Marriage of a Sickly Villain and a Fortune Hunter - Chap 29
The scene fell into dead silence for a very long time. Xia Xingchi raised his head and stared blankly at the camera hanging silently in mid air.
The two stared at each other for ages. He clearly still couldn’t believe what had happened, and turned his head mechanically to look at Li Chengyuan.
Seemingly unperturbed, Li Chengyuan continued to sit on the bench with a blank expression and lowered his head to take a bite of custard. He asked calmly: “Do you want to try it again?”
Xia Xingchi: “……..”
[Help, ah, it’s killing me! Sitting on his lap and grabbing Mr. Li’s chin,
baby is actually so passionate! Yum, yum! (horny.jpg)]
[Hurry up and fry him! Hurry, Mr. Li, the car door has been welded shut by us!]
[Hahahaha baby is at a loss, he really didn’t know we were watching]
[Oops ~ We seem to have been discovered! Us peeping perverts overturned the car hahaha]
[No no no, wait, what did I miss……why do I see such an exciting scene just after turning on the live broadcast? Is this really Xia Xingchi?]
[Ignorant +1 Weren’t they not too familiar yesterday? Is today actually the 14th? I slept for half a month?]
[So these two must be a real couple, right? Anyway, good brothers don’t treat each other like that, so don’t insist on brotherhood, ba]
Sitting down and grasping the chin in such a way was earth-shattering. Not only were passers-by all stunned, but even Xia Yu’s fans, who had been dancing all morning, were speechless in shock and turned off their microphones collectively.
After a long silence, someone finally re-started the ridicule with insufficient confidence:
[This bi*ch Xia Xingchi, the boss asks him to sit and he really sits? He doesn’t know this is someone else’s fiance?]
[Ah, this? Let’s just say, could it be his own fiance?]
[Seriously, upstairs? This low-tier flop sold vegetables in the valley, he doesn’t even have the qualifications to know Li Chengyuan]
[In the 21st Century, some people still judge others by their background. I think you need to receive junior high school ideological and moral re-education]
[Mr. Li is Xiao Yu’s! It’s just sitting on the lap, and it’s all Xia Xingchi’s initiative. This is the mistress seducing him and inciting everyone’s emotions]
[Has Xia Xingchi’s water army come, ba? Li Xiu and Han Yuanhe held hands outside and no one kowtowed. If a certain guy sits down, the fiance will become his?]
[What holding hands? They were arm wrestling, ah! Is your brain sick ba?]
[You guys go ahead and fight. Anyway, whoever knocks Yuanchi cp will be happy. I will knock first in respect]
. . . . . .
Xia Xingchi looked at the egg custard that Li Chengyuan handed over, then thought of how he was fed by him just now in front of the camera and immediately became furious, wanting to directly smash the whole bowl into his face.
Then he would run away, find a crack in the ground to hide in, and desperately grab the ground with his toes for 24 hours.
Taking a very long, deep breath, he silently reminded himself that this was his boss who had just doubled his salary. It was only then that Xia Xingchi was able to resist the urge to grab his collar and beat him, and he continued to cook with great force.
The force was so great that he nearly broke the wooden spatula. Those who didn’t know would think he was mining.
No wonder Li Chengyuan had been abnormal since he entered the kitchen.
At first he thought he had been struck dumb by the truth of the White Moonlight incident, but it appeared that this person was acting deliberately from the beginning.
The showdown last night had not changed Li Chengyuan’s original plans at all. He still dug pits in a freestyle manner to let the whole world know they were a couple.
The problem was that many people had seen the recording of the rollover crash just now. If he continued to be polite and call him “Mr. Li” as if nothing had happened, would he be able to get away with it?
But if he didn’t call him Mr. Li, he couldn’t call him “Li Chengyuan” and scare the audience who hadn’t gotten up early to watch the live broadcast, right?
Xia Xingchi struggled with this while cooking, and finally came up with a reliable answer – he should go to the old man at the entrance of the village and buy some pesticides to put in the vegetables and poison this big evil idiot to death.
Since the atmosphere between the two was awkward as hell, when the meal was served, the whole dining table began to feel uncomfortable.
Among the crowd, only Li Xiu knew what had happened to overturn the car, but he didn’t dare voice it, so he could only concentrate on eating as if nothing had happened.
