Song Yuan

Chapter 22

The next day, He Qing brought breakfast over. After opening the door with a password, she immediately saw Xu Zhizhou sleeping on the sofa.

A thought suddenly appeared in her mind — could it be that the two of them didn't do anything?

Then Luo Ge probably worried for nothing last night.

Xu Zhizhou opened his eyes when he heard the sound. He almost didn't sleep last night.

First, he stayed in the room until the wee hours of the morning. Then, he lay on the sofa and thought about the past from time to time.

But now?

What had he become? In order to become famous, in order to earn money, he would do anything …

Perhaps he was a hypocritical and shameless villain in his bones!

Otherwise, how could he adapt to this environment where he worshipped the strong and stepped on the weak so quickly?

Now, he always had a smile on his face that made him feel disgusted … How could he be worthy of the treasure he had always treasured in his heart?

…

He Qing walked over and shouted, "Xu Ge." Then, she asked hesitantly, "… Last night?"

Xu Zhizhou stood on the floor and bent over to tidy up the pillows and bedding on the sofa. When he heard what He Qing said, he tilted his head and glanced at her.

He Qing was scared for a second. "I'll go set up the breakfast." Then, she turned around and ran away.

In fact, Xu Zhizhou was a very easy-going artist. He never put on airs with the people around him, and he was not like some artists who ordered their assistants around as if they were nannies.

When He Qing came to her side, he was already a little famous. However, he was not like those newbies who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth and made ridiculous requests.

Obviously, he was about the same age as her, but he was especially steady and calm. No matter who he was facing, he always had a gentle smile on his face and seemed very easy to get along with.

However, Xu Qing could vaguely feel that he had actually erected a thick barrier around everyone. Under the cover of the gentle smile on his face, coldness had already seeped into every inch of his bones …

He Qing seemed to be drifting alone in this world, without a trace of humanity. Apart from a few emotional fluctuations in him when he was with Mother Xu, the rest of the time, he lived like a mannequin. He had no interests, no hobbies, no pastimes … If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't be able to bear it for even a day. But he had been by Xu Zhizhou's side for several years, and he had always lived like this.

He Qing felt that Xu Zhizhou did not care about other people at all. That was why he treated everyone the same way, including people like her, who had worked for him for many years.

The reason why she had such thoughts was that there was once when she drank a bottle of strawberry milk from Xu Zhizhou's fridge without his permission.

That was the first time Xu Zhizhou's expression changed in front of her. He was very angry and shouted at her, "Who told you to touch it?"

Even though he had apologized to He Qing immediately after that, from then on, He Qing had an indescribable fear of him.

Yesterday, when He Qing met that girl, it was the second time she had seen Xu Zhizhou's face other than a smile. Therefore, she was sure that this girl must be a very important person to Xu Zhizhou.

Xu Zhizhou was sitting on the sofa in his pajamas, looking at today's schedule. Fortunately, he had rushed to finish the interviews two days ago.

Today's schedule was mainly for a magazine cover shoot, which was considered a more important schedule.

There was movement in the room, and a little lunatic with a head full of messy hair rushed out of the room. She plopped down on the empty seat next to him and shouted, "Brother, why did you still break it?" She put a band-aid on her leg and put it on Xu Zhizhou's thigh.

Xu Zhizhou lowered his head and looked at the foot on his thigh. Even the toes were restlessly wiggling. He said indifferently, "It'll heal faster this way. Besides, you didn't feel any pain yesterday, right?"

Song Xuan pursed his lips and retracted his leg. He held it in his arms and looked at it carefully.

He Qing placed all kinds of breakfast on the dining table. She tried her best to suppress her curiosity about Song Xuan's clothes and said indifferently, "Xu Ge, and this … Miss, breakfast is ready."

Song Xuan looked up and gave her a friendly smile. "You can call me Song Xuan." He Qing nodded.

Xu Zhizhou didn't look at Song Xuan. He got up and walked towards the dining room. After a few steps, he stopped and said without rhyme or reason, "There are spare toiletries in the bathroom cabinet." Then he went straight to the dining room.

Song Xuan: "Oh ~"

He Qing was about to die of gossip, but he didn't dare to ask. He could only imagine silently in his heart.

During breakfast, Xu Zhizhou's gaze was fixed on Song Xuan. Just like when he was a child, the food didn't taste good. He looked at this and touched that. He didn't finish the half piece of bread in his hand for a long time. No wonder he was getting thinner.

She drank a few mouthfuls of soy milk and frowned. She looked unhappy.

Xu Zhizhou got up and went to the kitchen. After a while, he came out with a box of strawberry milk and put it on her left hand. The girl was really happy. She smiled sweetly. "Thank you, Brother ~ ~"

He Qing finally knew who the milk and snacks were for.

In the past few years, every time Xu Zhizhou went to the supermarket, he would buy a lot of strawberry-flavored snacks. He never ate them himself, so he would store them until they expired and then throw them away.

