Chapter 42 If you like someone, go after him!
After getting out of the car, neither of them spoke again.
After parting at the stairs, Cheng Luanxin fled back to her room, turned off the camera with the remote control, and fell headfirst onto the bed without even removing her makeup.
She pouted aggrievedly, picked up Xiaochi and took a deep breath. Thinking of the origin of Xiaochi's name, she threw it into the corner in disgust.
Du Zhiruo saw her like this and walked over with a smile: "What's wrong? Weren't you all fine during the live broadcast just now? Everyone thought you two were so sweet and were praising you two so much."
Cheng Luanxin sneered self-deprecatingly, "Sweet? It's all acting. Everyone knows Song Qiuchi is a movie queen. Is there anything she can't act?"
Du Zhiruo sat beside her: "What's wrong? Why are you so resentful?"
The more Cheng Luan thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She couldn't help but vent, "Zhiruo, am I really that unpopular? I know a lot of people don't like my personality and think I'm careless and heartless. I don't expect everyone to like me. But, I've been with Song Qiuchi for so long, why can't she accept me?"
Seeing her growing more agitated, Du Zhiruo patted her shoulder soothingly, "Don't worry. How could Qiu Chi dislike you? She's not that kind of person. Is there some misunderstanding?"
Cheng Luanxin shook her head. "There's no misunderstanding. She acted very respectfully and gave me enough respect. But you know what? It's like being told to my face, 'I don't want to be friends with you anymore.' It's really hard."
"How could this happen?" Du Zhiruo seemed puzzled. "What happened to you?"
Cheng Luan really wanted to pour out all the dissatisfaction in her heart, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know where to start. She sighed: "Forget it, I don't want to think about her anymore, let her be, it doesn't matter."
Du Zhiruo nodded: "Well, don't be angry, let's divert our attention. Whatever you want to do now, I will accompany you."
Cheng Luanxin gritted her teeth and said, "I want to write a song to scold her."
Du Zhiruo laughed: "Aren't you still thinking about her?"
"No, I can't swallow this." Cheng Luanxin looked at Du Zhiruo indignantly: "Zhiruo, please promise me, Song Qiuchi will definitely come to find you, don't promise her, let her also taste the feeling of being rejected."
Du Zhiruo was helpless: "How did you know she would ask me out?"
"Don't you know she likes you?" Cheng Luan thought to herself, "I know it's ungentlemanly to talk about others behind their backs, but Song Qiuchi is really going too far. She's taking out all her frustrations about not being able to love you on me. You don't know how angry she was when she saw the rosewood bracelet you modified. Her expression changed instantly. You're so naive, don't be fooled by her. She's not someone you can get along with."
Du Zhiruo stared at Cheng Luanxin for a long time and agreed: "Okay, I won't agree to her."
On the other side, Song Qiuchi returned to the dormitory and the first thing he did was to turn off the camera.
Her emotions were relatively stable, but her expression was solemn. She called Yu Peiyin directly and proposed to terminate the contract.
Yu Peiyin was puzzled. "What's going on? I saw good reviews of both of you online, and you two are old classmates. How can you just break up like that? How do you want the audience to judge you after the show airs?"
Song Qiuchi said softly, "She's not happy with me, and I don't want to keep her tied to me. I've tried to be nice to her, but she's very resistant, deliberately distancing herself from me, and insists on separating from me."
Yu Peiyin: "Can't you even continue the performance these few days?"
Song Qiuchi: "I can't go on acting."
Yu Peiyin couldn't help but complain, "What's going on with Song Qiuchi? Isn't she a top actress? She was the one who first proposed the collaboration, so how could she not stick with it for just two weeks? Is she acting like a big shot even on set?"
Song Qiuchi: "..."
Yu Peiyin: "Alright, you've already made your decision, so I can't say anything more. Just make sure you don't regret it. I'll contact her agent, so don't worry about it."
Song Qiuchi said "thank you" softly.
Yu Peiyin sighed: "Oh, don't be sad, just perform well next time, and we'll find someone better than Song Qiuchi. I think Liang Shengxia is a good choice!"
Song Qiuchi: "..."
After hanging up the phone and turning around, Song Qiuchi saw Su Ling curled up on the bed opposite, looking at him with horror.
She came back halfway through a call with Song Qiuchi. She was deliberately careful not to disturb the other party, but ended up hearing most of his secrets.
