starlight aria

Standing in the dark, he frankly said his sincerity, "My existence has never been of value to other people, whether it is mother, father, they don't need me.

After I entered the showbiz, I had movie fans and music fans, and I suddenly found the meaning of my existence. It turns out that my existence can make so many people happy. "

He looked at Jin Haoxun's profile.

"However, in fact, for me, the biggest benefit of entering the showbiz is having you as my companion.

Watching fireworks alone, although comfortable, is also lonely.

At this moment, to have you by my side... I really feel happy. "

Jin Haoxun's smile froze suddenly, and he looked at him with a puzzled and complicated expression.

Sitting in the brightly lit high-end restaurant, Du Sichen looked across the street, with many thoughts in his mind, and for a moment he forgot that the girl sitting opposite was talking endlessly.

"Brother Du?" The daughter of the Xia family called softly, bringing back Du Sichen's lost thoughts.

"Huh?" Du Sichen didn't hear what the girl said just now, but tilted his head and looked at her with puzzled eyes.

"I will go back to Taiwan next month, let's meet again, okay?"

"Of course no problem, I will do my best to be a landlord."

"Great."

After finishing several business meetings, Du Sichen made a detour to Paris to complete his first meeting with the daughter of the Xia family.

Xia Jiaqian King Kong turned twenty and was still a college student.As a major in art, she has a strong bookish atmosphere, a lively personality, and the dignity of a young lady, so she is a very good match.

What's more, the Xia family owns many industries in Europe, including transportation, tourism, and even flower export. Du Sichen understands why his parents like the Xia family very well.

After saying goodbye to the daughter of the Xia family, Du Sichen walked to the hotel across the street.

The classical-style building reminds visitors of its long history. In front of the not-so-luxury facade, there are well-trained doormen, who receive guests with superior wealth and status with a courteous attitude.At the moment of checking into the hotel, all the staff will address the guests by name, and record the preferences and habits of the guests one by one, so as to adjust their service methods.

The assistant who followed behind reminded, "The hotel has been booked today."

"I want to live in this room."

It was rare for Du Sichen to have an opinion on his own residence, and his assistant certainly knew how to change the direction of the situation.

"But it seems to be a members-only hotel, and guests need to be vetted before they are eligible to book a room."

"I'm already a member. Although I haven't stayed here for several years, I still pay the annual membership fee. I stay here, and you go to the hotel you originally booked." Du Sichen smiled slightly, remembering what happened in this hotel many years ago fun stuff in .

"I'll deal with it right away."

When the assistant was checking in, Du Sichen was sitting in the lobby, looking at the interior decoration that hadn't changed over the years - gorgeous but low-key, luxurious but not ostentatious.

This hotel strictly controls the quality of the residents and ensures their privacy, so that the guests can spend their holidays here freely.Any unpretentiously dressed guest passing the lobby could be an entrepreneur with billions of dollars in his hands.

This is a world of high society.

When the hotel manager learned of Du Sichen's arrival, he came to express his welcome in person.

"Mr. Du, long time no see."

"Seven or eight years?"

"Yes, I heard that you have taken over the family business, and our employees all hope to see Mr. Du again."

"I've always missed it here."

"This time... did you come alone?"

The hotel manager rolled his eyes, as if looking for something.

"Yes, there won't be any more rumors this time." The hotel manager's smile was a little stiff, but Du Sichen was in a great mood and couldn't help but smile again.

Back then, because it was fun for a while, it created a lot of topics for this hotel, and it also made the hotel manager exhausted to clarify.

Later, Du Sichen ate alone in the restaurant attached to the hotel, and several distinguished ladies paid attention to him not far away. After he responded with a smile, he happily picked up the cup and greeted Du Sichen again. .

The scene was so familiar that he couldn't help laughing again.

As an adult, similar scenes are common, and he gradually learns to keep a distance from women, turning everyone away with a favorable and polite attitude.

That year, when he just turned [-], he didn't understand this kind of harmonious wisdom.

I still remember that it was an evening in early spring, the restaurant was filled with the aroma of peonies, a girl with blond thick curly hair, young and cheerful, spoke English with a French accent, and sat down in front of him.

"Are you alone?"

"No, I have a companion." Du Sichen sipped the red wine, hoping that she would leave quickly.

