Chapter 41: Black Market Exploration...Two Items That Seem Genuine
Xu Hengzhou emerged from his hidden spot behind the corner and coldly asked, "Why are you following me?"
Startled by the sudden voice behind him, Jiang Lei jumped and turned around, only to see that kid who had been recently praised by his parents, looking at him with an impatient expression.
Jiang Lei's heart was suddenly filled with anger. He intentionally curled up the corners of his mouth, sneering, "Who's following you? Is the road your family's property? It's one thing to live in my house, but do you want to claim the entire provincial capital as well?"
Unwilling to engage in pointless arguments, Xu Hengzhou turned and walked away. He had a lot to do in the afternoon and didn't want to waste time here.
This reaction only further infuriated Jiang Lei. He took long strides to catch up, reaching out to grab Xu Hengzhou's shoulder. "Do you have no manners? Can't you hear when someone's talking to you?"
Xu Hengzhou slightly sidestepped, avoiding Jiang Lei's hand. He then stopped, facing Jiang Lei calmly. "Jiang Lei, Young Master Jiang, regardless of your opinions about me, I'll be leaving tomorrow. I kindly ask you, for the sake of your parents, to endure for one more night. If you really can't stand it, I'll leave once I finish my tasks this afternoon. Please, do not follow me any longer, alright?"
Jiang Lei opened his mouth but didn't reply to Xu Hengzhou. Instead, he unexpectedly asked a question that Xu Hengzhou hadn't anticipated, "You call Jiang Sen 'Second Brother.' Why don't you call me 'Fourth Brother' directly?"
Xu Hengzhou lifted an eyebrow and glanced at him. "Is there anything about you that deserves me to call you 'brother'?"
With that said, Xu Hengzhou didn't bother with him any longer and turned to walk away.
Immediately, Jiang Lei followed him. Much of the animosity in his expression had inexplicably dissipated, replaced by incessant chatter. "How did you avoid my hand just now? Do you have eyes on the back of your head? Where are you going? You..."
Unable to endure any longer, Xu Hengzhou stopped and faced Jiang Lei. "Could you please shut up?"
In truth, there were times when even Xiang Chen liked to babble around Xu Hengzhou, but one was his own adorable little brother, and the other was an annoying stranger; one had a sweet and tender voice, and the other had the voice of a croaking duck in puberty...
Therefore, Xu Hengzhou would rather listen to Xiang Chen for an entire afternoon than endure ten minutes of Jiang Lei's talk.
Jiang Lei was momentarily startled by Xu Hengzhou's sudden burst of momentum, but he quickly recovered and continued to circle around Xu Hengzhou, saying, "Fine, you don't have to answer. How about you teach me how to read people's movements from behind? Hey, if you think it's unfair, I can teach you grappling techniques! My dad taught me, and it's quite impressive. I even know..."
Xu Hengzhou took a deep breath, turned to face Jiang Lei, and silenced him with a gaze. He could tell that if he didn't handle Jiang Lei now, he wouldn't be able to accomplish his plans this afternoon.
"Why?" Jiang Lei felt a bit uneasy under Xu Hengzhou's gaze.
"Let's have a fight," Xu Hengzhou suggested.
Jiang Lei was dumbfounded. "Wh-what?"
Xu Hengzhou repeated, "Let's have a fight. If I win, you stop following me and bothering me. I generally don't like physical confrontations, but it seems talking won't work with you."
