Chapter 86

After seeing Qin Sheng's caller ID, Qiao Zhenzhen remained absent-minded until Qin Sheng came out of the study with a smile, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

The state is relaxed and the mood is also very good. want to come to Grandpa Chi and Chi Shen to be fine.

that's enough.

Qiao Zhen Zhen stayed in the living room for a while, and when it was almost time, she quietly went back to her room.

When the door was closed, the excitement was isolated, and the ear suddenly became quiet.

"Although you can't contact Chi Shen now, you can still contact Chi Cheng. You didn't need to avoid it just now." Xiao Ba reminded in a low voice.

Qiao Zhenzhen smiled: "I don't want it anymore, every time I finish the phone call with Grandpa Chi, Mom and the others will be very nervous about me, and every bit of emotion will make them worry."

When Chi Shen first left, she often contacted Chi Cheng, and then gradually found out that every time she made contact, Chi Cheng would be very careful, for fear of saying something wrong that would make her sad, and mother and the others too, after contacting For two or three days, the atmosphere at home would become weird, and everyone would think twice about talking to her.

And she also gradually discovered that even if she was in contact with Chi Cheng, she could only get Chi Shen's clichés of "it's okay, not bad, everything went well", which was of no use at all except to worry the elders.

So gradually, she stopped contacting Chi Cheng, as long as she knew from afar that everything was fine with Chi Shen, it was enough.

Qiao Zhen Zhen sighed, lying quietly on the bed, distracted.

Time passed little by little, and city A, where fireworks and firecrackers were banned, was quiet. She lay there for a long time, and finally turned on her phone and found a piece of audio of fireworks. After covering it with a pillow, she pretended to be from a distant city, through Phone video playback sound.

The winter vacation in the university lasts for a full month, but when the time is spent on a series of activities such as visiting relatives and visiting hometown, it seems a little insufficient. Qiao Zhenzhen just felt that the time was in a hurry, and she didn't have a good rest. Entering college life again.

Time slipped through the fingers little by little, and the accumulation of favorability points was still difficult and slow, it took Qiao Zhenzhen more than a year to accumulate 30 favorability points, giving Chi Shen three months of life.

It's too slow, and the increased lifespan can't keep up with the flow of time. At this rate, it may be difficult for Chi Shen to spend his 27th birthday.

Qiao Zhen Zhen became more urgent than ever before, she suddenly realized that just doing good deeds is not enough, she has to think of some more efficient ways to increase her goodwill faster.

By chance, she followed Qin Jing to a charity reception. At the reception, a reporter took a photo of her. When the photo was sent out as a news photo, many 0.01s appeared in her mind. Eight could not be processed, and had to be merged together to form an overall data, which finally showed the number 2.13.

"The host is amazing, a photo can actually increase so much goodwill!" Xiao Ba exclaimed.

Qiao Zhen Zhen was very speechless: "...I knew it was so simple, why would I work so hard?"

"I think it's a new idea, host, are you interested in debuting?" Xiao Ba was curious.

Qiao Zhen Zhen's mouth twitched: "No, but... it is indeed a new idea."

After speaking, she sighed, "It doesn't have to be a debut, just take a few more flattering photos, or improve the exposure, but I don't like to be in the limelight... Wait a minute, maybe Chi Shen is here. It's been two years since I came back."

If he could come back soon, she wouldn't have to force herself to do this.

After listening to her words, Xiaoba wanted to say that Chi Shen's return would mean the end of the treatment. Even if he still had a good impression of her, it might not be the same as before. With an increase of dozens or hundreds of points, there is a high probability that he would still be like everyone else. It's all zero point data.

But it didn't say anything, but changed to another topic: "Host, your photos are widely circulated now, and you may have more goodwill in the future. Do we want to merge the data directly in the future and report it once a week?"

"Okay, this way I'll be clean too." Qiao Zhen Zhen nodded in agreement.

Xiao Ba reminded again: "But after the merger, it is impossible to identify the source of goodwill."

