I didn't mean to fight for favor

The surface was stirred up slightly, but soon became as quiet as stagnant water.

When Cheng Xi went to Xu Gen's house, he took only one person and a dog with him. When he left, he was still dressed in cumin, plus the little chicken leg that never left him.

He shook his head, "No, this is very good, it can clear my mind."

Xu Gen begged him, "Xiao Xi, don't torture yourself like this, what do you want from me before you come home with me?"

"That was your home, never mine."

"Home is with you." Xu Gen said firmly.

"Oh? Have you figured it out?" Cheng Xi smiled.

Xu Gen lowered his noble head, "Xiao Xi, it's my fault, forgive me."

"that's it?"

Xu Gen was stunned, "Otherwise?"

Cheng Xi didn't answer, and after a long time, when Xu Gen was suffering in his heart, he smiled and said: "Otherwise, you can jump down and help me see if there are any water ghosts."

"But I guess water ghosts won't like your smell, so don't be afraid." Cheng Xi said again.

Xu Gen's coat was blown up by the strong wind. He glanced at the bottomless reservoir, turned his head and glanced at Cheng Xi, who was expressionless and hugged the drumstick tightly in his arms.

"It's not that difficult," he said.

--as you wish.

He plunged into the water without looking back, Xu Gen actually doesn't know how to swim, when he was a child, after his mother ran away with a man, his father's official career was not going well, and seeing his face that resembled his mother's made him feel bored, So he was once thrown into the water by his father, and when he was rescued, he only had half his life left.

Xu Gen once thought that he would never be submerged in water again in his life, but this time he was willing.

It was his mistake, and he was willing to make up for it in any way Cheng Xi wanted.

Cheng Xi stood calmly on the bank, his ears heard Xu Gen splashing in the water, he knew Xu Gen was afraid of water, he did it on purpose.

Xu Gen felt that his nasal cavity, lungs, and chest were all filled with icy cold water. He tried his best to float up to take a breath, but his body was as heavy as if a lead weight was hung on it, as if someone was dragging him to the water. As he sank, he couldn't hold back the air. The last bit of air in his lungs turned into bubbles and spit out, and the last bit of space in his lungs was squeezed and deformed by the cold liquid.

Maybe there really are water ghosts in the reservoir, and they specialize in catching heinous people like him.Also, he deserves to go to hell.

Cheng Xi heard that it was almost time before he spoke, "You still don't drag your young master up, do you really want to wait for him to drown in the shallows?"

It was only then that Xu Gen's people dared to come out from the dark to fish Xu Gen out of the water, who was about to faint. Xu Gen had already spoken before, not to let them be discovered by Cheng Xi, and he would tell Cheng Xi about everything by himself. .

What Cheng Xi said was correct. In fact, the water in the place he chose was not deep at all, and it was about the height of a person. However, Cheng Xi's resolute expression was too realistic. Drowning him would not hesitate.

Xu Gen was so excited by his reaction that he lost his ability to judge. In addition, the light at night was very dim, and he couldn't see the depth of the reservoir water clearly whether it was near or far away.

In addition, Xu Gen was terribly afraid of water. When he was just submerged in the water, the horrible nightmares of his childhood kept attacking his brain. His eyes were blurred and his headache was splitting.

When Xu Gen's subordinates jumped into the water to save him, they realized that the place where Xu Gen fell into the water was at most higher than one person, which was about the height of the deep end of the swimming pool.

This is roughly the so-called shoal where there are dragons, and care leads to chaos.

Xu Gen stretched out his hand desperately and asked Cheng Xi, "Come home with me, okay?"

Xu Gen was lying on the ground, wet all over, even a tough guy would shiver in the cold wind, he kept spitting water, he refused to show the slightest fear, he was afraid that Cheng Xi would reject him, he was afraid that Cheng Xi would say no.

Cheng Xi didn't speak, just smiled in the night.

Cheng Xi was very calm now, but he didn't think Xu Gen's mistakes were worth forgiving, at least not so easily.It was very difficult to establish trust between people before. A broken mirror is hard to reconcile, and water is hard to get back. Xu Gen personally broke the relationship that Cheng Xi had worked so hard to build, which really made him wonder how to forgive.

Even if he didn't make it to the last step, he would not forgive.

37. Engagement Dinner

Time always passes faster than imagined. It seems that people are always chasing time and running without stopping for a moment. After returning to Xu's house, the wound left by Cheng Xi's minor operation was quickly removed, and his arm was also very damaged. Almost got rid of the plaster.

When Cheng Xi's eyes regained their light, he smiled sincerely. Only when he loses it will he know how to cherish it. Every part of his body is his precious treasure.

