Chapter 2: Meng Po's Soup Was Diluted with Water
…
Ten years ago.
Xu Kai brought his ex-wife Dong Ye (because they were both under the legal marriage age at the time, they did not actually get a marriage certificate and had not even met each other's parents, so they were secretly engaged) and his daughter Xu Mai, who had just turned one month old, back home to visit their parents and hold a wedding ceremony.
Dong also encountered a bully in front of a small shop selling freshly squeezed juice in Dongzhou City.
When the bully saw the cold and beautiful Dong Ye, he was shocked and then went up to her to harass her.
But Dong didn't even look at the bully. He was concentrating on holding Xu Mai to avoid the bully's harassment.
Seeing that Dong ignored him, the angry bully started to tease Dong in public.
This scene happened to be seen by Xu Kai who came back from buying juice.
As a man, how can you tolerate others teasing your wife?
Xu Kai immediately rushed forward and pushed the bully.
The bully, who was used to being domineering, took out a long knife from the car without saying a word, and then started chasing and hacking Xu Kai.
But the bully had drunk too much at the time, and his hands and feet were not very flexible, so after chasing Xu Kai for a while, he stumbled and fell to the ground, and the knife in his hand slipped to Xu Kai's feet.
Xu Kai subconsciously picked up the knife, and in panic, he stabbed the bully who came up to grab the knife without thinking.
Xu Kai was not even 21 years old at that time, and had never experienced such a big thing. When he saw the bully being stabbed down by him, he was scared silly on the spot. No matter how Dong Ye pulled him, he did not move. He just sat there smoking one cigarette after another until he was taken away by the police.
Three days later, Xu Kai found out that the bully was not dead and had been sent to Dongzhou People's Hospital for treatment by the police.
Xu Kai's father Xu Yun asked his classmate who worked at Dongzhou People's Hospital and found out that Xu Kai's stab wound was not deep, the bully was not seriously injured, and he would be discharged from the hospital in ten days at most.
But just as Xu Kai was anxiously waiting in the detention center for Xu Yun to pay compensation to the bully and reach a settlement, the bad news suddenly came - the bully, who was about to be discharged from the hospital, died inexplicably.
The next day, Xu Kai was charged with intentional homicide.
In just 20 working days, Xu Kai was convicted of intentional homicide and sentenced to life imprisonment.
Over the years, Xu Kai has always refused to plead guilty. He firmly believes that he was acting in self-defense. Xu Yun, Xu Kai's mother Cui Min and Xu Kai's younger brother Xu Li have also been helping Xu Kai appeal.
Finally, in the tenth year of Xu Kai's imprisonment, a young prosecutor named Fan Linglong, after learning about Xu Kai's situation, felt that Xu Kai was wronged, so she helped Xu Kai re-examine the case.
After reinvestigation by the relevant departments, it was found that it was the bully's younger brother who murdered the bully in the hospital. In order to evade legal sanctions, the bully's younger brother spent a large sum of money to bribe several relevant personnel and several senior officials, and made Xu Kai a scapegoat.
Soon, the court changed Xu Kai's verdict and released him without charge.
The injustice was redressed.
Xu Kai was released from prison with 1.3 million yuan in compensation.
But at this time, Xu Kai has changed from a young man in his prime of life in his twenties to a quasi-middle-aged man in his thirties with little youth left.
It can be said that the best time in Xu Kai's life was spent in prison.
However, Xu Kai does not regret this experience at all. On the contrary, he is very grateful.
Xu Kai had a very fulfilling life in the past ten years - in a prison with nothing but time, Xu Kai was focused and studied things that interested him like a black hole.
It is no exaggeration to say that Xu Kai is now multi-talented and has unique skills.
The key point is that the experience ten years ago unexpectedly awakened Xu Kai's memories of his past life.
Although the similarities are extremely high and the historical process is similar, the world in which Xu Kai lived in his two lives is completely different, and the people in the two lives are also completely different.
It should be noted that Xu Kai knew clearly that he did not receive the memory of another person, but he really lived two lives. No, he really lived one life and thirty-one years.
Don't ask Xu Kai what's going on? Xu Kai didn't know why he remembered his past life experience.
If Xu Kai had to give a reason, it was possible that the Meng Po soup he drank was diluted with water. As a result, he encountered a drastic change, which awakened his memories that were not completely erased by the Meng Po soup.
Therefore, the fact that "Dignity", a song that does not belong to this world, appears in this world is naturally the work of Xu Kai.
