Source of Calamity CH 049 How Will You Compensate?

3 Comments

The temperature in the study room was not high, but Shen Zhen still felt like he was being roasted on the fire. Every minute was torture. His cheeks were getting redder, and the tip of his nose was full of Qin Xing’s scent, Qin Xing’s breathing filled his ears, and he could even feel his heart beating faster and faster.

This was not a good sign.

Qin Xing’s voice was low and ambiguous, and the hot air he exhaled was like scalding flames when he spoke. His chin rested on the top of Shen Zhen’s head, and with one arm around Shen Zhen’s shoulder, he whispered: “Uncle will always pay attention to those who make Xiao Zhen sad.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Shen Zhen felt like he was drunk at this time, and he even felt a little dizzy.

“Xiao Zhen wronged Uncle.” Qin Xing suddenly grabbed Shen Zhen’s hand. Qin Xing’s palm was dry and warm, but Shen Zhen’s hand was pale and cold. When Qin Xing held his hand, Shen Zhen couldn’t help but to take a deep breath.

Everyone yearned for warmth, but warmth was never within reach.

Qin Xing smiled lowly: “How will you compensate?”

Shen Zhen raised his head and looked at Qin Xing’s eyes in a daze. There were deeper things in them that Shen Zhen couldn’t understand. His ability to reason was like a broken clock, which finally stopped at this moment.

Unknowingly, Qin Xing came closer and closer, but Shen Zhen didn’t move at all. It was as if someone had cast a fixing spell on him, and even his fingers wouldn’t listen to his commands.

Until a warm feeling landed on Shen Zhen’s cheek, and intantly Shen Zhen burned into a ball of fire.

He could feel the temperature of Qin Xing’s lips, which were different from his palms. Qin Xing’s lips were slightly cool. The kiss was understated like a gust of wind blowing gently, but at the same time it was so obvious that Shen Zhen could even outline the shape of Qin Xing’s lips.

Qin Xing’s lips were thin, but well-shaped. Shen Zhen froze in Qin Xing’s arms, motionless, like a puppet.

“I, I, I’ll go back to rest first.” Suddenly Shen Zhen broke free from Qin Xing’s embrace, he stood up, stared at the floor at a loss and then quickly left the study after leaving these words behind.

The moment he closed the study door, Shen Zhen felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

It shouldn’t, it shouldn’t be like this, and it shouldn’t have happened.

If…..If Qin Xing was interested in him, then what about in his previous life?

Even if he made different choices in his previous life than in this life, his soul was the same, so what was the difference?

Or was it a moment of impulse from Qin Xing?

Shen Zhen felt that his brain was in a state of confusion, and he urgently needed to be alone to think quietly.

When he got on the motorcycle, the temperature on Shen Zhen’s face had dropped, and he looked paler than before.

He felt fear, hesitation and confusion, each emotion unsettling him.

Qin Xing was still sitting on the sofa. He didn’t make any move, and he didn’t chase after Shen Zhen. He still had a smile on his face, licking his lips lightly with the tip of his tongue. He seemed to be at ease and not worried at all.

Looking at the direction where Shen Zhen left, Qin Xing smiled lightly and said, “I’ve been waiting for so many years, so how could I not even have this patience?”

All the memories of the past were slowly recovering.

After returning home, Shen Zhen soaked himself in the tub, his cold skin warmed up, and his stiff limbs gradually stretched out.

Mama Zhang was not at home, probably having gone to pick up her son. Shen Zhen submerged the lower half of his face underwater, thinking calmly.

Perhaps it was a kiss from an elder to a younger generation. After all, the kiss was on the cheek, not the lips, so it shouldn’t have too much meaning.

But Shen Zhen knew that he was decieving himself.

He looked at his hand, which seemed to still have Qin Xing’s body temperature.

Shen Zhen raised his head and looked at the chandelier above his head. Qin Xing was gentle and considerate, powerful and aggressive. Anyone with a sexual orientation towards males would be attracted to him, but this should not include himself.

Shen Zhen had suffered enough emotional losses.

In his previous life, he couldn’t even handle Qin Yue, let alone Qin Xing.

Shen Zhen stepped out of the bathtub and took the towel beside him to wipe off the water drops on his body. Feelings were unreliable, only power was reliable. If he was always weak, then it would be no different from his previous life. Qin Yue could betray him, and so could Qin Xing, but he could do nothing but resent.

Only when you become stronger could you control your own life, and when the other party wanted to leave, you could use reality to let them understand the price of leaving you.

If one day, he would really be with Qin Xing.

That must also be when he had the ability to control his own future.

Not now.

After putting on the bathrobe, Shen Zhen stepped out of the bathroom, but the front door opened just at this moment, and Mama Zhang led a young man inside.

Shen Zhen’s hair was still wet, and it was combed by Shen Zhen to the back of his head, revealing his facial features and forehead. The bathrobe was gaping slightly open, and Shen Zhen’s chest was in contact with the air. He was 1.8 meters tall, thin and long-legged. At this moment, he was looking at Mama Zhang and her son.

Mama Zhang said somewhat restrainedly: “Young Master Shen, this is my son, Han Lang.”

She tugged on her son’s clothes: “Xiao Lang, say hello.”

Han Lang, who had just entered college, was wearing a baseball uniform. He was about 1.88 meters tall, with a strong figure, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was a handsome young man, like a young oxen, sunny and outgoing.

Han Lang greeted somewhat reluctantly: “Young Master Shen.”

Then he muttered in a low voice: “What era is it now, this appellant is still the same as in the old society.”

Mama Zhang smiled awkwardly at Shen Zhen.

Shen Zhen didn’t care too much: “Just call me Brother Shen.”

This time Han Lang was very decisive: “Brother Shen.”

“I’m going back to my room to rest first.” Shen Zhen said to Mama Zhang, “I’ll get up at six tomorrow morning.”

Mama Zhang quickly responded.

After Shen Zhen returned to his room, Mama Zhang said to Han Lang: “Sit down for a while, Mama will make you a snack.”

Han Lang sat on the sofa and felt a little uncomfortable. Unlike Mama Zhang who had been staying in the Qin family, Han Lang lived in other people’s homes since he was a child. Other than reaching out to his wife for money, his dad did not know anything else, nor did he care about his son.

Both his grandpa and grandma lived in the countryside. When he was a child, he lived with his grandparents. When he grew up, he went to the city and lived in other people’s homes.

Living with a host family meant living under someone else’s roof. He only dared to look at the toys that other people’s children have, but dare not say that he wanted it as well.

Other people’s children have pocket money, but he never got any from his uncles and aunts——they all said his family only gave them living expenses.

This situation lasted until the end of the college entrance examination, and he got into the best university in the province, and only then did he leave his host family.

Then his mom appeared.

Although Han Lang didn’t hate his own mother, if one wanted to talk about being close, he couldn’t really say so without lying to himself.

But he knew that his mother was more reliable than his father.

“Let’s eat wonton.” Mama Zhang said, “There are some in the refrigerator. I’ll make you twenty?”

Han Lang swallowed, “Okay.”

He looked at this apartment. This apartment was like one that only rich people live in in TV dramas. With huge floor-to-ceiling windows, one could see the night view of the entire city. The interior decoration was full of a modern air, simple and elegant, and so clean as if no one lived here. Even the sofa under his buttocks was incredibly soft.

While eating wonton, Han Lang asked Mama Zhang: “Mom, me living here, Brother Shen really has no objection?”

Mama Zhang said while washing the pot, “Young Master Shen is a very good person, he was the one to ask me to bring you over.”

Mama Zhang had a smile on her face.

Although she called him Young Master Shen, in her heart, she regarded Shen Zhen as her own child.

“Why?” Han Lang asked strangely.

 Mama Zhang smiled and didn’t speak.

Because in Young Master Shen’s heart, she, a servant, actually occupied a place.

Many relationships depend on the accumulation of time, and people’s feelings are always mutual.

Mama Zhang said: “That’s your room, I’ve made up the bed for you, and I’ll accompany you to school tomorrow to arrange your commuter student status.”

Han Lang nodded: “Okay.”

He also wanted to live with his own mother. He had never lived with his mother before, so he didn’t know what it was like to be with one’s mother.

