March 30, 2008. Singapore.
Marina Sands Memory Center 7pm
Michelle and Joey are in the dressing room getting dressed.
"Hey, there's always a man picking you up from get out of class in college. Is he your boyfriend? Tell the truth!" Joey asked seriously.
"I don't want anyone to know who he is. Although I've been with him for seven years, I always feel oppressed." Michelle replied.
"What's wrong? Is he a playboy?! He has many girlfriends?! Or is he too outstanding, and you think you are not worthy of him?"
Joey asked anxiously.
"He might attend my graduation ceremony tonight. I told him not to come, but he said he would make time no matter how busy he was. It's such a headache!" Michelle replied.
"Ms. Michelle Chen, you are very lucky to have a man who can love you for seven years and never change his mind! Look at me! I has been with Jie Xun for three years, but his heart has never been with me! Let me think about, your boyfriend must be ugly, short and fat, so he can be devoted to you. He must be!" Joey said angrily.
"No more talking, it's almost our turn to go on stage." Michelle replied.
They walked out of the dressing room and were about to enter the meeting room.
Chengdong pulled Michelle's hand from behind...
"Dear, congratulations! This bouquet of flowers is for you." Chengdong said loudly and kissed Michelle's cheek.
The crowd was stunned.
"Oh! He... He is your boyfriend?! He is a famous model and famous anchor, Song Chengdong!! Mr. Song! Please sign my hand for me!" Joey said happily.
Many girls rushed to Chengdong. Michelle was very angry. Chengdong pushed the crowd away...
" Honey, I'll take you to the celebration party after the graduation ceremony." Cheng Dong said.
"Didn't you say you had a late shift tonight?" Michelle asked.
"No problem, my show doesn't start until 10 o'clock tonight. I can take you home after get off work." Cheng Dong replied.
"Dong, you don't have to take me to the celebration party. I can go with my friends." Michelle said.
Michelle walked away angrily.
"Brother Song, don't worry. Wait here." Joey replied.
They went into the conference center.
"Oh! So your boyfriend is Song Chengdong! Oh! He is a very famous model in Asia, and he is also the anchor of 935 Radio! You are so lucky!" Joey said happily.
"Then you can be his girlfriend. It's tiring to be with him." Michelle replied angrily.
"Oh! So Michelle's boyfriend is him. He is very handsome. But I saw him taking drugs frequently when I was working at the radio station last month. He looks pale and too thin. I don't know why so many girls like him. They must think he is a prince charming. Right, Michelle?" Jie Xun asked.
"He is not only good-looking, but also very careful and considerate. He is my first love." Michelle replied.
"It turns out that some people still like him. Alas, I understand that it is not easy to be with a famous person." Jie Xun said.
Graduation ceremony is over.
Michelle's parents and Chengdong are waiting outside the conference center.
"Chengdong, it's 9:30 now. Do you still want to send them to the celebration banquet? It will be very rushed." Yongkang said.
"No problem, uncle, don't worry. I will send her home after the ceremony." Chengdong replied.
"We are very relieved that you are her boyfriend ." Huiping said.
Just then Michelle and her friends came out.
"Let me introduce. This is my boyfriend, Song Chengdong. They are my college friends." Michelle said.
"Hello." Chengdong replied.
"No need to introduce. Song Chengdong! Everyone in Singapore knows him!" Jiexun said.
Chengdong remained silent and did not answer.
Joey hit Jiexun's hand...
"Quiet! So many words!" Joey said angrily.
Afterwards, they got into Chengdong's BMW X1.
In the car
"Rich people are different." Jie Jiexun said.
Michelle showed Chengdong the address.
"Oh, it's near Fengshan Temple." Chengdong replied.
"By the way! Mr. Song, do you remember me? I saw you in the elevator at the radio station that day. You seemed to be in pain and still taking drugs. Are you okay?" Jiexun asked.
Chengdong was so surprised that he almost forgot to look at the traffic light.
"Chengdong! Be careful! It's a red light!" Michelle said.
"Yes... I'm sorry I didn't notice it." Chengdong replied.
The three of them saw it.
Outside the bar where the celebration banquet was held.
Harry Outside the bar at 10pm
"I'll pick you up after 12pm." Chengdong said.
