She averted her gaze, then checked her phone again.
Itâs been almost a week since she posted the breakup announcement on Weibo. Huang Mi hasnât left a single comment, nor has his assistant sent a message. Itâs as if they really did break up.
That bastard. doesnât he know he should come and appease me? Fine then. If youâre so heartless, I wonât bother with you anymore. Go ahead, ignore me for the rest of your life. Donât ever contact me.
Huang Mi, who was on set, had no clue about all of Du Suiâs antics, and he couldnât care less.
âMr. Huang, can I play the next scene like this?â Xue Feifei was discussing with him, it was her death scene. Her performance as the second female lead dying in the arms of the male lead depended on his cooperation.
âOkay.â Huang Mi nodded. Ignoring both Du Sui and Yu Sixing.
If Du Sui hadnât made such a fuss, threatening to ruin his entire acting career, he might have treated it as a regular coupleâs quarrel. But now, that was no longer possible.
Here in the car park, both Lu Weixi and Qin Zhiyou, waiting, had even less interest in knowing Du Suiâs feelings.
Since leaving the sick room, Lu Weixi had been silent. Qin Zhiyou didnât dare to console him, much less comment. The more said, the more likely to make a mistake.
In the car park, Qin Zhiyou opened the car door. Lu Weixi got in and buckled up. Qin Zhiyouâs hand was on the steering wheel, but he didnât start the car. Lu Weixi didnât rush him either.
Neither spoke. After a long wait, Qin Zhiyou reached for the cigarette pack stored away. He pulled out a cigarette, but stopped midway and put it back.
He turned to glance at Lu Weixi, but Lu Weixi was looking down at his phone and didnât see him. Qin Zhiyou felt a pang of disappointment. With a quiet sigh, he looked forward.
As soon as he turned away, Lu Weixi looked up at him, only catching a glimpse of his determined yet slightly desolate profile. However, when Qin Zhiyou turned back, he quickly looked away. He didnât want him to know he had been watching.
Qin Zhiyou exhaled deeply, stepped on the gas, and left.
It was raining a little outside today, and the road conditions were not especially good. Their car jerking to stops and starts, the interior was silent.
Eventually, they reached a junction. The light had turned red. Qin Zhiyou switched on the windscreen wipers and, after a while, asked, âIs it because momâs health is not doing well?â
Lu Weixi had been resting his arm on the car window and gazing outside. At Qin Zhiyouâs words, he was momentarily stunned, then replied, âHer radiation therapy will be delayed a bit. Weâll discuss it when she feels better.â
Qin Zhiyou nodded, listening to the âswooshâ sound of the wipers. Raindrops splattered on the windscreen, immediately swept away by the wipers.
âIs it because of the recent thing about me?â
Lu Weixi remained silent. But his silent response told Qin Zhiyou that he must have seen the trending topic, âActually Iâ¦â
âZhiyou.â Lu Weixi suddenly called him. Qin Zhiyou responded.
âThe light is green.â
âOhâ¦â
Qin Zhiyou nodded, stepped on the gas, and darted out. He wasnât sure if it was because of the pent-up frustration, but he drove recklessly. Even though the road was complicated, he zoomed through the tiniest gaps in the traffic, striving to go faster, faster still.@@novelbin@@
