Xia Xingchi instantly imagined a series of scenes with terrifying background music:
Li Chengyuan quietly pushed the door into his room late at night, sat beside the bed and stared at him expressionlessly.
No one knew how long they watched it, and no one knew what the ruthless Feng Pi was thinking at that time.
Xia Xingchi swallowed his saliva and asked persistently, "Aunt Li, is this the nightgown that Li Chengyuan wore last night?"
Aunt Li didn't understand and just nodded in affirmation.
Xia Xingchi shuddered when he heard that, and suddenly became like a vigilant little hedgehog with its thorns erected.
He knew that Li Chengyuan was paranoid, but he didn't expect that this man was actually so scary and weird that he would observe him sleeping in the middle of the night for no reason.
But then I heard Aunt Li sigh with some distress: "Mr. was not feeling well last night. I told him before that he could ring the bell to call me or someone else at any time, but he didn't like to bother others and insisted on finding medicine himself."
When she got up at night, she happened to see that the wall lamp on the second floor was on. She thought that someone had forgotten to turn it off, but when she went upstairs, she saw Li Chengyuan standing in front of the medicine cabinet in the living room with a pale face and one hand on his chest.
I guess he was taking medicine because his heart was hurting. If it wasn't a coincidence, no one would even know.
——He was not feeling well last night?
After hearing this, Xia Xingchi tilted his head slightly, wondering if he was wrong.
After all, Li Chengyuan is a very popular big boss. Logically, he wouldn't be so bored as to endure his physical discomfort in the middle of the night to scare an unknown person.
After thinking it over, I still felt that he was very suspicious, but I didn't dare to rush up to question him, so I had to plan to keep something in reserve before going to bed next time.
.
In the inner hall on the second floor, Xia Xingchi finally ate the egg tarts he had always dreamed of, and at the same time began to sort out various doubts about Li Chengyuan.
Putting aside the scary things that happened in the middle of the night, what’s even more terrible is that the plot went off track. Why didn’t the villain break off the engagement, but instead kidnapped him back?
He was just a small cannon fodder, miserable and poor for two lifetimes, with no benefit worth pursuing.
Li Chengyuan has no love line in the book, let alone a niche hobby like being gay.
Could it be that the tycoon who was supposed to be alone until his death really wanted to get engaged or married to him?
etc?
Xia Xingchi slapped his head, linked the words "marriage" and "death" together, and then he suddenly had an epiphany.
This magnificent mansion with a sky-high price and a legacy worth hundreds of billions...
A light bulb went off in the little money-grubber's head, and he remembered that the first order of inheritance was "spouse"!
After all, he was extremely poor and afraid of being poor, and the temptation of money could instantly double Xia Xingchi's courage.
A few minutes ago, he was still thinking about how to ask Li Chengyuan to cancel the engagement and was trying all kinds of methods.
But now there is a huge cash cow in front of him. Even if he has to face a moody, paranoid and cruel villain, Xia Xingchi instantly wants to shout "I can do it! I fell in love at first sight and just want to get married!"
——Anyway, Li Chengyuan is not gay and has no interest in me. As long as I act as a transparent little quail for half a year, I can figure out how many zeros there are in hundreds of billions every day.
For a wealthy man who was only 25 years old, this death was too sudden. Even if Li Chengyuan had always been in poor health, he should not have died.
Perhaps it was a forced arrangement of the plot, so that it would benefit Xia Yu and Li Shengrui, the gay couple who are all villains and the protagonists of the original book.
After all, the protagonist Li Shengrui is Li Chengyuan's "good brother". He inherits all the inheritance according to the legal order of inheritance, and then there is a happy and perfect ending.
Li Chengyuan probably did not anticipate that he would suddenly fall ill. He did not have time to arrange his funeral and did not leave a will to allocate his property.
It's a pity that this is not a supernatural novel, otherwise if he knew in his afterlife that all the money went to that bastard Li Shengrui, he would definitely pretend to be dead and donate everything in advance.
