CH 8

The place Sheng Zhuo was going to was not far from school, and soon he arrived.

Chi Jindong stopped the car, and Sheng Zhuo said goodbye to him respectfully, before getting out of the car, he suddenly turned to look at Chi Le.

Chi Le waved his hand blankly, “…goodbye?”

Sheng Zhuo pursed his lips, stretched out his hand to rub his hair, and lowered his voice, “Lele, I’m leaving.”

Chi Le’s cheeks burned, and a wave of heat rose from his heart, and his whole body was about to explode.

Sheng Zhuo called him by his nickname!

While rubbing his hair!

…

When Chi Le came back to his senses, Sheng Zhuo had already crossed the road and walked to the opposite side. Chi Le quickly pushed open the car door, “Dad, wait for me, my classmate left his things in the car, and I will send them to him.”

He made up a random reason and chased after before Chi Jindong could answer.

After all, Sheng Zhuo is his future wife, and he wants to better understand him, at least knowing where his wife lives.

Chi Jindong looked at his fidgety appearance and couldn’t help but laugh.

The sun was setting in the west and the sky was covered with haze.

Sheng Zhuo walked fast with long legs, and when Chi Le chased him, he could only see a corner of his clothes left, and almost lost him.

This is an old city, full of stairs and alleys, dark and dilapidated, with disorganized old buildings on both sides, many houses were already vacant, and the walls are covered with various small advertisements.

Looking at the dilapidated old buildings around, Chi Le remembered the old basketball that Sheng Zhuo was carrying all the way, and also thought of ‘Sheng Zhuo’s mother’, guessing that the environment of Sheng Zhuo’s home might not be very good.

No wonder Sheng Zhuo didn’t even want to eat the bear biscuits he gave Sheng Zhuo last time!

Chi Le wandered around, finally caught up with Sheng Zhuo, and found him feeding stray cats in the alley.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on Sheng Zhuo, coating his hair with golden light. He squatted in front of an orange cat and looked down at the orange cat with gentleness in his eyes.

The orange cat meowed twice, and his fingers gently scratched the orange cat’s chin. The orange cat narrowed its eyes and let out a comfortable purr in its throat, looking like it was enjoying itself.

Chi Le stared blankly at the person and cat in front of him, and a soft emotion welled up in his heart for no reason.

Sheng Zhuo didn’t stop there and continued walking after playing with the orange cat for a while, not noticing Chi Le standing at the entrance of the alley.

Chi Le subconsciously followed him for two steps, and when he saw Sheng Zhuo walking down the steps and Fang Younian walking from the opposite side, he stopped quickly.

Chi Le was afraid that Fang Younian would see him following Sheng Zhuo, so he stopped on the steps and did not go any further.

Chi Le didn’t know what Fang Younian said to Sheng Zhuo, Sheng Zhuo smiled, hooked Sheng Zhuo’s neck and walked forward, and soon walked around the corner, the two talked and laughed along the way, and disappeared from Chi Le’s sight.

Chi Le leaned on the railing and watched them walk away, pursing his lips in melancholy.

The future wife is hooking up with other men.

Alas……

Chi Le reached out and took off the green hat on his head, wanting to remind his father not to buy him a hat of this color in the future, after all, he has a wife now!

_

After a satisfying meal at night, Chi Le hid under the blanket and ate ice cream. He scooped a full scoop of ice cream and put it in his mouth. The ice was so startling, but his eyes curled up into a happy smile.

Although it is winter now, the house is warm. He likes to eat ice cream in the warm quilt in winter, but his father rarely allows him to do this, only when he is happy or wants to coax him will he give him a box to eat.

The family’s Samoyed ran in and wagged its tail. Chi Le sat up and rubbed the fluffy dog’s head. The soft touch on his hands reminded him of Sheng Zhuo’s way of rubbing his hair today, and the low and hoarse “Lele” when he left, Sheng Zhuo’s voice was lingering in his ears, and he unconsciously shook his head.

