Xiao Han said that he wrote a song for Sang Luo, and the other three were very interested.
Xia Zhi specially poured a cup of tea, ready to drink tea while enjoying the song, but Xiao Han burst into tears after singing the first sentence. Cheng Yunan was also frightened by the explosive lyrics, and he lay on the table with a mouthful of rice in his mouth and laughed, spitting out the rice while laughing.
As for Sang Luo, he was already so angry that his face turned red. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to strangle Xiao Han to death.
"Xiao Han, you bastard! Go to hell!!!"
"I, I was wrong, cough cough... Dad! I was wrong! Dad! cough cough..." Xiao Han's neck was strangled, and he begged for mercy while screaming in suffocation.
Xia Zhi and Cheng Yun'an didn't even have time to wipe away the tears of laughter from the corners of their eyes before they hurriedly stood up to pull Sang Luo away, fearing that some angry "CEO's little devil" would really kill Xiao Han.
The farce was over, and the dinner finally came to an end. The four of them left Jinhui Pavilion and went to a bar they often went to drink.
Xiao Han brought disaster upon himself. In order to apologize to Sang Luo, he was cheated out of several bottles of expensive high-end foreign liquor. When he paid the bill, his hand was shaking slightly when he took out the card.
Fortunately, after Sang Luo drank the wine, she finally forgave him.
Everyone sat in the bar for the rest of the afternoon, drinking until the evening.
The four of them were drunk, so they couldn't drive the car. Cheng Yunan called a designated driver for him. Xiao Han lived in the same neighborhood as him. He came here with his car today, so he naturally went back with him. After Cheng Yunan and Xiao Han left, Sang Luo also called his own driver to pick them up and take Xia Zhi to the high-speed rail station.
On the way to the high-speed railway station, Sang Luo tried to persuade her to stay: "You really don't want to stay and sleep with me? My bed is big and soft, it's very comfortable to sleep on~"
Sang Luo was originally a person who loved drinking, but his alcohol tolerance was average. He drank a little too much today and was obviously drunk. He had even started talking nonsense.
Xia Zhi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. He glanced at the driver in front of him awkwardly, and saw that the driver was also secretly glancing at them through the rearview mirror, with some hostility in his eyes when he looked at him.
This driver was obviously Sang Luo's boyfriend. He probably considered himself as the third party who destroyed his boss's marriage.
Xia Zhi quietly moved towards the door, silently distanced himself from a married man. But Sang Luo was drunk and didn't realize it at all. He kept rubbing against him, and even put his arm around his waist. He also kept talking.
"Baby, come home with me, I will treat you well. We don't want that dog Shi Mudong anymore! I want to divorce my husband! I want to find a second spring!"
At this moment, not only did Xia Zhi's mouth twitch, but even his eyelids began to tremble. The driver in the front seat was even more alarmed, and his right hand was ready to take out his cell phone to inform his boss.
Xia Zhi struggled to pull the arm away from her waist, crying out in pain: "Brother, please let me go. I haven't lived enough. I don't want to be killed by your man at such a young age."
"Dead?!" Sang Luo suddenly sat up straight, grabbed Xia Zhi's hands and asked nervously, "Are you sick? What's wrong? Don't be afraid, I will find the world's top doctors to see you right now. If they can't be cured, I will let them be buried with you!"
"..." Xia Zhi held his forehead speechlessly and shook off his hand, "Read less brainless domineering boss stories!"
Sang Luo withdrew his hand, pursed his lips and made a sound of grievance.
Sang Luo finally calmed down after his drunken rage. Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and took out his cell phone to see how long it would take to get to the high-speed rail station. However, Sang Luo, who had been quiet for less than five minutes, suddenly reached out and snatched his cell phone.
"Give it to me quickly." Xia Zhi stretched out his hand to grab it back, but Sang Luo grabbed his wrist. When he met Sang Luo's blurry and drunken eyes, he felt a throbbing pain on his forehead. "What do you want to do now?"
Sang Luo held his hand and said affectionately: "Let's get married."
Xia Zhi: “…”
Driver: “Hiss—”
Xia Zhi resisted the urge to beat up the drunkard and pulled his hand back: "Brother, please stop making trouble and let's go to sleep."
Sang Luo turned a deaf ear to him and looked at him affectionately: "I know you like Lao Jiang. You and him once had an unforgettable relationship, but it is impossible for you two to be together anymore! You should give up as soon as possible!"
Xia Zhi was shocked and asked in disbelief: "How did you know..."
Sang Luo didn't seem to hear and continued to talk: "In fact, you have never let him go after all these years. You still love him now."
"I do not… "
"But all this has become a thing of the past. You are now from two different worlds. Lao Jiang can no longer give you happiness!"
Xia Zhi lowered his head and said sadly, "I know."
"So marry me! I will treat you well and the baby in your belly well. If Chiang Kai-shek is still alive, he will definitely bless us!"
"… "

Xia Zhi and Jiang Zhixia had dated before, but no one knew about it except the two parties themselves. Because Chuanxing strictly prohibited members from dating in private, and dating within the team was even more strictly prohibited, so when the two of them were secretly dating, they didn't even tell their teammates.
The two had originally planned to wait until the group was stable before telling the members the truth, but they didn't expect the group to disband a year later, and he and Jiang Zhixia didn't make it to the end, and their relationship ended when the group disbanded.
When they were together, they couldn't find the right time to talk about it. After they broke up, Xia Zhi felt that there was no need to talk about it. As a result, after so many years, the three teammates still don't know about it. So just now in the car, when Sang Luo suddenly broke the news, he was really shocked and didn't understand how Sang Luo knew about it.
