[Star Volunteer] Spare tire love

After all, the dinner was not finished, and Yunqian has never thanked her brother for the troublesome phone call like that time—in the end, Yunqian, who was picked up by the driver, just said yes to Ziqi, and then the two separated , each other's hearts were filled with an inexplicable sourness.

That night, Yunqian suffered from insomnia. Since the first few years when she started studying abroad at the age of ten, she has rarely suffered from insomnia.She herself doesn't want to think about it, is it because of Ji Xiang, because of Ziqi, because of Hao Xun, because of Yili, because of the kiss...

The mood in "The Age of Innocence" has changed.

Everyone can definitely feel it.

Although there are still meetings every day, although everyone is working hard as always, and although the company's financial situation is getting better and better, but...

However, Yunqian and Ziqi stopped arguing and bickering.When two people meet each other, they often just smile or talk a few words, and then have nothing to say to each other.Most of the time, Ziqi stayed in ASE's recording studio and didn't go back to the company.Yunqian felt that he was avoiding her, even though it was kind, perhaps, that kiss had even more influence on him than on her.

And she was avoiding Ji Xiang.Arrange more announcements for him to go abroad, so that he will not be in the country, let alone the company, for at least three days a week; the regular meeting only talks about some important things and then disperses, minimizing the opportunities and time to meet him.

She knew why she did it,

But it was useless to do so, it just made her feel more tired and uncomfortable.

Because of her painful discovery, she has established her feelings for him, her love for him, and what's more terrible, her avoidance will not be reduced by a single bit. She even began to repel and loathe her own mentality; it has already implicated the entire company, and she founded The original intention of the age of innocence is not like this. What she wants is a united and harmonious team. She requires everyone who joins to do the same, but she is destroying herself. She hurts Ziqi and herself.

The senior was caught in the middle, she didn't know how much he knew about it, but his eyes became more and more melancholy.

ah!Everything was messed up by her.

"what happened?"

There was a sudden cold feeling on the forehead, whose hand was it.

In the afternoon, after 2 o'clock, Du Yunqian lay down on the big table in the company in a disfigured manner, with his head turned sideways to the sun, and his eyes squinted.Ji Xiang's sudden movement made her bounce up as if she wanted to be burned.

"It's okay." She got up, coughed, and lowered her eyes not to look at him.

"Haven't healed from the cold last time?" Ji Xiang sat down on the senior's chair, because it was the closest to her, and his tone was full of concern.

This is Ji Xiang, in this evasive chase, he keeps getting close to her.Yunqian didn't know what good deed she had done to make him treat her more tenderly.

No matter how busy he is, even in a foreign country, he will send a few text messages a day to report his safety; On dates or something, I just try to show up at company occasions, and always give her a few attentions. Then, the person who makes black coffee changes from the senior to Ji Xiang.

Then, the black coffee was replaced with milk coffee. He said that he was worried about her stomach.

But the more it was like this, the more it was just an intimate relationship as a friend, it was enough for Yunqian to start feeling unbearable.If it was still like the beginning of the contract, she might be happy to see him agree with her in this way, but now... everything has changed.

"It's okay." She flipped through the memo on the table unconsciously, "Why are you back, isn't there an announcement?"

"What about your announcement, isn't there an advertisement for Chasing Dream?" Ji Xiang didn't answer, but instead asked.

"When did you know my itinerary so well?" She couldn't help raising her eyes to glance at him, but in the end it made her face flush slightly, "The contract was terminated before the filming started yesterday." She quickly lowered her gaze again.

"Why terminate the contract?" He asked, she had never been like this, she would only be brave and not back down.

"Why do you have so many questions today?" She wanted to stand up, if she had known that he would be back, she might as well have answered the notification. Recently, she was too upset and her enthusiasm for work was not high.

"Yunqian—" He suddenly grabbed her hand, still feeling the coldness.

"Don't call me by my name." She paused, and then said, her voice was as cold as the temperature of his hand.

"What?" Ji Xiang also stood up, watching her break free from his hand.

"I said, don't call me by my name, don't call me Yunqian." That would make her want to cry.Why do you have to be so close, it's obvious that you can't get close to someone in your life.

"Then what should I call you?" Ji Xiang smiled helplessly, he didn't quite understand what was wrong with her, she seldom loses her temper, the only explanation can only be——

"Miss Du, manager Du, manager, whatever you want, just don't call me—"

"Let's go, I'll take you back to rest." He interrupted her and took her hand again, "It seems that you are too tired."

Yes, I am too tired, my heart is too tired.

"Even if you go back, you don't need to send it." She wanted to resist in the garage, but in the end he pushed her into the sports car.

No one spoke a word along the way.

Although Ji Xiang always had the expression of wanting to say something, in the end he just put his coat on her and took out a can of milk tea for her.

