Outside the airport, in a black minivan.
Lou Yuming frowned, looking at Song Xi's shared location on his phone.
His face was grim, and the air around him was chilling.
Shao Cheng said, "Manager Liu had a heart attack and was delayed, but he's on his way now."
Hearing this, Lou Yuming's gloom did not lessen at all.
Shao Cheng suggested, "If it's impossible, we can go in first."
Unexpectedly, Lou Yuming suddenly turned off his phone, his dark eyes unfathomably deep, "If we go in now, we'll alert the enemy."
"Then what should we do? You should have sent someone to protect her earlier!"
He let out a soft hum, his eyebrows slightly raised.
Shao Cheng was shocked, "You mean... you've already sent someone? Then what are you so nervous about!"
"When was I nervous?" He denied it, stubborn as ever.
Shao Cheng sneered, "Even if the sky falls, your mouth can hold it up."
Lou Yuming: "..."
...
Meanwhile, in the restroom.
Song Xi was pondering her next move when Zhou Qiao came looking for her.
"Why did it take so long?"
Liu Sisi threw herself into his arms. Surprisingly, she didn't mention their earlier unpleasantness.
Song Xi was a little surprised. Did it mean... Liu Sisi had already sensed something was wrong, but she just couldn't believe it? After years of Zhou Qiao's gaslighting, she was unable to form independent thoughts.
Their flight was at ten o'clock at night, with an hour and a half left. They couldn't wait any longer.
So, when the bald man approached her proactively, Song Xi didn't refuse.
She struck up a conversation with the bald man, trying to find an opportunity.
The bald man was flattered. At first, he thought this woman was aloof, but he didn't expect her to be so forward. A glint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
Just as he was about to put his hand on Song Xi's shoulder, the disposable plastic cup in her hand suddenly overturned, splashing scalding hot water on him.
"Hiss—"
"I'm so sorry, handsome. Are you okay!"
The bald man's nascent anger was instantly extinguished by the word "handsome."
He grinned through the pain and waved his hand, "It's fine, it's fine!"
Song Xi looked apologetic, "Your hand is red. Why don't you take off your clothes, and I'll have a look?"
The bald man was shocked, thinking Song Xi was hinting at him? Although Zhou Qiao had told him not to cause trouble before leaving, if the other party made the first move, he couldn't be blamed.
"Okay."
He impatiently took off his jacket and was about to remove his sweater when Zhou Qiao looked up and saw the scene.
He lunged forward, stopping the bald man's actions, and then stared at Song Xi with a chilling gaze, "What are you two doing?"
Song Xi explained proactively, "I accidentally splashed hot water on him just now."
The bald man agreed, "Yes!"
Zhou Qiao said, "Taking off your clothes in public is not good. And it's just a little hot water, why are you being so dramatic, you big man?"
The bald man didn't react, saying, "She was just going to check it for me."
Zhou Qiao grabbed his shoulder with force, a hint of warning in his eyes, "I said, no!"
Only then did the bald man understand Zhou Qiao's hidden meaning. He put his jacket back on, looking regretful, "...Fine."
When Zhou Qiao returned to Liu Sisi's side, Song Xi deliberately said, "Men are people too. If you're in pain, don't hold back. I can help you find some medicine."
The bald man was stunned, surprised by her kindness. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"It's okay. When I fought with people before, I was more seriously injured than this."
Song Xi exclaimed, "You still fight?"
"Of course. If it wasn't for me, would Zhou Qiao and Liu Sisi be together!"
He wanted to show off in front of the woman and blurted it out, unintentionally revealing the biggest secret.
The bald man's face turned pale. He quickly observed Song Xi's expression, but she seemed uninterested, instead looking at him with admiration, "You're amazing."
The bald man's expression faltered, and he inwardly sneered.
How could this woman be even dumber than Liu Sisi?
He didn't want to miss this opportunity. If he could sleep with a female celebrity, how glorious would it be to tell people later!
"Handsome, what do you think of this pattern?"
As he was lost in thought, Song Xi suddenly moved closer to him, her phone displaying a star and moon pattern.
Her faint fragrance wafted to his nose, and the bald man felt his adrenaline surging.
He clenched his fists, trying to control his beastly desires, and said absently, "What is this?"
"A tattoo," Song Xi said naturally. "I've always wanted a tattoo, but my agent won't allow it. But I think I saw one on your hand just now, and it looked so cool."
