Chapter 1: Engagement Banquet: Looking for Love Xiaochen, you weren't hurt just now, were you? ...
The moon was gently shrouded by the night, and the sky was so dark that it seemed to be collapsing.
The only light on the top of the mountain comes from the Tang family villa.
In the backyard of the villa, two people were carrying a sack and whispering as they walked towards the garbage disposal area.
"Today is the engagement party for the young master and Miss Yao. Hurry up and finish this pile of garbage. You can go to the kitchen to get some leftover wine and food when you go back."
"Speaking of which, the young master suddenly disappeared for several months, and this time he came back and agreed to marry Miss Yao?"
The other person immediately covered the man's mouth: "Shh, don't say that again."
The sound gradually faded away.
In the huge garbage disposal bin, the piled up items suddenly moved, and a hand followed the gaps between the objects, struggling to push aside the top layer of garbage and standing upright in the center.
It looked like a zombie mutation scene.
The sacks that the two men had just thrown down rolled down with a "gurgling" sound, making a crisp sound when they hit the ground.
Jiang Chen struggled to get out from a pile of garbage.
She patted herself casually, and an indescribable smell spread and hit her nostrils.
Jiang Chen subconsciously lowered his head and sniffed.
She was glad that she had chosen a good area, not in the kitchen waste area with a sour smell.
She looked at the villa.
The young master of the Tang family——Tang Ji.
Her boyfriend and savior.
Nothing is left behind. After a week of inexplicable disappearance, I am getting engaged to another person today.
She got the news from TV and knew that she couldn't enter their engagement venue, so she had to hide in the garbage disposal area of their engagement venue and look for an opportunity to sneak in.
Jiang Chen had no intention of destroying it.
She heard him interviewing reporters on TV.
I recognized it was him.
She wanted to ask why?
A very silly question.
But it was her excuse to muster up the courage to get into the trash can tonight.
Jiang Chen came to ask yesterday, but was sent away by the bodyguards at the door before he saw Tang Ji.
But it's not entirely without gain.
She knew that Tang Ji lived on the fourth floor of the villa, and she also knew that the Tang family actually only had five or six bodyguards, and that most of the security relied on monitoring equipment to automatically detect external intrusions, as if to promote the capabilities of Tang's AI.
She came again in the evening just to check out the place.
He discovered that a hidden dog hole had been developed in the garbage area specifically for his family's pets.
Yes, she crawled in through the dog hole.
While Jiang Chen was thinking about how to implement the plan smoothly, he put the garbage that had just rolled down back.
It was very heavy and took her a lot of effort.
Put it away and turn around.
Just happened to meet a pair of eyes full of playfulness.
Jiang Chen subconsciously staggered back a step.
The person who came was tall and slender. The dim street light made his shadow very long, and his face was blurred in the light and shadow.
He crossed his arms, raised his eyebrows and chin: "Who are you?"
"Who... am I?" Jiang Chen recognized the other person's voice and tried to move closer to him like he did in the past, but his body seemed to be repelled and his feet were nailed to the spot.
Her voice trembled: "Tang Ji, don't you know who I am?"
Tang Ji narrowed his eyes, as if he was really recalling something seriously, with the ending tone rising.
"I remember you came to see me yesterday. Do you like me?"
He looked like he didn't remember anything.
Lost your memory?
Or, is he acting?
The questioning sound was stuck in my throat.
She missed him so much, missed his voice so much.
Jiang Chen silently clenched his fists.
She didn't answer and changed the subject directly: "How did you know I came in?"
Tang Ji pointed his finger at the grass next to the dog hole, where a faint red light was visible.
She probably guessed it was a very small camera.
If you don't look carefully, you can't detect it at all, and it's even harder to detect when people are under high stress.
He let her in on purpose.
What is the purpose?
Didn’t he have her kicked out yesterday?
"There's no way my villa has such an obvious loophole. The old man was watching too closely and confiscated all my communication and electronic equipment. I asked the trustee to reveal a loophole specifically for you. I had someone dig it out for you yesterday afternoon."
