Chi Ze walked out of the darkness, wearing a black windbreaker, looking cold and arrogant, his slender figure blending into the darkness. It was not until he came in front of Xie Shizhu that his expressionless features showed some movement.
"I'm sorry about what happened last time," Chi Ze has been immersed in deep self-blame for a while now. He has not been getting enough sleep and there are obvious dark circles under his eyes.
Xie Shizhu pulled a smile from the corner of his mouth, "It's okay, I don't care anymore."
She looked so calm and composed, as if she had completely forgotten what happened between them a few years ago.
Chi Ze breathed in and out of the air, his heart aching and uncomfortable, and his voice gradually became hoarse: "Okay, are you going to work? I'll take you there."
Xie Shizhu hurriedly shook his head, resisting with all his body, "No need."
"On the way," Chi Ze made up a lie, "My friend is waiting for me there."
Xie Shizhu lowered his head, pondered for a while, and finally nodded.
Seeing her walking to the side of the road, Chi Ze followed her closely and opened the passenger door for Xie Shizhu first. Xie Shizhu looked up at him, walked around Chi Ze, walked to the back door, opened the door herself, bent down and sat in.
Chi Ze clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and closed the car door.
In the car.
When Chi Ze was driving, he played Xie Shizhu's song. He took the initiative to break the quiet atmosphere and said, "It sounds good."
Xie Shizhu said politely, "Thank you."
Chi Ze's hands on the steering wheel froze. He could already recite the lyrics by heart. Whether at work or at home, he would always put on headphones and listen to Xie Shizhu's voice.
The woman's ethereal and pleasant voice seemed to be whispering in his ear.
The company's employees almost thought he was crazy. He wore headphones, sometimes with a smile on his face, and sometimes with an irritated look on his face.
Arriving at the destination, Xie Shizhu couldn't wait to push open the car door, whispered "thank you", and hurriedly ran inside.
Chi Ze stroked the steering wheel with his fingertips, his phoenix eyes following the woman's figure, and he was reluctant to look away until she disappeared.
He slowly closed his eyes and called a few friends to cover up his lie.
When they heard that Chi Ze had taken the initiative to invite them, they were all flattered and rushed to the destination eagerly.

Xie Shizhu prepared for a while before going on stage to sing. She was dressed up this time, wearing a long dress she bought in a luxury store yesterday. She smiled sweetly as the guests below called out to her and stood on the stage.
Somewhere on the second floor, Chi Ze took the wine handed to him by his friend and stared at the woman on the stage with burning eyes.
The friend spoke to him but received no response.
Several people looked surprised and wanted to see what made Chi Ze so fascinated.
They followed Chi Ze's gaze.
It took them a long time to confirm that the woman standing in front of the microphone pole was the ugly duckling among their high school classmates.
I haven't seen him for a few years, and he looks and has a completely different temperament.
In the past, Xie Shizhu always lowered his head in inferiority, could never straighten his back, and hid when he saw people.
But now, the woman was wearing a black halter dress, with slender arms, long, smooth black hair draped over her shoulders, and clean facial features full of confidence and determination.
A rich second-generation asked in surprise: "Is this Xie Shizhu?"
“It seems so.”
Their conversation gave Chi Ze the time to glance at a few people, his narrow eyes filled with dissatisfaction.
Several people looked at each other, as if mentioning Xie Shizhu was like stepping on Chi Ze's ribs.
"This song looks so familiar..." the rich second generation said in surprise, "Why is it so similar to the recent popular song? And her voice is somewhat similar to the original singer. I remember seeing the original singer on TV just now. She was quite beautiful, but not as good as Xie Shizhu."
"Then Xie Shizhu is a good option. Maybe he can take advantage of Wu Meng's popularity and become an internet celebrity..."
Before he could finish his words, Chi Ze glanced at them with a cold gaze, his eyes flashing with sinister intent, "What did you say?"
Several people were stunned.
Chi Ze asked again: "What original singer?"
"The singer of the song that's been going viral recently made an appearance on the show."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Ze's face became even gloomier, and the air around him also became more depressed along with his mood.
The rich second generation quickly shut his mouth, not knowing what he had said wrong.
Chi Ze suddenly stood up from the sofa, picked up the windbreaker placed aside, quickly put it on and walked out. The voice of his friend calling him from behind did not stop him.

At the same time, Jiang Yuhuai also knew about this.
He frowned and stared at the woman in the video. She was obviously not Xie Shizhu, but she claimed to be the singer of this song.
The woman took off her mask and her beautiful face shocked the audience and earned praise from the instructor.
She is beautiful and has a sweet voice.
The video showing the singer's face has received over 20 million hits on the website and has become a real hit.
Jiang Yuhuai checked Wu Meng's information. The encyclopedia mentioned her company, which was the same company as Xie Shizhu. Moreover, her information showed that she was the singer of "The End of Fate".
Wu Meng?
If he remembered correctly, Wu Meng was Wu Xuan's cousin.
Jiang Yuhuai frowned and closed his notebook.
The next day.
A guest recorded a video of Xie Shizhu on stage. The song she sang was exactly the same as Wu Meng's, and she sounded very much like the original singer.
The customer posted the video online, and unexpectedly, it became popular overnight.
Some people compared her with the original singer, and they were exactly the same, as if she was just lip-syncing to the original singer.
Many people questioned that this was a hype by a certain company that wanted to take advantage of Wu Meng's popularity.
Amidst netizens' doubts, Wu Meng personally stepped out to comment on the video: Not a bad cover.
This indirectly confirmed that this was just a cover, and it also made Wu Meng be labeled as honest and kind.
Because of her comment, the cover singer was spared from criticism from netizens.
Shu Lan couldn't stop smiling in the company, praising Wu Meng's high emotional intelligence, and also gained a large number of fans.
But her happiness did not last long.
The company's boss personally invited her to the office. Shulan thought it was a bonus for her, but when she entered, she saw the boss respectfully pouring tea for a man, who hardly even looked at her.
The man cast his gloomy gaze across her face.
Shu Lan's whole body froze, and a chill ran down her back.
Is this the famous Chi Ze?
Chi Ze said, "You asked Wu Meng to take someone else's honor?"
Shu Lan quickly shook her head and said stubbornly, "This was originally sung by Wu Meng. There is no such thing as a replacement."
Chi Ze sneered and looked down at her condescendingly: "Do you know the consequences of lying to me?"
Shu Lan held on tightly and refused to let go. Even under Chi Ze's cold gaze, she still refused to admit it.
Anyway, the woman didn't dare to show up, so as long as she grasped this point, no one could do anything to her.
After a stalemate of half an hour, Shulan dared to breathe a sigh of relief only after the boss personally sent Chi Ze away.
