The Taming of the Ruffian Hero - Chapter 225

Chapter 225 (Wait for Me!) Chen Yuanxi and Zhang Dong Make An Appointment

The men’s prison in the small town.

“How many years will you stay in the prison?” Chen Yuanxi tried to smile at Zhang Dong.

“It’s not clear yet. I think it will be eight years. That’s enough. When I go out, I’m only 40 and only one tenth of my life will have passed. Besides, I’m sure my sentence will be commuted.” Zhang Dong smiled easily.

Chen Yuanxi was amused. He scolded while wiping tears, “You fool, how long do you want to live!”

“I’ll stay with you for 360 years before I dare to die,” said Zhang Dong.

“It wasn’t you who took photos of me for Mo Qian, did you?” Chen Yuanxi said with a smile.

“If you really don’t doubt it, you won’t ask me.” Zhang Dong kept silent for three seconds and said with a smile, “After more than two years with you, I have been more or less smarter.”

Hearing that, Chen Yuanxi kept silent.

“I knew it later. In order to create a realistic effect, they smeared chili water on your body. But I guess you must felt disgusted and directly went to the bathroom as soon as you woke up… ha ha.” Zhang Dong suddenly burst out laughing.

Chen Yuanxi’s face turned livid with anger. “Why didn’t you tell me early?”

“I just wanted to see when you would stop doubting me. What a pity… I’m not lucky enough. If I had known it early, I would have slept with you every day when we lived together in Beijing!” Zhang Dong smiled again.

“You are such a fool! Such a thing, how could you…” Chen Yuanxi felt extremely angry.

“If… if I had known it, I would have treated you a little bit better. I wouldn’t have often asked you to carry plates and served us water and tea. I also wouldn’t have asked you to clean the toilet and the yard. You shouldn’t have been laughed at by others…” Chen Yuanxi said in a trembling voice.

“If so, Chen Tianjiao and Mo Qian would suspect you. Forget it. I’m content.” Zhang Dong smiled.

“Zhang Dong, you’re so foolish!” Chen Yuanxi scolded.

“Get him back, in the way you have succeeded,” said Zhang Dong. Seeing that Chen Yuanxi was silent, Zhang Dong added, “A person may love many in his life, but there is only one he or she will be always with. I hope your love is complete. Love comes but once in a life time, and leave no regret.” Zhang Dong’s smile was as warm as the rare sunny day of this season.

“Probably, those who use that method are always hopeful.” Chen Yuanxi smiled.

“I love you.” Zhang Dong made a shape of heart, looking like a lively child.

Chen Yuanxi said, “Is it difficult for you to speak out the three words? Why did you tell me behind the bullet-proof glass? Am I frightening in your eyes?”

“I have said these three words to one person only once in my life. But I’ve come round to the idea that I don’t like to be a backup. When I’m out, I’m going to enjoy countless beauties to make up for the loneliness of these years,” said Zhang Dong complacently.

“Don’t you have faith in yourself?” Chen Yuanxi asked again.

“I…” Zhang Dong suddenly faltered and said incoherently, “When I go out, I want to see you live well.”

“Yeah? So you just left like this?” Chen Yuanxi said quietly.

“The earlier I came in, the earlier I will leave here. It’s just a matter of time. Wenxi… I…”

Through the glass, Chen Yuanxi saw Zhang Dong blushed.

Chen Yuanxi gently kissed the glass board.

Zhang Dong’s smile suddenly disappeared. Seeing that, he also kissed the same place on the other side of the glass board. Because he was too impatient, he directly knocked the bulletproof glass and a trace of blood flew out of his nose.

“I really want to be with you,” said Chen Yuanxi.

“Be the backup! Clean up your act to commute your sentence! After you come out, I’ll take you to the mountains and rivers to see the new world outside! I asked the jailer to deliver you a present!” cried Chen Yuanxi.

“Is it true? I’m so glad that Zhao Yuan got married and left you to me…” “Your words are enough for me to comfort myself in the future!” Zhang Dong laughed.

“You are such a rascal!” Chen Yuanxi was speechless.

“You have to remember that I’m Zhang Dong, arrogant Zhang Dong!” When time was up, Zhang Dong laughed and left without looking back.

But his tears suddenly fell.

Soon, he received the gift from the jailer. It was two gold rings.

Chen Yuanxi stayed in the small town. He was waiting for Hong Xuan to contact him. When everything was done, he planned to travel far away. The world was so big that he really wanted to see it. He was also eager to see Yun Che and Zhu Ziping.

After repeated contact, Hong Xuan finally decided to surrender. He had cleaned up the people of the Mo Family in a legal way. He did not want to kill anyone.

The liaison man was his subordinate then. But the man sent him a video.

The video showed Chen Yuanxi and Zhang Dong were kissing through the glass board.

…

Chen Yuanxi was quite surprised that he could not get any news of Hong Xuan from anyone. And the officer of the prison in the small town told him that Zhang Dong was a special prisoner and could not be visited again.

The longer time went by, the more uneasy Chen Yuanxi became.

Chen Yuanxi made an appointment with Hong Yan and took Gu Xi to visit her. Since Chen Yuanxi lived nearby, except for working and cooking for Zheng Kai, Gu Xi had been staying with him all the time.

Chen Yuanxi opened the familiar rusty courtyard door lightly. The courtyard was messy and had not been taken care of for a long time. However, there were several pairs of shoes on the front door, proving that the owner still lived here.

A few sighs came behind the door, and then an old face stretched out, which greatly surprised Chen Yuanxi.

The old woman, wearing her presbyopic glasses, did not seem to know him.

“Auntie, I’ve come to visit you.” Chen Yuanxi said with a smile as he went in with valuable gifts.

The old woman looked up at Chen Yuanxi doubtfully and scrutinized him carefully, as if she was recalling something.

“Auntie, I’m Chen Yuanxi.” Chen Yuanxi said patiently.

“Ah… Chen?” The old woman shook her head and suddenly drove him angrily while murmuring, “Get out! Get out!”

“Mom, it’s Brother Wenxi.” Hong Yan, dressed in plain clothes and with no decoration, came to stop her mother. She smiled at Chen Yuanxi lightly, but there was indescribable sadness on her face. “My cell phone was out of power just now, so I couldn’t come out to pick you up in time.”

“Wenxi? Is he Wenxi?” Suddenly, the woman shed tears, which flew like the Yellow River breaking the dike. She stretched out her dry hands and held Chen Yuanxi tightly. After a long time, she buried her face in Chen Yuanxi’s hands and sobbed, saying, “You uncle Hong Xuan is sorry to your family. Your family are righteous, but your uncle Hong Xuan is a murderer who has killed more than ten people!”

“Mom! I don’t believe dad is such a person!” Hong Yan walked forward, helped her, and smiled shyly at Chen Yuanxi.

Chen Yuanxi suddenly felt ominous.

“No matter whether you are or not, you’re no longer in this world! In all the documents later, you are a murderer! I’ve been waiting for you for nine years. What I received is your ashes, and the news of your suicide! If you felt disgraceful, you could turn yourself in, and let us know how you die!” The old woman suddenly jumped into the door and knelt on a mat, beating her chest and stamping her feet in deep sorrow and sobbing.

As the door was opened slowly by the woman, a mourning hall slowly appeared in front of Chen Yuanxi. The person in the photo was Hong Xuan.
