Only Luo Xi and Yin Xiamo were left in the living room.
Quiet air.
Inexplicably.
There is a touch of nervousness and shyness.
"Are you okay?" Luo Xi stared at her, breaking the uneasy atmosphere, "The people from Leo Company didn't embarrass you, did they?"
"No." She shook her head.
He thought for a moment and smiled: "I was worrying too much. With him here, who can bully you?" He smiled very easily, but there seemed to be a flash of loneliness and loss in his eyes.
Yin Xiamo stared at him: "Why are you helping me again?" She pursed her lips, struggling hard in her heart, and finally said cruel words against her original intention, "Are you - doing me a favor? Do you want me to be grateful to you?... I told you that I am cold-blooded. Don't get close to me, don't help me. People like me will hurt you one day... Have you forgotten..."
Luo Xi was briefly absent-minded, with a hint of hurt and helplessness in his eyes, "What? Do you think I'm meddling in other people's business?" Gradually, annoyance appeared in his tone, "I understand. With him here, my presence is totally unnecessary, right?!"
The black cat was frightened and moved restlessly on his lap. Luo Xi took a deep breath and said nothing more. He lowered his head and touched its black fur with his slightly stiff fingers. Slowly, his fingers became soft and he gently stroked the black cat, which meowed lazily and comfortably.
After a long while, he said in a low voice:
"I thought you gave it away."
She looked at the cat. During the most difficult time, she had thought about giving it away or throwing it away. Even she and Xiao Cheng couldn't take care of themselves, so how could they take care of the cat? But, for some reason, she kept it.
"Just think of it as Niu Niu's." Luo Xi's eyebrows were filled with a gentle expression. "If you don't want to feel that you owe me, then think of it as my reward for you continuing to take Niu Niu in."
"… "
Why did she act cold and distant, hurting him again and again, but he didn't care? She could like him, date him, and even kiss him, but she couldn't stand him planting roots in her heart like a seed. More and more favors, more and more gratitude, she was afraid that one day, she would become dependent on him, and her happiness and hell would be in his hands.
The black cat fell asleep quietly on his lap.
He looked up at her, his eyes as black as glass:
"Ling Hao's refusal to cooperate with you may not be targeting you, so you don't have to be too sad. The entertainment industry is a very realistic place. When you are a newcomer and you haven't proven your ability, you will be looked down upon and may suffer all kinds of insults. Every newcomer will go through this process. All you can do is to persevere. When you become famous, your success itself will be like a slap in the face of those who have humiliated you."
Yin Xiamo unconsciously clenched her hands, her body trembling slightly. Did he come here to comfort her, afraid that she would be sad? What did she do? ! Did she deliberately hurt him because she was afraid that she would be hurt? She closed her eyes.
"Tomorrow's advertising shoot is very important," Luo Xi took out the advertising copy and placed it on the coffee table. "I copied a copy for you. There are some of my comments on it. You can take a look at it when you have time. But..."
She still didn't react.
He said expressionlessly:
"It has nothing to do with you. I just hope the shoot goes well tomorrow."
After that, he moved the black cat to the sofa and stood up. The whole action was very quiet, and he didn't even look at her again. However, Yin Xiamo noticed that his cherry-like lips were pursed in anger, revealing a kind of bitterness, like a child who was wronged but was stubborn and refused to speak out.
Her heart suddenly ached!
"etc."
The pain in her heart made Yin Xiamo call him.
Luo Xi seemed not to hear, and stood up and walked towards the door without even glancing at her. Yin Cheng vaguely heard some noises, came out of the kitchen, and was stunned when he saw Luo Xi was leaving.
"Wait a minute..."
Yin Xiamo held his hand, raised her face, bit her lips tightly, and for the first time allowed herself to show a pleading expression in front of him. Well, she admitted defeat, and didn't want to struggle and resist anymore, and didn't want to hurt him and herself like a hedgehog. She, lost to him.
Her hands are cold.
His hands were cold too.
Quietly.
She held him tightly.
His fingers trembled, and he turned slowly and looked down at her.
She smiled at him.
There was a hint of begging for forgiveness in the smile.