"Mr. Song, thank you for sending us here." Joey and Jiexun replied.
"You're welcome." Chengdong said.
In the bar, Jiexun helped Joey and Michelle get drinks.
"Is beer ok?" Jiexun asked.
They nodded.
"Michelle, I've known you for four years, and to be honest with you, that Song Chengdong is not honest. There are two possibilities: one, he is taking drugs, and two, he has a serious illness that he is hiding from you." Jiexun said.
"I also I feel that Song Chengdong is weird, especially when he heard what Jiexun said, he was so scared that he didn't even notice the red light. There must be something wrong. And he looks so pale." Joey answered.
Michelle remained silent and didn't answer.
"Hey! Don't talk about that. Michelle, how was your interview in Hong Kong?" Jiexun asked.
"Good news! I got the screenwriter job! And it's from a famous publishing house!" Michelle answered happily.
They chatted for several hours.
At one o'clock in the morning, Michelle received a text message. She opened it to read.
-Michelle, I came here half an hour ago You're all right, let's go have supper. - Chengdong
"Sorry, I should go back. Let's contact each other. Bye!" Michelle
Michelle walked out of the bar. She saw Chengdong holding his back, his face pale. She hid in a corner, and she finally saw Chengdong taking some pills. He drank a lot of water. Michelle cried. She wiped her tears and walked over.
"Chengdong, have you been waiting for a long time? Have you had dinner?" Michelle asked.
"No. Let's go eat now. I see you're hungry too?" Chengdong replied.
"Have you been feeling unwell recently? I just I saw you taking medicine." Michelle asked.
"I've been very busy at work these days. I don't eat regularly. My stomach problems and low blood pressure have recurred, so I've been taking medicine. I'm sorry to make you worry." Chengdong answered in a low voice.
"Let's go to McDonald's in West Coast Park for a midnight snack." Michelle said.
West Coast Park-McDonald's 140 am
Chengdong went to buy a midnight snack. 20 minutes later, he came back.
"I bought your favorite fish fillet burger set." Chengdong said.
"Why did you only buy an apple pie? Is it really okay for you to eat so little? You seem to have You hid a lot of things from me." Michelle asked.
"I'm fine, I'm just too tired to eat." Chengdong replied.
They were silent.
After eating, they took a walk in the park.
At the beach.
"Chengdong, how long have we been together?" Michelle asked.
"It should be 7 years. What's wrong?" Chengdong asked back.
"Then why did you hide so many things from me?!" Michelle asked angrily.
"What do you hear from others? Why would I hide it from you?" Chengdong asked anxiously.
"I'm really tired! Every time I go out with you, morning or late at night! I think we should calm down and think about our relationship. I feel too insecure when I am with you!" Michelle replied angrily.
"You are tired!? Then won't I be tired? I traveled to Singapore, Hong Kong and South Korea because of you! I didn't say a word! I don't know how much you love me?! But do you know how much I value you?" Chengdong cried.
Michelle turned around and saw Chengdong crying. She hugged Chengdong.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't be so loud. Chengdong, can you give up one of your careers? Even if it's not for me, Think about yourself. You've been in poor health lately." Michelle asked.
Chengdong nodded.
"It's late, I'll take you home." Chengdong replied.
It was 3 a.m. outside Chen's house.
Chengdong stopped the car.
"Chengdong! Don't be so nice to me, okay?!" Michelle asked angrily.
"Then can you be nicer to me? You never dare to say I'm your boyfriend in front of your friends! Do you know how uncomfortable I am?! On the contrary, I have never concealed the fact that you are my girlfriend! Why do you treat me like this?!" Chengdong asked angrily.
The noise of quarreling woke up Mi Qiang, Mi Xue's brother and her sister-in-law, Jia Ling. They went downstairs to see.
"I really don't want you to be a model anymore! You can go back to your father's company!" Mi Xue replied.
Before Cheng Dong answered, he held the car and almost fainted. Mi Qiang immediately ran over to hold him.
"Little sister! Enough, have you been crazy enough!?" Mi Qiang said angrily.
"Husband! Help Cheng Dong to the guest room to rest." Jia Ling replied.
"Brother, I'll help him upstairs. You guys go to sleep." Mi Xue said.
