In the past, I often showed off my affection to passersby. As the male lead, it was a great feeling. Suddenly, I became a supporting character. Only the song "Cold" could express my inner feelings.
Moreover, Li Meiyu only cared about putting food on Zhong Yuchen's plate. She didn't care about my feelings at all. Even if she symbolically gave me a piece of bone, it would have been fine.
If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have come. Somehow, I became a 100,000-volt lightbulb. But to be honest, I felt a little strange.
Li Meiyu's family background was well-deserved, even in Jing City. She had been in contact with a lot of high-quality men. For example, Chen Haonan was good in all aspects. How did he develop a good impression of Zhong Yuchen?
Even if he saved her life, she didn't have to be this passionate. She simply lost the modesty that a girl should have. Although I didn't have much contact with Li Meiyu, in my subconscious, she wasn't a proactive girl like Tang Mengyun.
Sigh, maybe this was love. I couldn't explain it clearly. Although my heart didn't feel good, I couldn't deprive a girl of her right to pursue happiness, right?
In any case, Zhong Yuchen was talented and full of potential. Eh, no … I suddenly remembered something. Not long ago, Director Du called me and said that Zhong Yuchen seemed to have a fiancée!
It seemed that I needed to give Li Meiyu a warning. As the saying goes, it's better to get the pain over with than to get it over with. Liking a person wasn't wrong, but pursuing a man with a family was like a moth flying into a flame.
I directly asked the waiter to bring me a bottle of white wine and drank it to drown my sorrows. After three glasses of wine, I couldn't help but talk about this matter.
"Brother Zhong, are you going back to Nan Yun for the New Year?"
"Yes, of course I have to go back for the New Year. Otherwise, why would I stay in Beijing?" Zhong Yuchen nodded.
"Aiya, Brother Xiao Chen, can't you stay with me?
Usually, the holidays of the Dragon and Tiger Society only last one or two weeks. It's so tiring to travel back and forth. "
Li Meiyu smacked her lips. That cute and mischievous look was really adorable. However, she wasn't acting coquettishly towards me, so I couldn't imagine it.
"Ahem, Miss Li, you don't understand Brother Zhong's family situation. He still has a fiancée, so how can he not go back? What I mean is, when we go to Chuzhou, you can be my tour guide. Of course, Miss Li can come with us. The more the merrier, the merrier," I said with a smile.
It was obvious that my words were meant for Li Meiyu to hear so that I could secretly observe her expression. Li Meiyu was stunned for a moment. A trace of emptiness and confusion flashed across her beautiful eyes. It seemed that her mental state wasn't very good. Then, she frowned slightly.
"Big Brother Little Chen, is your fiancée very beautiful?" She asked curiously.
"Yes, she's beautiful, but she's already gone …" Zhong Yuchen couldn't help but look gloomy.
"Brother Zhong, are you joking?" My expression was a little strange.
Then, Zhong Yuchen told me that just as Curator Du had said, his fiancée had an affair with the guy who ranked first on the Nan Yun Provincial Ranking List. Of course, this so-called number one wasn't me. Ever since I showed off my skills in the dojo challenge competition and defeated Lv Zhendong, I had jumped out of the scope of the provincial ranking list.
Because of this incident, Zhong Yuchen was furious for the sake of his beauty. He crippled the guy who was ranked first, and he became a rising star on the provincial list. However, after that, his fiancée committed suicide for various reasons. Even though Zhong Yuchen did not care about her mistakes, he still could not stop his fiancée from committing suicide.
"Actually, I already knew that she wanted to commit suicide. I tried to stop her several times, but I couldn't change the result. Sigh."
Zhong Yuchen heaved a long sigh. Tears welled up in his eyes. He paused for a moment and then said, "If it weren't for her death, I wouldn't have come to Jing City."
His grief infected Li Meiyu. The little lass lowered her head without saying a word. Tears flowed down her cheeks and rolled down her cheeks.
"Wuwu, Brother Xiao Chen, you really are a good man who cares about relationships. There are very few people like you in TV dramas," Li Meiyu said while covering her mouth.
Hearing this, I felt so embarrassed. Was she scolding me indirectly?
Although Li Meiyu and I weren't familiar, it wasn't difficult for her to know about my past with the means of the Li family.
Especially those female confidantes, as long as she asked a little, she would know everything about them. Compared to the beauties around me, Zhong Yuchen was indeed loyal.
It shouldn't be as exaggerated as Li Meiyu said, right? There were so many men like this in idol dramas.
It seems that this little girl has a problem with me. Thinking about it, yesterday's fan meeting was perfectly fine, but because of my negligence, she and Guan Ruolan were caught. It could be said that their lives were hanging by a thread. Even now, I still haven't said a word of apology to Li Meiyu. Instead, I only cared about using my body and heart to protect Guan Ruolan, ignoring Li Meiyu's feelings.
After all, she was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl. It was difficult for me to understand the fear and helplessness in her heart after experiencing such a dangerous situation.
But then again, the nature of the matter was a little different when Zhong Yuchen personally told me about it. How should I put it? He originally showed a lukewarm rejection. If he continued to be cold and tight-lipped, it was very likely that 30% of Li Meiyu's enthusiasm would have passed. It was understandable for a teenage girl to have occasional thoughts of love.
But when he said it out loud, I felt like I had fallen into a pit, and I had been tricked by myself …
Sure enough, Li Meiyu couldn't help but comfort Zhong Yuchen. "Brother Xiao Chen, don't be sad anymore. Isn't there a saying that when God closes a door for you, he will also open a window. Looking at the scenery outside the window might give you a different harvest."
F * ck, what the f * ck, even someone with a negative EQ would be able to pick up the hint, right?
Zhong Yuchen smiled embarrassedly. Just as he was about to speak, his phone rang. "Sorry, I have to take a call. You guys eat first."
