I really don't want to be the top streamer anymore

Chapter 238 Su Zhi: I do like your brother Xu Kong
"You're not coming to Hong Kong City, are you?"

Xu Kong had guessed this possibility as early as when Song Youyou opened her mouth.

All I can say is that this news completely caught people off guard.

The key point is that Song Youyou and Su Zhi seemed to have made an appointment and came over during the New Year's Eve.

"Yes, I'm at the airport now..."

After hearing the answer, Xu Kong’s last glimmer of hope was completely shattered.

But at this moment, Song Youyou on the other end of the phone seemed to suddenly discover the loophole in Xu Kong's words, and couldn't help but ask:
"But Brother Xu Kong, why did you say that?"

"Anyone else besides me?"

Song Youyou's words finally made Xu Kong a little more sober.

So he changed the subject:
"Are you at the airport?"

"Then I'll pick you up..."

……

At the airport in Hong Kong, Song Youyou was stunned when she saw Xu Kong hanging up the phone.

I always feel something is abnormal.

But she finally got through the time at school, and she became happy again when she thought that Ma Shan would be able to meet Xu Kong.

Song Youyou came here with her assistant this time.

However, since she herself is not very well-known in Hong Kong, she does not have to worry about being surrounded by passers-by.

Of course, there are definitely steps to pretend and dress up.

After all, if she were photographed by some paparazzi or passers-by who recognized her, it would easily lead to trouble.

In particular, the fact that Xu Kong was filming in Hong Kong was actually no longer a secret.

Many netizens know that Xu Kong’s new movie will be shot in Hong Kong.

……

As soon as Song Youyou left the airport, she saw someone dressed similarly to her.

Sunglasses, hats, masks...

This person is most likely from the same industry.

And even though I can't see her appearance, I can tell from her temperament that she is not an ordinary person.

"Su Zhi?"

At first, she just felt familiar, but after looking at her carefully for a while, Song Youyou quickly recognized the girl not far away.

After making her guess, the other person's figure gradually overlapped with the image in her mind.

It is almost certain that the other person is the one she has paid the most attention to so far, and the only one of the same sex she cares so much about.

As for Su Zhi, she had just finished a phone call with Xu Kong and was waiting for a car.

But soon I noticed that the look in his eyes was different from that of passers-by.

The other person has been paying attention to me for too long.

After looking back, he recognized Song Youyou almost instantly.

Obviously, Su Zhi was also surprised to meet each other in such a place.

However, her reaction was also very quick, and she almost took the initiative to walk towards Song Youyou.

……

Song Youyou saw Su Zhi walking towards her.

I became alert subconsciously.

Although she was not afraid of the other party at all, her age was there after all. Su Zhi was four or five years older than her and had been in the industry longer, so she looked a lot more mature.

This always makes Song Youyou feel an inexplicable sense of oppression.

However, what Song Youyou imagined, that the other party came to deliberately provoke or demonstrate, did not happen.

Instead, he looked very friendly and greeted her:
"Song Youyou?"

"What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."

It was different from the tense situation when they met in the finals of "Singer" last year.

Although Su Zhi was not overly enthusiastic at this moment, Song Youyou hardly sensed any significant hostility from her either.

Of course, what she didn't know was that for Su Zhi at the time, she and Xu Kong could only be considered to have an ambiguous relationship. After discovering the relationship between Xu Kong and Song Youyou, she naturally became more worried.

Now, Xu Kong was being honest with her and they knew each other well.

She also knew that she met Song Youyou here and it was likely that she was looking for Xu Kong.

……

"What a coincidence..."

Faced with Su Zhi who greeted her so openly, Song Youyou was actually at a loss as to what to do.

I could only force a smile in response.

Obviously, Youyou didn't expect Su Zhi to be so friendly to her.

How come the hostility from the previous meeting suddenly disappeared?
The relationship between the two was originally a bit awkward.

If it was before, even though I had never met him or knew him, we were in the same industry and circle after all.

There are still some topics to talk about.

It wouldn't be as embarrassing as it is now.

But at this moment, being with Su Zhi, Song Youyou felt extremely awkward.

The two of them could only chat casually.

……

After Xu Kong left the hotel, he sent a message to Su Zhi immediately.

There was no way, he didn't expect Song Youyou to come over.

