The Price of Rebirth [System]

haven't seen you for a long time.

With four simple words, Yuan Cheng's tone didn't fluctuate too much, as if he didn't reveal the slightest strange emotion when facing a stranger, but Zhang Chongji laughed softly.

"Yuan Cheng, do you miss me?"

"You!" As soon as Zhang Chongji's words fell, Bai Lingling subconsciously grabbed Yuan Cheng's arm, glaring at him with beautiful eyes, but her face was distorted by disgust and disbelief, "You still have the face to talk nonsense! "

Bai Lingling's voice subconsciously increased its decibel due to emotion, and once again aroused curious whispers from the surrounding people, but Zhang Chongji just glanced at her lightly, and then stopped his gaze on Yuan Cheng's tightly grasped arm superior.

"Standing together, you really look like a man and a woman."

Zhang Chongji pursed the corners of his lips, and raised a smile that was uglier than crying, as if he was talking to them or talking to himself, "Yes, they are already married couples."

What Zhang Chongji said is true, if one ignores the expression on Bai Lingling's face that has nothing to do with beauty, the two of them would really be an admirable couple standing together.

Yuan Cheng didn't speak or refute, just stood there and looked at him straight, Zhang Chongji couldn't see the real emotion behind his eyes at all, but Bai Lingling seemed to accept his statement and proudly hooked him. The corners of his lips curled up.

Zhang Chongji sighed softly, bowed his head and remained silent for a while, when he raised his head, his eyes were calm and impermanent, without any trace of the bitterness that had just worried him.

"Since I've heard everything, I have nothing to say," Zhang Chongji smiled. He looked at the man opposite him with sarcasm in his eyes, his voice was light and ethereal, and Yuan Cheng clenched his fists with an explanation that seemed indifferent, "Aren't you Did you already know, what kind of person I am, why bother to make such unnecessary temptations."

Yuan Cheng moved his Adam's apple, but no sound came out, he stood there stiff and dull, looking at him oppressively and dull.

"If you forget, I don't mind helping you remember." Zhang Chongji's voice gradually lowered, and the black pupil looked at him like a black hole without emotion, "That night downstairs at my house, I..."

"To shut up."

Yuan Cheng finally couldn't help but speak, his magnetic voice was somewhat inexplicably low and hoarse, he lifted his glasses frame, the cold reflection on the lens was a bit harsh to Zhang Chongji, it seemed that before Zhang Chongji could continue talking, he Some rudely interrupted the sentence.

"How could I... forget."

Zhang Chongji's eyes flickered, he didn't speak, just looked straight at him, the other party's thin lips were also tightly pursed, and his brows were frowned as if he didn't want to mention it again, but the two fell into a strange silence when their eyes collided.

"What are you guys talking about?" Seemingly unwilling to be ignored, Bai Lingling stood in front of Yuan Cheng angrily, blocking the sight of the two of them looking at each other, and making Zhang Chongji dazzled.

Looking down at the toe of the shoe for a while, he let out a breath slowly and said "Sorry" softly.

Ignoring Bai Lingling's slightly surprised gaze, Zhang Zhongji pinched the bridge of his nose as if nothing had happened, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was faint but as if he was facing a stranger who didn't care about himself.

"I'm really sorry if that phone call caused trouble to you. Well, just treat it as a stranger who made the wrong call." Zhang Chongji paused, his nonchalant expression stabbing Yuan Cheng's eyes, "In the future, there will be no more calls." This stupid thing happened."

Seeing that gentle face spit out cruel sentences word by word, Yuan Cheng clenched his fist tighter and tighter, his short nails almost pinched into his palm, so the sudden phone call a few days ago was just a temporary up?What did he think of himself?

In Yuan Cheng's mind, it seems that his resolutely indifferent back that day still remained, but the most struggling thoughts in his heart completely collapsed after that phone call.

Yuan Cheng didn't seem to know what he had done, and when he came to his senses, he was already standing in front of that person who made him so painful.

Just seeing his eyebrows and hearing his voice, Yuan Cheng's whole body seemed to have fallen into an endless whirlpool, as if his whole body had become ice-cold but his heart was beating more violently than ever.

