He looked at the dialog box quietly, adhering to the principle of not moving unless the enemy moves.

But the other party didn't move, probably just as he thought.

Xing Chen suddenly thought that the man's eyes had...

The phone suddenly vibrated and Xing Chen looked down.

My heart felt like it was being grabbed in the hand by the other person and I couldn't breathe.

It was a surveillance screenshot. Although it was just a screenshot, it was clear that two people were kissing, one of whom was Nan Ke.

Xing Chen would not make a mistake. Even if he mistook anyone else in this world, he would not fail to recognize Nan Ke.

He typed with trembling fingers, intending to ask the other party what he wanted to do, but before he could successfully type a single word, the other party made a voice call to him.

It is an absolute provocation.

Xing Chen calmed himself down and clicked the answer button.

“…”

The other party didn't say anything, and Xing Chen didn't say anything either. After waiting for a while, a faint sigh came from the other side.

Should I say I feel relieved?

Fortunately, he didn't hear Nan Ke's voice, otherwise Xing Chen felt that he would die on the spot.

Xing Chen clenched his teeth, suppressed all his anger and asked him, "What's the matter?"

"Let's meet. I have something to tell you in person."

This person's voice had some overlap with what Xing Chen imagined, but it was not exactly the same.

The other party's words were clear, and Xing Chen stopped playing dumb and said, "Okay."

No matter what unpleasant words the other party said to him in person, he had to meet this person.

As soon as the call was hung up, the other party sent a location and a very short voice message saying the time.

Xing Chen didn't reply. With trembling fingers, he exited the chat page with the stranger, clicked on the one with Nan Ke, didn't know what to say for a long time, and exited again.

He spent a long time like a walking corpse afterwards, and he didn't hear anything Mogo said to him.

I finally came to my senses and realized that I should have wanted to tell Nan Ke that I would be home late today.

However, the time that person agreed to meet him did not interfere with his usual time to go home.

Xing Chen sat down, closed his eyes, and took a long breath.

He took a temporary leave and left school early.

He drove to the location the other party sent him, which was a restaurant not far away.

At first, Xing Chen didn't know why the other party wanted to meet him in that restaurant. After all, shouldn't such things be met in a cafe or tea room?

But as soon as they arrived at the restaurant and walked in, Xing Chen understood.

That was the place where they were kissing in the photo. Xing Chen even quickly and accurately located the surveillance camera that recorded that scene.

He followed the surveillance camera's line of sight and saw the man who had been sitting there waiting for him for who knows how long.

Xing Chen gritted his teeth and walked towards the other party step by step, calmly and steadily.

Quan Xiu's ears twitched slightly, his eyes were not focused, and he turned to face the direction where Xing Chen was coming from.

"Mr. Xing Chen?"

"It's me."

Xing Chen sat down opposite, staring at the person in front of him intently.

He looked childish and young, but his eyes were obviously flawed.

Xing Chen did not overestimate himself and look down on others because of this.

He could not forget how miserable he looked when Nan Ke rescued him. Apart from his face and the achievements he had verbally recorded, he had nothing else to show for himself.

Xing Chen suddenly thought of a possibility. Why did Nan Ke treat the person in front of him differently?

Does she subconsciously like weak and helpless men?

Xing Chen's heart sank.

"What do you want from me?"

"Have you seen the photo?"

Xing Chen's face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice, "Photo?" He sneered, "You mean that meaningless screenshot? What does that mean?"

"That picture doesn't mean anything, but Mr. Xing wants to know how many times Nan Ke and I have met? What have we talked about?"

Xing Chen clenched his teeth and said nothing.

Quan Xiu didn't seem much calmer than him. In the end, he was the first to lose his composure and said, "Name a price."

Xing Chen laughed angrily, "What?"

"I know Mr. Xing's family is not well off. In the past few years that you've been with Nan Ke, she has always taken care of you. I don't want to say anything more unpleasant. Just name me a price, I'll pay it, and you leave her."

In fact, even if the other party said more harsh and straightforward words to deal with Xing Chen, he would not be too angry.

Before coming here, Xing Chen had already thought that the other party would definitely use this as an opportunity to attack him.

It is true that he was always uneasy and humbled because of this, but he had also anticipated the current situation.

The days he and Nan Ke lived together were not fake, and the sweetness they experienced together was real. There was no need to explain this to anyone.

"You pay?"

Xing Chen laughed disdainfully and asked Quan Xiu, "Nan Ke is my girlfriend, what is your relationship with her?"

"She likes me." Quan Xiu said without giving in.

After hearing what he said, Xing Chen silently clenched his fists with a cold look in his eyes.

Calm down, he told himself.

Don't fall into the trap set by the other party. Don't be so stupid.

"I'm afraid that's not what you said."

