Chapter 17: The Attack Of The Tycoon (17)

Editor: Atlas Studios

Boom

Swoosh

The rain poured down from the sky as the strong wind blew the things on the rooftop, making whooshing sounds.

Ye Chen was sitting on the ground with his back leaning against the wall.

Did you really think that Big Sister Chuzheng would like you?

Chuzheng was just fooling around with you and yet you thought you ant sothing to her.

How funny! Take a look at yourself! Hahaha!

Did you think she’ll notice you?

‘Notice ?…’

Ye Chen ice-cold fingers touched his forehead and under the rain, the darkness seeped in and engulfed his entire being.

This was the world he knew.

Dark and cold.

Peng

The door to the rooftop was kicked open and Ye Chen was sitting right beside the door. As such, the person coming in could see him in an instant.

“Ye Chen.”

A familiar voice was heard. She did not bring an umbrella with her and had walked up to the rooftop, causing the rain to drench her instantly.

She took off her school uniform jacket and used it to cover his head.

But Ye Chen swatted the clothing away causing a part of the clothing to hit Chuzheng’s face.

Ye Chen stood up with the support of the wall as his voice sounded very hoarse and fierce. “Ji Chuzheng, why are you acting so nice to ? How long do you still want to play with ? Are you very happy to see like this?”

“Ji Tongtong did it.”

Chuzheng’s cold and flat voice broke the rhythm of the raindrop sounds as it fell clearly into Ye Chen’s ear.

“I didn’t do it.” Ji Tongtong had created trouble for her behind her back again. ‘She even fooled Ye Chen? Why did she do that? Was she trying to make her repeat her mission again and again? How evil! Bastard!’

Ye Chen leaned against the wall as his eyes were fixed on her.

‘She didn’t do it…’

‘She didn’t do it…’

These four words continuously repeated itself in his head.

Chuzheng bent down to pick out the clothes before putting it over Ye Chen’s head again.

The teenage girl leaned very close to him and it was so close that he could feel the warmth of her body. Feeling awkward, Ye Chen yanked her jacket down to his head and walked inside.

He sat on the staircase which was sheltered and Chuzheng pulled his arm. “Get up.”

However, Ye Chen refused to move.

Chuzheng bent down and her hot breath breathed onto Ye Chen’s face as she threatened him fiercely, “If you don’t get up, go out and stay at the rooftop.”

Ye Chen:

Ye Chen seed to have tolerated it for a long ti before saying, “I have no energy.”

He had already used up all of his energy to stand up just now, but he did not want to look too pathetic in front of her and cause her to look down on him.

However, her words seed to have suddenly sucked all of his energy out of his body and now, he did not even want to move one finger of his.

Chuzheng was speechless. “…”

‘How could a man be so weak?’

In the end, Chuzheng found a way to get Ye Chen down and sent him to the hospital.

Ye Chen was hit, drenched by the rain and even ntally hurt, leading to him falling asleep on his way to the hospital.

It was not until the next day at nine in the morning that Ye Chen woke up.

“You’re awake.”

Ye Chen’s head was still a little groggy and he could only see a blurry figure.

“Ji Chuzheng?”

Chuzheng sat on his side as her voice sounded as peaceful as water. “Your injuries have been dealt with.”

Ye Chen wanted to sit up but his body was too weak. He tried a few tis but to no avail and hence he looked towards Chuzheng who was sitting steadily on her seat.

Chuzheng was stumped.

‘Why are you looking at ?’

‘What’s there to see?’

‘Stop looking!’

Ye Chen forced himself to say, “…Could you help sit up straight?”

Chuzheng silently put down her phone and supported Ye Chen to sit up before stuffing two pillows behind his back so he could lean on it. “Am I a friend?”

Ye Chen:

‘If it wasn’t for her, would I beco like this? Yet, she still has the guts to ask if she was a friend?’

Chuzheng saw that he did not answer and prepared to leave but Ye Chen suddenly grabbed her wrist.

“Ji Chuzheng.”

“Let go.”

