The hall for the annual Gold Awards ceremony.

Gorgeous crystal chandelier.

Rows of satin red seats, stars laughing and chatting, graceful and charming. The seats are divided into zones according to the candidates for the most popular male singer of the year, the most popular female singer of the year, the best record of the year, etc. The seats next to each other are often competitors for a certain award, but in front of the camera, all the stars behaved elegantly, gently and modestly.

Yin Xiamo was sitting in the candidate area for the best newcomer of the year. On her right was Pan Nan, and on her left was Bai Yin, a newcomer from Brilliant Times Company.

Baiyin was wearing a long linen dress, similar to an evening gown or a robe, without any makeup, which was out of place with the atmosphere of the awards ceremony. She released an album a month earlier than Pan Nan, and took the route of a soul singer, writing her own lyrics and music. Her style and lyrics were very strange, and she was praised as a new generation of talent. All media outlets agreed that the newcomer award would be between her and Pan Nan. When Yin Xiamo entered the venue, she was already in her seat. The two smiled at each other, and then Baiyin started listening to MP, and Yin Xiamo stopped talking to her.

Pan Nan's hair was cut shorter, making her look more like a beautiful boy. She had long legs, black leather boots, eyes like shooting stars, and a high spirit. When she walked across the red carpet, many girls screamed with excitement.

"What's wrong?"

Pan Nan lowered his voice and found that Xia Mo was suddenly staring in one direction in a trance. Quietly, a gentle smile flashed across the corner of her lips. The smile was very light and unusually soft.

It's rare to see Xia Mo show such an expression.

Pan Nan followed her gaze.

In the most popular male singer area in the front two rows on the right, Luo Xi was turning his head to look over. His eyes and Xia Mo's eyes were glued together like sparks of lightning, and even the smiles on the corners of their lips seemed to be exactly the same.

Noticing Pan Nan's surprised look, Luo Xi turned his eyes away from Xia Mo and waved to Pan Nan with a smile. Pan Nan also waved back at him. When she looked back at Xia Mo, Xia Mo had returned to her usual calm demeanor.

"Are you in love?"

Yin Xiamo felt her ears getting hot. When she heard Pan Nan whispering in her ear, her heart skipped a beat and her ears started to burn. She should have denied it, but for some reason, she suddenly felt so overwhelmed that she couldn't say a word.

Pan Nan chuckled.

"Haha, you look just like an ordinary girl right now." Pan Nan bit her ear and joked, "I thought you really had cultivated to become a spirit, and you can't show your emotions at all."

"Have you thought of your thank you speech?"

Yin Xiamo also lowered her voice, half to retaliate against her teasing, and half because she really wanted to ask.

Pan Nan's album is a light rock style, coupled with her dazzling neutral beauty and cool dancing. After the album was released, it received a strong response and once topped the female singer rankings, pushing Shen Qiang to second place for three weeks. In the momentum of Shen Qiang's rise, Pan Nan's performance was like a dark horse. If Bai Yin's album received high artistic evaluation, then Pan Nan's album received even higher evaluation in the market.

Yin Xiamo knew that the suspense of the newcomer award this time was not big, and it would definitely be between Pan Nan and Bai Yin. She had no intention of being self-deprecating, but she knew that she had been in the industry for too short a time, and although she had made rapid progress, she should still have potential to be tapped. However, compared with Pan Nan and Bai Yin who had received professional training for seven or eight years, she was still quite far away.

"I've made up my mind," Pan Nan crossed his hands behind his head, coughed lightly, smiled and whispered, "Thank you HBS, thank you MTV, thank you Sun Company, thank you Cai Ni, thank you agent, thank you dad, thank you mom, thank you Xia Mo..."

Yin Xiamo smiled: "What a standard cliché."

"Yeah, it's a boring occasion in the first place." Pan Nan said lazily, "Whether the work is good or not, everyone has their own opinion in their hearts, there's no need for them to judge the award. But if I don't attend, I'll definitely be accused of being arrogant and wordy as a newcomer."

At this time, Baiyin took off the headphones of MP and glanced at Pan Nan and Yin Xiamo vaguely. The two smiled at the same time, changed the topic tacitly, and started talking about random things.

