Chapter 52 After the rain, scold once and kiss once.
It had just rained last night and the ground was wet. Chen Cheng was standing in the grass and his trousers and legs were covered in mud. I guess his shoes were also wet.
She remained motionless, staring quietly at the absurd scene before her.
"Xiaocheng, did you... hear everything?" Cheng Hezhu let go of Song Jili's collar, took a few steps forward, and didn't know where to put her hands. She put them behind her back awkwardly, looking at Chen Cheng anxiously, observing her expression.
Chen Cheng's gaze slowly moved and fell on Song Jili.
Then, she walked over quickly, grabbed his sleeve, ignored Cheng Hezhu who was hesitant to speak, and walked away.
After walking ten meters, Chen Cheng stopped, hesitated for a few seconds, and let go of Song Jili's hand.
She took out her cell phone, typed a line of words quickly, turned around and walked in front of Cheng Hezhu, putting her hands in front of her.
When Cheng Hezhu read the memo, the color on her face gradually disappeared, her eyes instantly turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Chen Cheng didn't stay any longer, walked back to Song Jili, and turned away with him resolutely.
Back in the RV, Chen Cheng pushed Song Jili onto the sofa, held his face, and pulled it left and right to check for injuries.
"No harm." Song Jili held Chen Cheng's slender wrist, not willing to let go, playing with it and squeezing it again and again.
Chen Cheng pulled his hand back and sat down on the sofa opposite him in annoyance.
Unable to bear it any longer, she angrily gestured: If she rushed at you, wouldn't you dodge? Who knows if she was just trying to grab your collar to warn you, or if she had some bad intentions, what if she was carrying a weapon?
"I've practiced before, and I'm not afraid of close combat."
Song Jili's original intention was to reassure Chen Cheng, but after saying this, Chen Cheng became even more excited.
Chen Cheng was anxious: What if? Accidents can happen at any time.
"Little Orange." Song Jili walked up to Chen Cheng, lowered his body, put his hands on the armrests on both sides, and leaned closer.
Chen Cheng kept moving backwards, getting as close as possible to the inside, and putting some distance between himself and him.
With her shoulders pressed against the sofa, she had no way to retreat and could only meet his teasing gaze.
He moved a little closer, and Chen Cheng raised his hand, not knowing where to push, so he gently placed it on his chest, signaling him not to come any closer.
Every time this happened, Song Jili would pull her hand away and move closer, as if he didn't understand her movements.
until--
Breathe, entangled together.
The sight is lingering again.
"Are you worried about me?" Song Jili asked in a low voice.
Before Chen Cheng answered, he changed his tone to affirmative: "You must be particularly worried about me."
After he finished speaking, he raised the corners of his lips and gave her a dandy smile, which made her heart skip a beat.
Chen Cheng did not deny it, and gestured: Then why are you still doing dangerous things?
"Are you angry after hearing those words?" Song Jili avoided her questioning and touched her fair cheek.
Chen Cheng pursed his lips, knitted his brows together slightly, and asked him: Which sentence should I be angry about?
She followed them to the RV and heard the entire conversation between Song Jili and Cheng Hezhu. Her emotions fluctuated, but she was not angry until the last sentence, when she could no longer bear it and stood up to express her position.
"I hid the Shen family's affairs from you." Song Jili admitted it voluntarily.
Chen Cheng shook his head: You also said that it is not something you can control. It is not surprising that the Shen family would take action. I...actually I am quite happy, because it means that they still recognize me as a member of the family. We will still protect each other and maintain basic decency, which is good.
Although Chen Aoshuang is gone and she has only a superficial relationship with the other members of the Shen family, that is the family that gave her a second life. She cannot say that she particularly likes it, but she will respect every family member and do her duty to repay them for their upbringing.
Living in peace and supporting each other, this is the best ending for her and the Shen family in this life.
Song Jili touched Chen Cheng's head.
Suddenly I felt that he was too narrow-minded and didn't think as clearly as the little girl.
