Chapter 63: The Vicious Fake Young Master of a Wealthy Family · 63

Last night, the only people staying in the small villa had been Zhou Xu and Su Wenyu.

Where those teeth marks on Zhou Xu’s face came from—didn’t even need to be thought about. It was obviously Su Wenyu who’d bitten him!

Su Wenyu truly hadn’t expected Zhou Xu to actually not fear their parents’ questioning, showing up at the main residence with the teeth marks on his face. Now that Mom had sent this message, even though Su Wenyu hadn’t been in the wrong initially, looking at this message still somehow made him feel inexplicably guilty.

Blame himself. He shouldn’t have bitten Zhou Xu on the face last night, giving Zhou Xu something to hold over his head.

He should have just kicked Zhou Xu right in his third leg, making him never dare to stare at Su Wenyu’s mouth again suggesting he needed “moisturizing.”

It was rare for Su Wenyu to be angered to this extent by Zhou Xu. Sitting on the sofa grinding his teeth, he was already plotting how to get even later. At the same time, he was thinking about how to reply to Shi Pei’s message.

Over on Shi Pei’s side, seeing he hadn’t responded, she sent another question mark.

Then came a message from Zhou Xu, full of implication: [Sweet something]

Su Wenyu stared at the words “Sweet something” for a moment. He understood.

Zhou Xu had probably made up some excuse to Shi Pei, not saying the teeth marks were from him.

That’s why Shi Pei had messaged asking what the deal was with the marks on Zhou Xu’s face, instead of directly asking why Su Wenyu had bitten Zhou Xu for no good reason.

If he agreed to give Zhou Xu a little sweet something now, Zhou Xu would surely come up with a perfectly legitimate reason to clear Su Wenyu’s name in this matter.

But Su Wenyu thought about it and realized: if Zhou Xu could threaten him with this “sweet something” once, he could threaten him a second time.

There would be many more missions ahead—missions whose nature even he didn’t know yet. If every mission left him with something for Zhou Xu to hold over his head, would he have to bend to Zhou Xu’s threats every single time?

Last night Zhou Xu had wanted him to kiss him. What next? Would he start thinking about things inappropriate for children?!

Su Wenyu stared at the words “Sweet something” and let out a cold laugh.

Trying to use this to threaten him?

Dream on.

Su Wenyu tapped directly back into his chat with his mother and replied to Shi Pei: [I bit him. As for why, ask him.]

So he bit him. What’s there to be afraid of admitting?

He’d like to see whether Zhou Xu dared to explain why he got bitten!

After sending the message, Su Wenyu felt refreshed and carefree. As expected—just thicken your skin a little, and nothing was unsolvable.

After Shi Pei received that message, she didn’t reply again.

Su Wenyu wasn’t anxious anymore either. In a great mood, he headed to the gym, got on the treadmill, set the speed, put on his earphones, and started jogging.

After about half an hour, Su Wenyu’s breathing gradually grew heavier, and his stamina began to flag. He adjusted the speed down to a brisk walk, then a slow walk. Only once the heart rate on his sports watch had dropped did he stop the treadmill. He went to the bar counter in the living room to pour himself a glass of water.

While drinking, Zhou Xu came back.

The first thing Su Wenyu saw was those bluish-purple teeth marks—so eye-catching it was impossible not to notice. Then he saw the insulated bag Zhou Xu was carrying.

Zhou Xu took off his coat and hung it on the rack. Looking up and seeing Su Wenyu sitting at the bar counter drinking water, he let out a heavy, sudden sigh.

Su Wenyu made no comment on the sigh, only tracking him from the corner of his eye.

After sighing, Zhou Xu didn’t say anything either. He just changed his shoes, came inside, and placed the insulated bag on the bar counter in front of Su Wenyu. “Here.”

Su Wenyu glanced at the insulated bag. “What’s that?”

“Breakfast.” Seeing Su Wenyu wasn’t moving, Zhou Xu simply rolled up his sleeves and started pulling out the containers from the insulated bag, layer by layer.

They were all delicately prepared Chinese-style breakfast items, exactly to Su Wenyu’s taste.

Su Wenyu wasn’t about to skip breakfast just because he was angry at Zhou Xu. So once Zhou Xu had opened the containers, Su Wenyu very naturally reached out and grabbed a beef-stuffed pancake to eat.

But even while eating, Su Wenyu still refused to give Zhou Xu a pleasant look.