The only thing we can do now is to get Su Zhi away from the airport and let her go to the hotel by herself.

It's impossible to really go and pick them both up at the same time, right?

But even though they had already arrived at the airport, Su Zhi still hadn't replied.

After getting off the car, Xu Kong could only take the initiative to call the other party.

"Hey?"

Thank God, Su Zhi answered.

But at this time Xu Kong only heard Su Zhi say very calmly:

"Come over here, we are in..."

Xu Kong was also stunned for a moment.

Because what Su Zhi said just now was not "I", but "we".

He knew that Su Zhi came to Hong Kong alone this time.

He didn't even bring an assistant.

Who is she staying with now?
……

Sure enough, when he arrived at the place, Xu Kong saw the two women from a distance.

The situation he least wanted to see happened.

When he was not even on guard, Su Zhi and Song Youyou actually met at the airport!

How could this be such a coincidence?
He looked at Su Zhi who was waving at him gently, and Song Youyou who didn't make any movement but kept looking at him.

Xu Kong had no choice but to go over there.

"Come on, get in the car."

Xu Kong tried his best to act as if nothing was wrong.

It seemed as if he was not surprised at all that the two of them appeared together.

After getting in the car, Su Zhi didn't seem to have much reaction. It might also be related to the other party's cold face all along. Anyway, she was too calm.

As for Song Youyou, she looked obviously confused.

It was obvious that she had a lot of questions she wanted to ask Xu Kong, but because there were other people around, she couldn't speak directly.

……

The air in the car seemed eerily quiet.

Xu Kong, who was driving, finally couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to speak:
"I wanted to contact you separately when we got to the airport, but I didn't expect you to meet in advance..."

To Song Youyou, Xu Kong's words seemed to mean that he had originally intended to pick them both up together.

Of course, only Su Zhi, who saw the message sent by Xu Kong, knew that this was not Xu Kong’s original idea at all.

"I didn't expect to encounter this either. Hong Kong City is really too small."

What surprised Xu Kong was that Su Zhi, who was usually very quiet, actually started to respond to his words.

On the contrary, Song Youyou, who always talked incessantly when she saw him on weekdays, rarely said a word to him at this moment.

"By the way, should the cover of the physical album be the same as before?" "The distribution company I contacted said that the first batch might be around 20,000 copies, but I feel that the number is not enough..."

Su Zhi suddenly started talking about work.

This turn of events obviously caught Xu Kong off guard.

But he quickly understood what Su Zhi meant.

It is nothing more than changing the other party's purpose of coming to Hong Kong City to work-related.

But Su Zhi came alone, without an agent or even an assistant.

It's still a bit too stiff.

But in this situation, there seems to be no other way.

So he opened his mouth and said:

"Let's just use the original cover. As for quantity, let's focus on the publisher first."

"Let's wait and see how the market reacts. After all, the cost and risk of physical albums are still quite high..."

……

Regarding the physical version of the album "Su Xu", there has been a lot of demand from netizens and fans online.

Many people expressed their hope that the physical version could be released. After all, the quality of the album is there, and it will definitely have a high collection value in the future.

So the two of them had talked about this matter briefly before.

When I continued talking about it at this point, it seemed very natural.

It seemed as if Su Zhi came here this time just for the physical version of the album.

Song Youyou still didn't say anything.

But when he heard the two of them start talking seriously about work, his expression softened a little.

After all, she also knew that Su Zhi's new album was so popular, and the production of the entire album, including the songs in it, was the responsibility of Xu Kong.

It seems normal for Su Zhi to come to Xu Kong for this kind of thing.

Xu Kong’s guess was correct. Youyou is often a rather rough-minded person and won’t delve too deeply into the rationality of some things.

For example, things like physical albums sound important, but in fact most of the work is done by the distribution company.

In fact, there is no need for Su Zhi to make a special trip to Hong Kong City.

……

Su Zhi and Xu Kong have always had a good relationship.

This is something that almost many netizens know.

After all, being able to help Su Zhi produce an entire album means that the two of them can't spend less time together.

So when seeing how the two of them get along at this time, although there are definitely still some doubts, Song Youyou has obviously convinced herself to accept the current situation.

"By the way, Youyou, have you finished your graduation thesis?"

Seeing that Song Youyou had been silent, Xu Kong took the initiative to ask a question.

