Chapter 36 Prank Chen

Zhi stayed in Feng Ran's hometown for a week.

On the first night of his arrival, he appeared at the door of Ren He's house. In the middle of the night, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, his eyes were like ghosts in the dark.

Ren He opened the door sleepily and shouted on the spot.

The lights came on, and Chen Zhi smiled and said, "Excuse me."

Ren He was stunned: "You, you..."

"I'm Chen Zhi." He said, looking into the house, "Feng Ran, you are so stupid?"

Chen Zhi dealt with him for a few days and gradually understood his character. He doesn't look serious, but he has a plan in his mind, knows what to do and what not to do, and is quite smart.

Chen Zhi often went to harass him, because he greeted him with a smile and often showed weakness, Ren He didn't say harsh words to him.

But no matter how soft and hard he tried, he just wouldn't tell him where Feng Ran was.

After a week, he was a little disappointed. It was not a solution to drag it on like this.

He waited at the door of the bar until late at night, when Ren He came out with his arms around him. When he saw him, he was dumbfounded and asked, "What are you doing here?" Chen

Zhi said, "I came to see you."

Ren He wanted to say something, but suddenly turned around and ran to the corner to vomit for a while. When he looked up again, Chen Zhi handed him a bottle of water and a pack of tissues.

Ren He returned to the stage, followed by Shen Zhi.

Everyone at the table was from the same hometown. A few sharp-eyed people recognized it and said, "This is not Feng Ran's--"

Ren He covered the mouth of the person who was speaking tightly, looked at Shen Zhi and said, "Are you okay? This is not a place to talk. Let's do it another day." Chen

Zhi said generously, "Hello, I'm here to see Feng Ran."

"He's not back yet?" "I haven't seen him for a long time." Several people said at once.

Ren He pulled his clothes: "I really don't know where he is. Can I call you brother? Brother, big brother, please don't torture me." Chen

Zhi said: "If anyone has news about Feng Ran, please tell me. Everyone can drink tonight, it's my treat."

A group of people cheered and added Chen Zhi's contact information one by one.

The wine glasses were handed over immediately. It was not good to spoil the fun at this time. Shen Zhi was still hesitant, and Ren He came over to block it and said, "He is not a good drinker, forget it." Some people were a little disappointed and said that it was okay to drink less, but Ren He laughed it off.

Shen Zhi said in a voice that only he could hear: "Thank you."

Ren He imitated him and whispered: "If you really want to thank me, just leave quickly."

Ren He woke up the next night and left the bedroom. Chen Zhi was lying on the sofa with his clothes on.

He didn't black out. It was Shen Zhi who sent him back in the early morning.

He made a noise, and Chen Zhi woke up. He pointed to the kitchen and said, "There are snacks and hangover tea."

Ren He scratched his head and muttered, "Not really. No matter how nice you are to me, I can't tell you because I really don't know."

"It's okay." Chen Zhi smiled. "Can you go out for dinner sometime? I'll treat you."

Half an hour later, they were sitting in a small restaurant. Ren He flipped through the menu and ordered two dishes, while Chen Zhi drank tea across from him.

After all the dishes were served, Ren He said, "Just say whatever you want to say. It's embarrassing that you're so silent all the time."

Chen Zhi said, "I didn't mean to. I know you don't know where he is, and I don't want to embarrass you. I want to ask about his past."

"What is it? I'm not sure I know everything. There are many things he doesn't tell me."

"It's okay, you must know this," he said slowly, "about your studio abroad, and his ex."

Ren He hesitated for three seconds and said, "Yes, he did like that guy, but nothing happened. Later, he reconciled with his ex and he returned home."

"What happened after that?"

"After that? They lost contact after that." Ren He advised, "You are in this situation now, there is no need for you to dwell on his past. To be fair, there is no need to force the fate between people, especially for people like Feng Ran."

"What kind of person is he?"

"Changing partners is as easy as drinking water." Ren He laughed, "Believe it or not, he probably has someone by his side now. I've never seen him be single for more than a month. In addition to the serious relationships, there are all kinds of relationships that you can't imagine." Chen

Zhi lowered his head and looked at the porridge in front of him, his eyelashes covering the deep emotions in his eyes. Ren He stared at him and continued, "Many people think they are special. But unfortunately, everyone is the same in his eyes."

Chen Zhi said, "Did you know that he can make eighty-one kinds of porridge?"

