Chapter 154: Somewhere I Don’t Even Know
On the other side, Zuo Qian threw up before he even reached the toilet. His gentle face was red.
Zhang Zixin passed him a tissue to wipe his mouth.
Zuo Qian turned his head around and suddenly grabbed her hand. He turned his dazed gaze around. “Changqing…”
Zhang Zixin was taken aback. “Zuo Qian, I…”
“Two years.” Zuo Qian interrupted her painfully. “I’ve liked you for two whole years. I suppressed myself every day because I was your teacher; I’ve never dared to say this before.”
Zhang Zixin felt a sense of sorrow permeating through her heart. What could be more unbearable than him liking someone else when she still couldn’t forget him?
She didn’t know what was so good about Yan Changqing other than her looks.
Perhaps Zuo Qian was just like many men and liked young women.
“I know the distance between us is increasing.” Zuo Qian continued, “You have someone you like. You will leave our team in the future and I’m afraid of that day arriving. Changqing, there are some things that if I don’t say them now, I will never get the chance. I like how you’re silly. When you were gone for eight days, the past eight days, every day that passed felt like a year. I constantly wanted to talk to you, to see you smile, but it’s really not enough to just interact with you like this…”
He suddenly pulled the woman beside him and kissed her on her lips roughly.
Changqing, who was on her way to the toilet, happened to see this scene and was completely dumbfounded.
This… what situation is this?
Didn’t they break up several years ago? Now they’re making out again?
Could it be that Zhang Zixin was the reason why Zuo Qian drank so much?
Seeing how the two were getting increasingly passionate, Changqing wanted to turn away while blushing. Suddenly, she bumped firmly into a chest.
She looked up and saw that gloomy face of Song Chulang’s behind her.
Finished.
She took in a deep breath. Song Chulang must be insanely mad. The female partner he brought ended up making out with another man.
Changqing felt there must be something going on between a man and a woman having supper together late at night.
She opened her mouth. “That…”
Song Chulang suddenly covered her mouth and pulled her into a corner.
His tall build pressed her into a small gap. There was a fresh scent on his palm which was different from Song Chuyi. Song Chuyi’s palm had thin layers of calluses, perhaps due to the fact that he had to hold scalpels often.
Changqing’s eyes turned. She saw Zhang Zixin walking by while supporting Zuo Qian.
Song Chulang let her go. Changqing quickly walked out and saw the two walking towards the main entrance.
Are they leaving together?
Changqing suddenly sympathized with Song Chulang.
She said weakly, “It’s okay, you’re so good-looking. There’s plenty of fish in the sea…”
“Let’s go, I’ll take you back,” Song Chulang said gloomily.
Changqing understood very well. He would feel very embarrassed with Zhang Zixin leaving him behind and walking away just like that.
However, if she were to leave with him just like that, what would the people on the team say?
Just when she was hesitating, Song Chulang opened his mouth again coldly. “Are you leaving or not?”
Chuchu felt a chill from Song Chulang once again. Song Chuyi was also aloof but he was like a mighty God who had lived through life. Song Chulang was different. He emitted a chill, giving off a sense of danger.
She didn’t dare to offend him.
She nodded carefully and gave Wen Tong a call, asking her to look after her things before she got into Song Chulang’s car.
Song Chulang drove a Land Rover. The chassis was very high and Changqing only managed to climb inside clumsily after a long while.
After she got in, Changqing basically didn’t dare to speak.
“Did I underestimate you?” Song Chulang suddenly said.
“What?”
“I thought Chuyi had already decided to divorce you before. How did you make him give up on that idea?” Song Chulang steered expressionlessly.
Changqing swallowed and didn’t dare to speak.
“Why aren’t you speaking?” Song Chulang was unhappy. “Do you know it’s very rude to not make a sound when someone talks to you?”
Changqing curled her lips, thinking, “You know about manners too?” “I’m afraid you would throw me out of the car.”
“…” Song Chulang frowned. “Okay, I won’t throw you out of the car.”
“Actually, it’s very simple. You won’t understand the delights between us as an outsider.” After receiving the command, Changqing spoke truthfully. “Actually, I’ve never understood why you hated me so much. Are you a brother-phile? You need to know that no matter how much you love and care for your brother, he would have to get married one day anyway. I feel that you should look for a woman seriously. Look at you—now that you’ve finally brought a woman out, she went off with another man. Are you a little lacking in terms of charisma as a man? I feel that you should learn more from Song Chuchu. Although he doesn’t drive such an expensive Land Rover like you and he is also not some CEO, I feel that he’s much more charming than you…”
He suddenly pressed on the brakes and Changqing flew forward as she was caught off-guard.
Song Chulang looked at her coldly. “Get out.”
“You just said you wouldn’t chase me out of the car.” Changqing blinked.
“I said I wouldn’t throw you out of the car; I didn’t say I wouldn’t chase you out of the car.” There was a gloomy chill in his eyes.
