Accidental Mark

【Accidental Mark · Chapter 42】

From the moment Mr. Pei opened the door, Zhou Yan felt that her existence seemed to be superfluous.Boss Pei and Cheng Xia met each other's eyes, and she felt like sitting on pins and needles between them. Zhou Yan simply found an excuse and slipped away: "Boss Pei, Cheng Xia, you two talk first, I'll go buy you some breakfast."

Zhou Yan passed by Boss Pei, and Pei Shaoze looked at her, and said in a low voice, "It was hard work watching Cheng Xia last night. The matter has been resolved. You can go back to rest after buying breakfast, and someone else will take care of Cheng Xia." .”

Zhou Yan nodded hastily: "Alright Mr. Pei, I'll let Sister Rong come and take care of her."

After she left, Pei Shaoze walked directly to Cheng Xia's hospital bed. Seeing that Cheng Xia's face had improved a lot, he was not as pale as when he saw him yesterday, he finally felt relieved and sat beside Cheng Xia's bed.

Cheng Xia cared softly: "Mr. Pei, did you not sleep last night?"

Alpha doesn't seem to be in good spirits. After staying up all night, there are sporadic stubbles on his chin. When he spoke just now, his voice was thick and hoarse. His throat seemed to be ground by sandpaper, and his throat was obviously very dry.In order to find out the truth, he changed his plane ticket overnight and rushed back to Rongcheng, not to mention, he also stayed up all night to submit evidence to the police station.

The exhausted Alpha made Cheng Xia feel a little distressed, and hurriedly picked up the water glass on the bedside table, handed it to Pei Shaoze, and said seriously: "Drink a glass of water first, this is the new glass that Sister Yan poured for me just now. , I haven't drunk it."

Pei Shaoze couldn't help curling his mouth: "You are a patient, I came to see you, why did you hand me water instead?"

Cheng Xia's ears turned red, and she stubbornly stuffed the water glass into Pei Shaoze's hand: "Your voice is hoarse, drink some water to moisten your throat first."

Pei Shaoze didn't refuse. He had been busy all night, and his throat was indeed dry. The temperature of the water Cheng Xia handed him was just right, and he took it and took several sips in a row.After working all night in the cold wind last night, my body was almost frozen to the point of losing consciousness. Now, with warm water entering my throat, my limbs and bones are gradually warming up, and my heart seems to be warming up too.

He drank up a glass of water, then put the glass back on the bedside table, looked at Cheng Xia, and asked gently like a parent: "How is the wound, does it feel better?"

Cheng Xia smiled brightly: "It's much better, and the wound doesn't hurt anymore. Dr. Qin came to see me this morning, and he said, rest for two more days, and I can leave the hospital after the stitches are removed."

Pei Shaoze was completely relieved now: "That's good."

He was silent for a moment, then suddenly said in a low voice: "Who is the person who hurt you, Zhou Yan has already told you?"

Last night, the entire production crew was in a turmoil. In the end, Pei Shaoze asked the mastermind behind the little gangster. Everyone saw it when he sent the little gangster to the police force. Director Liu must have notified Zhou Yan, and Cheng Xia also Will know immediately.

But Pei Shaoze only told the police about Zhao Wenxiu's motive for committing the crime, and the crew only knew that the gangster was instructed by Cheng Xia's former manager Zhao Wenxiu, but everyone was still at a loss as to why.Everyone guessed that it was probably because Zhao Wenxiu and Cheng Xia didn't get along well, President Pei drove Zhao Wenxiu out of Tianxuan, Zhao Wenxiu held a grudge, so he took revenge on Cheng Xia.

As for the fact that Cheng Xia climbed onto the boss's bed, it is still not made public.

Hearing the other party's question, Cheng Xia nodded, took out his mobile phone, found Zhao Wenxiu who had been blocked, showed Pei Shaoze the previous chat records, and guessed: "Maybe I scolded him and blocked him, Zhao Wenxiu wants to take revenge on me."

Pei Shaoze's eyes darkened: "I don't blame you for this matter, it's because I didn't handle it well. When Zhao Wenxiu was kicked out of Tianxuan, I should have thought that a person like him with low means and evil intentions would definitely He will smear you behind his back. This time he was negligent and almost let him succeed... Did you freak out last night?"

Cheng Xia hurriedly shook her head: "It's okay, am I fine?"

Facing the boy's relaxed smile, Pei Shaoze couldn't help reaching out and gently touching Cheng Xia's head, saying: "You are an auspicious person with a natural appearance, but luckily you had a false alarm last night, don't worry, I will strictly control the crew members in the future." , it won’t happen again.”

Cheng Xia's cheeks were hot from the touch.He found that he seemed to like Mr. Pei's gentle touch more and more. Alpha's slender fingers gently slid over the hair, and the gentle touch made Cheng Xia enjoy it as if he had been smoothed.

This is completely different from the feeling of being touched by his father when he was a child. His father made Cheng Xia trust and depend on him, but Mr. Pei made his heart beat like a drum and his breath short of breath. He even wanted to get closer to each other and monopolize him...

[Cheng Xia's favorability towards you +1]

[Cheng Xia's favorability towards you +1]

When I visited last night, my favorability rose to 80 in one breath, and today it actually increased by 5 points, reaching 85.

Noticing that the young man was very obedient sitting on the bed, Pei Shaoze softened his heart a little, withdrew his hand, and continued, "By the way, because I have submitted a series of evidence of Zhao Wenxiu's crimes to the police, including the fact that he drugged your juice and joined forces with the police. The surveillance video of the driver sending you to the car, this afternoon, the police may come to the hospital to ask you for questioning, please cooperate when the time comes."

