Chapter 106: his return
Original Translations: Crafted with Care, No Unauthorized Reposting Allowed.
Xi Gu : "Can I use the bathroom?"
Ling Xie : "The second to last room upstairs, which my brother used before."
Xi Gu : "Okay."
Xi Gu went into the bathroom and unzipped her pajamas.
Seeing a small trace above the collarbone, the image just now was vivid in my mind, Xi Gu jumped onto the sink, dry vomited for a few minutes, but because of the empty stomach, did not vomit anything out.
Xi Gu vomited so much that his eyes turned red and he slid to the floor.
He could pretend to be fine in front of Ling Xie, but when he was alone in a space, he would repeatedly remember where he had been touched, as if he had been burned in a fire that he hated.
As Jing Rong once saw, he started scrubbing his body and his fair skin turned red instantly.
He rubbed very strong, hate to rub off a layer of skin.
About to fall into a spell, snap.
The necklace around his neck fell off, as if to remind him.
Since Jing Rong gave him this necklace, it has been with him like a talisman.
Xi Gu looked at it for a long time, and the rising self-loathing slowly calmed down.
He squatted down, picked up the necklace and sat crouching on the ground.
Hold it tightly in your hand and lean your forehead on it.
"I'm fine, I'm fine." In an empty bathroom, say it to yourself.
Xi Gu's rapid breathing resumed a little, and slowly quieted down.
Xi Gu spent only one night in Ling Xie, and the next day, accompanied by Xiang Zhou, he went to Lier Xie with the intention of staying there for a long time.
Xi Gu has just sold his original house, which he sold at a low price because of a fire, but fortunately he had invested almost all his money in "Royalty" before, and now the subsequent proceeds are enough to pay the previous default, and there is still a lot of surplus. In Hongyi Guan's words, he is also a little rich and can stop working as hard as he did in previous years, but Xi Gu has taken several high-profile jobs after a few days of silence, often working until midnight.
No matter how hot "Royalty" is, Xi Gu keeps 0 interaction with the other lead actor.
He formed his own team during this time, under the Shi Xie umbrella, and was not suppressed by the group, Shi Xie only gave it the bridge to broaden, and the power of speech was always in Xi Gu's hands. Everyone in his team knew that once Jing Rong was in the campaign, Xi Gu would not take it.
The outside world rumors that these two are in conflict, but look at the play they are like glue, as if the eyes full of love, always hold a little fantasy, now basically considered disillusioned.
They are really unrelated, and Jing Rong's name seems to be a taboo in Xi Gu.
On this day Xi Gu returned from a recording session and was looking into the makeup mirror to remove her makeup.
MoDot opened the door and walked in, handing him an envelope. Xi Gu scanned it, "What is it?"
Ink Dot: "He said if I ever feel the need, I'll give it to you."
Some time ago, Xi Gu was out of touch for a few days for no apparent reason, then Jing Rong sent him a message asking him to go to Yushuiwan, and then gave him these, Jing Rong said: If you think Xi Gu's state is bad, give them to him, one letter a week.
There are 300 letters, so Jing Rong must have written them for a long time.
Don't look at Xi Gu now every day exudes vitality, more radiant than before, but only he knows, Xi Gu's pain is invisible, always pressed in the heart, every late at night, the only thing that makes Xi Gu happy is constantly in the CP building to produce food.
This break time, his weight has been dropping, so thin in front of the big screen looked better, but the reality of seeing thin like this, who can not worry.
Xi Gu put down the makeup remover pads, he ......
Xi Gu : "You said he, is he?"
Xi Gu immediately opened the letter and saw the familiar font and words: Today, did you have three good meals? [Angry Little Man]
It is a sketch, three-headed size, looks like Jing Rong, drawing skills are not so good, but you can see that the person drawing is trying to make him laugh.
Xi Gu covered his sore eyes, and wanted to laugh and cry: "When did he write ......"
Writing a letter, what an ancient way, but the emotions of the letter writer are constantly transmitted through the sedimentation of time.
Moreover, how does Jing Rong have time to write a letter, or a letter that requires a lot of thought?
