Dressed as a scumbag ex-boyfriend

Chapter 49 Don't be afraid

Xia Cheng froze for a moment, seeing Zheng Ke speechless, the person opposite him returned to his seat as usual, and watched Xia Cheng's reaction.

Just dazed for a while, Xia Cheng frowned and got up, he was already used to a strong attitude in dealing with Zheng Ke's problems.

"No matter what you think, don't do this kind of thing again in the future." His back tightened and he was about to go out. Although his tone was very firm, in fact, he felt very emboldened at that moment. Now Zheng Ke is not so good anymore Deal with it, after this person has the ability, he will definitely no longer be the obedient and obedient little brother he used to be.

"I've thought about it for a long time and I don't know how to repay you for taking care of you for so long." Sure enough, as soon as Xia Cheng stood up, he heard a voice from behind, and the sound of approaching gradually seemed to hit his heart.

Zheng Ke circled him from behind, Xia Cheng was dragged back before he could take a full step, and was tightly locked in his arms.

"That's why I came up with this method, I thought you would like it."

Xia Cheng struggled hard, he looked back at Zheng Ke's face: "As long as you think about my relationship with Wei Xingxiu, you shouldn't think that I will be happy."

When Wei Xingxiu was mentioned, Zheng Ke's tone was completely different, and he also looked at Xia Cheng seriously:

"It must have been impossible to get together with Wei Xingxiu back then. You didn't dare to break up because you were afraid of him?"

Zheng Ke stared at Xia Cheng's face with cat-like eyes: "Wei Xingxiu said that you took advantage of my kindness for saving him once to coerce him to be with you."

"He also said that you are kind to me, but you are afraid of my revenge and want to continue to use me."

As soon as Zheng Ke's words came out of his mouth, Xia Cheng was completely cold.

This man knows everything.

He really didn't dare to think about when Zheng Ke learned the truth, and what kind of mood he used to follow him all the time. Saw a little smile.

He seemed satisfied with Xia Cheng's reaction: "Is it true?"

Zheng Ke tilted his head: "Although what Wei Xingxiu said is well-founded, but after getting along for so long, I still feel that my brother likes me a little more. In fact, Wei Xingxiu doesn't want to break up, right? You were coerced by him?"

Xia Cheng shook his head, he instinctively felt that he should not continue to follow Zheng Ke's wishes on this matter and said: "No, he didn't coerce me..."

"I will help you." Zheng Ke interrupted him directly, completely ignoring Xia Cheng's words: "Brother wants to leave him, I will help you leave soon."

He stroked Xia Cheng's hair lightly: "I am no longer the powerless Zheng Ke. Don't be afraid, come to me. I will teach Wei Xingxiu a lesson for you."

The toughness in his attitude made Xia Cheng feel in a trance that this is the serious coercion. After rehearsing the scene after the truth is discovered countless times, Xia Cheng always feels that the best result is to end the lie. Zheng Ke can keep him. One life, and Wei Xingxiu can also take into account the previous relationship, so that he can continue to live a good life.

He doesn't want to continue cheating anymore, this is his best chance to end everything.

"It's not like that, Zheng Ke, brother is sorry for you, I feel very regretful after I finished the matter, but what Wei Xingxiu said is true, I have a disturbed conscience, that's why I went back to see you..."

"I don't want to hear it anymore." Zheng Ke interrupted him again and dragged Xia Cheng out. Apart from the answer he gave himself, he didn't want to accept anything else at all, and he didn't want to follow Xia Cheng's expectation to pass this matter on. The matter ended with Xia Cheng's mistake.

He wants to do what he wants.

In the following variety shows, Zheng Ke didn't show the attitude just now at all, he still looks like a good-natured younger brother, so that Xia Cheng felt for a moment that he had never really understood Zheng Ke. It's normal, it's too nonchalant, Zheng Ke is more patient than he imagined, and he is also better at acting.

There must be a way.

Xia Cheng has no idea what his ending will be, but he will not completely resign himself to fate.

Three days later, news of the collapse of the Zheng family and the arrest of Zheng Yiwei appeared on the news.

Xia Cheng couldn't understand the complex financial case. In the news, Zheng Yiwei was no longer what he used to be. He was ten years older, and he was escorted to face the camera with fear and anger on his face.

