Tattoo

>When he was about to open his mouth, Xiao Ke shushed him, and when Zhou Zui asked him with his eyes what was wrong, Xiao Ke pointed downstairs, and Zhou Zui’s face sank when he looked down.

Xiao Ke also stroked his forehead and let out a long sigh in his heart.
Master Xiao was anxious to eat this meal, and all these kids came out to stir up trouble.

Tang Yawei came very coincidentally, and this time he came to really stir up the pot, even if it was through coincidence.

Xiao Ke sat down on Zhou Zui’s side and pointed to the seat opposite to where he just sat and said to Tang Yawei, “Sit down, handsome boy.”

The man really came over and sat down with his eyes always fixed on Zhou Zui.
The bouquet of flowers between them burned his eyes red, and his voice was gruff and hoarse, “Zhou Zui, you really dare?”

Zhou Zui also did not look at him and just told Xiao Ke, “Let’s go, go back and talk.”

Xiao Ke also wanted to go.
He didn’t really want to let anyone else get in the way today.
Xiao Ke shook his head and asked Tang Yawei, “Come on, you have something to say, I’ll listen, otherwise you’ll always come over and make it uncomfortable.”

Tang Yawei looked at him and sneered, “I can’t talk to you.”

“Yes, you can.” Xiao Ke also smiled at him, “Whatever you say, if it is related to Teacher Zhou, you can say it to me.”

The man stared at him and asked after a while, “Do you know who I am?”

Xiao Ke shook his head honestly, “I don’t know, I’m waiting for you to say it.”

“You don’t even know me, and you dare to say that you are related to Zhou Zui?” Tang Yawei still smiled coldly.

Zhou Zui stood up to pull Xiao Ke’s arm, and he looked at him before he called out, “Professor Xiao.”

His voice was very earnest and even sounded a little grave.
Xiao Ke stood up after him and smiled at him, “Yes, what’s up, babe?”

This “babe” was very open and deliberately said in front of Tang Yawei to establish an image.
No matter who you are and no matter what your purpose is, Zhou Zui is the man I’ve taken in so don’t think about it.

Zhou Zui whispered to him, “There are some things I, myself, want to say.”

He said it so seriously that Xiao Ke nodded without even thinking, “Okay.”

In fact, Xiao Ke originally wanted to take care of the opposing person first, but since Zhou Zui did not want them to communicate that much, it did not matter if they did not take care of it first.

Zhou Zui pulled Xiao Ke to leave and Tang Yawei stood up so Zhou Zui shouted downstairs, “Who’s downstairs?”

A tattoo artist answered, “I’m here, what’s wrong, Teacher Zhou?”

Zhou Zui said, “Send Xiaobei upstairs.”

“Oh, okay.”

Across the room, Tang Yawei laughed and asked Zhou Zui, “Are you scared? Afraid of me?”

Zhou Zui did not even look at him, and did not talk to him at all while one hand kept holding Xiao Ke’s arm and did not let go.

Xiao Ke gently swayed his arm to reassure Zhou Zui.
‘Don’t be nervous, I’ll listen to whatever you want to say, it’s just about the past, Professor Xiao isn’t very concerned, Professor Xiao is very spontaneous.’

Xiao Ke smiled at him, and his smile was always very calming.

“You’re just scared.” Tang Yawei’s voice was harsh like they were pinched by his hand.
It may have been a psychological effect, but Xiao Ke felt that his voice was harder to hear after the pinching, “You’re afraid of yourself, you’re afraid that people won’t accept you, you’re afraid that everyone will leave, you’re afraid that you’ll end up alone.”

He finished with his own laugh that was hideous, “It is useless to be afraid, that is your fate.
You have to be alone for the rest of your life, this curse has been soaked into your blood!”

The man’s expression and tone of voice were so paranoid that Xiao Ke thought he might not be that mentally sane.
The air upstairs was stagnant, and no one spoke.
After a while, he heard Lu Xiaobei run out of a tattoo room downstairs and run upstairs.

As soon as he came up and saw the situation, he was baffled and shouted, “Fuck! When did you get in?”

Zhou Zui pointed to Tang Yawei and said to Lu Xiaobei, “Stop him from following me.”

“Okay, you go, brother.” Lu Xiaobei looked at Zhou Zui and then at Xiao Ke, who had a natural expression on his face that didn’t look angry, and Lu Xiaobei breathed a sigh of relief.
He was terrified to death of what this madman was saying.

Zhou Zui pulled Xiao Ke to go, and before Xiao Ke left, he looked at Tang Yawei’s horrible face with the corners of his mouth gently pulled up and said to him, “You said Zhou Zui’s fate is to die alone.
Even if what you say is true, I still have to tell you, I never believe in fate.
Whether it is people or fate, if I want to change it, I will change it.
As long as I want to, changing the fate of the heavens is nothing to be afraid of, I must try.”

Lu Xiaobei whistled loudly and gave a thumbs up to Xiao Ke.

Xiao Ke moved his arm to make Zhou Zui let go of his arm, and then took his hand immediately after.

Nobody would be unmoved by such words, and how could anyone not like him? Xiao Ke’s charm was embodied in every aspect of his personality.
Zhou Zui pointed to Tang Yawei again, then took Xiao Ke’s hand and walked away.
His palms were even perspiring as he clutched Xiao Ke’s hand tightly and fondly as if cherishing it.

Lu Xiaobei blocked Tang Yawei to prevent him from following and whispered, “You should let go.
Let it go.
You’re crazy.
Others still have to fucking live, not everyone must go crazy with you.
I’m really fucking impressed…”

Tang Yawei was struck by lightning and froze in place while staring straight in the direction Zhou Zui left.

Until the two men went downstairs, Tang Yawei suddenly leaned over the railing and shouted, “You don’t know who I am, then do you know that my brother died in Zhou Zui’s bed?”

Xiao Ke’s footsteps stopped almost instantly.

Lu Xiaobei cursed and kicked Tang Yawei in the back before pulling his hair and wrenching him back as he tried to shut him up.

Xiao Ke lifted his head and looked over.

Tang Yawei’s goal was accomplished, and Lu Xiaobei pulled on him but he still laughed.
His hand rose to point at Zhou Zui, “He took a bath filled with the blood from my brother’s body…Is this still okay?”
