Waiting for the Stars to Fall

Chapter 57: Reach the stars

Views:

Outside the private room, Li Xixi, Xu Xiangyang and others stood in a row against the wall. Lu Ji stood at the edge smoking a cigarette. The corners of his eyes were obviously red and swollen. Lin Jiayu looked up at him and asked worriedly, "Are you okay with your injury?"

Lu Ji looked down at her and twitched his lips: "What could happen? At most, her face will be disfigured."

Lin Jiayu remained silent. Zhou Yuan endured for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking: "I feel like I don't fit in with you. What's going on? Can someone tell me?"

Ding Xiang said helplessly: "Actually, I am the same as you."

Still no one spoke. This matter was too complicated to explain and Li Xixi didn't know how to say it.

The door suddenly opened.

Zhu Xingyao seemed to rush out. She was stunned for a moment when she saw a row of people standing outside the door. Li Xixi looked inside curiously and saw Jiang Tu standing up. He stood there looking at Zhu Xingyao, but his expression was not clear.

Li Xixi asked in a low voice: "You..."

Zhu Xingyao's eyes were still red, she lowered her head and said, "Let's go back first, it's already late."

The misunderstandings over the years almost overturned Zhu Xingyao's entire teenage years. Even if they were explained clearly, it was still hard for her to digest all at once. Li Xixi felt sorry for Zhu Xingyao. She took her arm and said, "Let's go. I'll ask my driver to take you home."

A group of people walked to the underground garage and left. Jiang Tu watched Zhu Xingyao get into the nanny car.

After the nanny car drove away, he lowered his head in silence.

Love letter, first kiss, star lights, report letter...

At three o'clock in the morning, Zhu Xingtu was lying on the bed with a splitting headache, but she still couldn't sleep. She thought of the light kiss in the hospital many years ago. Did Jiang Tu kiss her secretly and then leave? Lu Ji just came in and held her hand. How could there be such a coincidence...

Zhu Xingyao recalled the time when she pushed Jiang Tu away and scolded him for being too harsh, and his silent and forbearing expression, and she felt uncomfortable again.

Jiang Tu was really too much. He even made her misunderstand their first kiss. He didn't tell her anything and made her look like a fool.

The phone screen lit up.

Jiang Tu asked: "Xingxing, what should I do to make you forgive me?"

Zhu Xingyao looked at her phone for a long time, then she put it down and got up from the bed.

It was a bit chilly at night, so she put on a scarf and walked out of the room.

The room in the attic is their family's warehouse, where many old things are piled up. Zhu Xingyao opened the attic door.

An old smell hit her face. Old things that had been piled up for many years were all here, and many of them were very messy. Zhu Xingyao bent down and searched through the pile of things. There were so many things, even various toys, shoes, and exercise books from her childhood.

She searched for half an hour, her hands were covered in dust, but she still couldn't find it.

"Xingxing? Are you upstairs?"

Ding Yu's voice came from downstairs.

Zhu Xingyao quickly responded: "It's me, I'll be right down."

Zhu Xingyao frowned, dusted off his hands, quickly closed the door and went downstairs.

Ding Yu stood at the bottom of the stairs and looked up at her, asking with concern: "Why are you going up to the attic so late at night?"

"I'll find something..." Zhu Xingyao walked down the stairs quickly. After breaking up with Lu Ji, she sorted out the eighty-seven love letters and the gifts he gave her and asked Ding Yu to help her deal with them. After all, they had broken up, and it would not be good to keep those things.

Ding Yu asked: "What are you looking for? I'll help you find it tomorrow."

Zhu Xingyao was too embarrassed to say that she woke up to look for the love letter because she couldn't sleep. She said, "It's nothing. If I can't find it, forget it."

"Can't sleep?" Ding Yu sighed, "I know that you and Xixi's participation in the school anniversary party has become a hot topic and news. Your studio is almost ready. Your agent and I have consulted with your father, and I still think that the old Hua Ling is reliable."

