"I asked my grandfather why he didn't save the person. He replied that the person was already dying and there was no way to save him. I believed him, and the results I found out later seemed to be the same. That's why Mu Shicang has hated me all these years. Sometimes I feel wronged. Although I want to reconcile with him, I can't bring myself to do it."
Yang Shushu thought for a moment and asked, "Then how was Mu Shicang rescued?"
"Oh, my grandfather said he wanted to bring him back, but he ran away." At this point, he hit Yang Shushu on the head with a beer can. "You underestimated your husband's evil spirit when he was a child. When he was pushed out by his parents, he called the police and called Grandpa Mu at the same time. It is said that not long after my grandfather left, the Mu family arrived, and soon after, the police arrived."
"How old was he then?"
"Nine? Less than ten?"
"That's quite a monster." If it were a child from an ordinary family, he would have been scared to death.
"My grandfather told me that my situation was very urgent and the people over there were also dying. He had no choice but to leave first." When he said this, he squeezed the jar again. This time there was still a lot of wine left in it. When he squeezed it, it sprayed out all at once, spilling all over his hands, but he was completely unaware.
Yang Shushu froze on the spot. For a moment, she even wondered whether she should listen to the next words.
"Idol...you've had quite a bit to drink. How about...stop drinking?"
Zuo Jinheng looked up at her and smiled, his brows clear and bright: "Do I look drunk to you?"
“…” You’re not drunk, I’m afraid I’ll hear something I shouldn’t.
But Zuo Jinheng ignored her and continued, "My grandfather passed away several years ago. I thought the grudge between us could be resolved, but he still hated our family. Sometimes I even blame him. It's not that we didn't save him, it's that he was already dying, until today..."
He suddenly threw the wine aside and covered his face with his hands, which were still stained with wine. His voice seemed to be laughing, but also trembling: "I just realized how self-righteous I am, how ridiculous and hateful I am, hehe..."
Yang Shushu held the beer can in both hands, at a loss.
The meaning of Zuo Jinheng's words made her dare not think further, nor did she want to continue listening. However, she was in a difficult situation at the moment and could not turn around and leave. She could only remain silent in helplessness.
Zuo Jinheng picked up another can of wine with trembling hands and tried to pull the ring open, but it wouldn't open. Yang Shushu couldn't stand it anymore and reached out to grab the wine. "You won't get drunk anyway, so don't drink it. It's a waste."
Zuo Jinheng turned to look at her. His face was paler than usual, and there was no sign of drunkenness in his eyes. When Yang Shushu was a child, she had heard people say that people whose faces grew paler as they drank were scheming and difficult to fathom. Although there was no basis for this saying, she inexplicably remembered it. Whenever she saw someone whose face grew paler as they drank, she would instinctively think that person was a bad guy.
In fact, after really getting to know Zuo Jinheng, Yang Shushu did feel that he was different from what he appeared on the screen. He must be a cunning person, but cunning does not mean he is a bad person, and a bad person would not lose his composure like this in front of her, someone he is not familiar with, out of guilt.
"Yeah, why can't I get drunk? Once I'm drunk, I can take advantage of the drunkenness to tell you everything." Zuo Jinheng wiped his face with a smile, and when he looked up again, his smile returned to its former brilliance.
"Shushu, will you become my fan because of what happened with Mu Shicang?"
"What does his business have to do with me?" Yang Shushu felt a little uncomfortable. When he was about to speak, she was afraid of hearing it. Now that he didn't say anything, she felt a little curious.
Zuo Jinheng blinked mischievously: "Did they really have a fight?"
Yang Shushu: "No." As she said that, she picked up a skewer of lamb and pulled it hard to the bottom.
Zuo Jinheng also picked up a string, and then the two of them took turns eating, without drinking, and competed to see who could eat faster. In the end, Yang Shushu, who thought she had practiced eating since childhood, was no match for Zuo Jinheng.
I am very dissatisfied!
"Don't you upper-class people have to pay attention to etiquette? Why do you eat like a pig?"
Zuo Jinheng: “…” This was the first time he had seen someone describe his idol like this. He suspected he had encountered a fake fan.
"Didn't I just eat two extra skewers of yours? Come on, I'll take you to a delicious dessert shop." Maybe he had vented some of his emotions just now, and Zuo Jinheng's mood also improved.
But Yang Shushu refused this time: "No, I'm waiting for my friend to come back here. I'll stay at her place tonight and make it up to her next time."
Zuo Jinheng was stunned for a moment, then sat back down: "Then I'll accompany you. It's dangerous for you to be here alone."
"What's so dangerous about the park being full of people? I think it's dangerous for you here. If someone takes a picture of the movie star strolling in the park, the park gate will be demolished, right?" Yang Shushu stood up and pointed at the aunties who were still dancing in the square outside and said with a smile.
But just as she stood up, her eyes blurred and her body fell forward. Fortunately, Zuo Jinheng reacted quickly and reached out to catch her, and she fell directly into his arms.
"Oh, sorry." Yang Shushu stood up with the help of his arm. She wanted to leave, but he held her down and she couldn't move. She looked up at him in confusion, but saw that he was looking behind her, and his eyes, which were originally smiling, narrowed dangerously.
"Maybe I should say sorry to you first. It seems like... we were photographed just now?" He said it uncertainly, because the other party might have just photographed his back. But in that case, it would not be a big deal. At most, they would write that he had a secret meeting with a mysterious girl or something.
Yang Shushu grinned: "I knew it. Has anyone left now?"
"I don't know whether he left or hid."
"We can't keep going like this." Yang Shushu moved her body. The two of them stayed very close to each other, and from a distance it looked like they were hugging each other.
Zuo Jinheng was about to loosen his grip, but another hand reached out from the place just now. He was startled and suddenly increased his strength. The hand that was originally on her shoulder suddenly clasped her back, and then pressed down, and Yang Shushu fell into his arms.
At the same time, he said, "I'm sorry, please bear with it for a while and don't let the other party see your face."
Yang Shushu felt very uncomfortable, but she didn't move. She just said sullenly, "I told you to wear sunglasses or something."
Zuo Jinheng laughed, "You underestimate the paparazzi's eyesight. They follow me around all day, and they might know my body shape and appearance better than my parents do."
"Oh, that's really dedicated." Yang Shushu snorted indifferently.
The two stood like this for a while. Finally, Zuo Jinheng loosened his hand. Yang Shushu took the opportunity to step back two steps, looked around cautiously, and then said, "You'd better leave quickly. Don't get me into trouble."
Looking at her, Zuo Jinheng, who wished he could get away from her, almost lost his confidence. As a fan, being so close to your idol, so close and so ambiguous, wouldn't it be excessive for you to be a little shy?
