Chapter 22

Qi Zhao could probably guess what Qin Zhuo was thinking, so he smiled at him and picked out what he wanted to hear most: "Then I will also attend the celebration party when your movie is finished. "

But by then she should have completed her mission and left the game.

Qin Zhuo's smile deepened: "Of course."

Qi Zhao filled up his wine glass and gave him a toast: "Then I wish Director Qin a good start and a prosperous career."

Although Qi Zhao smiled, his tone was very sincere.

After all, no matter how much she joked about her feelings, she would never joke about her career.

Qin Zhuo heard a trace of solemnity in Qi Zhao's tone and knew that she was not speaking politely.

Qin Zhuo had no reason to be unhappy after receiving the sincere blessing from his crush, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Qin Zhuo picked up the cup on his hand and drank a glass back, but there was no trace of alcohol in the cup: "Thank you, Mr. Qi, but today I will have tea instead of wine."

Qi Zhao joked when he saw Qin Zhao finish drinking. One sentence: "Why, are you afraid that you can't drink me?"

Qin Zhuo shook his head: "I'm afraid that I will be like Han Sansheng that day, because we all drank and had to find a driver to go back."

Qi Zhao glanced at the dishes on the table, He picked up his chopsticks and took a bite. Without looking, Qin Zhuo teased: "Can you drive?"

"Hey?"

Qin Zhuo smiled and raised his voice: "You don't believe I can drive?"

Maybe it was the two sips of wine just now. The alcohol in the drink took effect, and Qi Zhao relaxed unconsciously. He gave Qin Zhuo a piece of food and replied, "I just haven't seen you drive it before."

Qin Zhuo was stunned for two seconds, then picked up the dish. Putting the piece of meat on the plate into his mouth with chopsticks, he chuckled: "It's not that I haven't driven before, but I've quit."

Qi Zhao looked at him and smiled: "How can I still use ' quit' while driving?"

Qin Zhuo stared. He raised his eyebrows at her, and his tone was so casual that it finally suited his status as a super rich second generation:

"If you have been addicted for a while and then don't want to play anymore, just call it quits."

The eyes that fell on him were chic and flamboyant, and Qi Zhao finally had He felt that the Qin Zhuo in front of him and the flamboyant Han Sansheng were the same kind of people.

But Qi Zhao's momentum was not weak at all. She also raised her eyebrows at Qin Zhuo with a smile in her eyes: "How can you drive me home after you have quit?"

"Then break the habit."

Qin Zhuo looked at Qi Zhao's face His eyes were clear and sincere.

It turned into the familiar look of Qi Zhao again.

Seeing her eyes moving slightly, Qin Zhuo first pursed his lips and smiled, then said softly: "Then I'm looking forward to Director Qin's skills."

Qin Zhuo's cheeks suddenly turned red, and he spoke proactively as if he was afraid of disappointing her. Let her lower her expectations: "But I haven't touched the steering wheel for a long time, and I can't guarantee my driving skills now."

The atmosphere between the two was just right, and the air seemed to be filled with honey.

But the system has no sense of smell and cannot feel how sweet the atmosphere between them is.

When it detected the completely different fluctuations in the heartbeats of Qin Zhuo and Qi Zhao, the system now even felt that Qi Zhao was a little scary.

[Qi Zhao, do you have a body temperature that exceeds that of a human? Ever had a heartbeat? Have you ever smelled flowers? Have you ever shed tears? ! ]

Qi Zhao: "..."

Qi Zhao: "I told you to watch less movies."

Qi Zhao's tone was so calm that it was impossible to tell that she had just been "emotional".

When the system thought of her micro-expressions, tone and emotional changes just now, it couldn't help but sigh: [No wonder you could tell something was wrong at a glance when you were interviewing actors in Huajing. The most suitable actor for the film and television department to sign is you! ]

The system couldn't help but feel aggrieved for the sincere Qin Zhuo: [Poor Qin Zhuo, you were toyed with and applauded! ]

Qi Zhao rolled his eyes at the system: [Didn’t you already know who I was when you pulled me into this game? ]

[...Yes. 】

The system then realized that its host was a top-notch sea king among thousands of flowers that never touched him.

But it was really curious and couldn't help but ask: [Qi Zhao, have you ever been tempted? ]

Afraid that Qi Zhao's understanding of "tempting" was different from the traditional meaning of "tempting", the system added another sentence: "It's the kind of temptation that only likes one person and wants to be with him for the rest of his life." ]

Qi Zhao searched his memory and answered decisively: "No."

System: ...I knew it.

Unlike the speechless system, Qin Zhuo has been chatting passionately with Qi Zhao.