At six o’clock the next morning, Shen Zhen was woken up by the alarm clock. He didn’t sleep well all night. He tossed and turned on the bed, thinking about Qin Xing. When he closed his eyes, he could only see Qin Xing’s face. He didn’t fall asleep until three or four in the morning. But now being woken up by the alarm clock, Shen Zhen couldn’t fall asleep again.

“Young Master Shen, it’s time to eat.” Mama Zhang’s voice came from outside the door.

Shen Zhen: “Coming.”

He put on his pajamas, went to the bathroom to wash up, and then walked to the living room. Han Lang was already sitting at the dining table, and Mama Zhang was carrying over dishes from the kitchen.

The breakfast was peanut porridge with deep-fried dough sticks and steamed buns, all made by Mama Zhang herself, clean and hygienic, and delicious.

Shen Zhen didn’t have the energy to talk to Han Lang yesterday, and now that his mood had stabilized, he asked, “When did Xiao Lang come to the city?”

Han Lang quickly replied, “In August, I came early before school starts.”

Shen Zhen: “What is your major?”

Han Lang said with some embarrassment: “Software engineering, I want to make games in the future.”

The game industry was a rising industry. It had risen rapidly in recent years, but there were actually not many games released in China. The largest number of registrations and popularity belonged to a few leading foreign companies, which almost monopolize half of the global market.

Most of the domestic game companies were small businesses, and very few could make it to the top.

Those who could develop their market abroad were even pitifully less.

Shen Zhen said to Han Lang, “Not bad, it has a bright future.”

Han Lang grinned.

When he applied for this major, the relatives around him persuaded him to go to a teaching school, and then be a teacher in the future, as this job would be relatively stable, or he could take the civil service exam after graduation and get a guaranteed government job. Many people had prejudice against the game industry.

When Han Lang told Mama Zhang, he thought that Mama Zhang would also scold him, but Mama Zhang said, “Ah…..I don’t understand this, I’ll ask Young Master Shen.”

She didn’t understand, so she asked, but for many people even if they didn’t understand, they could say straightforwardly: “This kind of industry is not anything proper, and playing games is to negatively influence other people’s children, and you will meet with bad luck in the future.”

“Brother Shen.” Han Lang asked cautiously, “What do you think of the game industry? That is…..will it have a bad influence on children?”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Shen Zhen looked at Han Lang strangely: “Anything can be bad, if you don’t know restraint and control. For example, you will get obese if you eat too much meat.”

Han Lang slapped his thigh with his hand and exclaimed: “Brother Shen is right.”

Shen Zhen: “…..” Why so excited? Wasn’t this the truth that everyone knew?

After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn

After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn CH 290 Honeymoon & Work

1 Comment

On the day after the engagement ceremony, Tao Mu woke up with a splitting headache in the sun-drenched bed. Tao Mu squinted his eyes, and subconsciously stretched his arms to the side——the other side of the bed was empty but still with a residual warmth.

The sound of sizzling fried eggs accompanied by the aroma of hot milk slipped in through the crack of the door. Tao Mu took a deep breath, got up from the bed, took a shower first, and then walked into the kitchen trailing the fresh scent of shower gel.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

In the warm and bright sunshine that flowed in through the windows, Li Xiaoheng, wearing home clothes and an apron, was standing in front of the island, mixing fruit salad. Seeing Tao Mu come in, he plucked a cherry tomato and brought it to Tao Mu’s lips. Tao Mu accepted Li Xiaoheng’s feeding with half-lidded eyes, and teased with a smile: “Is our CEO Li such a virtuous wife?”

Li Xiaoheng chuckled lightly when he heard the words, leaned forward and kissed Tao Mu’s cheek lightly, and said with a smile, “Happy wedding.”

Tao Mu was taken aback for a moment, then corrected with a smile, “It’s “happy engagement”.”

“It’s all the same.” Li Xiaoheng said, and handed the freshly fried heart-shaped poached egg to his little fiance, while he brought the glasses of hot milk, sandwiches and fruit salad to the dining room.

After breakfast, an assistant came to the door and brought over the gift money received at the engagement ceremony and the list of various gifts. Li Xiaoheng keenly noticed the names of Shen Chen, Yao Wenxiao, Yan Sheng and others on it. These people were not invited to Tao Mu’s engagement ceremony, but these people still mailed gifts to the venue on the engagement day. The staff responsible for signing for the gifts didn’t know the relationship between Tao Mu and these people, so they accepted the things unknowingly. When sorting out the gift list afterwards, they simply wrote the names on it.

Tao Mu was silent for a moment. Clearly they were people who he had been entangled with for several lifetimes, and he used to have such strong and deep emotions and couldn’t let go, but now when he saw the names of these people, he didn’t even have the slightest emotion.

Too lazy to waste it!

Li Xiaoheng saw that Tao Mu had little interest, so he changed the subject. After breakfast, the two returned to their respective companies to hand over work.

After the engagement ceremony, Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng both took a long vacation for themselves and prepared for their honeymoon trip. Since the filming of the movie “Soldier Elite: Unsheathed Knife”, Tao Mu had not accepted any new scripts. He also entrusted FlyNews.com and his other companies to Xiao Qi Dad with full authority. All kinds of online and offline conscription campaign promotion in conjunction with the launch of the TV series “Soldier Elite” had also been prepared long ago, and could just be carried out step by step. So Tao Mu’s schedule was easily freed. In contrast, it was more difficult for Li Xiaoheng to move his schedule. After all, the nature of Xiaoheng Capital was not the same as that of FlyNews. The financial market was changing rapidly and as the company’s most authoritative chief trader, Li Xiaoheng must always be in charge of the overall situation.

Fortunately, Li Xiaoheng’s work relied heavily on the Internet, so there was not much restriction on the working space. Therefore, even if Li Xiaoheng and Tao Mu have planned a three-month global trip, as long as there was a laptop and Internet connection, Li Xiaoheng could do both work and honeymoon without delaying the other. Besides, the other analysts and traders of Xiaoheng Capital were also the world’s top high-end elites. With everyone cooperating with each other, they could be considerate of their boss who had been an eternal bachelor, finally settling down with a life-long partner.

In fact, Tao Mu was more interested in the famous mountains and rivers in China than traveling abroad. However, due to Tao Mu’s high popularity in China, it was easy to cause congestion once he appeared in scenic spots and tourist attractions, so in exasperation, they could only travel abroad.

The first stop of Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng’s honeymoon trip was Bali. Then they traveled to the Maldives, the Aegean Sea and other major honeymoon holy places, and finally went to Antarctica to see penguins.

During this period, the ratings of “Soldier Elite” also jumped from 10% at the beginning of the broadcast to 25%, and finally ended smoothly with the finale breaking through the ratings record of 25.7%. And along with the broadcast of “Soldier Elite”, FlyNews.com and the military have also carried out several activities for conscription publicity. Because of the popularity of the TV series, many netizens began to become interested in the routine training and tasks of the special forces. So FlyNews cooperated with the military to set up a program on individual combat of special forces, also called “Soldier Elite”. It allowed netizens who were interested in the military to see the performance of Chinese special forces in daily training more intuitively.

Netizens were originally attracted by “Soldier Elite” drama, and they already have great enthusiasm and curiosity about real army life. Every night after watching the drama, the eagerly climbed to the forum to discuss the plot, discuss several outstanding characters in the drama, discuss whether the shooting of the soldier training and weapons and props in the drama was realistic or not, and even debated about who the soldier elite and popularity king were in the drama. Even in other forums, as long as there were posts related to keywords of “Soldier Elite” and several main characters in the drama, tall buildings with thousands of floors could often be built overnight. (TN: building=thread, floor=comment)

Now with FlyNews.com and the military making such a publicity effort, these young people who were full of yearning for army life after watching the TV drama signed up to join the army without hesitation. Instantly there was a wave of enthusiasm for joining the army nationwide, and especially the proportion of college students joining the army had increased by 30% year-on-year compared with previous years. This immediate publicity effect also made the military grin from ear to ear.