Xi Gu suddenly remembered the day they first pushed the boundaries and Jing Rong was finally willing to hang out with him properly for a few days, and later in the morning, after ink dot had hidden and greeted him, he stuffed a bunch of stuff into his backpack.
Jing Rong added: We'll know when the time comes.
Xi Gu was angry, but couldn't blame him, so he read the short letter over and over again.
Xi Gu : "What did he say, was there another letter?"
Ink dot: "This he specifically explained, a week to a letter, you have to ask up the rest, is not, and so on next week."
I feel that this frequency Jing Rong may have calculated, just enough to motivate Xi Gu's life, but not so much to be immersed in the vortex of missing yourself every day can not get out.
Xi Gu was holding the letter when he suddenly said, "I want to eat, the station just said they sent a lunch box, please bring it for me."
MoDot was overjoyed, great! Xi Gu hasn't eaten for more than a day, not because Xi Gu doesn't want to eat, but because he gets sick to his stomach when he does. Xi Gu has had two bouts of anorexia nervosa before, and although he recovered, his food requirements became very low after that, and recently his intake has been close to zero.
Now Xi Gu ate in, still wanting to vomit, he looked at the small third-class man on the letterhead and forced himself to swallow.
MoDot looked at Xi Gu so hard, tears glittered under his eyes.
Inexplicably a little heartbroken, and a little envious, envious of even if they are separated, but willing to keep changing for each other.
Since being restricted by Ling Xie's high spending, the replicant had wanted to go to Jing Rong's previous investment company to make a little achievement to impress Ling Xie and let him know that he was not worse than Bug.
But he found that Bug had taken it all into account and had long since signed a private agreement with Ling Xie, and now almost all of the companies that had taken off were under Shi Xie's jurisdiction.
The rest of the company that Jing Rong had invested in Fun Video was not too small compared to the company he was managing. So when You Zhou came over with the documents for him to sign, he could no longer maintain Jing Rong's original bland appearance and threw the documents to the ground.
"What is there to sign for such a small thing!!!" The replica body said annoyed.
He does not understand why Jing Rong would invest even in such a small and insignificant company, and he does not understand why Jing Rong dares to give Ling Xie so much of his assets under his name, and he is not afraid that Ling Xie will take it all for himself?
When he returned to his senses, he saw You Zhou staring at him blankly, as if he did not expect his boss to suddenly lose his temper for no reason.
The replicant noticed the shock in You Zhou's eyes and said in annoyance, "Are you looking down on me too, you're all in the same boat."
You Zhou could not understand the words of the replica and wondered why his boss was erratic. He also wanted to persuade a few words, even if it is a small company, there is the possibility of a flight to the sky. fun video is not a very small company before, it is not a day suddenly grow.
But before he could speak, he was invited out by the replicant.
The replicant finds that he can't stand the people around Jing Rong any longer, and that they are so familiar to Jing Rong that sooner or later he will be recognized.
If you really recognize it, it does not give Bug the power to resist again? Rather than directly remove the aftermath, so Bug less an arm, but also for their own increased chances of winning.
You Zhou has been running around for the remaining small companies, and all his efforts have been beaten back by the replicas, so he went home and had a hard night, no matter how Hongyi Guan asked, he didn't mention it. The next day, he wanted to go to the company to persuade his boss again, but he was directly informed by the HR department that [ Jing Rong ] had fired him in the morning for being AWOL, which was obviously just a random reason, just to lay off You Zhou.
You Zhou was in a whirlwind and wanted to go to [Jing Rong] for clarification. He couldn't believe Jing Rong, who brought him into the company in the first place, would dismiss him so easily, but his boss completely cut him off and didn't even let him into his office.
He used to be able to beat people up in anger over discrimination, and that was his justification, but now in the face of Jing Rong, who has always appreciated him, he doesn't even have the courage to theorize again.
You Zhou's original hesitation was reduced to nothing, and he left with his things in silence.
That night, he didn't tell anyone and went to a bar to drink his sorrows away. Hongyi Guan noticed that You Zhou was not doing well in the past few days, but he didn't say anything even when asked.
Fortunately, Xi Gu always had You Zhou's work cell phone number, You Zhou turned off his personal phone, but his work phone was always on call 24 hours a day, even after he was fired, he didn't change this habit.
