Chapter 44: Chen Si, the Drama King Incarnate
Shen Bumian felt his legs go numb from standing. He reached his hand behind his back and forcefully poked Qin Luzhi’s lower back. Qin Luzhi stiffened for a moment.
“What’s wrong?”
Shen Bumian was a little embarrassed. “My leg is asleep. Are you better now?”
Qin Luzhi took a sharp breath, straightened up, and ended the hug. Before Shen Bumian could even let out a sigh of relief, he was scooped up by the waist by Qin Luzhi.
Shen Bumian let out a cry of surprise, his arms instantly wrapping tightly around Qin Luzhi’s neck.
Qin Luzhi gently placed him on the small two-seater sofa and knelt down, lightly holding his calf. “Sorry, my fault.”
Having his foot held and placed on Qin Luzhi’s knee, Shen Bumian felt awkward all over. Qin Luzhi was still massaging his calf. He tried to pull his leg back but was stopped by Qin Luzhi.
This series of unexpected actions made him blush. His ears and neck changed color. He turned his head away, not daring to look at Qin Luzhi. He couldn’t quite put his finger on it, but he just felt that Qin Luzhi was acting too strange today.
Qin Luzhi focused on massaging Shen Bumian’s leg but didn’t miss the sight of the thoroughly flushed Shen Bumian. He smiled quietly. Shen Bumian is so cute no matter what. Chen Hebin was right; omegas were indeed much cuter than Alphas.
“What do you want to eat tonight? I’ll go buy it.” Qin Luzhi nonchalantly changed the subject to distract Shen Bumian.
Only then did Shen Bumian realize the afternoon had already passed. He was a little hungry. After thinking for a moment, he listed a few dishes for Qin Luzhi, who nodded and took note.
Before long, Shen Bumian’s leg was no longer numb, just a little tingly. He told Qin Luzhi in a low voice that he was fine now. Qin Luzhi then let go, stood up, and told Shen Bumian to wait there before going out to buy dinner.
…
Chen Si repeatedly looked at Shen Bumian’s message and then at Zhou Yizhou in disbelief. “No, I mean, did Mianmian just abandon us like that? He went straight back to school?”
Zhou Yizhou rolled his eyes. “Not us, you. You were embarrassing yourself, and Mianmian couldn’t stand to watch anymore!”
Chen Hebin looked confused, not understanding what they were talking about. Mu Yi scanned the restaurant and asked, “The boss and sister-in-law went back?”
Zhou Yizhou nodded. “Mianmian told us they had something to take care of and left first.”
Chen Hebin picked up his terminal to check. “Why didn’t the boss tell us? What’s going on with sister-in-law?”
Chen Si was thoroughly displeased. “Don’t call Mianmian ‘sister-in-law’! Did Mianmian even acknowledge it for you to call him that?”
He Jing slammed the table. “Oh yeah? Well, sister-in-law tacitly approved it, so what are you gonna do about it!” Piss you off, piss you off!
Seeing this, Chen Si also slammed the table. “You shut the hell up. Are you looking for a fight?!”
He Jing rolled up his sleeves, completely unafraid. “A fight it is! Let’s go outside and fight right now!”
Zhou Yizhou was utterly speechless. With Mianmian gone, he had to manage this idiot himself. He kicked Chen Si. “Will you ever stop? Sit the hell down and eat!”
Chen Hebin had never seen Zhou Yizhou this irritable before. He opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Zhou Yizhou glared at everyone. “Shut up!”
Chen Hebin’s ears turned red as he nodded and obediently and earnestly shoveled food into his mouth, occasionally looking up at Zhou Yizhou.
Chen Si stopped making trouble. This meal served as their dinner, and the latter half was relatively peaceful. No one spoke; everyone ate their own food. In the end, Chen Si still paid the bill.
As they were leaving, He Jing obnoxiously patted Chen Si’s shoulder. “Bro, you treated us to this meal, so I’ll give you props for that, but I still don’t like you.”
Chen Si’s face darkened, and he was about to kick him, but He Jing dodged in time. He left with a grim expression. Zhou Yizhou had originally planned to go back with Chen Hebin and the others.
But then Chen Si came back, grabbed Zhou Yizhou by the collar, and walked off, giving no one time to react.
“Dog Chen, are you insane?! Let me go!”
