Admit defeat

Chapter 29 Cowardice

Cheng Che sat upright in the private room of the restaurant, waiting for Bai Zhen's arrival.

He made an appointment with Bai Zhen for dinner at seven o'clock in the evening, but he sat here before six o'clock.

In fact, until now, he has not understood the significance of his invitation to Baizhen, but he suddenly wants to talk to Baizhen, and wants to chat with Baizhen about some problems, just like after the concert that day , he originally wanted to talk to Bai Zhen as well.

He and Bai Zhen are old acquaintances, until now, Bai Zhen continues to call him "Senior Cheng" as he was in college.This is a very respectful title, so that people close to Bai Zhen, such as his assistant Xiao Tang, all respectfully call him "Brother Cheng".Bai Zhen has always shown himself to be humble. Indeed, he is very polite both in private and in public.During college, Bai Zhen was also known as a good person, and he handled the work of student cadres very well, and he was liked by teachers and classmates. This directly caused those who wanted to dig up black material before he became famous to always return empty-handed.

When the minute hand pointed to seven o'clock, Cheng Che began to get nervous, but it was not until 07:30 that Bai Zhen knocked on the door and entered.

Bai Zhen was wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses and a mask, and long-sleeved trousers on a hot summer day, and he closed the door panting.

"It's dangerous! I was almost discovered." Bai Zhen patted his chest in shock, then took off his sunglasses and hat, and smiled at Cheng Che, those tender and affectionate peach blossom eyes were indeed touching.

"Aren't you more eye-catching when you dress like this?"

Bai Zhen shook his head.

"This is the difference between 0 and 1. Pretending to attract attention but not being found is 0 in real body, and not being spotted by paparazzi and taking pictures is 1." Bai Zhen sat opposite Cheng Che, "Sorry senior, I I'm late, I wasted time recording a song today."

"Is it recording "Compass and Needle"?"

"No, it's another song, didn't Senior Cheng also listen to this song?" Bai Zhen was surprised.

Cheng Che stared at his face for a long time, but he didn't find any trace of fraud, as if Cheng Che was really surprised when he heard his song.

"What do you think, senior? This is my first original song since my debut."

"Very good." Cheng Che didn't make too many comments.

"Thank you, Senior Cheng," Bai Zhen smiled at Cheng Che, with two dimples on his face, "I remember when I was in college, the senior never went to my performance, I thought it was because I sang badly, and the senior didn't like it Listen to my singing."

Cheng Che shook his head.

How could it be bad? Thinking about it now, maybe it was too good, so he subconsciously didn't want to face it, especially with Luo Yao.He still remembered that he and Luo Yao met Bai Zhen for the first time in the final of the school singing competition. Bai Zhen's singing surprised Luo Yao and other audiences. Luo Yao praised Bai Zhen very much, and Bai Zhen won without any suspense. After winning the school championship, Luo Yao, as an invited guest, personally awarded the campus singer's certificate to Bai Zhen.

"You sing very well. Many people in my institute are diehard fans of your fan circle."

"Oh my god, the seniors can even say words like 'fan circle'!"

Cheng Che smiled, but said nothing.He heard this word from the star-chasing girls and boys in the research institute. Perhaps in everyone's minds, he is such a stuffy, boring person who knows nothing but scientific research.

The meals were served one by one, and Bai Zhen also started to eat without any hesitation.

"When I was a trainee in a small company, I had to keep fit every day, and I couldn't take in more calories. Later, I finally got out of the trainee and joined the cluster star. The result is that the requirements are stricter than before." Bai Zhen Very hungry, eating meat.

"Being a star is hard work." Cheng Che rested his chin and watched Bai Zhen eating. He was wearing light makeup and hadn't had time to take it off yet. Even though he was wolfing down food, there was a very individual beauty in his gestures.

"Hmm..." Bai Zhen swallowed a mouthful of food, "Hard work is often defined by people's psychology rather than the body. The stage makes me happy, and I also look forward to climbing to a higher stage, so it's not hard."

Cheng Che nodded and started to eat.

This restaurant is a well-known high-end Chinese restaurant in City H. Luo Yao has brought him here several times. He doesn't know much about places to eat in City H. After much deliberation, this is the only place worthy of Bai Zhen's status.

They sat opposite each other and ate like ordinary seniors and juniors. While eating, Bai Zhen told Cheng Che some interesting stories about him in the entertainment industry, and occasionally spread to different places, as if he knew a little bit about everything.

Cheng Che listened to it, and found it very interesting. He didn't know these things before. Apart from those rigid chemical elements, his life was Luo Yao, who was as monotonous as an old black and white movie. Staying with him must be extremely exciting. dull.

Among the many topics, Bai Zhen talked the most about music, which is his most persistent pursuit.

Cheng Che suddenly remembered that Luo Yao also knew music. Luo Yao once learned the piano from the world's top pianists for a period of time, and he could also play the violin.They should have a common language.He remembered that Bai Zhen went abroad to study music a few years ago, and he went to the country where Luo Yao was. Later, they returned to China one after another in the same month. Luo Yao signed Bai Zhen to his company with high liquidated damages within a few days. , Paving the way for Baizhen.

