Chapter 113   - Extra CP (Zuo Zhen x Lu Xiuhe)-Didn’t you say that you were an invincible fighter back in junior high school?In college, everyone was an adult, and fighting wasn’t a big deal as long as there was no blood shed. The counselor called late at night and talked to Father Lu for a long time.

“Yes….right, our family’s He Zi is really well-behaved ordinarily. He was in a bad mood tonight, he’s lovelorn…if you can understand, that’s great. ”

Lu Xiuhe couldn’t stand it any longer and said, “Dad, if you’re going to talk on the phone, just talk on the phone. Can you not tell the whole world about this matter ah?”

“Shut up, it’s not like I’m not lying. How can I lie to the teacher?” Father Lu scolded him.

Lu Xiuhe really wanted to define again the differences between counselors and teachers for his dad.

“Yes, yes, yes, thank you, teacher. I’ll tell him to go tomorrow.” Father Lu finished talking, hung up the phone, turned around, and said, “Okay, the person over there that suffered from getting hit by you doesn’t blame you; the counselor asked you to go apologize tomorrow, and then it’ll be okay.”

“Me apologize?” Lu Xiuhe’s eyes widened, “Yeah right. Why should I apologize to him? I even want him to go give Zuo…. Go give my partner an apology! ”

In normal times, Father Lu would definitely knock on his son’s head, but today he just let it go. He got up and said, “It’s fine if you don’t apologize. I’ll ask your mom to buy you some fruit tomorrow morning, and you take it to school. You beat someone up, so it’s not too much to send some fruit ?”

Lao San usually had a cheap mouth and loved to jabber away, but he wasn’t a bad person. Lu Xiuhe thought about it and mumbled, “Okay .”

After applying some random medicine, Lu Xiuhe went back to his room. His face was burning with pain, and he definitely couldn’t fall asleep. He simply turned over and played with his cellphone.

The first thing he did when he picked up his phone was open up his Weibo side account, wanting to see how the comments were like under that influencer account. However as he flipped and scrolled around, he just found out that the influencer’s Weibo had been deleted, without even a shadow left behind. It must have been the PR team.

It was three o’clock in the morning, so Peerless’ efficiency was pretty up there . He just didn’t know if Zuo Zhen had seen that post or not.

His heart suddenly soured, and he thought to himself, really, you’ve already been blacklisted by this guy, so whether or not he saw it has shit all to do with you.

He closed the search and was going to go watch the latest episode of One Piece when he saw a special topic on the trending searches.

“Have any of you experienced being tricked while dating online?”

This line of characters stabbed straight into Lu Xiuhe’s heart.

He was sure that no one else was more qualified to reply to this Weibo post!

This Weibo post was simply customized for him. If it was on some other platform, he would even add a “thank you” before replying.

He clicked on the post and went straight to the comments. He found that some people in these comments had been tricked out of money, some had been tricked about what the other person looked like, and some had been catfished, but it seemed that he couldn’t find a sympathetic take on it.

So he turned around, got up, and opened up the comment box.

“I’ll talk about it too. My online partner for five months is a man, and I’m also a man, a man as straight as steel. Some time ago, I went to his city to find him… when I met him in real life, he’s really handsome. ”

He had originally wanted to make a long speech, but who knew that when he finished typing this line, he accidentally clicked the send button.

He clicked his tongue, just about to continue his comment in a reply, but when it refreshed, he found that someone had already replied to his comment.

[Really handsome? How handsome, a straight man aesthetic kind of handsome?]

Having a stranger listening to him pour his heart out in the middle of the night felt too good.

“No, the kind of handsome that both men and women like. I’m already this old, and I haven’t seen anyone more handsome than him.”

These days, there were many night owls. He refreshed the page, and there was another reply below.

[Such a handsome person dates online? I don’t believe it. Then what? ]

[May I ask, is he as handsome as him [picture]]

Lu Xiuhe casually clicked to open the picture.

……it was really as if he had seen a ghost.

This was actually a street snapshot of Zuo Zhen at the airport.

“He’s as handsome as him. Then… After having dated for so long, I couldn’t bear to beat him up. As soon as I was ready to say bye bye to him, I was pressed up against the wall and kissed by him.”

[?]

[Ha?? What kind of turn is this? By the way, begging for a picture. ]

“Afraid of losing my connection, so not sending photos. After that, I originally had no intention of contacting him again, but I kept not being able to help it… I said before , he’s so handsome, and then… ”

Lu Xiuhe thought about how to make this matter vague.

“Then he had a fan group at our school, and I accidentally entered the fan group. Who knew that he found out about this matter, and he asked me if I was purposefully dangling him around, and said that since I don’t like him, to not entangle with him anymore.”

[Really fake, he’s your online partner, so how can he have a fan group at your school? Not chatting with you guys anymore 886. ]

“I guarantee, this matter is absolutely true. If I lied, may I be single for the rest of my life. ”

[This person plainly catfished you, and he still has the nerve to say you’re dangling him around? And then what, you beat him up? ]

“No.”

“I was kissed by him again.”

[…… ]

[You’re really unlucky. So in the end what, now it should be time for you to take some action ? If I was kissed twice by a man, I could fucking burn down his house. ]

“Ah? Why do I need to take action . If he kissed me that means I kissed him too . He’s that handsome, and anyway I’m not suffering any losses. Isn’t it just touching lips? ”

[? ]

“And he was still sick then. I originally wanted to wait for his fever to go down before leaving, but he drove me away&#k2026; right, I was just blacklisted by him too. “

[??]

