Qin Cheng grabbed a red-haired man by the hair, pressed him down, and then rammed his knee hard into his stomach, causing the red-haired man to fall to the ground.
But Qin Cheng was also hit by a steel pipe on his back. He groaned, turned around, and kicked the sneak-attacking dog away.
He had been hit so many times that it was unknown how many blows he had received. The pain in his body went from severe pain to dull pain to numbness. Qin Cheng’s eyes were red. The smell of blood mixed with the strong smell of damp wood spread wantonly throughout the battlefield, causing the scoundrels lying on the ground to tremble and unable to get up.
More than 20 scoundrels, half of them were lying on the ground, but he and Tan Qi were already at the end of their strength.
Tan Qi’s forehead was scratched by something, blood dripped onto his face and he wiped it away. His hand holding the steel pipe was shaking, but he still leaned behind him to guard against sneak attacks.
Qin Cheng didn’t even have a weapon in his hand at the beginning, and he was even worse off than him. He was hit on the knee with a stick, his back was hit, and his shoulders and arms were hit. Except for his face, there was no good place. Now he can still stand here thanks to the excellent physical quality of the top Alpha and the strength in his heart.
Zhao Hai got up, clutching his stomach. Seeing that the two of them were exhausted, he smiled sinisterly and took out a fruit knife with a ferocious expression: “I’ll just see who was fucking useless today!”
Qin Cheng coughed twice, his ribs ached, and he half leaned on Tan Qi, somewhat unable to stand. But he had a smile on his face, raised his hand, and gave a middle finger, “I think it’s you.”
The next second, a steel pipe ruthlessly smashed into Zhao Hai’s shoulder from behind. The force was so great that the whole person directly fell to the ground, and he couldn’t get up even after struggling a few times.
The man on the bike didn’t hesitate and quickly skipped past Zhao Hai at a high speed, holding the handlebars with one hand while the steel pipe kept raising and falling with the other.
Really, one stick for one scoundrel1一棍一个小混混 (yī gùn yī gè xiǎo hùn hun): T/N: Aha, this phrase is similar to QC internal monologue regarding JH in Chapter 02; One stick for one little friend [一棍一个小朋友 (yī gùn yīgè xiǎopéngyǒu)]..
Jian Heng almost smashed a bloody path and rushed in front of Qin Cheng. The bike turned a right angle arrogantly, raising a cloud of dust.
Qin Cheng had been laughing since the moment he saw his shadow.
Jian Heng stretched out his hand, and Qin Cheng grabbed it and was taken to the back seat.
Qin Cheng was in so much pain all over his body and his hands were shaking so much that he could barely hold the baseball bat he had snatched. But Jian Heng’s arrival was like a shot of adrenaline, making him feel that he could still beat ten more people before going to the ICU.
Jian Heng took Qin Cheng’s free arm, put it around his waist, and said in a low voice: “Sit tight.”
Qin Cheng thought to himself, I dare not not sit tight either, I’m so weak now that I’m afraid of falling down. But he still tightened his arm.
Before leaving, Jian Heng spent 0.1 seconds to glance at Tan Qi and said, “Keep up.”
Sun-ge didn’t expect Qin Cheng’s bones to be so hard, which exhausted so many of his brothers. Seeing another capable helper coming, he lost all his dignity, gritted his teeth, took out a switchblade, and rushed toward Jian Heng.
Qin Cheng saw it and raised the baseball bat in his hand. The veins on his arm were bulging, and he used the last bit of his strength to swing it forward fiercely, hitting Sun-ge’s head accurately.
Sun-ge was hit hard. He covered his head and wailed, and the switchblade in his hand fell to the ground.
Jian Heng cooperated tacitly to speed up the bike and flew out.
The three of them ran to the intersection and ran into two police cars head-on. They all felt relieved and stopped where they were.
Tan Qi was out of breath after running. The bloody wound was wiped and looked garish, but he didn’t feel any pain. He stood on the side, kept patting Qin Cheng’s shoulder, pointing at Jian Heng, breathing heavily, and said: “Qin… Qin-ge… get… get married! Too freaking awesome! I’m, I’m convinced!”
The moment Jian Heng rushed out, his tears almost came out. That figure was so fucking cool and awesome. He would never forget it. Mom! it was like the god of the heavens descending to save his Qin-ge from danger!
Can a soft and delicate Omega do that? No!
Fuck! He agreed to this marriage! Qin-ge really has a fucking vision!
Qin Cheng lay on Jian Heng’s back, and he was patted so hard that he hissed in pain. He said weakly: “Don’t you fucking pat me.”
Tan Qi withdrew his hand embarrassedly, but his expression was still excited beyond words.
