Chapter 81
Roses bloom and fall. Six years is a long time, enough time for things and people to change. Is that young love slowly deepening or gradually deteriorating? Jiang Qiao has been deliberately avoiding thinking about this question.
She and Lu Xun seemed to be stuck in a stalemate, and neither of them dared to break the apparent calm.
Wang Jie was drinking with someone at the bar when he saw Lu Xun's message. He looked very surprised.
Gu Xing on the opposite side patted his face, and he came back to his senses.
"What's wrong?" Gu Xing poured another glass of red wine and drank half of it in one gulp: "Which little lover sent you a message? You were so surprised that you almost lost your soul..."
Gu Xing had a round face, and he raised his eyebrows when he said this, looking like he was watching him having fun.
My little lover, this is a killer weapon that can explode at any time.
Wang Jie's mouth twitched, and his tone was wooden: "You are looking for your brother."
The goblet broke into pieces with a loud bang.
Gu Xing: “……………………”
At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the streets were still brightly lit, with many people coming and going, and many stalls selling flowers on the street.
A black Maybach sped past.
The car was unusually quiet. Gu Xing, sitting in the passenger seat, looked cautiously at Lu Xun in the back seat.
Lu Xun smelled heavily of alcohol, but he looked sober. Where did he drink? Gu Xing felt strange.
But he suppressed his curiosity.
It's nothing, mainly because Lu Xun looks too scary now.
The low pressure all over his body, the moment he sat there, gave off an aura of "keep away from strangers".
Gu Xing swallowed nervously.
The car was driving aimlessly on the road, circling around and around, but Gu Xing couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to go for a drink?"
Lu Xun closed his eyes, and slowly opened them upon hearing what was said. At that moment, Gu Xing saw the gloomy and cold look in his eyes.
After a moment, Lu Xun pinched his brows and regained his usual calmness: "Let's go back to the villa."
This answer was within Wang Jie's expectations. When the car drove to the villa, Lu Xun gave Wang Jie several plans that he had read and asked him to distribute them tomorrow.
Seeing the two still standing there, Lu Xun frowned: "Want to live here?"
Wang Jie, Gu Xing: “……………………”
What we really need is a driver.
"Don't you want us to stay with you?" Wang Jie raised his eyebrows.
Gu Xing immediately patted his chest, expressing that he was very willing and would do his best to do it.
Lu Xun said indifferently: "I won't disturb you."
You have disturbed me, Wang Jie said silently in his heart.
He now strongly suspected that Lu Xun did it on purpose. He couldn't have a good holiday himself, but he had to drag others into it. He would feel uncomfortable if he didn't make things difficult for him.
In the end, the two of them left, still driving away in Lu Xun's car.
After resting for a few days, Jiang Qiao received an interview invitation from a variety show. She agreed without much hesitation.
In the past few days, she has been staying in Lu Xun's villa. At first, she was worried about what to do when she saw Lu Xun. Should she explain that she didn't mean that that night?
However, Lu Xun did not come back once in the following week. Those who didn't know would think that he had moved somewhere else.
Auntie explained considerately: "Mr. Lu's company has been very busy recently."
No matter how busy you are, you have to go home and sleep. This excuse is too crude. Jiang Qiao feels that Lu Xun is deliberately avoiding her.
It was Lu Xun who first proposed the three-day appointment. It wasn't like she had to live in Lu Xun's villa. Why did she act like she was occupying his house?
If you don't want to see her, you can just say it directly, why do this?
Jiang Qiao felt a little aggrieved and couldn't even enjoy his meal.
She suddenly thought of the meals from the restaurant that Jolie always bought for her during filming. The steamed eggs in the restaurant were especially delicious, soft and springy, not fishy at all, and had a light aroma of sesame oil.
As she thought about it, Jiang Qiao became greedy. She looked at her aunt eagerly and asked, "Aunt, can you make steamed eggs?"
"Steamed egg?" The aunt was a little surprised, but she still replied, "Yes, Miss Jiang likes it. I'll make it for you."
Jiang Qiao's eyes lit up, and he was about to thank Auntie
Auntie remembered something again, and her tone was filled with laughter: "By the way, Mr. Lu also likes to eat steamed eggs. I often saw Mr. Lu cooking some time ago, and he cooked better than me..."
Lu Xun cooks often?
Jiang Qiao was a little surprised. Lu Xun was now the president of a large company and was extremely busy all day, yet he still had the leisure to cook.
Seeing her stunned, the aunt continued, in order to speak well of her boss and establish the image of a good man, "Mr. Lu is not only good at making steamed eggs, but also at making all kinds of other dishes, such as porridge. He always makes several dishes, and he has to go back to work after finishing them."
Auntie's face was full of pride.
Jiang Qiao was stunned.
Julie's vague words, the unique lunch box, and different meals every night...
Like a stone falling into a lake, making a dull sound, Jiang Qiao finally glimpsed some truth.
She rolled her dry throat and said, "Auntie... could you please speak more carefully..."
"ah?"
"………Lu Xun, what dishes did he make?"
"Oh, I don't remember it very clearly. I only remember a few..."
The aunt described the dishes she had seen one by one, and the girl was already stunned.
"Ms. Jiang...what's wrong with you?"
There was a long, long silence.
After a while, Jiang Qiao slowly shook his head: "It's okay..."
Her heart seemed to be pinched by a huge hand. Jiang Qiao felt it was difficult to breathe. She closed her eyes and suppressed the bitterness in her eyes.
Jiang Qiao felt that she kind of hated Lu Xun...
The self-righteous Lu Xun.
Being indifferent to her, but secretly knowing all her traces...
Love it or not, this thing is so pretentious, Jiang Qiao thought, this must be a human virus, the kind that is contagious.

Post-variety show interviews are more relaxed than other interviews. They mainly focus on a certain issue and allow the artist to express his or her thoughts or answer questions from netizens.
Reporter: "Qiao Qiao, the first love you played was very emotional. Some netizens asked if you have ever been in love, and whether you felt it was unforgettable?"
The entertainment industry is always very secretive about the topic of love, especially for artists who are just starting their acting careers.
The agent at the back waved his hand, indicating that he could just make up a few random answers.
The camera was pointed at the girl's pretty face, clearly capturing her long eyelashes drooping down.
"We talked about it." Jiang Qiao said.
The reporter's eyes lit up, and he asked directly and bluntly: "Is it your first love? Why did you break up? Do you still like her now?"
It’s first love, the only first love in two lives.
Why break up?
Because this was her first love, she made the most rational choice.
Do you still like it now?
Jiang Qiao slowly raised her eyes and looked towards the camera, and seemed to be looking further through the camera. Her voice was a little soft: "I like it."
