The coquettish president was counterattacked

Gu Lizhao was always by his side.

This is Chu Pei's feeling all the time, and it was also the same during the three years when he left.

Now, Gu Lizhao was gone, but this feeling didn't disappear because of his revenge, on the contrary, it became clearer and more deeply rooted.

If it was because of "hate" towards Gu Lizhao before, what about now?Is it because of "hate"?

Bai Yina's missed call was also a thorn in his heart, and a thought flashed in his mind - Gu Lizhao is really still alive, and the whole world has been deceived by him.

If Gu Lizhao is still alive, Bai Yi must know where he is.

He was even concerned and had an unbelievable thought in confusion—maybe Gu Lizhao was imprisoned by Bai Yi, and he saved him.

All these thoughts are both weak and strong in Chu Pei's heart.

Weakness is because Chu Pei's rationality told him that Gu Lizhao was really gone.

It is powerful because his subconscious desire for "Gu Lizhao to live" is very strong.

He doesn't regret what he did to Gu Lizhao, he clearly knows that no matter whether he takes revenge or not, he will end up in a cocoon.

In the past, he was afraid of being dragged into the abyss by Gu Lizhao, but looking back now, he has actually been in the abyss all along, and this place has become his destination in the dark.

Perhaps, he was not forced to do so, but willingly.

In any case, "close to Bai Yi" will definitely not be a wrong choice.

Bai Yi left the cafe and got into the car.

He took out his mobile phone and clicked on WeChat. He found a contact with an all-black profile picture and a nickname of "L" in the address book. He typed a line with his beautiful fingers nimbly and lightly:

"He can't forget you."

After 2 minutes, he thought about it and sent another line:

"He said you were his father-killer."

As soon as he sent this message, the other party replied in time: "I see."

Then, Bai Yi briefly introduced the scene of dating Chu Pei on WeChat, and told "L" everything that Chu Pei planned to treat him as Gu Lizhao's shadow.

After another 2 minutes, "L" called in, and there was a hint of a smile in the magnetic low voice: "He is so naive, but don't worry, everything is under my control, our new game It would be more fun."

Even though he was in the car, Bai Yi couldn't help lowering his voice: "When are you going back to China?"

"L" sighed inexplicably: "That depends on when the "knight" beside me agrees. "

Meeting Bai Yi on a date was not an easy task, because Chu Pei was extremely busy with work, and on the third day after the meeting in the cafe, he flew to another city's production crew because of the start of a new play.

Work can make him temporarily forget the pain in his heart, and occasionally get rid of the shadow of Gu Lizhao in his mind, so he has been working hard to forget himself.

If there is no other announcement after his part is finished, he will stay in the crew until the whole play is finished, learn acting skills from the director, discuss the inner feelings of the characters with the screenwriter, and have fun with other actors...

He likes to stay on the crew until he forgets the time, just like in a dream, three months later, spring is quietly coming to an end, before he has time to appreciate the dynamics of spring buds sprouting, everywhere he looks is covered by Filled with expanses of verdant green.

The colorful flowers unknowingly bloomed and fell to the ground again, and the new movie that Chu Pei and Shen Nuo collaborated last year was finally on the agenda, scheduled to be released in mid-May.

After Shen Nuo disclosed his love affair, many CP fans were dissatisfied, and they all hoped that he would break up as soon as possible. The company was also extremely angry at his recklessness, and decided to allocate part of his resources to other obedient artists as a punishment for him.

But Shen Nuo didn't regret it. Bai Yi was very moved by his dedication. On the one hand, in order to save this relationship, and on the other hand, to compensate Shen Nuo, he used money to settle the high-level management of Shen Nuo's company, and took advantage of the most famous crisis. A public relations company minimized the negative impact of Shen Nuo on the Internet.

Bai Yi also bribed marketing accounts, large and small, and used clichés such as "follow the works and refuse to pay attention to the artist's private life", "an artist's public relationship is responsible to the fans", "CP fans should enclose the land and be cute" and other clichés to turn public opinion.

At the same time, in order to avoid being picked out as Shen Nuo's boyfriend, he also put in a lot of effort to suppress the news. He didn't want Shen Nuo's side to be settled yet, and the news on Xu Qiao's side was leaked.

Since that night, the relationship between him and Xu Qiao has been slightly awkward...

Near noon, at the office in KL.

Bai Yi got up and took off the beige suit jacket on the coat rack, and when he was putting it on smartly to go out for lunch, the phone on the table rang.

The caller ID shows "surnamed Chu".

Bai Yi suddenly felt a pain in his head. He thought that Chu Pei should have forgotten him after a few months of silence, but who knew that his ghost haunted him again.

Bai Yi: "Hey, are you sick?"

Chu Pei: "I finally returned to Yanshi, and I'm still very busy."

Bai Yi: "Don't call me when you're busy, pretend I don't exist."

Chu Pei chuckled lightly: "No, who knows if I'll be in Yanshi in a few days..."

Bai Yi lied: "I'm not in Yan City."

Chu Pei: "I don't believe it, besides... I will promote a new movie with Shen Nuo at Ziyuan Shopping Center this afternoon, so you can come too, I want to meet you."

Bai Yi frowned: "Chu Pei, you are really sick, how could I see you on an occasion with Shen Nuo?"

Chu Pei smiled indifferently: "We all know each other, wouldn't it be nice to have a cup of coffee and have a meal together?"

Bai Yi: "Not interested."

Just as he was about to hang up the phone, Chu Pei's voice became much more serious: "Bai Yi, if you don't agree, Mr. Xu will receive my greeting WeChat in two minutes."

