Chapter 271 Extra: Tan Cheng x Cen Wenxing (23)
Cen Wenxing noticed that Tan Cheng would act suspiciously every night before bed. He deliberately walked away, then turned back to find Tan Cheng taking medicine.
It's still his Vitamin C bottle.
However, it contains the shapes of no less than four different medicines, clearly indicating that they are not the same medicine.
"Is it all Vitamin C?"
"And calcium supplements."
Which one is the calcium supplement?
Tan Cheng pointed.
Cen Wenxing glanced at him, saw that he looked normal, and then popped the calcium tablet into his mouth. Tan Cheng's expression immediately became tense, as if the message "I can't eat this" was written all over his face.
Cen Wenxing pretended not to see it, but the moment he put it in his mouth, Tan Cheng couldn't help but say something.
“These are my calcium tablets, you can’t eat them.”
"Special offer 1?"
"Um……"
What the hell!
Where can I find calcium supplements like this?
Cen Wenxing returned the medicine to him, jokingly.
"Taking medicine secretly, won't that affect your sexual function?"
Tan Cheng's eyes widened, and the words of rebuttal were subconsciously on the tip of his tongue, but then he began to doubt because of what Xingxing said.
His hesitation silenced Cen Wenxing.
Then they both fell silent.
Tan Cheng: "I didn't ask."
He took out his phone, pretending to ask a question.
Cen Wenxing quickly stopped him.
"Don't you know your own body?"
Tan Cheng seemed to realize this only then.
"That shouldn't have any impact. You lie next to me every night, and I—"
Cen Wenxing covered his mouth.
"I understand, stop talking. Since you already have your own feelings, why were you silent just now?"
"Because you said it, Star."
Cen Wenxing smiled.
"Isn't that stupid?"
Tan Cheng shook his head.
Cen Wenxing was slightly taken aback and poured him a glass of warm water.
"Stop eating it secretly, or you'll eat it all."
"Okay, I understand."
Cen Wenxing counted that Tan Cheng had to take a total of thirteen kinds of medicine every day.
Some people take it three times a day, while others take it twice a day.
Cen Wenxing recalled that Yu Ni had once told him about Tan Cheng's insomnia, and Yu Ni probably knew the reason why Tan Cheng was taking medicine.
He offered to go see Yu Ni with Tan Cheng.
The two of them went together.
Rounding it off means it's a date.
Tan Cheng unilaterally regarded this outing as a date.
He had waited so long and learned so much from Zhou Chong. In Zhou Chong's words, today was the day to show his true skills.
Although he sometimes felt that Zhou Chong's teaching was not very reliable, and seemed to simply want to get rid of him.
Because Zhou Chong seemed very eager to get close to Shan Qingshan.
But Tan Cheng made many preparations for this moment.
He even took notes.
When he went out, Tan Cheng was visibly stiff.
So nervous I was walking in the wrong direction.
He spoke in the car as if reciting a memorized text, and stumbled over his words several times.
Upon arriving at her aunt's house, Yu Ni and Cen Wenxing quickly began playing the violin together.
Tan Cheng couldn't get a word in edgewise.
He sat in the chair for a moment, recalling how Xingxing had praised his aunt's sauerkraut fish during dinner.
He can go and ask that aunt how she did it.
Cen Wenxing looked at Tan Cheng.
He was pressing the housekeeper for answers.
Approximately how much? A few grams? What is the ratio? What does it feel like? What is the numerical value?
The aunt was extremely annoyed.
However, Tan Cheng is kind of cute.
At least that's what Cen Wenxing thinks.
He looked away.
"You know what medicine Tan Cheng is taking, right?"
"I didn't expect you to ask this question."
After all, when she had subtly brought it up last time, Cen Wenxing's expression wasn't what she had expected.
Yu Ni: "He can't sleep, and medication doesn't help."
Yu Ni looked at Tan Cheng.
Even if her own child has no expression, she can tell he is happy.
The only problem is that our own housekeeper is a bit of a nuisance.
“Actually, I think he can recover as long as he leaves the house you lived in together, but he can’t bear to leave, after all, you only left traces in that place.”
Cen Wenxing was slightly taken aback, but his heart was pounding so hard it was deafening.
Yu Ni smiled gently.
"However, I think his condition is improving; he looks much better. He doesn't seem to want you to know."
Yu Ni changed the subject.
"I heard you got married. Is it because of your scandal?"
“Yes,” Cen Wenxing admitted frankly, “I’m very sorry that I let him have a marriage under those circumstances.”
Yu Ni: "But Xiao Cheng is very happy. As long as he's happy, that's enough."
Yu Ni: "His current emotions are something that nothing else can provide for him for many years to come. Even if it doesn't end well, his current happiness is genuine."
Yu Ni: "Many people say that Xiao Cheng is a genius, but he had a very miserable childhood. Of course, in my opinion, he is also very pitiful now. He is too sensitive to numbers. While others are looking at the stars, he is calculating the distance to the stars. So he will always be an outlier among his peers."
Yu Ni stood up and looked towards a pavilion in the garden.
“When Xiao Cheng was little, he often sat there, as if all he knew in the world was mathematics and the starry sky. The world that geniuses understand is always different from the world we see, so he is lonely to this day and doesn’t seem very smart, a little silly.”
Cen Wenxing's gaze shifted from the small pavilion to Yu Ni's face, and then to Tan Cheng, who was diligently taking notes.
His sensitivity to numbers meant he rarely needed to take notes.
But he always kept a note of his favorite dishes and snacks.
"He's not stupid."
Yu Ni looked at Cen Wenxing in shock.
Although he often says he's dull, but...
"I've met all sorts of people, adults and children alike, each with their own agendas. Who knows how many sordid thoughts lie behind those wine glasses? After all, people are complex individuals, and Tan Cheng..."
Yu Ni waited for Cen Wenxing to continue.
But he stared at Tan Cheng for a long time.
He said, "He's just not that complicated."
Yu Ni's eyes flickered slightly, and she suddenly felt that Tan Cheng's marriage might not be so bad after all.
Before Tan Cheng left, Yu Ni quietly pulled him aside.
I wanted to encourage him.
I'm not sure if my feelings are right.
After hesitating for a while, I asked, "Do you really like stars?"
"like."
"It may take many years to move a star." So don't give up.
A smile appeared in Tan Cheng's eyes.
"Auntie, we're already married, and we'll be together for many years."
Yu Ni was both amused and exasperated.
She felt that Tan Cheng had missed the point.
What do you mean by "not complicated"? It's clearly just stupid.
-
On the way back, Cen Wenxing flipped through Tan Cheng's notes.
The records are very detailed.
Besides the sauerkraut fish he praised at noon today, there were other dishes as well.
Nine times out of ten, it's one of Auntie's signature dishes.
The last page also included the aunt's phone number.
Tan Cheng said enthusiastically, "We can try them all when we get back."
Cen Wenxing closed his notebook.
There are many things in life that are difficult to be perfect.
But at least they can make up for some of the regrets.
"Tan Cheng, would you like to have a wedding?"
Tan Cheng shuddered.
The car sped quite a distance before finally coming to a stop.
Cen Wenxing, sitting in the passenger seat, remained expressionless, waiting for his reply.
"I think."
“A wealthy European businessman has asked me to play music at his son’s wedding. Let’s go check it out together,” Cen Wenxing said with a smile to Tan Cheng. “Want to gain some wedding experience?”
A smile spread across Tan Cheng's face like ripples.
"good."