"You're self-aware!" Facing Zhang Chongji's attitude, Bai Lingling enjoyed and felt a little uneasy. He barely gave Yuan Cheng a chance to respond, so he interrupted hurriedly, still not letting go of his vigilance towards the man in front of him.

Zhang Chongji took a deep look at her, pursed his lips and turned to leave, his slender back looked inexplicably distressing.

There was no trace of nostalgia, not even a polite goodbye, but the uneasiness in Bai Lingling's heart began to gradually expand, and she felt that the arm she was holding tightly was a little loose, accompanied by an inaudible low-pitched murmur, Bai Lingling couldn't help it. Eyes widened in confidence.

She tightly held the man beside her as her fiancé, pretending not to hear the distraught voice, pretending to be calm and raising a forced smile.

"City, it's almost time, we should go home, dad is still waiting at home..."

Looking at the pair of cold lenses behind the indifferent black pupils, Bai Lingling choked her throat, shut her mouth resentfully but still tightly grasped the other's arm, with a hint of irritation on her face.

"I have to deal with some things, you go back first." Yuan Cheng's voice sounded in his ear, without any emotion at all, but when Bai Lingling felt wronged and sad in her heart, she immediately raised her head and asked.

"Where are you going? What are you going to do? Or...you still miss that man?! Are you going to find him? I don't allow it, you don't allow it!"

"This is my business, it has nothing to do with you." Yuan Cheng pursed his lips and looked down at her. Her pale face was reflected in his indifferent eyes, and he almost cruelly opened her tightly grasped fingers one by one. , with such force that she seemed to break her fingers, "Don't touch me casually again."

"What are you talking about? We are a fiancee now!!" Bai Lingling looked at him almost collapsed, her voice was sharp as if she was speaking, ignoring the whispers and glares around her, she gritted her teeth and hugged him, but she fell down. He was pushed away for a second and then grabbed by the neck.

Amidst the exclamation of the surrounding people, Bai Lingling opened her eyes in disbelief at this handsome man with a gloomy expression. He tried to speak but could only speak intermittently because of the suffocation in his airway.

"Yuan... Cheng..."

"It's just a nominal relationship," Yuan Cheng paused every word, Yuan Cheng's eyes were as indifferent as a millennium's ice, and the words he confided were like a poisonous snake tightly bound her neck, "don't show it off."

"You know, I'm not in love with you."

It was only now that Bai Lingling could clearly see his real indifference behind the glasses, dazzling and gloomy, enough to make her shudder and unable to resist.

That's right, the man in front of me will only have a gentle side when facing that person...

Bai Lingling closed her eyes resolutely, the corners of her eyes were a little wet, but when she was frightened, there was an uncontrollable sadness from the bottom of her heart.

She has never taken a position in this emotional battle.

It's night, the lights are feasting, and the neon lights are flickering.

When the doorbell rang, Zhang Chongji had just finished taking a shower, and he came out of the bathroom wearing only a loose bathrobe, bringing out a faint mist that made him seem to be in a vague haze, inadvertently The skin revealed between the movements is a beautiful ivory white, which seems a bit attractive at first glance.

With a pleasant fragrance and refreshment after bathing, Zhang Chongji wiped his wet hair and saw the man outside the door through the cat's eyes. The corner of his mouth curled up, and he opened the door in such a bathrobe.

It seemed a little cold outside, and the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor made Zhang Zhongji, who was wearing a bathrobe, rub his arms subconsciously. He looked up at the man outside the door, and saw his slightly frowning brows as expected.

Zhang Zhongji smiled disapprovingly, and actually took the initiative to pull the other party's palm to lead him to the back room. The other party was stunned for a moment, and his body stiffened and he let him pull him to sit on the sofa.

"I only ordered two cups of coffee, don't you mind?" After closing the door, Zhang Chongji went back to the sofa and pushed a cup of hot coffee on the table, "It was delivered just now, so it shouldn't be cold yet."