In just three seconds, five or six possibilities flashed through his mind - did he let the secret slip when he was drunk, or did Jiang Zhixia leak the information, or did Sang Luo hire a private investigator to investigate him
Just when he was struggling to decide whether to admit it, he discovered that Sang Luo was drunk!
Xia Zhi looked a little unhappy when he got out of the car. Holding the car door, he looked back at Sang Luo, who was so drunk that he had fallen asleep in the car, and felt extremely speechless.
"I'm leaving." He bent over and said to the people in the car. But Sang Luo had fallen into a deep sleep and didn't hear him at all.
Xia Zhi closed the car door and walked towards the front door. After taking two steps, he turned back, opened the car door and got his upper body into the car.
"Wake up," he pinched Sang Luo's face to wake him up.
Sang Luo opened his eyes dazedly: "Hmm?"
"Acting?" Sang Luo looked confused.
"You just casually said that thing between Jiang Zhixia and me, right?"
"What?" Sang Luo blinked and asked in a daze, "The baby was born?"
"… "
"Boy or girl, like me?"
"..." Xia Zhi threw Sang Luo back into the seat, turned to the driver and said, "Don't send her home, take her directly to the hospital."
"boom!"
Xia Zhi closed the car door with a grim face, turned around and walked towards the station.

After Xia Zhi returned to U City, he was restless for several days. Although what Sang Luo said that day seemed to be just drunken nonsense, he couldn't be sure whether Sang Luo really knew something. But he didn't dare to ask rashly, otherwise, with Sang Luo's keenness, even if he didn't know it beforehand, he would definitely be able to notice something afterwards, and then the gain would outweigh the loss.
As for Sang Luo, what happened that day seemed to have been completely erased from his memory, and he didn't remember what he said at all.
A few days later, U University officially started the final exam week. Xia Zhi's workload increased dramatically, and he was so busy that he forgot about this matter.
This busy schedule lasted until the last day of the semester.
During this time, Fang Yuan did not call him again to tell him about the group show. Since the five of them were not particularly clear about their attitudes on the matter that day, Xia Zhi felt that Chuanxing had probably given up this ridiculous plan. As a result, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he received a call from Sang Luo the night before the official holiday.
"Have you heard that Lao Jiang has decided to agree to Chuan Xing's request?"
Xia Zhi, who was having dinner, was stunned for a moment, and asked a little later as if to confirm: "Which group show?"
"Yeah." Sang Luo said, "It's quite unexpected. We didn't expect it. We thought he was the most difficult to invite."
Not to mention them, Chuanxing probably didn't expect that the first person to agree would be Jiang Zhixia.
"Why did he... agree?"
"I haven't had the chance to ask. I also heard it from Fang Yuan." Sang Luo was silent for a moment, then asked tentatively, "If you're curious, why don't you give him a call?"
Xia Zhi was stunned: "Why me?"
"You know Lao Jiang, he's a dull guy, only slightly better than a idiot. He might not answer if we ask him, but you're different."
Xia Zhi felt a little awkward: "How am I different?"
"He listens to you." Sang Luo pointed out, "He loved you the most in the group before, and he listened to you."
Xia Zhi touched his slightly hot earlobe uncomfortably and said in a hollow defense: "That was in the past. You know our current situation."
Sang Luo on the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent. After a long while, a helpless sigh came from the phone, followed by Sang Luo's voice.
"Are you going to ignore him from now on?"
Xia Zhi's eyes dimmed slightly, and he licked his dry lips: "I don't know."
"It's not like you two have any deep hatred. Are you really planning to never have anything to do with each other again?" Sang Luo advised earnestly, "I know you have always been concerned about Lao Jiang's original choice, but at that time the group's disbandment was already a foregone conclusion. It's understandable that Lao Jiang chose to go solo for his future."
Xia Zhi sighed and said, "I know. I don't care about this matter anymore. I was stuck in a dead end at that time and couldn't get out of it for a while, but after calming down, I figured it out. His choice was indeed not wrong. On the contrary, I was too selfish and kept blackmailing him morally."
Xia Zhi still blames himself when he thinks of the hurtful words he said in that impulse, and his voice becomes softer and softer.
Sang Luo heaved a sigh of relief: "It's good that you have figured it out. Lao Jiang is not a petty person, he will definitely not blame you. Now that you have let it go, there is no need to hide from him. Why not take this opportunity to reconcile with us."
Xia Zhi was a little hesitant, but at the same time he was relieved. It seemed that Sang Luo didn't know the true relationship between him and Jiang Zhixia, and he always thought that they had not been in touch for so many years because the group was going to disband.
Sang Luo, who knew nothing about the truth, was very happy at the moment. The five of them had a very good relationship since the training period, and they were like brothers. Especially Xia Zhi and Jiang Zhixia. They were probably the closest in age and had the closest relationship. They went in and out together, did everything together, and were inseparable. Cheng Yunan even protested countless times that the two of them were too close, thus neglecting the three brothers.
But no one expected that these two people who were so close to each other would have the worst quarrel when the group disbanded. The two people who had never had even a small conflict actually had a big quarrel and then fell into a cold war. This war lasted for eight years and they have not reconciled to this day.
I thought they still had resentment towards each other, but I didn't expect they were afraid to face it. After Sang Luo knew that they still cared about each other, he started to make peace.
Under Sang Luo's persistent persuasion, Xia Zhi finally agreed to call Jiang Zhixia.
Xia Zhi hung up the phone with Sang Luo, opened the address book and scrolled down to the bottom. With trembling fingertips, he dialed the number at the bottom with the note "Z".
Beep-beep-
The call is put on hold.
Xia Zhi's heart skipped a beat and he looked at the number on the phone screen with some surprise - he hadn't changed his number in all these years.
Before he could think about it, the call was connected.
"Hello. Who is this?"
