Chapter 59 The Substitute Chapter: What's Wrong with Me Scolding You?
How could the young master, who was always of noble birth and privilege, tolerate this? Pei Zilie saw him as if he were an enemy, and immediately shunned the thin man beside him and rushed towards Xie Changyu.
They were aggressive and menacing.
Xie Changyu's eyes flashed, and he knew something was wrong. He quickly grabbed Fu Jing's sleeve and pulled him in front of him, while he stood a little behind so that he could run away if a fight broke out.
Pei Zilie looked at Fu Jing in front of him with disdain and said in a domineering tone, "Fu Jing, get out of my way!"
Fu Jing remained calm and composed, arms crossed over his chest, without moving. "No."
Xie Changyu, who was behind him, rolled his eyes and continued to smile.
Hehehe.
Pei Zilie, who had witnessed everything, was furious, but he was helpless against Fu Jing, who stood in front of him like a protective shield, blocking his movements. He knew that this guy was good at martial arts, and although he had some skills, he was no match for this guy who had practiced martial arts since childhood.
He frowned and said in a less than friendly tone, "Xie Changyu, look at yourself! What kind of behavior is this, hiding behind him all the time? If you're so capable, confront me face to face!"
Xie Changyu, however, showed no shame upon hearing this; he shamelessly smiled and pursed his lips.
"Where did I hide? This is just normal communication. You say your piece, I say mine."
As she spoke, she tugged at Fu Jing's belt, as if afraid he would run away.
"What? It's been so long, aren't you going to introduce this person to us?"
Xie Changyu pointed to a man not far away whose face was turned towards them. From his angle, he looked thin and frail, unlike a man, but he was quite tall.
"I didn't expect Pei Zilie to have this kind of taste?" Xie Changyu thought to himself.
"Yes, Young Master Pei, we've known each other for years. Who is this young master? Aren't you going to introduce him?"
Fu Jing also smiled and chimed in.
However, they already knew the man's identity, and now the two of them were deliberately bringing it up to humiliate Pei Zilie, who was so arrogant.
Sure enough, Pei Zilie, who had always been at odds with them, looked displeased upon hearing their words. He snorted coldly, "What does this have to do with you?"
Xie Changyu peeked out, her eyes sparkling, "Of course it concerns us, aren't we your friends?"
"...Friend?" Pei Zilie thought he had misheard, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets. "You?"
"yes."
Xie Changyu stepped out from behind Fu Jing this time. Whether he was bolder or felt emboldened by Fu Jing's presence, he walked directly to Pei Zisui's side. He originally wanted to put his hand on the guy's shoulder, but then he remembered that this guy was fond of men and felt a chill in his heart. He put his hand down and clenched it into a fist instead.
The distance between the two instantly closed, and when Pei Zilie looked up, he could even see the serious look in the eyes of the person in front of him.
The handsome, lively young man gave him a sly smile and said, "We've known each other for so long, we can be considered good friends, right?"
Pei Zilie was initially dazed, but quickly recovered and raised his hand to defend himself, stammering, "You, you stay away from me!"
Xie Changyu raised an eyebrow, looking at his actions with some confusion. "Are you afraid of me?"
"I...how could I be afraid of you!"
Pei Zilie took a few steps back, looking somewhat disheveled. He glared at Xie Changyu and retorted, "Who told you to stand so close to me! Don't you know you stink!"
As he spoke, he even covered his nose in disgust, looking quite serious.
Xie Changyu frowned. Although he knew the other person was talking nonsense, it didn't stop him from being in a bad mood. His tone instantly turned fierce, "You're the one who stinks! You fat stinker!"
Fu Jing, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, raised an eyebrow upon hearing this address and chuckled, a hint of a smile appearing between his handsome brows.
This mocking laugh, like adding fuel to the fire, directly enraged Pei Zilie.
His handsome features instantly turned cold, and there was a sound of his teeth grinding.
What did you call me?
The atmosphere instantly became dangerous, and the attendants waiting nearby all lowered their heads, not daring to say a word, wishing they could cover their ears and stop listening to their young master arguing with the other two noblemen.
Although they were guards protecting the young master, the lead guard had watched the other two young masters grow up and knew how to distinguish between them. Moreover, if they really helped the young master pull that young master Changyu and hurt him, there was no guarantee that they wouldn't be held responsible for the incident later.
This has happened quite often before.
Therefore, having learned from their experience, the attendants dutifully kept watch from the sidelines to prevent anyone else from coming to this place.
Xie Changyu, seemingly oblivious to his horrified expression, continued repeating the same phrase, "You fat stinker, you fat stinker, you fat stinker! Do I have to say it several more times if you didn't hear me?"
He slightly raised his chin, his eyes filled with provocation.
Fatty...
This word was the last thing Pei Zilie wanted to hear. Xie Changyu knew this, which is why he repeatedly used this word to deliberately provoke Pei Zilie. If you wanted to ask him why he knew that using "fat" to insult Pei Zilie would make him very angry, you would have to go back to their childhood.
Fu Jing didn't know, but he had heard about it.
That was a memory known only to Xie Changyu and Pei Zilie.
Pei Zilie's brows furrowed with a hint of malice, clearly recalling that memory. His face gradually darkened, and he looked ready to explode.
"Don't think I won't dare to touch you just because Fu Jing is here."
Xie Changyu was not afraid of his threat at all. He turned his eyes and continued to provoke him, "You can't beat Fu Jing. He's so powerful and you're so weak. I believe he can protect me."
