Kong Si stared at the broccoli for a long time, trying to make a final struggle: “Can I not eat it?”

The thing he hated the most was this kind of stuff. If it wasn´t because Lu Yi liked it, and it was healthier and nutritious, he wouldn’t buy it for cooking.

Lu Yi didn’t say whether he could or couldn’t. He glanced at him and said nothing. In the end, Kong Si still ate the broccoli, which was similar to poison to him, and spurned himself while eating. Obviously, the last sentence was not important at all, why say it, really cheap.

He didn’t think it was important, but Lu Yi thought it was very important. Kong Si didn’t have the original memory, so he didn’t know that in the original trajectory, what He Xiao said was indeed the truth.

What did this mean? It meant that He Xiao may have been reborn, or that people from two parallel worlds have exchanged.

In the past, he didn’t believe in ghosts and supernatural phenomena, but since he could encounter such things, there was nothing impossible in the world.

But with just one sentence, it would be too hasty to confirm that He Xiao was reborn.

His eyes moved back to Kong Si’s face: “How do you feel these days at home?”

Kong Si was concentrating on dealing with the shrimp in the bowl. He didn’t lift his head when he heard Lu Yi’s words: “It still feels pretty good, what’s wrong?”

Although he had not received any endorsements before, he had been shooting various movies and TV series almost uninterruptedly, and he had never been able to catch his breath. After the termination of the contract with Xingchen Entertainment, he rested for a while.

In the first few days, he was like a salted fish1. He really didn’t do anything, just rested. But he was not really someone who could stay idle, so he just took advantage of this time to start thinking about things that he had always wanted to do before.

“Do you remember the dessert I made you eat the other day?”

Lu Yi nodded, his expression slightly subtle: “Of course I remember, which store did you buy it from, I feel that the chef’s performance is very unstable.”

When he came home these few days, he always had steaming meals and all kinds of delicate desserts to eat, but he didn’t like sweets very much, so it basically got into Kong Si’s stomach.

Kong Si used his chopsticks to poke the soft meat of the peeled shrimp with his chopsticks.

He was under a lot of pressure before filming, and his social account was under the management of the company, and he vented a lot of things on the trumpet. Maybe it was too interesting to complain, and inexplicably, a large number of fans were raised.

These days at home, he went to buy a lot of ingredients to cook every day, but unfortunately most of his attempts failed. Then he took pictures of the production process and failed dishes and posted them on Weibo, which was unexpectedly very popular.

Although he was not as good as himself as a star, but after a few years of business, he was also a small internet celebrity with hundreds of thousands of fans.

“I think I have one more thing to confess to you… those desserts you eat are not made by some new chef, I made them.”

Lu Yi glanced at the kitchen: “But it’s very clean, and I didn’t see any materials for making pastries.”

“The materials are all in the cabinet, of course you didn’t see it. Every time I finish, I will clean up the mess.”

He basically did it when Lu Yi was away. If he failed, he would take a picture first, then bag the garbage, and pack it up and throw it in the trash before Lu Yi returned home.

Kong Si continued: “So you don’t have to worry. I learned a lot during the training. If I can’t become a food blogger, I can still be a soul painter or a piano teacher.”

Lu Yi’s hand paused: “You seem to like art very much.”

He said affirmative sentences, not interrogative sentences.

Kong Si didn’t think too much: “Yeah, it seems like I was born like this. When I was a child, I won the first prize in the city youth competition in the painting competition. Performance is also a kind of art, isn’t it?”

“You’re right, there’s a show that I want you to try.”

Kong Si looked blank: “What is it?”

After Lu Yi finished eating, he arranged the tableware and chopsticks neatly, and wiped off the oil stains on the corners of his mouth with a tissue. He looked at Kong Si and his partner: “It’s about He Xiao, I hope you can meet him. Keep in touch so I can hear what I want from him.”

Kong Si didn’t realize what Lu Yi said and wrote at first, but after a while, he realized that he didn’t even bother to eat the unfinished shrimp in the bowl, and slapped the table angrily: “Lu Yi, what are you doing? What do you mean! You kept telling me to stay away from He Xiao before, but now it’s alright, you actually asked me to get in touch with a person who has a coveted heart for me, now you have to make it clear, otherwise I will never end with you!”

After all, the two have been married for several years, and during this period, it was not that no one had shown goodwill to him or Lu Yi.

After all, Lu Yi was young and handsome, and he was the largest shareholder of a huge media group. Even if he was married, he was young, and in a place where there were so many handsome men and women in the entertainment industry, all kinds of temptations were inevitable.