He also underestimated Chen Cheng. She has her own judgment.
Know right from wrong and understand the truth.
"What did you say to Cheng Hezhu?"
He hesitated about how to ask. Chen Cheng must have heard Cheng Hezhu's last sentence, which was considered as her personal acknowledgement of their mother-daughter relationship.
Chen Cheng shrugged nonchalantly: It's just a trivial matter, not worth talking about.
Outside the door, Lin Fangxian shouted that dinner was ready, and Chen Cheng took the opportunity to make an excuse to run away.
Chen Cheng changed the subject very abruptly: I'm hungry and want to eat barbecue.
He quickly stood up and walked out, fearing that if he stayed for another second, he would be caught and questioned again.
Before Song Jili could react, she ran away, faster than a rabbit.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the cell phone that Chen Cheng had left on the corner of the sofa.
I don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing to not carry a mobile phone with me.
Driven by curiosity, he took the phone and unlocked it with his fingerprint.
When they got married last year, Song Jili let Chen Cheng record his fingerprints and facial recognition on his phone. Chen Cheng was a little shy towards him at that time and almost agreed to his every request.
He trusted her, so she definitely trusted him too, and recorded his fingerprints and face on her phone.
They never check each other's phones. This time, Song Jili really wanted to know what cruel words Chen Cheng could say and how much damage they could cause. Cheng Hezhu actually cried after seeing it.
After unlocking, the page you were previously on will pop up.
Still in the memo.
It read: "Ms. Cheng, please be careful about your attitude towards my husband. I think you have misunderstood. I am a native of Beijing North. My parents died in a car accident when I was very young. My grandparents raised me and I was later adopted by the Shen family. Moreover, I was born in spring and your daughter was born in autumn. We can't be the same person. Please don't bother me anymore. I don't want to have anything to do with you. If you keep bothering me, it will make it very difficult for me in both the Shen and Song families."
Song Jili couldn't help but smile.
The little girl lied.
It was sown for him.
Chen Cheng realized that his phone had fallen and pushed the door open to go into the house.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw the phone in front of his, rushed forward to snatch it, and glared at him: How can you look at other people's phones!
"If I didn't look, how would I know? My wife has started lying for me." Song Jili raised his cell phone high, just like the tall boys in his class when he was a student and liked to tease his female classmates.
Chen Cheng tried his best to stand on tiptoe, but his balance was unstable and he staggered forward a few steps.
Song Jili placed his big hand on her waist, pulled her into his arms, bent down and kissed her cheek, then put the phone into her coat pocket and closed the pocket considerately.
"It can be seen that our baby likes me very much."
The man spoke in a wild and unrestrained tone, and her face suddenly turned red.
"Don't you like it?" he asked.
Chen Cheng widened his eyes and cursed him with mouth language: Shameless.
I secretly complained in my heart, how can an old man still talk about likes and love all the time, isn't he ashamed?
Song Jili kissed her, bit her lip mischievously, pulled away a little and said, "Swear once, and I'll give you a kiss."
Chen Cheng pursed her lips, thinking that this guy was so bad, he just loved to tease her.
"Baby, I'm telling the truth."
Suddenly——
The man's voice became quieter, and he said softly and tenderly, "I like you very much."
They hugged, kissed, cuddled, and even did the most intimate things, but this was the first time he made a serious and heartfelt confession.
Chen Cheng felt that all the noise around him disappeared, and at this moment all his attention was on the man in front of him.
Inside my chest, a heart was beating loudly, silently responding to this confession.
"I like it very much." He smiled and leaned down to kiss her eyes, nose and lips.
Like raindrops, falling bit by bit——
She was drenched in love, drowning in it.
They exchanged a long kiss.
Chen Cheng responded to him by imitating the way he kissed her.
Marrying someone you love is like bathing in the sunshine on a spring afternoon. Your whole body feels warm and there is a light sweetness in the air.
