Chapter 3 The Brilliant Moment When I Met the Stars Again (3)
"I don't." Su Manlei was completely annoyed, she stood up and patted the table vigorously, her voice was very sharp: "Why, you want to speak for her, a writer who is not popular? Is there something I don't know about you? Special relationship, have you forgotten what you promised me?"

Chu Xiao glanced at her indifferently, and her tone became cold: "Man Lei, that's enough, don't be childish."

"Am I being childish?" Su Manlei snorted, then turned around and ran out of the restaurant.

The strong aroma of coffee came out of the white porcelain cup on the dining table, and the curling heat was wafting upwards. Chu Xiaoyi stared at the cup dully, and suddenly didn't know what it was like.

One p.m.

Under the strong oppression of Bei Xi and Wen Zichen, Ji Mochao was pushed onto the bed, and was threatened, "If Wen Zichen doesn't ask her to have dinner, don't get off the bed" and so on.

It's really cold in winter...

Ji Moqing was thinking this when she got into the quilt.

The living room suddenly became quiet, only the sound of Wen Zichen typing on the keyboard could be heard, and he smiled when he saw the photo of yesterday's first book signing on the website.

When Bei Xi returned home, she immediately turned on her computer and checked the news about signing in No. [-] Bookstore on Ji Moqing's official website. After seeing a few messages reporting on the signing event, she clicked into the forum again. Suddenly, his hands froze—

Ji Moqing refuses to sign for readers!
The talented and beautiful writers of the new generation are defiant!
Ji Moqing's agent said that he will come to Xinhua Book Shopping Center to sign the sale next week. According to reliable sources, Ji Moqing has no such arrangement at all, and Xinhua Book Shopping Center has never heard of it!
Ji Moqing deceived readers!
The scolding posts actually occupied the entire front page of the forum, and all of them were pinned to the top with red letters, and the number of people visiting and replying to the posts was gradually increasing.

It's really cold in winter.

Not only is the weather cold, but people's hearts are also cold.

Ji Moqing's home.

Wen Zichen stared intently at the scolding posts and news on the computer screen, expressionless, and didn't even notice that the mobile phone vibrated several times in a row.

Because Ji Moqing needed to rest, he set the phone to silent and only turned on the vibration.

After a few minutes, he finally picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.

"What's the matter with the post on the official website, didn't yesterday's signing go smoothly?" The person on the other end of the phone was obviously extremely angry, and the voice was so loud that his ears hurt.

Wen Zichen took a deep breath, and replied calmly: "It's just from a boring person, and it will be fine in a few days."

"Also, does Ji Moqing have any arrangements to sign at the Xinhua Book Shopping Center?" The man asked again loudly.

"It's not on the itinerary, but she did announce yesterday that she will go to the Xinhua Book Shopping Center to sign the book." Wen Zichen spoke in a very low voice, but held the phone a little harder.

"Since there is no arrangement, why do you want to sign a sale?" The person on the other end of the phone was obviously more angry, "Are you hyping? We are the largest youth literature publishing house in the country, and I don't want the authors who signed with us to fall into this situation." In the midst of such a bad reputation scandal! It will affect the reputation of our company."

"It's definitely not hype," Wen Zichen became a little excited: "She just wants every reader who likes her to be able to do so! But her physical condition does not allow her..."

"As her manager, can't this little matter be settled?"

"But..." Before Wen Zichen finished speaking, he heard the person on the other end of the phone say, "Tomorrow, I don't want to see such news on the official website." The busy tone of "beep beep".

Ji Moqing lifted the quilt and sat up. The door in the room was not closed tightly. If you look carefully, you can see Wen Zichen's figure. He is sitting on the sofa with his head down, unable to see his expression clearly.

It was too quiet in the huge house, and Ji Moqing heard everything that was said on the phone. Suddenly, she shrank her body and burrowed into the warm quilt again.

There was a chill in the silent room, probably because the windows were not completely closed.

【ten】

The posts abusing Ji Moqing on the official forum lasted for a week. Every day, countless netizens browsed the posts and left messages. Occasionally, some readers who defended Ji Moqing appeared, but the posts they sent soon sank.

But Ji Moqing himself did not make any response.

"It has arrived."

The car parked smoothly on the side of the road. Ji Moqing stretched out her hand to open the door. In the blink of an eye, a warm hand covered her cool hand. Ji Moqing raised her eyes to meet his warm gaze.

"Wait a minute." Wen Zichen tugged at her collar, and carefully tied her scarf tighter, "It will be warmer this way, and the cold is just right. Don't let it recur, I'll be worried."

Ji Moqing only took one look, and pushed open the car door with one foot and already stepped out. It's really cold in winter, and the cold wind blew on her cheeks, making her cheeks hurt like a knife.

