Chapter 188 The Madman
Song Zhu looked up and asked, "Why are you here?"
He Jing said, "Work."
Song Zhu asked curiously, "Work?"
He Jing smiled and said, "I can't tell you that."
Actually, he had also taken on a job from Xia Yu, which was to keep a close eye on Lu Jin. If Lu Jin revealed any flaws or had any improper contact with other women, He Jing had to take photos as evidence.
Of course, what Xia Yu said at that time was: "Take pictures of him with other women, understand?"
The implication is that even if Lu Jin doesn't have any intimate relationship with other women, if they get a little too close, then photos must be taken as evidence.
Sometimes, even using a forced perspective in photography is acceptable.
But as a man himself, He Jing had to admit that Lu Jin was practically flawless. From beginning to end, apart from Xia Zhen, Lu Jin never spent time alone with any woman, leaving no room for misunderstanding.
He Jing even suspected that if a sow walked by on the roadside, Lu Jin would walk around it.
He sincerely admired the Lu family; they were truly eccentric. They would pour all their emotions into the person they liked, while ignoring everyone else. But when it came to the person they liked, they treated them like caged birds.
Yes, it's a canary.
This is how Lu Qi treated Lin Ruo.
Lu Jin felt the same way about Xia Zhen.
The only difference is that Xia Zhen seems to enjoy it.
It's a strange coincidence that more than ten years ago, He Jing started working early to support his family and became Xia Zhen's private photographer. It was during the process of following Xia Zhen that he saved Song Zhu, who was being targeted by bad guys.
More than ten years later, he came to film Lu Jin again and encountered Song Zhu standing by the roadside, holding a broken phone and looking lost. And now, he has met her here again.
To be honest, He Jing's conscience was a little aching.
It seems that this child's adolescent delusions are indeed related to the book he carelessly gave her back then.
Song Zhu is Song Heng's younger sister, and Lu Jin is definitely at odds with Song Heng. If Song Zhu discovers Lu Jin and Xia Zhen's secret semi-cohabitation and passes the news to Xia Yu, then the peaceful life of this young couple will definitely be affected.
Given Lu Jin's vengeful nature, it's uncertain whether Song Zhu will suffer in the future.
He Jing sighed inwardly, thinking that his life plan was to earn enough money in the first thirty years to retire and enjoy life. He didn't expect that he would have to worry about this so soon.
However, after glancing down at Song Zhu's innocent and naive appearance, he sighed again.
Ultimately, it was his own fault for being so impulsive back then.
He pointed to the ticket in Song Zhu's hand, "The movie you're watching is starting in two minutes."
Song Zhu came to her senses and forgot that the backs of the two people who entered Theater 3 looked familiar. She looked up and searched for Theater 6.
He Jing held out his movie ticket and waved it in front of her. "Come with me."
Song Zhu quickly caught up with him and said the same thing he had said when he took her home last time, "Uncle Hei, you are such a good person."
He Jing gave a bitter laugh; he had no desire to be a good person.
Twelve years ago, he rushed out to save her in order to be a good person and fought with the man who wanted to kidnap her. When he got back, he found that he had broken a rib. Because of the rest, he lost two of the three part-time jobs he had found.
During his recovery, he could only feed insects out of boredom. Strangely enough, the insect actually survived and eventually turned into a cocoon, then into a butterfly and flew away.
He glanced down at the short girl following closely behind him, figuring she'd probably forgotten all about it anyway.
The lights were dim in the private room of the bar.
The boy lying on the sofa opened his blurry eyes, still groggy from the hangover. His brain was sluggish, and after staring at the ceiling for a long time, he asked, "What time is it?"
A red-haired boy next to him replied, "It's 10:30."
The blond-haired guy asked with concern, "Boss, are you alright?"
Song Heng turned his head to the side, his usually delicate and sculpted face showing an unusual weariness. He asked in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong with me?"
He's had drunk times before, but those two never had such strange expressions.
The red-haired and yellow-haired men exchanged a glance.
Red Hair cautiously began, "Boss, when you were drunk, we thought we heard Tang Susu's name."
Song Heng closed his eyes to rest, and calmly replied, "Mm."
Even though he didn't remember exactly what he did, he still had some recollection of the fact that Red Hair and Yellow Hair were people who had followed him since junior high school. Even before his rebirth, when he was in such a desperate situation, these two people were doing their best to help him.
Therefore, after his rebirth, he did not avoid these two people in many things.
It's normal to dream about Tang Susu, right?
After all, isn't the person he likes Tang Susu?
The blond-haired man spoke nervously, "Boss, you were indeed calling for Tang Susu when you were drunk, but after you fell asleep, you called for Zhenzhen all night..."
Song Heng opened his eyes.
Red Hair hesitated before saying, "If you can't let go of Xia Zhen, boss, we support you in taking her back..."
"I'm going to the restroom." Song Heng interrupted Hong Mao, got off the sofa, and staggered out of the private room.
The blond-haired man said to the red-haired man in shock, "What are you saying? Xia Zhen is about to get engaged, and you still want to support the boss in stealing her away? Isn't that being a homewrecker?!"
Red Hair glanced at it and said, "Do you think that even if I didn't say such things, given the boss's personality, if he really couldn't let go of Miss Xia, he would just silently wish her well?"
Yellow Hair: "..."
In the corridor, Song Heng leaned against the wall with one hand, his steps slow, his eyes vacant, as if aimless.
Suddenly, someone bumped into him.
She was a girl wearing a white dress and with her hair in a ponytail. Just as she was about to fall, he instinctively reached out and grabbed her arm.
Ruan Mianmian raised her head, her eyes showing surprise.
Song Heng mumbled in a daze, "It wasn't her..."
Ruan Mianmian's expression changed.
He released her hand and walked past her.
Ruan Mianmian called out, "Song Heng!"
The boy kept walking.
Since the world restarted, Ruan Mianmian has done so many things with the help of the system, but she has never made him remember her name, let alone give him a second glance. It's as if she is only qualified to watch his back.
She finally couldn't hold back any longer and cried out, "Song Heng, Xia Zhen has abandoned you. She's the one who wronged you. Why are you still so hung up on her!"
Song Heng stopped in his tracks.
Ruan Mianmian: "I'm the one who's always been watching over you. I'm the one who came up with the plan to give you a second chance at life. In this world, I'm the one who's best for you!"
He turned around.
Before Ruan Mianmian could react, he grabbed her hand again. He was very strong and dragged her into a restroom before she even had a chance to speak.
This assertive attitude was something she had never experienced before.
Ruan Mianmian blushed, and her heart suddenly started pounding.
The bathroom door was closed.
She looked up at him, "Song Heng..."
But then, she was pushed against the wall, and a hand gripped her neck, making her unable to utter a single word in pain.
He said, "Don't waste any more time. I'm only giving you five minutes to explain yourself. What do you mean by giving me a chance to be reborn?"
Ruan Mianmian struggled to breathe as she looked at the boy's expressionless face.
The coldness in his eyes was so different from his previous high spirits and listless demeanor, and also different from the way he used to look at Xia Zhen.
This was the first time she had felt fear.
Ruan Mianmian: "Song... Song Heng... I..."
The hand on her neck tightened, interrupting Ruan Mianmian's voice, and her face turned pale.
Song Heng lowered his eyes, his gaze gloomy. "I said, I don't want to hear any nonsense."
Ruan Mianmian trembled all over.
He's a madman!