The three of them explained their identities to the police who came late. A group of scoundrels who rushed out of the alley were blocked by the police car and all of them were handcuffed and taken away. The three of them also got into the police car and made a statement at the police station.
Qin Cheng called his mother halfway and lied that he and Jian Heng were taking tutoring classes at school and would be back later.
It was almost seven o’clock when they came out of the police station. As soon as Tan Qi went out, he was dragged back home by his ear by the furious Mother Tan. During the process, Qin Cheng hid behind Jian Heng and watched Tan Qi die heroically.
He was not afraid of scoundrels with knives but was afraid of his own mother coming.
Only when Tan Qi’s figure completely disappeared did Qin Cheng slowly move out. His legs that had been hit by a stick did not allow him to walk fast and vigorously.
“Finally they’re gone,” Qin Cheng sighed. From the corner of his eye, Jian Heng had been looking at him. He touched his nose, “His mother and my mother know each other. I can’t let her know that I was involved in the fight too.”
Jian Heng didn’t say anything but glanced at his legs. The meaning was obvious: Even if she didn’t say it, your mother would know.
Qin Cheng didn’t continue this topic, but turned to look at him: “Thank you for today.”
If it weren’t for Jian Heng, he would definitely not be able to hold on until the police came to rescue him, and the consequences… he didn’t want to imagine it.
Jian Heng held his arm and led him out, saying calmly: “It’s nothing.”
Qin Cheng smiled.
In this respect, his vision of combat effectiveness was really not as good as Tan Qi’s. When Tan Qi saw Jian Heng for the first time, he felt that Jian Heng could strangle him to death with one hand, and he subconsciously became timid. While he actually had to see it with his own eyes in order to believe it.
Qi’er is awesome.
When Qin Cheng sat in the back seat and hugged Jian Heng’s waist, the pain in his body began to ferment quietly. He didn’t even have the strength to lift up his legs, and they kept dragging on the ground intermittently.
His back, right shoulder, and right arm were throbbing with pain as if there were explosives buried in his blood vessels.
This series of pains erupted together. He endured it for a few seconds, but still fell on Jian Heng’s back.
It’s so fucking painful. His shoulders hurt even when he sat down and exerted himself slightly.
Even though he wasn’t someone who liked to stir up trouble, the next time he saw Zhao Hai, he would still want to beat the shit out of him. Spineless2瘪犊子 (biě dú zi): T/N: According to netizens, this is a Northeast dialect. 瘪犊子 (dú zi) means newly born livestock, while 瘪 (biě) means deflated; shriveled. Together, they mean ‘a shriveled newly born livestock’. It’s already an animal, and it’s given a congenital disability. The extent of the insult is obvious. thing.
Today was almost a disaster.
Qin Cheng was silently angry for a long time.
When he looked up again, Heping District was just around the corner.
Another problem arose again——he couldn’t go home. He couldn’t let his mother know that he had gotten into a fight.
Since he has been saved by Jian Heng anyway, since he has to go to Room 302 in the middle of the night during the susceptible period anyway, since the two of them slept together twice anyway, well… there’s no harm in just living together directly. After all, they’re both Alphas, so there’s no need to avoid suspicion, right?
Qin… Qin-ge… get… get married! Too freaking awesome! I’m, I’m convinced!
Tan Qi’s words circled around in Qin Cheng’s mind in 3D. He pondered for a few seconds and felt that it was indeed freaking awesome, but getting married was completely unnecessary.
He and Jian Heng were both people who were going to take a wife. Two top Alphas getting together, isn’t it a waste of resources?
Qin Cheng raised his head and gently nudged Jian Heng’s back with his nose.
His arms hurt so much, and he didn’t feel like moving.
Jian Heng let out an ‘Um’.
“Jian-ge,” Qin Cheng’s voice was muffled in the night wind, circled a few times, and sunk into Jian Heng’s back, inexplicably stained with a bit of confusion, “…take me in for a few nights, okay? I don’t have money to stay in a hotel, and I don’t dare to go home. At this rate, I’m going to be sleeping on the street.”
“Um.” Jian Heng said.
The corner of Qin Cheng’s mouth curled up, and his voice was a little hoarse because of the pain all over his body, but he was in a good mood. The end of his tone rose: “Jian-ge is freaking awesome, Jian-ge is the coolest, Jian-ge is handsome——” He blanked.
Jian Heng suddenly stopped the bike and looked ahead. His voice was gentle like a younger generation: “Auntie Song.”
Qin Cheng’s whole body gave a start and he almost fell off the bike. He raised his head in fear and trepidation. In just two seconds, he had come up with three reasons and five excuses.
But when he finally stuck his head out from Jian Heng’s back and mustered up the courage to face the gale, there was no one in the open space in front of him. There’s not even a fucking shadow!
“Fuck! Student Jian Heng, you are so unkind!” Qin Cheng hit him with his forehead, “I almost had a heart attack.”
