Infinity, our Zhongzhou team has a bright future.

Chapter 298 Zhang Jie: He should thank me!

The happier everyone laughed, the gloomier Zheng Zha's face became. If Zhang Jie hadn't promised to save face for him while dealing with the others, Zheng Zha would have already dragged Zhang Jie off to practice again.

Zhang Jie, who was laughing heartily, suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He turned around and saw Zheng Zha's extremely gloomy gaze, and a wave of pain began to surge in his eye sockets again.

To prevent history from repeating itself, Zhang Jie cleared his throat and said in a serious tone, "Stop laughing! If you want to know what happened, listen to me quietly!"

To save face for Zhang Jie, the laughter gradually subsided.

Seeing this, Zhang Jie nodded in satisfaction and prepared to continue speaking.

Suddenly, Cheng Xiao shouted from the crowd, "Why can't I laugh?! Oh, I get it, you're scared of Zheng Zha, hahaha."

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter again. Zhang Jie immediately became furious and retorted, "What are you afraid of?! I was just giving Zheng Zha face. We're all teammates, we'll see each other all the time, it's good to save face to avoid embarrassment later!"

“I understand the reasoning, but your panda eyes are not convincing at all.” Cheng Xiao focused on Zhang Jie’s panda eyes and asked him if this was the leniency Zheng Zha showed him?

Zhang Jie was speechless for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Zheng Zha, only to find that Zheng Zha's eyes were darting away and he dared not meet his gaze.

Cheng Xiao saw all of this and immediately pointed at Zhang Jie and shouted, "Brother Jie, it seems you've been deluding yourself, hahaha."

"Enough!" Zhang Jie roared at Cheng Xiao, then said angrily, "Do you still want to know what happened to Zheng Zha's injury? If you want to know, then help me gag Cheng Xiao!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd, still eager to know the whole story and satisfy their curiosity, instantly stared intently at Cheng Xiao, their eyes seeming to say, "If you dare to cause trouble again, I'll sew your mouth shut."

Not wanting to provoke public anger, Cheng Xiao made a zipping motion over his mouth on the spot, then raised his hands to indicate surrender, saying he dared not cause any more trouble.

Zhang Jie chuckled coldly, thinking to himself, "You really think I can't handle you, kid?" He then continued to satisfy everyone's curiosity.

"Let me think where we were. Oh, I remember we were talking about Luo Li beating up Zheng Zha because she was jealous."

Zheng Zha didn't expect that Zhang Jie would bring this up again now, having just mentioned it once before. His cold gaze was fixed on Zhang Jie once more.

Zhang Jie suppressed the chill running down his spine and continued, "Next, after Luo Li beat Zheng Zha, she decided to give him a chance to explain. Everyone knows this, so we'll skip that."

Then there's the reason Zheng Zha got injured. Because it involves personal privacy, I can't go into details.

In short, Zheng Zha's sincerity moved Luo Li, leading her to forgive him. As a result, during their passionate embrace, he forgot that Luo Li now had a pair of dragon horns on her head. And then, you see what happened next.

The crowd was very dissatisfied with the result. They had been expecting some exciting content, but this was all they got. A chorus of boos erupted from the audience.

Faced with the boos from the crowd, Zhang Jie shrugged and said, "I was also hoping for some exciting content, but this is just how it is. I can't distort the facts, can I?"

"Tch, you have the nerve to say that." Cheng Xiao gave Zhang Jie the middle finger on the spot, and then shook his head under the other's angry glare, saying, "Forget it, this is pointless, let's go back to sleep."

"If I had known there was only this much melon, I would have preferred to stay in the tent and sleep."

"That's it."

The crowd echoed Cheng Xiao's words and dispersed.

After everyone returned to their tents, Zhang Jie slipped into Zheng Zha's tent, raised an eyebrow at Zheng Zha, and said, "Done. I didn't lie to you this time, did I?" Zheng Zha grasped Zhang Jie's hands, feeling both touched and a little guilty, and said, "Brother Jie, thank you so much this time. I was wrong just now; I shouldn't have doubted you."

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Recalling that he had been eavesdropping on Zheng Zha not long ago, Zhang Jie withdrew his hands somewhat embarrassedly, called to Na'er, and said to Zheng Zha, "It's already very late. If there's nothing else, your sister-in-law and I will head back first."

"It's really late, let me see you off." Zheng Zha quickly got up to see you off, but Zhang Jie stopped him.

"It's just a few steps, you don't need to walk me there. You should spend more time with Lori."

After saying that, Zhang Jie pulled Na'er away quickly.

Zheng Zha stood at the tent flap and shouted at Zhang Jie's back, "Brother Jie, thank you so much for tonight!"

Just as Zhang Jie was about to enter the tent, he stumbled and almost fell inside. Na'er had to wave him on to say "You're welcome."

Seeing this, Zheng Zha didn't think much of it. After returning to the tent and lying down with Luo Li in his arms, he thought about everything Zhang Jie had done for him that night and couldn't help but sigh, "Brother Jie is a reliable person in critical moments. He's a good guy."

Luo Li nodded obediently in his arms, but dared not move too much for fear that the dragon horns on her head would poke Zheng Zha again.

Although he was very grateful for Zhang Jie's help, Zheng Zha felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was no problem.

As Zheng Zha was thinking, he realized that Luo Li in his arms had fallen asleep, and he couldn't help but yawn.

The many events that happened that day left even Zheng Zha, a powerful expert with double A-level enhancements, feeling exhausted.

Forget it, why think so much? Too much has happened today. I should just get some rest.
Zheng Zha carefully adjusted the position of Luo Li in his arms to prevent her from unconsciously poking him with the dragon horns while she was asleep, and then closed his eyes to go to sleep.

However, just as he was drifting off to sleep, a sudden inspiration flashed through Zheng Zha's mind. He abruptly opened his eyes and gritted his teeth as he squeezed out two words from the corner of his mouth.

"Zhang Jie!"

Zheng Zha understood everything. The reason why he felt something was wrong was because of Zhang Jie's words: "The reason why Zheng Zha was injured involves personal privacy, so it is inconvenient to tell you in detail."

When Zheng Zha first heard this, he thought Zhang Jie was referring to the incident of making love.

But now, thinking about it carefully, and considering the explanation Zhang Jie gave on his behalf...

The so-called privacy clearly refers to the fact that he explained those messy things in the real world to Lori.

How did Zhang Jie know about these "personal secrets"? Unless he was eavesdropping nearby at the time!

Zheng Zha was furious. Zhang Jie not only eavesdropped, but also pretended to come to his rescue, acting like a good guy! And in the end, he even thanked him!
Thinking of this, Zheng Zha wanted nothing more than to find Zhang Jie and punch him twice in the eye sockets. But looking at Luo Li sleeping soundly in his arms, Zheng Zha had to swallow his anger for the time being.

As for whether Zhang Jie was wronged, Zheng Zha thought about it carefully and found that it was impossible for him to be wronged.

If Zhang Jie hadn't been eavesdropping, why would he have thought of using his explanation to Luo Li to fool others?
