After Gu Nian had pacified Jiang Xiaoqing and returned to Lin Xi, she noticed that Luo Xiu was looking down on his phone in his left hand. It seed like he was looking at so texts or phone log on his screen.
Gu Xi asked softly, "You have sothing to take care of?"
Luo Xiu looked up. The emotions disappeared in his eyes and were replaced by tenderness. "No, nothing. Just a ssage from a friend."
"Let's head over there now?"
"Mmm."
On the dimming screen on Luo Xiu's phone, there was only one ssage from a string of numbers that was not labeled:
[We have yet to found out the reason behind ngzhi's dropping out of school and retreating from the entertainnt circle. But we have found out these two pieces of information:
One. ngzhi was involved in a certain incident before she dropped out of school. The other party involved in the accident was Zheng Haolei, the young master of Dingke dia, the company that you had signed a 2-year temporary contract with.
Two. After ngzhi was fad from Enlighten , she had once signed a contract with Dingke dia as a professional singer. We are not able to verify the truthfulness of this. ngzhi did not have contract with any agency at the ti she retreated.]
Zheng. Hao. Lei.
Luo Xiu looked up a little. His eyes brimming with coldness.
He had very good mory, with the exception of nas. Most everyone's na and faces whom he was not interested in would be erased automatically in less than a day.
But he rembered this particular na.
Last month, while he was staying with the Demons' team, he had heard that na from Zhu Hanyu, his assistant, when they were talking about his first eting with Gu Nian when she was ngzhi.
[…… Didn't you tell when you first received the notebook that you two t for the first ti on July 31?]
[If you are talking about 2018, then that was the day that you signed with Dingke dia!]
[Brother Luo, I've heard it from Sister Anna. It was Dingke dia's young mater who accompanied you to the signing in person……]
Luo Xiu's eyes turned gloomy.
What happened inside of Dingke dia that year---
"Luo Xiu?"
"……"
The voice next to him pulled him back into reality all of a sudden. He lowered his eyes and saw Gu Nian looking at him blankly. "Do you not feel well? You didn't look well a minute ago."
Luo Xiu quickly closed and reopened his eyes and stashed away the emotions in his eyes. Chuckling softly, he said, "I'm fine. I just spaced out for a second there as I recalled sothing."
Gu Nian hesitated for a second and asked, "Is it sothing bad?"
"Why do you think that?"
"Because of your look earlier……"
Gu Nian stopped hesitantly.
She wasn't certain whether the unfamiliar Luo Xiu that she saw for a brief mont there that made her called out his na reflexively was her imagination or her overthinking it.
But, in that very mont, in that pair of dark brown eyes were very different from the tenderness that she was familiar with. In fact……
It was sothing drastically different.
Perhaps, that was just her imagination?
Gu Nian blinked, got rid of her worries, and put a smile back on herself. "It's nothing. An apprentice had already taken the reading that I had done for you for interpretation. We can just wait here for it!"
Luo Xiu eyes deepened. "Alright."
Gu Nian turned around. "But why isn't Xiaoqing here yet? She shouldn't have been very far from us––"
Before Gu Nian was done talking, a shadow ca straight at her. "Guru Gu Nian! We made it!"
Gu Nian was dumbfounded by the person jumping into her arms. She had to take half a step back to steady herself. "What did we make?"
Jiang Xiaoqing was so excitent that her face was flushed. She grabbed Gu Nian on her shoulders after she had gotten down from Gu Nian. "The script that was in negotiation last week. They said they have more or less made their decision and to have our team go over there and walk them through our outlines.!"
Gu Nian, too, was surprised to hear that. Her eyes curved. "That's great."
Jiang Xiaoqing, "Oh, how co you don't look excited at all? I was so excited that I ran around a tree a few tis when I heard the news from Yuanyuan!"
Gu Nian smiled.
Jiang Xiaoqing went on and on for a while before it suddenly dawned on Gu Nian to ask, "When did they want us to go over there?"
"Today. This afternoon! That's why Yuanyuan called . She said for us to head back right away."
"That much of a rush?" Gu Nian reflexively turned and looked behind her, "But, I still got to––"
Luo Xiu, standing a few steps behind her, heard the entire conversation.
Seeing Gu Nian's hesitation, he smiled gently at her. "Don't delay on your work because of ."
Gu Nian was hesitant. "But wouldn't you be bored waiting here by yourself for your interpretation?"
Luo Xiu smiled, "Do I look like a child to you?"
"……"