"If you're tired, go to sleep. I'll call you when I get home." Looking at her increasingly ugly face, he said softly.

Yunqian's brows just wrinkled even tighter.

Why do you treat her so well, since when did you treat each other so well? !

Until he was driving and answered a phone call.

"En...well...on the way to send Yunqian home...yes, it seems that today is not enough...well, another day."

After a few words, I hung up.

"Who?"

After asking, she wanted to bite off her tongue.

Ji Xiang glanced at her, then smiled, "It's Hao Xun, who wants to meet with me, it's okay, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Sure enough it was him.

The man who looked melancholy and silent when I saw Yili at her funeral,

Ji Xiang loves... the man.

Stinging, sharp stinging pain emanating from the heart to all the limbs.

"Stop," she whispered.

"En?" Ji Xiang was taken aback.

"I said stop!!" Her voice didn't rise, but she almost gritted her teeth.

"Yunqian?" Ji Xiang stepped on the brakes and stopped on the side of the road, "What's the matter? Are you uncomfortable? What happened?" Looking at her livid face, he became a little anxious.

"You go now." She got out of the car, pointed to the front, and looked at Ji Xiang who also came down with a look of astonishment. "Go to Jin Haoxun, what are you doing in a daze, go to him."

"Yunqian, it's okay, I'll take you home first." He shook his head, and wanted to grab her arm again.

"No, I have hands and feet, and you're afraid that I won't get lost," she said firmly, avoiding his hand. "Also, I told you to call me the manager."

"You can call me whatever you want, let me take you off first, it's not easy to call a taxi here!" Ji Xiang was a little annoyed by her inexplicable stubbornness, so he became even more stubborn.

"I'm the manager. I have the right to arrange the artist's itinerary. Hurry up. Do you hear that!!" She finally started to shout, regardless of whether she was making trouble for no reason. "Speak clearly, don't look melancholy from now on, I'll get angry just looking at it!" As he spoke, he kicked off the tires of the car, turned around and left resolutely.

It wasn't until the sound of the engine came from behind that she took a few steps dejectedly, squatting on the side of the road, watching an ant shuttle through the gap in the cement.

Don't cry!Never shed a single tear!Du Yunqian is not such a compassionate and sentimental young lady! !

"Brother? Send someone to pick me up."

In the passing traffic, the wind lifted the corners of her skirt, her young face had no more emotions, it was just calm, as calm as ashes.

——Qian, if you are tired, take a rest.

It's rare to have dinner together, my brother said at the dinner table.

—Are you urging me to get married?

Yunqian didn't take it seriously.

——I just don’t want you to be too tired.

Du Sichen didn't get too entangled in this topic, maybe she knew that his sister would never give in easily to others, except herself.

But in fact, what really made her tired was the scandal with Ji Xiang that went on for a whole week afterwards.

She always thought that her brother should take care of everything, but it seems that things always have accidents.

When the photo of her and Ji Xiang sitting in the car appeared, everything was like a spark falling on a haystack, out of control.

Before the elder brother intervened, within three days, the incident had already involved Hao Xun and Yi Li who was no longer there.

"Snapped!!"

Du Yunqian forcefully threw the gossip magazine with the headline "Multiple Relationships, Who Is Bisexual" on the cover, and then slid all the way to Ji Xiang's farthest place before stopping.

Her face was extremely ugly, and neither the senior nor Ziqi spoke. The office in the age of innocence has never been so heavy as it is today.

Only the person involved, Ji Xiang, with a calm expression, picked up the magazine and flipped through it.

"I'm introspecting, it's because I, the agent, didn't do my job well." After a long while, she whispered.

Ziqi wanted to say something, but the senior shook his head at him.

"I will deal with this matter, please don't be affected, and rest assured of your work." She took a deep breath.

"Don't force yourself too much, we won't go and find an announcement by ourselves when we're exhausted!" Once upon a time, Ziqi's occasional frankness would make Du Yunqian's heart ache so much.

Yunqian glanced at him, reluctantly, why was she just reluctant, she was trying to be brave.After more than half a month of work, she was exhausted physically and mentally from the constant and chaotic thoughts and emotions. I hope this messy news will not become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

"Okay, I see, everyone's schedule for next week—"

The phone rang suddenly, and the number showed that it was my brother. She picked it up without avoiding everyone.

"Qian, you go home immediately!"

There was an unquestionable order in Du Sichen's voice.

"Brother, I'm working, I'm a manager, and three of my subordinates rely on me for food, I can't just skip work if I skip work!!"

This indifferent and unreasonable attitude finally made Du Yunqian's suppressed everything begin to explode. Her voice was not loud, but her tone was very strong.

