"Master, are you alright?" Butler Chen hurriedly helped Xu Xizhou to support Zhuang Jingchun.
Xu Xizhou put his arms across Zhuang Jingchun's shoulders, and reached out to touch his face, the skin under his palm was extremely hot.
Is this guy sick?
"Zhuang Jingchun, what are you pretending to be?" Lu Rong saw Zhuang Jingchun lying in Xu Xizhou's arms, and stared at him through gritted teeth, "If I punch you, you will faint. How weak are you? Hurry up and fight back!" "
Steward Chen stood in front of Zhuang Jingchun with a serious face, "Mr. Lu, our young master has been sick for the past few days, and the fever just returned today. Today we came to pay respects to the old lady's birthday. Our young master is sincere, but you What have you done, beat up people when you come up, how can you treat guests like this!"
There was too much commotion here, the room manager of the hotel came over with a few employees and asked what happened and if they needed help.
Xu Xizhou glanced at the man leaning in his arms. Zhuang Jingchun's cheeks were pale, her lips had no trace of blood, and her thick and slender eyelashes trembled slightly.
"Zhuang Jingchun, can you still get up? Just say something."
"Xiaozhou, I..." Zhuang Jingchun opened his eyes, looking at him with light green eyes with watery glint, and wanted to say something, his eyes darkened, and his eyelids drooped again.
"Zhuang Jingchun!"
Xu Xizhou was a little flustered, and yelled at Housekeeper Chen who was still arguing with the hotel manager, "Stop arguing, call an ambulance quickly, he's fainted!"
Twenty minutes later, in a hospital in the city center.
Seeing Zhuang Jingchun lying safely on the hospital bed with an IV in his hand, Xu Xizhou finally let go of his hanging heart and turned to leave the ward.
Just two steps out of the door, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Mr. Xu, please stay!"
Chen Butler had just completed the hospitalization procedures, and walked over from the other side of the corridor, still holding a small bag of medicine in his hand.
When he lived in the garden, Butler Chen took great care of him.Although Xu Xizhou didn't want to stay longer, he still greeted him with a polite smile on his face.
"Mr. Xu, I know it's presumptuous of me to say this, but can you please wait for the young master to wake up before leaving?" Chen Guanjia said.
Xu Xizhou lowered his eyes, expressionless on his face.
"I think, there should be no shortage of escorts around your young master, you don't need me."
"Mr. Xu, I didn't mean that. You don't know, the young master was sick a few days ago and had a high fever. The family doctor came to treat him and the fever went away, but after the fever subsided, he felt sick. Well, no matter how much you refuse to take medicine, let alone go to the hospital for follow-up visits, we can't persuade you no matter what."
"You can't persuade me, and you still want to count on me?"
Steward Chen sighed softly, "Mr. Xu, the reason why the young master did this is because you moved out of the garden. He refused to take the medicine, probably because he felt guilty and tortured himself like this."
Hearing this, Xu Xizhou didn't know what it was like in his heart. He originally thought that after he moved out of the garden, Zhuang Jingchun might feel that he had got rid of a big burden, and his life would be much more comfortable.
Unexpectedly, it was not what he imagined at all.Knowing that Zhuang Jingchun is also in a depressed state these days, he feels better inexplicably.
"Mr. Xu, I watched the young master grow up. I don't know if there is any misunderstanding between you and the young master, but I can tell that the young master has feelings for you. Mr. Xu, please help me Advise him."
Seeing Steward Chen's pleading face, Xu Xizhou frowned, and reluctantly said, "Okay."
Xu Xizhou returned to the ward.
He sat on the chair beside the hospital bed, staring at Zhuang Jingchun's face.It was rare to see this guy so weak, and when he got sick all his life, this face that made him grit his teeth with hatred seemed to be a bit pleasing to the eye.
Xu Xizhou looked away, and his eyes fell on the fruit basket by the bed.Anyway, there's nothing to do, let's peel an apple first.
He washed the fruit knife, picked a big, red apple, and peeled the fruit bit by bit.When it was cut halfway, a weak voice suddenly sounded in the ear.
"Be careful, don't cut your hand."
Realizing that it was Zhuang Jingchun who woke up, Xu Xizhou paused while peeling the apple, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Zhuang Jingchun, are you insane? What are you doing at my grandma's birthday party, and even fighting with Lu Rong? It's a joke for other people!"
Zhuang Jingchun lowered her long eyelashes, showing a somewhat pale smile, "I'm sorry, I only went there after receiving the invitation. But my intention was not to spoil the banquet. I don't want to fight, if Lu Rong didn't cheat on you..."
He raised his hand subconsciously and touched the bruise on the right side of his face.
"If I had the strength, I would have punched him too."
"You still want to beat Lu Rong just because you look so sick?" Xu Xizhou laughed mockingly, "I don't even want to take medicine, I think you should stop thinking about your cold and just lie on the hospital bed until the New Year's Eve Bar."
Although his tone was distasteful, there was concern inside and outside the words, Zhuang Jingchun smiled softly, and stared at him with green eyes.
"Xiaozhou, thank you for your concern, I will take the medicine on time."
Xu Xizhou snorted coldly, and only lowered his head to finish peeling the remaining apples.
He held an apple in his hand and brought it to Zhuang Jingchun.
"Want to eat?"
Zhuang Jingchun looked up at him, with joy and expectation in her eyes, she subconsciously opened her mouth.
However, in the next second, Xu Xizhou withdrew his hand, brought the apple to his mouth, and took a big bite.
"This apple is quite sweet, I'll help you taste it, don't you mind?"
Zhuang Jingchun stared at his extraordinarily rosy lips after being stained with the pulp juice, her throat moved, but she didn't speak.
