Chapter 86 The male protagonist
After seeing Qin Sheng's caller ID, Qiao Zhenzhen was absent-minded until Qin Sheng came out of the study with a smile, and she was silently relieved.
I am in a relaxed state, and I am in a good mood. I want to come to Grandpa Chi and Chi Shen.
that's enough.
Qiao Zhenzhen stayed in the living room for a while again, and quietly returned to the room when it was almost time.
After closing the door, the excitement was isolated, and my ears suddenly became quiet.
"Although you can't contact Chi Shen right now, you can still contact Chi Cheng. You didn't need to avoid it just now." Xiao Ba reminded in a low voice.
Qiao Zhenzhen smiled and said, "I don't want it anymore. Every time I finish the phone call with Grandpa Chi, my mother will be very nervous about me, and every bit of emotion will make them worry."
During the time when Chi Shen left, she often contacted Chi Cheng. Later, she gradually discovered that Chi Cheng would be cautious every time she contacted, for fear of saying which sentence was wrong to make her sad, and mother and them too, after contacting In the past two or three days, the atmosphere at home will become weird. Everyone talks to her carefully.
And she gradually discovered that even if she was in contact with Chi Cheng, she could only get Chi Shen’s ‘okay, not bad, everything is going well’ cliché, which was of no use at all except to worry the elders.
So gradually, she stopped contacting Chi Cheng. As long as she knew that everything was fine in Chi Shen from afar, it was enough.
Qiao Zhenzhen sighed and lay quietly on the bed and wandered.
As time passed bit by bit, City A, where fireworks and fireworks were prohibited, was quiet. She lay for a long time, and finally turned on the phone to search for a piece of fireworks audio. After covering it with a pillow, she pretended to be passing from a distant city. The sound of mobile video playback.
The university’s winter vacation lasts for a full month, but when the time is spent on a series of activities such as walking with relatives and going back to the hometown, it seems a little insufficient. Qiao Zhenzhen only feels that the time is in a hurry and he hasn’t had a good rest yet. Entered college life again.
Time slipped away bit by bit in the fingers, and the accumulation of favorability value was still difficult and slow. It took Qiao Zhenzhen more than a year to accumulate 30 favor points, giving Chi Shen a three-month lifespan.
It's too slow, and the increased lifespan simply cannot keep up with the flow of time. At this rate, Chi Shen may find it difficult to spend his 27th birthday.
Qiao Zhenzhen became more urgent than ever before. She suddenly realized that just doing good deeds is impossible. She has to think of some more efficient ways to increase her goodwill faster.
By chance, she followed Qin Jing to a charity reception. At the reception, she was taken a photo by the reporter. When the photo was sent out as a news photo, a lot of 0.01 appeared in her mind, because there were too many data, so small. Eight cannot be processed, so they have to be merged together to form a whole data, and finally the figure of 2.13 is displayed.
"The host is so powerful, a photo can increase so much favorability!" Xiao Ba exclaimed.
Qiao Zhenzhen was very speechless: "...I knew it was so simple, so why did I work so hard?"
"I think it's a new idea, host, are you interested in making a debut?" Xiao Ba was curious.
Qiao Zhenzhen's mouth twitched: "No, but...it is indeed a new idea."
After that, she sighed, "It doesn’t have to be a debut, just take a few more lovable photos, or increase the exposure, but I don’t like to be the limelight... Wait a minute, maybe Chi Shen I came back in two years."
If he can come back soon, she won't have to force her to do this.
After listening to her, Xiao Ba wanted to say that Chi Shen’s return means that the treatment is over. Even if he still feels good about her, it may not be the same as before. With an increase of tens or hundreds of points, the probability will still be like everyone else. It's all data of zero point and zero.
But it did not say it sensibly. Instead, it changed the topic: "Host, your photos are now widely circulated, and they may increase favorability in the future. Should we merge the data directly and report once a week?"
"Yes, so I will also be clean." Qiao Zhenzhen nodded and agreed.
Xiao Ba reminded again: "But after the merger, it is impossible to identify the source of the favor."
