Thank you to @Narrowedeyes for the Ko-fi!!

Jing Yicheng nodded and admitted: “Yes.”

Xu Chenghao was stunned.

What the hell is going on here? Why does the villain who has loved the female lead all his life in the plot suddenly give up on her and show no attachment?

This news is simply more shocking than the male lead wanting to attack the Xu Group. Xu Chenghao realized that the plot had utterly lost control and finally remembered that he still had a book system and hurriedly asked in his heart what was going on.

System No. 2333 will be launched soon [Ding – Since the host’s strategy is the third option, a certain degree of change in the plot is inevitable, please calm down and don’t panic. 】

Xu Chenghao: But the plot has not just changed beyond a certain extent! It is a complete mess!

[Ding – no, the host must remember that our principle is that the origin of the plot remains unchanged. Even if everything changes in the end, no matter what happens in between, in the end, the male and female leads must be together; this is a certain degree of change. 】

Xu Chenghao: …

It really doesn’t sound reliable.

Or another interpretation is that the most important thing is that the male protagonist and the female protagonist are together, and the passerby is not important at all – for instance, his spare tire role and the villain, a madman.

At this time, Xu Chenghao finally discovered the giant hidden pit in the options. The angry heart and liver pain plot seems the most oppressive. But in fact, it is the easiest road to follow as long as you can avoid damage.

The chrysanthemum pain option is to have the opportunity to be tied to the same boat with the villain, which is equivalent to having a strong and effective cheating plug-in. At least it is guaranteed that you’re not fighting alone.

As for the final face pain plot, it seems to be the simplest. In fact, it is tough for the person in the vortex of the plot to abandon all distractions and plant crops seriously!

For example, he now has no halo, no golden finger, three, can’t escape the plot, four, and may be the enemy from both sides – he was more than the word miserable.

So he can only accept the villain’s olive branch and take advantage of the situation to bind with him and then fight against the male lead?

Xu Chenghao’s brain started to run fast. Because he was so focused, he even forgot someone was next to him. It wasn’t until Jing Yicheng coughed a few times that he returned to his senses: “Sorry, got lost in thought.”

Jing Yicheng has been quietly observing his reaction; his eyes scrutinized slightly: “You seem very surprised?”

Xu Chenghao: “I’m not surprised, I’m in disbelief.”

Jing Yicheng: “I can understand.”

Xu Chenghao was surprised by the other party’s understanding and only understood what he meant when he raised his head and met the other party’s eyes.

The two of them were all making a fuss about An Rouyu at the beginning; how could they have thought that one day they would actually say ‘I gave up too’ face to face? Just as no one believed that Xu Chenghao, who had been with An Ruoyu for 20 years, suddenly turned his face, now naturally, no one would believe that the crazy and paranoid person would suddenly look away.

They are really surprisingly similar and even have an excellent relationship of knowing each other’s situation and thoughts.

But unfortunately, Xu Chenghao didn’t intend to sympathize with a lunatic but quickly skipped the emotional part and forcibly changed the subject: “You just said that Ruan Chenxuan wanted to attack the Xu Group?”

Jing Yicheng: “From what I’ve got so far, it’s like this, aren’t you guys going to cooperate with the Jiang group recently? Guess what Ruan Chenxuan wants to do tonight?”

Interception! Xu Chenghao instantly reacted, and his expression changed slightly.

Because the Xu family and the Jiang family did have dealings recently, and they are ready to cooperate on strategic projects. This has been carried out in secret and has not been announced to the public. Unexpectedly, the male protagonist and the villain are so sensitive to the news that they discover this news and take direct action before the situation is established.

Damn, is it amazing to have a halo?!

Xu Chenghao rolled his eyes secretly and asked reluctantly, “How do you want to cooperate?”

Jing Yicheng said unhurriedly: “It’s very simple, you can just replace the project partners with me directly. Whether you want elite backbones or capital injection, I can fully handle it.”

Xu Chenghao was slightly wary: “What do you want?”

He doesn’t believe the villain who never suffered a loss in the plot will suddenly be so kind as to help him.

Jing Yicheng’s eyes began to move down: “Why don’t you give me this pot of peppers.”

Xu Chenghao: “…”

Xu Chenghao: “You’re here to tease me on purpose, right?”

Jing Yicheng shook his finger: “No, I’m serious.”

“You have to know that I have money and power. I do not care how many more assets I can still get myself, I just want to make my life happy and get what I want. I just happen to be interested in this pot of peppers right now, and if you don’t agree, it will be too late if I’m not interested by the next day.”

“When the Ruan family cooperates with the Jiang family, it’s possible that your Xu family will fall because of this.” Because it was his sole initiative, Jing Yicheng didn’t panic but kept using words to remind Xu Chenghao what the consequences would be if he missed this opportunity and greeted them with the Xu Group.

Xu Chenghao frowned at him and suddenly asked, “Don’t you like candy the most? Why do you suddenly like peppers?”

Jing Yicheng was obviously stunned for a moment, and after a while, he said coolly, “I have a sweet and spicy tooth.”

Xu Chenghao: “…”

He couldn’t refute it!

The atmosphere was quiet for a moment, and Jing Yicheng asked again, “Have you made up your mind?”

Xu Chenghao reminded: “I have to tell you that this pot of pepper has a lifespan of three days, but they are ordinary crops and have no significance at all.”

