MTL - Dressed As Scum A Marked the Crazy Beauty Boss-Chapter 63
The sky was dark for a day, although it was a dense drizzle, it still fell in the end.
The wind of early autumn poured in from the window in the corridor with black iron bars, carrying the cold moisture in the air, soaking into the texture.
Bai Xin stood at the elevator entrance and waited, his fingertips trembling slightly. She was wearing a light skirt and no coat—she always forgot about it.
Then he remembered that when autumn began at the beginning of the month, Cheng Jiqing inevitably reminded her to bring an extra coat, reminded her that the temperature difference between day and night was big, reminded her that it was going to rain today, so remember to bring an umbrella.
In comparison, she was never as careful as Cheng Jiqing, and she rarely cared about Cheng Jiqing.
The elevator door opens and walks in.
When we reached the sixteenth floor of Nanjing, Cheng Jiqing's password was her birthday - the seventh day of July.
Tanabata Valentine's Day, an excellent day, combined with the year.
Fingerprints again.
There are only two fingerprints on this door, and Cheng Jiqing even gave her such treatment a long time ago.
Bai Xin's heart welled up, the moment she walked in the door, she knew Cheng Jiqing was not at home.
The room was empty, with only a dark purple carpet standing alone at the door.
The shoes were all put away, she took the slippers from the cabinet and walked in.
The air was not smooth... Bai Xin's heart skipped a beat—the house was too tidy, to the point of panic.
Even if there were no lilies in the vase on the balcony, Cheng Jiqing would always replace it with fresh ones, but now the bare transparent glass is just there.
Bai Xin's eyes darkened, she thought of something and turned to open the refrigerator, there was no vegetables that Cheng Jiqing used to make salad every day.
She rushed to Cheng Jiqing's room and put away all the quilts. There were obviously fewer clothes in the closet. What shocked her even more was that the suitcase in the closet was gone.
This was one of the few times Bai Xin panicked in the ten years after Lu Man passed away.
She stood in the empty room, her fingertips trembling uncontrollably.
She thought back to Cheng Jiqing's phrase 'Take care of yourself', did she mean something?
Is Cheng Jiqing going to leave her...?
Bai Xin took a deep breath, her hand grasped the door of the closet, and was about to buckle it in. A belated cold hit from the soles of his feet, Bai Xin took out his mobile phone and dialed that number again.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily..."
She didn't stand for a long time, but felt that her legs were slightly numb, so she sat on the edge of the bed.
She couldn't contact Cheng Jiqing, nor could she find Cheng Jiqing.
Will it be with Song Ling? Still at Cheng Jing's place?
Slowly her sanity came back—and there was a place.
Bai Xin called Ada directly.
Knowing the news of Cheng Jiqing's going to Jiangcheng, she was full of confusion, but she had to ask other people to find out where Cheng Jiqing was.
The nearest flight to Jiangcheng is two hours later.
Bai Xin felt restless after suffering, and two hours was enough for her to exhaust her patience, but it was a distance of 1,100 kilometers, so what could she do.
Feeling restless, because she was exhausted and her heart was beating fast, she stroked the cushion under her body with her hand.
Click on WeChat and open Cheng Jiqing's dialog box.
After calling several times, I felt that this kind of conversation was insincere and always seemed too shallow compared to what Cheng Jiqing gave her.
【Cheng Jiqing, I really want to see you. 】
She still sends it out.
Cheng Jiqing didn't sleep well last night, but he managed to catch up on two hours of sleep on the plane, and he felt better.
After getting off the plane, I switched the phone to the mode.
Then several WeChat messages jumped to the screen.
It was news from several people, but she saw Bai Xin at a glance. So what if he unpinned it, it doesn't mean that this person doesn't exist. It's just to make herself feel better - she can also not care so much.
Looking at the message, she was silent for a moment, then turned off the phone again.
It's not the first time she heard such sweet talk, every time she is tempted and soft-hearted. Suddenly, she also wanted to be cruel.
