It's 4:30 in the afternoon.
It was dark in Gu Qingchi's bedroom.
The curtains were drawn and the lights were off. A thick, soft, furry carpet was laid in front of the bed. Apart from a standing lamp and a wardrobe, there was nothing else in the bedroom, so it seemed a little empty.
The bed was very big, it was built into the house, one of those European-style beds with pillars around it and dark red bed curtains hanging from it, half covering it.
A slender calf was exposed from inside, lying at an angle. The light was too dim and only the outline of a person could be seen. The quilt was placed casually on the bed, and he was lying there, leaning against the quilt.
The little tabby cat called a few times under the bed, and when there was no response, it jumped onto the bed. It only dared to stand on the edge of the bed, holding Gu Qingchi's calves with its two front paws, and meowing.
It didn't stop until Gu Qingchi moved, with a gurgling sound in its throat. After Gu Qingchi stopped moving, it continued to bark until Gu Qingchi had to get up.
Gu Qingchi sat up and sat on the edge of the bed. He pulled open the bed curtains and stepped barefoot on the ground.
"What do you want?"
There was a hint of fatigue between Gu Qingchi's brows. He looked at the little tabby girl sitting next to him, who was looking up at him obediently.
"You have food, water, and lots of toys. You should be very happy. If you are not satisfied, aren't you a little too greedy? No one is responsible for you. You need to take care of yourself."
The little tabby cat sat obediently, dragged a carrot toy under his feet, tilted his head, and meowed happily.
Gu Qingchi pursed his lips and spoke softly after a long time.
"I'm sorry, I should be responsible for you."
He covered his eyes and his voice became much hoarse.
"I'm sorry, your master is terrible."
In the end, he was clearly talking about himself.
Gu Qingchi woke up at nine o'clock this morning. After getting up and washing up, he added cat food to Xiaolihua and went to drink water several times.
Although he didn't do anything, Gu Qingchi felt so tired and uncomfortable staying awake, so he lay in bed for a long time.
There was no light on in the room, and the two-story villa seemed a little empty at this moment.
Gu Qingchi never eats breakfast.
Lunch and dinner were ordered from a restaurant on a long-term basis and were delivered on time every day. Today's lunch had already been delivered to the guard post at the door, but Gu Qingchi hadn't picked it up yet.
Dinner should be delivered soon.
Although his stomach was already beginning to ache from hunger, Gu Qingchi only felt annoyed and inexplicably afraid of receiving a call. He even wondered if he should have not ordered food.
This can't go on, Gu Qingchi thought, he should be happy.
Alcohol can make him happy and make him feel dizzy and floating in the clouds.
But Gu Qingchi had just moved into a new house and had nothing at home. There was only a box of juice that Ye Li had sent him in the wine cabinet.
Let’s go out and buy it. Thinking of this, Gu Qingchi was already getting excited.
This is indeed correct.
When Xie Luyu entered the company, many people turned their heads and looked at him quietly.
After all, what he did a few days ago caused a sensation on the entire Internet, and everyone who followed the whole process was curious about the relationship between Xie Luyu and Gu Qingchi.
Especially since they are Star Glory staff, they have more sources of information than ordinary people and know more.
It was once rumored in the company that Xie Luyu and Gu Qingchi had a special relationship. They were very close and Xie Luyu drove to pick him up several times. At that time, there were rumors in the company that Gu Qingchi had hooked up with Xie Luyu.
After Xie Luyu walked over, a discussion immediately broke out.
"Actor Xie looks a bit haggard. It seems that he is still affected. I am his fan. His eyes used to be full of spirit. Now, the rich and beautiful woman in the world has become a melancholy guest in the world."
"Why did you suddenly come to the company?"
"I don't know. Let's ask Brother Cheng who's upstairs. Come on, ask in the group."
An intern felt confused and waited until Xie Luyu walked over before he curiously asked his senior.
"Sister Lisa, is Xie Luyu really married? I'm really shocked. The circle is too complicated. I'm afraid only professionals like you know the answer."
The intern continued in a low voice.
"Also, is he too impulsive? Will he be blacklisted by the company if he reveals the truth just because he was provoked?"
Lisa rolled her eyes and coughed. In fact, she and her sisters had been gossiping like crazy these days.
After asking around, she finally came to the conclusion that no one in the company knew that Xie Luyu had ever been married, but she naturally couldn't show her weakness in front of her juniors.
“Don’t listen to what the marketing accounts say. Actor Xie is the star of Star Glory and a shareholder of Star Glory. If you round it up, he owns half of Star Glory. Only someone crazy would hide him.”
After fooling the intern, Lisa turned around and opened the gossip group set up within the company.
[Here we go, the senior agent is here, most likely he is looking for Brother Cheng.]
[Are there any sisters in the parking lot? Is Gu in his car? ]
[There are no sisters, but there are brothers. They haven’t been together for a long time. 】
[Are they a couple? I'm so anxious. 】
[We are all family, don't act like outsiders. We all know that the couple who were picked up and dropped off by cars during that period were a couple, right?]