"Qing Mo."

Just as he took a step, he stopped him again. Ji Moqing stood by the car door holding his notebook and looked back at him, his eyes slightly dazed.

"I'm already arranging the signing of the Xinhua Book Shopping Center. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. Don't worry about doing what you want. I'll make arrangements there later. Call me before get out of class is over. Come pick you up."

With a slight nod, Ji Moqing turned around and walked away the next moment.

The two have been together for a long time, and there are some things that you don't need to say. Although he never mentioned this matter to her these days, he also believes that she knows it well.

And all he can do is protect her.

As soon as Chu Xiao looked at Ji Moqing who was walking towards him, she stopped in her footsteps, and Ji Moqing seemed to be walking like this without seeing him. The moment she passed by, her hand suddenly loosened, and a book He fell out of his arms.

In the quiet morning, with this sound, it seems that several eyes have already looked towards this side.

Just as she was about to bend down to pick it up, a hand picked it up faster and handed it in front of her: "Here."

"Thank you." Ji Moqing held the book in her arms again as if she had no feelings at all, turned around and left indifferently, ignoring Chu Xiaoyi's slightly froze expression.

She lowered her head and walked forward slowly. When she silently counted to the tenth step, Chu Xiaoyi called her from behind: "Ji Moqing."

Hearing this cry, Ji Moqing stopped but did not turn around.

"I saw that there are many posts about you on the web these days." Chu Xiao paused and continued, "The things said in the posts are not true, but those people deliberately hyped them up."

The strength of holding the notebook and the book was a little more focused, and when she turned her head, she met Chu Xiaoyi's eyes. Those dark eyes seemed to hide the feelings she couldn't see clearly, and she opened her mouth slowly and asked——

"Who are you."

With plain words, Chu Xiaoyi vaguely felt that she was different from the first time he saw her, as if she had become another person.

Unapproachable indifference.

"My name is Chu Xiaoyi." His voice was also very low.

"What if I say it's my own hype?" Ji Moqing looked at him with a half-smile, her long hair was blown up by the wind, and the cold wind seeped into her collar, making her a little cold.

Chu Xiaoyi actually laughed, and the smile was extraordinarily beautiful: "It's not what you said."

"Why do you say no." Ji Moqing frowned.

"Because I believe you're a writer who doesn't need hype to raise his profile."

"And why do you believe it?" Ji Moqing asked again.

"Because a person's heart can be seen from a book." His voice was very determined and calm, as if the words that came out of his mouth were naturally recognizable.

— Believe that you are a writer who does not need hype to raise your profile.

——Because a person's heart can be seen from a book.

"But your belief can't change anything, don't you understand." Ji Moqing's voice was so cold that there was no trace of warmth.

【eleven】

Do you know what happens when it gets dark?

stars and moon.

And what else would there be?

And you.

why.

Because the sky in my heart is full of you and stars.

You are the stardust in my heart.

【twelve】

As long as you turn around, you will never be seen again.

As long as you turn around, you can abandon everything, including love, family, friendship, everything will cease to exist.

He obviously just called and promised to come here in 10 minutes, why hasn't he arrived after 10 minutes?
Raising his head, the slight sunlight in the sky was blocked by overcast clouds, there was no warmth in the air, the cold wind was blowing his long hair flying, and his blurred eyes didn't know which direction he was looking at.

Slowly reaching out to tighten the scarf, when she raised her eyes, she saw Chu Xiaoyi and Su Manlei walking out, and Ji Moqing immediately turned her gaze to the other side.

Still no sign of the car.

Turning his head again, he could only see the figure of him walking away holding hands with her in another direction.Going farther and farther, so far that she can no longer see, so far that she can no longer touch.

Ji Moqing withdrew her gaze, took out her mobile phone and was about to call Wen Zichen, the moment she opened the "phone book", the mobile phone vibrated strongly, and an unfamiliar number flickered on the screen.

This phone only has Wen Zichen's phone number stored on it, and there has never been a call from an unfamiliar number, and she has never had the habit of answering calls from strangers.I thought it would stop after one ringing, but unexpectedly, the phone kept ringing non-stop. After several minutes of continuous ringing, there was no sign of the caller wanting to stop.

Finally, she pressed the answer button.

"Hello, this is the Second People's Hospital. Are you Wen Zichen's family?"

"I'm his friend." The fingers holding the phone increased strength, and the fingertips turned slightly white.

"Hi, here's the thing. Your friend Wen Zichen got into a car accident and is now in a coma and needs to be hospitalized. If it's convenient, please come over and go through the hospitalization procedures, thank you."

For a moment, Ji Moqing couldn't find her voice. She didn't say until the person on the other end of the phone called her a few more times, "...Okay."