As for why it became Yang Xindong’s song, it’s because Yang Xindong is Xu Kai’s...ex-girlfriend.
While in prison, Xu Kai was lucky enough to become the disciple of Mr. Pindao, an old Huashan Sect member who was imprisoned to avoid the peach blossom calamity, and became the 18th generation direct descendant of Fuyaozi.
Because Mr. Pindao cured the prison chief's terminal illness, that chief sent Xu Kai to the prison hospital to "serve his sentence" - in fact, that high-ranking official used his absolute power in the prison to create an opportunity for Xu Kai to work as a doctor in the prison hospital so that Xu Kai could hone his medical skills.
Yang Xindong's sister, Yang Xinchun, was a classmate of the then deputy warden Zhao Hongwei.
Because of this relationship, Yang Xinchun, who could not afford the high treatment fees charged by the psychologist at the time, sent Yang Xindong, who was suffering from severe social phobia at the time, to the prison hospital for treatment where it could be treated at a low cost.
At that time, Xu Kai and Zhao Hongwei were already very good friends.
In order to cure Yang Xindong's illness without letting Yang Xinchun spend extra money, Zhao Hongwei handed Yang Xindong over to his good friend Xu Kailai, who already had very advanced medical skills, for treatment.
During the treatment of Yang Xindong, Xu Kai and Yang Xindong developed feelings for each other and soon got together.
In order to facilitate Yang Xindong's treatment and also to have someone to accompany him through the lonely days in prison, Yang Xindong became a temporary worker in the prison hospital under Xu Kai's operation.
The two stayed in the prison hospital for three years.
During those three years, Xu Kai not only taught the extremely talented Yang Xindong music and singing skills, but also "wrote" dozens of songs for her.
"Dignity" was sung by Xu Kai for fun when the two of them were watching a melodramatic drama together. Later, when Xu Kai was bored, he "created" "Dignity" and gave it to Yang Xindong for guitar.
One day three years later, Yang Xindong suddenly left without saying goodbye.
Not long after, Xu Kai heard people say that Yang Xindong had become a star.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Xindong released dozens of songs that Xu Kai "wrote" for her one after another.
"Dignity" is one of them.
Yang Xindong has a beautiful appearance and a tall and hot figure, and is affectionately called "Shou Shou" by her fans.
Meaning, she is not a human, but a breasted beast.
In addition, any song that Xu Kai "wrote" for Yang Xindong was a widely sung song in the previous life.
As a result, in just three years, Yang Xindong became an unstoppable first-line star and was given the title of "Queen of Pop".
First there was Dong Ye, who went to jail for her, but she abandoned Xu Kai, who was still in prison, and Xu Mai, who was still an infant, without even saying goodbye, and disappeared mysteriously.
Later, Yang Xindong came and treated her illness, taught her music and singing, but she left without saying goodbye, leaving her alone to face the loneliness and solitude in prison.
The key point is that when Xu Kai was in the entertainment industry in his previous life, he had seen too many fickle women like Ma and Li.
This made Xu Kai no longer believe in love. He even determined to become a bachelor, no matter how good a woman he met in the future. After all, women will change.
Of course, even if you’re not married, you still have to have fun.
As a man, there's nothing wrong with liking women.
Today is the day Xu Kai is released from prison.
Xu Yun and Cui Min prepared a delicious meal for Xu Kai at home.
And Xu Li came to pick up Xu Kai from prison.
Everything was fine.
But what Xu Kai didn't expect was that Yang Xindong and Yang Xinchun also came to pick him up from prison.
Xu Kai was so familiar with Yang Xindong that even though she wrapped herself up like a dumpling, Xu Kai recognized her at a glance.
But the Xu Kai now is no longer the Xu Kai who was prepared to stay with Yang Xindong forever - he would not give up the big forest everywhere outside for the sake of Yang Xindong, a tree.
Therefore, when he saw Yang Xindong, Xu Kai pretended not to see him.
Perhaps because there were a lot of people Xu Kai knew and didn't know, such as Zhao Hongwei, who escorted him out of prison, Yang Xindong, who was already a well-known star, did not choose to meet Xu Kai in public.
After that, Yang Xindong and Yang Xinchun followed Xu Kai and Xu Li.
Xu Kai knew that if he didn't break up with Yang Xindong, the stubborn Yang Xindong would definitely follow him and tie him to this tree.
That's why Xu Kai asked Xu Li to buy him some pomelo leaves to get Xu Li away, and then sang a song "Dignity" to express his feelings for Yang Xindong.
