The man of scumbag Gulnazar

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Qin Tian was full of energy from early morning, cleaning the house spotlessly and preparing all the ingredients, just waiting to show off his culinary skills with Nazha. Years ago, he saw Nazha on a variety show, and her cooking skills were truly impressive; it was a pity he'd never had the chance to try her cooking.

Qin Tian stared at the flight information, his heart pounding like a rabbit's. He prepared to pick up Nazha. He even bought a bouquet of flowers, thinking: since Nazha had taken the initiative to come to him, things were probably settled. Tonight, who knows what unexpected surprises awaited him? As for whether he could cross that line, well, who knows? But the outcome would definitely be good.

Qin Tian drove his studio's flashy car straight to the airport to pick up Nazha. The airport was practically deserted on the third day of the Lunar New Year. He waited a while, and then, by sheer coincidence, he saw Nazha strolling out of the terminal with a guy named Feng the Scumbag. Seeing this, Qin Tian was utterly disgusted. He promptly threw the flowers into the trash can, turned around, and left without a moment's hesitation.

Nazha happened to see Qin Tian throw the flowers and turn away, and she felt incredibly wronged. She knew Qin Tian had misunderstood because during their earlier casual conversation, she had told him that the scumbag Feng had tested her and tried to pursue her, but she had firmly refused. However, they had been chatting happily together after leaving the airport, and Qin Tian's glance had made it all seem like a misunderstanding.

"Hmph, this little man!" Nazha muttered to herself.

After Qin Tian left, he knew Nazha must have seen him, but he didn't stop and drove home. He was in a complete mess. He felt like he should be in the car, enjoying some time alone, instead of being under the car, feeling jealous. He felt like he was being cuckolded.

Halfway there, Qin Tian calmed down and realized something was wrong. Firstly, Nazha had explicitly told him she rejected that scumbag Feng, and he had been in contact with her all along. If they were really together, there should be some word about it. Secondly, he often contacted Nazha, and almost everyone around her knew he was interested in her. If they were truly together, then their character would be seriously questionable.

Qin Tian felt good about himself, believing that while he couldn't compare to the big stars, he was more than a match for that scumbag Feng. Whether it was popularity, income, or anything else, except for his family background (Feng's parents were government officials), he completely outclassed him. He also felt he might have misunderstood, but given their past rumors, who wouldn't misunderstand after seeing that image?

Knowing you're wrong but not admitting it—even with the misunderstanding already so serious, how can you apologize? Qin Tian was incredibly conflicted.

Meanwhile, Nazha was carrying two large suitcases and some local specialties for Qin Tian, ​​and she was furious. "Damn it, you scumbag! You left without saying a word, and your phone was off when I called. If you're so capable, don't ever contact me again!" she cursed Qin Tian in her heart, feeling both angry and aggrieved.

Feng, that scumbag, didn't even know Qin Tian, ​​yet he enthusiastically offered to take Nazha back to her hotel. Coincidentally, he was also returning to Beijing for an event and ran into Nazha while transferring flights in Hubei, where they chatted warmly. So, Feng, that scumbag, is currently unaware of what's going on.

Naza absolutely refused to be driven home and insisted on taking a taxi back herself. It wasn't a big deal in itself, but her petty boyfriend misunderstood. If a reporter actually photographed that scumbag Feng taking her back to the hotel, the misunderstanding would be huge, and it would probably never be cleared up.

She hadn't initially planned to book a hotel. She felt that her relationship with Qin Tian was already progressing smoothly, just waiting for that thin veil to be pierced. She even planned to cook Qin Tian a belated New Year's Eve dinner today, and then naturally break that veil. In the end, she could only hurriedly book a hotel in a taxi.

As the saying goes, even the best women can be won over by a persistent suitor. Who wouldn't be moved if a handsome, talented, and charming guy pursued her for half a year with sweet words and all sorts of flirtatious tactics? Take Lu Han, for example. You might dislike him, but if he really pursued a girl, very few could resist.

Qin Tian realized he had acted impulsively. What should he do? He kept thinking of a solution in the car, wondering why he was still so impulsive after living two lives in vain. Just then, an idea struck him.

He put on makeup, his face turning deathly pale, his lips white, then took out his phone, went to the music room, and turned on the video recording function. Qin Tian then sat down at the piano, played a piece, and then sadly sang along:

She never mentions you.