Xia Xingchi took the last bite of the egg tart and licked his fingertips out of habit.
After realizing that he was traveling through a book, he tried hard to recall the plot he had hastily read, but he found that the whole text focused on how the protagonist did evil and how happy he was, and there was not much description of the villain.
Li Chengyuan's life experience and the reasons for his madness and paranoia are all unknown. Even the cause of his death was hastily summarized as "death from illness", and there is very little useful information.
He was just worrying about where to start, when suddenly he saw a round white ball of fur "rolling" towards him from the stairs in the distance and suddenly appeared in his sight.
It moves very fast, like a soft white cloud.
When it ran closer, Xia Xingchi realized that it was a very beautiful pure white long-haired cat.
The big dark amber eyes are round and bright, and the big fluffy tail is standing upright and swaying.
Xia Xingchi's eyes widened instantly when he saw this. With this fur color and this look, it was exactly his favorite dream cat!
The cat gradually slowed down its pace, walked past his feet gracefully and reservedly, and even looked back proudly at the strange visitor in the house.
Xia Xingchi was so stared at by it that he didn't even have time to think about what he was doing. He couldn't help but squat down and carefully stretch out his hand, trying to touch its head.
When your fingertips touch the soft fur and gently stroke it back, it feels like grabbing a soft cloud, which makes you feel extremely satisfied.
It's so comfortable that it makes you almost squint your eyes.
Unfortunately, before I could rub it a second time, this big white ball, which looked a bit bad-tempered and difficult to mess with, was annoyed by the rubbing.
It meowed in dissatisfaction, then rudely flicked Xia Xingchi's nose with its big tail and ran away without looking back.
"Hey!" Xia Xingchi quickly stood up and tried to catch it. He was addicted and still couldn't touch it enough.
Uncle Ding happened to be carrying a tray upstairs. Seeing him staring eagerly at the direction where the cat disappeared, he smiled and said:
"You like cats too? Summer usually only lets her husband touch her. If anyone else touches her, she'll get angry."
"Summer..." Xia Xingchi tilted his head slightly after hearing this, and asked in shock after a moment, "Is this the cat that Li Chengyuan raised?"
This is Li Chengyuan’s villa, so this must be the cat he raises, but why would a villain keep such a cute and beautiful cat as a pet?
It was not the scary creature like the legendary tiger, crocodile or python.
It also has a warm name like "Summer", which doesn't sound like the gloomy and crazy style at all.
However, the white ball is indeed "similar to its owner", both the big and the small are extremely good-looking, especially the noble and arrogant eyes that cannot be provoked, and the bad temper that easily gets angry, they are really quite similar to Li Chengyuan.
So, Li Chengyuan seems to be a bit like a cat... No, no, no, only a crazy person would equate such a scary person with a cute cat.
Xia Xingchi quickly shook his head to get rid of this thought, and suddenly heard Uncle Ding say again: "Master, can you please do me a favor?"
Faced with the old man's series of honorifics, Xia Xingchi couldn't help but feel awkward: "You're welcome. Just tell me what I can do for you."
He wanted Uncle Ding, Aunt Li and others to call him by his full name, especially not using "you", but the effect was obviously not great.
"Master, can you give this bowl of medicine to the gentleman?"
Uncle Ding was holding a tray with a bowl of pitch-black medicinal juice. Xia Xingchi could vaguely smell the bitter smell of medicine in the air.
It wasn't until he subconsciously took the tray that he realized something was wrong.
Xia Xingchi was stunned for a moment. He looked at the medicine and then at the tightly closed study door.
It was as if the person in the study was not a frail and handsome young tycoon, but a ferocious man-eating white tiger, the kind that would stand up and eat people if you got close.
"Uh...I'll give it to Li Chengyuan?"
Although he was willing to help the kind and amiable old man, Xia Xingchi would not dare to go even if he had more courage.