******

O's Group Building.

The annual gold award ceremony was going on vigorously on the LCD TV, and the noisy sound made the empty office unusually quiet. Ou Chen sat with his back stiff. The people from the investigation agency had left for twenty minutes, but his mind was still in a state of shock and chaos, and he no longer had the usual indifference and calmness.

The photo is slightly yellowed.

It seemed that they were collected from different places. Some of the photos were preserved very cleanly, some were stained, folded, and had fingerprints, and some were copies of the old Shenghui School newspapers, and the pictures were blurry and not clear.

but-

There are two identical people in the photo.

The scene on campus, he was cold and arrogant when he was young, but he was different from now, his eyes were bright at that time, especially when the camera captured the moment when he stared at her. She looked a little more childish, with a white face and amber glass-like eyes, still calm and distant, but when she looked up at him, there was always a gentle smile at the corner of her lips.

Looking at the smile in the photo.

Ou Chen's heart seemed to be suddenly clamped!

He remembered this smile.

… …

Abandoned warehouse.

There was a soft feeling in her voice. He was startled, and looked down at her in his arms. Her eyes were filled with star-like tears, her lips were as pale as lilies, and she smiled gently.

His heart suddenly became silent.

He suddenly wanted to touch her cheek with his fingers, gently, just touch her gently. Why did she always make him heartbroken so easily

… …

Did she often smile at him like this? Standing beside him, quietly looking at him, smiling at him, as if she would never leave him. Ou Chen took a deep breath, his fingers tensed and stiffened. He tried to suppress the pain in his chest and looked at the photos carefully.

One is the square on campus.

The crowd of students on the square made way for her like the sea parting, and the young man stood in front of her, his breath arrogant and domineering, and he bent down slightly and kissed the back of her hand. She stared at him, her eyes calm, but quietly, revealing the shyness of a young girl.

One is by the swimming pool.

Surrounded by many young men and women in expensive clothes, the young boy was indifferent and distant. Everyone stood two meters away from him, except her, who always stood by his side, holding his bath towel in her hand.

One photo shows the lake in the early morning.

There was still a light mist on the surface of the lake. He looked like he had just come back from a morning run, with some sweat on his forehead. She leaned against the black stretched Lincoln and gently wiped the sweat off his face with a towel.

The words of the head of the investigation agency rang in Ou Chen's ears again—

"According to our investigation, five years ago Yin Xiamo and Ou Chen were a very famous student couple at Shenghui College..."

"When Ou Chen was fourteen, he publicly announced that Yin Xiamo was his girlfriend, so their relationship was known to everyone in Shenghui College at the time..."

"Because they are very conspicuous on campus, many students and school newspaper reporters like to secretly take photos of them together and circulate them privately. What we have collected is only a part of them. If necessary, we can collect more..."

"But five years ago, Yin Xiamo's adoptive parents died in a car accident, and Ou Chen suddenly disappeared. There was no news from him, and the two seemed to have lost contact..."

"If you still need to investigate Yin Xiamo's experience in the past five years, we will also provide you with our services wholeheartedly..."

Ou Chen clenched his fingers tightly, his fingers stiff and trembling. The night wind blew the curtains up, and the green lace tied around his wrists also fluttered. There was no expression on his handsome face, only the dark green in his eyes, like a forest with turbulent trees in the dark night.

Because I always doubt.

That strong sense of destiny.

He finally asked the investigation agency to start with Yin Xiamo to investigate his own past. However, when these photos and the results of the investigation were placed in front of him, the blood in his body roared angrily, and it seemed that, vaguely, there was an inexplicable sour happiness flowing quietly in his blood.

… …

She looked so peaceful. The sunset gradually disappeared into the horizon 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 looked at him quietly, like dewdrops on flower petals in the middle of the night, her amber eyes looked at him indifferently:

"Why would I lie to you?"

She smiled, and there was a nonchalant look in her smile.

"If I want to lie to the young master of the Ou Group, I should also lie to you and say that I knew you five years ago, that you loved me, and that I loved you... Unfortunately, I don't know you."

… …

She lied to him.

