Qiao Jing Jing had been extremely busy in these two months.
Facts proved that, as a celebrity, being willful and resting for more than a month indeed will have consequences. This was because the earlier deferred work did not disappear while her current work also had to be completed. In addition, there were all kinds of end-of-the-year awards ceremony and events, the film she had shot last year about food had been moved up in schedule and promotional work was starting up ahead of time…
The various feelings of this lifestyle were really too beautiful to describe.
One day, Qiao Jing Jing returned again to the hotel at three in the morning . Before she fall head first into bed and fall asleep, she suddenly thought of Yu Tu. In extreme tiredness, she hazily thought, even if Yu Tu that time had agreed to be with her, with her being so busy now, he probably would still want to break up?
While she was thinking this, she, surprisingly, couldn't help laughing.
The next day, when she was brushing her teeth and recalling this thought, Qiao Jing Jing felt that she probably had already started to forget.
So fast.
But at this age, in this industry, perhaps this kind of speed was the norm.
A few days before Chinese New Year, Qiao Jing Jing participated in an event in Beijing. She ran into Su Ye at the cocktail party after the event.
She didn't see him at first, but Su Ye was the kind of person who exuded an aura that attracted everyone's attention. As Qiao Jing Jing inadvertently glanced at that lively spot in the middle of the cocktail party, she happened to meet his eyes.
Then he walked up to her and handed her a glass of colorful cocktail.
"The flavour mix is pretty nice. Give it a try."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone around, Qiao Jing Jing politely took it. "Thank you."
The person who had been chatting with her left with a meaningful smile. Su Ye looked at her, his eyes intense. "Long time no see. How have you been lately?"
Qiao Jing Jing gave her official polite reply: "Not bad."
"I thought that would be the case. As soon as I turn on all kinds of social media, I'll see your news."
Qiao Jing Jing frowned: "Not to such an extent."
Overexposure will easily make people become fed up and is not considered a good thing for an actress. Her team always kept control on this.
"Oh, maybe it's because I click on news about you too often, so the software will automatically push them to me."
Qiao Jing Jing's eyelashes fluttered and then she smiled. "Then, thank you for giving me so many clicks."
The attention on them was becoming more and more. Qiao Jing Jing was thinking of leaving after a few more words, but Su Ye did not seem to have any intention of ending the conversation. He took a sip of wine, then unexpectedly asked, "So, the one I saw in your house that day is actually your senior high school classmate?"
Qiao Jing Jing:
"....You pay attention to online gossip too?"
"Didn't I just tell you? I clicked too many times. Anyway this one actually was not because of that." Su Ye chuckled. "I was there that day at the KPL exhibition match that you were in."
With Qiao Jing Jing's surprise gaze on him, he added, "The VIP lounge upstairs."
"Oh, that's the reason." After the brief surprise passed, Qiao Jing Jing skated over the topic with a sentence, not intending on asking why he would be there. She vaguely remembered that when she first used her WeChat account to play games, Su Ye seemed to be in the list of game friends… She would just treat it as if he was interested in the game and that was why he went.
Su Ye, with one hand in his pocket, looked graceful. "He plays very well. A talented student from Tsinghua. A man like him must also have been very attractive in high school?"
Qiao Jing Jing:
"..."
She was a bit suspicious; did Su Ye think that back then he was a fallback guy?
Sure enough, he asked in the next sentence, "So, is he one of the reasons why you broke up with me so easily?"
Qiao Jing Jing:
"…It's really surprising that Chief Su is so lacking in confidence."
Su Ye looked deeply into her eyes. "Because when you looked at me, there was never that kind of gaze."
What kind of gaze?
Qiao Jing Jing let her eyes meet his for a moment. She then bowed her head and took a sip of wine, suddenly finding this ridiculous.
When she was together with Su Ye, she had already joined the entertainment industry for several years. The work was busy and the interpersonal relationships were varied and complicated. The emotion of the era of her youth had long faded to become memories. Her choice to be with Su Ye of course come out of sincerity. And their break up also had nothing to do with Yu… other people.
