Chapter 35: Can't I just hide away if I can't afford to offend you?
A group of people played until nine o'clock in the evening. It started to be windy outside and the temperature was not as warm as before. Wearing only a single piece of clothing, they still felt a little cold.
"Everyone should go back and rest early, the weather may change soon." Zhang Hanzhou reminded.
It happened that everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, and had played the game to their heart's content, so they went back to their rooms in groups of three or four.
Ji Zhou had a great time tonight, drinking from bottles with two boys he had just met. Now he feels dizzy and can hardly tell the directions.
Yu Chucheng asked someone to send him back to the room, and he and Duan Huaijin went to the 24-hour convenience store in the villa to buy some disposable items.
Because of what happened tonight, the two of them walked together without saying a word and the atmosphere seemed particularly awkward.
Yu Chucheng couldn't stand this strange atmosphere, which felt even hotter than a thunderstorm in the hot summer afternoon, so he made small talk: "What do you think about the question I asked you on the phone last time? Do you plan to move out?"
Duan Huaijin looked calm, "Work part-time for half a year before moving out."
If Yu Chucheng's lips were not still a little numb, he would have almost thought that everything that happened tonight was just his imagination.
"Don't you have any money? I can lend you some." Yu Chucheng blurted out. After he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong and quickly added, "I just think your family is too depressing. I don't mean to look down on you."
Duan Huaijin was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "I appreciate your kindness, but I don't need it for now."
Yu Chucheng admired Duan Huaijin's endurance from the bottom of his heart. If he had grown up in that kind of environment, he would have been depressed long ago.
Although the last plan to hire someone to persuade the villain failed, Yu Chucheng never gave up.
This was a good opportunity. Yu Chucheng thought for a moment and suddenly called Duan Huaijin.
Duan Huaijin tilted his head and looked at Yu Chucheng's somewhat anxious face, "What's wrong?"
Yu Chucheng scratched the tip of his nose. "Do you like Omega or Alpha? Or do you like Beta more?"
Duan Huaijin didn't understand why Yu Chucheng asked such a strange question, but he did think about it seriously and the answer he came up with was -
"have no idea."
Yu Chucheng didn't believe it, "How could I not know? Everyone has their favorite gender and type."
Duan Huaijin lazily responded: "Liking is a very complicated thing. Do you know what liking is?"
Yu Chucheng said confidently: "Of course I know."
However, Duan Huaijin's words pierced Yu Chucheng's heart, "Have you ever been in love?"
Yu Chucheng's mouth froze. Not only had he never been in love in his life, but he was also a beautiful peony before he traveled through the book.
Yu Chucheng muttered in a weak voice: "No, but what does this have to do with whether or not you've been in a relationship before."
"It does matter." Duan Huaijin tilted his head, his voice slightly deep, "You haven't even experienced the feeling of being in love, so how do you know what love really is."
Yu Chucheng was unable to refute for a moment and had to end the topic.
The two of them walked around the convenience store for more than ten minutes, and when they came out, the wind was stronger outside. They quickened their pace back, but it started to rain when they were halfway there.
If I had known this earlier, I would have bought two umbrellas at the convenience store.
Yu Chucheng put the thing on his head and was about to rush back at the speed of an 800-meter sprint.
Duan Huaijin tore open the packaging bag, shook out the disposable bath towel inside, and covered Yu Chucheng's head with it.
"The wound on your head cannot get wet yet. It will be better if you use this to block it."
Yu Chucheng was speechless, thinking that this was not enough, and this was what Duan Huaijin was going to use tonight.
But the rain had already started to fall, and it was too late to stop it now.
Yu Chucheng quickly spread out the bath towel, "What about you? Let's put it on together."
Duan Huaijin reached out and pulled it to make sure the gauze on Yu Chucheng's head wouldn't get wet. "I don't need it. Just cover it up."
In order to reach their residence faster, the two gave up the main road and took the small path next to it.
Yu Chucheng walked in front with his head down. When he was about to reach the destination, two men in black clothes and masks were standing at the corner in front.