After a while, Chi Le stroked the ends of his hair irritably.

Really, calling a nickname is calling a nickname! Why are you calling it so sexy!?

The phone rang twice, it was someone in the class group chat talking.

Chi Le picked up the phone, scrolled the screen carelessly, and found that Sheng Zhuo seldom talked in the group, he suddenly remembered that he and Sheng Zhuo were not friends yet, so he clicked to add friends.

He originally thought that it would take a while for Sheng Zhuo to see it, but he didn’t expect Sheng Zhuo to accept it so soon, and he was stunned for a moment.

Chi Le looked at Sheng Zhuo who was lying on his friend list curiously. Sheng Zhuo’s screen name was very simple, just the word ‘Sheng Zhuo’, and his profile picture was a cup of oolong tea.

He giggled, feeling that Sheng Zhuo looked like an old cadre1A cadre refers to individuals who hold leadership or influential positions within a specific organization.

Chi Le stared at Sheng Zhuo’s name for a while, hesitating whether he should take the initiative to say hello, tangled for a moment, and finally chose to send a red envelope.

After all, Sheng Zhuo is now a poor little bear biscuit in his heart, so he naturally can’t bear to see his poor little wife suffer.

After playing basketball, Sheng Zhuo sat on a chair to wipe his sweat, and saw Chi Le’s profile picture lit up, and he clicked on it, and Chi Le’s profile picture was a Samoyed with a smirk, it was snow-white, with round eyes. Black and bright, with an inexplicably similar expression to Chi Le.

Sheng Zhuo stared at his profile picture for a while, then opened the dialog box, and saw a red envelope sent by Chi Le.

Sheng Zhuo: ?

Young Master Chi: Congratulations on becoming friends.

Sheng Zhuo: …

Chi Le sent another red envelope in a blink of an eye.

Sheng Zhuo: ?

Young Master Chi: Celebrate our first chat.

Before Sheng Zhuo could respond, Chi Le sent another red envelope.

Young Master Chi: Celebrate me being happy.

Sheng Zhuo: …you really have a lot to celebrate.

Chi Xiaoye: We nouveau riche like to celebrate.

Chi Le typed in his hand, and hummed softly, thinking it was mainly because we nouveau riche all know how to love our wives.

Sheng Zhuo stared at the words on the screen of the phone and laughed dumbly.

Fang Younian came over and saw Sheng Zhuo staring at the phone and smiling because it was really rare, he took off his wristband and asked casually, “Who are you chatting with?”

“Chi Le.”

Fang Younian paused when he took off his uniform, “Are you so familiar?”

Sheng Zhuo let out a casual ‘hmm’.

Seeing that Sheng Zhuo didn’t accept the red envelope for a long time, Chi Le transferred the money directly, and there was an extra 200 yuan in Sheng Zhuo’s account in an instant.

Sheng Zhuo stared at the 200 yuan for a while, then smiled silently, thinking of Chi Le’s expression every time he gave him something, the image of Chi Le’s slightly raised chin automatically appeared in his mind, he must be holding the phone now, His brows and eyes are full of bright colors.

Sheng Zhuo thought of the soft touch when he rubbed Chi Le’s hair today and felt a little itchy for no reason. If Chi Le was in front of him now, he couldn’t help rubbing it hard.

Fang Younian noticed his expression, and always felt that it was indescribably weird, “Oh no… what is the relationship between you two now?”

Sheng Zhuo looked at the series of red envelopes on the phone, and gently scratched his forehead with his fingers, “It seems to be related to money.”

Fang Younian: “…”

_

In the morning, Sheng Zhuo was sitting in the classroom and received another red envelope.

He looked up, and Chi Le walked in from the door, lowering his head and tapping his phone.

Soon the phone vibrated again, and Sheng Zhuo took it out.

Young Master Chi: Congratulations for not being late this morning.

Chi Le walked to the seat, humming a song in a good mood.