Next time, he would buy a lot of them and stock them up. Luo Tao and He Qing once thought that he had some unspeakable eccentricity.

Song Xuan inserted a straw and drank two mouthfuls happily. Then he asked him, "Brother, where are you going later?"

"I have to shoot a set of films today. I'll go to the studio later."

"Oh ~ … When can you come back?"

Xu Zhizhou glanced at her. "Maybe in the evening." He couldn't help but ask, "Are you leaving later?"

"Yes, I just called someone to send me some clothes. I have to go out later."

Xu Zhizhou suddenly felt a ball of anger rising in his heart. Yesterday, you insisted on coming with me. In the end, after one night, you said you were going to leave today?

His tone was stiff. "Oh!"

Song Xuan didn't realize that her Zhizhou brother was angry. She was minding her own business and sipping the milk in her hand.

He Qing watched from the side with fear and trepidation. She saw that Xu Zhizhou's face had obviously darkened and her heart was trembling. In the end, he just stood up and went into the room without saying a word.

After he came out, he changed into casual clothes and covered his head with a hat. He looked like he was going out.

Glancing at the heartless little rascal, he called He Qing and was about to leave.

When he reached the door and put his hand on the doorknob, the little rascal finally hurriedly shouted, "Brother, wait a minute …" Xu Zhizhou didn't turn around. He pretended to be cold and asked, "What is it?"

She ran over and smiled flatteringly. "My assistant is blocked outside the neighborhood. Can you tell the security guard to let her in?"

He Qing lowered her head and saw that Xu Zhizhou's right hand was clenched tightly. The sunglasses in his hand made a "click" sound. He immediately lowered his head even more.

She heard Xu Zhizhou's voice above her head. He gritted his teeth and said, "Got it. Is there anything else?"

Song Xuan shook her head and obediently took a step back. She waved at him cutely. "Goodbye, Brother."

Xu Zhizhou rushed out of the door.

In the elevator, He Qing stood in the corner. She looked down and didn't say a word.

Xu Zhizhou was silent for a moment before he said, "Go down and call the security guard later."

"Okay, I got it."

…

Ariel waited downstairs for a long time before she finally received a notice from the security guard to let her in.

While Song Xuan waited in the room, she called Assistant Zhou again. "Assistant Zhou, do you have time now?"

"Oh, it's nothing big. I just want to ask you for a favor.

You know where I am right now, right? "

"Yes, I want to buy an apartment here. Help me find it as soon as possible. It's in this building. The closer it is, the better. It would be perfect if it's next door."

Ariel delivered a set of clothes and cosmetics. After tidying everything up neatly, the two of them left.

"Miss Ai Mi, where are you going now?"

"I'm going back to pack my things. I want to move here."

Ariel: "…???" She just didn't follow her for one night. Did something happen?

…

During lunch break, Xu Zhizhou stayed in the lounge to eat alone.

He held his phone in his hand and casually swiped through it. Didn't he tell her his phone number? Why wasn't there a single message? He opened WeChat, but there were no new friend requests.

Outside the door, Luo Tao pulled He Qing sneakily and interrogated her. "Are you sure nothing happened between them last night?"

He Qing had been asked countless times in the morning. She replied weakly, "There really wasn't anything. When I went there, I saw Xu Ge sleeping on the sofa with my own eyes … Luo Ge, you've asked me many times."

Luo Tao was surprised. "That's impossible!

I've never seen Zhizhou so close to someone. "He Qing suddenly thought of something and whispered a few words in his ear.

Luo Tao was so shocked that he couldn't control his voice. "Really?

He really took out the milk and gave it to that woman? "

He Qing pressed him down. "Brother, keep your voice down …" Then she turned to look around and nodded. "It's true. That's why I think there must be something going on between her and Xu Ge!!!"

Luo Tao tried to calm himself down and told her, "Take good care of Zhizhou in the afternoon. I'll go to the hospital to see Auntie and ask her if she knows what's going on."

"Okay, I got it."

In the afternoon, Luo Tao bought some fruits and flowers and drove to the hospital.

Mother Xu had just woken up and was pushed to the balcony by the nurse to get some fresh air.

After listening to Luo Tao's story, she smiled and said, "That must be Song Xuan. Other than her, Zhizhou wouldn't be close to any other girl."

Luo Tao asked carefully, "Will she have a bad influence on Zhizhou?

After all, Zhizhou … It's not easy for them to get to where they are now. "

Mother Xu seemed to be thinking about a few years ago and the smile on her face disappeared. "Actually, if it wasn't for me, Zhizhou wouldn't have to work so hard …"

Luo Tao finally realized what a stupid thing he had said. He slapped himself in his heart and quickly said, "Auntie, you can't think like that. Zhizhou only has you now. Isn't his wish for you to be healthy and safe?"

Mother Xu came back to her senses and smiled. Her youthful glory could be seen on her pale and thin face. "I know, Luo Tao. Don't worry. I can't do anything for my son now, but I can't be a burden to him!"
