Song Leilei didn't understand what she meant at all. She saw that it was a video call from Xu Jingzhi, so she quickly looked down and smoothed her hair and bangs before answering the call.
Xu Jingzhi: "Leilei, are you done filming? It's still early, I'll take you shopping."
Xu Jingzhi's background is in a room, but Song Leilei can tell at a glance that it is not in Xu's house, as the furnishings look like those in a hotel room.
"Aren't you supposed to be at work? Why are you going shopping with me?"
"Oh, I was injured before, and I went to the police station before my vacation was over. My boss was very angry when he found out. He was worried that my wound hadn't healed properly, so he told me not to go to the police station for a month. If he saw me again, he would have to resign." Xu Jingzhi shrugged helplessly. "So, I don't have anything else to do lately."
Song Leilei was afraid of being alone with Xu Jingzhi, so she immediately declined politely: "I've made plans to go shopping with the actors from my film crew, so I don't need you to come with me. Just listen to your boss and don't run around."
Which actor?
"You don't even know him, why ask so many questions?"
"Hang up."
To avoid being subjected to public displays of affection, Song Leilei chose to return to the hotel alone, instead of going back with Su Jin and the others.
On the way, she ran into Xia Xinyuan outside a restaurant.
Xia Xinyuan also saw her.
The two hadn't seen each other since their last breakup, even pretending not to see each other when they bumped into each other on the red carpet, but today their eyes met.
However, Song Leilei only felt disgusted by this eye contact.
In her words: "When dealing with a scumbag, it's good enough if you don't slap him."
So, Song Leilei left right in front of Xia Xinyuan.
Xia Xinyuan broke up with his girlfriend today and had a few drinks. He wasn't drunk, but since he hadn't seen his ex-girlfriend for so long, he assumed that Song Leilei was still waiting for him and felt that he could still win over this young girl.
He wanted to find someone to keep him company.
So Xia Xinyuan chased after him.
Song Leilei never expected Xia Xinyuan to shamelessly follow her. She noticed that his cheeks were slightly flushed and his eyes held a hint of melancholy.
Of course, he's melancholic because that's just how his eyes are; who wouldn't look melancholic to him?
She took two steps to the side, but Xia Xinyuan blocked her way again.
So she moved to the side again, but was blocked again.
Looking up, Song Leilei was furious: "The road is so wide, even dogs don't block people's way."
Song Leilei had been playing around with Xu Jingzhi since childhood, and her tongue was very nimble. However, she would be very shy and reserved when facing strangers and would not be able to say anything.
But now, the person in front of her is her ex-boyfriend who has cheated on her, and her tongue is like a switch has been turned on, wanting to spit this scumbag to death.
Xia Xinyuan touched his chest, his eyes blinking rapidly: "I know I hurt you. I chose her instead of you back then. You resent me, but I've broken up with her now, and we can still be together."
His expression was so unpleasant to look at.
People who blink frequently seem insincere.
However, she didn't want to see sincerity in such a scumbag.
"Heh," Song Leilei said, "Then I wish you a happy breakup."
She walked towards the steps by the roadside, and Xia Xinyuan continued to chase after her, blocking her way.
“I know you still love me. If we get back together, we can act together. I have a female lead role available in my next film. I can recommend you for it. We can create a couple on screen.”
Xia Xinyuan used the title of leading lady, which was extremely alluring to even obscure actresses, as bait, attempting to win over the woman in front of him. He was still very confident that as long as she felt even a hint of his affection, she would definitely turn back; that's how it had been with all the women who had surrounded him over the years.
"I don't care about your leading lady role." Song Leilei took out a mask and put it on herself. She didn't want to have any rumors with Xia Xinyuan.
Moreover, out of self-protection, she gave Xia Xinyuan a mask: "You wear this too."
Xia Xinyuan lowered his head, his eyes revealing a hint of greasiness, thinking to himself: Little brat, isn't this enough to seduce you?
“I want you to put it on for me personally,” he said.
Song Leilei: "......"
"No hands? You can donate your hands to the hospital if you don't need them."
