I didn't expect it; it was just a gathering of colleagues.
Just around the corner, we saw a large group of people gathered together, pointing and talking about a young couple in the middle.
At first, I didn't take it too seriously, thinking it was probably just a minor argument between a young couple.
However, as I got closer, I noticed that the woman seemed extremely reluctant, and for some reason, I felt like I had seen her before, but I couldn't quite place her.
Just as I was racking my brains trying to recall, my body reacted before my mind could. Almost without thinking, I immediately stepped forward, trying to stop what might be happening in front of me.
As soon as the woman saw me approach, she looked at me with pleading eyes, as if grasping at a straw.
In an instant, I realized that I had encountered human traffickers.
Realizing the urgency of the situation, I acted swiftly without hesitation, subduing those with malicious intentions in an instant and decisively taking them to the local police station.
When I arrived at the station and heard the name, I realized that this was Zhao Ziyi's wife's younger sister.
Looking back, I did meet her once when Zhao Ziyi got married.
After further inquiry, it was discovered that she was actually a popular celebrity.
Unfortunately, its success attracted attention and it was targeted by malicious individuals, almost leading to a major disaster.
Even though he was already in a safe place, he was still shaken, clutching my sleeve tightly with both hands, his eyes filled with fear.
She always remained suspicious and wary of what others said or did, but she only placed her complete trust in me.
Time passed slowly, and after a long while, her tense body gradually relaxed, and her furrowed brows slowly unfurrowed.
When she left, I made a point of giving her my phone number and told her, "If you suddenly remember anything or need any help, feel free to call me anytime."
Unexpectedly, not long after, when I was driving on the road, I found her car parked all alone on the side of the road.
So I got out of the car to check the situation and, based on my experience, helped her repair the vehicle.
She thanked me repeatedly for my help and insisted on treating me to a meal to express her gratitude.
Nevertheless, I didn't pay much attention to her good intentions.
After all, a big star like her must have a tight and busy schedule, so how could she have time to socialize with me?
So I just smiled politely and turned to leave.
To my complete surprise, I received her call on the third day.
Her gentle voice came from beside him: "Do you have time now? I promised to treat you to dinner."
For some reason, at that moment, it felt as if some mysterious force was driving me, making me answer without hesitation, "Yes, there is!"
Then she gave me an address—it was her home.
Since it wasn't convenient for her to go out, we arranged to meet at her house.
I didn't want to go empty-handed, so I bought some fruit downstairs at her house.
When I arrived at her door and gently knocked on the doorbell, the door opened quickly.
She was wearing a simple and comfortable set of loungewear, with a cartoon-patterned apron tied around her waist.
When she saw me arrive, she smiled and gestured for me to come inside, and warmly invited me to sit down and rest.
Out of politeness, I offered to help, but she refused.
Left with no other choice, I obediently sat on the sofa in the living room, but my gaze involuntarily drifted toward the busy figure in the kitchen.
The food she cooked was delicious, and we even drank some red wine.
Her cheeks flushed, and I actually found it quite cute.
Since then, we've been in contact more and more frequently, and she would often share some interesting stories that happened while filming.
I'm very busy every day, and sometimes it takes me several days to reply to her messages, but she doesn't get angry.
Not only that, she also frequently reminded me to eat on time and get some rest early.
When I have free time, I sometimes look at news about her. One day I learned from the news that she already had a boyfriend. An indescribable pain instantly welled up in my heart, as if a heavy boulder was pressing down on my chest, making me feel extremely suffocated and uncomfortable.
It was then that I realized I had unknowingly fallen in love with her.
Later, I began to deliberately avoid contact with her, and I ignored all the messages she sent me.
Over time, perhaps sensing my unusual attitude, she gradually reduced the frequency of sending me messages.
But I always find myself looking back at our old chat logs, reading them word by word, carefully and repeatedly.
About six months later, the human trafficker who tried to abduct her, and the mastermind behind it, were finally caught.
Law enforcement officers notified her to come to the station to assist with the investigation.
When she appeared before me, she was as radiant and dazzling as ever.
Despite repeatedly telling myself to stay calm, I ultimately couldn't resist the urge and asked her about her boyfriend.
Upon hearing this question, she looked surprised, seemingly not understanding why it was being brought up, and said she had no idea when she had a so-called "boyfriend".
After some explanation, I finally understood.
It turns out that it was all just a misunderstanding. The entertainment industry has always been full of all sorts of unfounded rumors.
In reality, they simply belong to the same company and were photographed together by the media while participating in an event, which sparked this unfounded speculation.
She was already used to these kinds of incidents, and they usually didn't need much explanation; they would naturally subside over time.
After learning that she was not in a relationship, I could no longer suppress my feelings and confessed my love to her on the spot without hesitation.
Faced with my frankness and honesty, she smiled and replied softly, "Then we'll see how you do!"