"I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you. If you want to eat and drink, you can find a nurse yourself."
After saying this, Xu Xizhou gnawed on an apple and strode out of the ward.
Zhuang Jingchun looked at his leaving back, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up.
Xu Xizhou came out of the hospital, finished eating the apples, and threw the cores into the trash can.
On a cold and windy night in the depths of winter, he wrapped his down jacket tightly and was about to reach out to hail a taxi when a black Bentley stopped in front of him.
The window of the back seat was lowered, revealing Lu Rong's Qingjun face.
He looked as if he was sober, his black eyes were particularly deep, staring at Xu Xizhou firmly.
"Xiao Zhou, let me take you home."
Thinking of what Lu Rong said to him in the lounge just now, as well as his deviant behavior, Xu Xizhou felt a little terrified, and quickly shook his head.
"No, I'll take a taxi and go back by myself."
"Then how can it work? It's late at night and the weather is cold, so it's not easy for you to stop the car." Lu Rong's tone was worried.
Think about it.He asked again, "Are you still angry because I beat Zhuang Jingchun before? I was drunk and impulsive at the time. I really didn't mean it, Xiaozhou, can you forgive me?"
Xu Xizhou pursed his lips, but did not speak.Whether he beats Zhuang Jingchun or not doesn't matter to him now.
After Lu Rong said something to the driver, he got out of the car and walked up to Xu Xizhou.
"Xiao Zhou, let's have a good talk."
This is the entrance of the hospital, people come and go, Xu Xizhou thought that he didn't dare to do anything to him, so he nodded.
The two walked under a tree. There were no street lights here, and it was relatively secluded.
"When I was in the lounge before, I was a little impulsive. I said something that might have scared you. Do you still mind now?"
Xu Xizhou frowned slightly, "I can understand that you are drunk. Don't worry, I won't take those words seriously."
Lu Rong laughed at himself, staring at Xu Xizhou with a trace of fanaticism in his eyes.
"I was drunk at the time, but...it was because I was drunk that I had the courage to speak out what was in my heart, and then I realized what I really wanted."
Hearing this, Xu Xizhou vaguely had a bad premonition, he took a step back unconsciously, and the next moment, his shoulders were held by the young man in front of him.
Lu Rong's black eyes were particularly dazzling, staring straight at him.
"Xiaozhou, I just realized today that I don't regard you as a younger brother at all. The reason why I care about you so much and hate Zhuang Jingchun so much is because... I like you."
Hearing the last four words, Xu Xizhou seemed to be struck by a thunderbolt in his mind.He widened his eyes and looked at Lu Rong in disbelief.
"You haven't sobered up yet, what are you talking about?"
"Xiaozhou, I'm serious. I'm sober now." Lu Rong clasped his shoulders tightly with both hands, his black eyes were burning.
"Since you have broken up with Zhuang Jingchun now, wouldn't it be better to stay with me? Don't worry, I will treat you better than Zhuang Jingchun. I can give you what Zhuang Jingchun gives you. "
Xu Xizhou looked at him like he was crazy.
"Lu Rong, do you know what you're talking about? Like me? And what about your daughter of the Lin family? If your father finds out about this, what will happen, can you bear it?"
Lu Rong didn't think much of it at all, and confessed as soon as he got hot-headed, and now being questioned by Xu Xizhou one after another, Junxiu's face became more and more ugly.
Xu Xizhou grabbed his dead point, but his nerves were not as tense as before. He laughed mockingly, and looked up at Lu Rong.
"You said you liked me, but do you dare to say this in front of Lu's family? Are you afraid that Lu Feng will deny you as a son in a fit of anger and send you back to your adoptive parents?"
Lu Rong's face was slightly pale.
"Dad...he won't do that. After all, I'm his own."
"Really? I have stayed in the Lu family for 18 years. He knows that I like men, so he is so angry that he wants to sever the father-son relationship with me? Do you think that once you have this stain on you, he will value you more? "
The smile on Lu Rong's face was a bit forced, "Xiaozhou, let's not think too much about it, okay? This is all for the future. As long as you are willing to promise me now, I will definitely find a way to solve these problems."
Xu Xizhou sneered.
"Lu Rong, admit it, you like yourself more than you like me. Future, reputation, family, which one of these can you let go? We are not the same way at all. I can't bear your liking!"
After saying this, Xu Xizhou didn't bother to look at his reaction, so he turned his head and left.
Back at the apartment, Xu Xizhou felt a headache when he thought about what he had experienced today.
Instead, he misses Ren's family very much now. The next morning, he bought a plane ticket and flew back to City B.
After returning to Ren's house, he just bored himself in the room and didn't want to go anywhere. He spent most of the day running laps on the simulator, and sat on the bay window in a daze when he was tired from running.
Dong dong dong, there was a knock on the door suddenly.
Without much energy, he jumped out of the bay window to open the door. It was Shu Yue standing outside, holding a tray with several plates of snacks in his hand.
"Xiaozhou, I think you've been unhappy since you returned to City B. Did you encounter any unpleasant things in Wancheng?"
Shu Yue entered the room, put the tray on the table, and looked at him with concern.
Xu Xizhou lowered his eyes and stared at the delicately shaped snacks on the table. After a long time, he said softly, "I broke up with Zhuang Jingchun."
Shu Yue's expression froze, but there was not much surprise in her eyes.
"Mom, you go out first, don't ask me why, I just want to be alone."
Xu Xizhou didn't seem to want to talk about this topic, so he sat back on the bay window.
Shu Yue gave a light acknowledgment without disturbing him, and left the room with the empty tray.
Walking up the spiral staircase, she leaned on the railing and looked at Ren Duo downstairs who was sitting on the sofa watching TV and applying a facial mask, thoughtfully.