Sheng Zhuo tapped his phone on the table, looked up at him, and tapped the table lightly, “What do you mean?”

Chi Le paused, put a carton of milk on his desk, and smiled youthfully, “Today is also a day for Young Master Chi to love his classmates.”

Sheng Zhuo looked at the milk on the table and said with a half-smile: “Those who don’t know think you are going to take care of me.”

In the past two days, Chi Le gave away food and gave out red envelopes, saying that he is friendly to classmates, but only is friendly to him alone, which is not right.

Chi Le was taken aback, “Can I take care of you?”

He looked at Sheng Zhuo with bright eyes, and if Sheng Zhuo said yes, he would immediately dump money in front of Sheng Zhuo.

“…” Sheng Zhuo laughed angrily, “What do you want to do after you take care of me?”

Chi Le’s cheeks flushed, and he felt that his little wife’s thoughts were not pure at all, “Of course, you are provided with food, clothing, and milk every day, otherwise, what else can be done?”

Sheng Zhuo looked at his flushed cheeks and rubbed the center of his eyebrows with a headache, wanting to know what was going on in his mind.

Chi Le thought about it seriously, “But I have limited pocket money now, I’m afraid I can’t give you whatever you want, but when I grow up, I will work hard to earn money to give you a better life.”

Although a relationship that starts with financial support is not the healthiest, if it can provide a better life for the young wife in advance, it’s not entirely impossible.

Sheng Zhuo slightly narrowed his eyes, “Are you serious?”

Chi Le met his eyes, and immediately faltered, shaking his head without thinking, “I’m just kidding.”

Sheng Zhuo smirked, curling up one side of his lips. “You have quite wild thoughts.”

Chi Le took advantage of the situation and climbed higher. “Of course, I’m the king of the wild area.”

Sheng Zhuo looked at the raised hair on the top of the ‘King of the Wild Area’, resisted the urge to reach out and press it down, curled the corner of his mouth, and said thank you for the milk.

Chi Le showed a bright smile, sat back in his seat, and obediently drank his share of milk.

After a long while, he couldn’t help but smile a little.

Hey, his future wife looks pretty when he smiles.

Class 2 and Class 3 usually have physical education classes together and it’s the same today. Near the end of the period, the physical education teacher took everyone to exercise for half a class and then dismissed them to do free activities.

Chi Le has not given up on his tanning plan and continued to find a place to bask in the sun. Jian Cheng was too lazy to be in the sun with him and chatted with him under the shade of a tree next to him, while Sheng Zhuo was dragged by Fang Younian to play basketball again.

It was sunny today, and there were quite a few people on the basketball court. The boys from the two classes played a simple game, and after the game, it was time for school to be over.

Physical education class is the last class, and students can go home directly after class, so everyone brought out their school bags.

Sheng Zhuo went to the stone bench and sat down, took out the milk in the bag, inserted the straw, and put a lollipop into his mouth.

Fang Younian twisted the soda bottle and saw the milk in Sheng Zhuo’s hand, with a look of incredulity, “No way? Are you drinking milk after playing basketball?”

How come he didn’t know when brother Zhuo had been so healthy?

The corners of Sheng Zhuo’s lips rose, and he gently shook the milk in his hand, “Chi Le bought it for me.”

Fang Younian: “?” Why did he hear Sheng Zhou’s tone like he was showing off?

Sheng Zhuo had a lollipop in his mouth, and the corners of his mouth curled up a little bit, “Look, Chi Le also bought the lollipop for me.”

Fang Younian: “…” He was sure that Sheng Zhuo was indeed showing off!

Chen Yunzhou walked over patting the basketball, heard their conversation, laughed and teased, “Xiao Nian, are you envious again?”

“You’re envious!” Fang Younian angrily threw the soda in his hand to him, shaking it deliberately before throwing it.

Chen Yunzhou took the soda full of bubbles, cursed angrily, and started fighting with him.