Han Yuanhe vaguely felt that the mood was not right, so he tried to correct it by saying: “Xingchi’s cooking skills are really good! Jing, ah, should we also learn from the teacher?”
An Jing smiled: “Then you learn how to make it for me to eat.”
After thinking about it, he asked Xia Xingchi again: “Xingchi, I noticed you like food with a rather heavy taste, why did you make it so light this morning?”
This happened to be a delicate subject for Xia Xingchi. He shot a glance at Li Chengyuan and resisted the urge to gnash his teeth as he continued to smile:
“I didn’t perform well today, I’ll make a table of spicy dishes tomorrow.”
Just let a certain person die of stomach pain, then the goal of poisoning would be fulfilled.
At this time, the director patted the microphone and said: “Good morning, everyone! Our task this morning is to catch and harvest fish, and exchange them to purchase enough meat for a barbecue this evening.”
The intensity and difficulty of the tasks for this season had been significantly reduced. After all, Li Chengyuan was among the guests, and the program team dared not torment him. Messing with their patron would definitely not result in anything good.
What’s more, he didn’t seem to be in good health, and it was best to not let this priceless person become too tired.
In any case, this season had a bigger selling point.
Li Chengyuan’s official announcement and the battlefield between Xia Yu and Xia Xingchi alone were enough to attract higher popularity ratings, and everyone could bask in the reflection of glory and be less troubled.
– – –
Xia Xingchi stood before the wardrobe that had been provided by the program group and tilted his head to stare at the hanging clothes. In the end, he unhesitatingly chose the ugliest piece, which looked like a dusty sack with holes.
Then he picked up a pair of ugly trousers with extremely short legs that looked like a lantern inflated by the wind.
“I’ve chosen. Mr. Li, please come and change quickly.”
Xia Xingchi had a strange, enigmatic air as he grabbed a down-to-earth straw hat, trying to make the outfit as ugly as possible.
Unless the program wanted to be taken off the shelves for pornography, there was really no camera in the room, and there were indeed only the two of them here.
Xia Xingchi had wanted to beat Li Chengyuan violently as soon as he entered the door, but feared that his fragile glass heart would be damaged, and he would clasp his chest and cough again.
In order to prevent his act of pretending to be more injured than he actually was, Xia Xingchi had no choice but to compromise and choose such a method of retaliation that he thought was “not very harmful, but extremely insulting.”
Among the “ugly” and “uglier,” he chose the latter, and happily made Li Chenyuan wear it.
Li Chengyuan was helpless, and could only sit aside and let Xia Xingchi toss about.
He was not an artist, and didn’t carry the burden of being an idol. On the contrary, a hedgehog with thorns all over his body must have some way of venting, so it was better to make him happy by dressing ugly.
As he was unbuttoning and taking off his casual clothes, Xia Xingchi abruptly said: “Ai! Wait — What are you doing undressing in front of me?”
Although a little money-grubber loved money, it wasn’t that he didn’t like beauties at all. Given someone’s multiple-layered routine, Xia Xingchi had to suspect that he was trying to seduce him.
“Haven’t you already seen and touched it?” Li Chengyuan didn’t think much of it at all, and didn’t know whether to laugh or get angry.
Xia Xingchi was shocked: “Nonsense! Why would I touch you, ah, you must be dreaming!”
After saying this, he remembered at once that he had indeed fished up an unconscious Li Chengyuan from the bathtub that night.
Not only did he see it, but he dragged him to the bed with great effort and wiped him up and down with a bath towel for “friendly service.”
“I was afraid you would drown! Wait, how did you know?” Xia Xingchi couldn’t help being suspicious.
At that time, Li Chengyuan had not only remained motionless with his eyes closed, but also didn’t even struggle when his mouth and nose were submerged under the water. He must have been legitimately passed out rather than acting.
But if he was really aware at that time, wouldn’t he have witnessed the process of him appearing out of nowhere……
Li Chengyuan narrowed his eyes slightly: “Xia Xingchi, you’re nervous.”
When he said this, he was wearing a smile that was not a smile, with only a look of stern scrutiny in his eyes, which made Xia Xingchi’s hair stand on end. He said loudly:
“What am I nervous about! Shut up and get dressed, you!”
Li Chengyuan didn’t pursue the matter, and continued to unbutton his shirt.