His heart ached violently, as if he was going to die immediately. The pain was so severe that he became numb. The blood in his body gradually froze from the violent rush just now, and the cold penetrated his bones. She lied to him. Ou Chen's eyes were filled with ice, because he knew that he had forgotten, so -

She cheated on him.

He stared at the picture on the LCD TV with cold eyes.

The host of the annual awards ceremony announced the Best Newcomer Award. The screen cut into five shots, four girls and one boy. Her expression was calm and indifferent, as if she was detached from the awards ceremony.

The winning names were excitedly announced—

"Yin Xiamo!"

The shots of the other four people on the screen quickly disappeared, leaving only a close-up of her face. She was stunned, frowned slightly, and disbelief flashed across her eyes. Then she looked at the girl on her right, who smiled, hugged her, and kissed her cheek.

In the empty office.

Ou Chen's eyes darkened.

She couldn't tolerate anyone getting so close to her.

A moment later.

She walked to the podium, holding the crystal award in her hand. The spotlight shone on her, and the crystal statue reflected the dazzling colorful light. She was wearing a white evening dress, with creamy skin and long hair like seaweed. Her eyes were like beautiful sea water, as bright as the daylight. Her smile was calm and peaceful, just like the sea, making people unable to look away, as if they wanted to indulge in it.

The microphone is in front of her.

"It was beyond my expectation to receive this award," she smiled, looking at the celebrity guests in the audience with a sincere and humble look, "because Pan Nan, Bai Yin and others who are also competing for this award are very strong. Thank you for the conference..."

Hearing this "thank you"...

Ou Chen's head suddenly felt like it was hit hard by a sledgehammer!

He groaned in pain.

The sound of her words on TV suddenly turned into a rustling background and could no longer be heard clearly. His brain ached, and scenes jumped and flashed in his mind like lightning, tearing, dizzy, and incoherent!

… …

Sparkling indoor pool.

She rubbed him like a puppy:

"Why are you angry with me? You look so grumpy. If you don't like seeing me, I will never come to see you again!"

He grabbed the towel forcefully.

He threw the towel aside heavily, his pupils constricted, with a deep green light in his eyes. He stared at her, his jaw stiff and tight.

She gently combed his hair with her fingers, suddenly smiled and said:

"Are you jealous again?"

She rolled her eyes at him, grabbed his arm, turned him around, and said, "Can you please be more reasonable when you get angry next time? Otherwise, if I get really angry one day, I will really ignore you!"

"Can you?"

"Yes." She hugged his arm, shook it, and said coquettishly, "Okay, tell me whether you can help or not."

She smiled like a blooming flower: "No way, I knew you would help me!"

He glanced at her.

"Thank you!" she said happily, shaking his arm.

The water waves are reflected on the ceiling and walls, sparkling.

"Xia Mo, you are mine."

His cold lips kissed her forehead.

… …

With a splitting headache, Ou Chen pinched his temples tightly, and it seemed as if blood was boiling in his chest, making him feel sick. He gasped in pain and tried to remember more memories. However, even though he endured the tearing pain, he could not remember more, and this memory was fragmented and difficult to connect.

With a curse, Ou Chen stood up from the sofa without caring about the severe pain in his head, picked up the keys of the sports car, and strode towards the office door.

The door was slammed shut!

What happened five years ago

Why-

She's going to cheat on him?!

He must know the answer to all this immediately!

******

The annual gold award ceremony is over.

The celebration reception and press conference were held in the HBS studio afterwards. The organizing committee arranged several areas for reporters to interview different stars and take photos of them. It was the time to see clearly which star was popular and which was less popular.

Almost all the reporters surrounded Luo Xi. This year, he not only won four seats in the Top Ten Golden Songs, but also won the Most Powerful Award of the Year, the Best Album of the Year Award, and the Most Popular Male Artist of the Year Award, becoming the most dazzling star as in previous years.

Countless reporters surrounded Luo Xi, and countless microphones and cameras were pointed at him. It seemed as if all the light in the world had dimmed, and the dazzling halo completely enveloped Luo Xi alone.

