality, but it also brings great challenges to Zhou Jing. Zhou Jing pinched his brows. The road to chasing his wife is full of thorns. Fortunately, Xing Kui has not told him in person that she wants to change people.
In any case, the hurdle of Zhou Li has been solved, and there is now one less obstacle in front of Zhou Jing.
"But you really shouldn't be with Zhou Jing."
"?"
Outside the door, Zhou Li finally let go of Xing Kui after unilaterally recognizing her as a sister. She wiped her tears and put on her sunglasses again. "I'm really trying to persuade you this time for your own good. Zhou Jing was always hanging out with dubious people during his junior high school years. Who knows if he was messing around at the time?"
Zhou Jing: "..." I know very well whether I have been messing around or not.
"Even if he reforms later, that thing can't be cut and regrown." Zhou Li warmly expressed her concern for the good sister she had unilaterally identified. "You require virginity when looking for male models, so you must be even more strict when looking for men. Listen to me, if you change him, find someone who is sure."
Hearing the change, Xing Kui blinked: "Who are you changing?"
"Li Chengchuan!" Zhou Li came over, cupped her ear, and whispered in what she thought was a quiet voice, "He has a serious mysophobia and has definitely never touched a woman. I even suspect his vagina is pink."
Click, Zhou Jing opened the door and came out: "Zhou Li, go back to the production team."