After hanging up the phone, she immediately stopped a car and drove towards the Second People's Hospital.

Second People's Hospital.

Walking in the long corridor of the hospital, that eerie feeling has been permeating her nerves, the smell of disinfectant is too irritating, if Wen Zichen hadn't been hospitalized, she would never want to go into such a place again for the rest of her life .

Ward 403.

Ji Moqing gently pushed open the door, and a gaze was fixed on her very accurately.

Wen Zichen was half lying on the bed, his head was wrapped with layers of thick gauze, and blood was already oozing from his forehead. He had a very surprised expression at first, but after a while, he put on a faint expression. With a gentle smile, as if nothing happened: "Mo Qing, why did you come here?"

Ji Moqing stopped but didn't come in, just quietly leaning against the door and looking at him, his thoughts seemed to return to three years ago, when he was in a car accident, he was lying on the hospital bed like this, his face was covered with white gauze It looks so terrible.

If it weren't for them, how could she have had a car accident at that time?
If it wasn't for the car accident that disfigured her, how could she change the face similar to her mother?

There was a sudden throbbing pain in the bottom of my heart, and the bitterness was unbearable.

Seeing that she hadn't moved, Wen Zichen called her worriedly: "Mo Qing, what's wrong with you?"

Ji Moqing came back to her senses, and said in a cold voice, "I just came to see if you were dead." The next moment she was already sitting by the hospital bed, her eyes were full of reproach, "Tell me, what the hell is going on?" Why are you in the hospital."

It sounds like a question, but it is very much like an order.

"It's just a little thing."

"Really." Ji Moqing looked into his eyes seriously, "Is that so? Is it a small thing to get into a car accident? Wen Zichen, if you die, what will happen to my signing party? If you die , who will arrange my itinerary; if you die, who else will come to see me in the middle of the night, worrying about my life and death."

"Everything says I'm dead..." Wen Zichen smiled silently, "It seems that I can't die."

Ji Moqing ignored his joking words, and continued: "Wen Zichen, are you a fool or an idiot? Why don't you pay attention at all, are you not careful at all, have you ever thought about me?"

Wen Zichen was shocked by her gaze and was speechless.

"The way you look now undoubtedly reminds me of who I was in that year. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would not be here anymore." Her voice gradually dropped.

"So I beg you, only once, I only allow you to indulge yourself this once. In the future, if you do something like this again, don't appear in front of me again."

As if the softest part of my heart was stimulated by her words, Wen Zichen put his hands across her shoulders forcefully, his warm and somewhat pale lips immediately attached to her forehead, and kissed her softly, Then she gently let go, calling her name in a low voice: "Mo Qing, I'm so glad you said that..."

Ji Moqing's body froze immediately, her fingers stopped moving like stones, she turned her head and looked out the window.

The breath of the two people quietly flowed in the air together with the gradually accelerating heartbeat.

The more silent, the more chaotic.

The sunlight came in from the window and reflected on her flawless face. Even though he was used to her quietness, he also became uneasy at this moment.

Just now he... kissed her...

This is their first intimate contact in a long time...

a long time.

Seeing that she was silent, he called her name a little uneasy: "Mo Qing, I am..."

"I have completed the hospitalization procedures. Have you notified your family? Do they know?"

Wen Zichen was stunned when he heard this. He shook his head and said, "Not yet, I don't need to let them know, Mo Qing, I'm just worried about you in my heart. This kind of thing happened because I was in a hurry. And I It's just a mild concussion, there's no need to be hospitalized, not to mention that I need to talk to you at the signing event at the Xinhua Book Center tomorrow..."

"Have you made all the arrangements?" Ji Moqing's voice suddenly became soft, and there seemed to be a gentle smile in his eyes, which made him think for a moment whether he had read or felt wrong.

"It's all arranged."

"Since you've made all the arrangements, I can go by myself. You can stay here and recuperate." After finishing speaking, Ji Moqing stood up and turned her back to him, "Ah Chen, in fact, without you, I would be the same." You can arrange it yourself."

Yes, of course she can without him.

But without her, he couldn't do anything.

I don't want to say anything more. After so long, he has already understood Ji Moqing's behavior style very well. She just does her own way and doesn't care.

When she regained her senses, Ji Moqing had already reached the door of the ward.

"Tomorrow Saturday, the signing will start at [-]:[-] am and end at [-]:[-] pm. If possible, let Bei Xi go with you." He was really worried that she would go alone.

Ji Moqing glanced back at him: "Bei Xi is not my manager, so he has no obligation to accompany me to the signing. Wen Zichen, please get better soon."

Only a second later, that tall and beautiful figure had disappeared from his eyes.At this moment, Wen Zichen understood that in the world that belonged to her, not only that one person would exist with a special identity——

In a certain corner of the world, there is still him.
