Chapter 69 - Let Me Apologize

In the past few days, Song Xing Xing thought that her life was pretty relaxing. After she had sent back the coat, she had never run into Lu Xun again. These days, he did not appear at the studio and would often send his assistant instead.

Song Xing Xing thought that this way was quite good too. If she did not see him, she would stop thinking about him.

However, just as she thought that everything was going smoothly for her, another person who she did not want to meet had appeared in front of her instead.

Song Xing Xing was visiting a restaurant that she frequently visited to buy her favorite dumpling soup when she ran into Bai Zhi.

Although she wanted to run and hide, Bai Zhi was standing at the entrance, blocking her from her way out.

In the past, Bai Zhi would hesitate to step into a small restaurant such as this. She was a rising actress who wanted to protect her reputation. Seeing that Bai Zhi had appeared at this place, Song Xing Xing knew that the woman was waiting for her.

"Xing Xing!" Bai Zhi waved her hand enthusiastically. She lowered her head and walked over to her friend. "I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Song Xing Xing raised a brow when Bai Zhi started to link their hand and walked out together. It was as if Bai Zhi was dragging her to another place.

Once they were farther from the crowd, Song Xing Xing peeled her hand away from her. She took a step back and asked, "What do you want from me?"

Bai Zhi looked back with a pitiful look. "Xing Xing, we haven't met and talked for a long time. Last time you said that you would contact me when you're free and we'll have coffee together."

"I have never said those words," Song Xing Xing said. "Bai Zhi, I have never promised you anything."

Bai Zhi bit at her lips. "Xing Xing, I just wanted to talk to you, alright? The shooting will begin next week." Her lips curled into a smile. "It seemed that the two of us will be seeing each other a lot."

"You will be going here and there to shoot while I will stay in the studio. Bai Zhi, I don't think that we'll be seeing each other as much as you expect," Song Xing Xing said.

Bai Zhi hesitated. " I don't know why were you angry at me. There must be a misunderstanding between us. Xing Xing, let me apologize to you."

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? Bai Zhi, you left me at that place with a group of people I don't know. If a good Samaritan did not show up to help me, perhaps I would wake up in the morning in a strange room with a stranger next to me."

"Xing Xing, I did not mean to leave you at the restaurant," Bai Zhi said. "You know how it is. I just thought that I would leave you for a few minutes. I really did not expect that Producer Ye would do something to you."

Song Xing Xing took a deep breath to hold her anger. She knew that there was no way that Bai Zhi would admit to her crime. At this time, Song Xing Xing did not have any evidence to refute Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi did not know that that night, she was only pretending to be drunk. Song Xing Xing had a hunch that this matter is not something that she should tell Bai Zhi at this time.

If Bai Zhi ever tried to set her up again, at least, Song Xing Xing would have a way out.

Seeing that her friend had kept her silence, Bai Zhi stretched her hand to hold Song Xing Xing's. "Xing Xing, I am really sorry. We have known each other for years. You know me. I wouldn't do such things."

Song Xing Xing tugged her hand away. "Bai Zhi, I can forgive you for a lot of things, but not this time. You had almost ruined my reputation. I did not want to say this to you previously because I was hoping that you would get the hint. Bai Zhi I don't want you to appear in front of me again. Even if we see each other, I hope that you can avoid me."

Bai Zhi stared at Song Xing Xing in disbelief. The two of them have been friends for a long time. But this is the first time that she had seen Song Xing Xing this angry. Her hand trembled. Even when Song Xing Xing had turned around to leave, Bai Zhi did not dare to do anything.

When she got farther enough, Song Xing Xing took a deep breath to calm down.

After a while, she stared at the bag of food in her hand and thought that she had suddenly lost her appetite to eat her dumplings soup.

At this time, her phone vibrated. Song Xing Xing took out her phone and saw that it was a notification from her game, reminding her to do her daily and collect some bonus items.

Thinking that she was still angered by Bai Zhi's appearance, Song Xing Xing decided to log into the game and kill some monster to vent.

Song Xing Xing sat down on the bench in the garden and placed her bag of food beside her. Then, she began to kill some monsters and decided to take the challenge and kill a big boss.

Because she wanted to vent, Song Xing worked extra hard to kill the monsters. In the end, the big boss died with her health low. Song Xing Xing stared at the word, 'Victory' with her mouth agape.

Hearing the sound of clapping beside her, Song Xing Xing snapped out of her trance and turned. Seeing that a little boy had suddenly appeared beside her made her unable to react.

"Big sister, you are so good at this game," The boy spoke as he continued to clap. His eyes were looking at the phone screen. Sensing that the big sister did not speak out, the boy lifted her head and saw that the big sister was staring back at him.

It was at this time that he realized that he had made a mistake. "Sorry. I know that I am not supposed to peek at other's phones. But when I heard that music, I know that you were playing 'Legends of the Sky'."

Song Xing Xing looked at the boy's innocent face and chuckled. "It's alright. You… play this game too?"

The boy nodded. "But my mom would not let me play that much. Therefore, my level is not that high."

Song Xing Xing looked around but could not see the boy's parents or guardians. "Where are your parents? Kid, didn't your parents tell you that you are not supposed to talk to strangers?"

Hearing her words, the boy started to move backward and creating some distance from Song Xing Xing.

At this time, a woman walked over in their direction. The moment she saw the boy, a deep frown appeared on her face. "Jia Xuan, What are you doing? Didn't I tell you not to run around?"

The boy called Jia Xuan slid down the bench and ran towards his mother. "Mom! I was just watching that big sister playing games."

Lu An Ran looked up and smiled. "Sorry. Did my son disturb you?"

Song Xing Xing waved her hand. "Don't worry. He's not."

Lu An Ran looked at her son again.. After apologizing to the woman again, she then dragged her son away to find her husband.
