"Let's go."

When Xu Junyan's back disappeared from sight, Pei Zhiqian said softly.

Chen Mu nodded with a smile.

After entering the room, Pei Zhiqian asked Chen Mu to sit casually, while he went to answer a call from the manager.Chen Mu looked at the layout of the house. The room had an industrial style, clean and tidy without any clutter, which fit Pei Zhiqian's impression of him.

After about 10 minutes, Pei Zhiqian finished the phone call, put the brewed coffee on the coffee table in front of Chen Mu, then sat down opposite Chen Mu, clasped his hands on his knees, and asked with a smile: " What are you looking at?"

Chen Mu took his eyes back from the photo wall in the living room, and sighed: "Your life is really colorful." On the photo wall, there are photos of Pei Zhiqian learning to dive, and there are also photos of learning to fly a helicopter, of course more of beautiful landscapes from around the world.

Pei Zhiqian glanced at the photo wall, "I will recharge myself for a while when I'm not filming." After a pause, he joked, "In case there is no filming in the future, I can switch to other careers so that I won't lose my job."

Chen Mu smiled.

The two chatted casually. Pei Zhiqian was very knowledgeable and good at finding topics. He could always chat about topics that Chen Mu was interested in. An hour passed before he knew it.Later, Chen Mu saw that although Pei Zhiqian was smiling, his face could not hide his tiredness. During the period, he turned his head to the side several times and yawned, so Chen Mu wanted to get up and leave.

"Wait a moment."

Pei Zhiqian stopped him, and said carefully, "There are some things that I think I need to tell you."

Seeing Pei Zhiqian's serious expression, Chen Mu could not help but sit down again, "Say it."

"In the seven years since I was separated from you, I have been in three relationships."

Chen Mu nodded, "Yeah." He thought it was normal, and he had been in several relationships himself.

"The two episodes were with outsiders, and the last episode was with insiders. It ended two years ago."

Chen Mu thought for a while and asked, "Is that insider you mentioned Xu Junyan?" He couldn't forget Xu Junyan's lonely eyes.

"Yes." Pei Zhiqian didn't intend to hide it, "He debuted in a singing group with me. One year after the group disbanded, he confessed to me."

He is a very practical person. After Chen Mu, in the three relationships he talked about, the other party loved him more, especially the first two. They were all young talents in a certain field, and they were not inferior to Chen Mu in terms of ability and financial resources. , in line with his vision of a good partner, but good people are often very proud in their hearts, they can feel that they don't like them much, plus he wants to film, get together less and leave more, and finally split up. .

Later, Xu Junyan, who had a crush on him for a long time, cried and confessed to him, saying that he didn't mind if he had someone else in his heart, as long as he could stay by his side.Having experienced the previous two failed love affairs, Pei Zhiqian looked back at Xu Junyan who was devoted to him. For a moment, he felt that Xu Junyan with a distorted crying face was very cute, so he agreed to the other party's confession so obsessively.

Although Xu Junyan is not his ideal type, he is really good to him, almost self-sacrificing dedication, this kind of love will actually give people pressure and burden, Pei Zhiqian also does his best to help Xu Junyan, find Xu Junyan Relationship pulls resources.

It's a pity that Xu Junyan has limited qualifications and low EQ, so he can only be gradually forgotten by the audience in the end.

If it was just like this, Pei Zhiqian would not break up with him, but Xu Junyan was too inferior, afraid that the gap between the two would become bigger and bigger, in order to catch up with him, Xu Junyan took the risk and climbed onto the bed of the senior executives of Star Entertainment, He successfully won the number one male number in a certain IP drama of the year.The ratings of that drama were very good, and Xu Junyan became popular for a while with his good character, but unfortunately, the follow-up resources and acting skills couldn't keep up, and his appearance couldn't beat it, so it was just a flash in the pan in the circle.

Pei Zhiqian broke up with Xu Junyan when he was the most popular.Pei Zhiqian is an emotionally clean person, he can't tolerate his lover selling his body for fame and status, maybe the set of unspoken rules is common in the circle, but it doesn't work here for Pei Zhiqian.

In order to save the last bit of face for Xu Junyan, Pei Zhiqian didn't tell Chen Mu why they broke up, but said that it was because of personality differences. Chen Mu respected personal privacy more, since Pei Zhiqian didn't want to say more, he wouldn't ask more.