Cheng Xia was stunned: "Does President Pei want to be held accountable for what happened last time?"

Pei Shaoze looked resolute: "Of course we must be held accountable to the end. I consulted a lawyer last night, because you were slightly injured this time with a knife, Zhao Wenxiu's sentence will not be too severe. If he illegally bought pheromone release agents before , secretly drugging you, forcing you to be marked by a strange Alpha, etc., the lawyer can let him stay in prison for several years."

Different from the gentleness just now, when Zhao Wenxiu was mentioned, Pei Shaoze's eyes became obviously cold and sharp: "If you keep this kind of rat in the gutter, there will be endless troubles. Maybe one day it will pop up again and bite you."

Cheng Xia agreed: "Boss Pei is right. He should take responsibility for what he did wrong. He can be honest only by squatting in prison. Don't worry, I will cooperate with the police investigation. If I need to testify in court , I can also come forward."

When Pei Shaoze heard this, his eyes softened: "Considering your reputation, this case will not be heard publicly."

After all, if an Omega climbed onto Alpha's bed, even if Alpha didn't mark him, it would still attract people's suspicion and suspicion. Moreover, Cheng Xia, the web drama invested by Pei Shaoze, is the leading actor. Or Mr. Pei gave him unspoken rules, and Mr. Pei spent money on online dramas for him?

Pei Shaoze didn't want Cheng Xia's efforts to be marked with the word "hidden rules", and he didn't want netizens to look at him with colored glasses. Cases involving Omega being marked in the ABO world can be tried in private, which can minimize the impact.

Cheng Xia felt Mr. Pei's thoughtfulness, and his heart was warm.

It feels so good to be cared and cared for by an adult Alpha. He used to think that most Alphas were annoying. Taking advantage of his height and physical strength, there are countless Omegas who bully and even look down on Omega. It is Alpha who respects Omega's ideas like Mr. Pei This is a clear stream of rare animals!

Never give up Mr. Pei to others.

Cheng Xia thought to himself, Boss Pei almost confessed now, maybe it's because Boss Pei's personality is relatively reserved, and Boss Pei is too embarrassed to say something too straightforward like "I like you"?

It doesn't matter, find a suitable time, and it's the same to tell him yourself.At that time, if Mr. Pei is too embarrassed to tag him, then he will take the initiative to tag Mr. Pei?

Cheng Xia's heart pounded wildly, and she already thought of marking that step...

However, Pei Shaoze seriously treated Cheng Xia as a child, and found that Cheng Xia's face had regained its former vitality, his cheeks were slightly red, his eyes were bright, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

He smiled slightly, and patiently said: "The production team, I told Director Liu that the venue of the Seventeenth High School is borrowed until February 2th, and there are still five days left. Finish the other people's scenes in the first three days. You heal your injury, and focus on reshooting your scenes in the last two days."

Cheng Xia recalled the script carefully, and said: "The rest seems to be my rivalry with Shen Kai? My personal drama and the rivalry with Ye Mingqian have already been filmed before."

Thanks to the tacit cooperation between Cheng Xia and Ye Mingqian, Director Liu finished filming their rivalry scene in winter ahead of schedule, leaving only Cheng Xia and Shen Kai's scenes.But the remaining scenes all involve Qin Nian's emotional changes towards Lu Fengyang, which are more difficult to grasp.

Cheng Xia was a little worried: "Is two days enough? I remember that Qin Nian has already fallen in love with Lu Fengyang for the rest of the play. I'm afraid that I won't cooperate well with Shen Kai, and the progress of the crew will be delayed if the mood is not in place. "

The production crew only borrowed the venue for about ten days, and the time was already tight, but this kind of thing happened to the lead actor Cheng Xia, which made the situation even worse.If Cheng Xia and Shen Kai can't cooperate, can't act out the "secret love" feeling of secretly admiring each other, and the most critical part is not filmed well, then it will be a complete failure, and the whole drama will leave regrets.

Pei Shaoze thought for a moment, and suggested: "When a newcomer actor can't get into the play, you can use the method of association, for example, in a crying scene, you think of the special grievances you have encountered in reality, and you cry after thinking about it. When acting as a couple, you imagine the other party as the person you like, and you can act well naturally with emotions and actions."

When he said this, he asked again: "By the way, have you ever liked anyone?"

The original book did not mention whether Cheng Xia had a crush in high school, but only knew that Cheng Xia loved Pei Shaoze very deeply in his later years, and hated him deeply.Now that Cheng Xia is in front of him, Pei Shaoze also wants to know about the relationship history of the little seedling he raised.

When Cheng Xia heard this question, her ears turned red instantly, she lowered her head and said, "Yes, yes."

Pei Shaoze is like an old father who hears his child say that he likes someone, and his mood is quite complicated. On the one hand, he thinks that Cheng Xia will like others when he grows up?On the other hand, I felt that the cabbage I had managed to raise couldn't just be kicked by pigs.

He raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Who is it, can you tell me?"

Cheng Xia: "..."

Mr. Pei must have done it on purpose, just to tease him!

Cheng Xia blushed: "Pei, Mr. Pei..."

Pei Shaoze coughed lightly: "Okay, this is your private matter, I won't ask any more. Since there is someone you like, you can try your best to associate Shen Kai as the person you like when the time comes. I believe that with your ability It's not too difficult to act out Qin Nian's crush on Lu Fengyang."

Cheng Xia nodded: "Yes."

It means that when acting, it's right to imagine the "person you have a crush on" as Mr. Pei.
