"Chen Xu?"
Chen Xu's reaction was completely beyond Chen Ziqi's expectations. Seeing him sitting on the ground, his expression dazed, as if he had suffered a major blow, she panicked. She was always smart, but now she was at a loss, not knowing what to do.
After a while, Chen Xu seemed to have stabilized a little and sat there in a daze.
Chen Ziqi covered his chest and asked carefully, "Are you okay?"
Chen Xu lowered his head, said nothing, and made no movement, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Chen Ziqi was panicking, so she used her trump card, "How about I give Sister Xiyun a call?"
Hearing this name, Chen Xu finally reacted. He raised his head, looked at him, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't fight."
"oh."
Chen Ziqi felt relieved when he heard him speak. Seeing that his eyes were red, she asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?"
Chen Xu was silent for a while, then asked, "Do you know how to contact Bai Jinxuan?"
Hiss…
Chen Ziqi took a breath and said, "Brother, do you have to be so affectionate when you are chasing a star?" Immediately, she felt something was wrong.
Based on her understanding of Chen Xu, it seems unlikely that he would be so sad for a star he has never met. If you think about it carefully, whether it is Yang Jinxia or Luo Xiyun, they are both rare beauties. Bai Jinxuan is not necessarily better than them except for her star aura.
When it came to Yang Jinxia and Luo Xiyun, Chen Xu hesitated for a while before she chose to accept. She was simply a model of not being moved by beauty, so why did she become like this when it came to Bai Jinxuan? Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind.
What the hell, is this possible?
She almost asked the question without thinking, but held back at the last moment. With Chen Xu's personality, he would never say it even if she asked.
Seeing that she was standing there without any reaction, Chen Xu held the edge of the bed and stood up. He pushed her and the chair aside, squatted in front of the computer, put his hands on the keyboard, and thought about how to search.
"I remember now."
Chen Ziqi said hurriedly, "She has a QQ number on her Weibo. Try adding it."
"Scarf."
Chen Xu muttered to himself and opened a navigation web page. He moved the mouse around but couldn't find the Weibo link.
"This." Chen Ziqi knew from his movements that he didn't usually go on Weibo, so she reached out to the screen and pointed it out for him.
Chen Xu clicked on the Weibo homepage.
"Just enter her name in the search box and click search." Chen Ziqi continued to instruct him.
When the search results came out, Chen Xu flipped through the pages but didn't see any Q number on them, so he asked, "Where is it?"
"Let me see?" Chen Ziqi took control of the mouse from him and said, "It was there just now. It's a six-digit Q number."
She flipped the page to the top and scrolled down a little bit. Today, there were only a few contents about participating in the event. "Hey, it's really gone. Strange. Could it have been deleted?"
She looked confused.
"But it's okay. Even if it's deleted, I can still find it." She closed the page, skillfully opened a forum, clicked on a post, and said, "On the Internet, there is a method called screenshot. You can't delete something that has been published and it will be fine."
Chen Xu looked at the screenshot. It was indeed a Weibo post from Bai Jinxuan. The message was very brief, "Add my QQ. I'll wait for you."
He was about to take out his phone when he suddenly glanced at Chen Ziqi and said, "You go out first. I want to be alone for a while."
"???"
Chen Ziqi stared at him with wide eyes. Is there anyone like you who would tear down the bridge after crossing the river? Chen Xu ignored her, turned the chair around, and pushed both the chair and the person out of the door, then closed the door and locked it.
Then, he took out his cell phone, opened QQ, and entered the number in the post. The nickname he searched for was Bai Jinxuan, and the avatar was her own photo.
He clicked Add Friend and a verification interface popped up.
Question 1: What was the name of the supermarket where we spent the first night? Seeing this question, his thoughts instantly went back to that night.
In the middle of the night, a robot attacked and he went to stop it. Bai Jinxuan thought he wanted to attack her at night, so she pitifully asked him not to hurt her and to date her for a few days. When she said "I'm super sweet", it made people laugh and cry, and also made people feel pity.
With trembling fingers, he typed in "Xuri Supermarket" in the answer column.
The name of that supermarket contained the word "Xu", so he remembered it very clearly.
Question 2: What is the name of the little girl we picked up? The little girl they picked up on the way to the military camp was a little afraid of him at first, then timid, then close to him, and later, she asked them in an innocent tone, "Are you my parents in the future?"