One cheek stuffed full like a chipmunk, he side-eyed Zhou Xu. Only when his gaze landed on the teeth marks on Zhou Xu’s face did Su Wenyu give a soft hmph and look away.

Zhou Xu poured himself a glass of water, sitting down on the other side of Su Wenyu. Resting his chin on his hand, he watched him. “You bit me—so why are you the one who’s mad?”

Su Wenyu swallowed the food in his mouth. “You know exactly why I bit you.”

Zhou Xu: “I only wanted you to give me a kiss.”

Su Wenyu hadn’t expected him to still dare bring that up. He immediately glared at him. “I told you, I’m not gay.”

Zhou Xu still didn’t believe him.

Not gay, yet he’d tried to climb into his bed before, and gone to his room bare-skinned pretending to be a ghost to scare him. Who’d believe that.

Even if Su Wenyu tried to explain he’d only done it to disgust Zhou Xu by pretending to be gay, Zhou Xu believed that even less.

There were so many ways to disgust someone. Why pretend to be gay? If he truly was straight, that wouldn’t just disgust Zhou Xu—it’d disgust himself too. Where was the logic in that?

It was just that Zhou Xu, no matter what, could never pry Su Wenyu’s mouth open to get an answer as to why his attitude toward him had suddenly made a complete 180.

“Alright, I know I was wrong. I won’t dare use this to threaten you again.” Zhou Xu refilled his glass of water for him, admitting fault. “Would Young Master Su, in his great magnanimity, forgive me just this once?”

Su Wenyu looked at the teeth marks on his face, hmph-ing twice. He didn’t say he forgave him, nor did he say he didn’t.

But when Zhou Xu watched him drink the glass of water he’d poured, he understood that Su Wenyu wasn’t going to hold this against him.

Though last night’s attempt to steal a kiss hadn’t worked out, Zhou Xu hadn’t come out at a loss either. He’d gotten teeth marks out of it. Tomorrow afternoon when they returned to school, he could flaunt them a bit in front of his two love rivals.

Comparing the progress of the three pursuing Su Wenyu, Zhou Xu still felt his side was progressing the fastest.

At the very least, Zhou Xu felt Su Wenyu wouldn’t bite the other two like this.

At this thought, Zhou Xu’s mood became even better.

Out of the corner of his eye, Su Wenyu caught him touching the teeth marks, the corner of his lips occasionally curving up in a smile. He felt Zhou Xu really did have a bit of a pervert in him.

He picked up another piece of pancake, asking as if casually: “Those teeth marks on your face—how’d you explain them?”

Zhou Xu glanced at him. “Curious?”

Su Wenyu immediately looked away, stubborn. “Say it or don’t.”

If he admitted he wanted to know, Zhou Xu would definitely demand some sweet something again. Su Wenyu wasn’t about to indulge him.

Zhou Xu deliberately dangled it in front of him. “Fine then. If you don’t want to know, forget it.”

With that, Zhou Xu simply tidied up the bar counter a little, turned, and headed upstairs. Not a single word of explanation.

Su Wenyu silently chanted to himself several times, “Curiosity killed the cat,” before managing to suppress that bit of curiosity.

Say it or don’t. It wasn’t like he really wanted to know anyway.

–

At noon, Su Wenyu still had lunch in the small villa, the food delivered by a staff member from the main residence.

When it was cold, Su Wenyu didn’t want to go out. Zhou Xu kept him company.

But in the evening, Su Duanhong came back from his business trip. Dinner was a rare chance for the family to gather once every half-month. Su Wenyu had no choice but to wrap his scarf tightly, bundle himself up warmly, and head to the main residence for dinner.

When heading out, Zhou Xu followed beside him and tried to hold his hand, but one glare from Su Wenyu sent that hand back.

At the main residence for dinner, Su Duanhong saw the bold, unmistakable teeth marks on Zhou Xu’s face and immediately goggled in shock. “How did that happen?”

Su Wenyu kept his head down, eating his congee, not making a sound.

Shi Pei let out a dismissive “Ah,” placing a piece of greens into Su Duanhong’s bowl. “I already asked about it at noon. It’s no big deal—just the two kids roughhousing and playing around.”

Su Duanhong didn’t understand. “Roughhousing?”

Shi Pei nodded. “You wouldn’t get it. Don’t ask.”

Su Wenyu’s ears were practically pricked, desperately wishing his dad would press a few more questions. He was the person involved, and even he didn’t get it!

