Chapter 47
The sound startled several seagulls that were resting on the shore. Looking at their hurriedly flapping wings and flying away, Xie Changshi felt that he might have really pissed off Rong Jing. If he didn't comfort her well, he would be the one to become a pig's hoof.
After all, Rong Jing was still carrying his bag when he went to the island.
He coaxed him: "I won't tease you anymore, let's go, I'll grill some fish for you."
Rong Jing: "...Am I the kind of zombie that can be bribed with a grilled fish?"
When it came to this stage of bargaining, both Xie Changshi and Rong Jing seemed to be very experienced. One knew what the other wanted, and the other knew the other was willing to give anything, so they pushed hard.
Sure enough, Xie Changshi took the initiative and said, "Two, plus a drink."
Rong Jing: "Three, one salt and pepper, one spicy, one sauce, and a drink. Teeth grinding is extra."
Xie Changshi laughed: "Okay."
Rong Jing finally withdrew his foot from Xie Changshi's instep, but he continued to follow Xie Changshi, his thoughts clearly still lingering. "But you did say you liked me just now."
As he spoke, he put the backpack on his back to the front and unzipped it.
Through the gap, Xie Changshi first caught a glimpse of a stack of talisman paper.
It seems that as long as he denies it, he will still be turned into a pig.
He thought Rong Jing's threatening look was too cute, and he didn't intend to hide it anymore, so he nodded and smiled, "Yeah, I told you, I like you."
Unexpectedly, the man who had been deceiving people before would be so straightforward now. Rong Jing couldn't react for a while.
Xie Changshi pinched his soft cheeks and said, "I hope the little zombie will seriously think about whether he likes me or not. Not as a good friend, but as a lover."
After a pause, he added: "But don't put too much pressure on yourself."
He could allow Rong Jing not to understand feelings, or not have that kind of intention towards him. After all, they had depended on each other. Perhaps in Rong Jing's eyes, he was just a qualified owner or a reliable brother.
But he didn't want Rong Jing to be scared away by his love.
Rong Jing had been away from him for twelve years, but it could only be twelve years.
Rong Jing didn't know what he was thinking. The words "I hope the little zombie will think seriously about whether he likes me or not" kept echoing in his ears. The person who was originally teasing him suddenly became so serious. Rong Jing was a little stunned. He pinched his fingers and said "oh" dryly after a long while.
"Go check the room first, then I'll grill some fish for you."
Rong Jing nodded obediently.
Arriving at the bedroom of the holiday villa, Rong Jing couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone, found the forum again, and posted skillfully: He said he liked me, and asked me to think seriously about whether I like him.
2L: I knew that one day I would be fed some real dog food after visiting this kind of forum.
3L: I have a single friend who has lost his temper. I hope the poster will delete the post as soon as possible.
4L: I love to watch and post more.
5L: The poster wouldn’t really think about it, right?
6L: How do you punctuate the above sentence? Thinking, on? I agree.
After the first two times, Rong Jing had truly felt how open-minded the netizens in this forum were. He pretended to be used to it, ignored their replies, and then asked: How can I be sure that my love for him is not just for a good friend, but for him to be my boyfriend?
12L: You've already had your own reactions, why are you still asking this kind of question? Just find someone you consider a good friend and imagine you two hugging each other.
Mirror...
Rong Jing put down his phone, held his chin up and looked up at the sky.
His mind automatically replaced Xie Changshi in the sea that night with other good friends.
They are Lu Yunji, Song Qing, Cheng Puyu, Chi Bai and Si Liu.
Then, Rong Jing shuddered violently.
What a scary picture.
I'm going to have a nightmare tonight.
He quickly replied to 12L, saying: Thank you, Master, I understand.
12L also replied to him: Remember to give wedding candy when you get married.
It was just a simple sentence, but Rong Jing didn't know why he felt a little embarrassed. He didn't feel comfortable replying and quickly closed the forum.
After changing his clothes, Rong Jing pushed the door open and walked into the living room, only to find Xie Changshi still there. Noticing his figure, the man waved at him, "Come here."
When Rong Jing walked over, she found that he was holding a bottle of sunscreen in his hand.