This little girl has lived with them for several months. She is so well-behaved that it makes people feel distressed. He has become accustomed to her presence. The three of them live together, and in the eyes of others, they are a happy family of three.
Thinking about the little things that happened to the three of them living together over the past few months, his nose felt a little sour.
Question 3: Do you love me? When he saw the third question, he was stunned and sat there staring at the screen.
Half a minute later, the screen dimmed automatically.
He still didn't move.
I don’t know how long it was after, but there was a beep and the screen lit up, showing a WeChat message.
Luo Xiyun: What are you doing? After a moment, the screen went dark again.
In front of his eyes, one moment he saw Bai Jinxuan's heartbroken face, the next moment he saw Luo Xiyun's bright smile when she left in the morning.
The two faces flashed alternately, and he felt like his head was about to explode. He fell on the bed, staring at the ceiling with a look of pain. Why did I have to make such a cruel choice?
Knock knock.
"Chen Xu."
"Can you open the door?"
"I forgot to take my cherries."
Chen Ziqi's voice came from outside the door.
Chen Xu did not respond, and the crowd outside the door suddenly became quiet.
After a while, there was another knock on the door. "Chen Xu, um, I left my phone inside."
Chen Xu let out a long sigh, sat up, and went over to open the door.
Chen Ziqi pushed the chair into the room and glanced quietly at the phone in his hand. Seeing that she couldn't see anything, she couldn't help but pout.
Chen Xu ignored her and lay back down on the bed.
She pushed the chair back to its original position, picked up the plate of cherries and her cell phone, and lingered there, refusing to leave.
"Why don't you leave?" Chen Xu, lying there without looking at her, suddenly spoke.
She was startled, "Uh... well, are you hungry? Otherwise, let's go out and eat something."
Chen Xu sat up from the bed and asked her, "If there are two men at the same time, one of them you just made a promise to, and the other one who can give up everything for you. Which one would you choose?"
Chen Ziqi pushed the chair over and sat in front of him. After thinking for a while, he said, "Then I'll choose the first one."
"Why?"
Chen Ziqi said, "The second man, after giving up everything, then he has nothing. Although I am very touched, I feel that I owe him too much and it is too tiring to be with him. Moreover, he has nothing and can't give me anything. So why should I be with him?"
Chen Xu frowned, thought about it, and felt that she was looking at the problem from a female perspective, so he changed his words, "What if you were a man? There are two women in front of you now."
Chen Ziqi thought for a while, his face became tangled, and he said, "Do I have to choose one? If I were a man, I would want both."
Chen Xu looked at her, sighed, and said, "It's useless to ask you."
"Why is it useless to ask? Do you think I don't understand? If you choose one, at most the other will be sad. If you choose both, and it's exposed later, all three will be hurt."
Chen Ziqi said unconvincedly, "But have you ever thought about it? Bai Jinxuan is a big star, and a popular star. Her contract is in the hands of the agency, and she has no freedom. Do you think she can quit the circle if she wants to? Don't be silly. You can't bend your thighs, understand? Do you dare to challenge the capital behind her? The capital will teach you a lesson in minutes. The best you can do is to be underground lovers."
"Do you know how busy she is at work? If you two are really together, how many times can you see each other in a year? Have you ever thought about this?"
"Brother, you are a man, you should be brave enough to take responsibility. She has given up everything for you, what else do you want? Be brave, if you want to do it, be a free and easy scumbag."
Chen Xu waved his hand and said, "Get out quickly."
"Okay." Chen Ziqi jumped off the chair and left the room.
Chen Xu picked up his phone, woke up the screen, opened QQ, took a deep breath, and typed in the answer, "I don't know either."
He really didn't know that if he said he loved her, he was lying to her. If he said he didn't love her, he was lying to himself.
After clicking send, he switched to WeChat and replied to Luo Xiyun, "I just came back from looking at houses."
Then he stood up, went to the bathroom downstairs, washed his face, and when he came out, looking at the busy noodle shop, the depression in his chest seemed to dissipate.
He didn't know what would happen in the future, and he didn't want to care about it anymore.
PS: This is the second update today. I will leave right after I finish it. The journey of more than 800 kilometers is giving me a headache just thinking about it. Anyway, I can’t write today. I am not sure about tomorrow’s update, maybe it will be in the evening.
