What to Do if I Am Noticed by the Straight Guy Next Door?

The doorbell rang while Su Bin was washing dishes in the kitchen, and he didn’t know who went to answer the door. By the time he heard some strange noises and hurriedly walked out of the kitchen with wet hands…

“Leo!” Su Bin exclaimed in surprise. Why was Cheng Ang back? And at this moment, Cheng Ang was confronting Jin Fei with an angry expression.

Upon hearing someone call him, Cheng Ang turned his head and glanced at Su Bin with surprise, which quickly turned into anger…

“Is this all your doing?” Cheng Ang turned to Jin Fei and continued to interrogate.

Jin Fei was the kind who only responded to being talked to nicely. Seeing Cheng Ang’s attitude, he also became irritated. “Huh, who cares about scheming or not? Everyone in this circle knows that I, Jin Fei, never interfere in others’ love lives.”

Su Bin’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Jin Fei had actually done something, and now Cheng Ang was confronting him at their place?

Oh no, it seemed like Cheng Ang was considering Su Bin as an accomplice of Jin Fei! Su Bin’s face turned melancholy. He could already foresee the grades for his group project course taking a nosedive…

Cheng Ang arched an eyebrow. “Then did you send those messages to Xiaojie?”

Jin Fei looked puzzled. “What messages?”

Cheng Ang sneered, “Don’t play dumb, Jin Mau Turtle. Don’t think you’re invincible just because you come from a wealthy family. Look at you, acting like a spoiled brat. You’ve brought shame to your father even abroad!”

Jin Fei retorted, “Ang-Dàtóu, watch your mouth. What does my father’s shame have to do with you? If you have a problem with me, just beat me up if you dare!”

Gold Mau Turtle? Was that Jin Fei’s nickname? And what about Ang-Dàtóu?… Although the nicknames were a bit amusing, Su Bin felt that Cheng Ang’s head was actually not that big…

As Su Bin was enjoying the show from the side, Jin Fei and Cheng Ang suddenly started fighting when Jin Fei responded.

“Ah…” Su Bin exclaimed, “Let’s talk things out…” Before he could finish saying “Don’t fight,” Jin Fei had already retaliated. They quickly became entangled in a tussle!

This development completely exceeded Su Bin’s expectations!

Su Bin tried to intervene with some words of persuasion, but it didn’t seem to work. He was about to step forward when he was suddenly yanked back with a great force. His entire back crashed into a body…

Immediately, he heard a voice in his ear say, “Don’t go over there.”

It was Allen… Allen had come down from the commotion. He was now holding Su Bin in front of him, preventing him from getting involved.

While Su Bin was being held back by Allen and unable to move, his anxiety grew. If Jin Fei was fighting with someone, Su Bin could understand, but it was hard to imagine that Cheng Ang, who was usually so gentle and rational, would suddenly resort to physical violence. Moreover, both of them seemed skilled, attacking one another mercilessly. It wasn’t long before blood was drawn. Cheng Ang landed a punch on Jin Fei, and Jin Fei staggered, nearly tripping over the couch. He managed to regain his balance, then kicked suddenly, landing a knee strike to Cheng Ang’s abdomen. Cheng Ang bent over in pain, but he still managed to grab onto Jin Fei, and the two of them flipped over onto the coffee table…

Alongside the crashing sounds, Su Bin let out a mournful cry, “My scallions~~~~!”q口q~~

Jin Fei & Cheng Ang: “…”

After a momentary pause, the two of them continued to fight with black lines on their faces. While Su Bin was lamenting the loss of his scallions, Allen let out a sigh and instructed him, “Stay here and don’t move,” before releasing him.

In the next minute, Su Bin witnessed a scene that he would never forget in his life. This scene would directly lead to him never having the inclination to resist Allen’s use of force in the future… though he hadn’t really had that inclination before.

Allen swiftly moved between the two, using some technique that Su Bin couldn’t quite make out, to separate them. He then picked up one of them and forcefully slammed them onto the couch, just like he had done to Su Bin that day, pulling him back onto the couch to teach him a lesson. This time, it was Jin Fei.

When Su Bin saw this scene, he felt a bit excited. He suddenly wanted to have a conversation with Jin Fei about what it felt like to be overpowered by Allen’s strength… At this moment, his internal pride was yelling, “I’m not a pushover! I’m not a pushover!” Yeah, even someone as tall as Jin Fei, who was nearly six feet, turned into a softy when faced with Allen. Su Bin felt he had no reason to feel inferior!

But the other person wasn’t as lucky.

Allen held onto the person’s arm and dragged him from the living room to the entrance. He forcefully slammed him against the door, creating a loud “bang” sound. Cheng Ang’s face turned pale as he looked at Allen in astonishment, his eyes revealing a mix of confusion, helplessness, and perhaps even a hint of fear…

After releasing him, Allen allowed the person to slide down to the floor, holding his arm in silence.

This sequence of actions occurred extremely quickly, ending in just over ten seconds. Although it played out like a movie special effect, it took the people present more than a minute to fully process what had just happened. It was evident that, apart from Allen, everyone in the room was quite shocked.

Having subdued Cheng Ang as well, Allen looked down at him from a position of dominance and calmly said, “Calm down. Think about what you want to say. Speak again, or else, get out.”

Cheng Ang: “…”

Su Bin actually understood Cheng Ang’s current state of mind quite well. He had also bet a hundred bucks that there would be a bruise on Cheng Ang’s arm tomorrow, a darker shade than the one he had previously.

