Chapter 22: Headache!

  Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, half a day has passed. Despite Li Wencheng and Xiao Tian's efforts to persuade him for half a day, Zhang Ziheng still couldn't muster up the courage to go talk to the two girls on his own initiative. Perhaps it was because he didn't want to. Every time Li Wencheng saw Zhang Ziheng, he would shake his head in dismay and silently scold himself for creating such a good opportunity.

  When a group of people returned to the city, under Li Wencheng's repeated urging, Zhang Ziheng finally asked for the phone numbers of the two girls. The two girls also readily told him, and before leaving, they said they would keep in touch often, but judging from Zhang Ziheng's personality, it seems unlikely.

  After playing outside all day, Zhang Ziheng took a bath when he got home. But just as he was halfway through washing, he heard his mobile phone ringing outside. Zhang Ziheng hastily wrapped himself in a towel and ran out to pick it up, only to find that it was Wang Xue calling him. What could she want on a big weekend like this?

  "Hello."

  "You finally picked up the phone, what were you doing? Did I disturb you?" came Wang Xue's unhappy voice from the other end of the line.

  "I'm still taking a bath, what's the matter?" Zhang Ziheng felt somewhat perplexed and wondered what he had done to offend her again.

  "Taking a bath? What's wrong with you? Why are you taking a bath at this hour? It's neither early nor late, what's the point of taking a bath?"

  Zhang Ziheng was thoroughly puzzled, and he had nothing to do with her. "I went on a trip with friends today, just got back, my body is a bit dirty, so I took a bath."

  "Friend? What friend? Male or female? Why didn't you call me today? Why didn't you tell me when you went out to have fun? And why didn't you invite me?" Wang Xue asked a series of questions, leaving Zhang Ziheng stunned.

  "I... Miss, it's none of your business who I go out with, right? And besides, today is the weekend and I'm not working, why should I call you? Can you give me a reason?"

  "You... you still dare to talk back, you son of a bitch. Where are you now? Tell me quickly, I'm going to kill you." Wang Xue was furious and scolded loudly over the phone.

  "Zhang Ziheng, what's wrong with you? I don't know when I offended her again. What's wrong with me this time?" "Big sister, what's gotten into you? I didn't do anything to offend you, did I? Why are you always picking on me?"

  "What? You... you actually dare to say I'm crazy, you've gone too far! Tell me where you are right now, I must kill you today!" Wang Xue panted heavily and said.

  "I'm not talking to you anymore, I still need to take a bath. Let's talk after I finish my bath." After finishing speaking, Zhang Ziheng hung up the phone, then turned it off, shook his head and continued to take a bath.

  Twenty minutes later, Zhang Ziheng finished washing up and came out to get dressed. Just as he had just put on his pants, he suddenly heard someone banging on the door, and it was a very forceful bang. Zhang Ziheng slightly furrowed his brow, thinking to himself that he should have paid all the rent already, so it shouldn't be the landlord. As he thought this, he opened the door.

  As soon as the door opened, Wang Xue glared at Zhang Ziheng with a furious face, as if she wanted to pounce on him and devour him.

  Zhang Ziheng furrowed his brow and asked in puzzlement: "How did you find this place? And how did you know my home was here?"

  Wang Xue let out a hum, stepped forward and pushed him hard, almost knocking Zhang Ziheng to the ground. "I said I'd kill you, did you think I was kidding? You even dared to hang up on me and turn off your phone, are you tired of living?" Wang Xue said as she approached Zhang Ziheng, who had already retreated to the edge of his bed.

  "Sister, I...I really don't know what I did wrong, what's going on here? Keep your voice down, the neighbors will hear." Zhang Ziheng said as he quickly walked around her and closed the door.

  Wang Xue, still fuming, pulled him back and said: "What did you do wrong? You dare to say I'm being unreasonable. For a whole day, not a single phone call from you, and you're out on an outing with your friends. How carefree you are!"

  "What's it to you? I'm just going out with friends. And today is my day off, why would I call you if nothing's up? This project has already been formalized, what's there to report to you?" Zhang Ziheng said with a confused expression.

  "You... you're really infuriating me, you're just a blockhead, a big blockhead. I..." Wang Xue was so angry that she picked up something from the nearby table and was about to smash it.

  Zhang Ziheng was startled and quickly grabbed her wrist, saying: "My big sister, calm down, what's wrong with me? Tell me, don't smash my things! This mouse cost me 15 bucks. Ah, ah, ah, this vase is not okay either, it belongs to the landlord, if you break it I'll have to compensate him."

  To ensure that everything in the house was intact, Zhang Ziheng grasped Wang Xue's hands tightly and wouldn't let her pick up anything else.

  "You... let go, you're really infuriating me!" Wang Xue said as she leaned forward with a burst of strength, her head butting against Zhang Ziheng's chest and pushing him onto the bed. She herself also fell backwards.

