MTL - Don’t Give You a Bite-v2 Chapter 27
On the way back from camping, everyone was a little lazy, but the itinerary arranged by the winter camp did not keep everyone idle. The bus directly took everyone to a nearby farm for them to pick strawberries.
Chi Le was walking in the strawberry field with a bamboo basket, rolled up the trouser legs of his jeans, and a few dried strawberry leaves were stuck to the sleeves of his sweater. He stooped down expressionlessly and picked a strawberry and threw it into the bamboo basket. The voice was extremely helpless, "Hey, why are there still strawberries in winter?"
Because he was camping on the top of the mountain yesterday, he had no chance to practice basketball. Seeing that the agreed game time was coming, he planned to go to the nearby basketball court with Sheng Zhuo to practice after returning to the dormitory, but he was brought here to pick strawberries , he was a little skeptical about life.
Jian Cheng laughed at him beside him, "When you ate strawberries in winter, why didn't you ask why there are strawberries in winter?"
Chi Le didn't want to hear it, so he stuffed a strawberry into his mouth, trying to block his mouth, and when he turned around, he saw Sheng Zhuo staring at him with an inexplicably cold expression.
Chi Le blinked, followed Sheng Zhuo's gaze to look at his hand, hesitated for a moment, and tentatively picked up a cleaned strawberry and stuffed it into Sheng Zhuo's mouth.
Sheng Zhuo ate the strawberries, his expression softened a bit, but his expression was still a little cold.
Chi Le pursed his lips, washed another big and red strawberry and fed it to him, Sheng Zhuo not only looked good this time, but also took the initiative to pick a few strawberries and put them in his bamboo basket.
Chi Le murmured "childish" silently in his heart, he could see that Sheng Zhuo just had to have one more than Jian Cheng!
Chi Le is a little worried, what should I do? The future daughter-in-law seems to be a little jealous.
After picking strawberries, it was already evening, and everyone was covered with a lot of dust. The first thing Chi Le did when he returned home was to take a shower. After taking a shower, he sighed comfortably, and sat down with a bowl of strawberries picked by himself. Go to the chair and eat strawberries.
When it was Sheng Zhuo's turn to take a bath, Chi Le inexplicably remembered the scene when he got up from the hot spring yesterday, his cheeks became hot, and he quickly lowered his head to cover it.
Chi Le didn't dare to think about it anymore. In order to avoid staring at Sheng Zhuo's abdominal muscles again, he resolutely took out his book, put the strawberries aside, and lay down on the table to write his winter vacation homework seriously.
Sheng Zhuo glanced at him with a smile in his eyes, and took a change of clothes into the bathroom.
When Sheng Zhuo came out, Chi Le had already put down his book and was leaning against the table in a daze.
Sheng Zhuo brushed his hair and walked to the table, lowered his head and glanced casually, and found that Chi Le only wrote a few words, and those words became more and more scribbled as they went on, and the person who wrote them could be seen from the strokes. Gradually become irritable mood.
Sheng Zhuo frowned slightly, a trace of doubt flashed in his heart.
If it happened only once, he wouldn't think it was strange, but Chi Le was basically like this during the winter camp. As long as he sat alone at the desk, he would give up within five minutes after picking up the book. Up to now, Chi Le's winter homework has not been done. There is no progress, Sheng Zhuo can't help but think about it.
He used to hear that Chi Le didn't like homework, and the teacher didn't seem to accept Chi Le's homework. At that time, he didn't think much about it, but now that he thought about it, he felt strange. The teacher wouldn't accept Chi Le's homework for no reason. Homework, unless Chi Le has a reasonable reason not to hand in homework.
Sheng Zhuo tapped lightly on the table, and asked thoughtfully, "Do you have learning phobia?"
Chi Le's body froze visibly, he paused, then raised his head and smiled at him, and said in a vague voice, "Maybe."
Sheng Zhuo thought about it carefully, and felt wrong, because Chi Le didn't do this at all when he was studying at school, it seemed that he only did this when he was studying alone in private. If Chi Le's academic performance was affected by this reason, then everything can be explained It's clear, no wonder Chi Le's grades have been stagnant.
He still wanted to ask again, but Chi Le had already thrown the book back into the bag, turned around and went to the bed, exuding a sense of despondency.
Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Sheng Zhuo temporarily put away his doubts.
Chi Le lay motionless on the bed, as if his energy had been sucked dry by those homework, he didn't know what he was thinking, his whole body was listless, and when Sheng Zhuo went to turn off the light, he found that he was already fast asleep.
