Chapter 76: Mad
The afternoon sun was like brilliant golden powder, covering the entire world, so bright that people couldn’t even open their eyes.
The water by the sea surged and retreated, leaving only dark water marks on the white sand.
Su Chimian ran over from the sea and blocked Sheng Sheng with his hand.
Although Sheng Sheng’s eyes were as cold as frost, which made Su Chimian tremble, he still stubbornly did not leave.
“CEO Sheng, take a good look at the person in your arms. His legs are all covered with scales! He’s a demon!”
The temperature of Chi Xiasheng in Sheng Sheng’s arms was terrifyingly high. His whole little face was as red as blood, perhaps from the sun.
His heart couldn’t help but ache. Sheng Sheng tightened his grip on Chi Xiasheng, his eyes cold.
“Get out of the way. I don’t know what nonsense you’re talking about. Xiaxia is just a little unwell.”
Su Chimian had seen it very clearly just now. Hearing Sheng Sheng defend Chi Xiasheng so much, he curled his lips in a sarcastic smile.
“You’re lying! You’re protecting Chi Xiasheng so much?! He’s not even human!”
Su Chimian felt that Sheng Sheng must have been bewitched by this demon!
The person closest to Chi Xiasheng was clearly Sheng Sheng. Even the clothes on Chi Xiasheng’s legs were wrapped by Sheng Sheng…
He was just covering for this demon!
The expression on Sheng Sheng’s face was already a little impatient, and a dark fog like an abyss surged in the depths of his eyes.
But Su Chimian spoke again. “You say Chi Xiasheng is human. Why don’t you dare to take off his clothes and let everyone see?! What are you afraid of!”
Although Su Chimian’s aggressiveness was very unreasonable, it had a bit of truth.
The film crew, who had followed him, stood on the side, not daring to move, just whispering among themselves, their eyes on Chi Xiasheng.
Sheng Sheng squinted his eyes and sneered. “Who do you think you are? On what grounds are you ordering me?”
These words were as if they had been soaked in ice water. Even at the moment when the sun was high in the sky, it still scared the others into shrinking back.
The producer of the film crew ran over with his fat belly and pulled Su Chimian to the side.
“Little Su, what are you doing? What nonsense are you talking about? CEO Sheng is kindly taking Chi Xiasheng to rest. Why are you stopping him?”
The producer really didn’t believe what Su Chimian said about demons. In this day and age, scientific materialism was the mainstream thought. For Su Chimian to say that Chi Xiasheng was a demon right off the bat made people think that he was probably taking the opportunity to slander him.
With the producer blocking Su Chimian, Sheng Sheng didn’t even spare him a glance and directly strode away.
How could Su Chimian watch such a good opportunity to expose him slip away? He broke free from the producer’s hand and rushed up.
His fingers touched the clothes covering Chi Xiasheng’s legs. He pulled hard, and the clothes fell to the ground.
The others didn’t expect this to happen at all and all stood there, staring blankly.
Su Chimian looked at the others’ reactions and, lifting his head, pointed at Chi Xiasheng. “Look… what’s going on?! Where’s his fishtail?!”
Su Chimian’s expression went from smug to shock, completely unable to believe the scene in front of him.
Chi Xiasheng was wearing black knee-length shorts, and his two fair calves were glowing white in the sun. Perhaps because he was a little uncomfortable, his round and cute toes were curled up, and the back of his feet were even a faint red.
Su Chimian stood there in a daze, the black clothes he had just pulled off scattered at his feet.
“Impossible… impossible. I clearly saw… no, it must be fake. This person is a merman. It’s an illusion he created!”
The producer and Brother Hao held on to Su Chimian, who was trying to pounce on him like a madman, on the left and right. Beads of sweat dripped down their foreheads.
“Little Mian, what’s wrong with you! Stop making a scene, okay?”
Brother Hao also quickly advised, “The sun is so big today. You probably saw it wrong, right? How could Little Xia be a merman!”
They had all seen it, so they naturally believed their own eyes.
Su Chimian was at a loss for words. He was both anxious and angry, his chest heaving. He stared at Sheng Sheng carrying Chi Xiasheng away from here.
Sister Jiao was a step behind. Seeing Su Chimian sitting on the ground in defeat, her heart couldn’t help but soften. “Little Mian, the sun was too hot just now. I also saw several strange fish. You should also be a little heatstroked. Go back and rest for a while and you’ll be fine.”
Su Chimian opened his mouth, still wanting to refute that he was not seeing things. He caught a glimpse of Cheng Heng walking towards him, and his eyes lit up.
“Brother Cheng, you tell them. You saw a blue merman before, didn’t you?! Chi Xiasheng he really is not human. You tell them!”
Su Chimian was in a panic, just wanting to find someone to believe him, and he didn’t care about anything else.
Cheng Heng’s face was slightly gloomy. He frowned and looked at Su Chimian, letting out a light, cold laugh.
Of course he believed it. Although he was far away, he had seen Chi Xiasheng’s legs covered with scales at the first moment.
Besides Su Chimian, he was probably the only one who had seen that silver-blue swimming fishtail.
But before he could get excited, he saw that Su Chimian was determined to expose Chi Xiasheng to the public, and he almost instantly understood his sinister intentions.
He probably knew long ago that Chi Xiasheng couldn’t go into the water, and he used this opportunity to want to completely crush him!!
