Why it never ends

Chapter 1161 Protagonist
"...What's the problem?" Lu Qizhen raised his head as much as he could, trying to look at Zoe's face. "I explained it to you before. I just wanted to talk to him--"

"If you just want to make things clear, why don't you wait until tomorrow when we return to the palace?"

Zoe stepped on the bumps on the wall and took Lu Qichen straight to the second floor of the theater. The scene looked thrilling, but Zoe walked as if she were walking on flat ground.

"The palace is two or three hours away from the city, and there are guards restricting access. It must be more difficult for your boyfriend to track you down than tonight!"

Lu Qizhen was speechless for a moment—Yes!
"Besides, you gave me your phone in the beginning," Zoe continued, "but you asked for it back. No matter if you wanted to break up with him or clarify something special with him, what made you contact him tonight? Are you sure your underlying intention was not to attract him? After all, we are in the city tonight, and it is very convenient for him to come over!"

Lu Qizhen opened his mouth slightly.

Following Zoe's train of thought, she suddenly felt that it made sense.

A new possibility was brewing in her mind: Maybe she didn't really want to break up, or was even afraid of the consequences of breaking up, so she passively asked her boyfriend to come over in this way...

In this way, not only does she not have to bear any responsibility, but she also successfully saves this shaky relationship, right?

...Is this the true belief behind my actions tonight?
Lu Qizhen suddenly felt a chill, and the noisy sounds around him seemed to fade away.

Of course, she had examined her feelings and relationships inside and out, and she fully understood what could arouse her passionate love - the favor from the superiors, or in other words, from their uncontrollable infatuation... That was the nourishment she constantly drew from various love stories and sweet fantasies.

However, this does not mean that there is only such a thing in her love. Doesn't the intimacy in love make her intoxicated? Doesn't the responsibility of making promises to each other and planning the future seriously move her? She always thinks that passion is just a fuse, and her love is already a burning flame, which means that she has entered an exclusive world, and she can't be ignited again before the old flame is extinguished.

However, when she thought of Hesta walking towards her this afternoon, that charming smile still made her tremble. This tremor did not come from happiness, but pointed to a dangerous conclusion - could it be that my love is such an easy and cheap thing, as long as I am put in a suitable position, I can admire anyone?

How is this different from a puppet?
"Lü Qizhen! Are you listening?" Zoe snorted again, just like she did in the car that afternoon. "You can be absent-minded even with this? How did you get your doctorate?"

"Ah? What did you say?" Lu Qizhen came back to his senses, "Say it again!"

“I’m asking you whether you want to stay here or come with us,” Zoe said. “If you want to stay, I’ll put you up there, and we’ll retreat first—”

Lu Qizhen was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly slapped Zoe on the back. "What nonsense! If you were planning to just leave, why did you bother to carry me around? What kind of stupid question are you asking? You almost got me into a ditch!"

"Huh? Why are you blaming me? You yourself——"

"Because that's who I am!" Lu Qizhen said loudly, "The more important the problem is, the more anxious I am to solve it, otherwise I won't be able to do anything else. I don't want to feel anxious while watching the movie tonight, so I want to solve all the problems and then do my own things with peace of mind - yes! You are right! I picked the wrong time, so can I pay attention next time!"

"Why are you so angry? You're so inexplicable—"

"I'm not angry!" Lu Qizhen shouted, "I'm happy!"

After a few jumps, Zoe temporarily stopped on the supporting pillar of the second-floor fence. She stepped on the thin black metal pole with one foot and landed like a light bird.

She and Lu Qizhen looked down at the first floor at the same time. They saw at the same time that more than a dozen people rushed in from the exits and entrances on both sides. They looked like the theater's security team. Two beams of cold blue light hit her and Lu Qizhen from the side. Lu Qizhen covered her eyes with her hands, and Zoe squinted slightly. The actors on the stage looked at the changes below in a daze, and stopped their movements one after another. The singing and music stopped abruptly.

"Why don't you sing anymore!" Zoe made a trumpet shape with one hand and shouted to the stage, "Sing! It sounds beautiful!"

The audience sitting in the row behind her heard her shout and burst into laughter.

Zoe turned around and said, "Isn't it nice?"

"It sounds good!" A person stood up from the audience, raised her hands above her head and began to beat the rhythm, "Keep going! Keep going!"

Many people were infected by this and clapped their hands, demanding that the performance on stage continue. Amid the noise of the crowd, the almost exhausted man followed the theater security and rushed to the second floor.

"There...there, they are--"

Zoe started running again, and the spotlight followed her and Lu Qizhen all the way to the melodious singing.

Lu Qizhen watched Zoe land again. Although the azure light was cold, it felt warm when it fell on his body.

She couldn't see anything around her, but she could still hear the music on the stage.

At this moment, everything else disappeared temporarily, and Lu Qizhen hummed along with the song:
“A new desire…has awakened.

"History is rushing towards its eternal light..."

The only four exits in the venue were now blocked. Zoe was wondering what to do when she suddenly heard Ende calling her. She turned around and saw Ende holding Chloe and running towards her with Gahoduolei - they both wore paper bags used for packaging in the hamburger restaurant on their heads, with two holes on the top for eyes.

Only then did Zoe suddenly realize that she was being exposed without any disguise to the cameras of many people's mobile phones.

"Why are you only thinking about arming yourselves and not reminding me?"

"You ran out straight away, so I didn't have time to remind you!" Ende was dissatisfied, "What should we do now? We can't poke another hole in the ceiling of this theater--"

"They have to be led away."

Zoe suddenly looked at Jiahoduolei and called her name.

Jiahoduolei looked over, and before she could ask what to do, Zoe had already thrown Lu Qizhen over. Jiahoduolei subconsciously opened her arms, and Lu Qizhen fell right into her arms - it was obvious that Zoe was very particular about throwing, even considering the angle and strength.

When Jia Heduolei and Lu Qizhen reacted, they both roared in unison.

“Zoe—!”
