The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 363 When the Wild Dogs Howl

Xi Cheng hasn't had a good time lately. Last time, after the debt collectors took all his money, he originally wanted to ask Gu Li for "financial support".

After all, I knew her "secret" and promised to help her drive away her best friend's boyfriend, so it wouldn't be too much to ask for some more money, right?

Blackmail and the like...Gu Li would feel uneasy if I didn't ask him for money!

But he didn't expect that after he waited outside Gu Li's house for a while that day, Gu Yuan and others would actually show up.

Then the plan that I had originally made with Gu Li was disrupted, so I had to cooperate with Gu Li in advance.

But what Xi Cheng and everyone else didn't expect was that Tang Wanru also came.

What was originally intended to be a scare ended up being out of control. Afterwards, he was worried that he would end up in jail again.

He was so scared that he hid for several days and didn't dare to show up, for fear that he would be thrown into police station if he showed up.

It was not until recently that Xi Cheng dared to come out and try to attract attention. However, what he did not expect was that although no police came to find him, another wave of people came to find him.

If he hadn't run quickly when he saw the situation was not right, he might have died there.

Afterwards, Xi Cheng quietly went to the familiar billiard hall. When the owner of the billiard hall saw him, he pulled him aside and asked him who he had offended recently. Several people ran to the billiard hall to look for him.

Xi Cheng actually knew that the owner of the billiard hall looked down on him. After all, how many people would look down on an unemployed vagrant like him?
Even if he becomes rich from time to time, the other party will not think that the money is really earned by his own ability...if cheating and deceiving can be considered as ability.

But he had no better place to go. That billiard hall was one of the few places where he could feel relaxed. Although the boss looked down on him, he never showed it to his face. Occasionally, if the other party had something urgent, he would hand the place over to him.

At least, this is a kind of trust.

Xi Cheng didn't know why the boss didn't sell him to make money this time. He didn't ask, he didn't want to ask and he didn't need to ask.

After knowing that the current situation was not good, Xi Cheng was sent out of the billiard hall from the back door by the boss. When he was leaving, the other party handed him a pack of Heiliqun and told him to stay out of the spotlight and not come back.

Xi Cheng knew that the other party didn't want to get into trouble because of him, but he was also grateful to the other party.

Men don't need those corny words of thanks. He just left a message at the end: "Don't cancel your membership. I'll give you a big bonus next time."

After leaving, Xi Cheng calmed down and thought carefully for a long time. It's not like he has never offended people in his life. He has been hunted by people before, and he has been blocked everywhere when he owed debts. However, he has not experienced a situation like this for a long time.

At most, he was cornered by a group of loan sharks and asked for money not long ago, but that was because the other party suddenly wanted to collect the debt in advance and caught him off guard.

But now he doesn't owe anyone money, as for other grudges...

Xi Cheng thought about it and finally got only one answer - Gu Yuan!
The only person who has a grudge against him and has the ability to hunt him down recently is the old classmate he cheated on.

Two years ago, he climbed into Gu Li's bed, and the incident was exposed at Gu Li's birthday party. He thought he would be retaliated by Gu Yuan at that time, but there was no follow-up.

It was at that time that he changed his opinion of Gu Yuan. This old classmate was a rich boy, but a cuckold.

Sometimes Xi Cheng would have a feeling that he didn't know whether it was absurd or sudden enlightenment. The two old classmates who had studied together, Gu Yuan and Jian Xi, were actually completely opposite to the impression they left when they were in school.

The former is usually very arrogant and always looks cool. Even though he is already rich, he still looks as if everyone owes him money. But now it seems that he is a cuckold who is completely controlled by a woman.

The latter was very polite when he was in school, and he always had a gentle expression on his face when he looked at everyone. He was the warm moonlight in the girls' hearts. But now it seems that he is a scumbag and a beast. He pretends to be a decent person in daily life, but who knows what he might do in private. He is a pure hypocrite.

