Chapter 111: Zhou Xiaojun: Zhang Xiaoli Won't Let Me Touch Her

Zhou Xiaojun was released five days early.

This was not because he had behaved well, but because after he was diagnosed with AIDS, he was allowed out early to seek treatment.

In any case, for something like soliciting, once the fine is paid, it is basically over; the maximum detention time is half a month, but it can be handled flexibly depending on the situation.

When Zhou Xiaojun came out and saw his whole family, including Zhang Xiaoli, there to pick him up, his eyes immediately turned red.

Although he had only stayed inside for a few days, the feeling of being locked up was truly unbearable.

Especially since he seemed to have had a fever these past few days; he was dizzy every day and had no appetite for food.

Now it was fine; he had finally been released.

"Xiaojun, Xiaojun! You've finally come out; you've suffered these past few days!"

"Little brother, you've lost weight!"

"It's good that you're out, it's good that you're out. Let's go, let's go home!"

Zhang Xiaoli watched as Zhou Xiaojun's parents and sister surrounded him, asking this and that, but she just stood to the side watching and did not step forward.

"Xiaoli, I really didn't expect you to come pick me up too." Zhou Xiaojun looked at Zhang Xiaoli standing next to the bright red sports car. After not seeing her for a few days, he felt she seemed to have become even more beautiful, and she looked radiant, as if she had been fully nourished, with a charming allure radiating from her entire being.

"Son, what are you saying? You two are about to get your marriage certificate; Xiaoli is your wife-to-be. With such a big event, how could she not come? Right, Xiaoli?" Zhou Xiaojun's mother, Xie Fenglan, said with a smile.

Zhang Xiaoli did not speak, only offering a polite smile, though the smile was somewhat forced.

Zhou Xiaojun looked at the beautiful and sexy Zhang Xiaoli, feeling a surge of heat in his heart, and stepped forward to hug her.

But Zhang Xiaoli dodged to the side, her expression somewhat unnatural as she said, "We're outside, what are you doing with so many people around!"

"Right, right, right, let's go home first; let's not stay in this dump." Hearing Zhang Xiaoli's words, Xie Fenglan hurriedly winked at her son.

Zhou Xiaojun looked at his mother winking and felt a bit confused, but he was not stupid; he immediately knew his mother must have something she wanted to say to him in private.

"Xiaojun, Uncle, Aunt, I have a guest tonight, so I won't go to your house for dinner; you all go ahead and eat." As Zhang Xiaoli said this, she pulled open the door of the 911, wanting to get in.

"Huh? Xiaoli, you aren't coming home with us?" Looking at such a beautiful fiancée, Zhou Xiaojun wished he could go up and kiss her right now. He had originally planned to go home for dinner and have some wine, then sleep with her as a matter of course to avoid any complications, but he hadn't expected Zhang Xiaoli to be leaving.

"It's fine, Xiaoli, go ahead and get busy if you have things to do." Xie Fenglan said while quietly tugging at her son's sleeve.

"Alright then, call me when you're done." Zhou Xiaojun looked at his fiancée's curvaceous figure wrapped in her uniform and said, unwilling to give up.

"Mm, okay, I'm leaving then." Zhang Xiaoli said, slipping into the bright red 911 sports car. The flashy supercar let out a low roar and drove away amidst the envious gazes of the crowd.

"Let's go, stop looking!" Seeing his son Zhou Xiaojun's gaze still fixedly chasing that sports car, Xie Fenglan felt a surge of anger at his pathetic display and gave her son a hard tug.

"This Xiaoli is really something. She finally got some money, and she spends so much on a car that is also low and small—all show and no substance. What couldn't she have done with that money?" Zhou Dakui, standing to the side, couldn't help but complain.

"Exactly, she didn't even consider my needs when buying the car. This car looks like a woman's car; I can't even drive it!" Zhou Xiaojun said, even more dissatisfied.

"Alright, son, stop thinking about that. She still has several million in her hands. Once you two are married, you can spend that money however you want. Come on, let's get in the car; Mom has something to tell you." Xie Fenglan pulled her son along, saying with a hint of heartache.

Her son still didn't know about his illness, and thinking of this, Xie Fenglan felt bitter inside. How could her fine son end up with such a thing?

Zhou Xiaojun got into the car, and all the way home, he felt the atmosphere in the car was somewhat stifling. He tried several times to ask what was going on, but whether it was his mother or his sister, they were both evasive.

When they finally arrived home, they ate first. Facing a table full of good food, Zhou Xiaojun wolfed it down, but looking at the others in the family, they seemed to have no appetite; they just watched him eat, and in those eyes, why was there such a look of sorrow?

After finishing, Zhou Xiaojun wiped his mouth and asked loudly, "Dad, Mom, Sis! What exactly is going on? Just tell me. I'm out now, isn't everything fine?"

"Xiaojun, Mom has something to tell you; you must hold on." As soon as Xie Fenglan opened her mouth, tears began to fall.

"Mom, Mom, no, what's wrong?" Seeing his mother's expression, Zhou Xiaojun also panicked.

"My son, why is your life so bitter!" Xie Fenglan slapped her thigh, sitting on the sofa crying and wailing.

Zhou Dakui did not speak, only sitting on the sofa smoking cigarette after cigarette.

Zhou Xiaojun watched, stunned, not understanding why his family had all become like this.

"Sis, tell me, what exactly is going on? Don't all be like this, you're scaring me!" Zhou Xiaojun said, trembling.

Zhou Yue looked at her younger brother's panicked appearance, her heart aching as if pierced by a knife.

She sighed, turned, and went into the room to retrieve the diagnostic report.

"Xiaojun, you need to be mentally prepared. The woman you had relations with has... has AIDS."

"What?" Hearing his sister Zhou Yue's words, Zhou Xiaojun felt a "buzz" in his brain, and he was completely stunned.

After a long while, having regained his senses, he asked tremblingly, "Sis, I heard that even if you do that, you don't necessarily catch this disease."

"Xiaojun, you have also been infected; this is the hospital's diagnostic report." Zhou Yue said, handing the report in her hand to Zhou Xiaojun.

Zhou Xiaojun's hands shook violently as he took the diagnostic report from his sister, as if he were receiving a death sentence.

When he saw the contents clearly, he could no longer hold back; his legs went weak, and he collapsed onto the floor.

"How could this be, how could this be, how could this be, ah ah ah!"

Zhou Xiaojun wailed loudly in a daze, and Xie Fenglan, listening from the side, cried even harder.

"Alright, stop crying, all of you! What's the use of crying! Zhou Xiaojun, you know regret and fear now, but what were you doing before? Why did you have to go to that kind of place when you were fine!" Looking at Zhou Xiaojun, who was slumped on the floor like a pile of mud, Zhou Yue said, feeling that he had failed to live up to her expectations.

"I... I was just curious for a moment; I didn't know that woman was sick!" Zhou Xiaojun defended himself.

"Don't you have a girlfriend? Zhang Xiaoli is so pretty; you don't touch her, but you insist on touching women from that kind of place. What were you thinking!" Zhou Yue said angrily.

"I wanted to touch her too, but she wouldn't let me! She said she wouldn't let me touch her until after we were married. What could I do!" Zhou Xiaojun shouted loudly, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"What did you say? You still haven't touched Zhang Xiaoli?"

"Xiaojun, is what you said true?"

Hearing Zhou Xiaojun's words, the whole family was stunned.