The thought that he had pressured the film crew to make this activity happen made him want to slap himself a few times.
This time, he really almost fell into Su Chimian’s hands!
“I didn’t see anything. On the contrary, you, Su Chimian…” Cheng Heng stared at him with a cold gaze and slowly squatted down. “You dare to scheme against me. Very good!”
Cheng Heng was able to sit firmly in the position of the sole heir of the Cheng family, not just because of his parents’ bottomless love for him. His own methods were also ruthless enough.
Hearing this, Su Chimian’s eyes slowly widened. Only then did he remember that Cheng Heng was whole-heartedly on the side of that merman.
“No… I didn’t! Brother Cheng, listen to my explanation. I didn’t mean to deceive you. I didn’t know before, I really didn’t know!”
Cheng Heng didn’t want to listen and walked away with a dark expression.
Su Chimian was so scared that tears fell from his eyes. He sat on the beach in a daze, as if all his strength to stand up and chase after him had been drained.
Later, the staff couldn’t bear to watch anymore and helped Su Chimian back to the small building.
Sheng Sheng carried Chi Xiasheng and, as soon as he was away from the crowd, he dispelled the illusion.
Chi Xiasheng’s fair calves instantly turned back into a drooping fishtail.
The temperature in his body was so hot he was about to explode. He whimpered and wagged the tip of his fishtail slightly, then directly burrowed into Sheng Sheng’s arms.
“Xiaxia…”
Chi Xiasheng had now completely lost his reason. He reached out with his slender, white arms and wrapped them around Sheng Sheng’s neck, lifting his little face to reach for his mouth.
Sheng Sheng’s heart was about to explode. He watched Chi Xiasheng’s action and, not daring to move, he accepted this light kiss.
Although this kiss was so shallow that it was just their lips touching, it still made a scorching heat rush up his spine, flowing through his limbs, every cell boiling and clamoring.
The moment Chi Xiasheng weakly fell back and his lips left, Sheng Sheng eagerly chased after him and deepened the kiss.
Sheng Sheng still had a bit of reason left. Just as he was about to be lost in it, a thought flashed in his mind, and he entered his own mustard seed space.
…
When Cheng Heng returned to the small building with hurried steps, he found that it was empty, not a single person.
He was guilty and anxious. He rushed upstairs and pushed open the door to Chi Xiasheng’s room.
The room was clean and tidy, with a hint of sunshine, but he still didn’t see Chi Xiasheng.
Just as he was about to go out to find someone, Brother Hao and Sister Jiao also came back with the fainted Su Chimian and, seeing this, they quickly said, “CEO Sheng probably took him to see a doctor. Little Xia looks like he has a heatstroke. Let’s eat first and wait for a while.”
No matter how anxious Cheng Heng was, he could only nod and pace around the living room restlessly.
Brother Hao and Sister Jiao sighed. The two of them went to the kitchen to cook and, at the same time, they talked about whether this episode could still be broadcast.
With such a series of things happening, and Su Chimian’s muddled meddling, this episode was probably going to be ruined.
“It’s fine. We can just treat it as a vacation. Anyway, we won’t be paid less.”
Sister Jiao was very open-minded. In this day and age, it was enough to earn money.
Brother Hao nodded in agreement. “But to be able to see the top boss is also very satisfying.”
Sister Jiao covered her mouth and smiled. “I was thinking before if I could fly up to the branches and become a phoenix, but seeing the way CEO Sheng looks at Little Xia, I know I probably don’t have a chance.”
The two of them simultaneously ignored the other rich young master of the Cheng family. After all, his personality was too proud and unrestrained, and he was really not to be provoked.
After eating, they waited for a long time, but still didn’t see Sheng Sheng and Chi Xiasheng come back.
Su Chimian had already slowly woken up. He went downstairs and, seeing the others avoiding his gaze, his heart sank, and he went back to lie on his own bed.
Not being able to expose Chi Xiasheng with this opportunity, and offending the Cheng family and Sheng Sheng, I’m afraid I won’t have a good life in the future.
Being looked at like a madman by so many people, Su Chimian’s heart had indeed already become twisted. He only thought about how to let everyone know Chi Xiasheng’s true face.
Just like his mother’s madness when the truth was revealed, Su Chimian’s thinking was also no longer clear. He even wanted to confront Chi Xiasheng in person and ask if he had used some kind of illusion to confuse so many people!
My family is broken, and I’m living a humble and cautious life as a parasite. All of this must be the fault of this demon, Chi Xiasheng!
Su Chimian’s head throbbed with pain. Just as he was about to lose consciousness from the pain, he vaguely saw Chi Xiasheng’s blue merman appear in front of him.
“You really are a merman! You lied to me. This is all your demonic art!”
Su Chimian didn’t know where he got the strength from. He leaped up and rushed to fight with that Chi Xiasheng.
When Brother Hao downstairs felt that something was wrong and went up to have a look, Su Chimian had already hit his head on the wall and had completely fainted.
Brother Hao was startled and quickly called for an ambulance to take Su Chimian to the hospital.
Cheng Heng saw Su Chimian go mad and get himself into this state, frowned, and also followed him to the hospital.
It wasn’t that he wanted to take care of him, but he was just taking this opportunity to visit his savior in the hospital.