Song Qiuchi thought for a moment and said, "I won't provoke Liang Shengxia, you don't have to worry."
"That's not it!" Su Ling ran barefoot to Song Qiuchi, "What's going on between you and Qiuchi? Are you two... just running a fake business?"
Song Qiuchi nodded: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
"Luanxin! Why are you so stupid?" Su Ling said angrily, "You two can't do this. Your agent doesn't know the details, but I've seen it all. You guys hyped up the relationship so much in the early stages, and now it's all over. There's bound to be a lot of people scolding you! What's the reason for breaking up the relationship?"
Song Qiuchi was also a little confused: "There is no specific reason, it's just not suitable. We all think it's not suitable."
"You're all just faking it, so why are you still fussing about whether it's appropriate or not? No, you can't do that. You two haven't experienced online bullying before, so you don't know how powerful those people are. Whatever they can praise you now, they can also scold you in the future."
Song Qiuchi's heart moved. She didn't mind being scolded by others, but if Cheng Luanxin was also scolded...
She doesn't want this.
"So, what do you think we should do?"
"Chi Xin's secret promise can't be broken! You should have a good talk with Qiu Chi. You have to finish recording the show no matter what. Qiu Chi is not the kind of person who is unreasonable. I think there must be a misunderstanding between you two. Why is she so resistant when you treat her better? Can't you see that she is shy around you?"
Song Qiuchi frowned: "Is she shy?"
Su Ling was completely convinced: "What else? Do you think she hates you?"
Song Qiuchi thought for a moment and said, "I asked her to take care of herself, but she said she could live well without me reminding her. Isn't that annoying?"
Su Ling: "...You're flirting with someone and trying to draw a line between you and them. Who wouldn't be angry?"
Song Qiuchi felt that his brain was not enough: "Then what do you think we should do?"
"Let me ask you this, do you actually have feelings for Qiu Chi?"
"...Yes." Song Qiuchi blushed, feeling embarrassed to admit his feelings for Cheng Luanxin.
"That's it! If you like her, go after her!"
Song Qiuchi hadn't thought about pursuing Cheng Luanxin yet. He paused, then leaned over to ask humbly, "How do I pursue her?"
"Go ask her out! Do you have any other plans this weekend? If not, then get ready! Didn't Xia Xia and I go to the Othello Theater to see a play a few days ago? That musical was quite good, called "The Leisurely Life of Beta at Large." I see there's a show tomorrow, why don't you go ask her out?"
Song Qiuchi thought about it and felt that this was a good idea, so he agreed.
The next morning, Song Qiuchi had already reserved her seat. The play started at 7 p.m., and she was already feeling restless around 2 or 3 p.m., meticulously putting on her makeup and debating whether to message Cheng Luanxin.
Given their current relationship, it would be difficult to even ask them out.
She hesitated for a long time and sent the screenshot of the ticket booking to Cheng Luanxin.
Cheng Luanxin played games for the whole morning to vent her emotions, and her mood was just beginning to improve, but she was shocked again when she saw the news.
She sent a voice message directly: "What's up? The tickets you bought earlier are up again, and no one is going to go with you?"
Song Qiuchi was rarely embarrassed, but luckily Cheng Luanxin couldn't see her face through the screen:
"No, I just wanted to ask if you were interested."
Cheng Luan felt furious. What if she was interested? What if she wasn't interested? They had already agreed to part ways amicably and have a good beginning and a good end. What was the point of talking about this now?
She simply said, "I'm not interested. Ask someone else."
"You rejected me." Song Qiuchi was like a primary school student who had just started learning about love, and he obediently showed his phone to Su Ling.
Su Ling looked at the chat history of just a few words and felt helpless: "It's already this time, can't you say a few nice words?"
"How do you say that?"
"Oh, isn't it easy to say this? Just tell me, honey, I didn't do anything right yesterday and made you feel wronged. Give me a chance to make amends. I'll take you to the theater and ask you to stop being angry. Isn't that enough?"
Song Qiuchi frowned and repeated, "Baby, I didn't do well yesterday and made you feel wronged. So what?"
"...You've really never been in love." Su Ling was helpless and took Song Qiuchi's phone. "I'll speak for you...ah."
"What's wrong?" Song Qiuchi leaned over.
Cheng Luanxin sent another message: "Sorry, I changed my mind. I'm actually quite interested, so I plan to go with Zhiruo. Thank you for your suggestion."