"Eighty-one kinds? You really believe it." Ren He said happily, "That's because the previous one had stomach problems, so he learned a few kinds. At most, there are only eleven or twelve kinds..."

Chen Zhi didn't hear what he said next.

At the end of the dinner, Chen Zhi said goodbye to him at the door of the hotel.

"I'm going to leave. I've bothered you a lot these days."

"Really?" Ren He said, feeling relieved after seeing off a big Buddha. "You're not going to look for him?"

"No. My dad passed away. I'm going back to take care of some things first."

Ren He was stunned. "Such a big thing? You... condolences."

"Thank you. If possible, tell Feng Ran for me. As for whether to attend the funeral, it's his freedom."

"Then should I go or not?"

Ren He said, "How should I know? If you ask me, you'd better not go. What identity and status do you have? Your family and his family have cut off their relationship now. You can't go as Chen Zhi's fiancé."

"That's right." Feng Ran said, "What else did he say to you?"

"Nothing else. He was really stubborn. He went to the door of the bar to block me." Ren He was still frightened. "My little brother and I were scared. You should compensate us for mental damages."

Feng Ran spent two or three days in confusion. Everyone - in fact, there were only two - did not recommend him to go. This was obviously a conspiracy designed by Shen Zhi. If he went, he would definitely not come back.

So he chose not

to go after wavering. When He Chuan came back, his head was covered with snow. When he stood at the entrance and brushed off the remaining snow on his leather gloves, Feng Ran poked his head out of the room holding a hot water bottle: "You're back."

He Chuan: "Yeah. Shen Zhengming was buried today."

"How did you know?"

"My dad told me. It just happened to be a week of vigil."

"Oh..."

Feng Ran was uneasy. Will something happen to Shen Zhi? Probably not. That's his territory, with his family and relatives there.

The next day, he called Feng Qing several times in a row, but no one answered.

Feng Ran scratched his head in the silver shop, unable to sit still. He got up, sat down, and things banged against each other.

He Chuan said, "If you can't stand it, get out."

Feng Ran stood up: "Okay. I won't bother you."

The cold wind outside was like a knife. Feng Ran woke up after being blown for a while and went to buy meat buns along the familiar street. Suddenly he remembered that his mobile phone had been set by Chen Zhi so that he could not contact anyone. So now...

another thought refuted in his mind, how could it be, it was impossible for Chen Zhi to find out about him at this time.

As he was swaying, his cell phone rang. It was his sister.

He picked it up -

"Feng Ran." The person on the other end said.

He was speechless. At this moment, snow was falling from the gray sky, landing on the knuckles holding the phone, and falling into his wide-open eyes. He was as if time had stopped.

"It's me."

Feng Ran hung up the phone.

Before he could adjust his breathing, the second call came again. He

hung up.

Then, the third, the fourth...all hung up.

Until a text message came.

"Feng Ran, answer the phone."

"Let me hear your voice."

"Aren't you worried about your sister?"

"You and her, you haven't been in touch for a few days." Shen

Zhi sat in the studio drinking coffee.

He used to forbid everyone to eat in the studio, and even drink water very rarely. A long time ago, Shen Yuan was beaten by Shen Zhi for a week because a piece of fried chicken bread crumbs fell on the drawing paper. He beat him every time he met.

Later, this ban was broken by Feng Ran. During that time, the more Shen Zhi forbad him to do something, the more he wanted to do it. Mix milk tea with expensive paint, spread cream on white paper, hide the used spicy snack bag in the narrow gap behind the curtain, and make the whole house stink.

Do bad things in various ways.

It was a month ago.

Now the house is about to be sold, and most of the things have been cleared out, so naturally there are no taboos. It's

a bit noisy outside the door, so he can only wait here.

For many years, this tiny place has always been the only pure land in the family.

He is waiting for Feng Ran's call.

Feng Ran will definitely call, he is very confident.

The coffee is not even finished when the phone rang.

"Chen Zhi, what did you do to Feng Qing?"

"Long time no see, Feng Ran, how are you doing recently?" Shen Zhi said gently. In such a bad environment, only Feng Ran's voice made him feel at ease.

"Do you believe me and I will call the police?"

Chen Zhi laughed, "You are so brave now, are you with He Chuan?"

"Our business is our business, and has nothing to do with others. Don't do anything that will make you regret."

"Same with you, Feng Ran. Don't let yourself regret it." Chen Zhi said, "I want you to show up at my house on time at 6:30 tomorrow morning, otherwise I can't guarantee what will happen."

