“I saw your press conference live!”
“Uh huh?”
“Are you really that determined?”
Yun Shishi surveyed her surroundings. Coincidentally, she was standing not too far from the shopping center’s big screen. On the screen, the scene of Gu Xingze’s announcement of his withdrawal from the entertainment industry was playing. There was a group of fans gathered beneath the screen. Even from a distance, Yun Shishi could tell that these fans were crying.
“Your fans really can’t bear for you to quit!”
Yun Shishi sighed. “You’re just overly cruel! Why are you quitting the entertainment industry?”
“No reason. Just tired of life in front of the camera.”
He did not delve too deeply into this, but changed the topic. “Shishi, can we… meet?”
“…”
As if afraid that she would reject him, he smiled and said, “This is probably our last meeting!”
“What do you mean by that?”
He said, “I have a 1 am flight. After tonight, I’m returning to America permanently!”
Although she was mentally prepared, the word ‘permanently’ hit her hard nevertheless. She felt suffocated.
“Shishi…” He took in a deep breath.” I would like to see you. Even if I don’t have much to say, I would like to see you for the last time. ”
Yun Shishi drew in a breath of cold air deeply and raised her eyes towards the starry sky. “Where are you?”
“In the office. I’ve just signed a bunch of agreements.”
He continued, “Where are you? I’ll go look for you.”
“I’m in the city center now, but there are too many people here. It’s probably not convenient for you?”
Given Gu Xingze’s visibility, even if he were to be in full disguise, he could be recognized any minute walking around on the streets.
Yun Shishi asked, “Do you know that park in Huxin Island?”
“Uh huh.”
“Are you driving?”
“Yeah, I’m driving.”
“I’ll wait for you in the car park of Huxin Island.”
“Alright.”
After hanging up, Yun Shishi immediately walked to the side of the street and flagged down a taxi.
A taxi pulled up next to her and she immediately got into the car. The driver took a glance at her and stepped on the accelerator. After a moment, he reacted and suddenly braked!
“What’s wrong?” Yun Shishi was shocked by the sudden stopping.
“You… you’re that…”
The driver thought hard for a while. “The television drama my wife has been following recently… ‘Lethal Beauty’, it’s called. Aren’t you in it as the supporting female lead?”
“…”
“That evil woman! My wife hated you at first, but after watching some of your variety shows, she likes you again! You’re a really beautiful lady up close!”
She smiled awkwardly.
“I didn’t expect to get lucky today, but I’ve picked up a big star! Big star, can you give me an autograph?!”
“Sure, but take me to my destination first!”
“Aiya, alright, alright!”
The driver was so excited that he didn’t even bother to turn on the taxi meter. He stepped on the accelerator and zoomed off.
Along the way, there were red lights and the roads were congested. The driver suddenly looked at the reflection in the rear view mirror and clicked his tongue. “This Lexus has been following us all the way!”
“Maybe it’s a coincidence.”
She replied nonchalantly.
The driver joked, “Could it be the paparazzi?”
“Why are there so many paparazzi following us every day?” Yun Shishi lamented disapprovingly.
Upon arriving at her destination, she sent Gu Xingze her location and waited patiently on the long bench in the car park.
