Bab 13: Arc 1.11

Nian Zhen's voice was so soft and there was a gentle smile on his face, however, Chen Jiang could feel chills running down his spine.

There was a tense silence between the three of the before Chen Jiang shivered, "Scary, so scary, Zhen-ge, why did I not know that you were so scary before?" He stood up and stepped away from Shen Jiyu, "Fine, fine. I would not touch him."

Chen Jiang then gave them a sultry look before he walked away, " I would go in first, the both of you can take your time."

Shen Jiyu watched him go and turned to glare at Feng Mian, "You did not need to step in, I can take care of myself."

Nian Zhen chuckled, "What would you have done? Would you have broken his hand?"

Shen Jiyu did not hesitate to nod his head. That would obviously have been his next course of action.

Nian Zhen looked at him, and there was a complicated look in his eyes, "Chen Jiang is one of the best designers in the country. He has won several awards in the fashion industry and he has a lot of influence in the fashion industry. He is also from a notable family, the Chen family has a lot of pull in this city."

After saying this, he stopped. Chen Jiang was not even bad, there were a lot of people in the entertainment industry who were much much worse but nothing can be done to them. You can only find a way to survive with them.

All these are things that Lu Yan would learn. "Do you understand?" He asked Lu Yan.

Shen Jiyu shook his head, "I don't understand. What does that have to do with anything? If he tried to touch me like that, I would give him the beating of his life."

Lu Yan was just a child that knew nothing of how the world worked. Naïve and arrogant. Like a tiger cub that does not know that dangerous beasts lurk in the depths of the forest. Nian Zhen should have left the matter alone but he pressed forward, not sure why he so wanted him to understand what he was teaching him, his belief and his way of life.

His voice was a little hoarse when it sounded again, "In life, sometimes you have to suffer injustice to reap a benefit."

Shen Jiyu's eyes narrowed and he watched Nian Zhen deeply for a few seconds, "If you suffer a great injustice to get it then can you still call it a benefit? Would it matter if you gained something when you lost something equally as precious?"

He did not care whether Nian Zhen was talking about Chen Jiang or something else. He has seen it several times, Immortals desperate for a chance to attain a higher realm, committing several atrocities, cultivating dangerous manuals and taking several oaths. Even when they reach the top, they are no longer who they were when they began. Is it worth it, to gain everything only to lose yourself in the end? To Shen Jiyu, that was something only foolish people do.

Shut up! Nian Zhen could see his body and his eyes darkened.

Shut up! Shut up!

The thought flowed incessantly and his gaze turned almost poisonous when he stared at the youth before him. A ball of anger exploded within him but before he could figure out the reason why the emotions faded into a familiar helplessness.

Nian Zhen hummed and turned away. He was the one that started such a conversation with Lu Yan for no reason at all. He was the phone at fault so he would forgive this little brat's ignorance.

Shen Jiyu followed behind him as they walked into the boutique. Since Nian Zhen wanted to act like they were not talking about something now, he would definitely not be the one to continue the conversation.

Chen Jiang whistled when the both of them came in and wiggled his eyes suggestively. Both of them ignored his actions.

Chen Jiang was not bothered and he placed some magazines on the table next to him, "These are some of the styles that I am working on, what do you think?"

Shen Jiyu did not look at it for a second before he shook his head, "I don't like any of them."

His tone was so perfunctory that both of them could tell that he was causing trouble. Nian Zhen could feel black lines stretching on his face, hadn't the both of them talked about just now in the garage? Chen Jiang hadn't even done anything and his tiger cub was already attacking.

"Oh! What style do you normally wear?" Chen Jiang asked, and picked up his pencil and jotter as he stared at the handsome youth in front of him.

Shen Jiyu did not reply to him and only stared at Nian Zhen, as long as he was concerned no one was standing in front of him.

Nian Zhen rubbed his brows, a little troublesome, he would have to treat Chen Jiang to a drink later, "Just bring out the Wei Wei collection, we would be going with that style."

A girl smiled and came forward with a measurement tape, "Sir, please stand, let me take your measurements."

Before Shen Jiyu would commit another social faux pas, Nian Zhen stretched his hand, "Give me the rope." Nian moved behind him and began from his shoulders, his long fingers touched Shen Jiyu's shoulders and he placed the tape when Shen Jiyu hastily moved away.

Shen Jiyu had not thought anything of it initially till Nian Zhen touched him, Intense fluctuation spread violently from the place that he had been touched causing his heartbeat to increase severely. His mind was dazed and he sprung away from the touch.

Nian Zhen stood in the middle of the store with a measuring tape enduring the expression of both Chen Jiang and his workers; he could feel a headache coming, "What is it now?"

Shen Jiyu swallowed, a little embarrassed at his action, he tried to save his face and said sharply, "Is she not an expert?" He gestured to the girl, "You should not do such menial work, let her handle it."

Menial work? Nian Zhen suddenly felt his headache grow even stronger and he thought to himself. Definitely, it was not only this brat that fit the facial requirement he was looking for? Maybe it would be better for his mental health if he increases the payment of those private investigators to find another bait.
