Reborn As the Ex-wife of the Paranoid Male Lead

Liu Heng was still rumbling: "Speaking of which, I'm really sorry about last time, you, the class representative and the whole internet café thing. I’ve not been a good buddy. I've always wanted to invite the two of you to a meal, but you know Shen Cheng is a cold person. I dare not ask, you say..."

Jian Shiwu fiercely put away the test paper, he looked at Liu Heng, his momentum changed: "Go."

Liu Heng widened his eyes: "Where are we you going?"

"It's time for you to repay the favour!"

"..."

At night, the sky in Cangyun City is dotted with stars. In this era, wireless network is not popular. The TVs at home rely on the cauldron to watch news broadcasts. People bring their own small benches, or stand in front of the supermarket to watch a movie.


At 9 p.m, Shen Cheng walked out of the restaurant and headed home.

There are few people in the alley at night, and the sound of crickets could be heard from time to time. He is walking on the road with a black shoulderbag on his back, and his pace is calm. On both sides of the trail, there are several men in black leather jackets smoking cigarettes, waiting with an unpleasant expression.

Shen Cheng glanced at them lightly and continued to walk forward.

The leading middle-aged man said, "You are Gao Can's son, right?"

Shen Cheng paused in his footsteps, tilted his face to look at them. The five middle-aged men were taller than the teenager and much stronger than him, but Shen Cheng just stood there calmly, without even a touch of fear.

"Tsk, not bad."

The middle-aged man walked over slowly with a cigarette in his mouth, raising his eyebrows: "Do you know why we are looking for you?"

A few men next to him also gathered around and started opening their mouths saying:

"Do you know that your mother owes us money?"

"She said you have money."

"Little brother, we don't want to embarrass you, just take out the money and we'll go."

Shen Cheng said quietly, "I have no money."

The leading middle-aged man scolded: "Stop talking nonsense, where did you get your tuition if you don’t make money?"

Shen Cheng didn't speak, turned his head and walked to the other side. The others seemed to have sensed his intention and started to surround him forming a circle.

"Little brother, if we don't out the take the money, don’t blame us for not being polite."

"Is it in the bag?"

"Bring it to me to see..."

Someone reached out and wanted to take Shen Cheng's bag, Shen Cheng's dark eyes were stared at the hand reaching out over his shoulder, and the fist that was ready to go was slowly tightened. Anyone who knew a little bit would be able to see that Shen Cheng’s defensive posture is very professional. If the opponent really reaches out so unguardedly, he will definitely be hit with a single blow.

"Class president!"

A shout came from the end of the trail.

Jian Shiwu came running like a gust of wind with his schoolbag on his back. He hurried over and rammed straight into the man who had stretched out his hand towards Shen Cheng. Like a cannonball, relying on his weight and speed, he knocked people away. The big brother smoking behind him also never expected outside intervation and that he was caught in by surprise and fell to the ground.

"Ouch..."

There scene was a mess, they did not know where this little fatty came from.

Jian Shiwu got up from the ground, turned around to speak quickly to Shen Cheng: "I have already called the police, the police car has come, don't be afraid of them!"

The leading elder brother cursed angrily: "Ah, little bastard, believe it or not... ah!"

Jian Shiwu kept smashing the schoolbag in his arms on his face, super fierce: "You say it again, you can say it again..."

As he was beating the older man, the faint sound of a police car could be heard not far away. In the night, one could see traffic lights flashing under the shadow of a tree not far away. Slowly, as the sound of a police car came closer.

The other men were also a little panicked: "Second uncle, it really sounds like a police car."

The leader was also only entrusted this job by others. In fact, he didn't want to really go to the station. He stumbled to his feet and looked at Jian Shiwu with hatred. In a flash, Shen Cheng guessed the other’s thoughts and stretched out his hand to pull Jian Shiwu to his side, dodging the slap of the angry man.

Jian Shiwu slammed into Shen Cheng's arms and hugged his waist.

The sound of a group of men cursing and running away floated to his ears, and the faint scent of soap that Shen Cheng used teased his nostrils, fresh and nice, and the scent was the yoke of memory, as if taking him back to the days before Shen Cheng became a man of power but just a carefree young man.

As he was still thinking, Shen Cheng's voice came from above his head: "If you don’t let go, it will be me that will do so."

. . ! !

He was too excited and he stumbled on the steps behind and almost lost his balance. Fortunately, there was a street lamp next to him to lean on to survive. He patted his chest in fear, complaining.

Shen Cheng bent down and picked up the schoolbag on the ground: "Why are you here?"

Jian Shiwu took the schoolbag: "I came with Liu Heng."

Not far away, Liu Heng ran over with rugged breaths, holding an electric stick in his hand, flashing red and blue at night, he said, "Are you guys alright?"

Shen Cheng looked at the mobile phone in Liu Heng's hand, the player inside was the source of the police car just now.

Jian Shiwu smiled naively: "I’m fine. How can something happen to me."