Yet, not only did Ye Chen not let go, the grip on her wrist tightened, however, his energy at that ti was too weak and Chuzheng easily broke free. Ye Chen wanted to stop her and his body leaned forward slightly causing him to fall into Chuzheng’s embrace instead.

Ye Chen probably had not expected that to happen and let go of her in a panic. He lay back on his bed as the expression on his face looked very unnatural with his ear turning especially red.

Chuzheng glanced at him calmly before taking a look at his head. His hair was disheveled and looked especially soft. She wanted to touch it, touch it, really wanted to touch it…

She raised her hand carefully…

Ye Chen seed to have noticed her movent and turned around to look at her.

Chuzheng imdiately touched her fringe instead before sitting on the chair beside him and took out her phone to play.

Ye Chen sat for a while before saying awkwardly, “I am in the wrong for misunderstanding you.”

Soone had told him that she was waiting for him at the rooftop, but when he had reached, it was that bunch of people waiting there.

“Hmm.” Chuzheng nodded, showing that she understood.

Ye Chen:

‘Offering a treat to an unappreciative audience!’

After that, Ye Chen did not speak to Chuzheng anymore.

When the doctor ca in to check on his condition, Chuzheng was called to go outside.

“Your friend’s condition doesn’t seem to be doing well.”

“Is he going to die?” asked Chuzheng expressionlessly.

The doctor gave a helpless expression. “It’s not that bad, but his health is very poor. He has malnutrition and he overworked his body. If he doesn’t recuperate properly, his body will suffer in the future.”

“Can you contact his family?” The doctor had been talking for a long ti but Chuzheng did not give a single reaction. Hence, the doctor thought that this probably had nothing to do with her.

“There’s no need.”

Chuzheng had the doctor give him the best treatnt regardless of the cost. After all, she was never scared of spending money.

The doctor was stumped. She is just a student? She had willingly spent so much money on him, there must be sothing going on between them!

Chuzheng helped Ye Chen to apply for leave and as such, he was forced to accept the best treatnt in the hospital.

In the end, Ye Chen could not take it anymore and strongly requested to be discharged. After asking the doctor, Chuzheng agreed to his request.

When the nurse ca to give the receipt for the bill, Chuzheng was outside and hence Ye Chen took a glance at it. The sum on the bill was so big that his hand trembled a little.

“Let’s go.”

Chuzheng ca back and casually stuffed the receipt into her school bag.

Ye Chen had applied for many days of leave. When he ca back to school, all of those strange rumors were long gone.

Ye Chen had accidentally seen San Mao and the others dragging people into the toilet to teach them a lesson once after school.

After school, Ye Chen was waiting for Chuzheng downstairs.

“Tuition?”

Ye Chen shook his head and handed Chuzheng a piece of paper.

It was an IOU.

“I will repay you the money in the future,” said Ye Chen.

“There’s no need.”

Ye Chen furrowed his eyebrows. “I don’t have any reason to take your money. I don’t have tuition today so I’ll take my leave first.”

Ye Chen seed to be scared that Chuzheng would return the IOU back to him and he quickly walked away.

Chuzheng took a look at the IOU before stuffing it into her school bag.

“Big Sister Chuzheng!”

“Big Sister Chuzheng!”

San Mao and the others ran towards her.

“Big Sister Chuzheng, there will be a thunderstorm tomorrow, why did you ask us to stare at this?”

“Find a way to bring Ji Tongtong to the rooftop.” Chuzheng made her words short and simple.

“Ji Tongtong?” San Mao grew a little scared. “Big Sister Chuzheng, she’s your younger sister. If we were to offend her, the Ji Family… would never let us off.”

‘You are not scared but we are scared!’

“Use your brain.”

“…Big Sister Chuzheng, if we could use our brain, our examination score would not be so bad. We won’t even need to be gangsters,” said San Mao.

Chuzheng was speechless.

She actually had no words to rebut them.

“Ask her out in ng Ran’s na.”

San Mao and the others suddenly ca to a realization. “Understood!”

Chuzheng warned them, “Take note of ng Ran.”

‘Otherwise, they would be fooled by them even before they could dupe Ji Tongtong to the rooftop.’

‘A bunch of idiots.’