As the leading actor of “Soldier Elite”, Tao Mu was busy with his honeymoon during the few months when the TV series aired. But in fact, he did not fall behind the promotion of the TV series. Usually when the two of them return to the hotel and Li Xiaoheng was busy watching the stock market in the study, Tao Mu would do a live broadcast or record a video to help the military publicize this year’s conscription policy and preferential policies for college students to join the army. Occasionally, he would make a guest appearance as a travel anchor and food anchor, and introduce the scenery and folk customs of the various places on his honeymoon trip to netizens squatting in front of the computer.

Every time this link arrived, Li Xiaoheng, who was not very talkative and appeared quite cold and even dull on the outside but very passionate on the inside, would put down the work at hand and use various excuses——such as pouring coffee, cutting a fruit plate, picking up something, etc. o just walk back and forth in front of Tao Mu, acting as various background boards for Tao Mu’s live broadcast. This adorableness naturally caused the netizens to squeal, and leave various comments on the bullet screen or make monetary rewards, wanting to have CEO Li say a few words.

“Do you want to say a few words to everyone?” Tao Mu turned to look at Li Xiaoheng. The two were on a cruise ship traveling to Antarctica. It was freezing cold outside and the temperature was too low, so Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng just nestled in their room, having nothing to do so one worked while the other live streamed.

“Say what?” Li Xiaoheng, who was staring at the computer, raised an eyebrow slightly, walked behind Tao Mu, and bent down to greet the camera. Seeing all kinds of rewards and gifts constantly flying out on the screen. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly reported the name and serial number of an international futures to everyone: “This futures has bottomed out, but it should have a good upward trend in the future. Ceramics who are Interested can consider buying it. Consider this a live stream benefit.”

The originally dense bullet screen comments suddenly stopped. A few seconds later, with a bang, the originally stagnant bullet screen once again densely appeared on the screen, firmly blocking the faces of Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng.

“Online Guidance by the God of Finance!”

“CEO Li is mighty, CEO Li is the best!”

“CEO Li, do you still lack leg pendants? The kind that has been to college and is a Ceramic!”

Some quick-handed netizens have already gone to FlyNews to confess their love. So netizens who didn’t watch Tao Mu’s live broadcast were stunned to find that in less than half an hour, a FlyNews called “Sexy God Online Trading” quickly became the top trending search. Netizens who didn’t know what was going on but loved to eat melons immediately clicked in to read the cause and effect. Then, some netizens who liked to trade stocks and futures tentatively bought a certain international futures based on the principle of believing in the master.

——It was only a few years since the global crisis in 2008. Many financial products and commodity transactions were affected by the crisis, and the current sluggish situation continued. But Xiaoheng Capital relied on the economic crisis to build its capital with precise short-selling on a global scale. As the founder and chief trader of Xiaoheng Capital, Li Xiaoheng had been keeping an eye on the international market for three years non-stop. Coupled with the help of the memory of several lifetimes, Li Xiaoheng’s trading in the international and domestic financial markets in the recent period was even more unmatched. He has truly become the God of Wealth in the financial market who could  cause clouds and rain with a turn of his hand.

Now that Li Xiaoheng recommended a certain futures to everyone, in the eyes of insiders, it was unintentionally the God of Wealth giving out charity. As a result, waves of individual investors and small financial institutions, and even some large financial institutions directly rushed into the futures market without saying a word, these Chinese individual investors also unintentionally affected investors in other countries. Therefore, under the butterfly effect, a certain futures that had been brewing for a few days before showing an upward trend in Li Xiaoheng’s analysis unexpectedly raised its head ahead of schedule.

Seeing this, everyone further confirmed Li Xiaoheng’s authority as a professional. There were even financial media reports from various countries which frequently reached the top of the headlines in various countries. And the Taoli couple, who were honeymooning far away in the Antarctic, once again realized their headline physique of “although this brother is not in Jianghu, but there are still legends of this brother in Jianghu”.

Because of Li Xiaoheng’s example, in the next two years, there was not only a wave of joining the army in China, but also a wave of fresh college entrance examination candidates applying for the international finance major. And it would directly lead to Xiaoheng Capital as the ideal job offer for a considerable number of finance majors at home and abroad in the next few years. As a result, Xiaoheng Capital, which had only been established for a few years, was able to compete with many established Wall Street financial institutions in its core competitiveness of recruiting talents for a period of time in the future. Even many large companies with abundant funds were constantly looking for Xiaoheng Capital to open accounts, and were willing to hand over their idle funds to Xiaoheng Capital for management.

This unintentional effect was also quite dumbfounding, simply too fantastical. As a result, many colleagues kept complaining in front of the Taoli couple——didn’t you say it was a honeymoon trip? Couldn’t you husband and husband concentrate on showing off PDA, why must you multitask on work and honeymoon, showing off your love and grabbing business from everyone? Especially as due to them being on a global honeymoon, the time zones didn’t even match. As a result, other colleagues had to sacrifice their rest time and work overtime, and always pay attention to Tao Mu’s live streaming, lest Li Xiaoheng released some financial reports on a whim during the live broadcast of his love that might affect the entire market!

However, no matter what their peers complained about, Li Xiaoheng and Tao Mu were very satisfied with the efficiency of their three-month work/honeymoon. This was also the first time that Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng have been so indulgently intimate and stuck together for a long time since they have been dating for so long.

Three months later, Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng returned to Beijing after their honeymoon trip, and appeared in front of the public again.

Although they disappeared in person for more than three months, the Taoli couple, who had a strong presence on the Internet, once again experienced the increasingly popular airport pick-up scene. Although Tao Mu himself didn’t know it, why must his fans insist on picking him up and kept coming even though they knew he never accepted airport pickups. Of course this time Tao Mu left through the VIP route without exception.

The Ceramics who had long been prepared were not disappointed at all. Just doing the usual routine of coming and going. And it was actually quite organized. When they got home, they didn’t forget to post the airport photos without the protagonist on the Internet, and very happily entertained themselves. It was euphemistically called “My picking you up has nothing to do with you”, “I just feel that when other stars get off the plane, fans would pick them up, so we can’t let our idol be too lacking in face, otherwise it would make us Ceramics appear very unprofessional”.

This reason was really——

“Alright then!” Tao Mu acknowledged that he was a maverick, and was praised by the media and many in the industry as the most unprofessional actor, and now his fans were also following suit. Sure enough, there was some truth to the saying “fans take after their idol”.

The three-month vacation was not long, but for someone like Tao Mu who had a lot of work, the accumulated work was enough for him to keep busy after returning.

The post-production stage of “Soldier Elite: Unsheathed Knife” had been completed. Taking advantage of the popularity of the “Soldier Elite” TV series and the enthusiasm for joining the army, the big production movie had been successfully scheduled for the National Day. After returning to Beijing, Tao Mu immediately devoted himself to the promotion work of the movie “Soldier Elite: Unsheathed Knife” after it was finalized.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Because it was the first film he starred in, and it was jointly prepared with Beijing Film and the military. But most importantly, the filming cost of this film was too high, and Tao Mu was still very concerned about the box office and word-of-mouth after the film was released. So after returning to China, he immediately finalized the promotional policy of “both online and offline promotions” and “taking three routes in TV, network and local broadcasting”. Going into battle in person, flying around with the main creative team to participate in variety shows and publicity promotions, and finalized a series of performances with the military during the National Day. His figure frequently appeared in TV and major media reports, and finally did his job as an actor properly.

In the midst of the publicity campaign by Tao Mu and the main film creators, the eagerly waiting movie fans finally saw the premiere of “Soldier Elite: Unsheathed Knife” arriving.

After Two Lifetimes I Was Reborn Back Inside A Book CH 047 Competition

2 Comments

Jiang Chen came back after making the phone call, only to find that Huo Bo had arrived and Pan Liuyi had already left.

“Why were you on the phone for so long?” Shen Xu said, “Hurry up, let’s go in!”

The three of them changed on their skates together and slid in.

Apart from his initial jerkiness, Jiang Chen quickly regained the feeling of skating back, while Shen Xu and Huo Bo were even more at ease, attracting the attention of many people as soon as they entered the rink.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

After a few rounds of warm-up, Shen Xu proposed challengingly: “Let’s have a match? Loser will treat the rest to dinner.”

Jiang Chen and Huo Bo looked at each other and nodded. The three of them skated to the outer circle tacitly, and after silently counting one, two, three, they set off at the same time like arrows.

