Chapter 30 Is it easy for me to travel through time?
Chi Cheng pushed open the door. There was only a floor lamp on in the living room, and the light was a little dim.
He paused and glanced across the sofa.
Yue Yue was lying on the sofa with his legs crossed and peeling an orange in his hand.
Guo Chengyu sat in a haphazard manner on the low table next to the sofa, playing with a metal lighter in his hand, opening and closing it, making a soft "ding" sound.
They both looked at Chi Cheng who came in.
Chi Cheng didn't say anything, his face expressionless. He walked straight to the other side of the sofa and sat down, sinking his body into the soft cushions.
He rubbed his eyebrows, with a little imperceptible fatigue.
"What's the matter?" He spoke, his voice a little hoarse, his eyes fixed on Yue Yue.
Calling him back so late must be something wrong.
Yue Yue immediately threw the orange peel away, leaned forward, his eyes bright with surprise, and the fire of gossip burning: "What's going on?"
She lowered her voice and said excitedly, "Did you get it? I see you look so happy today, did you succeed?"
Really, is it easy for her to travel through time?
Thanks to her classic female villain skill of being greedy for money, she finally made Wu Suowei disappointed in her, and she quickly contacted Chi Cheng so that the two of them could meet earlier.
Unexpectedly, Chi Cheng was quite happy about it.
What is she doing this for?
Isn't it just for Leopard and Cat to quickly achieve the right result, and then be sent to the bridal chamber on the spot for a thrilling battle that is as if a waterfall drops three thousand feet and the Milky Way falls from the sky!
Ahem, no, she is still that reserved and elegant fairy who is two meters tall and weighs 20 kilograms.
Of course, she couldn't tell this to Chi Cheng, otherwise she was afraid that Chi Cheng would kill her.
Chi Cheng raised his eyelids and glanced at her. He didn't say anything, but just shook his head lightly, with a hint of helplessness in his movements.
"Tsk!" Yue Yue leaned back on the sofa in disappointment. "This is tough... Your efficiency is not good enough!"
She stroked her chin, her eyes rolling around. "How about...I can help you out a little? Create a little misunderstanding? Or maybe be a hero and save the damsel in distress? That's how it's written in novels, it works!"
Chi Cheng didn't respond. He leaned forward slightly, resting his elbows on his knees. His eyes moved between Yue Yue and Guo Chengyu, a look of scrutiny and... surprise in his eyes. "Let's get down to business first."
He paused, his tone a little subtle, "I didn't expect that you two would get together."
In his impression, these two people seemed to have had little interaction before.
Guo Chengyu stopped playing with the lighter, sneered, and pointed at Chi Cheng.
"Don't say anything careless, Chi Zi. Isn't it because of you?" He said with a hint of disdain. "This Miss Yue, late at night, insisted on having 'a shocking revelation' and dragged me out of my comfortable place to be your driver and witness. I'm talking about your relationship, why did you drag me into this?"
Yue Yue rolled her eyes. "Who told you to be on the same page with Chi Cheng? Can't I just use you as a messenger? Besides, you should learn from me too. Let me kowtow sooner... ahem, marry my wife sooner."
Chi Cheng ignored their bickering and asked Yue Yue directly, "What's going on?"
Yue Yue also became more serious and cleared her throat. "Well...didn't your grandfather take away all your treasures? He even threatened you to 'reflect on your actions'?"
She observed Chi Cheng's expression.
Chi Cheng said "hmm", his reaction was flat, even a little indifferent.
"Just take it away," he leaned back, his posture relaxed, "Little Vinegar Bag and Huang Long are enough."
When he mentioned these two names, there was a barely perceptible gentleness in his tone.
Guo Chengyu frowned and looked at Chi Cheng with obvious doubt and confusion in his eyes: "You..."
He chose his words carefully, as if he was having trouble speaking, "Knowing that... Wu Suowei back then..."
He didn't finish his words, but his meaning was clear.
Knowing that Wu Suowei died because of the Yellow Dragon in his previous life, why did he keep it by his side in this life?
What if the past life happened again?
He couldn't bear to see his brother again, looking as depressed as if he had been trapped in a well for eight hundred years.