[Whether they are a couple or not, I think they are separated now. ]
[Let's discuss rationally. Even if they were together before, they would have to break up sooner or later. One is a movie emperor and the other is a newcomer. Even if the newcomer has a strong momentum, it is still unequal. Considering so many resources, I don't believe that there is no work of Xie the movie emperor.]
[I also think that the reason why Actor Xie is helping out now is probably because of their past friendship. Actor Xie has always been very tough, but his ability is there, and he still receives a lot of scripts. Anyway, this matter will not cause any serious damage to Actor Xie, but it is a disaster for Gu. ]
[On the top of the building, after this incident, I feel like I can't take care of her anymore. It's a pity for such a beautiful woman. Tsk tsk tsk, she became famous too quickly. There are pros and cons. I didn't quite understand why Ye Li treated her fans coldly before. Now I see that she is indeed worthy of being Ye Li. It's a pity that it's useless. ]
The group was quiet for a while until a message suddenly came out.
[Do you know? Actor Xie just entered Ye Li's office. ]
Everyone knows that Ye Li only has Gu Qingchi under his command.
Xie Luyu sat opposite Ye Li. Normally, he was arrogant and at ease wherever he went, as if he was the master of his own territory. But at this moment, he looked a little anxious and uneasy.
Ye Li raised his eyebrows. He was not stupid. Xie Luyu had come to Gu Qingchi's rescue time and again. Anyone with a discerning eye could see something was going on.
He just turned a blind eye to it before.
Although he and Gu Qingchi had agreed at the beginning that it would be better not to have a romantic relationship, Ye Li felt that he could still rest assured if the object was Xie Luyu.
In various aspects, Xie Luyu is a good candidate.
They are from the same company, and Xie Luyu and Ye Li know each other quite well.
Xie Luyu had a distant relationship with his parents, so he no longer had such concerns after getting married.
She doesn't have an affair in private, she has sufficient financial resources, and she is in the same industry as Gu Qingchi. After they are together, she can help Gu Qingchi's career, and at worst, it can help him hone his acting skills.
The only shortcoming is his personality. Xie Luyu has been floating in the clouds for too long and is full of pride. I wonder if he can humble himself.
Of course, Ye Li now has reservations about him.
After all, Xie Luyu was recently revealed to have been secretly married and divorced.
Xie Luyu did look more haggard than usual. He was quite straightforward and a little hesitant when he spoke.
"Can I ask where Xiao Gu lives now?"
"His original residence is now empty. A new batch of trainees moved in a few days ago."
Xie Luyu was mumbling and seemed a little uneasy. He was completely different from the Xie Luyu who was full of energy and carefree in the past.
Ye Li is quite official, even if he knows that Xie Luyu and Gu Qingchi had something in the past, or even maybe they still have something now.
"This is the artist's privacy, I cannot disclose it."
Xie Luyu was silent for a while, and when he spoke again it was almost begging.
"I'm sorry, I know my request is a bit excessive. I'm a little worried about him. I'm afraid something might happen to him."
Ye Li relented at this time.
"If you insist, I'll have to ask the artist for his opinion first."
Xie Luyu let out a long sigh.
"He doesn't want to see me. We had a big fight a few days ago."
Xie Luyu didn't say much, just stopped at the point, and his attitude was quite sincere.
"I've done a lot of things wrong. I know you told him not to date, and I was the one who wanted to date first. Or you don't have to tell me, can you notify his family and ask them to go check on him?"
Ye Li looked up at Xie Luyu.
"When I signed the contract with him, he didn't fill in the emergency contact person."
"He had no family, no friends."
When Gu Qingchi went out, he looked back and saw Little Lihua squatting in the living room, looking at him quietly.
"Are you scared when you're home alone?"
Of course.
Gu Qingchi felt scared staying alone in such a big house, and he naturally thought that Xiao Lihua felt the same way. He didn't want Xiao Lihua to experience the pain he had suffered.
The little tabby girl just squatted there without moving.
Gu Qingchi stretched out his hand to it, and it ran towards Gu Qingchi happily. Gu Qingchi held it in his arms and poked out its little head.
It was windy outside and Gu Qingchi's windbreaker was blown up by the wind.
The little tabby cat held in his arms also shrank its head and narrowed its eyes.
Gu Qingchi was not wearing much, just a sweater, trousers, and a windbreaker. The buttons of the windbreaker were not buttoned, and the wind penetrated through his clothes, making him look very cold.
His face was pale due to the wind, and his hair was blown back, revealing his smooth forehead. Habit made Gu Qingchi always keep his back straight and not shiver.
Xie Luyu's car was parked in the distance. He sat in the car, just parked there for the whole afternoon. Until now, he didn't dare to get in. He didn't know how to face Gu Qingchi. He thought a lot, and in the end, the only thing in his mind was the video circulating on the Internet, in which Gu Qingchi casually said that he was not happy during the interview.
Such a casual remark hit Xie Luyu's heart hard, making him hesitate and become timid.
