Pretty and Flirtatious Cheap Good Chen Liguo [13]
If possible, Liu Shasha didn"t want to see Xie Anhe ever again.
If it weren"t because of Xie Anhe, Sun Qingqing wouldn"t have ever experienced these bad things. For ordinary people, this was already a devastating blow, let alone such a frail person like Sun Qingqing.
Xie Anhe entered and sat down in the living room.
Liu Shasha asked, "Want a smoke?"
Xie Anhe nodded.
After Liu Shasha gave him a cigarette both of them lit it.
The strong smell of cigarettes gradually filled the whole room. The two looked at each other in silence without any intention of speaking first.
Liu Shasha finished smoking before him. She pushed down the cigarette end into the ashtray and faintly said to Xie Anhe, "Tell me, what do you plan to do?"
Xie Anhe furrowed his brows and said, "This is indeed my fault. I will take responsibility." When he said this, there was an intense agitation between his brows, seeming like it would erupt at any moment.
Liu Shasha looked at him coldly.
Xie Anhe asked, "Where"s Qingqing?"
"Sleeping." Liu Shasha said. "His mood is very bad. When you see him, be a bit more careful——"
Xie Anhe said, "En."
Liu Shasha had a lot she wanted to say to Xie Anhe but when she thought it over, she wondered what effect these words would have.
Did Xie Anhe really like Sun Qingqing? If he really liked Sun Qingqing, how could this matter with Xie Anzhuo happen?
Just as Liu Shasha thought this, the scuffling sound of slippers came from the bedroom.
The two people in the living room looked over and saw Chen Liguo walk into the living room from the bedroom in his pajamas as he rubbed his eyes.
"H-how come you"re all here?" When Chen Liguo saw Xie Anhe, he asked in horror, "What did you come for?"
Xie Anhe said, "Qingqing!" He stepped forward, wanting to hug Chen Liguo.
Chen Liguo penetratingly yelled, "Let me go——"
Xie Anhe said, "Qingqing, it"s me! I"m Xie Anhe!"
The rims of Chen Liguo"s eyes were filled with glistening tears as he shrunk into the corner of the room, looking at Xie Anhe miserably. He wanted to say to him, "Your brother is an unmatched ultra-pervert. He actually sprinkled mosquito repellant onto my chrysanthemum——It feels like a thousand men have done it."
"I"m not clean, I"m not clean——" Chen Liguo shook his head in despair and said, "Xie Anhe, don"t touch me!"
When Xie Anhe heard this his heart was sour. He reached out and firmly hugged Chen Liguo. His voice trembled. "Don"t say that about yourself——Qingqing, you are the cleanest."
Liu Shasha who stood on the side simply watched on, as the two people put on a play of "I"m not clean" and "no, you"re the cleanest" back and forth for a long time, so impractical it made people"s teeth hurt.
Three cigarettes were smoked but these two weren"t done yet.
Liu Shasha said with gnashed teeth, "Xie Anhe, Qingqing doesn"t feel well, let him rest first——Qingqing, what did you come out for?"
Only then did Chen Liguo remember. He said with hazy eyes, "I came out to use the washroom."
Liu Shasha said, "Then hurry and go ah."
Chen Liguo sensed Xie Anhe tap his palm and tearfully said, "En, I"m going." After saying this he drifted away.
Xie Anhe looked at the figure of Chen Liguo"s back, his eyes full of heartache. He resolutely said, "This matter won"t end like this."
However, Liu Shasha coldly sneered in her heart when she heard this. Won"t end like this? Xie Anzhuo was Xie Anhe"s older brother, could it be that Xie Anhe could castrate Xie Anzhuo?!
When Chen Liguo came out of the washroom Xie Anhe had already left.
Liu Shasha looked at him searching around and said, "Qingqing, he"s gone to help you get revenge."
Chen Liguo thought, "Take revenge how? Is he going to pour mosquito repellant onto Xie Anzhuo"s chrysanthemum too? Oh, remember to pour a bit more."
Liu Shasha said, "Continue sleeping." She rubbed Chen Liguo"s messy and soft hair and said, "I"m here."
