Gu Zhan didn’t hear it.
He was about to see Shi Yi soon, and it was no exaggeration to say his mind was completely blank. Before coming, he gnashed his teeth, thinking that when he saw her he definitely had to hold it together, to ask her how she could be so heartless. In reality, he realized everything he thought of was useless; the moment he saw the hotel sign, his brain stopped working. At a time like this, who could hear someone calling him?
Instead, it was Shi Yi who was very sensitive to the surname Gu. Hearing the producer’s pleasantly surprised shout, she reflexively turned her head.
!!! Shi Yi’s pupils trembled. It’s over, it’s over it’s over it’s over it’s over it’s over it’s over. Why would Gu Zhan appear here!!!
She instantly squatted down, a groundhog screaming in her heart, wishing she could disappear on the spot.
“Miss?” “Miss?” “Are you okay?” The cashier’s gentle voice woke her up.
Shi Yi cautiously peeked out, realizing Gu Zhan had already entered the hotel doors before she stood up, forcing an excuse, “I’m fine, my bag just dropped.”
“Alright, here is your bank card, please keep it safe.” The cashier maintained a professional smile, seemingly not noticing the bag sitting right on the checkout counter.
“Mhm mhm.” Shi Yi lifted her legs and left. Even though Gu Zhan didn’t spot her, he was so close to her! So close! 100 meters at most! A sprint would only take a dozen seconds! Shi Yi was like a hamster that discovered a cat prowling nearby; the whole hamster was unwell. She had no interest in paying attention to any producer or director anymore.
Coincidentally, the producer had no interest in paying attention to Shi Yi either. A golden opportunity was laid out right in front of his eyes; whether or not he could make a comeback depended on this. Both parties were absent-minded, casually exchanging a couple of pleasantries before parting ways. One hurried to the hotel, and the other turned around to go to the restroom.
Shi Yi was the one who went to the restroom.
Oh, before leaving, the producer was stopped by the cashier, who tactfully reminded him that he hadn’t paid the bill yet. The producer angrily cursed.
When talking about running away, the first reaction is always to pack up and run. Shi Yi’s first reaction was also this, but halfway there, her brain returned. Wait, that’s not right, Gu Zhan went to the Xingyun Hotel! Could it be that coincidental? Just that coincidental? Out of so many hotels, he just had to pick this one?
…He-he-he couldn’t be here to look for her, right????!
Shi Yi felt as if she had been struck by lightning. It was possible.
Fuck, this little fairy is about to curse! Having deviated from the plot for so long, she had actually forgotten that Gu Zhan was the male lead of the original novel! What is the concept of a male lead? It’s an existence favored by the author; his background, abilities, and looks are inevitably top-tier, meaning as long as he wants to find her, he could dig her up in a matter of minutes. Her returning to the country was simply throwing herself into a net!
Realizing this fact, Shi Yi felt the futility of life for a moment. Right now, only the women’s restroom gave her a sense of security. If Gu Zhan dared to enter even this place, Shi Yi would respect him for being a real man.
Shi Yi tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and opened her phone to seek help online: #Seeking advice, what should I do if the ex-boyfriend I dumped like a scumbag back then comes looking for me#. As the title says. The Original Poster (OP) ran into the ex-boyfriend last time. Fortunately I ran fast. Now the ex-boyfriend has come over again. What do I do? OP is panicking.
1st Floor: Kiss him. 2nd Floor: Hahaha, the bro on the 1st floor is stunning, highly recommend. 3rd Floor: Then you can only fight. You can do it OP, when enemies meet on a narrow path, the brave one wins. 4th Floor: If you can run, you should run. Meeting each other is awkward for everyone. Can OP run away? Shi Yi replied: Can’t run away…
5th Floor: It’s fine, as long as you aren’t awkward, the one who’s awkward is someone else. 7th Floor: The person above probably hasn’t dated before. Pursuing relentlessly definitely means lingering feelings. In this situation, you are naturally standing on the advantageous side. There’s nothing acting coquettishly can’t solve; if one doesn’t work, just do it again. 9th Floor: That’s a lower-tier move. Listen to me, sister, don’t hide. Take the initiative to go up and hammer his chest. Ask him: You bastard, how come you only found me now, I’ve missed you so much all these years.
16th Floor: 9th floor is a talent, a Sea King1 in reserve.
“…” Shi Yi: What if the scumbag behavior back then was a bit too much?
17th Floor: What level of ‘too much’?
Shi Yi: Like, breaking into the school broadcasting room out of anger during the breakup, and playing “xxx is a bastard” on loop.
28th Floor: “…” 29th Floor: “…” 50th Floor: “…” Hiss, sister, at your level, we can’t save you.
74th Floor recommends: “Well, how about you take down our hospital’s contact info?”
120th Floor: Hahahahahahahahahaha sorry, I gotta laugh first out of respect.
Shi Yi: “…” Just feeling very square2.
Actually, she couldn’t be blamed! Back then, both her parents had died. She was only in her teens. Facing such a sudden tragedy, wasn’t it normal to panic? Panicking, she went to find her boyfriend, only to see her boyfriend tutoring a girl. Wasn’t it normal to be angry? Turning around, she suddenly realized she might have transmigrated into a book, her boyfriend was the male lead, but the female lead he loved deeply wasn’t her. Wasn’t it normal to be flustered?
…Suffering so many blows in a row, she threw a fit and wanted a breakup just to be coaxed, that’s understandable, right? Because her boyfriend entered the door with his left foot first, she got angry and wanted to take a tiny bit of revenge, that’s also understandable, right? It was just a tiny, tiny, tiny bit of revenge.
Comforting herself in her heart that she wasn’t wrong couldn’t block out the guilty conscience and panic. Shi Yi’s eyelashes fluttered, and she decided to slip away.
The problem arose: how should she get her laptop back? There were still manuscripts in her laptop, manuscripts with her ex-boyfriend as the main character!
What if Gu Zhan saw it… Unimaginable.
She came out of the cafe restroom. Not daring to get close, she first asked a young girl to help her scout if there was anyone in the hotel lobby. The young girl’s eyes sparkled brightly. She came back and told her: Yes, just two men around forty or fifty years old.
Not in the lobby… The hotel’s security was very strict, entering and exiting required facial recognition and an ID card. Non-guests were not allowed to enter. Gu Zhan must be a guest. It was different from what she imagined. Could it really be a coincidence? Or was Gu Zhan at her room door? Shi Yi observed the hotel. Two possibilities, which one should she choose?
