Chapter 23 Now we are pretending to be girlfriends
The restaurant that Ji Qingshu agreed to stay at was very nice. It looked magnificent from the outside, and there were many guests in suits and long skirts coming and going.
This shows that the store’s business is booming.
"Come in, I've booked a private room."
Chu Xueyi unbuckled her seat belt by herself. She really missed the days when she was not a big star.
It feels quite pretentious to think like this suddenly.
But if you are not a big star, you don’t need to wear a mask and sunglasses when going out. To protect your privacy, you have to guard against paparazzi just like you guard against thieves.
The driver in a black suit opened the car door, and Chu Xueyi got out naturally. She only realized it when her feet touched the ground.
I didn't seem to be civilized or polite enough to say thank you to the driver.
After all, Chu Xueyi was used to being a high-ranking celebrity in her previous life, so it was difficult for her to pay attention to the assistants and drivers around her.
Chu Xueyi had only taken a few steps when she felt something was wrong, as if someone was staring at her.
She didn't have time to look back to see if Ji Qingshu got off the car.
A group of people rushed over from the side.
"Xueyi, I like you."
The person who came was a boy, holding a bunch of red roses in his hand. Chu Xueyi was startled and took a few steps back.
"Xue Yi... I know you're unhappy these days because Su Shiyu dumped you. It's okay... Please consider me."
Another girl also chased after them. Chu Xueyi felt that this group of people were like a bunch of zombies, and she was a poor guy who was being chased and blocked.
"What are you doing?"
Chu Xueyi didn't know what to say.
These people's faces were very unfamiliar to him, but from the school uniforms they wore, he could tell at a glance that they were students of Qingcheng Drama Academy.
"Confession."
The people were getting closer and closer, and Chu Xueyi was about to fall onto the road.
"I…I don't accept it."
Such an absurd and outrageous thing had never happened in her previous life. Chu Xueyi didn't know what to do for a moment.
It's not like she hasn't been chased by fans who have evolved into zombies. Her running speed is so fast that she'd be considered an elite monster in the game.
But this is the first time I've been treated like this before I became a big star.
Ji Qingshu had just gotten off the car when she saw this scene, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
But then I comforted myself in my heart that it was only 4,000 yuan, and I couldn't find any top actors. Although these people's acting was a bit exaggerated, it was barely acceptable.
"Walk."
"They must have known your itinerary and were waiting here specifically for this."
After Ji Qingshu said this, she grabbed Chu Xueyi's arm and pulled her towards the hotel. She moved very quickly.
Although those pursuers came with great momentum, they became like deflated balls as time went on.
That’s right... These people may not really like me, maybe they just think I’m pretty, but why are they all gathered together this time?
No... something is wrong...
But Chu Xueyi couldn't say what it was exactly.
Her mind followed Ji Qingshu and they fled into the hotel together. Finally, the group of people did not catch up with them. Chu Xueyi supported her knees with her hands and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But this is not a good strategy in the long run.
After Chu Xueyi went into the box with the other person, she remembered the funny misunderstanding they had recently had. Instead of denying it, it would be better to just acknowledge the ambiguous relationship.
So after Ji Qingshu ordered the dishes and pushed the menu to Chu Xueyi, Chu Xueyi looked up at Ji Qingshu, as if she was brewing something in her mind.
"I've thought about it for a long time, and I still feel that there have been too many things happening recently. If being with you, Qingshu, can help me avoid these troubles, then it's not impossible..."
People always have to choose what is best for themselves, which may be maximizing benefits.
Chu Xueyi's fingers were tightly gripping the menu, causing wrinkles to form on it.
In the end, she failed to fulfill the ambition she had made when she was reborn.
You agreed not to get involved in love anymore, so why do you fall into another pit?
And I do it willingly.
Ji Qingshu saw that people were wavering, but she was not as happy as she expected.
All of this was carefully planned by him from beginning to end, including paying someone to pursue Chu Xueyi relentlessly.
But why, when the goal was finally achieved, there was a faint feeling of discomfort in his heart, because... Ji Qingshu couldn't deceive himself.
Chu Xueyi had no feelings for her, but just wanted to use her to solve her problems. This was what she least wanted, but it was also the only solution she could use.
But this uncomfortable feeling only accumulated in his chest for a short while before it was swallowed up by Ji Qingshu's greedy heart.
As long as I get the person, it doesn't matter what despicable means I use, as long as the person leans towards me.
It's better than watching Chu Xueyi approach Su Shiyu, which would make her heart feel like it was being tortured to death.
Many people have probably experienced the feeling of having their favorite toys taken away by others, but for someone with a strong possessiveness like Ji Qingshu.
The feeling is a thousand times more intense.
"So, happy cooperation?"
Ji Qingshu stretched out her hand tentatively. Her fingers were slender and she was wearing a black watch on her wrist. The dial was inlaid with gems, like the rotation of the sun, moon and stars.
"Well, it's a pleasure to work with you."
Chu Xueyi stretched out her hand and shook hands with the other person.
…
At some point, Chu Xueyi gradually let down her guard towards the person in front of her, although she did not drink any alcohol while eating.
But I just felt like I was drunk.
My heart seems to be light, as if I am walking on clouds.
Even when she was going back, Chu Xueyi felt a gentle breeze on her face, as if she would never see those annoying suitors and Su Shiyu again.
Why do you hate Su Shiyu so much?
Maybe it’s because I’ve loved with true feelings before.
People will always be impressed by the first person they like, but Chu Xueyi would want to die if the person she likes is a central air conditioner.
As for Ji Qingshu, he is a completely different type.
She is cold and indifferent to the outside world, but completely different to herself. This gentleness can be felt from the details in her daily life.
Just like the meal just now.
Chu Xueyi basically eats the dishes she likes, which won’t make her fat, and there is no chili pepper and very little garlic flavor.
But those were not all ordered by her. Many of them were what Ji Qingshu specifically reminded the waiter to pay attention to.
But...if Ji Qingshu continues to treat her like this, Chu Xueyi is afraid that she will fall in love with him without any bottom line.
But people...
Always dishonest.
When your brain begins to realize that you have a little affection for someone, in fact... your psychological defenses have begun to collapse completely.
As the saying goes, a thousand-mile dam can be breached by a single ant.
Any heartbeat, any liking, starts from a small thing.
This is something that Chu Xueyi cannot notice, and it is also something that no one else can notice. This is the most basic condition for love to take root and sprout.
Ji Qingshu and his men arrived at the parking lot, and the driver was about to get out of the car and open the door.
Ji Qingshu took the lead in opening the car door, with one hand on top of the door.
This action was because he was afraid that Chu Xueyi would hit her head.
In the past, the little assistant who followed Chu Xueyi would often do this gesture, which made people feel much more approachable.
After everyone got in the car, Ji Qingshu opened the window a little to allow people to breathe.
"Drive slowly, we're a little full."
Ji Qingshu instructed the driver, everything was too considerate.
If they were not both girls, Chu Xueyi would have suspected that she was pregnant with Ji Qingshu's child.
Such all-round care without any blind spots, it’s really thoughtful!
