After the performance, Hu Shi offered to take Pei Zhi back to her hotel.
Hu Shi was worried about Pei Zhi's safety, but Pei Zhi refused to listen.
Pei Zhi drove herself and left the film crew.
After driving for half an hour, we arrived at a secluded riverside.
Here, Pei Zhi saw Lu Mingxu sitting by the river.
Pei Zhi was not surprised at all that Lu Mingxu would be here.
This is what made Lu Mingxu fall for her.
Lu Mingxu entered the entertainment industry at a young age and has seen a lot of sycophancy; such people are hard to get close to.
Back then, Pei Zhi brought Lu Mingxu to the riverbank and showed him a fireworks display.
That day was Lu Mingxu's birthday, and he started working early in the morning, recording various thank-you videos.
It was supposed to be his birthday, but he was the most tired one.
Pei Zhi's opportunistic tactics managed to win over Lu Mingxu.
Lu Mingxu saw Pei Zhi, but made no move.
Are you cold?
Pei Zhi gently stroked Lu Mingxu's hand; sure enough, it was icy cold.
I wonder how long Lu Mingxu has been standing here in the wind.
Lu Mingxu was somewhat surprised. He thought that when Pei Zhi came down, she would definitely question him and scold him.
Unexpectedly, Pei Zhi's first words were to express her concern for him.
Why do you care about me? You should hate me right now, shouldn't you?
She hates that he made it public on Weibo; Chi Xiuwen must have broken up with her, right?
"Why should I hate you? I'm the one who did wrong. Whatever you do is justified."
Pei Zhi meant what she said.
She toyed with people's feelings, and she should bear the consequences no matter what the other party does.
"Let's talk in the car, I'm a little cold."
Lu Mingxu had been sitting for too long, and his limbs were so cold that they were stiff.
Pei Zhi helped Lu Mingxu back to the car, opened a bottle of water, and handed him the lunchbox she had bought.
It's obvious that Lu Mingxu hadn't eaten.
Strangely enough, Lu Mingxu almost hated Pei Zhi to death.
But when Pei Zhi came to see him and bought him food, Lu Mingxu felt much better instantly.
At least, Pei Zhi will still come looking for him.
At least, Pei Zhi still remembers their past.
Probably only Pei Zhi in the whole world knew that he was here.
Pei Zhi watched quietly as Lu Mingxu finished eating before speaking, "What do you want to ask?"
Lu Mingxu shook his head. "I don't want to know anything. I just want to spend some quiet time with you right now."
Lu Mingxu didn't want to know how Pei Zhi and Chi Xiuwen were doing now.
He didn't even want to know if there was a huge uproar online.
Lu Mingxu didn't sleep a wink last night. Now that he's eaten and drunk his fill, Pei Zhi is by his side again.
Lu Mingxu didn't want to ask anything and wanted to enjoy this moment of peace.
Pei Zhi sighed and did not refuse Lu Mingxu's request.
Lu Mingxu put his arm around Pei Zhi and held her in his arms.
Pei Zhi gently patted Lu Mingxu's back, seemingly to comfort him.
"How is he better than me?"
Even though Pei Zhi was the one who did something wrong, Lu Mingxu was caught in his own self-pity.
Is it because Chi Xiuwen is better than him that Pei Zhi got together with Chi Xiuwen?
No, you're fine.
Lu Mingxu didn't understand, "Then why are you still with him?"
If he's such a good person, why would Pei Zhi cheat on him?
Pei Zhi thought for a while before answering, "Bewitched."
Lu Mingxu pressed further: "And what about me? Was I also bewitched back then?"
Pei Zhi hesitated, wondering how she should answer.
"We've come this far, stop lying to me."
After a long pause, Pei Zhi finally replied, "I entered the entertainment industry for you."
Lu Mingxu's tone was agitated, "So, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have entered the entertainment industry?"
"right."
Pei Zhi's initial goal was to complete the wish-granter's mission, get close to Lu Mingxu, and become the female lead in Lu Mingxu's drama.
Without Lu Mingxu, Pei Zhi would never have entered the entertainment industry.
"In other words, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have met Chi Xiuwen?"
"That seems to be the case."
Lu Mingxu looked excited. "So, I'm still more important, right?"
Pei Zhi understood the meaning behind Lu Mingxu's words.
Lu Mingxu was comforting himself, telling himself that he was more important than Chi Xiuwen.
Things had already progressed to this point, and Pei Zhi had no intention of hiding it any longer.
"Lu Mingxu, have you ever wondered why I was able to work with you as soon as I entered the entertainment industry?"
Lu Mingxu is a top star in the entertainment industry, while Pei Zhi doesn't have a single representative work.
She started working with Lu Mingxu right after her debut, and many people dug up Pei Zhi's background and connections.
Lu Mingxu suddenly had a bad feeling. "I'm not full yet. Shall we go get something else to eat? Barbecue? Hot pot? Or seafood?"
I was married before I met you.
Lu Mingxu immediately fell silent.
Lu Mingxu was somewhat bewildered: "What?"
Pei Zhi's voice was cold and clear. "I said, I was married before I met you."
The car was dark, and Pei Zhi couldn't see Lu Mingxu's face, but she knew that Lu Mingxu must be very sad.
Pei Zhi pursed her lips; she really was a scoundrel.
They toyed with Lu Mingxu's young heart.
Pei Zhi flinched as a cold liquid hit the back of her hand, then realized that it must be Lu Mingxu's tears.
Pei Zhi was prepared for Lu Mingxu to make a scene, or even hit her.
Lu Mingxu has a childlike personality; he throws a tantrum whenever he's unhappy.
