After seven years together, Tang An and Chi Ying finally had enough of each other.
Tang An thought: Chi Ying is a toxic control freak; after we divorce, he'll immediately find his 'wh...
Chapter 21
Tang An was silent for a moment in suspicion.
Roy, who was standing next to him, asked tactlessly, "I thought I heard someone calling you?"
Tang An: “…”
Who the hell has such a long name with a prefix!!!
I really don’t have time to make trouble with others!
Tang An looked in the direction of the sound and saw a little boy of seven or eight years old wearing distinctive ethnic costumes, skipping towards him and shouting loudly as he walked:
"Tang An, the guy with the nice butt—Chi Ying said he's looking for you—"
Now Roy heard the prefix clearly. He covered his mouth in surprise and his eyes slowly moved down, accurately landing on Tang An's superior waist and hip line wrapped in slim pants.
The veins on Tang An's forehead jumped. He took a deep breath, strode up to the little boy, and covered his mouth as he was about to cast another spell.
"Where is Chi Ying?" Tang An lowered his voice with a hint of gritted teeth.
The little boy blinked his innocent eyes and looked up and down at the handsome but dark-faced young man in front of him: "Are you... Tang An with the perky butt?"
“…”
Tang An managed to squeeze out two words from between his teeth: "...I am."
The little boy immediately revealed an expression of "Great, we've found the real culprit!" He grabbed Tang An's wrist and eagerly tried to drag him forward: "Follow me! Chi Ying needs your help!"
Hearing the words "need help", Tang An's body, which had been resisting, instantly relaxed.
He hurriedly made a "something's wrong" gesture to Roy, and was dragged away by the little boy, asking questions like a machine gun as he walked: "What's wrong with him? What happened? Is he injured? Where did you see him?..."
The little boy looked up, his eyes innocent yet cunning: "Chi Ying said that as long as I find you, I will tell you this."
Tang An: “…”
Damn it.
The little boy opened his tiny palm, and in his palm lay a round little golden bean, gleaming alluringly in the sunlight. "Chi Ying also said that if I bring you to him, he'll give me another one of these... Am said this sparkling little stone can be exchanged for lots of candy!"
Tang An glanced at the golden bean: "Oh? I have one too, and it's bigger than his."
The little boy's eyes instantly widened like bells: "How old?"
Tang An gestured calmly, "His pill weighs at most one gram, and mine weighs two grams."
The little boy's eyes rolled, his little abacus clacking, and he immediately reached out his hand: "Chi Ying is in the patriarch's yard, with Jinpo's half-blood grandson!"
Tang An raised his eyebrows: "And then?"
The little boy spread out his hands, the meaning was self-evident.
Tang An smiled and took out a small bottle from his inner pocket.
The bottle was filled with the little yellow thing. He poured out one and placed it in the little boy's hand. "And then? How did he go there?"
The little boy smiled brightly, and put the golden beans into the small cloth bag at his waist like a treasure, and said crisply: "Because the Saint has taken a fancy to Chi Ying!"
Tang An paused, "...Are you sure?!"
The little boy didn't answer, but just pulled him forward with all his strength.
Ten minutes later, he stopped outside a beautiful courtyard and pointed inside: "Here, go in and ask yourself."
Tang An looked up and saw two familiar figures standing in the yard.
A man with Chi Ying's face, but wearing a suit with very ethnic characteristics, was standing there with a look of despair. Next to him was He Chenzhou, who had changed back into his elite boss style.
An absurd sense of dislocation rushed into Tang An's head.
He strode in with a cold face and was about to ask what was going on, but Chi Ying's eyes suddenly burst into amazing light as if he had seen a savior.
"husband--!!!!"
A call that was so contrived and loud that it reached the sky resounded throughout the courtyard.
Immediately afterwards, the 1.88-meter-tall man rushed towards Tang An with lightning speed, threw himself into his arms, and buried his face in his chest.
Warm breath sprayed on the side of his neck, and Chi Ying gnashed his teeth in a very low voice, so that only Tang An could hear: "Where have you been, ancestor! If you are any later, I will be caught by this pervert and married!!!"
The air suddenly became as quiet as a chicken.
