The Arrogant Young Master Became Obedient After Being BulliedChapter 18

Chen Ju’s heart skipped a beat. With a gulp, he swallowed his saliva and opened his eyes slowly.

A pair of pitch-black eyes stared intensely at him with a hint of impatience. 7grtd9

“You’re about to fall, don’t move around.” Jiang Zhou gently lifted Chen Ju, holding him in a posture similar to carrying a child.

The last trace of sleepiness completely disappeared, and Chen Ju finally woke up, leaning on Jiang Zhou’s chest, blinking his eyes, struggling to activate his blank mind.

He remembered sitting in a chair, waiting for the stylist to cut his hair. Then he became too sleepy and thought of taking a nap, but ended up falling into a deep sleep.

Thinking about this, Chen Ju’s face became ugly. It was a disaster; he messed up things, and Jiang Zhou would be very angry. l8GjZa

At this moment, the elevator door opened, and several people walked in, casting strange glances in their direction. Chen Ju finally regained his voice, and with a strained throat, he anxiously said, “Jiang Zhou, please put me down. I… I’m not sleepy anymore.”

“Mhm.” Jiang Zhou just agreed with his mouth, but his hands didn’t move. He continued to hold Chen Ju tightly.

More and more people came into the elevator, and Chen Ju knew Jiang Zhou had no intention of letting him go. He could only turn his head to the side, burying his face in Jiang Zhou’s coat, his nostrils filled with a familiar and warm scent.

Seeing that Jiang Zhou didn’t look angry, Chen Ju was relieved. He blinked his dry eyes and lightly rubbed his forehead against Jiang Zhou’s shoulder.

After walking out of the shopping mall, no one was watching, so Jiang Zhou put Chen Ju down.

Suddenly losing the warm embrace, Chen Ju felt a little uncomfortable for a while. He sneezed and sensed Jiang Zhou’s gaze. He hurriedly turned his head, covered his mouth with his hands, and said in a muffled voice, “I’m sorry, I’m not sick. It’s just a bit cold.”

“No need to apologize to me,” Jiang Zhou returned to his usual indifference, without any tenderness in his eyes. He glanced at his watch. “It’s already late, you…”

“Yes, right, and also, this clothing, I will return it to you.” Chen Ju stuffed two bags into Jiang Zhou’s hands, then lowered his head and looked at his own attire. After thinking for a moment in distress, he gritted his teeth and said, “Wait here, I’ll go to that corner and change before going back.”

After finishing speaking, Chen Ju turned around to walk towards the corner, but his wrist was grabbed. The next second, Jiang Zhou’s deep voice sounded with a hint of anger: “Chen Ju, did you do it on purpose?”

The hand on his waist was very strong, leaving a red mark on Chen Ju’s white and tender skin. Enduring the pain, he turned around, looking at Jiang Zhou with a bewildered expression. Suddenly, he remembered that he had messed up things earlier by falling asleep, which had made Jiang Zhou angry.

“I’m sorry, I…I didn’t intentionally fall asleep,” he hastily apologized. “Next time I…” fzbGQ5

“That’s not what I’m talking about,” Jiang Zhou interrupted Chen Ju impatiently. He stuffed the two bags back into Chen Ju’s hands and said coldly, “Take them. What I bought for you is yours.”

Chen Ju looked at the bag in his hands and softly said, “Yes, but these clothes are too expensive…”

“Chen Ju, you need to clarify one thing,” under the streetlight, Jiang Zhou’s eyes flickered with cold and chilling light. “The clothes are not a gift for you, but rather because you dress too shabbily and stand beside me pretending, who would believe it?”

The heat on Chen Ju’s face dissipated, leaving him a pale, snow-like complexion. Except for his lips, there was no trace of blood. 2y0seO

He clenched those bags tightly in his hand, retracted his hand, and stared at the marble slab under his feet without saying another word.

Jiang Zhou was telling the truth. Even the cotton jacket he was wearing today was given to him by Chen Yifa two years ago because it didn’t fit him.

Indeed, it was very unsightly.

Jiang Zhou took out his mobile phone, and the dimly lit screen reflected in his eyes as a deep blue: “Come and find me tomorrow afternoon at five o’clock. I’ll send you the address.” jA Xk2

“Okay.” Chen Ju nodded.

Jiang Zhou stared at the man in front of him. After a while, he took out a red banknote from his wallet and handed it over: “Taxi fare.”

As soon as the red colour appeared, it was like a blazing fire, glaringly bright and sharp. Chen Ju took a small step back, pursed his lips, and shook his head slightly.

Thank you, thank you very much. The things I bought today are enough, more than enough.” Chen Ju raised a pleasing smile, with a hint of pale pink at the corners of his eyes. “I… I can take a taxi back on my own, without bothering Young Master Jiang.” kaq34R

Jiang Zhou’s hand holding the money stopped in the air. His gaze flickered, and he said coldly: “It’s just transportation expenses, don’t think too much about it.”

Saying that, he stuffed the money into Chen Ju’s chest pocket, slightly bent over, and looked into the man’s eyes, warning him: “Prepare better for tomorrow’s party. Don’t reveal as many flaws as you did tonight.”

The money in his pocket was like a burning flame, and even his chest under the clothes became hot.

Such a scene seemed to have happened before. He remembered it was after a high school party had ended, and he secretly followed Jiang Zhou out. UhoVjv

It was already very late, but Jiang Zhou still went to the bus stop to wait for a bus. He hurriedly ran over, took out a few bills from his pocket, stuffed them into Jiang Zhou’s pocket, and asked him to take a taxi.

He remembered that Jiang Zhou was very angry and threw away the money without giving him any face, then got on the bus without looking back. At that time, Chen Ju felt very wronged and couldn’t understand why Jiang Zhou was so angry because he was kind enough to consider Jiang Zhou.

Now, watching Jiang Zhou’s departure figure, Chen Ju slowly raised his hand and covered his pocket, feeling as if his heart was tightly clenched in his hand.

So, that was how it felt. No wonder Jiang Zhou hated him. If he were in Jiang Zhou’s shoes, he would also hate his past self. 8tZPAj

“Who is it? It’s so late.” Li Qing yawned and ran his fingers through his hair as he opened the door. When he saw the person standing outside, he became alert instantly. “Chen Ju! It’s cold outside, come in quickly!”

Li Qing pulled Chen Ju into the house and looked him up and down. He couldn’t hold back, and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”

“Can I stay at your place for a few days? Once I find a house, I will move out immediately.” Chen Ju clenched the straps of his schoolbag tightly, his fingers exposed to the cold turning red.

Li Qing stared at the embarrassed man in front of him. After a few seconds, he sighed and patted Chen Ju’s shoulder, saying: “Don’t be so polite. We’ve known each other for so long. You can stay as long as you want!” sazEyU

“Thank you.” Chen Ju said gratefully.

“Thanks for what? What’s the relationship between us?” Li Qing took Chen Ju’s luggage and almost lost his grip of it due to its weight. He said in surprise, “Damn, how did you carry this heavy thing all the way here?”

Chen Ju smiled and replied, “It’s, it’s not too heavy.”

Li Qing glanced at Chen Ju’s slender shoulders, with a hint of pity in his eyes. He sighed and said: “Haven’t you eaten tonight? I’ll make tomato and egg noodles for you.” emR5Kf

“No need to trouble yourself, I’ve already eaten…”

“Crispy instant noodles?” Li Qing bluntly asked, patting Chen Ju’s back and saying, “Don’t be polite with me, just sit obediently.”

Chen Ju clenched the hem of his clothes tightly, lowered his head, and his eyes filled with warmth. He murmured, “Thank you.”
