Chapter 4.05 – The Feelings Brought About By A Shirt
Xiang Han angrily made his way to the supermarket before coming to a shameful realisation that he actually had no idea about Shen Ze’s size.
At least the money he received was not little, so he simply bought two of every size before going home.
At this moment, the chaos in the Shen family’s house was not over. Zhu Jing Yi heard Shen Zheng Duo’s words and shouted furiously, “How can we wait until tomorrow? I want her to leave immediately!”
She suddenly remembered how Xiang Han had mentioned the matter of Xue Ling constantly watching him with a hostile gaze to her before dinner. Previously, she hadn’t taken it seriously, but now looking at Xue Ling’s crazed appearance and malicious gaze, she couldn’t help but feel somewhat scared. Who knew what went through her mind every time she glared at Xiao Han?
Moreover, Xue Ling’s current appearance was truly too abnormal. If they had waited another night and she suddenly went crazy again, she might even do something extreme.
In the beginning, Shen Zheng Duo hadn’t thought that far but when Zhu Jing Yi whispered a few words in his ear, his expression changed. “Xue Ling, please leave tonight.”
Xue Ling’s body trembled and seeing Shen Ze’s head still turned away from her, she couldn’t help feeling hopeless. This despair gradually warped into hatred as she looked towards the couple.
Zhu Jing Yi was frightened by the viciousness in her eyes and unconsciously took a step back. She was pulled behind Shen Zheng Duo who then frowned, “Xue Ling, stop this. Otherwise, I will call the police.”
When Xiang Han returned, he coincidentally heard Zhu Jing Yi’s words, “Let her leave now.” He hurriedly took the bag of underwear and climbed upstairs. Once he learnt of the whole matter, his expression was somewhat complicated.
One should know that during the day, he had been racking his mind to think of a way to drive Xue Ling out. However, it had only taken the time he went to buy some underwear for his goal to be achieved.
At this moment, Xue Ling was filled with hatred and despair. After being berated by Shen Zheng Duo, she instinctively looked away and saw Xiang Han coming upstairs while holding a bag of underwear. In that instant, her gaze towards him filled with venom.
It was indeed him, that little bastard must have said something to Ah Ze. Otherwise, Ah Ze wouldn’t have been so cruel as to tell her to leave.
“It’s you, it’s all your fault
” Xue Ling muttered, a crazed look in her eyes.
Xiang Han had just arrived on the second floor and before he could take another step, she rushed up and seized his throat.
“Xiao Han!” Zhu Jing Yi’s eyes widened in shock. She pushed Shen Zheng Duo away and sprinted over.
Shen Ze heard the commotion and turned around just in time to see Xiang Han nearly falling off the steps. He hurriedly went forward.
Xiang Han had practiced martial arts in the previous worlds he had been in and although the current host was comparable to a weak chicken, his body’s reaction was still there. Seeing Xue Ling pounce towards him, he immediately grabbed the handrails and turned to evade her attack.
Xue Ling missed him and she managed to stop her momentum right at the edge of the stairs. Her body leaned forward precariously against the railing, her arms flailing around trying to gain balance to avoid falling down.
Just as she stabilised her foothold, Xiang Han said, “Be careful not to fall.”
Shen Ze heard this and instantly froze in his steps, instinctively turning around.
Just as he expected, the moment Xiang Han’s words fell, Xue Ling’s body which had just steadied itself toppled forward once more and fell down the stairs with a ‘thump’, before sliding all the way down.
Shen Zheng Duo & Zhu Jing Yi, “
”
Xiang Han could not bear to watch this scene and covered his eyes until he couldn’t hear anymore sounds. Loosening his hands, he peeked through his fingers.
Xue Ling’s face was covered in blood as she laid awkwardly at the bottom of the stairs, her chest barely moving.
After understanding from his system that the other person’s life wasn’t in any danger, Xiang Han quickly went upstairs and asked Zhu Jing Yi, “Should we
call 120?”
