Is it hard to chase the school beauty?It doesn't matter, she still has roommates

"Even if I quit the entertainment industry, I will never bow down to someone like you! You want to use underhanded tactics? In your next life!"

This sudden resistance silenced the entire private room instantly! Even Sister Hua, who had been indifferent, stopped selecting songs and looked over in surprise.

Chen Tianfeng was stunned by the splash and it took him several seconds to react. He wiped the wine off his face and felt the shocked gazes of Wang Li and Sister Hua around him. An unprecedented sense of humiliation and rage surged to his head!
In all his life, no one has ever dared to treat him like this!

"Xiao Ruoxi! You dare to splash me?! You believe I'll..."

He roared in fury and stood up to pounce.

However, before he could finish speaking, he acted even faster!

Xiao Ruoxi had long anticipated his desperate act. The moment he stood up, she suddenly pulled her hand out of her bag, grabbed a small red can, aimed it at Chen Tianfeng's face, and pressed the spray button without hesitation!
"puff--!"

A pungent white mist was sprayed precisely onto Chen Tianfeng's face and eyes!

"Ah—!! My eyes!!"

Chen Tianfeng let out an extremely shrill scream, and suddenly covered his eyes with both hands. He felt a burning pain, and tears and snot instantly flowed uncontrollably. He curled up in pain and collapsed onto the sofa, rolling around and howling wildly!
"Scum! Degenerate! You think you can do whatever you want just because you have a little money and connections?! Screw your entertainment industry!"

While continuing to curse, Xiao Ruoxi also spat in the direction of Wang Li and Sister Hua, who were still trying to stop her, scaring the two of them into screaming and backing away.

The pepper spray was sprayed hard at Chen Tianfeng. Seeing his miserable appearance and howling in pain, Xiao Ruoxi felt an unprecedented sense of pleasure, but it was followed by a huge panic!
She knew very well that she had completely offended this young master of Beijing's elite circles! If she didn't run away quickly and he caught her, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Without hesitation, she turned and rushed towards the door of the private room!

However, just as her hand touched the doorknob, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside! Two burly, cold-faced bodyguards in black blocked the doorway, clearly having heard the commotion inside and rushed over.

"Step aside!"

Xiao Ruoxi was extremely anxious and tried to squeeze through the gap between the two, but one of the bodyguards stopped her without any politeness.

"Miss, you cannot leave without Young Master Feng's permission."

The bodyguard's voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.

Xiao Ruoxi's heart sank to the bottom instantly, and a sense of despair poured down on her like ice water.

She was about to scream for help at all costs, hoping to attract the attention of those outside—

Just then, a familiar, slightly mocking voice came lazily from the corridor behind the bodyguard.

"Wow, such a big star, quite the entourage. What, in broad daylight... no, in this brightly lit, bustling place, you're actually abducting women?"

The voice was like heavenly music, instantly striking Xiao Ruoxi's heart!

She looked up abruptly, following the sound—

Qin Luo, with an unlit cigarette dangling from his lips and his hands in his pockets, was walking unhurriedly toward VIP Hall One.

A playful smile played on his handsome face, but his eyes were sharp as knives as he swept over the two bodyguards blocking the doorway.

"Qin Luo!"

Xiao Ruoxi exclaimed in surprise, her tense nerves instantly relaxing as if she had found the most solid support.

The two bodyguards clearly did not recognize Qin Luo. Seeing that the newcomer was hostile, one of them immediately stepped forward, reached out to push Qin Luo's chest, and shouted at him sternly.

"who are you?

This is none of your business, get lost!

Qin Luo's eyes turned cold. Just as the bodyguard's hand was about to touch him, his right hand shot out like lightning, precisely grabbing the other's wrist and twisting and pulling it!
"Crack!"

A teeth-grinding cracking sound was followed by the bodyguard's piercing scream!
"boom!"

Before the other bodyguard could react, Qin Luo delivered a clean and powerful side kick to his abdomen. He flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the corridor wall before sliding down and losing consciousness.

After dealing with the two dogs blocking his way, Qin Luo didn't even glance at them. He walked straight to the door of the private room and looked inside.

The private room was a complete mess.

Chen Tianfeng was still lying on the sofa, covering his face with his hands, groaning in pain and cursing angrily.

"My eyes! Bastards! Grab that bitch! I'm going to kill her!!"