Chen Si sneered. “Hmph, you are just not allowed to walk with them. I’ll take you back!”
If he wasn’t happy, no one else was going to get their way either.
Chen Hebin subconsciously chased after them. “Hey! You let go of Zhouzhou!”
Mu Yi crossed his arms and watched the show under the streetlight. He Jing was dissatisfied and nudged him with his elbow. “Tsk, are you even his brother? Aren’t you going to help?”
Upon receiving your request, I will translate the provided Chinese text into English.
Mu Yi lifted his eyelids slightly and glanced at him, “Not brothers.”
He Jing rolled up his sleeves as if to punch him. “Oh, you’ve got some nerve, haven’t you? You’re getting a bit ahead of yourself lately, aren’t you? I’ll ask you one more time—are we brothers?! Are we?!”
Mu Yi sighed, smiled, and threw his hands up in surrender, “Yes, yes, we are. Is that good enough?” Mu Yi’s eyes curved into a crescent shape when he smiled, adding a hint of roguish charm that made He Jing stare blankly.
“Yes, we are, but… what are you smiling at?” And why is it kind of good-looking?
Unable to resist, Mu Yi ruffled his hair, cursed him as an “idiot,” and then strode toward Chen Hebin.
He Jing was stunned for a second before he reacted, “Ahhh! Mu Yi, you’re dead! I’m not done with you! Who said you could mess up my hair?!”
Chen Hebin held Zhou Yizhou’s hand, standing firm and looking Chen Si in the eye. “Zhouzhou doesn’t want to go back with you.”
Zhou Yizhou nodded in agreement. Chen Si scoffed, “Who are you to speak for him?” Chen Si raised an eyebrow as he looked at Chen Hebin.
Chen Hebin stammered, his face turning red, “I… I’m his friend…”
Chen Si laughed heartily to himself. Just this much courage? He’s even worse than that Qin Luzhi from this afternoon!
Seeing Chen Hebin’s distressed look, Zhou Yizhou nudged Chen Si. “You’re so annoying! What kind of nonsense are you saying? Just shut up!”
Chen Si was caught off guard by the elbow jab and winced in pain. Zhou Yizhou had learned some of his fighting skills from him, so he knew exactly where to hit to cause pain. He never expected to be on the receiving end!
He glared at Zhou Yizhou, his eyes seeming to say, You ungrateful traitor. Zhou Yizhou felt a little guilty under his gaze and quickly looked away, pretending to comfort Chen Hebin.
“Don’t listen to his nonsense. That’s just how he is.”
Chen Hebin’s face grew even redder as he watched Zhou Yizhou wink at him. He nodded dizzily, not hearing a word of what they were saying.
Zhou Yizhou looked at Chen Si, then at Chen Hebin, and decisively stood beside Chen Hebin, looking everywhere but at Chen Si. “Well, we’re not going the same way, so you can go back by yourself.”
Chen Hebin’s mind was a blur of overwhelming excitement as he looked at Zhou Yizhou standing next to him. His brain felt like it was about to explode.
Chen Si looked at the four people opposite him. “Fine. Great. Zhou Yizhou, don’t come crying to me if you get scammed!”
Chen Hebin immediately grew anxious and quickly explained, “No, no, I won’t trick Zhouzhou. I promise!”
The words had barely left his mouth when he saw Chen Si’s half-smiling, teasing eyes, and his drawn-out voice saying, “Ohhh, is that so?”
Chen Hebin’s face turned beet red again. Even He Jing couldn’t stand it. Is Chen Si just here to stir up trouble today? He had to admit, it was working—he was unintentionally helping to push other people’s relationships forward.
Chen Si turned away with a haughty air. “Hmph, I’m not getting involved with you guys anymore. This young master is leaving first.” His tone was so nonchalant and his departure so resolute that the other four were left momentarily speechless.
As soon as Chen Si walked into the shadows, his demeanor completely changed. His eyes drooped, and his smiling face gave way to a sharp, serious expression. He looked down and sent a message to Shen Bumian:
【The Great and Mighty: Mianmian, Zhou Yizhou and the others are bullying me~】
After sending it, he couldn’t help but let out a low chuckle. He put away his communicator, shoved his hands into his pockets. Sigh, it feels like I’ve become a lone wolf since I came back. What a pathetic Alpha, Chen Si sighed.