She also wants Bai Xin to know that she is not always soft-hearted.
And still before everything is clear.
The hotel is set by the crew.
Tong Yanxi, Li Yunlan and several other actors have already arrived. Tong Yanxi sent messages in the small group, and on the first night, she did nothing and went out to 'gather the wind'.
Everyone is very active.
The scenery of Jiangcheng is boundless, and it has the title of "Little Jiangnan". Behind the low houses with white walls and black tiles, there are tall buildings. Stepping on the stone slabs all the way across the rainy long street, a group of people arrived at the small building next to Jiangcheng Lake.
It was past six o'clock, which was supposed to be the busiest time in Jiangcheng Lake, but it rained today, and the flow of people was greatly reduced.
"Director Tong, let's order first." Several people handed the order card to Tong Yanxi.
Tong Yanxi took it over, ordered in twos and twos, and said, "Don't lose weight today, order whatever you want to eat, anyway, you won't have to indulge later."
Several people laughed when they heard it, and Cheng Jiqing also laughed. What he said was that there were a lot of dancing in "Cat and Mint", at least they had to maintain their weight during filming for the past two months.
"The promotional photo has been taken, will it be released in two days?" Zhou Qing, who plays the ex-wife, is also an actor who has been filming for many years.
Li Yunlan said, "Tomorrow morning."
Tong Yanxi opened a can of Coke and took a sip: "Are you nervous?"
Sitting next to Tong Yanxi, Cheng Jiqing realized that he was asking himself, and shook his head: "I don't feel it."
Zhou Qing asked: "Hey, to be honest, the more I look at Chengcheng, the more familiar I am. Have you never acted before? I was still talking to my agent that day, and I always felt like I met you somewhere."
Cheng Jiqing smiled and said, "It's true that I haven't acted in it."
In this abo world, no.
"Wait a minute, I think of a photo." Li Yunlan said softly, then lowered her head to get the phone, and put it on the table after a while: "Cheng Cheng, is this you?"
Cheng Jiqing looked at it with the eyes of several people, and it turned out to be the one taken downstairs by the fire.
In the photo, the woman is wearing a vest with black stains on her face, but she has a kind of resolute beauty.
"Ah...it's me."
"My God, that's it!" Zhou Qing: "Is it really you, Chengcheng? I thought it looked familiar. At that time, this photo was still trending. Later, I said I would look for it again, but I couldn't find it online."
At that time, Cheng Jing asked people to remove all the photos on the Internet, but after the popularity subsided, he didn't know much about it.
"You all recognize this." Cheng Jiqing laughed, and went to get the orange soda on the table.
In fact, she felt that the photo was a little blurry when she looked at it, but she didn't expect that the two people sitting there could recognize it...
Zhou Qing said: "I didn't recognize it immediately, but as long as I have seen the photos, I will have that familiar feeling when I see you."
Li Yunlan was at the side, put the phone back, and said with a smile: "It's okay to recognize it, Cheng Cheng seems to have misunderstood her appearance."
Other people read it and compare it.
"Indeed, anyone who has seen Chengcheng will recognize it. I suddenly thought that when the promotional photo is released, this photo can be used as a promotional opening." An actor said: "Yixin really picked up a treasure. "
There are sweet ingredients, but there is also sincerity.
At first, they thought Cheng Jiqing was a newcomer who didn't understand anything and had no works, but after a few contacts, especially Tong Yanxi was used to taking out a separate fragment after reading the script for a temporary "examination". People will have understanding.
The acting skills are good, the lines are good, and Cheng Jiqing recites the script lines in full, sometimes Cheng Jiqing can help to match whoever is absent.
Moreover, Cheng Jiqing's line skills are the kind that don't need dubbing.
In addition, this man's temper is really pleasing.
Cheng Jiqing's facial features are exquisite and profound, when he is not smiling, he is indifferent, and his demeanor is even more pure and abstinent. But this is a person who doesn't hesitate to smile, but she has a gentle voice.
Do things clean and not pretentious.
