CH 18

In the evening, the performance of Class A ended successfully, and the performances of other groups also emerged one after another. Everyone watched with gusto.

When they disbanded, it was only a little after eight o’clock. It was the first day of the winter camp, and with a group of young people living together, everyone was feeling a bit excited. After returning to the villa, no one wanted to go to bed so early.

Sheng Zhuo was dragged by Fang Younian and Chen Yunzhou to play cards next door. Chi Le went back to the room to take a shower first and then lay on the bed alone playing with his mobile phone. He always felt lazy these two days and didn’t like to move much, so he didn’t go out to join in the fun.

Laughter from outside occasionally drifted in, and Chi Le could hear the noisy cheers from next door as Fang Younian lost in the game. Chi Le played with his phone, chuckling along.

Jian Cheng knocked on the door and came in from outside, carrying a plate of fruits. He joked, “Fang Younian sure knows how to make a scene. Even though he’s the worst player, he’s the one who enjoys playing the most.”

“Have you gone over to see them?” Chi Le turned over, grabbed a grape from the fruit plate, and ate it.

“Mhm, I went over and took a look. There are regulations not to allow gambling. The assistant teacher has to watch and make sure they don’t play for money.”

“No, Sheng Zhuo knows it well; and he won’t indulge in Fang Younian’s craziness.”

“Yeah.” Jian Cheng nodded, and boasted: “Sheng Zhuo played well, he almost always won.”

Chi Le suddenly became interested and wanted to see what Sheng Zhuo was like playing cards. He stood up with a fruit plate, and eagerly said, “Come on, I’ll go and see too.”

Jian Cheng helplessly walked out with him. Right now, Chi Le was like a ‘Sheng Zhuo flower’, wherever Sheng Zhuo went, he would follow.

Sheng Zhuo was playing cards next door, the door was open, the lights were on inside, four people sat around the table, and Chi Le walked in with a fruit plate.

Among the four players playing cards, apart from Sheng Zhuo and Fang Younian, there were also Chen Yunzhou and another boy.

Seeing them walk in, everyone said hello.

Sheng Zhuo played a card, looked up, and asked, “Bored of staying in the room alone?”

Chi Le shook his head, “It’s alright, I come over to bring you some fruit.”

He put the fruit plate in Sheng Zhuo’s hand, and did not sit down in a hurry, but looked around the card table, looking curiously at the cards on the table.

He looked over one by one, and when he walked behind Fang Younian, Fang Younian immediately turned the cards in his hand upside down on the table, as if he was afraid that he would see them.

With hands behind his back, Chi Le clicked his tongue lightly: “Stingy.”

Fang Younian got used to being teased by him in the past two days, so he thickened his skin and only let out a cold snort.

Looking around, Chi Le felt that Sheng Zhuo’s relaxed look was very handsome when he was playing cards, with a sense of control and ease.

He moved the chair and sat next to Sheng Zhuo, “I’ll show you my skills.”

“Big words.” Fang Younian flung out a card aggressively, “Can you play? When Sheng Zhuo learned how to play cards, you were probably still fighting for toys in kindergarten.”

Chi Le was quite confident, “Although I don’t know how to play cards, I am very lucky and can bring good luck.”

“Heh…” Fang Younian snorted in disdain, about to say that Sheng Zhuo wouldn’t care, but his words were interrupted by Sheng Zhuo’s voice.

Without lifting his head, Sheng Zhuo looked at the cards in his hand and said to Chi Le, “Then you better sit closer.”

Complacently, Chi Le moved the chair under his buttocks to Sheng Zhuo’s side, leaning over to look at the cards.

Fang Younian: “…”

Sheng Zhuo glanced at him, and asked Chi Le, “Which card should I play?”

Chi Le didn’t understand at all, so he flicked the Ace of Hearts lightly based on his intuition, “I think this card is pretty good.”

“Okay.” Sheng Zhuo played this card obediently.

Fang Younian looked at the Ace of Hearts that was being fed over, laughed out loud, and immediately put out a card, “Brother Zhuo, don’t blame me if you lose too badly later.”

“I can’t lose.” Sheng Zhuo curled his lips carelessly, and smiled loosely, “Our Young Master Chi is bringing me good luck.”

Fang Younian was speechless when he saw the seriousness of what he said, his throat was dry with anger, when he saw the fruit beside Sheng Zhuo, he reached out to grab it.

Chi Le stared at his hands, raising his eyebrows, “These fruits were washed by Chengzi for me to eat, are you sure you want to eat them?”

Fang Younian glanced at Jian Cheng, retracted his hand without hesitation, and said angrily, “If you don’t eat it, who knows if it’s poisonous?”

Jian Cheng sneered: “Then you’d better not go back to sleep tonight, be careful that I will poison you to death while you are sleeping.”

“You dare.” Fang Younian retorted casually; his eyes still fixed on the card.

Although he took one card just now, he didn’t relax in the slightest, because within two cards, Sheng Zhuo had already gained the upper hand.

“Although I don’t know if these fruits are poisonous or not, they taste really good.” Chi Le smiled and peeled a grape for Sheng Zhuo, and fed it to Sheng Zhuo, “Come on, eat more, get enough energy to win against him.”

Hearing this, Sheng Zhuo threw away the last card in his hand and directly gave Fang Younian a fatal blow. After winning the round, Fang Younian wailed, and Chi Le’s eyes lit up with joy.

“Hey, that’s not right…” Fang Younian looked at the cards on the table and realized belatedly, “Sheng Zhuo obviously grew up with me as a buddy, why do you seem to be together now?”

