Chapter 37 Chapter 37 "Say you love me, before ten o'clock tonight..."
"Scumbag, sweetheart."
“…Say thank you.”
His trembling hands had no strength, and he lazily lifted his earlobe. Feng Wen chuckled softly, and a wet kiss fell on the trembling groin in front of him, causing the muscle lines to tense honestly.
Looking up, he saw Beta's face flushed, and even his tongue was sticking out of his mouth due to pleasure. Feng Wen was in an incredibly good mood and swallowed.
"Thanks, sweetheart."
Feng Wen supported himself on the washbasin with one hand, stood up and pulled the person into his arms.
Xie Zhizhi pressed against his face as he approached: "Don't kiss me now."
Feng Wen scoffed and scolded him, "A double-standard bastard."
When the tongue licked his mouth without rejection, Xie Zhizhi frowned and snorted. Perhaps he knew that it was a bit too much. After two seconds of disdain, he closed his eyes and opened his mouth, hooking his arms around the alpha's neck with an obedient look.
But no matter how obedient he is, it cannot hide the fact that this person is about to get into someone else's car.
When Xie Zhizhi panted softly, holding onto his shoulders and pushing outwards with a gentle push, the line connecting his lips and tongue broke silently, and a hateful sentence uttered from that mouth:
"Are you okay? Take me home first. I need to change my clothes."
What are you changing clothes for?
Dress up beautifully, get in a shabby old car, and attend that unnecessary party as a fiancée?
Feng Wen hummed softly: "I'll take you there."
Xie Zhizhi smiled: "In what capacity? My deskmate at DeLand University?"
"It sounds better than I thought."
Feng Wen raised his chin and said, "Sweetheart, is this considered as trying to hook me?"
Xie Zhizhi shoved him aside and jumped off the sink, grunting perfunctorily: "Alright, alright."
"Ha——" That's too much.
Feng Wen folded his arms and chuckled, "So when do you plan to close the net? I'm so anxious."
Xie Zhizhi walked back and kissed his chin soothingly: "Soon."
How fast is very fast?
This estimate without a specific number of days was essentially a blank check. Especially when Xie Zhizhi said, "Stay in your room and don't get caught," while putting on his pants, Feng Wen let out a soft thud, thinking that Xie Zhizhi really was a scumbag who'd run away after sleeping with him.
But he had no other options, and even had to hand the person over to Shen Che himself.
It was three o'clock in the afternoon, only two hours left before the banquet started.
The quantum silver Aston Martin drove steadily into the garage. Feng Wen got out of the car, picked up Xie Zhizhi, who was drowsy in the passenger seat, and went up to the 26th floor with ease.
Familiar environment, familiar facilities, even the people are familiar.
When Xie Zhizhi was put on the sofa, he opened his sleepy eyes and keenly noticed that the other party was in a bad mood.
The reason is not difficult to guess.
He could only say: "It was really fast."
Feng Wen leaned over to look at him and put a cold metal ring into his palm.
"It's not that I don't believe you, I just..."
Feng Wen gently stroked the side of his face, swallowed the last half of the sentence, and smiled, "I'll give you a gift, sweetheart."
Xie Zhizhi lowered his head. Gift?
He opened his palm, and the Harry Winston bracelet, covered in diamonds, shone with tiny glints of light under the light. Xie Zhizhi licked his lower lip, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Then help me remove the bandage."
Feng Wen agreed and carefully held him in his arms.
The wound on his hand looked horrific, but it was actually just a superficial abrasion. After being treated and having been there for so many days, the pain had long since subsided. Feng Wen frowned as he helped him remove the wound, seeming a bit overly cautious.
Xie Zhizhi leaned in Feng Wen's arms and pursed his lips, feeling that even the mint scent in the air was sinking listlessly.
But it didn't stay submerged for long.
When the last bandage was removed, Xie Zhizhi felt his earlobe being licked hard. A familiar lazy voice sounded beside his face with a smile: "I wanted to say this the first time I came to your house, sweetheart, the way you bandaged your hand was really naughty. Next time, can you——"
"Oh, no."
Xie Zhizhi sneered as he watched the diamond ring slowly being put onto his ring finger, and after a moment it was taken off and put onto his middle finger instead.
Feng Wen lowered his head and kissed the back of his hand: "This one is not worthy of this position."
Four o'clock in the afternoon.
When the doorbell of Anhuan Bay rang, Xie Zhizhi raised his head, and the meaning was very clear: stay inside.
However, the facts proved that the jealous alpha was much bolder than Xie Zhizhi thought.
