Chapter 02 Chapter 2

Meng Yuansheng walked on the street in a daze.

When facing Jiang Mo, he seemed to be unrestrained, but in fact, his heart was numb with pain.

He devoted his heart and soul to Jiang Mo for six years. Jiang Mo didn't like to eat outside, so he made nutritious meals for him personally. Jiang Mo was impulsive and offended people, so he faced the other party's cold words and cleaned up his butt. Jiang Mo didn't care about social trivialities, so he remembered all the people and things in the circle, big and small, and reminded Jiang Mo imperceptibly.

He never thought that he had invested so many years of feelings, but the other party turned out to be such a scumbag.

Not only was it painful, but also confused.

In these years, the focus of his life has been on Jiang Mo, not for himself at all. Now that he has left Jiang Mo, he doesn't even know where to go.

It started to rain from the sky.

Meng Yuansheng sat on the roadside with his knees hugged.

His whole body was soaked by the rain, like a kitten abandoned on the roadside.

Suddenly, the cool rain disappeared.

Meng Yuansheng raised his head slowly and found an umbrella on his head.

The young man holding the umbrella looked to be in his early twenties, with light linen hair, a pair of wet and innocent puppy eyes, a straight nose, slightly upturned lips, obvious beads on his lips, and chubby face, looking very cute.

His eyes were full of clarity and carefreeness, and the smile at the corners of his lips was very contagious. Even someone like Meng Yuansheng, who was full of worries, couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed.

Gu Xingshi: "Are you okay? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

"Thank you, I..." Meng Yuansheng thanked him subconsciously, and then reacted, "It's you?!"

Gu Xingshi blinked, a little puzzled: "Do you know me?"

Meng Yuansheng pursed his lips, although it was a question, his tone was affirmative: "You were the one in the 24-hour convenience store before, right?"

Gu Xingshi was shocked: "How did you recognize me?"

He was sure that Meng Yuansheng did not see his appearance at the convenience store.

Meng Yuansheng: "I recognized your voice."

Gu Xingshi was even more shocked.

He only said one sentence in total, and there was the sound of rain and traffic next to him, so he couldn't hear what he was saying, but Meng Yuansheng not only heard it clearly, but also recognized him.

What kind of ears are these!

Meng Yuansheng looked at him calmly: "You deliberately let me hear it before, right?"

"Who are you? What's your purpose?"

Gu Xingshi didn't want to hide it from him, and said straightforwardly: "I'm an agent."

"Agent?"

Meng Yuansheng was stunned for a moment.

But he soon remembered that Jiang Mo was about to terminate his contract, and many companies had indeed contacted him recently, trying to sign him.

When he thought that Gu Xingshi was also doing this, he felt a little depressed and his voice became cold: "If you want to use this as a handle to threaten Jiang Mo, I advise you to give up."

Gu Xingshi asked curiously: "Why?"

Meng Yuansheng said calmly: "Jiang Mo has no intimate photos, ambiguous messages, or transfer records with anyone. You just saw him picking up Xu Yi at the door of the hotel. Even if it is a little intimate, it is nothing for a good friend."

He didn't know that Gu Xingshi followed him and took more than a little intimate photos.

Gu Xingshi didn't explain, but just asked: "With you too?"

Meng Yuansheng's body was shocked and he looked at Gu Xingshi in shock.

Gu Xingshi blinked: "Jiang Mo is your boyfriend, right?"

Meng Yuansheng lowered his eyes and said after a long time: "No."

The melon-eating system also proved it for him: [Meng Yuansheng would regularly clean up their mobile phones and social media. No one knew about their relationship except Jiang Mo's agent. ]

Gu Xingshi was shocked.

He remembered that the system said that Meng Yuansheng and Jiang Mo had been dating for six years.

Six years!

Not six months, nor six days.

Meng Yuansheng has sacrificed too much!

Ahhhh! Jiang Mo is a scumbag!

Gu Xingshi sympathized with Meng Yuansheng even more. He shook his head: "Not Jiang Mo, I want to sign you."

Meng Yuansheng was stunned.

It seemed that his dull brain could not process the information brought by these words.

"Sign me? Why?"

Gu Xingshi was puzzled: "Why why?"

Meng Yuansheng asked in a low voice: "I'm just an ordinary assistant, what's there to sign?"

"You are good-looking, you can sing and dance, and many of the creative ideas in Jiang Mo's previous albums were yours, why can't you do it?"

Meng Yuansheng's pupils shrank slightly.

