Chapter 258 Extra: Tan Cheng x Cen Wenxing (10)
Tan Cheng felt pain even when he was breathing.
"I'll do it next time..."
Cen Wenxing walked to the door and heard his hoarse voice.
"I will never admit my mistakes again in the future."
Cen Wenxing turned around and looked at him with eyes that were both pitying and gentle.
There will be no future.
The door opened, then closed again.
Tan Cheng stared straight at the closed door, just like he and Cen Wenxing.
He closed the door.
Tell him
—This road is blocked.
Tan Cheng lowered his eyes, their every detail etched in his heart.
He admitted that he was terrible, awful.
But what about Cen Wenxing?
Use him, deceive him.
Once he achieved his goal, he left gracefully, and everyone told him, "Serves you right, who told you to use him as a substitute?"
Why?
Why does everyone think he deserves to suffer the consequences just because he met them later? Wasn't this consequence deliberately handed to him by Cen Wenxing?
Tan Cheng abruptly swung away the landline phone on the bedside table.
Amidst the deafening noise, he began to hate Cen Wenxing.
I hate his appearance, I hate his deception, I hate how justified he was, I hate him...
She resented that he wouldn't be soft-hearted towards her.

On the day Cen Wenxing became the orchestra's principal, there was a grand performance.
Before the performance began, assistant Alice went backstage and left a bouquet of flowers.
"It was delivered by the same gentleman, still in the last row, and still without a card."
Cen Wenxing looked at himself in the mirror without any expression.
Alice, used to it, placed the flowers to the side.
As Cen Wenxing has become more famous in recent years, he has gained more and more admirers, but no matter how precious the gifts are or how many people send him things, he remains unmoved.
It seems natural for me to like him.
There's nothing surprising about liking him.
Except for this gentleman.
Cen Wenxing only asked him that question.
But this gentleman never showed up.
Before going on stage, Cen Wenxing hesitated for a moment, then turned around and picked out a champagne-colored rose from the bouquet and put it in her breast pocket.
"Oh, Xing, what are you doing?"
"fishing."
The moment Cen Wenxing stepped onto the stage, Tan Cheng saw the rose on his chest.
He was stunned for a moment; the lights in the concert hall seemed too bright, to the point that he felt an urge to cry.
He stared intently at Cen Wenxing, watching him scan the concert hall, pausing briefly in his direction before looking away.
Tan Cheng stopped breathing, and his heart was beating very fast in his chest.
Over the past few years, he has attended every single one of Cen Wenxing's performances.
He would bring a bouquet of flowers, sit in the last row, in a dark corner, like a strange man who couldn't bear the light, spying on his lover who had already left him.
Tan Cheng guessed that Cen Wenxing knew it was him.
After the concert ended, Cen Wenxing lingered a little longer, but the person still didn't show up.
Alice stepped forward. "Xing, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Cen Wenxing handed the violin to his assistant. "I just wanted to confirm a guess."
Alice nodded. "The investors are waiting."
"good."
After these performances, Cen Wenxing plans to return to China, increase his popularity there, and then embark on another tour.
Tonight I'm meeting with the production team and investors of a variety show that I'm going back to China to participate in; they're all Chinese.
Cen Wenxing was prepared to get drunk, but to his surprise, the investor's boss immediately suggested drinks. When ordering food, there were several dishes he liked, and even dessert was considered.
It's the same dish I had at that coffee shop a few years ago.
Cen Wenxing privately messaged Alice, asking her to find out who the big boss of the investors was.
It is Shanqing Mountain.
"Is it someone you know?"
"Yeah, you could say that."
"So that's why they treated you so well at today's dinner. You have a friend looking after you. You've had a lot of success these past few years. Do you have a benefactor behind you?"
Cen Wenxing didn't say anything.
He has indeed had a very smooth life these past few years.
"Besides Shan Qingshan, is there no one else?"
Who would you like to have?
"It's not hope, it's no hope."
There's no need to linger on a relationship that's already broken.
Cen Wenxing put on his coat and left the restaurant.
Tan Cheng stood on the second floor watching Cen Wenxing's back. His eyes stung, but he kept staring at her until she was out of sight. Only then did he slowly look away and pinch his brow.
He braced his hands on the table, feeling short of breath, like a fish stranded on a beach, its gills flaring as it tried to survive but had no water.

At a gathering after returning to China, Cen Wenxing saw Shan Qingshan.
There was only him, no one else.
The show's director brought him to Shan Qingshan, intending to introduce him, but Shan Qingshan's simple statement, "We know each other," shut the director up.
Shan Qingshan was a man of few words and had a cold expression, which easily reminded Cen Wenxing of Tan Cheng.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Cen Wenxing and Shan Qingshan parted ways.
Alice walked up to him and lowered her voice, "I'm sorry I'm late. I ran into someone on the way and spilled my drink all over them."
"Then what?"
This cannot be used as a reason for being late.
Alice: "He's so handsome, I think I've found love."
Cen Wenxing chuckled and pointed at Shan Qingshan, "What do you think of this?"
Alice gasped, "Oh my god! Why did you have to let me see this man? What am I supposed to do now?!"
He is gay.
"..."
"You have no hope, but I might still have one."
"..."
Cen Wenxing downed the drink in his glass in one gulp. "Maybe the guy who bumped into you was gay too."
Alice repeatedly said "impossible" and expressed doubt about Cen Wenxing's earlier statement that Shan Qingshan was gay.
After the party ended, Alice saw Zhou Chong pick up Shan Qingshan, and the two of them were holding hands as they got into their car. Alice clutched her chest, unable to calm down for a long, long time.
"He really is gay."
Cen Wenxing laughed twice, showing no mercy.
Alice found it hard to accept and asked Cen Wenxing to accompany her to a bar to hunt for women.
Not only did she fail to hunt, she was also tricked by a bar scammer into buying an expensive bottle of wine.
On the contrary, Cen Wenxing had several men and women approaching him.
There was a man named Cen Wenxing who seemed alright, and the thought crossed their minds to have a drink with him and get to know him better. The two had barely taken a few steps when the man next to them was splashed with wine all over himself.
"Feel sorry."
A cold, insincere apology.
A familiar voice that makes your heart flutter.
It was him.
