Chapter 94: God's Gambit

No one knows, what was agreed between Hanqi Wu and Jing Rong that night.

The only people who know are those who are in the car.

Three months later.

With the end of the filming of "Royalty", Xi Gu and Jing Rong have not been tied up again.

There is little, if any, interaction on various occasions, and it is quite intriguing.

They look stranger than strangers and have not said anything to each other. Some fans said they saw them arguing backstage, but both denied it afterwards.

As the two have been catching wind of the story, the media will always follow them to write some specious news. The flow is both king, even if the parties involved are low-key enough, but can not help but their popularity is too high, there are fans love to see.

The only thing the two can be said to have in common is that they both like to wear the same brand of clothes.

The suit Xi Gu wore on the podium was spotted by the media and came from Xie, a first-tier luxury brand.

Because it is a custom model, you can't find the picture on the official website, but because Xi Gu's look in a white suit is popular all over the world, but never found the brand that provided it, no brand came out to claim it at that time, which led the media to dig deeper and deeper before being dug up the Xie that was buried very deep.

Xie has always been known for its cool, it makes sense not to come out and claim it, but they are even the spokesperson is chosen electronic synthetic characters.

Xie also interacted with Xi Gu on the official website this time, which made Xi Gu's fashion resources better, so that the previous contract broken by the brand will not happen again.

Xie still doesn't have a spokesperson, but the two are the new trendsetters in the fashion world by themselves.

A working-class person who was in straitened circumstances said she wanted to buy a Xie, but was really shy, until she was invited to stay at Lier Xie on a business trip and found that she could enter the Xie website with her proof of stay, and the products inside actually had certain discounts, so she finally bit the bullet and bought one for herself.

After posting the experience online, which prompted many people to say "I'm not worthy", Lier Xie's occupancy rate has increased significantly since then. Just as Ling Xie had envisioned from the beginning, it was a win-win arrangement.

Zhou rang to see Shi Xie's stock climbing recently, which was a happy thing, but their boss Ling Xie always frowned.

Ling Xie is looking at her phone, and the screen shows exactly one entertainment report, "Royalty" has been approved and finished a few months ago, and now enters the promotion period. But for a dozen roadshows, being the two main characters, they were hardly ever present at the same time.

This strange discovery has caused the media to scramble for coverage, but the two lead actors continue to do what they do and remain on different stations.

Of course most of the investors and producers are still happy because of these reports, which made "Royalty" more hot and saved some of the promotion cost.

Ling Xie originally thought that the youngest brother's love should be smooth sailing, but these two seem not to be in contact, not an illusion, these few times over the Royal Water Bay, has been completely invisible traces of another person's life.

He asked Xi Gu single-handedly if he had broken up, and got another negative situation.

Is it because I stopped them from having premarital sex and there was a conflict?

Ling Xie, rather annoyed, opened the cabinet, stood in front of the safe and entered the code.

After opening the cabinet door, what caught the eye was a light and small box.

Long ago specially customized, did not have the heart to take to the brother's security measures. He always hesitated to take it to his brother, contrary to his long-standing philosophy; not to take it, but also afraid that his brother's relationship because of his words yellow.

Knock, knock, came a knock at the door.

Ling Xie put the box into his suit pocket somewhat sheepishly and said coldly, "Enter."

Jing Rong was called to Shi Xie by Ling Xie, and the receptionist was surprised to see him as usual, and newcomers who did not understand would take the opportunity to explain who Jing Rong was.

As for the newcomer Jing Rong who suddenly became popular on the internet, oh, that's just a side project for our young master.

Jing Rong said hello to Zhou Rong and then entered the president's office.

He is also the only one who does not need an appointment to enter the office.

"Here it is," Ling Xie already in just a few seconds, quickly open a business plan already read, pretending to be busy, also did not look up, directly push a document to the front, "if there is no problem, then sign off."

"What is this?" [ Jing Rong ] flipped through the document and saw the huge amount at the top, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, but remained aloof in order to maintain his persona.

"Grandpa's charity foundation, left to you, just sign the papers, the rest will be taken care of by the agent." Ling Xie said.

Originally, the old man had prepared three shares, but because Jicheng Xie's approach completely chilled the old man's heart, he simply divided the rest of his property in two and gave it to the two Ling Xie brothers to support each other in the days to come.

