Chapter 65 "Don't worry, I have someone to back me up."
"Ningning, I love you!"
"I first met you at a high school debate competition. You returned my lost watch to me. Looking at your bright smile, I knew I was doomed. I had fallen for your smile."
"From then on, you were the only one in my heart. Whether I was working my ass off studying or taking over the family business, it was all to be by your side, to be the one who could protect you from the storm."
"Ningning, can you understand my heart?"
Cheng Wen finished his one-sided speech to Ge Yining. He was moved by himself and handed over the bouquet with red eyes. He hid his other hand at his side and shook it desperately, signaling the girl next to him to give him the ring.
But after shaking for a long time, the palm was still empty.
Cheng Wen frowned and looked over impatiently - suddenly, his eyes widened and he looked at the girl holding the flower basket as if he had seen a ghost.
The girl and Cheng Wen looked at each other, smiled slightly, and slowly raised the hand that was in the basket. In her palm was not a ring box, but a nail gun.
The gun was aimed at Chengwen, right between his eyebrows.
Everyone at the scene was stunned by this sudden change, including Cheng Man.
But after the initial shock, she didn't scream in fear like the others at the scene, because Li Xiaogou was there, and he had seen through everything and was able to stop it -
???!!!!!!
Cheng Man's eyes popped out in shock, she saw Li Xiaogou standing there with his arms crossed, watching calmly, with no intention of stopping him at all.
She quickly ran to Li Xiaogou, holding up her skirt. She couldn't help but tugged at Li Xiaogou's sleeve fiercely: "Why don't you help me?!"
Li Xiaogou said innocently: "That's not why you called me here."
Cheng Man frowned: "You are stupid, you saved Cheng Wen, the Cheng family must be grateful to you!"
Li Xiaogou: "I don't have the habit of saving scumbag men."
"Scumbag?" Cheng Man asked. "Who? Cheng Wen?"
"You misunderstood. Cheng Wen is definitely not a scumbag. Many girls have pursued him over the years, but he has never been moved. How could he be a scumbag?"
Li Xiaogou sneered: "Look at this girl, does she look familiar?"
Cheng Man looked in the direction he pointed, then frowned.
"You know what, it really does look familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere... Where have I seen it before..."
Cheng Man racked her brains but couldn't figure out where she had seen this person before.
Li Xiaogou pointed at Ge Yining.
Suddenly, Ge Yining seemed to be struck by a spiritual point and was completely stunned.
The girl holding the nail gun has facial features that are 70% similar to Ge Yining!
"This, this, this, no way?" She looked at Li Xiaogou in despair.
Judge Li, with a sneer on his lips, pronounced his verdict on her: "Just as you thought. A scumbag with no creative talent."
The scumbag, who had no creativity, was quite courageous. He blocked the muzzle of the gun with his hand and said to the girl in a low voice, "What are you doing?"
Just these words broke the girl's defenses, and she broke down crying: "How is she better than me?! I won't let you be with her!"
"Stop it."
"I'm not making a fuss! You never told me that I was just her substitute. If you had told me earlier, I would never have fallen in love with you."
"I'm sorry, but feelings can't be forced. Ningning is the only one in my heart."
"What about me? We watched the sunrise, sunset and stars together. I carried you back home when you got injured while skiing. I almost froze to death! You said your life belonged to me, but you forgot so quickly—"
Cheng Wen's eyes darkened, and he raised his hand to grip the gun. He placed the gun against his forehead. "I won't break my promise. You saved my life. If you want to take it now, that's fine. But my heart is free. I never lied to you, nor did I say I loved you. All I've told you from the beginning is to treat me as a part of your journey, not the destination."
"You're great, but you're not my destiny. Ningning is."
The two looked at each other, and there seemed to be an undercurrent in the air.
"If, if I meet you first in the next life, will you fall in love with me?" the girl asked with a sob.
Cheng Wen turned his head away: "Maybe."
Li Xiaogou held his forehead with his hand. He was wrong. He should have stopped it earlier. Standing so close and hearing these words was the biggest punishment for him.
"I have a good idea. Since he hasn't rejected you, why don't you send him to reincarnate now? That way, you can be together in 18 years!"
The girl looked at Li Xiaogou with tears in her eyes, as if she was really thinking about what he said.
Cheng Wen frowned: "Who told you to speak?"
"Li Xiaogou!" Ge Yining's eyes lit up. "You actually came! Can you...can you give me an autograph?"
Li Xiaogou smiled and said, "Of course."
Ge Yining covered her cheeks and screamed silently, then thought of her current situation and her smile faded: "I don't think I have made my position clear yet."
She looked at the girl and said, "I swear, your beloved in your next life and I have nothing to do with each other. I had no idea he was going to propose to me today. He just told me he was going to have a party and would invite Li Xiaogou over, so I agreed. Cheng Wen and I have only spoken three times in total, right? It's a bit of a stretch to call us friends."
Cheng Wen staggered back two steps: "You, no, this is not true!"
"You smiled so sweetly at me when you returned the watch."
"...You said I'd forgotten it. We're almost an adult now. I still have your home address engraved on the back of your watch. I thought it was a little funny." Ge Yining curled the ends of her hair. "But then I found out your family is very rich. I guess they were worried you'd be kidnapped, right? Blame me, blame me. I shouldn't have laughed at you."
"What a joke... What a joke! That second time, when I was giving a speech, you came backstage to tell me that I was doing great. If you didn't like me, why would you do that?!"
Ge Yining thought about it for a while in confusion, but her mind went blank.
Li Xiaogou reminded: "When we were repairing the equipment."