He looked down at his skin, dreading the thought of what he would look like as a zombie if he got tanned… he felt it would be distorted. Then he decisively reached out and said to Xie Changshi, "Apply more."
Mr. Xie, the old father, obediently applied the sunscreen to Rong Jing's two fair arms. But when his eyes moved to his legs, he decided not to challenge his self-control and handed the sunscreen to Rong Jing: "Apply the rest yourself."
Rong Jing wanted to struggle, but Xie Changshi looked at him and deliberately put his fingers on his legs, and Rong Jing shivered sensitively.
The boy reacted and snatched the sunscreen from Xie Changshi's hand without saying a word. He said seriously, "I can do this kind of thing myself."
He's a pretty independent little zombie.
Xie Changshi stood up and patted his head: "Come find me outside when you're done."
Although Rong Jing loved grilled fish, he had never tried it himself. He thought the experience would be quite novel, so he smeared some of the sauce on his legs and rushed out the door impatiently. The island sun was hot and glaring during the day. Rong Jing spotted a pair of sunglasses on a small cabinet nearby and immediately picked them up, putting them to his nose. Then, following the scent of the seasoning, he found Xie Changshi in the open space.
The man stood lazily in front of the grill, skillfully sprinkling cumin on the fish. The sea breeze brought the cumin to Rong Jing, and he couldn't help but sneeze.
The noise attracted the man's attention, and Xie Changshi said to him, "It will take some time for the fish to be cooked. If you can't wait, you can go to the beach and play first."
Then he pointed his finger forward: "It should be within my sight."
But Rong Jing was unexpectedly prepared. He took out a water-repellent talisman from his pocket and said, "You can't drown me."
Xie Changshi laughed: "Okay, but still be careful."
Rong Jing rushed to the beach happily.
Last night he and Xie Changshi just took a walk on the beach, and then something like that happened, so he didn't have a good time, let alone go swimming in the sea.
When I was watching the variety show, I thought swimming in the sea was very interesting.
It's not comparable to a swimming pool at all.
Relying on the water-repellent talisman, Rong Jing walked to the side, then dived into the sea, as happy as a mermaid.
Not long after, Rong Jing emerged from the sea and saw Xie Changshi walking towards him. The man was holding the grilled fish he had been longing for.
Rong Jing immediately climbed out of the water.
Xie Changshi saw that not even a hair on his head was wet, and his eyebrows raised slightly.
This swimming feels like not swimming at all.
I don't know what I was doing just now.
…
Although Xie Changshi is a domineering boss, the cooking skills he has developed over the years play a significant role in his grilled fish. The ingredients are spread evenly, and the fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Especially the spicy grilled fish, which is spicy and refreshing. Rong Jing was sweating on his forehead after eating it.
Xie Changshi handed over a glass of pomegranate juice at the right time.
"It's so delicious." Rong Jing thought while eating, Xie Changshi is such a good cook, it's not impossible to marry Xie Changshi.
After eating the grilled fish, Rong Jing splashed in the sea again.
Xie Changshi sat aside, occasionally picking up his mobile phone to take a couple of photos of Rong Jing and then posting them on his Moments.
After a while, I received a comment from Lu Yunji: I was wondering why the hardship of this business trip fell on me, it turns out that the boss is having fun with the handsome guy :)
Special Assistant Song couldn't help but comment: I was wondering why the hardship of this business trip fell on me, it turns out that the boss is having fun with the handsome guy :)
Cheng Puyu, who was not on a business trip, sat in the Tianditong hotpot restaurant, biting his chopsticks and watching the fun.
Xie Changshi didn't bother to pay attention to them. He turned off his phone and looked up to find that the head on the sea near the beach had disappeared. He frowned slightly and stood up and walked towards the beach. However, after taking two steps, he saw the head pop up again. Rong Jing waved at him and asked, "Xie Changshi, do you want to come with me? I also have a water-repellent talisman."
Rong Jing pulled out a water-repellent talisman from his pocket and waved it in front of Xie Changshi. "I've checked. There are reefs over there. We can go catch lobsters."
Xie Changshi had a diving certificate, but he was also very interested in the water-repellent talisman, so he nodded in agreement.
But what the two men never expected was that they didn't catch any lobsters, but they did see two dead bodies.
