Reborn As the Ex-wife of the Paranoid Male Lead

Shen Cheng saw two candles in Jian Shiwu's chubby white hands, not only white, but also the kind of candles that were a bit thick, which were used for light.

He was worried that Shen Cheng might not like it, but the boy asked, "Are you going to put them in the noodles?"

What?

Jian's hand trembled slightly as he held the candle.

He looked down at the noodles on the table and actually choked up a little, he hadn't thought about it that much when he brought them over, but now ......

This time he made a little bit of a mess of things.

Under the light, Shen Cheng's eyes seemed to be smiling: "And then put a picture behind the bowl?"

Jian Shiwu froze for a moment and laughed out loud.

Although a little disappointed he still put the candles away, "Then let's not blow it."

Seeing his disappointed look, Shen Cheng took the candles anyway: "Put them in your hands and I’ll light it, bring the lighter."

Jian Shiwu was happy, there was a bright smile in his eyes, he took out the lighter from his pocket, "It's ready!"

It was a very bizarre candle-blowing ceremony, but eventually, thanks to the efforts of the two teenagers, the faint yellow candle light slowly lit up in the room, it was Shen Cheng's first real birthday in 14 years, and on this day, two white candles were lit up in a room in a shabby little hotel.

Jian Shiwu sat in front of the table, his chubby face full of expectation, and he said, "Make a wish."

Shen Cheng sat at the table, his black eyes quietly staring at the candle flame, the teenager did not have many words, he was silent for a long time before blowing out the candles.

He sat beside him and asked curiously, "What did you wish for?"

"Can you make it come true for me?"

"Huh?" Jian Shiwu scratched his head: "Not necessarily."

Shen Cheng withdrew his gaze, "Then it's useless for you to ask."

"......"

Jian Shiwu was speechless.

But hanging out with Shen Cheng, he now used to such things, he changed the subject, "You should eat the noodles quickly, it won't taste good once it gets lumpy."

Shen Cheng nodded and brought the noodle bowl over to eat the noodles.

The hands on the wall ticked, it was now a bit late and the rain outside had gradually stopped, he was eating the noodles and Jian Shiwu just watched quietly, even with some anticipation, "Is it good?”

Shen Cheng put down his chopsticks and didn't answer, instead he asked him, "You didn't eat anything?"

All along he thought Jian Shiwu had eaten as he was downstairs all afternoon.

He thought that Jian had eaten, but he was blushing a little, "I forgot I was hungry when I was busy.

Shen Cheng asked him, "Is there any more in the pot?"

Jian Shiwu originally wanted to say that there was still some left, but he didn't know if Ji Beichuan had eaten it or not.

In fact, he really hated Ji Beichuan, he was so bad-mouthed and poisonous, and he was always fighting against him all day long, which was particularly annoying.

But when he looked at the noodles with such eagerness, there seemed to be a moment when he saw himself.

In his previous life he was also a very annoying child, right? Many people also hated him so much, and in the end he lost a lot, he vaguely knew he was wrong, he wanted to be forgiven and redeemed.

Just like when he saw Ji Beichuan at the table, he also wanted to get some people's kindness, but unfortunately in the end, when his family was broken, like his was when he drove into the rain, he didn't get any either.

Jian Shiwu's voice was somewhat astringent with loss: "There should be no more in the pot."

Shen Cheng looked up at the clock hanging on the wall, "The boss's wife should be resting at this hour."

"It's fine." Jian Shiwu propped his chin up with one hand, his big round eyes looking at him, the chubby little face fair-skinned, he moved closer: "I'll count it as losing weight, in fact I think I seem to have lost a bit of weight recently, do you see?"

They were very close together.

Jian Shiwu’s body carried a faint smell of milk, his breath was not heavy, but when it fell it made Shen Cheng's body tense up.

Shen Cheng said, "I don't think so."

?

Jian Shiwu bristled and sat back down.

Shen Cheng did not continue to eat the noodles, but stood up and found a box of instant noodles in a bucket from a drawer cabinet not far away, he unpacked the bucket and took the noodle cake out of it, then evened out half of the noodles in the bowl in the bucket and distributed it to Jian Shiwu: "Eat it."