[ Jing Rong ] nodded his head to indicate that he knew, and with a big wave of his hand, he signed the big name.

"Let's go to dinner together later." Ling Xie looked at the watch on his hand, "The trap you laid for that old director last time is good, you can slowly close the net."

The other hand hesitates to give the box to the little brother now, how should I ask for it.

Jing Rong paused for a moment, as if he was thinking about how to answer.

It ended up with the generic answer, "Yes, brother decided."

At that moment, a female Omega secretary knocked on the door and brought in the brewed coffee.

The secretary, who has a pretty figure and walks gracefully, brushes Jing Rong's clothes, if at all, before leaving.

For a being like Jing Rong, temptation is everywhere, depending on his own determination.

At that moment Ling Xie raised her head and found that Jing Rong, who never pays too much attention to others, was actually paying attention to the strange Omega.

Ling Xie did not know that although the soul was copied, the copy was not complete.

When it becomes a living creature, it is no longer controlled by its own body. It becomes curious about its surroundings, starts to have its own thoughts and hobbies, and gradually becomes separated from Jing Rong itself.

Ling Xie frowned, withdrew the hand that originally sent the box, hesitated for a moment: "You ......"

It occurred to him that about three months ago, Xi Gu had called out to him and asked him if he thought anything was wrong with Jing Rong.

He did not think deeply at the time, thought it was just the two young people in a quarrel, he was an outsider is not good to intervene.

And in the few meetings Jing Rong has had, he hasn't changed at all.

"What's wrong, brother?" [ Jing Rong ] looked at him suspiciously, not unlike before.

"It's nothing." Ling Xie was unmoved.

Ling Xie side said, but found [ Jing Rong ] picked up a model of Buzz Lightyear on the desk to play with, looked unconcerned and said, "Brother how to put such things outside, how to ruin your image."

This decoration also comes from Jing Rong's bedroom full of pink lace finally redecorated, he went back to Shi Xie's main house to accompany Ling Xie for dinner, and then found a broken model of Buzz Lightyear in the basement. The housekeeper told Jing Rong that in fact Ling Xie was not exactly an excellent template when he was a child, he would also watch cartoons and have times like rest. One in particular liked this animation, secretly begged the housekeeper to get one for himself, but still found by the tutor, so the old man broke it and fell to the warehouse to collect dust.

After Jing Rong knew, he went to look for the broken model, but found that the animation was decades old and all related products had been discontinued long ago, so the model Jing Rong was looking for was hardly available on the market.

I waited for a long time to get this one, and then gave it to Ling Xie without thinking about it.

Ling Xie was disgusted when he received it, how old he was, how could he still need such a childish toy.

But turn around and put it on the table and look at it every day.

This model carries the memories of the two brothers, no matter how little brother should not say it in such a frivolous tone.

[ Jing Rong ] has most of the shen body's memories, but not his own life experience, many memories are limited to swallowing like muddy fallen dates. In so many memories, a trivial matter how he could remember all.

But [ Jing Rong ] is very calm, immediately rounded back: "I mean I did not expect brother still keep this."

Doubt, just offhandedly.

A kind of inexplicable up panic, spread to the heart.

Is there an unfathomable but very scary possibility that has been overlooked by him?

*

Xi Gu personally drove to Wolsuet, and according to the room number sent on WeChat, he was led to the private room by the waiter.

Ling Xie had already ordered the food, and this was the first time Ling Xie asked for Xi Gu, the Omega he had thought he would not meet until his little brother was formally introduced.

Ling Xie: "Sit down."

Xi Gu is still a little nervous about facing Jing Rong's big brother alone, after removing his disguised costume.

Xi Gu asked, "Zong Xie, what do you want to see me about?"

As Jing Rong's absence grew longer and longer, Xi Gu became more and more frightened and began to numb himself with intense work in order to be in the best shape possible when he faced Jing Rong again. Every day, when he is so tired that he falls asleep, he can briefly forget that there is a corner in his heart where he always misses a man like crazy.

Ling Xie looks at Xi Gu, who looks in great shape. At first glance, she thinks he is doing very well, but on closer inspection, she can see that Xi Gu is wearing makeup. I remember that Xi Gu used to be famous for his face, so he is covering up something.