It was clearly a happy ending, but Xia Cheng couldn't be happy at all.

In the evening, I received a call from Wei Xingxiu. It sounded that things were going smoothly. Wei Xingxiu should have read the news, chatted with Xia Cheng, and suddenly mentioned Zheng Ke's matter. His concern was just right.

"Did Zheng Ke make things difficult for you?"

Xia Cheng thought of what happened a few days ago, and stopped for a while. After Zheng Ke said those words that day, he didn't continue to look for him, but Xia Cheng felt that this matter would happen sooner or later. Since this person already knew the truth, it would be sooner or later. Those who want to settle accounts with him are only dealing with Zheng Yiwei's affairs these days, and he doesn't have time yet.

He didn't dare to take action before, maybe he just didn't have the ability, but now it's different, Zheng Yiwei is finished, Zheng Ke is the heir of the Zheng family, according to the original book, he will soon have real power, empty the entire Zheng family, and build a Come with your own power.

Wei Xingxiu's words obviously already knew Zheng Ke's hostility towards him. He comforted Xia Cheng: "If he makes things difficult for you, just tell me."

Xia Cheng's heart warmed for no reason. Wei Xingxiu always gave him a feeling of standing beside him. This person didn't know that he came through a book from the beginning to the end. From Wei Xingxiu's perspective, he was obviously He has done bad things, and now he is about to be retaliated against. It's just his own fault, but he is still helping him unconditionally.

Regardless of whether this sincerity is true or not, Xia Cheng felt very grateful, and his heart turned a thousand times, but his voice sounded normal: "No, Zheng Ke is still the same as before, and he is planning to ask me out for dinner recently."

Wei Xingxiu didn't sound relaxed, he didn't know if he believed Xia Cheng's well-intentioned lie: "Let's talk about it after a while, don't go out with him for now, the matter of the Zheng family hasn't settled yet, he's easy Being retaliated against is very dangerous."

Xia Cheng snorted, Wei Xingxiu told himself everything he knew without reservation, but Xia Cheng couldn't treat Wei Xingxiu equally.

What Zheng Ke said that day was very clear, he was not only planning to take revenge on himself, but also planning to deal with Wei Xingxiu.

Xia Cheng didn't want to implicate Wei Xingxiu. If he had to choose between using Wei Xingxiu to avoid Zheng Ke or leaving by himself, he would still choose to leave. The former had too many worries.

It's all over.

The day before the shooting of the variety show, Tian Yi contacted Xia Cheng. Everything that the program crew might encounter had been prepared. Xia Cheng only needed to perform normally tomorrow. Besides Tian Yi, Mo Jizhou also gave the Xia Cheng called.

"Who are you going with tomorrow?" His voice sounded muffled. For some unknown reason, he could feel his bad mood through the microphone.

Compared with Zheng Ke, Xia Cheng suddenly felt that a real stupid brother like Mo Jizhou was precious recently, and said lightly: "I am alone, do you want to go together? I will pick you up."

"Do you still live where you were?"

It sounded as if this person still remembered his address, Mo Jizhou couldn't help feeling warm in his heart, and even softened his usual arrogant tone: "I didn't mean that, I just saw you as a pity That's all. I moved recently, and I will send you the address later."

Xia Cheng responded, guessing that Mo Jizhou should have been kicked out by his father, he thought about it, and when he met Mo Jizhou the next day, he brought some daily necessities for him, and this man just now When he moved out, many things were not fully prepared, and he was distressed because of these trivial matters, but Xia Cheng's arrival easily helped him solve his urgent needs.

When letting people into the house, Mo Jizhou was obviously a little embarrassed. There was no one in his new home. Because he was angry with his father, he didn't even invite housekeeping. He cleaned up by himself from the beginning to the end, although there was barely room for people to sit. , but in fact, most of them have not been tidied up, and they are piled on the ground in a mess.

Xia Cheng didn't show any ridicule or surprise. He was like a big brother who came to visit his younger brother. He helped clean up with a good temper, and the extent was only in a small area of ​​the living room. He brought a lot of cardboard boxes and storage boxes on the way here. , At this time, they are all in use. Xia Cheng chatted and sorted out a small part of the things. He demonstrated to Mo Jizhou to let him know what to do.

Attitude doesn't make people feel obnoxious.

