Lu Mingxu said enthusiastically, "Sure, whatever you want to talk about, I'll talk to you about it."

Chi Xiuwen didn't speak; he could roughly guess what Pei Zhi would say.

What are your plans for the future?

Lu Mingxu didn't quite understand. "What do you mean, 'what will happen in the future'?"

Pei Zhi asked with a half-smile, "Have you thought about the future after leaving the entertainment industry?"

"I've made so much money that I could never spend it all in my lifetime, so I have no regrets about leaving the entertainment industry."

Chi Xiuwen wondered, what did Pei Zhi see in Lu Mingxu? Was she just naively simple-minded?

Even Pei Zhi can't understand what she's saying. Doesn't Pei Zhi find it tiring to communicate with her normally?

"My decision to leave the entertainment industry is not impulsive; I plan to continue my studies."

Chi Xiuwen is not a person without a plan.

In his previous plan, he would probably move behind the scenes around the age of thirty-five to continue improving his education.

However, the plan has now been brought forward.

Pei Zhi's expression softened. "That's good. Reading more books is never a bad thing."

Upon hearing Pei Zhi praise Chi Xiuwen, Lu Mingxu immediately chimed in, "Then I also plan to go to school."

Chi Xiuwen countered, "Are you planning to take the postgraduate entrance exam? Which major? But I remember you don't even have an undergraduate degree, so it seems like you can't take the postgraduate entrance exam."

Lu Mingxu's academic background is a weakness; he didn't do well in school.

"Ha, you know me so well, you've investigated me behind my back?"

The two started arguing over a single word.

"It's just that I saw your haters criticizing you for having a low level of education."

"So what if I have a lower level of education? I'm still ranked ahead of you, you..."

"Alright." Pei Zhi sat between the two people; their noise was hurting her ears.

"Since you two talk so much, why don't you two chat? I'll leave first."

Immediately, both Chi Xiuwen and Lu Mingxu shut their mouths.

“Lu Mingxu, I don’t mean to interrogate you, I just want you to make plans for your future.”

Her appearance has changed Lu Mingxu's life trajectory.

Pei Zhi did not want Lu Mingxu to continue doing nothing.

Lu Mingxu said solicitously, "I've already made arrangements. Wherever you go, I'll go too, right?"

"I'll stay by your side, be your bag carrier, go shopping with you, and play with you."

Chi Xiuwen pursed his thin lips, somewhat envious of Lu Mingxu, who could express his feelings so directly.

"Let's never be apart, okay?"

Chi Xiuwen did not interrupt Lu Mingxu; he also wanted to know Pei Zhi's answer.

Pei Zhi decisively refused Lu Mingxu, saying, "No."

How could she stay with them forever? She has a mission for the next world.

"I will leave here in six months at most."

Lu Mingxu asked in confusion, "Leave here? Where are you going?"

Lu Mingxu quickly added, "It doesn't matter. I'm unemployed now, so I'll go with you."

Chi Xiuwen said calmly, "Then will you come back?"

Pei Zhi feigned nonchalance: "He probably won't be coming back."

Chi Xiuwen said self-deprecatingly, "So, what am I? What is Lu Mingxu?"

"So you're just a product of your boredom? You played around, got bored, and now you're just going to pack up and leave?"

"I'm sorry" is too weak a word, and Pei Zhi doesn't want to say it anymore.

"If I had known from the beginning that I would have such a huge impact on you, I definitely wouldn't have..."

"Enough." Chi Xiuwen didn't want to listen anymore. "You absolutely won't provoke me, right?"

Chi Xiuwen wasn't stupid; couldn't he understand Pei Zhi's obvious meaning?

“Pei Zhi, you don’t need to beat around the bush. Just tell me directly that our relationship is a burden to you, wouldn’t that be enough?”

Lu Mingxu blinked, his thoughts a little out of sync.

"What's the meaning?"

"What do you mean? It means that she's only interested in us for the moment, just playing around. Now that we're clinging to her, she's annoyed. Do you understand?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Lu Mingxu absolutely did not believe that Pei Zhi was that kind of person.

How could the person he likes find him annoying?

They had so many wonderful memories together.

Pei Zhi would celebrate his birthday with him, go to see the stars together, and spend the night embracing each other by the river. How could Pei Zhi not have feelings for him?

“Even after we left the entertainment industry, she felt a lot of pressure. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have asked what we planned to do in the future.”

"You're not really stupid enough to think she cares about us, are you?"

Lu Mingxu stood up in disbelief. "Pei Zhi, what he said is all wrong. You don't think that way, do you?"

Chi Xiuwen lowered his eyes and sneered. He never expected that he would be the one who understood Pei Zhi the most.

Chi Xiuwen had vaguely noticed these things before, but he just didn't dare to say anything.

Once it's said, there's no going back.

Pei Zhi's long, curled eyelashes trembled slightly; she had nothing to refute about Chi Xiuwen's words.

Lu Mingxu shouted angrily, "Pei Zhi, say something!"

Pei Zhi laughed freely: "What do you want to hear? Do you want me to repeat what Chi Xiuwen said?"

"Then you..." Lu Mingxu wanted to ask, "Did you ever love me?"

Lu Mingxu suddenly dared not ask any more questions.

Perhaps it's because he already knows the answer.

If Pei Zhi answered his question, he would no longer be able to deceive himself.

"Where are you going? Can't you take me with you? I won't cause you any trouble, I'll be very good."

Lu Mingxu stared at Pei Zhi with pleading eyes, like a puppy about to be abandoned.
