Chapter 61: The Vicious Fake Young Master of a Wealthy Family · 61

After dinner, Shi Pei didn’t keep the brothers there to keep her company. Instead, she urged them to head back and rest early.

The moment they put on their coats, wrapped their scarves, and stepped outside, a biting, bone-chilling wind hit them, stinging their faces painfully.

Su Wenyu immediately shrank into his scarf, stuffed both hands into his pockets, and jogged straight into the shuttle cart.

The shuttle cart had the heater on, and Su Wenyu instantly felt much more comfortable. But the door was still open, letting the freezing air outside pour in. Su Wenyu quickly pulled down his scarf and asked Zhou Xu, “Are you taking the cart too? If not, I’m closing the door.”

Zhou Xu knew he was afraid of the cold. He strode over, bent down to get in, and the very first thing he did was shut the door behind him.

The cold air completely sealed off, Su Wenyu finally told the driver up front to go.

There were actually quite a few seats in the shuttle cart—sometimes they even used this vehicle to pick up and drop off guests.

But Zhou Xu refused to sit anywhere else, insisting on squeezing right next to Su Wenyu.

The originally spacious seat was suddenly crowded by Zhou Xu’s tall, broad frame. He spread his long legs out carelessly, immediately crowding Su Wenyu’s legs to the inside and forcing him to shift closer to the window.

Without hesitation, Su Wenyu reached out and slapped his intrusive thigh. “All these seats, and you have to squeeze against me?”

Zhou Xu grabbed his hand in one quick motion, not letting him pull away.

“I just like sitting next to you. What’s wrong? If you’re not happy, you can climb over me and switch seats.” Zhou Xu raised an eyebrow, his expression clearly saying: if Su Wenyu had the guts to switch, he had the guts to just scoot over again.

Su Wenyu tried to pull his hand free, lowering his voice. “How did you become so shameless?”

Zhou Xu chuckled softly at that, leisurely playing with Su Wenyu’s fingers, still not letting him pull his hand back.

Mindful of the driver up front, Zhou Xu didn’t go too far with his actions. He merely warmed up Su Wenyu’s somewhat icy little hand, then tucked both their hands into his own pocket. Warming his hand, he countered, “When have I ever had any shame?”

Su Wenyu: “…”

That statement… he really couldn’t argue with it.

Su Wenyu looked down at their hands, his own trapped in Zhou Xu’s pocket. He tried to pull free a few more times. When he couldn’t, he simply gave up and let him be.

Su Wenyu was the type whose hands and feet were always cold in the summer. Come winter, this constitution meant his hands were ice-cold anywhere outside of heated rooms—sometimes so cold they went stiff. And no matter how many layers he wore, they just wouldn’t warm up.

Zhou Xu, as it happened, was his exact opposite. Zhou Xu was warm everywhere.

Even walking a whole stretch against the freezing wind outside, Zhou Xu’s hands were still warm. Now, holding Su Wenyu’s hand, he was warming it up completely, making Su Wenyu uncharacteristically reluctant to give up that warmth.

But reluctant as he was, the moment the shuttle cart stopped in front of the villa’s courtyard gate, Su Wenyu—afraid the driver might notice their little secret—yanked his hand back the instant Zhou Xu moved to get out.

This time, Zhou Xu didn’t try to hold onto him. Instead, he got out and waited by the side. Once Su Wenyu also got out, he immediately grabbed his hand again and tucked it into his own pocket.

Su Wenyu quickly glanced back at the shuttle cart driver. But the driver had already automatically closed the door and was driving the cart away.

“Don’t worry, no one can see.”

Zhou Xu squeezed his fingers, his brows furrowing slightly. “Why are your hands always so cold?”

“Constitution thing.” Su Wenyu watched their two long shadows stretching beneath the dim streetlights, his hand tucked into the pocket of Zhou Xu’s overcoat to keep warm. No matter how he looked at these two shadows, they just looked… super gay.

His hand warmed, Su Wenyu felt his ears heating up too.