"Ah? 6:30? I can't make it."

"It has nothing to do with me. Think about whether your time is more important, or your sister." Chen Zhi hung up the phone. Feng Ran

was very annoyed by the feeling of having to jump into a fire pit knowing that he had to jump in.

He Chuan persuaded him that Chen Zhi would not do anything to his sister, at least he didn't need to worry about her personal safety. He Chuan was silent until Feng Ran mentioned that the two had been engaged.

They were all unsure whether Feng Qing would be forced to make any choice if Chen Zhi compromised.

Feng Ran said, "I'll go."

He Chuan said, "I'll go too."

"No need. You've helped me too much."

He Chuan had to follow him, and he had no choice. The two of them rushed to catch the high-speed train and took a taxi to the outside of Shen Zhi's residential area. Feng Ran asked He Chuan to wait outside before entering the door, and He Chuan agreed.

Feng Ran never came back.

The eighth hour that He Chuan waited outside the door was in the evening. The bright light illuminated the entire sky, and his eyes were blinded for a moment.

A deafening explosion sounded before he rushed to the ruins.

His footsteps were shaken and retreated.

Blazing black smoke rose into the sky and enveloped the sky.

He rushed over. Rushed to the collapsed and burning house.

Property vehicles drove in one after another, followed by private cars, fire trucks, police cars...

and his father He Xun.

His father asked, "Why are you here? Where have you been during this time?"

He didn't know how to answer.

"Go back quickly, it's dangerous!"

His father pushed him, but he didn't move.

"Why are you still standing here? Who are you looking for?" His father was extremely worried. "Chen Zhi might be in there. I have to go check it out."

He Chuan's heart seemed to be cracking open, leaking sour liquid. He didn't want to talk, nor did he want to take another step. He stared at the distance, his mind full of thoughts.

"Feng Ran..."

Eight hours ago.

Feng Ran paused at the door for a moment and walked into the courtyard.

He called out to Shen Zhi, but no one answered. He walked around the courtyard. The moss, stone steps, and piles of debris were all the same as usual.

He pushed open the door.

The original furniture and appliances in the house were gone. The empty house was left with debris on the ground, and the dust was one centimeter thick. This was not in line with Shen Zhi's habits.

He said, "Shen Zhi, when are you going to come out?"

Shen Zhi walked out of the room on the second floor, leaning against the railing, looking down at him.

"You're late," he said softly, "It's 7:15 now."

"That's nonsense! The only train goes to Jiang City at 7 o'clock, and it's impossible to get there at 6:30."

Shen Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Then it seems that we are not far away."

"Don't guess blindly, I will never go to that city again."

Feng Ran raised his neck and spoke uncomfortably, lowered his head to the second floor, and looked directly at Shen Zhi from three or five meters away: "Where is Feng Qing?" Shen

Zhi looked at him deeply: "I miss you so much."

"What happened to your family?"

"I miss you so much."

Feng Ran warned: "If you talk nonsense again, I will leave."

Shen Zhi smiled silently: "She is fine. It's just that I missed you and borrowed her mobile phone."

Feng Ran called Feng Qing without saying anything.

After a while, she picked up the phone with a confused and tired tone: "Brother? What are you doing? I'm sleeping."

"Where are you?"

"Me? I... am in Jiang City, and I'm going home at noon today."

"You gave your phone to Shen Zhi yesterday--"

Before he finished speaking, Shen Zhi took two steps up, snatched the phone, and threw it downstairs.

Feng Ran said, "What are you doing?"

He wanted to go downstairs to pick up his phone and leave this place. Shen Zhi hugged him from behind, his warm and tight body pressed against him, and his infinitely gentle voice rang in his ears.

"Who have you been with during this period?"

Feng Ran did not answer, resisting the hug.

Shen Zhi's arms tightened around him, and his bones were about to fall apart.

"Tell me, who is it? He Chuan, or someone else?"

"...It has nothing to do with you. Let go."

"Have you ever thought about me? Tell me and I'll let go."

Feng Ran closed his eyes.

"Tell me, do you miss me?"

"More than that."

Chen Zhi smiled: "What do you mean, what do

you mean by 'more than that'?" "Don't force me."

"You're with He Chuan, right?"

Feng Ran acquiesced.

Chen Zhi understood and smiled again: "I knew it. I knew it the first time I saw him."

Feng Ran didn't understand what he knew and said: "Even if it was someone else, it has nothing to do with you."