He was totally indifferent and calculating, as if everything was under control and there was no reason to ask, making people confused about how much he knew. The more he was like this, the more panicked Xia Xingchi became.
— Did he really see something, and that’s why he thinks I have the ability to disappear out of thin air?
As he thought about this, he couldn’t help but glance at Li Chengyuan’s half-naked upper body out of the corner of his eye. His waistline was sleek and powerful, the lines of his muscles rather beautiful.
Evidently a certain person was not so delicate when not playing sick. On the contrary, he maintained his figure very well. No wonder he had such an earth-shattering force value.
It looked pretty good……
Xia Xingchi’s gaze slowly moved back again, and he looked away an instant later with a guilty conscience, only to slowly peek again.
Up until he decided to take one last look, and suddenly found that the person was gone.
Immediately after turning his head, he found Li Chengyuan standing in front of him, looking down as he asked mildly: “Does it look good?”
Startled, Xia Xingchi blushed a little upon being caught. Fortunately, Li Chengyuan was already dressed when he came over instead of standing naked in front of him, otherwise the scene would be even more terrifying.
“Who’s looking at you!” Xia Xingchi said, embarrassed into anger. “I’ve seen and touched a lot of handsome guys, you……you’re just the same!”
This was not an accurate statement. Although he had observed countless people, this was the first time he had seen someone so good-looking.
Li Chengyuan frowned slightly when he heard these words: “Seen and touched a lot?”
Xia Xingchi gave a hum. He was, after all, a masseuse. If a certain person behaved well, he could show off his professional skills in the future.
Li Chengyuan wanted to ask more, but the director had to urge at this time: “President Li, Xingchi? Have you changed yet?”
As soon as the door was opened, the barrage that was so bored that they were about to fall asleep while waiting suddenly burst into laughter.
[OMG! Is Mr. Li wearing a sack? Why is he dressed in such a unique style?]
[Ahhh so handsome! Facts have proven that the saying ‘clothes make the man’ is false. The male god still looks good in a sack]
[Hahaha the trousers are too short and the ankles are exposed. Nice, those ankles are so sensual and good-looking ba]
Xia Xingchi followed him out, and when the cold wind blew, he found that the clothes he gave Li Chengyuan to wear seemed too light.
His goal was only to make him look ugly, not to freeze him to death.
After all, this person may get a high fever as soon as he caught a cold, and if he became sick again, it would be too troublesome out in this backcountry.
Xia Xingchi had no choice but to turn back and retrieve a very rustic army green padded jacket. He also chose a bright red scarf, still thinking wickedly.
Li Chengyuan took the clothes and put them on good-naturedly.
[Hahahaha thanks to Xia Xingchi for letting us see such a down-to-earth male god]
[Knock CP, knock CP, he can wear whatever his wife chooses]
[Wait, why is he being called the wife? Does that mean it isn’t Xia Yu?]
[I also fucking want to know, the CP fans from Xia Xingchi’s family can really dance, isn’t this just roommates helping each other with clothing?]
[Why didn’t Xia Yu choose them? Why didn’t Li Chengyuan wear the clothes he gave him?]
[It just so happened that Xia Yu didn’t sleep in the room, what is your family fussing about? What’s so amazing about being a roommate?]
[That’s right, it’s great to think about them sleeping in the same bed. Maybe they can cuddle close together when they fall asleep ~ ]
[Don’t be so proud of yourself! Wait for Xiao Yu to slap you in the face!]
[All right, I’ll just sit here today and wait (Li-style Get Lost.gif)]
Although Li Chengyuan’s clothes were the ugliest of the ugly, everyone was actually pretty much alike, to the extent that they laughed at each other upon meeting.
This was especially the case with Li Chengyuan’s red and green. Although his appearance was not compromised in the slightest, the more beautiful he was, the more inconsistent it looked.
Everyone wanted to laugh, but didn’t have the nerve to laugh at him, and holding it in almost caused internal injuries.
Xia Xingchi tilted his head to look at the green radish sprouts on the ground, and then at the cabbages and the greenhouse in the distance.
It was said to be a strawberry shed. If they could complete the mission objective of sowing a field, they could go to pick strawberries.
The thought occurred to him that it was time to feed a certain someone fruit. A person who usually received a fixed amount of fruits and vegetable juice had simply been eating bran and swallowing vegetables these two days.