"Aunt Shu, why did you come down so soon? Didn't you talk to Xiao Zhou?"
Seeing the preoccupied look on Shu Yue's face, Ren Duo's delicate eyebrows showed a trace of concern.
"Xiaoduo, just now Xiaozhou told me that he broke up with Zhuang Jingchun."
"Ah, why so suddenly? Could it be that Zhuang Jingchun did something to offend our boat?!" After a brief surprise, Ren Duo looked angry.
"Actually... I am also responsible for this matter, I let Xiao Zhuang do this." A trace of self-blame flashed across Shu Yue's face, and she did not know what to think of, and her eyes were stained with determination.
"But I don't regret it. If one day Xiaozhou finds out the truth and blames me, I will understand."
"Aunt Shu, I don't understand why you did this? Didn't you like Zhuang Jingchun before?"
"That's because I didn't know Zhuang Jingchun at all before!"
Shu Yuexiu frowned slightly, and told Ren Duo everything about how she found out about the agreement.
"My God, it turns out that the two of them are together because of an agreement! This Zhuang Jingchun is really going to take advantage of the fire!"
"The matter has come to this point, and it is meaningless to worry about the past. Now that they have broken up, Xiaozhou can also have the opportunity to meet better people."
Ren Duo nodded in agreement, and suddenly found that Shu Yue was looking at her, with a trace of anticipation and anxiety in her eyes.
"Xiaoduo, you often socialize outside and have a wide network of contacts. Do you know any young and handsome boys with a good temper and personality?"
Ren Duo's eyes widened, and the mask on his face almost couldn't stretch.
"Aunt Shu, you mean... you want me to introduce someone to Xiaozhou?"
"If Xiaozhou wants to come out, he must meet new people. Why? Is my idea okay?"
With a smile on his face, Ren Duo tore off the mask on his face and patted his moist cheeks.
"Of course it's okay. I just think you're quite trendy. Let me think about it. I know a lot of young and handsome people, but if you have a good temper..."
Ren Duo's dark eyes rolled, and a figure suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Yes, Xiao Zhou will definitely like this person!"
night.
Xu Xizhou finished his physical training in the gym with a towel around his neck. He had just returned to his bedroom to take a shower when there was a knock on the door.
"Xiao Zhou, are you in there?"
Hearing Ren Duo's voice, Xu Xizhou frowned slightly.
"Sister, come in directly, the door is unlocked."
Ren Duo straightened her hair, smiled, and walked in.
"Why are you sweating so much? Were you exercising just now?" Ren Duo took the towel around his neck and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
"I'm about to take a bath, sister, what can you do for me?"
Ren Duo Mingyan had a smile on her face and a concerned tone of voice, which was very natural.
"Isn't this the day after tomorrow you're going to attend the premiere of the movie? You probably don't have many suits in your closet. I have a friend who makes custom suits. I'll take you there. How about ordering a new suit?"
"Is it too much trouble to customize? There should be too little time."
"Don't worry, I'm a super VIP customer. I place an order in the morning, and she can finish it in the evening."
Seeing his hesitation, Ren Duo didn't seem to want to go, so she launched a coquettish offensive, blinked her eyes, and stared at him with bright eyes.
"I'm stuck at home every day, so bored to death, Xiao Zhou, why don't you go out with me for a stroll."
Xu Xizhou never knew how to deal with girls, and Ren Duo was only a few years older than him. Looking at the pleading eyes of the other party, he was immediately defeated.
"Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow."
"Then it's settled, I'll call you back tomorrow."
The next morning, Ren Duo knocked on his door and woke him up.
After he washed and changed his clothes, he opened the door and found that Ren Duo was already waiting outside.
She was wearing a camel cashmere coat, a pair of black boots, big wavy hair, and a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of her beautiful nose.
"If you go outside dressed like this, you won't be recognized by fans, right?" Xu Xizhou was a little worried for her.
"Don't worry, that place is very secret."
Ren Duo flicked her long curly hair, put her hands on Xu Xizhou's shoulders, her red lips curled up slightly.
"Let's go."
The tailor-made clothing store that Ren Duo mentioned was not in the downtown area, but in a small villa in the suburbs.
It is said to be a villa, but it is actually more like a private studio.The nameplate of the studio is printed on the door, and it is surrounded by green plants, providing excellent privacy.
Xu Xizhou followed Ren Duo in and met the designer of the studio.She was a woman in her early thirties, with a gentle temperament, wearing a uniquely designed cotton and linen dress, and a jade bracelet on her hand.
"This is my fashion designer, you can call her Sister An. Sister An has designed clothes for many celebrities." Ren Duo introduced to Xu Xizhou with a smile.
"You are Xiaozhou. I heard Ren Duo say it a few times. You have similar eyebrows and eyes to your sister."
Xu Xizhou smiled slightly and shook hands with Sister An.
"Let me take you in to measure the size first, then see what style you like, and try it on first."
Xu Xizhou glanced at Ren Duo.
"Don't worry, this is your sister's old acquaintance. The clothes made are definitely suitable for you, so hurry up."
Xu Xizhou nodded and followed Sister An into the inner room.While measuring his waistline, he suddenly heard voices coming from outside, as if someone else had come.
After measuring the size, he tried on several suits, and among them he chose a dark gray one with dark stripes.Sister An was very satisfied, and smiled and asked him to wear it out for Ren Duo to see.
"Sister, what do you think of me wearing this suit?"
He opened the door curtain, and just as he finished speaking, he found a strange man standing in front of him.
This man was taller than him, young and handsome, with a unique cool aura.
Xu Xizhou froze for a moment, always felt that the man's face looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
"This suit suits you quite well, but the waist is a little bigger and needs to be narrowed down."
