I became popular after my exes who were scumbags were on the romance show

Xie Ciyuan and Xie Zuobai were arranged in the same dressing room, so Shi Ran entrusted Xie Zuobai to Xie Ciyuan and left first.

"I'll do it myself." Xie Zuobai coughed and said.

"I just promised Shi Ran to help you, so naturally I won't leave you halfway." Xie Ciyuan said lightly.

Xie Zuobai laughed when he heard this: "Even if you leave me behind, she won't know...your sense of morality is always so strong."

Xie Ciyuan paused when he heard the latter sentence: "Do you know me well?"

The smile on Xie Zuobai's face froze, and then he said: "...I've watched a lot of interviews about Best Actor Xie, and I'm half of your fan, so I can guess a little bit."

Xie Ciyuan didn't speak any more.

Although Xie Zuobai was calm on the surface, he was inexplicably nervous in his heart.

Even though he has the memory of his first life, his mental age is much older than Xie Ciyuan's now.

But Xie Ciyuan in his heart, after all, has the majesty of an elder brother.

If Xie Ciyuan didn't speak, he would unconsciously feel uneasy, wondering if Xie Ciyuan had guessed something.

Xie Zuobai resisted the urge to look back at Xie Ciyuan, and only dared to quietly observe Xie Ciyuan's expression through the mirror when he went to the dressing room.

It was still deserted, and I couldn't guess what emotion it was.

Xie Zuobai's breathing was slightly stagnant.

"You put on your makeup, and call me when you're done." Xie Ciyuan noticed Xie Zuobai's gaze, but remained calm, pretending that he didn't see it.

After going to his place, he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Father Xie:

"Do you have an illegitimate child?"

That Xie Zuobai gave him a really subtle feeling.

He trusted his instincts.

Father Xie replied quickly: "...What? Your father has an illegitimate child? Yuan Bao, hurry up, tell me everything you know, and I'll divorce him right away!"

Xie Ciyuan: "..."

Unexpectedly, it was Mother Xie holding the phone.

He ignored the word "Yuanbao" and replied calmly: "I'm joking, don't take it seriously."

There is no more reply.

10 minute later.

Unsurprisingly, Xie Ciyuan received a long string of voice-to-text messages:

"You kid! You kid! Did you deliberately slander me for having an illegitimate child?! Do you want me to break up with your mother?

Do you know how long I have been explaining to your mother? !Well, now she has another reason to go out and travel the world!

When your mother was pregnant, everyone said she was a sweet and soft girl.

In the end, it’s all right if you suddenly become a boy, after all, boys and girls are the same; I can bear it if I don’t act like a baby and have a cold face every day, and I have to respect every child’s personality.

But now you still slander me for having an illegitimate child and try to destroy my marriage.

The sky is so blue, what is my fate, Xie Ciyuan, you give me back my fragrant and soft daughter who can act like a baby... #￥@! *%"

Xie Ciyuan didn't read the latter words.

Another minute later, his wife Guan Yan Xie Fu sent back another message:

"Yuanbao, Daddy is wrong, don't think too much, I really have no intention of wanting a daughter, I am already satisfied with you..."

Xie Ciyuan: "..."

He put away his phone, feeling that he really thought too much just now.

But Xie Zuobai...

Xie Ciyuan's eyes fell on Xie Zuobai, and after noticing the secret expectation and joy in the other's eyes that seemed to be trying to hide, he slightly raised his eyebrows.

That's it.

As long as Xie Zuobai is not malicious, he is willing to believe Xie Zuobai's words and regard Xie Zuobai as his fan.

Xie Zuobai noticed Xie Ciyuan's gaze, and his lowered fingers unconsciously curled up nervously.

"Don't be nervous, it doesn't hurt for me to put on makeup."

The makeup artist's teasing voice sounded, and Xie Zuobai realized that he seemed to be overreacting.

He twitched his lips calmly.

Soon, several people finished their makeup and were ready to start shooting.

Lin Muzhi looked serious: "action!"

……

After entering Beijing, Ling Changting simply parted ways with the young scholar, and found Ling's father's former mortal enemies one by one.

However, she has been investigating in the capital for a long time, but she has never found out who the murderer is.

Until, she learned a piece of news that could shock the entire Nanxia Kingdom——

The infant prince of the enemy country who died in the war more than 20 years ago is not dead at all.

Instead, he kept his name incognito for more than 20 years, and grew up as a Nanxia native in Nanxia Kingdom.

And Lingfu personally assassinated the monarch of the enemy country in the great war many years ago.

