Stealing Your Heart

Shen Peichuan glanced about the room but saw no glimpse of the bride. “Alright, you’re the best! Now quit being a bully and hand her over to me!” he said cheekily.

Qin Ya crossed her arms and retorted, “Hand her over that easily? Certainly not! You need to pass this test so that we can trust you!”

Shen Peichuan blinked at them wordlessly.

“Well, hurry up, or you’ll miss the auspicious time!” urged Qin Ya.

Shen Peichuan said, “Alright! To help my buddy claim his beloved, I’ll take on your challenge!”

He took off his shoes tentatively and looked at the path ahead. He gingerly tested one step on the durian skin with only his socks before suddenly withdrawing in pain. F*cking hell, this hurts! This is the kind of test Su Zhan should attempt instead.

If he’d known about this, asking Su Zhan to attend might’ve been a better idea.

Guan Jing bit his finger and looked at Shen Peichuan. Warily, he asked, “Does it hurt?”

“Not at all,” replied Shen Peichuan, shaking his head. “The durian must’ve been pretty ripe, for even the thorns are soft.” Did he seriously just ask me that? F*ck’s sake, of course, it hurts! thought Shen Peichuan exasperatedly.

He could not tell the truth. If he hadn’t lied about the pain, how else could he encourage Guan Jing to take the plunge with him?

Guan Jing looked incredulously at Shen Peichuan, not believing a word he said. “I usually prick myself when carrying these b*stards. Imagine stepping on these!”

“Well, if you’re not willing to let your own boss be happily married, don’t help me then!” said Shen Peichuan facetiously.

Guan Jin held his tongue. Empty threats, that’s all they are.

Sighing, Guan Jin removed his shoes. “Why, you’re just as bad as Su Zhan! I used to think you were a good person, but now you’re just being mean.”

Shen Peichuan chuckled. “What of it? As long as someone suffers through this with me, anything goes!”

Guan Jin tutted. “You’re inhumane.”

Soon after he said that, he stepped on the durian skin and yelped in pain.

It felt as if the pricks had gone from his soles straight into his bones. This was the kind of torturous pain that made people scream in agony.

Fortunately, he only had to endure it for a short while because there were only a few of them.