The man's voice was also nice, like the sound of a jade flute suddenly sounding in an empty bamboo forest, the timbre was clear and ethereal.
Ren Duo also came over and looked at Xu Xizhou with a smile.
"Let's just use this set, just change it up a bit, and I'll be attending the premiere tomorrow."
"Are you an actor too?" The man looked at him with a smile.
Xu Xizhou shook his head, and looked at Ren Duo behind him with some doubts.
"He's a race car driver. He's a beggar from Bai Yue. We insisted on dragging him into the crew to play the male supporting role. My younger brother is handsome and kind-hearted, so I agreed."
"Bai Yue has such a picky personality, and he seldom takes a fancy to anyone at a glance. It seems that your brother is a very good seedling."
Ren Duo pulled Xu Xizhou around and looked around.
"Sister, who is this person?" Xu Xizhou whispered in her ear.
"You don't even know him?" Ren Duo's eyes widened slightly, looking at Xu Xizhou helplessly, "Think about it carefully."
Xu Xizhou glanced at the young man, and that familiar feeling came again, as if he had seen this face in a movie... or on TV?
"Stupid boy, are you so busy racing cars every day that you don't even watch movies? He won Best Actor the year I won Best Actor. And I'm the youngest Best Actor in history!"
After being told by Ren Duo, Xu Xizhou immediately remembered that he had seen a martial arts movie made by a man.The appearance of him in white clothes and holding a long sword left a deep impression on his mind.
"Let me introduce, my name is Su Fan." The man walked over with a smile and held out his hand.
"I don't know what your name is?"
It turned out to be a well-known film king. Looking at his face, he probably has more fans than Ren Duo.Xu Xizhou smiled awkwardly, reached out and shook his hand.
"My name is Xu Xizhou. Sorry, I don't read enough entertainment news, so I didn't recognize you."
"It's okay, don't you know each other now?"
Su Fan smiled gently.
Ren Duo secretly covered his mouth and smiled when he saw the scene of the two shaking hands.
She sent the two of them to the courtyard on the pretext that she had something to say to Sister An.
There are rockery and flowing water in the courtyard, and goldfish are raised in the artificial lake.Xu Xizhou didn't know what to say to Su Fan, so he sat on a stool by the lake and stared at the goldfish in a daze.
"How many years younger than me, can I call you Xiaozhou?" Su Fan's voice rang in his ears.
Xu Xizhou turned his head and glanced at her. For a moment, he almost thought he saw Zhuang Jingchun.
He finally understood where that sense of familiarity came from, not only because Su Fan often appeared on the screen, but also because of his cold temperament, which was very similar to Zhuang Jingchun.
Realizing that he thought of Zhuang Jingchun again, Xu Xizhou clicked his tongue in annoyance.
"Call it whatever you want."
"You don't seem to be in a good mood. I heard from Ren Duo that you are going to attend the premiere of the movie tomorrow, are you too nervous?"
Xu Xizhou smiled, "I'm not the leading actor, so there's nothing to be nervous about, anyway, I'll just go through the motions when the time comes."
"That can't be done. Countless cameras will be on you. If you want to go through the motions, those gossip reporters will not let you go."
"After what you said, I don't even want to go to the premiere. It's better to play games at home."
Su Fan chuckled twice, "I didn't like walking on the red carpet when I first debuted, but I gradually got used to it. Sometimes I feel satisfied when I am admired by thousands of people and chased by countless cameras."
Xu Xizhou nodded in agreement.
"By the way, I opened a private gallery nearby, and your mother's works are also included in it. Are you interested in going to see it?"
Anyway, idle is idle, Xu Xizhou looked at Su Fan's earnest gaze, and hummed lightly.
In the evening, as soon as Xu Xishou returned to Ren's house, he was pulled aside by Ren Duo.
"Have you had fun this afternoon? What do you think of Su Fan?"
Xu Xizhou took off the scarf around his neck and put it on the sofa.
"He's very nice and invited me to dinner, but sister, what's the matter with you and sister An? How did you talk all afternoon?"
"Anyway, it's an important matter, you don't need to worry about it. By the way, did Su Fan ask you for WeChat?"
"Well. I added him."
Xu Xizhou liked that martial arts movie quite a bit, and he was probably a fan of Su Fan's movie. When he saw an idol asking for WeChat, Xu Xizhou naturally gave it without thinking.
"Great, well added!" Ren Duo clapped his hands, the joy of the whole person was beyond words.
"Sister, why are you so happy?"
Ren Duo was afraid that he would see that this was a chance encounter he deliberately created, so he laughed dryly twice, and stretched out his hand to smooth the messy hair on Xu Xizhou's head.
"I'm happy because you have an extra friend in City B, which is great. You should keep in touch with Su Fan more, and don't stay at home all day long."
"Well, I'll go up first."
Late at night, in a certain bar in Wancheng.
Bai Yue shook the Margaret in the glass, looked at Zhuang Jingchun beside him, and sighed resentfully.
"Tell me about you, the ducks you get can fly away. I thought you would have been together long ago after half a year. I didn't expect... You are such an elm head! If your mother doesn't agree, just listen to her obediently." , and don't resist?"
Zhuang Jingchun took a sip of whiskey and frowned slightly.
"What my aunt said is very reasonable. I really should give Xiaozhou a chance to choose freely."
"Why can't you turn the corner with your brain? Anyway, you have to tell Xu Xizhou the truth! Are you not afraid that Xu Xizhou will meet some young and handsome young meat in City B, and then move on?"
Zhuang Jingchun clenched the cup tightly in her hand, her face was a little gloomy.Lu Rong is already difficult enough to deal with, if another man appears beside Xiao Zhou...