Some reporters did not have time to squeeze in beside Luo Xi, so they scattered to interview other stars. Four or five reporters were interviewing Shen Qiang. Although her momentum this year was slightly weaker than last year, she still retained the award for the most popular female singer of the year. Rumor has it that she was hospitalized many times for Luo Xi's illness. This time she appeared to be a little thinner. The reporters gossiped about how her relationship with Luo Xi was going, but Shen Qiang said a little stiffly that she would only answer questions about the award ceremony.

Wei An and Yao Shu'er each took a place in the top ten golden songs, and there were reporters taking pictures of them. Wei An seemed to get rid of the shadow of the scandal, wearing a hot red evening dress, diamond jewelry sparkling, and talking and laughing freely. Yao Shu'er wore a white evening dress, delicate and gentle like a jasmine flower, shyly accepting a reporter's photo. When she accidentally met Yin Xiamo's eyes in the distance, she was stunned for a moment, and then quickly looked away. Yu Jingyi and Guan Ying also received one or two consolation awards. They all held their glasses elegantly and celebrated with their artist friends around them.

"Congratulations!"

Pan Nan and Yin Xiamo temporarily escaped from the circle of reporters and walked to a corner. Pan Nan touched Xiamo's wine glass lightly, smiling without any concern, as if she thought it was natural for Xiamo to win the Best Newcomer Award. Yin Xiamo felt mixed emotions, and it would be hypocritical to say that she was not happy. Every artist aspires to win the Best Newcomer Award right after debuting, and with this title, she can get more opportunities to stand out in the future.

but-

This award does not belong to her.

Whether in terms of strength or popularity, Baiyin and Pan Nan are better. If Baiyin's album is too highbrow and unpopular, then Pan Nan's songs are a perfect combination of artistry and popularity.

"sorry."

Yin Xiamo raised her head and drank the wine in one gulp. She drank it too hastily and choked slightly. She wanted to be recognized and awarded, but she wanted recognition that matched her achievements, not as if she had stolen something that originally belonged to someone else for no apparent reason.

"What are you talking about?" Pan Nan patted her on the back and said jokingly, "If the award was taken by Bai Yin, I might be depressed for a few minutes, but you took it, it's like I won it myself. Xia Mo, believe in yourself, you are very outstanding. Although you entered the industry relatively late, maybe one day, you will be more famous than Luo Xi!"

"Anan..."

Yin Xiamo felt warm in her chest. She stared at Pan Nan, unable to speak for a moment.

"Don't say anything cheesy," Pan Nan winked at her and hugged her shoulders affectionately like a good sister, "I will be very cold."

Yin Xiamo lowered her head and smiled.

After Zhen En, Pan Nan is the second friend who can enter her heart.

suddenly.

There was a commotion at the celebration party, and a large group of fans rushed in from the left, probably more than a hundred of them, holding glow sticks, flowers, gifts, and all kinds of banners with the names of the stars they supported, and they rushed over screaming excitedly!

The stars were stunned.

Fans are rarely allowed to enter such occasions.

"Luo Xi!"

"A Luo!"

"Lolo! Lolo! We love you!"

The fans screamed excitedly and rushed to Luo Xi, surrounding him tightly. They stretched out their hands, shouted and waved, wanting to give him the gifts in their hands, and couldn't help but reach out to touch him!

The situation suddenly got out of control!

The security guards at the awards ceremony also rushed in and tried to pull the fans away, but since the enthusiastic fans had already come in, how could they leave? While the security guards were fighting with the fans, more fans rushed in like a flood, and the stars were all surrounded in an instant, and it was difficult for them to escape.

"Luo Xi! Luo Xi!"

“Lolo!!!”

"I love you! A Luo!"

"Vian! We support you! We believe in you!"

"Always love Luo Xi!"

"Support Luo Xi!!"

"Sister Qiang! You are the only one in our hearts!"

"Luo Xi! Luo Xi! We love you! Luo Xi! Luo Xi! We only love Luo Xi!"

The cocktail party was filled with shouts and screams. Fans supporting different stars formed their own camps and shouted at the top of their lungs, as if the louder they shouted, the more fully they could express their support and love for the stars.

"Anan! I like your song!"

"Xia Mo! You sang "Bubble Mermaid" so beautifully!"