Chen Liguo was moved by Liu Shasha"s maternal love and slowly fell asleep under her lullaby.
This matter caused a disturbance for no less than half a month.
Liu Shasha originally thought that Xie Anhe saying that he would get revenge for Sun Qingqing was just all talk. However, she didn"t expect that he really would make a move against Xie Anzhuo.
As of late, media reports about the two Xie family brothers breaking off relations was becoming more and more intense. It was to the point that some even said they had seen them fighting in public.
Xie Anhe came over to sit for a while every day. Although he sometimes couldn"t see Sun Qingqing, his face still carried a happy expression.
Liu Shasha saw him looking like this and mocked him, "Why didn"t you cherish him properly at that time? What use is it pretending to have deep love now?"
Xie Anhe said with difficulty, "It was my fault."
Liu Shasha asked, "You really fought with Xie Anzhuo?"
Xie Anhe gave a few bitter laughs but didn"t answer.
Thus, Liu Shasha didn"t ask anymore.
Because of this matter, the plan that had originally been decided for Chen Liguo was affected. Liu Shasha wanted to let him rest for a while before resuming with work but Chen Liguo took the initiative to ask that they continue with their original plan.
Chen Liguo said, "If I do a bit more work, then maybe I won"t think about it so much."
Liu Shasha"s heart felt unwell when she heard this. She said, "If something is wrong, just tell me. Qingqing, don"t hold it in okay?"
Chen Liguo nodded and said, "Shasha, don"t worry about me." In truth, he was sincere when he said this but Liu Shasha evidently didn"t believe him. She took Chen Liguo"s words as him acting strong and was even more anxious.
However, even though she was distressed for Chen Liguo she still arranged work for him——As a guest for the most popular reality show right now.
In fact, reality shows were the most likely way to expose a star"s true nature. Although there might be a script, the small details of a program couldn"t deceive people.
The program that Chen Liguo was attending was similar to a detective treasure hunt. In any case, it was quite entertaining and Chen Liguo regarded it as pretty good even if he was just going to play around.
However, Chen Liguo didn"t expect that he would see someone familiar when he arrived at the set——Yang Wenya.
"Why is she here?" Chen Liguo asked in surprise.
"Who?" Liu Shasha was in the middle of looking through the script and carelessly asked.
Before Chen Liguo could respond to Liu Shasha Yang Wenya had already seen him and walked over with a few steps, calling, "Sun ge, you"ve come!"
Chen Liguo nodded.
"I didn"t expect that you really would partic.i.p.ate in this program." Yang Wenya had excitement written all across her face. She said, "I haven"t seen you for a long time……"
Chen Liguo said, "En, long time no see."
Yang Wenya asked, "Sun ge are you feeling unwell? Why is your complexion so bad?"
Actually, Chen Liguo"s condition hadn"t been good recently. The stimulation he received from the mosquito repellant was too great. He shivered every time he saw green things.
Chen Liguo said, "I"m fine. What about you? How have you been recently?"
Yang Wenya quickly told Chen Liguo all about her recent arrangements. Her att.i.tude towards Chen Liguo was still like that of an infatuated fan. When speaking, she had no reservations at all. She even told him about Qin Palace Records inviting her over.
Yang Wenya declared, "Sun ge, when I get this movie I"ll invite you to eat!"
Chen Liguo looked at her and thought, "Young lady, actually you"ve already been decided upon." However, he didn"t tell her and just lightly said, "Alright."
Yang Wenya glanced at Liu Shasha, looking like she wanted to speak but was hesitating.
Liu Shasha saw this and said, "You two chat, I"ll go buy you two water."
Chen Liguo nodded.
After Liu Shasha left, Yang Wenya let out the words she had held in her heart. She asked, "Sun ge, have you gotten in touch with Xiao Jiu recently?"
At the mention of Xiao Jiu the smile on Chen Liguo"s face suddenly simpered. He said, "Why are you asking about her?"
Yang Wenya was a bit at a loss. She said, "She had always been hanging around me before but then she suddenly disappeared." Although she didn"t have any good feelings for Xiao Jiu now, she still had some concern for her in her heart.