Jiang Chen's pupils kept shrinking as he digested these words.
He saw everything she did, even the hints from him.
"But thanks to this young lady for living up to everyone's expectations and willing to crawl through a dog hole for me, I am really a little touched."
Tang Ji's voice rose slightly at the end, and the more he spoke, the closer his breathing became.
The movements were ambiguous, approaching Jiang Chen, and the moist air splashed on his earlobe.
The two shadows intertwined and overlapped, and it was impossible to tell whose shadow was the one being swallowed up.
"But I really don't remember when I first met this lady. Could you please help me recall?"
Tang Ji's tone was gentle, and his hand had already grasped her wrist tightly.
"Never mind, it's not important. I'm glad you came yesterday."
Jiang Chen looked at his tightly clasped hand with a look of surprise.
She was very sure that he was not Tang Ji.
Tang Ji would never grab her hand so roughly, nor would he use roundabout means to plot against her to achieve his own goals.
Her boyfriend has always been a gentle and considerate person.
There was also a fragrance on his body that made her unable to suppress and arouse impulse...
And the person in front of me.
No.
So where is her boyfriend?
She has a very good ear and rarely misidentifies someone.
With the same name, surname, and voice, there is no reason why they are not the same person.
Jiang Chen felt that the person in front of him was more likely to act out the role.
"Don't make such an incredible expression."
He was almost whispering to her ear.
Jiang Chen couldn't break free from his hand, so she had no choice but to let him gently pinch her jaw with his other hand. As if he felt it felt good, he moved forward half an inch and pinched her face.
"Don't move either."
"You want money? A car? A house? Or something else? I can satisfy you as long as you cooperate."
This statement is really incoherent and seems very strange.
She glanced to the side and saw a man standing in the corridor, his back hunched, looking at the two of them, and she didn't know how long he stood there.
He was taking advantage of her.
Where is "Tang Ji..."?
Jiang Chen's tone was anxious, and he was certain that this person had something to do with his boyfriend.
He was her only clue at the moment.
She even wondered what would happen if the two had such similar voices.
Did Tang Ji have a brother? Or perhaps a dual personality? It remains to be seen.
Before he could finish his words, they were forced to break in his mouth.
"Keep your voice down and don't attract anyone else. That's my old man. If I had known he would follow us, we shouldn't let him get caught."
Tang Ji tilted his head slightly to the side, and his sticky and hot eyes flowed and spread across Jiang Chen's face.
The warm tip of his thumb covered her lips, rubbing them in circles repeatedly.
Finally, stop at the center of the lips, and press slowly as if deliberately teasing.
"He insisted on getting me engaged to someone I didn't know. He wouldn't believe me even when I said I had someone I liked. This was the only option left. He knew I wasn't stupid enough to embarrass the Yao family in public, but he always cared about his reputation. Right here, the three of us, is enough."
Speaking of this.
He deliberately pulled Jiang Chen's lips down, his tone filled with strange reproach: "But why are you so late? Don't you like me? We were almost engaged, luckily it's not too late now."
He pretended to bend down and kiss her.
oh.
Listening to Tang Ji's plan, everything seems logical.
It seemed that he accidentally saw this unlucky girl bumping into him last night, and she just happened to run into his plan to ruin their engagement.
As Tang Ji's movements intensified, Jiang Chen's pupils suddenly shrank as he got closer.
He mercilessly kicked the back of his foot.
Tang Ji groaned, but he didn't stop moving. He gritted his teeth and said, "I won't take advantage of you. I'll just kiss my nails and let the old man see it. Do you understand?"
Jiang Chen stared at him and shook his head slowly.
She mouthed: "If you come any closer, I won't care if it attracts other people, I'm going to scream."
She hadn't figured out the situation yet and didn't want to kiss the other person without knowing the truth.
Even if the other person is really most likely her boyfriend, he might just be acting.