Do rich and successful people have to have two faces these days?
Xi Cheng, who has always believed that it is better to be a real villain than a hypocrite, is a little confused.

But the current situation does not allow him to continue to be confused, he must first get out of his current predicament.

Leave the Magic City and hide immediately?
This thought just flashed through his mind. It is not like decades ago when one could just move to another city in the north or south and his luck would turn around.

He has no academic qualifications and no skills... and no serious skills. Just think about it and you will know that this is impossible.

Besides, his life creed is that he would never work, even if he starved to death!
Go find Gu Li to resolve this matter?
Xi Cheng had been there, but he almost ran into those people looking for him before he even reached Sinan Mansion. He wanted to call Gu Li, but found that the call was not going through at all, even if he changed the number.

Similarly, he couldn't get through to Nan Xiang when he called her again. Only then did he realize that they had already changed their numbers during the days when his phone was turned off.

A feeling of being abandoned by the whole world emerged in Xi Cheng's heart. Inexplicably, he remembered the words that Gu Yuan cursed at him when they fought that day.

It turns out that I am really just a stray dog.

If he hadn't received a call from the orange-headed guy with whom he used to play billiards, he might have really left Shanghai and moved to another city.

It was also at that time that Xi Cheng, who had almost no way out, found a new way.

But before he set off, he still had some things to deal with...

Although Nan Xiang changed his phone number, it didn't mean that he couldn't contact the other party. After all, he had given the other party so many gifts.

"I am Xi Cheng."

When Xi Cheng logged into the account of [Yi Xi Qing Cheng] and sent this private message to Nan Xiang, he felt a sense of satisfaction from the bottom of his heart as if he had finally gotten a slap in the face after being frustrated for a long time.

Although his current situation is no longer one of those where things change over time, don't bully the young because they are poor, but when he logs into this account, he can still find that sense of superiority over Nan Xiang.

Most of the money he made through fraud, including the money extorted from Gu Li, the money he earned from selling Gu Li to Yuan Yi, and the money he borrowed from loan sharks, was given to Nan Xiang. How could he not be happy now that his cover was revealed?
If I don't cheat you out of some money or lend you some money, do you really think I'm a poor guy? !

Just when Xi Cheng was thinking about how shocked Nan Xiang was when she saw this message on the other end of the phone, the other party quickly replied to him.

"Is this the origin of Brother Yi Xi Qing Cheng's name? Brother, what a nice name!"

"..."

The tone was very sweet. Xi Cheng was surprised to find that Nan Xiang used this tone when he first sent a private message to her. After all, this was very inconsistent with the Nan Xiang he knew.

But considering that female internet celebrities do need to provide emotional value to their sponsors in order to make money, he gradually accepted it. At least Nan Xiang would not reveal her true face to those sponsors who spent more money than him. Online is online, and offline is offline. In this way, he is the only one who knows Nan Xiang.

Moreover, Nan Xiang was like this, which made him feel surprised and fresh at the same time.

It’s like using a second account to tease a friend. Even though you know the other person’s real face, you can still see their other side because it’s online.

How could he not find this contrast interesting?

It's a pity that it's a bit late to reveal the vest. I should have said it last time...

But it doesn't matter. Anyway, he, Xi Cheng, is the one who had posted a lot of posts in the early days of Nan Xiang's live broadcast, and later on, he posted a lot of posts intermittently. If he tells it now, it will definitely shock Nan Xiang and make Nan Xiang look at him with new eyes!

However, when he heard that sweet tone as always this time, Xi Cheng was a little confused.

"I said I am Xi Cheng, Xi Cheng!"

"I know, Xi Cheng, Yi Xi Qing Cheng, brother, your name is really nice."

"..."

At this moment, I felt like I was just a stray dog ​​on the roadside, but was kicked into a ditch after barking twice.

I thought I could hold it in for a big while, but in the end I just had a big poop.

