Chapter 27 Explaining Each Other



That memory once again flooded Si Mingchen's mind.

That afternoon, every word Wen Zhi said was very clear, and he even remembered his expression clearly.

After Wen Zhi blocked his contact information, he was unwilling to give up and kept looking for an opportunity to talk to Wen Zhi alone.

That day was Friday, and every grade was dismissed early. He mustered up the courage to go outside Wen Zhi's class and wandered around for a long time, but Wen Zhi didn't come out until everyone left.

Later, a kind-hearted classmate took the initiative to tell him that Wen Zhi was cleaning the auditorium and might be a little late.

He went straight to the auditorium, practicing countless ways to communicate with Wen Zhi on the way, but when he saw Wen Zhi and Sang Qi confessing their love, he was unable to utter a word.

If that confession was just an opera rehearsal, then why did Sang Qi show off Wen Zhi's confession to him?

There is only one reason, Sang Qi is lying.

For a moment, Si Mingchen had so many things he wanted to confirm with Wen Zhi or send someone to investigate, and his absent-minded look caused widespread discussion among netizens.

[Who can resist such a cute little thing? Wenwen is pretty and has a good personality, but Si Mingchen, don’t give her to me! ]

...

...

[Ahhh, is this a confession? Please answer me quickly, baby Wen, do you love me or not? ]

[It’s over. I knew these two were acting, but I took it seriously. ]

[Mr. Si seems very cautious. Will Wen Zhi take advantage of the show to confess his feelings again? ]

[Help me quickly, I don’t want to support this couple! I know it’s fake. ]

[Sisters mentioned above, don’t be so pessimistic. It’s not impossible that they really get together while acting! ]

Wen Zhi stood on the stage, looking at Si Mingchen who was lost in thought, feeling a little overwhelmed.

It’s over. Could it be that his beloved old man didn’t understand his hint?

Why does he look so bitter and resentful?

He sang in tune!

Wen Zhi couldn't wait and coughed lightly into the microphone.

Si Mingchen immediately raised his head and looked at Wen Zhi, hiding the shock and confusion in his eyes.

Wen Zhi on the stage held a folding fan in one hand and put the other hand behind his back, waiting for his response. Now is not the time to dwell on this matter.

Although Wen Zhi's expression was calm, his unintentional little movements still betrayed his true thoughts.

Si Mingchen faced everyone's gaze, slowly stood up, walked to the stage where Wen Zhi was singing Pingtan, and extended his hand to Wen Zhi.

The meaning of the invitation couldn't be more obvious.

Wen Zhi immediately put on a smile and handed his hand to Si Mingchen. Before he could say anything, Si Mingchen immediately put his arms around his waist and carried him down from the stage.

Although it was only two seconds, Wen Zhi's pupils still dilated slightly, with a shy look from a young boy. He raised his head and looked at Si Mingchen quietly.

His voice was very low: "Do you love me?"

Wen Zhi felt a little embarrassed when he asked this question, but he still waited for the result with a shy face.

He tried his best to live in a luxurious house.

[Ahhhh, straight ball baby is my favorite! ]

[Wen Zhi’s expression is so childish, is he really 27? ]

[Unlike Twenty-Seven, he is clearly a xxj who has never been in a relationship, and is ridiculously immature. ]

[Mr. Si has made a profit, hehe, baby Wenwen is waiting for you, come on! ]

At this moment, Sang Qi's expression was gloomy, with gloomy eyes, as if he was thinking. Jiang Xingnan next to them looked at the two of them intently, with envy in his eyes.

Facing Wen Zhi's straightforwardness, Si Mingchen said in a low voice: "Of course I love you."

A clear gong sound immediately rang out behind him.

The director team announced: "Congratulations to Wen Zhi for successfully completing the challenge and receiving 500,000 additional votes. At the same time, Jiang Xingnan failed the challenge."

[What? This is the mission…]

[Shit, I haven’t even started to eat and I’m already BE? ]?

[Wow, woo, woo, woo, Wen Zhi deceived my feelings, I’m going to make a fuss! ]

[So Wen Zhi’s mission is to confess? So what is Jiang Xingnan? ]

When the director announced the result, not only netizens were surprised, but Si Mingchen was too.

He asked Wen Zhi: "What is your mission?"

Wen Zhi told the truth: "Let you say you love me."

