Chapter 20: The Risk of Impersonation

  Finally moved.

  Although Jia Yuan community is much better than the previous civil house in all aspects, Tang Xiaosheng feels a bit awkward.

  That cramped and dirty little house, he had lived for six years, with some feelings. In those six years, he had been struggling for his actor dream, while the little house recorded all his efforts and sacrifices.

  He had long been accustomed to practicing acting alone in the room, accustomed to the messy layout of the room, and even accustomed to seeing mice and cockroaches coming and going in the room.

  Now, everything has changed.

  This new home would no longer have swarms of mice or cockroaches, all the furniture was neatly arranged, and he would no longer be alone.

  The appearance of Little Dragon Girl and Guo Xiang brought about a huge change in his life. Suddenly, there were two beautiful women by his side, with such an intimate relationship, he was still a bit unaccustomed to it.

  It's not just unaccustomed, but even a little fearful.

  As the saying goes, if you don't do anything shameful, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. The problem is that Tang Xiaosheng is currently doing something shameful - he's impersonating Yang Guo and deceiving Little Dragon Girl, which is obviously not a righteous or kind act. Although being able to live with Little Dragon Girl is a very blissful thing, things aren't that simple.

  Guo Xiang had crossed over, and Little Dragon Maiden had also crossed over. Tang Xiao Sheng couldn't help but weakly think, would Yang Guo have crossed over too? Every time he thought of this question, his back would involuntarily feel a chill.

  Imagine if Yang Guo also time-traveled and found out that Tang Xiao Sheng was impersonating him while flirting with Little Dragon Girl, what would Yang Guo's reaction be?

  Tang Xiaosheng thinks there are at least three possibilities:

  Yang Guo used a move from the "Somber Soul Palm" and slapped Tang Xiaosheng into a pulp.

  Secondly, Yang Guo used a move from the "Mysterious Iron Sword Technique" and split Tang Xiaosheng in half with one sword.

  Third, Yang Guo used a move from "Divine Flicking Finger", and with a loud crack, shot through Tang Xiaosheng's brow.

  No matter which one, in short, Tang Xiao Sheng is doomed to die. Thinking of these things, he can't be calm. It's just that even so, he can only continue to impersonate Yang Guo. Because if he confesses his fake identity to Little Dragon Girl now, he may die even faster.

  Things have come to this point, he can only make two-handed preparations. On the one hand, continue to interact with Little Dragon Girl as Yang Guo's identity, on the other hand, be prepared to respond to Yang Guo's appearance at any time.

  If Yang Guo really appeared, Tang Xiaosheng would tell him the whole story and explain that he was also pretending to be his identity for survival. Yang Guo is a person who can distinguish right from wrong, and I believe he will understand Tang Xiaosheng's difficulties and let him off at that time.

  Of course, there is a prerequisite that before Yang Guo appears, Tang Xiao Sheng cannot have overly intimate behavior with Little Dragon Girl. If the rice has already been cooked, then no matter how you explain it, Yang Guo will definitely not forgive him.

  Tang Xiao Sheng thus made up his mind, if Little Dragon Maiden wanted to share a bed with him, he would resolutely refuse. If Little Dragon Maiden wanted to do intimate things with him, he also couldn't agree. Although this was really difficult, it wasn't certain yet whether Yang Guo had also crossed over, so in order to protect himself, he could only endure the pain and cut off his "love" for now.

  He was still a bit worried after making this decision. If Little Dragon Girl really proposed to sleep with him, how could he refuse? For women, sex is an expression of love, and refusing sex is equivalent to refusing love. If Little Dragon Girl really wanted to sleep with him but was rejected, she would inevitably be heartbroken.

  How to reject her without hurting her feelings is a highly technical question, and Tang Xiaosheng had been pondering it for half a day without figuring it out.

  Fortunately, Little Dragon Girl did not make any demands for sleeping in the same bed with him, nor did she make any demands for sleeping in different beds. She said nothing.

