Reborn As the Ex-wife of the Paranoid Male Lead

They knew that Shen Cheng was a very mysterious person, seemingly gentle and approachable, even when he was smiling at you, perhaps what was hidden under his warm eyes was a clear idea of what to do with you.

They are curious to know if such a person would have someone he likes.

Shen Cheng has excellent grades, a handsome appearance and strong strength, both in his family and in himself.

But no one has ever succeeded, and in the midst of all the ambiguity, Shen Cheng lives like a monk who has no desire to practice, so slowly, some people wonder if he has someone in mind, but if so, who could it be, after all, they haven't seen Shen Cheng give anyone special treatment in the past few years!

Annie, in particular, asked again, rather eagerly, "Shen, do you have someone you like?"



There was also a crowd of uproarious people around them.

"Tell us about it?"

"Is it one of us?"

"Does boss have a favorite type?"

In the chaos of the crowd, Shen Cheng sat lazily, frowning at the noise: "Quiet."

The room fell silent for a moment.

No one would take his words lightly, and if someone did, it must be because it’s their first day meeting Shen Cheng and they didn't know what was important.

Shen Cheng waved his hand, "I'm skipping this round, so I'll lose."

What?

The crowd was shocked.

After knowing each other for so long, this could already be considered a new thing, the more he covered it up, the more problematic it was.

Shen Cheng sat on the sofa with one hand propped up on his chin and inquired, "What about the punishment, what was set."

Qiao An clapped his hands and was the quickest to respond, "Ah, what was the punishment set?"

No one else dared to say what the punishment was.

"How about forgetting it?"

"Hahahaha, or change it to a dare."

"Yes, yes, let's change it."

That said, no one took the initiative to start proposing what the dare would be, after all, just with this man's sinister and vengeful character, you never know when you might fall foul of him, and no one was willing to offend Shen Cheng.

Shen Cheng's face was a gentle one, seemingly well-spoken and not disgruntled, and he only looked graceful as he spread his hands, "Let's begin, who first?"

The crowd was at a standstill.



But Annie did not give up. She was sure that Shen Cheng would not go back on his word and offered herself, "How about the punishment is that you spend the day with me tomorrow?"

The boy sitting on the sofa had a cold face, and in the dim light of the box, the cold lines of his face were even more attractive. He was wearing a simple white shirt, and because of the heat, the collar was a bit loose.

Shen Cheng raised his eyebrows: "A date with you?"

Annie nodded her head.

"That is indeed a punishment." Shen Cheng smiled.

“......”

The corners of Annie's mouth twitched, she was actually considered a famous lady, but for some reason, she was always short in front of Shen Cheng.

"Creak."

The door made a little sound due to inertia, attracting the crowd inside the box to look towards the door.

Someone turned on the light at the door and it became a little brighter and they could finally get a good look at the two people standing at the doorway, they didn't know how long they had been standing and how much they had seen, one of the teenagers was very beautiful, but for some reason he kept staring at the boss and had a somewhat hurt expression.

Qian An exclaimed, "This isn't this the boy at the school during the day ......"

Annie, however, did not care if there was anyone at the door, she just came closer to Shen Cheng and intimately hooked her arm to pamper her: "Promise me?"

Shen Cheng did not pay attention to her, but his gaze straightened towards the door, and when he saw who was standing at the door, his body stiffened imperceptibly, and subconsciously shook off the girl's arm that was holding him.

When he looked up again, he saw the look of surprise, but also a little panic on the face of Jian Shiwu, the years have not left many traces on Jian Shiwu, the mind can still be read at a glance.

Fear?

The corner of Shen Cheng's mouth curled up in a cold smile, didn't he already know that, that day in the corridor, when he saw Jian Shiwu looking at him with a gaze full of resistance and panic, he understood that they were not destined to go all the way.

Jian Shiwu's eyes stung for a small moment as he looked at the way Shen Cheng and the blonde girl were approaching, and he lowered his head, "Sorry, I went the wrong way."