After contacting You Zhou, Xi Gu took Hongyi Guan to the corner of the bar and found You Zhou, who kept on drinking.
Xi Gu nudged You Zhou , You Zhou was still somewhat conscious and found that this was the lover of his former boss, a little flattered: "Gu ...... Mr. Gu."
Xi Gu said in a gentle voice: "He now ...... has some circumstances and in no way really wants to fire you, I assure you with my personality."
You Zhou is aware that Xi Gu suddenly cut off contact with his boss during this period of time, which had been maintained for a few months before.
You Zhou thought of one day a month ago, his boss gave him a very strange document, not from the company side either, but just said he should put it away.
You Zhou's eyelids fluttered and he couldn't wait to get back to his car, which still had the cardboard boxes he hadn't had time to sort out today.
But he was so drunk that he just stood up and collapsed again.
Hongyi Guan cursed and helped people into the car. You Zhou moved like a zombie and finally found the documents in the cardboard box, and then looked carefully for the end.
It was just that he was dizzy now, and he still didn't see the clues Jing Rong put on this document for a while.
Xi Gu, however, is a connoisseur, taking a glance at the ten lines, and suddenly his gaze was certain, and he picked up a pen and scratched out the initials of each line.
All together: maybe I'm not me.
The latter is a mess, Jing Rong has left as many clues as possible. Jing Rong must be eager to stay if he can do so much preparation, Xi Gu bowed his head, his eyes were amazingly bright.
You Zhou had no idea that this document would be so difficult for the fairies.
You Zhou: "You, you do not cry." He a Beta, the most can not carry the fairy sad.
Only to find that Xi Gu was actually smiling, as if he had found a treasure.
You Zhou, for some reason, had a sour and warm feeling in his heart.
Hongyi Guan interjected: "Just think of your boss as giving you an annual vacation, didn't he give you a large sum of money last month? It's enough to support your old age!"
Ah yes, there is that amount of money, at that time also think Jing Rong is not want to change an assistant, Jing Rong said it is an early year-end bonus.
But perhaps that was also a signal from Jing Rong.
Hongyi Guan guiltily asked Xi Gu to go back to sleep first, accompanying him to look for people for so long, Xi Gu activities have just finished, heard the news and immediately rushed over.
Xi Gu now realized that there was something unusual between these two: "Ah, you guys..."
When did this happen? Xi Gu was like discovering a new world, full of novelty.
How do they know each other, ah, from the time at the Reclining Snow Club?
Hongyi Guan came to the ear of his girlfriend: "not yet catch up, later to invite you to drink wedding wine."
Xi Gu : "......" has not been chased, you have even considered the wedding wine?
Xi Gu couldn't help but give a thumbs up, You Zhou is known as one of Shi Xie's three icebergs, you are too courageous.
When we got to the car, You Zhou held his dizzy head and looked at Hongyi Guan: "Why aren't you wearing women's clothes today?"
Hongyi Guan: "You look like this, how can I still be in the mood for makeup!"
You Zhou buried his face in the seat: "Leave me alone, I even lost my job, I don't deserve you ...... really don't deserve you."
Hongyi Guan was so angry that she pounced on You Zhou and kissed him on the mouth: "If I say I'm good enough, I'm good enough, I don't want you to talk nonsense! In a word, you don't deserve it!"

Feiyu Wu has not yet been discharged from the hospital, but of course he wants to be. After he was injured outside the theater, he had a minor operation for appendicitis, which prolonged his stay.
After two consecutive minor surgeries, Feiyu Wu was ordered to stay in the hospital to recuperate, and Feiyu Wu felt that he was so bored that he was almost moldy and could be dried out if he turned it over again.
Finally, at this boring moment, he waited for the start of "Absolute Idol". As he expected, the trend of "Absolute Idol" swept the whole circle of young viewers.
He said that if Jing Rong hadn't beaten him to it, he would have taken the rights!
Feiyu Wu's company is also involved, and as the boss he watches the progress in real time.
Feiyu Wu is also a celebrity on the internet, big and small, so when he had a newcomer as a contestant under his banner, he retweeted it in passing and caused a small crowd.
Of course, he originally only needed to know the outcome, he is now catching up, solely for the few seconds Jing Rong appeared, I believe there are many people like him, in the trailer found Jing Rong will appear, have been squatting in front of the screen.
