"I'm fine. What about you, Qi Mi? ”

"Me. I'm okay too. Long time no see. ”

"yes. It's been 3 years. How are you? ”

"Me. It's okay. What about you? ”

"I..." Luo Ning hesitated for a moment, and then chose to change the topic, "It was really dangerous just now. Thank you so much. ”

"No, I don't. You're welcome. ”

Qi Mi and Luo Ning, who were given the opportunity to be alone, were soon speechless after a few embarrassing greetings.

They looked at each other awkwardly, awkwardly avoiding each other's hot gazes, but even more embarrassed to look at each other affectionately again. In the turbulent but almost stagnant atmosphere, the two could only keep scratching their heads and smiling awkwardly, but they didn't know how to make the atmosphere harmonious and how to continue the long-awaited dialogue in each other's hearts.

It's not that they're relatively silent because of the passage of time, but they each have a thousand words in their hearts, and they really don't know where to start for a while.

Before the two of them could clear their chaotic thoughts and start talking, the sound of helicopter blades rumbling in the sky was already heard.

At the same time that rescue helicopters were flooding the shores of Lake Geneva, cheering up the desperate fleeing crowd, Derek was in a state of depression. Because when he and Lili walked to the door of the helicopter cabin that landed not far from them, they found that Milovich, who had almost had a physical altercation with him, was sitting in the cabin smiling and waving to Lili.

To make matters worse, seeing Milovic sitting in the cabin, Lili boarded the helicopter without saying a word, causing Derek to follow along.

As soon as Derek, who was in a bad mood, boarded the plane, he shouted at the flight attendants to take off quickly, saying that ensuring Lili's safe evacuation was the most important thing, and that he could bear all the costs for this.

However, the helicopter completely ignored his cries and remained completely motionless. Milovic, who has been smiling and salivating at Lili since she boarded the plane, said with disdain: "The purpose of the rescue plane is to rescue more people." Miss Lili is beautiful and kind, and she is unlikely to be willing to evacuate first, ignoring the passionate fans who are in danger. ”

Just as the indignant Derek was about to fight Milovic again, Lili smiled at Milovic and said in a gentle voice, "Mr. Milovic is right. Human life is at stake, and saving people is the priority. ”

As soon as Lili finished speaking, three people entered the cabin through the open helicopter hatch. They are Jenney, a reporter from Esper, Zhu Xingle, a reporter from Mingse, and Hu Wei, an art critic who left the floating island stands.

Coincidentally, Derek knew both Chu Xingle and Jenney, and both had a very bad impression of them.

Derek's dislike for Chu Xingle and Jenney can be traced back to a Canas film festival many years ago.

During that film festival, Zhu Xingle, who was still an ordinary paparazzi, was lucky enough to photograph Derek dating 5 female movie stars, including the best actress at the film festival, one night. and quickly became popular after the exclusive exposure of the matter, and soon became a world-renowned entertainment reporter.

That incident didn't bother Derek in the first place. But who would have thought that the husband of one of the five actresses would be angry and resolutely assassinate Derek after learning that his wife was being toyed with by Derek through the popular entertainment news report that swept the whole of Es.

The suicide assassination did not kill Derek, but it killed Derek's father, who blocked the bullet for his son at a critical moment.

The reason why Derek hates Jenney is because she interviewed Derek after he inherited the HL business.

During that interview, Jenney somehow got all sorts of shady material that Derek herself no longer remembers. It turned a business interview into a private life exposé and criticism conference, which directly led to a sharp drop in HL's stock price. It wasn't until Derek held a press conference and publicly stated that he would no longer be involved in HL's corporate affairs that HL's stock crash came to an end.

Zhu Xingle and Jenney appear at the same time, quickly awakening a series of unpleasant memories that lurk deep in Derek's heart.

