Chapter 3 Natural Rivals
Luo Pingcheng fell asleep on the bed, reeking of alcohol.
I stood there all night, not daring to move, for fear of waking him up, but also afraid to get close to him.
Luo Pingcheng scolded him all day long, with the contempt of a master looking down on his pet, but he would often fall asleep on his bed without saying a word.
Luo Pingcheng had this bad habit before Master Luo died.
Come to think of it, the first time Luo Pingcheng fell asleep in his own bed was after the old lady's funeral.
Luo Pingcheng hugged the pillow, half of it wet with tears, and stood there all night long just like he was now, standing all night long.
In the blink of an eye, five or six years passed, and Luo Pingcheng had developed this bad habit.
I got used to it even during the night, standing still and quietly all night long.
"Hey, you were standing there all night again? Why didn't you wake me up? I came here to ask you a question! Asshole, if you didn't wake me up last night, I'd forgotten everything!"
Luo Pingcheng slept contentedly. He scratched his hair several times, but still couldn't remember what he wanted to ask last night. He became angry again and jumped up and swung his fist to hit him.
Lian Ye remained motionless, even raising her head and chest to meet his fist.
Being beaten, scolded, spitted on, humiliated and exploited was all he had experienced for a long time.
In the Luo family, he could only get these things. If he couldn't even get these, he would be left with nothing.
Luo Pingcheng's fist was about to hit him in the face, and Shi Mingguang's smile flashed before his eyes. He was worried about his expression, and he said gently and tolerantly, "Be sure to ask me for help if you need anything."
Before Lian Ye could react, his open palm blocked Luo Pingcheng's fist in time.
"Heh, interesting, first time, this is the first time you've disobeyed me."
Luo Pingcheng was not angry, but found it amusing. He retracted his fist, sat back on the bed, crossed his legs, and scanned Lian Ye from head to toe.
"Oh, just in time, I remembered now. You lost contact for over an hour last night. Did you really meet someone? What happened?"
Lian Ye was obviously panicking, his eyes lowered: "I'm just looking for a place to hide. If I'm caught by that family, they will definitely torture me. If I'm not careful and expose the Luo family——"
When he failed to complete his lie overnight, Luo Pingcheng grabbed his collar tightly and strangled him until he couldn't breathe.
"Asshole, Chi Tiansheng, what on earth are you pulling? Ha, I've long suspected you had someone planted in our group. You clearly can't beat me in this bidding price!"
Luo Pingfeng's hands were shaking as he clutched Chi Tiansheng's collar tightly.
Chi Tiansheng is gentle and elegant, with a face that has the temperament of a noble man, but his body is strong and sturdy.
Chi Tiansheng tilted his head with a sneer, watching Luo Pingfeng standing on tiptoe with some difficulty, his facial features distorted with anger.
Luo Pingfeng, who was half a head shorter than him, always wanted to step on his head. He even cried in anger when he got second place in elementary school.
"Hey, you're like this, it reminds me of elementary school. Remember? That science and technology innovation competition, the only time you lost to me, you stomped your feet and cried."
Chi Tiansheng was smiling, but Luo Pingfeng was so angry that his face turned blue. He grabbed his collar even harder, pulling the buttons off.
"Okay, calm down. We've been rivals since we were little. We're strong opponents. What's wrong with letting me beat you once in a while?"
Chi Tiansheng smiled easily and held Luo Pingfeng's hand.
"If I weren't there, your life would be too boring, wouldn't it? Look, only when I beat you will you show your childish side, get angry, take off the mask of the perfect prince, and be your true self. Isn't that great?"
When others look at Luo Pingfeng, they only know that he is the most promising second young master of the Luo family and the one who shoulders the burden of the Luo family kingdom. Chi Tiansheng is also a childhood friend of his, and he knows the unknown side of Luo Pingfeng very well.
Luo Pingfeng is extremely competitive, aloof, cold, and selfish, but once he loses, his childish side becomes apparent, like a little prince throwing a tantrum.
Luo Pingfeng didn't know that it wasn't that no one could beat him, but that no one dared to beat him except himself.
The Chi family and the Luo family are on equal footing, but unfortunately the Chi family only has Chi Tiansheng left, and gradually its power is inferior to that of the Luo family. However, Chi Tiansheng is so proud that he still dares to compete with Luo Pingfeng.
Only Chi Tiansheng dared to tell the truth to Luo Pingfeng and say things that Luo Pingfeng didn't want to hear.
"Heh, Chi Tiansheng, including this bid, you've only beaten me twice in your life. Stop bragging in front of me and being so self-righteous! Next time, no, from now on, you'll never beat me again in this life."
Luo Pingfeng was saying something harsh, but because his hands and feet were weak, he couldn't act harshly.
"Luo Pingfeng, when you stop thinking about winning against me, you will truly win."
Chi Tiansheng had a faint smile on his lips, and his clear black eyes seemed to penetrate Luo Pingfeng. This was why he hated Chi Tiansheng the most.
Luo Pingfeng straightened his tie and strode towards the car waiting for him.
He looked back and saw Chi Tiansheng still waving at him with a smile on his face. The bright and quiet moonlight matched his smile very well.
"You're wrong, Chi Tiansheng. I never thought about winning against you. I don't need to think about winning against anyone."
He is the king, in the Luo family, in this circle, and in any competition. Chi Tiansheng is not his opponent, not the person he wants to defeat, but an "obstacle", an obstacle that makes him upset and inexplicably anxious.
As long as Chi Tiansheng disappears from this world, the restlessness in his heart will also disappear.
At this moment, Luo Pingfeng believed it without a doubt.
