Chapter 132 Strive

Without any explanation or clarification, Jian Chi felt that the silence at the moment was more suffocating than any words.

Shao Hang came over and stood in front of Ji Huaisi, “Do you want me to help you get out?”

Ji Huaisi’s eyes did not fall on Shao Hang for a moment. Jian Chi had a feeling that he couldn’t hide anything from Ji Huaisi, even when he was wearing clothes, he could see it all at a glance.

Jian Chi wanted to glance away, but he knew that as long as he did so, he would have acquiesced to everything, so Jian Chi could only hold on and look at Ji Huaisi, only his thunderous heartbeat could be heard in his ears.

He didn’t know if Ji Huaisi had heard it.

“How many times do you want me to repeat it?” Shao Hang’s impatient voice was sinister, “Ji Huaisi, get out of here.”

“Did he force you?” Ji Huaisi said.

This sentence was obviously asking Jian Chi, as bland as an ordinary inquiry. Jian Chi didn’t know how to explain the complicated things last night. There seemed to be countless chaotic threads in front of him, he didn’t know which one to grasp to untie the knot. In the end, he answered Ji Huaisi: “No.”

These two words became the final sentence for Ji Huaisi. He raised the corner of his lips, obviously smiling but not smiling, as light as the wind that blew.

“It turned out that I disturbed you.”

Shao Hang did not forget to sneer: “Have you discovered it finally?”

These verbal attacks never did any harm to Ji Huaisi, he either laughed it off or turned a deaf ear to it, but this time it became an exception. Jian Chi didn’t see clearly how Ji Huaisi grabbed the collar of the bathrobe, and how he shot out at Shao Hang in the face. When he reacted, they were already both fighting.

For a few seconds, Jian Chi thought he had a hallucination. He never thought that Ji Huaisi would take the initiative to provoke disputes, and he never thought that Ji Huaisi, who was always at a disadvantage when facing Shao Hang, was not at a disadvantage. The bathrobe greatly hindered Shao Hang’s performance. Ji Huaisi was not soft at all. Every punch hit Shao Hang’s face and lower abdomen, hitting the most vulnerable part of the human body.

With his arm blocking Ji Huaisi’s punch, Shao Hang hooked his lips and smiled, “Finally you don’t have to pretend?”

Ji Huaisi replied, “I wanted to do this for a long time.”

“What a coincidence, so did I.”

As if reaching some kind of absurd consensus, Jian Chi didn’t know how to step forward to persuade him.

He tried to pull away Ji Huaisi to stop this farce, but Ji Huaisi didn’t give him this chance. The two people who were incompatible with each other finally had the same thought at this moment- finish the fight. Jian Chi even felt that both Ji Huaisi and Shao Hang were in a completely rational state, and neither of them was so angry that they were crazy. This battle was a complete vent out for them.

In the confusion, Jian Chi’s wrist was grabbed and pulled towards the door, the movement behind him gradually moved away, and he went down the stairs to the first floor. Wen Chuan’s back filled Jian Chi’s eyes instead of Shao Hang and Ji Huaisi. He finally found his voice: “Why are you here…”

“I’ll take you away.”

Wen Chuan’s familiar and cold voice brought Jian Chi an indescribable peace. He was really tired. In addition to his body, his mind. If possible, he hoped to go back to the bedroom and sleep again, away from the farce of last night and just now, without having to explain it to anyone or remember anything.

In the empty villa, except for the entertainment equipment, there was no more noise from last night. Jian Chi walked out of the door and was stunned when he stopped at the motorcycle in front of him. “Is this yours?”

“Zhang Yang lent it to me.”

Wen Chuan straddled the front seat of the motorcycle and his long legs stepped on the ground, bringing out a heroic spirit with ease. He handed the helmet to Jian Chi, “Come up.”

Jian Chi put on the helmet, sat on the back seat of the motorcycle, and the huge engine sounded. The car flew forward like an arrow on the spot. Jian Chi subconsciously hugged Wen Chuan’s waist, and did not dare to let go. When he realized that the posture was too intimate and wanted to let go, Wen Chuan’s deep voice sounded through the helmet.

“Hold tight.”

Jian Chi didn’t move.

He wanted to ask Wen Chuan why he came, but it was obviously nonsense. The party last night was suddenly called off. Zhang Yang and Wen Chuan must have discovered his disappearance at that time. Maybe it was blocked by Shao Hang, or other factors, but since Wen Chuan couldn’t find him yesterday, it was not until this morning that he returned to the villa like Ji Huaisi.

From seeing him until now, Wen Chuan didn’t ask anything about what happened. Jian Chi didn’t know that Wen Chuan had already guessed it, and that he didn’t want to put too much pressure on him. The howling wind blew through the helmet, like a soft blade slapping in the ear. He said with difficulty, “Us leaving like this, is that all right?”