Jian Heng didn’t say anything, but Qin Cheng could tell from his slower pedaling that this guy was laughing.
Qin Cheng was speechless. Pretending to be cool is just your camouflage3保护色 (bǎo hù sè): protective coloration; camouflage; an animal’s body color that changes with the environment. It is a way to survive and adapt to the environment.. You’re actually a mensao4闷骚 (mēn sāo): (neologism, of personality) having a smoldering sexuality; sultry; restraining oneself in appearance but abounding in fervor inside; shy on the outside but wild on the inside. A Chinese buzzword refers to people who look quiet, cold, or even dull outside, but inside they are volatile, charismatic, hot, and sexy. It may also be used to describe a person’s duplicitous personality, but mostly in the eulogistic sense. inside, right?
Qin Cheng was carried up to the third floor by Jian Heng. He didn’t act pretentiously. His body really couldn’t afford to be tossed around.
“Not going to the hospital?” Jian Heng placed him on the bed and asked.
“No, there’s no need to go, why spend that money if nothing’s wrong,” Qin Cheng felt a dull pain as soon as his back touched the bed surface. He quickly shifted to lie down in a different direction, and his ribs hurt again, “…Fuck!”
Jian Heng didn’t try to persuade him anymore and left the room.
Qin Cheng picked up his phone and called his mother.
“Mom. Yes. At Jian Heng’s house.”
“It’s the monthly exam, isn’t it? Your son wants to make great progress and give you a surprise.”
“Did Tan Qi get into a fight? I don’t know, he went back from school by himself. This kid really makes people worry. Tsk, tell my big aunt not to worry, I’ll talk to him tomorrow.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t fight. I’m very well-behaved.”
“Um, if nothing unexpected happens, I will stay until the monthly exam. He is a great school tyrant, this is a rare opportunity.”
“Okay~ Good night~”
Qin Cheng hung up the phone and the tense breath he had been holding loosened. His waist relaxed and he fell on the bed. The pain in his ribs almost brought tears to his eyes.
“Take off your clothes.” Jian Heng came back at some point, holding a bottle of medicated oil in his hand.
Qin Cheng tried to prop himself up but failed. The moment he fell back on the bed, his limbs and bones exploded in a wave of pain.
He hissed for a long time and buried his head in the pillow. Rejecting Jian Heng with his actions.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to move, it was that he couldn’t move.
After two seconds of silence, Qin Cheng felt that the bed surface suddenly sank, and then there was an additional weight on his butt that could not be ignored——Jian Heng actually sat on his butt! So heavy5辣么沉 (là me chén): 辣么 (là me) is an alternative form of [那么 (nà me), so; like that] (neologism, slang). 沉 (chén) is short for [沉重 (chén zhòng), heavy; hard; serious; critical].!
Qin Cheng’s face was smothered in the pillow, and his hand patted the bed surface without energy: “What… are you doing? Murder… ah?”
The ribs were pressed down and hurt even more, and then the pain finally started to go numb, it was both numb and painful.
Jian Heng pushed his T-shirt from the bottom up towards his neck, revealing the beautifully defined muscle lines of his back. When lying down, his shoulders arched, revealing two attractive dimples. His skin wasn’t fair but had a perfect wheat color. After the medicated oil was applied, he looked indescribably sexy…
“Fucking hell! Jian Heng! Please be gentle!” Qin Cheng shuddered from being pressed down.
It would be better if he shut up.
“It’s useless if it’s too gentle.” Jian Heng’s hand lingered at the shoulder socket for a while, then slowly moved down. The strength was well controlled, not causing Qin Cheng too much pain but just enough to dissolve the bruises.
On Qin Cheng’s back, from his right shoulder diagonally down to his spine, there was a large area of bruising. Looking up, there were also two prominent purple bruises on his right arm, like splashes of paint accidentally spilled on a canvas, quite unpleasant to look at.
Jian Heng couldn’t help but think of the last swing of the baseball bat by Qin Cheng. He couldn’t understand how his arm, injured like that, had the strength to swing, and it was also quite a forceful swing.
The skin under his palm trembled violently when he rubbed the bruise. His muscles were tense, but he didn’t try to dodge. Qin Cheng gritted his teeth and endured, only occasionally letting out one or two muffled grunts that he couldn’t suppress.
When his entire back was rubbed warm, Jian Heng sat up straight and breathed a sigh of relief.
Feeling the palm on his back disappear, Qin Cheng endured the initial pain and now only felt a faint comfort. He couldn’t help but sway his waist, causing Jian Heng, who was sitting on him, to sway along. His voice carried a drowsy tone: “Continue. Feels good…”
Jian Heng: “…”
LMAO QC, where’s your dignity?