This was very different from what Xia Xinyuan had expected. He looked at her in confusion: "You wouldn't have talked to me like this before. Now..."
"You used to be a very good senior in my eyes, with a refined temperament and a humble personality, but now, your face is greasy and your expression is hypocritical. I find you disgusting," Song Leilei said while glaring at him.
"I'm greasy, I'm hypocritical, I... disgusting?" The more Xia Xinyuan repeated, the more unacceptable it became. These words had nothing to do with him at all. He was the most popular male actor of the year!
No one has ever used that word to describe him.
At this moment, Xia Xinyuan was plunged into unprecedented shock.
"Hmm." Song Leilei nodded. "What, isn't this how you see yourself? It turns out you don't have a true understanding of yourself. No wonder you're always so confident. But no matter how good your appearance is, if your inner self is rotten, your face will collapse too."
Xia Xinyuan's face gradually lost color, and Song Leilei added insult to injury: "Your appearance reflects your heart, that's exactly what I mean by you."
Xia Xinyuan: "......"
Although the words were harsh, Xia Xinyuan glanced at his reflection in the shop window and instantly regained all his confidence.
“You love me too much, and that love has turned into hatred, which is why you deliberately slander me.” Xia Xinyuan revealed a flippant look and meticulously adjusted his hair. “I can forgive your slander against me, but I will also punish you.”
punish?
A wave of disgust washed over Song Leilei. She frowned in disdain. Did he think he was some kind of domineering CEO? How could he say something like that?
He's played too many domineering CEOs, gotten too immersed in the roles, and can no longer find his true self.
Song Leilei thought he was just reciting domineering CEO lines, but unexpectedly, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
She stared wide-eyed as his dog head lowered, and before she could get any closer, she reached out her right hand and slapped him hard across his proudest left cheek.
The resounding slap left Xia Xinyuan completely stunned.
Song Leilei wanted to curse him a few more times, but before she could even speak, a figure blocked her way, preventing her from getting close to Xia Xinyuan.
Xu Jingzhi arrived.
I don't know where he came from, he arrived quickly and his punches were even faster.
Xu Jingzhi punched Xia Xinyuan in the nose, who was stunned. Song Leilei could clearly hear the sound of bones breaking from behind.
Immediately, Xia Xinyuan covered his nose with both hands and wailed.
Seeing this, Song Leilei grabbed Xu Jingzhi and ran away quickly. Xia Xinyuan was worried about being disfigured, so he could only call an ambulance for himself first and didn't have time to chase after the two of them.
They ran all the way to the hotel entrance before stopping.
Song Leilei bent over, supporting herself on her thighs with both hands, panting heavily.
Xu Jingzhi has good stamina; he can run this distance without even breaking a sweat.
"The actor in the crew you mentioned, that's him. Song Leilei, you're something else, you're always greedy, and now you want to eat twice-cooked pork."
Xu Jingzhi's words were sarcastic, but Song Leilei didn't understand them.
Song Leilei looked up and straightened up. "Twice-cooked pork, I haven't had it in a long time. Don't mention food tonight, or I'll start wanting to eat again."
She suddenly remembered something, and her eyes lit up. "Oh right, I haven't eaten dinner yet. Let's go get some twice-cooked pork together."
Xu Jingzhi: "......"
Is this what you mean by "twice-cooked pork"?
Song Leilei was stumped, biting her fingernails in frustration. "Twice-cooked pork isn't supposed to be twice-cooked pork, so are you talking about Dongpo pork?"
At this point, she couldn't help but swallow hard. "Actually, Dongpo pork is also very good. Let me see which restaurant has it."
She opened the software and started searching.
Xu Jingzhi took her phone away. "Stand still."
"what?"
"You can't think of anything else but food. The twice-cooked pork I'm talking about is Xia Xinyuan's."
Song Leilei: "......"
"He's more like Dongpo pork, very greasy."
"That's not the point, forget it." Xu Jingzhi didn't know why he was here arguing with her about twice-cooked pork and Dongpo pork. He must be out of his mind.