No one was experiencing life as thoroughly as Li Chengyuan. Perhaps Second Young Master Li, who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, had never experienced such a bleak life.
Pulling radishes was a new job. Xia Xingchi tilted his head to look at the radish sprouts a few times, then confirmed again doubtfully: “There is really a radish under there?”
An Jing nodded: “Really, I saw them being pulled out when I was filming before.”
“But……isn’t the volume of this radish too enviable? I don’t think the radishes bought in the market have this many leaves, ah.”
Any skill that didn’t make money as a part-time job, even the jack-of-all-trades Xia Xingchi wouldn’t do it.
He groped amongst the dense leaves for a long time before he found the part he suspected belonged to the same radish. Then he pulled vigorously, but the radish didn’t move at all and didn’t give him any face.
Xia Xingchi then took off his coat, and seeing that Li Chengyuan had stood aside to stare at him like a big quiet cat again, he casually tossed the clothes to the temporary hanger.
After tossing it, he remembered the act he was performing, which had already mostly collapsed: “Mr. Li, please help me by holding this.”
[Hey hey hey, he’s starting with ‘Mr. Li’ again! Hahahaha stop playing, baby, kick him!]
[What what what? Pricking up gossip ears, newcomers who just arrived don’t understand]
[Hehehe It can only be understood, but cannot be expressed in words]
[The early bird gets the worm, those who get up early get sugar to eat, and whoever kowtows to Yuanchi CP wins]
Clearly full of energy, Xia Xingchi rolled up his sleeves and strode forward. With his feet firmly planted on the ground, he grabbed the thick “hair” of this radish eagerly and adjusted his posture, thinking that he could use it to make soup today.
Li Chengyuan narrowed his eyes slightly as he observed him, and after a moment, silently signaled An Jing to step aside. Then he walked to a position behind Xia Xingchi and stood there calmly.
Xia Xingchi smiled at the camera and said: “The first demonstration of pulling radishes is dedicated to the camera.”
Having spoken, he took a deep breath and then yanked it out extremely hard!
But it seemed that he miscalculated the ability of this radish to grip the ground, or maybe the previous pull had loosened it.
The radish that was motionless just now left the ground without much force, but Xia Xingchi’s center of gravity was thrown off and he immediately hurtled toward the ground.
He didn’t fall into the dirt, however. Instead, the person and radish fell into a solid embrace.
Xia Xingchi was taken aback, then turned to see Li Chengyuan catching him indifferently.
[Hahahaha this is the power of using all of his strength, ba. Too cute, baby]
[Dude, this radish almost turned baby bald]
[He fell into his arms ahhh! It killed me when that pair of eyes looked back! As long as they are in the same frame, there are rainbow bubbles!]
[Right right! Yuanchi is real!]
[Ah, this. Your family has good green tea. Isn’t deliberately falling into the arms of the boss an old trope from ages ago? Is this the Renaissance, you guys?]
[Bullshit! I saw with my own eyes that it was Li Chengyuan who deliberately walked over and waited for Xingchi to fall into his arms!]
[I’m also an eyewitness! He did it on purpose! Mr. Li is so scheming, hehe, he will do anything to distribute sugar]
Xia Xingchi hurriedly got up from Li Chengyuan’s body. It wasn’t good to touch in a public place.
As soon as he got close to him, he couldn’t help but think of the scene where a certain person had no clothes on just now. Immediately afterward, this image seemed to appear before his eyes, and it was easy to imagine the rest of what was not seen.
The two looked at each other, and Xia Xingchi seemed to have vaguely sensed the atmosphere of “Rainbow Bubbles” that everyone was talking about, as if……there was a little bit of ambiguity.
At that moment, he suddenly heard a very unwelcome voice asking with false concern: “Xingchi-ge, are you alright? Be careful not to fall.”
Xia Yu stepped forward, holding in his hands the little tomatoes he had just picked.
It was rare for this green tea to change from being a passive annoyance to an active annoyance. He had unexpectedly stopped for a while when their paths diverged, but now he began to show his presence again.
Xia Xingchi took a look at him, feeling a little displeased with the Rainbow Bubbles being popped by the smell of green tea. As always, he ignored him and turned to leave.