On this day, he got into the same wheelchair as his father and went to the rest area in the middle of the inpatient unit. There were quite a few people on this floor who came out to watch TV during their lunch break, and there were several young Omegas and Alphas who kept the TV and wouldn't leave, watching Absolute Idol.
Whenever the camera swept over Jing Rong, Feiyu Wu stood up excitedly: "It's sensational! "Alpha should be this cold and ruthless!" "So handsome, such a cold sight, I like it!"
There is a certain brother's fan on the scene, tell him to be quiet, Jing Rong is not a contestant's love bean, there is nothing to shout! Noisy!
Feiyu Wu justified: "It's funny, he's one of the masterminds of the show, he's also involved in the production of the show, I just like to watch him, what's wrong? If you don't like it, get out!"
Because Feiyu Wu was too rowdy, he was soon "invited" back to his room by the nurses.
He was so angry that he could only open his tablet, open the pop-up, pause Jing Rong appeared for a few seconds, screenshot, save, and then run to Weibo to see, and indeed, the top of the search hanging # shocking, Jing Rong #.
Let's just say it's not his taste that's at fault, there are so many of the same people.
The comments are full of howls of excitement, Jing Rong doesn't make many appearances, and as he said at the beginning, doesn't want to overwhelm the audience. But it's because of this surprise that he's so precious, especially to viewers who haven't seen him since the release of "Royalty". The more Feiyu Wu watches, the more he enjoys it. Just then, he hears a movement at the door and finds Jing Rong standing at the door.
Usually this god does not appear at all, Feiyu Wu immediately straightened his back, his heart puffed.
Pretending to be busy, she picked up the phone and said something about her work schedule before hanging up the phone and looking at [ Jing Rong ], saying slightly indifferently, "Why are you free to come over today." Ahhhhhhhhh, Jing Rong came to see me!!!
[ Jing Rong ] smiled, "I can't come over? Aren't you welcome."
Feiyu Wu : "When, of course I can!" Am I dreaming, someone pinch me.
The two of them were chatting like this, and Feiyu Wu was happy that all the topics were accommodated to [ Jing Rong ], but he found out how Jing Rong was now talking to him in a flattering way. Wait, how is it possible, Jing Rong is definitely not related to this word.
Feiyu Wu thought that he had been flattered too much, so he had this illusion.
After a while, Feiyu Wu felt something was wrong.
How does it feel to be what he says all the time, Jing Rong will echo, as if afraid of his anger.
Something is wrong, something is really wrong!
The usual Jing Rong exudes a mildness in his bones, no matter who he speaks to, he does not change anything because of the status of the other party.
Now this is slightly ...... bizarre.
Talking about it, [ Jing Rong ] mentioned that his elder brother had cut off his financial resources for some reason, and he felt that his elder brother no longer cared about him, so he was a little sad in his words.
Feiyu Wu's expression was a little odd, and he said, a little suspiciously, "You never used to talk about it behind people's backs."
[ Jing Rong ] expression a meal, seems to know how to reply for a time, he until between himself and Bug is not the same, he belongs to the product of the heavenly way.
The replicas fled because they were worried that they would be wrong if they talked too much. I thought that Feiyu Wu, who blindly worships Jing Rong, would make common cause with him, and by the way, he could also bring in a friendly army, but I never thought Feiyu Wu would react so quickly and hit the nail on the head.
Feiyu Wu observed it a few more times, and then noticed that the sense of oddity was getting stronger.
Feiyu Wu who is also a person, in the top luxury family, can be said to be a thousand favors in one, he has seen a lot of cattle ghosts and snakes along the way like a star, a person's material desire is too strong and did not hide the tail, a long time, he more or less can feel the end.
It's just that his filter on Jing Rong is so thick that he's really a little unsure at this point.
This day Xi Gu came to take care of Feiyu Wu. Xi Gu would come whenever he was not busy with work.
Although not verbally thanked, but in action is very grateful, Xi Gu certainly will not say, the previous events he still remember.
Feiyu Wu has already cast several glances at Xi Gu today, and he comes in from time to time.
