This is so weird. Why does she have such a refusal to simply.. not sexually harass her every few seconds?

In mid-July, there was a grand charity evening event. Early in the morning, Lili notified Gu Xizhi to prepare for participation, and in the blink of an eye, the evening event was approaching.Since the last time Gu Xizhi and Qu Xizhi finished that disappointing scene, they often rehearsed before filming. After discussing some challenging scenes, their performance improved significantly. Jiangtu, at least more than once, praised Gu Xizhi for being in a great state on set. After receiving compliments, people usually become more passionate about their work. In any case, as the absolute protagonist of this film, Gu Xizhi devoted only four hours of time in the schedule solely for the charity evening event.Due to a tight schedule, Gu Xizhi arrived at the destination at 6 p.m. After getting off the plane, the organizers' staff came to pick her up. As soon as Gu Xizhi got into the car, a young female staff member said to her, "Miss Gu, good evening. Tonight, you and Miss Qu Xizhi will walk the red carpet with Mr. Lu Tianyi. The other two have confirmed without any issues. I assume you have no problem either, right?"Gu Xizhi's lips twitched, forcing herself to smile. "Of course not."The young female staff member immediately said, "Thank you, Miss Gu, for letting me win a bet. My colleague bet that you wouldn't walk the red carpet with Miss Qu.""Why would they think that?" Gu Xizhi made an effort to make her smile appear sweet and genuine. "Miss Qu and I are great partners."Facts have proven that speaking without a clear conscience invites retribution. Although there has indeed been some improvement in Gu Xizhi's relationship with Qu Xizhi recently, she despises any possibility of being compared to her.Gu Xizhi styled her hair in a side-swept curly hairstyle for the evening event. The naturally voluminous curls complemented her green lace-printed V-neck backless dress with exotic flair. However, when a person dresses beautifully but is constantly overlooked and gets asked about other people's affairs, Gu Xizhi's heartache resurfaced."Miss Gu Xizhi, there are reliable reports suggesting that there were political implications behind the replacement of the supporting actress in the upcoming film "Wangchuan River". What are your thoughts on this?""Miss Gu, why did Lin Mingling agree to act in a supporting role? And, by the way, are Miss Qu Xizhi and Lin Mingling truly close friends?""Miss Gu, Miss Qu Xizhi's boyfriend is rumored to be Mr. Ning Qiu, who played a crucial role in her rise to fame. What are your thoughts on this?" Various nonsensical and baseless questions were directed at Gu Xizhi as she stepped out of the car. Gu Xizhi couldn't answer or respond to them, so she simply smiled, pretending not to hear, and walked towards the red carpet area under the guidance of the staff.As a grand charity evening event with government support, it attracted not only entertainment celebrities but also wealthy businessmen. When Gu Xizhi arrived at the red carpet preparation area, she was not surprised to see Qu Xizhi wearing a black evening gown. Although Qu Xizhi's fashion style was simple and conventional, the lightweight swaying waistline of her dress looked dazzling on her perfectly proportioned body. Due to the need to walk the red carpet together, Gu Xizhi took a few steps towards her upon seeing her. However, when there was still a distance between them, a cold figure appeared beside Qu Xizhi. Gu Xizhi instantly recognized him from his stern demeanor—it was Ning Qiu. Observing Ning Qiu and Qu Xizhi lowering their heads to whisper, Gu Xizhi stopped in her tracks, not wanting to interrupt. At that moment, someone tapped her shoulder. Gu Xizhi turned around and saw Liang Youyou, who had already finished her scenes and left the set.Upon seeing Gu Xizhi, Liang Youyou mysteriously said, "I have news for you. Among the items being auctioned tonight, there is one that your cousin has been wanting for a year—the bridal costume worn by Dong Qingqing in 'Green Veil.' I'll do my best to help you win it."Gu Xizhi was initially stunned, but after processing the information, she was deeply moved and said, "I knew I could rely on you, my friend, for something trustworthy like this."Liang Youyou rolled her eyes at her and went to talk to another beauty.At 8 o'clock, the charity evening officially began. Following the schedule, Gu Xizhi walked the red carpet with Qu Xizhi and Lu Tianyi, the male second lead in the same production. They also did promotions for their TV drama in the interview area. After entering the venue, Gu Xizhi separated from Qu Xizhi due to the seating arrangements. Coincidentally, she found herself sitting next to Tang Yu, a male artist from the same company. Surprised to see him, Gu Xizhi exclaimed, "Mr. Tang Yu, what a coincidence."