No matter what Xia Cheng was doing during this period, Mo Jizhou stood at the kitchen door with his hands behind his back, as if he was hiding something on purpose.

Xia Cheng thought he was strange, pretended to glance into the kitchen inadvertently, and immediately noticed something wrong.

It was pitch black inside, and I don't know what was burnt, which made the originally harmonious newly renovated house look like it had gone through a war.

"Have you cooked?" He didn't directly say that he noticed something was wrong, but said: "It seems to smell very fragrant food in the room."

These words are absolutely against my will, not to mention the smell of food in the room, there is only a faint smell of burnt paste, it should be opened through the window and the wind let the smell a little lighter, but it can still be smelled.

Xia Cheng said this to save face for Mo Jizhou, and the man finally took a few steps outside and sat in the same space as Xia Cheng: "You are hungry, huh, or the little girl downstairs The smell of the restaurant is wafting up."

"Then let's go out to eat." As soon as Xia Cheng suggested it, he saw Mo Jizhou hesitate. He wandered around twice, and suddenly went to the refrigerator to take out two plates, put them on the table where Xia Cheng was sitting, and then First I went to get a bowl: "Are you going out to eat? I'll have this for lunch."

Mo Jizhou started to prepare the meals last night. He wanted to cook for Xia Cheng himself, but he did not expect to make a mess in the end. After several attempts, he put the final product in the refrigerator. Before Xia Cheng came He also reminded himself countless times that he must let him eat the dishes he cooked for a while, but when this person really arrived, Mo Jizhou couldn't even say the invitation, and only said that he would eat this at noon.

He was hanging his head, but he heard the clear voice of the person beside him.

"Can I eat with you?"

Xia Cheng really regretted it.

Regret that I was soft-hearted and had dinner with Mo Jizhou.

Although the taste of the food was not to the point of death, but he only persisted until the shooting scene of the variety show, and then he started to have a stomachache. He didn't know if the food was undercooked or something extraordinary was added. If it wasn't for Mo Jizhou, he would also have appeared With the same symptoms, Xia Cheng even felt that this man deliberately drugged himself to make fun of others.

The child was aggrieved and sat in the resting area provided by the program group for the guests, half of his face was covered by the loose sweater, and he was a little decadent.

Xia Cheng didn't want to say harsh words either. Mo Jizhou has always been very sensitive and fragile. He didn't want to irritate Mo Jizhou again. He ran back and forth to the toilet a few times. The staff of the camera team noticed something was wrong with him and came to ask. Xia Cheng told the truth that he ate something bad.

So half an hour later, he saw Jing Congdao, the cameraman on the day of the interview, again.

In fact, in the original book, Jing Congdao and Zheng Ke teamed up to bring down Zheng Yiwei. According to the normal timeline, he should have become a big entrepreneur by now. Zheng Yiwei was dealt with a little earlier, even without Jing Congdao's help.

In a way, it's a bit off the plot.

What happened in the last interview made him have a good impression of Xia Cheng, and he kept smirking in front of Xia Cheng: "Eat more before taking medicine."

Xia Cheng nodded to him with a smile, said thank you, and then picked it up to read the instructions of the medicine, which is for enteritis.

He really didn't expect that someone could even get this little thing wrong, so he couldn't laugh or cry.

Jing Congdao saw that Xia Cheng had a strange expression on his face, and he didn't take the medicine. He kept holding it in his hand and chatting with him. Then he picked it up and looked at it, and found that he had made a mistake with the medicine.

The uncle was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do. He looked at Xia Cheng in embarrassment and a little fear. If his boss found out about this, he would definitely not let him go.

Xia Cheng patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay, I'll hold on for a while, and go down to buy it by myself at noon. Let's not talk about it, no one else will know."

The uncle didn't know what to say, he looked at Xia Cheng gratefully for a while, and thanked him repeatedly.

The first day of variety show recording chose a decryption game that the guests are more familiar with, the escape room.

Before coming here, Xia Cheng also knew that there would be a similar session, so he had already made preparations with his agent in advance, and went out to play this type of game several times.

However, he didn't expect that the escape room on the variety show set was different from the one he participated in before he came to shoot, and the one here was a little more complicated.