Tang Ji continued to press forward regardless.
Jiang Chen turned his head to avoid him, but was held down by him.
The next moment.
The crackling sound of electric current was heard.
The power went out in the entire villa, and the guests' sharp screams lasted only a few seconds before completely blending into the night.
Jiang Chen felt the shackles on his wrist loosen.
The man, who had to look up to see just now, immediately squatted down, his hands frantically searching his pockets and trouser pockets, probably looking for his cell phone, but he probably didn't bring it with him.
The power outage?
Can the power outage occur in such a big villa?
There was no sign of anyone in the corridor, probably because he had gone to ask someone to turn off the power.
Jiang Chen thought about it and suddenly realized that Tang Ji had let her go.
She inadvertently moved to the side, trying to maintain a "social safety distance" from Tang Ji.
She was so busy watching his one-sided "performance" that she had a lot of questions in her heart.
She took a step forward with all her strength.
Not moving at all.
She lowered her head, looking amused: "Can you please stop making trouble?"
Tang Ji pulled her trouser legs tightly.
Jiang Chen raised his foot, ready to move again.
Tang Ji immediately hugged her entire calf and pressed her down with his entire weight.
His voice was trembling, and even had a barely perceptible sob tinge to it: "Don't go, don't leave me alone again."
Does Tang Ji have a fear of darkness?
This is even more strange.
The street light bulb on the road where he used to take her home had been broken for two or three years and no one had taken care of it.
He changed it at night.
Jiang Chen thought of the plot he had read in a melodramatic novel about a domineering CEO. Adults reacted so strongly to the darkness, their personalities were completely different from when there was light. Most of them had suffered great trauma in their childhood.
Coincidentally, this person is also a domineering boss.
They all match.
And Jiang Chen's boyfriend.
While in love with her.
Normal doesn't look like a human being.
He was definitely not her boyfriend.
Such a similar sound was distorted in her ears, leaving only noise.
Jiang Chen stopped moving.
The remaining tenderness in his eyes faded away, replaced by indifference, and his face was expressionless.
She lowered her eyes to examine Tang Ji's current fear.
What better time than now?
When you are under high mental stress.
Humans are the most vulnerable, the most defenseless, and the most likely to reveal their secrets.
Jiang Chen slowly squatted down and looked at Tang Ji straight in the eye.
"What's my name?"
"Answer me."
She didn't want to call the man in front of her "Tang Ji" anymore.
A loud thunder sounded.
Tang Ji's mind went blank: "...I don't know."
The fragility in his eyes could not be faked.
But it didn't make Jiang Chen softer at all.
"Do you have any brothers?"
He shook his head.
"Do you have a mental illness?"
Tang Ji was breathing rapidly, with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead, which wrinkled Jiang Chen's trouser legs.
"I'm...afraid of the dark."
Jiang Chen continued to ask.
She must first confirm that the man in front of her is not her boyfriend in body or soul.
"You don't have any other mental illnesses, like split personality disorder, you're just afraid of the dark?"
"Just afraid of the dark."
Jiang Chen took a quick look towards the villa, worried that the power would soon be restored.
We can't go on like this.
Start making up stories and fooling around.
She stood up, looking down at him.
Try to maintain a smooth tone of voice.
"You know, if you lie to me, I'm capable of anything, just like tonight. You only found me, right? You didn't find my accomplice. You don't want to experience this kind of sudden power outage in the middle of the night again, do you?"
She calmly made up a non-existent "accomplice".
Then half guess and half inducement.
"There is no life, no sound, no light, only an endless darkness with no end... No one will care about your cries and fears."
"I'm not lying."
Tang Ji covered his ears with one hand, his eyes were wet, and the emotions he showed did not seem fake.
There's only one last thing left to confirm.
"You're not Tang Ji? Tang Ji is your substitute, or you are his substitute, you replaced him, or more likely..." Jiang Chen didn't want to think in the worst direction, "You killed him?"