Since Jiang Mo debuted, Meng Yuansheng has participated in the production of every one of his albums. From song selection to later materials, he has spent countless efforts.

At the beginning, Meng Yuansheng also hoped to have a signature, but Jiang Mo always coaxed him, saying that the album cover was limited and could not accommodate so many people, and said that he was worried that crazy fans would find out about their relationship, and then his future would be ruined.

Meng Yuansheng endured it all for him.

Therefore, outsiders have no idea that those amazing ideas come from him.

Why does Gu Xingshi know this? !

This is naturally what Gu Xingshi learned from the melon-eating system.

The system also told him that if it weren't for Meng Yuansheng, Jiang Mo wouldn't be so popular. Between the two of them, it's not that Meng Yuansheng can't leave Jiang Mo, but Jiang Mo can't leave Meng Yuansheng.

He was shocked when he heard it, and asked the system in disbelief: [Meng Yuansheng didn't break up with that scumbag Jiang Mo? ! Did the scumbag set him up? ]

As the saying goes, ruining someone's future is like killing their parents. Jiang Mo's behavior has destroyed Meng Yuansheng's entire family, right? !

If it were him, he would definitely not be able to tolerate this! !

System: [Hey, this is also an old story. When Meng Yuansheng was a child, he was almost kidnapped by bad guys and was rescued. He always thought that it was Jiang Mo who saved him. Jiang Mo also knew the reason, but he was vague and did not deny it. ]

Gu Xingshi couldn't help but sigh: [What a textbook scumbag! ]

If he wants to take revenge on this kind of person, he must make Meng Yuansheng, whom he once looked down upon, more popular and more successful than him, pull him down from his high position, and then step on him hard.

Thinking of this, Gu Xingshi asked Meng Yuansheng: "Do you want to be a star?"

Meng Yuansheng's heart trembled.

He thought of himself standing in the dim backstage, watching Jiang Mo perform on the bright and beautiful stage.

The eyes of the crowd on the stage, the hot pursuit off the stage.

Doesn't he want that kind of life?

No, this is what he wanted!

He wanted to stand on the stage.

He wanted to be liked by others.

He wanted to be the center of attention!

Gu Xingshi's words were like opening Pandora's box, drawing out a ray of ambition hidden in his heart.

It was as if the glass bottle that trapped him was broken, and his desire grew in the wind.

Meng Yuansheng's heart suddenly began to beat violently, and blood rushed to his pale cheeks, making his face look more and more lively.

Gu Xingshi looked at his rosy cheeks, but was very worried: "Your face is so red, is it a severe fever, or should we go to the hospital?"

"I'm fine."

Meng Yuansheng came back to his senses from his imagination, and just as he was about to say something, Jiang Mo's voice came from not far away: "Shengsheng!"

Gu Xingshi and Meng Yuansheng changed their faces at the same time.

Gu Xingshi felt a little regretful.

Who could have thought that Jiang Mo would come out to look for someone? If he had known earlier, he should have kept Meng Yuansheng away.

"Shengsheng..." Jiang Mo pulled down his mask and looked at Meng Yuansheng affectionately, but the next second when he saw Gu Xing standing next to him, his expression suddenly changed, "Who is he?"

Meng Yuansheng turned his face away: "It has nothing to do with you."

Jiang Mo's eyes flashed with displeasure, but he still said patiently: "I have something to talk to you, let's talk aside."

Meng Yuansheng hesitated for a moment.

He was extremely disappointed with Jiang Mo at this moment, but after all, the two had been in love for many years, and his body had not completely gotten rid of this inertia.

Jiang Mo took this opportunity to pull him aside.

Jiang Mo couldn't wait to ask: "Who is that person? When did you know him, you didn't tell him about what happened between us?"

Meng Yuansheng knew him very well, and he knew that his focus was on the second half of the sentence.

It was just that I was blinded by emotions before and didn't think deeply. Only now did I realize how selfish and cold this person who had been with me for six years was.

He sneered, "He was just a kind person passing by. He saw me in the rain and kindly helped me hold an umbrella."

Jiang Mo was very upset by his gloomy tone, but thinking of his purpose, he still endured it for the time being: "Shengsheng, I'm just too worried about you. I'm afraid you'll be cheated."

At this moment, the sound of a short video suddenly rang next to him.

[Teach you to identify the ten PUA words of a scumbag.]

[Word 1, dear, I'm just too worried about you. I'm afraid you'll be cheated. On the surface, the scumbag cares about you, but in fact, he is just looking for a better reason for his desire to control...]