Jian Shiwu was shocked, "This is your longevity noodles how can I eat it."

Shen Cheng still had half a bowl of noodles in his hand, he picked up his chopsticks and took a bite: "Am I not eating?"

"Eating."

"Then what's the problem?"

"......"

Kind of makes sense.

In fact he wasn't really shocked by this, he was surprised that Shen Cheng would share the noodles with him, would think of ways to find food for him because he was hungry, would help him write his outline because he couldn't do the questions.

In his previous life, his relationship with Shen Cheng was almost at freezing point, not to mention being hungry, probably dying in front of him, Shen Cheng wouldn't frown, the extent to which this man was cold hearted made him get a little chill down his spine when he remembered.

But he's always longing. Like the little moss in the corner who wants to see the sun, the clumsy little pig who wants to go for a run in the wide world, the dusty outdated toy on the shelf who wants to be gently stroked by its owner. Because they can't have it, they do a lot of silly things.

Jian Shiwu picked up his fork, hung his head low and whispered, "I'll eat it then, bah."

Shen Cheng gave him a fried egg, the teenager's voice was certain and it gave him too much stability: "It's for you, eat it."

Jian Shiwu paused and smiled softly as he looked down.

......

The next day



Gao Can's leg injury had reached the standard of being able to walk, and the police arrived.

The evidence in this case was so overwhelming that it was much less difficult to handle, and when the police came, almost everyone was in the hospital, including Ji Beichuan.

Perhaps because she had expected such an ending, Gao Can did not have much surprise or reaction, except that when the police were about to take her away by clasping her bracelet on, she said, "Comrade police, I want to talk to my son for a few minutes, just for a minute."

The policeman looked back.

Ji Beichuan stood in the doorway and looked at Gao Can evenly from a distance, he actually really hated Gao Can before, but when it came down to it, knowing that Gao Can was going in, he actually wasn't that repulsed, he said to the policeman, "Uncle, it'll be quick."

Only then did the policeman leave the room, turning back and barking out another warning, "Hurry up."

The door closed, before a silence fell over the room.

Ji Beichuan looked at her with some resistance, "What do you want to say?"

Gao Can had already changed into her prison uniform, her face was haggard but much calmer, "Mom just wants to tell you to stay with the Ji family if possible and not go back."

Ji Beichuan's face clouded over.

If it wasn't for this woman, if she hadn't refused to leave the city then how would he have been poked and prodded?

Gao Can looked up at him, "No matter what method you use, ask Mr. Ji, beg the people of the Ji family, make sure you are taken in and let you stay!"

Ji Beichuan gritted his teeth, "Do you think Shen Cheng can tolerate me? I don't stand a chance!"

Gao Chan's eyes flickered slightly, a trace of gloom crossed her eyes, probably because she was about to go into the bureau, and she was not afraid anymore, standing up and slowly walking towards Ji Beichuan, all over her body seemed to carry a little compelling sense of pressure, finally bending down in front of the boy and lowering her voice: "Chances are created by yourself and grasped by yourself."

Ji Beichuan's body shook.

Gao Can smiled as she patted Ji Beichuan's shoulder: "He's not the same as before, he has a weakness."

Ji Beichuan subconsciously: "What weakness?"

Gao Can walked towards the door, pausing briefly at the doorknob, and replied, "When you care about something, it will become a weakness."

?

Before Ji Beichuan could digest it, Gao Can was already out the door, outside were the police waiting, they took her away, leaving only Shen Dashan waiting in the corridor.

According to the law, Shen Dashan was an accessory to the crime and should also be sentenced, but he was disabled, plus he had a minor to support, so he applied for a suspended sentence.

There were many people standing in the corridor, and Ji Yuansheng was also there.

Shen Dashan, hunched over, walked to Ji Beichuan's side and bowed to Ji Yansheng and even to Shen Cheng who was next to him, he said, "Sorry for all this time, I'll take Beichuan back now."

Ji Yuansheng nodded, "Go well.”