Ge Yining suddenly realized: "You mean that time! Sorry, my advisor is old and doesn't know how to use the broadcasting equipment, so he insisted that the microphone was broken. It just so happened that you borrowed the microphone for your speech that day, and you used it perfectly. My advisor also turned off the microphone, so I expressed my gratitude..."
Cheng Wen looked like he was about to collapse.
Ge Yining continued: "But if I really liked you, I wouldn't agree to your proposal now."
She looked very soft and sweet, but her attitude was firm: "We haven't even been in a relationship, yet you're making such a big deal about it in front of so many people. You're just thinking that she's too shy to refuse."
"Besides, you say you only have me in your heart, but isn't that just a substitute? You can't even keep your virginity pure, so why would I care about a dirty cucumber?"
Cheng Wen was dumbfounded, and after a long pause, he stammered, "How could you, how could you swear?"
"Dirty words? Describing the facts is dirty words? You don't want to hear it but I say it anyway, dirty cucumber, dirty cucumber.
Dirty cucumber! No matter how dirty it is, it can’t be dirtier than your cucumber! "
Every sentence is as heavy as Mount Tai, crushing the entire text into pieces.
The girl held Chengwen's arm and asked with pity, "Are you okay?"
Cheng Wen was too distraught to answer, so the girl directed her anger at Ge Yining: "If Cheng Wen could love me as much as he loves you, I would never be like you who don't know how to cherish me!"
Ge Yining looked pure and cold, but unexpectedly, she had a lively personality. She rolled her eyes and said, "You cherish him so much, but he doesn't like you. Why do you think that is? Could it be that he is too cheap and just likes the feeling of being a lickspittle and being scolded by others?"
The girl was choked to death, her face flushed red.
Li Xiaogou was also having a hard time holding back his laughter, but he was trying not to laugh.
Cheng Man tugged at the corner of his clothes, signaling him not to be too gloating, as it would be bad if he offended the Cheng family again.
Li Xiaogou felt very aggrieved. Everyone present was clearly laughing at Cheng Wen, okay? And it wasn't anyone's fault. It was Cheng Wen himself who was so disappointing!
"Now that the misunderstandings have been resolved, why don't we end the party here today?" Cheng Man took the initiative to step forward.
Ge Yining nodded. If Li Xiaogou hadn’t been there, she would have really turned around and left. What bad luck!
The others also agreed, and left quickly so that they could enjoy the crickets to their heart's content.
Just when everyone was leaving the melon-eating scene in an orderly manner, Cheng Wen, who had been keeping his eyes down and silent, suddenly lost his temper.
Cheng Man was discussing with Ge Yining, hoping that Ge Yining would not spread the matter, when she suddenly felt a chill on her back. She turned around and saw only a pair of dark eyes.
Cheng Wen was not tall or handsome, but he had regular features and could be considered above average among the crowd. But now he looked like a devil crawling out of hell, with the whites of his eyes completely gone, swallowed up by a thick darkness.
The image of evil spirits in countless horror movies flashed through Cheng Man's mind, and she burst into tears.
Cheng Wen's target was Ge Yining, and his eyes were fixed on Ge Yining. He raised his hand just to push Cheng Man away.
Then, his hands were held.
"Cheng Man can't bear this slap from you." Li Xiaogou said.
He firmly grasped Cheng Wen's wrist, pulled it back, and used the force of the rotation to flip Cheng Wen, a grown man, over. His knee hit Cheng Wen's elbow.
Cheng Wen struggled desperately, and he looked so crazy that he was not afraid of death and could not feel any pain. Even the girl did not dare to get close to him.
Li Xiaogou secretly sighed, exerted force on his hands, and heard a "click", and Chengwen's hand bones were broken.
The intense pain pierced his heart, and the darkness in Cheng Wen's eyes finally dissipated.
Seeing that he had regained consciousness, Li Xiaogou let go of his hand. Cheng Wen rolled on the ground in pain, covering his arm.
"How dare you hurt me? When my grandfather comes, I'll make sure you spend the rest of your life in jail!"
"Okay, okay, call your grandfather over quickly so I don't have to look for him."
Li Xiaogou's perfunctory attitude even made Cheng Man worried about him: "You should restrain yourself a little."
"Don't worry, I have someone to back me up." Li Xiaogou said a few words to comfort him and called Yunlou.
People from the Cheng family arrived very quickly. The legendary old man Cheng also came with a cane when he heard that his grandson's bones were broken.
The old man brought more than thirty big men with him, who filled the entire hall in an instant. They stared at Li Xiaogou with murderous eyes, ready to pounce on him and tear him to pieces at any time.
Ge Yining and the girl were asked to go to the next room, and Cheng Man was also asked to leave at Li Xiaogou's insistence.
"You're quite brave, kid. If you have anything to say to your family, I'll have my men take it to them."
"No need to bother." Li Xiaogou smiled. "My family will be here soon. How about I tell them when they get here?"
The old man narrowed his eyes.
Just then, a familiar figure walked in.
It’s Yunlou.
"Mr. Cheng." Yunlou greeted him respectfully.
When the old man saw Yunlou, his brows automatically frowned.
Li Xiaogou whispered in his ear, "He suddenly went crazy just now. I detected that he had supernatural powers at that moment, but they disappeared very quickly. I felt something was wrong."
Yun Lou nodded and said politely, "Mr. Cheng, this is my deputy. He was a bit harsh. It's my fault for my teaching. I will come and apologize someday."
The old man didn't say anything.
Yunlou changed the subject and continued, "But now, I want to take your grandson away first."
"You dare?!" the old man was furious.
Yun Lou suppressed his smile and said, "I won't force you, but if you don't let me take my people away today, and your grandson becomes incurable someday, don't forget that you threw away your only chance of survival."
