Chapter 2 Marry Me
"What is your relationship with Tang Fei?"
Xu Jie stared at the woman intently. Snowflakes fell on his eyelashes and moistened his eyes, but he did not blink.
When masters fight, victory or defeat is often decided in a matter of a moment.
He guessed that the other party must be a die-hard fan of Tang Fei, similar to the death warriors in ancient times, who were willing to risk their lives to protect the secrets of their idol and threaten him with violence to prevent future troubles. Isn't that how it's played out in palace fighting dramas?
"Tang Fei? You also know Tang Fei?" the woman asked in surprise.
"Stop pretending? Come on, I won't succumb to violence!" Xu Jie grabbed the wine bottle with his backhand.
What do you mean even if we can’t be husband and wife, we can still be best friends? Bah!
The woman tilted her head in confusion. Seeing the man's frenzied look, she couldn't help but ask, "Did you drink fake wine?"
"What?"
"Why else would you be talking nonsense?" The woman threw away the snowball in her hand and said, "I just passed by here and saw you sitting there motionless on the chair with thick snow on your body. I thought you were frozen to death, but when I approached you, you started yelling like a lunatic. I happened to have a snowball in my hand at the time, so I threw it out subconsciously. That's what happened."
Xu Jie sneered, then asked loudly: "Since it was just a chance encounter, how did you know Tang Fei?"
"Tang Fei, the hottest new singer right now, who doesn't know her? I saw her singing at a concert last night." The woman said excitedly, like a little fangirl.
Well……
Xu Jie was speechless for a moment. Compared with the other party's self-righteousness, he seemed ignorant at this moment and didn't know how strong Tang Fei 's influence was.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but reveal a self-deprecating smile on his face. It turned out that the gap between him and Tang Fei had reached a point where it was visible to the naked eye.
Xu Jie, ah, Xu Jie, please be more careful!
The woman looked at the strange man in front of her curiously, "What is your relationship with Tang Fei? From the tone of your voice, it seems as if there is some deep hatred between you."
Xu Jie did not answer. Was he trying to say that he and Tang Fei had a relationship where they complemented each other's strengths and weaknesses and shared what they had?
He sat down again and continued to drink to numb himself, looking lonely.
The woman slowly approached, and looked at the man blankly with her clear eyes. Drinking alone in the park on such a cold day, he must be a man with a story, or he wanted to cause an accident.
Xu Jie drank for a while, then looked up and was startled to see the woman in front of him, "Why haven't you left yet?"
The woman looked around and asked, "Isn't this a park?"
A park, as the name suggests, is a garden for the public to rest.
Xu Jie's lips twitched involuntarily. He didn't want to be treated as a mental patient, so he got up and left.
The woman looked at the man's back in the snow, feeling somewhat lonely and desolate, as if it had its own background music: snowflakes fluttering, the north wind howling, the world was vast and desolate...
At this time, she found that the man had dropped several things. When she picked them up, she found they were a mobile phone, a wallet and a household registration book.
Xu Jie walked to the door of his office and threw the Erguotou in his hand into the trash can. When he was about to take out his cell phone to check the time, he found that his pockets were empty. His cell phone, wallet, and household registration book were all gone.
Oops!
He carefully recalled the place he had just been to, and walked back step by step along the footprints. When he arrived at the park, he found that the woman was still there, so he ran over and asked quickly: "Hey, have you seen my..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw the woman raising something in her hand.
"I knew you would come back." The woman handed the thing she found to the man, "I found it on the chair. Be careful when you drink next time."
"Thank you." Xu Jie quickly took it and put it in his pocket.
"How do you have a photo with Tang Fei?" the woman suddenly asked.
After hearing this, Xu Jie was shocked and looked at the woman suspiciously.
The woman explained: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to sneak a peek at the photos in your phone. I just wanted to find some clues on how to contact you."
"Did you see everything?" Xu Jie frowned.
"Yeah." The woman nodded, stared at the man with interest and asked, "You don't want to kill me to silence me, do you?"