Xing Chen paused and said, "If she really liked you, you wouldn't be sitting here making conditions for me."

He raised an eyebrow, as if this statement also gave him great confidence: "You can't handle her, so you want me to give up. Am I right?"

Quan Xiu didn't say anything, but his expression became increasingly ugly.

Xing Chen sneered, then stood up and looked at Quan Xiu and said, "Please don't harass my girlfriend anymore."

Quan Xiu didn't say anything. Xing Chen smiled and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. I think you probably don't want her to know about our meeting. Don't worry, I won't tell her."

Xing Chen walked past the boy who was with Quan Xiu before as if nothing had happened. The boy stood up and kept looking at him.

He didn't know how he maintained his expression, but while sitting in the car, he could still hear his heartbeat which could not be calmed down at all.

It was ridiculously noisy.

Why is this happening?

He had clearly thought about what the other party would use to suppress him before coming, and he was clearly mentally prepared.

In fact, it seems that the other party has no other tricks to use, so he is desperate to try all kinds of methods, but!

On the surface, it seemed that Xing Chen had won this game, but in fact, his heart was full of anger and fear.

How dare Quan Xiu say so brazenly that Nan Ke likes him?

He was just a man who was looked at a few more times by Nan Ke because of his miserable life. He was not the first one.

Xing Chen thought that he was the first one.

By being shameless and doing everything he could, he was able to stay with Nan Ke...

After Quan Xiu, will there be a second Quan Xiu?

Nan Ke did not fall in love with Quan Xiu.

That's good.

But that doesn't mean she won't fall in love with the next Quan Xiu.

-

Even if you were almost pushed off the mountain, since you are not dead, you should continue to work and live.

The weather was nice that day. Nan Ke wrapped her coat tightly around her and walked out of the dressing room, intending to go home.

While waiting for the elevator, I saw one of the producers and greeted her. She was on the phone and smiled at Nan Ke in response.

The elevator arrived and they both walked in.

The producer was holding a large pile of information in her arms. The call didn't seem to be going smoothly. She sounded a little anxious, and when she pressed the floor button, everything in her arms accidentally fell to the ground.

Nan Ke waved at her, "I'll help you pick it up, you continue."

Before the other party could speak, Nan Ke had already squatted down. When she saw a certain photo, she was stunned.

The person involved had hung up the phone in a hurry and picked up the documents with her.

"It's okay, I can do it myself, thank you."

Nan Ke quickly came to his senses and helped her.

Standing up, Nan Ke thought for a moment, then asked, "What are these...?"

"It's a new employee's resume, and it was handed to me after screening." The other person looked at Nan Ke and smiled, then casually asked her, "Why? Is there anyone you know?"

This circle is actually neither big nor small, and it is not uncommon to meet people you know everywhere.

Nan Ke did not refute, but he didn't know what expression to show and looked a little embarrassed.

The other party smiled meaningfully. "Really? I just said it casually. Who is it? What's his name? What's he like? What are his abilities?"

“…Maybe I saw it wrong.”

Nan Ke smiled, looked at the other person and said, "Even if it's someone I know, it still depends on their ability. I don't do internal referrals."

The two chatted for a while and got off the elevator at different floors.

Nan Ke got into the car, took out his cell phone, and saw an unread message from Xing Chen.

"When will you be done, darling? Will you go straight home or to the studio?"

Nan Ke quickly typed a line of words with his fingertips and sent it directly.

"When did you submit your resume? Why didn't you tell me? Didn't you say you would seriously consider continuing your studies? What's going on? What are you thinking?"

Just after sending it, Nan Ke took a deep breath and withdrew it directly.

She was a little angry, but even if it was just words without tone of voice expressing it, you could tell her attitude was bad.

This can't be done.

This matter must be discussed, but not in this way.

Nan Ke forced herself to calm down in the car for five minutes, and then Xing Chen sent a message -

"Baby, what did you withdraw? I wasn't checking my phone just now, so I didn't see it."

"I'll be back in a bit, it's all over here."

"Okay, then you can eat when you get home."

Nan Ke put his cell phone on the seat beside him, took a deep breath, started the car and headed home.

As soon as I got home, I smelled the delicious food.

But Nan Ke couldn't be happy.

Xing Chen came out to greet her, "Baby is back."

Xing Chen keenly noticed that Nan Ke's expression was not right, and immediately asked her with concern: "What's wrong? Is the recording not going well?"

Nan Ke didn't say anything.

Xing Chen hesitated and asked again: "Did you encounter something else?"

Nan Ke looked into Xing Chen's eyes and wanted to ask directly, but she was hesitant at the same time.

I'm still angry now, and if I tell them now, they might start arguing.

Even if Xing Chen didn't argue with her, her words would definitely not be pleasant to the ears.
