After ng Cheng’an beca the big antagonist, except for the ti she went for further studies, he was always with her.
Tian Xiang felt that his behavior during this period was quite normal, no different from usual, so much so that so things in her mind had faded.
Sotis she even wondered if there was sothing wrong with the label on his forehead, because he seed nice; sotis when he encountered those poor little cats outside, he would feed them, showing a kind heart.
But now, Tian Xiang knew, she was deceived.
The label doesn’t make mistakes.
The mistake was within herself, not paying enough attention.
Following Little Black all the way to the waste factory area, Tian Xiang was sweating coldly and thought about a lot, eventually all her thoughts converging into worry for ng Cheng’an.
Really afraid he’d do sothing foolish and cause harm to himself and others.
What would she do then!
Tian Xiang felt extrely helpless, almost panicked.
Fortunately, the dog was very smart, familiar with his owner, ng Cheng’an, and not long after, the person and the dog arrived at an abandoned factory not far from the ng Family courtyard.
This abandoned factory was a cotton mill area courtyard twenty years ago.
It once flourished here, but it has been deserted for more than twenty years now, the mud-brick walls collapsed, the wooden roof and tiles extensively peeled off, the weeds in the stone seams and corners are half as tall as a person, and the further in you go, the more dilapidated it becos.
Today’s weather isn’t great, both gloomy and cold, coming to this lifeless place, Tian Xiang felt the temperature drop a few more degrees, and looked around, there was an eerie feeling.
Tian Xiang used to be a materialist, not believing in ghosts or gods, dismissing them as feudal superstitions.
Since she could clearly see character labels, she had to believe in so things.
Moreover, this place is so old, surely there are lots of rats!
The thought of those gray furry creatures made goosebumps rise on Tian Xiang’s arms and neck.
This feeling is quite unpleasant.
But there’s no option, ng Cheng’an is likely inside, she must rush in with Little Black.
The unease and worry in her heart triumph over fear, Tian Xiang rode her bicycle closely following Little Black, and eventually, the person and the dog found ng Cheng’an in a half-rotten fenced house.
Seeing him sit dully on a pile of collapsed construction debris, Tian Xiang felt a pang of compassion, put down her bike and wanted to go hug him, but hadn’t walked a few steps before stopping.
Zhou Ming was there too, tied hand and foot, mouth gagged, curled up in the broken house, apparently already unconscious.
He did do sothing foolish, taking soone captive.
Yet, still alive.
Just...
Glancing at the rotten wooden blocks piled under Zhou Ming and the kerosene bottle placed next to him, Tian Xiang shivered.
This, this, this...
He wants to barbecue the person, right!
Tian Xiang slowly walked over, under ng Cheng’an’s surprised and bewildered gaze, she held his handso face and then tilted her chin towards Zhou Ming’s direction, "What’s up? Didn’t have breakfast, tummy growling?"
ng Cheng’an paused, after a blank mont, he lowered his laugh, asked her, "Want to eat together?"
Tian Xiang felt her scalp tingle, a chill rushing from her feet straight to her head, goosebumps climbed her neck again.
She tried hard to suppress those emotions in her heart, and softly rejected, "That’s too cruel, surely it doesn’t taste good."
"Indeed, truly cruel..."
ng Cheng’an murmured, his eyes gradually misting over as he stared at Tian Xiang.
"I also feel cruel, she abandoned , my dad’s trapped there unable to tend, grandpa’s gone too, he said to fight, to seize, to compete, I’m worried about him, but powerless.
I feel like everyone is moving away from , this world is so vast, yet there’s no place for . Those days, I felt desperate and miserable, sotis even thought might as well die, reincarnate well, start again.
But I ultimately didn’t do that, because you’re here.
Though I cannot be close to you, I can watch you from afar.
You’re like the sun overhead, a beam of light in my heart.
Xiangxiang, you don’t know, when you said you wanted to be with how happy I was, I felt all the suffering endured in those past years was worth it.
Because leaving Beijing and coming here, I t you, we fell in love, we like each other, I’m so happy, so happy.
But..."
ng Cheng’an looked towards Zhou Ming inside, "He said he likes you too, wants to watch movies with you, find a matchmaker, wants to take you away.
How can he steal my light?
I hate him, I want him dead."
As ng Cheng’an’s words grew harsh, the violent characters previously faded returned to his forehead.
Tian Xiang stiffly stood in place, heart nearly jumping to her throat.
Alright, turns out Zhou Ming had provoked him before, challenging the big antagonist.
Idiot.
Tian Xiang angrily retorted, "Why are you listening to his nonsense? I am a person, not an object, how can I be easily taken away? He thinks highly of himself, but actually, he’s nothing."
Tian Xiang gazed at ng Cheng’an with eyes full of feeling, "You don’t know, these two days I’ve been very strained with my family, my mom even shed tears to force to et Zhou Ming! I had no choice but to go deal with it.
Yesterday, I wanted to tell you about this, but worried you’d overthink."
Tian Xiang sighed, then squatted in front of ng Cheng’an, looked at him and smiled, even leaned forward and kissed his handso face.
"You’re so tall and handso, I’ve compared with all the young guys on Red Fifth Street to choose you. Since I’ve decided to date you, it’s for marriage and having kids, if you won’t listen to , can’t you trust this face of yours, how can you let him manipulate you so easily?
You were quite smart normally!
Good thing I ca in ti, didn’t cause disaster.
If you really roasted him, got caught eating peanuts as punishnt, what should I do? Who should I marry and have kids with, why don’t you think of these?"
Tian Xiang glared at him.
ng Cheng’an saw her angry, nervously explained, "No one knows I brought him here tied up. These are just old houses from before, many wooden ones, once it burns he won’t remain even a speck, by then no one would suspect ."
Tian Xiang unconsciously slightly opened her mouth, goosebumps already climbed to her face.
She was stunned for a mont and said, "They won’t suspect you, but they’ll suspect ! This morning he disappeared during the movie ti with , then people will definitely co to find first, if I can’t explain where he went, I’ll beco a suspect.
And Cheng’an, you saw before, I didn’t even watch a movie with him, just made things clear, asked him to give up. I’m dating you now, you’re the one I want to marry, I will not look at other n at all.
So, let’s forget this, let him suffer a bit and let him go..."