When Qin Zhuo sent Qi Zhao home, Qi Zhao did not forget to explain before getting off the car: "I will draft the contract in the next two days. If you see any clauses that you cannot accept, you will put them forward in time."

Seeing Qi Zhao's businesslike look, Qin Zhuo replied with a long voice: "I know, Director Qi."

After saying this, Qin Zhuo lowered his eyes, put his head on the steering wheel, and tilted his head across the car. Chuang stared at Qi Zhao with a hint of resentment in his eyes, and said in a dull voice: "Apart from work matters, don't you have anything else to say to me?"

As if he was being coquettish.

"Um..."

Qi Zhao frowned when he heard this, as if he was thinking seriously. After a while, he gave Qin Zhuo a thumbs up as if he thought of something, and praised: "Your driving skills are very good."

Qin Zhuo suddenly laughed. Qin Zhao stood up and said, "Who told you to say this?"

Qi Zhao looked at him and smiled, and put his hand away: "I will say this anyway, nothing else."

"Let's go." "Hey!"

Qin When Qin Zhuo saw Qi Zhao turning away, he quickly sat up straight and called out to her: "Just one sentence? It's too little." Qin Zhuo saw Qi Zhao's footsteps and

thought she would not talk to him again, but Qi Zhao turned the corner. He turned around a second before leaving.

The lights were dim, but the smile on Qi Zhao's face was bright.

"He also looks handsome when he drives."

Qin Zhuo couldn't hide the smile on his face: "How do you know who you are complimenting without saying his name?"

Qi Zhao raised his voice in the empty garage and said:

"Qin Zhuo is very handsome. "

The sound echoed in circles.

*

By the time Qi Zhao got home, it was already past nine o'clock.

She first changed her clothes and took a hot shower. When she walked to the dining room and opened the refrigerator door to get a bottle of milk to drink, she saw several boxes of eggs stacked inside and suddenly thought of Ji Yue.

After Qi Zhao drank the milk, he found his mobile phone and sent Ji Yue: [How long will it take to train in City C this time? 】

Afraid that Ji Yue would feel flustered again because he didn't see the message during training, Qi Zhao sent another sentence:

"No one stipulates that messages should be replied in seconds. If you didn't see my message because you were busy, you don't have to apologize." ]

But this time, as soon as Qi Zhao finished sending his second sentence, a message popped up from Ji Yue.

[Ji Yue: The coach said he would go back on the weekend. ]

Qi Zhao thought of the pile of energy bars in his arms that day, and asked again: [Have you eaten well recently? 】

Like Xiaoxiao who is concerned about a bad gastrointestinal condition.

Ji Yue took a while to reply this time.

[Ji Yue: Well, the restaurants in City C are delicious. 】

Qi Zhao unconsciously raised the corner of his mouth when he saw this sentence, not knowing what bad thoughts he had.

[Zhaojiu Plaything: Is the food in City C better or the food I cook? ]

[Ji Yue: You did it. 】

Reply in seconds with almost no pause.

The smile on Qi Zhao's face deepened.

However, Qi Zhao was afraid that it would delay Ji Yue's rest time, so he didn't chat with him for too long. He just told him to cook him a feast when he came back.

Ji Yue's training schedule seems to be very tight. Sometimes it takes him several hours to reply to the messages Qi Zhao sends him.

Qi Zhao was also busy with the preliminary screening and drafting the contract with Qin Zhuo.

Although Qin Zhuo had no requirements, Qi Zhao spent several days with the legal department just to confirm the contents of the contract.

Finally, the contract was signed with Qin Zhuo before the end of the working day.

Qi Zhao, who was blind after a busy week, collapsed on the bed, refused all social interactions and decided to enjoy the weekend.

After sleeping until he woke up naturally on Saturday, Qi Zhao suddenly thought of an excellent way to relax, that is - spending money.

Qi Zhao quickly packed himself up and drove straight to the largest shopping mall in the south of the city.

As a string of data, the system does not quite understand what makes people happy when buying things: [Why do you look so happy after shopping for so long and spending so much money? Do you like these clothes very much? 】

Qi Zhao looked at his cart of trophies and felt very happy: "Whether you like the clothes or not is secondary. The most important thing is to spend money to be happy."

What's more, the money spent was not hers.

No, specifically she spent money that she couldn't take away.

Qi Zhao couldn't help humming a ditty while driving.

He would be happier if he went home and drank some wine.

Qi Zhao, who was originally anxious to return home, accidentally looked out while waiting for the traffic light. There was a huge white building not far away, with five words on the top of the building:

Hanying Gymnasium.