"Xiao Cheng, bring some beer."
She said softly to Yin Cheng who was standing at the kitchen door. After a while, Yin Cheng brought over two cans of beer. She let go of Luo Xi and hooked her finger around the beer pull ring. "Pop", some foam came out, she tilted her head back and drank the beer in one breath.
"sister… "
Yin Cheng said anxiously. He knew that his sister couldn't drink much, and she would have stomachache every time she drank late at night.
She opened another can.
He tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.
"Bring some more."
Yin Xiamo said to Yin Cheng calmly. Yin Cheng looked at his sister's expression, hesitated for a moment, and had to take two more cans from the refrigerator, this time taking the brand with the lowest alcohol concentration.
"what you do?!"
Luo Xi held her hand in astonishment to stop her from drinking any more. She smiled faintly, tried to break free from his hand, and whispered, "Let me treat those words that hurt you as wine and drink them all, okay?"
If she couldn't bear to hurt him anymore; if she would feel double the pain every time she hurt him, then that was it. She couldn't predict what would happen in the future. Maybe her heart would bleed, maybe it was a mistake, or even a hell that would destroy her.
But from this moment on.
She would never hurt him again unless he betrayed her.
Yin Cheng walked silently into the kitchen again, leaving the living room space to them again.
The alcohol made Yin Xiamo's eyes more charming. Her cheeks were lightly flushed. She looked at Luo Xi: "Forgive me, okay?" Her voice was soft, like a sigh.
Luo Xi didn't say anything.
He stared at her, his eyes moist and misty, and after a while, he whispered:
"Is it really that difficult? To like me, to like me without being wary or defensive, is it really that difficult? Is it true that people like you and me, who have been hurt and abandoned by the world, can never trust and accept love?"
"… "
Her pupils were as blurry as amber glass.
"... I also want happiness... I want to be able to rely on someone completely... I want to love and be loved without reservation... But... I'm afraid... Luo Xi, do you understand... I'm afraid... There is nothing in this world that is completely trustworthy except yourself... When you start to rely on someone, you lose the ability to stand on your own legs, and when the person you rely on leaves, you will fall to the ground..."
"I see."
Luo Xi took a deep breath. How could he not understand? That's why he would rather pretend to be excellent and gentle, but refuse anyone to approach him. He squatted down, gently touched her cheek with his slender fingers, and held her face:
"But let's try it once."
"… Why?"
"Because I like you." There was a hint of bitterness in his beautiful smile. "Maybe you don't believe it, but I like you. During the five years since I left, I have never forgotten you. You are like a poppy. You will hurt me, sting me, and even kill me, but I can't leave you. The pain of being away from you is even more unbearable than being hurt by you."
It's the same feeling...
Yin Xiamo thought blankly, he was the opium poppy. She knew it was dangerous, but she couldn't stay away from him. Instead, she was tempted by him again and again, as if she was in a whirlpool, and was pulled towards him involuntarily.
He kissed her softly on the lips.
She was slightly stunned.
Look at him quietly.
He was so beautiful that he seemed to be non-existent, with star-like mist in his eyes and cool lips. He kissed her gently, tenderly and lingeringly, from her lips, penetrating into her blood and veins, and imprinting on her heart bit by bit.
Let out a low sigh.
Hugging his back quietly, she kissed him back, gently and tenderly, kissing his slightly cold lips, as if she wanted to warm him with her own cold self.
The night seeps through the curtains.
The herbal tea has cooled down.
In the kitchen, Yin Cheng looked at the soup simmering slowly on the gas stove. The soup was thick, fragrant, and rolling with tiny bubbles. He could no longer hear the noise from the living room. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled again. As long as she felt happy, it was fine.
******
The seaside in the early morning.
The golden sunlight shines on the blue sea, the sparkling waves are so bright that they are dazzling, waves after waves, and the delicate golden beach. The blue sky, the vast sea, the little mermaid swims happily in the sea, she has long hair like seaweed, beautiful eyes like sea water, and a golden and graceful fish tail.
Golden sunlight on the sea.
The figure of the Little Mermaid is picturesque and dreamy.