After several inquiries, Xi Cheng could only desperately admit that either the person texting him on the other end of the phone was not the real Nan Xiang, or Nan Xiang had lost her memory. Could it be that Nan Xiang could still suppress her shock and pretend not to know him?
From then on, the way to contact Nan Xiang online completely came to an end.

As for offline... Xi Cheng had been to Hongye Media before, but with access control, he either couldn't wait for Nan Xiang to come out, or he saw a group of people who seemed to be looking for him, so he had to leave in a hurry.

Seeing that the time for his appointment with Orange Head was approaching, Xi Cheng could only come to his hometown in Nanxiang to try his luck.

Before leaving, there are always some things that need to be said. He doesn't want to just put a period, a comma, or even a semicolon on the conversation with the other party.

As the saying goes, God will not disappoint those who work hard, and love will never be wasted. After several days of waiting, he finally met Nan Xiang, whom he had not seen for a long time, on this rainy night.

Outside the alley in front of her house, Nan Xiang saw this disgusting man again. After the initial shock, she was filled with anger.

"Why did you ignore the message I sent? I spent so much money on you!" As soon as Xi Cheng opened his mouth in the heavy rain, his mouth was filled with rain water.

But he couldn't care about these at the moment, and just stared at Nan Xiang in front of him.

Nan Xiang frowned and said coldly, "I don't know what you are talking about. You cut Wanru's mouth and disappeared. You ruined Tang Wanru and also... Gu Li. How dare you appear in front of me now?!"

"What happened to Tang Wanru... was an accident. I didn't mean to hurt her." The heavy rain covered Xi Cheng's entire body. The expression on his face was blurred by the rain, making it impossible to tell whether he was roaring or expressing his guilt loudly at the moment.

But then he added: "Why don't I dare to appear in front of you? Everything I do is for you. I've given you a lot of money. I'm the most beautiful person in the world!"

Xi Cheng's voice drowned out the falling rain and reached Nan Xiang's ears clearly, making her look stunned even though she was about to curse.

After carefully identifying for a long time, Nan's mother, who was standing next to her daughter, finally recognized who the man was who was screaming in the rain like a fool.

"Get lost! Who told you to keep pestering Nan Xiang? Stay away from Nan Xiang!"

After recognizing that the person in front of her was Xi Cheng, who had left her daughter covered in bruises, Nan's mother flew into a rage and waved a bag of pork ribs in her hand to drive the man away.

Xi Cheng frowned. He didn't want to further deepen Nan Xiang's "misunderstanding" of him when he said goodbye to her for the last time. After all, in the unknown future, Nan Xiang was the only person he cared about.

So when faced with Nan's mother's driving him away, he quickly took two steps back to avoid her. At the time, he was young and ignorant, and Nan's mother, who should have been a shortcut to reconciliation, has now become his biggest obstacle.

Fortunately, Nan Xiang reacted quickly and quickly pulled her excited mother back. It was easy to fall on the stone pavement in the heavy rain. "Mom, don't get excited. Watch your step!"

After holding her emotional mother, Nan Xiang looked up at Xi Cheng and asked doubtfully: "Are you Xi Qingcheng? Impossible!"

Yes, that’s the reaction!
Although the current situation was inappropriate and the other party's reaction was not as big as expected, he still saw it after all.

Seeing it with your own eyes is ten thousand times more comfortable than posting a message on the Internet!
But after Xi Cheng suppressed his feeling of comfort, he still felt a little unhappy and said, "Why can't I be one? Don't you read the private message I sent you?"

"Private message?" Nan Xiang recalled, frowned and shook her head, "People in the company are responsible for managing private messages. I will check them occasionally."

After a pause, she continued, "Besides, I haven't used the account Yi Xi Qing Cheng for quite a while, and I haven't read it for a long time either."

Nan Xiang could remember this account purely because the amount of money spent by the other party was indeed outstanding when he first started live streaming. However, as his account grew bigger and bigger, the other party rarely appeared, and the amount of money spent was naturally not that outstanding.

Including the other party's private messages, she had read them in the past, but so what? If she doesn't consume them now, she will be like a bystander.