"You don"t need to worry about her." Now that he thought about it, Xiao Jiu was Xie Anzhuo"s daughter. If her father found out that she liked a female star, perhaps she"d be locked up at home to be carefully educated.
Hearing Chen Liguo speak so, Yang Wenya put her heart at ease.
The mood of the conversation between the two was very harmonious. The greatest surprise for Yang Wenya was that he was willing to give her advice without putting on airs despite being a senior.
She also spoke of a lot of things to Chen Liguo. He realized that this girl"s ambition wasn"t small. He didn"t know how she could be destroyed by a man in the previous world.
Liu Shasha came back with two cups of ice water and handed one to Chen Liguo and Yang Wenya each.
Chen Liguo took a sip and eliminated some of the summer heat.
At this time the studio was almost ready. The location of the program was originally set outside but the weather was too hot and the program team was afraid of the actors and actresses getting a heat stroke, so they rented a temporary venue, changing it to an indoor gymnasium.
The program this time was a bit like Werewolf. Everyone would draw an ident.i.ty card and search for clues to find the murderer.
There was indeed a script for the program but not right from the get-go. A portion would be acted out by the stars. If they weren"t brilliant enough, a script would be brought onto the stage. After all, performing arts was not a way to make a living, if it was completely left to the stars, it might not be interesting enough.
As a result, Chen Liguo drew the ident.i.ty of the murderer.
Then the program staff took back the card and let them enter the venue.
Search for clues for an hour, discuss it for 20 minutes, then finally, vote for one person. Moreover, the murderer had an opportunity to kill someone every day and could also find a skill card in the venue to help them. For example, there were some skill cards that would render someone unable to speak, or other cards that could make someone unable to smile or laugh……
The other murderer was a sweet-looking actress.
The two of them both looked harmless and after the first search for evidence, no one doubted them.
On the contrary, it was Yang Wenya who came up to Chen Liguo with all smiles and asked him what his ident.i.ty was.
Chen Liguo said, "If I were the murderer, I would definitely kill you on the first day."
When Yang Wenya heard this she said, "Sun ge, you"re so merciless——"
A bit of a smile showed in Chen Liguo"s eyes.
However, unfortunately, someone found key clues in the third clue collection round and they were able to determine that the murderers were a man and a woman. On top of that, the woman had long hair.
The suspects were reduced to three people and on the basis of the clues, the actress who was also the murderer was directly voted out by the public.
Thus Chen Liguo could only fight a lone battle.
By this time six people had already died including one murderer. Only five civilians and one murderer were left.
Yang Wenya now had doubts about Chen Liguo"s ident.i.ty. She followed Chen Liguo around when searching for evidence during the "daytime" and Chen Liguo let her follow, his manner very calm. This instead made Yang Wenya wonder if she was thinking too much.
However, while the two were stuck together, a broadcast rang out, announcing that someone had been killed off.
Yang Wenya asked with horror, "How could someone suddenly get killed off?"
Chen Liguo said, "The murderer must"ve made a move."
Yang Wenya asked, "Sun ge, you really aren"t the murderer?"
Chen Liguo pretended to be helpless and said, "Of course not——You"ve already followed me around for two turns and you can"t tell?" Actually, he had used a skill card.
Yang Wenya looked at Chen Liguo"s innocent expression that held a bit of helplessness in it and thought that if Sun Qingyi really was the murderer then his acting skills were way too good.
Yang Wenya said, "Ah, then it"s really me who guessed wrong, I"ll go check other people……."
Chen Liguo said, "En, let me know if you find any clues."
Yang Wenya nodded.
After watching Yang Wenya leave, Chen Liguo turned to the camera and smiled, "The next one to be killed will be her."
The cameraman looked at Chen Liguo"s gentle smile and felt a chill go down his back——He had also seen his fair share of stars but his acting was so lifelike. No one could match up to Sun Qingyi, no wonder he was the film emperor.
Chen Liguo still wasn"t suspected. During the next day an innocent civilian was cast off and Yang Wenya died while searching for evidence.