“His QQ and WeChat have all been deleted, our chat records for the several months have all disappeared, he won’t let me into his fans’ group, and also told me to leave his fandom. I think I am the most miserable fan in the world.”

[???]

“So I’d like to comment here to ask all of you, in this case, is there any way to make me and him not have such hardened relations? At least….QQ and WeChat could get added back . I’ll just look at his profile picture and won’t go looking for him to chat with, and that would be fine, really. “

At the end of this sentence, Lu Xiuhe got up and went to the bathroom. When he came back, he was shocked by the 100 likes on his comment.

There were already a lot more replies to his post, and the reply at the top was——

[Dearest, we suggest that you bend over directly. ]

“……”

Lu Xiuhe felt as if he had been electrified by something. He was so shocked that his thumb reflexively pressed down and locked his phone.

—— “I heard that the snail vermicelli here is very delicious,” Zuo Zhen said

Lu Xiuhe only then noticed that the other party still had a plastic bag in his hand. Looking at the packaging, it really was snail vermicelli.

He had mentioned this shop to Zuo Zhen before.

“Oh…” Lu Xiuhe stared blankly then said, “That shop’s peppers are especially spicy, you didn’t put in too much .”

“No.” Zuo Zhen said, “Did you find me for something?”

“Ah?”

“If not, I’m heading back.”

“……” Lu Xiuhe was silent for a long time. “Nothing really…”

“En.” Zuo Zhen said, turning around and planning to leave.

“Right.” Lu Xiuhe said then blurted out, “Is your fever done?”

“En.”

Lu Xiuhe said nothing again, “Oh.”

After a few steps, Zuo Zhen heard the person behind him coming up again.

“Zuo Zhen, wait.” Lu Xiuhe grabbed his wrist, as if he finally couldn’t hold back anymore and asked him, “….Why did you suddenly delete my QQ ? ”

Zuo Zhen: “…”

“No, I mean that you could let me know before you delete it, not to not let you delete it.” Lu Xiuhe said, “I… I just want to keep the chat records. ”

“There’s no need,” said Zuo Zhen.

“……”

Two big men pulling and pushing each other had already attracted a little attention from the people around them. Zuo Zhen pulled on the brim of his hat and said, “I’m going. Goodbye.”

He finished saying that and planned to leave, but the grip on his wrist by the person behind him suddenly tightened, and he couldn’t break free.

Zuo Zhen turned around, his tone already a little impatient, “Lu Xiuhe…”

He just called his name, then lost his voice.

Lu Xiuhe was staring blankly at him. The big young man with a buzzcut was so aggrieved that even the tip of his nose had turned red, and even his eyes were a bit red.

Meeting Zuo Zhen’s glossy black eyes, Lu Xiuhe only then came back to his senses. He let out an “oh” and quickly let go, “Sorry .”

He completely had no idea that his expression didn’t look right. “I just wanted to tell you that there is a milk tea shop near my school. The milk tea there is very delicious. If you want to drink it…”

“Lu Xiuhe.” Zuo Zhen called out to him again.

“Alright , if you don’t want to drink it, that’s fine too.”

“What’s wrong with your face?”

“…… Ah? ”

“Your face.” Zuo Zhen repeated.

“Oh, you’re talking about that .” Lu Xiuhe answered resentfully, “Fought with someone, got hurt.”

Zuo Zhen frowned, “Didn’t you say that you were an invincible fighter back in junior high school?”

“That was junior high school. I’m in college now.”

“You also know that you’re in college now.” Although Zuo Zhen’s voice was still cold, at least he wasn’t turning his head and leaving. “Why did you get into a fight?”

“……”

“Talk .”

If this was normal times, Lu Xiuhe would definitely lie, but now he wanted to get back the chat record, so he weighed the matter and finally said honestly, “That person cursed you out.”

“Him cursing me out, what does that have to do with you?”

“You’re my ex .”

“……”

Lu Xiuhe took a deep breath, “Even if you tricked me, but we…for better or worse we also count as having been together, and I definitely can’t listen to others talk bad about you.”

Zuo Zhen was silent for a long time, then he suddenly snorted, “Then you still really remember old feelings. Did you win or lose the fight?”

“Just, half and half .”

Zuo Zhen stood in place and looked at the injury on his face for a while. magic

Lu Xiuhe didn’t know what to say. The two of them were silent for a while when Zuo Zhen’s cellphone suddenly rang.

Lu Xiuhe already had lowered his head and just happened to see the caller ID. It was “Assistant”.

Zuo Zhen didn’t pick it up. He looked away, locked the screen, and said, “Leaving.”

The soles of Lu Xiuhe’s feet were like stones with a weight of a thousand jin. They couldn’t move any more. What other reasons did he have for keeping this person here. “Oh…”

After separating this time, he didn’t know when he would be able to see him again.

As soon as he had this idea, he had a lot more courage. He simply raised his head and stared at Zuo Zhen, thinking that he needed to remember this entire person.

Such a good person, and he didn’t know if he could meet him again in the future, so it wasn’t bad to give him a few more looks.

Who knew that Zuo Zhen just stood in place, letting him look at him.

Half a minute later, Zuo Zhen raised his eyebrows and said, “Let’s go .”

Lu Xiuhe froze, “….go where? ”

Zuo Zhen said, “To buy milk tea.”
