starlight aria

She likes to dance, and when no one asks her to dance, she will stand quietly behind him, pull his sleeves, and cling to him like a bird.

He was never worried that she would leave too far away, as long as he looked at her, she would return to him obediently.

Sure enough, he only waited for a minute before she raised her eyes and looked around his corner.

He slowly raised a hand and smiled lightly, believing that she would rush to him immediately.

But things were beyond his expectation, she just nodded to him and continued to dance with her male partner.

Du Sichen didn't know that Du Yunqian would attend the dance held by the cosmetics company at first. When he entered, the dance was already halfway through. After greeting the host, he held a glass of wine and stood in the elevated space on the second floor Looking down on the dance floor.

He soon discovered Du Yunqian's existence.

Du Sichen stood quietly, waiting to be discovered by Du Yunqian.

He used to take her to dances and parties, big and small, and she could always find out where he was in the crowd.

She likes to dance, and when no one asks her to dance, she will stand quietly behind him, pull his sleeves, and cling to him like a bird.

He was never worried that she would leave too far away, as long as he looked at her, she would return to him obediently.

Sure enough, he only waited for a minute before she raised her eyes and looked around his corner.

Du Sichen slowly raised one hand and smiled lightly, believing that she would rush to his side immediately.

But things were beyond his expectation, Du Yunqian just nodded to him, and continued to dance with the male partner beside him.

At this time, Du Yunqian discovered that the male companion beside her was Ji Xiang.

"They are a very suitable couple, aren't they?" A whisper suddenly appeared beside Du Sichen.

"You're here too." Du Sichen turned his head and saw Cheng Zhongxuan, not surprised, after all, he also belonged to the entertainment circle.

"Ji Xiang is a good person, I am really happy for Missy." Cheng Zhongxuan stood side by side with Du Sichen, watching Du Yunqian dance beside Ji Xiang.

"Really?" Du Sichen snorted coldly.

"When did they start? If Yunqian had dated Ji Xiang long ago, she wouldn't have..."

Realizing that he had talked too much, Du Sichen quickly stopped his complaints.

"Anyway, no matter how I think about it, it doesn't feel right."

"The general manager should have read the gossip magazines and knew that the two of them often dine together in restaurants. Ji Xiang has been pursuing the eldest lady, but he has not received a positive response... This time the eldest lady went to Europe, and she seemed to be stimulated by something, so I decided to Agree to Ji Xiang's pursuit."

"No, no, this time sequence seems to be..."

Du Sichen was not such an easy target to be coaxed, he frowned, recalling that morning he left the hotel in a hurry to rush to another business meeting.

At the end of the two-day long meeting, what awaited him was indeed a newspaper clipping that shocked him.

Cheng Zhongxuan didn't change his face, but smiled, "Didn't the general manager say he wanted to bless them? Or do you have other ideas about this matter?"

"I said that I want to bless Yunqian. She is lucky to find such a perfect partner. I hope she can be happy."

Even Du Sichen couldn't help feeling that these words were too formulaic, and he seemed very guilty.

"The general manager has no regrets?"

"Why should I regret it?"

Du Sichen turned his gaze to Cheng Zhongxuan, hoping to hear him explain clearly, but Cheng Zhongxuan did not continue.

"It's nothing, I just don't want the general manager to regret it when the matter is a foregone conclusion." After a long time, Cheng Zhongxuan said slowly.

"I began to wonder, which side are you on? Aren't you getting my salary?"

"To be honest, I receive both salaries." Cheng Zhongxuan nodded slightly and retreated.

Du Sichen watched angrily as Ji Xiang hugged Du Yunqian tightly, rubbing his ears together. The two of them didn't know what they were talking about. Du Yunqian smiled and was very happy.

It has been two or three weeks since the relationship was made public, and the media kept following their relationship, and the scenes of dining together, visiting each other's classes, and joking at work were published in newspapers one by one.