"It doesn't matter, it's all the same." Qiao Zhenzhen said lightly.
Xiaoba heard this and only then set up a merger.
Qiao Zhenzhen breathed a long sigh of relief, suddenly feeling much more relaxed——
At least when necessary in the future, she will be able to make a career like Xiao Ba said. With the Qin family's ability, she can easily get a lot of resources without any effort, and the increased exposure should be able to provide Chi Shen's life. continue.
Qiao Zhenzhen, who had a retreat, was no longer as exhausted as he used to be. But in Chishen on the other side of the ocean, he accidentally saw a photo in the early morning of a certain day.
In the photo, she wore a black suspender skirt. The close-fitting design outlined her voluptuous curves. She held a goblet in her slender white hand with half of the red wine in the glass. She smiled with crooked eyes, talking to Qin Jing next to her, clearly dressed up, but her eyebrows were innocent and innocent.
Very beautiful.
Chi Shen looked at the photo quietly, but did not move for a long time.
"Hey, Chi Shen," the classmate saw him staring at the computer and leaned over curiously. After seeing the photo, he exclaimed, "Who is she, so beautiful, is she a new star in China?"
Chi Shen's lips moved, and it took a long time to speak hoarsely: "It's my girlfriend."
"... Stop it, this is clearly the news page, did you forget that I am a country with you?" The classmate was speechless.
However, Chi Shen ignored him and just looked at the photos quietly.
The classmate stretched out his hand and shook it before his eyes, and his eyes instantly became cold.
"...It's really dazed." The classmate was taken aback by his expression, and left hesitantly.
The surrounding area finally calmed down, Chi Shen stared at the photo for a long time, and finally reached out his hand carefully to her.
However, the cold screen was touched by the fingertips.
He regained his senses abruptly, and turned off the computer after a moment of silence.
Time continues to move forward, and everyone seems to be moving forward. When the yellowed leaves fall from the sky again, a new semester begins.
Qiao Zhenzhen once again sat under the welcome shed, and the roommate next to her took her to chat: "Can you imagine? This is our second welcome."
"I am the third time." Qiao Zhenzhen corrected.
The roommate was speechless: "Is this the point?! The point is that we are already a junior, and I don't even have a boyfriend yet!"
"Then you should work harder today and turn a little brother back home." Qiao Zhen laughed.
The roommate hummed: "You are right, I have to grab the tail of youth... What do you think of that, are you handsome?"
Qiao Zhenzhen raised his head and glanced at him. He was a gentleman with glasses.
"It's okay, but his girlfriend is nearby." She reminded.
The roommate saw that it was really true, so he started searching for others. Qiao Zhenzhen was amused by his roommate with Huobao. He lowered his head to register the new student list and couldn't help laughing.
"This, this, this is so handsome!" The roommate who had been playing tricks was suddenly excited.
Qiao Zhenzhen reluctantly continued to register: "Don't pull my arm, it won't be written."
"I didn't lie to you. This is really good-looking. Believe it or not that he can become a man of the world as soon as he enters the school? It's absolutely amazing," the roommate said, the more excited he was. Her pen, "Oh, don't write, look at it!"
Qiao Zhenzhen twitched the corners of her mouth, so she raised her head perfunctorily, and then in the next second, she looked at each other with a pair of clean eyes.
It is very dark and pure, a bit like Chi Shen.
Time seemed to slow down for an instant. She fixedly looked at the person in front of her, and gradually held her breath.
"Isn't it, you look handsome?" said the roommate Xianbao.
Qiao Zhenzhen didn't speak, but stared at him in a daze, until he showed a brilliant smile to himself, and the eyes that resembled Chi Shen were full of smiles, and the strange subtleties in her heart suddenly disappeared completely.
"... Holding the grass, he smiled at me! No, it seems to be smiling at you, isn't it, to me? Oh, he's here!" The roommate who has always been just a mouthful suddenly stunned, holding the things in front of him. It jumped, leaving Qiao Zhenzhen alone in his place.
"Good sister."
