Chapter 5 , Mentioned Xiao Senxu’s name
Chapter 101
If Zuqi really wants to go home, he will get into Joe Yiyang’s car without any kind of courtesy, but now he doesn’t want to go back, so he tactfully refuses, “Thank you, I’ll take a taxi.”
“When did you become so polite?” Joey Yang smiled, then paused, and then said, “Aren’t you trying to avoid suspicion…”
Zu Qi was confused: “Avoid what you suspect?”
The smile on Qiao Yiyang’s face gradually became meaningful: “After all, we are also the people who have been rumored.”
“…”
Zuqi knew that Joe Yiyang was referring to those CP fans on Weibo, but he never took those things to heart. Many little girls like to force two actors together these days, and he mixes up on Weibo. It’s been a long time since I was embarrassed when I saw some fan pictures and stories.
Before Zu Qi could respond, the director of the front program group suddenly called Joe Yiyang. Joe Yiyang took a deep look at Zu Qi, and then speeded up his pace and walked forward.
It can be seen that the director of the program group likes Joe Yiyang very much, and he also left Joe Yiyang’s phone number and WeChat, and invited him to come out for dinner next time.
Taking advantage of the gap in their chat, Zu Qi greeted everyone and took a taxi and left.
On the way to the coffee shop, Zu Qi dialed Duan Kai’s phone and learned that they had received a call from Mr. Wang just after they left two hours ago, saying that they wanted them to return to the company quickly.
So the fake return to the company became the real return to the company.
“A paparazzi secretly took a video of you eating with Joe Yiyang, and recorded your conversation clearly.” Duan Kai’s tone was deep, and he seemed to be in a bad mood. “They offered a price of 50,000 and asked Mr. Wang to buy it. ”
Zu Qi was shocked: “When did it happen?”
Duan Kai replied: “Years ago.”
Hearing this, Zu Qi suddenly remembered that when he and Joe Yiyang went to make a string, he accidentally saw a messy footprint under the window next to him. It turned out that it was really a paparazzi squatting.
But Zu Qi couldn’t understand. The innocence between him and Joe Yiyang, and the content of the conversation is also very normal. Where can the confidence of those paparazzi be able to sell for a high price of 50,000 yuan from Mr. Wang?
“I remember that time.” Zu Qi explained, “Qiao Yiyang and I are just ordinary friends. We talked about sparse and common things and didn’t say anything bad about anyone.”
Duan Kai sighed and said: “The paparazzi just caught your jokes to make a fuss. In fact, everyone knows the facts. It’s just that your movie will be released soon. If this happens, it will not affect anyone, especially It’s Joey Yang.”
“…” Zu Qi was silent for a moment before saying, “Then I’ll come to you later.”
“No need.” Duan Kai said, “Mr. Wang has already given the money. You can go to Xue Jue as soon as possible.”
Within a few seconds of hanging up, Zu Qi received a WeChat message from Qiao Yiyang.
Joey Yang: Why did you leave first? Didn’t you say that I should send you off?
After speaking, a series of grievances and crying expressions were also posted behind.
Tonight, many people drank alcohol. Zu Qi and Joe Yiyang drank two or three glasses respectively when they toasted. This amount of alcohol was nothing to Zu Qi, but it was enough to make Joe Yiyang, a rookie drunk, dizzy.
When he walked out of the restaurant before, Joey Yang’s pace was not very steady.
Zu Qi looked at the phone and always felt that the expression sent by Joe Yiyang was a bit strange. It was not at all like the expression that Joe Yiyang would usually use with a serious and gentle personality. He just turned to think of Joeyyang drinking tonight. He threw this weird thought behind his head.
So Zu Qi replied: If you have something to do, let’s go first, and I will make an appointment later when there is time.
After thinking about it, Zu Qi also sent a string of grinning expressions.
Qiao Yiyang sent a lot of messages later, and even seven or eight one-minute voice messages, occupying the entire screen of the mobile phone were all white message boxes.
After hesitating for a while, Zu Qi turned off the phone directly.
In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour passed, the driver slowly stopped the car on the side of the road, Zu Qi used his mobile phone to scan the QR code to pay, and then hurried off.
Although spring has already begun, it is a pity that the weather does not mean to warm up. As soon as Zu Qi got out of the car, he felt a drizzle of cool breeze digging into his collar.
Zu Qi shivered abruptly, and walked towards the location of the coffee shop in the memory in three steps and two steps. That was the place where he had made appointments with Tang Yukuan several times before. It seems that the door has been closed at this point in time. .
Facts have proved that Zu Qi really guessed right.
Before he could get closer, he saw that the glass door of the coffee shop was locked tightly. There was no light on the second floor, and the whole building was silent as if it was about to be swallowed by the thick night.