I'm sorry, female internet celebrities are so emotionless. My boss trains me and I train the bootlickers.

Hearing these words, Xi Cheng's guess was immediately confirmed, and he felt like he was about to spit out blood. It was a pity that he had such a sweet chat with that "Nan Xiang" in the past.

Nan Xiang guessed something after seeing the other person's expression, but she didn't care. After being surprised, her tone returned to being cold: "How do you have so much money?"

"Do you think I can't make money?" Xi Cheng, who had been in the rain for half a day, felt the cold seeping into his bones, and his teeth began to tremble. "At the beginning, you said you needed money, and I said I could help you, and I can help you."

Nan Xiang was silent for a moment, but soon thought of something.

"Gu Li gave it to you?"

"..."

Xi Cheng was also speechless for a moment. Some things are better known in one's heart than spoken out loud. Besides, this matter is not the most important.

Looking at the other person's cold eyes, Xi Cheng's teeth chattered more and more violently, and finally he said what he had been holding in his heart.

"Nan Xiang, I'm sorry about what happened before. This time I'm..."

"roll!"

At this time, Nan's mother, who had been listening for a long time, became agitated again and waved the hand holding the plastic bag again: "Isn't it enough that you have harmed my daughter before? You pig! F**k! Get out!"

Seeing her mother like this again, Nan Xiang reached out to hold her again, regardless of the fact that half of her body was wet.

"Mom, don't get excited, wait a minute, be careful..."

"Did he give you the money?!" However, at this moment, Nan's mother, who had scolded Xi Cheng so much that he took two steps back, turned her eyes and looked at her daughter, "Are you so forgetful?! You want to take money from this bastard?!"

Because of her excited behavior just now, Nan's mother was also soaked by the rain. Her wet hair was stuck to her face in all directions, making her look a little hideous under the light of the street lamp.

It was just getting dark at this time, and although it was raining heavily, some passers-by were still attracted by the bustle here.

"Mom, it's not like that..."

"Did I ever tell you to stay away from him?! Did I ever tell you not to date him?!"

"Mom, I didn't..."

"What about the money? Are you going to have me go to the hospital to see you late at night in the future?!"

Nan's mother was already puzzled by the fact that her daughter suddenly became rich. She was hiding the fact and refused to say anything. Her daughter denied that the money was earned by drinking with guests. She was skeptical about this, but what she just heard made her feel as if the sky was falling.

She also threw away the ribs she bought, and then knocked the dish out of Nan Xiang's hand.

"I won't eat the food bought with his money. If I eat it, I will have to pay for your medical expenses later!"

Nan Xiang was almost shocked to see that things had turned out like this. She couldn't help crying and explaining, "Mom, it's not like that. I didn't take his money. I..."

"Auntie, you misunderstood." Xi Cheng who was standing next to him was also dumbfounded. He wanted to find Nan Xiang to restore some impression, but things turned out to be further and further away from what he expected.

Just like every time he found Nan Xiang and wanted to win her back, he deviated from his original intention after just a few words.

"The money I gave to Nan Xiang was my atonement for the past. I really loved Nan Xiang. What happened in the past..."

"Xi Cheng, can you please get out of here!"

Nan Xiang, who was about to explain her work, heard Xi Cheng's explanation getting worse and worse, and immediately said angrily: "Every time you show up, you only bring me trouble. Can you please stop bothering me?"

Nan's mother was also so angry at Xi Cheng's words that her eyes went dark. She cursed: "You wishful thinking, you bastard! Touch our daughter again and I'll let you get your eyes peeled! You bastard! You are a lowly bastard! What kind of trash are you? You're going to die soon!"

"..."

Nan's mother almost fell down because of the loud cursing and the movement of her body. Even so, she slipped a little. If it weren't for Nan Xiang's great strength, she would have been caught in time.

At this moment, Nan Xiang didn't care whether it was tears or rain on her face. She pulled Nan's mother and said, "Mom, stop scolding me. I'll explain to you later."

