Chapter 46: Saving the Gentle Senior 22

Shen Qingci came to his senses, understood what that sentence meant.

He raised his head, his expression somewhat surprised.

"What have you prepared?"

"Violin, I was just practicing with Ai Lin outside."

Jin Chen lightly pinched his earlobe, chuckling low, "Almost knocked over the vinegar jar at home."

"No way."

Shen Qingci pushed him away, embarrassed, looking at Ai Lin.

"Let's go eat."

Ai Lin's eyes have been shining ever since they started interacting.

Shipping their older brother and sister-in-law's CP is just too sweet.

"Come on, let's go."

——

Lin Le felt he had been extremely unlucky these past few days.

First he had a big argument with Mou Yuan, and they ended up parting on bad terms.

Moreover, the thugs who had previously been hired to harass Shen Qingci found him downstairs of his rented apartment, threatening to give them money again or else they would expose the matter.

But he and Qi Ze have broken up, and Mou Yuan isn't a rich second-generation; where would he get so much money to give them?

Lin Le returned home feeling resentful, noticing that a crowd had gathered downstairs again.

"Why are you here again? I said I would figure out a way to raise money!"

His tone was extremely unfriendly.

The gold-chain-wearing Dage who led them sneered, "Watch your attitude, you little brat—now you owe us money."

"Back when you threatened others for us, you were the moneybags; now you're broke? You're kidding!"

They were all big and burly, their arm muscles more developed than Lin Le's thighs; when Dage shouted, they all stepped forward a few paces, surrounding him in the middle.

Lin Le's aura instantly weakened.

"But you never harmed Shen Qingci at all; even if you didn't fulfill my commission, how can you demand so much money?"

Dage gave a cold snort, the flesh on his cheeks trembling.

"You yourself said before that just scaring them was enough; I'm not stupid—causing injury would land the brothers in jail, you're just a student, but your heart is vicious."

"Exactly," the lackey beside him chimed in, "Do you really want him to come to harm? What are you thinking?"

The pent-up emotions Lin Le had been accumulating over this period, further provoked by their taunting, surged to his head, and he immediately shouted.

"Yes! It was me who told you to scare him, spread his photos and videos, but you didn't do it!"

"You should have killed him back then! Otherwise none of this would have happened!"

Once his emotions found an outlet, they became uncontrollable.

Lin Le didn't even have time to feel afraid, pointing at the street outside.

"Unless you go kill him right now! Otherwise I won't give you a single cent!"

Even though he looked angry, his clenched, uneasy fists and trembling voice still betrayed his nervousness.

Lin Le widened his eyes, eyes blood-red, heart pounding, "Go on! Do you dare?"

The scene fell silent for a few seconds.

Dage spat, as if disgusted by his ruthless attitude.

"Crazy!"

He waved his hand, "Let's go, nowadays even lunatics can wander around freely!"

The group again left in a mighty throng.

Lin Le exhaled, pressed his pounding chest, and hurried back to his door.

Yet his resentment toward Shen Qingci grew ever stronger.

Dage walked out of the street, sending the continuously open recording on his phone to a newly added friend.

——"The matter is settled; he spilled everything."

On the other end, after opening and listening, they replied.

——"The money has arrived."

Dage's eyes lit up.

"That fast!"

He quickly opened his phone's bank to check the balance.

"It's really 500,000! We've made a fortune!"

Overwhelmed with excitement, he didn't notice that the newly added friend in his messaging app had silently vanished from the list, all chat records erased.

At the same time, the police station received a report; among those suspected of illegal cashing out, the names of Dage and his gang appeared conspicuously.

——

Villa.

【Host, everything has been handled; the recordings have all been extracted, and they are also being arrested by the police.】

【Well done, process the recording a bit so people can immediately recognize it as Lin Le's voice.】

Jin Chen, dressed in a laid-back black home outfit, stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, the blue sky and fountain garden scenery filling his view, his long fingers resting on the bow, eyes half-closed.

Hearing the melodious violin sound, Shen Qingci softened his motion of returning home and closing the door, a hint of mischief flashing in his eyes.

He changed his shoes, then quietly walked to Jin Chen's study.

The door wasn't shut tight; his lithe figure slipped in sideways.

Soon after, he took a few quick steps to run up behind Jin Chen, intending to scare him.

But he was caught in a full embrace by Jin Chen, who had turned around.

Shen Qingci was dazed for a few seconds, then helplessly rubbed his head.

You already noticed.

Of course I sensed Bao Bao's presence.

Jin Chen set the zither aside and held him in his arms.

You aren't doing extra training today?

I said hello to the teacher and am training at home, Shen Qingci said with a smile, planting a kiss on him, otherwise letting little Jin Chen spend the weekend alone at home would be too pitiful.

Jin Chen smirked lightly, tilted his head, turned up the corners of his mouth, gave him a light kiss on the lips, then trailed his kisses along his neck.

Ah Chen, don't kiss... I still need to practice dance.

You can practice tomorrow as well; today I have an idea.

Shen Qingci helplessly pushed his head away.

No, the day after tomorrow is the rehearsal; do you want me unable to get up?

Jin Chen teased with a low chuckle, indulgent ripples in his eyes, 'Bao Bao really acknowledges my strength.'

His hand roamed dishonestly over Shen Qingci's waist, his voice low and his tone intriguing.

If we can't have meat, at least we can drink soup.

Shen Qingci's breathing faltered under his teasing, his cheeks flushing crimson, the corners of his eyes reddening, his gaze shimmering.

Jin Chen's lips trailed along his neck, kissing up to the earlobe, his breath scorching.

Bao Bao...

No, not allowed to go all the way.

Shen Qingci gave a light reprimand, soon gave up resistance, his hands climbing Jin Chen's neck as his waist went limp.

Afterwards, he was lifted into a horizontal carry.

Wait, I just got back; let me shower first...

Jin Chen chuckled lowly, 'Let's wash together.'

In the bathroom.

Shen Qingci was held by him into the bathtub, shifting uncomfortably, 'I'll wash myself.'

No, I already promised you not to go all the way; aren't you even giving me this perk?

Jin Chen skillfully embraced him, removed his clothes, his tone aggrieved but his hands didn't stop.

Although the bathtub isn't small, two men lying in it is still not enough; Shen Qingci almost lies stacked on Jin Chen, making it convenient for Jin Chen to roam his hands.

His sensitive earlobe was taken in, Shen Qingci let out a soft moan, his arm trembling as it hit the water-release button; warm water trickled in and steam filled the bathroom.

After leaving the bathroom, it was already three hours later.

Jin Chen carried him back to bed.

Shen Qingci was already all-over crimson, his eyes shimmering like spring water, his lips slightly swollen with a moist sheen; lacking strength, he leaned on Jin Chen, his arms sore and unable to lift.

He suddenly gave Jin Chen a light punch, murmuring softly.

Not shy.

Jin Chen's lips curled involuntarily, his exquisite, profound features distinct, his peach-blossom eyes brimming with affection, 'What's there to be shy about with Bao Bao? This is only natural.'

Shen Qingci pinched his earlobe, 'What natural law? We haven't even married.'

Ah... Bao Bao wants to get married.

Jin Chen suddenly understood, indulgent to the extreme, 'I see, then let's go to Yingguo to get the certificate.'

No way.

Shen Qingci was placed on the bed by Jin Chen, instinctively curling into his embrace, eyelids slightly lifting, 'It's still early, no rush.'

Jin Chen responded solemnly, 'Indeed, anyway you will be mine.'