"It doesn't matter, it's all the same." Qiao Zhen Zhen said lightly.

Xiao Ba heard the words, and then set up the merger.

Qiao Zhen Zhen let out a long sigh of relief, her mood suddenly became much more relaxed——

At least when necessary in the future, she can still make a career as Xiaoba said. With the Qin family's ability, she can easily get a lot of resources without any effort. continue.

With a retreat, Qiao Zhenzhen was no longer as exhausted as before, but in Chishen far away on the other side of the ocean, one day early in the morning, she accidentally saw a photo.

In the photo, she is wearing a black suspender skirt, the close-fitting design outlines her plump curves, and she holds a goblet in her slender, white hands with half-drinked red wine in it. She smiled and curled her eyes, talking to Qin Jing next to her, clearly dressed up, but her eyes were innocent.

beautiful.

Chi Shen looked at the photo quietly and didn't move for a long time.

"Hey, Chi Shen," the classmates saw that he had been staring at the computer, came over curiously, and exclaimed after seeing the photo, "Who is she, so beautiful, is she a new star in China?"

Chi Shen's lips moved, and after a long time he said in a hoarse voice, "It's my girlfriend."

"...Don't make trouble, this is obviously a news page, have you forgotten that I am in the same country as you?" The classmate was speechless.

However, Chi Shen ignored him and just looked at the photo quietly.

The classmate stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, and his eyes instantly turned cold.

"...I'm really stunned." The classmate was taken aback by his expression and left embarrassedly.

The surroundings finally calmed down, Chi Shen stared at the photo for a long time, and finally reached out to her cautiously.

However, the fingertips touched the cold screen.

He snapped back to his senses and turned off the computer after a moment of silence.

Time continues to move forward, and everyone seems to be moving forward. When the yellowed leaves fall from the sky again, a new semester begins again.

Qiao Zhenzhen sat under the welcome shed again, and the roommate next to her pulled her to chat: "Can you imagine? This is our second welcome."

"It's my third time." Qiao Zhenzhen corrected.

The roommate was speechless: "Is this the point?! The point is that we are already in junior year, and I don't even have a boyfriend yet!"

"Then you work harder today and take a younger brother back." Qiao Zhenzhen laughed.

The roommate hummed: "You're right, I have to grab the tail of youth... What do you think about that, is it handsome?"

Qiao Zhen Zhen raised her head and glanced at it, it was a boy with glasses, gentle.

"It's okay, but his girlfriend is next to him," she reminded.

The roommate saw that it was real, so she began to search for others. Qiao Zhenzhen was amused by the roommate of the living treasure, and she couldn't help laughing while registering the list of new students with her head down.

"This, this, this is so handsome!" The roommate who had been playing tricks suddenly became excited.

Qiao Zhen Zhen continued to register with a helpless expression: "Don't pull my arm, I can't write any more."

"I didn't lie to you, this is really good-looking. Do you believe that he can become a famous person as soon as he enters the school? It's absolutely amazing," the roommate became more and more excited. Her pen, "Oops, stop writing, hurry up and read!"

The corners of Qiao Zhen Zhen's mouth twitched, so she raised her head perfunctorily, and in the next second, she met a pair of clean eyes.

Very dark, very pure, a bit like Chi Shen.

Time seemed to slow down for a moment, she fixedly looked at the person in front of her, and gradually held her breath.

"Isn't he handsome, right?" said the roommate Xianbao.

Qiao Zhen Zhen didn't speak, she just stared at him blankly, until he showed a bright smile to her, eyes like Chi Shen's were full of smiles, the strange subtlety in her heart suddenly disappeared.

"...He smiled at me when holding grass! No, it seems to be smiling at you, isn't it, is it at me? Ouch, he's here!" The roommate, who has always been eloquent, was instantly cowardly, holding the thing in front of him It jumped, leaving only Qiao Zhenzhen sitting in the same place.

"Hello, senior."

