The sound of the lock was particularly harsh to Zhao Ruozhi's ears.

"Why lock?"

"The security here is not very good, and you should lock it as soon as you go home to avoid being robbed."

Seeing Zhao Ruozhi's nervous appearance, Su Xiaoyu chuckled and pinched Zhao Ruozhi's chin and said, "Since you have agreed to my request to be my girlfriend, is it really so annoying?" You know, the people chasing me are already lining up in New York. ”

Zhao Ruozhi wanted to break free of Su Xiaoyu's hand, but he didn't expect that the more she struggled, the tighter he squeezed.

"What the hell do you want to do?" Zhao Ruozhi's voice began to tremble slightly.

"I don't want to do anything."

Su Xiaoyu smiled wickedly and brought his face to a place only one centimeter away from Zhao Ruozhi.

The warm snort sprayed on the face, and it felt itchy, crispy, numb, and had a faint mint smell.

Su Xiaoyu put his other hand around Zhao Ruozhi's waist and led her to the upstairs bedroom.

Just when Zhao Ruozhi thought that he was on the thief ship, Su Xiaoyu let go of the hands that bound her.

Seeing Zhao Ruoyi's puzzled face, Su Xiaoyu teased: "You are so eager to ......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Ruozhi's face was already red and about to drip blood.

"Don't you want to...... Is it? ”

Su Xiaoyu laughed and said, "I won't touch you until you sincerely accept me." You can rest assured of that. ”

Zhao Ruozhi responded in a low voice.

"Just now it was just for people outside to see." Su Xiaoyu tilted his head and looked at Zhao Ruozhi and said, "You should know all these little things, right?" ”

Zhao Ruozhi nodded.

"Get some rest, there's still a lot to do tomorrow."

After Su Xiaoyu finished speaking, he left through a small door in the room.

After Su Xiaoyu left, Zhao Ruozhi lay down on the bed without strength, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep.

Maybe it's because I'm too tired that I can't sleep all night.

Early the next morning, when Zhao Ruozhi came downstairs after washing, Su Xiaoyu was already sitting at the dining table waiting for her to have breakfast together.

On the table were some dry sandwiches, a bowl of cereal, a glass of cold milk.

Zhao Ruozhi frowned.

"Let's have breakfast."

Su Xiaoyu warmly greeted Zhao Ruozhi for breakfast together.

"I can't get used to this."

"What do you want to eat? I'll ask the housekeeper to make it for you, or go buy it, it's fine. ”

Zhao Ruozhi didn't answer, but just turned around and went upstairs.

I don't know why, seeing the cold food on this table, Zhao Ruozhi's mood is like the milk on the table, it is also cold and cold. She couldn't help but think of the time when she lived with Zhou Yi, who would warm up the milk every morning.

The temperature of the milk is not too cold or too hot, it is always just right.

There seemed to be a crack in his heart, and the cold wind poured into it, no matter how hard Zhao Ruozhi tried, he couldn't close it.

Su Xiaoyu saw Zhao Ruozhi's unhappy look, so he didn't have the heart to eat breakfast seriously, and only stuffed two mouthfuls indiscriminately and hurriedly followed Zhao Ruozhi upstairs.

"What's wrong? You don't look happy. ”

Zhao Ruozhi shook his head and tried to hold back the tears back to his eyes: "It's okay." ”

"There's a charity exhibition in the afternoon, followed by an auction in the evening, come with me?"

Zhao Ruozhi didn't want to go: "Do you have to go?" ”

"It's the best opportunity to introduce you to insiders. The most recent one is today, and the larger ones will not be until next month. ”

"Will Liu Xiaofei go?"

"As far as I know, the organizer sent her an invitation, and I don't know if she will go or not."

"I'm a little worried."

"With me here, what are you afraid of?"

"I don't know what I'm afraid of." Zhao Ruozhi stared at his toes, "I don't know......"

"Are you worried that if Liu Xiaofei attends, Zhou Yi will be his male companion, right?"

Hearing Zhou Yi's name, Zhao Ruozhi's heart tightened, but he tried his best to pretend that he was fine, and said, "With you, of course I won't be afraid." ”

Su Xiaoyu took Zhao Ruozhi's hand, and the heat passed from the wide palm.

"Running away is not the solution to the problem, you have to believe in yourself."

Su Xiaoyu's gentle voice was like a soft spring breeze, encouraging Zhao Ruozhi.

Zhao Ruozhi looked up at Su Xiaoyu's gray-green eyes, and the tears in his eyes finally couldn't help but roll down: "I can't control my emotions." The thought of him makes me feel bad, let alone face him. ”

"Don't cry." Su Xiaoyu hurriedly wiped away Zhao Ruozhi's tears, but he couldn't wipe them all. "If we don't want to go, we won't go."