Zhu Xingyao and Li Xixi's participation in their alma mater's anniversary celebration was trending on Weibo and on the entertainment headlines. When Li Xixi participated in the talent show, the Internet was not very developed and there was not even Weibo. There were not many media reports about their high school life at that time, and even if there were, the coverage was small. In addition, Zhu Xingyao has been relatively low-key since 2013, so there has been little coverage about her love life.

After attending the school anniversary and becoming a hot topic, various revelations from alumni and younger classmates came in.

Li Xixi and Xu Xiangyang have always been a semi-open secret in the circle. This time, most netizens' attention is on Zhu Xingyao.

"Zhu Xingyao also had a premature love affair in high school. The other party was also a top student in the school. The way he confessed his love was also very hardcore, with a large field of star lights. It was amazing."

"There are photos. You can go to the forum of Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School to have a look. I am from Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School. Today I took a photo with Zhu Xingyao and Li Xixi. Ah, the goddess is really super beautiful, both beautiful and elegant."

"But it's a pity that the goddess and the idol broke up. No matter how romantic and sweet the first love is, it can't survive an overseas relationship."

"Who says premature love will always have a result? Li Xixi and her boyfriend are often reported to have broken up."

Previously, Zhu Xingyao's work affairs had been temporarily handled by Zhu Yunping's company's public relations manager. Hua Ling was her former agent. Zhu Xingyao said: "She has been in contact with me. I will meet her in a few days when I go to Beijing."

Ding Yu nodded and said okay, then sent her back to her room to sleep.

The next morning, Jiang Tu, who had almost not slept all night, got up at 7 o'clock as usual. He sat at the dining table and looked through the various screenshots and questions sent by Lao Yuan.

Old Yuan: "Zhu Xingyao and Lu Ji are each other's first love, and you and Lu Ji are classmates, so you are also from Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School?"

Old Yuan: "So, are you and Zhu Xingyao schoolmates? Or classmates?"

Old Yuan: "Zhu Xingyao is the goddess of your school, and you never mentioned her..."

During the four years of college, Jiang Tu had never mentioned anything about high school. There was really nothing to mention. Zhu Xingyao… That was a secret in his heart, and it was even more impossible for him to mention it. Jiang Tu was silent for a moment, and replied to Lao Yuan: "Zhu Xingyao and I were classmates."

Lao Yuan quickly sent a shocked expression and replied: "F*ck!!!"

Old Yuan sent another message: "Jiang Tu, you are so terrible. Du Yunfei nags Zhu Xingyao in the dormitory every day, and you never mentioned that you know her."

A while later.

Old Yuan said: "It's not surprising, you haven't mentioned it to anyone."

Jiang Tu has always been aloof, cold, and arrogant. Lao Yuan and Du Yunfei always thought that he had no friends in high school. They only knew that he had a childhood sweetheart who would occasionally call to show concern for him.

Jiang Tu has never liked holidays. Holidays are meaningless to him, and he still works during his holidays.

October 6th, a long day passed.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Jiang Tu received a reply from Zhu Xingyao: "Please let me be quiet for a while."

Zhu Xingyao put her cell phone on the bed. She sat on the carpet with an open suitcase next to her and was packing her luggage.

Li Xixi called and asked with concern, "How are you and Jiang Tu doing?"

Zhu Xingyao was silent for a moment, and said dejectedly: "I don't know what to do."

Over the years, every time Zhu Xingyao thought of Jiang Tu's hardships and the things that happened during the college entrance examination, she would feel distressed. She could understand his forbearance and restraint, but the things he did, pushing her onto others little by little, really made her sad.

When all the truth was revealed, Jiang Tu liked her more than Zhu Xingyao had imagined.

Since I like it so much...

Why not say it

He would rather write a letter of denunciation than confess to her that he liked her.

She is in a very complicated mood now.

I feel angry and sad at the same time.

I don’t know whether I feel sorry for myself or for him.