Si Mingchen understood, still holding Wen Zhi's hand, but he turned his gaze to Sang Qi and stared at him.

Sang Qi naturally noticed Si Mingchen's scrutiny. He remained calm and asked Jiang Xingnan, "What is your mission?"

This sentence was a bit stiff, and at the same time revealed Sang Qi's bad mood.

Jiang Xingnan: "Let's make a lotus cake together."

Unexpectedly, the task was so simple. Sang Qi said impatiently, "Then why didn't you tell me?"

Jiang Xingnan didn't say anything.

Arguing with Sang Qi in this situation would only make people laugh.

Sang Qi had a gloomy face. He finished the last cup of tea and turned to leave.

Wen Zhi looked at Jiang Xingnan: "Didn't it also say on your mission card that no one else can know about it?"

Jiang Xingnan nodded and left alone.

[Fuck, Sang Qi is such a jerk. ]

[If I remember correctly, Jiang Xingnan asked to make lotus cakes at least three times. ]

[you do not say! Sang Qi refused again and again, and when he lost he would just find fault with others. This kind of person is so disgusting. ]

[Compared with Wen Zhi’s task, Jiang Xingnan’s task was very simple, but he didn’t complete it? ? ]

Half an hour later, Wen Zhi and Si Mingchen arrived at the inn together and waited for the voting results.

During the chat, Wen Zhi learned that each group of guests had a task, but the content was different.

And he was the only one who completed the task.

Xie Jing's task is to make the other party kiss his eyes actively, and Chen Zheng's task is to make the other party call him husband.

Wen Zhi thought that if he were asked to complete these tasks, it might be difficult.

Soon, the voting results showed that Wen Zhi and Si Mingchen received 1.01w votes, ranking second, while He Qiongsi and Xie Jing received 1.2m votes, ranking first.

Wen Zhi felt a little disappointed, but he was still happy when he thought that they didn't have to live on the first floor.

Si Mingchen was worried that Wen Zhi was sad, so he gently rubbed his head with his palm: "The results are very unexpected, it's all thanks to you."

Suddenly, the number of votes on the screen changed, and the total number of votes for Wen Zhi and Si Mingchen immediately became 1.51w.

It turns out that the data just now is the initial data.

Wen Zhi looked at Si Mingchen's hand excitedly: "Si Si, we can live in the biggest house!"

Simingchen smiled gently: "Yeah."

Some were happy and some were worried. When Sang Qi saw that he and Jiang Xingnan only had 600,000 votes, his face looked very bad, especially when he saw the display picture of the first floor environment.

He participated in this variety show just to make things difficult for Si Mingchen, but he did not expect that his situation would suddenly become so bad.

He sent a message to his assistant, asking him how he found people to vote for them. The assistant hesitated and said something like that he didn't expect their vote number to be so low this time, and he had underestimated it when buying the tickets.

Everyone was carrying their luggage and preparing to check in.

Xie Jing called Wen Zhi: "Sure, Wen Zhi, remember to tell me how luxurious the environment on the top floor is."

Wen Zhi nodded: "No problem."

Although he already knew the environment on the top floor in advance, Wen Zhi still smiled with his eyes curved when he stepped into the room.

This kind of satisfaction from the bottom of my heart is not only about living in a big house, but also about Si Mingchen's words "I love you".

The top floor is very large and is decorated in a neo-Chinese style. The sofas and chairs are very comfortable. Wen Zhi was so happy lying on them that he almost fainted.

Ever since Wen Zhi lost his memory, Si Mingchen could always see unprecedented enthusiasm on Wen Zhi's face, and this positive attitude also continued to infect him.

"Have fun, I'll go pack my bags."

Just as Si Mingchen was about to leave, Wen Zhi stopped him, "Let me go with you. You've been working too hard."

Simingchen joked, "You are a small hero, I will reward you tonight."

Wen Zhi's expression changed slightly.

He didn't want this kind of reward.

You can try that kind of reward.

Since today is the first episode of this journey, the program team began to provide basic supplies.

According to the rules, Wen Zhi will select the supplies from top to bottom first.

With the experience from last time, Wen Zhi learned to be prepared for danger in times of peace, fearing that this time would be the same as last time, with the two of them sharing the spoils equally.

There were plenty of supplies, including warm bedding, electrical appliances for heating meals, some fruits, vegetables and bread, and warm pajamas.

