After reading my mind, everyone collectively begged me to watch the drama unfold!

In the evening, after the four finished their meal, they split into pairs and left on their own.

Lin Guiyi and his younger brother took a taxi home.

Even while lying in bed, Lin Guiyi was still full of energy and took out his phone.

Lin Guiyi's emotions are easily stirred. He laughs heartily at happy videos, sometimes even to the point of choking; he feels deeply moved by tragic stories, tears streaming down his face; and when he sees cute pet videos, he's charmed by their cuteness...

She can experience multiple emotions within a minute, often smiling while tears are streaming down her face.

Lin Guiyi was scrolling through videos when he suddenly saw someone familiar. He swiped up.

It's Xu Jiaoqiao!

It's been so long since I've seen her. Lin Guiyi thought she had retired from the entertainment industry.

I didn't recognize Xu Jiaoqiao at first glance.

The video shows the opening ceremony of Xu Jiaoqiao's new drama.

Lin Guiyi then specifically searched for Xu Jiaoqiao and discovered that she was now following a controversial yet popular route.

Many fans online are trying to whitewash Xu Jiaoqiao from various angles, portraying her as young and naive who has already apologized. Some even believe that someone is slandering Xu Jiaoqiao and trying to harm her.

Hmm... Lin Guiyi didn't know how to comment.

Anyway, Xu Jiaoqiao now has a large following and has even switched to acting, taking on roles in dramas.

Lin Guiyi was puzzled. Xu Jiaoqiao had been so outrageous before, but Tan Jingxi hadn't done anything about it.

Seeing that it wasn't too late, Lin Gui sent a message to Tan Jingxi.

{Jingxi, I saw Xu Jiaoqiao filming a TV series while browsing videos!}

{Yes, Xu Jiaoqiao has someone backing her up now.}

The message was replied to very quickly, almost instantly, as if the other party had been waiting for the message for a long time.

Lin Guiyi was somewhat surprised. Had they found a sugar daddy?!

{real?}

{Hmm, quite powerful}

{Then you should be careful; it would be best to hire a bodyguard with you.}

Xu Jiaoqiao hates Tan Jingxi to death. The person who had been manipulating her all along has turned around and bit her. She will definitely take revenge later.

{The same to you}

{Haha, um}

Lin Guiyi put down his phone, and the image of Xu Jiaoqiao from before flashed through his mind.

It's hard to imagine that Xu Jiaoqiao would do that, but right and wrong are not something she can decide.

It's a bit of a pity, they were both such beautiful girls.

Lin Guiyi shook his head and stopped watching, then started scrolling through funny videos again. These were the best videos to watch, they made him feel good.

---

After parting ways with Lin Guiyi and the others, Lin Shufeng took Xu Qiuye home.

"Qiuye, there's still some work to do. You go to sleep first, and I'll be back when I'm done."

Lin Shufeng ruffled Xu Qiuye's hair.

"Go ahead and come back early."

After Lin Shufeng left, he arranged to meet Qi Xuan.

Driving to a small restaurant, Lin Shufeng went inside and immediately spotted Qi Xuan.

"coming"

Qi Xuan looked at Lin Shufeng across from him.

"What made you decide to come here today?"

"It suddenly occurred to me that it's been a long time since we've been here, several years, hasn't it?"

"Yes, it's been almost seven years." Qi Xuan's eyes flashed with nostalgia as he mentioned this.

In the past, they often gathered here for meals because it was cheap and the portions were large; for them, it was the happiest moment of the day.

At that time, Lin Shufeng was still very young and inexperienced, calling out "Brother Xuan" all the time, which made Qi Xuan's eyes crinkle.

"Brother Xuan, I'm sorry about what happened today."

Huh? Qi Xuan realized what was happening, and smiled nonchalantly: "Yes, I accept your apology."

The two ordered the same dishes they had ordered before and sat in the same seats as before. It was as if time had turned back, as if it had not passed at all.

After finishing his meal, Qi Xuan put down his utensils, took a sip of water, cleared his throat, and looked at the absent-minded Lin Shufeng, asking directly, "What exactly happened? Just say it, this isn't like you."