Lui Heng was suspicious: "Hey, isnt that......"

Jian kept his face down, as if he didn't want to lift it up, he pulled his friend out, "We're leaving, you guys carry on."

The pace of departure was halted by the man behind him, "Stop."

Jian Shiwu stopped abruptly in his tracks.

The man who had been sitting on the sofa without moving stood up, he shook off the girl and walked towards Jian Shiwu with big steps, step by step, unwaveringly, until he stopped in front of the boy, yet Jian Shiwu was still unwilling to look up to see him, just lowering her head, like a little quail.

Shen Cheng narrowed his eyes and spoke in a low voice, "What's wrong with your face?"

What?

Jian Shiwu froze and touched his face as an afterthought, feeling the wound from the daytime fall, thinking it might have broken his face, which shouldn't be very pretty now, he stammered, "Nothing, from a fall."

"A fall?"

What kind of person is Shen Cheng, how can he not see whether Jian Shiwu was lying or not. But if it was not a fall then what was the reason, could it be that someone was bullying him? When he thought of this possibility, Shen Cheng's dark eyes slowly gathered cold ice, his breath also became dangerous: "What kind of fall can make your face like this?"

Jian Shiwu's naive nature: "First this, then that..."

Shen Cheng raised his hand to touch it: "Is it medicated?"

Lui Heng however, bravely stood up and did not allow the boy to be touched: "When did you come back, class representative? Why haven't you contacted us in the past few years, if we hadn't bumped into each other here, we wouldn't have known you had returned to China?"

Shen Cheng's hand reached out in mid-air and then dropped, the two teenagers in front of him were looking at him waiting for an answer, he spoke: "I just came back recently."

Jian Shiwu looked at him, he hadn't seen him for a few years, his appearance was slowly overlapping with his previous life, that's why his mind was spinning at first sight, his heart was unprepared to see an old friend, a completely different person from junior high school, the same as his previous life, for a moment his scalp was tingling.

But just now when Shen Cheng was concerned about him, that somewhat warm and worried gaze, again let Jian Shiwu feel that the person in front of him was separated from his previous life, he was still his class representative.

The teen was a bit bolder and he questioned like a little wife, "Then why didn't you answer the phone these two years? Not even a letter?"

Shen Cheng's eyes darkened: "You've called me?"

The momentum inexplicably weakened: "Because you left without saying goodbye everyone was worried, as a friend I also wanted to care a little."

Shen Cheng leaned against the hotel's gorgeous cold wall, the teenager's voice was lazy with a bit of magnetism: "Not sure if I'll be back, changed my card."

Others could say, but why would you ask the same thing? Hadn't he gone to say goodbye to him that day? It was clear that he was the one who said he didn't want to see him, that he was the one who was avoiding him like a snake.

Jian Shiwu hesitated a little, but only for a moment, he still helped himself to find a reason for Shen Cheng: "Changed the card and then accidentally lost our phone numbers?"

The malice in Shen Cheng's heart rose, he wanted to say no, I just don't want to answer your phone, but when he looked up he met a pair of eyes with some hope, he was standing in the warm yellow light, as pure as ever, a long time ago Shen Cheng realized that time and years can not use suffering to leave marks on Jiane Shiwu's body, this person seems to always look towards the light, clear and pure.

Faced with such a Jian Shiwu, Shen Cheng inexplicably evaded.

In fact, he had long since ceased to be the young man that Jian Shiwu had thought he was, but for no apparent reason, he did not want to see the person in front of him show a disappointed gaze at him.

So, Shen Cheng nodded gently, "Mm."

Jian Shiwu looked at him, then hooked Lui Heng’s neck and spread a smile, "See, I told you, it should be that he didn’t see the phone calls."

He said, "Don't strangle me, I can't breathe."

Jian was half leaning against him, laughing and joking.

Shen Cheng looked at them in silence, the light spilling down, as if dividing the people into two worlds, one bright and vivid, the other dim and quiet.

