“Qi Cai!” A huge scream suddenly erupted behind them, and everyone looked over.

Xu Zhi looked up, the nearest girl lunged over and knocked off Qi Cai’s hat, his handsome face was revealed in the light.

Xu Zhi reacted quickly and opened her hand to block the girl and protect Qi Cai. She had worked as temporary security for Qin Zhen. When she had just established a relationship with Lu Ming, Lu Ming said he would take her on vacation and received a call from Qin Zhen just after she got off the plane. He ran towards Qin Zhen, with Xu Zhi dragging their luggage behind him to block the surging crowd.

The other side was so strong that his almost knocked her over, her arm was on fire, she couldn’t care less about her hand and turned her head to Qi Cai, “You go through the side door at the edge of the stage.”

Qi Cai actually didn’t bring a bodyguard, that was too capricious.

The next moment, she fell into a tall embrace, Xu Zhi tripped under her feet, both legs came along, and she was already brought to the bottom of the steps.

Xu Zhi’s feet stepped on the thick carpet, heard the man’s low “lead the way”, in a panic, she pulled his hand towards the side door, “here.”

For the first time, Xu Zhi felt what it meant to be so loud and crowded, Qin Zhen’s popularity was far worse than Qi Cai’s, Qin Zhen’s scene wasn’t so scary.

“Brother Qi, are you okay?”

Xu Zhi rushed into the corridor and heard a shout, then three or four men who looked very much like bodyguards ran over to block the fans, she braked and slowed her pace before she realized she was still holding Qi Cai’s hand, the man’s hand was big and his fingers were long, she quickly let go of Qi Cai’s hand, “I’m sorry.”

“Take care of it, I’ve been recognized. “Qi Cai glanced at him, his sword eyebrows were furrowed, he was obviously colder. He casually threw the bag to the bodyguard on one side and strode outside with one hand in his pocket. He was dressed casually, and quickly walked away.

Lin Li’s mouth twitched, could he not be recognized for his high-profile appearance? Turning to look at Xu Zhi, she was more beautiful than in the photo. Although the bachelor’s hat was already crooked and her clothes were messy, she couldn’t conceal her temperament.

“My name is Lin Li, Brother Qi’s agent.” Lin Li treated the young girl with gentleness and courtesy, “The car is outside, do you want to come with us?”

“No no no.” Xu Zhi already anticipate how explosive the news would be today, it would definitely be in the hot search, going with Qi Cai’s car again, she was just taking an inch more shamelessly, “Just now, they should have taken a lot of photos, there might be some misunderstanding. Very sorry for the trouble, if you need to clarify, I will cooperate fully.”

“There’s nothing to clarify, just doing a favor for a friend, Brother Qi is happy to help.” Lin Li raised his eyebrows when he said the word help, with a wonderful expression, and said, “Then go and get busy too, be safe.”

“Thanks.”

Xu Zhi left the school by another road, she didn’t go back for the group photo. She got in a cab and received a call from Xia Qiao, after listening to a minute of screaming, Xia Qiao said, “Where are you? I’m going to find you, don’t wash your hands, let me touch it. You actually pulled Qi Cai! And you hugged him, don’t take a shower either, I want more hugs!”

“I’m in a cab, I’m almost home.” Xu Zhi turned her head to look out the window, there were branches of plants in the blazing sun, she put her forehead against the glass, the car’s air conditioning was on and the cold glass rested against her skin.

“No righteousness!” Xia Qiao raised her voice, “You actually managed to invite Qi Cai to come, are you and Qi Cai going to collaborate on a new album? Is Qi Cai’s new album finally coming?”

“I don’t know.” Xu Zhi didn’t follow stars and rarely gossiped, and Lu Ming hated Qi Cai, so she knew very little about him, “It’s the first time I met him too.”

“That’s very nice of Brother Qi to help out with this, do you know how wonderful Shen Yao’s expression was just now? I laughed so hard, this is a great face punch, I’m now dying to know your ex’s expression. He is also disgusting, he was in a relationship with you and Qin Zhen, the photo at the airport today was released on purpose to disgust you.”

Xu Zhi felt nauseous and didn’t want to continue this topic.

“I even copied the lyrics of “Trapped” in high school, and during the college entrance examination, I listened to it every day. I never expected you to be Yu Mu. It’s incredible, I’ve been studying with Yu Mu for four years.”

Her mobile phone vibrated, and a new call came in. Xu Zhi opened her eyes and took the phone away from her ear to see the Caller ID.

The afternoon sunlight slanted into the carriage and fell on the phone screen, which reflected a glow.

A series of familiar numbers, Xu Zhi’s stomach suddenly hurt, without warning.

“I have things to do, we’ll talk some other time.” Xu Zhi sat up and moved away the car window glass.

“Goodbye, be safe, don’t be too sad, if the old doesn’t go, the new won’t come, the future will be better. The future is promising oh, young girl.”

“Thanks.” Xu Zhi hung up and got on the phone.

“Explain explain what the hot search is all about.” Lu Ming’s voice fell over, suppressing his anger.

Xu Zhi took the phone away from her ear and opened the Weibo hot search.

The first bright red burst of the hot search.

#QiCaiYuMu#

The fact that Qi Cai rarely had scandals had developed over the years to the point where he was speculated by the media to be in a relationship if he made eye contact with a woman, so it was no surprise that the incident in the auditorium today was on the hot search.

“Xu Zhi, can you be a little less childish? Just because I have a job and can’t attend your graduation ceremony, you have to make such a scene, I want to know, how do you think this’ll end up! What are you going to end up with!?”