Du Sichen repeatedly reminded himself to look at it with a normal mind, but it seemed difficult to do so. After reading those newspapers, he would always throw them into the trash can immediately. Now that he saw the real images, he even liked the most I can't even drink the red wine.

"The public, what is she doing?"

Du Sichen couldn't wait for Du Yunqian's gaze, and her eyes wandered, but she just didn't look at him, as if he didn't exist at all.

The distance between her and Ji Xiang is as close as a crime.

Fed up!

Du Sichen had seen Du Yunqian dance with men in social situations before, but this was the first time he found it so unbearable.

The situation is completely different from the past ten years.

She was surrounded by her publicly acknowledged boyfriend, and he could no longer use his elder brother's authority to force her to stay by his side, and that was a man whose appearance, talent, family and status were above the standard, and he had no reason to stop him.

When Du Yunqian put his head close to Ji Xiang's chest, Du Sichen no longer planned to wait any longer, he turned passive into active, walked down the stairs, and walked in Du Yunqian's direction.

He didn't want to care about demeanor or manners anymore, now he just wanted to take Du Yunqian away from the man and snatch her back to him.

"Is he looking at me?"

"Don't be nervous, you look too nervous, just smile."

Du Yunqian glanced at him, a little dumbfounded.

Since Ji Xiang became her real boyfriend, the most frequent reminder to her is "smile".

Fortunately, Ji Xiang was by her side, otherwise, when she saw Du Sichen, she really didn't know what to do.

Especially when Du Sichen waved to her, she immediately wanted to leave Ji Xiang and run to him immediately, but it was Ji Xiang who held her hand tightly and stopped her.

"Women who come to your door automatically are worthless. If you want Du Sichen's attention, just ignore him." Ji Xiang said flatly.

"You know?" Du Yunqian's heart suddenly shook.

"I probably guessed a little bit. Don't worry, I don't intend to meddle in my own business. What I said just now is just a suggestion. What you want to do is up to you."

Du Yunqian knew that Ji Xiang's words were correct, so she patiently refused to look at Du Sichen or his reaction, and concentrated on talking to Ji Xiang, magnifying her smile a hundred times.

Du Yunqian worked hard with her long-term training in acting, and perfectly expressed the atmosphere of indulging in love.In order to create a more eye-catching effect, she even snuggled up to Ji Xiang's chest.

Since the man doesn't mind, she is also happy to use him as a large prop.

"Very well, the result has appeared."

Above her head, Ji Xiang's voice was small but full of smiles.

Before he had time to ask what he meant by this sentence, a cold voice sounded behind him.

"Ji Xiang, I haven't seen Yunqian for a long time, can you give me this dance? I will be very grateful."

"If Yunqian is willing, I don't mind." Ji Xiang chuckled.

Du Yunqian turned around abruptly and looked into Du Sichen's eyes.

Du Sichen raised his chin arrogantly, with an indifferent sneer on his lips.The slender eyes are not angry and majestic, the clothes are elegant and tidy, meticulous, and the standing posture is as if the king is under the city.

The overly flamboyant white suit was cut close to the body, making Du Sichen even more slender.His shoulder-length hair made his face even thinner, and his handsome silhouette was extremely handsome under the light.

He stood very close, and she could smell a faint fragrance of cologne, which made her feel familiar and at ease.

The crowd dancing around stopped one after another because of Du Sichen's appearance, and their eyes were all focused on him.

"Please." Du Sichen stretched out his inviting hand, but Du Yunqian did not respond for a long time.

She longed to get close to Du Sichen, and also hoped to attract his attention, but when he was right in front of her eyes, she couldn't help feeling regretful.

She had already promised to keep a distance from Du Sichen for the time being, and not to let the media take pictures of suspicious scenes like last time. She could not break her promise.

"I'm sorry." Du Yunqian bowed his knees, turned around and left.She hurriedly ran all the way to the door.

After reaching the corridor, Du Sichen had already caught up with her.

