Life and Death Insurance – CH 029

Chapter 29

“Shen Meimei is really audacious, daring to blackmail even her own boss. I bet she was already dating June at the time, so she wanted to blackmail him and then walk away. Isn’t it just a twist of fate that he ran into Xu Yang at the gym? I guessed it the moment I saw Yu Shenglin’s expression when he saw him. That scumbag, seeing Yu Shenglin with me, actually accused him of being promiscuous, saying he’d just gotten into trouble and was already hooking up with someone else. Yu Shenglin was so angry he started fighting with him…”

Having seen Yu Shenglin’s outburst yesterday, and with Yang Yiqing by his side, it seems Xu Yang wouldn’t get away with it.

As expected, Yang Yiqing said, “Xu Yang was alone at the time, which is why he dared to mock Yu Shenglin. He probably didn’t expect Yu Shenglin to be so agitated, and as a result, he got punched several times. If I hadn’t pulled Yu Shenglin back, Xu Yang really wouldn’t have been able to escape.”

“You little brat, tell me honestly, did you take sides?”

As a longtime friend, Ling Zhengzhong knew that with Yang Yiqing’s inherent flaws, he would never obediently stand by and watch. Sure enough, upon hearing this, he immediately burst into laughter.

“When I pulled Yu Shenglin away, I took the opportunity to kick Xu Yang twice and punch him. That kid was completely dazed and didn’t even see me add anything. I’d beaten him up and vented my anger, and Yu Shenglin immediately said he wanted to go home. After I went back with him, we cleaned up all his old things and threw them all out. That guy cried while cleaning, and finally, he hugged me and burst into tears. Nothing I did could soothe him. My poor clothes—I just bought them in France, and I’d only worn them once…”

Listening to Yang Yiqing’s complaints, Ling Zhengzhong started to laugh. It wasn’t easy to make Yang Yiqing so disheveled.

“Where is Yu Shenglin now?”

“He’s taking a shower. Otherwise, would I dare call you? That’s it. You know, this job I took not only didn’t make me money, but I even lost money. My suit…”

Ling Zhengzhong had already hung up the phone.

He recounted the incident to Xiang Tian. Luckily, he hadn’t cooked too much; the absence of those two saved him a lot of trouble.

After the meal, Ling Zhengzhong was even more impressed with Xiang Tian’s culinary skills. He couldn’t understand how ordinary vegetables and tofu could be transformed into such delicious dishes in Xiang Tian’s hands. Truly, skill lies in the ordinary! This little hamster was wasting his talent by not running a restaurant.

After the meal, Xiang Tian turned on his computer and started working.

“Zhengzhong, you should go to sleep first. I still have some work to do.”

“Doesn’t your company give you a holiday for New Year’s Day?”

“Yes, but of course, I still have to finish what I need to do.”

Watching Xiang Tian diligently working on the computer, to avoid disturbing him, Ling Zhengzhong went back to his room and lay down on the bed to watch the small TV. Soon, he drifted off to sleep, but in his hazy state, a question suddenly popped into his mind.

Last night, because there were two other people, he had to share a bed with Xiang Tian. He wondered if Xiang Tian wanted to sleep in the big bed alone tonight.

So sleepy. Never mind; if he wants to sleep in the big bed, he can sleep there. He would get some sleep first…

Ling Zhengzhong reached to the side and hugged the pillow to his chest.

So warm and soft, this pillow felt so comfortable…

Ling Zhengzhong thought this before drifting off to sleep.

What was going on?

Ling Zhengzhong opened his eyes. Before him was Xiang Tian’s gentle sleeping face, and he was currently holding him tightly in his arms, one leg draped over Xiang Tian, ​​and his hand slipped under his pajamas to rest on his ribs…

Was it cold last night? Why was he snuggled up to Xiang Tian again? He remembered hugging his own pillow when he fell asleep, so why was he waking up to find himself with Xiang Tian instead?

Xiang Tian was still asleep. He must have been up very late last night. But this little hamster’s sleeping posture was really cute—a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, a faint blush on his cheeks, and his skin even looked smoother than a woman’s…

Ling Zhengzhong stared at Xiang Tian like a lovesick fool for a long time before realizing his current ambiguous posture was inappropriate. He gently withdrew his hands and feet, then quietly got out of bed and left the room.

Xiang Tian’s eyes were still closed, but a smile appeared on his lips. This Ling Zhengzhong had used him as a pillow all night again.

Last night, he returned to the bedroom and had just lain down on the bed when Ling Zhengzhong immediately moved closer. The timing was so precise that he suspected the man was pretending to be asleep.

Getting up now would probably embarrass Zhengzhong. He might as well sleep some more; after all, today was a day off. Xiang Tian rolled over and fell asleep again.

In his drowsy state, Xiang Tian was suddenly awakened by Ling Zhengzhong’s angry roar. A series of curses came from the outer room. Not knowing what had happened, he quickly got up and ran out.

Ling Zhengzhong was standing in front of the coffee table in the hall, angrily rummaging through a package sent by an express courier.

“Zhengzhong, what’s wrong?”

Ling Zhengzhong was holding a pair of women’s red lace panties. Seeing Xiang Tian approach, he quickly threw the panties at him, angrily saying, “Xiang Tian, ​​who’s so bored as to send me these women’s things so early in the morning? What bad luck!”

He angrily threw the panties aside and then turned the rest of the contents of the box upside down.

“What’s going on?”

Xiang Tian stepped forward and looked at the items that had angered Ling Zhengzhong so much.

The box was an ordinary packaging box that could be bought anywhere. What was interesting was its contents. Xiang Tian casually flipped through it and found it filled with bras and panties of various colors, even some pajamas and nightgowns—all worn clothes, about a dozen pieces, mostly silk, haphazardly piled up in the box.

This clearly wasn’t someone’s idle act; it was obviously intentional.

Xiang Tian called Chu Feng. “Cousin, there’s a bit of trouble with Zhengzhong. Come over right away.”
