_____
After spending a whole day recording songs, Anda and Liang Huan took Gu Xizhi to meet the general director of the party in the evening. This program director was in his forties and had relatively conservative ideas. Although Liang Huan and Anda strongly recommended her, Gu Xizhi's acceptance was only reluctant.
In his impression, Gu Xizhi was just an actress. Although she had sung before, she was completely an idol singer who acted and sang and only relied on post-production to make up for her shortcomings. She was far from comparable to the Queen Liang Huan.
Fortunately, he finally agreed to let Gu Xizhi give it a try, and no one knew about the program of the party until the last minute.
A few days later.
Holiday event audition.
Hundreds of LED lifts and wide rear projections made the entire stage look majestic. The first round of screening for the singing and dancing group was after 7 p.m. Gu Xizhi, wearing a black windbreaker and a duckbill cap, was sitting in the corner eating. During dinner, Tang Yu sat on the side and accompanied her, reading a magazine while many actors in the background were undergoing intense makeup preparations.
On the stage, a very popular female singer is performing. Before entering the studio, Gu Xizhi was amazed by the number of fans waiting downstairs. Gu Xizhi has also heard her songs before, but her albums and live performances are quite different.
The director is impatient. The female singer only sang half of the song and was replaced. The manager probably argued with him all the way and continued to chatter backstage.
"Our Xiao Yi's current popularity is definitely not inferior to that of the kings and queens of the finale. Even if her singing performance is not stable enough, we can still practice. Besides, there are so many real singers, and it doesn't matter if we lip-sync. Director, you need to be flexible for the show's effect."
"Are you kidding me? You have to lip-sync at such a big event? Do you think all the singers in our great country who can sing have died?"
"Director, it's so harsh for you to talk like this. If you don't know how to adapt and attract young artists, the party will not be a success! Moreover, this must be due to sound issues this time. Xiao Yi has always been great before! If you don't believe it, you can watch the next singer's performance!"
Coincidentally, at this moment, the broadcast urged the next group of performers to go on stage. Gu Xizhi looked at the manager and director. The director and manager also looked at her. Quickly, Gu Xizhi put down her boxed meal and walked forward.
"Wait a moment." The director looked at Gu Xizhi who was about to go on stage, as if he was afraid that she would create a scene, providing evidence that the sound was indeed problematic. He stopped her and said, "Wait a bit longer before going up. Let Sang Xue go first."
"Director, Sang Xue was just called out."
This information made the director's face become a little sad. After looking around the backstage of the studio, the director cleared his throat, lowered his voice, and said to Gu Xizhi, "Sing well.
Gu Xizhi looked at him and then glanced at the manager, who had been arguing with him. She slightly raised her lips and said, "Got it."
Although this kind of program audition does not have stage effects at all, when the long-lost lights came down, Gu Xizhi still felt that everything in front of her was too familiar and beautiful.
She had been working in a recording studio all along, but performing under the dazzling spotlight was the most satisfying experience.
The sound engineer in the control room imported her accompaniment into the digital mixer, and Gu Xizhi sent a signal to the speakers. The huge studio hall was soon enveloped in the elegant and intoxicating melody of C major.
There was no one in the audience, and the rows of empty seats were as silent as if there was no soul. Gu Xizhi held the microphone in her hand and let out her voice, her eyes fell quietly into the distance, her expression serene under the cap's brim.
"You look back, furrowing your brows, time locking the hourglass. Let sorrow and joy turn, and I fall into a deep trench."
….
"It's a premonition that I can't finish this step. How can I cry without pain? The path ahead is despair."
….
The singing on the stage seemed to penetrate the entire studio. The beautiful voice made it seem as if it shouldn't come from a beautiful female singer. Liang Huan used a lot of pharyngeal voice singing in this song. It was originally thought to be the most soulful way of expression, but when sung with such a powerful technique, it became a whole new sensory experience. Her voice is very bright, like glass that can reflect sunlight. Most importantly, the part of the song that was most likely to go wrong in the first half was sung extremely steady making the previous performer look quite bad.