“You’re just realizing that?” Chen Yunzhou patted his shoulder and shook his head lightly, “You have a big heart!”

Fang Younian: “…” Your mother, what’s going on?

Chi Le laughed sullenly: “We are all stingy as nouveau riche, and we also like to bully others, especially those who are angry like you.”

Smoke rose from Fang Younian’s head.

Sheng Zhuo watched the two of them back and forth, smiled slightly, and lowered his head to eat the grapes in Chi Le’s hand.

The warm lips touched Chi Le’s fingertips lightly, and Chi Le’s fingertips shrank subconsciously. The grape almost fell out of his hand. Fortunately, Sheng Zhuo hooked the grape into his mouth in time.

Sheng Zhuo raised his head, and gave Chi Le a serious look, “Why are you panicking?”

Chi Le curled up his fingers and cleared his throat: “I’m not panicking.”

He just took a shower, his hair was still wet, he was wearing a loose white sweater, his skin was moist, and his cheeks were smudged with healthy pink.

Sheng Zhuo’s eyes stayed on his face for two seconds, and he raised his hand to twirl his wet hair, “Go back and dry your hair.”

Chi Le shook his hair, deliberately threw water on him, and said jokingly, “It’s not cold.”

Sheng Zhuo wiped off the water from his face, “How can such a big man still learn how to splash like Gummy Bear.”

Fang Younian’s eyelids trembled: “What Gummy Bear?”

His intuition said that it was not a piece of candy.

Sheng Zhuo didn’t even bother to answer him. He took Chi Le’s hand and stood up, saying, “Let’s go back.”

“Hey, why don’t you want to play anymore?” Fang Younian saw them walking outside, and quickly said, “It’s only nine o’clock, what’s the hurry?”

Sheng Zhuo pushed the door and went out without looking back: “We’re going back to dry his hair, let Jian Cheng play for me.”

Fang Younian was still confused.

Chen Yunzhou patted him on the shoulder earnestly, “Xiao Fang, can you have some sharp eyesight?”

Fang Younian still didn’t understand.

Jian Cheng leaned on the table beside him and asked impatiently, “Are you still playing? If not, I’ll go back to sleep.”

“Play!” Fang Younian was immediately distracted, glared at him, reshuffled the cards, and put them on the table, “I must let you lose today.”

The corner of Jian Cheng’s mouth curled up in a touch of sarcasm, imitating Chen Yunzhou’s tone while touching the cards: “Xiao Fang, do you know what my uncle’s shop does?”

Fang Younian grabbed the cards irritably, “What does your uncle’s shop have to do with this?”

“He opened the chess and card shop.” Jian Cheng flicked the cards in his hand with a smile, “I can beat you even with my eyes closed.”

Fang Younian: “…” Why did one powerful one go, and another powerful one come?

Of course, Fang Younian refused to accept it, and vowed to win against Jian Cheng once, and finally dragged everyone to play for a whole night. As you can imagine, he didn’t win against Jian Cheng until the end.

Chi Le and Sheng Zhuo didn’t know anything about the situation of the poker game in the room next door. When they returned to the room, Chi Le was taken to the bathroom by Sheng Zhuo, who took a hair dryer to blow his hair.

Chi Le sat on the sink, and Sheng Zhuo stood in front of him, holding a hair dryer and constantly fiddled with his hair until it became fluffy.

Chi Le swung his legs lightly, Sheng Zhuo’s fingers passed through his hair from time to time, his warm fingertips pressed against his scalp, the wind from the hair dryer was warm, and even the surrounding air heated up.

In the end, Sheng Zhuo turned off the hair dryer, rubbed his head, looked at his fluffy hair, and couldn’t help laughing: “Why do you look more and more like Gummy Bear, huh? Are you Puppy Chi?”

Chi Le raised the corners of his lips, with a smile in his voice, “You helped me win against Fang Younian and blow my hair, so are you Puppy Chi’s owner?”

Sheng Zhuo looked at him for a while, then smiled and pulled him off the sink, “Go out, Puppy Chi, the master is going to take a bath now.”

Chi Le was locked outside the door and left after ‘barking’ at the door, which provoked a chuckle from inside.

Sheng Zhuo’s laughter was deep and sweet, with hoarse magnetism.

Chi Le rubbed his hot ears, lay down on the bed, listened to the sound of water coming from the bathroom, and unconsciously slid his fingers on the phone, a little absent-minded.

It was his wife who took a bath in there! A real future wife!

Thinking of staying together for the next half month, he became a little nervous after realizing it.

Does he snore when he falls asleep? Does he talk in his sleep?

Chi Le’s thoughts were racing, and he unconsciously remembered the scene of sleeping together in the dream. Before, he always felt embarrassed when thinking about it, but this time he couldn’t stop recalling it. Every detail came to mind, even Sheng Zhuo’s breath, he can recall the feeling on him.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a soft knock on the door, and Sheng Zhuo came out, his hair was already dried, and his body was surrounded with steam.

Chi Le was pulled out from his thoughts, hurriedly turned on the phone, lowered his head, and stared at the phone firmly, without even raising his head, with a look of concentration, only his peripheral vision kept moving with Sheng Zhuo.

Sheng Zhuo walked past his bed and reached for the mobile phone on the table next to him. The hem of his clothes was pulled up with his movements, revealing his tight waist and abdomen. One side of the black underwear was exposed, and the abdominal muscles and mermaid lines were faintly visible.

Chi Le licked his lips, threw himself into the bed, and kicked his legs vigorously.

…

This is too illegal!