Ling Xie looked at the hot tea in her hand, watched the leaves swirl and settle in the glass, and asked, "You asked me last time if I thought there was anything wrong with him."

Xi Gu's eyes, which had been distracted, suddenly lagged.

He looked at Ling Xie with concern, and his fingers shrank. He had been praying every day for some time that someone would find out, and when someone did, he began to worry that Ling Xie's answer was not what he wanted.

During this time, he had secretly observed [ Jing Rong ], he found that this impostor has begun to integrate into every aspect of life, while the real Jing Rong has not shown any signs of returning.

He worries that Jing Rong will really disappear when more and more people only recognize the impostors.

Xi Gu is always awakened by his own speculations in the dead of night.

He wrote the word "stay" on Jing Rong's hand in the hope that Jing Rong's heart would stay.

Xi Gu's eyes lit up slightly and asked cautiously, "Did you ...... find something?"

Ling Xie nodded, "He's a little different."

Xi Gu : "The eyes."

Ling Xie : "Talk."

Xi Gu : "Camouflage."

Ling Xie : "Memory."

The more the two men spoke, the faster they spoke.

Each of these words seems to expand a small essay of several thousand words, one for each of the two, as if to a code word.

Xi Gu was aware of the incredible events in Jing Rong's body in order to make the connection, but he didn't expect Ling Xie to eventually make the connection as well, and he felt that Ling Xie was the very magical being.

Ling Xie can accept only one little brother, because only this one really recognizes him. People are relative, there is never goodwill without a reason.

Some things are well known, but there is no need to say it. He recognized which, which is his little brother.

His little brother, unique.

Ling Xie's face was getting worse and worse: "What's the solution?"

Xi Gu shook his head, "He's restrained, there's nothing he can do now, he said to wait for him."

Ling Xie was adamant: "He'll be back, we're here, he won't leave without saying goodbye."

Xi Gu looked at the unquestionable in Ling Xie's eyes, and his six-hearted heart settled somewhat, choking, "Well."

His little brother, never clear what they want, just the little brother itself is ...... will not have no attachment to the world?

Ling Xie found that Xi Gu's make-up might be hiding her haggardness, and no amount of consolation would be futile for such Xi Gu, who knew too well what she was going through and was somewhat distressed that her sister-in-law was waiting day after day.

Ling Xie does not know how to comfort people, he is not this piece of material either.

Even he was fearful because of this conjecture, and Xi Gu could imagine the pressure that a person had to endure for such a long time.

Ling Xie looked at Xi Gu with softer eyes, thought for half a day, and pulled out a check from his body.

Swish wrote a number, put it on the turntable and turned it to Xi Gu.

"Take it."

"?"

Xi Gu picked it up, his eyes wide.

The hand shook and almost shook the paper off the hand because of this over exaggerated amount.

5 million check!

What was once envisioned has come true.

One day, he received a check for $5 million from his boyfriend's family.

Xi Gu blurted out, "In fact, I am very rich can raise him without any additional I will be good to him so I do not want to leave ......"

Xi Gu said in one breath, this paragraph did not even think, and I do not know if it was thought in the head before.

There is not even a punctuation mark in the middle, which shows how nervous Xi Gu is.

Ling Xie was baffled: "What are you talking about."

Xi Gu, as if the pause button had been pressed, sat obediently in his seat and listened to the instructions.

Ling Xie : "pocket money, buy yourself some food ...... try to rest more, money can not be earned."

So that's what it's about, phew.

Xi Gu will be the brain of the waste through the sweep, want to return: " Zong Xie , my income is enough to support themselves, what to eat without 5 million so much, this you or ......"

"Call me big brother, brother to give pocket money deserved, return is to disown me." Ling Xie calmly said, the way of speaking is always so straightforward.

"Big, big brother?" Is that a name I can call, is it appropriate for me.

"Hmm." Ling Xie responded.

Xi Gu's originally low mood instantly shot up to the clouds, dizzy.

"I ...... I'll go out for a while." Xi Gu jerked to his feet and exited the room with a pretense of composure.

Xi Gu hurriedly ran to the door, covering his face and screaming silently, was he considered to be approved by his in-laws?

Ling Xie's appearance is like a quick-relief pill, he finally knew why Jing Rong so respected big brother, this man and Jing Rong the same, as long as the presence, like a needle in the sea.

