Meng Fanxing was speechless. Song Lang was right. He could only stand by and watch anxiously.
But after watching it for half a month, he couldn't stand it anymore.
Song Lang was constantly being bossed around by Gu Fengkai like a grandson, and he found it unbearable to watch.
He had no choice but to go to Shen Zhifei and tell her everything that had happened to Song Lang at school recently.
"What do you mean by this? It's like stabbing flesh with a dull knife. It's so painful to watch. I'd rather just cut it off cleanly."
Meng Fanxing spoke with great emotion, saying that Song Lang, with his fiery temper, had never been so timid in his entire life.
You've been smart since you were little.
Tell me, how should this be resolved? If murder weren't illegal, I'd be tempted to pull out a knife myself.
Shen Zhifei remained silent for a long time before saying, "At school, please take good care of Song Lang these next two days."
"So what are your plans?" Meng Fanxing asked.
Shen Zhifei shook his head without answering, "Don't tell him I know about this."
"Don't worry, I'm keeping it from him. If Da Lang knew I told him, he'd kill me," Meng Fanxing said.
On Monday evening, Shen Zhifei took leave and went directly to the alley where he had previously ambushed Gu Fengkai to wait for him.
Gu Fengkai recognized him at first glance.
He had to admit that Song Lang's younger brother was really good-looking and had an outstanding physique. Even though he wasn't gay, he couldn't take his eyes off him.
No wonder Song Lang was so infatuated that he committed such a shameless act as incest.
"There's no point in dragging this out. Let's find a time to resolve it," Shen Zhifei said bluntly, making his intentions clear.
Gu Fengkai was still traumatized by his previous experience and was very wary. He looked into the alley and asked, "Just you?"
“Hmm,” Shen Zhifei’s eyes were cold, “It’s best not to alarm anyone and to settle things as soon as possible.”
Gu Fengkai scoffed, "Little brother, you're thinking too simply. Song Lang has been targeting me for so long, and you even helped him get revenge on me. You think you can just resolve this like that? Wouldn't I be at a huge disadvantage?"
“Since it’s a personal grudge, let’s settle it privately in a personal way,” Shen Zhifei emphasized. “The way you usually do it.”
"Heh, you'd accept being pinned to the ground and beaten to your heart's content? You'd even be willing to accept Song Lang's dog-like temper?"
"You decide the time and place."
Gu Fengkai pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled knowingly: "I have one more condition. If you agree, I'll let you two go after this debt is settled."
Shen Zhifei looked at him indifferently, his fair and handsome face bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, making one want to dirty him.
Gu Fengkai took a step closer, grabbed his neatly trimmed collar, and asked in a low, negotiating tone, "How about you let me do it twice?"
Shen Zhifei tilted his head and looked down at him, and Gu Fengkai smelled the faint scent of lime on him.
He became even more eager to make a move.
"Let's finish the fight first and resolve this as quickly as possible," Shen Zhifei said, turning and leaving.
"Okay, wait for my message!"
When Gu Fengkai got home, he realized he didn't have Shen Zhifei's contact information. Since he couldn't possibly wait for her at No. 5 Middle School, he went to find Song Lang.
"Come with your brother at 3 PM on Saturday afternoon in the narrow alley at the east entrance of Lanting Street."
"What kind of trick are you up to now? If you have a problem, come at me. This has nothing to do with him." Song Lang had just had his cast removed today, and his right foot, which had been bound for several months, was feeling incredibly stifled. He really wanted to give Gu Fengkai a flying kick to "bless" his face.
“Let’s settle this once and for all.” Gu Fengkai pointed to his chest and emphasized, “Only the two of you are allowed to come. I’ll wait for you.”
Song Lang snorted coldly, having no intention of telling Shen Zhifei about this.
He didn't want that filthy thing surnamed Gu to taint Shen Zhifei's life.
But he couldn't keep things to himself. When he made up a lame excuse to leave home alone on Saturday, Shen Zhifei had already guessed what was going on.
Shen Zhifei followed him out the door silently. Only after he saw him turn the corner and wander into an alley did he leave temporarily and go to a small shop two streets away without surveillance cameras to buy a fruit knife.
Gu Fengkai chose an alleyway that few people passed by, and the cameras at both ends were facing outwards, making this alleyway an ideal gray area for gang fights.
He's a regular here; this is his home turf.
Therefore, when Gu Fengkai walked into this alley, he was like a lion on patrol, majestic and arrogant.
"Why are you alone? Where's your handsome little brother?" As soon as Gu Fengkai said this, the dozen or so thugs who came with him all laughed lewdly.
"I told you, come at me if you have a problem."
It has nothing to do with him.
Seeing the imposing presence of this group, Song Lang knew he was in for a beating. He thought to himself that he had to protect his face when they started fighting so that Shen Zhifei wouldn't notice.
For a fleeting moment, a sense of regret crossed his mind; he wouldn't be able to be completely honest with Shen Zhifei for at least another month. He should have had a passionate encounter with her last night.
"How can you say that? I still have a very close agreement with him to fulfill. But since we're already here, we can't let our buddies come all this way for nothing."
Gu Fengkai didn't waste any more words with him. He had long wanted to beat Song Lang up, and he figured he might as well do it today.
He gestured to his henchmen, and they all pulled out sticks from their waistbands and surrounded Song Lang.
Song Lang's foot injury had just healed, but his bones had become limp and weak over the past two weeks, causing his fighting ability to decline sharply. Before long, he was pinned to the ground and beaten up by three or five people.