Rong Jing saw a dark figure ahead, and before he could react, Xie Changshi grabbed his ankle. He turned around and saw Xie Changshi pointing at the sea. A few seconds later, the two of them broke through the water. The man pulled Rong Jing to his side, narrowing his eyes and looking at the dark figure not far away.
They were now near a reef, with a forest and cliffs above them, and a lot of lush green grass and trees growing around them. At first glance, they thought the black shadow was a projection of a tree trunk.
"Go up first."
Rong Jing nodded obediently.
When I got to the shore and changed my position, I could see the shadow's true appearance more clearly.
"It really is a corpse..." Rong Jing took a breath and turned to look at Xie Changshi, "We need to call the police."
"Well, I'll call first."
The island was a long way from the nearest pier, and it would take at least two hours for the police to arrive. In order to prevent the two bodies from floating away, Rong Jing threw down two talismans.
He lay on the cliff and looked down at the two bodies. They were wearing clothes and looked relatively intact. They must have been dead not long ago.
Rong Jing muttered, "It seems a bit of a coincidence. How did this corpse just happen to float here? Could it be that the ancestor is playing tricks again?"
Just as Xie Changshi opened his mouth, he saw Rong Jing take two steps back as if blown by a gust of wind and unable to stand steadily.
It can be seen that the ancestor is showing his power again.
Xie Changshi: “…”
Rong Jing said firmly, "That's right, that's right. He only pays attention to me when he's angry and embarrassed. If you don't believe me, I'll make a wish for money to fall from the sky—"
boom.
Another gust of wind.
Rong Jing was almost blown off the cliff, but fortunately Xie Changshi grabbed his wrist.
The man's face showed a hint of amusement and helplessness, and he advised him: "Why are you making trouble with the Grandmaster every day?"
Rong Jing: "It was obviously him who was making trouble with me."
boom.
The wind blew again, and Rong Jing learned his lesson this time. He immediately turned around and hid behind Xie Changshi. Then he watched the wind that was rushing towards Xie Changshi forcefully turn, only lifting a corner of the man's clothes, and then dissipated.
Xie Changshi: “…”
It’s not enough that Rong Jing is young, but the reaction of the Grandmaster seems to be almost the same as Rong Jing’s.
As they chatted back and forth, the police finally arrived. They were from Ancheng, seven or eight of them. Three were responsible for questioning Rong Jing and Xie Changshi, while the others were responsible for recovering the bodies.
The officer in charge of the questioning looked up and down in his glasses and asked uncertainly, "Are you saying that you and your friend found the body while diving? But you two don't look wet at all."
Rong Jing showed his water-repellent talisman.
Although the policeman couldn't understand the patterns on the water-repellent talisman, he looked at the yellow paper and immediately exclaimed, "That makes sense."
After finding out what happened, the police took the two bodies away. They still had a lot of work to do, such as investigating the identity of the bodies and the cause of death.
As soon as they left, Rong Jing no longer had any mood to play around. She rested until the evening, watched a beautiful sunset at the beach with Xie Changshi, and then returned to the holiday villa early.
After eating a fresh seafood barbecue, Rong Jing returned to the room, touching his stomach with satisfaction.
After lying down for ten minutes, I sent a message to Xie Changshi: I’ll owe you the drink for now.
I ate too much today and can’t drink anymore.
Xie Changshi didn't tease him or say that it was too late to wait, but just said: Go to bed early.
Rong Jing responded on the surface, but secretly opened the forum again.
After an afternoon of absence, his profile was flooded with notifications. Clicking on them, he saw netizens asking: "Are you sure you're interested? Did you have sex with him? How many times? In bed or at the beach?"
Rong Jing: “???”
We are just netizens. Isn't this a bit too presumptuous?
It's even more presumptuous of Bi Si Liu to ask for support.
Rong Jing looked at those explicit words and felt like his head was smoking. He decisively uninstalled the forum, stuffed his phone under his pillow, closed his eyes and went to sleep.
However--
As soon as I closed my eyes, it was as if someone was repeating in my ear: Did you sleep with him? How many times? In bed or in the sea?
Rong Jing: “…”
Help!