The sun shines on the sea.
The little mermaid's smile is happy and beautiful.
"OK!"
Director Chen shouted into the loudspeaker with satisfaction, and waved his hand, and all the lighting and camera crews stopped working. In the sea, Yin Xiamo slowly swam back to the shore. As soon as she got ashore, Zhen En, who was waiting there, immediately covered her with a large bath towel. In the autumn morning, the cool sea breeze blew in her face. Although she was wearing a bath towel, Yin Xiamo, who was naked, still shivered heavily.
Ou Chen, who was far away, saw it.
He was standing far away on the beach, his back against the sports car, a crystal wine glass in his hand. His figure looked somewhat lonely, the transparent brandy in the glass exuding a faint smell, and the green lace tied around his right wrist was blown up by the sea breeze.
Simon stood behind Ou Chen.
He has been following the young master for three years since he graduated from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. In his impression, the young master is cold, rational, and serious. When the board of directors announced that the young master would take charge of the Ou Group, there were many objections within the group, and people believed that such a young person could not lead the operation of a large group. However, the young master did not refute these objections. He first took over a subsidiary that was not operating well, made it profitable within half a year, and put it on the road of healthy development. Then, the young master took over each company one by one. He was not in a hurry and did a good job in each one he took over. Gradually, the voices of opposition within the group became smaller and smaller.
The young master always had an indifferent expression and dark eyes. He originally thought that the young master's life was only about work, and that the young master did not like women.
Until the girl named Yin Xiamo appeared.
The advertisement of Leo Company was just a small matter, and the young master didn't need to intervene at all. Moreover, if the young master intervened, it would make the company employees feel that the public and private affairs were not distinguished. The young master must have understood this, but for the sake of that girl, he didn't care. He designated her as a candidate for advertising endorsement, went to find her when she was late for the audition, carried her out of the company's elevator, sent her to the hospital for treatment, and even, for her, participated in the specific shooting of the advertisement.
At this moment, although the young master's expression was cold, his eyes almost never left the girl named Yin Xiamo in the distance.
A luxurious yacht is quietly parked on the sea, and some of the following scenes will be filmed there. It is called "Blue Bubble", which is Ou Chen's private yacht. This time it sailed out of the bay for the Leo advertisement.
On deck.
The makeup artist blew Yin Xiamo's hair dry and put it into curlers. She had changed out of her fishtail outfit and put on a bubble princess dress as blue as the ocean. She had put on delicate makeup on her face, and she looked pure and beautiful like a lily.
Zhen En was stunned by the sight. Xia Mo was so beautiful, as beautiful as the fresh sea breeze, as beautiful as the golden sunlight on the sea. She had always known that Xia Mo was beautiful, but she had never thought that after being carefully dressed up, Xia Mo could be so beautiful.
"Are you tired?"
Yin Xiamo carefully poured a bowl of soup from the thermos and handed it to Zhenen. Zhenen had been running around since early morning, taking care of various chores.
"Not tired, not tired," Zhen En said excitedly, feeling as if she had endless energy. After drinking the soup, she exclaimed, "Wow, this is Xiao Cheng's soup, right? It tastes so fresh and delicious, so delicious!"
Yes.
She got up at four in the morning, but Xiao Cheng had already started to cook soup in the kitchen. He was cooking chicken soup, which seemed to have been cooking for a long time, and the air was filled with a light and attractive aroma. He smiled and said to her, don't worry, he removed the fat from the chicken soup, it only has nutrition and will not make you fat.
"Xia Mo, you are so happy," Zhen En drank the last drop of soup reluctantly, "You have a caring brother like Xiao Cheng, and Luo Xi and the young master are always helping you. You must be the luckiest person in the world."
Yin Xiamo was stunned.
Suddenly she felt that she was very lucky during this period. Although there were many small setbacks, she was able to turn danger into safety and turn disaster into blessing. It was so smooth that it was unbelievable. After thinking about it, she smiled bitterly. Past experience told her that God would not always favor only one person. No matter how lucky she was, she would definitely suffer in the future. All she could do was to seize the lucky opportunity and use it to strive to reach the highest possible peak.
so-
Never miss any opportunity!