Boys have broad shoulders and long legs, and smooth muscle lines. At first glance, they are the type who like sports. Because of his good looks and the sunshine all over his body, he is the focus of the crowd wherever he goes, and now he is in front of another crowd focus, which immediately attracts more people's attention.

Qiao Zhen Zhen habitually ignored the inquiring gazes around her, turned her head and said to the cowardly bag behind: "Give me back the pen."

"...Oh." The roommate obediently handed the pen over, and quickly avoided it, which made the boy burst into laughter.

Qiao Zhenzhen also smiled, and then handed him the pen: "register the basic information, and then go over there to fill up the meal card and lead the army training uniform."

"I'm not your major," the boy laughed again, showing his little tiger teeth, "I'm in financial management."

[Favorable opinion +1, existing 7.62 points]

"His favorability value is so high!" Xiao Ba exclaimed.

Qiao Zhenzhen paused: "Then you have to go to the financial shed to register. The registration information is related to the dormitory allocation. In principle, it must be divided with your major."

The boy nodded: "I know, thank you, Senior Sister."

[Favorite +1, existing 8.62 points]

"...It can still rise. Is it love at first sight? But love at first sight is too high. The boy who chased you for two years before was only 0.2, right?" Xiaoba continued to be shocked.

Qiao Zhen Zhen was equally surprised and couldn't help but look at the boy a few more times.

When the boy saw her looking at him, he smiled and rolled his eyes, revealing a row of neat little white teeth: "Sister, my name is Mo Chu."

Mo Chu? Qiao Zhen Zhen was stunned.

"...It turned out to be the male lead." Little Bayi said it was no wonder he had such a tone.

The tone of Xiao Ba's sudden realization made Qiao Zhen Zhen very speechless. Seeing that Mo Chu was still unwilling to leave, she found a random reason to leave the matter to her roommate, and left quickly.

As soon as she got back to the dormitory, she immediately asked Xiaoba, "Don't you know that he is the male lead?"

"The original text of the novel is written in words, and there are no photos to show. Before seeing the host, Xiao Ba only knows the general appearance of the host, just like although the host has read the original text, he can't draw a specific image in his mind only based on the text description. Same," Xiao Ba explained patiently, "It could have been speculated according to the progress of the plot, but if the host did not go to the foreign university in the original text, there was no way to speculate according to the plot."

Qiao Zhen Zhen frowned, her expression became solemn for a while.

"It's good for the male protagonist to appear, what is the host worried about?" Xiao Ba was curious.

Qiao Zhen Zhen was speechless: "What's so good."

"He's your official match!" Xiaoba reminded.

Qiao Zhen Zhen was silent for a long time, and finally pulled the corner of her lips: "Forget it, I'm not interested."

In her last life, because Zhao Lianqiao disturbed the plot, she never saw the male protagonist until she died. Although she read the original text in her life and knew the whole process of her and Mo Chu's love in the original text, it was just a reference book for her. And since she got out of the plot, the original text doesn't even have much reference meaning, so I never thought about Mo Chu.

Now that he suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, she couldn't help thinking of his relationship with the Chi family in the original text, and then she had new concerns—

In the original text, because the Chi family had no descendants, he became the heir by chance. Now that Chi Shen is still alive, will he inherit the Chi family in the future? If he fails to inherit, will he become angry and do something irrational to Chi Shen?

"Don't worry, host, the male protagonist's character is a little sun, and his family is also very wealthy. All growth tracks are traceable. Even if he does not inherit the Chi family, he will not suddenly blacken." Xiaoba comforted. .

Qiao Zhen Zhen pulled the corner of her lips: "I hope so."

Mo Chu's sudden appearance really made Qiao Zhen Zhen panic, but after calming down, she figured it out. In the original text, he and Chi Cheng didn't know each other. It was a chance that the two met, Chi Cheng watched His familiar eyes were a little touched, and then he noticed him, and then he cultivated his talents step by step, and finally inherited the Chi family.