Ji Beichuan didn't want to go, the rough clothes on Shen Dashan were in stark contrast to the worthy suit on Ji Yuansheng, the aura of the Ji family had always been an honour he was proud of, now once he had left with the dusty Shen Dashan and really said goodbye to Ji Yuansheng, he felt as if he was really saying goodbye to his old life.

Ji Beichuan refused to move his steps and looked at Ji Yuansheng: "Father ......"

Ji Yuansheng frowned, subconsciously glanced at Shen Cheng at his side, during this period of time he really completely understood the words of Zhen Mei and Jian Shiwu, because Gao Can's leg did not heal, Shen Dashan has been in the hospital to take care of her, Ji Beichuan has been in the Ji family and did not move away.

During this period, no matter how many times he spoke to him, it was useless. Shen Cheng was not willing to care about him, nor was he willing to go home and be with Ji Beichuan under the same roof. That day on the mountain it was easy to say a few words, but because of Ji Beichuan, he was knocked back to square one, which made him feel the greatest frustration in more than ten years.

He wanted to be close to Shen Cheng, but it seemed that as long as Ji Beichuan was around, Shen Cheng would not be close to him. So today, when Gao Can left and Ji Beichuan could go home with Shen Dashan, Ji Yuan Sheng picked up Shen Cheng to give him a ride, and wanted to take this opportunity to take him home, and to show his attitude like his son.

Ji Yansheng said, "No need to call me father anymore, your father is next to you.

Ji Beichuan lowered his head somewhat aggressively, he was deliberately dragging his feet and walked slowly towards the outside, finally waiting at the corner for two elderly who had arrived in some haste, dressed in all their wealth and also with an urgent look on their faces, especially the old lady, who was in a murderous mood.

She came running after seeing Ji Beichuan: "Beichuan!"

Ji Beichuan revealed a joyful look, "Grandma."

Old Madam Ji held the child and looked at Shen Dashan next to her with a disgusted look on her face, "You are Shen Dashan?"

Shen Dashan did not know the situation, but still nodded his head.

Old Mrs. Ji's disgust was obvious as she looked towards Ji Yansheng and instantly saw Shen Cheng, she also froze for a moment when she first saw him, her heart was somewhat stirred with shock. She was not expecting this child to look so much like Shen Youting! The thought of that woman also displeased her, and she had little love for Shen Cheng.

The old lady said angrily to Ji Yuansheng, "Didn't I tell you, isn't it good to let Beichuan stay at home as an adopted son, is the family short of a mouthful of food for him, and you have to send him back to such a family to take care of him?"

Ji Yuansheng looked up at the bodyguard in the stairwell and frowned gently.

The bodyguard bowed his head in shame, the president had instructed not to let the old woman come from the lift today, not to let her appear in front of Shen Cheng, they didn't even think she could climb up from the stairwell!

Ji Yuansheng's face was expressionless: "This is something that has already been decided."

The old lady was gasping for breath, she felt Ji Beichuan trembling in her arms, a little distressed, and looked at Shen Cheng next to her with an unkind gaze, "If you don't want Beichuan as your son, I won't recognise him as my grandson either, I am Beichuan's grandmother, not his."

The decisive words came out very unpleasant and hurtful.

The new family was already showing a great deal of unkindness even before they had integrated.

Ji Yuansheng frowned, by this point he was also already a little upset, today he came to pick up his son to go home with him, now because that unfavorable bodyguard let his own mother come to give the child a hard time. With some worry glanced down at Shen Cheng, afraid that he would be sad and upset.

However

What surprised Ji Yuansheng a little was that Shen Cheng looked at Old Lady Ji indifferently and spoke after her harsh words, "This lady, I think you have made a mistake about something."

Old Lady Ji looked at him incredulously.

Shen Cheng's clear, cold face, the look that he didn't put her in his eyes the slightest bit, seemed to be the same as the disdainful expression that woman looked at her with years ago.

Even as the corners of the teenager's mouth curled up into an extremely almost sarcastic smile and he raised his eyebrows, "Did I say that I wanted to be acknowledged by you?"
