Shen Xinbai struck back, consumed by rage.
"You expect me to shut up just because you say so?"
"Lou Jun, you keep calling me a self-righteous bitch, but how are you any different! Do you think you're a good person? How the fuck are you any nobler than me!"
"I hate Xu Chao, and at least I'm open about it. But you? On one hand, you use-"
Suddenly, Lou Jun clamped a hand over Shen Xinbai's mouth, staring at him in horror as he snarled furiously, "Have you fucking lost your mind!"
Shen Xinbai slumped on the deck, his bloodshot eyes fixed on him. In a hoarse voice, he said, "Yes, I've lost my mind. I lost it a long time ago."
Lou Jun's expression changed several times in an instant. He pressed his hand hard over Shen Xinbai's mouth and took several deep breaths before saying in a restrained voice, "Let's both calm down. Don't forget why we came back."
At that, much of the madness in Shen Xinbai's eyes faded. He drew a deep breath, then slapped Lou Jun's hand away. "You're the one who forgot!"
Lou Jun didn't argue with him. Instead, he adopted a deeply affectionate tone again. "Chaochao and I grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Whatever misunderstandings we had before, we can resolve them soon enough."
Shen Xinbai gave a cold snort, his smile utterly insincere. "Then I wish you success."
[Holy shit, these two are really tearing into each other now.]
[Tsk, tsk, villains all around. Neither of them is any good.]
[Go on, keep fighting! I want to know why you two insisted on shamelessly coming back, too!]
[Seriously, thank you to the Real and Fake Husbands Program. Without it, we'd never have realized how despicable these two were.]
By then, everyone