Sitting across from the basketball court, Chi Le saw from a distance that everyone else had soda in their hands, only Sheng Zhuo didn’t. He couldn’t help but feel sorry for his little wife again, his fingers were about to move, and he sent another red envelope over.

He thought about it and felt that Sheng Zhuo would be hungry if he exhausted himself after playing basketball, and drinking soda alone would not work, so he sent another red envelope.

Hey! Young Master Chi is worthy of being the most powerful Alpha in the future, so considerate!

The mobile phone in the bag vibrated, Sheng Zhuo took it out and opened the message, Fang Younian and Chen Yunzhou came to his side, looked down, and saw that it was ‘Young Master Chi’ who sent a red envelope, and they immediately showed a constipated expression.

Sheng Zhuo raised his head and glanced at him indifferently and clicked to accept it.

“Eh? You really took it!” Fang Younian’s voice was excited, wishing he could grab the phone and keep the money.

The phone vibrated, and another red envelope was sent.

Sheng Zhuo happily opened one red envelope after another, without raising his head, he said, “You don’t understand the joy of being taken care of by others.”

“…” Fang Younian’s voice choked, and he looked at Chen Yunzhou next to him in disbelief, “Am I crazy or is he crazy? Am I deaf, or is the Sheng Group going bankrupt?”

Sheng Zhuo is not crazy, he just thinks that Chi Le’s appearance is very interesting every time he gives him something, and he wants to watch it a few more times, especially his slightly blushing appearance, and also wants to know what Chi Le was trying to do by suddenly changing his attitude towards him.

Chen Yunzhou has long been accustomed to this, shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and joked: “My mother usually gives my dad pocket money like this.”

Fang Younian: “…” Say it again?!

As soon as the school bell rang, the students on the playground flocked out.

Sheng Zhuo threw his school bag on his shoulder and waved his hands without looking back. Chen Yunzhou hurriedly picked up the clothes and school bag on the stone bench and chased after him and walked out of the school with him.

Fang Younian wanted to stay and go to the basketball team for training, so he didn’t go back with them but headed towards the stadium with his clothes on.

Chi Le was also walking towards the school gate with the flow of people, but he was walking very slowly. He just found out that Sheng Zhuo had accepted his red envelope for the first time, and he was a little overjoyed. He felt that the relationship between him and Sheng Zhuo had ‘taken a step further’. Of course, he was typing with his head down, wanting to say something.

Fang Younian lowered his head to drink the soda, while thinking about what happened just now, he didn’t notice Chi Le who was approaching him.

The two bumped into each other unexpectedly, the soda bottle tilted, Fang Younian almost choked, and the soda spilled all over his body.

The weather is cold now, and the clothes are drenched and stuck to his body. Fang Younian shivered from the cold, and he suddenly became furious.

“Chi Le, are you walking without eyes on your feet?”

Chi Le glanced at the soaked clothes on his body. He felt a little guilty at first, but he became angry when he yelled at him, and retorted unhurriedly, “Do you have eyes but don’t know how to dodge? It’s not certain who would end up crashing into whom.”

The surrounding students all looked over, there were seniors in senior year, and juniors in the first year, everyone couldn’t help laughing when they saw Fang Younian’s disheveled appearance.

Fang Younian looked embarrassed. Hearing the laughter around him, he felt that everyone’s eyes were on him like needles, and he became more and more frustrated. He originally thought that Chi Le was a young master who bullied others because of his family’s wealth. Now that the bullying came to him, how could he bear it?

“Chi Le, I’m not Zhuang Xinchun, don’t think you can bully me like you bullied him.”

When Chi Le heard Zhuang Xinchun’s name, his brows frowned, his expression faded a bit, and his voice became mocking, “Oh, really don’t have eyes. No wonder you don’t know where to look when you walk.”

Fang Younian was so angry that he couldn’t speak, he glared at Chi Le angrily, and even the pheromones on his body overflowed, “Who are you saying have no eyes!”