“Alright, it’s just a few steps to the door. Let go.” Not wanting to look at their shadows anymore, Su Wenyu tried to pull his hand out again.

But Zhou Xu’s hand was like a vise—holding him tight without hurting, yet making escape impossible.

“It’s only a few steps. Once we’re inside, I’ll let go.” Zhou Xu’s gaze fell on the tips of Su Wenyu’s ears, the corner of his lips curving slightly. He could tell Su Wenyu wasn’t entirely unaffected by his closeness.

Still claiming he was straight. Zhou Xu knew that was just Su Wenyu’s excuse.

It was just a shame. Zhou Xu could never figure out why Su Wenyu’s attitude towards him had changed so drastically. Before, it had been Su Wenyu trying to climb into his bed.

If he’d known then, he would have just let him do it back in the day. Let him succeed.

Not like now, where their roles had completely flipped, and Zhou Xu had to put in considerable effort just to climb into his bed.

Afraid some other house staff might pass by and see them like this, Su Wenyu—since he couldn’t pull his hand free—quickened his pace and practically dragged Zhou Xu into the villa.

The villa was heated inside. The moment they entered, the chill clinging to them was already dissipating.

Su Wenyu closed the door with one hand. He then tried to pull his hand out of Zhou Xu’s pocket, reminding him, “We’re inside now. You can let go.”

Zhou Xu held his hand—now thoroughly warmed—and looked down, watching Su Wenyu’s arm secretly straining. He couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

When Su Wenyu looked up, wondering why he still hadn’t let go, Zhou Xu used their intertwined hands to press Su Wenyu against the wall by the entryway.

Su Wenyu didn’t even have time to resist. His back hit the wall with a soft thud. Looking up, Zhou Xu’s free hand had already passed his line of sight, pinning him against the wall—a textbook kabedon.

Su Wenyu: “…”

He stared with wide, startled eyes, a look of complete bewilderment on his face.

Zhou Xu’s Adam’s apple bobbed. But in the end, he wasn’t going to actually do anything to Su Wenyu. He just averted his gaze, his own ears reddening slightly. “Don’t look at me like that.”

Su Wenyu: “?”

“How exactly am I looking at you?”

He was the one doing the kabedon—so why was he the one getting all bashful?

Looking at Su Wenyu, all soft and yielding like a little lamb ready to be toyed with, Zhou Xu felt the heater in the house was just way too hot. It was making his whole body restless and heated.

Su Wenyu pushed at him. “First let go and take off your coat. The heater’s up so high in here—aren’t you hot?”

Zhou Xu was hot. But letting Su Wenyu go just like that felt like such a waste.

He hadn’t even managed to steal any advantages yet.

Zhou Xu’s gaze settled on Su Wenyu’s face again. Looking at Su Wenyu’s clear eyes and cheeks flushed from the heating, his Adam’s apple bobbed again.

“I have something I need to ask of you,” Zhou Xu said.

Seeing how serious his face had become, Su Wenyu thought it was something important. “What is it?”

Zhou Xu maintained an expression of complete seriousness and propriety. “Can you check for me—are my lips dried out?”

Su Wenyu: “?”

A bit baffled, Su Wenyu nevertheless moved his gaze to Zhou Xu’s lips. Maybe it was from facing the wind without a scarf, but they did look a little dry.

Zhou Xu urged, “Dry or not?”

Watching how impatient he seemed, Su Wenyu slowly grew a little wary. “Why are you asking me if they’re dry or not?”

Zhou Xu’s eyes fell towards the spot covered by Su Wenyu’s scarf. His voice dropped, deep and husky with rising desire. “I was hoping you could help… moisturize them.”

Zhou Xu’s gaze was direct and completely unveiled. Su Wenyu immediately shrank back, his lower face—nose and all—hiding behind the scarf. Then his free hand slapped right over Zhou Xu’s mouth, covering his nose and lips, shoving his face backward.

He knew exactly what Zhou Xu was trying to do now.

“Shameless!” Su Wenyu cursed, his face red.