In her speech after her death, Yang Wenya said, "Who is the killer in the end? I can now cast off all suspicion from Sun ge——I"ve followed him for two rounds and he showed no abnormal behavior."
After Yang Wenya left everyone"s expression was heavy.
Chen Liguo looked at everyone and said, "Now I suspect that there are still two murderers present."
A star asked Chen Liguo why he thought so.
Chen Liguo responded. "We know that one of the clues we found was "black hair like a waterfall"——Everyone figured that this meant that the murderer was a woman with long hair but I don"t know if you all remember, if we think about it, isn"t there actually a person who acted in a movie called Long Black Silk?"
Everyone looked as if they suddenly realized the truth.
The clues given by the program team were indeed very good. So long as one"s knowledge was rich enough they could interpret the information in different ways.
The man called out by Chen Liguo was alarmed. He said, "I"m really not the murderer! Sun ge, don"t wrongly accuse me!"
Chen Liguo said with a smile, "I"m just giving everyone my reasoning. Whether you are or are not still has to be discussed over by everyone."
Be that as it may, he had already given numerous connections, so the male star was directly cast out during the day. Now, only four of them remained on the scene. Two women and two men, one of whom was Chen Liguo.
Because the scope had been reduced, some people already began suspecting Chen Liguo. Chen Liguo thought about it and then immediately after evidence collection was over, he casted a "speech prohibition" card on himself.
Thus, when it was discussion time, he could only keep his mouth shut the entire time and occasionally use gestures to express what he wanted to say.
Because Chen Liguo couldn"t speak, the people who originally directed their guns at him moved to a new target of suspicion. Thus, Chen Liguo pa.s.sed through the last day smoothly.
Finally, when the director announced that the murderer won, everyone was flabbergasted. After the people who had dropped out came back, they all expressed heartache and regret to the people on stage, saying that they had all been deceived by Chen Liguo……
"Ah!! Sun ge you really were the murderer!" Yang Wenya couldn"t believe it. "You acted too realistically!" That innocent expression, that wronged look, presumably no girl would be able to endure it ah.
Chen Liguo laughed, "I thought that I would be voted out."
"Heavens, you"re too good." Yang Wenya said. "Also the last day, how did you come up with the idea to prohibit yourself from speaking——"
Chen Liguo spread his hands. "Because I didn"t know what I should say."
As a fan of Sun Qingyi"s, Yang Wenya could already imagine the crazy appearance of Sun Qingyi"s fans once this issue came out. She said, "Being a star is really great ah, you can act together with your idol, I"m so happy ahhhh." Others might think that she was flattering Chen Liguo but in fact, Yang Wenya really did become a star because of Sun Qingyi——As a fan, accomplishing this much was probably her biggest success.
Chen Liguo was a little tired once the filming was done. Originally, the program team still wanted to invite them all to dinner but he was a little sleepy and refused.
In the luxury van, Liu Shasha asked how he was doing.
Chen Liguo wearily said, "I feel like my body has been hollowed out……"
Liu Shasha: "……" I don"t know how I"m supposed to continue the conversation.
Chen Liguo closed his eyes to rest. The system told Chen Liguo that Yang Wenya"s completion degree had increased a little. It wasn"t by much and the progress was very slow.
Chen Liguo said, "He, this bothersome little goblin."
System: "……"
Chen Liguo said, "Baby, why haven"t you been talkative lately?"
The system said, "There"s something wrong over at headquarters and I"ve been having meetings the whole time recently."
Chen Liguo asked with horror, "Meeting? Could it be that sometimes you"re not in my body?"
The system said, "Digital meeting……"
Chen Liguo said miserably, "You actually use my body to receive so many bad things. He, stupid system, you"ve successfully attracted my attention."
System: "Speak properly."
Chen Liguo said "Honey, go to the meeting. I"ll nurse the child muah."
System: "……"
Some problems had occurred in the headquarters for the systems as of late. It was said that they had been sued by the AI Protection a.s.sociation who said that they weren"t doing their best to protect AI and not only made them work overtime but even made them suffer various kinds of torment and devastation——From this point of view, the system had a deep understanding.