Xu Jie sat down and looked at the woman beside him. He didn't dare to kill her, but it was necessary to keep her mouth shut. So he took out his wallet from his pocket and took out all the cash inside. "Do me a favor and don't tell anyone."
The woman smiled after seeing it and said jokingly, "So little? Tang Fei is very popular now. If I tell the tabloid reporter that Tang Fei has a boyfriend, the price will at least increase several times."
Xu Jie gritted his teeth and said, "I can transfer the money to you via WeChat."
"Okay, I want one million!" The woman stretched out a finger.
Xu Jie stood up and asked, "Are you robbing?"
"Do you understand the law? This is called blackmail." The woman said, "Tang Fei now gets millions of dollars for each advertisement she takes. Why don't you give Tang Fei a call and discuss with her to see if this secret is worth a million dollars?"
Xu Jie clenched his fists tightly. He said he could not make this call no matter . Those who knew him said he was being blackmailed, while those who didn't would think he wanted hush money.
The woman looked at the man standing still, and after a while she said slowly: "Why, can't you take out the money? In fact, you don't have to take the money. As long as you tell me about you and Tang Fei, I promise not to spread it." As she spoke, she picked up a can of beer that Xu Jie had thrown there before, and looked over with interest.
"What are you doing?" Xu Jie asked.
"Listen to a story." The woman raised the beer in her hand and said with a smile: "You have a story and beer, I will leave after you finish."
The reporter opened the beer with a snap, lifted the mask from his chin and started drinking.
Xu Jie looked at the other person in surprise. Anyone who understands the plot of novels knows that if you fall off a cliff, a goddess will save you; if you get lost in the wilderness, a village girl will lead the way; if you retreat to a paradise, a beauty will accompany you; if you get drunk alone on the street, a sexy ghost will follow you. It seems that he has encountered a ghost tonight.
"Why should I believe you?" Xu Jie asked coldly.
"Because I'm more interested in stories than money. Otherwise, I would have taken your wallet and ran away. Why would I be sitting here waiting for you?" the woman said with a smile.
Xu Jie thought about it and it seemed to be true.
Forget it, just make up a story to deal with it. The thing journalists have the most is the ability to make up stories. Of course, they still have to pretend.
"Okay, I say, but you have to promise me not to tell anyone about what happened tonight, otherwise..."
Before Xu Jie could finish his words, the woman raised her hand and stretched out three fingers.
"Otherwise, I won't be able to find a boyfriend in my whole life, and even if I get married, I will be unlucky in marriage."
Xu Jie was speechless. She was so cruel to him that she even swore an oath on the life of her future husband. He vaguely saw the shadow of Jinlian in her.
Anyone who marries this woman will be unlucky for the rest of his life.
He sat down next to the woman, opened a can of beer and held it in his hand. After a while, he said in a deep voice, "Actually, Tang Fei is my sister."
"Stop!" the woman suddenly called out.
Xu Jie raised his eyebrows, and his emotions, which had just been brewing, were interrupted. He felt extremely unhappy.
The woman stared at Xu Jie without blinking, and asked in confusion, "Your last name is Xu, and Tang Fei's last name is Tang, so how could she be your sister?" After saying this, she gave him a look that said, "Are you sick?"
"Ah? You know me?" Xu Jie was surprised.
"do not know."
"Then how do you know my last name is Xu?" Xu Jie felt guilty and moved his butt to the side. Was he really encountering a female ghost?
"I've seen your household registration book," said the woman.
Xu Jie breathed a sigh of relief. He was not afraid of anyone as long as she was human. However, this woman was much smarter than she looked. He had been planning to make up a story to deal with it, but he didn't expect to be found out right from the start.
Well, stay calm. As long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
He began to use his professional expertise, and in an instant three or four explanations emerged in his mind.
You must not be timid or show weakness at this time. You should take advantage of the time when the woman is still confused and throw out the answer in a flash, giving her a surprise attack, so that she will feel ashamed and guilty: I'm sorry, it's my fault for doubting you.
"she is me……"
"Don't tell me you're my cousin." The woman interrupted Xu Jie again, staring into his eyes. "Don't tell me you're my adopted sister. Half-sisters, half-sisters, taking my mother's surname, or reconstituted families are all not allowed."