Although every time he gave him the cold-shoulder, there would be a bloody storm in the barrage, Xia Xingchi still insisted on not changing his behavior. The fans casually scolded him:
[How rude! If there wasn’t a screen, I would have rushed up to give Xia Xingchi a slap in the face]
[This Xia Xingchi is so disgusting, he fell into someone else’s fiance’s arms, and our family’s idol came to ask “Are you alright.” I think he deserves to eat plums the most]
[You don’t have enough food to eat, keep it for yourself ba! It’s obvious that Xingchi and Mr. Li are lovers, and someone interrupted without understanding this. You’re still making bogus accusations?]
Xia Xingchi chose a radish farther away, and while pulling it out, he thought that half of his disguise had accidentally fallen away. Why did Xia Yu dare to exploit the opportunity?
If it wasn’t for being mad with jealousy and being driven to desperate action, as a prosperous white lotus, Xia Yu had always cherished his reputation.
Xia Xingchi came to a realization as he finally pulled out a big radish perfectly and smoothly.
The car overturned during the live broadcast today, but the guests couldn’t use their mobile phones at the moment, nor could they watch other people’s live broadcast footage.
So what the hell did yesterday’s funeral trio become today?
Aside from the fact that he, the lowest paid laborer, was really serious about participating in a reality show, what were the other two doing?
One was trying to force him to make an official announcement using various traps, while another was trying to create a fake persona just like his and impersonate him.
As a result, the two routines collided together —
Xia Xingchi couldn’t help but glance back. Xia Yu was completely unaware of Li Chengyuan’s scheming official announcement routine this morning, and was still following his own plan with confidence.
Xia Yu smiled sweetly and said: “Mr. Li, look! The little tomatoes I just picked are so sweet, would you like to try one?”
The organic tomatoes were indeed pretty nice, red and plump, covered in crystal water droplets after being washed.
Li Chengyuan had just calculated the accurate trajectory to catch Xia Xingchi. Clearly in a good mood, he held a rare conversation with Xia Yu:
“Dirty.”
“They’re not dirty, I just washed them.”
Li Chengyuan replied indifferently, not hiding his disgust at all: “Your hands are dirty.”
[Hahahaha the whole family is bursting with laughter, new GIF material is available! (Li Cold-Shoulder.GIF)]
[The other party refused to taste the poisoned green tea and threw out a “gross” emoji]
[What are you saying, upstairs? Why is Xiao Yu green tea? He only kindly gave a tomato, unlike your awesome idol deliberately throwing himself into someone’s arms]
[That’s right, he’s awesome. Even if it’s all green tea, at least Xingchi is not disliked, not to mention that the small tricks between couples add to the fun]
[Hahahaha what a dirty hand. Mr. Li’s eyes were disgusted as if he were looking at a virus. Can your family still knock CP hard?]
[This is called avoiding suspicion! The more real a couple is, the more they must avoid suspicion. Wait for the reversal and be slapped in the face!]
[Plum Wholesaler: Thank you Xia Yu fans for helping me improve my sales performance. I ask you every day, are you okay?]
Picking vegetables was not a particularly difficult task, nor was it very tiring. It could be said to be a very friendly novice village task.
The rustic sunshade straw hat that Xia Xingchi chose for Li Chengyuan didn’t help much, as the weather had turned gloomy as soon as they went out, and it seemed that it was about to rain.
Xia Xingchi looked at the field waiting to be sown and the area where strawberries could be picked afterward, and thought helplessly that he would not be able to let his big golden cat eat fruit today. Speak of the devil, and the mountain rain would really come.
Fortunately, little tomatoes were assigned to the column of “vegetables” by the program team, so they could quickly pick some to act as fruit.
Li Xiu was also crouching on the ground to pick tomatoes. Seeing Xia Xingchi approaching, he chatted: “I predict it’s —”
Before he could finish speaking, a drop of rain suddenly fell on the tip of his nose.
“……I predict it’s going to rain.”
Xia Xingchi hastened to pick more before the rain became any heavier, and at the same time laughed: “Then Great Immortal Li’s predictions are quite accurate?”
This rain was not at all a good thing. Li Chengyuan couldn’t be fed strawberries, and the barbecue night was ruined.
As a little glutton who loved to eat barbecue, Xia Xingchi had already planned countless simple and delicious ways to handle the barbecue, but hadn’t expected the heavens to be so unfavorable.
Finally, after rescuing enough vegetables for these two days, the rain became heavier and the group had to retreat indoors quickly.
