"Why would that be? My character is so impeccable that even the government awarded me a ’gentleman certificate’—better than you could imagine," Chen Nan sighed and said, "My love, if someone else insulted me, it wouldn’t matter, but your words really hurt, you know? You’re my beloved consort, don’t you know my character?"
Yun Fei despised him so much her teeth itched, "Talking about yourself as ’Your Majesty’ all the time, can your skin get any thicker?"
"Not as thick as yours."
"Bastard, do you want to die?"
"I’m perfectly alive, why would I want to die?"
Furious and unable to hold back any longer, Yun Fei moved forward and, while Chen Nan wasn’t paying attention, fiercely pinched his arm and then turned to leave.
Chen Nan held his arm and rubbed it a few times, watching Yun Fei’s retreating figure. Why do all women like to pinch? Su Qingqing did it, and so did Yun Fei.
He scratched his head and finally concluded they must have been reincarnated from crayfish.
"Living under the same roof with two crayfish, I can’t handle this!"
Chen Nan massaged his arm and shook his head, just as he was about to head over to Su Qingqing and the others, his phone rang—it was the number from Xiao Jiji.
The previously sullen Chen Nan instantly brightened up, "Hello, Brother Ji, are you still having fun?"
Hearing Chen Nan’s laughter, Xiao Jiji almost crushed his teeth. The guy was just too fake—despite everything that had happened, he still acted all brotherly.
"Nan... Brother Nan, I’m calling now, I didn’t wake you, did I?"
Listening to Xiao Jiji’s trembling voice, Chen Nan let out a hearty laugh, "Listen to you, we’re brothers, aren’t we? It doesn’t matter if you disturbed me sleeping, even if you interrupted me sleeping with a woman, I definitely wouldn’t hold it against you."
Could you be any more fake!?!
In his heart, Xiao Jiji cursed, but he could only force a laugh and say, "Brother Nan, I’ll never forget your kindness. It’s just, about that bar incident, I really owe you an apology, please forgive me."
Xiao Jiji was forced into a corner. After all, Chen Nan had photos of him and Tian Piyan in bed together.
If those photos got out, Xiao Jiji wouldn’t be able to show his face not just in this life, but in the next one too.
Chen Nan sighed, "What are you talking about, Brother Ji? You invited me to drink and even found me a woman afterward. How could I blame you?"
Xiao Jiji was suddenly confused, not understanding what Chen Nan really meant.
"Brother Nan, I truly am sorry, but could you delete those photos?"
"No problem, of course, no problem," Chen Nan said laughingly, hearing which Xiao Jiji got visibly excited. But just then, Chen Nan added in a tone that was casual yet significant, "However, I’ve got to upload them online first, like to our school’s forum—that’s a fine place."
A loud noise came from the phone. Chen Nan didn’t need to think to know that Xiao Jiji was so terrified that his legs gave out, and he fell to the floor. That feeling of tumbling from heaven to somewhere even lower than hell was truly unbearable.
"Brother Ji, are you alright?"
Listening to Chen Nan’s chuckling voice, Xiao Jiji started to sob, pleading, "Brother Nan, I was wrong, even my underwear is all twisted up. I won’t go against you anymore, really, from now on, you’re my big brother. If you tell me to go east, I’ll never go west. Please have mercy on me!"
"Brother Ji, are you serious?"
Chen Nan smiled, always sounding so amiable, you’d think he was quite the nice guy if you didn’t know better.
Xiao Jiji hastily replied, "Of course! Brother Nan, I swear, I’m not lying—if I am, may heaven strike me down with five thunders."
"Since that’s the case, go beat up Zhao Ming tomorrow," Chen Nan said indifferently.
Xiao Jiji suddenly plopped down onto the ground, his face turning pale with fear as he begged, "Brother Nan, please spare me! Ming Brother’s... ah, spit! I mean, Zhao Ming’s family is very powerful, I dare not mess with him!"
"Well then, see you later, Brother Ji!"
Chen Nan hung up the phone directly and then turned off his mobile, preventing Xiao Jiji from calling through.
Consequently, Xiao Jiji and Tian Piyan on the other end were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, terrified that Chen Nan would send out the photo, desperately calling Chen Nan’s phone, but to no avail.
"You all won’t be getting any sleep tonight."
With a cold chuckle, Chen Nan put away his phone and walked towards several beautiful girls.
They played in Entertainment City until past eleven at night, had some late-night snacks, and then went home to sleep.
Without further incident, the next morning when Chen Nan arrived at the classroom, he found that both Xiao Jiji and Tian Piyan were sporting dark circles under their eyes, slumped over their desks in a drowsy state, evidently having suffered from insomnia the previous night.
"Brother Ji, Brother Nan is here!"
Tian Piyan hurriedly nudged Xiao Jiji, excitedly saying.
The originally listless Xiao Jiji suddenly sprung to life as if injected with adrenaline, quickly jumping up and leading Tian Piyan with a beaming smile towards Chen Nan, "Brother Nan, good morning!"
Seeing the two guys smiling obsequiously, Chen Nan nodded his head as a response.
The classmates, upon witnessing this scene, were all dumbfounded. Although Xiao Jiji had apologized to Chen Nan before, at most they seemed to have an equal relationship. But now, with Xiao Jiji’s bowing and scraping, he was completely acting like an inferior!
What the hell, had these two bullies become slaves?
Everyone’s eyes widened with curiosity as they watched this unfold.
Although Xiao Jiji felt he was losing face, the thought of the photo of himself and Tian Piyan in a compromising position still in Chen Nan’s hands pushed other concerns aside. Losing face was a small matter, but if the photo got out, that would be a whole different story!
"Brother Nan, is there anything you need help with?" Tian Piyan said with a smile, "Did you have breakfast? Do you want us to get you something to eat?"
Chen Nan waved his hand dismissively, "I don’t need you for anything right now, go back to your seat."
Seeing Chen Nan’s arrogant demeanor, Tian Piyan was furious, itching to rush up and fight.
Xiao Jiji glared, and with a slap across his face, he scolded, "What the fuck are you waiting for? If Brother Nan tells you to scram, then hurry up and scram, don’t be an eyesore here!"
Tian Piyan still seemed unwilling to drop it, but before he could finish his sentence—
"Slap, slap, slap..."
Xiao Jiji gave him three sharp slaps, his saliva and tears flying together—truly a magnificent sight—that brought Tian Piyan’s impulsive brain to a swift half-clarity.
Xiao Jiji cursed, quickly dragging Tian Piyan away in disgrace.
The classmates’ jaws dropped to the floor, and judging from the situation, it seemed like the bullies had indeed become slaves—and the most menial, rights-deprived kind of slaves at that!
