Chapter 276: Chapter 276: 276: Don't Leave After School (37)

“You two, out here, just can’t keep your hands off each other, huh?”

A sarcastic voice sliced through the silent Night Color.

Yu Yue, with a few others, appeared in the distance.

Chuzheng’s expression remained calm as she released Jih Cheng and turned to face Yu Yue.

“Xu Chuzheng,” Yu Yue stood under the streetlight, his face slightly ferocious, “You’ve got some nerve messing with me.”

I’m not messing with you.

You can’t just say anything because you’re good-looking.

Yu Yue sneered, “Xu Chuzheng, today I’ll let you see what happens when you offend me.”

Chuzheng: “…”

What happens?

Yu Yue signaled to the people behind her with her eyes.

Those people looked like street thugs, swaggering toward Chuzheng and Jih Cheng, surrounding them.

“Baby,” Jih Cheng pulled her, “I…”

“Stay still.” Chuzheng pushed him aside.

Jih Cheng: “…”

No, I can help!

Clearly, Chuzheng didn’t need his help.

These people only had some superficial skills. They looked intimidating, but their actual strength was just so-so.

People confidently rushed in, one after another falling to the ground.

Yu Yue hadn’t expected Chuzheng to be so formidable; these useless thugs, boasting about how tough they were, turned out to be nothing.

Seeing that things were going south, Yu Yue turned and ran.

–

“Why run? Didn’t you want to make things difficult for me?”

Yu Yue was thrown to the ground by Chuzheng, joining the group of people.

The girl with a cold look on her face stood in front of them, her eyes devoid of any emotion, yet she inexplicably made one feel a chilling intimidation.

Where she stood was like an insurmountable mountain.

“Xu Chuzheng,” Yu Yue gritted his teeth with hate, “whatever you dare to do to me, I won’t let you off.”

“Oh.”

Chuzheng bent down, “Shouldn’t you be thinking about how to get away from me right now?”

“Ha, what can you do to me? You wouldn’t dare kill me, would you?” Yu Yue was confident, sure that Chuzheng wouldn’t dare commit murder.

“I can fulfill that request for you.”

Yu Yue’s complexion changed slightly, but he still tried to appear composed, “Xu Chuzheng, stop bluffing with words…”

Suddenly, Chuzheng drew a knife, and Yu Yue stopped speaking abruptly.

Jih Cheng subconsciously reached into his pocket.

When had she taken it?

Jih Cheng stepped forward to stop her when Chuzheng approached Yu Yue: “Baby.”

Chuzheng looked at him.

Jih Cheng pulled her back, “There’s no need to compromise your future for her.”

At this moment, Jih Cheng was very clear-headed, murder is against the law!

“She asked for it herself.” Chuzheng said with a serious face, why can’t I fulfill her request? I’d be happy to get rid of her!

“Baby, I don’t want you to kill someone,” Jih Cheng urged her, “Just teach her a lesson, okay? Don’t get physical, okay?”

Chuzheng was unmoved.

She asked for it herself!

This isn’t what I want to do!

Why can’t I get rid of her!

Jih Cheng had no choice but to say, “Baby, if you get caught, I’ll belong to someone else.”

Chuzheng: “…” I won’t get caught! Just get rid of her!

Thinking Chuzheng had listened, Jih Cheng hurriedly took back the knife.

He was holding the blade, and though Chuzheng didn’t want to let go, the blade was already against Jih Cheng’s palm. Any more force would have cut him, so she had no choice but to release her hold.

The Good Person Card can’t get hurt!

Good Person Card, Good Person Card…

Chuzheng muttered Good Person Card to herself several times, still wanting to get rid of the damn dog that interrupted her moment with the Good Person Card!

Jih Cheng put away the knife, determined never to carry one again in the future.

He used to carry it for a sense of security.

But now…

There was no need.

