Chasing You Like a Tenacious Falcon

Chapter 35

After Kong Mingze parted ways with Quan Zhisui, he headed straight for the canteen and quickly found Wei Shixu in a corner.

Wei Shixu's face looked a little pale: "That was fast."

Kong Mingze: "I really couldn't move it myself. I'll just let Quan Zhisui move it herself, she's really strong!"

Thinking of Quan Zhisui's strength, Wei Shixu couldn't help but laugh a little, though his smile was faint.

Kong Mingze: "How are you feeling? Still uncomfortable?"

Wei Shixu: "Stomachache."

Kong Mingze quickly took out medicine and a thermos: "Take your medicine."

Wei Shixu: "You're silly, this medicine is meant to be taken after meals."

Kong Mingze: "Oh right, then I'll go get us food. Want a big chicken leg?"

Wei Shixu gave him a look: "Bro, my stomach hurts... I'll have congee."

Kong Mingze: "Oh right, I'll go buy you congee. That's why I keep telling you not to get so angry all the time. Every time you get angry your stomach hurts, and every bout of pain lasts a whole day..."

Wei Shixu cut him off: "Are you going or not?"

"Going going going! Right away! Wait for me!" Kong Mingze shouted as he ran off.

To make sure Wei Shixu could drink the congee sooner, he paid extra to cut in line. Then he brought back two dinner trays to their spot.

He pushed the congee in front of Wei Shixu, then showed off his own tray: "You drink congee, I'll eat the big chicken leg."

Wei Shixu: "Thanks, I appreciate it."

Kong Mingze: "No need to thank me, just eat, don't talk."

Wei Shixu sighed, making friends with a fool is so tiring.

Oblivious, Kong Mingze ate with relish. Casually he asked, "Your stomach's been bad so many years and never got better. Should we try a different hospital? Can't they cure it completely?"

Wei Shixu: "They're working on it."

Kong Mingze: "Going for acupuncture every noon isn't a long term solution either."

Wei Shixu frowned: "Liangxi's traditional medicine...has lost some of its heritage."

Kong Mingze: "It's because you ate recklessly and brought trouble on yourself. The moment you feel a little better you go back to eating random junk."

Just as the two wanted to continue talking, Zhou Chun appeared with a schoolbag on her back.

She searched all over before finding Wei Shixu sitting in a corner. She didn't expect Kong Mingze to be there too. Zhou Chun's expression immediately soured.

"Wei Shixu, I need to talk to you," she said.

Wei Shixu kept his head down drinking congee, showing no intention of acknowledging her.

Kong Mingze stood up, blocking Zhou Chun's line of sight: "Sorry, Wei Shixu is eating right now. Did you need something?"

Zhou Chun looked at Kong Mingze unhappily: "It's you again!"

Kong Mingze's expression was calm: "Yes, it's me. I suggest you stop looking for Wei Shixu. You've already upset him once today, don't do it a second time."

Right now Wei Shixu was not only in a bad mood but also had stomach pain. Who knows how big a temper he'd fly off the handle with if provoked again, then his stomach would hurt more—a vicious cycle.

No matter what, Kong Mingze wouldn't let Zhou Chun go bother Wei Shixu.

Zhou Chun's anger flared up at once: "Kong Mingze! Who do you think you are, on what grounds do you stop me from seeing Wei Shixu? I'm looking for him, not you!"

Kong Mingze didn't speak, just continued blocking her way.

Zhou Chun: "You're nothing. Your grades are so bad too. You're from two different worlds! You have no right to make decisions for him!"

Kong Mingze nodded: "That's true."

By now Wei Shixu had finished his congee. He took his medicine and thermos and left without a word to anyone.

Zhou Chun still wanted to chase after him, but Kong Mingze deftly blocked her again.

"Kong Mingze!!" Zhou Chun shouted angrily. "Let me through! What gives you the right to stand in my way?"

Kong Mingze: "Yeah, I have no right, but you have even less right."

With that, he sat back down to continue eating.

Zhou Chun stormed off in anger!

But after searching the school and failing to find Wei Shixu, she went back to the dorm. She couldn't get into the boys' dorm.

Who has the right to control Wei Shixu?

The thought made Kong Mingze want to laugh!

Ever since Wei Shixu was kidnapped at age 10, escaped on his own in an unfamiliar city full of his family's enemies, with no phone or map, going days hungry and walking all the way back to Liangxi Town alone through the wilderness...

From that point on, no one in the world had the right to control him, not even his own parents.

That incident was also the root of his chronic stomach problems.

He nearly died!

Someone who has stared death in the face cares about nothing anymore.

Quan Zhisui carried a huge stack of books back to the Zuo family home. As soon as she stepped through the door she ran into Zuo Zichen coming downstairs for dinner.

Zuo Zichen was shocked: "Sis, sis! So many books! Let me help you move them!"

Quan Zhisui looked at his arm still in a cast: "Are you sure?"

Zuo Zichen shook his head: "Not sure."

Quan Zhisui jerked her chin: "Help me call the elevator."

"Oh, oh!" Zuo Zichen hurried to press the elevator button. On the second floor he fawned over her again, opening the door to her room.

This was Quan Zhisui's first time riding the Zuo family elevator. It was a four-story house with two basement levels, so an elevator was indeed necessary.

Having an elevator makes moving stuff so convenient!

Zuo Zhongchen and Xu Zhiyi had slipped away somewhere. The two elders were still soaking in the hot springs at the resort, so it was just Quan Zhisui and Zuo Zichen eating dinner together tonight.

Quan Zhisui had nothing to say, just ate with her head down.

Zuo Zichen wanted to say something to ease the tension between them but didn't dare speak much. He was nervous the whole time.

When they were almost done eating, Quan Zhisui suddenly asked, "What did you do all day today?"

Zuo Zichen reflexively answered, "Played games."

Quan Zhisui: "Played games all day?"

Zuo Zichen nodded: "Yeah, and when I have money I'll buy sis a top of the line PC set too. Those games are so fun."

Quan Zhisui: "I don't play games, I study."

Zuo Zichen: "Oh, okay."

Quan Zhisui: "I want to switch rooms with you."

The feng shui of your room is better for studying and pursuing a career. You playing games in there all day is a waste!

Zuo Zichen miserably nodded: "Okay."

The siblings switching rooms caused another spectacle among the family's domestic staff. The young miss was finally making a move on the main bedroom on the second floor!

Gu Lan was the housekeeper, busy with moving things out and tidying up.

With a forced smile, Zuo Zichen moved his top of the line PC and gaming setup into the smaller adjoining bedroom. Looking at the pink bedroom, he was on the verge of tears.

Quan Zhisui was quite happy. She would put a desk in the scholarly feng shui spot and strive diligently!

Zuo Zichen didn't take everything either. He had too much stuff. Some unopened items he simply left for Quan Zhisui to use.

He made sure to explain: "Sis, these earplugs are really good, it comes with a smaller size; and these headphones, they were a limited edition, I bought both colors - this new set is for you to listen to music. I also have a new ultrathin laptop, and this gaming mouse is the newest model, super lightweight..."

Mostly electronic gadgets, no wonder he's addicted to the internet.

Quan Zhisui accepted it all and patted him on the shoulder: "Kid, you're pretty thoughtful."

Zuo Zichen smiled awkwardly: "It's my honor if sis likes using my stuff."

Quan Zhisui: "No need to be so self-deprecating."

Zuo Zichen: "Serving sis will be my life's purpose."

Quan Zhisui: "Zip that rainbow mouth and get out."

Zuo Zichen: "Yes sis."