Then she looked at Xi Cheng and said angrily, "You ruined my relationship with Gu Li and the others, and now you want to ruin my relationship with my mother? Can you please stay as far away from me as possible?"

After a pause, she said harshly, "If you want to get the money back, can I pay it back to you myself?!"

Although after all the divisions, the money left to her was not that much, but as long as she could get rid of this plague god, she would rather pay more.

Xi Cheng felt extremely upset at the moment. Although he had guessed that things would not go so smoothly with Nan's mother around, he did not expect that things would go so badly.

Seeing Nan Xiang staring at him with eyes full of hatred, Xi Cheng, who was shivering with cold, felt his heart turn cold as well.

"Nan Xiang, I'm not here to ask you for money, I..."

More and more people gathered around to watch the excitement, even some neighbors near Nan Xiang's house. Xi Cheng continued to say, trembling all over, "I'm leaving. I came here to say goodbye to you today..."

"Nanxiang...I'm sorry...I love you."

……

In an Audi car in the distance, Jian Xi lit a cigarette and looked at the scene in front of him boredly. To be honest, this was far from what he had expected.

"Dingling bell~"

At this time, the phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Xiao Lu Cha who had returned.

"Hey, Senior, when will you be back tonight?"

"Well... let's go later. We're watching a play right now."

"Watching a movie? Who did you go to the movies with?" The tone of the little green tea on the phone was a little bad, "I haven't settled the score with you for taking Lin Xiao to Nan Xiang a few days ago!"

"Ah? I don't know what you mean?" The dog man automatically ignored the words of the little green tea and laughed, "The dramas I watch now are much better than ordinary movies."

"What drama?"

"In the pouring rain, the prodigal son turned back and found his first love, but was scolded by his first love and her mother."

"..." The phone was silent for a while, and then Xiao Lucha said with disdain, "Eh~ Such a melodramatic plot, senior, your taste needs to be improved."

"Really? Then I'll need Director Lin's help from now on!"

"Humph! As long as you study hard, Teacher Lin will teach you seriously." Little Green Tea snorted rather arrogantly, and then asked curiously, "So where is the show now?"

"Where is the show going..." Jian Xi looked at Xi Cheng who was leaving in the heavy rain in the distance, and Nan Xiang who was picking up vegetables and meat from the ground and following Nan's mother home, and smiled, "After Huang Mao said a heartfelt farewell, he left alone like a drowned chicken. The first love went home with her mother, but there is probably still a heart-to-heart scene between the mother and daughter."

"Hmm? This shouldn't be the end yet?" Lin Quan asked in confusion, "Didn't that yellow-haired guy turn over a new leaf? Is he leaving now?"

"It's almost the end. Huangmao is going to do something big in the future. He wants to come back to pursue his first love after he becomes truly successful. Maybe he can even change his first love's mother's impression of him!"

"Uh... this plot is not only melodramatic, but also clichéd." Little Green Tea complained again, and then asked, "What big thing is Huang Mao going to do?"

Jian Xi smiled, flicked off the ash from his cigarette and said, "Have you ever heard of this saying? 'If you have money, you won't go to Beijing, Shanghai or Guangzhou; if you are in trouble, you will go to Fangchenggang.'"

"Yellow-haired man wants to break into Fangchenggang? Can he succeed?" Little Green Tea was even more confused.

"Hen! Grandpa might beat her into a sieve."

"..."

The girl on the other end of the phone was quiet for a while before she said faintly, "Senior, are you really just watching the show? You've already said all the subsequent contents, but why do I feel like you also have a role in this?"

"Haha, don't talk nonsense. I'm a law-abiding citizen. I only half-guessed what's next."

Jian Xi smiled, looking at the scattered onlookers in front of him, and then he smiled again: "However, because I have been around Teacher Lin and Director Lin for these years, I am also itching to show my talents. In addition to being a spectator of this play, I am also the screenwriter and director."

The end is coming soon.