For some reason, Uncle Ding always mistakenly believed that he was "deeply loved" by Li Chengyuan.
But in fact, he was obviously quite unpopular. Maybe because he was the one who brought the medicine, someone simply didn't want to drink it.
Just when he was about to refuse, he saw the old man looking at him earnestly. The wrinkles on his face left by the years made him look very kind, and his eyes were very sincere.
Xia Xingchi: “…”
The words of excuse came to his lips but he couldn't say them in the end. Uncle Ding's expression vaguely overlapped with that of the kind-hearted old dean.
Forget it, Li Chengyuan isn't really a cannibal, so helping him probably won't cost you anything.
.
"Mr. Li?" Xia Xingchi knocked on the study door three times with a tray in one hand, and then pushed the door open as instructed.
Li Chengyuan was sitting at the table reading documents, his white home clothes making his face look particularly pale.
His whole body gave off an aura that said "keep away from strangers". After realizing the purpose of Xia Xingchi's visit, he was even more indifferent and had no intention of taking the medicine at all.
Xia Xingchi had no choice but to clear his throat and remind him: "Mr. Li, the temperature is just right now. It will not taste good if it gets cold."
Although it doesn't taste good when it's hot.
"Get lost." Li Chengyuan still didn't even give him a look, but just spoke coldly.
Xia Xingchi:?
The fist hardened. If it weren't for the fact that he is a big shot and cannot be messed with, this bowl of medicine would have been used to wash his hair.
Calm down, calm down...
Xia Xingchi suppressed his temper and said to himself: He is almost dead, so I should be more considerate of him. I should give him the best hospice care for the sake of the inheritance and not argue with him.
Xia Xingchi looked at his stubborn expression, then at the medicine bowl——
No, I can't calm down at all.
He just wanted to yell: Li Chengyuan, give me the medicine quickly! Live longer! If you die, who will punish all the villains?
Xia Xingchi thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Mr. Li, you are not afraid of suffering, are you?"
There is no basis for this statement. It is just nonsense and an attempt to provoke him into taking the medicine.
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Li Chengyuan's expression suddenly became stern.
It’s like… it’s like Summer was touched on the head just now, and it seemed like he was about to explode in the next second.
However, the lethality of a cat's fur and a white tiger's fur is absolutely different. Xia Xingchi was stunned when he saw this.
Oh my God, did I accidentally say it right?
Is it true that Li Chengyuan didn't want to drink the medicine because it tasted too bitter?
It is simply unimaginable to put the words "crazily criticizing villains" and "fear of hardship" together.
Xia Xingchi accidentally discovered Li Chengyuan's shocking secret and quickly took two steps back, suspecting that he might be killed.
Just as he was trembling with fear, he saw Li Chengyuan pick up the medicine bowl very calmly and indifferently and drink it all in one gulp.
It seemed that he was trying to prove that Xia Xingchi was wrong, but a closer look revealed that he was just trying to cover up his mistake.
He was in so much pain that his shoulders trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.
Li Chengyuan impatiently put down the bowl with a bang and angrily said, "Get lost!"
Xia Xingchi just stared at him in amazement. After staring at each other for a while, he finally came to his senses and suddenly couldn't help laughing wildly.
Someone actually has such a lively and down-to-earth side.
So even though he was still a little afraid of him, Xia Xingchi was not scared away this time.
Instead, he quickly took something out of his pocket and slapped it on Li Chengyuan's desk.
Then he ran out of the door like a gust of wind.
The bitter taste of medicine was still spreading on the tip of his tongue. Li Chengyuan pursed his lips and saw an extra piece of chocolate on the table.
Printed on the wrapping paper was a mischievous smiling face with its tongue sticking out, which was exactly the same expression Xia Xingchi had just had.

The author has something to say:
A Lu: Cats can’t eat chocolate!
Xia Xingchi: My big cat is fine, I have fed it before (proud and confident.jpg)
Mr. Li: Do you dare to say where you fed the baby at that time?