There were also pedestrians in twos and threes on this pedestrian street. Seeing Zu Qi hurriedly running over, they couldn’t help but turn their heads to look at him.
Zu Qi hurriedly stopped and exhaled a dull breath in the mask. He raised his hand and pulled the brim of his hat and continued to walk towards the coffee shop.
Along the way, Zu Qi did not find Xue Jue’s figure. He stood in front of the glass door of the coffee shop and waited for ten minutes, but still could not find Xue Jue. On the contrary, there were fewer and fewer passers-by walking on this pedestrian street. The raindrops in the wind are getting denser.
In less than half an hour, dense rain fell on the sky, as if to cover the entire night.
There was no shelter outside the coffee shop. Zu Qi was worried that Xue Jue could not see him after he walked away, so he stood stupidly in the rain, and the cold wind blew the rain on his body and face.
I don’t know how long I waited, Zu Qi felt that he was about to be blown stiff, and suddenly felt the phone in his pocket vibrating. He took out the phone in a daze. After seeing Xue Jue’s name above, he suddenly became energetic.
Zu Qi quickly answered the phone, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly realized that maybe Xue Jue hadn’t come to the coffee shop at all.
correct!
Didn’t Xue Jue guess that he was lying?
How could you run here stupidly!
After thinking of this possibility, Zu Qi suddenly felt much better. It seemed that the wind and rain didn’t hurt so much on his face. He sniffed and said lightly, “Are you home yet? I just had a supper with Director Wang and they are now ready to go back.”
“…” There was a sudden silence on the other side, and it took a long time to hear Xue Jue mumble, “I’ll pick you up.”
Zu Qi hurriedly said: “No, you have been so busy lately. Rest early. Duan and Xiao Dengzi will send me back.”
Xue Jue: “…Well, you guys pay attention to safety.”
“Um…” Zu Qi thought that Xue Jue was going to sleep, so he whispered, “Go to sleep, good night.”
Xue Jue said: “Good night.”
After hanging up the phone, Zu Qi couldn’t wait to open the car-hailing software, and after locating the coffee shop and Xue’s house, he was about to place an order, suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him.
“Zu Qi?” He was a little uncertain.
Zu Qi, who was holding the phone, froze instantly, and he turned around mechanically.
In the next second, he saw the tall figure who did not know when he appeared in the rain. The lights on the side of the road were dim, but a long shadow was cast down behind him, just touching Zuqi’s toes.
Xue Jue didn’t expect that he would meet Zu Qi right here as soon as he hung up the phone. Undisguised surprise floated in his deep eyes. He was holding an umbrella in one hand and a mobile phone in the other.
After two seconds of shock, Xue Jue strode over and tilted the umbrella to Zu Qi’s side.
“Are you eating supper here?” Xue Jue’s mouth was slightly tilted, and his voice asked with a smile.
“No… I’m here to find you…” Zu Qi suddenly remembered the conversation he had with Xue Jue just now, and instantly understood that Xue Jue was lying. He frowned and said, “Aren’t you at home?”
Xue Jue lightly embraced Zu Qi’s shoulders and led him to the side of the street, where a black Land Rover that Xue Jue often drove was parked.
“I never said that I was at home.” Xue Jue’s voice was low, and there was a different flavor in the drizzle of the drizzle. “After you called me, I came over, and it turned out. The phone is out of power. Fortunately, I asked Xiao Zhao to temporarily send a mobile phone before I shut it down.”
Zu Qi looked around: “Where is Xiao Zhao?”
Xue Jue pressed Zuqi’s turbulent head with one hand.
“Back to the company.” Xue Jue said calmly, “There is still a lot of work waiting for him. I can’t find a place to send something. What a fool.”
Zu Qi thought of Xue Jue’s car parked here, but he came from behind the coffee shop. It is estimated that Xiao Zhao accidentally couldn’t find his direction. Somehow, Zu Qi wanted to laugh a little.
When he got into the car, Xue Jue saw Zu Qi’s suffocating face, and couldn’t help but raised the corner of his mouth. He started the car and asked, “Did you win in the end?”
“Huh?” Zu Qi didn’t turn the corner for a while, “What won?”
“The game you played when you were recording the show.” Xue Jue stared straight ahead without squinting his eyes. The two distinct phalanges held the steering wheel and turned slowly.
“…”
Zu Qi was silent for a moment.
Xue Jue knew that they were recording the show…
“That’s a game of punishment.” Zu Qi shrank his head pitifully like a quail, looking guilty and aggrieved. “They asked me to call someone and ask that person to go somewhere. If that person agrees, My punishment is over.”