Chi Le was lying on his side, half prone on the pillow, his eyes were closed, his eyelashes covered a small shadow, his hair was softly hanging down his cheeks, his neckline was slanted, revealing a small piece of collarbone, his skin was clean and fair, like porcelain, with down feathers It was hung on the waist, and the thin ankles were exposed, which looked as white as jade under the smudged light.
Sheng Zhuo's eyes froze slightly, and he stared at the spot for two seconds.
With one arm under his body, Chi Le frowned slightly, not sleeping peacefully.
Sheng Zhuo stretched out his hand and carefully turned him over, gently stretched his arms on his stomach, then pulled up the quilt and tucked him in.
Fang Younian passed by the door, saw this scene, and stared at him dumbfounded.
He has known Sheng Zhuo for so many years, but he has never seen Sheng Zhuo so gentle. For some reason, he always feels that he has discovered something extraordinary.
Sheng Zhuo turned around, met his surprised gaze, walked over and closed the door expressionlessly.
Fang Younian: "..."
When Chi Le woke up, the sun was shining brightly in the room. He turned over and found that Sheng Zhuo was not in the room. There were noisy voices coming from downstairs, which seemed to be very lively. He couldn't help being a little puzzled. Slippers go downstairs.
He was wearing a loose white sweater, with fluffy hair, and walked down the stairs step by step. The sound of footsteps passed, and the sound downstairs suddenly became quiet.
Chi Le was even more puzzled, so he couldn't help speeding up his pace. When he reached the first floor, Jian Cheng suddenly jumped out from the side, and the others jumped out after him, laughing in unison: "Happy birthday, Lele. "
Chi Le, who originally thought it was a thief in the house, "..."
He glanced at the calendar and realized that today is his birthday. He smiled embarrassedly and thanked everyone.
Sheng Zhuo came out of the kitchen with a bowl of noodles and put it on the dining table, "Come and eat noodles, birthday meal is at noon."
Chi Le walked over quickly, looked at the longevity noodles with poached eggs in the bowl, his eyes were bent into two small crescents, and looked expectantly at Sheng Zhuo, "Did you cook it?"
"Yeah." Sheng Zhuo handed him the chopsticks and smiled, "Jian Cheng taught me how to cook it. How about you taste it?"
Chi Le opened the chair and sat down, couldn't wait to take a sip, and took another sip of the soup, "It's very delicious."
The taste is unexpectedly good, moderately salty and refreshing in the morning.
Sheng Zhuo looked at him with a smile, bent down and whispered in his ear, "Happy birthday, little birthday boy."
Chi Le's ears felt hot, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising.
Xiaoshouxing is really happy now~
At noon, before everyone started preparing the birthday meal, Chi Jindong sent someone to deliver a sumptuous lunch, and there was also a huge birthday cake with the words 'Happy Birthday Son' on it, which caused everyone to cheer.
After a lively lunch, everyone surrounded Chi Le and sang birthday songs. Surrounded by so many people, Chi Le scratched his head in embarrassment, and blew out the candles without making a wish.
He cut the cake, handed the first piece to Sheng Zhuo, and divided the rest amidst everyone's booing, and sent the uneatable ones to Class B next door.
Today it was Chen Yunzhou's turn to be on duty. He was sent to deliver cakes next door, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhuang Xinchun standing outside the door, looking like he was about to ring the doorbell.
Chen Yunzhou was taken aback, "Why are you here?"
Zhuang Xinchun looked behind him, saw the bustling scene in the room and Chi Le surrounded by everyone, a gloomy glint flashed in his eyes, but a slightly cramped smile appeared on his face, "I heard from Fang Younian that you There is going to be a basketball game today, I happened to pass by nearby, and I wanted to take a look, I didn't expect you to be so lively here... What are you doing?"
"Today is Chi Le's birthday, and we are celebrating his birthday." Holding the cake, Chen Yunzhou hesitated and said, "...you go in first."
He knew that there was something dirty between Chi Le and Zhuang Xinchun, but he didn't know the specific situation, but he felt that Chi Le probably didn't welcome Zhuang Xinchun's arrival, so his expression was a little embarrassing.
Zhuang Xinchun raised his foot and walked in.
Fang Younian didn't know that Zhuang Xinchun was coming, so he was taken aback when he saw Zhuang Xinchun.