However, now, there was no need to explain to him either. He could think what he wanted. They hadn't agreed to remain friends after their breakup anyway, so she did not need concern herself with his emotional health.
"I don't think there is any need anymore to discuss these things." Qiao Jing Jing raise her glass at him.
"Yes." Su Ye agreed like a gentleman, "People should always look ahead."
Qiao Jing Jing had no intention of thinking over the deep meaning of his words. She felt that they had chatted enough, so she wanted to leave. Coincidentally, a young lady came to exchange conventional greetings with Su Ye, so she took the opportunity to take her leave: "I'm going to look for a friend to chat. Chief Su, feel free to do as you please."
Unexpectedly, Su Ye said, "Wait a moment, there is one more thing."
With that, it was not appropriate for Qiao Jing Jing to leave. The guest's expression also looked a little awkward. Only Su Ye was still graceful and calm as he exchanged a few words with her.
After she left, Su Ye turned to Qiao Jing Jing once again.
"There is something that I haven't been able to find the right opportunity to say to you."
"What?" Qiao Jing Jing was indifferent. She saw an acquaintance appear at the doorway of the venue, raise a hand, and wave to her.
"Actually, I went to your house that day to apologize to you."
Qiao Jing Jing was surprised and focused her attention on him once again.
Su Ye said with a normal, easy tone, "The video of you playing games was leaked by my ex-girlfriend. Of course, as a result, she has already become an ex-girlfriend."
Qiao Jing Jing:
"..."
This time her face was really covered with a look of "What the heck?" After inferring the entire cause and effects, Qiao Jing Jing felt this was somewhat inconceivable. "You are in my WeChat friends list… So both of you watched me play game and then even recorded it and posted it online?"
Su Ye looked intently at her. "Not both of us, only I watched. I played the game for a while. I just happened to see you playing and found it very amusing, so I saved it. I don't know how she found it, even posted it online after making a copy of the recording …..I was not careful, I'm sorry."
Qiao Jing Jing simply had nothing to say, "With status like yours, Chief Su, why is your mobile phone not password protected?"
Su Ye's face had a lofty, apologetic look. "My fault. I am careful about everything, but this was one oversight. I was careless."
"…I should have added you to my blacklist earlier. But is your girlfriend feeling very sad now?" Qiao Jing jing raised her eyebrows slightly. "Make sure you help me to tell her, thanks to her undeserved kindness, my game endorsement fee has tripled."
"Ex-girlfriend." Su Ye smiled. "I am single now."
He looked at her, and there seemed to be infinite meaning in his eyes. "You did very well and made me sit up and take notice."
"I've always wanted to find an opportunity to apologize to you. But I have been abroad for work for the past two months and just returned home this morning. I heard that you would be attending this event, so I came over immediately." Saying that, he paused for a while. "I don't know if you have time in these next couple of days, to let me express my apology again."
"That's not necessary. It's already resolved anyway." It is not possible to pursue and assign fault and responsibility in this kind of matter can't be pursued, and it is also meaningless to pursue it. Qiao Jing Jing recorded into her mind, but on her face, she simply showed magnanimity.
"Chief Su, simply protect your mobile phone well in the future, and that will be good enough." She couldn't help but jab him with a sentence.
Su Ye appeared as if he had not expected she would decline, and he raised his eyebrows slightly.
"If Chief Su has no other matter, I will take my leave."
"There is."
Qiao Jing Jing:
"..."
She was merely being socially polite!
"I still want to ask you another question."
Qiao Jing Jing looked at him.
"On the stage that day, you said you are still single on the stage. Is it true?"
He lifted his glass to his lips and took a sip, the corner of his mouth curved in a smile. His handsome features were full of confidence. "If it is true, is Miss Qiao interested in starting a new love relationship? Of course, it would be with an old acquaintance."