But after all these three years, the relationship between them had not faded. But he didn’t expect that Lu Yi would come up with such a bad idea, which really made him feel chills.

“It’s not what you think.” If possible, he didn’t want He Xiao to appear in his and Kong Si’s life again, but what Kong Si said couldn’t make him ignore it.

After deliberation, he said, “Before this, I had a dream that He Xiao married you, and you both lived happily.”

Ordinary people simply wouldn’t believe that rebirth or transmigration would happen to them, and Lu Yi didn’t intend to explain his origins completely.

Sometimes the truth hurts more. After thinking about it, it is more appropriate to take dreams as an example. After all, many people believe that dreams have the ability to predict.

Kong Si showed an even more unbelievable expression: “It’s just a dream, just for this, you let me agree to see He Xiao?”

Lu Yi explained, “Although it’s a dream, that might have happened in the first place, right?”

Before Kong Si spoke, he continued: “Actually, it’s not impossible for me to contact him on your behalf, or someone else, using your account, as long as they don’t meet, he has no way to know who is behind it, right?”

He paused, then said: “But if it’s really what he said, he should know you very well. In terms of details, the person who replaces it can easily get in the way. I didn’t ask you to see him. Well, I just hope that you don’t cut off contact with him, and you can just talk to him with your own attitude.”

More precisely, it was a cliché. He didn’t need the other party to reveal too much information, and he didn’t need Kong Si to waste too much time on the other party. As long as he confirmed that the other party was really the reborn He Xiao who killed Lu Xingchen, if he could take revenge, he would definitely take revenge. He wouldn´t be soft-hearted.

Hearing him say that, Kong Si felt a little better. But at this time, he didn’t have any mind to eat delicious food, and wiped his mouth casually: “What happened in that dream? Do you have a grudge against him? And me and you, what happened?”

Lu Yi closed his eyes and tried to recall the nightmares he had a long time ago about Lu Xingchen’s ending: “Do you remember, I had frequent nightmares for a while?”

Kong Si nodded: “I remember, of course I remember.”

At that time, Lu Yi’s nightmare lasted for nearly half a month. At that time, he even took Lu Yi to see a doctor and tried to make him various soothing herbal teas. Although it had been nearly a year, he still remembered everything about Lu Yi, let alone this unusual situation.

“I had nightmares about this, I dreamed…” He paused, then continued, “I dreamed that I was sent to 409 by an agent, and at the time I had no idea it happened. What, when I woke up the next morning, I found myself being slept by a man, and I was naked and exposed to countless spotlights. That was the first time I made the headlines, but it was because of pornographic photos. He Xiao’s fans were very angry at the time. For the sake of He Xiao’s reputation, his company decided to use me at that time to block the gun…”

Lu Yi’s voice was low and gentle, like the melodious sound of a cello. His voice was also very calm, but this calm and objective way of speaking made Kong Si feel more and more terrifying.

He even wanted Lu Yi to stop talking, because just thinking about that scene made him very sad. But a very strange emotion drove him to finish hearing the fate of Lu Xingchen.

Hearing the end, he couldn’t help defending himself and said, “If the world in the dream is really what you said, the Kong Si who is with He Xiao is definitely not me.”

He looked at Lu Yi: “You hate He Xiao, but because he hasn’t done any real harm, or in other words, he hasn’t hurt you like in Lu Xingchen’s memory, so even if you hate him, you haven’t done anything to him to the same degree, right?”

Lu Yi didn’t say a word, acquiescing to what he said.

Kong Si said: “What you said to me today is really incredible.”

Although it was just a dream, he knew Lu Yi’s character very well, and the other party would not be someone who would easily make up stories.

“I’ll help you contact He Xiao to verify whether what he said is true or not, but before that, let me finish this meal.” He was a little stimulated today and needed to slow down.

After the two discussed it, Kong Si released He Xiao’s new number from the blacklist and called back.

He was still cold to the other party’s voice: “What’s the matter with the nonsense you said to me before?”

He Xiao heard the familiar voice, and his emotions suddenly became aroused. He stepped on the cold floor tiles with his bare feet, trying to calm himself down. After thinking about it, he continued to ask, “Kong Si, do you believe in past and present lives?”

Kong Si replied coldly with three words: “I don’t believe it, don’t talk nonsense with me. You said earlier that Lu Yi was supposed to be a dead person. What happened?”