Bai Yue sighed, took out an invitation letter from his pocket and gave it to him.
"Tomorrow night, the movie that Xu Xizhou participated in will have its premiere at B. This is the invitation letter. Whether you take this opportunity or not is up to you."
"I still have a party, so I won't drink with you here, byebye."
Zhuang Jingchun stared at the invitation letter on the bar with deep eyes.
The author has something to say:
The green tea-flavored Xiaozhuang began a long journey to chase his wife...
For the sake of being so thick and long today, please leave a message┭┮﹏┭┮
Xu Xizhou put his arms across Zhuang Jingchun's shoulders, and reached out to touch his face, the skin under his palm was extremely hot.
Is this guy sick?
"Zhuang Jingchun, what are you pretending to be?" Lu Rong saw Zhuang Jingchun lying in Xu Xizhou's arms, and stared at him through gritted teeth, "If I punch you, you will faint. How weak are you? Hurry up and fight back!" "
Steward Chen stood in front of Zhuang Jingchun with a serious face, "Mr. Lu, our young master has been sick for the past few days, and the fever just returned today. Today we came to pay respects to the old lady's birthday. Our young master is sincere, but you What have you done, beat up people when you come up, how can you treat guests like this!"
There was too much commotion here, the room manager of the hotel came over with a few employees and asked what happened and if they needed help.
Xu Xizhou glanced at the man leaning in his arms. Zhuang Jingchun's cheeks were pale, her lips had no trace of blood, and her thick and slender eyelashes trembled slightly.
"Zhuang Jingchun, can you still get up? Just say something."
"Xiaozhou, I..." Zhuang Jingchun opened his eyes, looking at him with light green eyes with watery glint, and wanted to say something, his eyes darkened, and his eyelids drooped again.
"Zhuang Jingchun!"
Xu Xizhou was a little flustered, and yelled at Housekeeper Chen who was still arguing with the hotel manager, "Stop arguing, call an ambulance quickly, he's fainted!"
Twenty minutes later, in a hospital in the city center.
Seeing Zhuang Jingchun lying safely on the hospital bed with an IV in his hand, Xu Xizhou finally let go of his hanging heart and turned to leave the ward.
Just two steps out of the door, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Mr. Xu, please stay!"
Chen Butler had just completed the hospitalization procedures, and walked over from the other side of the corridor, still holding a small bag of medicine in his hand.
When he lived in the garden, Butler Chen took great care of him.Although Xu Xizhou didn't want to stay longer, he still greeted him with a polite smile on his face.
"Mr. Xu, I know it's presumptuous of me to say this, but can you please wait for the young master to wake up before leaving?" Chen Guanjia said.
Xu Xizhou lowered his eyes, expressionless on his face.
"I think, there should be no shortage of escorts around your young master, you don't need me."
"Mr. Xu, I didn't mean that. You don't know, the young master was sick a few days ago and had a high fever. The family doctor came to treat him and the fever went away, but after the fever subsided, he felt sick.

"Mr. Xu, I watched the young master grow up. I don't know if there is any misunderstanding between you and the young master, but I can tell that the young master has feelings for you. Mr. Xu, please help me Advise him."
Seeing Steward Chen's pleading face, Xu Xizhou frowned, and reluctantly said, "Okay."
Xu Xizhou returned to the ward.
He sat on the chair beside the hospital bed, staring at Zhuang Jingchun's face.It was rare to see this guy so weak, and when he got sick all his life, this face that made him grit his teeth with hatred seemed to be a bit pleasing to the eye.
Xu Xizhou looked away, and his eyes fell on the fruit basket by the bed.Anyway, there's nothing to do, let's peel an apple first.
He washed the fruit knife, picked a big, red apple, and peeled the fruit bit by bit.When it was cut halfway, a weak voice suddenly sounded in the ear.

Zhuang Jingchun lowered her long eyelashes, showing a somewhat pale smile, "I'm sorry, I only went there after receiving the invitation. But my intention was not to spoil the banquet. I don't want to fight, if Lu Rong didn't cheat on you..."
He raised his hand subconsciously and touched the bruise on the right side of his face.
"If I had the strength, I would have punched him too."
"You still want to beat Lu Rong just because you look so sick?" Xu Xizhou laughed mockingly, "I don't even want to take medicine, I think you should stop thinking about your cold and just lie on the hospital bed until the New Year's Eve Bar."
Although his tone was distasteful, there was concern inside and outside the words, Zhuang Jingchun smiled softly, and stared at him with green eyes.
"Xiaozhou, thank you for your concern, I will take the medicine on time."
Xu Xizhou snorted coldly, and only lowered his head to finish peeling the remaining apples.
He held an apple in his hand and brought it to Zhuang Jingchun.
"Want to eat?"
Zhuang Jingchun looked up at him, with joy and expectation in her eyes, she subconsciously opened her mouth.
However, in the next second, Xu Xizhou withdrew his hand, brought the apple to his mouth, and took a big bite.
"This apple is quite sweet, I'll help you taste it, don't you mind?"
Zhuang Jingchun stared at his extraordinarily rosy lips after being stained with the pulp juice, her throat moved, but she didn't speak.
"I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you. If you want to eat and drink, you can find a nurse yourself."
After saying this, Xu Xizhou gnawed on an apple and strode out of the ward.
Zhuang Jingchun looked at his leaving back, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up.
Xu Xizhou came out of the hospital, finished eating the apples, and threw the cores into the trash can.
On a cold and windy night in the depths of winter, he wrapped his down jacket tightly and was about to reach out to hail a taxi when a black Bentley stopped in front of him.
The window of the back seat was lowered, revealing Lu Rong's Qingjun face.