After Wen Zhi counted the items on the top floor, he found that he had everything he needed.

The only thing that made him dissatisfied was that the bed he and Si Mingchen slept on was made of pure solid wood, and the cotton mattress was relatively thin, which was not very friendly to people who were used to sleeping on soft beds.

The staff member in charge of transporting supplies reminded him: "You can take the bedding away and use it under you."

Wen Zhi thought of the poor living conditions downstairs and shook his head gently: "The living conditions downstairs are already bad this time. What will happen to others if I take it away?"

In the end, he only took out a deck of playing cards for his and Si Mingchen's entertainment.

[Wen Zhiren is really good. ]

[When we distributed supplies last time, Wen Zhi and Si Mingchen were at the bottom, right? I remember no one in the upper floors considered him. ]

[Last time, everyone was frantically taking things, and no one considered the people below. ]

[Perhaps because he has been caught in the rain, Wen Zhi also hopes to hold an umbrella for others. ]

It was already ten o'clock in the evening. After Si Mingchen packed their luggage, he called Wen Zhi to take a shower and go to bed.

He was distracted by that matter and didn't even notice Wen Zhi approaching him.

"Sisi, thank you for your hard work. You are so virtuous."

Si Mingchen reacted for a moment, turned around and said, "Go take a shower, I'm going to go out for a while."

Wen Zhi: "Where are you going? I'll go with you."

Si Mingchen said in a firm tone: "No, I'll be back soon. There's a strong wind warning outside today, and the temperature is very cold, you wait here for me."

Wen Zhi had no choice but to agree obediently.

On the first floor, Jiang Xingnan and Sang Qi also received their supplies, a set of thick bedding and some fruits and vegetables.

Sang Qi has been unhappy since entering the house. Although he no longer blames Jiang Xingnan, his cold attitude really makes Jiang Xingnan uncomfortable.

The conditions in the house are very poor. Although I can take a shower, it is easy to catch a cold because there is no heating appliance.

Sang Qi spread the only set of bedding on the stone bed, suddenly kicked it hard, and cursed a few dirty words.

Jiang Xingnan stood aside, with his head down in silence, without saying a word.

"The thickness of the quilts was a little thin, so I folded them a bit."

Sang Qi lit a cigarette and stared at Jiang Xingnan with an unhappy expression.

The original 1.5m mattress, when folded in half, only leaves 0.75m, barely enough for one person to lie down.

Jiang Xingnan understood Sang Qi's intention and took the initiative to say, "It's okay, I'll spread out the clothes in the suitcase."

Sang Qi responded, took off his shoes and lay down on it.

"You are not very popular as the best actor. Why are there so few people voting for you?"

Sang Qi closed his eyes and tried to attribute the fact that they had the lowest number of votes to Jiang Xingnan's popularity.

Jiang Xingnan said in a low voice: "I've been away from the entertainment industry for so long, it's not easy for someone to still remember and like me."

Sang Qi sneered and threw the cigarette butt at Jiang Xingnan's feet: "Throw it in the trash can."

Jiang Xingnan bent down slightly, walked out of this suffocating room under the pretext of throwing away the garbage, and went out to get some fresh air.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Sang Qi asked: "Who?"

Si Mingchen: "Come out, I have something to talk to you about."

Sang Qi was a little surprised by Si Mingchen's visit.

I didn't expect that after so many years, Si Mingchen still remembered what Wen Zhi said in the auditorium.

Sang Qi said lazily, "Xingnan and I are asleep. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

Standing outside the door, Siming Chen did not intend to give Sang Qi a chance to delay: "I'll say this one last time, come out immediately."

Sang Qi ignored him: "It's up to you."

With a "bang", a hole was kicked out of the simple wooden door, and the old door was shaky and creaking.

Sang Qi stood up immediately: "Si Mingchen, are you crazy? No matter what, I am still your cousin."

Si Mingchen's face looked extremely bad, his gloomy eyes were terribly cold, and he stared at Sang Qi.

Sang Qi had already gotten out of bed, put on his coat and smiled: "It's so late, what do you want from me?"

Si Mingchen said with a stern face: "Sang Qi, Wen Zhi never confessed his love to you back then."

Sang Qi pretended not to understand: "What do you mean? I didn't understand a word you said."