Tang An raised his head stiffly, and inevitably met the eyes of the tall beauty at the other end of the yard, who was wearing a gorgeous long dress, delicate makeup and red lips.
The beauty covered her mouth and chuckled, then turned her head and whispered a few words to He Chenzhou beside her.
He Chenzhou walked over with a complicated expression: "Xiaoyu said she doesn't mind marrying two."
Tang An: “…”
Chi Ying, who had buried her head in her chest and pretended to be dead, suddenly looked up: "Husband, say something, husband!!!"
Tang An: "...I'll let it go."
Chi Ying narrowed his eyes: "What about me?"
Tang An kicked the man over and said, "I don't think you exist anymore."
Chi Ying couldn't help but curse: "...Fuck."
What exactly happened? It all starts when Chi Ying lost Tang An.
The village is built on the mountain, and the paths are winding like a maze.
Chi Ying was only two steps slower, and when he looked up, Tang An's figure disappeared among the stacked stone and wooden houses.
He could only walk back dejectedly, and on the way he met a little boy who was climbing a tree to pick wild apples.
After a friendly exchange, the little boy agreed to help find someone, and then Chi Ying found a tree stump to sit down and called Tang An on his phone.
Naturally, the other party didn't answer.
He was feeling very depressed, and there happened to be a flower at his feet, so he picked it and began to count the petals one by one.
"It's Tang An's fault, it's my fault, it's Tang An's fault, it's my fault..."
Just like this, the last petal falls——
"My fault."
Chi Ying suddenly felt that this broken flower was not accurate at all!
He reached out to pick the second flower.
At this moment, a hand with distinct joints and painted with light pink nail polish, holding a blooming camellia, was handed to him.
"This one has seven petals." A voice, neither male nor female, sounded in the quiet forest.
Chi Ying was startled and looked up suddenly.
In front of me is a beautiful woman with a one-sided braid and a crown of fresh flowers on her head.
The sunlight shone on her through the leaves. Her skin was whiter than snow, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and her temperament was holy and otherworldly. She looked a bit like the enlightenment goddess in his hard drive, but she had an extra divinity that was otherworldly than the goddess.
Chi Ying's heart skipped a beat, and Tang An's words "Who didn't have a first love when they were young——" instantly echoed in his mind.
Sadly, he had never met anyone he could call his first love before he met Tang An. Unexpectedly, in this remote village, he actually bumped into his ideal type?!
no! !
Ji Young's mind screamed.
I can't cheat!!!
Mental infidelity is also infidelity!!
I can't let Tang An down!!
I am a family man!!!
But another voice was tempting. When Tang An was with him, wasn't Su He also in his heart? Why can't I...
Whatever! With that thought, Chi Ying was about to cough a few times and prepare to speak, but he saw the beautiful girl in front of him stand up, and then lift up her long skirt very naturally.
Chi Ying subconsciously turned his back like a gentleman.
After a while, the sound of water hitting the ground, which was very familiar to him and felt very distant, was audible and belonged to a male.
Chi Ying's blood instantly froze.
Driven by strong curiosity, he twisted the wheel inch by inch...
Then the beauty let down her skirt and turned around. In the gap between the skirts that had not yet fallen completely, one could catch a glimpse of a bulging outline that clearly did not belong to a woman.
"?"
“???”
“???”
Ji Ying turned and ran almost instantly.
Ahhhhhh, hubby, save me! There’s a perverted man pretending to be a girl here!!!!!!!
After listening to Chi Ying's exaggerated description, Tang An looked at him silently, his eyes full of speechlessness.
"...You deserve it." Tang An said coldly.
If this sister or brother was a woman, Chi Ying might just tear up the marriage certificate and run away with him.
He felt very uncomfortable.
Men.
Chi Ying was in the wrong, and for once she didn't defend herself with a defiant look on her face like she used to, but she still muttered to herself, "If a man who looked like Daniel Wu appeared before you right now, you might be even worse than me..."
Tang An's eyes swept over and said coldly: "I'm not deaf."
Chi Ying shut up instantly.
However, what shocked these two people, including He Chenzhou, was that Xiaoyu, who was revered as a "saint," was actually a genuine male?! The customs of the Shenshan tribe were too wild!
