Dating the Strongest Boss

Chapter 12



Chapter 12

Xiao Chen was shocked in his heart.

Actually, when he had seen the curly-haired girl push the blame onto Yang Jie last night, he had already felt that something was off. But he couldn’t put his finger on exactly what it was.

At least, he didn’t believe that the curly-haired girl would be tortured for nothing.

He could see that in this dream woven by Xu Sheng, there were some people purposefully chosen to have a gruesome demise. Other people’s deaths were more similar to adding fuel to the fire, as there wasn’t much punishment involved in the process. Those who were due for punishment were Bai Qiaoqiao, Yang Jie, and that curly-haired girl.

Xiao Chen was sure of one thing, which was that Bai Qiaoqiao was really dead. But when everyone else was killed, they would wake up from the dream alive.

Xiao Chen didn’t wish to stop Xu Sheng’s revenge. He wasn’t the Holy Mother, and furthermore, he didn’t believe that this group of students was innocent.

Moreover, in this world, death did not mean death in reality.

“Senior Xiao Chen, please let me go with you.” Gao Xuhan saw his contemplative face and promptly wanted to walk forward and tug on the other’s clothes. But when she had just barely touched them, she experienced a painful electric shock. She was so alarmed that she hastily retrieved her hand.

Xiao Chen immediately retreated a few steps. “Are you okay?”

Gao Xuhan swallowed her saliva, and her legs softened a little. In her eyes, everything around her had gone through earthshaking changes.

The originally clear weather was suddenly bathed in darkness, and the surrounding camphor trees were the color of black charcoal, like they had been burnt in a fire. Even the bright sun was now scarlet.

Xiao Chen’s face had transformed into meat paste, and his whole body was indistinct. White bone was exposed through his torn flesh, as if he had been skinned alive.

“AHHHHH!” Gao Xuhan was frightened into madness, and she almost fell to the ground. She violently turned around and bolted, leaving Xiao Chen standing in place, dumbfounded as he watched her.

Gao Xuhan trembled uncontrollably as she ran for an unknown amount of time. When she was about to collapse from exhaustion, she felt her head being enveloped by something similar to a black shadow. Soon, black mist began to emanate from her body, carrying hints of maliciousness.

“Want to live longer?” A male voice whispered in her ear, so hoarse that it seemed like its owner’s throat had been damaged.

“AHHHHHHH!” Gao Xuhan hurriedly backed away, horror evident in her eyes.

“Do you not want to go home? You aren’t someone from this world, right? Keke.” This voice was extremely creepy, low, indifferent and cold, and echoed.

Gao Xuhan was stunned, and her mouth parted reflexively. She almost let out a sound, but she blocked her mouth in time when she heard the voice icily warn, “Don’t talk if you don’t want to die.”

“Want to live?”

Gao Xuhan’s tears flowed down her cheeks as she covered her nose and mouth. She nodded fiercely, fearing that the other party would take back his words.

“Then listen to me.” The voice had a somewhat persuading tone, and was very light.

“I’ll give you one chance.” The voice paused, before saying with a sneer, “Hurry to the gym within half an hour, and open the iron box at the center. Afterwards, you will be allowed to escape.”

Gao Xuhan’s snot was smeared all over her face as she nodded vigorously. She waited until the pressure on her had dispersed, before slumping on the ground as if she had just been freed from chains.

Ah.

Ever heard of Pandora’s Box?

When the lid was taken off that magic box, greed, hypocrisy, slander, jealousy, suffering, and death were released. And once the magic box was opened, it could never be closed.

Xiao Chen suspiciously looked at Gao Xuhan’s back view. He paused, dipping his head to examine his arm. He didn’t know why the other party was so aggressive.

But he didn’t take this matter too seriously. Instead, he paid more attention to what she had told him. Xiao Chen pondered for a moment, thinking that the curly-haired girl’s cause of death was really puzzling. Eventually, he resolutely decided to return to the library.

He trusted Xu Sheng quite a bit, and he knew that the other would not harm him.

From the beginning, this dream was meant to punish the sinners who had hurt Xu Sheng. Xiao Chen wasn’t included. At the start, he was the one who had chosen to enter the dream.

Among those who were involved, Bai Qiaoqiao and Wang Tong were the masterminds, Yang Jie was a partner, and the others were bystanders who helped, so what role did the curly-haired girl play?

Wait, wrong.

Xiao Chen was cold inside for a while.

These people weren’t the only ones who killed Xu Sheng!

There was also the man who lived near Xu Sheng’s home. Xu Sheng had loudly begged him for assistance before his death. The man had seen him, but he did not save him!

Since coming into this dream, Xiao Chen hadn’t seen anyone other than the students in Class 4! If Xu Sheng really wanted revenge, how could he let that man go?

Was the man already dead?

Or did someone here have a close relationship with him?

Xiao Chen swallowed his saliva. His fingers squeezed together unconsciously, and he stood unsteadily.

He was very eager to know the truth!

Why would Yang Jie become an accomplice in Xu Sheng’s death? What really happened that day? What else didn’t he know?

The black shadow under Xiao Chen’s feet appeared to have sensed his uneasiness, and instantly gained solidity.

But this time, it was no longer a vague outline, but a real human form.

Grey pupils were revealed once the thick and heavy glasses were removed, uncovering the face that should have amazed everyone.

Xiao Chen blushed. Not because of something else, but because he was embarrassed to find that after Xu Sheng had transformed, he was actually wearing the same set of clothes as himself! They both had jeans, a white cotton T-shirt, and even the patterns on their clothes were identical!

Wasn’t this just like a couple?

But the Xu Sheng in front of him had changed dramatically from the Xu Sheng in his memory. Now, his facial features were tougher, he had gained many centimeters in height, and he had matured noticeably. He was more like a man, not a student.

“You.” Before Xiao Chen could finish his words, he was safely cuddled in Xu Sheng’s embrace. “Senior!”

I really want to keep you in my arms like this, forever and ever, so that even the end of life cannot separate us!

Xiao Chen was startled, and he subconsciously hugged Xu Sheng’s head, gently stroking the other’s fluffy hair.

Xu Sheng silently raised the corner of his mouth as his head rested on Xiao Chen’s shoulder.

The Bible says: Do not arouse or awaken the one I love, until he pleases.

And Shakespeare once said: The Devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.

“You.” Xiao Chen looked at him dryly. “What did you go through that day?”

Xu Sheng’s grin involuntarily straightened into a thin line. His expression cooled as his eyes narrowed. But in the next second, his face regained its tenderness. He held Xiao Chen’s waist, lovingly saying, “Close your eyes.”

Everything is as you wish.

T/N: The author actually put more Western terminology than Chinese, so I couldn’t find anything for below (╥_╥). Also, I fell asleep in the middle of translating this. It’s exams month as well, so expect some slowdown in releases.
