The Price of Rebirth [System]

Zhang Chongji has never been so aware of the fact that Yuan Yuan is a big star.

The headmaster frowned and paced back and forth in front of him, and finally threw a newspaper severely on the desk with an angry face, and even gasped for breath and couldn't complete a sentence.

"Look, look, what's written here?"

Zhang Chongji pursed the corners of his lips, and when he saw the big words on the newspaper, he almost immediately understood why everyone looked at him so strangely after entering the school.

"The same-sex lover of a famous singer?!" The headmaster tapped the big black headlines on the newspaper with his fingers, gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Wu, Mr. Wu, I think I need to listen to your explain."

Zhang Chongji blinked his eyes, picked up the newspaper on the table, and clenched his fists.

The two figures on the newspaper may be somewhat blurred by the light from the street lamps, but they are enough to be recognized. I don’t know if the paparazzi did it on purpose or it was the situation at the time. The posture of the two people is very ambiguous. Yuan Yuan hugged him The waist whispered something in his ear, and it seemed to be kissing his cheek lightly on the blurred newspaper.

Misfortunes never come singly, Zhang Chong thought that having a relationship with Yuan Yuan was unexpected, but he didn't want to be secretly photographed or even published in a newspaper. All of this was out of his plan, and he was caught off guard without any psychological preparation at all.

It's just that after a short day, the reports of him and Yuan Yuan going in and out of the private apartment are well known, and there are a few blurred photos of him sitting in the car yesterday morning waiting for Yuan Yuan to go downstairs, plus the deliberately induced Rhetoric and text are quite similar.

Zhang Chongji has never been so annoyed by Yuan Yuan being a big star as he is now. One wrong step, the whole situation is defeated. He can't even imagine how Yuan Ke or Yuan Cheng will react if they see this gossip. He just wants to stop it now. It may also be too late.

"Principal, I'm sorry..."

"Is this something that can be settled with just a word of apology? Do you know how much negative impact this lace news between you and Yuan Yuan has had on our college?"

"..."

Zhang Chongji didn't speak, and he didn't know how to explain it to him. Looking at his toes, his mind was in chaos.

"You settle this matter yourself." The principal took a few deep breaths, as if trying to calm himself down, sat on the office chair, glanced at him, tapped his fingers on the table again and said, "Don't think that you are involved in the filming of a TV series." She is a great little star!"

After closing the door of the principal's office, Zhang Chongji took a deep breath, smoothed out the thoughts in his mind, and took out his mobile phone to make a call to Yuan Yuan while walking.

He didn't blame the headmaster for his cynicism at the end. This incident did have a great impact on Aston College. If he didn't explain clearly, his status and image in Aston College for so long would also be affected. Influenced and disrupted.

Zhang Chongji no longer wants to recall how unsightly the relationship between him and Yuan Yuan was written in the newspaper. The most urgent thing for him now is to let Yuan Yuan explain clearly to the media, and then prepare for what to do next.

Just as he slid open the phone interface, the phone vibrated before dialing a number. Zhang Chongji looked at the three words "big devil" displayed on the phone, and pursed his lips.

It's Yuan Ke's call.

Zhang Chongji held the phone tightly, hesitated for a few seconds before sliding the answer button.

"……Hey."

"..."

There was no expected questioning and anger, and the other end of the phone didn't even open his mouth to speak, but Zhang Chongji realized immediately how much anger the man on the other end of the phone was holding back.

"Yuan Ke, what was written in the newspaper...is not what you think." After a pause, Zhang Chongji opened his mouth, lowered his eyelids, and said in a low voice, "I was just drunk the day before yesterday..."

"Tell me," Yuan Ke's voice was a little hoarse, with an imperceptible vibrato, as if he was trying to suppress his emotions, "You are correcting homework at school and will come home very late, so I don't need to pick you up." ..."

"Yuan Ke..."

"...You lied to me," Yuan Ke's voice was a little tired, and it wasn't the expected anger that made Zhang Chongji's heart feel inexplicably uncomfortable, "Really?"

"..." Zhang Zhongji moved his lips, wanting to say something but finally admitted the truth, "Yes."

"You and him ... spent the whole night together, didn't you?"

"Yuan Ke..." Zhang Chongji clenched his phone tightly, his voice dry, "Listen to my explanation..."

"answer me."

The man on the other end didn't care about Zhang Chongji's somewhat disappointed voice, he just wanted to get the answer he wanted, and his tone was stronger than ever, but Zhang Chongji's nose was inexplicably sour. He pursed his lips and found that his voice was actually a bit trembling.

"I was with him all night...but I..."

"No, but, all of this... is not the same as the newspaper said, there is no difference."

"……you do not believe me?"

It is not wrong for him to have a relationship with Yuan Yuan, but none of this is what he expected. Although Yuan Yuan is one of the targets of the strategy, he has no plans to exchange his body for anything. It was an accident, Zhang Chongji felt a rare grievance besides deep annoyance.

"Yuan Ke, let's not talk about this, okay?"

"..." The man on the other end took a deep breath, but in the end it seemed he could no longer restrain his emotions, every word pierced into Zhang Chongji's heart like a sharp thorn, "I always wanted to I have to believe you, but the damn possessiveness made me go crazy from the moment I saw the newspaper about what you said and what you did that night, Wu Jing, sometimes I really wonder if it’s just a man, You'll be with him."

"Yuan Ke?..."

"Without big brother, you agreed to my relationship, and now you are tired of me, so you went to find that mouse again, didn't you?"

Zhang Chongji's pupils dilated slightly, and he couldn't believe whether Yuan Ke's words accompanied by a sigh were sincere, and all the explanations he wanted to speak were blocked in his throat.

