Judging from Gu Qingyan's WeChat, it doesn't seem like he uses emojis; all his emojis come from Xu Zhaozhao.

Why save that dog egg emoji when there are so many other cute ones?

Xu Zhaozhao once again mentally criticized Gu Qingyan's aesthetic sense.

Just as I was about to play dead and send a sleeping emoji, a voice call came in from the other end.

[“Little Pig” invites you to a voice call.]

Xu Zhaozhao answered the call, nervously putting it to her ear, and coughed.

He coughed lightly to show that he was still breathing.

“Zhaozhao”.

A somewhat hoarse voice came through the receiver, calling her name.

At that sound, Xu Zhaozhao almost dropped the phone she was holding to her ear.

Damn, this man is too manipulative!

Xu Zhaozhao lowered her voice, asking with a hint of accusation, "Did you stay up all night?"

This timbre is definitely not normal.

"Um."

He agreed, "I'm used to it."

There was a moment of silence on the other end.

"I'll hang up now. You should get some sleep. You have filming tomorrow..."

Xu Zhaozhao chuckled softly, "You'll get kidney deficiency if you keep doing this, Teacher Gu."

"Wait a minute."

Gu Qingyan didn't follow up on her words, but only said these two words.

She didn't hang up immediately, but waited patiently.

Both of them fell silent. Xu Zhaozhao could clearly hear the sound of the waves on the other end, as well as the sea breeze gently blowing through the receiver.

Xu Zhaozhao listened quietly for a while before the voice came from the other end again, "Have you seen the pictures I sent you?"

The sunrise picture at the beach that Gu Qingyan had just sent her flashed into her mind.

The sun and the sea seemed to appear right in front of her.

Composing himself, he replied, "I saw it, it's beautiful."

"I wish you were here with me."

Just as Gu Qingyan finished speaking, a WeChat notification sound came, making him pause in surprise.

Looking at the words "[The other party has hung up]", I shook my head.

Shh: The internet's down, but that's not my problem.

After a brief explanation, Xu Zhaozhao's next message came immediately.

Shh: Goodnight! I'm going to sleep! I don't want to have kidney deficiency!

Gu Qingyan stood on the balcony railing, imagining that Xu Zhaozhao must be blushing and looking shy right now.

Piglet: Goodnight, little cat.

There was one more thing he hadn't said to Xu Zhaozhao.

I miss you so much.

After typing the sentence into the input box, Gu Qingyan paused for a moment, then deleted it.

He turned around, went out, got into Gou Ge's car, and then boarded a plane back to China.

...

When Xu Zhaozhao saw Gu Qingyan's message, she was already getting ready to take a shower and go to bed.

Then a bolt of lightning struck her awake.

The weather in Beijing is so unpredictable; you can see the stars just a moment ago, and now it's thundering and raining.

Why do thunderstorms always seem to come when Gu Qingyan isn't around?

QQ QQ QQ.

Xu Zhaozhao had just lifted the covers, preparing to ask her son for help, when there was a knock on the door.

The door opened, and there was the butler.

He bowed respectfully, "Madam, your friend... has come to see you again..."

Seeing the butler's expression, Xu Zhaozhao knew which "friend" it was.

It's another thunderstorm, another day of bad luck.

The only difference is that it hasn't rained yet.

Xu Zhaozhao lowered her eyelids and thought for a moment before asking, "Where is it?"

"The back door," the butler replied.

When Xu Zhaozhao arrived at the back door of the villa, she could hardly recognize Fu Chengze in front of her.

His usually meticulously combed slicked-back hair is now covered in mud, strand by strand.

His white shirt had turned into a black shirt, his suit trousers had several scratches, and his leather shoes had two holes, revealing his big toes.

Two triangular eyes kept glancing around, as if on guard.

Xu Zhaozhao didn't feel sorry for him; she just wanted to laugh.

As soon as he saw Xu Zhaozhao, he rushed towards her like a vicious dog pouncing on its prey.

In the end, the bodyguards took all the blame and pushed him back, causing him to fall to the ground.

"Zhaozhao, I know I was wrong, I'm already like this."

He looked at Xu Zhaozhao, his eyes reddening slightly, "I know how much of a scoundrel I was before."

"I promise I will only love you from now on. I will never look at any other women again."

He became agitated as he spoke, and tried to rush towards Xu Zhaozhao, but was stopped by the bodyguards.

He had no choice but to stop, staring intently at Xu Zhaozhao.

Xu Zhaozhao looked at his disheveled appearance with amusement. "President Fu, do you know that you are a wanted criminal now?"

It was as if he had stepped on Fu Chengze's tail, and his emotions became agitated again.

"Zhaozhao, ask Dad to help me."

As he spoke, he held up three dark fingers, "I will marry you! Really! I swear!"

Boom—!

A huge bolt of lightning struck, seemingly mocking the scumbag's fake affection.

Xu Zhaozhao's patience ran out. "Delete our previous chat history, and I won't report you."

"Silly boy, that's proof of our love. As long as you..."

"Go eat shit!" Xu Zhaozhao rolled her eyes and interrupted him.

At the very last moment, Fu Chengze was still foolishly thinking that Xu Zhaozhao loved him deeply and that he could just say some nice words and be humble.

This is his only bargaining chip that doesn't count as a bargaining chip, so why would he easily delete it?

He's an idiot. Xu Zhaozhao had nothing to talk to him about, so she coldly said, "Fu Chengze, I'm married."

After saying that, he turned around without hesitation and walked into the villa, his back view resolute.

"Zhao Zhao—!" Fu Chengze called out to her from behind.

He struggled to grab Xu Zhaozhao, but the bodyguard kicked him away again and again, only for him to crawl back like a dog.

He could never touch even a hem of Xu Zhaozhao's clothes.

"Zhaozhao, I love you! I love you—"

Boom—!

With the sound of thunder, the heavy rain instantly submerged the city.

Xu Zhaozhao finally had some peace and quiet; apart from the sound of rain, she couldn't hear any dogs barking.

He gave a sarcastic smirk.

See, men can say "I love you" so simply and casually.

Hypocritical and disgusting.

He pulled his phone out of the bed and dialed the police.

"Hello? Is this the Beijing police? I have news about Fu Chengze."

A sound came from over there.

"perhaps……"

Xu Zhaozhao stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked out at the rain. "You can check the stray dog ​​shelters in the Imperial Capital Park."

"Okay, thank you very much."

The call ended.

Fu Huiqi, 30,000 yuan is your last remaining value.

...

Fu Chengze returned to the Imperial Capital Park covered in blood.

It was raining, and the light was poor at night, making it the only time he could come out of his doghouse to move around.

He sat on the steps by the street, completely numb.

The high beams shining from afar made him raise his hand to shield his eyes. Looking in that direction, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a familiar license plate number...

Sizzle—

The screeching sound of brakes rang out, and Gou Ge cursed under his breath.

He opened the car window a little to check the situation, and the dog's bark drifted into the car on the wind.

"Can you divorce Zhaozhao and let her marry me?"

Gu Qingyan opened his eyes in the darkness.