  It was past nine in the evening, and Tang Xiaosheng felt a bit tired. He had gone out to buy a rooster, rent a house, buy a guitar, and ride a bicycle, and he was exhausted. The current house was a two-bedroom one-living room apartment, with Guo Xiang sleeping in one room, Little Dragon Girl sleeping in another, so he could only sleep in the living room.

  Little Dragon Girl only needed a rope to sleep, not a bed. She suggested that Tang Xiao Sheng sleep in the bedroom while she set up a rope in the living room to sleep. However, Tang Xiao Sheng did not agree with her idea. As a man, he always felt that letting a woman sleep in the living room while he slept in the bedroom was too unmanly.

  The little dragon girl was stubborn but ultimately had no choice but to give up.

  XXX

  One o'clock in the middle of the night, in the bedroom.

  A white rope hung horizontally inside the room, and the little dragon girl lay quietly on the white rope, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

  She has something on her mind.

  A moment later, she lightly jumped up and landed steadily on the ground, then walked out of the bedroom with slow steps.

  When she arrived at the living room, she stopped in her tracks and gazed at Tang Xiaosheng who was lying naked on the sofa, sleeping soundly, and then looked at the humming electric fan beside him, unable to help but smile slightly at this comical scene.

  She swept a glance and found that Guo Xiang's bedroom light was still on, seemingly still awake, so she gently pushed the door open.

  "Xiang'er, why haven't you slept yet?" As soon as she entered the bedroom, Little Dragon Girl saw Guo Xiang sitting on the bed, holding the wooden guitar that Tang Xiaosheng had given her, slowly playing a scale.

  Seeing Little Dragon Girl come in, Guo Xiang put down her guitar and said: "Dragon sister, you're still awake too?"

  Little Dragon Girl nodded and walked up quietly, sat down beside her and asked: "Xiang Er, Long Jie wants to ask you something."

  "What's wrong?"

  "Do you really think Tang Xiaosheng is your big brother?"

  Guo Xiang was taken aback and asked in a childish voice: "Long Jie, are you still doubting Big Brother's identity until now?"

  Xiao Long Nu let out a soft sigh and said faintly: "I don't know myself, I just feel that he's a bit strange."

  Actually, even now, Little Dragon Girl's memory has only recovered a small part, and these memories are also somewhat fragmented. She herself can't remember what the real Yang Guo was like, with only some scattered fragments related to Yang Guo in her mind, just remembering that Yang Guo seemed to love her very much, and she also loved Yang Guo very much. Apart from this, other information about Yang Guo is vague and incomplete.

  It was precisely because of this that when facing Tang Xiao Sheng, Little Dragon Maiden also did not know how to distinguish, and did not know whether she should believe the person in front of her was Yang Guo.

  "Dragon sister, maybe it's because big brother doesn't look as handsome as he used to, and you're not used to seeing him like this. Once you get used to it, you'll definitely think he's big brother."

  Little Dragon Girl smiled faintly and asked: "Xiang Er, how did you confirm that Tang Xiao Sheng is your elder brother again?"

  "Because he remembers my birthday."

  XXX

  Early morning.

  Tang Xiaosheng slowly opened his eyes, stretched his waist, and then sat up from the sofa, just about to go wash up.

  "Tang Xiaosheng, why are you impersonating Yang Guo?"

  At this moment, he suddenly found that Little Dragon Girl was already standing in front of him, holding a sharp kitchen knife and solemnly asking.

  Tang Xiaosheng's heart sank, and he weakly asked: "Long Er, what are you doing?"

  Little Dragon Girl didn't give him a good look, coldly saying: "Tang Xiaosheng, stop pretending to be garlic, you're not Yang Guo at all! You've been deceiving me for so long and taken advantage of me so much. If I don't kill you today, it's hard to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

  Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaosheng's back grew cold and his forehead was covered in cold sweat. He couldn't understand how he had been exposed. Looking at Little Dragon Girl's demeanor, it seemed as if she wanted to kill him.