Wen Chuan could hear that he was worried about the two people in the villa, and raised his volume to make sure it would not be carried away by the other sounds. He said in a low and reliable voice, “No one will die.”

Jian Chi, who was originally just a little worried, became even more worried.

“Did you run into Ji Huaisi when you came?”

“En.”

“They…”

“Jian Chi, you don’t need to worry,” Wen Chuan interrupted him, his voice clouded by the wind., “No matter what they do, you just have to make a choice that is loyal to yourself. This is what you taught me.” 

His heart was thumping, and Jian Chi asked, “Have I said this before?”

“I don’t know,” Wen Chuan said, “but I think it makes sense.”

Jian Chi couldn’t help but smile.

“Do you feel better?”

“Better,” Jian Chi then realized that Wen Chuan was trying to get rid of his depressed mood, and in fact he succeeded, “Thank you.”

“If you want to thank me, rest well.”

Wen Chuan said in a low voice.

“No matter what happens, I’ll be here.” 

For a moment, Jian Chi felt that Wen Chuan seemed to know something, and the subtle restraint between words was as smooth as every strand of wind passing by.

After returning to school, Wen Chuan sent him back to the dormitory and did not go in. Before leaving, he placed a kiss on Jian Chi’s forehead, which was clean and soothing without any charming colors. Jian Chi didn’t dodge. It wasn’t until he fell asleep and woke up again that he noticed that the place where Wen Chuan’s lips touched still had a touch of tenderness.

Jian Chi heard a lot of news about He Tan.

“I’ve heard of his gossip before, but it’s too outrageous. I didn’t expect it to be true at all.”

When Zhang Yang got first-hand information, he couldn’t wait to share it with Jian Chi.

He still didn’t know what happened after the party broke up that night, in fact, no one knew. The next day, Jian Chi saw a lot of discussion posts on HS, and browsed around nervously, all of which were nonsense guesses. Later, Jian Chi’s explanation to Zhang Yang was that he slept there after being drunk. Zhang Yang was dubious, but he would definitely not have guessed the bizarre development later, not to mention Jian Chi was standing in front of him, so Zhang Yang, who was originally very thick, was very fast, and forgot about this brief moment of fishiness.

Hearing about He Tan, Jian Chi instinctively felt nauseated, but there was no strange expression on his face, “What’s wrong with him?”

“Look.”

Jian Chi glanced and looked away, seeing all the words about this person. The title of the post was simple and rude. It read, “The president with the shortest time in the history of Saintston, bullying and forcing himself on special admissions, taking illegal drugs, with pictures and evidence”. This made people want to go in and find out more.

Zhang Yang’s attention was all on the post, “Actually, I heard friends complain about this new president before, no, not right, it’s He Tan now. I heard that his private life was very chaotic before he came to Saintston, and he liked to use some under the table moves. At the time, I thought it was impossible. How can someone like him need to use those means? Some people were definitely eager to stick on to him. I didn’t expect… A lot of special enrollments below had come out and shown evidence. It’s disgusting. Perverted hobby, he obviously looks like a human but is a dog.”

The original Jian Chi thought the same as Zhang Yang, but unfortunately, there were many scumbags in the world who took pleasure in playing with the weak. It had nothing to do with whether he was handsome or not, it had nothing to do with whether he had a prominent background, it had nothing to do with the person who did these things, which was fundamentally rotten long ago.

Jian Chi didn’t know if Shao Hang intervened in this matter, but he thought maybe he did, otherwise, as a BC, He Tan, he wouldn’t have been subjected to such a ‘heavy punishment’, and those victims of special enrollment would have no chance to stand up at all. 

The reality was clear and sad. Since the first day here, Jian Chi had rejected the so-called brooch division from the bottom of his heart. At one point, he couldn’t tell why. It wasn’t until this time that it was the source of this exclusion – the school told everyone from the beginning, what kind of people can do whatever they want to escape punishment, and what kind of people even if they were maliciously hurt, can’t say a single ‘no’.

“Jian Chi, someone is looking for you.”

Two minutes before class, a classmate’s reminder interrupted Jian Chi’s thoughts. There was an RC standing at the back door. When Jian Chi approached, he remembered that the other party was a former member of the student council, called Zhao Zexi. This made Jian Chi feel a little bad. Seeing these people was like a disguised reminder of the surveillance Ji Huaisi had set up, and perhaps the RC in front of him was one of them.

“Is something wrong?”

Zhao Zexi didn’t show dissatisfaction because of Jian Chi’s indifference, and spoke straight to the point: “Do you have time in the afternoon?”

“No, I’m going to class soon.”

After Jian Chi finished speaking, he pursed his lips, “Why?”

“Ji Huaisi is sick.”
