Please, Love Me Again

Chapter 71: You've Turned On

"No! You stay. I'm cold. You have to warm me." Chen Lei insisted.

"Are you a kid? Why can't you understand human language?" Xander shook his head as he waved his hand, giving up. "I'm too tired talking to you. You are known as a genius man and also don't like to be pestered by other people. But why can't you understand it yourself? Why keep bothering me? If you keep behaving like this, I will think you are a different person."

Chen Lei crossed his arms over his chest and stared at him, insisting his stance with an innocent expression.

"Do mind yourself. I'll go now." Xander said and turned to leave. Before he could pass through the door, he stopped and looked over. "Remember, don't fight. Those who fight have nothing to eat. Looking at the weather, I don't think it will end within a short time. I'll starve you and I mean it."

"Auh, Xander, let me help you." Jasper tossed aside the dry shirt and walked over hurriedly. "I know there's no food in this house. You seem fragile. If you stay in the rain for so long, you might get sick. I'll feel guilty if that happens. But if I'll give you a hand, perhaps, the work will be done fast."

"This… seems not good." Xander looked at Jasper awkwardly. "You're a guest, you can't be doing that. Actually, you don't have to worry. It's not hard."

Jasper stod upright and looked firm with his decision. "I insist."

"This… are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Then, alright." Xander secretly shut Chen Lei a glance as he sensed a murderous gaze setting upon him. Coincidentally, the man caught him and showed his displeasure even more through his gaze.

Xander had had enough of his ugly attitude. This, instead showing him that he felt worried, helpless, and guilty, he gave the man a frown, showing his annoyance to him.

Xander waved his hand and smiled apologetically at Jasper, making him look so innocent and adorable because of that smile. With his dimples so cute, Jasper felt like wanting to just care for the man. But, in order to maintain the harmony between them although he was not afraid of pain and fights, as well as avoiding an awkward air if he was misunderstood, even if he had the urge to just tell Xander to let him do the work, he chose to just keep quiet and follow him.

Chen Lei gnashed his teeth as he sent them out the house with his eyes, mumbling, "Huh, he really let that ugly man come with her? Is she showing me how I am nothing to her?”

"Young Master, you don't look good. Your expression right now is so scary. Even I feel fear just looking at it." Arthur suddenly spoke, hands holding a blanket. "You keep mumbling here. Are you worried that instead of preparing food, they will do something else which is inappropriate? Well… even if they do, you don't have to react like that."

Chen Lei gave the man a cold glance. "Why are you so noisy? Did I ask for your opinion?"

"No. But… you can't stop me from voicing out my mind."

"Boring." Chen Lei shifted his gaze outside and stared at the door.

Arthur shook his head and sighed audibly. "Here, I found a blanket. I could tell you are cold, so, use this to cover yourself. It's clean."

Chen Lei ignored him.

"If you are worried about them, why don't you peek at them by the window or the holes somewhere." Arthur moved and covered the blanket over the shoulders of Chen Lei. "You don't have to stare at the door and imagine things."

"Who said I am worried about them? I don't care what they are planning to do. Why care that fickle person?" Chen Lei smirked and pulled the blanket off his body and threw it aside.

Arthur sighed deep once more. "Chen Lei, you're getting out of yourself again. You don't behave as a President anymore but as an illiterate man. Even an illiterate man can understand a word and know his limits, but why is it hard for you to do that?... Fine, you don't want the blanket? Then, go freeze yourself to death."

Arthur picked up the blanket and dusted the imaginary dirt from it.

Chen Lei did not refute anything that Arthur said. He just stared at the blanket and an absurd scene flashed his mind unexpectedly.

An ugly man with a robust body and a woman with a perfect and seductive body was making out in the room. The man was powerful in bed. He did plenty of s*x positions that made the woman moan in pleasure uncontrollably.

The bed scene was so intense. The two in bed did not care about their surroundings. They turned the bed into a complete mess and continued their blazing fire session.

"Ridiculous!" Chen Lei jeered. "How dare she!"

Arthur noticed the abnormality in Chen Lei's mind. He just observed him and noticed every detail of his actions. Interpreting them, he was sure that he was thinking something he should not. "You have turned on."

"Nonsense. Am I that horny to you?" Chen Lei gave the man an intimidating glance. A man like him would never admit that such a thing was going to happen to him. He felt actually weird at the moment. His heart was beating fast because of anger on that scene but his body also reacted because of their intense s*x.

The woman was so sexy and flawless. The woman was tastier than sweets. Chen Lei was not easy to turn on. He only felt that s****l attraction and interest towards the woman he loved. Indeed, just a mere thought of her on bed and naked, his body immediately turned on. How ridiculous. He found himself funny at the moment.

That woman was really his karma.