Xi Gu is looking down and peeling an apple for him, throwing a full apple peel into the trash, Xi Gu: "If you have something to say, just say it, don't be so sneaky."
Feiyu Wu didn't expect his hidden sight to be discovered, so he mysteriously asked Xi Gu to come over, Xi Gu sent the apple over, and then he heard Feiyu Wu say, "Who's being sneaky? Cough, do you think Jing Rong has been a bit off lately, I'm a bit fidgety."
Xi Gu's heart fluttered slightly and he immediately looked over.
It was the same as when Ling Xie discovered it, and Xi Gu's heart was pounding.
"Hey hey, don't you believe it. I'm serious with you, why does he seem like a different person."
"What if it really is a different person?" Xi Gu asked rhetorically, his heart pounding out, the more tense Xi Gu became, the more tense he became, locking firmly on Feiyu Wu.
Feiyu Wu is an atheist, so when Xi Gu asked him a rhetorical question, he felt that his rival was mocking his intelligence.
When you think about it, it is indeed too unbelievable, and Xi Gu is justified in not believing it.
Feiyu Wu sat back in his position with his legs crossed again, and concluded with a sense of calmness: "Forget it, it must be my illusion."
Xi Gu just raised the energy, because of this sentence, almost forked. You know how it feels to eat half an apple and then find half a worm inside?
Xi Gu, still a bit reluctant, reminded, "Do you want to think again, everything is possible."
Feiyu Wu : "Come on, don't fucking turn around and mock me, I have a high IQ."
"Think again, you're so close!" Ah, good grief.
"I said did he get close to you and that's why he became different, the so-called near ink is black, hahahahahaha!"
"...... You could be a little more stupid."
"You're getting out of line now, Gu Xiaoxi! Don't think you'll give in to you just because you're O Laozi!"
"Oh, you don't need to let me, I can beat you down."
"Can't stand it, see you in the fight room!"
......
"You brain-dead Alpha!"
"You silly Omega!"

Six months later, the Wu family.
Hanqi Wu was dreaming again and suddenly opened his eyes from the soft collapse.
I can't remember what I did in the dream, but I seem to hear my son calling out, but his son is obviously doing well in Shangjing.
Hanqi Wu opened his eyes and sat wearily in his wheelchair as the butler knocked on the door and entered, whispering, "Master, Jing Rong wants to see you."
" Jing Rong?" Hanqi Wu shook his head gently, "He is not Jing Rong."
After a while, he slowly raised his hand, meaning to let him in.
Ling Xie is still in control of his economic lifeline, Xi Gu is still shutting him out, and he has tried to find outside help, but even Feiyu Wu, who is so devoted to Jing Rong, has only been responding to messages as a matter of courtesy lately, and he feels that all his efforts are in vain.
It seems as if he was just struggling in the mirror from the moment of his birth.
The replicant knew where God was, but he had been afraid to disturb his old man.
In his heart, God is inviolable and must be worshipped with the utmost devotion.
He came in with trepidation and saw in the afterglow, the man with silver hair but still lifting his weight, the man looked even weaker than six months ago, as if he would break at any moment.
Hanqi Wu : "What do you want from me."
The replica body gulped and pleaded, "Please save me."
"I can't save anyone."
"But I was created by You, I will always be loyal to You, I am Your most faithful slave. You must not want to let Bug live either, right?" God, is his last way out.
Hanqi Wu glanced at the replicant with an emotionless, lustless look that gave the replicant the creeps.
Just as he was about to kneel down, Hanqi Wu picked up the brush on the table and slammed it down on the clone's knee.
"He won't kneel me, don't wear out his temperament." After saying these words, Hanqi Wu slowly closed his eyes.
Wordlessly signaling the butler to send the guest away, he would not waste his time where it was not needed.
A simple phrase that shatters the replicant's self-righteousness.
He suddenly discovered the sad truth that the identity he had been proud of was just a random work of God, and that perhaps God had created him just to stir up this old world.
......
Xi Gu is used to waiting, and today is another day of Jing Rong's weekly letter.
He just got it from MoDot, talking about this Xi Gu is very angry. The ink point is also, actually so honestly follow Jing Rong said, said a week, but really every week not early and not late to report, can not change to a daily letter?