  "Hey, what are you doing?"

  Wang Xue slowly got up, then rode on his body, casually grabbed a pillow and hit Zhang Ziheng with a burst of wild blows, causing the feathers inside the pillow to fly everywhere.

  "Hey, you... stop it, hey, if you keep this up I won't be polite anymore." Zhang Ziheng said while dodging.

  "Oh, you dare to be rude to me? Come on, try it and see how I'll deal with your rudeness!" Wang Xue said, getting even more agitated, not only wildly swinging her arms but also moving her body up and down, causing Zhang Ziheng's stomach to ache."

  "Hey……alright, that's enough." Zhang Ziheng grabbed her shoulders with both hands and flipped her onto the bed with a swift motion. Perhaps he used too much force, causing Wang Xue's head to knock against the wooden bed frame.

  "Ah, oh no, ah......" Wang Xue suddenly stopped moving, her hands covering the back of her head, with a painful expression on her face.

  Zhang Ziheng was startled and hurriedly crawled over, saying: "You... how are you? Sorry sorry, I didn't mean to, I just wanted to get you off me, didn't expect to use too much strength, are you okay?"

  This isn't said yet, but as soon as it was mentioned, Wang Xue suddenly covered the back of her head and started crying, "Ah...... you bastard, you hit me, how dare you hit me. You wait, I'll definitely get my dad to kill you, hmm..."

  "Hey, how are you? Do you need to go to the hospital? If it's just a concussion, that's okay, but what if this bump makes you stupid?" Zhang Ziheng asked worriedly.

  "You... you scoundrel, big scoundrel! I'm already like this and you still dare to laugh at me!" Wang Xue cried while hitting him.

  "Yes, yes, I'm a big bad guy, but you have to tell me if something's wrong. Come down slowly and let me massage it for you?" Zhang Ziheng said.

  "Go away, I don't need you to massage me, go." Wang Xue said while pushing him away, and she cried even harder.

  "You... wait a minute." Zhang Ziheng said and ran to the bathroom, after a while he came back with a wet towel in his hand. "Don't move, using an ice towel to cool down will make you feel better."

  "Don't touch me, I don't want you to interfere." Wang Xue said tearfully.

  Zhang Ziheng couldn't bear to see girls cry, and now Wang Xue's crying had made his heart a mess. "Ahh, my big sister, what's gotten into you? Why are you still being so stubborn? I'll promise you this: as long as you're willing to calm down, whatever you say, I'll listen to it, okay?"

  "Really? This is what you said, I didn't force you."

  "Yes, it's what I said. Please, spare me the agony and don't torture yourself either." Zhang Ziheng hastily nodded in agreement.

  This time it's finally quiet, Wang Xue has stopped making a fuss, and is obediently lying on the bed, letting Zhang Ziheng use an ice pack to cool her down. After a while, Zhang Ziheng gently touched her and then said with relief: "Fortunately, there's no swelling, just a slight touch."

  "What lightly bumped into? Obviously it was a fierce collision, and my head still hurts now. You actually said it so lightly." Wang Xue immediately became unhappy, turning over to say.

  "Yes, yes, it's all my fault, sorry, sorry. Now, young lady, are you okay? Look at me, I don't even have any painkillers, should I take you to the hospital? If something serious happens, I won't be able to explain it to the chairman." Zhang Ziheng said worriedly.

  "Now you know it's not good to explain, what were you thinking just now? I think you have ulterior motives, trying to trick me into going home with you, then hitting my head and kidnapping me, and extorting money from my parents."

  "Hey...... why aren't you being reasonable? It was clearly your initiative..."

  "How dare you talk back to me! Oh, I have a headache. You're such a bad egg, bullying me." As she spoke, Wang Xue was about to cry again, covering her head with a painful expression.

  "Okay, okay, it's my fault, I was wrong, I don't dare to argue with you anymore, don't cry." Zhang Ziheng coaxed Wang Xue like a child, but he was extremely depressed in his heart.

  Wang Xue finally spared him, but suddenly saw Zhang Ziheng's phone and casually picked it up.

  "What's wrong with you?"

  "Don't talk, continue to apply the cold compress." Wang Xue said, then turned on her phone. Coincidentally, as soon as she opened it, the phone rang. Wang Xue took a look and asked with an unpleasant expression: "Who is Zhou Ling?"

  Zhang Ziheng took a look and said, "Friend, we were just out playing together today." He then picked up the phone to answer it.

  "Don't come near." Wang Xue said with a glare.

  "Why?"

  "I said no calls are allowed, and you didn't listen to me, did you? Oh dear, I have a headache." Wang Xue said, covering her head again.

  "Alright, alright, I won't answer it," Zhang Ziheng said, putting his phone aside and thinking to himself, "What's your headache? This is my headache."