Boys have wide shoulders and long legs, and their muscles are smooth. At first glance, they are the type who likes to exercise. Because of her good-looking appearance and the sunshine all over her body, wherever she goes, she is the focal point of the crowd. Now she is in front of another focal point of the crowd, which immediately attracts more people's attention.
Qiao Zhenzhen habitually ignores the sight of the surrounding inquiries, turning his head and talking to the counseling bag behind him: "Return the pen to me."
"...Oh." The roommate obediently handed over the pen and quickly avoided it, causing the boys to burst into laughter.
Qiao Zhenzhen also smiled, and then handed him the pen: "Register the basic information, and then go over there to fill up the card to get the military training uniform."
"I am not your professional," the boy laughed again, showing his small teeth, "I am in charge of finances."
[Favorite +1, existing 7.62 points]
"His opinion is so high!" Xiao Ba exclaimed.
Qiao Zhenzhen paused: "Then you have to go to the financial shed to register. The registration information is related to the distribution of the dormitory. In principle, it should be shared with your own profession."
The boy nodded: "I know, thank you senior sister."
[Favorite +1, 8.62 points in existence]
"...It can actually rise, is it love at first sight? But love at first sight is too high. The boy who chased you for two years before, the highest is 0.2, right?" Xiao Ba continued to be shocked.
Qiao Zhenzhen was also surprised, and couldn't help but glance at the boys a few more times.
Seeing her looking at herself, the boy suddenly smiled and bent his eyes, revealing a neat row of small white teeth: "Senior Sister, my name is Mo Chu."
Mo Chu? Qiao Zhenzhen was stunned.
"...It turned out to be the male lead." Little Bayi said so.
Xiao Ba's suddenly enlightened tone made Qiao Zhenzhen very speechless. Seeing that Mo Chu still refused to leave, she found a reason to leave the matter to her roommate, and she left quickly.
As soon as she returned to the dormitory, she immediately asked Xiaoba: "Don't you know that he is the male lead?"
"The original texts of the novels are all written descriptions, and there is no photo display. Before seeing the host, Xiao Ba only knows the general appearance description of the host, just like although the host has read the original text, he can only describe it in words, and he cannot outline specific images in his mind. The same," Xiao Ba patiently explained, "It could have been speculated based on the progress of the plot, but the host did not go to the original foreign university, so there was no way to speculate based on the plot."
Qiao Zhenzhen frowned, his expression a bit solemn for a while.
"It's a good thing for the male lead to appear, what is the host worried about?" Xiao Ba was curious.
Qiao Zhenzhen was speechless: "What's good."
"He is your official match!" Xiao Ba reminded.
Qiao Zhenzhen was silent for a long time, and finally twitched his lips: "Forget it, I'm not interested."
In the last life, because Zhao Lianqiao disturbed the plot, she never saw the male lead until she died. Although she read the original text and knew the whole process of her and Mo Chu's love in the original text, it was just a reference book for her. And since she got out of the plot, the original text doesn't even have much reference meaning left, so she never thought about Mo Chu.
Now that he suddenly appeared in front of her, she couldn't help but remember the relationship between him and the Chi family in the original text, and then she had new worries——
In the original text, because the Chi family had no queen, he became the heir by chance. Now that Chi Shen is still alive, will he inherit the Chi family in the future? If he fails to inherit, will he become angry and do anything irrational to Chi Shen?
"Don't worry about the host. The hero's persona is a small sun, and his family is also very generous. All the growth trajectories are traceable. Even if you don't inherit the Chi family, you will not suddenly blacken." Xiao Ba comforted. .
Qiao Zhenzhen twitched his lips: "I hope so."
The sudden appearance of Mo Chu really made Qiao Zhenzhen panic, but after he calmed down, he figured it out. In the original text, he and Chi Chenglai did not know each other. It was a chance that the two met by chance and Chi Cheng watched. His familiar eyes moved a bit, and then he noticed him, and then gradually cultivated to become a talent, and finally inherited the Chi family.