<div><h2><div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;">Source: <a href="https://www.jjwxc.net/onebook.php?novelid=1849307">https://www.jjwxc.net/onebook.php?novelid=1849307</a></div><div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;">This translation is originally posted on <a href="https://love4baihe.blogspot.com">https://love4baihe.blogspot.com</a> please read it there. and check out other stories too.</div><div> </div></h2></div>Tang Yu was dressed in a simple black shirt, and his tall figure made many actresses have to look up to converse with him."As luck would have it," he said, his dark pupils glistening, and his smile steady. "I specifically asked the organizers to seat me next to you."As Qu Xizhi sat down at the venue, she glanced up and happened to catch sight of Tang Yu, who was having a lively conversation with Gu Xizhi sitting beside her. At that moment, Ning Qiu, who was seated next to her, handed the auction catalog to Qu Xizhi and calmly said, "If there's something you want, you can let me know."Without even looking at the catalog, Qu Xizhi's gaze remained fixed on Tang Yu and didn't waver.The charity evening was announced to begin by a popular host. As the event aimed to support charity, there were no extravagant performances; it immediately transitioned into the auction proceedings. The costume that Gu Xizhi desired was the sixth item up for auction. Once she received the catalog for the item, Gu Xizhi's gaze lingered on that particular costume. Finally, after half an hour of the auction's start, the host announced the opening of the bidding for the sixth item. Without hesitation, Gu Xizhi raised her bidding paddle.The observant male host noticed Gu Xizhi's raised paddle and promptly said, "Miss Gu Xizhi, this item is contributed by three-time Golden Bronze Best Actress, Miss Dong Qingqing. The starting price is 30,000 yuan. May I ask for your bid?"Since there was no microphone in the seating area, Gu Xizhi extended her hand with the number "five" to the camera, smiling, and then put down her bidding paddle."Alright, Miss Gu Xizhi is willing to bid 50,000 yuan for this item. Are there any other guests present who would like to offer a higher bid than Miss Gu's?"After all, it was just a costume, unlike the jade pendants, calligraphy, and other collectibles that held value. Although Dong Qingqing was once a stunning beauty, the movie "Green Veil" did not generate as much buzz. While the attendees recognized the artistic value of the costume, few were willing to offer a higher price for it. The host had already started the countdown, and Gu Xizhi believed that the item was already within her grasp. However, just as Gu Xizhi was prepared to see the host's gavel fall, she noticed someone not far from her raising a paddle—it was Ning Qiu, seated next to Qu Xizhi.The host immediately asked, "Mr. Ning, you raised your paddle. May I know how much you're willing to bid for Miss Dong Qingqing's costume?"Ning Qiu remained silent but gestured with his hand. The host, somewhat surprised, said, "Mr. Ning Qiu is offering one million yuan for this costume?"Ning Qiu still did not speak; he simply nodded gently towards the camera.When this scene appeared on the big screen, the entire venue momentarily fell silent, but it quickly erupted with enthusiasm. At that moment, Gu Xizhi received a text message. Opening it, she saw Liang Youyou's name: "Although I sympathize with your little sister and wanted to help her, I can't handle it when Boss Ning enters the picture like this. Despair!"Gu Xizhi put away her phone, but the discussion in the room continued unabated. She looked up at the vibrant red bridal costume displayed on