  Things have come to this, he can't afford to care about many things. To save his life, he quickly played the emotional card and said with deep feeling: "Long'er, I love you!"

  "Don't lie to me again, you're not even a good son!"

  "Long'er, I really love you." Tang Xiao Sheng once again confessed nakedly.

  Unfortunately, Little Dragon Maiden was unmoved, coldly shouting "Too late!" and with a swing of the kitchen knife in her hand, she unleashed a move from the Jade Maiden Kitchen Knife Technique, flashing towards his chest like lightning.

  "Dragon son, don't!"

  "Ah——"

  ……

  With a sudden movement, Tang Xiaosheng abruptly sat up from the sofa, his forehead covered in sweat, panting heavily, and subconsciously glanced at his chest. He was stunned for a moment, then muttered to himself in confusion: "I... I'm not dead yet?"

  "What's wrong with you, boy?"

  A sweet and lovely female voice came over, Tang Xiaosheng looked up to find that Little Dragon Girl and Guo Xiang were sitting on the sofa edge, staring at him.

  He calmed down and sorted out his chaotic thoughts. After a moment, he finally understood the situation. It turned out that the scene of Little Dragon Girl killing him with a kitchen knife was just a dream.

  It's okay, just a dream.

  At this time, Little Dragon Girl gently wiped away the cold sweat from his forehead and asked with concern: "Xiao Guo, did you have a nightmare?"

  Tang Xiaosheng nodded.

  Guo Xiang walked over, chuckled and curiously asked: "Big brother, what were you just dreaming about? The dream talk you had, both I and Long sister heard it."

  Tang Xiaosheng's heart tightened: "Did I just talk in my sleep?"

  Guo Xiang nodded and said, "You did say it, and you said it very loudly. Just now, you kept shouting 'Long Er, I love you', 'Long Er, I really love you', 'Long Er, don't go' and so on. Big brother, what kind of dream did you have?"

  Upon hearing this, Xiaolongnv's pale face turned slightly red, and she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in the face of such a frank confession.

  Tang Xiaosheng let out a slight sigh of relief, fortunately, his own nonsense was still somewhat reliable, he said what he should say and didn't say what he shouldn't.

  He naturally wouldn't say what happened in the nightmare, so he made up another story to fool her. He turned around and lied to Little Dragon Girl, saying: "Dragon girl, I just dreamed that you were standing on the Broken Heart Cliff of the Valley of No Return, ready to jump off. I called out to you desperately, but it seemed like you couldn't hear me, and you still jumped..."

  At this point, Tang Xiaosheng unexpectedly discovered that Little Dragon Girl's eyes were slightly red, and the corners of her eyes were already moist. He asked with concern, "Long'er, what's wrong?"

  "I'm fine."

  She looked like this, where did it seem like nothing, Tang Xiaosheng said: "Long'er, if there's something on your mind, just say it out loud, don't keep it hidden."

  "I really have nothing to do." Little Dragon Girl was silent for a while, and then said slowly, "Over the past few months, I haven't heard from you at all. I thought you hadn't crossed over. There were several times when I wanted to jump off a high building, to end this torturous longing once and for all."

  Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaosheng suddenly understood everything. Little Dragon Girl must have recalled her past experiences of unrequited love and desperation after hearing his fabricated dream, and couldn't help but be emotionally moved.

  He slowly comforted him: "Long'er, don't have such foolish thoughts again. With or without me, you must live well."

  Little Dragon Girl shook her head: "If you're not here, what's the point of me living alone?"

  Tang Xiao Sheng was taken aback, it seemed that for Little Dragon Girl, Yang Guo was the only person she cared about in her life, and even the meaning of her existence. Without Yang Guo, she might not have wanted to live another day.

  In this way, Tang Xiao Sheng felt that impersonating Yang Guo was also a good deed, at least giving Little Dragon Girl a glimmer of hope for life.

  However, he kept reminding himself that no matter what, he couldn't sleep with Little Dragon Girl.
