Chapter 1222: Millennium Love Story 27

When Jin Chen pressed him down on the bed, Chen Zhu was genuinely dazed for several seconds, not yet reacting to the confession just made, and also surprised by Jin Chen's state.

"You..."

Chen Zhu was forced to meet Jin Chen's gaze, his breathing becoming much shallower from shock, "You didn't take sleeping pills, did you…"

Even if he tied the rope too loosely, Jin Chen is now overly energetic.

Chen Zhu wondered if the sleeping pills had no effect, and in an instant his attention was wholly drawn to Jin Chen's teasing rubbing against his chest muscles.

The intense contact made Chen Zhu want to break free, but his arms bound behind him couldn't exert force, so instead he arched his waist and moved closer.

"The sleeping pills didn't work, brother."

Jin Chen's voice was hoarse, his lips brushing Chen Zhu's chin, "What you just did…"

Before he could finish, Chen Zhu's fingers curled from embarrassment, unconsciously scratching Jin Chen's back.

This is quite a big mix-up.

If I had known Jin Chen's feelings earlier and hadn't misunderstood him, it wouldn't have come to this.

"Will you be angry…"

Chen Zhu lowered his eyes, not daring to look at him; the courage he had wanted to keep Jin Chen at home had vanished completely just moments before.

"If you're angry, how should I make it up to you, brother."

Jin Chen propped his arms on either side of Chen Zhu, curiously lowering his head to look at his face.

His gaze was too scorching.

Chen Zhu forced himself to stay calm, yet he especially longed for more intimate contact… originally, he had planned to do just that tonight.

Chen Zhu exerted his waist and abdomen, lifting his upper body without using his arms, and pressed his lips to Jin Chen's.

The smile in Jin Chen's eyes flickered like a faint light as he supported Chen Zhu's head, pressed his body close, and deepened the kiss.

With a boom, the dim room was suddenly illuminated by a flash of lightning, and a downpour began outside.

A sudden roar without warning, a surging, endless upheaval.

The concrete wall of the windowsill was scoured by the rainstorm, raindrops striking deep gray marks that gradually overlapped until the whole balcony was soaked.

The potted flowers carefully nurtured on the balcony were shattered, able only to sway in the rain, raindrops hitting leaf sides and petals like a strangled throat, gradually unable to breathe.

Until late night, the rainstorm began to subside.

A crystal-clear water droplet fell from a petal into the damp soil; the potted flower that had endured such a fierce storm became fuller, having lacked water for countless summers without care, and finally on this rain night received ample irrigation.

【Detected Villain Heartthrob Value +15, total 70!】

——

Summer rain comes and goes quickly; the next day, not long after the sun appears, the ground is already dry and the air feels much fresher.

Zhao Weifang thought it over, still worried that Jin Chen calling the police would bring bad consequences, so he simply told his family about it.

Yuan Li had already been dissatisfied with Chen Zhu because her eldest son Zhaolong had left; hearing again about Chen Zhu, she became furious, taking Zhao Weifang and Li Shao straight to the cake shop to find someone.

Even if it was unreasonable, it could never be her son's fault!

Then the three of them were turned away at the door.

Only the security guard was there installing the new door; his fierce appearance made Yuan Li swallow all her questions.

"Where is Chen Zhu!"

Yuan Li's tone remained fierce, with a hint of senior's overbearing attitude: "Doesn't he also know he's in the wrong, deliberately hiding so he won't come out?"

The security guard didn't even lift his head, as if he hadn't heard at all; the four of them worked in sync and soon had the new door installed.

"Where do you youngsters come from! I'm talking to you and—"

Before he could finish, Yuan Li was frightened by the sudden rise of Security Guard Number One.

"The boss isn't here, get lost."

"What?" Zhao Weifang suddenly reacted, striding over a few steps to press: "Is Chen Zhu your boss? You aren't the security guards of the pastry shop at the end of the street, are you?!"

"Stupid, that's also our boss's."

Security Guard Number Two gave him a look, "Your rule says the boss can only have one shop."

"Damn it! Liuqing that bastard is messing with me!"

Zhao Weifang angrily kicked the roadside trash can, "No wonder that bastard won't help me at all."

"The trash can is ten dollars, remember to leave the money."

Jin Chen's lazy tone came from behind; Zhao Weifang and the others turned to see him closing the car door and walking over, "Are you here to look after business, or to cause trouble again?"

With Chen Zhu not beside him, Jin Chen had not a trace of meekness; his unruly wildness could not be concealed.

Zhao Weifang was already considerably shorter than him, and as Jin Chen approached, he seemed even more lacking in presence.

"Of course I'm here to talk about yesterday's matter."

Zhao Weifang eyed Jin Chen suspiciously, "My brothers are both down; if you dare call the police over the disturbance, you'll surely not get off easy either."

"You're Jin Chen, huh."

Yuan Li sized up this young man, said to have come from Jing Shi; if it weren't for some connection with Chen Zhu, he'd definitely be a fine youth.

Thinking of Chen Zhu's perverseness, Yuan Li's eyes, lined with black eyeliner, flashed with disgust; even her regard for Jin Chen faded, and anyone who consorts with a pervert could hardly be a good person.

"Regarding yesterday's incident, Auntie will apologize on Weifang's behalf; he's just indulged himself, momentarily lacking restraint, and actually harbors no ill intent."

Yuan Li seemed to apologize, but every word was actually exonerating Weifang.

"Besides, you're not from this town, so you don't know what happened before; Weifang's older brother was driven away by Chen Zhu, which created the grudge, and there's nothing you can do about getting involved."

Jin Chen glanced at her with the corner of his eye, walking toward the store while speaking in a flat tone.

"Your son is an idiot; you should apologize for him on this matter too."

"This matter can be big or small; if I insist on escalating it, the worst is that I won't be able to keep my shop, but as the instigator, Zhao Weifang will definitely be detained."

Listening to the Host's endless nonsense, 0731 couldn't help but sigh.

【Bullying the legally ignorant really gives no sense of accomplishment.】

How to put it—Jin Chen yesterday beat those two thugs until they were bloody, but they've done plenty of bad things, and what they fear most is going to the police station, let alone having to serve time.

Li Shao is not legally ignorant either; he also realizes that the facts are nowhere near as serious as Jin Chen made them out to be, but he's afraid that Jin Chen's earlier air of wealth or nobility might actually carry some weight in Jing Shi.

If he can't graduate from university, he's really done; the money he's made these two months in the town isn't enough for him!

In a moment, even Yuan Li was intimidated by Jin Chen.

"Then how can you not hold a grudge?" Yuan Li asked, and subconsciously adopted an elder's air, saying, "I'm telling you young people, don't try to extort money with this kind of method."

"Who cares about your family's few melons and dates," Jin Chen leaned against the doorframe, drawling in a lax tone with a sneer, "If you want us to let it go, it's actually quite simple."