Xue Jue couldn’t suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth: “So did you call me?”
Zu Qi shrank his neck with a guilty conscience and gave a barely audible hum.
But soon, Zu Qi realized something and turned around suddenly: “Do you know I’m recording a show?”
Xue Jueyun nodded lightly: “I heard the screams from your side. It should be the sound from the audience?”
Zu Qi paused, but was he ashamed to say that he had contacted Heng Jingchen before calling Xue Jue.
wrong……
This is not the point!
“You all know I’m recording a show, why come here?” Zu Qi didn’t know when Xue Jue came, but he was certain that Xue Jue had waited at the coffee shop for more than three hours.
After all, he and Director Wang took two hours to eat supper, plus an hour’s drive…
What’s more, it was so cold at night and it was raining again. Thinking of this, Zu Qi only felt heartaches. He immediately regretted calling Xue Jue at the instigation of the audience. , You don’t have to let Xue Jue wait so long in the rain for nothing.
Zu Qi was too guilty to extricate himself, but Xue Jue still looked okay. He said: “I thought that only if I came here, you can win in the game. In front of so many people, I can’t give you face. ”
“…” Zu Qi said, “Oh…”
The coffee shop is not far from Xue’s house, less than half an hour’s drive, and it seems that it didn’t take long to arrive.
Xue Jue drove the car to the garage and was about to get out of the car, only to find that Zu Qi had hardly spoken on the way, her head was drooping and she didn’t know what she was thinking.
Until Xue Jue got out of the car and walked around to open the co-pilot’s door, Zu Qi still didn’t break free from the overwhelming negative emotions. He raised his head to look at Xue Jue who was standing next to the car.
The light in the garage was weak, and Xue Jue stood in the shadow of a large area of light. He couldn’t see clearly his expression at this moment, but he heard his voice as gentle as immersed in water.
“Why are the eyes red?”
Not only did Zu Qi’s eyes turn red, but even the tip of his nose was red. He sat on the car chair a little bit at a loss, a clear mist filled his peach blossom eyes, and looked like a little rabbit being bullied.
“I’m sorry, Xue Jue.” Zu Qi sucked his nose. He rarely shed tears because of something so sad, but now there is a sad mood that is like a flood breaking through a valve, which is out of control.
Xue Jue rubbed Zu Qi’s hair and suddenly laughed, “Why apologize?”
“I just feel sorry for you.” Zu Qi said, a drop of tears slid down the corner of his eyes, his expression did not fluctuate, but tears criss-crossed on his cheeks.
Without him explaining, Xue Jue would know what he was talking about.
Xue Jue looked down at Zu Qi for a while, sighed, and stretched out his hand to pull Zu Qi out of the car, and then put him on the door of the car, gently wiping the tears from Zu Qi’s face with his slightly cold fingertips.
“Don’t apologize.” Xue Jue pressed against Zu Qi’s forehead, breathing intertwined, he said softly, “I don’t want to hear those three words.”
For some reason, Zu Qi suddenly couldn’t control her emotions. Under Xue Jue’s comfort, the tears that could have been held back began to burst into her eyes more recklessly.
“I just think I’m too selfish sometimes.”
Zu Qi hiccuped and tried hard to suppress the turbulent emotions in his heart. He felt Xue Jue’s kiss on his face like raindrops and stammered, “Although I have been in love a few times before, But this is the first time I really like someone, and it’s also the first time I have my own home in so long. My parents left early, and I have always lived alone. Maybe I’ve been a lone ranger for a long time. I even forgot how to take into account the feelings of others.”
“Hmm…” Xue Jue responded. He put Zu Qi into his arms and buried Zu Qi’s face in his neck.
Zu Qi didn’t know what was wrong with him. He actually had the urge to tell Xue Jue his identity as a traverser. This secret was like a huge rock in his heart.
It’s getting heavier.
Zu Qi was more and more pressured to breathe.
He pushed Xue Jue away, his heart was full, and he pointed his chest with a finger, smiled and said, “Maybe you won’t believe it, the soul in my body is almost twenty-six years old.”
Xue Jue stared at Zu Qi for a moment, and said, “I believe it.”
Zu Qi was shocked and did not speak.
Xue Jue put his hands on Zu Qi’s shoulders, bowed his head slightly, his eyes were serious and serious, and he slowly repeated what he said just now: “I believe you are no longer the you you used to be.”
“…”
Zu Qi blinked, as if he understood, and he didn’t seem to understand.
“But no matter who you were before, you are Zu Qi now, the real Zu Qi, this is a fact that no one can change.” Xue Jue said again.
At this moment, Zu Qi buzzed in his mind, hearing nothing, thinking of nothing.