Si Mingchen's expression was cold: "Since Wen Zhi didn't confess to you, then what you said before I left the country was a lie."

Sang Qi still maintained his smile: "Cousin, it seems that after all these years, you are still brooding over the relationship between me and Wen Zhi. Why do you do this? You have been married for four years——"

Sang Qi stopped talking and looked behind Si Mingchen quietly: "Are you worried about me, or do you distrust Wen Zhi? Or do you suspect that we are still connected?"

Si Mingchen suddenly smiled contemptuously: "Still connected? What I suspect now is that Wen Zhi rejected my confession for some other reason, and you took advantage of the situation. It's not certain whether Wen Zhi loved you or not."

Sang Qi's clenched fist suddenly loosened: "If thinking this way can make you feel better, then think this way."

Si Mingchen had long been accustomed to Sang Qi's tricks, and said bluntly: "If deceiving yourself can make you, a loser, immersed in the fantasy you created, you can continue."

Sang Qi looked gloomy: "Who do you say is the loser?"

Si Mingchen: "We all know who is who."

Sang Qi suddenly smiled: "Mingchen, you know that Wen Zhi has lost his memory now. Uncle Wen showed me Wen Zhi's case history. The doctor said that Wen Zhi had memory confusion and emotional migration during his amnesia. Aren't you afraid that Wen Zhi's love for you now is just a wrong expression of emotion? After all, it is a fact that Wen Zhi and I were in love, and you were just given a love that I didn't want from the beginning to the end."

With a "bang", Sang Qi fell to the ground.

Jiang Xingnan, who was behind Si Mingchen, looked panicked and quickly ran to Sang Qi to stop Si Mingchen to prevent him from attacking again.

Sang Qi spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, looking smug: "Did I touch your sore spot? My past with Wen Zhi is real and can never be erased."

Si Ming walked to his side quietly, staring at him: "Whether Wen Zhi likes me or not, I know it in my heart, and it is not your turn to question it. Your flaws have been exposed, so you must hide them carefully. Otherwise, if I find any clues, you will suffer a lot."

Finally, Si Mingchen glanced at Jiang Xingnan who was protecting Sang Qi, and left quickly.

Looking at Si Mingchen's back, Sang Qi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with disdain and stood up in embarrassment.

Jiang Xingnan looked at him blankly: "You and Wen Zhi were together before."

Sang Qi said unhappily: "What's wrong? Is it not possible?"

Jiang Xingnan took a deep breath, his eyes instantly reddened: "You only told me that you had a crush on Wen Zhi, and you treated Si Mingchen very well. But Si Mingchen took advantage of the time when you were away to snatch Wen Zhi away."

Sang Qi wiped the corner of his mouth: "Am I wrong?"

Jiang Xingnan frowned: "But you didn't tell me that you were with Wen Zhi, and you still loved him so much."

Sang Qi smiled and said, "These are all past events. Are they that important?"

Jiang Xingnan: "If it's not important, why do you care so much? You even showed up to participate in this variety show with me. Are you really just here to accompany me? Or is it just to satisfy your strong desire for revenge and not want Si Mingchen and Wen Zhi to have an easy life?"

Sang Qi said coldly: "Jiang Xingnan, if you don't want to be with me, let's break up immediately. You know, I hate these messy entanglements the most."

Jiang Xingnan didn't say anything this time, but he didn't stay in the bedroom either. He left alone.

As soon as Si Mingchen opened the door after returning, he was immediately rushed into the arms. Wen Zhi smelled very good and was very warm, which instantly dispelled the coldness from Si Mingchen's body.

Simingchen hugged Wen Zhi and said with his head down, "Why don't you sleep?"

Wen Zhi smiled and said, "Wait for you to come back."

Wen Zhi originally wanted to hold Si Mingchen's hand and go into the house, but suddenly found something unusual.

The skin on Si Mingchen's right hand fingers was broken and bleeding.

"What's going on?"

Wen Zhi hurriedly took out the medicine box and prepared to bandage Si Mingchen in a hurry.

Si Mingchen comforted him: "Don't worry, it's just an ordinary injury."

Wen Zhi obviously didn't hear this sentence, and was still nervously disinfecting Si Mingchen and putting a Band-Aid on him.

Si Ming sat on the sofa, staring at Wen Zhi quietly.

