Chu Zhong chuckled and retorted, "Aren't you afraid of catching a cold from being so close?"

Sonoko remained on tiptoe, saying, "I drank some cold medicine as a precaution..."

Upon hearing this, Chu Zhong knew that she had 'premeditated', so he leaned down even lower to taste the cherry lips that were offered to him.

The tacit understanding they had rehearsed in the dungeon came into play once again. The passionate kiss was intoxicating, and Chu Zhong felt the beauty in his arms growing softer and softer.

He simply lay down on the bed with Sonoko and kissed her passionately, letting their body heat transfer and rise through the contact.

After a while, Chu Zhongsong opened the garden.

"Chu Jun~" Yuanzi's face was already flushed, her eyes were full of affection, and her voice was soft.

"Yuanzi, I'm a little hungry," Chu Zhong said, knowing that things would definitely get out of hand if this continued. "Do you have any snacks or anything you could give me?"

"Snacks?" The sudden change of topic startled Sonoko. "There seem to be some in my duffel bag..."

With that, Sonoko prepared to get up.

Chu Zhong pressed her down with his hand, saying, "I'll find it."

After saying that, he unzipped the duffel bag and immediately saw the clothes inside, including Sonoko's underwear.

"Chu-kun~" Sonoko's face, which was about to cool down, heated up again, but she did not stop it. She just became even more shy, with a hint of anticipation in her shyness.

Chu Zhong then rummaged through the clothes in his luggage bag and quickly found the snack he wanted to eat—soft, fragrant, and light cotton candy!

The marshmallows didn't look like much on the surface, but once the packaging was opened, they were a whole size bigger, and Chu Zhong couldn't hold them in one hand.

Take a small sip, and you'll find it smooth and delicate, with a subtle sweetness and milky aroma.

The light texture is captivating; you just want to keep eating it, holding onto that fleeting sweetness and milky aroma.

"So..." Sonoko bit her lower lip and snorted, "You guys ate snacks on the way up the mountain?"

I smelled a strange competitive spirit.

Chu Zhong smiled and said, "Since you were worried that Xiao Lan and I would sneak snacks, why didn't you wait for us at the foot of the mountain?"

"Or...sonoko, are you just looking for an excuse to interrogate...punish me?"

"How cunning..."

The more Chu Zhong spoke, the redder Yuanzi's cheeks became, as if her secret thoughts had been seen through.

As he spoke, Chu Zhong's hands were not idle either. He kneaded and shaped the remaining cotton candy, shaping the delicate sugar strands into various forms.

"Eat quickly, don't play with the food..."

Sonoko seemed a little angry, gritting her teeth as she urged, "Hurry up..."

Chu Zhong then spent a few more minutes carefully savoring the remaining cotton candy.

Sonoko seemed to have a feeding habit; seeing him eat so enthusiastically, her smile grew brighter and brighter.

After finishing the cotton candy, Chu Zhong tidied up the clothes in his luggage bag and zipped it up.

"Is this all you're going to eat?" Yuanzi seemed a little unsatisfied, looking at Chu Zhong with longing eyes.

Chu Zhong gently stroked Yuanzi's cheek: "If you keep eating, it'll be time for the main course... I have quite an appetite, Yuanzi, are you sure?"

Martial arts enthusiast Xiaolan and Ayako are preparing lunch in the kitchen. It's almost lunchtime, and snacks are too tempting.

"..." Sonoko blushed and shook her head, but then added, "How about we have something to drink..."

"What would you like to drink?" Chu Zhong's smile deepened.

"..." Sonoko stammered for a long time before finally managing to say, "If you don't mind... you can have some... hot water..."

Chapter 91 Drink More Hot Water, One Move to Knock Out

"Are you sure you want to offer me hot water? Doesn't that seem weird?"

Chu Zhong gently stroked Yuanzi's cheek and found that her face was so hot it could almost boil water. She was clearly very shy, but her eyes were full of anticipation and curiosity, which was so cute that he couldn't help but want to tease her.

The Japanese have a strong tradition of tea ceremony, but they don't have the habit of drinking hot water.

In contrast, people in Chu's hometown prefer to drink hot water.

"I...I read in some magazines that..." Sonoko's voice trailed off, "...some people like to drink hot water...Chu-kun..."

Chu Zhong whispered in her ear, "Coincidentally, I am the kind of person who likes to drink hot water, and I will keep drinking it until I am thirsty."

As he spoke, Chu Zhong had already placed his hand next to the water glass, and even before touching it, he could faintly feel the heat emanating from it.

"But Sonoko, your body temperature is a bit alarming right now."

Chu Zhong pinched Yuanzi's cheek. "If you drink any more hot water, you might faint from the heat. Let's do it next time."

Sonoko belatedly realized that her face was indeed burning hot, and the skin on her arms was slightly pink from the heat.

Her body temperature is already so high before she's even drunk anything. What will happen if she drinks large gulps of hot water later...?

Just thinking about that scene makes Sonoko's heart tremble.

"Then next time... let's invite Lord Chu to drink again..."

Finally, Sonoko added in a voice barely louder than a mosquito's buzz.

Chu Zhong nodded. In order to allow Yuanzi to return to normal body temperature as soon as possible, he did not disturb her any longer, left the room, and closed the door behind him.

After he went downstairs

Inside the room, Sonoko's body temperature slowly decreased, but her eyebrows gradually furrowed:

"Strange, how can Chu Jun be so calm... Doesn't he feel uncomfortable at all?"

"Could it be that he's deliberately trying to please me..."

Upon thinking of this, Sonoko quickly shook her head, "Impossible, Chu-kun absolutely, positively likes me...it must be because he's worried about me..."