"Bringing up your job, isn't the news enough? Come back and explain clearly!" Obviously, Du Sichen was even more angry.

"If you want to say it, just say it on the phone, I can't go away now." She also insisted, and the two brothers and sisters began to stalemate like this.

"Okay, just talk on the phone, it's very simple, just a few words, you should stay away from that Ji Xiang as soon as possible, and it's best not to talk or see each other from today on."

"He is an artist from 'The Age of Innocence', why should I not talk to him or meet him?! Sorry, I can't do it!"

Everyone knew who they were talking about, the senior and Ziqi glanced at Ji Xiang, but Ji Xiang just looked at Yun Qian with a gloomy expression.

"Then disband the Age of Innocence for me!!" Du Sichen resolutely said.

"Brother, are you forcing me?" Yunqian exhaled.

"Am I forcing you? You are forcing everyone! I told you earlier that there are a lot of gossip in the entertainment industry, and it is not a place for a girl to set foot in. Leaving aside our family, do you know what background Ji Xiang is? Family, what are the consequences? Your willful behavior alone has caused so many troubles to so many people, do you think I didn’t investigate Ji Xiang and Jin Haoxun?! Even if I can withstand the pressure of those big families, don’t you worry about me? Did my sister put her feelings on such a man?!"

Yes, how could he forget, that is her brother, her brother who knows everything.

It turned out that it was all her fault, it was her fault, everything she did, she liked Ji Xiang, it was wrong before it even started, that's why.

"Okay, I'll go home, I'll go back now, are you satisfied?"

Her anger disappeared all of a sudden, she didn't know where it went, she just answered weakly.Maybe because of his last words, her feelings were indeed put on a hopeless road.

The phone was hung up, and all he met were worried eyes.

"Okay, the meeting is adjourned. Please refer to this week for next week's schedule. You can make your own arrangements. I'll go first." She didn't have the strength to explain.Stand up and walk out of the office.

"Yunqian."

When approaching the parking lot, Ji Xiang chased after him.She looked back at him, there was no light in her eyes, please, she was so tired.

"I'll go back and explain to you, okay?" He looked at her haggard look, his eyes were full of unbearable.

"What are you explaining?" Yun Qian smiled brightly, "If the scandal is true, you still have a reason to explain it, but now it's groundless, why are you explaining it?"

Yes, it was groundless, for him.

"Is it from my family... In that case, I will deal with it."

"No, as I said, I will deal with it, so you don't want to interfere." Yunqian shook her head. In any case, since Ji Xiang had given up his inheritance rights, she didn't want him to get involved in the troubled waters of the family again. Maybe it was better than this. Things are more troublesome and trickier.

"Yunqian!" Ji Xiang held her shoulder again as she was about to turn around and leave, firmly making it impossible for her to break free, and then, his gaze made her unable to avoid it.

"I don't know why you keep avoiding me recently, and I don't want to ask. If you feel so comfortable, it doesn't matter to me, but you are my friend, my good friend, and the most special person I have ever met. The most considerate girl, I have to protect you, do you understand?"

His eyes are so persistent, so clear,

She was so sincere that she couldn't respond, and she was deadlocked for a second,

I understand, I just understand too well that you only want to protect me as a friend, so...

"Then, let me solve it myself." She smiled and said softly.

"Yunqian!!"

"I told you, don't call me Yunqian."

At this time, she will really cry.

"Don't be childish!" He was anxious, and he should tolerate her, but not at this time.

"Yes, I'm childish, so don't worry about me, you live well, just don't worry me." She finally broke free from his grasp.Take a step back, "I sincerely hope that your relationship can have a good home and you can live happily."

The car where her brother came to pick her up has arrived.

They didn't say another word.

Enduring tears all the way, after seeing Du Sichen, finally shed them.

It’s okay if Ji Xiang doesn’t say those words,

said,

What should she do?

She can't take it.

"elder brother,"

"kindness?"

"I want to disband 'The Age of Innocence'."

"it is good."

"However, the contracts of the artists under me have not yet expired, and they are all my very good friends. Rather than saying that I am taking care of them, it is better to say that they have been taking care of me, so..."

"Don't worry, I understand, I will send Zhongxuan to take care of it until everyone finds a good way out."

"kindness."

"Would you like to speak to them?"

"No, I won't go. Starting from today, I don't want to see guests within a week. Let me be quiet."

"kindness."

"Brother, am I a failure?"

"Want to tell the truth?"

"kindness."

"The truth is, I'm glad you gave up, but I don't think this looks like my Du Sichen's sister."

"Oh, are you talking about me, or are you praising yourself?"

"It's all right, no matter what, I just hope that you are safe and happy."

peace, joy,

Forget that period of love that should have ended before it even started.

For, never see Ji Xiang again.