"Yunqian, what's the matter with you? Just ignore me just now, but now you still refuse my invitation to dance."

The experience of being rejected was very rare in Du Sichen's life, which made his tone a little annoyed at the moment.

"We'd better not dance." Du Yunqian said in a calm tone.

"Why?" Du Sichen asked.

"I just think it's better this way." Du Yunqian didn't look at him, avoiding the important ones.

"I waved to you just now, why didn't you come over?"

"I am busy."

"Busy dancing with Ji Xiang." Du Sichen added coldly.

Du Yunqian raised his head and glared at him with angry eyes.

Didn't he know that it was his mother who forbade him from approaching him?Ask her to keep her distance, and stop causing rumors and misunderstood his future wife.

Therefore, she can only yearn for him from afar, not daring to approach him even a single step.

She turned around, but because of too much force, she tripped over the skirt that dragged the floor and fell to the ground.

"Are you injured? Come, I'll help you up." Du Sichen stepped forward and held out his hand to her.

Embarrassed and frustrated, Du Yunqian suddenly lost control of her emotions. She stood up with her own strength and slapped Du Sichen's hand away.

"Go away!"

"Yunqian?" Du Sichen didn't understand her anger.

"Mom wants me to stay away from you and stop creating rumors. We are all public figures, and our every move is under the surveillance of the media. If we are photographed again, it will be difficult to explain to the Xia family. You definitely don't want this results, right?"

Du Sichen refused to let her go, Du Yunqian struggled to no avail, so he simply expressed the grievance in his heart.

"I didn't know Mom thought so!" Du Sichen said in surprise.

"You know now!" Du Yunqian said angrily.

"I'll deal with it, you don't have to worry about what your parents say."

"How can I not care, even if it's not my biological parents, she still raised me for more than ten years." Du Yunqian's eyes were red, for her, she was still a gentle and polite mother!

"Yunqian, this is not a good place to talk. Tomorrow morning, you come to my office and we have a good talk, shall we?" Du Sichen's expression was sincere, his wrists were strong and powerful, and his eyes revealed an expression that could not be ignored. determination.

"Nothing to talk about."

"I want to have a good talk with you about... many things." Du Sichen said softly.

This was a request, not an order, and it was completely different from the tone Du Yunqian had been familiar with over the past ten years.

Since the relationship between the two was revealed, Du Sichen's attitude towards her has become cautious, and he is no longer the tough stance of the past.

This kind of alienated and polite attitude is actually a kind of harm to Du Yunqian, as if Du Sichen used actions to draw a line - you are just an outsider.

She constantly felt this message from Du Sichen's actions.

"Okay, I'll go!" Biting her lip, Du Yunqian said reluctantly.

"I'll wait for you tomorrow."

Withdrawing his hand from Du Sichen's grasp, Du Yunqian lifted the hem of his skirt and walked out.She knew that Du Sichen was watching her from behind, and the burning gaze made it difficult for her to move forward.

She tried her best to maintain a proud posture, smiling calmly at those who passed by.

Du Yunqian didn't want to show her fear, but she knew that her heart was trembling, she was afraid of what Du Sichen was about to say to her.

She regretted agreeing to Du Sichen, if she could, she hoped that she could prevent the sun from rising tomorrow.

What did Du Sichen want to say to her?Du Yunqian couldn't guess it at all.

Ji Xiang had no intention of interfering with Du Yunqian's emotional troubles, so he didn't chase him out, he just found a corner and sat down quietly to drink.

The clothes are fragrant and the temples are shadowed, and the cups are intertwined. Several people recognized him and came to chat with him.Ji Xiang's attitude was cold, and the people who came to chat quickly retreated.

Ji Xiang knows that his temper is not mellow enough, not many people can bear it, he has long been used to this scene.

He had thought that Jin Haoxun would come, but the dance was coming to an end, and he still didn't see him.

It's been just over a month since that miraculous night, but it feels like a long time.

