Daily synopsis: My superpowers are updated every season.

Chapter 1216 He Chen knows how to comfort!
"You little bastard, this isn't over! We're not done yet!" Having been brutally beaten and left with a bruised and swollen face, Lu Tao, feeling he had suffered a great loss, naturally refused to back down.

He could let it go after he was beaten, but now that his beloved Xia Lin had been beaten, he absolutely wouldn't stand for it and would definitely help her get revenge.

"Lu Tao, stop talking!" Xia Lin felt uncomfortable all over and was also very aggrieved, but at this moment she really didn't dare to provoke Guan Peng anymore, and only wanted to end this matter.

"Guan Peng, we're sorry. You've already hit me, so let's just leave it at that. We have nothing to do with each other anymore. You can leave now!"

I said that, but I was really frustrated inside.

Because she never expected things to unfold this way.

Although she hadn't seen the original plot, she subconsciously felt that this would be the outcome: so be it, so be it, Guan Peng would swallow his pride and she and Lu Tao would go from adulterers to a happy couple. And so the matter was decided happily.

In this subconscious mindset, Guan Peng, the boyfriend with high emotional intelligence and the honest man with low emotional intelligence, has no say whatsoever.

Who would have thought that Guan Peng not only found out, but also tracked them here, and then, provoked by what he saw with his own eyes, took action.

This was something she never expected!

A famous Western saying goes: When someone threatens you with weapons of mass destruction, you better actually have them!
The same applies now. When honest people are always accused of being dangerous if they explode, then it's best if the honest person really is dangerous when they explode, so that others will take you seriously.

When the vast majority of honest people act this way, instead of silently enduring the imposed humiliation, the term "honest person" will be distorted from a compliment to a derogatory term, and will eventually return to its original meaning.

At least now Charlene regrets it.

I should have broken up with Guan Peng earlier.

This is not something that cannot be done.

Ok!

Even though Lu Tao's arrival was so sudden, and he came to stay overnight without any time to break up, just like he didn't have time to buy protection, this wasn't the first or the first time.

Even Mi Lai found out, and she went to He Chen and the girl with glasses to complain, which was many days later.

She has plenty of opportunities to end this affair herself.

But she didn't.

Why?

It's very simple. She told Lu Tao herself that this would be even more exciting!

Stealing your best friend's boyfriend while pretending to be someone else's girlfriend—double the thrill!

At this stage, Lu Tao doesn't even have a car, while Guan Peng not only has a car, but also provides transportation and can be of great help until he "helps" her "lift up" to go abroad. Only then can he complete his mission and shed the identity of her boyfriend.

Even if Lu Tao didn't childishly force her to give him a title, she could continue to drag Guan Peng along, enjoy Guan Peng's 'lifting', and then continue to seek thrills with Lu Tao.

That would be perfect.

But now, after being severely beaten, and even fearing a repeat of the scene in Water Margin where Wu Song angrily kills the adulterous couple, she truly regrets it.

Her 'considerate' attitude only fueled Lu Tao's desire to continue fighting with Guan Peng.

Firstly, Lu Tao wanted to avenge her!

Secondly, he had lost face in front of her so badly that he definitely had to get it back, otherwise how could he regain his virility and continue to brag?
But Charlene ignored the pain and held him tightly, whispering, "Stop messing around. Who do you think told him this? Let's just consider this be the end of it."

“…Mi Lai isn’t that kind of person!” Upon hearing this, Lu Tao immediately assumed that Mi Lai had told Guan Peng, and his struggling and shouting subsided. The Mi Lai of the past certainly wouldn’t have done such a thing, but after being bullied and humiliated like this, who knows what she might do under such intense stimulation.

With Xia Lin's gaze, which strongly suggested that Mi Lai was capable of such a thing, and even more extreme actions, and urged her to end the farce with a beating, Lu Tao lost his confidence.

Judging others by his own standards, if he were Mi Lai, or even Guan Peng, he could truly become Wu Song.

Guan Peng left, leaving Lu Tao and Xia Lin slumped on the grass.

They had sat on the grass by the river before, but back then they were being intimate, often engaging in flirtatious and suggestive acts with the sky as their blanket and the earth as their mat.

But now, one of them had a bruised and swollen face, and the other had been slapped in the face and hit several times on the body. They were no longer in the mood for such leisure. They could only take a break and then quickly and furtively returned to Lu Tao's rented room to heal their wounds behind closed doors.

Meanwhile, Guan Peng, having finished beating up the adulterous couple, still felt quite frustrated. After thinking for a while, he called He Chen and invited him for drinks, intending to have a good talk with him.

This is something you can't talk about with others, not even his other close friends, since it's not something that makes him look good.

But with He Chen is possible.

Because that's what He Chen told him. Whether it was out of gratitude for He Chen keeping him in the dark and preventing him from continuing to be a cuckold, or out of a sense of resignation, He Chen knew, and it was perfect to have someone to confide in. He Chen was more suitable than anyone else.

He Chen did not refuse because he did not drink.

Mi Lai was unwilling to tell Guan Peng about this, but he deliberately told him, just to get Guan Peng to take action.

Now that Guan Peng seems to have really taken action, he naturally wants to know how things are going.

Once they arrived at their destination, Guan Peng poured himself a lot of alcohol before telling He Chen what had happened.

"Well done!" He Chen praised with a smile, and unusually picked up a bottle of beer, opened it, and clinked glasses with Guan Peng: "For this, we should drink a big toast!"

He hoped Guan Peng would do it, but he only had a 10% chance that Guan Peng was actually capable of doing it.

After all, Guan Peng doesn't seem like the impulsive type. And society, from the law to the morality, from top to bottom, has been too strict with honest people like Guan Peng who are bullied and humiliated, making most honest people only able to accept being bullied and humiliated, and dare not and cannot do anything.

Although He Chen strictly abides by the law and often demands that others do the same, he still feels that the law has its limitations and lags behind when it comes to this kind of situation.

Of course, if Lu Tao and Xia Lin really call the police about this, then Guan Peng will only be in jail for a few days; consider it a chance for him to calm down.

He believed that Guan Peng wouldn't see anything wrong with this.

Everything should be based on the law, and nobody can disagree!

But now it's obvious that Xia Lin and Lu Tao are too ashamed to call the police, and they don't want to make a big fuss and spread their Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing-like behavior widely. If that's confirmed, then don't blame He Chen for cheering for Guan Peng, breaking his habit of not drinking, and toasting this honest man who has suddenly become so agitated.

happy!

If the people don't report it, the officials won't investigate. Everyone thinks there's no problem, and He Chen doesn't think there's any problem either, so there's no problem!
Emotional disputes are like this!

"Cheers!" Guan Peng and He Chen clinked glasses and drank heartily.

He clearly wants to get drunk tonight.

"Try to think positively!" He Chen drank a few cups with him to help him calm down, then smiled and comforted him: "The sooner you see what kind of person Xia Lin is, the less likely you are to marry her. If that happens, you might really become a fool."

Guan Peng: "..."