After leaving Pei Zhiqian's place, when Chen Mu went to the garage to pick up the car, he found that Xu Junyan hadn't left yet. He was standing not far away, his eyes fixed on the windows of a certain floor.

Chen Mu paused, closed the half-open car door, and walked towards Xu Junyan.The golden hair was vigilant and threatened Chen Mu without hiding its hostility. Xu Junyan withdrew his gaze, and then turned his gaze to Chen Mu. When he saw Chen Mu, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes, as if he hadn't expected it. Chen Mu came out of Pei Zhiqian's house so quickly.

Of course, the surprise was only for a moment. When Chen Mu walked up to him, he had already smiled all over his face, "Hello, Mr. Chen."

"Hello."

Chen Mu looked at the other party carefully. In fact, Xu Junyan has good features and fair skin. He may not be outstanding in the colorful entertainment industry, but he is definitely a handsome guy among ordinary people.

Seemingly wanting to say something, Xu Junyan looked at Chen Mu hesitantly, Chen Mu saw this, and said, "If you have anything to say, you might as well just say it."

Xu Junyan hesitated for a moment, and asked, "You and Pei Zhiqian, you—"

Chen Mu didn't think there was anything to avoid about this topic, and said, "Pei Zhiqian and I are currently getting to know each other."

This answer is a bit reserved, and it can just verify Xu Junyan's guess. Whether it is appearance or career, Chen Mu can be said to be impeccable, and he is completely worthy of Pei Zhiqian. If it were someone else, Xu Junyan might still Jealousy, but the gap between him and Chen Mu is too great, only envy is left.

Xu Junyan twitched the corners of his mouth, and wanted to say congratulations, but his facial muscles were too stiff, and his smile was uglier than crying.Chen Mu was silent for a moment, then said, "Pei Zhiqian told me about your relationship."

Hearing this, Xu Junyan was taken aback for a moment, and tightened his hand holding the dog leash, "What did he... say?"

Chen Mu: "You guys have dated before."

"That's what he told you." Xu Junyan lowered his head and muttered, "By the way, there is one thing I want to ask you."

"what's up?"

Xu Junyan looked earnest, "He is a big star, and his public image is very important. I hope that your relationship can be kept secret."

Hearing this, Chen Mu's tone was rather playful: "I would like to ask, in what capacity did you say this to me?"

Xu Junyan was at a loss for words for a while.

Chen Mu would not pay attention to how many ex-boyfriends Pei Zhiqian had, just like Pei Zhiqian would not ask how many boyfriends he had, because that is already in the past tense. Although Xu Junyan is Pei Zhiqian's ex-boyfriend , but to Chen Mu, he was just a stranger.

"Announce or keep secret, I think Pei Zhiqian should tell me these words in person."

Xu Junyan took the initiative to apologize: "I'm sorry, I offended you." After a pause, he hurriedly said: "But homosexuality is always a marginal group that is not recognized by the mainstream. If Pei Zhiqian comes out publicly, it will definitely affect his career." It was devastating, and I don't want to see him get the public eye for it."

Chen Mu could understand Xu Junyan's thoughts, but——

"I always feel that if you really like someone, it's not about being self-righteous for the other person's good, but about not imposing your own ideas on the other person." People who can say in a relaxed tone that it's a big deal to quit the circle and change careers are definitely not Will be afraid of losing a large number of fans because of the announcement of sexual orientation.

Xu Junyan was silent when he heard this.

Chen Mu smiled and nodded to him, "I still have something to do, let's go first." After finishing speaking, Chen Mu drove away from here without looking at Xu Junyan again.

At the same time, after Chen Mu left, Li Yuze didn't stay at the golf course for long, and left after just finding a reason.Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will take root and sprout. Li Yuze felt that he had to find out the truth of the year.

After Yao Xin pushed him down the stairs and made him disabled, Yao Xin once visited him in the hospital and apologized to him.At that time, because of his physical disability, he was in pain and self-loathing all day long, so he didn't have the time to think about why Yao Xin knew that he liked Ji Zhun.The long rehabilitation has delayed a lot of time, and it has been a year since he was actually discharged from the hospital. From Ji Zhun, he learned that Yao Xin moved out of Ji's main house and lived alone in a villa in the suburbs, washing away the lead. , lived the life of ordinary people.