"I bought three copies of the Bubble Mermaid album. I listened to one for myself, lent one to a friend, and kept one for myself because I couldn't bear to listen to it!"

"Me too! Me too!"

"Xia Mo! I like you so much!"

"Anan, I will buy all your future albums. I will always support you!"

"Xia Mo! Congratulations on winning the Best Newcomer Award! Keep up the good work!"

Yin Xiamo and Pan Nan were surrounded by fans, who cheered them excitedly and took out books for them to sign. Yin Xiamo signed for them with a smile. This was her first time to be so close to fans. In their cheers, she suddenly felt a sense of overflowing happiness, as if she was needed and loved. At this moment, she understood why it is difficult for many artists to leave the entertainment industry once they enter it. They are used to being supported and loved by everyone. If they lose it again, the loneliness and solitude may be really unbearable.

"Huh! What best newcomer?"

Suddenly, a cold snort came from somewhere. The fans were stunned and found that the cold snort came from the fan group around Baiyin nearby.

"A secret! How can she be considered the best newcomer?!"

"Please stop making me laugh to death! The Best Newcomer award should go to Yin Yin! Yin Yin wrote the lyrics and composed the music herself, she is the most original and talented! Are the judges blind? They actually chose such a pretty face as the Best Newcomer! We want to protest!"

Baiyin's fans shouted angrily, and fans of other stars were all stunned. The stars also looked at each other in surprise and looked in the direction of Yin Xiamo.

Yin Xiamo froze.

Her fingers paused on the page while she was signing. The little fan holding the autograph booklet looked at her cautiously and stuck out her tongue, wanting to say something but not daring to. Yin Xiamo smiled faintly, calmed herself down, and continued to sign her name.

The fans around Yin Xiamo were worried that she would be hurt, so they quickly shouted back:

"What nonsense! It's only natural that Xia Mo wins the Newcomer Award!"

"That's right! If Bai Yin wins the Rookie Award, then there must be something fishy going on! Something fishier than the crows!"

This remark made the stars at the party laugh so hard that they couldn't stop, and the other fans also laughed so hard that they fell over. Baiyin's fans were immediately furious, and even though Baiyin whispered a few words to dissuade them, they still turned to Yin Xiamo and started swearing at her fans.

"Vase! Your singing is so awful!"

"Bai Yin's singing is terrible! What kind of soul singer is this? I think it's a ghost singer!"

"You little lolita and little shota! If you don't have the quality, don't come out and embarrass yourself! Baiyin's songs are art! What bubbles and mermaids! Vulgar!"

"You old perverts! Doing weird things is called art! Doing ugly things is called elegance! Go back and hold your old bones in your coffin!"

"A vase?! I don't think she looks that good!"

"A fox face!"

"It's still a hundred times prettier than your Baiyin's old maiden face!"

The fans of both sides were arguing fiercely. Yin Xiamo tried to dissuade them, but they were already so excited that they could not hear anything. The other fans, celebrities and reporters at the party were all stunned. Luo Xi also looked at Yin Xiamo from the gap between the crowd surrounding him.

At this time, a fan whispered:

"Actually... the Best Newcomer Award should be given to An Nan..."

"yes… "

"I also think it should be given to An Nan..."

Some of Pan Nan's fans felt a little annoyed after hearing the quarrel and couldn't help but grumble in low voices. Gradually they seemed to become agitated.

Pan Nan raised his eyebrows and said to his fans:

"Do you like me?"

"I like it!" fans answered without thinking.

"Okay," Pan Nan put his arm around Yin Xiamo's shoulders and glared at them, with a boyish dominance between his brows, "If you like me, you have to like Xiamo, and if you support me, you have to support her first, remember?!"

The fans were stunned.

Oh my god, Anan is so handsome!

“Remember!”

The fans shouted in unison and immediately joined the Yin Xiamo fans group. On the other side, Baiyin's fans group had also united with the fans of Shangguan Jingjing, Qiao Ya and Shen Chuannan, who also lost out on the Newcomer Award, forming a situation of confrontation between the two major camps.

The celebratory reception was a complete mess.