​​Jiang Mo: "......!"

This was like a slap in the face of Jiang Mo.

His face suddenly turned red, and he looked in the direction of Gu Xingshi angrily.

He thought Gu Xingshi did it on purpose, but he found that he was standing very far away and it was impossible for him to hear their conversation.

It should be just a coincidence.

He could only grit his teeth and negotiate with him: "Can you stop playing it out loud?"

Gu Xingshi rolled his eyes at him and said bluntly: "Why, is it illegal to play it out loud?"

Jiang Mo couldn't argue with him, and didn't want his identity to be discovered, so he could only swallow his anger.

He fermented his emotions for a while, and continued to say to Meng Yuansheng: "I have let Xu Yi go. I know I was wrong about this. I was also bewildered for a while..."

[A man's mouth is a lie! When a man says to you, I was wrong, I was also bewildered for a while, you must not believe him! There are only zero times and countless times of cheating! When you see a cockroach, there may be a thousand in the dark! When you see him cheating for the first time, he may have cheated countless times in private...】

Jiang Mo: "!!!"

He was completely unable to continue, and wanted to kill Gu Xingshi with his eyes.

Meng Yuansheng was originally in pain.

But after being teased by Gu Xingshi, he didn't feel so uncomfortable.

He looked at Jiang Mo: "Just say whatever you want to say."

Jiang Mo frowned, not used to him talking to him like this, but thinking of business, he still endured it: "Shengsheng, I'm already preparing for my next album. Aren't you looking forward to it? You said you have a lot of ideas to try. Come back to Beijing with me tomorrow for a meeting."

After he finished speaking, Meng Yuansheng was unmoved.

Jiang Mo gritted his teeth and continued: "I fought for a long time this time, and finally got you a signature. Are you touched?"

If he had said this before today, Meng Yuansheng might really be moved.

But at this moment, hearing the rights that he should have gotten being spoken of in such a condescending tone, he only felt sad and bored.

At the same time, another voice rang in his heart.

Why don't I make an album for myself.

Not relying on the charity of others.

But an album that truly belongs to me.

As soon as this thought arose, it was as if a prairie fire was burning in his chest.

The firelight made his eyes brighten.

But it soon dimmed again.

What is he thinking?

He is just an amateur without any outstanding achievements. Who would release an album for someone like him?

Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked in the direction of Gu Xingshi.

Gu Xingshi looked at him encouragingly.

His eyes were clear, sincere and enthusiastic.

It was like a ray of light that broke through despair.

Pulled him out of the quagmire of inferiority.

Jiang Mo was still chattering about the next arrangements, but heard Meng Yuansheng say, "I don't want to."

"What?" Jiang Mo didn't hear clearly.

Meng Yuansheng raised his head, and although his voice was still trembling slightly, he said slowly and firmly: "I don't want to."

Jiang Mo was stunned.

He never thought that Meng Yuansheng would reject him.

"What do you mean?"

Meng Yuansheng: "I don't want to stand behind you anymore, I... want to try it myself."

"Try it yourself?" Jiang Mo seemed to have thought of something, and sneered, "Shengsheng, you don't want to be an artist, do you?"

"I'm not trying to discourage you. Do you really think it's so easy to debut? You're not young anymore. You should be more realistic. The big companies have such strict screening for trainees. How can you possibly pass it? As for those small companies, huh, they all cast a wide net and want trainees to pay breach of contract fees."

He held Meng Yuansheng's shoulders and softened his voice. "I'm doing this for your own good. With your temper, if I hadn't protected you, you would have been swallowed up by others."

Meng Yuansheng's face turned pale, but he insisted, "This is my own business."

Jiang Mo was annoyed by his ignorant condescension and lost his patience. He sneered, "Okay! I want to see what you are capable of!"

After that, he turned around and left.

Meng Yuansheng had long been accustomed to his personality and didn't care.

He waited until his figure completely disappeared at the end of the road before he walked up to Gu Xingshi and asked awkwardly but expectantly, "You...was what you said before true?"

Gu Xingshi was discussing gossip with the system fiercely, and was slow to react, "What...Oh oh oh, you said you'd sign you, of course it's true!"

He took out his business card unskillfully and handed it to Meng Yuansheng.

Meng Yuansheng held the business card tightly in his palm.

It was like grabbing a life-saving straw.

Gu Xingshi stretched out his hand: "My name is Gu Xingshi, and I look forward to our cooperation."

Meng Yuansheng held his hand and showed his first sincere smile tonight: "Me too."