Xi Gu was jumping excitedly outside the door when a waiter came along the road.

He looked at the Xi Gu, which had completely overturned his imagination, and was shocked, how could this be Xi Gu?

Ling Xie's worries are not few, but he has been practicing since he was a child the ability to not change his face even when he is in front of a mountain.

And Xi Gu can carry off, he said nothing can be underestimated by his sister-in-law, must be more calm to be right.

Xi Gu had work today, but was late to the event because of Ling Xie's impromptu summons.

What he didn't know was that his intense daily thoughts solidified a certain unstable soul.

With Ling Xie's recognition, Xi Gu is finally no longer alone, their thoughts are slowly awakening their sleeping souls and their desire to return is growing.

Xi Gu arrived in Maya City this evening, coincidentally, the same place where I first met Jing Rong.

The first thing you can do is to compress all your thoughts, and he is still standing for the jewelry he endorsed today, while talking with the host.

Suddenly his gaze went to a certain corner of the crowd inside the venue, where there was a familiar back.

Xi Gu couldn't do anything but stare firmly at the direction the man left, and was pulled by the wrist by the host who sensed something was wrong the moment he was about to run off stage.

"Xi Gu, it's not even show time yet, why are you so impatient?" The host joked.

There was a lot of good-natured laughter, and Xi Gu realized that he was still on the platform, but his heart had long since flown away.

He, it seems, has seen Jing Rong.

That figure just now, it's too similar.

Xi Gu stayed up until the end of the station, only to run out in a hurry.

He searched around, rubbing elbows with countless people, but never saw the familiar figure.

It's an illusion, right?

Maybe it's that impostor's trick again.

The impostor didn't give up and had chased him to his place of work to confess again.

Some fans have seen them arguing backstage, and it's not just an empty story, it's a real thing.

That day, the impostor finally couldn't control Xi Gu's differential treatment after being repeatedly rejected.

Shouting angrily at Xi Gu, "What he can do, I can do too, exactly the same. The most important thing is that he doesn't love you, he just looks at you with pity."

If it was the Xi Gu of old, it might have been struck by this statement, because what the impostor said was clear in his mind.

But now Xi Gu, who wants to become better, has been changing himself for the sake of the one in his heart.

"You're so pathetic that you have to look for someone close to him to get approval." Xi Gu replied coldly, returning word for word, "He's not going anywhere, because he's here with me."

Xi Gu pointed to his heart, even if never love, I can always wait.

The impostor looked at him and realized for the first time that an Omega, known for its softness, could be so strong mentally.

The impostor sensed his own defeat before finally seeming to pull back: "You can't wait for him, this is his wager with God, and he is doomed. His soul is dissipating, and soon, this body will belong to me completely."

"God, who is it?"

"The Supreme Being."

" Xi Gu , he doesn't belong here, so he must disappear. Choose me, it is the right thing to do, don't fight against God."

"I don't believe in God, I only believe in Him."

He said he would come back, so he will come back.

Xi Gu searched several times, but found nothing.

He stood blankly in the crowd of people coming and going, pressing the corners of his dry eyes.

What to think, following the clues Jing Rong left on his calendar, he will be back in a few months if things go well.

Xi Gu held the necklace around her neck, regained her composure, bought herself a cold drink and finished it in one gulp.

The first time I met him, I walked to the bathroom and thought about the time I bumped into Jing Rong, Xi Gu couldn't help but smile at the corners of his lips.

If he knew at the time that so much would happen to them later, if he could turn back time, he would have been the first to pounce.

Xi Gu had just laughed when he noticed a tall man crouching in front of Men A. The man was staring out at the ground.

Xi Gu is like afraid that the person in front of him is an illusion, and as soon as he exerts himself, he will burst the illusion.

Gently walk over.

Take a few steps and stop where you are.

Close to home, too much anticipation, but rather afraid to reveal the truth.

"You ......"

Jing Rong was wondering if this was the place where he dropped his hat when he heard a familiar voice and looked up in surprise.

Just as he stood up, he saw Xi Gu's hands covering his mouth, tears slipping down his face.

Xi Gu endured for three months, all the strength and as if nothing had happened, collapsed in an instant.

When Jing Rong was at a loss for words, he swooped over, bounced, and hung his legs on Jing Rong's waist.

Let me meet you again in the original place.

Really good.