From his perspective, Wen Zhi's eyelashes were very long, which trembled slightly when she worked hard, and her lips were shaped like flowers.

The past four years of marriage life flooded into Si Mingchen's thoughts like a tide.

On the day he signed the divorce agreement, he felt that the years he had spent with Wen Zhi were like bitter almonds. Although there was a hint of sweetness, the aftertaste was mostly full of bitterness.

He now regretted not mentioning Sang Qi to Wen Zhi before he lost his memory. In this way, no matter what the real situation is, he can feel relieved.

But at that time, he was always worried about the unrequited love in his youth. The sensitivity and caution after being rejected continued to erode his courage, and made him avoid the word Sang Qi like the plague.

He thought that if they didn't mention Sang Qi, they could pretend that these things had never happened, but in fact these two words had become his inner demon, and his inferiority complex could never be shaken off.

Now, Si Mingchen felt somewhat relieved.

Maybe it started from the moment Sang Qi began to deceive himself, thinking that Wen Zhi liked him because of his disordered memory and the wrong emotional placement.

It turned out that Sang Qi was very afraid and didn't want to face the fact that Wen Zhi really liked him.

I'm afraid that the lies Sang Qi told him at the beginning were also a complete scam.

Si Mingchen suddenly chuckled, mocking his own cowardice and forbearance.

"Sisi, what are you laughing at?"

Wen Zhi raised his eyes and looked at him in confusion.

Si Mingchen held Wen Zhi in his arms and told him about his inner demons for many years: "Azhi, I want to tell you something."

Wen Zhi immediately put away the tools in his hands and prepared to listen carefully.

Si Mingchen tried his best to keep his voice down and calm himself down: "Sang Qi told me that you dated him."

Wen Zhi's eyes widened immediately: "I dated Sang Qi? How is that possible? I don't like him at all."

Si Mingchen said in a very light voice: "Yes, I know."

Wen Zhi finally understood why Si Mingchen always made Sang Qi the object of jealousy. It turned out that he had this secret in his heart.

"I swear, I—"

Wen Zhi couldn't remember what happened after high school. Just as he was about to swear, he felt a little guilty.

"I definitely won't be with Sang Qi. He's so ugly and I'm obsessed with looks. Besides, I'm loyal to you, so how could I fall in love with someone else?"

Si Mingchen smiled and hugged Wen Zhi again: "Yes, I know."

Wen Zhi was very angry about Sang Qi's lie. His brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

"He said he dated me. Does he have any evidence? Does he know where the mole is on my butt? Does he know where the birthmark is on my stomach? Does he know that I—"

"Stop talking." Si Ming said in a deep voice with a hint of complexity, "I don't seem to understand what you are talking about."

Wen Zhi: "Of course you don't know, because I don't have any of these."

Si Mingchen was suddenly amused, and said in an intriguing voice: "No wonder, otherwise I would have thought that the person I have been holding in my arms every day for the past four years was someone else."

The atmosphere between the two gradually became ambiguous, and their breaths were intertwined and long.

Unconsciously, Wen Zhi had sat on Si Mingchen's lap, his forehead resting on his chest, his Adam's apple rolling quietly.

Now should be a time when one's mind is distracted, but Wen Zhi is always disturbed by Sang Qi's matter.

He simply couldn't convince himself that he had actually dated Sang Qi.

He asked, "Si Si, what if, I mean what if. I really dated Sang Qi, would you dislike me and stop loving me?"

Si Mingchen tapped his forehead and said, "No." Seeing Wen Zhi's disbelief, he explained again, "Sang Qi told me about this before you married me. If I minded, why would I marry you?"

Wen Zhi hesitated for a moment: "Then why don't you mind at all? Normally, shouldn't you be jealous and angry?"

Si Mingchen: "Of course I'll be jealous. But compared to being jealous, angry or bothered, the most important thing to me is that you can marry me. Other things seem so insignificant compared to him."

Wen Zhi looked at Si Mingchen's gentle and calm eyes, and his voice became smaller and smaller: "After you returned to China, our family became increasingly destitute. The main reason why you were willing to marry into our family was also because--"

Wen Zhi's guess was about to come out.

Si Mingchen: "Because of you."

At this moment, Wen Zhi curled her fingers slightly, mustered up the courage to ask: "Si Si, if you like me so much, why did you agree to sign the divorce agreement?"
