AWDC Chapter 82
by VolareMu Chuang glanced around the entire dormitory upon hearing this, discovering that everyone was hiding behind their bed curtains, neither using their phones nor talking, as if they were all pricking up their ears to eavesdrop.
“It’s still early,” he said brazenly, “I don’t believe anyone goes to sleep before twelve o’clock. Maybe they’re even hoping I’ll stay here.”
If he stayed here, there would be more gossip tomorrow.
And indeed, that’s exactly what those people were thinking.
“I don’t want you to stay here.” Lin Xi didn’t give him any face at all. “Whoever wants you to stay here can go find them. Don’t bother me.”
After saying that, he prepared to go to bed and rest, waiting for Mu Chuang to leave before getting up to wash.
Who knew that Mu Chuang would shamelessly follow suit, taking off his shoes and getting onto the bed as well. Such a big guy squeezing onto a single bed with Lin Xi was not only impossible to sleep comfortably, but the bed frame also made creaking sounds. Everyone in the dormitory immediately held their breath, feeling that an unexpected scene was about to unfold.
“Are you sick?” This was the first time Lin Xi had cursed at Mu Chuang. “How can two people sleep on such a narrow bed?”
However, Mu Chuang wasn’t angry. Instead, he shamelessly smiled apologetically, “You can sleep on top of me, or… go to my place?”
“No.” Lin Xi refused without hesitation. Thinking of all the things that had happened there, his heart ached terribly. “It’s not like I don’t have a place to sleep. Even if I have to sleep on the streets, I won’t live under someone else’s roof.”
As soon as these words came out, Mu Chuang’s heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. He thought of Lin Xi dragging his suitcase out of his door, and then thought of what he had done to him there. The pain in his heart became even more unbearable.
“I’m sorry,” he sincerely apologized to Lin Xi, not caring how many people were eavesdropping, “I was wrong before, but I promise you now that I will never do anything to hurt you again, or may I die a horrible death.”
He just said it so carelessly, so quickly that Lin Xi couldn’t stop him.
“…” He looked at him in astonishment, and suddenly thought of Mu Chuang’s ending in that world, and didn’t say a word for a long while.
“What?” Mu Chuang seized the opportunity, taking advantage of his slightly softened attitude. “In the end, you still can’t bear to see me die, right?”
“Shut up!” Lin Xi finally couldn’t listen anymore. “Don’t threaten me with death all the time. I won’t fall for that.”
As soon as these words came out, Mu Chuang was stunned for a second, and then smiled helplessly… Why did these words sound so familiar?
It seemed that he had said something similar to Lin Xi before. Now that he thought about it, he was really out of his mind at that time.
“Yes,” he said with a smile in his voice, “Brother has been taught. How could I be so stupid as to think that Xi Xi would care about my life? So, now I have to live shamelessly, otherwise what should belong to me will be snatched away by others again.”
After he finished speaking, he took the initiative to get off the bed. In Lin Xi’s opinion, he was so sensible, but who knew that his next move would directly dumbfound him –
He put on his shoes, bent down, and actually picked up Lin Xi horizontally and carried him away.
Behind them, heads poked out from behind the bed curtains, all looking incredulously at Mu Chuang carrying the person away.
The next day, the workshop exploded. As long as Mu Chuang wasn’t around, everyone was discussing him and Lin Xi in private.
At this time, Lin Xi was still doing the moving work. No matter how Mu Chuang tried to persuade him, he was unwilling to return to his original department.
He had just unloaded a few boxes of semi-finished products. At this time, his face was covered with a few drops of sweat, looking stubborn and alluring, making Mu Chuang unable to resist wanting to take a bite.
He went down to negotiate with Zhao Yuming, determined to transfer him away.
Zhao Yuming, who didn’t have the memories of that world, didn’t know what had happened between the two of them during their time back. Out of protection for Lin Xi, he was unwilling to let him go no matter what.
“He’s from my department. I can transfer him back whenever I want. You have no right to stop me.” After a series of kind words, Mu Chuang lost his patience and became tough.
“Then you have to ask for Xi Xi’s opinion,” Zhao Yuming glanced at Lin Xi, as if he was very confident that he wouldn’t go back, and said, “Your department can’t accommodate him. He came to me because he had nowhere else to go. He’s doing well now. Why should he go back with you?”
“Just because he’s from my department and he’s my person. I can transfer him back whenever I want,” he deliberately emphasized the words “my person,” his eyes full of provocation, and warned Zhao Yuming, “Put away your restless thoughts. Others don’t know, but I know what you’re thinking. You want to snatch him from me? No way!”
He had said the words to this point, and Zhao Yuming didn’t need to hide it anymore, and actually directly admitted, “Yes, you’re right, I do have those feelings for him, but I’m not snatching him from you, but you don’t deserve to compete with me. Xi Xi won’t go with you. You’re not even my opponent. Do you believe it?”
“Bullshit!” Mu Chuang was so angered by his confidence that he lost his mind. He grabbed Zhao Yuming’s collar, only to realize that he didn’t have as much strength in his hands as he did in that world, but it was definitely no problem to deal with Zhao Yuming. “What kind of stuff do you think you are? You’re qualified to compete with me?”
He had just come back, and was used to being tyrannical there. For a moment, he forgot that this was a world ruled by law, and his actions were still as unscrupulous as they were there.
Who knew that Zhao Yuming, who usually looked gentle and refined, was not at all weak when faced with someone else’s recklessness. He grabbed the hand that Mu Chuang was using to do evil, and quickly confronted him.
Although the two were about the same size, Mu Chuang had the memories of that world. He had actually fought with Zhao Yuming several times there, and had also learned some basic skills. Therefore, as soon as the two faced off, a winner was soon determined.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Yuming took a few punches from Mu Chuang. Just as he was surprised that Mu Chuang actually knew martial arts, he saw Lin Xi rushing over.
“Stop!” He had no choice but to drop the work in his hands and rush over to mediate. “Don’t fight! This is working hours! Aren’t you afraid of being fined?”
Mu Chuang was still immersed in the anger of Zhao Yuming trying to snatch him, combining the anger from that world, and couldn’t calm down for a while. Even if Lin Xi rushed over to mediate, it didn’t stop him from continuing to beat people.
Zhao Yuming was surprised by his fighting style. In order not to lose too badly, he had to choose to back down, stopping the fight with Mu Chuang at the first moment Lin Xi shouted “Stop!”
Who knew that Mu Chuang wouldn’t stop, causing him to take a heavy punch, now covering his chest, his face a little ugly.
“Brother Ming,” Lin Xi quickly went over to support him, and intentionally blocked Mu Chuang behind him, not letting him continue to attack Zhao Yuming.
“How are you? Do you need to go to the hospital?” He stared at Zhao Yuming’s face, observing the changes in his complexion, for fear that he had been hit in a vital spot by Mu Chuang, delaying treatment time.