When she first came on stage, the director kept clasping his hands and seemed nervous. However, after the first half of the song, the director relaxed obviously. When she sang the chorus, the director looked at the manager just now with victorious provocation.
Finally, that manager left with his artist before Gu Xizhi's song ended. When she returned to the backstage from the stage, Gu Xizhi was confident in her performance.
So the director's unexpected approval when he looked at her was within her expectations."I take back what I said earlier. You're not just an idol singer."
Gu Xizhi said without arrogance or impatience, "Thank you."
The director added, "Wait for the rehearsal notice, but I can't guarantee you'll make it to the end. After all, there are many good performances."
"Thank you for the opportunity you gave me, I will make the most of it."
It was extremely cold at night in December. After going out, Gu Xizhi put on a thick tweed coat and a scarf and didn't take it off until she got in the car.
After getting in the car, Tang Yu started the engine and said, "It's good to develop well in music, it seems much smoother than movies right now. Do you really have to go to great lengths to act in movies?"
"Do you think I run several kilometers every day and read those music scores without eating or drinking because I like music?" Gu Xizhi took off her hat, straightened her short, fluffy hair, and then took off her hollow earrings in front of the mirror. She looked at him with a smile and said, "I admit that music was once something sacred and desirable thing for me. But only because it proves that I'm not completely useless, it's just a tool. I don't think it would be so honorable for someone who loves movies to become a generation's diva one day. If you love playing the violin but heaven only grants you a talent for playing the piano, would you consider it lucky?"
Tang Yu just held the steering wheel and looked at the road ahead, "Do you like movies that much?"

"Once." Gu Xizhi turned around and stared straight ahead, her dark pupils shining in the darkness. She always really liked standing in front of the camera and feeling the joy, anger, and sorrow of the characters, but not anymore."
So you're just doing this now because you're not happy?"
Gu Xizhi remained silent for a moment, then turned to look at his profile. "I don't like it because I haven't earned the right to like it yet."
"Okay." Tang Yu glanced at her and said belatedly, "Ara will have a birthday party in a few days. Scarlett Li is among the invitees. Tian Youlan said that you should go with He Xue then. Don't talk about the movie. Just leave a good impression."
"I know." Gu Xizhi's expression was very calm.
There had been a light rain the night before, and the streets were washed away by the rain. The plane trees on both sides of the road stood tall, and the city's winding elevated highways looked cold and colorless.
The weather had been gloomy all day, and in the evening fine snowflakes started to drift. The road was particularly congested during the end of working hours. Fortunately, the snowy evening turned everything into a scenic view. Gu Xizhi passed the time by chatting with He Xue.
It was rumored that Zhong Linshan owned numerous properties in this city, and her residence was the most luxurious among them.
At six o'clock, it was completely dark. The car stopped outside the mansion, and the hosts warmly welcomed them as soon as they saw the guests. Gu Xizhi entered the villa dominated by a golden color scheme with He Xue. Shortly after entering the room, her metallic earring was gently tugged by some force. Gu Xizhi turned around and saw Liang Youyou looking at her in surprise.
"Ghost, is it really you?!"
This exclamation wasn't very loud but also not hushed, and it drew the attention of people inside the room. However, many of them were still uncertain about Gu Xizhi's appearance when they saw the person standing at the entrance.
She was wearing a golden short skirt and matching high heels, and her short, fluffy hair held two sparkling earrings. Compared to many of the elegant and sweetly dressed female guests present, her outfit seemed bold and highly fashionable. Most importantly, she had cut her hair short, but it didn't look bad; instead, it gave her a more sophisticated look than before.
Gu Xizhi avoided countless gazes, took Liang Youyou's hand, and walked to the corner before saying, "I'm here to find Scarlett Li and I'll leave in a moment."
"Ghost, you didn't even tell me when you returned to the country. Do you know that you're just a ghost now?"
