Chapter 360: I Want to Eat You

~12 min read 2,205 words

After getting out of the car, I didn't go to stop them; I wanted to see who would make the first move.

Lin Xiaoxi also got out; she seemed a bit nervous, constantly urging me to go and persuade them to stop.

Guo Wei and the others glanced over at us from time to time. He Jiaxiao was rubbing his hands, eager to try. The fire that had been burning in his belly was looking for a chance to vent, and he didn't expect Guo Wei to come to his door. He Jiaxiao had practiced in school; his whole body was muscular, and the muscles on his two arms were as hard as iron.

Guo Wei had also been a sports star in the past; from his sturdy build, one could see he was no less than He Jiaxiao.

When two strong men fight, one must suffer!

The aggressive staring contest gave the execution ground a smell of gunpowder. But I knew they wouldn't fight; if they were going to fight, they would have done it long ago, and wouldn't have waited until we chased them here to still be staring.

Facing a love, neither was willing to give up. Perhaps they both truly loved Chen Meng; take He Jiaxiao, for example—after traveling around the world and coming back to pursue Chen Meng, it was no longer the hunting mentality of the past.

But Guo Wei, I knew his love definitely contained things that couldn't be faced in the light. To say he loved Chen Meng, it was better to say he had his eye on Secretary Chen's status.

When he was doing social education in Chunshan County, he terminated his love for Huang Weiwei for the sake of Huang Weiwei, but he didn't expect Huang Weiwei to fall in love with me, causing him to lose both the sesame and the watermelon. Now that he met Chen Meng, he thought it was a matter of course, but who would have thought He Jiaxiao would kill his way back halfway?

Lin Xiaoxi reached out and grabbed my arm; her fingertips seemed to pinch into my flesh. She was flushed, breathing rapidly, her eyes looking uneasily at the two men not far away who were like fighting beasts.

"County Magistrate Chen, hurry and stop them." She was incomparably nervous, her eyes pitiful.

"It's okay! They won't fight," I comforted her in a low voice.

"Not fighting?" Lin Xiaoxi seemed a bit disappointed, muttering, "Why run out of the city and make such a big scene?"

I smiled and wiped my face. I was telling her that men are all about face! Think back to Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng—didn't they stand for a century without making a move?

This kind of duel between masters is just a flash of lightning! I explained with a smile.

"So you just watch me, and I watch you? How long are you going to stand there?" Lin Xiaoxi wrapped her down jacket tighter. The nervousness just now had vanished, replaced by a faint sense of loneliness.

Women aren't afraid of fighting! How many women like to watch men fight!

Guo Wei finally let go of his posture; after all, he was mixing in officialdom. He knew who his opponent was, and he was regretting his impulsiveness just now.

He Jiaxiao still looked like he wouldn't forgive anyone, maintaining his attacking posture.

War is something where as long as one side extinguishes the fire, the other side loses its target. Seeing Guo Wei's abandoned posture, He Jiaxiao pouted contemptuously, took a cigarette from his pocket, put it in his mouth, lit it, and took a proud, deep puff.

Seeing that the situation was over and the smell of gunpowder had been blown away by the wind, Lin Xiaoxi bounced over and said to Guo Wei, "Secretary Guo, calm down."

Lin Xiaoxi knew Guo Wei; as a news anchor in the county, she knew all the Party and government leaders in Chunshan County.

Guo Wei smiled and said nothing. A trace of shame spread across his face.

Lin Xiaoxi saw Guo Wei's embarrassment and quietly extended a thumb, saying, "I admire you, Secretary Guo."

Guo Wei couldn't hold his face anymore and sighed, "I'm really sorry. If it weren't for his young age, I really would have wanted to teach Secretary He a lesson for him."

His words were heard by He Jiaxiao, who threw the cigarette butt on the ground and sneered, "What did you say? Is your skin itching?"

Facing a beauty like Lin Xiaoxi, even Guo Wei's good cultivation couldn't hold up, so he retorted, "Really want to do it?"

He Jiaxiao simply stopped talking, rolled up his sleeves, and rushed over like a little fierce tiger. The sudden change caught Guo Wei off guard, and he panicked slightly, immediately putting on a posture to meet the battle.

At this moment, I stepped between them like a door god, blocking He Jiaxiao's path, and with a flick of my hand, He Jiaxiao, caught off guard, stumbled and almost fell.

A smile appeared on the corner of my mouth, then vanished instantly.

He was stunned, staring at me with a face full of incomprehension.

I laughed, "Jiaxiao, are you still young? Moving your hands and feet, not mature at all. If you really want to fight, fight with brother first."

I also learned from him and rolled up my sleeves. After training in the village for these years, my arms were also muscular and looked powerful.

He Jiaxiao was questioned by me and stood there for a long time without making a sound.

I glanced at Guo Wei again; his expression seemed to have a trace of gratitude.

Men don't rely on duels to express themselves; brains are more lethal than force. Force is just the most direct way to solve problems, but not the best way.

No one is willing to lose face in front of a beauty, and Guo Wei is no exception.

Therefore, Guo Wei said, "County Magistrate Chen, stand aside. This matter has nothing to do with you."

I still laughed, "How could it have nothing to do with me? It has a lot to do with me. Brother Guo, you say, if you get hurt, can I explain it? If Jiaxiao gets hurt, can I explain it? You are both my brothers. What is a brother? Flesh and blood! If a person loses an arm or a leg, can they still be considered a whole person?"

Guo Wei doubted, "It might not be as serious as you say."