Huo Bo took the lead, Jiang Chen followed closely behind, and Shen Xu followed closely behind Jiang Chen. The three of them were so close that they were almost neck and neck. In a casual competition between friends, they skated with the atmosphere of a professional competition.

The movement here quickly attracted the attention of other people on the ice skating rink. Some people stopped directly, skating to the outfield to concentrate on seeing who lost and who won. Some people couldn’t help cheering:

“Little brother in white! Come on!”

One person yelled out, and the scene became more heated in an instant, and the others couldn’t hold back anymore, shouting:

“Little brother in black! You are the most handsome!”

“The handsome guy in white is the most handsome! He must be number one!”

“The little brother in black is the most handsome and coolest!”

“Little brother in white clothes, you are so handsome!”

Under the two waves of competing cheers from the girls, most people stopped and watched their game with great interest.

However, on another ice rink adjacent to it, only the expressions of several teenagers were not as pleased.

Someone snorted coldly: “How pretentious.”

Someone ridiculed: “The ice rink has almost turned into the personal rink of the three of them. If they are so good, why not book the ice rink and hold the Olympic Games here.”

Someone also said angrily, “Why don’t we also go to the ice rink over there, this kind of garbage competition that only competes for speed, we would crush them if we go over.”

The young and energetic boys wanted  nothing more than to rush over to interrupt the competition over there right that instant. One of them couldn’t get a word in and seeing that He Qianjian had remained silent the whole time, turned to him and asked, “Qian Jian, what do you think…..” But seeing He Qianjian’s expression, his voice paused, and after a while, he asked carefully: “Qian Jian? Are you okay?”

It wasn’t until the other people heard this that they realized that He Qianjian hadn’t spoken all this time. They all looked over and saw his ugly expression and couldn’t help but be concerned.

He Qianjian stared closely at Jiang Chen who was on the opposite ice rink, and the darkness in his eyes could hardly be concealed: “I’m fine.”

Someone followed his gaze, comprehended instantly, and said, “These bunch of bumpkins have never seen anyone who can really skate. How about we go over and show them what it’s like?”

“Okay!” A sweet-looking girl also looked over without blinking, her voice sweet and soft: “Let’s go there, it’s lively over there, I want to go and have a look.”

He Qianjian’s already dark face became even darker in an instant. He had been pursuing this woman for nearly a month, but her attitude towards him was no different from that of others. She was soft and cute but that was it. He thought she treated everyone like this, but he didn’t expect she would show such a strong interest after just seeing Jiang Chen and the others.

Someone asked: “Eldest Young Master He? Are you going?”

The girl didn’t wait for them, and skated out: “I’ll go check it out first!”

The gloom in He Qianjian’s heart almost overflowed, he gritted his teeth and said, “Let’s go.”

…..

Amidst the cheers, the three ended the match. There was not much suspense in the ending. Huo Bo was first and Shen Xu was last.

Shen Xu, who was the last, was very unconvinced: “Those people really have no vision. Why do they only say that white clothes and black clothes are handsome! Don’t I look handsome in yellow clothes!”

Huo Bo: “What’s for dinner?”

“Sichuan cuisine?” Shen Xu thought for a while, and said, “This is near Xu Ji, or we can go to Xu Ji to eat Cantonese cuisine.”

Huo Bo: “Okay.”

Jiang Chen smiled but when he looked up and saw the menacing approaching new arrivals, the smile in his eyes faded. Huo Bo and Shen Xu also saw that this group of people was coming towards them, and both their smiles faded as they looked at the new arrivals.

Skating at the front of the group was a smaller girl. She stopped in front of the three of them with a smile on her face, but her gaze was only on Huo Bo: “Your match just now was amazing! I have never skated so fast before, can you teach me?”

Shen Xu nudged Jiang Chen, and said in a low voice, “I thought this group of people were looking for a fight, who knew it’s because she got her sights on Huo Bo.”

Jiang Chen’s eyes landed on He Qianjian, meeting the other’s eyes. He Qianjian let out a cold snort in his heart, skated to the front, and said, “Everyone has paid for skating here, but the three of you occupied the entire skating rink yourselves, don’t you think it’s too overbearing.”

Shen Xu sneered: “The three of us occupied the skating rink? Aren’t you standing here?”

The faces of the teenagers behind He Qianjian changed, and one of them said, “You don’t understand human language? We’re talking about the three of you competing just now, occupying the entire rink and disturbing others.”

“Which others?” Shen Xu looked around curiously, his eyes falling on the face of the person who spoke and then moved away, and said: “Apart from the three of us, is there anyone else here? Besides me, is there someone else who speaks like a person?”

Hearing the word “person” that he specially emphasized, the young man was so angry that he took a half step forward, but was pulled by the person behind him, the person said: “It seems that you skate well, since you don’t admit to taking up the space, let’s compete in a game. We will not bully the few with more, three to three, whichever team has the most players in the top three, the other team will get out immediately, how about it?”

The speaker bit the three words “get out” very hard, and in an instant, a tense atmosphere spread.

Shen Xu nodded: “Okay, when you get out, remember to go around the perimeter, so as not to occupy everyone’s space.”

They were all young and energetic teenagers, and they couldn’t wait to compete as soon as they laid down their challenge.

The people who were waiting outside the rink to watch Jiang Chen and his friends had already stood up and were about to come in to continue playing. But seeing that they were about to compete again, they had no choice but to sit down again.

Huo Bo whispered something to Shen Xu, and Shen Xu skated to the bar area, gestured his chin to the audience area, and skated back.

Before the competition even started, someone in the audience area cheered loudly with a drink in hand: “Little brother in white! The milk tea is delicious! You must be the first this time!”

“Brother in black! Oolong is as icy as you, and no one knows how to skate like you!”

“Little brother in yellow, you are super cute! Come on!”

Jiang Chen paused, and turned to look at Huo Bo and Shen Xu. Shen Xu smiled triumphantly, while Huo Bo rolled his eyes with a dark face.

“What happened?”

“I asked him to treat the people waiting to have a drink as a fee for occupying the venue. I don’t know what he said to them.”

“I’m wronged okay, people just see that we are handsome, and spontaneously want to cheer for us.”

“Enough out of you.”

The three talked and laughed and skated to the starting point. He Qianjian looked away coldly, grabbed the boy next to him, and whispered something.

Game start.

Huo Bo still took the lead, but unlike last time he didn’t narrow the distance with Jiang Chen and Shen Xu out of fun before, this time he completely left the group of people behind, and Jiang Chen and Shen Xu still followed closely behind.

In the match just now, the three of them were just joking around, and naturally it wasn’t treated seriously. To the audience it seemed to be a very close match, but all three of them knew that if Huo Bo showed his full strength, although the result would not change, this game would definitely end early.

But the other team didn’t know that Huo Bo had only exerted less than five points of strength before, and the three of them chased after Huo Bo with all their strength, yet they still couldn’t touch the corner of Huo Bo’s clothes, so they could only grit their teeth and fight for the second and third.

However, the second and third were not so easy to win. In the last game it was because Jiang Chen hadn’t skated for a long time, so his body was in the warm-up period. Now that the warm-up was over, he would naturally only skate faster and better than before.

Shen Xu was similar, he was the slowest among the three, but because he was short and nimble, he had always been the fastest skating around corners, almost every distance he fell behind could be caught up by turning corners, and so he firmly maintained the third position.

The race they discussed was three laps, and at this time two laps had already been skated. Seeing the three people who were far ahead, the expression of one of the opposing team changed, and he took out something from his pocket, throwing it towards the corner.

Jiang Chen had been paying attention to all the movements on the rink, especially the boy who just talked to He Qianjian. When he saw him throwing something, his expression turned cold and he slowed down. He was just about to turn around to alert Shen Xu when he saw He Qianjian walk over here from outside the rink.

As He Qianjian got closer and closer to him, Jiang Chen heard a strange yet familiar voice:

The cold mechanical voice said: “The distance is ten meters, nine meters, eight meters…..affirmative to exchange the key at fifty meters with the key in your hand?”

He Qianjian: “Affirmative.”

“The exchange was successful.”