Gu Xizhi looked up at her, not bothering to argue at all, and just said, "I will invite you out when I have time and let you scold me properly. It's not the right occasion here."
"Tomorrow."
"I'm not free tomorrow."
"Ghost!"
Gu Xizhi looked directly at her glaring gaze and wanted to step back and promise her tomorrow, but the noise behind her and Liang Youyou's shifting gaze made her remain silent and turn around.
Two women entered the door. The woman on the left was wearing a bright red cheongsam and a white mink fur coat. She had her hair in a classic style and her twelve-centimeter high heels made her look very sexy. She is tall and slender because she has one-eighth of foreign blood. Although her clothes are very Chinese, they lack the classical charm. Nevertheless, she was extraordinarily beautiful, breathtaking from every angle. Even though her style didn't quite suit the cheongsam, it still made her look stunning.
Gu Xizhi's eyes withdrew from her and fell on her side.
The other person was wearing a black evening gown. The color was very pure, fitting a formal attire. Since the hem of the gown was made of delicate and lively yarn, the whole dress did not look so dull. This was probably because the owner of the dress had a cooler look. Her eyes looked a little pale, and even though she smiled so brightly that it was difficult to look directly at her, she still made people feel a little aloof and inaccessible.
It wasn't about her appearance, but rather her temperament.
"If you could describe the two of them in four words, what would you choose?"
A girl behind them spoke, and Gu Xizhi withdrew her gaze, then heard another girl say, "Stunning, it's almost cheating."
Another girl said, "A very perfect couple."
The girl who asked the question laughed and said, "You mean a pair of bitches."
"Oh, you're talking about Ara, haha, today is her birthday, don't do that."
"The one surnamed Qu is not much better. She forced two sisters to break off their relationship. She actually thinks she's as clean as her public image."
"Ahem, please don't say that. Both of them are models of Asian golden facial ratios. Aren't you afraid people will say you're jealous?"
"Let them say it. Can I change the fact that they're bitches?"
While these girls were still chatting and joking, Gu Xizhi looked at the pendant on her bag, then turned her head towards the girl who was talking.
Seeing her turn around, Liang Youyou immediately grabbed her. "Even Guanyin Bodhisattva has people criticizing her. Everyone has someone talking behind their backs. Just pretend you didn't hear it. Plus, it's not your business. I'll take you to meet my new boyfriend."
Gu Xizhi looked at Liang Youyou, pushed down her hand on her arm, and walked straight toward the girls.
The girls were chatting enthusiastically when they suddenly saw Gu Xizhi standing menacingly in front of them, and they all looked surprised.
"Do you need something?" The girl who had been insulting others happened to speak.
Gu Xizhi looked directly at her and said, "Apologize."
The girl looked somewhat perplexed and asked, "Apologize for what? And what's with that expression? Are you looking for trouble?"
Gu Xizhi's cold eyes swept across her heavily made-up face, she slowly lifted the clutch bag and showed her the pendant on the bag.
"I'll give you thirty seconds. If you don't apologize, you'll regret it."
The girl looked at the pendant on her bag inexplicably. She was very tough at first, but when Gu Xizhi picked up the strange pendant to adjust something, not only the girl but also the other girls next to her were a little surprised.
In the corner, the recording kept fast-forwarding, and within moments, they heard their voices on the recording device.
"If you could describe the two of them in four words, what would you choose?"
"Stunning, it's almost cheating."
"A very perfect couple."
"You mean a couple of bitches."
….
The girl looked at the voice recorder in her hand and gradually became surprised, "You must be crazy to bring something like that around."
"I don't see why you should be bothered. But exposing this may not be great for a public figure like you." Gu Xizhi put away the recording device. "So, do you want to apologize now?"
The girl had an angry look on her face, but when she saw the thing in her hand, her confidence dropped a lot.
Gu Xizhi raised her brows.