"Why not?" Xu Jie laid his cards on the table. He had only come up with a few reasons, but they were all rejected by the other party. How was he going to continue his story?
"Because I am a die-hard fan of Tang Fei, I know that her parents are alive and well, and she is the only daughter in the family and has no other relatives in Beijing, so don't try to lie to me," said the woman.
Xu Jie was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. Are you sure he is a die-hard fan and not here to check the household registration?
He took a sip of beer, the bitter taste lingering on his tongue. A penny can make a hero fail, let alone a million? Thinking that since the other party was a die-hard fan of Tang Fei, he would not deliberately discredit Tang Fei, so he spoke slowly.
"She and I were classmates in college..."
Xu Jie talked about himself and Tang Fei by picking and choosing as if he was buying vegetables in a supermarket.
In fact, they are just like millions of other contemporary college couples, except that they postponed their breakup after graduation by two years.
Looking back on this relationship now, it seems as if it was destined.
A relationship that has not been tempered by life cannot stand the test of life, especially when fame comes like a flood, the fragile dam will often be broken.
As for those enviable relationships that we see every day, most of them do not involve any solemn vows of eternal love. The so-called passion is just the fact that they can still be together after going through countless tests and tribulations.
Flowers bloom like a dream, wind passes without leaving a trace. Only by keeping your original intention in mind can you achieve your goal.
Before he knew it, the beer can was empty and Xu Jie had finished telling the story of himself and "her".
"Don't hold it back, just laugh at me as much as you want!"
He opened another can of beer, and besides helplessness, there was also a hint of self-mockery on his face. After all, being dumped by someone is not a glorious thing.
The woman, however, changed her previous aggressive attitude and unexpectedly did not mock or laugh. She just looked at Xu Jie infatuatedly, as if she was still immersed in the story.
The snowflakes fell on her eyelashes and quickly turned into water.
The woman rubbed her hands, and the look in her eyes became less targeting and more gentle.
"Don't be too sad. It doesn't matter whether you can make it to the end or not. You will have no regrets after experiencing life." The woman said gently, "Perhaps you have seen everything you are experiencing now before you came to this world. There must be something in this script that you cherish, so you chose to come to this world with this identity. Your life has just begun."
Xu Jie was stunned. The female robber suddenly turned into a literary young woman. He was so caught off guard that it was like a female monkey suddenly evolving into a human.
The woman felt embarrassed to be stared at, so she changed her sitting position and changed the subject: "By the way, you just said that even a big star like Su Yun would be in trouble if she married an ordinary person?"
"It wasn't me who said that. It was that old woman Liu Jinghua who said that."
Whenever Xu Jie thought of this person, he felt so angry that his teeth itched.
"No way?" The woman asked doubtfully, "Su Yun is known as the pop queen of the Chinese music scene. She has also participated in the filming of some TV dramas. Although she hasn't produced many works in the past two years and her appearance rate has also decreased, she is still a first-line female artist. If her fans stop following her just because she got married, I think this behavior is both childish and selfish. Real fans will definitely respect and bless her."
"I can't help it if you insist on saying that. As the old saying goes, different people have different tastes. Who doesn't have a few die-hard fans? Qin Hui also has followers." Xu Jie sneered twice, then sighed, "If it was as simple as you said, Tang Fei and I would have already obtained the marriage certificate by now."
Damn it, I even brought my household registration book.
After listening to this, the woman frowned and stared at the snow in a daze, as if she was thinking about something, and thinking very seriously.
As the sky gradually brightened, people and cars gradually appeared on the road.
Xu Jie still had to go to work today and had no time to chat here, so he stretched out his hand to the woman and said, "Give me back my wallet and phone."
The woman subconsciously reached into her collar, and suddenly stopped when a corner of her wallet was exposed. She turned to look at Xu Jie and asked, "Hey, can you do me a favor?"
"What favor? You don't want me to get a gym membership, or buy insurance or something like that?" Xu Jie narrowed his eyes, as if he had seen through everything.
"marry me."
"What?"
"I said, marry me!"
The woman repeated it again.