Liu Heng panted heavily and leaned against the street lamp, losing his strength: "Really, it scared me to death, I'm scared to death, you know. Aishh..if I had known that I was doing this thing, I wouldn't dare to have come to kill myself."

Shen Cheng frowned slightly, and he looked at Jian Shiwu: "How did you two know I was here?"

"Wow, we just saved your life, you don’t have to be grateful, but why do you have to even start an interrogation?" Jian Shiwu hugged his schoolbag and jokingly livened up the atmosphere: "We happened to pass by to do justice."

Liu Heng also echoed: "If it weren't for us, you would be in danger now."

The pale light of the street lamps scattered, Shen Cheng's back was stretched out, his usual cold face softened for a moment, but soon it was the same dead face, cold and full of alienation, his voice chilly: "So you don't even have a brain?"

Jian Shiwu and Liu Heng froze.

"It's a fluke that they believed it today, what if they didn't?" This is the first time that Shen Cheng is no longer indifferent to them, but with aggressive anger: "Have you thought about how serious the consequences will be?"

Shen Cheng, who was out of control and angry, but he quickly regained his composure. He packed his schoolbag and said solemnly: "I will repay the favour I owe you."

After saying that, Shen Cheng turned around and walked into the alley, which was his way home.

Jian Shiwu was the first to react: "They may still be waiting ahead, this road is very dangerous now, you..."

Shen Cheng stopped in his footsteps, and Jian Shiwu's unfinished words inexplicably stuck.


After a while, Shen Cheng turned around, the ground on which he was standing was not illuminated by the light of the street lamps, Jian Shiwu and Liu Heng stood in the light, he stood there alone, with the endless darkness behind him, as if it could swallow people with it’s mouth wide open, he said: "You know the danger, why don't you go back quickly?"

Jian Shiwu was dumbfounded.

Liu Heng said: "What are you going do when we leave, you can't go back either..."

Standing in the half-dark darkness, Shen Cheng raised a sarcastic smile: "Where can I go then?"

The two good students under the streetlights looked at each other and fell into silence. For them, the front is indeed very dangerous, dilapidated and shabby, but for Shen Cheng, it is the way home. They have a choice, but Shen Cheng has no choice.

For a moment, Jian Shiwu understood Shen Cheng's thoughts. He was not really ruthless. On the contrary, he was worried that those people would hurt him and Liu Heng, and he couldn't go with him because it would affect them.

What to do

Do we really have to leave Shen Cheng alone?

There was a faint pain in his head again, and Jian Shiwu was so anxious that his heart and lungs were burning with anxiety.

"Drop."

A car light flashed in the distance, a car stopped near them, and Zhen Meili got out the car.

The woman came over when she saw her son: "Jian Shiwu!"

Jian Shiwu’s body jolted: "Mom?"

"You sent an unknown location message asking me to come here to pick you up. But you don’t even know where you’ve gone. What time is it, you don't want to live, you..."

Zhen Meili stopped when she saw Shen Cheng's face in the middle of her scolding. The woman stood there in a daze, unable to say a word.

Jian Shiwu was suspicious: "Mom?"

Zhen Meili: "This... this is?"

"Shen Cheng." Liu Heng introduced: "This is the math class representative of our class, first in our year."

Shen Cheng, who was fierce to the two of them, but was very respectful when facing the elders. Shen Cheng nodded lightly and bowed slightly: "Hello auntie."

The light was dim, and the young man bent over for a moment, his face like a jade, and at that moment, it seemed to overlap with the peerless face in Zhen Meili's memory. Her figure swayed for a moment, eyes almost tearing up. Only when Shen Cheng stood up did she regain her senses.

So similar

How could it be so similar?

It was rare for her to lose her composure, and now that she regained her senses, not to mention her positive attitude: "Shen Cheng, right? Auntie remembers you, aren’t you still teaching our son questions, right? It's a good boy, I've always wanted to get to know you. Just so, the ribs are stewed at home, can you and Liu Heng come over?"

At this moment, Jane Shiwu felt that his mother was really amazing.

Shen Cheng said, "No need, thank you..."

Jian Shiwu and Liu Heng looked at each other, and the two understood each other's thoughts.

Liu Heng rushed over and hugged Shen Cheng first and said, "Don’t be polite, auntie's craftsmanship is good, come on! I haven't been to the house in a long time, auntie, can I sleep at your house today?"

Jian Shiwu hesitated for a while, but thinking of the ferocious group of people just now, and remembering how Shen Cheng ended up ostracized at school in his previous life, he gritted his teeth and rushed over to hold Shen Cheng: "Let's go, let's go, oops, I'm already hungry, I told you that my mother's braised pork ribs is delicious, and you will definitely like it."

Perhaps, he really should stay away from Shen Cheng, but here he was, he rescued Shen Cheng from the hands of that group of people, this was a very impulsive decision, maybe he shouldn't have done it, he is impulsive and has a not very smart little cannon fodder brain, never knowing what is the right thing to do.

But today, at this moment, he thought, he has to pull it at Shen Cheng’s strings, no matter what the outcome is.
