Xiang Ning went home early that day, and before Xu Tingsheng went to pick her up, she had already opened the door and walked in.
Xu Tingsheng came out of the kitchen with the dishes in his hands and asked her what was wrong.
Xiang Ning said, being lazy, I asked for leave for the last PE class.
In the past, when she came back every week, she was always smiling, excited, lively and playful, and loved to tell Xu Tingsheng all the big and small things in school this week, whether it was interesting or boring, she enjoyed herself by chatting.
But this time, Miss Xiang was surprisingly quiet.
I put the dirty clothes in the washing machine by myself, do my homework, then dry the clothes, then eat dinner quietly, and continue to do my homework. The two small lips are always pursed, and I don't know if it's because of stubbornness, grievance, or both.
When Xu Tingsheng was washing dishes in the kitchen, Xiang Ning held the door and asked, "I've finished my homework, can I play with the computer?"
She asked pitifully. Xu Tingsheng probably already guessed what was going on, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Okay."
Xiang Ning went to the study, Xu Tingsheng's movements of washing the dishes became very slow because of his distraction.
Quietly, Xiang Ning came out of the study at some point, and hugged Xu Tingsheng from behind.
There was a moment of silence.
"When are you going to not want me? Xu Tingsheng. When are you going to drive me away?" A pair of small hands in front of Xu Tingsheng grabbed the apron on each side, and the person behind was about to cry. That tone and tone of voice... makes people feel distressed.
"I wanted to get angry with you today, not to go back to our house, but to go back to my own house," Xiang Ning continued, "but I was reluctant, and I missed you very much, and wanted to come here. Then I came again, and you also ignore me."
Xu Tingsheng put down the bowl, washed his hands, turned around and hugged the thin little girl, and said softly, "How could I not want you? I don't talk, but I don't know how to say it, and I feel ashamed. What do you want to ask me?" , you ask, I answer, okay?"
Little Xiang Ning arched her arms in his arms, looked up at him, her eyes were foggy...
"When I was eating at the restaurant at noon, many people were saying, Sister Apple has a boyfriend, and they all announced it. I was very happy, and I went to ask them, who is it? Who is it? I still think, Sister Apple Why don't you tell me. Then they said, that person's name is... Xu Tingsheng.
They actually said that Apple's sister's boyfriend is you, how is that possible? Right? I didn't believe it at first. I thought you were good friends, but everyone misunderstood. But they all said that this was written by Sister Apple's own Weibo, and everyone knows it.
Then... I didn't eat afterward, so I secretly went back to the dormitory and cried for a while.
Originally, I wanted to call you, but I was afraid that this would happen. If you admit it directly, I can't even come to you. So, I waited for myself to cry and go to class, then I took a leave of absence and ran here directly, even if I came... I would be driven away by you. "
Xiang Ning talked about her mental journey this afternoon, she was wronged and sad, she endured it, thinking that she must meet.
Xu Tingsheng felt guilty and distressed when he heard it, and kissed her forehead gently but forcefully, then held her cheeks and said, "Then did you check it online just now?"
Xiang Ning nodded, "Yes."
"Then you should have seen it too. In fact, it's just a name. It didn't say it was a boyfriend, and it was deleted soon."
"But... that's also weird."
"It's a little bit, so I'm a little confused."
"Are you confused too? Then have you asked Sister Apple? I want to ask, but I dare not call her."
"I called and wanted to ask, but she turned off the phone."
"Ah?! Oh... that?"
"The current situation is like this." Xu Tingsheng told Xiang Ning about Xingchen, Tianyi, and his own thoughts and attitudes, and then said, "I'm thinking now, instead of me standing up and saying something, it might be more It would be better to wait for Apple itself, I am afraid that if I accidentally get out of this place without silver three hundred taels, the matter will become even bigger... "
"You're still afraid of hurting Sister Apple, ruining her image, and making her lie." Xiang Ning continued, she was so smart.
"Yes", Xu Tingsheng nodded without denying it, and continued, "But the person I'm more afraid of getting hurt is you. So, I want to wait for you to come back, and we can discuss how to deal with this matter together... like a young couple together Live a small life with business and quantity.”
Xiang Ning was slightly embarrassed, smiled through tears, and said, "Sister Apple likes you, right?"
Xu Tingsheng was taken aback by this sudden question, Xiang Ning looked straight into his eyes.
"It used to be." Xu Tingsheng said.
"Then do you like her?"
"When I met her, I came to see you from a long distance, and then gave you noodles, dumplings, and shamelessly approached you. At that time, you were only 14 years old. Tell me, who do I like? … I like you."
Xu Tingsheng's answer in this way was actually evading the question secretly.
Xiao Xiang Ning looked at him suspiciously, and then calculated the time in her heart.
She figured out an empty current period...