Jiang Chen froze, Shen Xu had already caught up, and said, “Jiangzi, what’s the matter?”

“It’s nothing.” Jiang Chen suppressed the shock in his eyes, and said, “I just saw that the group of people behind threw a key at the last corner of the last circle. You should be careful later when bypassing it.”

“Damn it.” Shen Xu said, “This group of people are too shameless.”

Jiang Chen speeded up: “Be careful.”

When Shen Xu and Jiang Chen got closer, Huo Bo had already completed three laps and was the well-deserved number one.

At this time, Jiang Chen and Shen Xu also skated to the last corner. When they passed the key chain, Shen Xu bent down, picked it up, and threw it back. The person following close behind was the one who threw the key, and soon everyone heard a bang sound, followed by shouts and cursing.

Jiang Chen and Shen Xu skated to the finish line on the ground, and the other three also supported the injured person and skated over, they were all furious.

One person rushed over and pushed Shen Xu hard: “What did you mean by that!”

Shen Xu had been on guard for a long time, and only slid back a few steps before standing firm. He then pushed the other back without showing any weakness, and said with a sneer, “You don’t know what I mean? You can’t even keep your own keychain safe, why blame others for the fall?”

“You f**king slandering——”

“Am I? Go ask your friend to see whose door that key can open.”

The angry young man paused, turned to look at his injured companion, and was about to ask, when He Qianjian stepped forward and said, “Who does that key belong to? We don’t know and we can’t prove it now, but you threw it back, causing someone to be injured, and everyone has seen it with their own eyes.”

“So, no matter who owns the key, the injured one is our people.” He Qianjian’s eyes swept over Shen Xu and Huo Bo, and finally landed on Jiang Chen, and said coldly: “How are you going to explain that to us?”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Shen Xu: “Who are you? Why should I explain to you?”

The young man behind He Qianjian couldn’t bear it anymore, rushed out and said, “F**k you, I’ll smash your mouth!”

Jiang Chen and Huo Bo stepped in front of Shen Xu, and the people on the other side also skated up next to He Qianjian, the atmosphere suddenly on the verge of breaking out in a brawl.

Qin Yue was sitting in the office when he received the notice to return to China. His whole person was in a daze. When the assistant came to pick him up, he didn’t even know how he got up from the chair.

When he first came, he was full of ambitions, thinking that even if he didn’t have decision-making power, he could still make achievements and make his uncle look at him in a new light.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

But when did things go astray?

Sitting on the plane, Qin Yue recalled everything after he went abroad.

It started when he first came, and now when he looked back at his previous proposal he felt like his head was full of sh*t.

This kind of situation maintained until a month ago, when he dug out his previous proposal documents in the middle of the night. He was so angry with his previous self and he didn’t know how he would make such proposals in the first place.

Back at the Qin family manor, Qin Yue stood at the gate. This was his home, where he grew up and was educated.

He used to be half of the family’s decision-maker.

But now he was like a dog with its tail between its legs, being summoned back pathetically.

“Eldest Young Master Qin, Sir is waiting for you.” The butler came out from the door, and still invited Qin Yue in as respectfully as before.

Qin Yue walked in expressionlessly, but his fingers were trembling slightly.

The butler said, “Sir is waiting for you.”

Qin Yue: “…..Is there anyone else?”

The butler lowered his head, making it difficult for people to see his expression: “Young Master Shen is also there.”

Qin Yue asked the butler: “Xiao Zhen has returned to the Qin family now?”

He remembered that Shen Zhen left the Qin family before he went abroad, and he thought that Shen Zhen would never come back.

Butler: “Young Master Shen is a guest.”

Qin Yue understood. Shen Zhen only came to stay in the Qin family manor occasionally, and would not stay for a long time.

After being led to the study room, Qin Yue stood at the door and took a deep breath. On the way, he had finished drafting how he should report to his uncle.

“Sir, the eldest young master is here.” The butler said at the door.

Qin Xing’s deep voice came from inside: “Let him in.”

The butler opened the door of the study.

Qin Yue took a step and walked around the bookshelf, only then did he see Qin Xing sitting on the sofa, and Shen Zhen sitting next to Qin Xing pouring tea.

Everyone had their own personal space, and once others encroached on this personal space, they would feel uncomfortable.

Qin Yue didn’t know how wide Qin Xing’s personal space was, but Qin Yue knew that Qin Xing didn’t like to be close to people.

Even Qin Yue never stood a close distance to Qin Xing.

But Shen Zhen was sitting next to Qin Xing at this time, and their knees were almost touching, but Qin Xing didn’t even raise his eyebrows.

“You’re here.” Qin Xing seemed to have just discovered Qin Yue’s presence, the smile on his mouth disappearing, “Sit.”

Qin Yue: “Uncle…..”

Qin Xing: “Sit down and talk.”

Qin Yue could only go over and sit down, sitting opposite Qin Xing. His eyes swept over Qin Xing, and soon moved to Shen Zhen. He hadn’t looked at Shen Zhen for a long time. When he was abroad, he couldn’t even remember what Shen Zhen looked like.

But at this moment, Shen Zhen’s figure appeared in Qin Yue’s mind very clearly.

He suddenly recalled when Shen Zhen was younger, when they were still in school.

At that time, they were the closest friends. From the beginning of their acquaintance, they had never been estranged. At that time, Qin Yue thought that he and Shen Zhen would stay together forever. Even if they did not end up with each other and married others, they would still be good brothers.

“How was it abroad?” Qin Xing noticed Qin Yue looking at Shen Zhen, and he looked over with sharp eyes.

Qin Yue quickly lowered his head: “It’s fine.”

Qin Xing smiled and said, “What have you learned?”

Qin Yue: “I was too arrogant in the early stage, and the proposals I made were too radical. At this stage, I need to stabilize the foreign market first, increase my reputation, and then gradually proceed with my plans.”

Qin Xing patted Shen Zhen’s hand: “Xiao Zhen, go to the kitchen to see if there is any dessert.”

Shen Zhen said obediently: “Okay.”

Shen Zhen knew that Qin Xing wanted him to not be present for the following conversation, otherwise he could just ask the butler to bring the desserts.

After Shen Zhen left, Qin Xing looked at Qin Yue again. At this time, Qin Xing was very different from before. His face was expressionless and his eyes were deep. He was sitting on the sofa with feet planted apart, and his gentle temperament disappeared without a trace. His whole person was full of an oppressive aura, like a huge and dangerous predator.

Qin Yue sat with his back straight. He could only feel like something was squeezing his heart, which made him almost unable to breathe. He clenched both hands into fists, but he couldn’t exert any strength.

For the first time, Qin Yue felt that he was so weak.

He was so weak that when Qin Xing looked at him, he could only shrink back.

“Ah Yue.” Qin Xing began, “Uncle had trained you for so many years, only to cultivate a waste. How do you think Uncle is feeling now?”

Qin Yue: “Uncle, I already know where my problem is. Uncle, please give me another chance! Uncle!”

Qin Xing was clearly looking directly at Qin Yue, but Qin Yue felt that Qin Xing was looking down on him.

“I gave you a chance.” Qin Xing’s tone was calm, “More than once.”

Qin Yue had already broken out in a cold sweat, the sweat on his back soaking through his clothes.

Qin Xing said: “I also told you that you are not my only nephew. Is it because I gave you too much preferential treatment that made you feel that you are different?”

Qin Xing raised his head and said with a pale face, “Uncle…..”

Qin Xing: “The Qin family can feed Ah Meng, and it can also feed you.”

Qin Yue’s eyes were filled with pleading: “Uncle, I know that my ability is in doubt now, and I don’t ask you to treat me like before. I want to not rely on the family and start my own business.”

Qin Xing fell silent, and he looked at Qin Yue carefully.

“Okay.” Qin Xing said, “I won’t provide you with any help, and you can’t tell anyone that you are a child of the Qin family. Before you succeed, you can’t appear in front of me.”

Qin Yue breathed a sigh of relief: “Thank you, Uncle.”

“You don’t need to thank me.” Qin Xing said, “If you want to thank me, go thank Xiao Zhen.”

Qin Yue looked at Qin Xing strangely.

Qin Xing: “You’re dismissed.”