Before the filming started, there was a card drawing session. In addition to deciphering the cause of death of the corpse in the secret room, there was also a murderer card. The guest who drew the murderer card had to hide the fact that he had killed himself, and at the same time guide the crime to other guests.

It also reminds that there are many hidden rules that have not been disclosed, and players need to discover them by themselves.

In order to create an atmosphere, the program team arranged a more atmospheric room. The lights were not turned on in the room, only a few candles were lit, and it was dim.

Xia Cheng first took his own card and began to observe other people at the same time.

He carefully analyzed the rules of the game several times. He only said that there would be murderer cards, but he didn't say how many murderers there were. The first time he took the cards, he deliberately showed a little complacency, and his eyes were drawn on the faces of other people. After a lap.

Under the dim light, the expressions of the other five people were all different.

Not long after, Mo Jizhou approached Xia Cheng: "What identity did you get drawn?"

"He's a good guy." Xia Cheng held the corner of the card in his hand, gave Mo Jizhou a look, and then pushed Mo Jizhou away a little: "Has everyone finished drawing? Is there anything strange? The murderer's expression will definitely be different." Same."

He stretched his neck to look into the crowd, so Mo Jizhou also followed his line of sight. After Xia Cheng said this, he also subconsciously felt that something was wrong in the crowd. Besides them, there were four guests, two The older ones, as well as a man and a woman are newcomers, and these two are also chatting. There are six people in total, and they are automatically divided into three groups.

Xia Cheng analyzed the program group's criteria for finding candidates. Since they will be selected, they must have their own advantages. The two young people are very good-looking, and they can be regarded as top-notch among all the interviewees. The reason why they chose the two For the older guests, Xia Cheng felt that it was possible that they had taken a fancy to their calculations and cleverness.

The analysis is almost finished, Xia Cheng is next to Mo Jizhou, showing his image of the game Xiaobai to the fullest: "Do you have any experience? This is the first time I have participated in this kind of game. Where can I find the clues? I'm so nervous .”

It was the first time someone relied on him like this, and he was still in the field of games that he was best at. Mo Jizhou was inexplicably comfortable, and he unconsciously pulled Xia Cheng's wrist:

"You just follow me, there will be absolutely no problem, I am very good at decrypting games."

Several people were talking, the door of the secret room opened slowly, and the air-conditioning inside came out, Xia Cheng took a step back in an instant: "It's so dark, there won't be a haunted house here, right?"

"The deciphering is usually in the nature of a haunted house." After Mo Jizhou finished explaining, he saw Xia Cheng hesitated to take a step. This image fell into the eyes of other guests, and the older man sighed In a low voice, he whispered: "This is a vase, the program team asked him to be a mascot?"

The woman in her fifties next to her shook her head: "It can't be helped, some newcomers are always needed to support the appearance, I understand."

The middle-aged man laughed: "Such a small character usually comes here for a cutscene in the game. Let's go over and test it out later, and then we will know who we are."

The woman nodded.

The first room to search for clues is in the bathroom, a simulated murder case, the place where the corpse appeared, there are many dark red bloodstains on the ground, the whole space reveals a sense of dilapidation, the corpse in the bathtub is played by a living person, the makeup The painting is too realistic. There is a clear wound on the neck, and even the bones inside are drawn. From a distance, it is no different from a real corpse.

Xia Cheng and the young female guest screamed in fright at the same time.

The two elders in front had already started looking for clues. They were startled by the voice, and a little impatient. At the same time, they sneered and gave Xia Cheng a sidelong glance.

Mo Jizhou held Xia Cheng's hand tightly: "It's okay, don't be afraid, I can beat ghosts away when they come."

Xia Cheng inexplicably found Mo Jizhou's appearance a bit funny, which reminded him of a primary school student carrying a schoolbag, wearing a little red riding hood and saying that he wanted to protect his mother.

With timid eyes, he looked around carefully. It was obvious that it was a murder in the bathroom, which meant that the bathroom might have the most traces left by the murderer, and the corpse might have the clues he needed.

But Xia Cheng just showed a look of fear. If he approached the corpse rashly now, it would seem that his character would be destroyed.

He looked around, but unexpectedly found that the young girl who screamed with him before approached the corpse first, and she skillfully pulled out something from the wound of the corpse.

Xia Cheng raised his eyebrows.
