Zheng He shouted, threw down the flowers in his hand, and hurriedly ran to the bedside, continuing to loudly accuse: "How could you be so cruel! Leaving me alone to face the gale! You havenât even told me how to end this! Facing the capital alone, how could I possibly fight! Without you, Iâve lost most of my confidence... wuuu wuuu wuuu..."
The main reason he was confident originally was still because he had Chen Xixi backing him up, which is why he felt so strong. Also, he didnât want to show weakness in front of Chen Xixi, so he held his breath and boldly told Chen Xixi he could take down Dingxin Media.
Now that his main support is gone, the breath he was holding has left him...
Zheng He looked in pain at the person covered by the white quilt.
A tall and skinny man, almost kneeling down, started to choke up: "Xixi, without you, how am I supposed to live!"
Itâs not an exaggeration, Xu Nianying would really play him to death!
If Chen Xixi were here, he could still make a fight of it; without Chen Xixi, he might as well surrender early and ask for leniency!
Chen Xixi inside the quilt did not make a sound; she decided to pretend to be dead and listen to what else Zheng He might say.
Zheng He continued with a sorrowful voice mixed with sobs: "You dragged me onto this pirate ship, and now you leave me behind, setting me adrift. Have you ever thought about how terrified I am alone on this pirate ship? Afraid of capsizing! You heartless woman!"
Then came Zheng Heâs lifeless sobs, as if she really had died.
After a while, Zheng He wiped his tears and suddenly shouted: "This must be my illusion! Youâre such a hateful person, how could you just die like that! They say disasters last for a thousand years; you should stand up and let me hate you for another hundred and eighty years!"
Chen Xixi: "..." No, shouldnât you reflect and think about who between us is really the disaster?!
Then she didnât hear anything else interesting from Zheng He, and she felt it was time to âcome back to lifeâ and stop scaring Zheng He.
But just as she was about to lift the quilt, suddenly, a chorus of wailings followed.
"Ah! My dear sole investor, how could you leave us at this time! You havenât made your investment yet!"
Chen Xixi: "..." Wasnât Director Sunâs last sentence the key point?
A staff member next to Sun Qian sniffled, eyes red as he spoke: "Chen Xixi was truly a good person, if it werenât for Chen Xixiâs timely rescue, we might have already reunited with our ancestor now, itâs a pity such a good person had such a short life!"
"Exactly, exactly, the real misfortunes are all alive and well! God really doesnât see!"
The assistant director who mentioned âmisfortuneâ threw a glance at Zheng He, sincerely feeling itâs unjust for Chen Xixi!
Zheng He: "???" Am I affecting your lives by being alive?
The originally quiet hospital room, at this moment, was filled with constant crying, with Zheng He leading the charge, lining up in formation to send Chen Xixi off on her last journey.
Chen Xixi: "..."
Originally not dead, but now they made it seem like she actually had died.
Beside her, Zhou Jinyuan couldnât stand it anymore, really wanting to go over to Chen Xixiâs bed to confirm, whether the lively jumping Chen Xixi he saw earlier was just a hallucination from his sleepless night.
Zhou Jinyuan suddenly said: "Stop crying, sheâs fine."
Zheng He and the directorial team all stopped crying: "!!!"
Sun Qian looked puzzled at the hospital bed: "Then whatâs this...?"
Chen Xixi lifted the quilt, and a vivid little face immediately appeared in front of everyone.
Zheng He exclaimed in shock: "You! Chen Xixi, youâre not dead?!"
Chen Xixi looked at Zheng He, her lips curling into a sly smile: "I just wanted to hear if you had ever done anything to wrong me."
This was a perfect opportunity to delve into Zheng Heâs conscience, and of course, Chen Xixi was going to make the most of it.
Zheng He took a moment before crying again, "You scared me to death!!"
Chen Xixi clicked her tongue, "Cry, cry, cry. A grown man crying, all your good fortune is cried away!"
"Why did you scare me then?"
"I didnât plan to scare you at first; it was your own timing. If you had come in ten seconds later, you might have seen me alive," Chen Xixi said, suddenly laughing, "I didnât realize you were so worried about me?"
Zheng He was a bit stunned. He wiped his tears, stood up, hands in his pockets, and quickly returned to his usual somewhat conceited demeanor, "Iâm not worried about you. Iâm worried about our grand plan, worried that our âpirate shipâ is going to capsize!"
After saying that, Zheng He suddenly thought of something, quickly turned around to push through the crowd behind him, and picked up the flowers he had thrown at the door earlier.
He carefully dusted off the flowers and walked back to the bed, handing the flowers to Chen Xixi, "For you."
In her lifetime, receiving flowers from Zheng He was really unexpected for Chen Xixi.
But what was even more unexpected for Chen Xixi was... the bouquet was actually picked from the roadside!
You could tell from the type of flowers and the sloppy newspaper wrapping.
There was sincerity, but not much.
Chen Xixi looked at the flowers in her hands and couldnât help asking, "Couldnât you have bought a bouquet?"
Zheng He indignantly replied, "The flowers I buy are only for my girlfriend, donât even think about it!"
Furthermore, Chen Xixi had previously swindled him out of so much money, the thought of spending money on flowers for Chen Xixi was unthinkable!
Not a single penny would he spend on Chen Xixi!
His visiting Chen Xixi at all was already a huge favor!
After a while, Zheng He added, "But these flowers, actually cost me money too."
Chen Xixi raised an eyebrow, "Hmm?"
Zheng He sighed, "Itâs quite unlucky. While picking the flowers from the flowerbed in the plaza, someone spotted me and shouted ârapistâ, and then I got caught and fined a hundred."
After hearing this, Chen Xixiâs head buzzed a bit, she touched her forehead, "...Real punishment indeed, typical of you."
The next second, she couldnât help but burst out laughing.
In fact, there was a part that Zheng He didnât mention, which was when they called him a rapist, others thought he was a harasser, but when they saw he was really just picking flowers, that saved him from a righteous beating.
He couldnât tell that part, for Chen Xixi would definitely laugh at him!
Of course, the part that canât be told wasnât the point; the point was that he wanted to show off his intelligence to Chen Xixi!
Zheng He boasted, "Originally, after paying the fine, they didnât allow me to take the flowers, but I smartly told them the person I wanted to give them to was dying, then they felt sorry for me and let me take the flowers, even gave me the two biggest ones. Itâs just a pity I couldnât get the fine back... See these two biggest ones, they look good, right?"
Chen Xixiâs smile instantly froze.
Her governor and conception vessels suddenly opened!
She placed the flowers on the bed and with a fierce glare, rolled up her sleeves ready to get out of bed, "Who did you say is dying?! Iâll show you right now if I still have it in me! No one stop me today! I am going to beat this unfilial wretch to death!!"
Terrified, Zheng He started to run, and the director team members quickly stepped in to stop Chen Xixi, "Our dear sole investor, please calm down, you just rested well, your health is important, donât stoop to his level, weâll take action for you!"
Zheng He was about to thank the director team, but upon hearing the last part, he felt completely hopeless.
He quickly extended his hand, "Wait! I still deserve one more chance to redeem myself!"
