The road was dark and long. Xu Nanxing quickened her pace, but she still couldn't see the shadow of a car. She turned on the flashlight of her mobile phone, but it could only illuminate a short distance in front of her, which was a rare sense of stability in this dark night.
There were rapid footsteps behind her, and she felt happy. She wanted to ask the person behind her if there was a brighter road nearby, but when she turned her head, she saw that the person looked a little abnormal.
She was so panicked that she almost had to run, but she instantly heard footsteps approaching behind her, and the man's heavy breathing seemed to be behind her ears.
She ran hastily, running toward the only light ahead regardless of the situation.
As she got closer, she saw clearly that it was a car.
The fear in her heart defeated her reserve. She strode over and stopped in front of the car. She heard the sizzling sound of the car's tires rubbing against the ground, and the front of the car stopped dangerously in front of her.
She looked back at the person behind her and stopped a few meters away from her to look at her quietly. The look in her eyes reminded Xu Nanxing of a jackal who saw its prey in the animal world.
She ran to the back door of the car in a few steps, slapped the window hard, and opened and closed her fingers on the door handle, but she never opened the door.
A familiar face was reflected in the car window. She saw that the person chasing her had moved towards her and slowly walked towards her. She was nervous, scared, and powerless.
Suddenly, there was a click and the door opened.
She quickly got into the car and slammed the car door with shaking hands.
But while still in shock, I saw that haunting face...
The cold jawline, cold temperament, and closed eyelashes cast fine shadows on her face. She tried to touch it with trembling hands, but the man suddenly opened his eyes.
There was a coldness in his eyes, approaching inch by inch.
Xu Nanxing huddled in the corner, looking at the gradually enlarging face in horror, closing his eyes and shouting...
The tightening of the heart made her breath short. Xu Nanxing opened her eyes and suppressed the panic in her heart. She sat up and looked into the thick black night. There was nothingness there, which made people feel uncertain.
Thinking of everything in the dream, the loneliness in her heart gradually increased.
That was the second time she met Gu Huaizhi after graduation. That night, the family where she was tutoring had temporarily changed the time, and it was already very late after class. The villa area of Nanshan Villa is located very close to the outskirts of the city. It is built in a forest with few residents. The street lights on the road are dim and unclear, and the light cast in the forest is indescribably scary.
She followed the path all the way down the mountain, but was followed by a man who came out of nowhere.
She was scared and panicked, so she could only run as hard as she could in the direction down the mountain. There were stars of light shining in her sight, and she ran harder and harder.
The car stopped and she hurriedly tried to open the door, but it was locked tightly.
She begged, tears rolling down her face, but she opened the door in panic.
After hearing her address, the driver turned around and headed toward the city.
She didn't dare to look at the person next to her, but she could clearly see his silhouette in the reflection of the car window. The man rested his chin on his hand and looked out the window, wondering what he was thinking.
Sharp and cool.
He was not as gentle and soft as the first time she met him at school, but he was really the person in her heart...
With his eyes a little sore, Xu Nanxing sat in the darkness, thinking about the past, and felt that what Gu Huaizhi said was correct. Asking himself, he was indeed afraid of his jealousy and that it would affect his normal life.
I am indeed too selfish towards him.
After doing something like that, she still wanted him to let go of all the differences he had with her.
If she used the same method to get close to him this time, there would be no possibility for her and Gu Huaizhi in this life...
But if she could just watch her sister stand up without making any efforts, she couldn't do it.
Those past events from her childhood eventually became an obsession in her heart, so she agreed to Shen Ruzhen's conditions because of her mother's illness.
That's why she is so confused now.
Sitting there until the skylight rose from the edge of the city in the distance, and there were already the sounds of vendors selling goods outside the window, she finally felt like she was alive, and she gradually began to have concerns in her heart...
After resting at home for another week, Xu Nanxing was able to walk again.
During this period, Liu Lili called and asked about her situation. She didn't say much to explain. She just told her to take good care of herself before returning to the company to take classes.
Xu Nanxing thought that if Liu Lili knew that she was about to terminate the contract, she didn't know what she would think in her heart, but that wouldn't be important. What was important was that she would do what she must do.
The lock screen of her phone prompted a new notification on Weibo. She clicked on it to see the press conference video of Boya Films about "Dreams". Lin Qingying stands out among the actors. Although she is not the most beautiful, she has an excellent temperament and can be noticed at a glance.
Many shareholders of Boya Pictures attended the press conference, which showed that they attached great importance to the remake of "Dreams". Not surprisingly, she saw Gu Huaizhi in the video.
He was elegant and indifferent, obviously smiling, but his body posture showed that he was neither far nor close to the people around him.
Xu Nanxing watched the video and understood where Lin Qingying's inexplicable hostility towards her came from. She was very familiar with the look she was looking at Gu Huaizhi throughout the scene.
She saw her former self in those eyes.