A few days ago, Zhuang Xinchun called him. After overhearing that Sheng Zhuo and Chi Le were both at the winter camp, he called him every day to inquire about the situation, and kept reminding him about the basketball game. He was a little impatient, so he casually said He said that today is the comparison. At that time, he didn't know that today was Chi Le's birthday, let alone that Zhuang Xinchun was coming.
He didn't know why he felt a little embarrassed, but Zhuang Xinchun came all the time, and there was no way to drive him out.
In the past, he saw that Zhuang Xinchun liked Sheng Zhuo, and he wanted to make a match, so he allowed Zhuang Xinchun to approach Sheng Zhuo in his name, but now that he has noticed some of Sheng Zhuo's thoughts, he naturally won't mess with the couple, anyway, he is He won't match Sheng Zhuo and Zhuang Xinchun again, and after getting along with him for this period of time, he has already discovered that Chi Le is completely different from the bullying upstart that Zhuang Xinchun said, so he can't help but feel a little weird in his heart.
Chi Le took a bite of the cake, looked up and saw Zhuang Xinchun walking towards him, his expression turned cold at the first sight, and the cake in his mouth suddenly became less sweet.
Zhuang Xinchun walked up to him, pretending not to see his cold and disgusted gaze, she glanced at Sheng Zhuo who was standing beside him, raised her smiling face, and said softly, "Lele, is your birthday today? I'm sorry, I forgot, I would have brought you a present if I had known about it, I remember you used to like painting, why don't I give you a picture book next time, it will be your birthday."
Chi Le's brows twitched instantly, feeling disgusted.
Sheng Zhuo's expression moved slightly, and he glanced at Zhuang Xinchun hesitantly. He remembered that in the painting class last time, Chi Le was obviously not interested in painting at all. How could Zhuang Xinchun say that he liked painting before?
Fang Younian walked over, stood between Chi Le and Zhuang Xinchun calmly, and asked slightly displeased: "Xinchun, why didn't you say hello in advance when you came over?"
Zhuang Xinchun showed a cautious look, and said softly like a little rabbit that is easily startled: "I came here, isn't it time to disturb you? Then I'll leave now, this time I happened to be passing by, and I decided to come here temporarily." , I am really sorry to cause you trouble."
He made a gesture to turn around and was about to leave, Fang Younian suddenly felt guilty, grabbed him quickly, and scratched his head in embarrassment, "I didn't mean that..."
He didn't know what to do, so he subconsciously looked at Jian Cheng who was standing aside. These days, everyone had to find Jian Cheng as a teaching assistant when they had something to do, and he was a little used to it.
Jian Cheng glared at him, walked forward, didn't even look at Zhuang Xinchun, dragged Chi Le to the side, "Lele, come and see the birthday present everyone gave you."
Others gathered around one after another and handed the prepared gifts to Chi Le, and the atmosphere became lively again.
Zhuang Xinchun gritted his teeth secretly, and looked at Chi Le from an angle that Fang Younian couldn't see.
He was jealous of Chi Le since he was a child. Why did his classmates like Chi Le so much? Why did Chi Le's family have money? Why did Chi Le's father love him so much? Everything about Chi Le made him jealous, including his academic performance. Chi Le is here, and it is not his turn to participate in the math competition.
There is no need to ask the reason for this kind of jealousy, even if Chi Le treated him very well at the beginning, even if Chi Le once sincerely regarded him as a friend, even if Chi Le once shared a lot of things with him, this kind of jealousy will continue to grow and cannot be dissipated .
But... now everything has changed.
Zhuang Xinchun slightly raised the corners of her lips, and a cold smile filled her eyes.
Now, the qualification for the competition belongs to him, and the love of his classmates belongs to him...Sheng Zhuo must also belong to him!
Zhuang Xinchun remembered her purpose of coming here, raised her prettiest smile, and walked towards Sheng Zhuo, but before he approached, Sheng Zhuo turned around indifferently, as if she didn't see him, walked over and brought Chi Le up upstairs.
Zhuang Xinchun looked at Sheng Zhuo and Chi Le unwillingly, he couldn't understand why they were inseparable even though they were enemies a few months ago!
He gritted his teeth, hesitated for a moment, and followed them up the stairs quietly.
Chi Le held the gifts from everyone and pushed open the door, and then he was stunned. His bed was full of Lego, all of which he liked.
He turned his head to look at Sheng Zhuo in disbelief, "These..."