He looked as if he was sober, his black eyes were particularly deep, staring at Xu Xizhou firmly.
"Xiao Zhou, let me take you home."
Thinking of what Lu Rong said to him in the lounge just now, as well as his deviant behavior, Xu Xizhou felt a little terrified, and quickly shook his head.
"No, I'll take a taxi and go back by myself."
"Then how can it work? It's late at night and the weather is cold, so it's not easy for you to stop the car." Lu Rong's tone was worried.
Think about it.He asked again, "Are you still angry because I beat Zhuang Jingchun before? I was drunk and impulsive at the time. I really didn't mean it, Xiaozhou, can you forgive me?"
Xu Xizhou pursed his lips, but did not speak.Whether he beats Zhuang Jingchun or not doesn't matter to him now.
After Lu Rong said something to the driver, he got out of the car and walked up to Xu Xizhou.
"Xiao Zhou, let's have a good talk."
This is the entrance of the hospital, people come and go, Xu Xizhou thought that he didn't dare to do anything to him, so he nodded.
The two walked under a tree. There were no street lights here, and it was relatively secluded.
"When I was in the lounge before, I was a little impulsive. I said something that might have scared you. Do you still mind now?"
Xu Xizhou frowned slightly, "I can understand that you are drunk. Don't worry, I won't take those words seriously."
Lu Rong laughed at himself, staring at Xu Xizhou with a trace of fanaticism in his eyes.
"I was drunk at the time, but...it was because I was drunk that I had the courage to speak out what was in my heart, and then I realized what I really wanted."
Hearing this, Xu Xizhou vaguely had a bad premonition, he took a step back unconsciously, and the next moment, his shoulders were held by the young man in front of him.
Lu Rong's black eyes were particularly dazzling, staring straight at him.
"Xiaozhou, I just realized today that I don't regard you as a younger brother at all. The reason why I care about you so much and hate Zhuang Jingchun so much is because... I like you."
Hearing the last four words, Xu Xizhou seemed to be struck by a thunderbolt in his mind.He widened his eyes and looked at Lu Rong in disbelief.
"You haven't sobered up yet, what are you talking about?"
"Xiaozhou, I'm serious. I'm sober now." Lu Rong clasped his shoulders tightly with both hands, his black eyes were burning.
"Since you have broken up with Zhuang Jingchun now, wouldn't it be better to stay with me? Don't worry, I will treat you better than Zhuang Jingchun. I can give you what Zhuang Jingchun gives you. "
Xu Xizhou looked at him like he was crazy.
"Lu Rong, do you know what you're talking about? Like me? And what about your daughter of the Lin family? If your father finds out about this, what will happen, can you bear it?"
Lu Rong didn't think much of it at all, and confessed as soon as he got hot-headed, and now being questioned by Xu Xizhou one after another, Junxiu's face became more and more ugly.
Xu Xizhou grabbed his dead point, but his nerves were not as tense as before. He laughed mockingly, and looked up at Lu Rong.
"You said you liked me, but do you dare to say this in front of Lu's family? Are you afraid that Lu Feng will deny you as a son in a fit of anger and send you back to your adoptive parents?"
Lu Rong's face was slightly pale.
"Dad...he won't do that. After all, I'm his own."
"Really? I have stayed in the Lu family for 18 years. He knows that I like men, so he is so angry that he wants to sever the father-son relationship with me? Do you think that once you have this stain on you, he will value you more? "
The smile on Lu Rong's face was a bit forced, "Xiaozhou, let's not think too much about it, okay? This is all for the future. As long as you are willing to promise me now, I will definitely find a way to solve these problems."
Xu Xizhou sneered.
"Lu Rong, admit it, you like yourself more than you like me. Future, reputation, family, which one of these can you let go? We are not the same way at all. I can't bear your liking!"
After saying this, Xu Xizhou didn't bother to look at his reaction, so he turned his head and left.
Back at the apartment, Xu Xizhou felt a headache when he thought about what he had experienced today.
Instead, he misses Ren's family very much now. The next morning, he bought a plane ticket and flew back to City B.
After returning to Ren's house, he just bored himself in the room and didn't want to go anywhere. He spent most of the day running laps on the simulator, and sat on the bay window in a daze when he was tired from running.
Dong dong dong, there was a knock on the door suddenly.
Without much energy, he jumped out of the bay window to open the door. It was Shu Yue standing outside, holding a tray with several plates of snacks in his hand.
"Xiaozhou, I think you've been unhappy since you returned to City B. Did you encounter any unpleasant things in Wancheng?"
Shu Yue entered the room, put the tray on the table, and looked at him with concern.
Xu Xizhou lowered his eyes and stared at the delicately shaped snacks on the table. After a long time, he said softly, "I broke up with Zhuang Jingchun."
Shu Yue's expression froze, but there was not much surprise in her eyes.
"Mom, you go out first, don't ask me why, I just want to be alone."
Xu Xizhou didn't seem to want to talk about this topic, so he sat back on the bay window.
Shu Yue gave a light acknowledgment without disturbing him, and left the room with the empty tray.
Walking up the spiral staircase, she leaned on the railing and looked at Ren Duo downstairs who was sitting on the sofa watching TV and applying a facial mask, thoughtfully.
"Aunt Shu, why did you come down so soon? Didn't you talk to Xiao Zhou?"
Seeing the preoccupied look on Shu Yue's face, Ren Duo's delicate eyebrows showed a trace of concern.
"Xiaoduo, just now Xiaozhou told me that he broke up with Zhuang Jingchun."
"Ah, why so suddenly? Could it be that Zhuang Jingchun did something to offend our boat?!" After a brief surprise, Ren Duo looked angry.
