Chapter 718
Leng Chenmo’s face instantly softened, a hint of heartache flickered in his eyes as he reached out to stop Tang Zhou’s movements, his voice light and low, “Zhou, I’ve known for quite some time.”
Tang Zhou’s back shuddered violently. Immediately, he was held tightly in Leng Chenmo’s embrace, “I knew about your situation a long time ago. You don’t have to try to scare me off just because you’re afraid of being rejected.”
Tang Zhou became stiff, looked up, filled with apprehension, his voice even fiercer, “You knew all along? How did you know? You! Did you lie to me? You said you’d keep Leng Weixuan quiet. Was it Leng Weixuan who told you? Get off me, don’t touch me!”
In this state, he was like a helpless little animal, only able to protect himself by venting his anger.
But Leng Chenmo didn’t let him break free, his arms pressing against Tang Zhou’s back, his palm stroking his stiff back to soothe his rage, “Calm down, sweetheart.”
How was he supposed to calm down?
How could Tang Zhou just calm down?
Who else did Leng Weixuan tell? How many people knew? How many were snickering behind his back?
“It wasn’t Leng Weixuan who told me. I found out earlier. If you want to end things just because of this, I won’t agree. You might as well get used to the idea,” Leng Chenmo said, not giving Tang Zhou a chance to retort.
Leng Chenmo kept talking, predicting that any words coming out of Tang Zhou’s mouth at this moment wouldn’t please him, “So what if you’re different from others? It’s no big deal. I actually find it quite special. Different strokes for different folks. I just like your kind of special.”
Tang Zhou finally had the chance to speak up, “Are you sick? Do you like my type? Are you sure you know what kind of person I am? You can’t jump to conclusions without seeing it for yourself. Otherwise, you might accuse me, Tang Zhou, of cheating and dragging you into a mess! I’m not that kind of shameless person who’d do such things!”
Leng Chenmo lowered his head, staring into Tang Zhou’s distrustful eyes, chuckled bitterly, “Then you can just think of me as being sick. And that I have a peculiar liking for your kind. Do you have any other concerns?”
Tang Zhou was a bit taken aback. This was completely different from what he had imagined. All he could do was repeatedly deny it, to mask his confusion, “You must be playing with me. Who in their right mind would like my type? Are you after my money?”
Leng Chenmo said, “…”
Leng Chenmo pinched his brows, “You can consider me abnormal, then. Do you have any more concerns now?”
“Of course, I do! Who the hell told you? How did you find out? Who leaked it? I’ll kill them!” Tang Zhou cried out, on tenterhooks.
Leng Chenmo studied Tang Zhou, who was on edge, and mused to himself, how do I tell her it was she herself who told me?
Leng Chenmo didn’t want to recall that scene. The girl who stood before him, resignation in her eyes, baring her humiliation, looking helpless but still longing for affection…
Leng Chenmo didn’t want to see that ever again.
Leng Chenmo lied to him instead, “Nobody told me. Do you remember a few years ago, when I was in the hot springs, and you sneaked in, trying to throw a toy snake into the pool to scare me, but slipped on the moss and fell in, even fainted?”
Tang Zhou widened his eyes. Did that happen? He seemed to recall something similar, but he definitely would not admit it!
“After you fainted, I was the one who changed your clothes, that’s when I saw it.”
Tang Zhou jumped up, “I remember my brother was notified, he hurried over, picked me up, and he was the one who changed my clothes, not you!”