"Is it a lover?"

"Yes."

"Is it prettier than me?" The girl seemed to have full confidence in her appearance. In fact, her confidence was well-founded, and her beauty lit up the entire restaurant.

"In my heart, she is prettier than you." Du Sichen glanced at her, chose to tell the truth, and ignored her interest.

"Where is it? I want to see it." The girl's beautiful smile was a little unwilling, which was more meaningful.

"Did you see a girl over there?" Du Sichen tilted his head.

"Ok!"

Following Du Sichen's line of sight, the woman saw a girl about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a light blue dress, white silk satin soft shoes, with a bow tied behind her back, her shoulder-length hair tied into two braids , holding a plate and waiting for the chef to cook the pasta on the spot.

"Her?" The girl's face turned pale.

"That's the girl I like!" Du Sichen curled his lips and smiled mischievously.

"But, that's a child!"

"She lives in the same room with me, what do you think? By the way, she is my sixth wife." He blinked.

Before he could finish speaking, the girl fled in panic.

Don't wait until the next day, Du Sichen has already heard that rumors spread in the hotel. Many travelers said that there was a mysterious oriental man who stayed in this high-end hotel known for its quality of guests with his confinement. A hotel with a history of hundreds of years.

"Brother, why do you disperse as soon as you meet us?"

Soon, even Du Yunqian realized that something was wrong.

"Ignore them."

Du Sichen watched with great interest the fuss made by those self-confident nobles and celebrities. He had just turned [-], and he still retained some playful mood.

The handsome young man hugged his sister and stopped in the hotel lobby, the whole space suddenly became silent.

"However, the employee's eyes are also weird, they keep looking at us..." Du Yunqian looked around uneasily.

"They're just envious of our brother-sister relationship."

Du Sichen bent down pretendingly, and kissed Du Yunqian's cheek.

This action caused a gasp, and Du Sichen thought, if he exaggerated a bit more, he might be able to make some women with weak hearts faint on the spot.

The hotel manager who knew the truth put out fires everywhere, and used various opportunities to expressly imply that the two were brother and sister, and these rumors gradually dissipated.

After a week of concerts, art galleries, and trade shows, the skeptical residents have stopped making a fuss about the two's intimacy.

"You're so mean, you scare us all, saying that's the girl you like..."

On the day of departure, a blond girl who had been frustrated before suddenly appeared in the lobby, and she extended her hand to Du Sichen, waving goodbye.

She whispered in Du Sichen's ear softly in a flirtatious tone, "If there is a chance, please contact me again! You are the type I like, and I will not give up!"

"You are beautiful, but that's the girl I like." Du Sichen pointed to the girl waiting quietly not far away with his chin.Seeing his gaze, the girl quickly bowed, her respectful appearance made Du Sichen smile.

He loves the feeling of being in control.

"Don't lie to me, I know it's your sister."

"Yes, she is my sister and the person I like the most in the world. We have an ulterior relationship."

Du Sichen showed a mysterious smile, "This is a secret, if you tell others, I will kill you to silence it!"

He nodded in salute and left without looking back.

Thinking back to this point, Du Sichen couldn't help laughing at his mischievousness in the past.

At that time, he had just started to participate in the operation of the Du family's business. He was full of vigor, with his obedient younger sister by his side. Everything was under his control, and the world seemed to revolve around him.

He joked freely, took the surprised reactions of others as fun, and was proud of having a cute younger sister.

"Didn't you bring your sister with you this time?" The sommelier asked with a smile when pouring wine for him. Many old employees remember the story back then.

"No."

"Shouldn't you grow up by now?"

"Well, growing up, I have reached an age that I can't control."

Now the two have their own careers. He travels around the world and inspects the resorts and tourist hotels invested by the Du family in various places. Du Yunqian devotes himself to developing the performing arts career and shines on the stage. Although he can't compare with the popular king and queen, he has already Own a world of your own.

The two of them now, even having a meal, have to discuss the meeting time and place for a long time before they can come to a conclusion.

Du Sichen looked into the distance, and the scene of Du Yunqian sitting meekly beside him, talking respectfully, was still in front of him.

Time flies, only a few years have passed, but such a situation is difficult to reproduce.

He always thought that the joy at that time would last forever, his career would be smooth sailing, and his girl would always be by his side.