"Actually... I am also responsible for this matter, I let Xiao Zhuang do this." A trace of self-blame flashed across Shu Yue's face, and she did not know what to think of, and her eyes were stained with determination.
"But I don't regret it. If one day Xiaozhou finds out the truth and blames me, I will understand."
"Aunt Shu, I don't understand why you did this? Didn't you like Zhuang Jingchun before?"
"That's because I didn't know Zhuang Jingchun at all before!"
Shu Yuexiu frowned slightly, and told Ren Duo everything about how she found out about the agreement.
"My God, it turns out that the two of them are together because of an agreement! This Zhuang Jingchun is really going to take advantage of the fire!"
"The matter has come to this point, and it is meaningless to worry about the past. Now that they have broken up, Xiaozhou can also have the opportunity to meet better people."
Ren Duo nodded in agreement, and suddenly found that Shu Yue was looking at her, with a trace of anticipation and anxiety in her eyes.
"Xiaoduo, you often socialize outside and have a wide network of contacts. Do you know any young and handsome boys with a good temper and personality?"
Ren Duo's eyes widened, and the mask on his face almost couldn't stretch.
"Aunt Shu, you mean... you want me to introduce someone to Xiaozhou?"
"If Xiaozhou wants to come out, he must meet new people. Why? Is my idea okay?"
With a smile on his face, Ren Duo tore off the mask on his face and patted his moist cheeks.
"Of course it's okay. I just think you're quite trendy. Let me think about it. I know a lot of young and handsome people, but if you have a good temper..."
Ren Duo's dark eyes rolled, and a figure suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Yes, Xiao Zhou will definitely like this person!"
night.
Xu Xizhou finished his physical training in the gym with a towel around his neck. He had just returned to his bedroom to take a shower when there was a knock on the door.
"Xiao Zhou, are you in there?"
Hearing Ren Duo's voice, Xu Xizhou frowned slightly.
"Sister, come in directly, the door is unlocked."
Ren Duo straightened her hair, smiled, and walked in.
"Why are you sweating so much? Were you exercising just now?" Ren Duo took the towel around his neck and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
"I'm about to take a bath, sister, what can you do for me?"
Ren Duo Mingyan had a smile on her face and a concerned tone of voice, which was very natural.
"Isn't this the day after tomorrow you're going to attend the premiere of the movie? You probably don't have many suits in your closet. I have a friend who makes custom suits. I'll take you there. How about ordering a new suit?"
"Is it too much trouble to customize? There should be too little time."
"Don't worry, I'm a super VIP customer. I place an order in the morning, and she can finish it in the evening."
Seeing his hesitation, Ren Duo didn't seem to want to go, so she launched a coquettish offensive, blinked her eyes, and stared at him with bright eyes.
"I'm stuck at home every day, so bored to death, Xiao Zhou, why don't you go out with me for a stroll."
Xu Xizhou never knew how to deal with girls, and Ren Duo was only a few years older than him. Looking at the pleading eyes of the other party, he was immediately defeated.
"Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow."
"Then it's settled, I'll call you back tomorrow."
The next morning, Ren Duo knocked on his door and woke him up.
After he washed and changed his clothes, he opened the door and found that Ren Duo was already waiting outside.
She was wearing a camel cashmere coat, a pair of black boots, big wavy hair, and a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of her beautiful nose.
"If you go outside dressed like this, you won't be recognized by fans, right?" Xu Xizhou was a little worried for her.
"Don't worry, that place is very secret."
Ren Duo flicked her long curly hair, put her hands on Xu Xizhou's shoulders, her red lips curled up slightly.
"Let's go."
The tailor-made clothing store that Ren Duo mentioned was not in the downtown area, but in a small villa in the suburbs.
It is said to be a villa, but it is actually more like a private studio.The nameplate of the studio is printed on the door, and it is surrounded by green plants, providing excellent privacy.
Xu Xizhou followed Ren Duo in and met the designer of the studio.She was a woman in her early thirties, with a gentle temperament, wearing a uniquely designed cotton and linen dress, and a jade bracelet on her hand.
"This is my fashion designer, you can call her Sister An. Sister An has designed clothes for many celebrities." Ren Duo introduced to Xu Xizhou with a smile.
"You are Xiaozhou. I heard Ren Duo say it a few times. You have similar eyebrows and eyes to your sister."
Xu Xizhou smiled slightly and shook hands with Sister An.
"Let me take you in to measure the size first, then see what style you like, and try it on first."
Xu Xizhou glanced at Ren Duo.
"Don't worry, this is your sister's old acquaintance. The clothes made are definitely suitable for you, so hurry up."
Xu Xizhou nodded and followed Sister An into the inner room.While measuring his waistline, he suddenly heard voices coming from outside, as if someone else had come.
After measuring the size, he tried on several suits, and among them he chose a dark gray one with dark stripes.Sister An was very satisfied, and smiled and asked him to wear it out for Ren Duo to see.
"Sister, what do you think of me wearing this suit?"
He opened the door curtain, and just as he finished speaking, he found a strange man standing in front of him.
This man was taller than him, young and handsome, with a unique cool aura.
Xu Xizhou froze for a moment, always felt that the man's face looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
"This suit suits you quite well, but the waist is a little bigger and needs to be narrowed down."
The man's voice was also nice, like the sound of a jade flute suddenly sounding in an empty bamboo forest, the timbre was clear and ethereal.
Ren Duo also came over and looked at Xu Xizhou with a smile.
"Let's just use this set, just change it up a bit, and I'll be attending the premiere tomorrow."
"Are you an actor too?" The man looked at him with a smile.
Xu Xizhou shook his head, and looked at Ren Duo behind him with some doubts.