Assistant Wang Li and agent Sister Hua were in a flurry of activity. Wang Li tried to help Chen Tianfeng up, while Sister Hua appeared much calmer. She quickly checked Chen Tianfeng's condition and frowned when she saw his red and swollen eyes and the tears streaming down his face.

She knew very well that Chen Tianfeng was a public figure, and if this disheveled appearance were photographed or the matter became public, it would be a devastating blow to his image.

"Never mind all that! Let's get out of here!"

Without hesitation, Sister Hua disregarded Chen Tianfeng's struggles and roars, forcibly put a baseball cap on his head, and then put a mask and sunglasses on him, almost completely covering him up.

Then, Wang Li and Chen Tianfeng, who was still cursing and suffering from severe eye pain, were lifted up and hurriedly left through another hidden back door of the private room, obviously to avoid the possible onlookers at the front door.

When Qin Luo, holding Xiao Ruoxi's hand, finally shook off the two incapacitated bodyguards at the door and entered the private room, it was already deserted, leaving only a mess on the floor and the strange smell of pungent spray mixed with alcohol in the air.

"He got away."

Qin Luo looked at the empty private room and the open back door leading to the unknown darkness, his eyes slightly cold.

Stepping out of the bar, the cool night air helped Xiao Ruoxi, who was still shaken, to sober up a little.

Qin Luo looked at her pale face and her still slightly trembling body, and was about to ask her why she had come to this place alone to see Chen Tianfeng...

Xiao Ruoxi, however, took the initiative, extending her cool fingers and gently pressing them against his lips, making a "shush" gesture.

She shook her head, her eyes pleading, then took Qin Luo's hand and whispered.

"Don't say it here, let's... go somewhere else."

Qin Luo nodded, seeing her still-shaken expression.

Xiao Ruoxi, pulling Qin Luo along, didn't return to the guesthouse or go to any upscale places. Instead, they went to a bustling open-air barbecue stall not far from the bar. The place was lively and full of life, a stark contrast to the oppressive and dangerous atmosphere in the bar.

She found a relatively quiet corner to sit down, and without saying a word, ordered a whole bunch of different kinds of barbecue from the owner. Then she went to the convenience store next door and brought back two cases of ice-cold beer.

It was placed on the table with a clatter.

She remained silent, then roughly bit open the caps of several beer bottles with her teeth, picked up a bottle, tilted her head back, and gulped it down.

The cold liquor dripped down her chin, soaking her clothes, but she was completely unaware.

After a few big gulps, half a bottle of beer was gone. The alcohol didn't seem to alleviate her frustration; instead, it seemed to have opened a floodgate.

She slammed down the wine bottle, unable to suppress all the grievances, anger, resentment, and pain of shattered dreams that had been building up inside her. She collapsed onto the greasy little table and burst into tears!
"Waaaaah...why...why are you doing this to me..."

Her cries were heart-wrenching and desperate, drawing the attention of diners at several nearby tables. They cast curious, inquisitive, and even curious glances, and there were also faint whispers of discussion.

"Look at that girl, she's crying so sadly..."

"Have you broken up with your boyfriend?"

"I guess it's because it's so late at night..."

These gazes and comments made Xiao Ruoxi feel even more embarrassed and sad, but she couldn't stop crying.

Seeing her like this, Qin Luo frowned, waved his hand to signal the owner to bring some food as soon as possible, then sat down next to Xiao Ruoxi, gently patted her back, did not stop her from crying, but just quietly stayed with her.

After a long while, Xiao Ruoxi's crying gradually turned into suppressed sobs.

She raised her tear-filled face, looked at Qin Luo, and began to pour out her heart in a hoarse voice.

"Qin Luo... my dream... seems to have truly shattered..."

She spoke haltingly, revealing everything that had been weighing on her mind.

After years of hard work, she finally landed the third female lead role in a big-budget film with Ni Ruolan's help, and she thought it was the beginning of her career.
She learned how Chen Tianfeng held a grudge against her because of what happened in the parking lot, and directly used his connections to get Director Wang to kick her out of the crew;

She was unwilling to give up and wanted to start from the bottom as an extra, but she contacted seven or eight guilds in a row, but none of them dared to take her in because of the blacklist issued by Chen Tianfeng.
Then tonight, clinging to her last hope, she went to Chen Tianfeng hoping to have the ban lifted, but he made such a shameless demand...