He had visited Yao Xin several times, but he could never be innocent when facing the person who made him disabled. If Yao Xin was not for Ji Zhun's mother, he would not be able to offend both of Ji and Yao's family. Absolutely not.

At this time, standing in front of the country villa with red bricks and green tiles, Li Yuze's eyes were gloomy. After a long time, he took two steps forward and rang the doorbell.

Ding dong.

The doorbell rang for a long time but no one came to answer the door. Li Yuze had to wonder if it was the wrong time for him to come. Just when he was hesitating whether to go back home, a gentle female voice came from behind: "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

Li Yuze turned around, and saw Yao Xin holding a vegetable basket, dressed plainly, and looking at him suspiciously.The two haven't seen each other for many years. Yao Xin didn't recognize that Li Yuze was normal at first. When the doubt in her eyes dissipated, Yao Xin said, "It's Yuze. Long time no see."

"Hello auntie."

Li Yuze had a polite smile on his face.

"Come in and sit."

Yao Xin stepped forward and opened the door, and then invited Li Yuze into the room.

"Good aunt."

Li Yuze followed Yao Xin into the house with a smile, and then offered to help Yao Xin carry the vegetable basket into the kitchen.

The limp on the left leg was quite obvious, and it was hard not to notice it. Yao Xin was silent for a moment, "Your leg—"

"Ji Zhun helped me find a famous doctor recently. The doctor said that there is a 60.00% certainty that my leg can be cured. Auntie, don't worry." Containing the hatred in his eyes, Li Yuze continued to smile and said: "I Help Auntie wash the dishes."

Yao Xin looked complicated, but finally nodded.

Afterwards, Li Yuze brought up the incident intentionally or unintentionally. Yao Xin was not stupid. Knowing that Li Yuze, who had not seen her for many years, must have come to ask her something, she simply picked the topic and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Since my aunt is so open, I'll just say it straight."

Li Yuze stopped laughing and asked, "I want to know how my aunt knows that I like Ji Zhun."

"..."

Yao Xin once promised Ji Zhun that the incident was over, and no one should mention it. Now Li Yuze suddenly came to ask her, and she didn't know how to answer.

Seeing that Yao Xin had something to hide, Li Yuze continued: "Auntie, I know you didn't mean to push me down the stairs. You are also eager to love your son. We are all victims, but the real murderer is at large. I am really not reconciled. , Auntie, please, tell me the truth about that year."

"sorry."

In fact, Yao Xin is still ignorant of the identity of the person who recorded that recording.

"I don't want to hear you say I'm sorry, we are all right." Li Yuze pleaded urgently, "Tell me, how do you know my sexual orientation and my feelings for Ji Zhun? Very important."

She couldn't help Li Yuze's begging, and Yao Xin was ashamed of Li Yuze herself, so she finally explained the recording to Li Yuze.Li Yuze listened carefully, not letting go of any details, but his heart became heavier and heavier until he fell into the abyss.

He knew that the recording that Yao Xin mentioned was a conversation in the hospital. There were only three people in the ward at that time, except for him, only Chen Mu and Ji Zhun were left. It must be a couple, and the biggest suspect here is Chen Mu.

But why is it Chen Mu?

Why is it Chen Mu who keeps saying that he likes him, but stabs him in the back?

At that moment, Li Yuze couldn't believe his ears. If Chen Mu really did it, what was the motive?And why did Chen Mu try to push him to the position of deputy director of the finance department?Could this be another pit, waiting for him to jump down?

Li Yuze didn't dare to think about it.

What is true and what is false?Or is it false to say that you like him, it is also false to agree to study abroad together, and it is even false to say that he is with Ji Zhun for revenge?

Li Yuze couldn't tell the difference.

Just then, there was another bell at the door.

Yao Xin dried the water drops on her hands, trotted over to open the door, Li Yuze followed behind Yao Xin in a daze, when the door was opened, and met Ji Zhun's cold star-like eyes, he was stunned for a moment, and turned back Feeling overwhelmed, I was about to say something when I heard Ji Zhun ask, "Why are you here?"