For a moment, Derek felt as if he had returned to the scene of the shooting that had been triggered by his momentary absurdity. In a pool of blood from his father and the assailants, in front of the body of the assassin who had already killed himself with a bullet and his brain shattered, Derek clung to his dying father and wept for his father for the first time in front of countless cameras and flashing lights.

"I'm sorry son. Actually, I've always loved your mother. I. Not a moment when I didn't think about her. I'm sorry. I was the one who let her down. I shouldn't have her off that day. I. It's all my fault. Now I can finally go and see her. Child. Live well. Your mother and I hope to see, you, be happy..." Derek will never forget his father's dying words. Because of that passage, he could finally let go of the sad memory that had been stuck in his heart.

It was a sunny afternoon when Derek was 7 years old.

That day, Derek, as usual, had fun playing with his neighbors after school. However, when he ran home contentedly and urged by hunger, he saw his parents, who had not noticed him coming home, arguing loudly in the living room.

It was a terrifying sight that Derek had never seen before. He always vividly remembered that day his mother was so agitated that she smashed everything she could reach to the ground; I remember her face full of tears, hysterically yelling at her father, "Why are you doing this? ”

And the disheveled father, under the mother's resentful gaze, stood motionless, repeating the same sentence with a flushed face: "I'm sorry." I'm sorry. ”

Then the mother turned around, but the father hugged her. Then, they pulled, pushed, yelled, and stalemate...

In the end, the mother finally broke free from her father's embrace, ran out of the villa, ran across the lawn, rushed out of the small iron gate in the middle of the square shelter, and disappeared into the huge and fleeting glimpse of a heavy truck flying out with the screeching sound of brakes.

The father, on the other hand, at the moment when the mother disappeared, instantly distorted his face into a terrifying expression that Derek had never seen before, and roared hoarsely, "No! He staggered out of the villa, ran across the lawn, rushed out of the iron gate, and disappeared into the avenue where there was nothing.

Then, Derek ran out of the room, who was hiding behind the couch. He wanted to follow his parents, but before he went out, he heard a woman's voice. He distinctly remembered that the brass bell-like voice whispered to him, "Little cutie." Do you want to find your dad? I would suggest that you stay at home honestly and wait for him to come back. ”

In response to the female voice, she turned her head and saw a blonde woman in a suspender suit, with her twin peaks half-exposed, leisurely touching up her makeup in front of the round makeup mirror in her hand. Although he had not yet developed any physical impulses towards her at the time, he instinctively chose to listen to the beautiful woman's words and gave up his original plan to open the door and run away.

Without waiting for Derek to reply, the blonde had taken her coat from the cloakroom, stepped on her high heels, twisted her plump buttocks, and walked out of the villa unhurriedly, across the lawn, out of the iron gate, and disappeared into the enigmatic avenue.

It was really a mystery to a 7-year-old who didn't quite understand why his mother never came back and the bewitching woman never showed up again.

It wasn't until he was 12 years old that Derek didn't understand what had happened that enigmatic afternoon.

That night, he and a few precocious classmates went to a friend's house to watch the graduation party hosted by his brother, who graduated from high school. After drinking for an unknown number of years, dancing for an unknown number of songs, a few drunken sisters, surrounded Derek and a few other young little fresh meat at the party, and stuffed their heads between their warm twin peaks...

After that, Derek gradually turned into an absurd swinger, and eventually killed his own father because of it.

After the death of his father, Derek once said goodbye to the absurd life of spending days and drinking and indulging in indulgence. However, the lonely life soon forced him to return to his gentle hometown, relying on drunken dreams and love and passion to comfort his lonely and empty life.

But in the midst of the bright lights, the singing and dancing of the warblers, and the clouds and rain, Derek did not really experience the feeling of love.

It wasn't until I met Lili Mintlis that I heard her say the unforgettable sentence "You came to this world to love me!" Love me endlessly! ”

At that moment, Derek felt his heartstrings tremble, and for some reason remembered what his father said to him when he was dying: "I hope you can regain your love." Yes, find true love. I hope you can be happy. ”