"Have you ever been in love? Later, after we met, you were together, right? Then, why did you separate?"
How Ms. Xiang deduced this, Xu Tingsheng didn't know, he was startled, flustered, and heartbroken... This lie has to be told. Because of that period of time, Xu Tingsheng and Xiang Ning were already very familiar with each other, and they could vaguely sense each other's affection for each other.
Then, you want Xu Tingsheng to admit that in that state, he took care of Apple for those three months
No, this hurts this relationship too much, and destroys the beauty in Xiang Ning's heart too much...
"To be honest, don't lie to me, okay?... I might be sad, but I won't blame you, really. At that time, my parents treated you like that, and we couldn't meet each other, so it's actually very difficult for you to fall in love. It's normal. Su Nannan and her boyfriend are not in the same high school, so they split up and found a new one. It's really normal. I can't blame you for that, it doesn't make sense."
Xu Tingsheng hesitated for a moment, and Xiang Ning added, giving him space and expressing tolerance and understanding.
However, Xu Tingsheng still chose to lie, "But, really not." He said.
Xiang Ning looked at him, "Really? I even said I wouldn't blame you. Actually, I'm very happy that you didn't want me."
Xu Tingsheng smiled and said, "Really, I know you won't blame me. But, really not. You can't force me to admit it, can you?"
"Is that so..." Xiang Ning lowered her head and thought for a while, "Did you lie to me?"
"I did not lie to you."
"Then I, trust you?"
"Believe me."
"Yeah", Xiang Ning nodded happily, tears slipped down the corners of her upturned mouth, she patted her small chest, and said, "Oh, I'm so sad, I'm scared to death, oh, I'm afraid you don't want me... Sister Apple It’s so beautiful, and it’s a big singer, I can’t even grab it…”
Xu Tingsheng wiped away her tears, smiled and said, "As long as you still want me, no one can beat you."
Xiang Ning thought for a while, then suddenly her eyes changed a little, and she said seriously: "Actually, I am also pursued by many people."
Xu Tingsheng was stunned for a moment, understood what she meant, then smiled, and said while laughing: "I know, I know, our family Xiang Ning is so beautiful and cute, there must be many people chasing after her. It's okay, uncle smelly shameless, let's go first For strength... Otherwise, maybe you won't be able to line up."
Xiang Ning was not happy at all. She pursed her mouth and said angrily, "Don't laugh. When you smile, it feels like I'm bragging..."
"Huh?!" Xu Tingsheng panicked, "Really?"
His original intention was, really? I need to fix it, to prevent it.
But Xiang Ning didn't sound like this. She felt that Xu Tingsheng's unexpected tone and expression clearly meant that he didn't believe it at all before...
"Look at you, look at you... What is true? You really don't believe it. Hmph, you don't even know what the most common sentence I used to say is."
"What is it?"
"Stop fighting for me, beat me again and report to the teacher."
Invisible pretense is the deadliest, this sentence... is actually very arrogant.
Generally, girls who have the opportunity to say this sentence must have been the focus since childhood and have been admired by many people... Besides, it is "most often said".
Xu Tingsheng was stunned for a moment. Seeing his expression, Xiao Xiang Ning gave a proud "hum" and pretended to say with emotion, "Oh, I really can't stand those naive little boys... you, what are you doing? No Laughing... Oh, you're still laughing, you just don't believe me... I'm really chased by many people!"
Miss Xiang got angry, and the two had a quarrel for a while. Xu Tingsheng hugged her and held her down on the sofa, while he untied his apron with one hand.
"Okay, I believe it, I really believe it," Xu Tingsheng said, "Now, let's discuss how we should deal with this Weibo posted by Apple, shall we?"
Xiang Ning looked at him, "Didn't you say it's better to wait for Sister Apple?"
Xu Tingsheng hesitated and said, "But she can't be contacted now."
"Then wait a few more days."
"Huh? Is that okay?"
"It doesn't matter, what's the matter? I'm fine, then it's fine. Let's not worry about other people." Xiang Ning paused, and said in another breath, "I thought about it, and the solutions you mentioned are still okay. Anything you post on Weibo will actually hurt Sister Apple, she is a public figure, and I've already robbed her of someone she likes... I don't want to hurt her anymore."
"It's okay for me to suffer a little grievance. I, I bully you and make up for it."
The grievance was actually written on his face, Xu Tingsheng took the kind and tolerant little girl into his arms and hugged her tightly.
"Then, how are you going to bully me?" He asked.
"Well... take me to school on Sunday night, and don't drive. You hide in the car every time, and they think it's my dad who picks me up every week. Then, I have to hold... hold your Clothes. Other people's boyfriends give them all, and they all hold hands... I just hold clothes... okay?"