Bai Yi clenched and loosened the fist hanging on the left side, gritted his teeth and compromised: "Okay, I promise you."

He walked out of the office restlessly, entered the elevator and ran into Xu Qiao who was also going downstairs for dinner.

When the two steel doors of the elevator opened and he saw Xu Qiao standing inside, his heart skipped a beat. Xu Qiao also pursed her slightly dry lips nervously.

To enter or not to enter, that is the question.

Just as Bai Yi was hesitating, the elevator door slowly closed again. Xu Qiao hurriedly reached out and pressed the "Open" button, smiling like a spring breeze: "Do you want to eat? Let's go together."

"okay."

Bai Yi walked into the elevator obediently, but the two of them still didn't dare to make direct eye contact.

After that night of ecstasy, Bai Yi didn't feel much at first, but Xu Qiao's behavior was always tinged with guilt, thinking that the impulsiveness of that night was sorry for Bai Yi, but this made Bai Yi, who was lying in a moral trough, stepping on two boats A deeper sense of guilt is born.

But Bai Yi's guilt is very contradictory, because sometimes he enjoys Xu Qiao's bewildered micro-expression in front of him as if he has done something wrong, and sometimes he can't help being shy or shy when he accidentally meets Xu Qiao's fiery gaze. guiltily avoided.

For example, in the elevator now, thinking of meeting Shen Nuo in the afternoon, he felt very guilty beside Xu Qiao at this moment, a little shy in his guilt.

"What do you want for lunch?"

Xu Qiao cleared her throat and asked solemnly.

"I'll eat whatever you eat, I don't pick."

Bai Yi replied with a smirk.

Both of them stared ahead.

Xu Qiao: "Then... okay."

After the elevator opened, Xu Qiao walked out first, and he led Bai Yi to a western restaurant with simple and elegant decoration.

There was almost no communication between the two during the meal, only the sound of knives and forks colliding with the plate, and the eyes that looked up were mainly looking at the pedestrians passing by outside the glass window.

"Recently, we don't seem to talk about anything personal except for work, right?"

Xu Qiao asked suddenly, trying his best to suppress the enthusiasm in his eyes, and looked at Bai Yi sincerely.

Bai Yi swallowed, and met his gaze with a smile: "Yes."

"..."

The atmosphere suddenly seemed more awkward.

Xu Qiao tasted the red wine and asked cautiously, "Do you hate me?"

Bai Yi blurted out: "Of course not."

Xu Qiao didn't let out a sigh of relief after hearing this answer: "But I thought you hated me, hated everything I... did."

Bai Yi put down the knife and fork, and took a sip of the red wine on hand: "Mr. Xu, I've never disliked you. No matter what you do, I like it."

Xu Qiao's heart was touched by his word "like", her eyes lit up, and a happy smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "Since that time...you seem to have ignored me."

Bai Yi pursed her lower lip shyly: "Mr. Xu, isn't it because you are avoiding me on purpose that I ignore you?"

"Really? I thought..." Xu Qiao smiled self-deprecatingly, and breathed a sigh of relief, "You don't want to see me, it seems that I misunderstood."

The two couldn't help but smile knowingly after resolving the small misunderstanding.

"So what are you doing tonight? I'd like to invite you to dinner and just accept my apology for my indifference during this time."

Xu Qiao thought for a while, and sincerely extended an invitation to him.

Bai Yi was a little moved, but...he still had to go to Chu Pei's appointment to meet Shen Nuo in the afternoon...he might not be able to enjoy the date tonight.

"I'm afraid I can't do it today," Bai Yi felt a tearing pain in his chest, "I have to go out in the afternoon, and I might not be able to make it in the evening."

"Oh, really?"

Xu Qiao's clear eyes dimmed for a moment.

"However, we can make an appointment tomorrow. Tomorrow is the weekend. Let's go to the movies together."

Bai Yi nervously tried to make amends.

Xu Qiao smiled lightly: "Okay."

Chu Pei found that even if he finally returned to Yanshi, his time would not be controlled by himself. Besides work, there was another person who would control his time.

After the event, Bai Yi went to the appointment on time, and he quietly brought Bai Yi into his lounge, where Shen Nuo was also waiting.

Chu Pei ordered Xiaotian to buy three cups of coffee, and then sent her away. There were only three of them in the lounge.

Chu Pei just took a sip of coffee when his mother called.

He frowned, feeling bad.

"Answer the phone."

Chu Pei got up and walked to the wall, with his back to them, Bai Yi and Shen Nuo looked at each other, Bai Yi raised his glass to please Shen Nuo's coffee cup.

Shen Nuo smiled lightly, and drank coffee with him.

Chu Pei pinched his brows irritably: "Hey, Mom."

Lin Li: "Xiao Pei, are you back?"

"Um."

His unwilling words seemed to be blocked in his throat and then suffocated.

Lin Li: "Great, I've arranged a blind date for you. Not far away, it's on the street where your event is going. Let's meet up."

Chu Pei lowered his voice: "Mom, I really don't need it."

Lin Li: "Don't think that I don't know your condition until you come home. Mother and child are connected, you have a very bad life, and I also know that you are deeply hurt. If the old one doesn't go away and the new one doesn't come, this person is I have selected them carefully, you have to meet them, if they are not suitable, I will change them for you, okay?"

Chu Pei pressed his forehead against the wall and reluctantly agreed, "Okay."

After he hung up the phone, he said to them expressionlessly: "I'll go out for a while, you can do what you want."