Rong Jing grunted as he climbed up from the bed, opened his backpack, took out a sleeping talisman, and sent a message to Xie Changshi: Remember to wake me up tomorrow morning.
Then, he put it on his forehead with a click and fell asleep.
When Xie Changshi received the message, he didn't think much about it and just said "OK".
It wasn't until the next day when I opened the door that I saw the little zombie lying straight with a talisman stuck on its forehead. At first glance, it looked like it was sealed.
Xie Changshi: “…”
He stepped forward, bent down, and peeled off the talisman. At the same moment, the young man suddenly opened his eyes, and his mouth was faster than his brain, and he blurted out: "No."
Xie Changshi: “Hmm?”
Rong Jing came back to his senses: "..."
He gave Xie Changshi a sweet smile, feeling guilty: "I dreamed that someone asked me if I would go to work."
Xie Changshi knew at once that the little zombie was lying, but he didn't expose him. He just patted the zombie's head with a half-smile and said, "It's okay. You can go back to work tomorrow."
Rong Jing: “…”
I don't really need such comfort.
…
That afternoon, Xie Changshi looked at the weather forecast and saw that there might be a storm on the island, so he and Rong Jing took a yacht and left the island early.
It was already nine in the evening when they returned to Yunjiang Bay. Rong Jing sprawled on the sofa, one leg dangling, yawning as he uploaded photos to his WeChat Moments. He picked out a lot of them, many of Xie Changshi: Xie Changshi sitting on the beach, Xie Changshi grilling fish, Xie Changshi drinking water. Rong Jing uploaded any photos he thought looked good.
After uploading, Rong Jing scrolled down the Moments and saw the photo that Xie Changshi shared yesterday. She stared at it for a few seconds and felt as if they were already in love.
Rong Jing held her face in her hands and suddenly felt her heart soften.
He looked up to see Xie Changshi, and just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by the ringing of his cell phone.
I looked down and saw Chi Bai's name.
After the call was connected, the other party's carefree voice came over: "I saw your circle of friends, are you going back to Yancheng?"
Rong Jing hummed.
Chi Bai then continued, "I heard that you found two bodies in the sea near Ancheng. The special department in Ancheng just called me."
Special department?
Rong Jing thought about how calm the policeman who questioned him looked after he showed him the water-repellent talisman, and guessed that the Ancheng Police Station must also have a special department.
But... why did the other party specifically find Chi Baitou?
While I was puzzled, I heard Chi Bai say, "The police investigated the two bodies and found that they belonged to two high school students. They were a couple and had planned to jump into the sea together. They had even tied their legs together before jumping into the sea. Hmm... maybe they wanted to be reincarnated together after death."
Rong Jing didn't know what to say when he heard this, until the next moment Chi Bai sneered: "But after further investigation by the police, they found that these two people had played the spirit summoning game."
A psychic game?!
These familiar words entered Rong Jing's mind, causing him to hiss.
He quickly asked, "Was it the work of the evil spirits we summoned?"
Chi Bai: "I'm not sure yet. Ancheng's special department is investigating. However, they've discovered that the spirit summoning game seems to be very popular in major universities recently. Not only in Ancheng, but also in many other places, high school and college students are playing this thing."
Rong Jing thought of Xu Yue's nephew.
He thought about it and told the story of Xu Yue's nephew.
Chi Bai: "Give me the contact information of Xu Yue, and I'll contact him."
Rong Jing: "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Rong Jing sat cross-legged on the sofa, chin up, thinking. Xie Changshi walked over, lowered his eyes and asked him, "What's wrong?"
Rong Jing recounted in detail what Chi Bai had learned, and then whispered, "It seems that the Grandmaster really did send those two here on purpose."
Xie Changshi saw how cautious he was and patted his head: "Don't worry, just speak loudly. The windows are all closed."
The wind can't blow in.
Rong Jing: "...Xie Changshi, you are so considerate."
The man acknowledged this advantage and said with satisfaction: "I hope this will be a plus point for you to consider me as a boyfriend."
Rong Jing: “…”
The next day, Rong Jing went to the studio according to the schedule of 9 am to 5 pm.
He arrived around 8:50, but when he arrived, Yan Yingyao, who also had the key, had already opened all the windows in the studio and was carefully and diligently wiping the tables and chairs with a wet rag.