The living room suddenly became quiet.
The relaxation on Chi Cheng's face disappeared.
He remained silent, his eyes fixed on his clasped hands, his knuckles exerting a little force.
After several seconds, he slowly spoke, his voice low and calm, almost heavy.
“…It’s me who needs forgiveness.”
He raised his eyes, looked at Guo Chengyu calmly, and seemed to look through him to a farther place, speaking clearly word by word.
"It's not Huang Long."
Guo Chengyu looked at the determination and deep-buried pain in his eyes, opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing. He just closed the lighter with a ding sound in annoyance.
He knew how deep Chi Cheng's knot was.
In the previous life he was Wang Shuo, and in this life he is Wu Suowei.
During that period, he was eager to go and accompany Wu Suowei as soon as possible. Who cares about Wang Shuo or Huang Long? How could they be as important as Wu Suowei?
What a pity...
When Chi Cheng rushed forward, Wu Suowei was already unconscious.
That day, he watched Chi Cheng try every possible way to save Wu Suowei, and even took out a dagger almost immediately, but was grabbed by the wrist by the unconscious Wu Suowei.
"No... Chi Cheng... likes snakes..."
"Fool! Nothing can be more important than you!"
Wu Suowei, who was in a daze, was surprisingly strong. Perhaps it was because of the pain, or perhaps it was the instinctive desire to survive from deep in his soul.
When Chi Cheng finally broke free from Wu Suowei's restraints and rescued him, Wu Suowei was still dead.
This is Chi Cheng's lifelong pain and also his only obsession in this life.
"Oh!" Yue Yue couldn't stand the dull atmosphere and slapped his thigh. "Why are you two grown men still fussing? If I were you, why are you so hung up on the past tense?"
She stood up suddenly, hands on hips, looking like she was giving orders, "The key is now! The future! Chi Cheng, don't you want to get her back? There's no point just sighing here!"
Guo Chengyu raised his eyebrows:?
Chi Cheng also looked up at her.
Yue Yue's eyes lit up, and she spoke quickly: "If you ask me, why not hurry up and get things done? It's a done deal! Everyone will be happy~"
She made a fist-clenching gesture, with a look of certainty that "you'll be right if you listen to me."
Guo Chengyu: ? ?
Chi Cheng frowned even more tightly.
"...force him?" His tone was filled with obvious disapproval, even a hint of disgust. "Forget it."
When he thought of Wu Suowei's eyes filled with vigilance and resistance, his heart felt choked.
Guo Chengyu looked at Chi Cheng's reaction and suddenly sneered, his tone a little playful: "What? Are you feeling bad?"
He knew Chi Cheng too well. This man was domineering in nature. When had he ever considered other people's feelings?
Now you have learned to feel "distressed"?
It takes some skill for Wu Suowei to train Chi Cheng into this state.
Chi Cheng ignored him, obviously not wanting to continue this topic.
He was more concerned with something else.
He turned to Guo Chengyu and asked, "Can you give me some news on that... thing in your family? Wu Suowei hasn't been acting well lately. It feels like... he's avoiding me."
His brows were furrowed, and his tone was filled with confusion and a hint of imperceptible irritation.
He could see through Wu Suowei's little thoughts, but he couldn't guess the root cause.
Guo Chengyu spread his hands: "Isn't he filming with you every day? I see he's in good shape, eating and sleeping well, and even complaining about you to Jiang Xiaoshuai."
He thought of Jiang Xiaoshuai complaining to him about Wu Suowei "valuing women over friendship" and found it quite funny.
"You don't understand." Chi Cheng interrupted him in a firm tone.
Only he could feel the subtle alienation and temptation hidden in Wu Suowei's eyes and actions.
That feeling… was too familiar, and it made him uneasy.
"Got it!" Yue Yue suddenly shouted, clapping her hands violently, her eyes widening.
Guo Chengyu: ???
Chi Cheng also looked at her puzzledly.
Yue Yue had a mysterious smile on his face, which was also a bit weird and excited.
"I didn't read thousands of novels for nothing! Leave this matter to me!"
Hehehe~
