Chapter 9



Zhao Yexi's grudge notebook is stored on his phone, and to prevent loss, it's synced with his computer and tablet. Since he created it, he's recorded over eighty entries. The first one was written a year ago after he lost to Lu Huang in a debate competition, and the words were filled with his anger.

I never thought Lu Huangzhi would be this kind of person. I'm so fucking blind!!! He still has the nerve to say "acceptance"? Is there still law? Is there still law?

Zhao Yexi was furious when he recalled the debate. He couldn't delete this post; it was the root cause of his feud with Lu Huangzhi. After careful consideration, Zhao Yexi deleted a recent post: [Lu Huangzhi asked me if I was mentally retarded. Although I bounced back, I was still very angry.]

Zhao Yexi was going to report to the ABO Institute next Monday. Over the weekend, he spent half a day packing up, tricking Tao Qiaosheng into doing hard labor, and moved into the apartment the institute had prepared for its employees.

Because Tao Qiaosheng was an unrelated person, he had to register and be searched by the burly security guard. It took a long time before he was allowed to enter the apartment.

"I understand," Tao Qiaosheng said, carrying Zhao Yexi's suitcase and walking out of the elevator with ease and grace. After changing clothes, he could go directly to the airport to work as a flight attendant. "These people live here, and security measures must be in place. But isn't it a bit too much for him to ask me to take off my shoes?"

"Who told you to wear boots?" Zhao Yesi followed him, struggling to hold a large cardboard box with a pink trash can on top. "Help me take the trash can down," he gasped, "I can't see the road."

Tao Qiaosheng shook his finger and said with a grin, "No, kid, the trash can will reduce my charm."

"There's no one here, who are you trying to show off your charm to?"

Tao Qiaosheng suddenly went crazy and kept slapping Zhao Yesi's arm. Zhao Yesi angrily said, "If you do that again, I'll throw a trash can over your head."

Tao Qiaosheng lowered his voice: "It's Lu Huangzhi."

While the two were talking, Lu Huangzhi had already walked up to Zhao Yesi and said, "Senior, do you live on this floor too?"

This is too useless. If he doesn't live on this floor, why is he here? Taking a walk? "No," Zhao Yesi said sarcastically, "I live on the rooftop."

The cardboard box contained the computer's mainframe. His arms were shaking a little after holding it for so long, but he had to keep steady and not let Lu Huangzhi notice.

Tao Qiaosheng laughed and said, "Where are you going, Schoolboy Lu?"

Lu Huangzhi picked up the garbage bag in his hand and said, "Take out the trash."

Zhao Yesi said, "You look so good in this outfit just to take out the trash?!"

"I just took a shower and put on some random clothes." Lu Huangzhi said, "Does it look good?"

Zhao Yexi: "..."

Tao Qiaosheng: "Ah, this..."

A closer look reveals Lu Huangzhi's sloppy, unfinished look. His hair is still damp, unblown and unwashed. He's wearing a loose, solid-colored loungewear, a pair of slippers with logos on them, and a garbage bag in hand. This skin would be worth a buck on anyone else, but on Lu Huangzhi, it's a Legendary-only item.

Lu Huangzhi glanced at Zhao Yesi's pink trash can and said, "Do you need help?"

"No need," Zhao Yesi said coldly, "Go take out your trash."

While the staff apartment isn't large, it's a small duplex. Downstairs is the dining room, living room, and balcony; upstairs is the bedroom and bathroom. Standing in the living room, you can see the bed. It's perfect for a couple, but more than enough for one person.

Tao Qiaosheng looked at him with envy and said sarcastically, "Are you guys still short of people?"

Zhao Yesi put the cardboard box on the ground and pounded his arm, saying, "I heard that they work from nine to twelve here."

Tao Qiaosheng didn't take it seriously. "It's not bad. It's about the same as the programmers in my company."

The cleaning lady had cleaned the apartment beforehand, and the first thing Zhao Yexi did when he moved in was to assemble his computer. Tao Qiaosheng didn't help either, standing on the balcony gazing into the distance, as if contemplating the future of humanity.

After a while, he came in and asked Zhao Yexi: "Xizi, shall we eat hot pot later?"

Zhao Yesi didn't even raise his head, "Where do you want to eat?"

"Let's eat here," Tao Qiaosheng said, "to warm up your new home."

"Okay."

"By the way, Xizi, has Lu Huangzhi split up?"

Zhao Yesi nodded, "Alpha."

Tao Qiaosheng was surprised and asked, "Could it be true what they say online? Handsome guys have a higher chance of becoming Alphas than ordinary people?"

"There's also a claim online that eating shit is good for your health. Would you eat it?"

When Lu Huangzhi returned from taking out the trash, the door to the apartment across the street was open. Zhao Yesi stood on tiptoe in front of the wardrobe, trying hard to put a four-piece suit on the top shelf.

His movements lifted up the sweatshirt on her upper body, revealing a fair and slender waist.

Lu Huangzhi couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Fuck, a broken wardrobe is so high." Zhao Yesi complained, "Xiao Qiao, help me move a stool..."

Zhao Yesi felt someone approaching him. A familiar breath, with a hint of moisture, attacked him again.

The item in his hand was taken away, and the person standing behind him easily placed it somewhere he could never reach. "You're welcome."

Because of the posture of the two, although Zhao Yexi's glands had not yet fully grown, he could clearly and accurately capture Lu Huangzhi's scent.