Zhou Xu thought Su Wenyu looked absolutely lovely even when he was cursing. He couldn’t resist teasing him a bit more. “You’ve paraded around my room in nothing but your bare butt to scare me—and you still call me shameless?”

Su Wenyu, hand clamped over Zhou Xu’s mouth, still couldn’t shut him up. Now he was even angrier. “I wasn’t bare! I was wearing underwear!”

If 520 hadn’t suggested doing that mission back then, saying the Villain Value would definitely be high, he never would have stripped down to just his underwear, wrapped himself in a bedsheet, and pretended to be a ghost just to scare him.

Now it had become Zhou Xu’s trump card. Every time he brought it up, Su Wenyu felt so guilty he got angry!

Having thoroughly provoked him, Zhou Xu felt even more heated and restless watching Su Wenyu lose his temper.

Zhou Xu pulled his head back just slightly to evade Su Wenyu’s hand covering his mouth. He bargained with Su Wenyu: “If you won’t help moisturize my lips, that’s fine. Then like that night—step on me with your foot.”

Su Wenyu immediately stomped down on his foot.

Zhou Xu didn’t dodge at all, just let him stomp on his foot to vent.

Once Su Wenyu had tired himself out, Zhou Xu looked him in the eye and said, “You know that’s not the place I meant.”

How could Su Wenyu not know what he was referring to?

But what kind of pervert even said things like that?!

Every time Zhou Xu brought this up, Su Wenyu could almost feel the phantom sensation of stepping on him through his pants again. His whole face immediately flushed with embarrassment and anger.

“Are you sick or something?!” Su Wenyu didn’t even phrase it as a question.

Zhou Xu nodded, admitting it. “A sickness of the heart. Only you can cure it.”

Unable to outtalk Zhou Xu and unable to push him away, Su Wenyu was so furious that he simply hooked one arm around Zhou Xu’s neck, forcing his whole face downward. Just when Zhou Xu thought he was about to be kissed, Su Wenyu bit down hard on his cheek.

Su Wenyu didn’t hold back any strength this time. He wanted him to know that even a rabbit would bite when cornered!

Zhou Xu hissed sharply at the pain, the hand braced against the wall behind Su Wenyu suddenly clenching into a fist. But for some reason, he didn’t pull away. He just let Su Wenyu bite his face.

When Su Wenyu finally pulled his left hand out of Zhou Xu’s pocket, shoved him away, and fled upstairs without even taking his coat off—Zhou Xu slowly let out a breath. He reached up to touch his stinging cheek. Two neat little rows of teeth marks.

Good—no blood drawn.

Zhou Xu traced the teeth marks on his face. Thinking about how Su Wenyu had looked, biting him in a fit of rage, he couldn’t help but want to laugh.

Adorable.

Absolutely adorable.

Even biting people in anger, he was this adorable.

Zhou Xu touched the teeth marks on his face again. He scanned the area—no mirror in sight.

So he pulled out his phone, switched the camera to front-facing, and used it to check the teeth marks on his face.

That bite of Su Wenyu’s truly hadn’t held back. Though it didn’t break the skin, the tooth marks were deep and distinct. Tomorrow, the spot would probably even be a bit purple.

Zhou Xu admired the teeth marks for a while, in a great mood. Then, seemingly struck by a thought, he found a few spots by the entryway with better lighting and snapped several selfies with his phone.

Zhou Xu’s photos were casual, taken at bizarre angles, propped up entirely by his strikingly handsome face. The only thing captured with perfect clarity was the teeth marks on his cheek. Anyone looking at the photo would notice them instantly.

After admiring the photos for a bit, Zhou Xu picked the one where the teeth marks looked the best and posted it to his Moments.

[How do I make it up to an adorable little bunny I’ve angered?]

Zhou Xu very slyly set the visibility to Only Shen Yi and Xia Yehang Can See. Posted.

Done showing off his teeth marks and feeling excellent, Zhou Xu put his phone away. He imagined his love rivals, stuck at school, seeing the post and boiling with rage but unable to do anything about it.

Felt pretty good.