stage and thought of her younger cousin.Her cousin wasn't infatuated with Dong Qingqing, but she had a special fondness for the film "Green Veil" that Gu Xizhi starred in. A year ago, when her cousin was admitted to the hospital for leukemia treatment, she calmly told Gu Xizhi that she would die without regrets if she could wear the costume from "Green Veil" on her wedding day. Gu Xizhi had contacted Dong Qingqing, who had already immigrated overseas, but received a firm answer that the item was not for sale. Now, although she didn't know why Dong Qingqing decided to auction it, when Gu Xizhi saw the costume, her determination was to obtain it for her little cousin.The high price made Gu Xizhi hesitate and waver. Just as she was caught in her conflicting thoughts, Tang Yu, sitting on her left, said, "If Miss Gu likes this costume, I'll give it to you."Gu Xizhi was taken aback, but as she looked up, she saw Tang Yu raising his bidding paddle and making a gesture towards the host.The host, seemingly surprised by Tang Yu's gesture, paused for a moment before saying, "Mr. Tang Yu, are you bidding two million yuan?"The camera focused on Tang Yu at that moment, and on the big screen, his black shirt exuded a sense of gentlemanly elegance. He nodded at the host and then lowered his bidding paddle."Alright, Mr. Tang Yu is bidding two million yuan for Miss Dong Qingqing's bridal costume. Is there anyone else in the audience willing to offer a higher price?" The previously calm auction room seemed to be growing more lively, and the host's words were immediately followed by conversations among the attendees. In the slightly noisy environment, Ning Qiu raised his paddle once again, indicating a bid of three million.This move undoubtedly heightened the atmosphere in the room. Faced with the rapid increase of one million after another, Gu Xizhi found it difficult to cope and hurriedly said to Tang Yu, "Mr. Tang Yu, let it go. It's not that important to me. Let Mr. Ning Qiu have it."Tang Yu smiled and didn't respond. He simply raised his paddle again."Five million! Mr. Tang Yu is bidding five million yuan. Is there anyone else in the audience willing to offer a higher price?"Almost as soon as the host's words fell, Ning Qiu raised his paddle once more. The host heard the offer from the staff through the earpiece and confidently declared, "Seven million! Seven million! Mr. Ning Qiu is willing to bid seven million. Is there anyone else willing to offer a higher price?"This situation was something Gu Xizhi had never anticipated. While the event was for charity, the bid of seven million yuan far exceeded the previous items, making it exceptionally special."Mr. Tang Yu," Gu Xizhi looked at Tang Yu earnestly, "I really appreciate what you're doing, but even if you were to give it to me, I wouldn't accept something that comes at such a high cost. Let's not compete any longer.""It's alright," Tang Yu said gently, "I'm glad this money can be donated to charity."The conversation between the two became whispered in the camera's view. The scene of Gu Xizhi talking to Tang Yu appeared on the big screen, and because of Tang Yu's previous paddle raising, the focus remained on the two of them. Many people had already speculated that Tang Yu had bid for the costume to win a smile from a beautiful woman, as a costume meant for a woman held little significance to a man like him.The camera lingered on the scene for too long, and Qu Xizhi glanced at the big screen before turning to Zhao Ling, the director of Huayu International, beside her. She asked, "Didn't you say last time that Tang Yu had given up on pursuing Xiao Jing?"Zhao Ling glanced at Tang Yu and Gu Xizhi's direction and casually replied, "Tang Yu is close to terminating his contract. I can't control him."As the conversation unfolded, the entire venue erupted once again. The image of Tang Yu raising his bidding paddle appeared on the big screen, and the host, with great enthusiasm, observed his gesture and said, "Eight million, eight hundred and eighty-eight thousand yuan. Mr. Tang Yu is willing to bid eight million, eight hundred and eighty-eight thousand. Is there anyone else in the audience willing to offer a higher price?"At this stage, everyone understood Tang Yu's intention with his bidding. Even if some