He didn’t know that his current appearance looked extremely frightened and dazed, as if he had been overly terrified. Zhu Jing Yi saw this and her heart hurt, pulling him into her embrace to comfort him while glaring at Xue Ling, “What’s the point of calling 120? She tried to kill you, call 110 instead.”
Saying this, she continued to comfort Xiang Han, “Be good, don’t be scared.”
Xiang Han, “
” I’m not scared.
With much difficulty, he managed to break free of Zhu Jing Yi’s hold and saw Shen Ze give him a deep look.
What are you looking for? Isn’t this all because of you?
Xiang Han had a wicked thought and went forward with an innocent expression. Lifting the plastic bag, he said, “Elder brother, here is your underwear.”
Shen Ze’s face turn black. He snatched the bag and turned away.
Xiang Han pouted. There wasn’t even a word of thanks, how rude.
Shen Zheng Duo ultimately called the police and the police called for the ambulance. The two sides arrived at the same time and took Xue Ling away. The police inspected the scene before understanding the events that had occurred and requested Shen Zheng Duo to come down the next day to take his statement.
Zhu Jing Yi frowned, “When she wakes up, will she lie and say we pushed her deliberately?”
Shen Zheng Duo had also considered this possibility but could only frown and say, “If that is the case, there’s really nothing we can do to prove her false.”
Seeing Zhu Jing Yi’s worried face, he consoled her again, “Don’t think about it anymore. Let’s wait and see how it goes tomorrow. You should rest first, I’ll go check up on Xiao Ze and the rest.”
Zhu Jing Yi shook her head, “There’s no need to bother Xiao Han, I’ll go and see him.”
Xiang Han coincidentally heard this when he was closing the door and waited for Zhu Jing Yi to come up. Both of them didn’t speak for long and she left. Xiang Han told his system, [Little Nine, help me fabricate a video.]
On the other side, after Shen Ze returned to his room, he immediately poured out all the underwear and selected a suitable one. He quickly washed and dried it with a hairdryer.
When Shen Zheng Duo arrived, he was blowing it to the point of boredom.
Having his peace interrupted left him feeling moody, and he stood by the door to ask, “What is it?”
When Shen Zheng Duo thought of how his son had been raised by a crazy person for so many years, his heart inexplicably felt worried and afraid. He guiltily said, “Xiao Ze, can we go in and talk? Dad has a lot of things to say to you.”
Shen Ze was still blowing his underwear, how could he let him in. Thus, he only frowned and replied, “It’s not convenient.”
Shen Zheng Duo choked for a moment but due to the guilt in his heart, he held back and tried to probe, “Xiao Ze, when did Xue Ling started to behave abnormally? All these years, did she
”
Shen Zheng Duo hadn’t figured out how to continue his words and only felt that Xue Ling truly wasn’t normal. Who knew if she had assaulted or humiliated Shen Ze during the times she went mad; she had even dared to scold Xiang Han and Zhu Jing Yi in front of him.
Right now, whenever Shen Ze heard the two words, ‘Xue Ling’, he only felt nauseous. Without waiting for Shen Zheng Duo to finish talking, the door had already slammed shut.
Shen Zheng Duo stood frozen in place, feeling even more concerned than before.
The next day, since Xue Ling was taken away, Zhu Jing Yi prepared breakfast.
Xiang Han had only taken a bite, his brows wrinkled deeply. After having experienced so many worlds, was this the legendary dark cuisine?
When Shen Ze came down, the buttons on his shirt weren’t fixed properly.
Shen Zheng Duo wasn’t too happy seeing this and wanted to say a few things; but when he remembered last night’s matters, he held back. Therefore, he only said, “Don’t always skip breakfast, it’s not good for your body.”
Xiang Han also chimed in, “That’s right. Elder brother, if you don’t eat breakfast, you won’t be able to grow taller.”
Shen Ze’s steps halted as he turned to look darkly at him.