Just at this time, Roy also came over.
He Chenzhou, who had been trying to keep a low profile, suddenly brightened up when he saw the newcomer: "Roy..."
Roy glanced at him with a cold attitude: "What happened?"
He was lost for a long time and was brought here only after he bribed the little boy playing with golden beans with the ruby ring on his hand. Unexpectedly, he ran into He Chenzhou again.
He Chenzhou walked quickly to him, with a hint of imperceptible eagerness and flattery: "I want to tell you that I don't have to marry anyone else."
Roy asked in confusion, "Why?"
The joy on He Chenzhou's face froze instantly, his eyes dimmed, and his voice was filled with hurt and self-mockery: "...Shouldn't you be happy? Why do you only care about why..."
He seemed to suddenly realize that he had lost his composure, and quickly forced a smile, muttering, "Sorry, I forgot. You are just like that. This is not your fault, it's my own problem."
He Chenzhou's mumbling appearance was not normal.
At least Tang An and Chi Ying could feel it.
They looked at each other and saw a hint of sympathy in each other's eyes, and then they both mentally agreed that they were indeed warm and loving people.
He Chenzhou: “…”
What do you two mean? I am not blind!!!
He glanced at Chi Ying and said without hesitation: "Xiao Yu likes Chi Ying and wants to marry her."
These words woke Tang An up, who had almost forgotten about this matter.
He glanced at Chi Ying with a forced smile.
Chi Ying: “…”
I am a dog.
Woof woof.
Roy was very supportive. He let out a wow and looked at Chi Ying with sparkling eyes. "Have you discussed this with Tang An? What are your thoughts? I heard from Xiao Zhou earlier that there were problems in your marriage."
Tang An and Chi Ying: "..."
So gossipy! Why can they be so gossipy???
The atmosphere among the few people was weird.
Xiaoyu, who had been left alone to watch the show for a long time, finally joined the group chat with a smile: "I don't mind three people."
'She' walked over with light steps, her long skirt swaying gracefully, like a fluttering butterfly, and stopped directly in front of Tang An.
Xiaoyu was about the same height as Chi Ying. She leaned slightly closer to Tang An. Her upturned peach blossom eyes were as deep as a pool, and looking at them for a long time seemed to be captivating.
"I find I quite like you too." Her voice was uniquely magnetic. "You have a wonderful scent, reminding me of the scent of the sacred tree on the sacred mountain."
Tang An was slightly stunned.
He was about to speak when Chi Ying, like a mother hen protecting her chicks, suddenly pulled Tang An behind her and glared at Xiao Yu: "Bigamy is against the law, don't you know? My wife is a lawyer! Be careful, she'll sue you and bankrupt you!!"
Xiaoyu nodded suddenly, her smile growing even brighter. "Then you can get a divorce first! Then, according to the customs of our Shenshan tribe, the three of us can be together openly!"
Tang An rubbed his temples with a headache: "Sorry, we were just passing by, no intention..."
Chi Ying immediately chimed in: "Yes! We're leaving right now! We can't stay in this damn place for even a second!!"
Xiaoyu raised her hand with a smile, pointing in the direction of the village entrance. "The rocks blocking the road will take at least two days to remove, and it's getting dark soon. Tomorrow is our Shenshan tribe's most grand annual worship day. Wouldn't it be best if we stayed and participated before leaving?"
Tang An was about to decline, but she said, "Maybe you'll find the answer you've been looking for if you stay."
Tang An fell silent for a moment.
Chi Ying saw that something was wrong and immediately whispered devilishly: "Don't forget we still have that 10 million... Don't be deceived by this pervert..."
Tang An's lawyer quickly weighed the options and ultimately concluded, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket."
He had a plan in mind, and with an impeccable business smile on his face, he extended his hand to Xiaoyu: "It's my honor."
No matter whether the cat is black or white, a good cat is one that can catch mice.
There was no way out at the moment anyway, and that strong sixth sense was urging me to stay. Perhaps a miracle would happen...
The mountain breeze blew Xiaoyu's hair, and her pair of crescent eyes smiled at them.
For some reason, Tang An suddenly felt a little unsure.
He smiled at Xiaoyu.
should……
Is that okay?