"But ......" Zhao Ruozhi sniffed, "Is it really okay not to go?" Didn't you say that this opportunity was very appropriate? ”

"It really doesn't matter if you don't go. Next time, we can hold our own charity gala, and then invite those people with heads and faces to come? ”

"I don't want to bother you so much."

"No trouble, no trouble at all." Su Xiaoyu looked at the woman in front of him crying with pear blossoms and rain, and somewhere in his heart seemed to be inadvertently touched. He wanted to protect the woman.

Su Xiaoyu naturally grabbed Zhao Ruozhi, patted Zhao Ruozhi's back gently, and said, "Don't do what you want to do, and we won't see anyone you don't want to see, it doesn't matter." ”

"Thank you."

"Don't be so polite. We'll be in the same boat from now on, and I'll have a place for your help. ”

"As long as I can do it, I will help you do it."

"I haven't figured out what I want you to do yet, so I'll owe it for the time being."

"It's a deal." Zhao Ruozhi finally barely pulled out a smile, but she didn't know that her smile was more ugly than crying.

"There's one thing I should let you know."

"What's the matter?"

"We were already photographed by the paparazzi as soon as we arrived yesterday, including in Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum before, and we were all photographed by the paparazzi when we met. I think it's time to get these photos out there, do you agree? ”

"Why ......"

"Are you trying to ask why the paparazzi didn't announce it right away?" The gray-green eyes looked at Zhao Ruozhi gently, "That's because I don't want you to be scared by the media and tell them not to post it for the time being." Now that you've agreed to work with me, it's reasonable to attend an event together, or to have some scandals. But before the photos are published, I'd like to ask for your opinion. ”

"I don't have any opinions, I've never asked about these things before."

"It's different now, you have to package yourself and sell yourself, and public opinion control is also a very important aspect. You can't just ask about anything anymore like you used to. ”

Zhao Ruozhi smiled bitterly: "Then didn't I get on the thief ship?" ”

"Suffice it to say, you're only going to have a harder time in the future." Su Xiaoyu squeezed Zhao Ruozhi's hand and gave her encouragement, "But I'll help you, don't worry." ”

"How did you find the paparazzi who got the pictures?"

Su Xiaoyu seemed to have heard something funny, and said with a smile: "You don't have to do anything, they will naturally come to you." ”

"Why?"

"If they send out the photos without my consent, I can sue them for violating their portrait rights, privacy rights, and whatever the crime, it will be enough for them to never dare to return to the industry."

"Is it still like this?"

"Whether the photos are sent or not, I will give them a sum of money so that they don't go around talking nonsense." Su Xiaoyu looked at Zhao Ruozhi gently, like a teacher to a student, and patiently explained, "This circle is actually very small, once there is any trouble, everyone will soon know." ”

"I've never known that before."

Su Xiaoyu said: "Ah Piao is actually a good boss, he worries about everything for you, you just need to do your job as an actor seriously and hone your acting skills." ”

"I feel a little sorry for him when you say that."

"The market is so cruel, he must know it in his heart."

Zhao Ruozhi lowered his eyes and said guiltily: "I didn't know before, it turns out that he has done so much for me." I had a big fight with him before I came out. ”

"He will forgive you."

"Really?"

"Why don't you invite him to a charity gala next time and have a good chat?"

"Why do I think you're sarcastic about me?" Zhao Ruozhi pursed his lips.

"I mean really." Su Xiaoyu said seriously: "Everyone is in the same circle, look down and don't look up, you are still a newcomer, you may not be able to make a few friends, and if you can have one less enemy, you will have one less." ”

Zhao Ruozhi thought so: "I don't want to have a stiff relationship with Ah Piao, after all, I can have today, and it is all thanks to the blessing of Xun Yaozhihua." Without him, I wouldn't be where I am today. ”

"Yes, without him, you wouldn't have the opportunity to stand on Hollywood soil today."

The gray-green eyes were deep, but there was some light in his eyes that Zhao Ruozhi couldn't understand.

Seeing that Zhao Ruozhi stared at his toes for a long time without saying a word, Su Xiaoyu asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

"I'm wondering if I'm going to attend the auction you're talking about."

The corners of Su Xiaoyu's mouth rose slightly: "Aren't you afraid to see someone you don't want to see?" ”

"We'll see you sooner or later." Zhao Ruozhi let out a long breath, "Like you said, this circle is too small, as long as there is a stir, everyone will soon know." ”

"What do you want to do?" Su Xiaoyu smelled an unusual smell.

"You say, does the audience like good girls, or good and bad, controversial women?"

After Zhao Ruozhi's words, Su Xiaoyu immediately understood what she wanted to do.

"Have you figured it out? Once a decision has been made, it is difficult to change it. ”

"I'm not a person who can be manipulated by others, if someone hurts me, I will pay back tenfold.