The other party just looked straight at him, pursed his lips and said nothing, while Zhang Chongji naturally crossed his legs and folded his legs. The bathrobe couldn't cover the white and delicate skin on his calves. The natural and ambiguous posture made the other party's throat tighten, and then As if realizing something, he clenched his fist and shifted his gaze elsewhere uncomfortably.

"Let's talk, what do you want to talk about?" Facing his unnatural embarrassment, Zhang Chongji just chuckled without breaking it, took a sip of coffee, and said in a casual tone, "Seize your own time, if it takes too long, I'm afraid your fiancée will You will come to settle accounts with me again, Mr. Yuan Cheng."

The man sitting on the sofa opposite him was wearing a light gray sweater, wrapped in a black cloak coat, which made his legs more slender. He frowned and looked at Zhang Chongji, and said hoarsely after a while: " ...Why did you choose such a place?"

It's not a park, it's not a coffee shop, it's just an ordinary hotel room, but it's enough to make him uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

The mixed aroma of bath and coffee is like an intoxicating injection, making it difficult for Yuan Cheng to breathe. What makes him feel even more deadly is the laziness of the man in the bathrobe in front of him, exuding an irresistible fragrance. Breath, there is a faint string in his mind that is close to collapse. Yuan Cheng tried his best to restrain his gaze from staying on the other party too much, but his heartbeat became more and more violent. He couldn't control himself at all, as if he was about to jump out in the next second. chest.

"Such a place?" Zhang Chongji repeated in a murmur, then chuckled, looking at Yuan Cheng's eyes with a hint of sarcasm, "It's just a few words, I don't plan to spend more time here above."

As if a basin of cold water was being poured down, Yuan Cheng's expression was obscure, he moved his lips and finally looked at him with clenched fists.

"...Do you have to talk to me like this?"

Zhang Chongji looked at his obscure expression, froze for a moment, then lowered his head, his long eyelashes curled up beautifully but trembling slightly, his tone was almost a murmur of ridicule, his voice was soft enough for the other party to hear.

"We've already broken up, and you know my true face, don't you? It's far from the innocent and innocent character in your heart. I'm selfish and jealous. Anyway, you'll just think that I'm just pretending... um— —”

The sadness and mockery in the man's eyes made the indifference he had managed to maintain finally collapse. Yuan Cheng couldn't suppress himself anymore, he obeyed his feelings uncontrollably, reached out and grabbed the other's wrist and pulled him into his arms forcefully.

Yuan Cheng's arm was so strong that Zhang Chongji bumped into the other's strong chest in a helpless manner. Both of them groaned. Zhang Chongji subconsciously wanted to struggle, but Yuan Cheng kept him tightly locked in his arms.

"do not move."

Zhang Chongji's body froze for a moment, then slowly softened and stopped struggling.

"Because of you, I feel that my whole person has become very ridiculous."

A deep voice came from above his head, with cold self-mockery, Zhang Zhongji blinked his eyes and didn't speak, just grabbed the shirt in front of his chest.

After a while, Yuan Cheng sighed slowly, his hoarse voice was low and muffled as if he was drunk:

"No matter how many times I warn you, I can't control my feelings for you. You are right. I miss you, miss you, and miss you like crazy every day. While feeling like a poor worm, I am immersed in in your memory."

Every time he said a word, Yuan Cheng's embrace became tighter, until the end, Zhang Chongji had the illusion that he was about to be crushed in his arms by the other party.

"Many times I have dreamed of hugging you quietly like now, but most of them are the back that you didn't look back that day." Yuan Cheng's cold fingertips gently slid across Zhang Chongji's ear, making him hide subconsciously. After a while, it attracted the other party's dissatisfied bite, and he almost exclaimed for a moment.

Warm breath sprayed on the side of the ear, and the ear was bitten by the man ambiguously and slightly fiercely. Although Zhang Zhongji felt pain, he still gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Zhang Chongji's chin was slightly lifted, and the emotions behind the pair of glasses could be seen clearly due to the close distance.

It was a kind of painful but extremely tired tenderness, which was suffocating.

"Even if you become a devil, I will fall too."