–

Jih Cheng pulled Chuzheng away, and since Chuzheng was in a bad mood, Jih Cheng had an unlucky night.

Being passionately kissed by Chuzheng felt like burning flames, yet he couldn’t find any relief, and ended up having to endure it himself.

Chuzheng asked Dog Brother to take care of Yu Yue, to let her experience what it’s like to be bullied.

Dog Brother was very agreeable to the plan.

No matter what, Yu Yue was just a student, and her circle of acquaintances couldn’t compete with Dog Brother, who always mingled in society.

Every day, Yu Yue was looked after to the point of near death and had no time to trouble Chuzheng.

Chuzheng later heard that Yu Yue got into drugs, and would do anything for money.

The final year of high school passed in a flash.

Zhu Zian studied day and night for Yao Fei, burning the midnight oil and pushing himself to the limit, and his resulting academic performance improved remarkably.

Although his grades still fell short of Yao Fei’s, in the end, they both were admitted to the same university.

— Yao Fei had intentionally lowered her score.

Zhu Zian felt somewhat guilty, so he took Yao Fei straight to his home, resolutely declaring that he would marry her someday.

This shocked everyone in the Zhu Family, and they gave Zhu Zian a beating.

Instead of being a proper rascal, he went off to cause trouble for that girl.

In the end, however, they could only instruct Zhu Zian to treat the girl well, acknowledging her sacrifices. They warned that if he ever dared to mess around, the Zhu Family would be the first to disown him.

In school, Jih Cheng was always seen as an underachiever with poor grades.

When the results were announced, Jih Cheng suddenly leaped to the forefront, gaining admission to the same prestigious university as Chuzheng, leaving many people’s jaws dropped.

The hidden top student had been right beside them all along.

Chuzheng bought an apartment near the university.

Chuzheng originally wanted to buy the biggest one, but was stopped by Jih Cheng, so she settled for the next best thing and bought the entire apartment building instead.

Jih Cheng: “…” It would have been better to let her buy the biggest apartment.

Ding-dong–

Jih Cheng glanced at Chuzheng, who was lying on the sofa with no intention of moving, covered her with a blanket, and then got up to answer the door.

The person outside the door surprised Jih Cheng.

“Second Young Master.”

Jih Cheng frowned, folks from the Jih Family never called him that.

“Don’t call me that, what do you want?”

“Second Young Master, it’s like this…”

Father Jih was seriously ill, and Jih Bo was still locked up; now, the only person who could take over the Jih Family was Jih Cheng.

With no other choice, Father Jih had to send someone to call him back.

Jih Cheng closed the door.

He walked back to the sofa, sitting beside Chuzheng.

Chuzheng pulled down the book covering her face: “Who was it?”

“Someone from the Jih Family,” said Jih Cheng. “Asking me to return to the Jih Family.”

Chuzheng abruptly sat up, gripping his chin fiercely, “You’re not allowed.”

The Good Person Card is mine!

What is the Jih Family thinking!

How dare they try to take someone from me!

Jih Cheng couldn’t help but laugh: “I didn’t agree, so don’t get angry.” He certainly didn’t want to be locked up again.

Chuzheng, satisfied, let go of him and lay back down.

Jih Cheng bent down to kiss her, and Chuzheng lazily responded, prompting Jih Cheng to become even more emboldened.

His palm glided over Chuzheng’s waist, and when he felt the scars there, he hesitated for a moment before lifting up Chuzheng’s shirt hem.

“Does it still hurt?”

“It’s been so long, how could it still hurt? Have some common sense.” Are you stupid, Good Person Card?

Jih Cheng remained silent, the thought of that incident causing his heart to ache.

The scar wasn’t large and was nearly imperceptible.

Jih Cheng’s warm lips touched the scar, moist and burning hot.

Chuzheng became a bit uncomfortable from his touch, feeling both itchy and numb.

It was summer, and they were both lightly dressed. As their bodies touched, the heat quickly passed between them.