had initially wanted to join in for fun, they didn't want to spoil the good deed for others. As a result, there was silence in the room, and the host waited for a moment before raising the auction hammer."Eight million, eight hundred and eighty-eight thousand, going once.""Eight million, eight hundred and eighty-eight thousand, going twice!""Eight million, eight hundred and eighty-eight thousand, th—"Before the last sentence could be completed, another bidding paddle was raised in the crowd. The camera focused on Qu Xizhi, and her assistant, standing behind her, relayed the number to the staff. The number quickly reached the host's ears through the earpiece. The host's voice became more excited upon hearing the number, and it was noticeably louder.There was a clamor and continuous discussion in the venue."What's so good about this dress? What are they fighting over?""Actually, it's Gu Xizhi who really wants this item, right? It's clear that Tang Yu is trying to win her favor. But I heard that Gu Xizhi and Qu Xizhi's relationship has somewhat improved during filming. Why would they compete over something and strain their relationship now?""The relationship between Ning Qiu and Qu Xizhi is extraordinary. Ning Qiu wants this item, but it wouldn't be appropriate for him to compete with a male celebrity. Qu Xizhi's intervention would help ease the situation."Various discussions filled the venue. Gu Xizhi glanced at Qu Xizhi on the big screen and immediately said to Tang Yu, "Mr. Tang Yu, forget it. I really don't want this dress anymore. Don't argue with them. Both of them are people who treat money like paper. There's no need to compete with them."Tang Yu gestured for Gu Xizhi to calm down and then raised his bidding paddle. His casual demeanor sharply contrasted with the host's enthusiastic tone when announcing "twelve million."At this point, the atmosphere in the room had shifted from enthusiastic to eerie. After Tang Yu finished his bid, almost everyone's gaze turned directly towards Qu Xizhi. It was evident that Qu Xizhi didn't disappoint anyone. As soon as Tang Yu lowered his paddle, Qu Xizhi raised hers once again.This time, the staff members were already waiting by Qu Xizhi's side for her bid. As soon as they heard her announce the number, they immediately relayed it to the host through their earpieces. The host, momentarily stunned upon hearing the number, continued with the same enthusiastic tone, "Miss Qu Xizhi is willing to offer 18,880,000 yuan to acquire this auction item. Is there anyone in the audience willing to bid higher?"Although the host's words were inviting, their gaze was fixed straight towards Gu Xizhi and Tang Yu. As Tang Yu's hand was about to touch the bidding paddle, Gu Xizhi's hand, resting under the table, firmly pressed down on his hand, and she smiled and shook her head when the close-up shot followed.Actors have a way of making a scene with countless hidden undertones seem light and carefree. Gu Xizhi's elegant and composed smile in front of the close-up camera made it difficult to discern her true emotions. Seeing that Gu Xizhi had no intention of continuing her bid, the host, with a suspenseful tone, picked up the auction gavel and said, "18,880,000 yuan once.""18,880,000 yuan twice!""18,880,000 yuan three times! Congratulations to Miss Qu Xizhi for acquiring the bridal costume worn by actress Dong Qingqing in the film 'Green Veil'!"With the sound of the gavel, the exciting bidding came to an end. The host invited Qu Xizhi to come on stage, take a photo with the item, and deliver a charity speech. Gu Xizhi, looking at Qu Xizhi shining under the spotlight, picked up her bag directly and stood up to leave the venue.Her manager, Lili, saw Gu Xizhi about to leave and hurriedly intercepted her from the entrance of the red carpet. "Xiao Jing, didn't we agree to attend the event as promised by the organizers? Leaving like this at the last minute will upset them."Gu Xizhi ignored her and continued walking with a gloomy expression towards the exit.The venue for the charity event was located on the top floor of a hotel. After leaving the venue, Gu Xizhi went directly to the elevator. During the long wait, Lili continued to persuade her, "Xiao Jing, the flight is in two hours. It doesn't make sense to leave now!"Gu