Everyone loves to talk to her.
After the man finished speaking, Cheng Jiqing smiled: "That's not it."
But no one knew, what Cheng Jiqing was thinking was that when the filming of this movie was over, the first thing she would do was to terminate the contract with Yixin.
The topic continues.
"The angel beauty in the news was by my side. I remember that little girl crying for WeChat in the video. It was very funny. Did Chengcheng give it to me? Haha." Zhou Qing said.
"No." Cheng Jiqing said.
Afterwards, I donated some money to the Red Cross, and asked someone to bring a few words to the little girl, but I didn't pay attention to it later.
She replied, probably because she was in a bad mood, she didn't have much interest, and she kept her energy to respond in order not to lose her spirits.
My mind was a little confused, but I didn't know what I was thinking.
After Cheng Jiqing finished speaking, someone turned to Li Yunlan.
"Lanlan, have you kept it all this time? You found it so quickly? Didn't you know it long ago?"
Everyone looked at Li Yunlan, because the two played a lot against each other, and the atmosphere of the crew was very good.
During these online and offline scenes, they occasionally used jokes like 'your teacher' and 'your student'.
There is inevitably teasing in the words.
It is this question that also gives people a sense of ambiguity.
Li Yunlan shook her head, glanced at Cheng Jiqing, probably afraid that the little girl would mind, and explained seriously: "It's just a coincidence, didn't I keep learning to draw? I saw this photo at the time and thought I liked it so I saved it. Later, my agent reminded me It may be copyright infringement, but I have never painted it. I was also surprised when I saw Chengcheng, but I was not sure, so I have been dragging it until now."
In fact, I didn't find a suitable opportunity, after all, I had only known each other not long ago.
Hearing this, Cheng Jiqing smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, Mr. Lanlan's painting of me is not infringing."
Li Yunlan's peach-blossom eyes bent, and said: "Thank you very much, Teacher Chengcheng."
Everyone laughed at the dialogue.
"Is it all finished?" Tong Yanxi asked.
The topic finally left Cheng Jiqing's place.
After a while, Cheng Jiqing stood up and walked to the window.
It was a happy chat, and the atmosphere was scorching hot and not cold at all.
The beautiful scenery by the lake, the solid wood windows are opened, and the wind is humid. It would be very artistic to add a cup of tea.
But soft drinks and snacks also have a special flavor.
Cheng Jiqing looked at the lake view below, but his mind was on Beicheng thousands of miles away. It was raining in many places this night.
She saw Song Ling's circle of friends, and it was raining heavily in Beicheng at this time.
"Cheng Jiqing, call me."
Tong Yanxi reminded me.
Her heart moved slightly.
…
Bai Xin called with the mentality that he couldn't get through, but this time it was unexpected, and the connection went smoothly.
"Hello." Cheng Jiqing's voice was very soft, and he could hear the quiet environment on the other side.
Without the second sentence, Bai Xin's heart beats faster for no reason.
She slowed down for two seconds and said, "Where are you now? I'll come to you."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a gentle voice from the other end: "Chengcheng, I'll help you..."
The woman's voice stopped abruptly.
Bai Xin pinched the phone, mouth dry: "Who are you with?"
"A few colleagues." Cheng Jiqing paused, "I'm not in Beicheng."
Bai Xin fell silent, heartbroken and uncomfortable: "I'll come to you, okay?"
She heard a bit of wind from the other end, and then Cheng Jiqing's clean voice: "This side is full of crew members, it's inconvenient, just wait a few days."
Bai Xin restrained his emotions: "I have something to say."
"I know."
Cheng Jiqing said slowly, "I'll meet you when I get back."
Bai Xin raised her head slightly, with the drizzle blowing on her face, she stood by the side of the road and listened to Cheng Jiqing say, "Then I'll hang up first."
…
Cheng Jiqing stood at the window in the corridor.
The rain outside tends to intensify, and the temperature seems to be getting colder. The screen of the mobile phone has not yet gone black, and the coldness is a bit scorching.