Only now did he realize that Yuan Ke on the other end of the phone is so strange, like a man who is tormented mad by jealousy.

But choosing words made him feel that the blood in his whole body was a little cold.

Zhang Chongji suddenly felt very sad, he didn't know what he cared about, obviously everything was only intended to be an act, but now the subtle pain in his heart seemed to be mocking his ignorance.

"Wu Jing..."

"Yuan Ke," interrupting Yuan Ke's opening, Zhang Zhongji opened his lips, his voice was obscure, as if every word he said seemed to be squeezed out of his throat, losing the gentleness of the past, hoarse and unpleasant, but let the voice on the other end Yuan Ke inexplicably felt a little uneasy, "If, you don't believe..."

Zhang Chongji clenched his fists tightly, raised his tight lips upwards, and forced the corners of his mouth to open, but it was more like a wry smile.

"I don't need to explain anymore, because even if I explain, you won't believe it."

"I……"

"Thank you for letting me wake up one thing while discovering one fact just now."

"Wu Jing, I..."

"Beep beep-"

Before the voice on the other end finished speaking, Zhang Chongji took a deep breath, closed his eyes and hung up the call record, but the pain in his heart made him want to laugh.

And he actually smiled.

Standing alone in the corridor, covering his face with one hand and holding his mobile phone in the other, he lay on the window sill and laughed, which gradually increased from a small voice, and finally turned into a low, suppressed choked cry.

Maybe it's true, as long as it's a man, I'll be with him, Yuan Cheng, Yuan Yuan, even you, Yuan Ke.

Even if I admit that I am in love with you, I should continue to be a heartless scum.

As if all the strength was taken out of his body, Zhang Chongji slowly leaned on the ground along the window sill wall, subconsciously touched the corners of his eyes, but found that they were moist and cool.

Laughing hoarsely, Zhang Zhongji slowly bent his legs to encircle his body, without making any more sound.

The first quarrel with Yuan Ke, to be precise, in Zhang Chongji's heart, the two had broken up by default.

In fact, after Zhang Chongji got Yuan Ke's 100% sincerity, he could find an excuse to break up at any time, and he always thought that he could use Yuan Ke to sneak into Yuan's group, which may be just his real excuse.

There are thousands of ways to attack the Yuan Group, but the one he thought of was just the only excuse to continue being with Yuan Ke.

Maybe Zhang Chongji has been lying to himself all the time, from the false feelings at the beginning to the real act in the end, it is beyond his control.

Emotional strategy, how can you gain the affection of the other party without losing your own affection.

The fact that he discovered was that he might have fallen in love with Yuan Ke, and the one thing he was sober about was that he couldn't love Yuan Ke.

In fact, Yuan Ke almost felt deep regret the first moment Zhang Chongji hung up the phone.

In the conversation just now, he didn't know what he was talking about at all. Jealousy and anger overwhelmed his reason, and his heart was screaming in fear to stop all this, but he couldn't help but speak coldly to that human being. He uttered the most hurtful words, the most piercing sarcasm.

After the other party hung up the phone, inexplicable panic came almost immediately. Yuan Ke's head seemed to explode.

"Hi, the user you dialed has switched off..."

What responded to him was a mechanical and cold voice. Yuan Ke pursed his lips and slammed his phone against the wall, then took off the suit on the office chair and walked out.

"Boss, where are you going..."

The reason why Yuan Ke lost his mind uncharacteristically today is actually somewhat related to work.

The recent situation of the company is very unstable. Yuan Cheng has changed his previous style, almost quickly and directly getting involved in the affairs of the whole company, causing turmoil to the employees and shareholders of the whole company. His father is already preparing to sell the company He left everything to himself, let go step by step, but unexpectedly, Yuan Cheng intervened, and even persuaded several cooperative shareholders who had accumulated huge funds to recommend him as the leader of the Yuan Group, and all this caught Yuan Ke by surprise. At the same time, I was angry.

If it hadn't been for decades of getting along, Yuan Ke would have found it hard to imagine that the man who did the tedious business in an orderly and even handy manner was his elder brother, and he never thought that the two brothers would start fighting for their own property.

Everything has changed.

Maybe it's not just Yuan Cheng, he himself has also become selfish, jealous, and even vicious without knowing it.

Once you get it, you will recognize it as your own, and you will never allow anyone to spy on it—whether it is the company or the person he values ​​most.

The unhappiness with Yuan Cheng was not resolved, he read this morning's newspaper, his whole body seemed to have exhausted his last forbearance, and everything erupted uncontrollably.

Wu Jing, Wu Jing.

After starting the engine, Yuan Ke held the steering wheel with one hand, and didn't even care about the seat belt. The car rushed out as if flying, leaving an afterimage of the smooth body.

Yuan Ke has never regretted or even feared so much like now. Zhang Chongji's words have been circling in his mind like a spell.

"Yuan Ke, if you don't believe me, I don't need to explain anymore, because even if I explain, you won't believe it."

I believe, I believe.

Gripping the steering wheel tightly, the only thing Yuan Ke wanted to do was to hold that person tightly in his arms. He didn't want to pursue any bullshit and gossip, he just wanted to be with him.

The speed of the car was too fast, turning a corner, a large truck was coming head-on, Yuan Ke held the steering wheel tightly while his pupils widened in an instant.

Screaming brakes, collisions, wheels spinning, and the car body overturned, Yuan Ke felt that the whole world began to distort.

Leaning on the automatically deployed airbag in a trance, Yuan Ke's vision gradually blurred, and he faintly felt warm liquid flowing from his head, but he didn't feel much.

"Wu...Jing..."

In the haze, he seemed to see that man, looking at him tenderly with the corners of his lips curled up, the curved eyebrows and eyes still moved his heart so much.

"I... love, love you..."
