Chapter 74: Confession
The sky was already bright.
The weather in Kuncheng was around twenty to thirty degrees all year round. You could go out in a thin shirt and shorts.
Chi Xiasheng got up very early in the morning. Although he had used up a lot of spiritual energy yesterday to save Xiao Ze, he was, after all, a new guest. It was not good to do nothing, so he thought of getting up early to prepare breakfast.
When he went downstairs, the others were still asleep, so he quickly lightened his movements.
He started cooking in the kitchen with familiarity. After he had boiled the soup, he went out to the small vegetable garden to pick vegetables.
The front yard of the small building was surrounded by a circle of fence posts. Inside, there were several common vegetables planted. On the far left, there was also a shelf with a grapevine on it, which was now hanging with a few bunches of green-skinned grapes.
The moment he walked in, he felt the lush greenery, and his mood couldn’t help but relax.
Just as he was pulling a few green vegetables from the muddy ground and was about to go back into the house with a basket, a shadow appeared in front of him, blocking the sunlight.
He looked up in confusion, only to see a person who shouldn’t be here.
“CEO… CEO Sheng?”
When Sheng Sheng saw him, his heart was like a rippling pond, with circles of ripples.
But his face still maintained its last bit of calmness, and he nodded at him with restraint.
Because he had been squatting for too long, his legs were a little numb. When he stood up, he unsteadily sat on the ground.
Sheng Sheng looked at him sitting there in a daze, as if he had been stunned by the fall, and found it a little strange.
This dazed yet lively him was completely different from the one he usually saw.
Very cute, he thought.
He recovered for a while before he blushed and quickly stood up from the ground.
Patting the dust from his pants, he changed the subject and asked, “CEO Sheng, why are you here? Are you here for work?”
He shook his head, then nodded again. “I guess I’m here for work. This show is short of a guest, and I’m here to fill in.”
Hearing this, he immediately widened his eyes. Thinking that he would be living under the same roof with him for four or five days, a smile couldn’t help but appear on his lips.
“When I told you I was coming to Kuncheng before, did you already know you were going to record the same show with me?”
At that time, he had been troubled by the message he had sent, and his tone was even tinged with a hint of complaint.
A slightly embarrassed expression appeared on his handsome face. He coughed lightly and then said, “I was originally going to tell you, but Liu Secretary said it would be a surprise if I appeared directly in front of you.”
A firework suddenly exploded in his heart, colorful and brilliant, making his whole heart pound.
“Oh.”
The blush on his face deepened a little. He held back the itchy restlessness in his heart and went into the small building first.
Sheng Sheng naturally followed closely behind.
The moment he entered the house, he smelled the rice fragrance of the porridge he was cooking. He temporarily put the matter of Sheng Sheng aside and went to the kitchen to turn off the fire and stir-fry the dishes.
Sheng Sheng was not an artist, but this show was invested in by Shengshi. He came to inspect under the name of the big boss, and at the same time, he could spend more time with him.
He now felt as if he were addicted. As long as he couldn’t see him, his heart would be itching and scratching uncomfortably.
So, while dealing with the producer who was eagerly fawning over him, he used his peripheral vision to stare at him busy in the kitchen.
It wasn’t until he came out with the dishes and the others came down from upstairs that he had to put away his wanton and scorching gaze.
Brother Hao and Sister Jiao had received news before that their immediate superior was coming back, so although they were excited and nervous to see him, they were still relatively calm.
Cheng Heng, because of his family background, had also seen him a few times.
And besides him knowing that he had been rescued by a blue merman, the other members of the Cheng family all thought it was him who had saved him.
With this layer of relationship, he could only lower his head and greet him.
Sheng Sheng didn’t remember who he was at all and nodded to everyone equally.
It wasn’t until everyone was seated that Sister Jiao asked in confusion, “Why isn’t Little Mian down yet?”
Cheng Heng spread his hands and said he didn’t know. Although he was Su Chimian’s older brother, in fact, they were separated by a whole galaxy, as distant as they could be.
Li Hao was a good person. Although he also knew what he had done before, he still put on a good show on the surface and went upstairs to call him down.
Because he had personally seen him turn into a merman yesterday, his mood was both excited and complicated. He had only fallen asleep in the latter half of the night, so he naturally woke up late.
The moment Li Hao knocked on the door, he immediately opened his eyes and quickly got dressed and out of bed.
There are still important things to do today. I can’t be delayed by myself like this.
Walking down, before he could apologize to everyone, he saw that there was an extra person at the dining table.
“CEO… CEO Sheng?”
He looked confused, but when he saw the honey-like atmosphere between him and Sheng Sheng, he immediately understood.
This person is probably using the recording of the show to go on a date with him.