No matter how angry she was, she knew that she and Bai Xin wanted to talk.
But at this point in time, she couldn't let Bai Xin come here.
After tomorrow, she will be busy with training and work, even if she meets, she may not be able to settle down to talk to Bai Xin.
There is another reason, she is indeed still angry now.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was only early eight o'clock when we returned to the hotel.
Cheng Jiqing returned to the hotel room, his shoes and trousers were mostly damp, he took off and took a shower, he didn't sleep well last night and planned to take a bath today, and go to bed early tonight.
Tomorrow cannot be without energy.
After taking a shower, I changed into a set of beige pajamas and went to bed, lay down and looked at my phone.
There are two missed calls.
There is also a WeChat.
Bai Xin: [I'm in the downstairs lobby of the hotel. 】
News ten minutes ago.
Cheng Jiqing's back was slightly stiff, and after a while, she took a deep breath, dropped her knees off the bed, and turned to get a change of clothes.
At this point, it was still raining heavily outside.
It's not the weekend, it's raining again.
There were not many people in the hotel lobby, and the light golden lights gave such a cold night a false warmth.
Cheng Jiqing changed into a sweater and wide-leg pants, and put on a windbreaker.
When I got off the elevator, I saw Omega in the corner with lowered eyes.
The man was wearing a long skirt, and his long dark brown curly hair hung slightly on his cheeks. There was a distance of more than ten meters, and for a while, he only felt that the hair and cheeks were black and white.
Cheng Jiqing walked over and sat down on the sofa opposite.
Bai Xin raised his head, his hair was wet with a little rain. Her lips were pink and her cheeks were even more bloodless.
The colors that were raised for her a while ago are all finished. Cheng Jiqing couldn't help but get more angry.
"How do you know I'm here?" After Cheng Jiqing asked, he paused for two seconds, then remembered: "Oh, Yixin also owns shares in XM."
XM belongs to Zhou Yushu, Bai Xin found it very easy.
I didn't feel it just now, but now the coldness came up again. Bai Xin rolled his hands unconsciously, and went to look at Cheng Jiqing: "XM is not Zhou Yushu's."
There was a tremor in her light voice, which made her realize that she was so cold.
Cheng Jiqing raised his head.
Because of the surprise in the words, but also because of the trembling of the tone.
Cheng Jiqing looked at it for two seconds, took off his coat, and handed it over.
"Put it on."
There is no doubt about the tone, with a faint sense of oppression belonging to alpha.
Bai Xin stretched out his cold hand, Cheng Jiqing's warmth was still on the brown windbreaker, and the moment his fingertips touched it, he felt warm.
She pinched her clothes: "I'll tell you everything."
Cheng Jiqing's eyelashes moved, at this moment Bai Xin looked like a wet kitten hiding in his coat after being exposed to the rain, it had lost its sharp claws and became very obedient.
Seeing her take it, Cheng Jiqing let go of it.
Bai Xin put it on, as if he had a body temperature.
"The one who really has a relationship with XM is me." She looked extremely fragile, as if she would break if touched, but there was inexplicable firmness in her voice.
Like some kind of determination.
Cheng Jiqing glanced over the whitened and curly hands, and listened.
"Zhou Yushu and I met more than ten years ago, before my mother passed away. At that time, my mother had a piece of land in her hand..."
Ten minutes passed.
Bai Xin said: "A while ago it was also because of the Bai family, I wanted to deal with the matter as soon as possible..."
Bai Xin gradually told Cheng Jiqing the reason why he had been in contact with the Zhou family for more than ten years, and when he started planning.
Cheng Jiqing took a light breath after listening.
She thought about many possibilities, but she never thought that Bai Xin was the person behind XM.
But she didn't find it difficult to accept, and she never cared about these things.
For example, she cares about the fact that Bai Xin and Zhou Yushu are so close that they can wear two 'world's only' watches.
Cheng Jiqing asked: "We've known each other for more than ten years, so are you wearing the same watch?"