Bai Zhen is really talkative and interesting. He is no longer the three-point shy boy who just entered the university, but he does not have the hypocrisy that has been soaked in glitz for a long time. charm.

Cheng Che thought that he would be embarrassed when facing Bai Zhen, but it turned out not at all. Bai Zhen's calmness made him unable to twitch, and it also made it difficult for him to say what he originally wanted to ask Bai Zhen, such as: Why did you start from? Take Luo Yao away from me?

Maybe there is no question of whether to grab or not, and Luo Yao is willing.

Everyone has the right to pursue better.

When Luo Yao came to question the child before, he always used the law to stab Luo Yao. In fact, why couldn't all of this work on him in reverse?Without marriage and without legal protection, Luo Yao can love whomever he wants if he does not respect human relations and morality.

"Senior?"

"Huh?" Cheng Che came back to his senses, seeing Bai Zhen's exquisite face.

"Are you interested in the strange amber I just mentioned? I have some in my collection. Let me give you a piece of amber some other day."

It was only then that Cheng Che remembered that they were talking about Amber just now, and finally talked about something he could use his best chemistry to talk about, but he lost his mind...

Cheng Che sighed inaudibly, but Bai Zhen saw it.

Bai Zhen came from an upper-middle-class family, with a good family education, gentle, courteous and versatile. Bai Zhen is not the kind of partner that Fang Jue said can't be taken away. The important thing is that Bai Zhen also loves Luo Yao.The only thing he had better than Miao Su back then happened to be that Bai Zhen also had it.

Cheng Che suddenly realized the fact that he was timid from the beginning to the end, otherwise he wouldn't have left in a panic with the duckling in his arms after seeing Luo Yao and Bai Zhen kissing, and hid for half a year.

But at this moment, he was even more timid than before, so timid that he flinched... Facing a person who was obviously better than him and more suitable for Luo Yao, how dare he say those embarrassing questions?Do you have to let others slap the embarrassing answer on his face?

Should I ask Luo Yao?I'm afraid it's also self-defeating.

After all, on the day Luo Yao tied him up, he questioned Luo Yao with Bai Zhen over and over again, and mentioned Bai Zhen clearly, but Luo Yao didn't answer this, and still did such things to him. Luo Yao's goal was very clear from the beginning , Luo Yao wanted the duckling, and Luo Yao wanted revenge on the "murderer" who "killed" the duckling.

It took all his courage to blurt out in a hurry that day, and he no longer dared to ask "why".

On the surface, he pretends to be noble, but in fact he looks down on himself in his heart.

It's just that Luo Yao accidentally walked into his life eight years ago, added luster to him, and then lifted him to a very high position, making him forget himself for a while.

Cheng Che lowered his eyes, stirring the porridge in the porcelain bowl with a spoon, frowning slightly, his eyes fell into the beige whirlpool.

Seeing Cheng Che's expression of admitting defeat, Bai Zhen heaved a sigh of relief, he probably won the bet soon...

"Thanks to my senior, I'm so happy to be able to eat these today." Bai Zhen licked his lips and said reluctantly, "I don't know when I will eat it later."

"You're welcome, if you like this place, he will bring..."

"Ok?"

"It's nothing..." Cheng Che shook his head.

A dinner didn't take too long, it started at 07:30 and ended at 08:30, and Bai Zhen had to go back to the company for business.

Bai Zhen dressed up again, wrapping himself up as tightly as when he came here.

Unexpectedly, not long after the two of them left the hotel, they were immediately surrounded by a large group of people, with occasional flashing lights, those people screamed Bai Zhen's name, and rushed towards Bai Zhen without hesitation.

Cheng Che, who had never seen such a situation before, realized that Bai Zhen was being chased and intercepted by fans.

"He's not Bai Zhen, you are mistaken!" Cheng Che shouted, but it was of no avail.

He underestimated the power of those crazily star-chasing fans. During the pushing and shoving, someone took off Bai Zhen's hat, and his sunglasses fell off, revealing Bai Zhen's unique peach blossom eyes in an instant.

"Ah!!! An angel!!!"

After confirming his identity, the fans immediately fell into a more fanatical state than before. Bai Zhen was the most obvious "siege" point. He kept covering his face to avoid the camera. Bai Zhen let him escape, but these fans are too sticky, no matter where they go, they can't get rid of them.

I don't know whose cell phone hit Bai Zhen's right ear, red marks instantly appeared on the tender skin, and the other old scar was also very clear, Bai Zhen's eyes were obviously painful.

"Are you OK?"

"It's okay..." Bai Zhen shook his head.

In desperation, Cheng Che winked at Bai Zhen, signaling him to leave first.

Bai Zhen looked hesitant and said: "Senior, then you have to be careful..."

Cheng Che nodded, and then suddenly shouted in the chaos: "Bai Zhen is there! Bai Zhen ran to the parking lot."

Just when everyone subconsciously stopped and looked towards the parking lot, Bai Zhen bent down and got out from the human wall.