"Hey, 15ah, Tiezi and Erdog have been found!"

Someone's shout came from the opposite box.

Jian Shiwu and Lui Heng looked up, both a little excited, and Lui said, "It would be bad if they were still drunk, we have to go back and check."

Since they were busy going back, Lui Heng said to Shen Cheng, "Is the class rep still living over at the Ji family's old mansion, if so, we'll come over and visit you in a couple of days."

Jian Shiwu was pulled along and also nodded gently.

Shen Cheng watched as they walked further and further away from each other, not seeing each other for a few years, the people around them and their social circle had changed in waves, he no longer knew their friends, completely living as people of two worlds.

The others in the box came out.

Qiao An was the first to walk up to Shen Cheng's side: "So you guys know each other, why didn't you say anything during the day then?"

Annie, on the other hand, was a little uneasy, girls are very sensitive, she could obviously sense that Shen Cheng was different to that teenager, her natural sense of crisis made her ask: "Who is that person, is he important?"

Shen Cheng ignored her, his eyes still tracing the fading figure, his eyes deep.

The others came together.

"He’s Chinese."

"So you have friends in China too?"

"You seem to be on good terms, why don't you introduce us to them?"

They stood next to Shen Cheng and asked, but he didn't answer, just watched the young man's back as he left.

After they had all returned to their boxes, Shen Cheng withdrew his gaze, he swept a glance at the chattering group and said in a light voice: "There is nothing to know."

The room was quiet for a moment.

They were all intelligent people and naturally sensed the unusual nature of Shen Cheng and the boy, but they had come together more because of their family's interests and the freedom to be uninhibited, in fact they were not very interested in other people's private lives, and if the price of getting to the bottom of it was to offend Shen Cheng, it was a little uneconomical.

Qiao An was the first to react and said, "In Chinese terms, if there is a destiny, we will come to meet each other, maybe we will have the chance to meet him later. For now, let’s go back and continue to play.”

The others, who were afraid of Shen Cheng after all, all echoed.

"Of course."

"Keep playing."

"I'll go first this game."

Only Shen Cheng sat on the sofa, he seemed to have regained his old calm and self-possession, his slender hands playing with the well-made electronic products, dismantling and reconstructing them, reconstructing and then destroying them with his own hands, such a process of absolute control allowed him to calm down, those who were familiar with Shen Cheng knew that once he was in a bad mood, he would repeat this process over and over again.

Qiao An came down from the game board, walked over to Shen Cheng and patted him, "What's wrong with you?"

Shen Cheng: "Nothing."

Qiao An was also very smart as he brought a cup of fruit wine and handed it to Shen Cheng: "How long are we going to stay this time?"

Shen Cheng moved a little and lifted his eyes to look at him, "Want to go back?"

Qiao An showed a big grin: "I'm following you out, they're going back in a few days, but my dad's plan is for me to study here as an exchange student for half a year, you know my family's situation is very complicated now, it's a good choice to have a break in China. Of course, if it's me I definitely don't want to stay here, if you go back. I'm also going to go with you in a couple of days."

Shen Cheng paused and finally tossed the toy aside, he took the cold fruit wine and drank it down in one go, raising an eyebrow and asking him in return, "When did I say I was going back?"

Seeing his unusual appearance today, Qiao An finally couldn't help himself, "Since we're not going back, will we be in the same school as those two outside?"

Shen Cheng narrowed his eyes at him.

Qiao An, who was frantically trying at the edge of life and death, smiled, "Honestly, I feel such a bond with him, and to think that if we could meet again, maybe he would have a good feeling about me too."

Shen Cheng put his glass down and said slowly, "I advise you to dismiss that idea before it's too late."

Qiao An held his glass of wine and became very puzzled, "Why?"

"Because ......"

Shen Cheng's tone was light, but there was a sense of justification: "If he didn't like me, he would be even less likely to look at you."