Ling Changting suspected that Ling's father was killed by the prince of the enemy country who had grown up.

She searched a lot of people, and finally found someone who she never thought of.

"Miss, you are finally back. During the time you left, I prayed for your safety and success every day..."

As soon as Ling Changting returned to No. [-] Villa in the World, Yingyue clung to him.

"Master... Where's Fu Zheng?" Ling Changting asked with a cold face.

Yingyue looked a little unhappy when she heard that Ling Changting asked about Fu Zheng as soon as she came back.

Just when he was about to answer reluctantly, he saw the little scholar following Ling Changting and was shocked: "Miss, who is he?"

Ling Changting turned his head and looked at the little scholar, feeling a little headache.

This good-for-nothing actually wanted to commit suicide after failing the exam.

It's fine if he didn't die by suicide, but he was recognized by someone who knew her, and he just handed over this trouble to her.

Since she wanted to hide her identity to investigate the case, it would cause trouble, so she had no choice but to bring this useless scholar with her.

"An insignificant person."

After finishing speaking, Ling Changting asked Fu Zheng's location again.

After getting the answer, he went to find Fu Zheng.

Fu Zheng was under the bamboo forest where he and Ling Changting used to practice martial arts together day and night.

Seeing Ling Changting's expression, he knew that Changting knew everything.

"Changting." Fu Zheng could still laugh.

"I just want to ask one thing, did you kill it?" Ling Changting asked directly.

Fu Zheng was silent for a long time: "Don't you already have the answer?"

Ling Changting just looked at Fu Zheng like this.

Eighteen years of her life, every spring, summer, autumn and winter, she has Fu Zheng by her side.

No matter what she could have imagined, the person who once taught her how to learn the sword will now be the person she draws the sword against...

Ling Changting's sword was out of its sheath: "Self-love between children should not override the hatred of killing the father, the hatred of the country, and the family. You taught me martial arts, so today I will let you do three tricks."

The enemy's secret guards who were hiding in the dark to protect Fu Zheng appeared behind Fu Zheng one after another.

Fu Zheng waved his hand to make these people back down.

Then he stood up from the wheelchair and picked up his sword.

Ling Changting did not hesitate to attack Fu Zheng, and had already judged Fu Zheng's next sword move in his heart.

however--

Fu Zheng didn't hide.

Her first sword pierced Fu Zheng's chest.

Ling Changting was stunned.

Fu Zheng held Ling Changting's sword and stabbed deeper, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

He has grown up as a Nanxia native for more than twenty years, and now he suddenly realizes that he is actually the prince of the enemy country that he hates, and wants to die more than anyone else.

As for the owner of the villa... it was the hidden guards of the enemy country who did it without telling him, and he didn't know it beforehand.

But so what, his identity is destined to bear all this.

……

Fu Zheng fell silent after that sword strike.

It is said that those hidden guards took Fu Zheng's body away, and the enemy country has a secret medicine that can revive him.

Ling Changting stood under the bamboo forest, thinking about all this quietly.

Now the No. [-] Villa in the World has returned to its former calm, and it seems that everyone has forgotten the existence of Fu Zheng.

Only Yingyue and the little scholar fought to the death, bringing some vitality to the lifeless villa.

Green tea knows green tea best in this world, today Yingyue will give Ling Changting sweets made by herself, and tomorrow the little scholar will give Ling Changting specially learned tea to relieve sweetness.

Ling Changting propped up the No. [-] villa in the world by himself, and the relationship with the little scholar also changed unknowingly.

On this day, Ling Changting's arm was injured. After the little scholar learned about it, he took the initiative to bandage the wound for her:

"Why are you injured again?"

Ling Changting replied with a straight face: "The other party was hurt more than me!"

The little scholar stopped his movements and looked at Ling Changting without saying a word.

Ling Changting looked back coldly: "Say something quickly."

"I feel sorry for Missy." The little scholar sighed again, "Can't Missy fight less for me?"

Ling Changting paused when he heard the words, and without speaking, he picked up the sword and left without looking back.

The servant who came to deliver the medicine happened to bump into Ling Changting who came out of the room. Thinking of Ling Changting's face, he said in shock, "What did you just say?! Missy is so angry with you!"

The little scholar took the medicine and was a little puzzled: "Angry?"

"Miss left in such a hurry, her ears and neck were red, didn't she just get mad at you?!" The servant felt that he understood too well.

The little scholar nodded calmly, but there was an unstoppable smile in his eyes: "Well, it must be anger."
