Chapter 65: Dog Trainer—Shen Chi!
Ji Yanzhi was talking far too much. So much that Lu Chenzhou could barely control himself.
Why was his wife not talking to him? Why was his wife not looking at him? Why was his wife paying so much attention to someone else?
Was there something wrong with him?
His gloomy gaze was obscure and unreadable. Lu Chenzhou stared at the phone in Shen Chi’s hand. Finally, when the two of them reached the trash can, someone could no longer hold himself back.
The trash can was violently destroyed by him. That terrifying strength made Shen Chi’s pupils quake.
That was a stainless-steel trash can, yet he had torn it apart so easily. If that had been him… Shen Chi suddenly thought of how he used to mock those dramas where people tore devils apart with their bare hands. If it was Lu Chenzhou, he really could do it.
He was so frightened that he did not dare move. Yet Ji Yanzhi, completely unaware of the situation through the phone, was still chattering nonstop.
“Secretary Shen, you must stay in contact with me. The current situation is far too special. I need to record it.”
“Also, if President Lu has any other special conditions, you must tell me honestly. You absolutely cannot hide anything.”
Listening to the voice on the phone, Shen Chi answered with difficulty, “Okay.”
Ji Yanzhi also breathed a sigh of relief. “Then please keep the call connected with me, Secretary Shen.”
There was not much trash in the trash can at the moment, so Lu Chenzhou quickly found the pheromone bracelet. Made of a special material, it had not suffered any damage even after being smashed by him.
He held the pheromone bracelet out in front of Shen Chi. This gesture was like a vicious dog willingly handing its leash to its owner.
Only…
Shen Chi shrank back a little.
That tiny movement instantly changed Lu Chenzhou’s expression. He stared at him darkly and approached him step by step. “Baby, you don’t want me anymore?”
“If you don’t want my pheromone bracelet, then… whose do you want?”
“His?”
Ji Yanzhi was truly shot while lying down. He did not dare make a sound. The more he said, the more mistakes he would make. An Alpha with disordered pheromones had no rationality. No—not no rationality. They were outright insane!
Shen Chi’s breathing quickened. He knew his action had angered the other man, but blindly coaxing him and going along with him would not benefit him at all.
Training a dog could not be done by spoiling it blindly. Otherwise, the dog would think it was the owner.
When Shen Chi was nervous, he could not help biting his lower lip. His snow-white teeth pressed down hard, as if they would break the skin in the next second.
But that sting made him clear-headed.
He had it!
“It’s dirty!” Shen Chi endured the fear in his heart and said, “You threw it away yourself, so you’re responsible for cleaning it.”
The vicious dog, who had just been gloomy and terrifying, suddenly quieted down. Lu Chenzhou glanced at the pheromone bracelet in his hand, then laughed through the special black bite-stopper. “So baby thinks it’s dirty. I thought… baby thought I was dirty…”
“Baby.” He tilted his head with a smile, his whole person carrying a wicked aura. “Do you hate me?”
Shen Chi could not help biting his lower lip again, but before he could give an answer, Lu Chenzhou suddenly reached out and pressed a finger against the corner of his lips.
Shen Chi froze all over. In the next second, thinking of something, he immediately pushed his hand away in disgust. “Pah! You just rummaged through the trash can. Where are you putting your hand?”
Lu Chenzhou laughed lowly, but his eyes stayed fixed on him without blinking.
“Sorry, baby.” His apology was not sincere at all. “I thought you hated me. Baby, you still haven’t answered my question.”
He pressed closer step by step, giving Shen Chi no extra time to think. Fortunately, when people were in danger, adrenaline surged, and they could think even more clearly.
“If you’re obedient, I won’t hate you.” Shen Chi blinked his long lashes, hiding the unease in his heart, then added softly, “But when you act like you did just now, I hate you very much!”
Lu Chenzhou laughed again, saying carelessly, “Is that so? I understand.”
His mouth said he understood, but his hand moved faster than anyone’s.
He directly took Shen Chi’s hand, giving him no chance to refuse.
Shen Chi’s eyes widened. Holding back the tremble of his lashes, he questioned him, “Lu Chenzhou, who allowed you to hold my hand?”
“But I’ve already held it.” Lu Chenzhou stared at the faint redness at the corners of his eyes. “Does baby want to let go?”
There it was again—the fear of being watched by some damp, sinister ghost, making his hair stand on end.
If Shen Chi refused again, he would definitely anger this madman.
He swallowed and pretended to be angry. “I’ll let it go this time. Absolutely no next time!”
“I dirtied baby. Then I’ll clean you properly.”
If there were no conditions, Lu Chenzhou would create them.
He knew Shen Chi was afraid of him, but… so what?
He curved his lips and led Shen Chi to the restroom.
The automatic faucet quickly released clean water.
Lu Chenzhou held Shen Chi’s hand under the faucet and washed it carefully and gently. His gaze was serious, as if he were handling some precious treasure.
Shen Chi did not dare struggle at all. It was just going on for too long. It was only washing hands—did it need to take this long?
A trace of malice also rose in his heart. He stared at Lu Chenzhou’s face, then suddenly splashed water onto him, even onto his face.
“Lu Chenzhou, how long are you planning to wash my hands?”
Because Shen Chi refused to cooperate, Lu Chenzhou’s body was splashed with quite a bit of water, making him look extremely disheveled. Yet he did not care. Instead, right in front of Shen Chi, he stuck out his crimson tongue and licked away a drop of water at the corner of his lips.
Shen Chi felt terrible all over.
Was he dirty or not?!
That was the water he had used to wash his hands!
Shen Chi was on the verge of breaking down, but the other man showed an aggrieved expression.
“I was afraid you’d dislike it.”
Shen Chi: …
Lu Chenzhou asked, “Is baby angry?”
Shen Chi was completely convinced.
A mad dog going mad was not scary. What was scary was a mad dog pretending to be wronged. How could he not see that this guy was pretending?
“Go wash your bracelet.” After saying that, afraid he would drag things out again, Shen Chi added, “Three minutes. If you can’t wash it clean, I’ll throw you into the trash can with it!”
Lu Chenzhou loved this side of him to death.
The usual Secretary Shen was cool and gentle, always carrying a faint, detached smile toward everyone. But this version of him—only Lu Chenzhou had seen it.
Lu Chenzhou was delighted from being scolded.
While he washed the pheromone bracelet, Shen Chi asked the system, “Didn’t you say there was a punishment? Has it started?”
The system said, [It definitely started.]
Before, whenever it said “random punishment,” bad luck would immediately follow. Why was it so strange this time? It had not started even now.
Shen Chi was still wondering when Lu Chenzhou suddenly turned back.
Shen Chi immediately looked at him warily, but the other man reached into his pocket and took out his phone.
“It’s dirty too,” Lu Chenzhou said expressionlessly. “Dirty things should be thrown into the trash can.”
The phone was still on the call, but now he had already thrown it into the trash can.
It was not that it could not be picked back up, but…
There was no need anymore.
The system said, [Random punishment has ended!]
Shen Chi: ?
The system said, [Ahem. Your phone is broken.]