Concern is one thing, but in fact he also knows that as for Song Youyou, there is basically no need to worry too much about these things related to graduation, and there will definitely be no big problem.

Therefore, the main purpose is to test Song Youyou's reaction and attitude at this time.

“The topic and the probable direction have been determined.”

“But I haven’t finished writing it all…”

Song Youyou answered truthfully.

Although he tried hard to control himself, one could still hear a hint of grievance and unhappiness in his tone.

After all, I came to Hongcheng specifically to give Xu Kong a surprise and spend the New Year's Eve with him.

But she ended up meeting Su Zhi, the person she least wanted to meet.

It's normal to feel resentful.

It was also because she had actually always thought that there was something wrong between Su Zhi and Xu Kong, but she just didn't say it out loud.

Moreover, although rumors are flying everywhere and Su Xu and her couple fans are numerous on the Internet, in fact, there is almost no so-called solid evidence between the two.

She didn't dare to ask Xu Kong directly.

Because I care too much about the other person, I feel insecure and don't have the courage to face the result that I cannot accept.

……

"Sister Yuxin, we meet again!"

When they arrived at the crew's hotel and saw Shang Yuxin, Song Youyou, who had been in a low mood in the car, finally smiled.

Compared to Su Zhi, she has a much better impression of Shang Yuxin.

Even after spending such a long time together, she has come to regard Shang Yuxin as a close friend rather than just a senior in the circle and a colleague in the company.

Of course, although Shang Yuxin was smiling on the surface at this time, she was not so happy inside.

How come this is different from what we agreed before?

She had just had an in-depth rehearsal with Xu Kong a few days ago, so this was a relatively sweet period for them.

And because it is in the port city, you will hardly be disturbed by anyone.

Apart from filming, Shang Lucha actually quite enjoys such time.

I had been thinking that being able to be alone with Xu Kong during New Year's Eve this year would be a wonderful memory, and perhaps there would be few similar opportunities in the future.

But who knew that two more people would suddenly come.

Song Youyou alone would be fine, because as Feng Ge’s daughter, Shang Yuxin was not very confident in the first place.

With Su Zhi involved in this matter, she naturally knew about the various scandals between Xu Kong and Su Zhi on the Internet, as well as the considerable number of CP fans.

In comparison, the only one who doesn't have much advantage is her, who seems to be a latecomer.

……

"call……"

Xu Kong looked at this relatively harmonious scene and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it always felt a bit weird, fortunately the situation that he had imagined, with tensions and chaos, did not turn out to be what he had imagined.

However, for Xu Kong, this New Year seems destined to be a time of fear and trepidation.

After having dinner with the three of them, Xu Kong went back to his room alone, using the excuse of revising the script and doing some other things.

After all, if four people stay together like this all the time, it always makes people feel that something bad will happen sooner or later.

It would be better to separate them directly.

As for himself, he also focused on treating everyone equally at this time. No matter whether it was Song Youyou or Su Zhi who had just arrived in Hong Kong City, or the heroine Shang Yuxin of this crew, he would not accompany any of them.

……

Su Zhi had just returned to her room for a short while when she heard a knock on the door.

"May I come inside?"

Su Zhi was not too surprised by Song Youyou's sudden visit.

As if it had been expected.

While opening the door for the other party, Su Zhi turned sideways and made a gesture for him to come in.

Song Youyou must be feeling a little nervous at this moment.

But after sitting down, she still looked at Su Zhi very seriously and asked directly:

"Are you really coming to Hong Kong City for work this time?"

Su Zhi replied calmly: "Of course."

Hearing Su Zhi's answer, Song Youyou felt slightly relieved.

But to make sure I wasn't really overthinking it.

She asked again:
"The relationship between you and Brother Xu Kong..."

Song Youyou kept Xu Kong's words in mind, so it was naturally impossible for her to reveal their relationship to anyone.

But the tone at this time was not much different from that of the girlfriend who came to question him.

"Friends, and...partners?"

"This should be."

Su Zhi's answer this time made Song Youyou completely let down her guard.

"That's good. I thought..."

Song Youyou paused for a moment, but continued:
"I thought you liked Brother Xu Kong."

But after she finished speaking, she heard Su Zhi replied calmly, with the same tone:
"Ah."

"I do like your brother Xu Kong."

After hearing this, Song Youyou was stunned for a moment and froze in place.
