Chapter 38: CH 38

Huo Ming Chen knew he could not win against Lu Qi and so decided to use his best weapons, his wits and vicious mouth, to get the upper hand. The latter didn’t care much for it and let him have his fun. No matter how much he thinks he can win with words, he’ll pay it all back on the bed anyway.

To say that he won’t get out of bed for three days… Well, it wasn’t a minute more and it wasn’t a second less. After all, Lu Qi knew this principle very well — When a gentleman wants to take his revenge, it could never be considered late even if it is ten years later. Even if he is lacking in everything, he will never be lacking in patience.

When it was finally time, Lu Qi escorted Huo Ming Chen to the hospital to take off his cast. At first, Huo Ming Chen kept feeling like his leg was too light and walked very strangely, which naturally concerned Lu Qi. He held on to Huo Ming Chen and asked in a low voice, 

“Is it because your bone didn’t heal well? Let’s go back to check with the doctor?”

Huo Ming Chen coldly laughed, 

“There’s nothing to talk about with the doctor. Don’t you know in your heart what’s the problem?” 

After all, his sore waist, weak legs and inability to walk properly was all because of Lu Qi.

Hearing this, Lu Qi smiled with his eyes full of warmth and his mind filled with thoughts of sex. His fingers lightly stroked across Huo Ming Chen’s waist and even though there was a layer of clothing between their skin, that kind of tickling touch did not miss a single beat in sending a heartstopping signal straight to the heart, 

“I am a person who has no thoughts in their heart. Memory’s bad too. Whatever I did, I really can’t remember.”

Huo Ming Chen wanted to hurt him just once, 

“Then can you remember who owes you money?”

Lu Qi thought about it and then lifted one finger, waving it in front of Huo Ming Chen. His eyes suddenly fell into a state of seriousness, 

“Except for you, there is no one who could owe me.”

A seemingly normal sentence, but somehow one that could make his heart beat faster. Huo Ming Chen pressed on the area over his heart to silently try to calm down his feelings. He felt as if he was being dipped into a jar of honey, becoming too overly sweet.

He hadn’t even come out of this secret happiness when Lu Qi suddenly pulled back his shoulder and sternly ordered him, 

“But you have to remember that you must return all that you owe back to me sometime in the future.”

Huo Ming Chen’s smile immediately dropped. At this moment, all his feelings dissipated into the air, leaving only the feeling of him being a huge fucking idiot. He gave Lu Qi a glance and said ominously,

“You can see for yourself if I will return it or not — if I return what I owe you, I will become a dog!”

You originally were a dog, one that that goes around everyday just randomly biting people in a terrible temper.

Lu Qi looked at him and muttered quietly to himself, 

“If you don’t return it, then don’t. It’s not like I ever counted on you to return anything anyway.”

Lu Yuan was quicker on her feet than he imagined she would be. Who knew what she said as only a few days had passed before Mama Lu’s phone call arrived. Over the phone, the older woman’s voice sounded quite calm. Indeed, her acceptance level was stronger than Lu Yuan, that little brat’s.

Because he had already planned that this would happen, he was not surprised. As he had just finished his classes for the day, he randomly found a corner to sit down where no one else was around while walking through the field. The sun was shining brightly at this time of day, but the warmth was not a painful burn.

Mama Lu said, 

“Lu Yuan said that you found a partner for life and that they’re a man?”

Lu Qi nodded his head with his eyes focused on the students playing soccer in a field far away. At that moment, his eyes appeared to be looking at something far in the distance, 

“Mhmm, met at the university, same year as me.”

Mama Lu asked, 

“Does his family know?”

Lu Qi replied, 

“They do, but their family isn’t really supportive.”

Silence fell between the both of them at that, and after a long while, he heard Mama Lu suddenly say, 

“Whatever you have to say, let’s meet up first. I am near your school with Lu Yuan right now.”

Lu Qi was a little shocked and stood up in surprise, 

“When did you arrive? Why didn’t you say this to me before? I could have picked you up.”