The fans were so crowded that the security guards pulled out one fan and ten more came in. There was a lot of cursing and reporters were filming and taking photos. Yin Xiamo looked at the fans who were confronting each other, cursing with anger. She was in the center of the storm. She wanted to stop it but couldn't, wanted to leave but couldn't. Only Pan Nan's hand on her shoulder gave her some warmth.

She smiled helplessly.

It doesn’t matter. This is how the world is. If you get something that is not what you deserve, you will have to pay a price for it.

Strangely—

The increasingly intense quarrel suddenly disappeared!

It seemed like just one second.

The cursing disappeared without a trace.

Yin Xiamo turned around and saw the crowd silently parting a path, and Luo Xi was walking towards her. There was a faint white mist, and he was smiling in the corners of his eyes, sexy and charming, with the evil spirit of a playboy, but the corners of his lips, as beautiful as cherry blossoms, revealed a touch of innocence that went straight to the heart.

He came quietly.

Look at him.

All the fans on both sides forgot the language.

Luo Xi walked up to Yin Xiamo.

Smile.

As beautiful as a shower of cherry blossoms on a spring night.

He touched the glass in his hand to the glass between her fingers.

"bite-"

The wine glass made a crisp sound.

"Congratulations on winning the Best Newcomer Award," Luo Xi stared at her and said gently, "You may still have some shortcomings when you first debuted, but next year, I believe your progress will shock everyone."

Most of the fans who had just joined in insulting Yin Xiamo were also fans of Luo Xi. When they saw him come out to support her, they seemed to wilt and could no longer curse. The fans of Yin Xiamo and Pan Nan were very proud and wanted to press on, but with Luo Xi right in front of them, they were too embarrassed to say those unpleasant words, so they had to keep quiet.

Yin Xiamo stared at him.

Suddenly, a glimmer of tears flashed in her eyes. Her strength and calmness just now suddenly shattered like a glass shell in front of him, and the grievances surged up.

She didn't do anything. She didn't fight for the new artist award. If she had to pay the price for her own actions, she would have no complaints. This incident hurt her friends and made her suffer unnecessary gossip. Although fate was always treacherous and she was used to it, she was still unwilling to accept it.

Luo Xi shook his head at her quietly.

She took a deep breath, calmed down, and smiled to hide her tears. Pan Nan also loosened his arms around her and secretly made a face at Luo Xi.

"Where's your wine?" Luo Xi was about to finish his drink, but he found Xia Mo's glass was empty. He smiled and said, "Well, I brought a bottle of champagne tonight. I'll give it to you to celebrate for you."

After saying.

He held Yin Xiamo's hand and walked away from the crowd of fans with a smile. He ignored the fans' open mouths, ignored Shen Qiang who was standing stiffly in the distance, and even less cared about the stunned expressions of other stars and reporters.

that's all.

The two left the celebratory reception.

One minute later.

"ah--!!!!!"

The fans in the hall woke up from their daze and screamed. It was unclear whether they were excited about being close to Luo Xi or were deeply stimulated by Luo Xi's concern for Yin Xiamo.

******

HBS prepared an exclusive lounge for Luo Xi, which was exquisitely and luxuriously decorated, while ordinary artists had to share a large lounge with seven or eight people.

The door to the lounge had just closed.

Luo Xi hugged Yin Xiamo from behind, buried his head in her neck, hugged her tightly, and whispered: "The first time I saw you tonight, I wanted to walk to your side, hug you tightly like this, and rub you into my body."

His lips breathed on her skin.

Scorching hot.

Yin Xiamo only felt a shiver spreading from her neck to her blood, and then numbly, from the blood into her heart.

"What should I do?" Luo Xi moaned and hugged her from behind, kissing the skin behind her ear, "It seems like I'm really poisoned. I saw you last night, but it's like I can't see enough of you. I want to be with you all the time."

Yin Xiamo held his hands around her waist.

Close your eyes.

She chuckled and sighed:

"I'm fine. I'll soon forget what happened."

He was afraid that she would be sad, so he deliberately tried to distract her by being so intimate. However, she was not that fragile, and compared with the past, this embarrassment was so minor that she didn't even need to care about it.

"Hello!"

