Chapter 89
"Xin Qing is a superstar now. People like us don't even bother to come to parties anymore; we have to beg her three or four times."
The man glanced at Xin Qing from head to toe. Suddenly, he grinned crookedly and placed a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor) in front of her.
"Your complexion is truly radiant; you look much prettier than when you first debuted. Come on, shall we have a drink?"
As soon as the man finished speaking, the dining table fell silent.
Everyone present turned to look.
—Is this person alright?
—How dare he persuade Xin Qing to drink?
Xin Qing smiled gently, her eyes crinkling, yet she pushed the wine glass back without the slightest fear.
"I don't drink alcohol, it hurts my voice, sorry."
"You! How dare you be so disrespectful?!"
Seeing that the man was about to make things difficult for Xin Qing, the person next to him quickly pulled him back and whispered a reminder: "Hey, are you alright? She's from the MZ Group! The head of the Chu family hates drinking culture the most!"
The man asked in confusion, "Isn't she a singer? What does she have to do with MZ? And what does she have to do with that eldest daughter of the Chu family?"
The person next to him said irritably, "Don't you ever read the news? Xin Qing's entertainment company is under MZ, and they're all managed by him!"
The man stared at Xin Qing suspiciously.
It took me a while to slowly process all this information.
When he looked at Xin Qing again, his eyes were much clearer and cleaner, and he spoke much more politely.
"Since Miss Xin can't drink alcohol, how about some juice? Haha."
"What do you usually like to do, Miss Xin? Are you releasing a new song anytime soon?"
"I really love Ms. Xin's songs, and Mr. Chu is a role model worthy of our generation. We're all friends, so how about we exchange contact information?"
Xin Qing smiled and said, "Thank you. I'll have my assistant bring the phone over in a bit."
-
The dinner was halfway through.
Chu Muchao found the occasion rather boring, so he and Xiao He went to a quiet courtyard to get some fresh air.
Xiao He said, "President Chu, I heard that Xin Qing won two awards tonight!"
"Wow, that's great!"
Chu Muchao knew that Xin Qing would definitely be part of the awards ceremony tonight, but he didn't expect her to win two awards.
Just as I was about to take out my phone to send Xin Qing a congratulatory message, I received a message from her.
I got it again! (heart)(heart)(heart)
The photo below shows Xin Qing holding a trophy in each hand and taking a selfie in front of a mirror, her smile bright and sweet.
Chu Muchao turned the screen around to show Xiao He the photos on his phone.
"She texted me."
"She truly deserves it!" Xiao He praised sincerely. "Luckily, we didn't give up on her back then, and she didn't give up on herself either, she persevered! Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to hear so many great songs! That's wonderful!"
Chu Muchao smiled and replied to Xin Qing's message, saying, "Yes."
Chao: Congratulations. (Heart)
Five years later, Xin Qing has transformed from an unknown singer who was almost suppressed and unable to recover into a well-known original singer in the industry.
She can write lyrics and compose music, sing, has good character and high emotional intelligence, and is also very prolific.
In five years, he topped numerous charts, and his works have spread across various industries nationwide.
Her voice can be heard in TV dramas, movies, public service announcements, tourism promotions, games, and more.
Chu Muchao was genuinely happy for her.
I'm even more grateful for the decision I made back then, and for taking that step with Xin Qing to ask her for help.
Xin Qing deserves everything she has now.
A cool breeze was blowing at night.
In the quiet courtyard, only the rustling of leaves could be heard.
She vaguely saw a figure in the woods, quietly watching her.
After being busy for a while, she suddenly realized that she hadn't heard the system's voice for a long time.
【^-^ I'm here, Miss Mu Mu.】
Chu Muchao: Is that you looking at me over there?
【^-^ Yes, are you coming over?】
She later earned many more points, which she used to redeem big and small wish cards.
But the system hasn't been used since, and these wish cards have been sitting in the warehouse for a long time.
She checked the warehouse and found that the number of the universal wish cards had indeed decreased by one.
"Mr. Chu, what's wrong?" Xiao He asked worriedly. "Are you feeling unwell? I'll call the driver to come over."