"No! Chu Jun stayed at Xiao Lan's house for two days. Maybe Xiao Lan took advantage of him and..."

When Sonoko was filled with anxiety and making wild guesses...

Chu Zhong, who had come downstairs, had regained his composure.

He's someone who's seen it all, and he was just teasing the kids earlier, so of course he wouldn't go too far.

Not to mention that I haven't fully recovered from my cold yet, not having enough time is also a big problem, not to mention that I'm still in a dungeon.

"what--!!!"

Chu Zhong had just stepped into the living room and checked the landline phone when he heard a scream coming from the direction of the kitchen.

A murder occurred?

Chu Zhong walked towards the kitchen.

Meanwhile, on the opposite bank of the rope bridge not far from the villa, stood a black figure.

The man was agile and instead of walking on the wooden planks of the bridge, he used his hands and feet to climb the thick hemp rope on the right side of the rope and began to climb horizontally.

No matter how much the rope bridge swayed from side to side in the wind, it couldn't shake the person off.

The shadowy figure covered the distance of a dozen meters in less than half a minute, crouching low and moving silently as it quickly disappeared into the woods surrounding the villa.

'They've caught up with us?'

'Did you perhaps research the destination beforehand?'

As soon as Chu Zhong left the living room, he sensed the aura of the crow he had shaken off earlier approaching again, hiding in the woods next to the villa.

Are they here to investigate, or to assassinate?

Chu Zhong remained calm and observed the situation, avoiding alerting the enemy; as long as it wasn't a long-range sniper attack, it was fine.

On his way to the kitchen, Chu Zhong encountered Kakuya and Ayako, who were also heading to the kitchen.

When they arrived at the kitchen, they found only the martial arts fanatic Ran and Ota Masaru inside.

At that moment, Ota Katsumi lay on the ground, his face filled with panic. He tried to get up, but one of his arms was limp and hanging down, and he could only exert force with one hand.

"My hand! My hand!!"

Ota Masaru couldn't maintain his balance with one hand; he barely managed to prop himself up before tilting and falling over in terror.

Seeing everyone arrive, Ota Masaru immediately flew into a rage, yelling at the martial arts fanatic, Xiaolan, "What the hell! You crippled my hand!! I'm going to sue you for intentional assault!!!"

As he spoke, Ota Katsu knelt down, and with the support of his knees and the help of one hand, he awkwardly stood up.

Looking at Xiao Lan, who was obsessed with martial arts, she remained calm and even took two steps closer to Ota Masaru.

Ota Katsu, who had been so aggressive and shouting, shrank behind Kakutani as if fleeing. "Kakutani, she's going to suddenly attack someone for no reason again. Take good pictures of it!"

Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan seemed unable to understand Ota Masaru's words. Her simple and somewhat bewildered gaze quickly turned to Chu Zhong.

"I forgot to mention earlier," Chu Zhong said, having guessed the whole story with his bare hands, and coughed lightly, "Xiao Lan's mother is Eri Kisaki, the undefeated legend in the legal world."

Upon hearing this, Ota Masaru's expression froze, then he angrily retorted, "What do you mean? Are you threatening me?! My arm..."

"It's just a dislocation," Chu Zhong glanced at it. "No need to make a fuss."

Physical injury and disability can indeed cause panic.

But what Chu Zhong cared about more was the reason.

"Ran, why is Mr. Ota lying on the ground all of a sudden?"

Chu Zhong held the hand of the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan and asked softly.

He knew that although Xiao Lan was obsessed with martial arts, she hadn't reached the point of 'suddenly attacking people for no reason'.

"He crept closer, trying to grab my waist with his hands," Xiao Lan, a martial arts fanatic, said in a simple yet confident voice. "He clearly wanted to ambush me, but I didn't expect him to be so weak. He was knocked down in one move."

Upon hearing this, Ayako and Kakutani both looked at Ota Masaru with disdain.

Clearly, they all felt that this 'sneak attack' meant taking advantage of the situation.

Only Chu Zhong knew that the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan truly regarded this behavior as an 'attack'.

"Nonsense!" Ota Katsu immediately retorted loudly, "I just wanted to see how the food was done, who knew she would suddenly attack and hurt me!"

"I didn't even touch her!"

He adopted the posture of an innocent victim.

"Ha ha……"

Chu Zhong sneered.

This Ota Masaru, with his somewhat handsome looks, is a bit spoiled—by the laws of Japan.

Japan has an open-minded culture, and its laws are ridiculously lenient in their tolerance of such harassment incidents.

Even if a criminal harms a woman, the severity of the legal punishment is outrageously low unless the woman is maimed or severely injured.

In Japan, the education of women is also mainly based on 'forbearance' and 'obedience'.

Taking advantage of someone by touching them is cost-free; at most, you'll be looked down upon. As long as you're shameless, you can take advantage of them to your heart's content.

Anyway, Japan values ​​'personal privacy' the most, so there are basically no surveillance cameras or anything like that.

However, there are also women who deliberately frame men for taking advantage of them, using this to blackmail them for money, threatening to cause a scene at the other party's company if they don't comply, ruining their reputation and causing them to lose their jobs.

The victims chosen by these infatuated men and women are all normal, honest men and women.

When an honest person is driven to desperation, and the law offers no help, they can only rely on their one and only life to make the other party pay the price.

Chu Zhong really likes the sickly social atmosphere of Japan!

It's in places like this that money and power can play their greatest role! There's no need to worry about morality!

However, his previous education prevented Chu Zhong from resorting to violence to solve problems.

He also knows best what people like Masaru Ota are most afraid of.

“Mr. Ota, don’t blame me for not warning you.”