The original text didn't describe this part too much, but after reading it repeatedly, Qiao Zhenzhen determined that Chi Cheng looked at the male protagonist differently, firstly because of his outstanding ability, and secondly because those eyes were like Chi Shen. Now that Chi Shen is still alive, the possibility of Chi Cheng handing over the family business to others has been fundamentally eliminated. Chi Cheng and the male protagonist will not have further intersection, and the series of plots after that will naturally not happen.

...Well, the danger is eliminated, she just needs to treat Mo Chu as a stranger.

Qiao Zhen Zhen took a deep breath and decided to avoid Mo Chu as much as possible in her last year of school and be two strangers.

However, she underestimated the natural attraction between the male and female protagonists.

Although she has reduced going out, she still meets him eight times out of ten every time she goes out, sometimes in the cafeteria, sometimes in the playground, and occasionally outside the school. To think he was following him.

After meeting several times in a row, Mo Chu finally stopped saying hello: "Sister Zhen Zhen, would you like to have lunch together?"

"No, I just finished eating." Qiao Zhen Zhen said lightly.

Mo Chu paused: "But you are walking to the cafeteria now."

"Well, I don't want to eat with you." Qiao Zhen Zhen didn't change her face even after being exposed.

[Favorite +1, existing 9.15]

"It's gone up again." Xiaoba was very calm, and even felt that the male lead was a little unqualified. He became a male supporting role, and the increase has never been lower than five. This person only has one point each time.

Mo Chu suddenly smiled: "Sister, I like you, I'm going to chase you."

Qiao Zhen Zhen didn't expect that he would be able to confess under such circumstances, and for a while she was speechless.

"Don't be in a hurry to answer me, just wait for me to chase for a while." After Mo Chu finished speaking, as if afraid of being rejected by her, he quickly turned his head and ran away.

Qiao Zhenzhen: "...Is he really the male lead? Why does he feel that his brain is not very good."

Xiao Ba was silent for a moment: "According to the original text, you like his pure clumsiness when chasing people, very sincere."

Forget it, whether it's pure sincerity or clumsiness, which one can compare to Chi Shen? As soon as Qiao Zhenzhen's thoughts came to her mind, she suddenly felt a little melancholy, she went to the supermarket to buy some food, and went straight back to the dormitory.

Mo Chu's confession was a horn to charge, and after greeting Qiao Zhenzhen in advance, he began to appear in every corner of Qiao Zhenzhen. He just pursued it hard, like every male college student, to do some strange romance, but he didn't ask the people around him for help, and he didn't deliberately please Zhen Zhen Zhen's roommates and let them help put pressure on them intentionally or unintentionally.

However, the people around seemed to be fascinated by ghosts, and they felt that the two of them were born to be a pair, and they should date and fall in love. The school post bar even had their CP posts, and the building was so lively that Qiao Zhen Zhen couldn't bear it anymore.

Finally, she still invited Mo Chu out.

"Senior sister! You came so early." Mo Chu appeared in front of her with a smile.

Qiao Zhenzhen pursed her lips and said after a while, "Brother, I want to tell you something."

"What's the matter? Promise my pursuit?" Mo Chu looked expectantly.

[Favorite +1, existing 11.2]

Qiao Zhen Zhen took a deep breath, frowned and looked at him: "No, what I want to tell you is that I have a boyfriend."

Mo Chu was stunned for a while, then said embarrassedly, "Sister, don't make trouble, even if you want to reject me, find a better reason. It makes me very embarrassed."

"What I'm saying is true. I have a boyfriend, but for some reason, I can't meet him for the time being. I've told other people about this, but they don't believe it," she said. It was also a little embarrassing, "Of course, if you want evidence, I shouldn't be able to show it either."

In order to avoid contact, all her contact methods were changed, and the chat records with Chi Shen were naturally gone.

Mo Chuding looked at her, and smiled reluctantly for a long time: "I believe in Senior Sister."

"So..." Qiao Zhen Zhen looked at him carefully, "Can you give up?"