"This watch is a custom-made watch, in order to prevent danger...I don't know that Zhou Yushu ordered two at the beginning."
Bai Xin was wrapped in Cheng Jiqing's clothes, and there was a reassuring smell of Cheng Jiqing in her breath.
Suppress the depression and haze on her body deep in my heart. Cheng Jiqing's reaction made her uneasy, so that after the two missed calls, she resisted the impulse and did not go upstairs directly.
She was afraid that Cheng Jiqing really didn't want to see her, and she was afraid that she would be too aggressive and annoying, because her nature was not likable in the first place. Growing up, never was.
But she was never afraid that others would dislike her, except Cheng Jiqing.
So after the phone call, she sent Cheng Jiqing a wechat message.
She thought that if Cheng Jiqing really didn't come down, she would wait for a few hours before leaving.
Then... She didn't think about what happened next.
Because at that time, just thinking of Cheng Jiqing'doing not want to go downstairs to meet her', the bad nature in her bones had already developed the urge to grow - even if she hated her, she didn't want Cheng Jiqing to leave her.
"That day you came to Nanjing to find me, is that what you wanted to tell me?"
"yes."
Cheng Jiqing's thoughts went back to the meeting two days ago: "But you didn't come again."
When Bai Xin was weak, those eyebrows and eyes were the most touching.
Before anyone could say anything, Cheng Jiqing gave the answer: "Because you were shaken, right?"
It wasn't because she went up with Cheng Jing, it wasn't because she was angry at her words, it was because Bai Xin was shaken, so he didn't come again.
"Then why are you here again?" The beads on Cheng Jiqing's wrist fell on her legs, and she felt the coolness of the beads through her trousers. She said softly, "Because you found out that I chose you between the Cheng family and you."
Bai Xin's eardrums trembled, his heart trembled, he was frightened and guilty, and his heart was flustered by the straightforward dissected heart.
She could hear Cheng Jiqing's calmness and, disappointment.
Bai Xin stared at Cheng Jiqing, as if if he was not careful, Cheng Jiqing would leave immediately.
"Cheng Jiqing, I'm sorry."
Cheng Jiqing raised his hand and paused when it landed on the white jade bodhi. When she was upset, she would rely on the coolness to calm herself down.
"Don't be mad at me, okay?"
Cautiously coaxing tone.
It's been a long time.
Bai Xin straightened up slightly: "Cheng Jiqing, talk to me, don't keep talking."
Cheng Jiqing let out a breath slowly, she was just thinking about what to say.
After a while, Cheng Jiqing looked up into Bai Xin's beautiful eyes, and said slowly, "I'm not innocent either."
"My mistake is that I didn't tell you clearly when I realized that I cared—I want to know your confusion, your difficulties, what you need, and what your troubles are because of."
The fault is that she didn't tell Bai Xin every single word, she would be sad, angry, and hard to let go.
She often believes that people don't need to know everything when interacting with others, and that person will always tell her when he wants to.
But she forgot that obscurity and guesswork in relationships can hurt people.
So she is uncomfortable, and there is also an element of self-inflicted suffering.
But.
But after claiming her guilt, the remaining part became the sticking point that she couldn't let go of for a while.
"I believe that it is difficult for you to say these things today, and I understand you. But when I think about it, in the past few months, you have guarded me like a thief. You didn't say anything and kept everything in your heart. But he can fight side by side with Zhou Yushu."
"I thought, even if we are together, you still haven't fully believed in me, and if you don't believe me, I will help you..."
She was heartbroken, and she was inevitably angry and sad.
She needs a little time.
Because of the cold, Bai Xin wrapped his windbreaker around his body with his hands, sucking Cheng Jiqing's little warmth into his body.
She wanted to refute, if it was in the past, if it was another person, she could use many excuses, disguises and lies to refute.
But she didn't want to treat Cheng Jiqing like this.
Her voice came out almost at the same time as Cheng Jiqing's—
"I won't do it anymore..."
"Let's calm down for a few days."
