Looking at the phone screen, Chu Qingxue let out a long breath, fell back on the bed and looked at the ceiling.
It would be better if you don't reply. You shouldn't pester her anymore, right?
It is better to be serious than to be indecisive...
Just as she was about to close her eyes and continue to catch up on her sleep, the news popped up again, troubling her nerves, and she felt a splitting headache.
After groping on the bed for a while with her eyes closed, she finally found her phone and pressed the receive button. Chu Qingxue opened her eyes and looked at Gu Jue's reply.
"Without you, I really have nothing..."
The tone of this message was very humble. Chu Qingxue's heart suddenly tightened when she saw this message. She could almost imagine Gu Jue's despair at this time and the sadness hidden deep inside.
But what does any of this have to do with her?
She is not his...
But Chu Qingxue is afraid that Gu Jue will not do anything extreme because of the pressure from the entertainment industry and public opinion, right?
While Chu Qingxue was thinking wildly, the phone screen flashed again.
"Can you chat with me for a while?"
As soon as she saw this message, Chu Qingxue was hesitant about how to reply to Gu Jue. Just as she was about to type, the next second the bedroom door was pushed open.
Chu Qingxue was so frightened that she quickly hid her cell phone behind her back and watched Sheng Yanxuan walk in wearing a bathrobe.
Sheng Yanxuan's eyes fell on Chu Qingxue's hand hidden behind her back. He narrowed his eyes and stared at her hand for a while, then shifted his gaze and looked at her with a smile.
"Why don't you go wash up and go to sleep?" Sheng Yanxuan walked towards Chu Qingxue who was lying on the bed and looked at her condescendingly.
Chu Qingxue was startled by his sudden approach. She was afraid that Sheng Yanxuan would discover the message Gu Jue sent her. In a panic, she hurriedly made an excuse, "I'm going to take a shower first."
Sheng Yanxuan didn't stop her, he just glanced at her briefly and chuckled as he watched her running away in a hurry.
Suddenly, Chu Qingxue's cell phone, which was lying on the bed, rang again. The ding-dong sound attracted Sheng Yanxuan's attention. He bent down and picked up the cell phone placed next to him.
Strong curiosity drove him to open the phone screen to see what happened to make Chu Qingxue so lost.
Just when her fingers were about to open it, Chu Qingxue suddenly poked her head out of the bathroom.
"Sheng Yanxuan, help me get my phone...why are you holding my phone?" Chu Qingxue looked around and saw Sheng Yanxuan holding her phone in her hand. She was nervous and stammered.
Sheng Yanxuan didn't seem to hear it, and still looked at her phone with his eyes full of fun.
Chu Qingxue suddenly panicked. She was afraid that Sheng Yanxuan would open her phone and see the ambiguous text message Gu Jue sent her.
"Sheng Yanxuan! You are not allowed to look! Otherwise I will never pay attention to you again." Chu Qingxue was so anxious that she threatened him.
Sheng Yanxuan raised his eyebrows, "Oh?"
Hearing Sheng Yanxuan's slightly dangerous voice, Chu Qingxue immediately gave up. She looked at Sheng Yanxuan flatteringly and said, "Well, please give me your phone back. It's just a chat between me and my sisters."
Sheng Yanxuan looked at Chu Qingxue's little appearance, begging for him, and infinite pity rose in his heart.
Stretching out his slender fingers, Sheng Yanxuan flicked Chu Qingxue's forehead, "Naughty devil."
However, in Chu Qingxue's view, his behavior seemed like a warning.
She quickly took the phone from his hand, closed the bathroom door, and leaned against the wall holding the phone, her heart beating fast. The lingering fear after the thrill made her unable to calm down for a long time.
She looked at the name displayed on the phone and bit her lip.
Gu Jue, do you know how cruel it is for you to force me like this? It's obvious that it's impossible between us, so why waste any more time.
[Gu Jue, I’m really tired, please let me go. 】
After Chu Qingxue said this, she blocked Gu Jue completely.
This move can be regarded as freeing Gu Jue. After all, Chu Qingxue had a cold attitude every time she saw him during this period, and even her friends were unwilling to communicate with him.
Fortunately, fortunately Sheng Yanxuan didn't see the news...
Gu Jue sat by the window and looked at the message from Chu Qingxue. He felt cold all over his body, as if he was on the top of the Arctic glacier.
For the first time in so many years, he experienced what it means to be heartbroken.
With trembling hands, he typed out a message to send to Chu Qingxue, trying to retain her again, even if it meant using up his last bit of courage.
But his fingers were so stiff that he couldn't type out that sentence.
He lowered his head in despair, his eyes were empty, and his heart was in chaos.
Finally, when it was sent, there was only a red exclamation mark, indicating that the sending failed.
Gu Jue stood up, took out his cigarette case, lit one, and took a deep puff.
The smell of tobacco instantly filled the entire bedroom, mixed with the strong smell of alcohol, which was nauseating.
He raised his hand to rub his sore temples, threw the remaining half of the cigarette on the ground and crushed it hard.
Gu Jue was nestled on the sofa, looking at the various wine bottles placed on the coffee table under the dim light.
He stopped drinking until he felt sick to his stomach.
He was suppressed by the Sheng family in the entertainment industry and was out of breath. All movies and TV series to be filmed abandoned him, and even those that had been filmed were banned from being released.
When all the capital saw this scene, they all retreated. Who dared to help Gu Jue at this time?
They can't afford to offend the Sheng family.
They could only stay away to avoid harming Chi Yu and becoming the target of Sheng Yanxuan's revenge.
And he, Gu Jue, could only wait to die.
He was unwilling to lose to Sheng Yanxuan!
Gu Jue threw all the wine bottles on the table to the ground.
With a "bang" sound, the wine bottle fragments flew in all directions, and the glass shards penetrated into the palm of the hand, causing blood to drip from it.
But he didn't care at all, his scarlet eyes stared tightly, if he could, he would kill Sheng Yanxuan.
***
Chu Qingxue came out after washing, with the fragrance of shower gel all over her body. She was wearing white lace pajamas, with her shiny black hair hanging loose.
The smell of hospital disinfectant finally disappeared from her body, her cheeks became pink and tender from just taking a hot bath, and there was a slight smile hanging on the corner of her mouth, like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world.
Her beauty seems to capture the souls of all men.
Seeing Sheng Yanxuan sitting in the living room, Chu Qingxue was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that Sheng Yanxuan hadn't rested yet, so she tugged at the corner of her skirt in embarrassment.
This dress was indeed a bit revealing, but it was really comfortable, so she wore it.
"Why aren't you sleeping yet? Ahem. It's getting late." Chu Qingxue asked uncomfortably. She always felt that Sheng Yanxuan's eyes were strange.
Sheng Yanxuan stared at Chu Qingxue with his deep, dark eyes for a long time, and finally slowly opened his lips, "I'm waiting for you."
Chu Qingxue was startled when she heard Sheng Yanxuan's words. She blinked and suspected that she was hallucinating.
Waiting for me? Waiting for me? Sleeping...
"I..." She wanted to ask clearly, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know what to say.
