Daily life of outdated stars

"I really want to say, I don't want to know."

Xu Jia knew that this was a trap carefully prepared for him. Once he showed his curiosity, Bailu would find a gap in his impenetrable barrier, and it would be difficult to completely break off the relationship between them.

But he really wanted to know an answer, to know who and why it was to destroy him.

Did he offend someone?

Was he in whose way?

Or, everything is just a coincidence, is he not so lucky?

Bailu pursed his lips, smiled reservedly, and said, "We'll talk about it when we get home."

"You go back first, I'll take a taxi there in a while."

"You don't want to ride in my car?"

"I have some personal matters to attend to."

"By the way, think about it, do you want to come to my place?"

Xu Jia didn't say anything, it was a tacit consent.

Bai Lu took a step back, with a somewhat dispirited look, and said, "It's nothing new, remember your rumored girlfriend in college?"

"I have some impressions."

"You pretended to be her boyfriend and helped her get rid of a man outside the school. Unfortunately, that man later became a senior executive of Lanhaitai."

"..."

"At that time, you made a big hit movie called "Ginkgo Blossoms"."

"It's not 'Ginkgo blossoms', it's 'Ginkgo blossoms'."

"Anyway, this movie exploded, and you got in the way of a money laundering movie."

"……What's the meaning?"

"The film specially chose an unpopular schedule, and originally wanted to create the illusion of a blockbuster film, but I didn't expect to meet your film.

"You have eaten up most of the film schedule and popularity, and fans are also closely watching the box office, making it difficult for the management of that movie to make small moves.

"In the end, I originally planned to launder 20 billion yuan, but I only laundered less than 18 million yuan, which is a difference of [-] billion yuan.

"The high-level executives of the TV station hate you, and the management also hates you. The two groups hit it off, and you really had bad luck that year, so you were directly kicked out of the cloud."

"Is that so?"

"The stars you've overwhelmed before did not do small moves, but they worked together as one, while you were besieged on all sides and faced enemies from both sides."

Xu Jia let out a long sigh of relief and said, "It seems that I have not been wronged."

Bailu actually nodded his head, thought about his words, and said: "You are very capable, and you have nothing to do wrong. Those people have spent a lot of energy to keep you from being popular, and they are always worried about when you will meet someone who is good. The opportunity soared into the sky."

"My brokerage company is also involved in this matter?"

"What do you think?"

"It's impossible not to participate."

Xu Jia seemed too rational and calm, which made Bai Lu's prepared consolation words redundant. He stared at his boyfriend, to be precise, his ex-boyfriend. After watching for a while, he said slowly, "You don't hate them?"

"..." Xu Jia didn't answer the question directly, but instead asked, "Isn't it cold?"

"Fortunately."

"Get in the car."

"What about you?"

Xu Jia took a deep breath and said, "I won't get in the car."

"Oh." Bailu stretched out his hand and tugged on the collar, with a look of no surprise.

Xu Jia hesitated for a few seconds, then said, "When I'm free, I'll treat you to a meal."

Bai Lu raised his chin slightly, and replied, "How about now?"

"I thought, you knew what I was talking about was an excuse."

"You investigated the truth for you, and you didn't even mean to invite me to dinner?"

Xu Jia didn't speak again.

He actually wanted to reply "I didn't ask you to help me investigate", but felt that this sentence was too cold and shouldn't be said.

He was indeed a little embarrassed, Bailu helped him investigate, and told him the truth directly, even for the sake of repaying his kindness, he shouldn't completely sever it.

Xu Jia thought for a while, and finally got the logic straight. It is true that Bailu helped him in this matter, but this is different from the relationship between them. If Bailu wants to repay the favor, it depends on him. Willing or not.

Xu Jia asked herself if she wanted to?

Obviously unwilling.

"Get in the car." Bailu said softly.

"Sorry, but..."

Bailu's body leaned forward slightly, with a gentle and intimate attitude, but the words he said were icy cold: "First the courtesy, then the soldiers, I have already given you enough steps, do you really want me to force you?"

"..."

"You seem to have a good friend named Zhou, right?"

"Bailu, it's quite shameless for you to act like this."

"But it's useful." Bai Lu turned around, got into the car, and sat on the inside, "Xu Jia, I've been waiting for you for too long."

Xu Jia didn't struggle anymore, and got into the car directly. He knew that his weakness was being manipulated, and if he hesitated, it would only make him look more ugly.

Assistant Zhang closed the door outside the car and returned to the passenger seat.The car started to drive slowly, and Xu Jia had no desire to speak, but the temperature of the air conditioner in the car was too high, so he had to take off his coat.

"Is it hot?" Bai Lu said the first thing after getting into the car.

"A little."

"Do you want some ice cream?"

"what?"

Bailu bent down, opened the secret small refrigerator, dug out a box of ice cream, and handed it over.

"I remember you liking this."

"Thank you." Xu Jia thanked her, but didn't reach out to accept it.

"Do you want me to feed you?"

Xu Jia took the ice cream neatly and stuffed it back into the refrigerator.

"You...you are so cute."

Bai Lu stroked his hair upwards, most of the loose sweater fell down, Xu Jia looked away, without any evil thoughts.

"That adjective doesn't fit me."

"I love you."

"You think I'll believe it?"

"If I don't love you, why do I go to such lengths to force you into the car."

"Probably just possessive."

"Then I don't have to wait for your exam to end."

"Maybe it's a conscience."

"You look at me, like a conscientious person?"

Xu Jia didn't expect that Bai Lu would even scold him when he became crazy, but he quickly realized that Bai Lu didn't care about it at all.

He doesn't care whether others regard him as a good person or a bad person, a normal person or a lunatic, he has so many things that he can do whatever he wants.

"Maybe you really love me." Xu Jia paused, and finally said the words that had been on his lips for a long time, "What does that have to do with me, I don't have any feelings for you now."
