The film and television city starts from the courtyard

Mo Xiaomin looked at Wang Nan with some surprise when she heard him say that, and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Was it your boyfriend who drove you to work just now?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong?" Wang Nan looked at Mo Xiaomin incredulously, and seeing that the other woman indeed looked blank, she couldn't help but ask:

"No way, Xiao Min, are you really that clueless or are you pretending?"

"What should I know?" Mo Xiaomin found Wang Nan's question rather puzzling.

"That car looks unremarkable, but it's a luxury car."

Mo Xiaomin asked, "Is it very expensive?"

"To put it simply, even the lower-spec models cost over a million, while the top-spec models could easily cost several million."

Mo Xiaomin said nonchalantly, "He just bought a car for transportation, so there's nothing wrong with that."

"But you never said your boyfriend was this rich. I never imagined writing novels could be so lucrative. If I had known, I would have studied hard back then, and maybe I could have become a writer and made money too."

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe you're mistaken?"

"Impossible. I've studied it for a long time, but with that little salary, I can't even afford a wheel rim."

Mo Xiaomin didn't really care whether Zhao Shucheng was rich or not. After all, she wasn't a gold digger; all she wanted was someone who liked her.

Zhao Shucheng had no idea that his act of driving Mo Xiaomin to work had caused Mo Xiaomin's colleagues to gossip about him for a long time.

He returned home, looked at his computer, but lost the motivation to continue writing and decided to give himself a day off.

Unfortunately, Zhao Shucheng's wish could not be fulfilled today. Just as he was about to rest, he heard a knock on the door and saw Zuo Yongbang and Luo Shuquan outside.

"No, has time reversed? How come you're here again?"

"Xiaobai, aren't you welcoming us?"

"Of course not, it's just that this scene feels familiar, like a time warp."

Zuo Yongbang pushed Luo Shuquan aside and said, "Stop talking nonsense, we've come to you because we have something to ask you."

"What's wrong, Teacher Zuo? Is your pursuit of love not going well?"

"It's not just going badly, I want to die right now."

Zuo Yongbang didn't expect things to change so quickly. Yesterday, he received a call from Waiwai, the hot girl he used to date, who asked him to meet up.

I was initially quite excited, but when I arrived, I discovered that YY was just asking me to fill in the numbers for another game.

What I never expected was that in a werewolf game, I became the one who was killed every time, and eventually I was exhausted both mentally and physically.

When Zuo Yongbang was about to leave, Waiwai stopped him, chased away his friends, and then kissed Zuo Yongbang.

He originally thought it was just a simple kiss, and he was prepared to tell Waiwai that he wouldn't come again and that the two of them would have no further contact.

Unexpectedly, Waiwai told Zuo Yongbang that this was her first time. This caught Zuo Yongbang off guard. Looking at the beautiful young woman in front of him, who seemed carefree but was actually so innocent, he felt a sense of responsibility and didn't want to let her down.

"So you mean you're planning to be with her? What about Miki?"

Zuo Yongbang said, "That's why I want to die now. I originally wanted to sleep with her and then get back together with Miqi without any regrets, but now that things are like this, I have a responsibility to Waiwai."

"If you've thought it through, then has your problem been solved?"

"That's it!"

Zhao Shucheng looked at Luo Shuquan and asked, "Then what's your question?"

Luo Shuquan said, "I have no problem."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. I just came here to hear your answer to Teacher Zuo's question."

"Okay, I'll assume you're fine. Now that you understand, you can leave, right? I need to rest."

Zuo Yongbang and Luo Shuquan exchanged a glance and said, "Alright then, we're leaving."

Zhao Shucheng looked at them helplessly and said, "Let's go. You've come here just to ask some inexplicable questions."

After leaving Zhao Shucheng's house, Zuo Yongbang prepared to break up with Mi Qi and take responsibility for Waiwai.

Miki originally just wanted to leave Zuo Yongbang out of the picture for a while to maintain the freshness of their relationship, especially when Zuo Yongbang pretended to be his twin brother, which Miki found very interesting.

So when Zuo Yongbang asked her to meet and talk, Miki was hopeful.