Zhen En stared at Xia Mo blankly, not understanding why a confused, lost, and sad expression suddenly flashed across her face. Finally, she regained her determination and indifference, turning back into the familiar Xia Mo. However, at that moment, the sad and lost Xia Mo looked so strange.
"Xia Mo..."
She asked hesitantly if Xia Mo had something sad that she had not told her.
At this time, there was a commotion on the yacht deck, and everyone looked to the east where the sound came from. The makeup artist put the powder puff on Yin Xiamo's face, Zhen En opened her mouth wide, and Yin Xiamo was stunned for a moment before guessing that it might be Luo Xi who came.
really-
In the fresh sea breeze, Luo Xi walked onto the deck. He was wearing a white shirt in a classical nostalgic style with layers of gorgeous white lace on his chest and cuffs. He was extremely handsome. He slightly undid a pearl button on his chest. His skin, as delicate as porcelain, revealed infinite sexy reverie in the sunlight, which made people intoxicated and dazzled.
Yin Xiamo stared at him from afar.
After last night, she found it increasingly difficult to resist him, as if his charm was constantly growing, becoming stronger every few days.
Luo Xi's eyes also found her.
The moment he found her, his eyes suddenly lit up, and this light made Yin Xiamo's heart suddenly beat quietly. Silently, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, and across the long distance on the deck, like the glass-like sunlight, his smile was so clearly reflected in her eyes. She also smiled, and the smile warmed him and herself.
Golden sunshine.
The blue sea.
In the crowd, he and she gazed at each other from afar, smiling quietly and gently, as if each other's eyes were the only things left in the world. Even though they were separated by distance, they were together.
Deck railing.
The beautiful and intricate green lace fluttered violently in the sea breeze. Ou Chen looked at the two people gazing at each other tenderly, and at the warm and gentle smile on the corner of her lips. His body tensed up and he closed his eyes in pain.
It's time to let her go...
Since her life five years ago had nothing to do with her...
And she also has a loved one...
The rest of the shoot went surprisingly smoothly.
Generally speaking, newcomers will be a little nervous when they are filming for the first time, but Yin Xiamo just said "ng" a few times at the beginning and quickly got into the mood. Director Chen was a little surprised and asked the staff around him, is this girl really a newcomer? Before the filming, the girl looked calm, without any extra expression, and even so quiet that she seemed to be non-existent. But once the filming started, she changed immediately, the emotions in her eyes were as deep as the sea, either innocent or sad or happy or lonely, every inch of her expression was vivid, as if it was not the story in front of the camera, but her real pain and happiness.
Several hot spotlights shone directly on her and his faces.
The little mermaid was shy and wanted to speak, but she lost her voice in her throat. She felt a little lost and anxious. The prince stared at her in confusion, slowly lowered his head and kissed her. She opened her eyes wide in surprise. The spotlight was strong, the camera was close, he kissed her lips, kissed her softly and carefully, her body trembled slightly, and her lips trembled gently.
The sea breeze blows gently.
He looked at her lovingly, her eyes were filled with stars like the sea, they embraced and kissed, as if they would kiss forever and ever, he hugged her tightly, she stood on tiptoes and hugged the back of his neck.
Just kissing like that.
It seems like a love that can never be separated from generation to generation.
The strong spotlight, the sparkling golden sunlight, he and she were like the most beautiful fairy tale, kissing each other deeply, so beautiful and dreamy that it took everyone's breath away.
Ou Chen's shadow was reflected coldly and stiffly on the deck.
This was just a scene, he had told himself repeatedly before coming here, and had anticipated that such a scene might happen. He also ordered himself not to think about her anymore, to treat her as a stranger, a stranger with no ties in his life.
However-
The moment Luo Xi kissed her, he felt as if he was torn apart and thrown into endless darkness. There was a dazzling flash of sunlight in front of his eyes, a bone-chilling cold, and almost suffocating pain. He seemed to see her that day again.
… …
…
The sunset glow gradually disappeared into the sky outside the window, dusk fell, and she gently lowered her dark eyelashes, only her lips remained slightly pale.