Lin Shufeng withdrew his attention. When facing Qi Xuan, he was always transparent, and Qi Xuan could see right through him.

But Lin Shufeng changed the subject.

“Brother Xuan, the reason I went out at the art exhibition earlier was because I discovered that someone was trying to steal my paintings.”

"painting?"

"They caught them red-handed and have already taken them to the police station. The thief is my assistant."

Qi Xuan frowned slightly. "Why did he steal the drawing? Was someone instructing him?!" Although it was a question, his tone was certain.

"Yes, it was Li Shi'an who instigated it. He doesn't like me and plans to spread rumors that I plagiarized."

Lin Shufeng briefly recounted his grievances with Li Shi'an.

Qi Xuan frowned, his face serious, and said in a stern voice, "Then what do you plan to do? We can't show him any mercy for what he did."

"Of course I won't let him off the hook. Since he thinks I'm abusing my power, I'll give him what he wants. I'll suppress him in his own field. I guess he really enjoys the life of an ordinary person. Being an artist for too long has made him think he's something special!"

Lin Shufeng scoffed, his face full of amusement.

"Sure, we'll also release the plan to frame you. We'll make sure Li Shi'an becomes a sensation. We're happy to help others."

After saying that, the two smiled at each other, picked up their water glasses and clinked them together to celebrate Li Shi'an's impending fate.

The two left the restaurant, strolled around, and chatted until they arrived at a park.

The two sat quietly on a park bench, neither of them speaking.

Before me lay the shimmering river, its surface rippling like a painting stirred by the wind. A gentle evening breeze carried a touch of coolness.

Qi Xuan gazed at the scenery before him, quietly waiting for Lin Shufeng to speak.

A lot happened today, and Lin Shufeng is acting strangely.

"Xuan-ge, you like me, right?"

A gentle breeze blew by, and the air fell silent for a moment.

"When did you find out? Today?" His voice was hoarse.

Qi Xuan was very surprised. How did Lin Shufeng know? He had kept it a secret all along, and Lin Shufeng had never noticed.

"Well, today."

Lin Shufeng answered the question and said nothing more.

Qi Xuan stood up and came to Lin Shufeng, bending down to look him in the eye.

"Then you'll date me! And break up with your boyfriend?"

His voice carried a hint of laughter, but his eyes were dark and unreadable.

The clenched right hand behind his back betrayed his nervousness, perhaps also a longing for the answer.

Lin Shufeng looked away, his lips slightly parted, as if he had been considering for a long time before he finally spoke: "Brother Xuan, stop joking."

She wouldn't look at him, and Qi Xuan laughed until tears streamed down her face. "I was just kidding."

Sitting back down in his chair, Qi Xuan looked into the distance and said softly, "I liked you from the first time I saw you, but I knew you didn't like me, so I kept it to myself."

"Now that you know, I'm a little relieved."

"Xuan-ge!!"

Looking at Qi Xuan like this, as if a piece of paper was about to be blown away by the wind, Lin Shufeng urgently called out his name to confirm his presence.

Having known Qi Xuan for so long and supported each other, he had long regarded Qi Xuan as family.

"Alright, there are plenty of fish in the sea, now I can go check out some other handsome guys!"

Qi Xuan, a good friend, patted Lin Shufeng on the shoulder.

Actually, over the years, she has secretly loved Lin Shufeng and watched him date various boys and girls.

Qi Xuan was also a little tired, but there was always a force keeping him going, making him unable to give up.

Looking back now, I realize that this is the day I've been waiting for.

Knowing that Lin Shufeng was aware of his feelings, Qi Xuan's first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief. The feeling that had been weighing on his heart dissipated, and he felt extremely comfortable.

Seeing that Qi Xuan looked normal, Lin Shufeng smiled.

Reality is no longer the same as in the book.

The air around us seemed to lighten up.

Lin Shufeng put his arm around Qi Xuan and promised, "Brother Xuan, I know a lot of people. I'll introduce you to them later and I guarantee you'll find a partner soon."

"Go away, go away. I can't handle the people you know."

"Trust me, you're very popular, I'll definitely find you a great beauty!"

"roll"