After listening to this, Li Xixi couldn't help but scratch her hair in annoyance, but she still snorted: "Then he deserves to be abused. Don't forgive him too quickly. Wait until you feel comfortable. Don't think too much, otherwise it will affect your mood and sleep."

It has already had an impact, Zhu Xingyao thought to himself.

The National Day holiday was over, and Jiang Tu's facial injury had not healed yet. When he went to the company, he was stared at by the company employees for a while. Lao Yuan followed him into the office and asked with concern: "What happened to your face? Did you fight with someone?"

Jiang Tu rarely cared about his appearance since he was a child. He often had injuries on his face and body when he was in high school. He was used to it. It was not until he was stared at by his subordinates just now that he felt that this had a bad influence. He paused and said, "It's okay, there was an accident."

Old Yuan looked at him and asked again: "You're not wearing glasses today?"

His glasses were broken in the fight that night, and he hasn't gone to get a new pair yet. Jiang Tu said, "I wear contact lenses."

Zhu Xingyao helped Jiang Tu get both pairs of glasses for high school. He used the pair he got after the college entrance examination until he graduated from college. He only got one pair in the United States and changed the lenses only once during that time.

In the evening, Zhu Xingyao returned to the hotel after finishing the interview.

Xiao Kui was helping her put her clothes together. She turned around and asked, "Xingxing, didn't you bring Xiao Jiang with you this time?"

Zhu Xingyao was removing her makeup. She lowered her eyes, coughed a few times, and then said, "No."

Xiao Kui sighed in disappointment, then laughed again: "You should bring it with you next time, it's so cute. Next time you practice the piano or do something, I can hold it for you, and then you can video or record it for Mr. Jiang to see."

Mr. Jiang

Zhu Xingyao was stunned. It was the first time she heard someone call Jiang Tu like that.

As soon as she removed her makeup and walked out of the bathroom, Mr. Jiang sent her a WeChat message.

Jiang Tu: "Xingxing, please accompany me to get glasses next time."

Zhu Xingyao coughed twice again. Xiao Kui stood up and poured her a glass of water, and asked worriedly, "Do you have a cold? You coughed several times today." Xiao Kui reached out to touch her forehead, then touched herself and muttered, "I seem to have a fever."

The disease came on quickly and violently.

Two days later, Zhu Xingyao got off the plane, looking listless.

When Lao Liu saw her like this, he asked hurriedly, "Miss, are you having a fever?"

Xiao Kui said: "I had an IV drip before I boarded the plane. My fever has gone down now. I'm just afraid it will come back at night."

Zhu Xingyao slumped in the chair, her voice weak: "It's okay, go home quickly."

"But Mr. Zhu and his wife are not at home. Xiaokui, you should stay at home tonight and take care of him. It would be bad if he catches a fever at night." Old Liu said worriedly, as it was not convenient for him to take care of him.

Zhu Yunping was on a business trip, Ding Yu went to another city to attend an expert consultation, and Zhu Xingyao took a shower, ate something, and then curled up in bed. It was just getting dark outside, and there was a desk lamp on in the bedroom.

Xiao Kui was quietly packing her luggage. She turned around and saw Xiao Jiang covered with a handkerchief on the table.

She picked it up and looked at it again and again.

My finger accidentally touched the switch.

The screen lights up!

She was frightened and tried to turn it off in a panic, but she couldn't!

Then he hurriedly said: "Xiao Jiang, stop making trouble..."

Xiao Jiang has gone crazy again.

Xiao Kui was a little anxious. She swiped her finger across the screen. Suddenly, the screen went dark. She was stunned. Three seconds later, Jiang Tu's face appeared on the screen. Jiang Tu was also stunned when he saw the enlarged Xiao Kui's face.

He looked at the screen: "Are you in the Star Room?"

Xiao Kui didn't know that Xiao Jiang was a tester and could go crazy. She cried and said angrily, "I'm sorry... I pressed it accidentally and couldn't turn it off. I didn't mean to summon you." She explained, "Xingxing is sick, so I stayed to take care of her."

The author has something to say: The stars are sick from being angry.