In fact, in Yanzhou, Xu Tingsheng has been trying his best to hide Xiang Ning, hide the relationship between the two, and protect her until she grows up, so he is always very careful, even if Xiang Ning protests. After a few times, it didn't work.
But at this moment, Xu Tingsheng's heart softened in the face of those little pleading eyes wrapped in grievance. He knew why Xiang Ning made such a request, her boyfriend wanted to hide it, it was fine to be a little pitiful at ordinary times, but now, when the whole school was talking about Xu Tingsheng and Apple, she really needed to call herself Cheering up, it's like being angry with everyone, humming silently in my heart, saying, Xu Tingsheng is clearly in my hand... Otherwise, she is really wronged.
"Okay." Xu Tingsheng said.
"Yeah." Xiang Ning nodded happily, but she wasn't too excited. She looked at Xu Tingsheng with a twisted look. She took a look and then avoided it. She faltered and said, "And..."
"what else?"
"Also," Xiang Ning gritted her teeth and opened her arms, "Pick me up... hold me sideways... go to the room... yours... put me on the bed..."
Xu Tingsheng followed her instructions step by step.
"You bully me, Xu Tingsheng." Little Xiang Ning, who was lying on the bed, looked at Xu Tingsheng, and suddenly said bravely and firmly.
"..." Xu Tingsheng didn't recover for a moment.
"I'm not lying this time, it's really for you."
"Goo." The voice of swallowing saliva.
Xiang Ning closed her eyes, "Come on."
She opened her eyes again, "What's wrong?"
Xu Tingsheng smiled wryly, "I still want to ask you what's wrong?"
"I, I think you like me better."
After Xiang Ning finished speaking, she looked at Xu Tingsheng, and explained softly, "I've been bullied by you, would you like me more, Xu Tingsheng? Even if it's only a little bit more, I'd like to..."
Xu Tingsheng's heart was about to melt.
"Today, I was scared. I was afraid that you would lie to me, and that you would run away with someone else. Xu Tingsheng, you have been by my side for a long time. I didn't think about it. I thought I would be without you today. I just realized that I have already gotten used to it." , like it.
My heart wants to hold you, my head wants to hold you, my hand wants to hold you, and my mouth wants to kiss you.
Nose smells you, ears hear you.
The eyes take pictures of you, and the steps walk towards you.
Without you, Xiao Xiang Ning doesn't know what to do, I think I might die. "
If there were no more beautiful words of love, Xu Tingsheng's whole body would melt.
"So, I think you like me a little more, I just think, just think, if you bully me, maybe a little more."
Xiang Ning regained her embarrassment. She is seventeen years old, tall and thin, with a charming appearance. It's hard to resist a seventeen-year-old girl speaking like this, with such an expression.
However, in this state, Xu Tingsheng just couldn't.
…
The devotion was rejected, but what the uncle said seemed to make sense, Miss Xiang had to temporarily put aside her plan of dedicating herself, and then became angry and tormented Xu Tingsheng for a long time...
The two were fighting on the bed, rolling into a ball.
Xiang Ning turned over and lay on Xu Tingsheng's body, suddenly...stopped and looked at Xu Tingsheng. A hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, and Miss Xiang felt that she could win back her breath, and teased deliberately: "Someone just said the truth, said they don't want to, and said... Then tell me, what's going on?"
In order to point clearly, she moved her body to indicate where she was talking, and then... she was frightened and froze there.
Xiang Ning was seventeen, and Xu Tingsheng felt that there was no need to hide these things, so he said very bachelorly, "What's the matter? It's a normal reaction."
Xiang Ning hesitated for a while, then lay down, leaned into Xu Tingsheng's ear, and whispered, "Then, are you feeling uncomfortable, do you want, do you want... let me help you?"
"You can?!"
"… Um."
"Who taught you this?"
"Sister Ye Qing, on the third night in Chengdu... I slept with her, and she asked me if you really didn't have that me, and I said yes. She said, then you are quite pitiful, and then, she just... took A banana."
Xu Tingsheng smiled and shook his head, "This Ye Qing, really..."
He suddenly realized something, "You mean, the third night in Chengdu?"
Xiang Ning was suspicious, she didn't know why Xu Tingsheng wanted to study this all of a sudden, but she answered honestly, "Yes."
"you sure?"
Xiang Ning thought for a while, "Yes."
On the third night in Chengdu, Xu Tingsheng was able to confirm another thing. He was able to confirm that Tan Yao took the key card of the big bed room that night and did not live in the suite. Moreover, he ran out of "tools", so he asked Lao Wai to get two. , then...how could Ye Qing live with Xiang Ning
"Is there anyone in your suite that night?" Xu Tingsheng asked.
Xiang Ning thought about it intently, "Sister Fang Cheng, she said that a classmate wanted to play with her."
Xu Tingsheng thought, "Fuck me, what's going on, what a mess...