The Du family's business encountered financial crises several times in a row. He worked around the clock, led business transformation, reinvested in the electronics industry, and wooed other consortia. He tried his best to find time, but Du Yunqian still felt lonely.

The year she graduated from university was the worst year for the Du family's financial situation, so he was in a hurry to marry her, while the Du family was still able to choose a well-matched partner, and while he was still able to hold a glamorous wedding for her ...He was all for Du Yunqian's good, but he pushed her to another unreachable realm.

"She's my sister and my favorite person in the world."

It was just an impromptu joke at the beginning, but in retrospect, Du Sichen realized that these few words were so sincere.

The time sequence enters midsummer, and the temperature is hot. No matter where you go, you can hear the chirping of cicadas, which is played repeatedly throughout the season like a never-ending piece of music.

Ji Xiang lay lazily on the grass, looking up at the blue sky.

He began to wonder if it was the wrong choice for him to act in a martial arts film.

It's fine to wear a headgear. His hair is already a bit long, so he can get by with a little wig. The most unbearable thing for him is the airtight clothes. In such a hot weather, he wears layers of ancient clothes on his body. Before the filming started, I was covered in sweat.

"Come on, have some drinks!"

A sports drink blocked his vision and blocked the original blue sky. Ji Xiang turned his head and looked directly at Jin Haoxun.

"Why are you here?" Ji Xiang sat up, cross-legged on the grass, looking up at the smiling former manager.

"This is a movie produced by Soaring Sky. I am one of the producers. Have you forgotten?" Jin Haoxun laughed.

"Did the filming go well?"

"It's okay." Ji Xiang said blankly, without expressing his complaints.

"The filming of "Swordsman in the Sky" originally had a big problem in raising funds. After asking many funders, they were unwilling to invest in this martial arts film that seemed to have no selling point. Later, a mysterious European consortium suddenly appeared. Willing to provide huge funds, do you know the inside story of this matter?"

"Why do you think I know something inside?" Ji Xiang glanced at him.

"It's nothing, I'm just asking." There was a faint smile on Jin Haoxun's lips.

"This "Swordsman" is a gift from me to my father. Before it's too late...I want to do more things to make my father happy."

"It's good that you have this intention, but I think your father is very healthy."

Jin Yong is the consultant of "Swordsman", working with the location team every three days, and designing martial arts moves with the martial arts instructor on the scene. .

"He hasn't been in direct contact with the entertainment industry for a long time. He is very happy to have this opportunity." Jin Haoxun nodded and sighed softly, "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps blowing.

Ji Xiang has lived in Europe for a long time, and he needs to use pinyin for a little more difficult Chinese characters. Of course, he doesn't know anything about poetry. Jin Haoxun's words are just playing the piano to the cow.

After a short conversation, Jin Haoxun left, and Ji Xiang was very glad that Jin Haoxun did not continue to ask.

He couldn't admit that he was the European funder, and under his instructions, the money was transferred to Soaring Sky through the consortium that had a cooperative relationship with the Muller family.

After hearing that Jin Haoxun was worried about funds, he called and asked Kles how much money he could use.

He has been clamoring for a long time that he will not use the property of the Muller family, but he made an exception for Jin Haoxun.

Kles was very considerate, and immediately allocated money to him, but there was no possibility of making money from this investment.

Even if Chris asked, Ji Xiang would not answer.

After living alone for many years, he didn't know how to express his emotions. A first love in his teens made Ji Xiang discover that he also had passion, but that love burned all his emotions. Now there is something in his heart. There is a big hole that no one can fill.

After finishing work, Ji Xiang drove home alone.

He has long been used to such a solitary life, so he didn't ask the brokerage company to send him an assistant.

Thinking while driving is definitely not a good habit, but Ji Xiang fell into deep thought unknowingly.

Are you being too timid?Only dare to watch from a long distance, but dare not take the initiative to attack.

It's not that he hasn't considered confessing.

But the possibility of failure is so high that Ji Xiang can't even take the first step.

On the contrary, he ran away from a distance, and the closer the opponent was, the more he reflexively wanted to escape.

He didn't dare to reveal his sincerity, he just wanted to be satisfied with watching from afar.

Passing through the familiar park, the image of watching fireworks with Jin Haoxun two years ago suddenly flashed in Ji Xiang's mind.