Upon hearing this, Pei Zilie's attention and anger instantly shifted to Fu Jing behind him, and he mocked, "A dignified young master of the General's Mansion, actually acting as Xie Changyu's shadow, Fu Jing, no wonder many people say you are not as good as your brother, you have no ambition at all!"
Fu Jing, who was standing tall, merely lifted his eyelids slightly upon hearing his words, crossed his arms, and remained unmoved by them. Instead, he said, "You're jealous of me."
"Ha, I'm jealous of you?"
"If you're not jealous of me, then what are you?" Fu Jing lowered his hands, his tone languid. "What does it matter to you who I'm with? I'm happy with it."
"Oh, Pei Zilie, so you're jealous of Fu Jing, huh?"
The handsome young man with rosy lips and white teeth had his eyes crinkle into a smile, instantly captivating and mesmerizing.
Xie Changyu stepped forward, raising his eyebrows slightly. He looked at Pei Zilie and said, "If you were jealous that Fu Jing could follow me, you should have said so earlier. I could let you play with me for a while because of your father."
Pei Zilie's eyes flashed with anger as his words were forcibly twisted, and he said in a irritated voice, "You think you're worthy?"
"Just a little thing—"
"What did you say?" Xie Changyu interrupted him, his smile vanishing as the other man's words clearly touched a nerve.
Fu Jing, who was standing nearby, frowned as he listened. He stepped forward and pulled Xie Changyu away, shielding him behind him, his expression becoming serious.
Pei Zilie shut his mouth in annoyance, but he didn't say anything, and the three of them just stood there.
Just as the atmosphere became tense, the thin man who had been invisible spoke up, his voice soft.
"Young Master".
Pei Zilie stood there, seemingly lost in thought, his handsome face showing impatience. "Shut up!"
He was already annoyed by the man he had brought back, and now hearing this voice only made him more annoyed. He stared at the mossy tiles on the ground and refused to look at anyone else.
But the thin man didn't shut up obediently. Instead, he slowly turned around and walked towards him. "Young Master, I wanted to ask if I can go back now?"
"Go back? What do you mean, go back?!"
Pei Zilie barely heard what was being said and replied impatiently, but halfway through his sentence, as if remembering something, his eyes widened, and he quickly turned the person who was about to approach away, refusing to show his face to the other two people.
As the night by the river gradually darkened and the lanterns dimmed, Fu Jing, with his sharp eyesight, naturally saw the face, but he didn't see Xie Changyu, whose view was partially blocked by him.
He ruffled the black hair in front of him and whispered in Fu Jing's ear, "Your hair seems to have gotten longer."
The heat instantly made his ears burn. Fu Jing twitched his ears, looking uncomfortable. "Really? Then I'll go back and get them trimmed."
"Hmm." Xie Changyu twirled his hair with some boredom. He was in a bad mood. He got angry when he thought about what Pei Zilie had just said. In his anger, he couldn't help but pull his hair hard, which made Fu Jing hiss slightly.
Xie Changyu looked up and realized something was wrong, so she let go, thinking it would be better to pull Pei Zilie's hair later.
"What is that guy doing?"
Xie Changyu whispered in Fu Jing's ear, asking him about Pei Zilie.
Fu Jing's expression remained unchanged, but his ears had already turned red. He recalled the face he had just seen, his eyes darkened, and he moved closer to him, saying, "It's nothing, they're going back."
"So fast?" Xie Changyu believed it. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Pei Zilie pulling the thin man in one direction, looking rather pitiful.
but.
Why does it look so familiar?
Xie Changyu narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that the figure looked more and more familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
Where is it?
A surge of curiosity welled up within him, and he asked Fu Jing, "Did you see what that man looked like just now?"
"No." Fu Jing shook his head. "Why are you looking at this? What's so interesting about a male prostitute? Don't dirty your eyes."
This statement completely ignores the fact that they had gone to that place on their own initiative not long ago.
"All right."
Xie Changyu agreed. Although he was still a little curious about what the man looked like, based on his previous experience, he thought he must be very handsome.
After all, she was the one Pei Zilie was willing to redeem, so she must be extremely beautiful, although from behind she looked a bit scantily clad.
Over there, Pei Zilie pulled the person away, then quickly let go, his eyes filled with disdain. His tone was extremely unpleasant, "What were you doing over there? Didn't you see you were disturbing our conversation?!"
The thin man in the blue robe raised his head, revealing his delicate and fragile face. His eyes were cold and indifferent, and he said in a nonchalant tone, "Young Master, you only paid for seven days of my time. I should go back tomorrow."
That's right, Prince Pei Zilie didn't completely redeem the person. Instead, he used his power to force the person out, but when he did, he quietly agreed to only lend the person for seven days.
After seven days, the person must be sent back.
The man in blue continued, "I hope that the fee for these seven days will be delivered to me on time tomorrow, Your Highness. Today I accompanied Your Highness on a tour of the city, which attracted the attention of others and damaged my reputation. Therefore, the fee will be doubled."
"What kind of reputation do you, a male prostitute, have???"
Pei Zilie was so angry he almost laughed. He felt that he must have been out of his mind to bring this only male prostitute who had ever been in contact with Xie Changyu out seven days ago. In a moment of madness, he brought him back, which not only ruined his reputation, but also made him suffer a scolding for no reason.
Damn it.
He's so angry!
However, if Xie Changyu could hear him say this, he would definitely laugh at him. What do you mean by ruining one's reputation? His reputation has never been good.
The man in blue remained calm and composed in the face of Pei Zilie's rage. He retorted softly, "I only sell my art, not my body, so naturally I value my reputation."