But when Miki actually saw Zuo Yongbang, she had a bad feeling. Zuo Yongbang was not as persistent as he had been when he saw her before. Instead, he seemed to have done something to wrong her.

"where are we going?"

Miki said, "Let's try walking forward first!"

Zuo Yongbang drove along with Mi Qi, remaining silent the whole way, only glancing at Mi Qi occasionally.

"It's been so long, don't you have anything to say to me?"

“Mickey…”

Miki said, "Don't say anything, just give me back my shoes."

“I did nothing that day.”

"I don't want to hear anything."

“But I did it today. I know you don’t believe me, but I really didn’t do anything that day. I admit I had some dirty thoughts. It’s normal for men to have some dirty thoughts, but he didn’t act on them. I also admit there were special reasons that night, but you’re forcing me to admit it. I can’t admit to something I didn’t do. So, in order to admit it, I went to see that girl again today. That’s what I was thinking. I can’t admit to something I didn’t do. You’re forcing me to admit it, so I can only do it first and then admit it.”

Looking into Miki's eyes, Zuo Yongbang said, "Don't overthink it. It hasn't come to that. But that girl told me it was her first time, and since it's her first time, I have to take responsibility. Of course, I'm not trying to put you in any position, but isn't the first time always especially important for a girl?"

Are you breaking up with me?

"No, I just want to be responsible for others."

Miki said, "Great, you have guts, guts, and a willingness to take responsibility." Zuo Yongbang asked, "Are you praising me?"

"What do you think?"

"I don't think so."

Miki said, "Zuo Yongbang, I've imagined countless ways you'll break up with me, and I've thought of ways to deal with each one. For example, you might think I'm lazy and gluttonous, or you might be tired of me or fed up with me, or you might think I'm materialistic. I can put in the effort to change myself, and I can even change my look many times a day just to keep you interested. I'm just afraid that one day you'll get tired of me and irresponsibly kick me aside."

As she spoke, Miki's voice choked up, and she said, "Today you told me that the reason you broke up with me was to be a responsible and good man. How novel is that?"

Zuo Yongbang fell silent, simply listening to Mi Qi's words.

“I admit that I did have a boyfriend before you, but I’ve been with you for three years, three years.”

Zuo Yongbang said, "No, do you want money? I'm sorry, that's not what I meant."

Mickey gave a self-deprecating laugh and said, "I'm leaving. I shouldn't have followed you. I'm sorry!"

"and many more!"

Zuo Yongbang stood up, walked behind Mi Qi, and asked, "So what are your plans next?"

“Yongbang, you can’t be responsible for two people at the same time. We women also have a history. Once we’ve set our sights on someone, we’re devoted to that man and we’re only responsible for him. Since you’re responsible for someone else, then you don’t need to be responsible for me.”

Watching Mi Qi's departing figure, Zuo Yongbang was momentarily unsure whether his choice was right or wrong. Having already let Mi Qi down, he felt responsible for Waiwai and couldn't let her down again.

Zhao Shucheng received a call from Amy, who invited him to dinner and said she would cook it herself.

This struck Zhao Shucheng as odd. After all, if Amy was simply inviting him to dinner, why not do it outside? As for the concern about Mo Xiaomin seeing them, Zhao Shucheng didn't think it was a big deal, especially since Amy knew Mo Xiaomin was aware of their relationship.

When Zhao Shucheng arrived downstairs at Amy's building, he saw a figure holding an umbrella and looking up at the building.

When Zhao Shucheng got closer, he realized that this was actually Amy's ex-boyfriend whom he had met at the car dealership.

"Hello, do you live here too?"

"No, I just came to take a look."

Zhao Shucheng asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Looking at the scenery." Evan suddenly realized and said, "What's it to you what I'm looking at?"

Zhao Shucheng said, "Generally speaking, it's not my business, but Amy's business is my business, so it's my business. Amy invited me to dinner, and you're here too. Did Amy invite you here too?"

“What? I’ve been coming here every few days for a month or two now.” Evan said, looking at Zhao Shucheng, “Let me tell you the truth, it wasn’t a coincidence that you saw me at the car dealership. I’ve been following Amy. I know she has a new boyfriend now, and I just want to see what kind of person he is.”