Xiang Ning asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Tingsheng hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's okay, I'm just curious. I thought Ye Qing was so serious, someone else taught you."
He avoided the question. What happened is still only speculation at the moment, and the specific situation is even less clear.
In fact, even if it was clarified, Xu Tingsheng couldn't tell Xiang Ning about it. In fact, not only Xiang Ning, but Tan Yao couldn't tell him about this matter. Could it be that...others can interfere with this kind of thing
"Well", Xiang Ning seemed to be quite interested and said, "Then..."
"Then what? Sleep."
"You... hmph, if you don't want it, then don't... You can't even beg me in the future. You are not allowed to buy bananas at home."
"What about bananas?"
"Hmph! I hate bananas."
"..."
…
Apple spent three days in Hawaii, running in the morning, lazily basking in the sun, watching some local performances at night, all in a relaxed state.
She forced herself not to think about it.
Waiting for results.
For the first two days, Li Juan secretly paid attention to the situation in China behind Apple's back. It turned out that Xu Tingsheng, Tianyi, and Xingchen did not make any statements or reactions, and the incident seemed to be gradually fading away...
This was a bit unexpected for her.
If Apple's habit is to think about things that cannot be figured out, and things that cannot be overcome, Li Juan's habit is much better. She always does not think about things that cannot be figured out. She simply turned off the phone completely and went on vacation with Apple to relax.
The two stayed in Hawaii until the fourth day. It was already evening when they returned from the yacht that day. Passing by the pier, they heard two girls talking next to each other.
"Have you heard the new single released by Apple today?"
"No, listen to it later, is it good?"
"Of course, that's Apple, okay? The usual quality assurance."
"That's right, by the way, what's the name of the new song?"
"What do you want from me?"
Apple and Li Juan looked at each other and were stunned, because the two of them, the two people who should have the greatest relationship, actually forgot about this—the release of the new single.
As early as more than a month ago, the company had already set the release time of Apple's new single, which is today.
Today, although Apple is not there, her new single is still on the charts according to the original plan.
How could Tianyi miss such an opportunity
This song "What Do You Want To Me" was supposed to appear on Apple's first album, but at that time, because there were already too many songs in consideration of the album's sad style, the company hoped that Apple could diversify, so we left it for now. down.
This time, I released this song as a single again. From the company's point of view, it is because the quality of Apple's last album is too high, and the new album is not easy to receive songs, so there is no rush, and the continuity of her songs while it is hot , can't be broken... So, take the single as the top.
And from Apple's point of view, it's true that she didn't mean to sing the song to Xu Tingsheng... Of course, in her original idea, only the two of them should understand this hidden meaning.
However, things don't seem right now.
This song is now out, and when added together with the Weibo post a few days ago, it just forms a sentence:
"Xu Tingsheng, what do you want from me?"
It's so fanciful that people don't even think it's fanciful...
"Sister, it's over, I have to post on Weibo to clarify." Apple said anxiously.
Li Juan sighed: "You post now... who will believe it?! This is really a joke."
…
Just as Apple feared.
"What Do You Want From Me", became popular.
What's even hotter is: Xu Tingsheng, what do you want from me
Fans and netizens exploded at the same time.
Tianyi was full of jubilation, and almost opened champagne to celebrate. If this prelude and follow-up were a planned hype... It was simply a master's handwriting. It is impossible to have a more ingenious, more effective, more eye-catching, and more popular arrangement.
With the influence of Apple, Xu Tingsheng, and the magical power of "gossip", tens of millions of people across the country may be listening and discussing it with great interest.
Xu Tingsheng was also listening, helpless and puzzled...
"Is it really a hype? But that's Apple, it's impossible!"
He was depressed, but not angry.
However, at the same time, another person who was listening to the song was furious.
The handsome and elegant middle-aged man stood up and smashed the cup in his hand to the ground.
The assistant pushed the door open.
"Mr. Kasai..."
"My name is Cen."
"Yes, Mr. Cen..."
Cen Qishan calmed down a little, "Go, bring over the information I asked you to collect last time."
The assistant glanced at him secretly, and asked timidly, "I'm sorry, do you mean..."
"The one about that person named Xu Tingsheng."
"Yes, I'll get it right away."
The assistant turned back and walked quickly to the door.
"Wait," Cen Qishan said, "Well, before you bring it over, make a copy first, and then hold a meeting with that copy, and work out a plan to suppress all of Xu Tingsheng's industries as soon as possible, and send it to me for review."
A comprehensive attack on all industries of a dark horse in the business world of country Z? Why? Have a conflict of interest that cannot be resolved? Personal matters
The assistant was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that this is not something he needs to know and should ask, he just needs to follow suit.
"yes."
The assistant left the room.
Cen Qishan looked at the MV playing on the computer...
"Xi Yu, it's fine, leave it to Dad."