When Qin Yue came out of the study, he happened to meet Shen Zhen. Qin Yue greeted Shen Zhen unnaturally: “Xiao Zhen.”

Shen Zhen had no expression: “What?”

Qin Yue: “In the past, I did a lot of wrong, I was not level-headed enough, and I didn’t consider your point of view.”

“No need to apologize, you did nothing  wrong.” Shen Zhen held the dessert, “I’m going in first.”

Qin Yue made way for Shen Zhen.

Before Shen Zhen opened the door, he grabbed Shen Zhen’s arm and whispered, “Can we talk in private?”

Shen Zhen looked at Qin Yue strangely: “Why? Is it necessary?”

“I want to apologize to you for what happened before.” Qin Yue said, “I shouldn’t have been so rude, and I shouldn’t have said that about you.”

Shen Zhen felt that Qin Yue might be out of his mind, he didn’t believe that Qin Yue had suddenly discovered his conscience. After all, Qin Yue in his previous life was practically crazy about Su Shiqing. Once someone made Su Shiqing unhappy, Qin Yue could drive the other to bankruptcy and destruction without a blink of an eye. As the rich and powerful, Qin Yue didn’t even need to dirty hus hands himself if he wanted to deal with anyone.

Qin Yue, who fell in love with Su Shiqing, had long since lost his sense of right and wrong. It would be really strange if he could know what was right and what was wrong.

“Oh, really?” Shen Zhen said lightly, “But, that’s not important.”

Compared with what Qin Yue did in his previous life, what he did in this life was just superficial, without any pain or itch.

“Xiao Zhen.” Qin Yue said, “I thought we were still good friends.”

Shen Zhen turned his head to look at him, his expression full of sarcasm: “You think?”

Qin Yue looked at him.

Shen Zhen smiled and said, “Is what you think right?”

With that said, Shen Zhen opened the door of the study room, no longer sparing Qin Yue a look, walking straight in and to Qin Xing’s side.

After putting the plate of dessert on the table, Shen Zhen sat beside Qin Xing again.

“What did Ah Yue say to you?” Qin Xing asked.

Shen Zhen: “He apologized to me.”

Qin Xing’s eyes flickered slightly: “Oh? Did Xiao Zhen forgive him?”

Shen Zhen looked up, with a puzzled expression: “I was never angry at all, so I can’t talk about forgiveness.”

Qin Xing took a sip of tea, his knuckles whitening slightly while holding the teacup.

Shen Zhen: “I don’t have any feelings for him now. It’s like looking at a stone. When it’s in the way and blocking the road, I would give a second look and become more irritable, but when it’s not in the way, I don’t notice it at all.”

Qin Xing’s finger joints relaxed, and he reached out and touched Shen Zhen’s head, with a gentle and loving tone: “Ah Yue is going to start his own business.”

Shen Zhen said without exception: “Really?”

If Qin Yue set up his own business, he should take Su Shiqing away from the Chu family, right?

Qin Xing said again: “Su Shiqing is working as a custodian in the Qin Group.”

“Custodian?” Shen Zhen was really surprised now, would a person like Su Shiqing, who needed to be taken care of and served by others, be willing to lower his profile and become a custodian? Did the Chu family drive him out? No, if the Chu family kicked him out, he would just go to Chu Haoyi or Qin Yue.

He could even go to his parents, so why would he work as a custodian in the Qin Group?

For the first time, Shen Zhen couldn’t guess what Su Shiqing was thinking.

Su Shiqing’s brain circuit was sometimes really unpredictable.

Shen Zhen said: “Why doesn’t he become an office worker? But a custodian instead?”

Qin Group’s custodians were more relaxed than those of other companies. Qin Group’s management was strict, there would be no garbage except dust, and the treatment was not bad. So the custodians also cherished their jobs.

But no matter how good it was, it didn’t seem like a job that Su Shiqing would like. A person like Su Shiqing didn’t like work at all. He preferred the feeling of living off others, being a kept canary, not worrying about food and drink, and just relying on his master’s affections to live.

And why did Qin Xing pay attention to Su Shiqing?

Shen Zhen looked at Qin Xing.

Qin Xing chuckled lowly. He seemed to guess what Shen Zhen was thinking. He sat up and said in Shen Zhen’s ear, “What? Are you jealous?”

Shen Zhen silently reached out to touch his ear, and tilted his head: “I’m not jealous, it’s Su Shiqing’s blessing that you even care about him.”

Qin Xing was amused, he suddenly wrapped his arms around Shen Zhen’s shoulders, and Shen Zhen was pulled into Qin Xing’s embrace before he could react.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Qin Xing: “Xiao Zhen wronged Uncle, so Uncle has to make a defense, right?”

Shen Zhen tried hard to breathe steadily, but still couldn’t stop the blood from rushing up. He wanted to break away from Qin Xing’s embrace, but Qin Xing’s arms were like cast steel, motionless.

Qin Xing’s chin rested on the top of Shen Zhen’s head, and Shen Zhen was suddenly feeling a little dazed.

After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn

After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn CH 289 Engagement Ceremony Part 2

3 Comments

Because it was an engagement ceremony, the whole process was much simpler than a wedding. After the two grooms came to the stage, the master of ceremonies invited the elders of both sides to come on stage, briefly introduced the two grooms, and then it was time for the elders of both sides to speak.

As the head of the Li family, even though he had retired now, Grandpa Li still stood up without hesitation. He spent nearly ten minutes expressing to all the guests the excitement of the Li family members that Li Xiaoheng was finally able to marry himself off before the age of 30, and his satisfaction with Tao Mu, his new grandson-in-law. Finally, he blessed the newly engaged couple to grow old together and cross a river in the same boat (TN: idiom meaning to share common interests and help each other towards common goals). And as elders they would try their best to be the strongest backing for the two.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Since it was Grandpa Li who spoke on behalf of the Li family, the spokesperson for the Tao family was naturally old Mr. Song. Compared with the blood relationship of the Li family, although Tao Mu’s family members were not related by blood, their relationship with each other was equally deep. Especially for old Mr. Song, who had experienced family ruin and death, the existence of Tao Mu was equivalent to making up for the vacancy of old Mr. Song’s son who had died early. Now watching Tao Mu grow up and start a family of his own, it was as if old Mr. Song saw his son grow up and start a family in another time and space, and was very emotional for a while. Finally, of course, he wished the newly engaged couple a happy union for a hundred years.

The next step was the soup drinking. During the traditional wedding ceremony, the newlyweds would drink a formal exchange of cups of wine, but now it was an engagement ceremony, so they replaced this link with the newly engaged couple drinking the “century-old happiness soup” together——in fact, according to the ancestral traditions of the Song family, this bowl of soup should be made by the descendants of the Song family, and personally fed to their newlywed wife. But Li Xiaoheng was not a girl after all and marriage was the union of two families. Old Mr. Song also didn’t want to embarrass the Li family by adhering to the Song family ancestor’s precepts so rigidly.

So this link became the newly engaged couple drinking the soup together in front of all the guests at the banquet. It must be said that Tao Mu’s craftsmanship was really good, and the ingredients of the “century-old happiness soup” were really fresh. The effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin was even more immediate——after the l newly engaged couple who hadn’t slept all night drank the bowl of soup, their complexions suddenly became rosy, their eyes clear and bright, and even their skin seemed to be more radiant.

For a while, the atmosphere in the audience became more and more excited. Represented by the juniors of the Li family, many young people whistled and clapped. There were also people asking loudly below whether the soup was good or not.

Li Xiaoheng put down the soup bowl very calmly, and responded in a calm manner: “It’s delicious.”

Instantly——

The sound of screaming and clapping in the audience became louder and more lively. No one thought that Li Xiaoheng, who was always serious and dull, could be such a good sport and actually responded to everyone’s jokes.

Some guests recorded this scene with their mobile phones, and unable to restrain their eager fingers, they directly uploaded the short video to FlyNews. The Ceramics who had been waiting for the news on the Internet instantly exploded. After watching the short twenty second video, they squealed, liked and shared it, and within half an hour, the related video became a trending search.