"I don't know you."
The voice was very light, floating in the quiet ward like the smoke of the past.
…
… …
She didn't recognize him.
Five years ago, she didn't recognize him and had nothing to do with his life. So, five years later, she could also walk past him with a strange look on her face, and he didn't even have the right to hold her
Ou Chen gripped the railing in pain.
But…
wrong…
He always felt like something was wrong...
… …
…
"Who are you?"
…
Yin Xiamo's body seemed to be hit hard by something! She turned back to look at him suddenly, her eyes full of surprise, and her eyes quickly scanned his face in surprise, with shock that was difficult to conceal. Then, she narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she suspected that she had heard it wrong.
…
"Yes, Master, you know that Xia Mo is never the kind of person who would be late," Zhen En was so anxious that he turned around...
…
… …
Why-
He should know that Yin Xiamo is "never" the kind of person who would be late.
Ou Chen's eyes darkened.
Did he misunderstand, or was someone deliberately hiding something
"OK!"
Director Chen shouted, and the people around who were immersed in the atmosphere just woke up as if from a dream. The aura emanating from Luo Xi and Yin Xiamo was so romantic and affectionate, lingering, that people were intoxicated by it unconsciously, and even forgot that it was just a recording.
Zhen En shook her head, waking up from her trance, and squeezed next to the director, watching the replay on the camera and asked nervously: "Director, what do you think?"
Director Chen looked at the two people's performance in the camera with satisfaction and said:
"Her name is Yin Xiamo?"
"Yes."
“She will definitely be famous.”
******
Zhen En also thought that Xia Mo should be popular, the advertisement was so beautiful and romantic, and Luo Xi was so popular. However, the sensation and craze caused by the Leo advertisement was far beyond her imagination. Xia Mo became a household name overnight. She was pure and beautiful in the advertisement, and she was affectionate and sad. She was loved by the audience since the first day of the advertisement.
All the viewers were waiting in front of the TV because of Luo Xi, excitedly waiting for this short advertisement, but they were surprised to find that under Luo Xi's brilliant and breathtaking demeanor, the girl who worked with him was not reduced to a foil. She was fresh and beautiful like a lily, and when Luo Xi kissed her, her trembling body and tiptoeing conveyed every inch of her happiness and sadness through the screen.
Advertisements are broadcast intensively and frequently on various channels.
Yin Xiamo's smile and tears were remembered by countless audiences.
Huge posters are posted in shopping malls and on busy roadsides.
The blue sea, the golden sunshine, the handsome and sexy Luo Xi who looks like a fairytale prince, his cherry-like lips kissing her, her blushing face, her long seaweed-like hair, her golden fishtail, the picture is incredibly beautiful. All the people passing by the huge poster will look up at the kissing him and her in the picture, and be fascinated and unable to leave for a long time.
In the craze caused by the Leo advertisement, the incident in which Luo Xi rushed to the Rainbow Plaza to save Yin Xiamo was once again brought up by the media, and various speculations were rampant. Some media claimed that Yin Xiamo was Luo Xi's secret lover, and in order to let her debut, Luo Xi offered to star in the advertisement in exchange for Leo Company to give up Shen Qiang and Yao Shuer and choose the unknown Yin Xiamo; another media claimed that Shen Qiang was hospitalized due to emotional trauma, and her friends called Luo Xi several times, but Luo Xi refused to come to visit her...
The scandal was widely hyped.
Looking around, almost all entertainment programs, magazines, and newspapers have news about Yin Xiamo, some positive and some negative. However, no matter what the comments are, it is a fact that her current popularity exceeds that of all newcomers.
Sun Company took this opportunity to launch Yin Xiamo's first solo album -
"Bubble Mermaid".
The title song of this album, "Foam Mermaid", was originally used as background music in a Leo advertisement. As the advertisement became popular, the melody and lyrics also became popular. This time, her voice was re-recorded, and it was clear and beautiful, mixed with a strange low and hoarse voice, which moved people. The music video of this single selected some classic and beautiful scenes from the advertisement, and Luo Xi, once again "friendship" played the male lead in the music video, which attracted countless fans to scream excitedly.