"Gift." Sheng Zhuo walked in holding his shoulders, "Do you like it?"
Chi Le blinked in astonishment, walked to the bed step by step, and glanced at those Lego.
The Lego here is the latest model, and the price of one Lego is more than the sum of all the red envelopes he gave Sheng Zhuofa during this period, and there are so many here, how much does it cost? Where did Sheng Zhuo get so much money?
Chi Le stared at these LEGOs, his eyes turned red. In order to celebrate his birthday, his future daughter-in-law must have secretly worked to earn money by herself, saving for a long time!
Chi Le imagined how Sheng Zhuo was like a poor little cabbage trying to save money by himself in the cold winter, and was so moved that his heart ached so much.
What a pitiful daughter-in-law in the world!
Such a good daughter-in-law, how did he meet her! ah! He is really the luckiest Alpha in the world!
Chi Le turned around and hugged Sheng Zhuo excitedly, his voice choked up slightly, "You must have been working secretly for a long time to buy these gifts."
Sheng Zhuo didn't know what he was imagining, and he wanted to explain helplessly, but he felt the softness and warmth in his arms, but he couldn't bear to let go, so he didn't speak, but stretched out his hands to hug him tighter.
Forget it, explain later, they still have a lot of time anyway.
Zhuang Xinchun stood in the corridor, staring at the open door, looking in disbelief at the two people standing there embracing each other without any scruples, their eyes were only focused on each other, no one noticed him at all.
His eyes gradually deepened, and an indescribable hatred and jealousy filled his heart. His fingers pinched the palm of his hand fiercely, and his eyes became vicious.
Ever since he knew Sheng Zhuo's identity, he had pursued Sheng Zhuo with all his heart for two full years, but Chi Le had been against Sheng Zhuo for two full years. Why did he chase after the Alpha for two years and couldn't get it? But can you get it?
Zhuang Xinchun bit her lower lip tightly, forcing herself not to rush over to separate them.
In the beginning, he really got close to Sheng Zhuo because of Sheng Zhuo's identity background and Alpha level, but after getting along with him for two years, he has long since really liked Sheng Zhuo, and he has never seen such an outstanding Sheng Zhuo. Alpha is simply his dream partner, he definitely doesn't want to miss Sheng Zhuo! Because he knew that he might never meet such an outstanding person again in his life.
The familiar jealousy and unwillingness spread in Zhuang Xinchun's heart. This feeling has not appeared for many years. He originally thought that he would never be jealous of Chi Le again.
He stared at Chi Le and sneered coldly.
"What are you standing here for?"
Fang Younian walked up the steps and was caught off guard by Zhuang Xinchun's eyes.
Since we met, Zhuang Xinchun has always been innocent in front of him like a blank sheet of paper, but Zhuang Xinchun's eyes now are very different from usual. Fang Younian couldn't tell what was wrong, but he suddenly felt as if he had never known him before. Just like Zhuang Xinchun, a sense of absurd strangeness appeared in an instant.
Zhuang Xinchun quickly returned to normal, and in the blink of an eye, she showed a gentle and harmless smile, and said softly, "I wanted to find the bathroom, but I got lost."
Fang Younian almost thought it was his own illusion just now, he frowned, and took Zhuang Xinchun to the bathroom downstairs.
Zhuang Xinchun glanced back, and the doors of Sheng Zhuo and Chi Le's rooms had already been closed.
What will they do in the house?
Zhuang Xinchun bit her lower lip tightly, resisting the urge to rush in, and lowered her eyes to cover the darkness in her eyes.
At this time, Chi Le and Sheng Zhuo were in the house... dismantling Lego.
Sheng Zhuo looked at Chi Le who was about to laugh into a flower sitting on the bed, and pressed the center of his eyebrows helplessly, always feeling that his position in Chi Le's heart seemed to be instantly downgraded by these Lego.
"I like it that much?"
Chi Le nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and said earnestly: "But next time, don't spend your money carelessly. You just need to say happy birthday to me and I will be very happy. It is not easy for you to earn money." , don’t buy me such an expensive gift.”
Sheng Zhuo found that he was still staring at the Lego in his hand when he was talking to him, so he couldn't help but pursed his lower lip in dissatisfaction, and responded in a low voice.
Chi Le raised his head and glanced at his little jealous daughter-in-law, as if he understood his eyes, and comforted him: "Don't worry, you and Lego fell into the water at the same time, I will definitely save you."
Sheng Zhuo: "???"