Su Bin refrained from speaking, as this was the first time he had seen Allen lose his temper in front of so many people… well, not really losing his temper, since Allen’s expression remained calm. After dealing with Cheng Ang, Allen walked over to the coffee table area, furrowing his brows as he straightened Su Bin’s potted scallions, picking them up and placing them back on the table.

Su Bin: “…”

Su Bin knew that Allen definitely hadn’t acted to save his scallions. After all, he had yelled out in Chinese in the heat of the moment, and Allen couldn’t possibly have understood him.

However, when Su Bin saw Allen rearrange the scallions, he experienced a subtle feeling. It seemed like a faint radiance emanated from Allen’s figure, and it was beautiful, giving a sense of warmth…

The atmosphere now was quite awkward, and no one really knew what had happened. Su Bin noticed that from Jin Fei’s tone earlier, it seemed like he didn’t fully grasp what Cheng Ang was trying to do. This wasn’t something Su Bin knew how to handle, so he decided to call Yang Chengzhe for help.

But he found it strange that, with all the commotion downstairs, why hadn’t Chengzhe heard? When he raised his head, he noticed that Chengzhe was leaning on the stairs, watching the scene unfold with a half-smile. His gaze seemed to be both amused and calculating as he looked down on the living room. He didn’t say anything.

Su Bin was taken aback for a moment, suddenly feeling like the benevolent and understanding older brother image he had of Chengzhe had been turned upside down. It seemed that Chengzhe wasn’t as kind as he appeared…

Chengzhe noticed Su Bin’s gaze, and he gave him a knowing smile before returning to his gentle appearance.

He came down to mediate the situation, first helping Cheng Ang to sit down and then making tea for everyone, despite the unwelcome visitor.

Cheng Ang’s anger seemed to subside due to Allen’s overpowering move and his intimidating words. He looked at Chengzhe, who seemed like a “head of the household,” and apologized, but he still remained biting in his words towards Jin Fei. “I’ll ask you one question today, and be honest. Do you know about Xiaojie and my relationship?”

Jin Fei retorted, “So what if I do? You got involved with someone, and now you want to blame me?”

Cheng Ang: “…”

Su Bin sighed inwardly — as expected!

He retreated to a corner and quickly called Sun Yujie, “Do you know that Cheng Ang came to our place?”

On the other end of the line, Sun Yujie was still bewildered, “Huh? Why did he come to your place?”

Su Bin: “He just had a fight with Jin Fei…”

Sun Yujie exclaimed in surprise, “Ah! Why would they fight?”

!
Su Bin: “How would I know! Right now, they’ve already… uh, they’ve stopped fighting and are talking, but it still looks tense. It sounds like it’s your business. You don’t know?”

Sun Yujie: “I really don’t know. I’ve been on good terms with Cheng Ang recently… What did they say?”

Su Bin: “Cheng Ang mentioned that you sent something to Jin Fei, and then Jin Fei said Cheng Ang was trying to shift the blame…”

Sun Yujie fell silent for a moment, then suddenly realized, “Cheng Ang must have looked at my phone…”

Su Bin mentally cursed, “What the heck!” Cheng Ang actually snooped on someone’s phone? Even for couples, going through someone’s messages is unacceptable, let alone for their vague “relationship”…

“But what did Jin Fei send you? Why is Cheng Ang so angry?” Su Bin asked anxiously, “Did you two secretly plot against Cheng Ang?”

“It’s really nothing…” Sun Yujie was nearly in tears, “Jin Fei just told me some things related to Cheng Ang. They used to be childhood friends, but I heard they were also each other’s rivals…”

Su Bin had already guessed that they might know each other. So, why did Cheng Ang come looking for Jin Fei? Could it be because he felt betrayed by Jin Fei?

While Su Bin was still on the phone with Sun Yujie, he saw Cheng Ang standing up. Cheng Ang said to Jin Fei, “I’ll take care of my own affairs. I’m just here to warn you: stay away from Sun Yujie from now on. Don’t let me catch you secretly getting close again!”

Everyone: “…”

After saying that, Cheng Ang stormed out of the room. Su Bin was quite impressed that Cheng Ang managed to slam the door with the arm Allen had grabbed earlier.

Su Bin felt like he had heard Cheng Ang’s words somewhere before, something about “getting close secretly.” Oh, he remembered now! That’s what Cheng Ang had said to Sun Yujie on the day they bumped into him at the steakhouse. Something like, “If you don’t change your ways, you’ll keep getting close to others.”

Throughout his interactions with Cheng Ang, Su Bin had felt that these kinds of words didn’t seem like something Cheng Ang would say. It wasn’t until today that he got confirmation!

…Could it be that Cheng Ang was actually jealous? And considering his behavior of snooping through Sun Yujie’s messages, it was quite plausible. After all, who would snoop if they weren’t bothered? This… must be a manifestation of some extreme possessiveness! (=_=)

Comparing Cheng Ang’s attitude toward Jin Fei, Su Bin suddenly felt that Jin Fei’s “eye-killing technique” from before had been extremely mild!

At this moment, various terrifying words like “basement,” “captivity,” and “training” inexplicably popped into Su Bin’s mind. Thinking about Cheng Ang’s furious departure, Su Bin was almost tempted to send a message to Sun Yujie: “Run away quickly…”