"Okay, I'll go for a walk. You go in first."
As Chu Muchao spoke, he walked towards the woods.
The banquet hall's back garden was quite large; beyond an irregularly shaped pond lay the grove of trees.
Chu Muchao walked over, and the figure under the tree became clearer and clearer.
Her grayish-purple hair shimmered with a pearly sheen in the moonlight.
It's like... a semi-transparent color.
Chu Muchao already had a premonition.
"Miss Mu Mu, you're still so smart."
The man before me had gentle, curved eyebrows and a tender smile.
“You have become a leader who can stand on your own, and you no longer need me. I have completed the task perfectly.”
Chu Muchao raised the corners of her lips, her tone deliberately relaxed, and extended her hand to him: "Really? Thank you for your help and companionship over these six years."
He raised his hand and gently grasped Chu Muchao's hand: "It's been a pleasant collaboration between us."
Chu Muchao: "What if I need you again later..."
He interrupted with a laugh: "You won't need me anymore. Now, whatever happens, you can handle it quickly and perfectly. You no longer need the help of magic."
Chu Muchao lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on their touching fingertips.
So, will you erase my memories of you?
Her voice trembled slightly.
“We’ve known each other for so long, your magic might not work on me. Didn’t you say that people with strong willpower… or those with deep obsessions, might find their spells ineffective?”
"Therefore, I will use all my magic and your points to erase the traces of my presence."
That's so cruel.
That heartless, stinking system.
But he doesn't belong to this world after all.
Magical cheats don't belong to this world either.
He will always have to leave.
Chu Mu stepped forward and gently hugged the man in front of him, who was almost translucent in the moonlight.
"Okay, goodbye. Maybe you'll find I need you someday and come back. Or maybe you'll meet someone who needs you more and help them. Either way, thank you for being there for me."
The man lowered his head and hugged her tightly.
"goodbye."
That gentle voice was clearly choked with sobs and hoarse.
She felt herself being enveloped by something warm and gentle.
This must be his magic.
She should faint right now.
Based on the experience of erasing Chu Wen's memories, she should have fallen into a deep sleep.
She let her body slowly sink.
The other person dragged her body and gently placed her on the ground.
But soon, he picked her up again and rushed to another place.
The cool wind whistled past my ears.
She must have been put in the car.
I caught a familiar scent of herbs and trees.
I could vaguely feel the warm breeze caressing my cheeks.
May your future be bright and dazzling, and may you become the person you want to be.
"Never again."
-
Half an hour later.
Xiao He got into the car.
He answered Chu Wen's call from the side.
"Yes, Mr. Chu had a little to drink and is sleeping now. Okay..."
Xiao He looked at Chu Muchao and saw her slowly opening her eyes. She quickly said, "Ah, President Chu is awake now. Okay, just a moment."
As she spoke, Xiao He handed over the phone and whispered, "President Chu, it's Mr. Chu on the phone."
"Um."
Chu Muchao took the phone, and Chu Wen's deep, magnetic voice came through her ear, softly calling her, "Chaochao."
Chu Muchao hummed softly and stretched.
"Yes, I'm awake."
Chu Wen asked, "Why did you drink? Didn't you promise me you wouldn't touch alcohol in situations like this?"
Chu Muchao laughed and said, "I'm just happy, so I only had a little. Xin Qing won two awards, isn't that amazing!"
Hearing her energetic voice, Chu Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hmm, impressive. My Chaochao is impressive too."
Chu Muchao asked, "Where are you now? Should I go home tonight, or come to your place?"
Chu Wen: "I'm on my way home."
"Okay, see you later."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Muchao handed it back.
"Let's open the windows, it's so stuffy."
"OK."
The driver rolled down the car window.
Chu Muchao was facing out the window.
The driver wasn't driving fast, and she could clearly see the scenery along the way and the people passing by.
While waiting for the traffic light at the intersection, a man with gray-purple hair stood on the sidewalk, looking in our direction.
Their eyes met for two seconds before Chu Muchao looked away.
Just like this road.
She has to keep going; she hasn't reached the end yet.
But he couldn't continue following along.
Let's just say his magic succeeded.
Until we meet again.