Song Jili suddenly buried his head in her neck, rubbed it for a while, and remained motionless.
The car was quiet, and I heard him curse: "Fuck... I really want to do it with you once."
Her voice was low and hoarse, and it seemed that her patience had reached its limit. However, she didn't want anyone to notice that something was wrong with her, so she endured it.
After hearing the explicit words, Chen Cheng dropped her hands to her sides obediently, allowing Song Jili to hug her and rub her neck and chest.
He was suppressing the restlessness in his body, and she couldn't respond.
I was ignorant before and patted his shoulder soothingly. Later that day, they did not go out or even get out of bed, and the quarrel lasted until one o'clock in the morning.
"Xiao Cheng, dinner is ready."
"Aji, what's wrong with you? Take Xiaocheng out for dinner!"
Lin Fangxian knocked on the door twice and called the two people in two different tones.
Chen Cheng suddenly pushed Song Jili away, grabbed him by the collar, and stared at him, as if he had just done something unforgivable.
Song Jili stood up without changing his expression, took the long coat beside him and put it on to cover the awkward position.
Lin Fangxian, who was outside the door, was afraid that they had fallen asleep, so she knocked on the door a few more times.
Chen Cheng went out first.
It's better for them not to stay together for the time being.
Song Jili found Liang Yanling, and the two went to communicate with the program crew. All shots related to the Liao family were not suitable for broadcast, and they asked the program crew to delete them all.
The director also knew the seriousness of the situation and even showed them the master tape.
Chen Cheng sat next to the stove, and her eyes met with Cheng Hezhu who was sitting not far away. She wanted to open her mouth several times, but Chen Cheng immediately turned her head away, not wanting to pay any attention.
He was somewhat soft-hearted towards Cheng Hezhu because of their blood relationship and never said anything harsh to her. But when he heard her cursing Song Jili, he could no longer pretend nothing had happened. He took a big step back and kept a distance at all times.
Lin Fangxian also glanced over and felt that Cheng Hezhu's pitiful look was unpleasant to the eyes, and she also didn't like people who would show off at any time.
She picked up some food for Chen Cheng and said, "Ignore them and enjoy our barbecue dinner. You should try it. Your father is a pretty good barbecue chef."
Chen Cheng gave Lin Fangxian a friendly smile, lowered his head and quietly started eating the meat.
Lin Fangxian looked at Chen Cheng's obedient appearance, and her heart softened. She touched her head and said, "Mom really wants to have a lady like you."
Pretty and well-behaved, just like a porcelain doll.
"Mom, don't think about it. I'm not interested in orthopedics for the time being, and I don't want to be abandoned by my friends just because I like my sister." Song Jili sat down, circled Chen Cheng into his territory, and declared his sovereignty.
Lin Fangxian was speechless: "Mom, can't you just express your feelings a few words?"
"No." Song Jili raised his chin slightly, "My wife is mine, and she will be mine for the rest of my life."
Lin Fangxian rubbed her arms. If it weren’t for the camera, she would have really wanted to show a disgusted expression.
You are such a busybody!
Chen Cheng couldn't stand it anymore, so he covered Song Jili's mouth and warned him using sign language: Stop talking nonsense.
"Where did I talk nonsense?" Song Jili asked.
Chen Cheng looked at him seriously: Don’t argue with your mother.
Song Jili pinched Chen Cheng's face and said, "After eating Dad's barbecue, you said good things to them, right?"
Chen Cheng learned his lesson and stopped hiding. Instead, he took the initiative to move into Song Jili's arms and tried to please him with his actions.
His mischievous hands immediately began to hug her, and after tasting the sweetness, he didn't care anymore.
Halfway through the meal, the director gave us the task of chatting about the topic of the night.
The first question is difficult for everyone.
Director: "Question: What is one thing your partner did during your relationship that you will never forget?"
Chen Cheng and Song Jili looked at each other.
They were not in love, they just got married.
