0090 couldn't stand it any longer: [Your Highness, don't you feel ashamed?]
Li Yuheng snorted inwardly and retorted confidently, "What's so shameful about it? Who told him to seduce me!"
0090: [...When did Shu Bai seduce you?]
Li Yuheng argued vehemently: "He looks like that, with exposed collarbones and a mole, what else could it be but seduction?"
0090's mechanical voice faltered for the rare moment: [...]
Li Yuheng felt more and more justified the matter and continued to accuse him in his mind: "And he even deliberately pulled on my collar just now! Playing hard to get!"
0090: […Your Highness, do you have some misunderstanding about 'seduction'?]
Li Yuheng ignored him and continued to stare at Shu Bai's profile.
Shu Bai felt extremely uncomfortable under his gaze, and finally couldn't stand it anymore, turning her head away: "Are your eyes twitching?"
Li Yuheng pushed up his sunglasses and said seriously, "I'm contemplating life."
"What have you figured out?"
"Think about it..." Li Yuheng suddenly leaned closer and lowered his voice, "Think about whether Teacher Shu Bai did it on purpose."
Shu Bai: "..."
He expressionlessly took out his phone and returned the 8,888 yuan transfer.
Li Yuheng immediately protested: "Hey! Why is there a refund option?"
Shu Bai sneered: "Because the service has been terminated."
Just as Li Yuheng was about to retort, the car suddenly braked hard, and he lurched forward, his lips barely brushing against his pale earlobe.
The two froze simultaneously.
Li Yuheng's breath caught in his throat. The faint scent of shower gel lingered around Shu Bai's body, mixed with a faint hint of tobacco.
Her pale ear tips turned red at a visible speed, and she abruptly pushed him away: "Sit properly!"
Li Yuheng was pushed back to his seat, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.
"……oh."
Zhao Wen, who was in the front row, turned around with a suspicious look: "What are you two doing in the back?"
Li Yuheng feigned composure: "Let's discuss how long it will take to get to the airport."
Jiang Wei rolled his eyes, muttering as he dialed his agent's number, "You two were whispering to each other in the background, as if no one knew."
As soon as the call connected, she immediately switched to professional mode: "Hello, Sister Li, yes, the show ended early... um, let's go straight to the company, I have a few endorsement deals to discuss..."
Yu Keke sat by the window, her fingers flying across her phone screen, a smile playing on her lips.
On Weibo's trending topic #LiYuheng'sEyesAreLikeLonging#, some people have already captured a GIF of Li Yuheng staring at Shu Bai during the live stream.
【Ahhh, I'm dying of joy!】
[That look in his eyes, who would believe there's nothing going on!]
[The horizontal and vertical pairing is real!]
She quietly turned around and stole a glance at the two people in the back row.
Shu Bai was looking out the window with a cold expression, while Li Yuheng, though wearing sunglasses, had a clear smile on his lips.
Zhao Wen suddenly leaned over: "What are you looking at so happily?"
Yu Keke quickly locked her screen and blinked, "N-nothing, just a fan comment..."
Zhao Wen looked at her suspiciously, then suddenly lowered her voice: "You don't actually ship couples, do you?"
Yu Keke blushed and whispered, "Sister Wen, don't you think they're a good match..."
Zhao Wen slapped her thigh: "I knew it! Sister!"
Their whispered conversation was interrupted by a sharp look from Jiang Wei: "You two, shut up."
She hung up the phone, glanced at the two people in the back seat in the rearview mirror, and smiled slightly: "Some people don't even understand things themselves, but you two are already shipping them."
Shu Bai stared coldly out the window, but the blush on her ears lingered.
Li Yuheng shifted restlessly in his seat, then suddenly pulled out his phone and started typing rapidly.
Shu Bai's phone vibrated.
[A dog carrying a rose.jpg]
Shu Bai: "..."
He silently put his phone on silent mode without any expression on his face.
Undeterred, Li Yuheng posted another message: "[That was purely an accident]"
Shu Bai finally replied: [I understand]
Li Yuheng stared at those two words for a long time, then suddenly posted again: 【But I wouldn't mind doing it again】
Shu Bai simply stuffed his phone into his pocket.
Li Yuheng pursed his lips, turned his head to look at the other side, but the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.
As the car entered the airport expressway, Shu Bai suddenly spoke up: "You guys go first, I have something to do, I've changed my ticket."
Li Yuheng immediately turned his head: "Until what time? I'll revise it too."
Shu Bai: "..."
Jiang Wei scoffed, "A tagalong."
Li Yuheng remained unfazed: "I'm protecting Teacher Shu Bai from being harassed by obsessive fans."
Shu Bai: "I think the biggest stalker is right next to me."
Li Yuheng: "..."
The car slowly came to a stop in front of the airport terminal.
Shu Bai was the first to get off the bus with her luggage, and walked into the terminal without looking back.
Just as Li Yuheng was about to chase after him, Jiang Wei grabbed him by the back of his collar: "Stop it for a bit, he obviously has something to take care of."
Li Yuheng narrowed his eyes: "How did you know?"
By what right?!
Jiang Wei rolled his eyes: "His agent just contacted my agent, saying that Shu Bai insists on terminating his contract with the company. It's a pity, but there's nothing we can do about it."
She lowered her voice, "With President Ying in jail, the company is in complete chaos. Now is the best time."
Li Yuheng nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly took out his phone and made a call: "Hey, help me check the contract details between Shu Bai and Xing Yao... Yes, check it now."
After hanging up the phone, he quickly caught up with the other guests, but his eyes kept following the direction in which Shu Bai disappeared.
…
Standing in front of the Starry Entertainment Company building, Shu Bai looked up at this place he had once longed for, then walked inside expressionlessly.
The receptionist, upon seeing him, stood up in surprise: "Mr. Shu Bai? What brings you here..."
Shu Bai nodded casually and walked straight to the elevator.
The moment the elevator doors closed, he heard the receptionist frantically making a phone call: "Mr. Wang! Shu Bai is here!"
In the president's office, Vice President Wang was frantically dealing with a call from the board of directors when he saw Shu Bai push the door open and enter. His face turned deathly pale instantly.
"Shu...Shu Bai..." He wiped the sweat from his forehead, "The company's situation is special right now, if there's anything you need..."
Shu Bai placed a document on the table: "Termination Agreement".
…
Half an hour later, Shu Bai walked out of the Xingyao Building with a contract termination notice stamped with the company seal in his hand.
He stood on the steps, took a deep breath, and felt the warm sunlight on his face.
He looked down at the termination agreement in his hand, his fingertips gently tracing the edge of the paper, and suddenly remembered how he first stepped into this company ten years ago.
At that time, he was holding a stack of drama club performance videos in his hand, his eyes shining brightly.
At that time, he thought acting was a pure passion.
What happened next?
Later he became famous, then he was infamous; he was elevated to a pedestal, then trampled into the mud.
He has acted in bad movies and won Best Actor awards; he has been manipulated by capital and abandoned by the audience.
Now, he stands here, holding a termination agreement in his hand, yet he feels surprisingly calm.
There are gains and losses.
He lost his pure love for acting, but he also learned how to stay clear-headed in the world of fame and fortune.
He had lost his freedom, but now he has regained it.
Shu Bai folded the termination agreement, put it in her bag, and looked up at the sky.
fine.
He stepped down the stairs and didn't look back.
…
In the airport VIP lounge, Li Yuheng was sitting with his legs crossed, scrolling through his phone.
