Chapter 85 - 85 Get Lost

85 Get Lost

On the other side, Nan Zhe stepped on the accelerator all the way and drove as fast as he could.

If he went over at this hour of the day and the other party was still busy, they would probably only be able to have supper together.

Then again, was eating the point?

Of course not.

!!

He had not contacted Qi Yan since he graduated from junior high school.

At that time, he had asked around and found out that Qi Yan did not attend high school in Jiang City at all. He did not know where she went.

The two of them had not seen each other for ten years.

Qi Yan had never come to their junior high school reunions before.

He was the closest to Qi Yan in class. If he didn’t know anything about Qi Yan, the others wouldn’t know either.

Therefore, now that he had finally found her, he naturally had to meet her.

It was just an hour’s drive.

Meanwhile, in Qi Yan’s studio in Huai City.

“Sister Yan, I’ve already packed up. I’ll get off work first.”

Qi Yan didn’t look up and waved her free hand casually. “Be careful.”

“Alright! You should go back early too.”

“Yes, yes. I’ll leave after editing this.”

“Sigh. It’s Valentine’s Day, but you’re not going out on a date. Instead, you’re working overtime to edit photos.”

Qi Yan smiled and told her to leave quickly.

When Qi Yan came out of the studio after work, it was already past ten in the evening.

As soon as she walked down the steps with her bag, she saw a familiar car beside a tree by the roadside.

She craned her neck to look over. The person in the car seemed to have seen her too and pushed open the car door to get out.

The man who came down was wearing a down jacket with a hat and mask that covered him tightly. However, Qi Yan still recognized him. She was working overtime today because of this bugger.

Jiang Yuan was one of the latest top celebrities on the market. He debuted in a boy band and later flew solo.

The shoot was originally set for ten days later. For some reason, it was suddenly brought forward.

However, this person had finished filming an hour and a half ago. Logically speaking, he should have left long ago.

“Why didn’t you leave?” Qi Yan was a little puzzled.

“I feel a little bad for making you work overtime. I want to treat you to a meal.”

“I’ll pass.” Qi Yan waved her hand. “I have other things to do, so don’t bother.”

“Besides, people follow you around and take photos of you all the time. I don’t want to be filmed.”

Qi Yan was now half a step into the entertainment industry. She knew how chaotic this industry was.

If she appeared online with such a big celebrity on such a special day no less…

Hmph. She would be torn to pieces by his fans.

She was not stupid.

She definitely could not eat with him.

Besides, the two of them were not familiar with each other.

“I’m leaving.” Qi Yan slung her bag over her shoulder and walked past him.

Just as she took a step forward, the person behind her pulled her back.

——

Nan Zhe did not know much about the north of Huai City. He followed the navigation and circled twice before arriving at his destination.

He stopped the car and compared the photos he had found online to the surroundings. They looked quite similar.

As soon as he pushed open the door, he heard the voices of a man and a woman arguing not far ahead.

“Although this is the first time we’re working together, I’ve been paying attention to you before. Moreover, I’m not bad-looking and I’m your type. Don’t you want to eat with me? Just the two of us.”

“Who said you’re my type?”

“Didn’t you keep praising me when you took the photos?”

“…I’m sorry. Even if I take photos of a dog, I’ll praise it.”

Nan Zhe could not help but laugh.

Interesting.

He did not want to eavesdrop, nor did he want to waste time.

After closing the car door, he walked in the shadows under the trees and walked forward. Just as he reached the corner, he saw a man and a woman entangled in front of him.

The man kept pulling the girl.

Obviously, the girl was already a little impatient. Nan Zhe hesitated for a moment and decided to step forward to help.

The girl was not even willing to go with him, yet he was still pulling her. Wasn’t he asking for a beating?

However, before he could approach, the girl in the distance grabbed the man and… threw him over her shoulder.

“…” Nan Zhe stopped in his tracks and raised his eyebrows. Oh god!

...

Qi Yan was already annoyed to death by working overtime. Now, she was in a hurry to go home, take a shower, and sleep. In the end, this self-justified man kept bugging her as if he couldn’t understand human language.

“Let me tell you, there are four surveillance cameras at my door. It can get all the angles that you want. If you dare to provoke me again, I’ll post the surveillance video online tomorrow morning.”

Jiang Yuan’s back went numb from the fall. “Qi Yan!”

“Get lost. How annoying.”

Qi Yan rolled her eyes and turned to leave.

As soon as she turned around, she saw a figure opposite her.

Judging from his figure, he was definitely a man.

The other party stood there with his arms crossed, looking like he was watching a show.

The other party did not have a phone or any equipment in his hand. He stood there openly and did not look like a paparazzo.

Qi Yan took a look and lowered the brim of her hat. She brushed past the other party’s shoulder and left.

Nan Zhe did not look up. After confirming that the other party had left, he went forward and reached out to the man on the ground.

...

“Thank you…” After Jiang Yuan was pulled up, he touched the mask on his face. This man probably did not recognize him.

Just as he was rejoicing for a second, the person opposite him suddenly asked with a smile, “Jiang Yuan, right?”

“…”

“If I remember correctly, you can’t date, right? Yet you’re here entangled with a girl at night. Tsk. Have you thought about the consequences?”

“Who are you?” Jiang Yuan frowned. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

With that, Jiang Yuan was about to slip away.

Nan Zhe grabbed his collar, pulled him back, and threw him hard.

Jiang Yuan fell to the ground and stared at the person in front of him with wide eyes. “What do you want?! There are surveillance cameras here. I’m going to call the police for this!”

Nan Zhe took out a business card from his pocket and threw it at his face. Jiang Yuan picked it up and took a closer look.

“Now, do you need me to call the police for you?”

“No, no, no, President Nan.” After seeing the words on it, Jiang Yuan broke out in a cold sweat.

Only then did he realize what the other party meant.

He had just signed a big endorsement deal the day before yesterday. It was from Nan Zhe’s company.

The contract clearly stated that if anything happened to him, the penalty for breach of contract…

“I’m not in a relationship! It was… it was the photographer who pestered me earlier!”

“She took the opportunity to pester me during work and just kept harassing me! To put it bluntly, she saw that I was a celebrity and wanted to climb into my bed.”

Hearing this, Nan Zhe smiled and nodded as if he believed him.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan was about to heave a sigh of relief when a fist smashed down.

——

In front of the bus stop.

The last bus had just arrived.

There were a lot of people in front, so Qi Yan was not in a hurry. She was last in line.

Taking advantage of this gap, her mind drifted away as she thought of the figure just now…

When she went past him, she glanced at him from the corner of her eye. His side profile looked a little familiar as if she had seen him somewhere before.

However, she could not remember.

“Are you still going to get on the bus?”

Only then did Qi Yan come back to her senses. “Uh huh.”

She quickly got into the bus and lowered her head to fiddle with her phone to pay the fare.

Just as the bus door was about to close, someone squeezed in. She subconsciously turned to the side to make way for him.

However, the other party grabbed her wrist and said frivolously, “I’m sorry. She’s not taking the bus anymore.”
