Recalling Tang Ziyan’s usually gentle appearance, Chu Qing was astounded.
She didn’t seem like a martial artist at all. She concealed it so well that even he was deceived.
Humiliation was something that could be overcome. Before the afternoon class, Chu Qing had already adjusted his mindset. Now that the incident was behind him, he needed to focus on resolving the issue of the upcoming exam.
With only two weeks left until the end of the third year of high school, time was running out for the first test before the college entrance examination. Chu Qing contemplated whether it was more beneficial for him to dedicate himself to diligent studying or if he should focus on cultivating an ocular technique for better results.
When the time came for the exam, he would ‘borrow’ other people’s answers and improve his results quickly. He was a little conflicted. It was only when school was about to end that Chu Qing made up his mind. He wanted to study and defeat Tang Ziyan openly.
After school, Chu Qing realized that he hadn’t brought his school bag with him when he left in the morning. As a result, he didn’t have any books or materials with him. However, he knew he had to go home tonight as per his father’s strict orders. Despite not having a choice, Chu Qing reluctantly accepted the situation and prepared himself for the inevitable.
As he drove on the road, Chu Qing looked at the bottle of ambrosia on the passenger seat and thought about how to bring it home without being discovered.
This situation seemed manageable. After dinner, Chu Qing planned to sneak out of the window and bring his bag back up. As he arrived home, he felt a tinge of guilt as he used his key to open the door. Thankfully, he appeared normal and undisturbed because the bottle of healing medicine Tang Ziyan had given him had completely healed his injuries. Otherwise, explaining his quick recovery would have been a different story altogether.
“I’m back,” Chu Qing said, pretending to be relaxed.
“Rascal, you finally remembered to come home!” Chu Qing’s father exclaimed as he rushed out of the kitchen, wielding a slipper in his hand.
Chu Qing cowered in fear, anticipating the imminent scolding or punishment. His father approached him swiftly, and Chu Qing silently counted down in his mind, knowing that his mother would usually intervene and remind his father that boys shouldn’t be beaten.
Chu Qing’s memory of the past was vivid, and he believed there would be no mistake. However, today was different. His mother had a different perspective. She believed that this wasn’t the first time Chu Qing had behaved this way, neglecting his family. Therefore, she felt it was necessary to teach him a lesson.
Just as the slippers were about to land on Chu Qing, someone suddenly interrupted. “Uncle, don’t. It’s all my fault. I was drunk last night and pestered Chu Qing to take care of me.”
When Chu Qing heard this familiar voice, he hurriedly looked around. Finally, he saw Ye Chenxi talking at his dining table. He did not have time to think about why Ye Chenxi would come to his house.
On the contrary, Chu Qing found himself pondering whether Ye Chenxi’s mind was damaged. Her words had hit a sensitive spot, and he contemplated whether it would be better not to explain himself and let his parents reflect on their own.
She was drunk and he took care of her, staying in the same room alone for the entire night. His parents were already guarding against girls like they were guarding against thieves. Now, Chu Qing wanted to bang his head against the wall.
“Alright, let’s eat first. i’ll spare you today,” Chu Qing’s mother said, intervening in the situation. She could only restrain herself, considering the Ye family’s current status as a major client of their company. Moreover, based on her previous conversation with Chu Qing and his silent agreement, she didn’t want her son to be subjected to a beating in front of Ye Chenxi.
After narrowly avoiding the calamity, Chu Qing shot a resentful glare at Ye Chenxi. He felt that he needed to teach this woman a lesson on how to speak properly.
However, Ye Chenxi winked at Chu Qing as if to say, “How will you thank me for helping you?”
