Free Web NovelChapter 2111: Chapter 2312: Catching Their Breath
Young people are unpredictable and impulsive; expecting one young person to wholeheartedly obey another young person is quite impossible. Especially when it comes to making a hot-headed young person submit to someone younger, that’s just unthinkable.
Yet, Hao Jian somehow managed to demonstrate his strength, winning the admiration and respect of both Wumao and Afei. They even felt guilty about their improper behavior towards Hao Jian and specifically approached him to apologize. This alone proves Hao Jian’s status in their eyes.
Baldy was actually quite surprised upon seeing this, especially how flawlessly the meeting orchestrated by Hao Jian ended successfully. This is the real capability of the youth; it is now that he truly understands the meaning of the phrase "young and formidable." It truly is young and formidable.
The Axe Gang has already been offended, especially since their weak spot has been touched, and even their third-in-command has been beaten up. So, during this time, they have to act quickly; every moment counts, or else when their people come for revenge, they’ll be doomed.
He knows how the Axe Gang operates—without principles or limits, acting as they please. Just like their three leaders, they expand their power and influence by subduing small gangs everywhere. Small gangs, without power or strength, naturally get scared and taken over by them.
This time, however, they are going to resist.
Tonight, Black San, Qiu Lang, Wumao, Afei, Big Rotten Fortune, will go back to count heads, while Whitehead lies low and rests. When evening comes, it will be the time for a killing spree. After all, even a cornered dog can jump over the wall; now that the Axe Gang has driven them to the edge, they will naturally do something in retaliation.
Everything waits for Hao Jian’s command and leadership tomorrow. Watching Hao Jian’s departing figure, Baldy seems to be deep in thought.
After walking a little farther, Hao Jian and Lin Dongyang parted ways. Lin Dongyang had to return early, while Hao Jian continued on his way home alone. Tonight’s events were merely a minor matter to him, all going smoothly under his plan; when things are almost done, that’s when he’ll let go of everything.
With a "click," the door was unlocked with his key, then he opened the door and walked in. Perhaps due to having class the next day, Liang Xiaohan slept particularly early, as the light in her room was off, indicating she was already asleep. Seeing this, Hao Jian looked surprised.
Usually, Liang Xiaohan wouldn’t be sleeping so early; it’s only eight or nine o’clock, yet she’s already asleep. Who knows what she did during the day to be this exhausted, falling asleep? He’s a bit astonished and quietly steps toward her door, careful not to make any noise, and when reaching the door, he carefully positions his head to listen inside.
He doesn’t truly believe Liang Xiaohan would sleep so early. Even if it’s beauty sleep, nobody rests this early for it. He suspects Liang Xiaohan must be secretly doing something in her room.
With this thought, he presses his ear against the door, holding his breath, listening intently to the room’s sounds.
"Ah, ah, ah... Yamete, ah, ah, ah... Yamete!"
In an instant, these cries reached Hao Jian’s ears, immediately causing his ears to redden, his heart beat faster, and a slight blush to appear on his face. He was stunned, surprised that Liang Xiaohan was doing such things in her room.
Liang Xiaohan was hiding in her room watching Japanese adult videos. He was astonished, thinking she was secretly doing something while hiding in her room, thinking she wouldn’t possibly be sleeping so early. Until those familiar sounds reached his ears, he suddenly realized that Liang Xiaohan was secretly watching Japanese adult videos in her room.
Surprise! Real surprise! He hadn’t expected Liang Xiaohan to do such things while he wasn’t around. He’d thought she wouldn’t care about such things, but unexpectedly, she also has such desires.
Suddenly, it’s as if a new world opened up for Hao Jian, discovering a secret that left him astonished.
Listening to someone’s secrets is generally bad, but as the "Yamete, ah, ah, ah" sounds played, Hao Jian’s mind started wandering along with them, losing consciousness, sticking against the door, quietly listening; gradually, the sounds decreased in volume, but were replaced by subtle panting sounds.
Though the sound was small, too little for ordinary people to hear, especially through a closed door. Yet Hao Jian’s hearing is exceptional, hearing what others can’t. Slowly, those subtle pants reached his ears.
He could clearly differentiate; those pants were no longer from the Japanese adult video but were Liang Xiaohan’s own breaths.
Hearing this, he started feeling flustered, only listening for a few seconds before feeling his inner fire stirring, becoming uncontrollable, as if the flame was emanating from inside, ready to burn him away.
The clear sounds traveled into his ears, infiltrated every cell, penetrated his bone marrow; he knew if he continued listening, he would lose himself, being overtaken by the sounds.
Suddenly, despite wanting to keep listening to the panting sounds, he was actually scared, afraid to continue listening for fear of losing control, entering a trance. He hadn’t engaged in such activities for some time, since moving here, repressing the inner fire for too long, knowing the consequences of a sudden release.
Upon realizing this, Hao Jian quickly moved away from Liang Xiaohan’s door, hurried to the water dispenser, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it in one go. Yet, still thirsty, drinking several glasses more, feeling hot, touching his forehead and finding it sweaty.
He instinctively wanted to shower to calm down, but at the bathroom door, he halted. Realizing showering would produce water sounds, and even though Liang Xiaohan’s door was closed, she would surely hear, thus realizing he is back...
Instantly, he stopped, didn’t move ahead, instead rushed toward the water cup, gulping several cups to calm down before putting the cup down.
Then, before desire reignited, he immediately dashed to his room, closed the door tight, lay on the bed, wrapped in a blanket, thinking of other things, shifting focus, avoiding wrongful thoughts.
"Hao Jian, Hao Jian, you’re a human, not an animal; you absolutely cannot perform inhumane acts."
He kept reminding himself in his mind, enduring several hours this way, past midnight, until two or three in the morning, as he was about to break free and sleep, his phone on the pillow suddenly chimed.
He picked it up, finding a message from Zhang Danlin, asking if he was there, hadn’t slept yet. This late, she sent a message; usually he wouldn’t reply, yet now he instinctively typed back he hasn’t slept, what’s up?
Almost replied instantly, Zhang Danlin said, "Ah, why aren’t you asleep yet?"
Hao Jian replied, "Oh, went through something so couldn’t sleep."
Zhang Danlin immediately thought of the day’s events, saying: "Ah! Sorry, during the day I really just casually asked; don’t mind it, or else I’ll feel terrible."
Hao Jian was actually referring to Liang Xiaohan’s matter, but Zhang Danlin thought it was about the topic of his cousin discussed over lunch. Frowning, he said, "No, it’s not because of that."
Zhang Danlin replied: "Then what matter?"
Hao Jian frowned, this matter only Heaven, Earth, and he knows, even Liang Xiaohan couldn’t find out; if she did, she might kill him, silencing him.
Preparing to reply that he couldn’t say, Zhang Danlin preemptively messaged, saying: "Ah, just asking in passing; if it’s unspeakable, that’s fine."
He deleted the earlier drafted words, typing anew to respond: "Alright, won’t elaborate."
"Okay," replied Zhang Danlin.
"Tonight is neither thundering nor storming, yet for some reason, alone at home, it’s become scary." Zhang Danlin said.
Reading this, Hao Jian glanced outside. A girl alone at home, feeling frightened, was quite normal.
"Don’t worry, I’m here," Hao Jian replied.