The two men stood there motionless, holding a black sack over their heads in their hands. It was obvious that they were not normal people.
They saw Duan Huaijin behind Yu Chucheng, looked at each other, and nodded as if to confirm.
Yu Chucheng frowned, his whole body on high alert, "Who are you?"
One of the men said sternly, "We are looking for the person behind you. It has nothing to do with you."
These two people were actually coming for Duan Huaijin. Yu Chucheng quickly glanced at the things in their hands, and suddenly felt someone holding down his shoulder. Duan Huaijin pulled him back and blocked him in front of him.
"You go first." Duan Huaijin said in a deep voice without turning his head.
"I won't leave." Yu Chucheng grabbed Duan Huaijin's arm and said quickly in a low voice, "There are two of them and we have two of us. We have a chance of winning if we're two against two."
But just as he finished his words, three more men in black, also with their faces covered, came out from behind the corner. They stood in a row in a well-trained manner, blocking his way.
Yu Chucheng: “…”
Well, there's really no chance of winning this time.
Duan Huaijin narrowed his eyes and suddenly wanted to light a cigarette.
Zhang Hanzhou, ah, Zhang Hanzhou, you are really too impatient.
It would be a little troublesome to deal with five people, but as long as Yu Chucheng stayed away and didn't get hurt accidentally, it would be no problem for him to knock them down.
Duan Huaijin's face darkened, the air pressure around him suddenly dropped, and a storm was about to come.
Seeing the five people slowly approaching, Duan Huaijin turned around and wanted Yu Chucheng to step back.
But before he could finish his words, Yu Chucheng grabbed Duan Huaijin's hand and ran away at lightning speed.
"A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. If we can't afford to provoke them, can't we just hide away?" Yu Chucheng was extremely fast, and in order to prevent them from catching Duan Huaijin, he used all his strength.
Not only Duan Huaijin was stunned, but the men in black also took several seconds to react.
"Chase!"
Several people, holding things in their hands, ran after the two men.
Yu Chucheng ran as fast as a rabbit, but he had to pull the bath towel covering his head while running. In fact, his full strength had not yet been fully unleashed.
Duan Huaijin is one of the few people who can keep up with his speed.
The two held hands and pushed through the rain, splashing water as they stepped through the puddles.
Yu Chucheng looked back while running.
Damn it, those men in black are still chasing us.
There was no one on the road to the villa at the moment, so Yu Chucheng thought quickly and took Duan Huaijin to turn a corner.
"Hurry up, the road ahead is a dead end!"
The men in black rushed anxiously towards the place where the two people last disappeared. The air was filled with thick water vapor. They chased for a long distance, but suddenly found that the target was gone.
"Where are the people?"
"He was in front of me just now, how come he disappeared all of a sudden?"
"This is the only road in this hut area. They must be ahead!"
Several people shouted and continued to chase forward in a swarm.
Human figures flashed across his face, and Yu Chucheng held his breath.
He and Duan Huaijin were squeezed face to face in the gap between two wooden houses. Shadows covered them, and no one noticed them when the men in black ran past.
However, the gap here was too narrow, so Yu Chucheng had to stick closely to Duan Huaijin.
Duan Huaijin could clearly feel Yu Chucheng's heartbeat like a drum. He lowered his eyes silently. Yu Chucheng had a bath towel covering his head. From his angle, he could only see Yu Chucheng's jaw unconsciously tense due to nervousness, and the raindrops slowly sliding down his neck.
Duan Huaijin breathed lightly, and his eyes followed the raindrops that had no sense of boundaries.
At this moment, Yu Chucheng suddenly raised his head.
"It seems to be far away. We can go out now."
That delicate, fair face was slightly flushed due to the intense running just now, and the brows were stained with the first moisture of the approaching autumn. The hair at the temples was half stuck to the face. When the upper eyelids looked at Duan Huaijin, those charming eyes were filled with innocence and confusion.
Duan Huaijin's throat tightened.