The girl avoided her gaze and said as if she was unlucky, "Okay, I was wrong, I shouldn't have insulted people casually.
"More." Gu Xizhi crossed her arms and looked at her. "
"Okay." The girl was forced to resist emotionally, "I won't insult those I just insulted again. Is that enough?"
Gu Xizhi looked at her for a few seconds and did not continue to push her. She only glanced at the person next to her lightly, turned, and walked away.
Liang Youyou stared at her dumbfounded, and it took a long time before she followed her.
"Hey, do you carry a voice recorder with you to take revenge on society?"
"Hey hey hey, don't walk so fast!"
Although Liang Youyou caught up with Gu Xizhi, no matter how she persuaded, she still sat quietly in the corner, showing no intention of blending into the banquet.
Scarlett Li arrived very late, half an hour after the dinner had started, Gu Xizhi finally waited for her to appear. At that time, everyone was intoxicated, and many celebrities greeted her warmly upon her arrival.
Gu Xizhi sat in the corner for another half hour, but during this half hour, the people around her were as dense as a honeycomb. Even if she wanted to create an accidental encounter, she probably had to say hello to the "human shields" first.
The night was quiet, snowflakes were falling outside the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and the entire banquet hall was filled with soothing dance music. The host accompanied the guests with drink after drink, but the guests on the dance floor were getting drunk without drinking.
An hour had passed, and even Scarlett Li looked a little drunk. Gu Xizhi looked at the time and sent another text message to Liang Youyou:
Please keep an eye on Li for me while I go to the restroom.
The other party quickly replied:
Understood.
After coming to the restroom, Gu Xizhi touched up her makeup, took out some coins from her handbag, and then returned to the banquet hall.
Although the hall was still filled with music and dance, in just a short while, Scarlett Li had already moved from her previous position.
Gu Xizhi was about to send a text message to Liang Youyou to ask, but a text message message sounded in her handbag. Gu Xizhi took out her phone, opened her inbox, and saw a line of small words sent by Liang Youyou:
Li is on the second floor now, come over.
Gu Xizhi put her phone away, scanned the hall, and quickly made her way to the staircase. She climbed the high-quality mahogany stairs.
The second floor was still large and empty, and the lighting in most of the space was not very good. Gu Xizhi took a few steps and quickly began to doubt the message she had just received. She called Liang Youyou and as soon as the call was answered, asked, "Where is she?"
"On the second floor, go left towards the garden, there's a loft. Head left first."
"Left..." Gu Xizhi looked back at the location she had climbed from and then retraced her steps to the other side of the corridor.
The sound of someone going upstairs near the corridor made Gu Xizhi pause. She quickly retreated to the wall.
"Ara, are you upstairs?"
A voice tinged with drunkenness sounded. It was an unfamiliar yet familiar voice to Gu Xizhi.
Gu Xizhi became nervous and immediately hung up the phone and took a few steps back.
Although the high heels made no sound on the thick cashmere carpet, she could feel the footsteps approaching. Gu Xizhi leaned back and carefully turned the doorknob.
The door was unlocked, so Gu Xizhi opened it and quickly retreated into the room, hiding behind the door.
Because the hallway was carpeted, it was difficult to hear any movement from outside. After waiting for a while without any sign of anyone, Gu Xizhi was about to open the door when her phone rang.
She looked at the lit phone screen in the darkness, quickly turned it off, and walked towards the indoor balcony.
But before she could hide even more secretly, there was a knock on the door.
"Ara, are you in here?"
As the words fell, she pushed open the door and entered.
Although the light outside the house is dim, Gu Xizhi looked at the door from the moment it opened to when it closed, and the silhouette of Qu Xizhi became clear yet blurry. Her feet instinctively stepped back, and her body almost pressed against the wall.
"Ara?'
In the darkness, she seemed to be searching for the light switch, but soon, her actions ceased in confusion due to the effects of alcohol. She then walked towards the balcony.