Changqing was speechless for a long while. They were indeed brothers. Both of them were so good at finding loopholes in words.
“So be it. I don’t care for a ride.” Changqing swung the door open angrily. She had just gotten out when the huge Land Rover sped past her.
Changqing cursed at him and looked up, only to realize that this was a new area recently developed in Northern City and there were no cabs. She had never been there before.
She finally understood. Song Chulang, this b*stard, purposely lured her into the car.
How evil.
She gave Song Chuyi a call angrily. “Song Chuchu, come pick me up quickly. Your b*stard brother tossed me out somewhere I don’t even know.”
Song Chuyi had just finished his shower and when he heard that, his head hurt. “How did you encounter my brother?”
“I saw him while having supper. His woman ran off with someone else and he vented his anger on me.”
“His woman?” Song Chuyi frowned. “When did he get a woman?”
“That isn’t the point. There’s no one here and it’s pitch black all around. I’m scared. Come quickly.” Changqing stomped her feet while speaking.
“Send me your location,” Song Chuyi said.
Changqing sent it over.
While she was waiting, cars stopped by on the way and there were drivers who stuck their heads out and whistled at her. “Pretty lady, there aren’t any cabs here normally. Do you want me to give you a lift?”
Changqing hid further to the side of the road without saying anything.
The driver looked at her for a while and drove off.
After another ten minutes, a motorcycle came over. Two men who seemed to be migrant workers from nearby saw her squatting over there and pulled over, walked over towards her, and asked with a grin, “Pretty lady, what are you doing here alone?”
Changqing didn’t reply to them, shrinking away as she walked aside.
The two men closed in and surrounded her slowly, saying with mischievous smiles, “Where are you heading? This isn’t a safe place, follow us. Although we’re on a motorcycle, we can still all fit with a little squeezing.”
“There’s no need; someone’s coming to pick me up soon.” Changqing said quick-wittedly, “My husband will be here soon.”
The two men looked at the dark road and exchanged glances. “I think your husband won’t get here any time soon. It’s too dangerous for you to stand here. There are many hooligans passing by at night. Just a while ago, there was a woman who got gang-raped in that alley. It’s for your own good. Come, come, come, let us take you.”
After saying that, the two closed in from both sides. Changqing started running but the two grabbed her arm quickly, pulling her to the motorcycle.
“Aiyo, you’ve got a pretty little face.” The man took the chance to touch her face.
“Aye, bro, don’t you think this woman looks like that female host from the Northern City broadcasting station?” the other one said.
“Yeah. However, what would that Northern City broadcasting station host be doing in this sort of place this late at night? She’s just a look-alike.” The two men tugged her forcefully.
Changqing screamed in fear. “Let go of me. My husband is here. There, that’s my husband’s car.”
Just then, a light came shining from the front.
A man covered her mouth and laughed nastily. “Quit trying to bluff. If I were to say, you must’ve been in an argument with your husband and he tossed you out here.”
“Mm… mm…” Changqing pushed with all her might and was so scared she was about to cry.
Just then, the light from the car came close in the blink of an eye. The car’s high beams were piercing to the eye and they could only make out a rough, tall figure getting out from the car. That silhouette came closer and it was only when he was right before her eyes that Changqing could see those aloof eyes and that high nose bridge clearly…
Isn’t that Song Chuyi?
“Mind your own business.” The man grabbing onto Changqing’s arm threatened ruthlessly.
“You’re grabbing onto my wife and you’re telling me to mind my own business?” Song Chuyi raised his brows. He grabbed the hand of the man closer to him and broke it straight away.
The sound of the bone breaking was crisp and it echoed in the silent night.
Changqing felt the grip on her arm loosening. The man who was grabbing her just now ran off.
Song Chuyi picked up a stone the size of a fist from the ground, took aim, and threw it at the back of his head ruthlessly.
Changqing heard a shriek and that man fell to the ground before getting up while staggering and running off again.
Song Chuyi didn’t chase after him, only calling the police on his phone.
Seeing that, the man with the broken hand wanted to run too but Song Chuyi was well-prepared. He kicked him to the ground with one leg and gave him a punch that knocked him out.
“Song Chuchu…” Changqing pressed her lips together and latched onto him, hugging him tightly. “I was so scared. The two men just now kept pulling me. I don’t know where they wanted to take me.”
Song Chuyi caressed her head gently and looked around. The more he looked, the tighter his brows were knitted. “It’s fine now. Get into the car first.”
“Mm.” Changqing nodded obediently but she still held onto his waist, not moving.
Song Chuyi could only walk her into the car and close the car door.
Changqing dug her little head into his embrace, wiping her tears on his chest. “Chuchu, I was so scared just now.”
That lass looked so delicate and beautiful and made him feel sorry for her. Song Chuyi held her tightly. “Did my brother really leave you here?”
Changqing nodded. “It’s true. He told me to take his car back. In the end, he left me here halfway through. There’s no need to take this route to the Yan household at all. I suspect he did it on purpose.”