Xizhi simply looked at the elevator buttons and patiently waited, not uttering a word in response to Lili's remarks.Lili knew this was the rhythm of anger and was thinking about how to salvage the situation. Then, she looked up and saw the tall and slender Qu Xizhi, dressed in a black evening gown, coming out of the venue. Her eyes brightened instantly. "Miss Qu, you came at the right time. Please convince Xiao Jing to stay. Otherwise, Director Zhao will scold me to death."As soon as she heard the words "Miss Qu," Gu Xizhi didn't even wait for the elevator. She simply walked straight towards the hallway. Qu Xizhi watched Gu Xizhi walking towards the hallway and immediately chased after her.Both of them were wearing high heels, and their speed was not particularly fast on the hotel's marble floor. Qu Xizhi, who had better control over high heels, caught up to Gu Xizhi and grabbed her hand to stop her. "Xiao Jing, the event is not over yet. Where are you going?"Gu Xizhi shook off her hand and impatiently said, "Miss Qu Xizhi, please understand that we are at most just professional collaborators. I don't need you to interfere with where I'm going."Qu Xizhi was momentarily stunned and then calmly said, "Fine, I won't ask where you're going. But the event is only halfway through, and if you leave now, the media will make a big fuss about it. From your own perspective, I think you should stay a little longer.""Stay a little longer?" Gu Xizhi slowly raised her head and looked at her. A sarcastic smile appeared on her deep red lips. "Stay longer and watch you and your Mr. Ning work together to snatch other people's auction items?""Xiao Jing," Qu Xizhi said seriously, "It's not what you think. Ning Qiu and I are just...""I don't care about what's going on between you and him," Gu Xizhi interrupted her. "Do you even know that I had a genuine need for that item? Although we have the equal right to compete for the same item, I had already raised my bidding paddle. If there wasn't a significant reason, I thought you would consider the company's reputation and let me have it. But instead of backing off, you and Ning Qiu kept pressuring me. Yes, I admit that compared to you, I can't match your wealth, which makes you think you can bully others so arrogantly.""Xiao Jing, please calm down," Qu Xizhi explained. "I bid for that costume not for any other reason, but because I didn't want Tang Yu to acquire it and give it to you.""Enough, Qu Xizhi! What makes Tang Yu, an ordinary person, so special that a top-tier superstar like you has to target him specifically? In the past, when people talked about problems between you and Ning Qiu, I never believed them. But after today, I completely believe it. I was foolish to think that you came to film with me because you genuinely wanted to be friends. I was naive to trust your words. You haven't changed at all from before. You still love snatching things away from me and taking everything I care about. I not only dislike you, I detest you. You're utterly repulsive!"The words of criticism felt like invisible, piercing needles that struck directly at the listeners' heart. Gu Xizhi's overwhelming anger clouded her judgment. It seemed that expressing these vile words would bring some relief, but once she finished speaking, she regretted it.Seeing Qu Xizhi's bewildered expression, Gu Xizhi suddenly remembered a few days ago when she was almost hit by a camera on set. It was Qu Xizhi who shielded her and protected her from harm.All this time, everything she had done was to try and mend their relationship. Except for this inexplicable day, if she had to say someone was detestable and repulsive, it would be the other people around her.Conscience pricked Gu Xizhi's heart, and she tried to speak, "I..."But before she could finish her words of apology, her lips were suddenly kissed. For the first two seconds, Gu Xizhi couldn't comprehend what was happening. And when she finally understood, her shoulders were tightly embraced by Qu Xizhi.The shock, astonishment, and incomprehension overwhelmed Gu Xizhi as Qu Xizhi passionately kissed her. But in the same moment, Gu Xizhi gathered her strength and forcefully pushed her away, delivering a slap across her face. "You're insane!" she exclaimed before turning around and walking away.