Jing Yicheng smiled lightly: “It doesn’t matter, money can’t buy me happiness.”

“Good.” Xu Chenghao suddenly agreed but then continued immediately afterward.

“But cooperation has always been about paying in one hand and delivering in the other. I will definitely suffer a loss if I give it to you first. Why don’t I give you this pot of pepper seedlings when you come to me with the contract, how about it?”

This has been the best way Xu Chenghao could come up with to keep the pepper and work with the villain simultaneously.

Jing Yicheng reminded with a half-smile, “But you just said it only has three days to live.”

Xu Chenghao’s face did not change color: “I promise to give you the same one when the time comes.”

Jing Yicheng pondered for a moment and finally nodded his head in agreement, “Sure.”

“But…” He turned his words around and sat up straight as he said: “But it shouldn’t be too much for me to collect some deposits before cooperating, right?”

“What deposit?” While Xu Chenghao was still at a loss, he saw that the other party suddenly approached, snatched away the pepper that had just been produced, and quickly put it into his mouth to eat before Xu Chenghao could react.

Xu Chenghao: “???”

What the hell! Because he was bombarded by the double news that the villain gave up the female lead and the male lead was attacking the spare tire, he actually forgot the result of the little yellow duck flower pot four minutes later!!

Damn, Jing Yicheng actually robbed him of his pepper again!!!

Xu Chenghao’s anger broke out in an instant, and he suddenly jumped up and choked his neck with one hand, then grabbed the little yellow duck with the other hand and slammed it on his head. A muffled thud was particularly clear in the quiet back garden, and even Jing Yicheng, who was physically strong, was knocked dumbfounded for three seconds before he recovered and grabbed his wrist for dear life.

Xu Chenghao raised his legs to attack, his elbows to attack, his skull to attack, and even used his teeth. He pounced on the opponent and took three or four bites. That posture is like going to die together.

Jing Yicheng hadn’t experienced this kind of vixen-style fight before. He was at a loss for a while. It took five minutes to restrain the person since the strength of the two of them was very mismatched. He pressed the person on the bench, clutching his wrists and legs and pressing his legs.

Jing Yicheng held the complete circle of teeth marks on his right cheek and said coldly, “Are you crazy?”

Xu Chenghao glared, “You robbed me of pepper twice when you knew it was important to me, you’re driving me crazy!”

Jing Yicheng: “You bit me like this and you are still justified? “

Xu Chenghao: “It’s reasonable for you to eat my two peppers, right?”

Jing Yicheng: “Who let your pepper hurt me last time to give me a deep impression?”

Xu Chenghao: “So you’re tired of eating too much sugar to find excitement?”

Jing Yicheng paused, staring at the youth pressed to the bench by himself, looking puzzled.

Xu Chenghao’s hairstyle has long since been ruined and scattered pieces on his forehead, but it can’t cover his eyes sparkling from anger. The flaming anger shattered all the masks of indifferent gentlemen in the past, exposing his true self’s authentic and fresh appearance.

Xu Chenghao was still holding the little yellow duck flowerpot in his hand, his posture was really uncomfortable, and he immediately began to struggle while he was in a trance.

Jing Yicheng relaxed for a few seconds, then quickly recovered: “Don’t move!”

Xu Chenghao: “You let go!”

Jing Yicheng: “If I let go, you are not allowed to do it.”

Xu Chenghao’s response was a sneer; the noncom’s anger buff is still in an explosive state. It would be strange if he didn’t do anything.

Jing Yicheng threatened, “Do you still want to cooperate or not?”

Xu Chenghao growled, “Cooperation my ass; I want to die with you right now!!!”

Jing Yicheng: “Then you are ready to die with me, and let the Xu family elders watch their child die before they do, let Ruan Chenxuan be proud and happy with An Rouyu as his wife? Are you willing? “

Xu Chenghao: “If it wasn’t for you being a shit stick in there and refusing to let me go, I would have gotten rid of your love-hate entanglement and planted pepper by myself! They can do what they like, and let them go with their arrogance, I am willing! “

Jing Yicheng raised his eyebrows: “Really willing?”

Xu Chenghao: “I’m not willing unless I die with you.”

Jing Yicheng: “It’s just one pepper. Haven’t you calmed down yet?”

Xu Chenghao suddenly gazed at him coldly for a few seconds and asked, “What would you feel if the piece of candy An Ruoyu gave you back then was snatched away from you?”

Jing Yicheng froze.

Xu Chenghao looked at him and said, “All hope, inner sunshine, all perseverance, the final destination… Will all of this cease to exist? Are you still sure you will be the same person you are today?”

This is the inner monologue of the villain in the plot, and now Xu Chenghao gives it back to him, letting him know that pepper is also all the hope for himself, the end that he wants to hold on to until the end and be able to leave!

The atmosphere was instantly quiet, and the two men’s eyes interlaced as they fell on each other’s faces, watching each other in silence.

That wonderful feeling of sympathy, of knowing each other’s situation and heart, is once again so exciting that it is even more exciting than the first candy he received back then, so much so that he wants to …… have him!

The author has something to say:

Feelings come one step at a time, cough!

T/N:

In a fit of anger, Haohao forgot to be scared, lol! Poor Haohao, his peppers!! (╥_╥)(╥_╥).