However, the situation of the other two couples present was similar, and Song Jili did not react much to this.
But the subsequent developments were completely unexpected.
"He probably flew to Hong Kong to visit me every few days, because my family didn't agree with me marrying a man twelve years older than me in Jiangdu," Lin Fangxian said. "He kept going back and forth for half a year, and finally my dad let him in. He was in a good mood that day, and he drank too much. He sang with my dad on the open-air balcony. Fortunately, it was a villa in the suburbs, otherwise he would have been reported for harassment."
My parents got married after falling in love, and all I knew about them was that they were an older man and a younger wife. This was the first time I heard them talk about their past, and I didn’t expect it to be quite interesting.
"Ahem, cough, save some face." Song Quan reminded Lin Fangxian.
I was really happy at that time. My father-in-law seemed to be relenting, so it was normal for me to drink a few more glasses.
The director team looked at Liang Yanling and Song Qiaoli who were sitting on the left, indicating that it was their turn.
"We..." Liang Yanling and Song Qiaoli looked at each other.
The director asked sharply, "Is it the same as the rumors out there, a family marriage, so there was no contact before the marriage?"
Lin Fangxian spoke up first, "Because the two families have a good relationship, Ah Qiao was Xiao Ling's piano teacher for a period of time during the junior year vacation, so it's not that they didn't have any contact."
"In fact, we have been engaged since we were young." Liang Yanling admitted openly, "I also knew from a young age that I would marry him when I grew up. Many people around me in junior high school teased him, and I even secretly ran to the high school department to take a peek. I remember that day their class was in physical education class, and I missed the ball. When I was going downstairs, I bumped into him. He judged that I was in the junior high school department from the color of my school uniform, asked me if I was lost, and sent me back."
"Did you really recognize him?" Lin Fangxian asked anxiously.
Song Qiaoli nodded calmly: "I recognized it."
"How could you recognize him?" Liang Yanling was puzzled. They had never met before. She still remembered that the first time they met was at a dinner party at two different homes. Their tone was unfamiliar and polite.
"Many people around me tease our childhood marriage," Song Qiaoli said, "but I don't even know what my future wife looks like."
Only two people knew the specific details of that day. In fact, it was Liang Yanling who took the initiative to come forward. Her attitude was not particularly good, and even seemed to be as expected.
Lin Fangxian, who didn't know the inside story, said happily, "I didn't expect you two had known each other for so long. Brother was quite sensible and took the initiative to help."
"This can't be considered love, right?" Song Jili interrupted his mother who was about to blush.
Liang Yanling: "Unforgettable things during love..."
Everyone thought Liang Yanling was going to make it up on the spot, but she said, "It's not a big deal, but it's unforgettable for me. When we were dating, I was studying at a university in Beijing, and he had just graduated and returned to Jiangdu. We were in different places, but he would give me gifts during holidays, and he would take time out to come to Beijing to see me and have dinner with me on Valentine's Day and Chinese Valentine's Day."
Lin Fangxian reacted the most. She stood up and the blanket fell to the ground. "Wait a minute, you two have been together?"
Then it was Song Jili who asked: "When did you start dating?"
I thought it was made up, just for the show, but looking closely at their expressions, it seems like they were dating before marriage, it couldn't be more real.
Chen Cheng was the only person present who knew about the incident, and everyone else was in shock.
Liang Yanling was thinking about how to explain it, and Song Qiaoli replied, "We're going to get married anyway, so we can try dating, so we're together."
"Wow, mommy's great son, you are so confident." Lin Fangxian smiled, "I was worried that you two had never met before, so I specially arranged for you to be her tutor."
It was Liang Yanling who proposed the relationship, and she would not let Song Qiaoli be scolded alone.
She hugged Song Qiaoli's arm and smiled sweetly to explain: "Thank you for your kindness, Mom. Brother Qiao was very busy at that time. If you hadn't arranged for him to teach me piano, we would not have met."