There was a wooden object near the bed. When Gu Xizhi just walked over, she almost tripped over the thing. When she felt Qu Xizhi walking past the bed, she almost subconsciously wanted to remind her to be careful, but no sound came from her open mouth.
Maybe it was because Zhong Linshan's birthday really made her happy. Qu Xizhi drank a lot of wine. When she was downstairs, she saw her and Zhong Linshan toasting to the guests several times. Her flushed face and exuberant emotions were dazzling under the lights.
In the past, she didn't like to take the initiative to drink. And she seemed to be incapable of getting drunk.
After all, it was still dark indoors, and she was drunk. As she passed the wooden obstacle, Qu Xizhi didn't even try to avoid it and ended up falling onto the cashmere carpet.
She only made a slight sound of pain when she fell. Gu Xizhi watched the blurry shadow in the darkness and took a subconscious step forward, seemingly wanting to help her.
This movement only lasted one step. Gu Xizhi looked at the blurry shadow quietly, clasping her hands tightly behind her back, and her body pressed even closer to the wall.
Qu Xizhi only stayed on the ground for a moment and quickly lifted herself over that wooden obstacle.
"Ara, what are you doing?
She is getting closer and closer to her.
Gu Xizhi looked at the blurry shadow and was so nervous that she could hardly breathe.
Although she knew that she seemed drunk and the room was dark, she might not see her, but when she saw her walking towards her step by step, Gu Xizhi still felt that it would be better if she could get closer to the wall.
Her body kept trying to avoid her, and Gu Xizhi seemed to wish she had the power to walk through walls. She really couldn't breathe for a long time.
Qu Xizhi moved forward, groping step by step, but still passed Gu Xizhi and continued to move forward.
Hearing her voice walking in front of her, Gu Xizhi seemed to have received some kind of amnesty and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just when she was taking a breath...
"Got you."
Her right hand was gently held, and Qu Xizhi's voice appeared very close to her ear.
The two bodies touched each other, and Gu Xizhi was like a frightened bird. She immediately withdrew her hand, but even though Qu Xizhi had not taken a step forward, her waist was encircled by soft arms.
Qu Xizhi hugged her from behind and gently placed her chin on her right shoulder, "Why are you running, huh?”
The scent of a pleasantly thick perfume mixed with the smell of alcohol enveloped Gu Xizhi. The familiar smell made Gu Xizhi feel dazed for a while. She thought that the person behind her would definitely expect for an answer to her question. However, after agonizing for a long time and failing to make a sound, she realized that the other person had no intention of having her respond.
The air was very quiet as if one could hear the sound of snowflakes falling through a window. The room was dark, and Gu Xizhi stood quietly, her body turned so stiff that she couldn't even breathe.
Although she originally didn't want to be discovered by her, now that the matter had come to this, she still wanted to explain as soon as possible that Qu Xizhi mistook her for the wrong person. However, after such a long time, she just hugged her and did nothing or said anything, as if a single hug could replace everything.
She was quiet as if she didn't exist.
Gu Xizhi felt her breath quietly and gradually began to feel that she might be too drunk. After a while, she might be able to help her rest and then quietly leave, as if nothing had happened.
The hands on her waist had no strength at all, and the weight of the other party's body did not allow her to bear too much. Because her back was turned to her, she couldn't see what the other person was doing. She waited for a long time then she finally tried to push her away because she couldn't speak.
As her hands touched hers and she tried to gently pry them apart, the other person tightened her grip on her hands. But just this action, there was no further adjustment in her posture, as if any change would disturb someone's dream.
Gu Xizhi didn't move anymore, as if she was afraid that her actions would bring her trouble. She seemed to feel that the familiar hug behind her was actually so gentle, so gentle that it seemed to heal everything.
She didn't know how long it took, but it seemed that the embrace had become an eternal gesture, and a sound lighter than the air sounded in her ears. It was very low and extremely gentle.
"That wedding dress is very beautiful. You will look beautiful in it. I will buy it for you, okay?"