The original text did not describe this part too much, but after reading it repeatedly, Qiao Zhenzhen determined that the reason why Chi Cheng looked at the male protagonist differently was because his ability was indeed outstanding, and the other was because his eyes resembled Chi Shen. Now that Chi Shen is still alive, the possibility of Chi Cheng handing over the family business to others is fundamentally eliminated. Chi Cheng and the male lead will not have any further intersection, and the subsequent series of plots will naturally not happen.
… Well, the danger is eliminated, she only needs to treat Mo Chu as a stranger.
Qiao Zhenzhen took a deep breath and decided to avoid Mo Chu as much as possible in the last year of school and be two strangers steadfastly.
However, she underestimated the natural gravitational force between men and women.
Although she has reduced going out, every time she goes out, she still meets him eight out of ten times, sometimes in the cafeteria, sometimes in the playground, and occasionally out of school. If she doesn’t encounter enough surprises every time, she really Think he is following himself.
After encountering several times in a row, Mo Chu finally stopped being limited to saying hello: "Sister Zhenzhen, do you have lunch together?"
"No, I just finished eating." Qiao Zhenzhen said lightly.
Mo Chu paused: "But you are now walking to the cafeteria."
"Well, I don't want to eat with you." Qiao Zhenzhen didn't change his face even after being dismantled.

"It has risen again." Xiao Ba is very calm, and even feels that the male lead is a little unqualified. He has become a male partner, and the increase has not been less than five. This person only has a little each time.
Mo Chu suddenly laughed: "Sister, I like you, I want to chase you."
Qiao Zhenzhen didn't expect that he could confess under this situation, and he was a bit speechless for a while.
"Don't answer me in a hurry, wait for me to chase for a while before talking." After Mo Chu finished speaking, he turned his head and ran away quickly, as if he was afraid of being rejected by her.
Qiao Zhenzhen: "...Is he really the male protagonist? Why does he feel that his brain is not so good?"
Xiao Ba was silent for a moment: "According to the original text, you like his pure awkwardness when chasing people, and he is very sincere."
Forget it, whether he is purely sincere or clumsy, which one is better than Chi Shen? As soon as Qiao Zhenzhen's thoughts came out, he suddenly felt a little melancholy. He went to the supermarket to buy some food and went straight back to the dormitory.
Mo Chu's confession was the clarion call for the charge. After greeted Qiao Zhenzhen in advance, he began to appear in every corner of Qiao Zhenzhen. He just tried hard to pursue, like every male college student, engaged in some strange romance, but did not ask the people around to help, and did not deliberately please Qiao Zhenzhen's roommates, let them intentionally or unconsciously help exert pressure.
However, the people around them seem to be obsessed with their hearts. From the bottom of my heart, I feel that the two of them are born together and they should be dating and falling in love. The school post bar even has their CP post. The building is full of excitement, and it has reached the point where Qiao Zhenzhen can't bear it.
Finally, she asked Mo Chu out.
"Sister, you came so early." Mo Chu smiled and appeared in front of her.
Qiao Zhenzhen pursed his lips, and said for a while: "Scholar, I want to tell you something."
"What's the matter? Promise my pursuit?" Mo Chu looked forward to it.
[Favorite +1, existing 11.2]
Qiao Zhenzhen took a deep breath, frowned and looked at him: "No, what I want to tell you is that I have a boyfriend."
Mo Chu was stunned for a while, and said in embarrassment for a while: "Sister, stop making trouble, even if you want to reject me, find a better reason. This makes me very embarrassed."
"What I said is true, I have a boyfriend, but for some reason, I can't meet him temporarily. I have told other people about this, but they don't believe it," she finished. I was also embarrassed, "Of course, if you want evidence, I shouldn't be able to show it."
In order to avoid contact, all her contact methods have been changed, and the chat records with Chi Shen are naturally gone.
Mo Chu decided to look at her, and for a long time he reluctantly smiled: "I believe in senior sister."
"So..." Qiao Zhenzhen looked at him carefully, "Can you give up?"