He Xiao looked at himself in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. This was himself from ten years ago. He had a young and handsome skin, but his haggard appearance, simple clothes, and the slender and long scar from the corner of his eyes to the corner of his mouth have destroyed his perfect image.

He hated the little actor named Lu Xingchen very much: “Lu Xingchen drugged himself, and then ran into my room to try to seduce me, but he also poured dirty water on me, but I didn’t expect that it would not work, On the contrary, he was exposed, his own mental ability was poor, and he committed suicide because he couldn’t bear the abuse from those people.”

He Xiao went on to say: “You are also an actor. Which star is not scolded every day? If you can’t bear the pressure in this industry, you should quit early. The consequences of being attacked should be done well.”

Kong Si was originally very angry, but when he heard a certain sentence from He Xiao, he laughed out loud: “What did you just say, he seduced you?!”

What a joke, someone like Lu Yi, seducing others.

He Xiao said a lot of what Kong Si told him later, some secrets that he had never mentioned to others. When Kong Si was silent, he continued: “You and I are the original legal partners, the Lu Yi by your side it’s just a fake and shoddy product. It’s very likely that he also has some memories of his past life, and he’s with you, just for revenge.”

He paused for a while, and then said: “Anyway, I hope you can live happily. You quit the entertainment circle now, did he force you, if you want, I think I can complete your you dream.”

Kong Si was silent for a while, just when He Xiao thought he was persuaded by him, Kong Si suddenly scolded in his native dialect.

The two grew up in the same city, so of course He Xiao understood what the other was scolding.

After scolding, Kong Si continued: “I said, He Xiao, how can you have such a big face? You neither please me nor my man, why should I help you? Why do you want to help me? Fulfill my dream? The matter of quitting the circle is my decision from beginning to end, and he respects my decision, that’s all. If I really have to be sorry, I am sorry for Lu Yi.”

He went on to say: “I don’t care if you have a delusional disorder or something else, I sympathize with you about your car accident, but if you do wrong, you do wrong. You put all the blame on others, what kind of man are you?”

As far as He Xiao’s logical thinking was concerned, Kong Si could be sure that if the situation that Lu Yi said really occurred, He Xiao would definitely not take the responsibility, but will push others out without hesitation.

Such a refined egoist, he would only be with this kind of person if he had water in his head. He refused to admit that the love person with He Xiao would be his Kong Si.

“Even if I was really with you in my last life, it would definitely be a grudge.”

He hung up the phone, and then pressed the recording stop button. It wasn’t because he was too careful, but because he was tricked twice, especially when facing people like He Xiao, he had to be more careful.

Over there, He Xiao hung up the phone and kicked the table angrily.

Nothing useful was recorded, editing was not easy, and he was scolded for nothing.

From being a movie king to a million-dollar movie king, to the point of being down and out, he absolutely refused to admit it.

He Xiao felt that if Lu Yi was able to succeed, 80% of it was because the little star had also been reborn.

He looked like this now, there must be no way to get along in the entertainment industry. Gritting his teeth, he decided to do something else. There was no reason for the little artist Lu Xingchen to succeed.

Hanging up the phone, he began to think of another way out. Kong Si hesitated for a long time, but decided to tell Lu Yi: “That He Xiao, it is indeed very likely that he dreamed the same as you.”

Lu Yi nodded: “I see.”

Kong Si said: “Although he is a scum, we can’t do things that violate the law, right?”

He just hoped that Lu Yi could let go of his heart.

Kong Si was afraid that Lu Yi would be blinded by hatred and do stupid things.

Lu Yi smiled: “You don’t have to worry about this, I won’t.”

As far as He Xiao’s character was concerned, he had broken away from the glamorous idol halo, but he still had the temperament of an idol. In all likelihood, it won’t be a good day. All he had to do was push He Xiao on the way to his death and let the other party rush to the street earlier.

As he expected, He Xiao did not go on the right path. He was a person who was eager for quick success, and he was extremely loving of those glamorous lives.

There was no way for his face to get involved in the entertainment industry, so he sold his house and went abroad for plastic surgery.

In fact, He Xiao didn’t want to sell the house either, but he didn’t have the money, and as a star, he wouldn’t deliberately remember the numbers of the grand prizes. The only investments that had a big impact had already passed, and he wasn’t lucky enough to earn that kind of money.

After returning from plastic surgery, he planned to use his own strength to make a big splash in the circle and walk towards the road of success in killing the Quartet2. What he didn’t even think about was that he failed, and he failed completely.
