âI saw your press conference live!â
âUh huh?â
âAre you really that determined?â
Yun Shishi surveyed her surroundings. Coincidentally, she was standing not too far from the shopping centerâs big screen. On the screen, the scene of Gu Xingzeâs announcement of his withdrawal from the entertainment industry was playing. There was a group of fans gathered beneath the screen. Even from a distance, Yun Shishi could tell that these fans were crying.
âYour fans really canât bear for you to quit!â
Yun Shishi sighed. âYouâre just overly cruel! Why are you quitting the entertainment industry?â
âNo reason. Just tired of life in front of the camera.â
He did not delve too deeply into this, but changed the topic. âShishi, can we... meet?â
â...â
As if afraid that she would reject him, he smiled and said, âThis is probably our last meeting!â
âWhat do you mean by that?â
He said, âI have a 1 am flight. After tonight, Iâm returning to America permanently!â
Although she was mentally prepared, the word âpermanentlyâ hit her hard nevertheless. She felt suffocated.
âShishi...â He took in a deep breath.â I would like to see you. Even if I donât have much to say, I would like to see you for the last time. â
Yun Shishi drew in a breath of cold air deeply and raised her eyes towards the starry sky. âWhere are you?â
âIn the office. Iâve just signed a bunch of agreements.â
He continued, âWhere are you? Iâll go look for you.â
âIâm in the city center now, but there are too many people here. Itâs probably not convenient for you?â
Given Gu Xingzeâs visibility, even if he were to be in full disguise, he could be recognized any minute walking around on the streets.
Yun Shishi asked, âDo you know that park in Huxin Island?â
âUh huh.â
âAre you driving?â
âYeah, Iâm driving.â
âIâll wait for you in the car park of Huxin Island.â
âAlright.â
After hanging up, Yun Shishi immediately walked to the side of the street and flagged down a taxi.
A taxi pulled up next to her and she immediately got into the car. The driver took a glance at her and stepped on the accelerator. After a moment, he reacted and suddenly braked!
âWhatâs wrong?â Yun Shishi was shocked by the sudden stopping.
âYou... youâre that...â
The driver thought hard for a while. âThe television drama my wife has been following recently... âLethal Beautyâ, itâs called. Arenât you in it as the supporting female lead?â
â...â
âThat evil woman! My wife hated you at first, but after watching some of your variety shows, she likes you again! Youâre a really beautiful lady up close!â
She smiled awkwardly.
âI didnât expect to get lucky today, but Iâve picked up a big star! Big star, can you give me an autograph?!â
âSure, but take me to my destination first!â
âAiya, alright, alright!â
The driver was so excited that he didnât even bother to turn on the taxi meter. He stepped on the accelerator and zoomed off.
Along the way, there were red lights and the roads were congested. The driver suddenly looked at the reflection in the rear view mirror and clicked his tongue. âThis Lexus has been following us all the way!â
âMaybe itâs a coincidence.â
She replied nonchalantly.
The driver joked, âCould it be the paparazzi?â
âWhy are there so many paparazzi following us every day?â Yun Shishi lamented disapprovingly.
Upon arriving at her destination, she sent Gu Xingze her location and waited patiently on the long bench in the car park.
