âF**k, they are shameless!â
âNo one plays a game like this!â
The moment Ming Shu and her team came out, the crowd shouted at them angrily. If there were vegetables and eggs around, the scene might have been even more chaotic.
Ming Shu walked calmly. All they did was stick their red flag on the other teaâs map.
It was not against the rules.
No notification popped out when they stuck the flag there too.
What was there to be agitated about!
A Soft Smile was shocked by the strategy too. She learned new things by watching the competition.
Long live Master!
âMaster, are you going against the rules?â A Soft Smile asked softly.
âThere is no such rule.â Ming Shu ate the snacks that A Soft Smile bought for her. âHowever, the organizers will probably add a new rule in the next competition. We can only use this method once.â
Any amount of Hatred Points are welcomed.
I am a professional.
âOh, okay.â
Ming Shu didnât know what A Soft Smile understood.
âWind God, are you going to stay here and watch the competition?â Jiang Liu asked Ming Shu.
Ming Shu looked at the time. âNo.â
The little demon was still in the hospital.
...
âExcuse me, where is the patient in this ward?â
Ming Shu pulled a nurse aside.
The nurse looked at the room Ming Shu was pointing at. âHe was discharged.â
Discharged?
Si Chen was not in the company. Ming Shu finally managed to find him in the greenhouse.
Assistant #1 and Assistant #2 were standing outside the greenhouse, shivering with fear. She couldnât see what was happening inside, but from the expressions on the two peopleâs faces, something bad had happened.
âMiss Ji He...â Assistant #1 forced himself to speak. âYou should go back first. Mr. Si...â
âCan I go in and take a look?â
âThis...â
Assistant #1 and Assistant #2 exchanged glances with one another.
Mr. Si shouted that he wanted to teach Miss Ji He a lesson...
Would he hit Miss Ji He?
The two assistants were worried about Si Chen too, but they didnât dare to enter when he was boiling with anger. They pondered about it for a while, before ultimately opening the door for her.
The lights in the greenhouse were dim. The plants looked like ghosts floating in the air.
Ming Shu scanned the greenhouse. There was no sign of Si Chen.
However, there was a strong smell of alcohol in the room.
Ming Shu found Si Chen behind his office desk. His head was leaning against the table, and he was not moving. There was a half-emptied bottle of whiskey in his hand. Empty alcohol bottles surrounded him.
She just went to take part in a competition. How did the little demon become like this?
âSi Chen...â
Si Chen raised his head immediately. There was coldness in his eyes. He looked like a lion that was awakened from sleep.
Ming Shu froze in shock.
Clangâ n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The alcohol bottle dropped on the floor. Alcohol spilled all over the floor.
Si Chen pounced at Ming Shu. Ming Shu was caught off guard. She was worried that Si Chen would fall down, so she caught him.
The two of them fell to the ground. In the process, a few plants were knocked over.
Si Chen leaned over her. He grabbed her wrist and glared at her. âWhy?â
Why what?
Ming Shu frowned. âWhy are you acting crazy?â
âI am crazy?â
Si Chen took a deep breath. Ming Shu could smell the alcohol on his breath. He said angrily, âI am crazy... yes, I am crazy. Are you satisfied now?â
Ming Shu: ???
Si Chen suddenly lowered his head and bit her lips. Without any warning, he forced her mouth open and licked between her teeth.
Si Chenâs breathing got heavier.
The two of them were very close to each other. Ming Shu could sense the change in Si Chenâs body.
âSi Chen...â Ming Shu called him with some effort.
Si Chen had no reaction.
He kissed her lips and then moved his lips down to her neck.
Ming Shuâs breathing got heavy. However, she calmed down quickly and broke free from Si Chenâs grip. She hooked her leg and turned her body quickly. She was then on top of Si Chen.
Si Chen stopped moving. He just laid on the ground and looked at her silently.
âSi Chen?â
Si Chenâs eyes didnât even move.
Ming Shu released the hand that was holding him. She touched his face. âSi Chen, whatâs wrong?â
Si Chen turned his head. His voice was hoarse. âYou can leave.â
Ming Shu grabbed his face and forced him to look at her. âWhat is wrong?â
âGet out...â Si Chenâs voice stopped suddenly. He grabbed Ming Shuâs wrist and pulled her hand in front of his eyes.
She was wearing the red string that he gave her on her fair wrist.
Si Chenâs heart pounded furiously. His mouth was dry. He didnât know what to say.
âI...â Si Chen released her hand. He struggled to get up and then shrunk behind his office table. âIâm fine. I am just a little stressed. You... you can go back. I... I will find you after I calm down.â
Ming Shu looked at the red marks on her wrist.
She touched her wrist and stood up slowly. She pursed her lips lightly. âDid you ask me to get out just now?â
Her voice was soft.
However, Si Chenâs heart trembled.
âI didnât...â Si Chen replied. âI was drunk. I was talking nonsense.â
âI will get out now. Goodbye!â
Si Chen watched as Ming Shu turned around swiftly.
His heart hurt. It was as though something pricked him.
Si Chen rushed out and hugged Ming Shu from the back. âDonât leave.â
âWere you not the one who asked me to leave?â
âI didnât say that.â Si Chen tightened his arms. âI didnât say that. Donât go, please.â
His voice grew weak at the end.
Ming Shu thought for a moment. âWhy did you throw a tantrum just now?â
Si Chen buried his head in her neck. He said, âI thought that...
âI thought that you wanted to give it back to me.
âJi He, I like you.â
Si Chen felt relieved after he said this sentence. It was not as difficult as he thought.
âSo?â
Si Chen: ???
Si Chen got confused by her reply. Was this how a person should react after getting confessed to?
So what?
Was he supposed to explain why he liked her?
But he didnât even know the reason, either.
It was as though he was crazy...
He seemed different from his usual self...
No...
He felt that this was the real him. The Si Chen before was not his true character.
Si Chen always felt lost. He didnât know who he really was and what he should be doing.
Until he met her...
She was like the light at the end of the tunnel. She pointed out his path for him.
Si Chen tried his best to organize his words. He said, âBe my girlfriend.â
Ming Shu smiled. âWhat if I reject you?â
Si Chen hugged Ming Shu even tighter. Ming Shu could hear his heartbeat.
The greenhouse was quiet.
Si Chenâs voice sounded slowly. âI can only apologize to you then.â
He leaned towards Ming Shuâs ears and said, âIf you donât agree, I will lock you up for your whole life.â
Ming Shu punched him instantly. Si Chen fell back onto his office table. He was pressed against the table. âSi Chen, repeat what you said.â
Si Chen covered his eyes. He was a little drunk so he got even dizzier after he was hit. He didnât realize how awkward their position was.
He straightened his neck. âI said that if you donât agree, I will lock you up for the rest of your life!â
I will say it!
Whatâs wrong with that!?