She was talking about them.
Gu Xizhi remained silent.
The premise of all concealment was silence. She had no choice but to remain silent.
Qu Xizhi, however, didn't ask for a response. She spoke quietly, "I prepared your birthday gift for three months. At first, they all said you wouldn't like it, but I thought, how could they know you better than I do? I know what my girl is thinking, don't you think so?"
She whispered softly, countless words that Gu Xizhi couldn't even understand.
Gu Xizhi closed her eyes and let her tell her feelings for another woman in her ear, no matter how affectionate as if it were an imaginary drama.
The snow outside the window seemed to be falling heavier and heavier, raging like a warm oath of eternal love. The north wind whined by, destroying the fragile branches in the garden again and again. This windy and snowy night is so quiet, yet so wild.
Gu Xizhi was already numb, unable to hear her voice.
Until she hugged her and whispered:
"So, do you love me?"
Do you love me?
As if being stung by these words, Gu Xizhi slowly opened her eyes in the darkness, and in front of her was Qu Xizhi, who was deeper than the black hole. She tightened her left hand, found her hand with her right hand, and held it gently, and held it next to her ear. Saying softly, "Love me like a bottomless pit."
Qu Xizhi tightened her left hand, and gently found the other with her right hand, and softly said in her ear, "If you love me, then hold my hand, okay?"
Her voice is as light as snowflakes, like the breeze, like a pure carol. She was acting affectionately like another person.
Gu Xizhi stood quietly as if a spell had been cast on her body, unable to move or escape.
Qu Xizhi held her tightly, her voice even more affectionate, "Okay, hm?"
Her heart ached as if being pulled by something. Gu Xizhi closed her eyes, her fingertips lifted a few times but then hung down weakly.
This is a ridiculous game, she is waiting for another person to confess to her.
Gu Xizhi had no way to make such a move.
The wind came in through the unclosed window, and it was bitingly cold.
There was a stalemate in the room for a long time without anyone speaking, and the air seemed to have turned to ice.
Qu Xizhi waited for a long time.
She waited for a long, long time.
Finally, as if she couldn't wait any longer, she whispered, "But I love you."
There was a violent snowstorm outside just across the window.
Large swaths of snowflakes fell on the ground and quickly condensed into ice, and the air was so cold that it could freeze any enthusiasm.
Gu Xizhi looked at the dark space quietly, her face seemed to change slightly, but soon, this change became extremely stiff due to the sound that followed.
"Ara," she whispered in her ear.
"Happy birthday."
More and more icy air lifted the heavy curtains at one corner, and through the beautiful glass, several Christmas tree model lights made the snowflakes colorful. It seemed that a few snowflakes were blowing into the room with the wind. Gu Xizhi's eyes hurt from the cold wind, and she couldn't help but slowly close them.
Something cooled in the air, gradually becoming as cold as snow. Qu Xizhi tightened her arms around her again, her breath gently brushing her slender neck.
The warm breath on her neck sent shivers down Gu Xizhi's spine.
As if she only now realized that such an atmosphere was too sensitive for a couple, Gu Xizhi placed her hands on top of Qu Xizhi's hands to push her away. However, as she was in the middle of the action, Qu Xizhi suddenly released her. Just as Gu Xizhi was about to figure out what she was doing, a close breath appeared right in front of her.
There was no perceivable light in the darkness, but what Gu Xizhi least wanted to happen happened in this environment.
Her lips slowly came down, and her breath was filled with the bitter smell of alcohol.
There is no biting wind, and no lovely snowflakes drifting in. Her blood seemed to freeze, and her limbs became numb. Gu Xizhi couldn't endure the delicate kisses on her lips, as if every time her lips gently touched her, something sharp was slashing her body like a torturous ordeal.
Gu Xizhi pushed Qu Xizhi away with all her strength and turned around, paying no mind to her knees knocking against some blunt object or the falls she took. She acted as if she was dedicated to escaping something terrifying, looking disheveled and hysterical.