That night, I ran into Jin Haoxun by accident, and the two sat side by side on the grass. Because I didn't know what to say, Ji Xiang had nothing to say, "You didn't spend the holiday with Xiao Yili?"

Jin Haoxun put away his smile, not out of anger, but just in doubt.

"Ji Xiang, why do you think I will definitely date Xiao Yili?"

"After she returned to the showbiz, you went home to pick her up every day, and the two were inseparable. Even if the photos and scandals were published by reporters, you never clarified. I don't think this is just a relationship between ordinary friends."

"Eli has just recovered from a serious illness. I am worried about her health, so I often pick her up. As for those scandals, you know that those rumors are cleared up. Both Yili and I think that there is no need to clarify anything." Jin Haoxun defended with a smile.

"She is sincere to you."

"I know, but..." Jin Haoxun hesitated to speak, as if he didn't want to analyze his relationship problems.

The silence lasted for a while between the two until Jin Haoxun spoke again.

"This is the second time watching fireworks with you, isn't it? Usually you are indifferent to me, as if you hate me, but when watching fireworks, your expression will become very gentle..."

The fireworks exploded one by one in the night sky, illuminating Jin Haoxun's face on and off.

Ji Xiang looked at him speechlessly, feeling that his mood was being shaken.

"Today is Tanabata, Ji Xiang, have you ever been in love?"

"Of course." Ji Xiang nodded in the dark, "When I was 17, I fell in love with someone."

After waiting for a long time without waiting for the next sentence, Jin Haoxun asked, "And then?"

"There is no after. I gave all my feelings, but was ruthlessly abandoned in the end. After that, I can no longer trust anyone, and I don't think I will fall in love with anyone again..."

Since it is a failed relationship, what will be left?There may have been pleasant memories, but Ji Xiang didn't want to recall them at all.

Ji Xiang didn't look at Jin Haoxun, but turned to look at the sky.

He has always felt that fireworks are a very lonely thing, they are fleeting, only brilliant for a moment, and nothing can be retained.

Just like his love affair back then.

"Is it still the same now? Didn't dare to love until now?" Jin Haoxun asked behind him.

"Just laugh at me as a coward! Instead of loving and being hurt, it's better to hide away from the beginning."

"If I had to choose, I would choose to love instead of trying, how would I know whether I will succeed or fail in the end?" Jin Haoxun replied in a cheerful tone.

"You have always been optimistic, but unfortunately, I am not you." Ji Xiang smiled lightly.

The two of them didn't say anything more, they squeezed into the crowd, raised their heads together, and enjoyed the fleeting beauty.

Afterwards, Ji Xiang was busy with filming and had no chance to meet Jin Haoxun. He didn't think about it until he was sitting alone in the noise.

"Hi, finally found you!"

When Jin Haoxun's voice suddenly appeared, Ji Xiang was startled.

"I just came over from work and wanted to say hello to everyone. Wait for me."

Leaving those words behind, Jin Haoxun ran away without a trace as if he had suddenly appeared.

When he was in the showbiz, he was famous for being all-round and exquisite.When this kind of occasion comes, it is unavoidable to call each other brothers everywhere.Ji Xiang sat on the spot and watched him run around, chatting with the manager of the advertising company and toasting the producer of the TV company.

Jin Haoxun is a completely different person from him. He thinks it is hard work to talk to people, and it is a troublesome thing he never wants to get into when trying to figure out other people's tempers.

Logically speaking, Ji Xiang should hate Jin Haoxun's temper, being nosy and overzealous, but the fact is completely opposite.

Thinking about it carefully, Ji Xiang suddenly felt that his efforts to leave Soaring Sky were wasted.

I thought I had gone far enough, but in fact, he was still by my side, never far away.

"Ji Xiang, I've kept you waiting!" Jin Haoxun walked back and sat down beside Ji Xiang.He was in high spirits, and told Gao Jixiang what he had just heard about the entertainment industry.Ji Xiang listened quietly.Respond only when necessary.