Xu Zhi looked out the window at the summer that flew by.

No more, she didn’t want it.

“Is there anything else?” Xu Zhi’s voice wasn’t loud, but it was clear in the quiet car, “My contract is about to expire, Mr. Lu, do I need to look for you to terminate my contract?”

“You want to terminate your contract?” Lu Ming took a fierce puff of smoke, when Xu Zhu called him Mr. Lu, the smoke drifted away, he pressed the cigarette out in the ashtray and snorted, “OK, Xu Zhi, after the termination of the contract, I won’t sign you again.”

Lu Ming loosened his tie, walked to the french window and looked at the city under his feet. The river was silvery in the sun far away.

Would Xu Zhi dare to cancel the contract? She wouldn’t dare!

“Qi Cai went to look for you, do you think he really sees the crap you write? An eighteen-year-old being naive can be called cute, but when you’re still so naive at twenty-three years old, I can only say you’re stupid. He’s just trying to disgust me. We’re competitors, you know? How many times have I told you to stay away from him, what the hell are you trying to do by doing this on purpose?” Lu Ming was sure that Xu Zhi wouldn’t break up, and this was her limit, “Xu Zhi, do you really think I won’t break up with you?”

They had been in love for two years, but Xu Zhi had been following him for many years, she was the perfect girlfriend. She wouldn’t disturb his work, and always obediently followed behind him. Xu Zhi didn’t do things he didn”t like, didn’t interfere with his way of life, and was never suspicious.

Whenever Lu Ming turned around, Xu Zhi was always behind him.

He didn’t know what was wrong with her today, but she actually made a dozen phone calls in the morning to check up on him and did the things he was most tired of.

He suspected that he had been too good to Xu Zhi recently, making her swell.

A woman couldn’t be spoiled, or else she would want an inch more.

“I will not bring you a gift, reflect on your behavior.”

“Mr. Lu.” Xu Zhi finally spoke, calm without ripples, with no extra emotions, “I’ll go directly to Tomorrow Media to find the legal affairs?”

“OK! This relationship has ended!” Lu Ming threw the phone heavily on the table, the phone slid off the table and fell to the marble floor, the screen was estimated to be cracked. He didn’t care about the phone, picked up the cigarette case and took another cigarette off the head and lit it, smoking fiercely, his throat knot rolled.

“What’s the matter that made Mr. Lu throw such a tantrum?” The woman’s high heels made a rhythmic sound on the marble floor.

Lu Ming chewed on his cigarette and turned his head to look, Qin Zhen was wearing a long fiery red halter dress, just coming from an event, her makeup was exquisite, her long big wavy hair was draped, enchanting and sexy, unique to the charm of a mature woman.

“What else could be going on, Xu Zhi has making a scene from morning until now.” Lu Ming leaned back on the glass, his tone slowed down with fatigue, “The event is over?”

“This time she made a big fuss and brought Qi Cai into it. Young Master Qi actually cooperated with her too, they have a great relationship.” Qin Zhen walked up to Lu Ming, raised her hand to hook his messy tie, when she saw Lu Ming’s phone screen on the ground, her voice softened, “I told you you should rush over in the morning to accompany her to the graduation ceremony. Children are very concerned about these collective activities that have no real meaning but can satisfy their vanity, you don’t listen, see, it’s a mess.”

Lu Ming looked at Qin Zhen, not avoiding or answering, the cigarette on his finger burning quietly.

A great relationship?

“What are you looking at?” Qin Zhen hooked his tie and tilted her head, her tone of voice polite, “Mr. Lu suddenly found me more beautiful than your little girlfriend?”

In terms of face value, Qin Zhen was far worse than Xu Zhi.

Xu Zhi was a pure natural beauty, while Qin Zhen’s face had moved countless times to become as beautiful as it was today.

Lu Ming cupped Qin Zhen’s chin and slowly ran his thumb across her red lips, rubbing the lipstick onto her face and rubbing it off.

She was sultry and sexy.

“Qi Cai is doing it to disgust me, Xu Zhi is not a heavenly fairy, she’s a little talented but not much unique, writing songs like that, which point is worth Qi Cai ‘having a great relationship’ with her?” He pushed Qin Zhen away and wiped off the lipstick residue on his hand with a paper. He completely ripped off his tie, balled it up and threw it into the trash, and turned towards the place where he dropped his phone, “You are not comparable, don’t ask such vulgar questions. I’m going back to Beijing tonight, you stay here alone. Be honest and don’t make any more trouble.”

“Go back and coax her?” Qin Zhen asked.

Lu Ming froze and snickered, “Coax her? Have I ever coaxed anyone? She doesn’t need coaxing, she’ll be begging for peace in less than a week. She has liked me for many years, she can’t leave me, I know that. Go back to other things, it has nothing to do with her.”

“Do you love her?” Qin Zhen suddenly hugged Lu Ming from behind, her sexy arms wrapped around him, hugging him tightly, “You obviously don’t love her, you haven’t even slept with her. What’s the point of you being together? Why not end it?”

“Love or no love I have to marry her.” Lu Ming pulled away Qin Zhen’s hand that was wrapped around his waist and bent down to pick up the phone, “Your contract ends in six months, if you want to break it, make preparations in advance, I won’t stop you. I’ll do the wedding with Xu Zhi at the end of the year, don’t look for me in the future.” He turned over the phone, the phone screen shattered into cobwebs, and the blue light was still shining, but it went dark with his movements.