Put down your phone and get on with your makeup.
After putting on makeup, Xu Nanxing looked at herself in the mirror. The peach pink makeup was attractive but not seductive. I got up and opened the closet, sifting through a row of clothes, and finally chose a black sloping shoulder dress. The thin skirt rippled between my legs, making my heart flutter just looking at it...
When he stood outside Nanshan Villa wearing such clothes, Xu Nanxing felt that he was really stupid.
Not to mention the swarms of insects, there are dense vegetation everywhere in Nanshan Villa, and at night the temperature is two degrees lower than the city temperature.
At this moment, she was so cold that she had goosebumps all over her body, and an evil wind came from nowhere on her back, making her feel chilly even in the joints of her bones.
She glanced at her phone and saw that it was almost eleven o'clock. She had been guarding the door of Gu's house since seven o'clock. It had been four or five hours now. Where was Gu Huaizhi's shadow?
According to his past temperament, unless there was something special, he would usually go back to Nanshan Villa to accompany Gu Yufei. I wonder if there was something special happening tonight?
The longer I wait, the little bits of courage in my heart become less and less.
In the end, even she felt that she was a bitch. Where was the energy she had when she said harsh words or slapped someone in the face? Now she is squatting here waiting for someone to come back. What else is it if she isn't bitch?
She took a few steps down the mountain, but when she thought of her current situation, her self-esteem was shattered again, and she moved back again.
After finding a place with leeward wind, she squatted down and curled up as much as possible to resist the mountain wind at night, but comforted herself in her heart, waiting for another half an hour. If Gu Huaizhi didn't show up after half an hour, then she would go back.
Gu Huaizhi was indeed delayed by something special.
After the press conference, there was a small gathering. It was rare for several shareholders of Boya to get together like this. The main reason was that Gu Huaizhi rarely appeared on such occasions, so everyone was in high spirits.
After drinking for three rounds, I don’t know which boss called some girls. He insisted on making everyone lively and play something different. The lights went out, the girls’ positions changed, and the bosses randomly selected them. Not only did they choose It can be combined with drinking and can be taken away after a while.
Gu Huaizhi was too lazy to play such low-level erotic games with them. As soon as the lights went out, he stood up and left the table.
After returning to Furong Residence and taking a shower, the doorbell rang.
He went downstairs and opened the door. A girl stood timidly at the door.
"Who are you?……"
"Mr. Wang asked me to come here."
While talking, the cell phone in his trouser pocket rang. Gu Huaizhi picked it up. The voice on the phone was the voice of Wang Yizhi, the shareholder of Boya Pictures.
"Huaizhi, I've brought it to you. The spring night is short, enjoy it, I won't go into details."
After speaking, Gu Huaizhi hung up the phone without waiting for a reply.
Gu Huaizhi put away the phone, frowned, and said to the girl,
"you can go now."
"Mr. Gu, I can't leave." The girl bit her lip with a sad look on her face, "If I leave tonight, Mr. Wang will definitely be angry with me, and I will never get another job in the future."
Gu Huaizhi raised his eyebrows.
"Okay, then just stay here."
The girl looked happy, thinking that with her own methods, she would be able to win over this man. Such a handsome and rich man was much better than those greasy uncles.
She turned sideways to enter the door, but saw the man duck out of the door and lock the door with a click.
"This is……"
"Don't you want to leave?" Gu Huaizhi had already walked down the steps, and the rest of his words gradually disappeared into the night, "If you are willing to wait, just wait at the door."
Walking out of the courtyard of Furong Residence, the housekeeper greeted him.
"Mr. Gu, do you want to go out? Do you need to arrange a car?"
Gu Huaizhi nodded towards the housekeeper, "It's troublesome."
The housekeeper responded and shouted on the intercom. After a while, a car passed by in the distance and stopped steadily in front of the two of them.
The butler stepped forward and opened the car door, holding his hand across the frame.
"Mr. Gu, please!"
Gu Huaizhi got into the car, told the driver the address of Nanshan Villa, and the car drove all the way there.
Jingzhou is still bustling with traffic and flashing neon lights at midnight.
The car passed through the city all the way to the suburbs where Nanshan Villa is located. From bustling to quiet, the two completely different atmospheres also made people feel different.
The driver followed Huaizhi's instructions and parked the car at the door of Gu's house.
Gu Huai got out of the car, but his eyes were attracted by a person squatting on the ground not far away.
What came into view was her exposed porcelain white complexion. She was squatting on the ground just enough to see the sides of her thighs exposed through the slits of her skirt. Dressed like this and squatting in front of his house in the middle of the night, it was probably Wang Yizhi and his gang. arranged by people.
Gu Huaizhi waved his hand, indicating to the driver that he could go back, and then walked towards the yard.
When he passed by the man, he didn't even glance at him. He opened the electronic lock and prepared to enter.
But he was stopped by a soft whisper.
"you are back?"