Although his heart was filled with sourness, he didn’t say much more and sat down to eat.
Although he and Sheng Sheng didn’t interact much during this meal, the others could still see the ambiguity between them.
This breakfast was tasteless. They were almost full from eating dog food!
After finally finishing this meal, he took his bowl into the kitchen and, seeing the two of them walking out together, he couldn’t help but sneer in his heart.
It’s useless to be good now. When we go to the sea today and he reveals his original form, I wonder what Sheng Sheng will do.
It will definitely be very exciting!
The spring scenery outside was beautiful, and the sunlight was tinged with a lazy warmth. It shone on his body, making him couldn’t help but show a smile.
“The weather is so nice. Kuncheng is very suitable for a winter vacation.”
Sheng Sheng’s entire mind was on him. Hearing this, he naturally nodded.
Walking under a large, leafy tree, he suddenly said, “Do you remember the first time you recorded a variety show? There was also such a large tree in that small village.”
He really did recall it.
In that small village, there was indeed a large tree growing on a flat open space. It could be said to be the entertainment center of the whole village. Many old people and children liked to cool off there.
And in that small village, he had also met the black fish, Xiao Ze.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but pause and turned to ask, “How do you know there was a large tree in the show I recorded? Did you watch that show?”
In fact, he had always found it strange. Sheng Sheng’s kindness towards him seemed to have no reason.
From before, when he was oppressed by the Su family and had no resources, Shengshi Group had been secretly helping him.
Could it be that Sheng Sheng had noticed him only after watching this show?
Sheng Sheng also recalled that small village. He had been through a tribulation but was almost struck to death by lightning. If it weren’t for the person in front of him, he would have probably already dissipated in this world.
The demons of his time had almost all been wiped out. The heavens could not tolerate such a powerful existence and could only strike them dead during the lightning tribulation.
He’s partial to mermen, it’s really not just talk.
To leave a glimmer of hope for the merman race, he could even let me go so lightly.
Thinking of this, his eyes couldn’t help but become more gentle.
This feeling of having experienced life and death with the other was also a bit sweet to savor.
He looked at the lush trees in front of him and suddenly wanted the other to feel his own pounding heart.
“Actually, I’ve been in contact with you for a long time, earlier than you think.”
Hearing this, he just guessed in confusion, “That’s not possible. Logically, if we had met before, I wouldn’t not remember you.”
Sheng Sheng’s appearance was too outstanding, and he had a faint sense of pressure, like a fierce beast lurking in the dark, ready to tear off this disguise and pounce at any moment.
This kind of person, he would remember very clearly after seeing him.
“I’ve been with you for a long time. From awkwardness to joy, I don’t know when my eyes became full of your shadow…”
He paused and, in his slowly reddening cheeks, he continued, “Although it wasn’t in human form, I’m very happy that I was so lucky to meet you.”
From the moment he started speaking, he realized that he seemed to be confessing.
His heart couldn’t help but become hot. His reddened fingertips curled up. Just as he was thinking about how to react, he sensitively caught the words in his words.
“What do you mean…” not in human form?
He looked at him with his translucent eyes and, with his gentle nod, he unconsciously opened his mouth wide.
“You… Little Black?”
Logically, he shouldn’t have thought of the connection between Little Black and him so quickly, but since he had just saved the black fish demon, Xiao Ze, yesterday, he couldn’t help but think in this direction.
Not to mention that Sheng Sheng’s occasional expression was inexplicably similar to Little Black’s. In an instant, he had thought of the truth.
From the moment he had decided to leave the Su family, the only one who could always be by his side, besides his agent, seemed to be that little black dog.
Because he had no talent for naming, he had always called him Little Black.
He took a few steps back, seeming a little disbelieving, but also couldn’t help but have a sudden realization.
Why would Shengshi Group help me, and why would Sheng Sheng be so special to me? Everything had an answer at this moment.
“So you were…”
In his astonished gaze, he nodded.
“I should have told you earlier, but I had just gone through a great calamity at that time and couldn’t transform. Later, when I wanted to say it, I couldn’t find a suitable opportunity.”
Although he was afraid that he would be angry after knowing the truth, he was even more afraid that if he didn’t confess and was discovered, the other would be distant and cold to him.
What he wanted, what he longed for, had long since changed.
He was indeed a little angry at being played with, but seeing his sincere and fiery gaze, he couldn’t help but soften his heart.
Whether it was Little Black or Sheng Sheng, he always had a soft spot for them.
“Don’t be angry. I was afraid you would ignore me, so I procrastinated for so long.” He seemed a little awkward, clenching his fists and holding it in for a long time before he spoke again. “I like you, Xiaxia. I want to establish a formal spousal relationship with you.”