Some fans realized that they had been cheated, and turned around to chase after Bai Zhen. Cheng Che, who was standing in the fan center, was bumped vigorously by many people, and his whole body was in pain, but he stood there motionless, not knowing how to hide.

He looked at tens of meters away, Luo Yao got out of the car, protected Bai Zhen's right ear when the fans rushed up, and put Bai Zhen firmly in the back of the car... until the car left, leaving Cheng Che moved his sore feet amidst a group of annoyed fans.

Cheng Che's leather shoes were dusty from being trampled on. He took a few steps forward, but each step hurt, probably because his toes were swollen. At the same time, he thought of Bai Zhen's ears.

Bai Zhen's ear was smashed just now, and the smash was not light. Judging by Luo Yao's actions, his heart must be broken.

In fact, Cheng Che was also worried, worried that there might be something wrong with Bai Zhen's ears.

Six years ago, when Cheng Che was in his junior year, the college basketball team and the college choir organized a social event. The two parties discussed going to a neighboring city to visit the ancient city, but an accident happened.The plaque at the old street entrance of the ancient city was loose. Cheng Che was standing under the plaque at that time. Luo Yao went to the store to buy water for everyone’s treat. When he turned around with the bag in hand, he saw the plaque smashed straight at Cheng Che’s head. Everyone was stunned at the time.Because the distance was too far, Luo Yao only had time to yell "Cheng Zi be careful". At the critical moment, Bai Zhen, who was standing one meter away from Cheng Che, instinctively threw Cheng Che to the ground. In the end, Cheng Che was safe and sound, but the plaque One corner hit Bai Zhen's right ear, and blood flowed profusely immediately.

The play plan was terminated, and the group went straight to the hospital. Fortunately, the Baizhen people were fine, except that the hearing in the right ear might be affected, and a scar was also left.

Due to his hearing loss, Baizhen liked to pinch his ears for a long time. Whether it was when talking to people or singing, even after he was cured, he still kept this habitual action until he became famous. The "Sign of an Angel".Cheng Che was very guilty, and Luo Yao was also very guilty, because it is no exaggeration to say that Bai Zhen traded Cheng Che's life for one ear.

For a person who loves music, the significance of ears to him is self-evident.

Cheng Che took out his phone, found Bai Zhen, and edited a message: Are your ears okay?

After the message was sent, there was no response for a long time. Cheng Che put the phone back in his pocket. Bai Zhen and Luo Yao were together, and probably didn't have time to look at the phone.

Cheng Che stuffed his hands into his trouser pockets and walked a few steps forward. The pain in his feet suddenly turned into a strong sour feeling that rushed up his nose.

Cheng Che took a deep breath, stood under the streetlight and looked up at the night sky, blinking vigorously.

Luo Yao drove back anxiously, and what he saw was this scene——Cheng Che looked up at him, his eyes were red, and the blood oozing from his left hand in his pocket had stained the cuff of his white shirt. Red, but its owner is unaware of staring at the sky.

If he didn't know that he was holding back his tears, Luo Yao would have thought that there was something strange in the sky.

Cheng Che stared at the stars in the sky for a long time, when suddenly, someone grabbed his left hand from his pocket.

Cheng Che hissed, and saw that the person next to him was Luo Yao, he frowned, and wanted to withdraw his hand, but Luo Yao grabbed him tightly.

"You're hurt, do you know that?" Luo Yao's eyes were full of distress, and he seemed very angry at Cheng Che's behavior of not caring about his body.

"Let go." Cheng Che's voice was still a little hoarse, but he really didn't know that his hand was scratched, and now it started to hurt.

"I'll take you to the hospital to treat the wound. It looks like you may need a tetanus."

Luo Yao grabbed Cheng Che's other wrist and pulled him towards his car.Cheng Che was caught off guard by Luo Yaola who staggered a few steps, and then began to push back.

"You don't need to take me there, I'll go to the hospital by myself!"

Luo Yao didn't believe Cheng Che's words at all. Cheng Che was obviously in a daze, and he didn't even notice the wound. He had to see Cheng Che get healed with his own eyes.

"Luo Yao, let go." Cheng Che directly broke Luo Yao's fingers with his hands.

Cheng Che's stubborn refusal reminded Luo Yao of his submissive attitude towards Yan Lang and the gentle appearance downstairs in the apartment that day.Luo Yao's heart burst into flames, and he released a deterrent pheromone to Cheng Che.

The marked Omega smelled its own Alpha mint-flavored pheromone, and its legs went limp. How could it have any strength to resist?

This is obedience written into the genes, Cheng Che couldn't resist, he could only stare at Luo Yao angrily, didn't Luo Yao escort Bai Zhen away?How could it still appear here.

Many people around were already looking at them, Cheng Che was uncomfortable, but he couldn't escape Luo Yao's restraint.

Luo Yao sensed Cheng Che's fear of the stranger's eyes, he took off his tie, wrapped it around Cheng Che's bleeding wound several times, then involuntarily carried Cheng Che on his shoulder, and threw him into the car in two steps.

Cheng Che was so dizzy from the fall, he sat up with difficulty, and the car was already on its way.