The phone in his pocket was buzzing with an incoming call. Xie Zhizhi's hand was tightly gripping the door handle, his body shaking with nervousness.
The alpha obviously did not listen to him and hide in the bedroom. Instead, when he walked towards the entrance, he suddenly put his arm around his waist and pressed him heavily against the door.
Feng Wen's voice was hoarse as she breathed softly into his mouth, "Say you love me, sweetheart... Why does the world revolve around you?"
Xie Zhizhi was forced to raise his chin and eagerly swallow the minty saliva passed to him by the other party. He asked him in a sobbing voice not to play with such a strange thing, as his heart was about to stop.
Feng Wen smiled lightly at this and did not comment.
The buzzing and vibrating phone seemed to be irritating Beta's fragile nerves, and even his body was shaking in time. Why could a broken phone and a vibrating ringtone occupy more of his attention?
A big hand reached into his pocket and ruthlessly pressed the reject button.
It is just one step away from the so-called "genuine brand".
Feng Wen's eyes were deep, and he bit his lower lip patiently, coaxing him in a low voice: "Say you love me and will be home before ten o'clock tonight."
"Well...be home before ten..."
"What else?"
Xie Zhizhi closed his eyes and felt that his heartbeat really stopped at a certain moment.
"……Love you."
After being kissed on the lips, Feng Wen mercifully let him go and rubbed his back: "Good boy, have fun."
The wrinkles on the double-breasted suit were meticulously smoothed.
…
When the door in front of him, which had been silent for a long time, was pulled inward, Shen Che tilted his head.
The phone in his palm showed that the call was rejected by the other party. He thought Xie Zhizhi was too angry and suddenly decided to stand him up.
That's bad.
He stood there for a while thinking about what to do. Maybe blocking the way at the entrance of the banquet hall was one idea, but that would be too conspicuous. Fortunately, the door in front of him opened with a click a few minutes later.
The last time the black-haired beta didn't treat someone coldly was probably a long time ago.
Her slender fingers held the metal door handle firmly, and her bright black eyes looked over without any sharpness. Instead, the corners of her eyes were moist and red, and even her lips were wet. Did she just take a shower?
His eyes swept from top to bottom. The well-tailored gray suit pinched Beta's waist very thinly. He said sincerely, "You look beautiful today."
The red lips with the shimmering color sneered:
"Don't talk to me like that, it's disgusting."
The tongue is still as sharp as ever. Shen Che took two steps back and subconsciously glanced inside before the door closed.
Click.
"You're not leaving?"
Shen Che withdrew his gaze.
"Let's go, Zhizhi."
#
"Can't find it?"
"Yes. The IP probably jumped many times before the final source was a home router and prepaid card in Latvia. Zheng Keli has been abroad for so many years, and he's still using this trick back home. Isn't that ridiculous?"
"Oh, I thought you would admit that you're useless. What's the difference between checking and not checking? Zheng still came to the old man's birthday party in all his glory. Are you stupid enough to use a meaningless digital IP address to make trouble and ask him to get out of the banquet hall?"
"Ah—at least today, can you not be so harsh?" Chen Che smiled. "I just didn't catch him for the moment. I'm not asking you to swallow your anger. Who are you showing this face to?"
Xie Zhizhi fiddled with his ring intermittently, glancing lazily out the window. "No. And don't act like I'm the only one who's been fooled. Speaking of embarrassment—it's really a shame, Chen Che. If you had any device with a camera back then, the most buzzed about news today wouldn't be financial papers, but entertainment news. Your section would probably have occupied a large portion of it. How come you're not famous?"
"Ha..." That sounds really bad.
Chen Che closed his eyes. He remembered how obedient and pleasing Xie Zhizhi was in his arms. Unlike now—
Either he was grinning or… Chen Che remembered the look of Xie Zhizhi holding the maple golf club in the Platinum Yue Club.
He took the golf club for the promise of leaving, his expression so dull that it was unremarkable. Shen Che had no doubt that if it weren't for that premise, Xie Zhizhi would have just walked away.
how so?
How can this be?
Shen Che suddenly thought there was a more interesting way to do it.
"Famous?"
"Financial News and Entertainment News aren't separated. If you want, we can print our profile pictures in both sections. The sections will be bigger than you think. Don't act so regretful. I'll think you really want it, Xiao Zhizhi."
The frivolous words succeeded in making the air silent for a moment, and Chen Che Ruyuan saw the eyelashes on that calm and almost dull face fluttering slightly, like a lake with ripples.
A few seconds later, a cold and harsh voice was heard.
"What role have you put yourself in? A love story?"
Xie Zhizhi grumbled impatiently and changed the subject: "How are those five people?"
