"good…"
After hanging up the phone, Hu Shih clicked his tongue.
Pei Zhi's composure made him appear flustered and foolish.
Isn't Pei Zhi a little too calm?
They were, after all, ex-lovers, and there were two of them at that.
Wouldn't Pei Zhi panic if she met two at once?
As expected of Pei Zhi, she's two-timing others.
Pei Zhi is juggling three relationships, two of which are with her colleagues.
After telling Pei Zhi the whole story, Hu Shi was no longer flustered.
It doesn't matter. With Sister Pei around, whatever happens is a minor incident.
When Hu Shi returned to the recording studio, he found that Chi Xiuwen and Lu Mingxu were still there.
After greeting the two men, Hu Shih began his work.
Hu Shi didn't say anything, and Lu Mingxu couldn't very well ask in front of Chi Xiuwen.
Lu Mingxu knew that Pei Zhi had returned and that Hu Shi was still there.
He stayed by Hu Shi's side, and today, no matter what, he will be able to see Pei Zhi.
Chi Xiuwen could sense that there was something fishy going on between Hu Shi and Lu Mingxu.
Chi Xiuwen stayed for half an hour, and Hu Shi finished his work in the recording studio.
Lu Mingxu was standing to the side, holding his phone and constantly making voice calls, all about work.
Chi Xiuwen's phone kept vibrating; there were still things at the company waiting for him to go back and handle.
Chi Xiuwen gestured to Hu Shi to indicate that he was leaving.
Hu Shih nodded, wearing headphones, to indicate that he had heard.
When Lu Mingxu saw that Chi Xiuwen had really left, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
If Chi Xiuwen knew what he had missed, he would probably regret it.
Chi Xiuwen took the elevator, intending to go down to the basement level and drive away.
"The coffee in the coffee shop downstairs is really good."
"Not only is the coffee good, but the cakes are delicious too. I've gained three pounds in less than a week since the store opened."
Chi Xiuwen felt drowsy as he listened to the two female staff members whispering in the elevator.
They arrived at the first floor, and Chi Xiuwen followed him out of the elevator, intending to buy a cup of coffee to perk himself up.
Just as Chi Xiuwen pushed open the door and came in, Pei Zhi looked up and saw him.
Pei Zhi remained silent, simply watching Chi Xiuwen quietly.
Chi Xiuwen pushed open the door and walked in, originally intending to order food at the front desk.
Chi Xiuwen suddenly realized something and looked towards the window.
Pei Zhi never expected that she would make eye contact with Chi Xiuwen.
Pei Zhi remained completely calm, smiled at Chi Xiuwen, and waved her hand.
Chi Xiuwen stood there, stunned, looking at Pei Zhi who was smiling.
Chi Xiuwen dared not move, fearing that it was all a dream.
The sunlight streaming through the window shone on the table, bathing Pei Zhi in its glow, making her look almost unreal.
This must be his dream, otherwise, how could someone remain unchanged for ten years?
"Excuse me, could you please move aside?"
Chi Xiuwen stood at the entrance, blocking the door and preventing people from leaving.
Chi Xiuwen snapped out of his daze and said, "I'm sorry."
Chi Xiuwen moved a few feet to the side, but his eyes remained fixed on Pei Zhi.
The clerk called out, "Hello sir, what would you like to drink?"
Chi Xiuwen pointed to the spot by the window and asked, "Excuse me, can you see a girl sitting by the window?"
The shop assistant looked in the direction Chi Xiuwen was pointing and said, "I see it."
Chi Xiuwen still couldn't believe it. "She was wearing a yellow casual jacket, wasn't she?"
Although the shop assistant was a little confused, she patiently answered his questions, prioritizing the customer's needs.
"Yes, she was wearing a beige coat and had her hair in a ponytail. She looked very pretty and even ordered our shop's signature macchiato cake."
Chi Xiuwen's stupidity was too obvious, and Pei Zhi couldn't sit still any longer.
Pei Zhi got up and walked over from the window. "Hello, a latte without ice, please."
Pei Zhi paid the bill, then looked at Chi Xiuwen and said, "I think you would be willing to sit down and have a cup of coffee with me?"
Chi Xiuwen was led by Pei Zhi and sat down opposite her.
Chi Xiuwen stared intently at Pei Zhi, scrutinizing her closely, afraid of missing even the slightest hint of her emotions.
"What, haven't seen you for years? Don't you recognize me?"
Chi Xiuwen shook his head. "You're still the same."
Chi Xiuwen said sincerely, "There's been no change at all."
"Really?" Pei Zhi touched her face. "It seems I've taken pretty good care of myself these past few years."
"Lu Mingxu came to see you today, didn't he?"
Pei Zhi nodded readily, "Yes."
Chi Xiuwen asked, "So, you still chose him in the end?"
"What do you mean, he was chosen?"
Pei Zhi scoffed, "Why would I choose him?"
"It's just that he knows I'm back and wants to see me."
Chi Xiuwen seemed to understand something. "Now that you're back, will you leave again?"
Pei Zhi shrugged. "Not necessarily."
Pei Zhi doesn't currently have any particular place she wants to go.
Hu Shi provided room and board, and even paid her a salary, so Pei Zhi was happy to be a lazy bum.
However, Pei Zhi didn't know how long this salted fish could last.
If she gets annoyed, won't she just leave?
"Where have you been all these years? How come we haven't heard a thing from you?"
They really disappeared completely, without a trace.
"I?"
"He just traveled around the world, but didn't go to very developed countries, so it's normal that we haven't heard from him."
Chi Xiuwen could tell that Pei Zhi didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't press her for details.
Where do you live now?
Pei Zhi explained the current situation.
"I remember you used to have good acting skills. My company is recruiting acting instructors. Would you like to come over?"
"Your compensation will be no worse than what you're currently receiving; we'll provide you with room and board."
Pei Zhi shook her head without even thinking; she could shamelessly take advantage of Hu Shi.
She and Hu Shi were friends, so it's alright for her to take advantage of her friend. At worst, she can just give it back to Hu Shi when she becomes successful.
But Pei Zhi wasn't shameless enough to take advantage of her ex; that would be an insult to her morality.
“I’m doing fine now. Besides, I’ve been out of the industry for ten years, so the old ways don’t apply anymore.”
Pei Zhi knew perfectly well what Chi Xiuwen meant.
It's not true that he wants her to be a teacher; Chi Xiuwen just wants her to work at his company.
Chi Xiuwen was not disappointed; being able to see Pei Zhi today was already a great surprise.
"Would you like to leave me your contact information?"
Pei Zhi couldn't refuse this request.
We exchanged contact information, and just then, the coffee was served.
Chi Xiuwen's phone kept vibrating, and annoyed, he secretly turned it off under the table.
"I moved behind the scenes, and the company signed a lot of artists."
"The company also produces its own TV series and movies."
Pei Zhi nodded: "It's fine."
"Are you married?" Pei Zhi asked, then immediately regretted it.
Judging from Chi Xiuwen's longing look, it's obvious that he's not married.
Chi Xiuwen's expression was somewhat stiff, and he helplessly mocked himself: "No, I have no father or mother, I'm an orphan, no one would want me."