Everyone present, except Chen Cheng, had not yet reacted and was immersed in shock.
The topic came to Song Jili and Chen Cheng.
It is foreseeable that after the show is broadcast, the rumors about their relationship may become even worse.
Even Liang Yanling and Song Qiaoli, who had been engaged since childhood, dated for three years before getting married. Theirs was a real marriage and they were not even WeChat friends before they got married.
Chen Cheng was about to confess that they met through a blind date.
"Chen Cheng and I knew each other before, so we got engaged and married right after we met." Song Jili put his hand on Chen Cheng's shoulder and held her close.
Chen Cheng turned to look at him, eyes wide open.
They are the only ones telling lies here.
Others were skeptical about this, but in front of the camera, they gave face and did not expose it.
The director started to cue the next topic, and Song Jili leaned over to her ear and said, "Don't worry, it can stand up to scrutiny."
Chen Cheng: Let’s not get involved in this topic.
Fortunately, the director didn't ask any embarrassing questions afterwards, and the story mostly revolved around Liang Yanling and Song Qiaoli.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Lin Fangxian wanted to have a good sleep, so she and Song Quan went back to the RV first to make room for the young people.
After the director shot the material he wanted, he temporarily removed the camera to give them some private space.
Song Jili took out a box of fairy wands specially prepared for Chen Cheng and went to chat with Song Qiaoli.
Chen Cheng and Liang Yanling each wrapped themselves in a thick blanket and sat on a wooden block, placing sparklers.
"We applied for divorce again the day before yesterday." Liang Yanling poked the floor with the burnt fairy wand.
Chen Cheng was puzzled and wrote on the mud with wire: "Why?"
"It's nothing. The recording of the variety show will be finished next month. If nothing goes wrong, we will get the certificate first. When he takes power and I am firmly in the position of the leading actor, we will make it public." Liang Yanling said in a much more relaxed tone, "Let it be."
Chen Cheng didn't know what to say and respected their decision.
Liang Yanling took out a lighter, lit a new sparkler, and then lit one for Chen Cheng, head to head.
The two of them chatted endlessly, drawing circles with their wands, and talked about where they would go for dinner after returning home and play mahjong together.
There was a quarrel coming from the RV next door. Cheng Hezhu and Liao Jing who had just arrived started arguing.
"It's all your fault. A Yuan ran away in anger. Now we can't find him. What do you say we should do?" Cheng Hezhu burst into tears.
Liao Jing scolded, "Is crying any use? Hurry up and ask someone to come and look for him. There are mountains all around us. What should we do if we are getting further and further away?"
"Let's go. We don't want to listen to other people's affairs." Liang Yanling helped Chen Cheng stand up and hurried back into the house, making sure not to be implicated.
They stood up and saw Song Quan's assistant jogging into the camp and knocking loudly on the RV door.
The assistant had been through a lot with Song Quan, and his face was full of panic. He shouted anxiously, "Sir, Madam, there's an accident."
Liang Yanling walked over quickly and asked, "What's wrong?"
The door of the RV opened. Lin Fangxian and Song Quan were still in their pajamas. They got up in such a hurry that they only had time to put on their bathrobes.
"The eldest and second young masters drove out in a shuttle bus and we can't contact them now. I asked someone to look for them along the way and saw a car on one road, but no one." The assistant spoke faster and faster, getting anxious.
Liang Yanling pinched Chen Cheng's arm, her eyes full of fear.
Chen Cheng was also stunned.
There are mountains all around here, and it is night time, so it is very dangerous to travel through the mountains without any safety equipment.
When Lin Fangxian heard that her two sons had an accident, her legs went weak.
Song Quan reached out to hold him, and said quickly, "Send someone to search the entire park area, a carpet search. Have you checked the surveillance? What have you found?"
Assistant: "I didn't find anything strange, except that... he picked up the young master of the Liao family and got off the car together."
After hearing this, Chen Cheng rushed towards the Liao family's RV without thinking much.