I said seriously, "When men fight, if they don't fight to the death, what are they fighting for? Rather than being half-hearted, it's better to shake hands and make peace. Look at wars between countries; there must be a result. In my opinion, everyone is on the same starting line, why can't we compete fairly? Why must we cause death or injury for a woman?"

My words immediately made Xiao Xi feel disgusted, and she said angrily, "What's wrong with women? You don't look at history; how many wars were caused by women? What does this mean? It means we women are worth you men going to war for."

Lin Xiaoxi's words made all three of us men laugh; we felt she was so cute, with her eyebrows raised and her eyes charmingly refuting us.

With this laugh, the tense atmosphere immediately vanished.

"Go home and celebrate the New Year!" I said loudly, signaling He Jiaxiao with my eyes that a good child should know when to stop.

He Jiaxiao understood what I meant, sighed, climbed into the car, and left without a word.

Guo Wei still wanted to say something, but I stopped him and said, "Brother, let's go. No matter how big the matter is, it has to wait until after the New Year, don't you think?"

Guo Wei nodded, looked at Lin Xiaoxi, and stopped talking.

I walked away knowingly, borrowed the shelter to light a cigarette, returned to Chen Meng's car, and left them to talk.

Guan Peishan asked me to send Lin Xiaoxi to visit Secretary Chen, instead of letting Deputy Team Leader Guo Wei do it; there was naturally a deep meaning in this. But I didn't want to think too much; tomorrow was New Year's Eve, so I didn't care what his thoughts were.

Just after sitting down, I received a call from Chen Meng, who asked me as soon as she opened her mouth: "Did they fight?"

I laughed, "What do you hope?"

Chen Meng said indifferently, "Whether they fight or not has nothing to do with me."

"Then why are you asking?" I teased her, "Who are you worried about?"

Chen Meng didn't even think and blurted out: "I'm worried about you, is that okay?"

I didn't expect her to say that, so I was embarrassed for a long time before stammering: "How is that possible!"

"What's impossible about it? I'm afraid they'll hurt you if they fight; if you really get hurt, how can I explain it to Weiwei?" Chen Meng hung up after saying that.

My face turned red immediately, and I secretly cursed myself for being wishful thinking. Chen Meng was the person two men were fighting to the death for; how could she care about me? Besides, I was a man with a master.

Since she mentioned Huang Weiwei, if I didn't make a call, my conscience would really be sorry.

So I pressed the button and heard a light music of "For Elise" coming from the receiver, and I felt comfortable all over.

"Are you back?" Huang Weiwei asked happily.

I let out an "Um."

"Do you know where I am?" she asked, giggling.

"Where are you?" My mind was a blank; it was the New Year, where else could you be if not at home?

"Guess, if you guess right, I'll treat you to a big meal." Huang Weiwei laughed mischievously; her mood was obviously very good, and I could feel the happiness she was sending over.

"I don't want a big meal!" I said, "I want to eat..."

"What do you want to eat?" Huang Weiwei asked vigilantly.

I held down my pounding heart, lowered my voice, and said, "I want to eat you."

This was the first time we had such an ambiguous expression. Sure enough, Huang Weiwei seemed to be startled and didn't speak for a long time. Finally, she said softly: "As long as you guess right, whatever you want."

My brain turned rapidly. She said that, so she definitely wasn't at her own home. But if she wasn't at her own home, where could she be?

Could she be at my house? A flash of inspiration crossed my mind, and I blurted out almost without thinking: "I won't guess. I know."

Huang Weiwei urged: "You know where I am?"

I said confidently: "Of course I know."

"Even if you know, you have to say it. If you can't say it, don't even think about it." She must have been incredibly shy. Huang Weiwei was a sensitive plant, and I knew her nature well.

It was this sentence that suddenly made me feel hot all over. It was as if something was starting to stir under my body.

"I will give you a surprise!" I said, this sentence having a double meaning.

"I'm waiting for you!" She was also shy.

While the two of us were being ambiguous outside, the car window glass was knocked a few times, and then Lin Xiaoxi climbed into the car and said with a smile: "Making an emotional phone call?"

I denied it.

Lin Xiaoxi laughed, "Looking at your expression, you think you can fool people?"

I laughed, "Does our beauty reporter know how to read faces and tell fortunes?"

"I wouldn't dare! It's intuition! A woman's intuition. Understand?" Lin Xiaoxi said earnestly, sighed lightly, "Drive!"

"Where to?" I asked. With such a beauty in the car, and tomorrow being New Year's Eve, how should I handle her?

"Secretary He's house," she said coldly.

Her sudden change in attitude made me unable to adapt. But I vaguely felt that this had something to do with Guo Wei.

Sure enough, without me continuing to ask, Lin Xiaoxi couldn't help but say, "Don't you want to know what we just said?"

I hesitated and said, "No!"

Lin Xiaoxi laughed and said, "If all men were like you, the world would be much better."

Her words were thrown into my heart like a bomb. I felt sweat starting to break out on my heart; if all the men in the world were like me, the world would be in chaos!

She didn't understand me! Appraisal complete.

"Really! I only just figured out why you could be a Deputy County Magistrate while they couldn't," Lin Xiaoxi pulled her feet out of her small boots and reached out to rub her white-as-jade ankles.

I glanced sideways and was instantly fascinated. Her feet were too beautiful, just like her—like jade, like mist, like smoke, like dust.

Lin Xiaoxi obviously sensed it; she smiled, stretched her graceful body, and breathed out comfortably like an orchid. ===== CHAPTER 361 =====