"I've been lured around by Zheng Keli with US dollars, but in reality, I can't even get a lick of the bubble. Zheng is very ruthless. There was no way these rats could get out safely from the beginning. Now, of course, I have to give them up wherever I can."
"It doesn't matter. Zheng Keli wasn't coming after me anyway. I was just unlucky last time. He won't burn me with the same anger a second time."
From the beginning to the end, Zheng Keli's target was clear. Transfer student Wen Xuyan wasn't as innocent as he pretended, but Xie Zhizhi didn't care about any love, hate, or grudges. He was just a casualty of the fire, and if there was any reason for debt collection, it could only be that he had accidentally disrupted Zheng Keli's plan outside Songrong Street. The kidnappers' few words were enough for him to deduce the cause of this incident. He didn't believe that Shen Che, who had deliberately investigated, would not understand Zheng Keli's true intentions. He was not the one who should be worried.
"Where is Wen Xuyan?" Xie Zhizhi asked.
"Him?" Shen Che frowned, "Of course he's fine."
Wen Xuyan has never lived in the dormitory since the accident... Thinking of something, Shen Che tightened his jaw in annoyance.
The Harry Winston on the other person's index finger flashed in his peripheral vision and was very eye-catching. Shen Che casually changed the subject: "A new ring? It suits you very well."
Xie Zhizhi lowered his eyes and gently rubbed it with his fingertips: "It has nothing to do with you."
Shen Che leaned back in his seat, his gaze fixed.
"Thank you, Zhizhi."
He suddenly shouted.
As expected, the person next to him didn't react at all.
To be precise, I deliberately didn't respond to him.
Beta's beautiful profile remained calm from beginning to end. That red mouth had clearly called his name earnestly before. What had it said then?
——"Archer, when are we getting married?"
It's fake, of course it is fake. But it's really fucking annoying.
Shen Che pulled the corner of his mouth.
"It has nothing to do with me?"
He looked down at the Harry Winston and laughed meaningfully.
"How could that be?"
"Come to think of it, we haven't decided on wedding rings since we got engaged. Would you prefer a style full of diamonds?"
The word "engaged" was emphasized.
There was a long silence.
Xie Zhizhi took a deep breath and finally turned to look him in the face: “Chen Che, how long are you going to be so self-righteous?”
"Are you going to ask me what style of suit I like next, and then set a date for the engagement ceremony?"
Shen Che thought for a moment and chuckled.
"So you want an engagement? I thought you'd be bolder and talk about a wedding. It seems like you've always been concerned about the fact that we don't have a ceremony for our engagement."
The car stopped.
The door of the Bentley was still not opened. Xie Zhizhi quietly stared at the pair of golden eyes that were not smiling. For a brief moment, he felt that the emotions in them were so complicated that it frightened him.
It's ridiculous, how can there be such contradictory people in the world.
"Shen Che."
It was rare for a beta to look at him so intently. Shen Che unconsciously slowed down his breathing and asked slowly, "What's wrong?"
Supporting the seat with his left hand, he sat up and moved a few inches closer until he was face to face with Beta, his pupils unconsciously tracing and wandering.
Cold eyes, straight nose, narrow chin - he saw that the beautiful water-red lips suddenly curled up at a very sharp angle, as if mocking his self-conceit.
But why did his heart still skip a beat even though the words he uttered were so unpleasant?
"Don't tell me you're in love with me, Shen Che."
"You like omegas, so you should remember it better than me."
“Huh…” Shen Che blinked absentmindedly.
He remembered similar words that seemed to have been said to him by a pair of more gorgeous red lips - Archer, pheromones are the most stable thing in the world. No matter how loyal the love is, it will collapse in the face of pheromones.
What does that mean? Is Wen Xuyan's gardenia scent more worth worrying about than this hurtful mouth in front of me?
He saw that sharp mouth continue to open and close: "Want to smell it? How many times did you have to confirm that I don't have pheromones before giving up?"
The warm and cool fingertips landed on his chin, and with a little force, Shen Che had to retreat. In his peripheral vision, the diamond ring on Beta's finger seemed to be making a silent declaration.
"There's no way we can do that." Beta said.
The fingers on the lower jaw had been taken away long ago, and the electrified nerves would only be a phantom touch.
Announcement. Announcing what? Ridiculous, a ring on the middle finger is unconvincing, and the ring finger remains empty.
The car door opened, and Xie Zhizhi pulled out without any reluctance, which made Shen Che sniffle.
He sat there motionless for two seconds.
Two seconds later, Shen Che sneered from his nose.
——Hah, such a cool minty taste.