That day, standing in the dark, he frankly expressed his sincerity, "It's unbelievable. I used to think that I could live well in this world by myself. My existence has never been of value to other people, whether it is mother or father. , They don’t need me. After I entered the showbiz, I had movie fans and music fans, and I suddenly found the meaning of my existence. It turns out that my existence can make so many people happy.”

He looked at Jin Haoxun's profile.

"However, in fact, for me, the biggest advantage of entering the entertainment industry is that I can have you as my company. Watching fireworks alone is comfortable, but it is also lonely. At this moment, I can have you by my side... I am really happy feel very happy.”

Jin Haoxun's smile froze suddenly, and he looked at him with a puzzled and complicated expression.

Ji Xiang never forgot that scene.

He didn't continue talking, and didn't ask Jin Haoxun what he thought. He turned around, turned his back to Jin Haoxun, and watched the fireworks light up one by one in the sky, and then disappeared into the night sky.

If at that time, he had the courage to finish all the words, would the result be different?

Ji Xiang once asked himself this question, but he didn't think much about it, the hypothetical question only brought regret.

The badge that he originally wanted to give to Jin Haoxun was also given to Du Yunqian on impulse as a condolence item.

"It's too expensive, I can't take it." When he visited the hospital, he explained the origin of the badge to Du Yunqian, but Du Yunqian hastily declined.

"You put it away, it's useless to keep this thing with me."

"Why? This is like a token of love from the Mueller family, isn't it?" Du Yunqian understood.

Her best friend Yang Anyu also has a badge, and she is Kles' girlfriend.

"I have never been a person suitable for dating, and I have long planned to spend my whole life alone."

Ji Xiang smiled, and put the badge back into Du Yunqian's hand, "Take it! If one day you encounter difficulties, take this badge to the Muller family for help, and they will not refuse. You have no real relatives now, I understand this It feels like...the Muller family will be a good backer."

"Don't be like confessing your last words." Du Yunqian's eyes were red, "Thank you."

boom!

The loud noise alarmed Ji Xiang, and a round of blood-red fireworks spread out in the night sky, just like that night.

Is it Qixi Festival today?

On a whim, Ji Xiang turned the car into the park and found an empty space in the parking lot to stop.

The Riverside Park was crowded with people watching the fireworks. Couples cuddled together and celebrated the rare festival together. No one paid attention to the tall man passing by, who was a well-known star.

Ji Xiang shuttled freely among the crowd, looking for the best viewing angle for himself.

The fireworks lit up one by one, accompanied by the exclamation and admiration of the audience.Ji Xiang folded his arms and watched the fireworks with a lonely mood.

Would it be different if that night were repeated?He couldn't help thinking about it.

On such a night, he suddenly seemed to see Jin Haoxun.

"Ji Xiang!"

Hearing this shout, Ji Xiang was stunned, and turned his head with a little fear, fearing that some crazy fans would appear.Chasing in this crowded park is an experience he absolutely does not want.

Standing on the grass was Jin Haoxun with a smile on his face. The light from the fireworks shone on his face, matching his expression, he looked extremely excited.

Did heaven hear his prayers?

Ji Xiang never felt that he had been favored by heaven, but at this moment, he couldn't help feeling that the word miracle might exist in this world.

After finishing the first overseas fan meeting, Du Yunqian traveled to Europe and knew that Du Sichen was staying in Paris for business, so he temporarily changed the flight and decided to fly to Paris.

For entering the entertainment industry, Du Yunqian has never regretted it. This is the path she chose. No matter how tiring or hard it is, she is willing to go on.

Even if sometimes, she has to circle the earth twice a week, and sometimes works for three days and three nights without closing her eyes, she will not complain.

The only thing that troubled her was that she was drifting away from Du Sichen.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Du Sichen in?"

Du Yunqian didn't understand why the counter staff froze for a few seconds before recovering their smile when they saw her, and he also didn't understand why the hotel manager who came forward to greet her had a strange look on his face.

"Miss Du, long time no see. You have really grown up and become a beautiful lady." The hotel manager held her hand and welcomed her sincerely.

"Thank you."

"Are you here to visit my brother? Mr. Du is out now and will come back in the evening. I will arrange a room for you first. Do you want to live with my brother?"

