Chapter 74: Shen Chi: I’m Taking Him Down With Me!

[Human, your character setting! Your character setting!]

At the critical moment, the system suddenly came online, screaming.

Although the scene before it left it dumbfounded, it still remembered the mission. It just did not know whether the plot was too explosive, because this time there had not even been an OOC warning.

But Shen Chi was already furious. What character setting? Right now, he wanted to kill someone.

“Who needs this character setting anyway!”

“I’m taking him down with me today!”

Facts proved that one should never speak provocatively too soon.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sluggish warning finally came online.

[Warning, warning. Host’s character setting has been violated. Random punishment will now begin…]

Shen Chi cursed on the spot.

What decent person could maintain an aloof character setting all year round without even a trace of anger? That was not called being a normal person. That was called being a robot!

Unfortunately, this thing was like it had no brain. No matter how he complained, it continued broadcasting.

The system, however, comforted him. [Forget it, forget it. We won’t lower ourselves to the level of a stupid system. A knowledgeable system like me is already rare.]

After Shen Chi finished cursing the warning system, he turned back and went head-to-head with Lu Chenzhou again.

With both hands gripping his belt and nothing else he could use to attack, he simply rammed his head into him.

“Lu. Chen. Zhou!” He gnashed his teeth. His forehead had turned red from the impact, but if one listened carefully, one would hear that he was already panicking. His voice was no longer as calm as before, carrying a trace of fear. “Don’t you dare!”

The moment Shen Chi rammed his head into him, it caused Lu Chenzhou no harm at all. It was neither painful nor itchy. Instead, Secretary Shen hurt himself. His eyes filled with misty moisture, and the helpless frustration made fear appear on his beautiful face.

Fear…

That subtle emotion made Lu Chenzhou regain a sliver of clarity.

Although Secretary Shen, wronged and frightened with misty eyes, was another kind of beautiful sight, Lu Chenzhou did not like it. Or rather, he felt a little heartache.

His Secretary Shen should be high above everyone. Those cold, clear eyes should not place anyone in them.

“Shen Chi.” Lu Chenzhou called his name with restraint. His gaze was both clear and mad. On one side was the instinctive pull of the susceptible period, and on the other was Shen Chi’s fearful gaze.

That one full-name call of “Shen Chi” was finally no longer that damned, sick “baby” or “wife.” Shen Chi’s eyes immediately lit up, and he spoke with delight.

“Lu Chenzhou, you’re awake, aren’t you?”

Lu Chenzhou’s eyes were red, and his breathing had become scorching hot. Even the strongest Alpha found it hard to resist instinct, especially when the person beside him was the one he held at the very tip of his heart.

For him to have endured until now already showed astonishing willpower.

He took a deep breath. There was no pleasant fruity scent in the air, but Shen Chi’s presence was far too strong. He could not ignore it at all. Or rather… he simply could not bear to ignore it.

In the end, with the last bit of reason he had left, he raised his hand.

His burning palm covered Shen Chi’s eyes. His voice was hoarse. His mouth was apologizing, but his gaze was wrapped in an extremely frenzied possessiveness.

He said, “Baby, I’m sorry.”

The taut string in Shen Chi’s mind completely snapped with that hoarse “baby.”

Under the broad palm, Shen Chi’s pupils shook.

The bite-stopper pressed close to his cheek. Under that cold touch, he suddenly lost all his strength.

He should have pushed him away!

But right now, his whole body had no strength at all. Shen Chi’s breathing went chaotic, and he hurriedly called for the system.

“System!! What’s going on!”

The system said, [Ah, the random punishment has begun. You’ll lose your strength now.]

Shen Chi sucked in a cold breath.

A curse burst straight out of his mouth.

The system was still comforting him. [Three minutes. Just three minutes. After three minutes, the punishment will disappear. Human, hold on!]

Shen Chi was going insane. What was there to hold on to?

Three minutes…

After three minutes, everything would be too late!