"He's a race car driver. He's a beggar from Bai Yue. We insisted on dragging him into the crew to play the male supporting role. My younger brother is handsome and kind-hearted, so I agreed."
"Bai Yue has such a picky personality, and he seldom takes a fancy to anyone at a glance. It seems that your brother is a very good seedling."
Ren Duo pulled Xu Xizhou around and looked around.
"Sister, who is this person?" Xu Xizhou whispered in her ear.
"You don't even know him?" Ren Duo's eyes widened slightly, looking at Xu Xizhou helplessly, "Think about it carefully."
Xu Xizhou glanced at the young man, and that familiar feeling came again, as if he had seen this face in a movie... or on TV?
"Stupid boy, are you so busy racing cars every day that you don't even watch movies? He won Best Actor the year I won Best Actor. And I'm the youngest Best Actor in history!"
After being told by Ren Duo, Xu Xizhou immediately remembered that he had seen a martial arts movie made by a man.The appearance of him in white clothes and holding a long sword left a deep impression on his mind.
"Let me introduce, my name is Su Fan." The man walked over with a smile and held out his hand.
"I don't know what your name is?"
It turned out to be a well-known film king. Looking at his face, he probably has more fans than Ren Duo.Xu Xizhou smiled awkwardly, reached out and shook his hand.
"My name is Xu Xizhou. Sorry, I don't read enough entertainment news, so I didn't recognize you."
"It's okay, don't you know each other now?"
Su Fan smiled gently.
Ren Duo secretly covered his mouth and smiled when he saw the scene of the two shaking hands.
She sent the two of them to the courtyard on the pretext that she had something to say to Sister An.
There are rockery and flowing water in the courtyard, and goldfish are raised in the artificial lake.Xu Xizhou didn't know what to say to Su Fan, so he sat on a stool by the lake and stared at the goldfish in a daze.
"How many years younger than me, can I call you Xiaozhou?" Su Fan's voice rang in his ears.
Xu Xizhou turned his head and glanced at her. For a moment, he almost thought he saw Zhuang Jingchun.
He finally understood where that sense of familiarity came from, not only because Su Fan often appeared on the screen, but also because of his cold temperament, which was very similar to Zhuang Jingchun.
Realizing that he thought of Zhuang Jingchun again, Xu Xizhou clicked his tongue in annoyance.
"Call it whatever you want."
"You don't seem to be in a good mood. I heard from Ren Duo that you are going to attend the premiere of the movie tomorrow, are you too nervous?"
Xu Xizhou smiled, "I'm not the leading actor, so there's nothing to be nervous about, anyway, I'll just go through the motions when the time comes."
"That can't be done. Countless cameras will be on you. If you want to go through the motions, those gossip reporters will not let you go."
"After what you said, I don't even want to go to the premiere. It's better to play games at home."
Su Fan chuckled twice, "I didn't like walking on the red carpet when I first debuted, but I gradually got used to it. Sometimes I feel satisfied when I am admired by thousands of people and chased by countless cameras."
Xu Xizhou nodded in agreement.
"By the way, I opened a private gallery nearby, and your mother's works are also included in it. Are you interested in going to see it?"
Anyway, idle is idle, Xu Xizhou looked at Su Fan's earnest gaze, and hummed lightly.
In the evening, as soon as Xu Xishou returned to Ren's house, he was pulled aside by Ren Duo.
"Have you had fun this afternoon? What do you think of Su Fan?"
Xu Xizhou took off the scarf around his neck and put it on the sofa.
"He's very nice and invited me to dinner, but sister, what's the matter with you and sister An? How did you talk all afternoon?"
"Anyway, it's an important matter, you don't need to worry about it. By the way, did Su Fan ask you for WeChat?"
"Well. I added him."
Xu Xizhou liked that martial arts movie quite a bit, and he was probably a fan of Su Fan's movie. When he saw an idol asking for WeChat, Xu Xizhou naturally gave it without thinking.
"Great, well added!" Ren Duo clapped his hands, the joy of the whole person was beyond words.
"Sister, why are you so happy?"
Ren Duo was afraid that he would see that this was a chance encounter he deliberately created, so he laughed dryly twice, and stretched out his hand to smooth the messy hair on Xu Xizhou's head.
"I'm happy because you have an extra friend in City B, which is great. You should keep in touch with Su Fan more, and don't stay at home all day long."
"Well, I'll go up first."
Late at night, in a certain bar in Wancheng.
Bai Yue shook the Margaret in the glass, looked at Zhuang Jingchun beside him, and sighed resentfully.
"Tell me about you, the ducks you get can fly away. I thought you would have been together long ago after half a year. I didn't expect... You are such an elm head! If your mother doesn't agree, just listen to her obediently." , and don't resist?"
Zhuang Jingchun took a sip of whiskey and frowned slightly.
"What my aunt said is very reasonable. I really should give Xiaozhou a chance to choose freely."
"Why can't you turn the corner with your brain? Anyway, you have to tell Xu Xizhou the truth! Are you not afraid that Xu Xizhou will meet some young and handsome young meat in City B, and then move on?"
Zhuang Jingchun clenched the cup tightly in her hand, her face was a little gloomy.Lu Rong is already difficult enough to deal with, if another man appears beside Xiao Zhou...
Bai Yue sighed, took out an invitation letter from his pocket and gave it to him.
"Tomorrow night, the movie that Xu Xizhou participated in will have its premiere at B. This is the invitation letter. Whether you take this opportunity or not is up to you."
"I still have a party, so I won't drink with you here, byebye."
Zhuang Jingchun stared at the invitation letter on the bar with deep eyes.
The author has something to say:
The green tea-flavored Xiaozhuang began a long journey to chase his wife...