"By the way, are you here with Yunqian?" Jin Haoxun suddenly changed the topic and looked around.

"She's leaving first." Ji Xiang was too lazy to explain.

"That's fine, I'm worried about taking up too much of your time and making your girlfriend feel uncomfortable."

girlfriend?

This noun reminded Ji Xiang, he looked at Jin Haoxun, not understanding why there was a hint of sadness on his face.

"I saw Yunqian last time, and seeing your love interest up close really opened my eyes."

"Ah."

It's just a badge, what's so eye-opening?

Ji Xiang watched Jin Haoxun's eloquence with cold eyes.

"As expected, it belongs to the Muller family. I heard that even the gems inlaid on it are worth a lot. Compared with it, my jade pendant is nothing, it's just a worthless gadget." Jin Haoxun smiled self-deprecatingly.

Ji Xiang was stunned for a moment, almost unable to remember what the jade pendant Jin Haoxun was talking about.

"Is the jade pendant still there? Didn't you treat it as trash and throw it into the trash can?" Jin Haoxun asked with a smile when he saw Ji Xiang's astonishment.

"Oh, is it the jade pendant you forced on me last time? I don't know where to put it." Ji Xiang waved his hand, not paying much attention.

"You don't know where you put the jade pendant?" Jin Haoxun couldn't help shouting.

"Is that jade pendant expensive? Are you so nervous?"

Ji Xiang was frightened by his volume, Jin Haoxun rarely panicked, his reaction was very unusual.

"No, it's not something valuable. Although it's called an antique, it's not as valuable as jewelry, but it has a special meaning to me."

Since it is something meaningful, why give it to him?Ji Xiang had doubts in his heart.

"If you like it so much, I will find it as soon as possible." Hearing Jin Haoxun's solemn words, Ji Xiang couldn't help but feel a little regretful that he didn't keep the jade pendant properly.

Jin Haoxun's calm face was stained with unease.

"If you find the jade pendant, can you bring it back to me?"

"You regret giving it to me?"

Ji Xiang smiled lightly. He didn't know the reason why Jin Haoxun gave it to him at the beginning, but now he wants to go back, of course he won't feel pity.

"When I find it, I'll take it and return it to you." He agreed without hesitation.

"Thank you."

For some unknown reason, Jin Haoxun suddenly became very silent. Ji Xiang looked at him strangely, and drank his own wine silently without asking any further questions.

Jin Haoxun was by his side, even if he didn't speak, Ji Xiang felt a sense of peace from the bottom of his heart.

"Ji Xiang, didn't you tell me last time that you can no longer love anyone?"

"Oh, yes!"

"Then, why did you suddenly date Yunqian after only a few days?" Jin Haoxun looked into the distance with a calm expression.

There are indeed contradictions in this, but Ji Xiang has no way to explain the truth to Jin Haoxun. He promised Cheng Zhongxuan to help, and he will help to the end.

"Do you disapprove of me being with Yunqian?"

"It's not disapproval, it's just..."

"only?"

"It's just a little disappointing..."

Before Jin Haoxun finished speaking, he stood up and left, leaving Ji Xiang alone to think.

After thinking for a long time, Ji Xiang came to a conclusion.

Jin Haoxun is really angry at his inconsistency in words and deeds, right?He said that he never wanted to be in love again, and soon announced that he had been pursuing Du Yunqian for a long time.

It may also be angry at him for lying, since he has pursued Du Yunqian for a long time, but he pretended in front of him that he did not want to pursue love at all.

After thinking it over, Ji Xiang understood that Jin Haoxun's anger had its own reasons, but he couldn't defend himself.

Let the misunderstanding continue!

If Jin Haoxun wants to be disappointed with Ji Xiang's personality, he has nothing to say.

Anyway, he didn't care about Jin Haoxun's thoughts for a long time.
