If You Don’t Go To Hell, Who Will? - Chapter 58
Since Zhong Yuan found out about his “engagement” with Shi Yunheng, which Shi Jing had told her about, he was convinced that Shi Jing had ulterior motives. He was quite annoyed because, first, you shouldn’t deceive a friend’s wife, and second, what Shi Jing was doing was unethical—it was unfair competition. Of course, the most important point was: why would someone like Su Yan or Zhang Xu even bother with his intentions, let alone a kid like Shi Jing who hadn’t even grown up yet?
I thought Zhong Yuan had gone crazy. He knew Shi Jing was just a kid who hadn’t grown up yet. What does such a small child understand about undermining someone’s relationship? Moreover, he was doing it with such a minimal level of skill. It’s not a bad thing for a child to rely on his teacher. Why did Zhong Yuan find it dirty?
So, I argued in defense of Shi Jing based on reason, but Zhong Yuan wouldn’t listen to a word of it. Finally, he waved his hand and said, “You don’t need to say anything. This is the least a man should have: perception. I know exactly what Shi Jing is thinking.”
I started sweating on my forehead, wanting to explain further, but Zhong Yuan suddenly sealed my mouth…Well, he used his mouth…
We lingered for a while, and then he held me tightly in his arms with a slightly anxious tone and said, “Blockhead, don’t continue tutoring Shi Jing.”
“But…” I still thought Zhong Yuan was being unreasonable. I was doing just fine, and nothing had happened.
Zhong Yuan gently rubbed my earlobe with his soft lips. “No ‘buts,’ Blockhead, even if it’s for me.”
“Well, I still think you’re overreacting.”
Zhong Yuan: “Hmm, I’m just being overreactive.”
Me: “…”
Some people’s trump card is being stubborn. Their favorite line is, “What can you do to me even if I do this or that?” Just like Zhong Yuan now, “I’m just being overreactive; I admit it; what can you do to me?”
Well, I admit it; the key issue here is that I really can’t do anything to him…
At this point, seeing that I wasn’t responding, Zhong Yuan said, “If you don’t agree, I’ll take your clothes off.”
Me: “…”
I was wrong, Zhong Yuan. Your trump card isn’t stubbornness; it’s being a hooligan… >_<
So, my well-paying tutoring job was scrapped due to Zhong Yuan’s coaxing, lying, and hooligan tactics. To be honest, I didn’t feel particularly attached to Shi Jing. After all, our relationship hadn’t deepened to the point of being life or death. But the reason for his departure left me speechless. I never expected that Zhong Yuan would actually feel jealous of a nine-year-old kid. With his level of jealousy, I guess I’ll have to consider gender when raising a cat in the future—no males.
Of course, considering that Zhong Yuan is someone who can be dictatorial yet considerate, he decided to compensate me for my loss of income. He went on and on about the compensation, and finally, he smiled seductively and asked if I wanted him as compensation…
While wiping my sweat away, I forced a smile and said, “Just the cash is fine…”
Today is Saturday. Zhong Yuan and I went to the countryside, a place with mountains and water, to spend the day. When we returned in the evening, I was very tired and didn’t want to move. Zhong Yuan was on the side, alternately massaging my shoulders and pulling my arms and legs forcefully to help stretch my muscles and relieve fatigue. I enjoyed his service comfortably, feeling that life was wonderful.
After a while, his phone rang. He picked up the phone and glanced at the screen, then chuckled softly and said, “It’s Passerby B.
I suddenly remembered that today was the first time Passerby B and Shi Yunheng had met. I wondered what kind of misunderstanding had occurred between them, so I excitedly said, “Answer it on speaker!”
Zhong Yuan complied.
As soon as Zhong Yuan answered the call, I heard Luren Yi yelling, “Zhong Yuan, you traitor! Scum! You said that you would introduce a Barbie doll to me? My petite frame can’t handle a beating from her, can it?!”
I found it somewhat unbelievable. Was Passerby B saying that Shi Yunheng had beaten him today? But that doesn’t make sense. It was their first meeting; which girl wouldn’t want to leave a good impression on someone? How could she so easily resort to violence? Even if Shi Yunheng suddenly had the urge to fight, she would surely suppress it and wait for another time, right?
At this point, Zhong Yuan also found it strange and asked, “Did she hit you?”
Passerby B’s voice was still filled with anger and grievance: “She didn’t just hit me; she beat me up mercilessly!”
Zhong Yuan: “…”
Later, when Zhong Yuan asked Passerby B why Shi Yunheng had beaten him, Passerby B didn’t say anything more. He just asked Zhong Yuan to convey to Shi Yunheng that he wanted to be friends with her.
Shi Yunheng is Zhong Yuan’s friend, so Passerby B didn’t want to say anything too harsh. However, it was evident that Shi Yunheng had left a significant impact on Passerby B.
Right after Zhong Yuan hung up on Passerby B’s call, Shi Yunheng called him. She got straight to the point, saying, “Kid, I really like that classmate of yours.”
Zhong Yuan, unfazed, asked, “And then?”
Shi Yunheng continued, “And then, I plan to marry him.”
Zhong Yuan: “…”
I was actually quite worried for Zhong Yuan. While he’s generally calm, he couldn’t help but be hit with one surprise after another.
Zhong Yuan said, “He asked me to tell you that he wants to be ordinary friends with you.”
Shi Yunheng said nonchalantly, “I know why. He told me today that he’s a star of ill fate, likely to bring misfortune to his wife. He’s probably afraid of burdening me.”
Zhong Yuan: “…”
Zhong Yuan spoke earnestly: “Are you so sure that he likes you and is willing to marry you?”
Shi Yunheng replied confidently, “No worries, I’ll make him fall for me.”
Zhong Yuan questioned, “On what basis? With your fists?”
Shi Yunheng coughed and stammered, “Uh… You know about today’s events?”
Zhong Yuan replied, “I don’t, but I’m very curious now.”
Shi Yunheng coughed again. “Well, the weather today is nice… Uh, my mom needs me for something, so I have to go. Bye!”
Zhong Yuan: “…”
I looked at Zhong Yuan uneasily and asked, “Zhong Yuan, if Passerby B finds out this was your scheme, will he beat you up?”
Zhong Yuan stared at his phone for a moment and then looked at me with determination, saying, “Blockhead, let’s run.”
Me: “…”