Tang Ji kept shaking his head, rubbing his face against her calves, and stopped talking.
Jiang Chen frowned and poked him, becoming increasingly impatient: "Hmm? Tell me? Really?"
“Click—”
It's quick in action.
The sudden brightness made Jiang Chen squint unconsciously, and she raised her hand to cover her eyes.
At the same time, the screen of the mobile phone in her pocket suddenly lit up.
A message popped up from an unknown number.
The content is the way of speaking she is most familiar with.
[Xiao Chen, you weren't hurt just now, were you? ]
The author has something to say:
----------------------
1. The male and female protagonists are both pure in body and mind, and it is a human-machine love story.
2. The heroine is not a strong woman. She has severe anxious attachment and trauma disorders. Her personality is relatively ordinary. The story will describe some of her stress reactions and a lot of psychological problems. She is slowly growing up.
3. In the early stage of the male protagonist's chapter, the entity is damaged and there is no entity. In the later stage, it will take the initiative to force the entity many times and will arrange it.
4. AI has no gender because the female protagonist's sexual orientation is male, so it assumes it is male.
5. There are many private settings, some of which have nothing to do with reality and are not rigorous.
6. Contains slightly melodramatic Mary Sue elements.
There is also a pre-collection of "Broken Kiss"
Copywriter:
[The heroine who clearly loves and hates x the hero who lacks love and has a cleft tongue]
1.
Liang Ning has always been an invisible person at home.
Everything she has belongs to her twin sister.
Even if she isn't, she will become her sister sooner or later.
Her parents, her good friends.
Including the person she had a crush on for the first time, who took the initiative to hold her sister's hand after turning around and leaving.
Even though they look exactly the same, and even though her sister has never deliberately tried to snatch it from her.
After graduating and starting work, Liang Ning gradually began to accept his fate.
Because even her current easy and lucrative job was arranged for her by her sister through her connections.
She was really bored with such days.
So she signed up for a party in a niche circle.
Everyone wore a mask and the music was loud.
For the first time, Liang Ning was approached while sitting at the bar. The other party was at least 1.9 meters tall.
She looked up at the man's lips moving, not catching a single word, her attention completely focused on his tongue.
This man, like her unbudding first love, had a split tongue.
The tongue split into two halves like a snake spitting out its tongue.
Liang Ning, under the influence of alcohol, grabbed Lin Yuchuan by the collar and said what she hadn't finished saying back then: "Is it true that kissing someone with a split tongue is like being entangled by two tongues?"
Lin Yuchuan moved closer and said with a smile: "You can try it."
Liang Ning was just about to put into practice the idea of "just give it a try".
He placed his fingertips on her lips and gently pressed down: "Before we try, you have to tell me your name, right?"
She blinked and thought for a moment: "Liang Ning."
This is her sister's name.
2.
Lin Yuchuan was born with a cleft tongue and always wears a mask.
Even when eating, I have to hide from others and eat alone.
Until Liang Ning appeared, a man several years older than her.
She kept calling him brother in his ear and tried to take off his mask to find out his secrets.
But it was this person who, when she first saw his tongue, was not afraid. Instead, she approached him curiously and asked, "Lin Yuchuan, are you a person with split tongue..."
The question suddenly stopped and she didn't ask any further.
On the day Lin Yuchuan came of age, he couldn't help but pull Liang Ning aside and ask her what kind of things Liang Ning liked.
After that, Liang Ning inadvertently began to avoid him and even fled to a strange city that no one knew except Liang Ning.
Finally, Lin Yuchuan took great pains to find Liang Ning through her social media account, and he couldn't wait to walk up to her.
Her eyes were hazy, she held his index finger in her mouth and spoke incoherently, saying that she wanted to kiss him, and every word she said was drunken talk.
He smiled and tried to tease her, asking her name.
But she said her name was Liang Ning.
*Double purity, purity in all aspects.
*Sweet and sour, with some melodramatic misunderstandings.