"...He said...if I slept with him for one night, he'd let me go back to the set and even give me more scenes...What does he take me for?! Even if I really want to act, I can't sell myself out!"

Xiao Ruoxi became more and more emotional as she spoke, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

"So I threw his wine, I sprayed him with pepper spray! I knew I was completely finished... I couldn't stay in this industry anymore... Waaah..."

Listening to Xiao Ruoxi's tearful narration, Qin Luo's face darkened completely, and a storm seemed to be brewing in his eyes.

He had suspected that Xiao Ruoxi was in trouble, but he never expected that the root of all this was the small matter of not giving way to Chen Tianfeng in the parking lot that day!
And Chen Tianfeng, for this trivial conflict, was so vindictive, resorting to such despicable means to drive a girl with dreams to the brink of despair!

An uncontrollable rage surged and churned within Qin Luo's chest!
This Chen Tianfeng is simply going too far!
Xiao Ruoxi cried until she was completely exhausted, and subconsciously leaned into the only source of warmth beside her—Qin Luo's arms.

Qin Luo didn't push her away. Instead, he reached out and gently embraced her, letting her lean against his firm chest.

Feeling the warmth of Qin Luo's embrace and that reassuring aura, Xiao Ruoxi's tense and fearful heart strangely and slowly calmed down.

She didn't struggle; instead, she snuggled closer to him, as if this was the only safe haven she could find.

Qin Luo looked down at the girl in his arms, her eyes red and swollen from crying and her face pale, and a strong urge to protect her welled up in his heart.

He reached out and gently stroked Xiao Ruoxi's slightly disheveled hair. His voice was deep, yet carried an undeniable certainty and powerful confidence as he spoke slowly.

"Don't cry."

It's not worth it for that kind of scum.

He paused, his tone calm yet containing astonishing power.

"Chen Tianfeng? He's just a guy who bullies others because of his family background. He doesn't have the right to blacklist you."

Upon hearing Qin Luo's words, "Chen Tianfeng doesn't have the right to blacklist you," Xiao Ruoxi abruptly lifted her head from his embrace, her tear-filled face filled with fear and worry.

She shook her head vigorously and gripped Qin Luo's arm tightly.

"No! Qin Luo, don't do anything rash! I know you might have some connections, but Chen Tianfeng is different!"
He's one of the most prominent young masters in Beijing's elite circles!
Their family wields considerable influence in Beijing, with a deeply entrenched network of connections, and they are virtually untouchable in the entertainment industry!

You...you can't beat him!
You might seem impressive to us, but in the eyes of those real bigwigs in Beijing's elite circles, you might... you might not be anything special at all!
I don't want you to get into such big trouble because of me!

Her words were hurried and filled with worry for Qin Luo's situation, fearing that he might impulsively confront Chen Tianfeng, which would be tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock.

Qin Luo looked at her anxious appearance, but only smiled faintly, reached out and gently wiped away the tears on her face. His eyes were calm and unwavering, but his tone carried a powerful confidence and unquestionable tone that seemed to be innate.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. The Beijing elite circle... ha, nothing special."

If they really want to try, then I'll go with them.

He spoke these words casually, as if they were about a trivial matter, but the confidence hidden deep within his words made Xiao Ruoxi pause in surprise.

But then she thought of Chen Tianfeng's terrifying power and methods, and the glimmer of hope that had just risen was quickly suppressed by worry.

She was about to persuade him further when Qin Luo patted her shoulder, indicating that she should eat first.

The blow of shattered dreams, the resurfacing of her family's unfortunate past, and the fear that Qin Luo might be in danger because of her... all these negative emotions intertwined, causing Xiao Ruoxi's mood to plummet to the extreme of grief and indignation.

She stopped talking and began to channel her grief and anger into her appetite, launching a fierce attack on the barbecue that was being served one after another on the table, while simultaneously opening bottle after bottle of ice-cold beer and chugging it down as if it were water.

She tried to temporarily forget the cruelty of reality by binge eating and numbing herself with alcohol.

Qin Luo didn't stop her much, just watched her silently and occasionally shared a drink with her.

After downing seven or eight bottles of beer, combined with the lingering effects of her earlier tension, Xiao Ruoxi was completely drunk.

Her cheeks flushed, her eyes glazed over, and her speech became slurred. Finally, her head lolled to the side, and she slumped onto the table, unconscious. (End of Chapter)