It was the training venue where Jiyue was located that she had found on the Internet.

Qi Zhao's thoughts moved slightly. After hesitating for a few seconds, he changed course and drove to the gymnasium.

She remembered that Ji Yue said she would come back on the weekend and try her luck there.

There was no one guarding the entrance to the gymnasium, so Qi Zhao walked in easily.

She went up to the stands first. There were very few people in the hall, only a row of boys standing in a row listening to the coach at the front.

The skating rink was empty and Qi Zhao couldn't hear clearly what the man was saying. He could only see Ji Yue standing at the edge of the team.

He lowered his head, and the ends of his hair were already wet with a few drops of sweat.

Ji Yue's breathing rate was a bit fast, and her chest was undulating under a tight-fitting black top, reflecting the faint outline of muscles.

Qi Zhao had never seen Ji Yue dressed like this before. His skin color was originally white, but it was almost transparent against the background of black clothes and ice.

Qi Zhao smiled and found a seat close to them.

As soon as Qi Zhao settled down, he heard the coach praising Ji Yue: "...You should learn more from Xiao Ji. During the exchange and study with City C, Xiao Ji was the one who gave me the most face. He is the youngest but handles the most moves. You are so mature that you can't find anyone else in the country..."

Qi Zhao suddenly felt honored when he heard this for some reason, but Ji Yue, the person involved, had no reaction.

He still lowered his head, sometimes reaching out to wipe the fallen sweat.

The coach explained a few more words and then left. Qi Zhao saw Ji Yue sliding to the rest area and wanted to take a drink of water.

But as soon as Ji Yue picked up the water glass, others surrounded him like crucian carp crossing a river. The leading boy

sneered, stretched out his foot and hit the skates under Ji Yue's shoes hard: "Ji Yue, the coach just told us that we want to learn from you. You can teach us how to learn."

The shaking Ji Yue grasped the railing with her hands before regaining her balance.

Facing the man's provocation, Ji Yue remained silent. The vertebrae under her black clothes bulged as she lowered her head.

Seeing Ji Yue's silence, other people around him laughed out loud, then pulled off the only hand on the railing that was supporting Ji Yue's balance. She yelled at him: "Brother Yang is asking you a question!"

Ji Yue suddenly lost her balance and almost fell down.

They formed a circle like hyenas hunting, and Ji Yue, isolated in the center, was their only prey.

Ji Yue's hand holding the water glass gradually became stronger, but he was helpless in the face of the people who were already hugging each other.

"...I'm sorry."

When everyone heard Ji Yue's apology, a smile of success appeared on their faces. Just when the leading boy was about to reach out and push Ji Yue, he suddenly heard a female voice suddenly burst out from the gymnasium: "

What are you doing?!"

The first person to react was Ji Yue, who was surrounded in the middle. He suddenly raised his head.

Qi Zhao was holding on to the railing, his eyebrows raised and his face turned red with anger.

Everyone saw that the person who made the noise was a stranger. They were surprised as to why she was able to come in, and at the same time they didn't know how much she had seen and heard.

After the leading boy reacted, he slipped away and left. The fans behind him also fled the scene quickly.

When Qi Zhao hurried over, all the people were gone, leaving only Ji Yue standing there alone.

Qi Zhao's chest heaved up and down, and his voice rose unconsciously: "Where are those bastards?"

Ji Yue saw Qi Zhao's furious look and became at a loss: "Me, them, you..."

Qi Zhao thought about just now That scene almost made her lungs explode with anger: "□□□□, have they been bullying you like this?"

Ji Yue shook her head, as if to appease Qi Zhao's emotions but also to cover up: "No, no."

Qi Zhao's head was congested and he couldn't control his emotions: "Tell the truth!"

Qi Zhao saw Ji Yue lowering her eyes first, twisting her fingers helplessly, and then nodded slowly as if the parts were rusty.

Qi Zhao closed his eyes and took a deep breath, his body trembling for some reason.

Qi Zhao tried to calm down his emotions.

She first sat down with the overwhelmed Ji Yue, then knelt down and said to him softly: "Ji Yue, if they bully you, you have to tell the coach and your family."

Ji Yue raised her eyes after hearing this. He glanced at Qi Zhao.

There was a layer of mist in those beautiful eyes, and there was a layer of red under the mist and at the end of the eyes.

"Ji Yue, don't be afraid if you are wronged."

Qi Zhao's throat couldn't help but feel swollen: "... Just tell me, okay?"

The ripples in Ji Yue's eyes swayed again and again, as if there were many words hidden in them. .
