Bo Chengcheng tore off her facial mask and pleted her skincare routine, then put on her underwear.
By the time she re-emerged, she saw that Cheng Huaxing was reading a book.
In particular, it was the book “Journey Under the Midnight Sun”, that he had deliberately left in the basket of her bicycle because he thought it was too worn.
Bo Chengcheng patted her face as she took out a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator. “Here, have some water.”
“Your way of treating guests is really…” Cheng Huaxing shook his head and put on a look of disappointment, but there was a smile on his face.
Bo Chengcheng sat on the sofa and looked at the time. “It’s late. You should go home. I’ve been busy all day and I’m exhausted.”
“Hey, is this how you treat your old friend?”
“My old friend, don’t forget that you were picking a fight with me just then.” Bo Chengcheng mocked him. “Have you forgotten so quickly?”
Cheng Hua Xing laughed. “Hey, hey, hey. You were the one who wanted to pick a fight with me, alright? Didn’t you realize who raised her voice? I was obviously the passive party, alright?”
Bo Chengcheng laughed.
“…What kind of laughter is this?”
“Can’t you tell it’s a mocking laughter?” Bo Chengcheng looked up lazily. “Your brain is getting worse.”
“Tsk, you’re getting more and more scheming.” Cheng Huaxing closed the book and placed it back on the shelf. He unscrewed the bottle cap and gulped down half the water in the bottle before slowly making his way to the door.
As he walked, he turned around and said, “Let’s do lunch tomorrow. I’ll take you to a Japanese restaurant.”
“Japanese food.” Bo Chengcheng raised her eyebrow. “Forget it. I might not have time tomorrow. I’ll ask you out when I have time.”
“Are you very busy with work nowadays?”
“I’m managing artistes, what do you think?”
“You seem rather relaxed.” Cheng Huaxing smiled, the flash in his eyes were, oddly, like livewire.
“Busy, get lost.”
“Ok, I’ll get lost then.” Cheng Huaxing relaxed and smiled happily.
This meant she wasn’t angry anymore.
Cheng Huaxing suddenly felt much better. Just as he turned around, the doorbell rang.
Bo Chengcheng had an ominous feeling. She looked up and saw that Cheng Huaxing was already at the door and his hand was on the doorknob.
Stunned, Bo Chengcheng shouted. “Don’t open it!”
Alas, it was too late.
Cheng Huaxing had already pulled the door open. In front of the antique wooden door stood a man with a livid expression.
This was Cheng Huaxing’s first meeting with the man since his return. He paused for a moment and smiled as he prepared to greet him.
However, before he could do so, a heavy punch hit him squarely in the face.
The punch was merciless and landed solidly.
Caught off-guard, Cheng Huaxing stumbled backwards and almost fell to the ground.
Bo Chengcheng was shocked. She stood up immediately and dashed towards them.
Jiang Yeqing was like an enraged beast. Without a word, he strode forward and bent down to grab Cheng Huaxing again.
Bo Chengcheng’s expression changed and she shouted, “Jiang Yeqing! Are you crazy? Stop it!”
Jiang Yeqing did not seem to hear her. He picked the man up and drew his fist back to throw another punch.
However, this time round, Cheng Huaxing was prepared and caught the punch before it landed. Then, the two big men got entangled as they started hitting out at each other.