The division of labor for lunch preparation was still Xia Xingchi cooking and Li Chengyuan helping to light the fire.
As soon as Xia Xingchi entered the door, he stared at the hidden camera hanging in the air a few times, then turned his head to look at Li Chengyuan and considered the possibility of throttling him to death.
“Mr. Li, do you think these peppers look good?” Xia Xingchi plucked a bunch of bright red peppers from the window.
And put them all in the pot.
Li Chengyuan said lightly: “Yes.”
Xia Xingchi hummed softly when he heard this, because he felt for no reason that the subtext was saying, “I’ll eat whatever you want, as long as you don’t feel bad.”
However, considering that the big villain would never say such things, he could only chalk it up to him overthinking. He hung up the chili peppers and started cooking.
In <> most of the program was arranged outdoors. After all, there was not much rain here in late autumn. Clearly, the program team did not expect such rain that was not in the weather forecast.
Just in time for the afternoon free period, Xia Xingchi decided to stage a workers’ strike. He could no longer do everything according to someone else’s wishes and be completely sandwiched into a layer cake by his routine.
When he suddenly looked at Li Chengyuan casually, Li Chengyuan guessed that he was going to do something good.
Sure enough, Xia Xingchi promptly said: “Director, are there no more rooms, ah? Mr. Li and I shared a room……and I didn’t sleep very well.”
Temporarily borrowing the tea art of a green tea spirit, Xia Xingchi deliberately made his tone convey that “didn’t sleep well” was just an excuse, as if he was troubled by rumors on the internet and wanted to actively avoid suspicion.
The Director immediately got his meaning. The signal connection was successful.
But the CP fans completely went in the direction of misunderstanding, and instantly became excited:
[Oh oh oh! Didn’t ♂ sleep well. Pass it on, Mr. Li is so capable that Xingchi has to sleep in a separate room!]
[Of course life in the countryside requires hard work hehehe. No wonder Xia Xingchi’s eyes were red in the morning, he must have been crying]
[Whose pants flew over my head! Where are my pants?]
[Hehehe look at Mr. Li’s expression, his face turned black after hearing this]
As soon as the Director heard this request, he immediately planned to say that there was no problem.
After all, during the two days of cohabitation, they saw that Li Chengyuan was very obedient to Xia Xingchi, who obviously had the final say. Subsequently, they at once thought that this request fully represented the wishes of the boss.
At this time, Xia Yu suddenly said: “Xingchi-ge, why don’t we switch? I have a single room, and the environment is pretty good.”
There was no dirty meaning behind these words. It was like Li Xiu and Han Yuanhe sleeping together in the same bed, full of the innocence of “what’s wrong with men sharing a room.”
Xia Xingchi was taken aback, and his first reaction was, ‘Big teapot, you should really watch this morning’s broadcast, times have changed due to a certain person’s tricks.’
And only a fool would be so generous as to allow you to stroke my big cat in the middle of the night.
Li Chengyuan, who had always been silent like background scenery, spoke up calmly: “I can’t sleep with someone next to me.”
Everyone: ?
Then why did you proactively get a room with Xia Xingchi yesterday? And now you want to sleep alone?
Because the program team was quicker than their brains to agree to Xia Xingchi’s proposal as soon as they heard it, it was too late once they figured out that the always obedient big brother had a disagreement with his little fiance on this matter.
Under Li Chengyuan’s gloomy gaze, Xia Xingchi ended up with an exclusive private room across the hall from him.
The only problem was that the two rooms were too close, and he was very worried that someone would perform the horrible act of sitting by his bed and watching him in the middle of the night again.
Xia Xingchi didn’t say much in front of the camera, and when it was time to go back to his room, he told Li Chengyuan in a joking manner:
“Mr. Li, sleep well. Good night.”
Even with these arrangements, he didn’t feel at ease and couldn’t fully believe the villain’s morality in this regard. What’s more, Li Chengyuan was cold and silent the whole time and didn’t agree at all.
[Is Mr. Li angry? What happened?]
[How can you tell? He doesn’t seem to have any expression]
[He didn’t talk at all, and he isn’t smiling anymore. Sisters, if you look carefully, he can actually smile……but he has been staring at Xia Xingchi coldly.]
[Did that jerk offend him? Great, when will he be kicked out, ah!]
