As the investor was about to kiss Yang Xue's cheek, Director Gu quickly pulled her away and handed a wine glass to the man. The man, feeling embarrassed, had no choice but to let go of Yang Xue and focus on the drinks. I hadn't drunk much, so I thought I would help Yang Xue back to her room first. However, Yang Xue stubbornly insisted on staying with Lu Yi. I couldn't pull her away, and seeing this, Lu Yi had to put down his wine glass and assist her back to her room.
Only a few investors remained at the table with me and Director Gu. Under everyone's urging, the director began to lose his tolerance for alcohol. Noticing that things were getting out of hand, I pretended to go to the restroom. Hiding in there, I didn't dare make a sound. After a long while, it finally quieted down outside. Listening for movement, I cautiously opened the door and saw Director Gu collapsed by the sink, unconscious. I hurried over to help him up and tried to wake him, but he showed no response. With no other option, I had to support him back to his room. Just as I laid him on the bed, I heard someone knock on the door.
When I opened it, it was Lu Yi. He looked at me with concern in his eyes and asked about Director Gu's condition. I told him that the director was just drunk and would be fine. Lu Yi nodded and glanced at the time, saying, "I'll walk you back to your room."
He escorted me to my door, and just as he was about to leave, he suddenly turned back to look at me, hesitating as if he wanted to say something. In the end, he simply said goodnight before turning to leave. I closed the door and took off my clothes, intending to take a shower when there was a sudden urgent knock at the door. Startled, I quickly put my clothes back on and asked, "Who is knocking?"
"It's me, open up quickly." Hearing Shen Yulin's voice, I hurriedly opened the door. He stood there frowning with an angry expression on his face, his eyes filled with intense fury.
I looked at him in confusion as he strode into the room, coldly surveying every corner—closet, bathroom, guest room—checking all possible hiding spots thoroughly. Unable to hold back anymore, I asked, "Shen Yulin, what are you looking for?"
He stopped and turned to glare at me coldly, saying, "Where is Lu Yi?" I found it hard to believe what he meant by that. "You came to my room looking for Lu Yi?"
"I saw him follow you into your room."
"Are you suspecting something between me and Lu Yi?"
"Isn't it?" He let out a cold laugh before sitting down on the sofa and lighting a cigarette. The atmosphere in the room became exceptionally tense as if an intense argument was about to erupt.
"Then may I ask if you found him?" I struggled to contain my anger. "Call him out here now! If I find him myself, I'll break his legs."
"Enough! Shen Yulin, get out!" I shouted angrily for him to leave my room. There was another knock at the door; it was Lu Yi standing outside looking surprised by Shen Yulin's presence but quickly regaining his composure.
"Fan Xing," he said, "the director's jacket fell off earlier and a notebook dropped on the floor; it's yours, right?" I suppressed my anger and forced a smile as I thanked Lu Yi; he waved his hand and returned to his room.
I didn't close the door; instead, I waited for Shen Yulin to leave. He clenched his fists tightly; his body trembled slightly as he clearly struggled with his emotions. Seeing that he had no intention of leaving anytime soon, I said nothing more and went into my room before locking the door.
I didn't wash up; instead, I lay on my bed as tears gradually blurred my vision.
Just this morning he had sent me off for a business trip and promised to come keep me company tomorrow; now he was inexplicably doubting me at night—who is the real you?
Ten years ago you only believed in me; ten years later, I can no longer trust you.