Cheng Rongrong's engagement banquet arrived as scheduled. When Cheng Xi and Xu Gen entered the venue together, the two of them received countless tributes due to their outstanding appearance. Of course, most people were looking at Xu Gen, and some of them were by the way Looking at Cheng Xi, there is still a small group of people who cast such unfriendly eyes on Cheng Xi.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The Cheng family is worthy of putting on an air of wealth and wealth. The engagement banquet was held at the most upscale hotel in the city. A whole floor was reserved for that night, and the banquet was held in a self-service format Right in front of the hall is a big stage surrounded by flowers and streamers.

The number of people invited to the engagement banquet this time was not very large, but those who were invited were all famous people, including guests from the Cheng family and He Rong's side.

Speaking of such a grand occasion, Cheng Bin's heart is also bleeding. The most important thing is that this son-in-law was forced to marry his daughter. If he were to choose, he would definitely look down on a duplicitous character like He Rong.

But how many engagement banquets can a girl have in her life?

He must not be wronged, the jewel in the palm of his hand, not only to do it big, but also to make a sensation in the whole city, so that his daughter of the Cheng family will have a bright face and a bright future.

In the end, Cheng Rongrong was indeed a sensation in the whole city, but not in the way they expected.

Cheng Xi was wearing a silver-gray suit, which was slightly soft, while Xu Gen was wearing pure black, which made him look colder, with a straight back and a tall figure.When the two stood together and entered the arena with a smile, they looked like a pair of lovers. In an instant, they stole the limelight of everyone's jewelry, and their momentum was the same for a while.

But in fact, the two were inseparable. Cheng Xi always had a knot in his heart that couldn't be solved. He and Xu Gen rarely talked, and it was only when he attended the dinner that he put on a smile on his face.

The second youngest of the Cheng family suffered from Xu Gen's hands. Last time, Cheng Da was almost choked by Cheng Xi. Only Cheng San was unwilling to let the two of them go so easily. Cheng Xi and Xu Gen scoffed at their attitude of avoiding seeing each other and not talking about it, and they must sharpen their guns and go into battle by themselves.

He held up the goblet and walked up to Cheng Xi, and this time he rescued Cheng Xi from the crowd. Cheng Sanxin was arrogant, and always looked down on Cheng Xi's role of hugging thighs. In his mind, Cheng Xi was A person who has no ability of his own, he naturally has a sense of superiority to such a person, he said: "Isn't this our famous person Cheng Xi?"

Cheng Xi was taken aback and looked at him suspiciously.

"Now maybe you can find your indecent photos by searching on the Internet, or they may be sold on pirated discs... Don't you know, Cheng Xi, that you are already popular?" Cheng Xi San smiled very complacently. This kind of villain's proud face really makes people want to tear him apart.

"Really, can you make a copy for me if you have time? I want to see it too." Cheng Xi took the champagne from the waiter's tray and toasted Cheng San.

The corners of Cheng San's eyes twitched slightly, and he said, "Your taste is really unique, you won't even let yourself go."

Cheng Xi blinked, "If I haven't seen what you said, how can I tell if you're framing me? Besides, not everyone is like you, who enjoys snooping and searching other people's privacy. Is something wrong?"

——Cheng Xi tilted his head.

The little volcano in Cheng San's heart was about to erupt, yet Cheng Xi looked at him with such an ignorant and innocent expression, why is that!

At this time Xu Gen walked over from the crowd, and Xu Gen's hard-line style was clearly evident at this moment. He directly pulled Cheng Xi behind him, and said to Cheng San with a cold face: "Master Cheng, if you really want to find Chat with Cheng Xi, you might as well talk about it at home another day, you are very welcome to visit."

There is nothing incomprehensible about the naked threats on Xu Gen's face. It is obvious that Cheng San's provocateurs are about to piss him off. Cheng San didn't expect Xu Gen to stand up for Cheng Xi. It's good to just tease him around, why should someone with Xu Gen's status bother?

He dared to hang around Cheng Xi like a fly, but he didn't have the guts to challenge Xu Gen's authority.

Xu Gen is obviously a dictator who said "my people can only be bullied by me, and others can't get involved".

Finally got Cheng San away, just as Xu Gen was about to speak to Cheng Xi, Cheng Xi nodded to him and said hello, "I'll sit next to you, you go first."

So Cheng Xi ran to sit on the sofa by the balcony of the hall without looking back. The engagement banquet hadn't started yet, and there were some young actors performing on it to warm up the scene. It took a long time for his face to match Li Yifeng's name.

Li Yifeng didn't expect that he would not only act, but also come and sing...

Li Yifeng sang vigorously on it, and didn't notice that Xu Gen and Cheng Xi had both come. Cheng Xi propped one hand on the mahogany armrest of the sofa, and gently shook the wine glass with the other, watching him perform.

The guests were in groups of three or four, and few of them really noticed the performance on the stage. Li Yifeng and others