In the past few times, they have lived in a two-room suite with a living room in the middle, living closely together.

Du Yunqian smiled softly.

"I did come to visit Mr. Du, but he is not my elder brother. Please arrange a separate room for me."

"Ah?" The hotel manager's face turned green for a moment, "Aren't you brothers and sisters?"

"No." Du Yunqian said with certainty.

"Why do people always like to stare at us and whisper?"

Du Yunqian looked left and right, and when many people made eye contact with her, they immediately turned their heads away.

It was like this many years ago, and it is still the same after many years. What are they looking at?Du Yunqian was still puzzled.

"Probably because...you are already a well-known and obsessed female star, and they are looking at you." The meal in front of Du Sichen hardly moved, he ate very little, with a gentle smile on his face .

His smile hasn't faded since we met in the hotel lobby.Du Yunqian swore that Du Sichen's smile had something else to do with it, as if he knew something hidden.

Feeling uncomfortable being spied on by other residents, Du Yunqian finished his meal quickly and proposed to have a drink at the tavern across the street.

It was dusk, and the tavern was crowded with drinkers.

"You seem tired?"

After just drinking a glass of mixed wine, Du Yunqian showed a dull expression, holding the glass for a long time in silence.

"A little bit." Du Yunqian nodded, "After flying for more than ten hours, I immediately participated in the fan meeting as soon as I got off the plane, and then rushed to the airport after the end. I haven't slept for more than 24 hours..."

"You really don't need to be so tired, the age of innocence is already on track, you can relax a little bit."

"Talented people come out from generation to generation. In the entertainment industry, if you relax, you may be replaced by others."

"It doesn't matter if you're replaced, it's a big deal, come home and let my brother take care of you." Du Sichen's voice was dissatisfied.

elder brother?

This term made Du Yunqian startled.

Du Sichen didn't change at all, even though the truth had been exposed, he still sincerely regarded himself as his younger sister.

For this intention, Du Yunqian did not feel any happy feeling.

"No, I've worked hard till now, I can't give up halfway..." She shook her head.

"It's all my fault for forcing you time and time again. If only I could love you more." Du Sichen spoke softly, and the gentleness revealed made Du Yunqian's heart palpitate.

He stretched out his hand to caress Du Yunqian's face, the temperature of his fingers made her cheeks feel hot.

Maybe it's the wine?She felt dizzy, and there seemed to be an unprecedented impulse in her heart. She put her hand on Du Sichen's.

"I like you." Du Yunqian raised his head, showing a trance smile.

Du Sichen didn't respond to his confession.

"Yunqian, you're drunk." He said softly.

"I'm not drunk."

"Only people who are drunk will say that they are not drunk." Du Sichen couldn't help laughing, he pulled Du Yunqian up, "Come on! Before you are really drunk, I will help you back to your room."

Regardless of Du Yunqian's objection, Du Sichen left the tavern holding her shoulders.Du Yunqian felt dizzy, staggered, and fell into Du Sichen's arms.

"Look, I'm really drunk."

Du Sichen's doting tone made Du Yunqian's heart agitated.

However, she knew that he was only talking to his sister as an elder brother.

The day she learned the truth, she had already abandoned the formal identity of brother and sister, but Du Sichen was different, he still lived in the role of the past.

Leaning on Du Sichen, she wanted to just lean on him for the rest of her life and never leave again.

In fact, this was impossible, because Du Sichen was about to make an engagement with another girl.

Du Sichen would not refuse.

Since hearing the news of Du Sichen's blind date, she hasn't been able to sleep well at night.

Why was she so shocked, she repeatedly asked herself?Why are you so anxious and sad?

As soon as he found out where Du Sichen was, he flew here without hesitation, trying to find the answer buried deep in his heart.

What she found was still a question, and the answer was in the hands of this man.

"Why must it be Miss Xia, can't I?"

The voice muffled in his clothes was very soft, but from Du Sichen's stiff reaction, Du Yunqian knew he heard it.

She took a step back and raised her head, trying to see his expression clearly.

With blurred vision, she couldn't see the scene in front of her clearly. Du Sichen seemed to say something. The voice came from far away, and she couldn't hear it clearly.

"I can't do it?" She repeated this sentence stubbornly, feeling her nose sour unbelievably.