"If it has caused trouble to the senior sister's life, then I give up," Mo Chu finished speaking seriously, and paused for a while, "but it takes a little time. Senior sister is really my favorite girl since I was a child, although You may not believe it, but since the first time I saw you, I felt that we should be together."
Qiao Zhenzhen smiled and said, "You will also meet a girl you like very much in the future."
"I hope," Mo Chu pursed his lips. "Then senior sister, can we still be friends?"
"After you don't like me, I am willing to be your friend." In all fairness, Qiao Zhenzhen has never hated him.
Mo Chu smiled bitterly when he heard the words: "Senior sister is really...no way to survive, not even the qualification to be a spare tire."
Qiao Zhenzhen gave a dry laugh.
Mo Chu sighed softly: "Well, wait for me to calm down, if I can dislike you... we will be friends."
Qiao Zhenzhen nodded and agreed.
When she tried to refuse Mo Chu, a high-end apartment building on the other side of the ocean suddenly caught fire. Chi Shen, who came back from an outing, saw heavy smoke, his face changed in an instant. He threw down the things in his hand and rushed into the apartment building regardless. .
"It's dangerous inside, come out!"
"Are you going to die?!"
Chi Shen gritted his teeth and held his breath, ran to the seventh floor with a sigh of fire. After rushing in, ignoring all the valuables in the house, he rushed into the bedroom and ran out after hiding a photo in his pocket.
The fire spread suddenly, and even the high temperature began to evaporate in the corridor, his vision began to blur, his forehead was sweating like rain, and he endured the painful pain and walked down step by step. When the road was about to be unsteady, he could only bite. Teeth on the iron handrail.
There was a sharp pain at the moment his palm touched the armrest, and his mind instantly became sober. He gritted his teeth and forcibly tore off the palm that was stuck to the armrest, and rushed out of the building against the blood and flesh of his hand.
When the cool wind came, he breathed lightly and fell straight to the ground.
When she woke up again, she had already appeared in the hospital. His left hand was wrapped in rice dumplings, a few band-aids were put on his right hand, and several blisters, large and small, had been coated with medicine.
He moved slightly and touched his pocket with his right hand.
Fortunately, the photos are still there.
Chi Shen breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked up, he happened to see Chi Cheng coming in: "Grandpa..."
"Is there still pain in my body?" Chi Cheng asked anxiously, apparently rushing here overnight.
Chi Shen shook his head slightly, and then asked after being quiet: "Why are you here?"
"I heard that your apartment is on fire, can I not come?" Chi Cheng sighed, "It's all right, it's all right."
Although Chi Shen was fine this time, he was still scared. Chi Shen was hospitalized for two days. He has been guarding him. By the way, he found a safer apartment for Chi Shen. When Chi Shen was discharged from the hospital, his home Already moved.
"Actually, I want to rent a villa for you, but if you live alone in space, it's better to be here. It's a big flat floor with relatively few people. There will be no more oven fires." Chi Cheng happily introduced him , Chi Shen listened quietly, echoing from time to time.
Chi Cheng took him around and started yawning.
"Go to bed for a while, I haven't slept well for two days." Chi Shen said.
It is rare for the grandson to take the initiative to care, so Chi Cheng nodded happily and went directly to the guest room to rest.
After the door of the guest room was closed, Chi Shen took the carefully hidden photo out of his pocket.
Many folds were pressed out.
Chi Shen pursed his lips, smoothed it out and put it in a book before sitting down on the sofa.
Ding Dong.
There was a vibration from the side, Chi Shen turned his head and looked over and saw Chi Cheng's mobile phone there.
Suddenly, his heartbeat quickened, and his fingers trembled slightly.
For a long time, he carefully took the phone, clicked on Chi Cheng's address book, looked down page by page, and finally stopped at the name of "Zhen Zhen".
His throat trembled and he dialed the phone for a long time.
Toot...Toot...Toot...
After a few beeps, it was finally connected.
"Grandpa, why did you contact me suddenly?"
A familiar voice sounded, and Chi Shen's eye circles suddenly turned red.