The album won rave reviews as soon as it was released, and "Bubble Mermaid" ranked among the top five in all major music charts.
Yin Xiamo began to appear in various entertainment programs and interviews. Her beauty and calmness left a very good impression on many viewers. Her popularity ranking on the Internet continued to soar. The fan club formed for her was officially established and is growing like a snowball.
“Success is so easy.”
Zhen En closed her phone in a daze. She had just received a call from the organizing committee of the annual Gold Awards ceremony, formally inviting Xia Mo to attend. Xia Mo was nominated as one of the five candidates for the Newcomer of the Year Award, and Pan Nan was also on the list of candidates.
"This is just the beginning, it can't be called a success."
Yin Xiamo was looking at the night scene passing by outside the car window. She had just returned from a recording session for a variety show. Several big-name stars had their own stage, while she and two newcomers who had just debuted shared a stage. The host spent almost all of his time chatting and laughing with the big-name stars. She and the two newcomers didn't have a chance to talk for more than five minutes in total.
One day, she will reach the position she wants. In this world, many things are not as difficult as imagined.
Back home, the living room was quiet. Yin Cheng was painting. His paintings were very popular in the gallery. The gallery owner recently ordered ten more paintings from him. Luo Xi also came. He was concentrating on the script on the sofa, and the black cat was lazily nestled in his lap. After the Leo advertisement, there were many rumors about her and him. He could no longer date secretly outside like before, so he often got rid of those entertainment reporters and came to her house after the announcement.
Sometimes I watch TV with her.
Sometimes I talk and laugh with her.
Sometimes he would be buried in his script or lyrics, preparing for the next day's announcements, and would just smile at her and hug her when she came into the room. He was so busy that he didn't even have time to talk to her more.
Luo Xi often came here, and gradually, Yin Xiamo got used to it, so this place seemed to have become his home.
Hearing her enter the room, Yin Cheng came out, took her handbag, walked with her into the living room, and then went to the kitchen as usual to prepare the soup that had been cooking for a long time for her.
Luo Xi put down the script.
He took a large white cardboard box.
There is a white gauze bow on the paper box.
Yin Xiamo opened it, and inside was an incredibly beautiful white evening dress with simple lace and pearls, pure and noble.
"You'll be the most beautiful woman at the annual awards ceremony."
He kissed her forehead affectionately.
Her fingers were faintly visible through the white gauze of her evening gown. She looked up at him with a smile in her eyes: "Is that all you want?" She thought he would wish her to win the Newcomer Award or even the Golden Melody Award.
"yes."
Luo Xi put his arm around her shoulders and chuckled:
"Whether you win an award or not, being officially invited to participate is the greatest affirmation for you. There will be many more opportunities in the future. Even if you don't win an award this time, you will always be the most beautiful woman in my eyes."
Yin Xiamo leaned on his shoulder.
She closed her eyes.
Smile.
She understood that Luo Xi was worried that she would be disappointed if she didn't win the award. Although she knew that she was not someone who would be easily discouraged, she felt warm in her heart for his kindness. She no longer avoided him, no longer deliberately alienated him and hurt him. Since she let go of her knot in her heart, she suddenly found that there was another world. She could also be like a spoiled child, gently enjoying the happiness of loving and being loved.
Yin Cheng walked out of the kitchen and brought her the cooked soup.
Yin Xiamo has fallen asleep.
She slept soundly on Luo Xi's legs, curled up, her hands clasped in front of her chest like a baby, with a faint smile on her lips, as if she was having a sweet dream. Luo Xi's beautiful lips also had a faint smile, he gently patted her shoulder with one hand, and read the script quietly with the other hand.
Yin Cheng brought a thin blanket and gently covered her with it while she was sleeping.
Luo Xi looked up and smiled at him.
Yin Cheng also smiled at him, then returned to the easel and continued painting.
The living room was quiet and silent.
However, there seemed to be a fragrance of night dew, transparent and crystal, flowing faintly and lingering, so beautiful that one dared not breathe.
******
A week later.