Especially now, when a certain clingy mad dog’s scorching breath could be felt even through the bite-stopper.

“Baby, I don’t want to hurt you either. Be good.”

“If you don’t say anything, I’ll take it as your agreement.”

…

At some point, the car had stopped. After the driver parked in the garage, he quietly left.

After an unknown amount of time, there was finally some movement in the back seat. The car door opened, and the first person to get out was unexpectedly not Lu Chenzhou, but Shen Chi.

The butler had already been waiting nearby. Seeing him get out first, he was a little surprised.

“Mr. Shen.”

Shen Chi’s clothes were complete, only slightly disheveled. His steps were not strange either. The only difference was his hands.

Beneath the sleeves of his suit, those fair, slender hands were still trembling.

His condition did not look good. His beautiful face had lost its glow. His eyes were swollen, as if he had cried. His lips were broken, with threads of blood seeping out, but judging from the wound, it looked more like he had bitten them himself.

The butler was startled by his appearance.

“Mr. Shen, are you all right?”

Before Shen Chi could speak, Lu Chenzhou finally stepped out from the other side.

Compared with him, Lu Chenzhou’s condition seemed to have been greatly relieved. His entire person carried a sense of satisfaction. Only those eyes, the moment he got out of the car, fixed tightly on his Secretary Shen, unwilling to move away even a little.

It was only when the butler spoke that he glanced at him with displeasure.

“Butler, mind your own business.”

The butler looked at Shen Chi, then at Lu Chenzhou, and finally left.

Lu Chenzhou took a few steps to Shen Chi’s side and leaned his head against Shen Chi’s shoulder with an aggrieved look.

“Baby, are you going to abandon me after using me again? Clearly, at the beginning, you didn’t refuse me.”

His approach made Shen Chi’s back tense instantly.

Then, hearing those shameless words, Shen Chi turned back in anger and slapped him.

“I didn’t refuse you?”

Most of the force of the slap landed on the bite-stopper. Shen Chi’s palm hurt, but his eyes were red with fury.

Lu Chenzhou immediately grabbed his hand. While rubbing it for him, he shamelessly said with absolute confidence, “For a full three minutes, you didn’t refuse me. Baby, I gave you a chance.”

At the mention of this, Shen Chi became even angrier.

That damned dog system had used every underhanded trick on him. Was it that he had not wanted to refuse? He had been tricked by that dog system and had no way to refuse!

Yet Lu Chenzhou smiled happily. To him, those three minutes meant that his Secretary Shen had hesitated.

As long as he hesitated, even if he ultimately refused, that meant he had wavered.

“If you want to hit me next time, don’t do it yourself.” Lu Chenzhou looked at his reddened palm and sighed in distress. “I won’t even feel pain.”

Today’s events had hit Shen Chi too hard. Not only did he want to take Lu Chenzhou down with him, he also wanted to take the system down with him.

“System, I already slapped his face. Why isn’t there another punishment?”

This was the first time the system had seen someone actively asking for punishment.

He had gone mad. Its host had gone mad!

[There’s an upper limit. It’s like violating traffic rules while riding a bike. Once you receive the fine, it remains valid for the whole day.] After saying this, the system trembled with fear but still could not help reminding him, [Um. Human, drive carefully. Safety matters to you, me, and everyone!]

Unfortunately, its reminder was nothing but farting to Shen Chi.

The next second, Shen Chi suddenly laughed. He yanked his hand back, then grabbed Lu Chenzhou’s hair and pulled hard.

Lu Chenzhou’s scalp tightened from the pull, and his head instinctively lowered to the side.

This action made him unable to resist licking his lips.

“Baby…”

Shen Chi’s hand tightened again. Gritting his teeth, he warned word by word, “Lu Chenzhou, what happened today was an accident. I was only helping you get through your susceptible period. Do you understand?”

Lu Chenzhou willingly lowered his head. Shamelessly, he curved his lips and sighed pitifully under Shen Chi’s furious gaze.

“Baby, how heartless.”