Unaware of the uproar on the Internet, the engagement ceremony had already reached the stage where Tao Mu would be singing for Li Xiaoheng. In the Chinese-style ceremony with antique decorations, playing and singing on a piano was actually quite out of place. But this kind of thing was actually not important, what was important was the hearts of the two people involved——Tao Mu himself wrote the lyrics and composed the song for Li Xiaoheng. With the two playing on the piano together at the engagement ceremony, it represented a perfect and harmonious union.

So this video of less than five minutes was also uploaded to FlyNews.com from various angles by the guests present. During the summer vacation, the number of real-name registered users of FlyNews.com had risen to more than 199.9 million, and it was about to break through the 200 million mark. At this time the song that Tao Mu had promised to everyone a long time ago was actually released in advance! Netizens all over the country were so excited that they quickly shared and liked it, and the registered users of FlyNews.com also broke the 200 million mark that night.

It could be said to be two simultaneous happy events occurring in the family.

“Cheers!”

After the ceremonial part of the engagement ceremony was over, the banquet officially began. Old Mr. Song personally taught the apprentices of Song Ji to prepare the wedding banquet. Needless to say, the look and taste of the banquet was first class, and even the peach blossom wine made from the Song family’s secret recipe was met with lots of praise.

Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng followed behind the two families’ elders, toasting table after table. After listening to many blessings and drinking a lot of wine, the two were already quite tipsy.

After drinking for three rounds, the guests who were still somewhat restrained also let loose. The two groups of relatives and friends who originally sat distinct from each other began to mingle, some wanted autographs and group photos, and some took advantage of their uninhibited state to talk about cooperation and endorsement. Fortunately, everyone still maintained some sense, and they have not forgotten that this was the engagement ceremony of Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng. In the end, there was no stealing the show and turning this ceremony into a business conference or a celebrity meeting.

Grandpa Li, Father Li and Mother Li had already drunk a little too much. Pulling on Li Xiaoheng’s sleeve, they sobbed with snot and tears, expressing that their grandson/son had finally grown up and found a wife. From now on, they no longer had to worry that no one would want him and he would be a bachelor for the rest of his life.

“…..You have to treat Xiao Mu well!”

Mother Li put her arms around Tao Mu’s shoulders with tears in her eyes: “Thank you for not disliking our family’s Xiao Heng for being old. Let me tell you that an older partner has its benefits, they know how to dote on their beloved!”

Tao Mu supported Mother Li who was already staggering, and gave Li Xiaoheng a helpless look: “Auntie, don’t worry. Xiao Heng is very good, we will grow old together and support each other for the rest of our lives.”

“Call me Mom!” Mother Li continued to hug Tao Mu without letting go, and said half drunk and half pretending: “Although you two are only engaged now, not married yet. But I especially hope that you can call me Mom. I had looked forward to you, my son-in-law, for thirty years.”

Li Xiaoheng: “…..” I’m not yet thirty years old!

Father Li’s ears twitched and he looked at Tao Mu with burning eyes. Immediately afterwards, the rest of the Li family also looked over. The atmosphere suddenly quietened. Even the other guests who were drinking and chatting with each other slowly noticed the atmosphere over here and gradually quieted down.

Being watched by so many people, Tao Mu looked at Li Xiaoheng a bit uncomfortably. Li Xiaoheng also looked at him with gentle eyes. His eyes were full of anticipation and tenderness.

Tao Mu pursed his lips nervously, and called out in a low voice, “Mom.”

Mother Li’s eyes lit up, and she responded quickly: “Ai!”

Then she took out the red envelope she prepared in advance from her exquisite small handbag, and directly stuffed it into Tao Mu’s hand: “From now on, we will be a family. I will treat you as my own son. Treat you better than Xiao Heng.”

Before these words even fell, Father Li also asked eagerly: “Then what about me?”

Tao Mu had already called out “Mom”, although his face was burning hot, so he gave up the fight and called “Dad” as well. Immediately afterwards, Grandpa Li and other immediate family members also came over.

Seeing this, Li Xiaoheng took the initiative to call old Mr. Song and Liu Yao and Meng Qi “Grandpa” and “Dad” before they could even speak up.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Because of this wave of changing family titles in advance, everyone in the Li family was particularly excited and toasted another round of wine towards the newly engaged couple. By the time the engagement ceremony was over, even Tao Mu, who had always been a good drinker, and Li Xiaoheng, who had never gotten drunk before, were also staggering drunk. The two families worked together and sent them back to their new house.

At that time, the two were already fast asleep. Even so, their two hands were tightly held together, and couldn’t be separated no matter what.

After Two Lifetimes I Was Reborn Back Inside A Book

After Two Lifetimes I Was Reborn Back Inside A Book CH 046 Ice Skating

After walking out of the police station, Jiang Chen hailed a cab on the side of the road.

“Go to Yan City Second Hospital, thank you.”

The car started slowly, and Jiang Chen thought back to what the police officer in charge of the case said just now:

“The person behind the kidnapping of you, we already have a preliminary suspect.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“Yesterday we asked you about who in your family or yourself had conflicts with. You mentioned your uncle Yang Tianci. After our investigation, we found that he is indeed very suspicious.”

“Just a few days ago, Yang Tianci was approached by a debt collection company and asked to repay the debt of 300,000 yuan with interest, and this amount was the same as the amount that the kidnappers first gave your mother when they called. Except that this can’t be the evidence that he kidnapped you. If we want to close the case, we have to track the mobile phone number used to contact the kidnappers. Now we have some clues. When we have enough evidence, we will notify you.”

Jiang Chen thanked him, and asked: “Officer Zhou, I’m curious, why did their group fight among themselves and hurt their own people? Is it really because of the uneven distribution of spoils? Is it possible that it has something to do with the suspect who planned to kidnap me?”

The police officer shook his head: “This matter should have nothing to do with the person behind the kidnapping of you, but it doesn’t matter if I tell you some inside information. Liu Yi said that he stabbed Huang Kai because Zhang Qiang told him that Huang Kai was a traitor and asked him to give Huang Kai a lesson, but Zhang Qiang denied that he had ever told Liu Yi that Huang Kai was a traitor, let alone that he instructed Zhang Qiang to hurt Huang Kai. Both have their own different versions of the story, so this matter has temporarily stalled.”

The car slowed down, and Jiang Chen came back to his senses.

The driver turned around with a smile and said, “Student, we’re here.”

Jiang Chen thanked him, gave the fee and got out of the car.

Probably because he didn’t say anything, the taxi driver took him directly to the ground parking lot of Yan City Second Hospital, which was more convenient. It was very convenient to go to the outpatient department from here, but to go to the inpatient department, one had to make a few big detours.

The weather in July was scorching, and most of the people who got on and off the bus or cab were in a hurry, avoiding the sun.

Jiang Chen made his way inside unhurriedly. He was never afraid of the heat, and his thinking was more efficient when he was walking than sitting. Among the people in a hurry, he was the only one who was as leisurely as one taking a walk.

When he was about to reach the inpatient department, Jiang Chen stopped and called out to someone not far away.

“Dr. Shi!”

When Shi Fengyue turned his head, the man next to him also looked over. Jiang Chen quickened his pace and walked up to Shi Fengyue. He nodded his head to the man who looked at him curiously as a greeting, and said with a smile: “Dr. Shi, I have something to ask you. Is it convenient for you?”

Shi Fengyue was about to refuse, but meeting those smiling eyes, the words changed somehow: “What’s the matter?”

Jiang Chen smiled and said, “Is it convenient to talk privately?”

Shi Fengyue took the lead to walk to a secluded place: “Come.”

Li Nanfeng looked at the backs of the two leaving side by side, touched his chin, shook his head and said, “Something’s not right…..”

When he reached the shade, Shi Fengyue stopped and said, “Go ahead.”

“I want to ask you, how did you get into the warehouse yesterday without letting anyone know?”

Shi Fengyue leaned over to look at him, seemingly purely curious yet also mocking, and said in a lazy and careless tone: “Since you have guessed the answer, why do you still ask knowingly?”

Jiang Chen’s expression didn’t change, his eyes curving in a smile, “I’m just curious, how does Dr. Shi know hypnosis?”

Shi Fengyue said lightly: “I’m a doctor, what’s so strange about it.”

Jiang Chen: “But I recall that you are a spine surgeon.”

Shi Fengyue: “When I was in college, I took psychology as an elective.”