There were no more movies or directors at all. Gu Xizhi stumbled all the way downstairs, not caring about the surprised looks of some people or the purpose of coming here tonight. She looked like she was so frightened by something huge that she stumbled out of the villa.
She didn't know why she came here, she shouldn't have.
She thought she could fear nothing.
Liang Youyou, who had been looking for her for a long time, saw her running out of the villa and immediately put away her phone and picked up her coat to catch up. The temperature outside was not as good as indoors. After searching for a while, Liang Youyou's hands and feet were freezing from the cold. She was about to get in the car to find her when, with a glance, she saw her in the garden.
"You're crazy." Liang Youyou looked at Gu Xizhi, who was standing in the snow wearing only a short skirt and leaning against the wall, with an extremely ugly expression on her face, "Do you know what kind of weather this is? Did you really become capable after two years abroad? If you want to die, just die as far away as possible, and don’t let me see you!
Gu Xizhi seemed to be extremely cold, and her whole body was trembling. She slowly shifted her gaze to look at her, but her lips were trembling to the point where she couldn't form a complete sentence.
"People say Qu...lives...with Zhong Linshan. Is this true...right?"
Liang Youyou looked very impatient. Although she took off her trench coat and put it on her, she spoke without mercy, "So, you're going crazy in the middle of the night just because of this matter? You left so freely back then. Why do you care about this now?"
"I'm just asking." Gu Xizhi seemed unable to control her trembling body. Her voice was somewhat agitated. "If anyone can ask about an insignificant person, why can't I?"
"You can, and I can tell you!" Liang Youyou shouted loudly. "They've been together for two years. A long time ago, Xizhi bought a villa on Dongpu Road for Ara. For most of the past two years, they've lived together. Six months ago, Qu Xizhi and Ara exchanged rings with each other. I was fortunate enough to see Ara's ring. Do you want me to repeat what was engraved on that diamond waistband?"
Gu Xizhi kept shaking her head as if refusing to hear her continue speaking, and also as if not believing what she had just said.
"I'm telling you." Liang Youyou said word by word, "It says 'love you forever', in Chinese it means I will love you forever! The person you abandoned at the beginning has finally found true love. What do you want to do here, crying to death? A person like Qu Xizhi has done so much for you, but you treat her like a loser. A normal person would not have any nostalgia for you. Besides, she is Qu Xizhi. Do you think there's no one else in the world who likes her except you?"
"Stop talking!" Tears flowed down her cheeks. Gu Xizhi took off her coat and threw it to her, "Stop talking!"
Her legs seemed somewhat stiff from the cold, especially the area around her knees, which seemed painful. But even so, she staggered forward like she was running away as if there were poisonous thorns and vines behind her.
The way back was long and winding. Gu Xizhi searched for a long time to find the keys to the newly acquired room with her stiff hands.
The large room was empty, and the luggage that had just been shipped was still placed in the living room. Gu Xizhi dug out some old things from each luggage bag.
Bags, shoes, clothes that have been out of date for a long time, umbrellas that have been carefully protected but still broken due to too much time, strings of diamond necklaces that can be sold for a good price...
The things that were dug out of the bag were scattered all over the floor. Gu Xizhi raised her head and looked at the huge mirror in the living room, pulling hard to take off the special pendant necklace from her neck.
A bolt of lightning struck, followed by thunder. Gu Xizhi raised her head and looked at the balcony. As if she suddenly thought of something, she stumbled and took the package from the balcony to the living room.
Due to the heavy snow, many parts of the outer wall of the package were wet. Gu Xizhi carefully dug out a lot of sundries from inside and finally took out a framed painting.
The person in the picture is sitting in the white clouds. She has an angel-like face and white clothes. The corners of her lips are slightly curved, gentle, and stunning, and her Zen-like smile carries the power of infinite compassion.
She is so beautiful and gentle.
She was looking at her and smiling.
She is like a dream.