Chen Zhi pulled him into the bedroom and threw him on the bed. His clothes were violently taken off piece by piece, and his breathing became rapid.

He had been unable to have a physical reaction with other people for a long time, and even he himself found it difficult to arouse interest through video, but when Chen Zhi just touched him, he...

"Where are you guys at, have you done it?" Chen Zhi, with his clothes intact, was divination-like, and his hand stroked down his cheek, carefully checking, "Did you take a shower this morning?"

Feng Ran's blood rushed to one place. Chen Zhi's movements were extremely rough, and he wanted to resist, but he wanted to shout even more. He was embarrassed to be in a lower position and forced to be emotional. Shen Zhi seemed to notice it and wanted to make him more embarrassed. He stood up and looked at him.

"Why don't you say anything?" He pushed his knee against the hard penis with a slight smile on his lips.

Feng Ran's forehead was sweating. He said in a low and annoyed voice: "Nonsense, what's the point of living together if you don't do it."

He had to tell a little lie, otherwise Shen Zhi would be lawless.

As expected, Shen Zhi's movements stopped.

His hair fell down, covering half of his face.

His voice trembled: "Why, is he a good person? Why does he treat me like this."

"..."

He raised his head, his always calm eyes were full of pain, he almost used up all his strength to restrain his emotional outburst: "Why, Feng Ran. When did you start, have you been cheating for a long time, but just kept it from me? How am I worse than him, is he better to you than me, does he love you more than me?"

Something in Feng Ran's mind suddenly collapsed, he couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted in a louder voice: "Yes, he is fucking worry-free and trouble-free, I feel relaxed and comfortable with him, unlike you, when I am with you, there is not a day that I am not worried and scared, for fear that you will go crazy!

"He can't compare to you, but at least, he won't put me under house arrest or force me, he won't plot against me from the beginning, and he won't install a locator and a blocker for me! I beg you, Shen Zhi, wake up, the love you are talking about is all about control and possessiveness, it is your own selfishness, this is not love, and I can't afford it!

"I am just a slut, but I still miss you and want to come back to see you. Try to find another one as stupid as me? I'll find one!"

Shen Zhi couldn't stop shaking all over.

His beautiful eyes were moist and red, tears fell one by one, and his lips were as pale as his face. Feng Ran realized what he said, and was a little flustered. He wanted to push him away and get off the bed, but was pressed down hard.

Shen Zhi's strength was surprisingly strong. He lowered his body, groped under the bed with his hands, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Do you love me?"

"What do you want, Shen Zhi!"

"I'm asking you if you love me, answer."

While Feng Ran was hesitating, Shen Zhi took out from under the bed...

a black "Python" revolver, which he remembered was American, and he often used it when playing shooting competitions. The

black muzzle of the gun pointed at him, and he was dumbfounded.

No, no... This is fake! Does Shen Zhi really have this ability? But why is the workmanship of this thing so exquisite, and Shen Zhi is so serious?

"Chen Zhi! Where did you get this thing?" At this point, the truth and falsehood should be put aside. He shouted out of control, "Put it down!"

Shen Zhi said, "Answer me."

"Are you crazy? Do you want to die?"

"Yes, do you want to go to hell with me?"

"I want to live two more years!" Shen

Zhi actually laughed in this situation, crying as he laughed, and said, "Answer me, Feng Ran."

"I love you." Feng Ran said, "I have never loved you more than today."

"Why."

"I don't know, maybe it's poisoned. Fuck it, put your hand down, I beg you. I give up."

"You love me, but with someone else."

"No, I lied to you." Feng Ran was about to collapse, "Calm down, okay? Tell me first if this is a real thing?"

The thing was split into two in Shen Zhi's hand, reassembled, and transformed into an exquisite Rubik's Cube.

"Don't be afraid," Shen Zhi curled his lips, and with a pull of his hands, the Rubik's Cube turned into a rectangular box, "It's a toy produced by my father's factory. Later, it failed to pass the approval, so they only made a prototype and gave it to me."

Feng Ran was almost fainted by this prank.

In his frightened breath, Shen Zhi said happily: "You are willing to lie to me for my whim, I am very happy, and let you go temporarily. But remember what you said and did, I will definitely make you pay the price."

"...What did I lie to you about?"

Shen Zhi pinched his cheek: "Do you think I'm easy to play with? Feng Ran, you are wrong. You followed He Chuan and left me, leaving me there, leaving me alone, and not caring about me. You may not know how I have been through this month... Don't worry, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life."
