"In a bit, I'll scare Lu Xing first."
"When his psychological defenses are at their most vulnerable, I'll properly explain the reason I did this."
"After he's moved, I'll gently comfort him and coax him."
"While he's immersed in the gentle embrace, I'll propose the request for him to come to the theater in the future."
"And at the very, very end, I must ask Lu Xing about his relationship with that woman!"
In the private box, Chi Yueshan paced around anxiously, constantly muttering her plan.
This was her plan.
Whenever she encountered a tricky problem, Chi Yueshan would analyze the most advantageous solution for herself.
This plan was quite good.
Raise him up after suppressing him first. Lu Xing would definitely be very moved.
But...
Chi Yueshan clutched her chest. Why was it beating so uncomfortably!
Even when she first went on stage, with so many people in the audience, she had never been this nervous!
Da da da.
She had deliberately left the door open, so she could soon hear the sound in the corridor.
Hearing the sound, Chi Yueshan's expression instantly became serious.
She took a deep breath, sat down gracefully at the table, gathered her long hair behind her, and put on an elegant smile.
Sensing the footsteps arriving at the door, Chi Yueshan spoke, calm yet with a hint of anticipation.
"You're here."
"Uh..."
The waiter's face was reflected in Chi Yueshan's eyes, revealing her astonishment.
"Why is it you?"
The waiter was also a little embarrassed. He wanted to escape but couldn't get away!
Can you two lovebirds not use him as a pager!
Is he a part of your roleplay?
"Who did you want to come?"
A familiar voice drifted over from behind the waiter.
Lu Xing leaned against the doorframe, looking with great interest at the look of dashed hopes in Chi Yueshan's eyes.
Lu Xing is here!
Chi Yueshan's eyes instantly lit up.
From great disappointment to great excitement, her expression control almost collapsed.
She took a deep breath.
Calm down, calm down, must calm down!
What was the plan from just now?
It's over!
I forgot!
Being interrupted like this, all of Chi Yueshan's plans were disrupted, and her mind instantly went blank!
Just standing there like this wasn't an option.
Lu Xing smiled and greeted the waiter. "Goodbye, you can go first."
The waiter, as if granted a pardon, quickly slipped away with oil on the soles of his feet!
"Long time no see."
Lu Xing naturally walked into the private box and closed the door behind him.
The whole process was as if he were the master.
The roles of offense and defense have reversed!
Chi Yueshan stood awkwardly beside Lu Xing. All her plans had vanished. She could only say sullenly.
"Nine days and two hours."
"What?" Lu Xing was confused.
Chi Yueshan looked at him, her lips twitching, her smile a little forced.
"It hasn't been a long time. We haven't seen each other for nine days and two hours."
Show weakness.
Two big words instantly appeared in Chi Yueshan's mind.
Show weakness.
Lu Xing is a soft-hearted person. If I show weakness first, he will definitely soften up!
Chi Yueshan lowered her eyes, exuding the aura of a pitiful little thing.
Lu Xing smiled.
Green tea. He's seen plenty.
And he himself was a fragrant cup of West Lake Dragon Well tea.
So Lu Xing acted as if he hadn't heard, walked to the refrigerator, opened it, and asked casually.
"What do you want to drink?"
Chi Yueshan was shocked.
No, she's being so pitiful here. Isn't Lu Xing going to say something?
"I want to apologize to you."
Chi Yueshan stood up straight, her beautiful eyes revealing sincerity.
Lu Xing let out a laugh and took a can of ice-cold Coke from the refrigerator.
Click.
Gulp, gulp, gulp.
Ah!
Awesome!
His mouth was invaded by threads of sweetness. Lu Xing's eyes squinted with pleasure.
As expected.
Otaku happy water!
Chi Yueshan bit her pearly teeth and lowered her head in embarrassment.
What to do?
Lu Xing is treating her as if she were air!
After drinking the soda and getting a sugar rush, Lu Xing's mood improved a lot.
He leaned against the refrigerator, casually and lazily scanning Chi Yueshan.
"What do you want to drink?"
"Coke."
Chi Yueshan didn't dare not to answer. Just now when she didn't answer, Lu Xing had directly ignored her.
Now she was the one at fault. It was normal to be a little more patient.
Thinking of Lu Xing's satisfied look when he drank the Coke, Chi Yueshan suddenly felt a little envious.
Lu Xing nodded.
He glanced at the drinks in the refrigerator, finally twisted open a cap, and handed Chi Yueshan a bottle of mineral water.
"Sit."
Chi Yueshan hugged the mineral water with pleasant surprise.
Lu Xing remembered that she couldn't drink random things to protect her throat, and he even helped her twist the bottle cap!
What does this mean?
It means Lu Xing isn't that angry at all!
Having figured this out, Chi Yueshan instantly became confident and sat down beside Lu Xing.
Hmm?
"Why are you sitting so close?" Lu Xing asked with confusion.
Isn't it crowded?
After being sure that Lu Xing was not angry, Chi Yueshan was as happy as a fool in her heart.
"You smell so good. I want to sit next to you."
Lu Xing looked at Chi Yueshan with shock.
Damn it.
A few days apart, and Chi Yueshan's brain has gone haywire?
"It's the nine-yuan family-sized bag of laundry detergent from the supermarket. If you buy it, you'll smell good too."
He really didn't get it.
These rich people spray themselves with perfumes worth thousands and tens of thousands, and they still fancy the smell of this little bit of laundry detergent?
Chi Yueshan shook her head. "It's not the same."
It really wasn't the same.
She had seen plenty of people who sprayed expensive perfume but still looked stinky.
Lu Xing was different.
He looked clean, and he loved to smile. He felt like the sun.
Both warm and comfortable.
Lu Xing couldn't be bothered to care about what was the same or different for her.
He stood up, moved away from Chi Yueshan, and switched to a single sofa.
He crossed his left leg over his right, propped up his temple with his hand, and said wearily.
"If you have any questions, just say them all at once."
He didn't want to waste his emotions on a client with whom he no longer had a relationship.
After all~
His emotional value required money.
Chi Yueshan sat on the sofa at a loss, the spirited look she had on stage completely gone.
But...
Chi Yueshan secretly sized up Lu Xing. She felt that Lu Xing's current appearance was so different from before!
"I'm sorry. I didn't read what you wrote before."
Lu Xing smiled indifferently and said matter-of-factly.
"You are my client."
"How you dispose of these things is your right."
Chi Yueshan was stunned.
She had thought she would see Lu Xing sad, pained, or even cursing her.
Why was this his reaction?
Lu Xing raised an eyebrow and comforted her, "Boss Chi, you don't need to feel guilty about this."
"You spend money to buy services."
"It's like the sedan chair bearers on the mountain. If everyone felt guilty and was too embarrassed to sit, how would the sedan chair bearers make money?"
Lu Xing's voice was gentle and considerate, yet it pierced Chi Yueshan's heart!
She understood the meaning behind Lu Xing's words, and her face turned pale.
"You knew?"
Lu Xing smiled.
It seemed that even now, Chi Yueshan still had no intention of telling him about this.
So annoying.
There's no money to be made here, and I still have to be long-winded.
Lu Xing asked boredly.
"Are you referring to the fact that you didn't read my writing, or the fact that you've been my boss all along?"
...