[Laughing to death, didn’t you watch the live broadcast before brainlessly praising your idol? I have to let you down, in fact, Mr. Li is angry because he didn’t sleep with his wife]
[Hahahaha I think so too, Mr. Li can’t stick to his wife, so depressing]
. . . . . .
In order to prevent a certain person from recreating a horror movie in the middle of the night, Xia Xingchi quickly locked the door behind him as soon as he entered the room.
It was still raining outside the window at this time, and the downpour was getting heavier and heavier. Such deep mountains and cold forests were quite suitable for a number of horrors, such as the silent appearance of the villain in the middle of the night.
At last, there was no camera in the bedroom. Xia Xingchi heaved a sigh of relief and was finally able to take out his phone to check out what was happening on Weibo.
Sure enough, the pool of suspects for “Mrs. Li” had shrunk until it was basically only Xia Yu and himself left.
Xia Xingchi was leaning more and more toward murdering his fiance. If it wasn’t for this bastard’s various routines and blatant actions, he would not have appeared in the suspect pool at all. Who would have thought that the idol himself would personally show fans which way the wind was blowing.
As for the sources of the wind direction on Xia Yu’s side, one was the brainwashing articles of the water armies and various marketing accounts, and the second was the “real evidence.”
No wonder Xia Yu’s fans were able to stand firm against Li Chengyuan’s obviously bad attitude. Xia Xingchi flipped through the so-called “evidence” and found that even more photos had leaked.
They were obviously not taken on the same day, and the clothes were also different. Xia Xingchi zoomed in to take a closer look at the man in the blurry candid shots, only to find that he was really quite similar to Li Chengyuan.
Although the fans couldn’t tell the difference, he thought it was too suspicious.
Sherlock Holmeses from all walks of life had also identified that there was no trace of photoshopping in the photos……how did Xia Yu find such a person?
Xia Xingchi turned over. At the moment, the rain outside was getting heavier and knocking against the window.
This made him doubt whether the dilapidated house could keep out the huge raindrops.
In the end, Li Chengyuan was quite handsome, almost at the pinnacle of good looks. It was difficult to find someone who looked that good, not to mention someone with such high similarity to him.
Incredibly bright lightning flashed across the sky just then. It was dazzling and terrifying, as if it could pierce into this flimsy house.
At the same time, a thought flashed in Xia Xingchi’s mind – that person was Li Shengrui!
Xia Yu actually met the gong protagonist of the book earlier than in the original plot? Would Li Chengyuan……
Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering “Boom!”
It was completely different from the usual rolling thunder, deafening, as if it would pass through the window or even split the whole house in the next second……like the day he died.
Xia Xingchi immediately went stiff all over, and all the thoughts in his mind disappeared.
He trembled uncontrollably for a moment, as if the lightning had struck him again. With that loud noise, many details that had been repressed out of self-defense resurfaced:
The instant he was struck, it seemed that his internal organs were being burned at a high temperature, and even in a trance, there was a smell of roasted meat as he twitched uncontrollably in sheer agony.
Of course Xia Xingchi didn’t want to recall the moment of his death, but as the raindrops fell, the thunder seemed to split through the subconsciously buried memories in his head.
Another bolt of lightning flashed across, as if directly penetrating through the window and smashing into the rustic cabin.
Xia Xingchi curled up in bed at once and trembled as he covered his ears.
This obviously couldn’t muffle the thunderous boom, followed by another earth shattering bang!
The pain of his death forcibly replayed itself over and over again. Xia Xingchi trembled unceasingly all over, blindly fearing that he would be hit hard and his head would be split……
He hid stiffly under the blanket for a long time without hearing another thunderclap. It was only then that he finally regained his sanity and tried to assure himself that objectively speaking, he wouldn’t really be struck by lightning.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his eyes and peered out cautiously from the bedding, God seemed to be deliberately against him. The moment he stuck out his head, the dark room suddenly became bright!
There was an unprecedentedly huge flash of lightning!
Following behind must be earth-shattering thunder!
Xia Xingchi never thought that biological instinct truly had such explosive power —
He actually used the short time difference between the speed of light and the speed of sound to jump up from the bed like a spring!
Almost faster than lightning, he yanked the lock and opened the door, and then rushed all the way into the opposite room!
When he came back to his senses, he had already buried himself in another bed, instinctively burrowing into a warm embrace.