Did she love you briefly?

Come and go as you please.

I can't figure out his purpose either.

Being too close yet too distant is just wishful thinking.

Listen to who she's flirting with.

But you have no way to express your grievances.

A friend couldn't help but remind him,

She was never truly moved.

You smiled and said it was okay.

You can do it.

She didn't mention liking you at all.

Every word you said was "I do".

Her response when she was lonely

But you were very excited.

She avoided the topic every time.

You foolishly and enthusiastically approached me.

I traveled through countless cities for her.

Simply because she got herself soaked.

This song, "Words and Phrases," was composed and written by Zhang Bichen himself, presumably as a gift to Hua the Magician. But that's not important now; Qin Tian simply took it and used it, replacing "he" with "she" in the lyrics.

He just sang the lyrics once, since there's a time limit for videos on WeChat Moments. Then he added the caption: "Love is dead."

This time, Qin Tian didn't set it to be visible only to Nazar, but instead made it visible to Boss Cai, Nazar's assistant, and Nazar himself. Then he waited for the results, estimating they would be available in two days at most.

If Naza knew, she would definitely complain, "The city is full of tricks, I want to go back to the countryside."

After posting on his WeChat Moments, he turned off his phone. Then he left the side dishes on the table, arranged the beer bottles on the floor in a decorative way, cooked himself a meal, ate, washed the dishes, and went to bed.

Soon after, Nazha's assistant called her and said, "Sister, take a look at Qin Tian's WeChat Moments. Did you reject him? What, is love dead?" Nazha didn't say anything and started listening to music.

She listened and cried, as if she had truly done something wrong, and began to reflect on whether she shouldn't have waited so long to express her feelings, and should have agreed sooner. She had thought he already knew how she felt.

She listened to the song again, thinking about how he flew to see her, how he accompanied her after her ex-boyfriend's public revelation, and how he always helped her when she needed it, while she never reciprocated his affections. She wondered if she really was the "scumbag" woman netizens criticized her for. (There's a bug here: the phone is turned off after leaving the airport, so how can you post on WeChat Moments? But Naza didn't notice.)

Actually, Naza was just imagining things. She had already responded before: holding hands and cuddling together are things that ordinary friends can do.

Just then, Boss Cai called: "Naza, did you reject Qin Tian?"

"No, Sister K, I don't know what happened either," Naza lied.

"Alright, the company isn't against dating. We've seen it for over six months, and he's been quite good to you. He's talented and handsome; I thought you two would get together. It's just that he's fallen for this jerk. Don't worry, there will be better ones in the future," Boss Cai said.

Boss Cai actually had his own ulterior motives. Qin Tian is so handsome, he could totally sign with Tangren Media to act in TV dramas! And Nazha had mentioned that he applied to the Beijing Film Academy, which could train him. Everyone assumed he wanted to be an actor!

None of that matters! At this moment, Naza was in a truly unspeakable predicament, unsure how to explain it to Boss Cai. What did it have to do with infidelity? Forget it, let it all end!

After half an hour of internal struggle, Naza called Qin Tian's assistant, Li Yu, to ask for the address of Qin Tian's rented apartment, deciding to explain things in person.

"I'm a woman of my word! I'm going to explain myself! Even if that scumbag doesn't believe me, he can just accept being disgusted by a toad for half a year. I can't be wrongly accused!" Naza's stubbornness kicked in.

Naza didn't explain why she needed the address; she assumed everyone was unable to contact Qin Tian. However, Li Yu knew Qin Tian's other work phone number and called to tell Naza about asking for the address. Then Qin Tian instructed Li Yu to remind Naza that if no one was home, she could go in and wait if she knew the passcode, but she couldn't say it was him who gave it to her. Although Li Yu didn't understand, she did as instructed.

Qin Tian brought over a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor). Since he hadn't actually been drinking, he had to fake it. He poured half a bottle of baijiu onto his clothes, then dried them with a hairdryer, giving his clothes and hair the smell of alcohol. He then lay on the sofa pretending to be drunk. After a while, he heard a knock on the door and immediately drank a small amount of baijiu, otherwise, it would be difficult to explain that he didn't smell of alcohol on his breath.

"Click! Click!" Naza pushed the door open and came in to find the room in complete disarray!