"If it has caused trouble to the life of the senior, then I will give up," Mo Chu said earnestly, and then paused for a while, "but it will take a little time, the senior is really my favorite girl since I was a child, although You may not believe it, but from the first time I saw you, I thought we should be together."

Qiao Zhenzhen smiled: "You will also meet girls you like very much in the future."

"Hopefully," Mo Chu pursed his lips, "Sister, can we still be friends?"

"After you don't like me, I'm willing to be your friend." In all fairness, Qiao Zhen Zhen never hated him.

Mo Chu smiled bitterly when he heard the words: "Sister is really... You won't leave me a chance to survive, and you won't even give me the qualification to be a spare tire."

Qiao Zhen Zhen laughed dryly.

Mo Chu sighed softly: "Okay, wait for me to calm down, if I don't like you... we'll be friends."

Qiao Zhen Zhen nodded and agreed.

While she was trying to reject Mo Chu, a high-end apartment building on the other side of the ocean suddenly caught fire. Chi Shen, who came back from going out, saw the thick smoke, and his face changed instantly. He dropped what was in his hand and rushed into the apartment building regardless. .

"It's dangerous inside, get out!"

"Are you dying?!"

Chi Shen gritted his teeth and held his breath. He ran to the seventh floor in one breath against the flames. After rushing in, he ignored all the valuables in the house, rushed straight into the bedroom, and hid a photo in his pocket before running out.

The fire spread suddenly, and even the corridor began to heat up, his vision began to blur, sweat dripped from his forehead, and he endured the excruciating pain and walked down step by step. When he was about to walk unsteadily, he could only bite. Grinning his teeth, he leaned on the iron handrail.

The moment his palm touched the armrest, there was a sharp pain, and his brain was instantly awake. He gritted his teeth and forcibly tore off the palm that was stuck to the armrest, and rushed out of the building with the blood in one hand.

The cool wind blew, he breathed lightly, and fell straight to the ground.

When he woke up again, he was already in the hospital, his left hand was wrapped into a zongzi, a few Band-Aids were pasted on his right hand, and several blisters, large and small, had been applied to his arms.

He moved slightly, and reached for his pocket with his right hand.

Well, the photos are still there.

Chi Shen breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked up, he saw Chi Cheng come in: "Grandpa..."

"Does it still hurt?" Chi Cheng asked anxiously, apparently coming overnight.

Chi Shen shook his head slightly, and after being quiet, he asked, "Why are you here?"

"I heard that your apartment is on fire, can I not come?" Chi Cheng sighed, "It's fine, it's fine."

Although there was nothing wrong with Chi Shen this time, he still scared Chi Cheng enough. For the past two days, Chi Shen was in the hospital, he has been guarding him, and found a safer apartment for Chi Shen by the way. Already moved.

"Actually, I want to rent a villa for you, but if you live alone in space, it's better to stay here. There are relatively few people on the large flat floor, and there will be no more oven fires." Chi Cheng happily introduced to him. , Chi Shen listened quietly, echoing from time to time.

Chi Cheng pulled him around and started to yawn.

"Go to sleep, I haven't slept well for two days." Chi Shen said.

The grandson rarely took the initiative to care, Chi Cheng nodded happily and went directly to the guest room to rest.

When the door of the guest room was closed, Chi Shen took the carefully hidden photo out of his pocket.

A lot of folds are pressed out.

Chi Shen pursed his lips, flattened it and put it in a book, then sat down on the sofa.

Ding dong.

There was a vibration next to him, Chi Shen turned his head to look over, and saw Chi Cheng's cell phone lying there.

His heartbeat suddenly increased, and his fingers trembled slightly.

After a long time, he took the phone carefully, opened Chi Cheng's address book, looked down page by page, and finally stopped at the name of 'Zhen Zhen'.

His Adam's apple trembled, and after a long time he dialed the phone.

beep...beep...beep...

After a few beeps, it was finally connected.

"Grandpa, why did you contact me suddenly?"

The familiar voice sounded, and Chi Shen's eyes suddenly turned red.