Lu Huangzhi smelled like fruit, so refreshing and comfortable that his waist almost went weak.

Wait, this isn't right. Lu Huangzhi might smell good, but why is he so weak?

"I still have to thank you." Tao Qiaosheng's voice rang out, "Principal Lu, we're going to have hot pot later, do you want to join us?"

Lu Huangzhi readily agreed: "Okay."

Zhao Yesi came back to his senses, turned around and asked, "Have you washed your hands yet you touch my bed sheets?"

"Washed." Lu Huangzhi touched Zhao Yesi's cheek with the back of his hand, "You can check it out."

Lu Huangzhi's hand was not completely dry yet, and Zhao Yesi shuddered at the cold, his long eyelashes trembling wildly. He shook off Lu Huangzhi's hand, his earlobe slightly red, "Stay away from me, I'm allergic to men."

Lu Huangzhi raised his eyebrows, "Did I dog you?"

Tao Qiaosheng, who was watching the show from the side, had a subtle expression. These two people, on the surface, seemed to be at loggerheads, but in reality... this was fucking flirting!

"Well," Tao Qiaosheng said, "you guys continue, I'm going to buy some ingredients for the hot pot."

"Forget it. If you go, you'll have to take off your shoes in front of the security guards when you come back." Zhao Yesi picked up his coat. "I'll go. Do you guys want to eat anything?"

Tao Qiaosheng said: "Beef rolls, shrimp balls, cuttlefish balls, coriander bean curd skin..."

Lu Huangzhi said, "Coke, please."

Zhao Yesi left the house and opened WeChat to find the last chat history between him and Lu Huangzhi. Lu Huangzhi had sent him a test report that included a height item, but he was so depressed at the time that he didn't even pay attention.

Height: 187.8cm

Oh, it’s only 15cm higher, it can be ignored if rounded off.

Tao Qiaosheng and Lu Huangzhi were alone for the first time. After a few casual conversations on the balcony, Tao Qiaosheng felt that there was nothing wrong with Lu Huangzhi. He was handsome, had a great figure, and the fact that he had joined the ABO Institute in his second year of graduate school was a testament to his talent and high emotional intelligence. How could such a perfect man become such a sworn enemy of his son Xizi?

"Lu Xiaocao, can I ask you something?" Tao Qiaosheng said, "Xizi said you like to pick on him. Why? Isn't our Xizi adorable?"

Lu Huangzhi thought for a moment: "Do I have it?"

"You don't have any?"

"Even if there is, the targeting is mutual." Lu Huangzhi raised the corner of his mouth, "For example, now."

Tao Qiaosheng followed Lu Huangzhi's gaze and looked down. He saw Zhao Yesi coming out of a convenience store, carrying a bag full of food in one hand and a can of Coke in the other. He was shaking the can desperately, looking like he was having a seizure.

Tao Qiaosheng couldn't bear to watch it. He was about to cry because of Zhao Yexi's stupidity.

Son, can you be more careful when you do bad things? You are still shaking even after being caught in the act.

Lu Huangzhi took out his phone to record the scene and said to Tao Qiaosheng, "This is not my fault."

Tao Qiaosheng said, "Every cause has its consequences. If you hadn't defeated him in the debate, he wouldn't be like this."

Lu Huangzhi paused, "Debate?"

"It was last year," Tao Qiaosheng recalled. "Before that, Xizi always praised you for being handsome. After the debate, he started saying he was blind. Actually, he's not the type to refuse to admit defeat. I don't know what happened, but he seemed to have suffered a heavy loss that time."

Lu Huangzhi frowned slightly, then suddenly seemed to have thought of something. He showed an understanding expression and chuckled softly, "It's a bit cute."

Tao Qiaosheng thought he had misheard, "What what?"

Lu Huangzhi said, "Did he tell you what the topic of that debate was?"

"No, but it must be something very serious in your profession." Tao Qiaosheng said, "right?"

Lu Huangzhi smiled and said, "Go ask him."

Zhao Yesi returned to the apartment carrying a bunch of stuff, his face showing no trace of guilt after having done something bad. "Xiao Qiao, take out the induction cooker and boil some water. Lu Huangzhi, your Coke."

Tao Qiaosheng desperately winked at Zhao Yesi. Zhao Yesi was puzzled: "Are you blind?"

Tao Qiaosheng said, "I suddenly want to drink Coke too. How about giving me this bottle..."

Zhao Yesi hurriedly said: "No!"

"No need." Lu Huangzhi said meaningfully, "Thank you, Senior Zhao."

Zhao Yesi remained calm on the surface: "You're welcome."

Tao Qiaosheng turned around silently. The scene that followed was too beautiful to watch.

Zhao Yesi took the ingredients out of the bag one by one, and watched out of the corner of his eye as Lu Huangzhi picked up the can of Coke that he had destroyed.

——It’s coming!

Lu Huangzhi held the Coke low, and as he opened it with one hand, bubbles rushed out. Lu Huangzhi didn't panic at all. His face didn't show the ferocious contortions Zhao Yesi had expected, nor did he show the flustered look. He calmly let the Coke spray onto his T-shirt.

Zhao Yexi: “???” Why is he still handsome?

"My clothes are dirty." Lu Huangzhi said slowly, "Can you help me wash them, senior?"

Zhao Yesi said coldly: "Why don't you go to sleep? You can dream about anything."