Jian Cheng ran over immediately when he heard the sound, smelled the pine and snow smell from Fang Younian’s body, and immediately protected Chi Le behind him like a calf.

“Fang Younian, are you deliberately using pheromones to suppress Lele because you are an Alpha? You know that Lele is Bata, so what’s the difference between you and a villain?”

Fang Younian was so angry just now, he didn’t notice the pheromones in his body leaked out at all, he was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and although he was still angry in his heart, he immediately took the pheromones back.

He is unwilling to win unfairly. If he wants to defeat Chi Le, even without relying on pheromones, he can definitely do it!

Chi Le is a Beta, in fact, he can’t smell the pheromones on Fang Younian’s body at all. The weak pheromones released by Fang Younian will not affect him at all, but Jian Cheng is unreasonable when it comes to protecting the calf.

He rolled up his sleeves and said to Fang Younian, “Do you want to fight? I’m an Alpha, and I’ll fight with you!”

Fang Younian snorted coldly, “Just fight, who is afraid of whom?”

Chi Le held Jian Cheng, not wanting to get entangled in this matter, and asked Fang Younian directly, “What do you want to do?”

The lingering anger of Fang Younian still persisted, “You made my clothes look like this, what do you think?”

Jian Cheng retorted: “You two bumped into each other head-on, it’s impossible to tell who hit the other.”

The two of them immediately fell into a fight, they were like two firecrackers, every time they met, they would clash and ignite instantly.

Chi Le got a headache when he heard that, looked at the clothes on Fang Younian, and felt that it was really horrible, “If you need me to pay, just tell me the price, but you and I are both responsible, I only pay half of the dry-cleaning fee. ”

Fang Younian didn’t expect him to be so nice, a bit different from the arrogant and domineering person he imagined, he was slightly taken aback, but he didn’t take it seriously, he just thought that he was deliberately pretending to be a good person in front of his classmates, he thought of the things Zhuang Xinchun said before, his expression turned cold, thinking of Chi Le’s abnormal behavior of getting close to Sheng Zhuo on purpose recently, he suspected that he had some bad idea, just wanted to frustrate him.

He stared at Chi Le for a while, turned the basketball in his hand, and had an idea in his mind.

“Compete basketball with me if you are capable. If you can beat me, I will acknowledge and accept it, and won’t bother about the matter of this clothing. But if you lose, you’ll have to wash the clothing by hand in front of our classmates at school.”

“Okay.” Chi Le agreed without thinking, raised his chin, and said, “But if you lose, you have to call me grandpa.”

“Who is afraid of whom?”

Jian Cheng poked Chi Le from behind, “Are you crazy? He’s on the basketball team. You haven’t even touched a basketball. How can you compare with him?”

Chi Le was in poor health when he was a child, and Chi Jindong never let him do strenuous exercise, including playing basketball.

Fang Younian was amused when he heard it, but before he could laugh out loud, Jian Cheng beat him back.

“This game is not fair, even if you win, you will be ashamed!”

Fang Younian also realized that he didn’t know whether Chi Le had never played basketball before. Since Chi Le doesn’t know how to play, even if he were to win, it wouldn’t be honorable. Fang Younian is not willing to stoop to that level.

He thought for a while and said, “I’ll give you a month to practice, and we’ll compete after you learn it.”

“Okay.” Chi Le felt that he hadn’t just seen a pig run after never eating pork before2according to sources basically means surprised or felt amazed that something ordinary had an unexpected, impressive outcome. It was just shooting a basketball, and he had watched Sheng Zhuo shoot countless times. Although Fang Younian was part of the basketball team, based on Chi Le’s observation, Fang Younian’s shooting skills were not as good as Sheng Zhuo’s. Chi Le speculated that Fang Younian’s technique must not be great, and he didn’t see it as a big problem. After all, there was still half a month left until the winter break, and he would have plenty of time to practice then.

Although Jian Cheng was still a little worried, seeing Chi Le’s confident expression, he had no objection.