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Now that you've seen it, is there any problem?"

"You are not good enough for Amy, nor do you deserve Amy's affection."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "It's not up to you to decide, it's up to Amy. After all, everyone has their own preferences. You should look for the reasons for breaking up with Amy within yourself. The fact that Amy doesn't care that I'm with someone else and still likes me only proves that I'm charming enough."

"A womanizer is a womanizer, don't talk about being charming. I also believe Amy is only temporarily infatuated with you, and she'll wake up sooner or later. Alright, go ahead and hit me!"

Zhao Shucheng asked with some surprise, "No, why would I hit you?"

"Isn't it because Amy saw me following her that she sent you to beat me up?"

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "Amy didn't say that. She just invited me to dinner. But buddy, there's a saying: a good ex should be like they're dead, not like they keep coming back to life. If you don't love someone anymore, you don't love them anymore. Continuing to pester them won't do anyone any good. Besides, you've been broken up for so many years. Don't you think it's too late to try to get back together now?"

"I don't think it's too late at all. As long as you're willing, you can do it anytime."

“I don’t think so. The reason you feel that you still have feelings for Amy is just that you can’t forget the Amy you used to like. But people change, especially after so many years. Neither you nor Amy are the same people you used to be. You have to be able to let go, especially a man. He should not be entangled.”

Evan looked at Zhao Shucheng and said, "No matter what, I will not give up. I will wait and wait for the day when Amy changes her mind."

"I think you might never live to see that day. The feelings between Amy and me are something someone like you can't understand. I'm leaving!"

Zhao Shucheng ignored the other person and went to Amy's apartment door, saying, "Amy, are you there?"

"You're here. You saw me?" Amy looked at Zhao Shucheng.

Zhao Shucheng said with a smile, "You mean your ex-boyfriend? I saw him, and I even chatted with him for a while. Don't worry, he won't stalk you anymore, but he might stalk me."

Upon hearing this, Amy looked at Zhao Shucheng curiously and asked, "No, what did you do to him?"

“I didn’t do anything special. I just told him that he was hopelessly in love with me and would not leave me unless his love for me disappeared. Naturally, he was unwilling to accept this, so he might follow me, find out my mistakes, and then let me know and be disappointed in him.”

"He wouldn't be that naive."

"That's hard to say. After all, you don't mind Mo Xiaomin's existence and dating me, which is quite a shock to him. Naturally, he wants to know why I can beat him and why you would stay with me even though you know I'm a womanizer."

Amy said, "Isn't that childish?"

"A man is a boy until he dies, and that's no joke. Alright, let's not talk about anyone else. Shouldn't we eat?"

Amy smiled sheepishly and said, "Um, I'm not done yet, why don't you wait a bit?"

Zhao Shucheng peeked into the kitchen. It wasn't that they weren't ready; they had just started. The vegetables had just been washed and hadn't even been chopped yet.

"I think we should go out to eat?"

"That won't do. We agreed to eat at home, and besides, I've prepared red wine."

When Zhao Shucheng heard Amy say that, he looked at the kitchen and said, "Alright then, it seems I'll have to cook with you. You go wash the vegetables, and I'll chop them. That way it'll be faster."

"it is good!"

Amy watched Zhao Shucheng chopping vegetables with some admiration and said, "Xiaobai, I didn't expect you to be such a good cook. You're a real gem."

"At my age, I'm not a boy, I'm a man. Besides, I've lived on my own for so many years, if I didn't have some cooking skills, I would have starved to death long ago."

"You make it sound like you're in a terrible situation. Why don't you eat out? Why do you have to eat at home?"

Zhao Shucheng laughed and said, "You don't know how miserable I was before. When I first graduated, after paying rent, there was hardly anything left of my salary. It was only after my novel was picked up and was prepared to be adapted into a film or television series that things got a little better."

Amy looked at Zhao Shucheng curiously and asked, "Since you were in such a miserable situation back then, how did you get through that time? You didn't rely on Luo Shuquan to help you, did you?" (End of Chapter)
