Chapter 40: An Angry Ran Jing. (1/2)

After Xu Cheng washed his face and walked to the living room, he saw Ran Jing coming back from work. On her way back, she had been wondering what kind of sacred being this Xu Cheng guy was.

The more she came into contact with him, the more difficult she felt it was to see through the guy.

Professional gun-assembling skills, accurate marksmanship, coupled with the fight at the gym and those insanely-quick steps caught on the surveillance footage, Ran Jing still couldn’t link Xu Cheng with those hidden urban legends that existed in movies and novels.

Didn’t he look a bit too young to be a hidden master?

After returning home and pushing through the door, she saw Xu Cheng in his tank top walking around in the living room looking for snacks. Ran Jing looked at him from top to bottom, staring at him as if she was trying to see through him.

Xu Cheng obviously felt that pair of eyes, and he turned around in confusion and asked Ran Jing, “Why are you looking at me like a sexual predator, is this really okay?”

And this remark made it even more difficult for Ran Jing to see through Xu Cheng.

Shouldn’t an urban legend be someone that had a silent, ice-cold, and prideful disposition? Ran Jing felt like Xu Cheng didn’t look nor act like a master in disguise at all. You could claim that he was a pervert, yet he could remain unmoved in front of two beautiful girls living under the same roof as him; you could also claim that he was serious and calm, yet sometimes the way he talked just didn’t match up at all.

It was simply too difficult to figure out this guy.

“What did you do before coming to Shangcheng?” Ran Jing asked Xu Cheng in curiosity.

Xu Cheng took a sip of cold mineral water and said, “I was a soldier.”

Shen Yao, who was sitting on the sofa, just asked for no reason, “Hey, I heard that it’s pretty tough on you guys that serve in the military. Some of you might not even get to see a girl in a few years. What happens if you can’t hold it in anymore? Is there a higher chance of people coming out of the closet in the military?”

“Uhhh… This is indeed a topic worth pondering.”

Xu Cheng grinned. “I’m not sure about the others, but I’m not gay. Didn’t you prove that already?

Shen Yao’s eyes opened up wide. “What does that have to do with me?”

Shen Yao saw Ran Jing giving her a weird look. The thing was, what Xu Cheng said gave too much room for interpretation…

She immediately looked towards Ran Jing. “Don’t listen to his nonsense, there’s nothing going on between us.”

Ran Jing didn’t plan on letting Xu Cheng change the topic and quickly followed up with another question, “What was your unit?”

“A normal unit.” Xu Cheng asked, a bit puzzled, “Why do you ask?”

“Nothing.” Ran Jing pouted her ruby lips. “But I don’t believe that you were an ordinary soldier. Are you implying that an ordinary one can beat up a SWAT member like he’s a kid and assemble a gun like it’s a simple toy? Judging by your skills and comprehensive strength, saying that you were an ordinary soldier is underestimating you.”

After Xu Cheng dryly laughed twice, he indifferently replied, “You got me.”

Then, he immediately tensed up, causing the atmosphere to become serious right away.

Ran Jing and Shen Yao both narrowed their eyes. If this was like the movies, this should be the moment when the main character was going unveil his true form, right?

Just as the two were looking forward to it, Xu Cheng took in a deep breath and said, “Then I guess I can’t hide it anymore. My real name actually isn’t Xu Cheng. My surname is actually Awe, my full name is Awesome!”
