After saying that, Jiang Cheng voluntarily walked to the stone door. He just took two steps when he turned around to tell Chen Ran, “Isn’t Brother Chen going to come with me?”
Chen Ran licked his lips and smiled, “If Brother Hao removes his hands from his pockets, then I might go with you.”
Jiang Cheng thought about it and grumbled, “Is that so?” He slowly pulled his hand out. A dagger with a wooden hilt was hidden under his wrist. Chen Ran couldn’t help but smile. Jiang Cheng also smiled. The two handsome men looked at each other and smiled in the dim room. The flame reflected their shadows on the wall. As the wind picked up, their shadows flickered. It even felt flirtatious.
“Don’t mind this.” Jiang Cheng worked his shoulders and waved the dagger around, “Su Xiaoxiao gifted me this because she had a crush on me and didn’t hope something bad would happen to me.”
Chen Ran narrowed his eyes. Then, he asked, “Do you two... know each other before this?”
“No.” Jiang Cheng shook his head. His eyes shone, “It was just a quick romance. Brother Chen is not familiar with my personality.” He leaned forward and acted mysteriously, “I don’t like women who are too forward. I prefer them to be more passive.” He swallowed before adding, “It’s the same for men.”
Chen Ran eventually nodded. “Understood.”
Jiang Cheng widened his eyes in shock. “What do you understand? Do you...” His mouth opened, and his eyes wandered over Chen Ran’s body.
After some time, Chen Ran said, “Is Brother Hao not going to consider my suggestion anymore?”
“I can’t help it.” Jiang Cheng shrugged shamelessly, “You know the nature of my relationship with that Fatty. How can I do what you suggest?” Jiang Cheng swallowed and probed, “Actually... why don’t Brother Hao accompany me for two nights? Then, I’ll be able to tell for sure.”
Chen Ran took a deep breath. Then, he slowly pulled his hands out of his pockets, “In that case, I shall not trouble Brother Hao anymore.” He smiled, “Looks like it’s easier for me to deal with both of you at once.”
“Brother Hao,” Chen Ran turned to smile at Jiang Cheng, “You still have the chance to consider my earlier suggestion.” His smile warmed, “Our deal still stands.”
Jiang Cheng leaned against the wall. He was not heavily injured but that was because Chen Ran had been holding back. His right hand that held the dagger trembled. The wound on his right hand accurately sliced through the muscles he used to hold the dagger.
He sighed deeply.
Chen Ran tilted his head at him. His pretty eyes seemed to speak.
“Can you give me a moment?” Jiang Cheng coughed twice as if his throat were caught. “Just ten minutes.”
Chen Ran shook his head lightly, “No.”
“Then... Five minutes?”
“Not even one minute.” Chen Ran regarded him and sighed, “Brother Hao, you need to make a choice now. You have to be the lab rat or the big brother outside.” He smiled, “Stop hoping that the big brother will come to save you. He probably is in more than enough trouble himself.”
“You mean the paintings you left on the ground outside, right?” Jiang Cheng gasped for air. “You can give up on that. I’ve ruined those paintings. Because you used the fuel here to make the paintings, he might be trapped in illusions, but not for long.” Jiang Cheng felt pain trying to straighten his arm, so he tipped his chin at the flame in the centre.
“It’s about time.” The next second, Jiang Cheng suddenly straightened his waist and spoke to Chen Ran confidently, “Are you not satisfied to lose to me, the great Hao Shuai?”
