Chapter 1: You'd better be fine

"Xiao Xu, come and hug me."

Lying on the white bed, Song Lehan stared at the boy not far away with innocent eyes. Under her black short skirt, her long, white legs slowly crossed, her posture seductive and alluring.

The boy walked straight over without saying a word, just staring at something.

His Adam's apple rolled, and Xu Jiangcuo stretched out his trembling hand and wandered over the girl's body.

The hot palm was like a furnace, leaving little flames wherever it went, causing Song Lehan to tremble and lean back.

The shoulder straps slipped off and the two of them became entangled.

The atmosphere became hot and humid.

Song Lehan curled her red lips proudly. No matter how difficult the cold and aloof male god was to deal with, didn't she still manage to sleep with him?

But in just a second, someone grabbed her neck tightly.

Song Lehan opened his eyes wide and saw Xu Jiangcuo with a ferocious face.

His eyes were filled with hatred, veins popping out, and he roared at her:

"Why! Why did you break up with me?!"

"We agreed to stay together forever, why are you looking for another man?!"

"Song Lehan, I hate you!"

Song Lehan struggled hard, her red lips slightly opened, wanting to explain, but the feeling of suffocation became more and more intense.

"Bang"--

With a sudden brake, Song Lehan fell forward due to inertia, and his consciousness broke away from the dream and fell back into reality.

"We've arrived at the filming base. Everyone, remember to take your belongings with you when you get off the bus."

Before he fully opened his eyes, Song Lehan heard the director's instructions.

She rubbed her eyes and saw that the people around her had stood up and were preparing to get off the bus. She quickly picked up her bag and followed the team.

Looking out the window, the desolation is visible to the naked eye.

There was nothing else in the vast open space except the training base.

No way, is this production crew serious about this?

Song Lehan speculated secretly, and his brows frowned even more.

She was not very willing to participate in this variety show in the first place, but she was recently attacked and became a hot topic, so she had no choice but to listen to her boss's arrangement and participate in this crappy variety show for training stars.

The excuse is to let her change her personality on the show and clear herself of the wrongdoing.

Who knows whether it is true or not?

After getting off the car, Song Lehan followed the instructions to claim her luggage, which was checked by a special person and she had to hand over her cosmetics, snacks, and related entertainment products.

Upon hearing that they had to hand in something, several artists who were used to being praised became unhappy. They stood there with sullen faces, showing no intention of handing in anything.

At this stalemate, Song Lehan saw the director coming over. He didn't know what he said, but in the end, the artists just briefly checked and didn't hand in anything.

"Is it still possible?"

"They have a strong backer, so we small fry should just be honest and hand it over."

Hearing the chatter beside him, Song Lehan nodded in agreement, then opened his suitcase and picked out the things to hand in.

Suddenly, a shadow fell over her head, blocking the glare of light.

Song Lehan took a glance and saw a pair of camouflage rubber shoes.

It should be the instructor who came to collect the things she handed in.

She didn't look up, but her hands moved faster unconsciously.

"Is that the doll I gave you before?"

The sudden question caught Song Lehan off guard. Subconsciously, she raised her head and let out a confused "Ah".

Without warning, she saw Xu Jiangcuo's face.

The charming scenes in her dream flashed through her mind, the ambiguous posture, the warm breath...

The person who had just been entangled with her in her dream was now standing right in front of her.

Song Lehan felt a little guilty, looked away, and blushed in embarrassment.

This was very different from the reunion I had imagined.

Or rather, Song Lehan never thought that they would meet again.

After all, she didn't dare to face Xu Jiangcuo, nor did she want to face him.

Xu Jiangcuo in front of him did not continue speaking, but stared at the person in front of him, his eyes carefully tracing her face, and finally slowly falling on her bright eyes.

Netizens said that Song Lehan’s eyes are particularly attractive, no wonder she changes boyfriends so frequently.

Indeed, he had once been deceived by these simple and innocent eyes.

Nothing is left after being cheated.

Xu Jiangcuo coughed lightly to break the silence, showing no change in emotion. "I didn't expect that we would meet again in this way."

The tone was distant, without the sticky feeling from the beginning.

Song Lehan curled his lips unnaturally, "Yes...yes, I didn't expect that."

If she had known he was here, she would never have come.

It is said that the best ex is like dead and should never appear again after the breakup.

Song Lehan dated Xu Jiangcuo for a while when they were in college, and they later broke up. Song Lehan has indeed never met Xu Jiangcuo.

Maybe it was because they were about to graduate and couldn't meet each other, or maybe Xu Jiangcuo was deliberately avoiding her, but in any case, they didn't see each other again for the next six years.

Today is the first time we meet after breaking up.

Unexpected and shocking... no joy.

Logically speaking, it should be Song Lehan who should avoid Xu Jiangcuo.

It was she who chose to cheat and forced Xu Jiangcuo to agree to break up. Otherwise, according to Xu Jiangcuo's idea, they should have been together forever.

"So, you still keep the doll I gave you?" Changing the subject, Xu Jiangcuo followed up on the previous question.

Song Lehan looked at the ginger-colored bear in her hand. The bear's cute smiling face seemed to be mocking her at this moment.

"Ah, this~" She shook the little bear in her hand towards Xu Jiangcuo and explained casually: "It seems to be a gift from a friend before."

After a pause, she deliberately frowned again and asked in a thoughtful tone, "Did you give me a doll? I don't remember."

Xu Jiangcuo stared at the corner of the bear's ear, where there was a piece of white thread that looked out of place. It was sewn there by him.

She never opened it.

He didn't intend to refute, he was just curious. It was obviously her who wanted to break up, so why did she keep the things he gave her?

Xu Jiangcuo was not so narcissistic as to think that Song Lehan still had feelings for him. Perhaps it was really as she said, and she had forgotten who had given it to her.

Anyway, he was not that important to her.

Retracting his gaze, Xu Jiangcuo knocked on the box beside him and reminded: "Put everything you need to hand in here. If it can't fit in, go get another one."

"Oh, okay."

Song Lehan agreed, then stood up with the things he had packed and prepared to put them in the box.

Maybe it was because she woke up too quickly or because she hadn't eaten breakfast, but as soon as she stood up, she saw darkness. Similar things had happened before, but it would clear up after a while.

Song Lehan didn't take it seriously. He just paused. When he felt that he could almost see the surroundings clearly, he moved his feet and took a step forward.

Unexpectedly, she felt dizzy, her legs went limp, and she fell to the ground powerlessly.

The things in his hands fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

The strange sound made Xu Jiangcuo stop and walk away. He turned around in confusion, wanting to see what Song Lehan was doing, but saw her lying on the ground.

It was almost an instinctive reaction. Xu Jiangcuo dropped what he was holding, rushed to Song Lehan, and regardless of the looks of others, picked her up and walked towards the prevention and control station at the base.

Seeing this, the people around them took the initiative to make way. Although they didn't know what was going on, some people still stared at them curiously.

Suddenly, someone exclaimed: "Isn't this Qi Yu's girlfriend!"

When the voice reached Xu Jiangcuo's ears, his eyes moved slightly, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his anxious eyes.

"Song Lehan, you better be alright!"

The words squeezed out from the tip of the teeth made the eyelashes of the person with closed eyes in his arms tremble.