Xi Gu sighed while carefully placing the letter he had managed to get into his backpack and picked up the phone.
The phone call came from Feiyu Wu, Xi Gu replied directly: "Is there anything wrong, I'm hanging up, I'm busy."
"Fuck, you wait! Jing Rong just came, I'm sure, he is definitely not Jing Rong!"
"You've said this a few times in the last six months, I won't believe it again, and again the wolf is coming." Bah, don't believe you anymore.
"This time it's really really, don't you dare believe it, he actually said he would consider old me !!!!"
"Shouldn't you be excited?"
"Excited my ass, what kind of reaction is that?" You shouldn't make fun of me, Feiyu Wu was a little angry with Xi Gu, "Guess what I said back to him."
"Back to what?"
"I said you consider me, so what about Xi Gu?"
"Well, what about me."
"He actually said that you should be the big one and I should be the one on the outside! Why should you be the big one and I be the little one, and he should be the one rolling the dice? I was furious, Jing Rong reincarnated ten times again can not say such words. Moreover, Jing Rong does not like me at all, don't think I don't know! I'm not stupid, I can't even see that."
Feiyu Wu thinks that if Jing Rong likes someone, he will reply seriously and will never be so calculating.
This is definitely an impostor from somewhere, but the impostor is acting too well, now the question is, where is the real Jing Rong hidden?
Xi Gu finally showed a smile: "So, you are really sure of the answer this time?" Oops, underestimated you fish!
Xi Gu was excited, and with one more, he had more control. Just after leaving the surveillance coverage area, Xi Gu was thrown against the wall with a strong force, and his phone fell down with a sound.
"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on? Xi Gu , what happened to you!?" At the other end of the phone, came the roar of Feiyu Wu.
Xi Gu's back was in severe pain from the impact and he sucked in a breath before he could look up and was grabbed by a man by the neck.
Jiongjie Ji's handsome face was already distorted, he looked very down and out, the clothes he was wearing were snatched from somewhere, and he didn't know how long he had been stalking Xi Gu in this way, and he found the fallen Xi Gu after he bypassed those bodyguards today.
In the past six months, he was abandoned by the Wu family, and was imprisoned for previously leaking laboratory drugs, planning to set fires, and stealing forbidden goods, and so on. It was hard to wait until today to be escorted to other prisons on the way, robbed the car and escaped.
He looked at Xi Gu with hatred: "I hold you in the palm of my hand with all my heart, Xi Gu, do you have any heart, if you have heart, how can you bear to do this to me!"
"Let go of me..." Xi Gu spits out these words with difficulty and reaches for the knife at his waist with one hand, but Jiongjie Ji does not care about Xi Gu's small movements and shackles Xi Gu's neck while covering his mouth and nose with a cloth filled with ecstasy.
It all happened so fast, and the whole thing only took a few seconds.
Xi Gu is being choked, forced to inhale oxygen, inhaling too much ecstasy at once, losing resistance, and his body is gradually going soft.
" Jing Rong ......"
Xi Gu's eyes widened and slowly fell into a darkness.
The imprisoned soul struggled frantically as if it had heard.
Within six months, it kept boiling, and several times it was almost able to break the shackles.
But perhaps he always saw himself as an outsider, his soul, a sense of belonging to the world, always so little fire.
No one knows what that point of fire is, not even God.
Maybe it was You Zhou's always secretly admiring eyes, maybe it was the moment when Zhanhong Xie shouted that you are my little son, maybe it was Feiyu Wu saying that the old man wasn't that bad, maybe it was Master Xie's words about brothers supporting each other, maybe it was Ling Xie's unconscious words, maybe it was the deep mark Xi Gu left on the tip of his heart ......
There are always so many touching moments.
He wanted to stay and never thought that much about it!
There are so many people in this world, what's the harm in having one more?
Jing Rong's eyes snapped open, and he stared blankly into the dark silence of the rough sea before him.
He's out?
No more never-ending chaos and black silence, now you can see the lighthouse ahead, you can hear the waves, really ...... come out!
His mind was still a mess and he froze and looked down, "!"
Jing Rong drew a backward breath, his feet were cliffs, moved, a stone fell.
One more second later back, he will have to say goodbye to the world.