His voice was filled with annoyance. He tightened his hands, and her ribs suddenly hurt. She groaned and couldn't help but turn her head to glare at him. But he was also glaring at her angrily, with a half-smile in his eyes. The emotion deep in his eyes made her heart stop suddenly.

"Damn it! I finally mustered up the courage to say this to you, why did you change the subject?" Luo Xi said angrily. The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He opened his mouth and bit her ear. "Who cares about that kind of stupid quarrel? We are not fools. Next time you encounter something like this, you don't have to bear it foolishly. Just let those who are crying out for injustice go to the organizing committee of the award ceremony. They are the ones who gave the awards, so they naturally know the reasons best. There is no such thing as absolute fairness in this world. One person's paw is another person's poison. In their eyes, you are not as good as Baiyin. In my opinion, ten Baiyins combined are not as good as one of your fingers."

"You're a bit harsh."

She wanted to laugh, knowing clearly that his words were only meant to comfort her and were not entirely fair, but she felt an indescribable warmth in her heart when she heard them.

Luo Xi looked at her smile and held his breath.

At the party just now, she looked calm and composed, but her body was slightly stiff. He knew that she was strong, and she would not be defeated even if the storm was ten times stronger, but she made him feel very sad. At this moment, her body finally became warm and soft, leaning against his arms. He held her and suddenly had a rude idea.

Let time stop.

Let him and her die right now.

The night is dark.

Their breathing was light, as if sweet. He hugged her tenderly from behind. On the lounge floor, their shadows overlapped into one.

"Xia Mo..."

Luo Xi's body was burning hot, and his beautiful eyes were filled with mist. He kissed her white earlobe, called her, and didn't say anything else.

"… Um?"

She was secretly surprised by the unfamiliar hoarseness in her own voice. Her head was dizzy and her toes seemed to be numb from his kiss.

"Xia Mo..."

Luo Xi called her again. Yin Xiamo was in his arms, tilting her head to look at him. Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were as bright as dewdrops. He was moved and could not help but kiss her cheek again, saying in a low voice:

"… live with me, okay?"

"…?"

She was in a daze and didn't understand.

"Let's... live together..." His breath was hot and scorching.

She opened her eyes wide in surprise, but he kept kissing her cheeks and ears. She couldn't think because of his kisses. She seemed to be spinning involuntarily, dizzy, and trapped in a vortex filled with strong poppy aroma. In the collapse of her mind, she struggled to think with the last bit of clarity, thinking slowly and dazedly.

“Boom boom!”

There seems to be a sound.

Yin Xiamo heard it, and she struggled to turn her head to look at the door of the lounge, as if there was a knock on the door. Luo Xi was kissing passionately, and she turned her head at an angle that made their lips touch each other. He moaned softly and kissed her hard. The kiss was strong and hot.

then-

The two could no longer hear any sound.

The only thing left in this world is the poisonous vortex of sweet temptation.

"Bang-!!!"

A loud bang!

The door slammed against the wall angrily!

The air seemed to be filled with ice.

Chilled to the bone.

It swept in from the door like a snowstorm!

Luo Xi and Yin Xiamo looked towards the door in surprise.

Ou Chen stood there stiffly with anger, his lips pale, looking at the two people cuddling together, with a flame of pain burning in his dark eyes. Standing there, he was like a lonely ice sculpture, freezing cold, but his tightly pursed lips revealed immense anger.

Yin Xiamo was shocked.

She subconsciously wanted to leave Luo Xi.

A pain in the shoulder.

Luo Xi's fingers tightly held her, as if she was the last piece of driftwood before he drowned, and he would never let go even if his grip broke. She tilted her head to look at him in pain, and was surprised to find that his eyes were full of fragility, in addition to fragility, there was also loneliness, tension and fear of losing.

When she looked at Ou Chen again, Ou Chen was already standing in front of her.

He looked cold.

However, there was uncontrollable anger in those icy green pupils.

One after another, yellowish photos flashed before her eyes, and then fell to the ground like fallen leaves. She saw the scenes in the photos, and a strong feeling of suffocation tightened her throat.

"You lied to me!"

Ou Chen's voice was filled with cold hatred.

"Yin Xiamo, you are mine!"