But Su Duanhong and Shi Pei had been an old married couple for so many years. One look from Shi Pei and he knew he shouldn’t ask in front of the two kids. So he simply let it go.

Scratching his head internally in frustrated curiosity, Su Wenyu still ended up not knowing what excuse Zhou Xu had made up.

The next afternoon, after packing up, Su Wenyu took the car back to school with Zhou Xu.

The teeth marks on Zhou Xu’s face were still clearly visible. After glancing at them a few times, Su Wenyu couldn’t hold back anymore. “You’re just going back to school like that?”

Zhou Xu raised an eyebrow. “Mhm, what about it?”

Su Wenyu turned his head to look out the window, muttering quietly, “Couldn’t you put a couple of Band-Aids on? What if other people see?”

Zhou Xu was in a great mood. “If they see, I’ll just say you bit me.”

Su Wenyu immediately whipped his head back to glare at him.

Zhou Xu: “What? Dared to bite but don’t dare to own it?”

Su Wenyu: “…Just see if you dare to say it.”

Su Wenyu kept underestimating the depths of Zhou Xu’s shamelessness time and time again. He’d assumed Zhou Xu would at least cover it up somewhat once they got to school. Who knew that the moment he got out of the car, without even a scarf wrapped around his neck, he’d march right into the dormitory building with those bold teeth marks on full display.

There were a lot of people in the dorm building on Sunday afternoons. Plenty of them recognized Zhou Xu. When their eyes landed on the teeth marks on his face, they all couldn’t help but stare wide-eyed.

Walking behind Zhou Xu, Su Wenyu even heard someone murmuring: “His girlfriend must’ve bitten him, right? Who else would bite that spot?”

“Leaving teeth marks to stake a claim? That’s a first… shouldn’t a normal person leave kiss marks on the neck?”

“In winter you’re wearing too many layers, so the neck isn’t visible.”

“Oh, makes sense. Biting the face definitely makes it way more obvious.”

Su Wenyu: “…”

Spend enough time with scoundrels and you pick up their ways. Apparently, the students living in the same dorm building as Zhou Xu weren’t that normal either.

With a complicated expression, Su Wenyu returned to his dorm room. Zhou Xu was already there. Xia Yehang and Shen Yi seemed to be talking about something.

The moment they heard Su Wenyu’s footsteps, all three turned to look at him simultaneously.

Su Wenyu paused mid-step. He had a bad feeling about this.

Sure enough, seeing him arrive, Zhou Xu chuckled lightly. “They don’t believe the teeth marks on my face were from you. Care to explain to them?”

Su Wenyu: “…”

He ground his back molars. His teeth were itching again.

Ever since Xia Yehang had seen the selfie of the teeth marks on Zhou Xu’s Moments, he’d been so jealous and envious he couldn’t sleep at night—two nights of terrible sleep.

Now seeing Su Wenyu arrive, he immediately rushed over, shoving his own face right in front of Su Wenyu.

Staring at the handsome face suddenly way too close, Su Wenyu instinctively leaned back a little, baffled. “What are you doing?”

Xia Yehang: “I’m too jealous of him. Bite me one too, won’t you?”

Su Wenyu: “…”

Exasperated, he reached out and pushed Xia Yehang’s face away, the tips of his ears turning red. “Zhou Xu having no shame is one thing. You don’t want any either?”

Hearing this, Xia Yehang immediately shoved his face right back. “If throwing away my face means you’ll give me a bite, then I really don’t want it.”

He even said very considerately, “I just washed it. Scrubbed with soap, super clean.”

Xia Yehang was so close that Su Wenyu could smell the faint scent of soap coming from his cheek.

It took Su Wenyu a lot of restraint to suppress the urge to smack Xia Yehang right in the face. He sidestepped him and returned to his own spot. “Don’t go learning the bad stuff and ignore the good!”

“Learning the good stuff won’t get you to bite me.” Xia Yehang followed after him, a little aggrieved. As Su Wenyu set down his bag and took off his coat, Xia Yehang leaned close to his ear and whispered, “And it’s not just me who washed my face. I saw Shen Yi secretly wash his too. He definitely wants you to bite him too.”

Su Wenyu met Shen Yi’s gaze—who had clearly overheard Xia Yehang and wasn’t denying it. He fell silent.

Su Wenyu truly didn’t understand. What had he done to deserve knowing three abnormal perverts?!