Rong Jing was stunned.
Si Liu, who floated in, yawned and glanced at Young Master Yan, then exclaimed, "He's quite capable."
Rong Jing nodded.
He filmed this scene and sent it to Xie Changshi, who then sent it to Yan Chengde.
A few minutes later, Yan Yingyao's phone in his pocket vibrated wildly. He stood up, took it out, and exclaimed, "Holy crap!"
Then he turned around and said, "Two masters, I'll treat you to lunch today. You can eat whatever you want, just go for something more expensive!"
His uncle, his father, and his mother all transferred one million yuan to his card as if they had made an agreement.
Although Yan Yingyao was not short of the three million, it was rare for the three patriarchs to take the initiative to give him money.
Master Rong, who was known for his hidden talents, didn't hesitate to greet him. As he passed by him, he said, "I want some roast chicken."
Young Master Yan waved his hand and said, "Eat."
Si Liu: "I want to eat roast duck."
Young Master Yan waved his hand again and said, "I'll give you one hundred each!"
That’s not all. At noon, all the customers who stayed in the studio waiting for their turn to be called received a takeaway from the Yancheng Five-Star Hotel, including Xu Yue who came to find Rong Jing.
Xu Yue looked down at the pocket with a conspicuous logo in his hand, then looked at the young man who was shouting, "Remember to throw the garbage into the big trash can outside after you finish eating." Xu Yue couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and post on Weibo.
The pitiful worker: Family members, the young assistant I met in Master Rong’s studio seems to be a rich second-generation.
By the way, I also posted a photo of the takeaway.
Xu Yue's Weibo account has only a few friends. He usually posts daily complaints about his boss, and the number of views never exceeds 100. But today, as soon as he posted on Weibo, he received several likes.
After finishing my meal, I looked at my phone and found that there were hundreds of comments.
Xu Yue: “?”
He clicked it.
[More than just a rich second generation, they are a super rich second generation.]
[Perhaps you've heard of Yan Yingyao, the dandy young master of Yancheng?]
[I'm going to fight you guys. Why didn't I get such good treatment when I came here last week?]
[Can I still eat it without asking Master Rong for a fortune-telling?]
[Excuse me, I'd like to ask, is it just free takeout? Is there a service where Master Rong can feed the food? If Master Rong is not available, Master Yan can feed the food as well/cute]
Xu Yue: “…”
He wondered how these people had found his Weibo account. Then, after a quick search, he was shocked to discover that a blogger with millions of followers was sitting across from him. When Xu Yue looked over, he saw the other person still fiddling with his plate, snapping photos.
He threw the package into the trash can and knocked on the workshop door.
The door was opened, and Rong Jing was sitting on a chair eating roast chicken. Si Liu moved a sofa to the side, and used his salary in advance to buy a computer and put it on the coffee table. He was wrapping roast duck while watching a drama.
Seeing the two of them looking over at him at the same time, Xu Yue quickly closed the door and said to them, "Master Rong, Mr. Si, I'm here to express my gratitude today."
thank?
Didn’t the incident of Si Liu scaring Xu Yue end long ago, and didn’t Xu Yue thank him?
Meeting Rong Jing's puzzled gaze, Xu Yue knew he had misjudged her and quickly said, "It was about my nephew playing the spirit summoning game. Deputy Minister Chi told me that if it weren't for Mr. Si, my nephew might have ended up like that high school couple."
"About this matter," Si Liu glanced at him, "Don't be polite, just consider it my apology for scaring you."
Rong Jing motioned him to sit down. Curious about the matter, he asked, "What did your nephew say?"
Xu Yue said truthfully, "He said he was pulled into a group chat by his roommate, and the group owner said that the spirit summoning game could help them realize their wishes—"
Si Liu: "Isn't this a clear scam term?"
Rong Jing was surprised: "It's only been one morning and you already know the words used in scams?"
Si Liu turned the laptop in front of him, and the picture on it turned out to be a fraud documentary.
Seeing that the two had seen the image clearly, Si Liu turned the computer back and said to Xu Yue, "Add WeChat and I'll transfer it to your nephew later to refresh his mind."
Xu Yue: “…”