However, although this was a job, the relationship between the systems and their hosts was very good in general. It had also heard that there was actually an AI that had feelings towards their host, transcending race and ultimately……. Ultimately the AI made a body to find the host on earth.
Naturally, this kind of thing wouldn"t happen to the system. If it completed its work, the first thing it would do was probably adding earth onto its blacklist.
Chen Liguo, such a tormenting host was enough for it for a lifetime.
Naturally, the system didn"t tell Chen Liguo the most serious situation. There seemed to be a slight problem in their internal data and the world lines of all the worlds were distorted.
The system heard its colleagues say that the host of a stallion world was inexplicably done by a crowd of younger brothers. That host suffered a severe mental blow and expressed on the spot that he definitely wouldn"t transmigrate to the next world.
Who knew if it had been influenced by Chen Liguo but when it heard it"s colleague"s description what appeared in its mind was Chen Liguo"s strange satisfied smile.
What "don"t want to go to the next world and stay in this world to play"? It must be its misconception from looking after Chen Liguo.
Because of this situation, the system didn"t have much time to manage what Chen Liguo had wasted into in this world. In any case, this world was compensation for Chen Liguo. It"ll let him waste away.
Although Chen Liguo told the system to attend its meeting, he still chatted with the system, saying how he hadn"t seen Xie Anhe for a long time. Did he lose in his fight with his brother? Did his chrysanthemum also have mosquito repellant poured onto it?
The system could keenly feel Chen Liguo"s resentment from his grumbling but why didn"t it feel any pity and instead even wanted to laugh?
Xie Anhe just so happened to be waiting for Chen Liguo downstairs of his home when he arrived.
Liu Shasha didn"t give any good face towards him. Chen Liguo still had a cowering appearance——A completely different person from how he was on set just now.
Xie Anhe said, "Qingqing, what do you want me to do for you to be willing to forgive me?"
Chen Liguo said, "Sorry, Anhe, when I see you, I think of……" Think of the fear of being dominated by mosquito repellant.
Liu Shasha couldn"t continue watching and said, "You like Qingqing so much, let him top you once ah! You can try the flavor too!
Chen Liguo and Xie Anhe fell into a confused silence.
Liu Shasha angrily said, "Sun Qingqing, it can"t be that you have never thought of doing Xie Anhe once could you?"
Chen Liguo: "…… Haha, I have."
Liu Shasha: "……." Look at this weak little shou appearance ah.
Xie Anhe clenched his teeth and made up his mind. He said, "Qingqing, so long as you"re happy, I"m willing to let you do it!"
Chen Liguo originally wanted to refuse but he suddenly thought of something and a strange smile appeared on his face. He said, "Okay."
Xie Anhe: "……" It really was okay?
Chen Liguo touched the little green bottle in his pocket and smiled at Xie Anhe. "Of course okay."
Xie Anhe: "……" He had a very very bad feeling.
Chen Liguo reached out his finger and lifted Xie Anhe"s chin. He lightly said, "Go inside ah. Or do you even want me to carry you in?"
Xie Anhe hung his head and entered the house.
Liu Shasha looked at Chen Liguo"s appearance and thought that if Sun Qingqing really was as a.s.sertive as when he acted then he wouldn"t be bullied by Xie Anhe, this sc.u.m…… Ai, it was a pity that it was all acting……
The Author Has Something to Say:
Begging for a wave of nutrient fluid lululu. Starting to think about how Chen Liguo should die ehehe.
Thank you darlings for the mines, grenades, and rocket launchers, muah! Thank you Heicha"s 50 bombs, Niugai"s deep water torpedo, and elder sister (Pervert Xizi)"s deep water torpedo. Thank you all roar ♥
StormFrost: That green bottle seems…… Verrryy suspicious. Suspicious indeed | ू•ૅω•́)ᵎᵎ Rip a certain person"s chrysanthemum if it"s what I think it is.
Misogi: Bet all my money on a certain chrysanthemum suffering from the mighty force of mosquito repellant