Arthur was about to defend himself when a sound of laughter echoed outside the house.

"Come on! Come on! Throw that to me."

"Lieutenant, be careful. The trunk is slippery."

"Huh, is she really enjoying the company of that annoying man? Just wait. I'm going to cripple that man." Chen Lei snatched the blanket back to him and Arthur refused to give it to him.

"What are you trying to do this time?" Arthur frowned. "Chen Lei, mind your actions. Don't forget about your identity."

"You are reacting too much." Chen Lei hauled the blanket. "I don't need you to worry about me. Why don't you go back in the car and get the stuff in the trunk."

After that, Chen Lei stormed out of the house, a blanket dangling in his arms.

"Stuff?" Arthur frowned. "What stuff?" It took Arthur a long time before he understood what his moody boss meant. He hurried to change back in his wet suit and then sprinted out the house to accomplish his given task.

On the other hand, Xander and Jasper were enjoying themselves picking out fruits in the backyard. The fruits were nonetheless ripe banana and guava.

"Lieutenant, I think you just came down. We can just pick some to fill our stomach. No need to trouble yourself climbing the tree." Xander said, eyes narrowing as droplets of water fell on his face.

"No way. The rain cleans the fruit. If it falls on the ground, then they will get dirty. No longer advisable for eating. Rather than getting full, you will get a stomach ache. Not good." Jasper said. "We have to be careful. Hospital is too far from here. Very dangerous."

Xander smiled brightly at Jasper. At the moment, he looked up at him admiringly. He just knew the man for not so long, yet, he already felt he was a real gentleman and a good person. Every time they met, in his heart, Jasper did not fail to impress him. "Lieutenant, you are such a good person. Among the men I knew, you are the first one I admired."

"Really?" Jasper smiled back as he reached out for a cluster of guava. "Then I felt honored. Actually, you are the first one who I felt somewhat familiar with. I felt so close to you. Are you sure we haven't met before?"

"We… of course not. My cousin just told me about you. You once helped her out."

"Your cousin?" Jasper pondered for a moment while putting the fruits on his shirt, serving it as a basket. "Who is your cousin? Perhaps, I will remember her."

"She is Geneva—hey, what are you doing?” Xander shouted as someone abruptly lifted him vertically by his legs. Dictated by his instinct, he struck a series of punches on the back of that person until he was changed into a more intimate position.

Chen Lei carried him like a bride.

Jasper had no time to think about that name Geneva. Seeing how the man forcefully took Xander away, he couldn't help but stop him. "Hey, what are you doing?" Jasper shouted at Chen Lei in a gentleman tone. "Put him down."

Chen Lei turned around and froze, not looking back to Jasper. But Xander could still feel the desire of the man to choke the other man right at that moment. Chen Lei was a man of short words towards others. However, his expression at that moment was filled with killing intent. His gaze and tone made Xander's hair stand on end uncontrollably. "I advise you not to mind our business. Your identity is not enough to scare me. Lieutenant."

"You—” Attention focused on the two below, Jasper accidentally slipped as he was trying to come down and he fell on the ground. Xander screamed, by that time, the fruits scattered on the ground along with a thud.

" Lieutenant, are you alright?" Xander asked as he tried to look at him from behind. "Don't block. I can't see him."

Chen Lei purposely blocked his line of sight and stared at him threateningly. "Don't try me. I have my limits."

Jasper stood up hurriedly, ignoring the dirt all over his body. Seeing the two about to leave despite Xander's refusal, Jasper couldn't stop himself from interfering. "I don't care about your identity. You might be more powerful than me. But in front of bullying, I fear no one. Buddy, you clearly know I used to force. You can't scare me. Xander is a kind man and also feeble. Since I stepped within the perimeter of his house, he is already my friend. You kept harassing him. As a gentleman, how can you do that even if you two truly have that kind of romantic relationship. Now, put him down and stop bullying him."

"Hmmp! A man like you doesn't deserve to talk to me." Chen Lei moved to enter the house, still carrying Xander in his arms. He just took a step when he halted, sparing Jasper a cold sideways glance. "Oh right. Since you like picking fruits so much under the rain, then, go and continue your work. Don't disturb us from spending our precious time together."

"You—”

" Hmmp!" With a hurtful gaze, Chen Lei left the man.

Jasper stood in the rain for almost a minute before he moved to pick a new batch of fruits. He was reaching out for their branches and picking the fruits, sighing and mumbling "Xander is so pitiful. Who exactly is that man? I have seen enough in this world. He really looks like someone who cannot be provoked. Xander oh Xander, how should I help you out in your situation?"

Suddenly, his eyes rounded wide as a thought occurred in his mind. Face lit up happily. "Geneva? His cousin?"