The top floor of the Ou Group Building.
There is a black desk designed by an Italian designer, a black marble floor, and the crystal chandelier is not turned on. Only a wall lamp is on, and it is night outside the window.
Ou Chen stood by the window.
The traffic downstairs was coming and going, shuttling like a sea of lights. There was no expression on his handsome face. The moonlight slanted in, shining on the green lace tied around his wrist. After a long time, his eyes slowly returned from the window to the invitation in his hand.
Annual Gold Award Ceremony.
Every year, the Ou Group sponsors a large sum of money for this ceremony, and the annual Gold Award Ceremony also cordially invites representatives from the Ou Group to attend. After the news of his return to China was announced today, the organizing committee of the annual Gold Award Ceremony specially sent him an invitation letter.
Ou Chen looked at the invitation letter, his expression was indifferent and a little dazed. He hadn't seen her since the filming of the advertisement was completed. If he attended the award ceremony, he should be able to meet her.
But…
What would it matter if he saw her? The scene of her kissing Luo Xi on the deck that day flashed painfully back in his mind like a slow motion.
Ou Chen's eyes were dark and his back became stiff. He threw the invitation letter into the wastebasket indifferently, walked back to his desk, turned on the desk lamp, and began to deal with company affairs in front of the computer. Ten minutes later, Simon pushed open the door of the office and saw the cold and solemn figure of the young master. He also saw the invitation letter in the wastebasket, so he did not go in and closed the door gently.
The night deepens.
In the empty office, Ou Chen looked at the report on the computer screen, his eyes gradually becoming distant. Finally, he picked up the remote control beside the table, turned on the large-screen LCD TV in front of him, switched a few channels, and the screen stopped at the live broadcast of the annual gold award ceremony.
Red carpet.
The passage was crowded with reporters from various media outlets.
Countless flashes of light.
Jewels and jewels.
Beautiful clothes.
The clothes are fragrant and the hair is beautiful.
The stars skillfully posed in front of the camera, the reporters excitedly held up their microphones and cameras, and the fans on both sides were also frantically trying to break through the security blockade and rush forward...
Ou Chen took out vodka from the wine cabinet and poured it into a crystal glass. Stars appeared on the red carpet like a revolving lantern. He looked at the TV screen indifferently, drank the wine slowly, and then poured another glass.
until-
Her appearance.
Ou Chen's fingers suddenly clenched the wine glass, the transparent liquid quietly stirred, and the aroma of the wine was as deep and intense as his eyes at this moment.
The night is dark and the sky is filled with stars.
A long red carpet.
She wore a white evening gown with lace and pearls on the hem, which was not ostentatious but rather low-key and gorgeous. Her long seaweed-like hair was scattered on her shoulders, making her look a little lazy and sexy, which formed a strange conflict with her calm expression, as if she was careless, but so beautiful that people could not look away.
Flashbulbs flashed one after another.
As bright as day.
There were fans in the crowd shouting her name, she looked over and the camera caught her smile, close-up on the TV screen. Her smile was faint, her amber eyes seemed to have a smile but also seemed not to have one, looming like crystal dewdrops in white mist.
The LCD screen switched to the next star.
Ou Chen closed his eyes.
He raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp, the burning sensation spreading from his throat to his heart. Perhaps she was a curse that fate had placed on him, causing him to fall into destructive pain time and time again, but he could not forget her. Perhaps he should grab her at all costs, even if she already had someone she loved, even if he showed up too late so that there was no room for her heart.
Grab her!
He must get what he wants!
But…
But there seemed to be a voice in his heart stopping him, as if he had done something wrong because of his arrogance and dominance, something that made him suffer and even lose his memory...
Ou Chen's head began to hurt violently again!
He pressed his fingers against his temples.
The pain was so severe that it seemed to tear him apart, and he couldn't help but groan.
At this time, the cell phone rang.
Ou Chen endured the pain and took out his phone:
"Hello?"
There was a voice on the other end of the phone.
Ou Chen suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils gradually tightened, dark green like a forest at night. After a while, he said in a low voice:
"Send the investigation materials over! Now!"
