Chapter 266 Extra: Tan Cheng x Cen Wenxing (18)
There's an old alleyway behind the bar.
Decades ago, this was the most prosperous part of the city.
Decades later, this place has long been forgotten by the times.
Cen Wenxing climbed the steps.
“From this place, you could see a big banyan tree. Under the banyan tree was a hair salon. There was a very pretty woman cutting hair there. She had many customers of all ages. She liked me a lot and said that when I grew up, she would let me do it for free.”
Tan Cheng followed Cen Wenxing's gaze.
I didn't see a large banyan tree, nor a hair salon.
There were children heading home after school, an elderly woman going out to buy groceries, and an old man taking a stroll with a fan in his hand...
"And then what?"
"He's been arrested."
"..."
"After she was arrested, she told me that her feelings for me were fake, that she was jealous of my mother, and that she had said a lot of bad things about my mother behind her back."
Cen Wenxing stood in front of an old house and unlocked the door with a key.
If it weren't for the few large pieces of furniture, one would almost suspect this was a junkyard.
“My mother has more men around her, and they are of higher quality. She wants to corrupt me.”
Tan Cheng's face darkened with anger. "She's so mean."
Cen Wenxing chuckled, dusted everything off the table by the window, leaned against it, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and smoked it for a couple of puffs before speaking.
“I already knew what she was saying, so I reported her, and she was arrested.”
Cen Wenxing looked at Tan Cheng.
The cigarette smoke blurred his face.
"This house was bought for my mother by the man she dated the longest, about a month ago. The soundproofing is bad, and I can always hear them having sex. When I was little, I didn't understand, and I smashed a glass bottle over someone's head. The man then said he was going to send me to a juvenile detention center."
"Then what?"
"Then I felt that this guy was no good, he treated me badly, and he even made me break up with my mom, so I hooked up with a more handsome guy for my mom. On the street, I pretended to be lost and dragged him home."
Cen Wenxing held the cigarette between his fingers, watching Tan Cheng's reaction.
His expression remained calm.
After waiting a moment, he said, "Very impressive."
Cen Wenxing smiled and beckoned to him with his finger.
Tan Cheng was taken aback.
Cen Wenxing beckoned again before he approached.
They are very close.
Tan Cheng hadn't been this close to Cen Wenxing in a long time.
He could smell a faint fragrance on him.
It's not perfume.
Like shower gel or laundry detergent.
It was noisy outside; you could hear people shouting from the building across the street, and you could see people coming and going on the corridors and stairwells.
But their place is very quiet, as if it were set up on its own.
There is only one such place in the whole world.
Silence allows ambiguity to flow.
Cen Wenxing asked, "What do you like about me?"
“You’re amazing. You’ve always been like that. You’re very determined when you want something. You wanted to transfer to a four-year university, and you did. You wanted Professor Kong to be your mentor, and you did. You said you wanted to be number one in the school competition, and you were number one.”
Cen Wenxing was slightly surprised, "You remember?"
"I remember."
At the time, I thought it was just passing through my ears, but it actually went into my heart.
"What about what I just said? Aren't you scared? Tan Cheng, I won't change. That's just how I am."
"You don't need to change it."
Cen Wenxing's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she leaned a little closer to him.
"Tan Cheng, didn't it hurt when you realized you'd been tricked by me? You still dare to do it?"
"Being separated from you hurts even more."
Cen Wenxing looked into his eyes.
There was a subtle emotion swirling in Tan Cheng's eyes, but it was noticeable at this distance.
"You're not very likable."
What can I do to please you?
Cen Wenxing looked at him for a moment, his voice a little hoarse.
"You're so good at talking, who taught you that?"
"Nobody taught me."
"What about during this time? Have you finally figured it out?"
Tan Cheng paused for a moment, then said, "I went to ask Zhou Chong."
"Would he even bother with you?"
"Just keep pestering Shan Qingshan."
Cen Wenxing laughed and said, "They should have one thrown Mount Everest and the other thrown into the Mariana Trench."
As soon as the words were spoken, the room fell silent again, making the noise outside seem even more intense, as if many people were watching them.
A clear blue sky.
They were almost touching skin to skin.
"Mr. Tan, your heartbeat is so loud."
Tan Cheng's Adam's apple bobbed, and he obediently covered it, his voice low and hoarse, as if he were on fire.
How about this?
Cen Wenxing didn't say anything, but raised the cigarette in his hand.
Want to smoke?
Tan Cheng looked into Cen Wenxing's eyes, parted his lips slightly, and put a cigarette in his mouth.
Anyone could see the intense desire in his eyes.
He didn't want to touch the cigarette, he wanted to touch his lips.
She's become good at seducing people.
I don't know who taught me this.
Tan Cheng took a puff and choked.
Cen Wenxing asked knowingly, "Will you smoke?"
"Not really."
Do you kiss?
A fire ignited in Tan Cheng's eyes as he looked at Cen Wenxing in disbelief.
Cen Wenxing: "Would President Tan dare to kiss me here?"
Cen Wenxing: "I bet you wouldn't dare."
Tan Cheng's breathing became heavy, his gaze fixed on Xingxing's lips, as if bewitched, he uncontrollably moved closer.
"I bet I dare."
Their lips drew closer and closer, their breathing became more and more rapid, and their heartbeats quickened.
Cen Wenxing dodged it a second before it was applied.
"I know you dared to do it."
Tan Chengxin was suspended on Mount Everest, and then the wind at the summit chilled him to the bone.
Cen Wenxing looked at Tan Cheng.
She wasn't angry, but her expression looked a little aggrieved.
"Star……"
Cen Wenxing took out his phone and sent him several compressed files.
"Your skills are terrible, watch a tutorial and learn."
Tan Cheng looked at his phone, slowly came to his senses, and gave a fleeting smile, as if he wanted to laugh but dared not.
He caught up with Cen Wenxing as he left.
"I have a strong learning ability, I can do it tonight."
"Don't be a hooligan."
"I will make you comfortable."
"They called the police."
-
Alice has the character "八" written on her left eye and the character "卦" on her right eye.
"So did he really learn it?"
"I've learned it."
She even sent him a message to apologize, realizing that she hadn't done well in the past.
Ask him about his experience at the time.
Cen Wenxing replied with a "bad," and the other side quieted down.
As Cen Wenxing thought about it, a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
Alice: "Xing, are you finally going to find someone?"
Cen Wenxing looked up from his phone screen and said seriously, "It depends on his performance. After all, I've been quite dissatisfied with him in many ways before."
"And now?"
"A bit clumsy."
"No advantages?"
Cen Wenxing thought for a moment, then unconsciously pursed his lips again.
"No."
Anyone else would have run away long ago, but he's acting like an idiot, still coming closer to him.
Alice handed out a business card.
"I think so. He managed to book an appointment with that hand massage therapist who is notoriously difficult to get a reservation with."
Playing the violin requires dexterity in the hands.
The masseur Cen Wenxing had been using was alright, but Alice and he both hoped to extend their professional glory indefinitely, so they put a lot of effort into hand care.
"I don't know how I found him. I heard he was with a Brazilian tycoon last time. He said he had everything sorted out and asked me to take you there."
Cen Wenxing held the business card in his hand and twirled it around.
"Is it really done?"
"Yes, I've confirmed it."
"Did you ask how you solved it?"
"Mr. Tan said he could help him with investment and financial management, for free."
It's a good match for my major.
Alice was itching to speak, "Can I...?"
"cannot."
"What gives you the right to make decisions for him?"
Cen Wenxing put down his business card.
"Then go and try it. I'll tell you if he'll agree after I say no."
"..."
