Chapter 192 Meeting at the top
Qin Xi felt that the face and halo that she had worked so hard to maintain had fallen to the ground in front of Gu Chenxing.
"I'm so sorry, I just...fell asleep..."
Gu Chenxing pulled the curtains suddenly, and bright sunlight instantly enveloped the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, dazzled Qin Xi so much that she quickly closed her eyes.
"You called me, hung up without saying anything, and then... you fell asleep, huh..."
Qin Xi didn't need to open her eyes, she could imagine Gu Chenxing's expression from his tone, so she simply didn't open her eyes and shrank back into the sofa.
Gu Chenxing saw Qin Xi curled up into a small ball. She seemed to be much thinner than she was half a year ago. With a snow-white face, she looked younger than himself.
Compared to the previous time when she was filming "It Happened to Be You", when she was energetic and full of vitality with exquisite makeup every day, she is completely different. This is the first time that Gu Chenxing has seen Qin Xi like this.
"How did you get yourself into this state?"
Gu Chenxing's tone couldn't help but soften.
Oh, it seems that he is not here to call for punishment. The first-level alarm was lifted, and Qin Xi opened his eyes instantly.
"I'm just an ordinary person, how can I be glamorous all the time? I look like this when I'm not filming. How is it? The ripples of emotion that I felt at the beginning have completely disappeared, right?"
Anyway, having seen everything that should and shouldn't be seen, Qin Xi felt that it would be better to give up completely than to try to save face forcibly.
"you……?!"
Gu Chenxing simply couldn't believe that this was a top female star, the dream lover of countless boys, saying these words to her former suitor.
How about elegance? How about reserve?
Seeing his expression of disbelief, Qin Xi blinked her charming eyes twice. Qin Xi's eyes were originally big, and now that she has lost weight and her oval face has become a melon seed face, her eyes appear even more distinct.
It is clearly written in his eyes, "I am like this~"
Gu Chenxing and Qin Xi fought hand to hand, and after three seconds of hard control, he was finally defeated. He was helpless and shook his head.
"Qin Xi, I finally get to know you today. I don't submit to anyone else... except you!"
Qin Xi os: That’s right, not only you, but even I admire myself~
That’s not right. I’ve been talking about this and that for so long, it seems like I’ve forgotten something?
Sister Meng's nagging face immediately appeared in front of Qin Xi. Qin Xi was shocked. If he forgot the most important task, wouldn't Sister Meng scold him to death?
This is a godsend opportunity. I can't say it over the phone, but now I am right in front of Gu Chenxing. I should at least give her some face.
"Actually, I called you because I wanted to apologize to you. You saw the trending searches on Weibo, and what they said was really unpleasant. It's all my fault that you got into trouble..."
"The atmosphere in the industry is not good now. Whenever I have a new drama to be aired, there will be some scandalous revelations about me. It's hard to guard against, and I'm used to it. But I don't mean to make you get used to it... I strongly condemn and despise this kind of behavior, and I sincerely apologize to you..."
"Did you find Heizi?"
Without waiting for Qin Xi to finish, Gu Chenxing interrupted leisurely.
"What?"
Qin Xi couldn't believe her ears. Was she really that sick and starting to hear hallucinations?
"I mean, was it you who sent out this black press release?"
It seems that I am not hallucinating.
"How is that possible? Am I crazy?"
Gu Chenxing smiled, "Then it's over. It wasn't you who did it, so why are you apologizing? I want to settle the score, so I have to find the mastermind. You're the main victim, so why should I take it out on you?"
“What is the primary victim?”
"Isn't this simple? You are a top star, and I am an ordinary person. How can the influence of public opinion on you and me be compared? After all, who knows who I am? If I am only slightly injured, then you are already disabled~"
Qin Xi: “…”
Gu Chenxing walked over, sat next to Qin Xi, and looked at her intently.
"They've come to your door? Aren't you going to fight back? Do you know who did it?"
Qin Xi sneered, "Of course I know. They are all thousand-year-old foxes. How can I not recognize someone playing Liao Zhai?"
Qin Xi reacted quickly and turned to look at Gu Chenxing, "You're not going to take action, are you?"
"What else? Still keep it for the New Year?"
Although Qin Xi believed in Gu Chenxing's hidden strength, but...
"After all, this is a personal grudge against me, so let me handle it. Wait a little longer, and I will settle all the old and new scores with them."
Gu Chenxing was puzzled, "Then how long do we have to wait?"
He cannot tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes and always believes in quick decisions.
Qin Xi smiled slyly, "You haven't read the martial arts novels, the one who strikes first will definitely lose, what I have to do is wait for the right opportunity and then strike back!"
Gu Chenxing was skeptical, "This isn't the Jianghu, this is the entertainment industry, will this trick work?"
"Whether it works or not, you'll know when you see it. Eh? That's not right..."
Qin Xi stared at Gu Chenxing with a pair of dark eyes, looking at him with amusement.
"Why are you so interested in the entertainment industry all of a sudden? I remember someone once saying that they filmed "It Happened to Be You" just for me, and that they were just doing it for fun, and that they had no intention of pursuing a career as an actor..."
"If it's just for fun, why would you care so much about someone slandering you? Could it be that our young master has changed his mind?"
Qin Xi saw Gu Chenxing's face turning red and white, like a rabbit whose tail was stepped on, and he was speechless for a long time.
Seeing Gu Chenxing like this, Qin Xi couldn't help but burst out laughing. It had been a long time since he had seen such a funny thing.
After Gu Chenxing calmed down, he looked at Qin Xi's lively expression and a smile flashed in his eyes.
It is true that it is difficult to change one's nature, and Qin Xi still likes to tease him.
Is she so happy to make him lose face?
But since he entered the door, he was keenly aware of Qin Xi's depression. At first, he was worried that something might happen if she didn't answer the phone, so he rushed to her house regardless of anything. He was relieved the moment she opened the door.
But soon my heart was lifted up again.
This was the first time Qin Xi smiled during their meeting. Gu Chenxing shook his head. If it really made her happy, it would be okay to make fun of him.
But he can't show weakness, right?
Gu Chenxing sighed softly, "So you remember everything I said so clearly..."
Qin Xi: “…”
This time it was Qin Xi's turn to suffer.
"But you obviously misunderstood what I meant. At that time, I was saying that I still needed to think carefully about whether or not to enter the entertainment industry. But now, I have thought it through. I like this profession and the sense of accomplishment that completing a role brings me. So, I decided to go ahead. I really want to see what heights I can reach with my hard work."
Gu Chenxing's eyes were full of bright stars. I am also looking forward to the day when I can meet you at the top and stand side by side with you...
