Straight Corporate Slave Accidentally Stumbles into the School's F4 - Chapter 13
Chapter 13
A desire to cherish
The punk in jeans clenched his teeth, the veins on his forehead bulging, and he nearly bit his tongue until it bled.
Having grown up in this area, they knew better than anyone whose family had money and whose temper was explosive.
After loitering in the underworld for so many years, there were still people they didn’t dare provoke the kind where provoking them meant being not far from having your bones crushed to dust. Ferrio was one of them.
He didn’t dare actually fight Ferrio; he only dared to steal a few vicious glares when Ferrio wasn’t looking, or… stage a sneak attack.
The man clenched his palm tightly; at some point, a small knife had appeared in his hand.
“What? Want to stab me with that knife?” Ferrio spread his arms and tilted his head. “Go ahead, I’m giving you the chance.”
“Punk!” Ferrio’s expression was too contemptuous, and the punk in jeans was completely enraged. “We’re here to deal with Qiao An. What does it have to do with you? Move!”
He waved his hand, signaling the punks behind him to hurry downstairs.
The punks behind him looked at each other, each dripping with cold sweat, looking for any chance to bolt downstairs.
This movement acted as a fuse. Ferrio hadn’t originally intended to do it himself getting his hands dirty wasn’t worth it but since the people in front of him couldn’t understand human speech, he couldn’t be blamed.
“!!!”
Two floors away, Qiao Nai couldn’t hear what they were saying; he could only hear crashing sounds. Halfway through, something even fell through the gap in the stairs.
The sounds of the struggle grew louder. Qiao Nai clenched his fingers, shielding Harrison in an inconspicuous corner behind him. He turned and said, “Stay here for now and don’t move. I’m going upstairs to provide some backup.”
Judging by the commotion upstairs, Ferrio was truly fighting them. At this moment, he had to go up and help.
Although going up to help now carried a high probability that Ferrio would notice something was wrong, there was no time to think too much…
No matter how well Ferrio could fight, he was still a young master. It wouldn’t do if he actually got injured.
Qiao Nai let go of Harrison’s hand and was about to head upstairs when a disheveled dark figure lunged down, slamming hard into his shoulder. By the time Qiao Nai turned to look, the person had already fled.
Not just that one person, but several others also came scrambling down; some even jumped directly out of the windows.
Qiao Nai hurriedly rushed upstairs. When he reached the sixth floor, only Ferrio was left.
“Are you… okay?” Qiao Nai reached Ferrio’s side, first carefully checking his face, then his wrists.
Several streaks of blood were flowing over the back of the hand covered in black tattoos.
“Not mine, theirs.” Ferrio looked down at Qiao Nai. “It’s dirty, don’t touch.”
For some reason, when Qiao Nai was anxious, he looked even more like the pet rat at home; his nose was always red, which actually gave rise to a desire to cherish him, a wish to tease him.
However, the tip of Qiao Nai’s nose had a small mole that the pet rat didn’t have. Set against his reddened eyelids, this sense of endearment became even deeper.
“You’re hurt.” Qiao Nai’s gaze landed on Ferrio’s abdomen, where the color was somewhat dark and heavy. He pulled back Ferrio’s coat and saw that the white fabric underneath was soaked with a small patch of blood.
The moment Qiao Nai looked up, Ferrio couldn’t help but reach out his finger and lightly touch that small mole.
It was hot.
It turns out it was hot.
What about further down?
Uncontrollably, Ferrio’s finger gradually moved downward until it touched Qiao Nai’s lips.
So red.
So soft.
And so hot.
Seeing that Ferrio’s finger was about to touch his tongue, Qiao Nai pulled back, looking at him with reddened eyelids. “Wha… what are you doing?”
“You already took off my clothes.” Ferrio rubbed his fingertip, which still carried the warmth from the tip of Qiao Nai’s tongue. His Adam’s apple rolled slightly as he looked down and said, “Can’t I touch you for a bit?”
Whether Ferrio was joking with this sentence, Qiao Nai didn’t take it seriously.
After all, Ferrio didn’t look like the type of person who made jokes.
Could he have been hit in the head?
Qiao Nai looked at him with a frown, checking his head several times but finding nothing unusual.
He said, “I didn’t take your clothes off on purpose. You’re bleeding; hurry inside so I can bandage it.”
“It’s no matter.” Ferrio stared into Qiao Nai’s eyes, as if trying to see right through him. “It was just an accidental scratch from a blade. Just a flesh wound.”
One person against so many.
Even if Qiao Nai truly believed this guy Ferrio could fight, it was impossible to believe he had only taken one small nick.
“I don’t believe you.”
Qiao Nai took out his keys to open the door, but in that instant, his wrist was tightly gripped by Ferrio.
Before Qiao Nai could say anything before he could even react Ferrio took his hand and pressed it directly against his own abdomen.
A wave of warmth came from the abdomen.
Qiao Nai’s eyes widened as he looked at him, not knowing what this meant.
Then, pressing down on Qiao Nai’s fingers, Ferrio unfastened the hem of his shirt button by button, revealing a patch of skin. “Didn’t you say you didn’t believe me? I’ll prove it.”
Ferrio had trained his body well; the muscle lines on his taut abdomen were clearly visible. Not only were they packed one after another, but they were also exceptionally hard countless times better looking than the muscles of “muscle men” found online.
Qiao Nai let his palm stay pressed against them for several seconds without pulling away.
He admired people with great physiques and had scrolled past many online, but this was the first time he had actually touched one. He hadn’t expected it to feel so good…
Realizing his unhealthy thoughts, Qiao Nai hurriedly withdrew his hand, the tips of his ears turning bright red. He stepped back and hurriedly opened the door while rubbing his neck. “You go in first, I’ll go call Harrison.”
In his embarrassment, Qiao Nai walked very quickly.
Even though the mid-winter air was cold, his entire body felt as scalding as boiling water, especially the temperature in his palm.
Qiao Nai shook his head vigorously, trying to calm himself down. He could control his mind not to wander, but he couldn’t control his racing heartbeat.
He inhaled and exhaled several times in succession, but to no avail.
The studio Qiao Nai rented was a bit small, but fortunately, it was clean. With no miscellaneous clutter, the small space appeared somewhat spacious.
When he brought Harrison over, Ferrio was leaning against the entryway wall with his arms crossed.
“Why… aren’t you going in?”
During these ten or so minutes, Ferrio hadn’t tidied the messy hem of his clothes; instead, he had unbuttoned his collar. From Qiao Nai’s perspective, he could still catch a glimpse of those smooth muscle lines out of the corner of his eye.
The thought of it made his body feel itchy, especially in his heart.
Ferrio looked toward the living room, which was so empty it only had a two-seater sofa and a black coffee table that had been used for who-knows-how-long, with peeling paint.
Having known Qiao An for so many years, this was the first time he had come to Qiao An’s home. He had expected the apartment Qiao An rented to be small, but he hadn’t expected it to be this small.
“You can sit anywhere.” Qiao Nai hurriedly pulled a stool over to the sofa. “I usually live alone and haven’t set up much furniture.”
Qiao Nai felt that this studio was already very good for such a prime location. Moreover, he lived alone with no roommates, which was already quite excellent.
Of course, that was only for him.
In the eyes of a young master, it probably looked like playing house.
“How long have you lived here?” Ferrio asked suddenly.
“Over two years.”
It should be two or three years, right? Qiao Nai calculated in his head. Before he could figure out the exact number of days, he suddenly heard Ferrio say:
“Then do you want to move to a different place?”
