A breezy evening.

After finishing his work, Ji Zeqiu got on his agent's car and came to a very private club.

An artist in the circle had his birthday and invited many people to attend, and Ji Zeqiu was one of them.

As soon as he got off the car, he saw Shen Qingtang getting out of the car behind him. Like him, he was also here to attend the party.

Shen Qingtang raised her eyes and was stunned for a moment when she saw Ji Zeqiu. Before she could come to her senses, Ji Zeqiu walked towards her.

She tightened her grip around her handbag, and her heart began beating faster.

"Are you here to attend the party too?" Ji Zeqiu asked.

Unable to suppress the violent beating of his heart, Shen Qingtang's cheeks turned dark red and he nodded slightly.

Because they had the same destination, the two entered the club together and walked towards the party box.

On the way over, Ji Zeqiu mentioned the last time he invited her to Ji's. "I asked you if you wanted to join Ji's Entertainment before. How are you thinking about it now?"

"I... haven't thought about it yet..." Shen Qingtang's eyes flashed.

"Do you have any concerns about the Ji family? If you don't mind, you can tell me about it." Ji Zeqiu asked again.

"No, it's my problem..." Shen Qingtang bit her lips lightly, a hint of hesitation flashing across her eyes.

During this period, she has been struggling between switching jobs to Ji's and studying abroad.

As soon as she closed her eyes at night, she would think of what Sister Han had said: "Don't let your personal feelings affect your career."

If it were in the past, she would definitely choose to go abroad without hesitation, but now, she hesitated about Ji Zeqiu.

Whenever I think about not being able to see him again after going abroad, I feel an indescribable sadness in my heart.

Maybe it was really like what Sister Han said, she fell in love with him...

Shen Qingtang's thoughts were in a tangle. He had no idea what to do and even his steps stopped unconsciously.

The hands at her sides clenched tighter and tighter until the pain brought her back from her wandering thoughts. Only then did she realize that she had been standing there for a long time.

She raised her head in panic and subconsciously looked for Ji Zeqiu.

She stood there in a daze without saying a word. He must have thought she was weird and probably left in annoyance.

When we get to the box later, we'll find him and apologize to him first.

But when Shen Qingtang saw Ji Zeqiu, who was supposed to leave, standing with her, her body suddenly froze, "You... didn't leave?"

Ji Zeqiu leaned against the wall, without saying a word, just waiting for her quietly.

Seeing that her thoughts had finally come back, he raised his eyes slightly and looked at her, "You seem to be absorbed in your thoughts, so I don't want to disturb you. It's also not good to leave you here alone."

My mother also said that when walking with a girl, you must never leave her alone and walk in front.

Because of this matter, he was often scolded by his mother.

Shen Qingtang's heartbeat suddenly stopped, and her half-open lips forgot to close for a long time. She was stunned for a long time before she hurriedly looked away. Her ears, hidden by her long hair, quietly blushed.

He was always so polite and took care of her feelings in places that others wouldn't notice.

Not only on the set, but also on variety shows, he always helps her solve problems.

How could she not be moved by such a man?

"Sorry, I was just thinking about something. I didn't mean to leave you aside." Shen Qingtang hurriedly apologized to him.

Ji Zeqiu just smiled and said, "It doesn't matter."

His smile was gentle and indifferent, and there was no sign of dissatisfaction on his face.

Could it be that... she also holds a certain place in his heart, so he helps her time and time again?

Could it be that... he actually likes her a little?

Thinking of this, Shen Qingtang's heart began pounding and even his throat felt a little tight.

She rubbed her hot cheeks, took a deep breath, and looked at Ji Zeqiu firmly, as if she had made up her mind. "I have something to tell you after the party. Can you stay and wait for me?"

Ji Zeqiu looked surprised and was stunned for a moment by the serious look in her eyes. After a moment, he nodded and agreed.

……

The flickering lights shone in the box. Although there were not many people attending the party, it was still very lively.

The atmosphere of the party is luxurious and romantic, making people immersed in it.

Everyone was either chatting with friends or playing games, only Shen Qingtang was sitting quietly in the corner.

The expression on her face was calm and indifferent, but the pounding heart in her chest revealed her nervousness, and cold sweat oozed from her palms.

This tension continued until midnight, when the party ended.

Most people in the box had left, and she glanced at Ji Zeqiu who was waiting for her not far away.

Before going over, Shen Qingtang picked up the wine on the table and poured it down his throat in one gulp.

Drinking makes a man braver.

"Teacher Ji, I have something to say to you." Her eyes were as sharp as torches, staring at Ji Zeqiu closely.

"Hmm?" Ji Zeqiu looked at her.

Shen Qingtang took a deep breath.

Say it.

Maybe Ji Zeqiu also likes her a little bit?

Otherwise, how could I help her all the time?

Shen Qingtang's heartbeat became more and more intense, even her eardrums were filled with her heartbeat, "Actually, I like..." you for a long time.

"Jingle Bell……"

The sudden ringing of the phone interrupted the courage she had finally mustered, and the words she had yet to finish came to an abrupt end.

Ji Zeqiu looked at the phone call on his mobile phone with curved eyebrows, but he did not answer it. Instead, he looked at Shen Qingtang, "What did you say you liked just now?"

Shen Qingtang opened his mouth, but the rest of the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter them for several times.

She sighed secretly in her heart and shook her head, "You should answer the phone first."

"Okay, wait for me for a moment." Ji Zeqiu answered the phone and walked away.

Shen Qingtang stayed where he was, scratching his hair in annoyance.

Or how about having another sip of wine to give yourself courage?

Thinking of this, she raised her eyes to look at Ji Zeqiu, but caught a glimpse of the shy yet gentle expression on his face and was stunned for a moment.

He didn't know what he was saying to the person on the other end of the phone. His reddened ears revealed his inner shyness, and sometimes his eyes became very gentle.

It was something she had never seen before.

Is the person calling him the one he likes or his girlfriend?

correct.

She didn't seem to have asked him if he had a girlfriend. What if he had someone he liked?

Shen Qingtang froze in place, the passion he had just felt to confess his love was extinguished by the cold water.

The little bit of hope that rose in my heart was like a punctured balloon, it quickly deflated and flew away into the air.

She left before he finished the call.
