The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 268

Chapter 268: Chapter 264: Just Jealousy

"My Brother Leng..."

Chen JianShe went on and on about all the great things about Leng Yuan, like he was chanting a spell.

The others couldn’t take it anymore.

They stepped forward to cover his mouth.

"Just shut up! You think we don’t already know how capable Leng Yuan is?"

If they didn’t, they wouldn’t have backed down just now.

Hearing this, Chen JianShe didn’t seem to mind his mouth being covered. Instead, he just grinned at the four of them.

The moment they let go, he chirped,

"As long as you know!"

The four of them were speechless.

They had to fight the urge to punch him.

It was the first time they’d ever found Chen JianShe so infuriatingly punchable.

Three of them were completely exasperated, but Chen Jie, on the other hand, asked a couple of questions.

"So, does that mean Leng Yuan taught you all those moves?"

Chen JianShe nodded.

"Yup!"

As soon as he said it, he realized something was off.

"You’re not thinking of becoming one of my Brother Leng’s followers too, are you?! Let me tell you, I’m his best follower. Don’t even think about it. It’s not happening."

He was already frustrated enough having Lu Yuanbin competing with him for the spot.

He absolutely wouldn’t allow another one to show up.

At least Lu Yuanbin lived far away, so they only saw each other every week or two. It was fine if his top spot was challenged once in a while, but Chen Jie lived right here in the village.

If he was usurped, his position really would be in jeopardy.

Chen JianShe was usually quite thick-skinned and not particularly perceptive about most things.

He often said the most shocking things at the worst times and was an absolute master at ruining the atmosphere.

But when it came to being perceptive, he could be surprisingly sharp.

He could immediately spot anyone who coveted his position.

Chen Jie was speechless.

That hadn’t been his intention at all. He simply admired capable people.

He wanted to slap himself.

’My whole point was to show these guys the gap between them and Brother Leng so they’d stop getting silly ideas all the time. But instead, I ended up putting ideas into the head of someone who shouldn’t have them.’

Chen JianShe shot Chen Jie a petty glare, then ran off.

Chen Jie was left speechless.

He rubbed his nose.

"He’s not that petty, is he? I didn’t even say anything!"

The other guys shook their heads.

"Ever since he could walk, Chen JianShe has been following Leng Yuan around like a shadow. Of course he’d be mad that you’re trying to take his place."

"If you actually succeeded, all his years of effort would have been for nothing!"

Chen Jie was speechless again.

’I wasn’t trying to steal Chen JianShe’s spot. I was just curious about Leng Yuan.’

’But there was clearly no way to explain that. Whatever.’

’I might as well go back and watch them portion out the pork.’

’Come to think of it, I’m craving some pork, too.’