Shen Zheng Duo saw this and hurriedly said, “Quickly sit down and eat. All of this was personally made by your Aunt Zhu. After eating, go to school with Xiao Han since your bicycle has already been sent for repairs after becoming a wreck.”
Shen Ze stared at Xiang Han for a long time before he finally went over to take a seat.
Zhu Jing Yi helped him scooped out a bowl of porridge as well as passed a bun over to him.
Shen Ze muttered a word, “Thanks”, leaving Zhu Jing Yi feeling stunned.
Xiang Han also helped him scoop a pile of vegetables and smiled, “Brother, don’t just eat your porridge, have some vegetables too.”
Shen Ze didn’t think much and simply picked up some with his chopsticks. However, the moment he put it in his mouth, his expression froze.
“What is it?” Shen Zheng Duo looked over suspiciously.
Shen Ze threw a look at Xiang Han before spitting it out without taking a bite. With much difficulty, he said, “Nothing.”
Xiang Han guiltily lowered his head to drink his porridge in silence.
Shen Zheng Duo saw all these and suspiciously took a sip. Without even blinking, he turned to Zhu Jing Yi and discussed, “Jing Yi, I think we should hire a helper in the future.”
Zhu Jing Yi, “
” All her warm feelings instantly evaporated.
Finishing his meal, Xiang Han picked up his bag and boarded the car before telling his system, [Little Nine, are you willing to learn how to cook?]
System, [
] I’m a battle system, don’t tell me I have to change jobs and learn cooking now?
In the midst of their discussion, the car’s door opened. In that moment, it felt as though they were in the middle of a brutal winter as Shen Ze stepped inside carrying a frigid aura.
Xiang Han instinctively looked over and was surprised to see Shen Ze had actually agreed to take the same car as him.
Shen Ze also looked towards him, causing Xiang Han to hurriedly shift his gaze elsewhere. However, Shen Ze did not do anything else apart from fixing his gaze on him.
Xiang Han sat still for a little while before he couldn’t hold back his discomfort, “What are you looking at?”
Shen Ze silently turned away before looking back once more with an expressionless face, “Repeat what you said earlier when we were eating, and take away the words ‘won’t’.”
“What?” Xiang Han’s face was blank, “What did I say?”
Shen Ze looked away with a strange expression, hesitating for a moment before speaking, “
What you said about ‘won’t be able to grow taller’.”
Xiang Han, “
” Why did he suddenly have the urge to laugh? How awkward, he was only a 14-year-old youth, hahaha!
“Elder brother, you’ll definitely be able to grow taller.” Xiang Han resisted the urge to laugh.
Shen Ze was somewhat furious but when he turned and saw Xiang Han’s shit-eating grin, his voice turned cold, “Stop laughing.”
“I didn’t laugh.” Xiang Han immediately reigned in his expression and replaced it with a look of innocence.
Seeing this only made Shen Ze more annoyed, so he merely turned around to look outside the window.
When they arrived at the classroom, who knew if it was on purpose or not, but Shen Ze reached the desk a step earlier than Xiang Han and immediately blocked off his pathway.
Xiang Han instantly halted, feeling incredibly moody. Their relationship should have become better after last night, why did it suddenly return to square one? It couldn’t be
because of breakfast and what happened in the car.
“Elder brother, I haven’t gone in yet.” He attempted to use a nice tone to speak to him.
Shen Ze didn’t even look up, “Go in from the other side.”
Xiang Han gritted his teeth, thinking silently to himself, ‘So petty, no wonder he blackened so easily.’
He glanced at the classroom filled with students and laughed sinisterly before feigning grievance, “Elder brother, didn’t you say before that we are even? I even went out last night to help you buy
”
Before he could finish, Shen Ze had already shot up. He stuffed Xiang Han inside with a black face and said, “Sit properly and keep your mouth shut. You’re not allowed to talk.”
Xiang Han, with a face of innocence, “