Jiang Chen smiled slightly: “Just from taking psychology as an elective, Dr. Shi can do things that many psychologists can’t do. That’s very impressive.”

Shi Fengyue nodded slightly: “Thank you.”

Jiang Chen continued: “However, I have always heard that hypnosis requires many steps and conditions to be carried out. I am curious how Dr. Shi used simple props and sounds to hypnotize others.”

“Curious?”

Jiang Chen: “Very curious.”

“I always thought that you were not a person who easily became curious about other people’s affairs.”

Jiang Chen admitted: “I’m really not.”

Shi Fengyue’s lips curled slightly: “Then why are you so curious about my affairs?”

Jiang Chen smiled slightly: “Because I’m very curious about your hypnosis method.”

Shi Fengyue bent over slightly and lowered his eyes, leaning into Jiang Chen’s ear, he said, “Say, do you think that your curiosity about me now is a product of a psychological hint I gave you?”

Jiang Chen really couldn’t help pausing and thinking about this question, only to very quickly come back to his senses. However, Shi Fengyue had already turned and left.

He looked at his back for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed and looked away.

Whether Shi Fengyue was an SSS-level psychic power user or not, what did it have to do with him in the end?

……

When Jiang Chen walked into the ward, he felt a rare sense of tranquility.

This ward was a three-person room, and Jiang Zhuo’s two neighbors had already been discharged from the hospital one after another, and no one else had moved in yet, so he was the only one for the time being, but even so, the ward had never been so quiet.

“Dad, Mom.” Seeing the two sitting at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed, Jiang Chen paused, “What’s wrong?”

Jiang Zhuo turned around and smiled at Jiang Chen, “It’s okay, come here and let Dad see where you are hurt.”

Jiang Chen looked at Yang Si who was sitting on the side with reddened eyes, walked to the stool next to Jiang Zhuo and sat down.

“Were you scared yesterday?” Jiang Zhuo looked him over carefully, patted his shoulder, and laughed: “It doesn’t look like it, as expected of my son.”

Jiang Chen leaned close to Jiang Zhuo’s ear and whispered, “Did you quarrel with Mom?”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Jiang Zhuo knocked him on the forehead and raised his voice, “Your Mom and I are perfectly fine.”

Hearing this, Yang Si turned her head and snorted.

Jiang Chen understood, “Is it because of what happened yesterday?”

Jiang Zhuo: “No…..”

Yang Si: “Yes.”

Before Jiang Chen could speak again, Yang Si stood up directly and said, “I know that I am wrong for not telling you immediately when that happened to our son yesterday, but Jiang Zhuo, think about how hurtful your words were just now. You said that I didn’t tell you because I thought you were useless, because I despised you, because…..”

Jiang Zhuo also stood up abruptly: “What I said was ‘is it because you think it’s useless to tell me’, that’s completely different from what you said about me being useless, and when did I say you despise me? Aren’t you just letting your thoughts run wild?”

“Letting my thoughts run wild?” Yang Si crossed her arms and said, “If you didn’t mean that, would my thoughts have run in that direction? You taught your son since you were young, saying that ‘a person’s attitude and tone are more important than the content’, but did you take this advice yourself? If you did, would I have thought this and that?”

Jiang Zhuo choked, and after a pause, he walked up to Yang Si, took her hand and said in a low voice, “Honey, I really didn’t mean that, maybe my expression was a bit wrong when I said it, but it was because I was too worried. Such a big thing happened at home yesterday, but I didn’t know it at all. I didn’t mean to blame you, I was just frustrated with myself. Because even if I know about it I wouldn’t have been able to do anything about it, because right now I am completely useless…..”

“Who allows you to say that about yourself!” Yang Si interrupted Jiang Zhuo: “Who says you are useless! No one can say that! You can’t say it yourself!”

Jiang Zhuo was taken aback, “Honey…..”

Yang Si’s expression also softened, and she stretched out her arms to hug Jiang Zhuo. Seeing that the two of them were about to make more intimate gestures, Jiang Chen coughed quickly.

Jiang Zhuo and Yang Si reacted at the same time and quickly separated.

Jiang Zhuo said: “Didn’t you say you have something to do this afternoon? Go quickly.”

“Dad——”

“No Dad, why aren’t you going? Didn’t I tell you that a man must never be late.”

“No, wait.” Jiang Chen interrupted what he was about to say with a laugh, and said, “Didn’t you notice? You just stood up and walked to Mom’s side without using a cane. Your movements were very agile.”

Jiang Zhuo was taken aback, his expression blanking for a few seconds, and he looked down at his legs in disbelief.

Yang Si also reacted and stood up suddenly, taking a few steps back and walking to the other side of the bed, “Old Jiang, come here, try walking over here.”

Jiang Zhuo nodded, stood up slowly with the support of the bed, and walked towards Yang Si slowly, his movements changed from jerky to smooth, and his steps also became natural.

Seeing his parents hugging and crying, Jiang Chen silently left the ward.

After coming out of the hospital, Jiang Chen went straight to an ice skating rink near Yan University.

After Shen Xu heard about what happened yesterday from Huo Bo, he called Jiang Chen early in the morning to express his concern. After learning that he was fine, he changed his words of concern to complaints, and said that they were not loyal friends, leaving jim out of such an exciting situation. While also lamenting that the summer vacation had begun for so long, yet the three of them have not hung out together, and that their boat of friendship was about to capsize.

After laying the groundwork for three minutes, he finally revealed his purpose——to have Jiang Chen and Huo Bo accompany him to skate together.

Huo Bo quickly agreed. In Jiang Chen’s memory, the last time the three of them skated together was in the first year of high school, so he agreed without hesitation.

When Jiang Chen arrived at the skating rink, Shen Xu had already arrived. He was sitting at the bar drinking a soda, smiling and talking to the girl across from him.

Jiang Chen walked over, and after seeing who the girl was, he was a little surprised: “Pan Liuyi?”

Pan Liuyi smiled and nodded: “Hello again.”

Jiang Chen nodded with a smile, sat down beside Shen Xu, and said, “You came to skate too?”

“That’s right.” Pan Liuyi pointed to the girls playing in the skating rink: “I came here with my friends, I’m not very good at it, so I’m just waiting for them outside.”

Shen Xu said: “That’s so boring, Jiang Chen is very good at skating, let him teach you later.”

Pan Liuyi turned to look at Jiang Chen, and said, “Really?”

Jiang Chen smiled and said, “I haven’t skated for a long time.”

“It’s been——” Meeting Jiang Chen’s eyes, Shen Xu paused: “It’s been two or three years, it’s better that he doesn’t teach you, ice skating is dangerous, we don’t want you to get hurt.”

Pan Liuyi didn’t care either, and said playfully, “I also think it’s better to forget it, I’m so beautiful, it won’t be worth it if I disfigure my face.”

Shen Xu opened his mouth and said, “That’s not only the loss of your high school, but also the loss of all human beings and the world, it would make human beings lose out in the process of pursuing beauty…..”

Jiang Chen’s cell phone ringing interrupted Shen Xu’s rainbow fart, he raised his cell phone and said, “I’m going to answer a call.”

“Go, go!” Shen Xu waved his hand: “Go and come back quickly.”

Jiang Chen nodded to Pan Liuyi, picked up the call and walked to the restroom.

Just before Jiang Chen walked into the restroom, several teenagers around the age of sixteen and seventeen walked into the skating rink and straight to the VIP area.

When passing the bar area, Shen Xu heard their conversation:

“Why did Eldest Young Master He suddenly want to come to skate today?”

“To pick up girls, what else?”

“I think it’s because he’s in a bad mood. When I met him in the morning, his expression was very dark, I wonder who offended him.”

…..

The several people walked by, and Shen Xu raised his eyebrows, turning to ask Pan Liuyi: “Among the group of people just now, was there the cheater that your cousin mentioned? Who is it?”

“The one at the front.” Pan Liuyi put down the menu that covered her face, and said in a low voice, “I’m not sure about the cheating thing, so don’t talk nonsense, He Qianjian isn’t as good-tempered as the rumors say, he might become angry if he knows you said that behind his back.”

“Oh.” Shen Xu shrugged: “As if I would be afraid of him?”
