chapter 93 – White Lotus
A few minutes later, she approached a small restaurant down the road and was about to sit down when she heard a deliberately muted discussion next to her, “Hey, look guys, isn’t she, isn’t she the star Phoebe Barnes?”
“That’s her, huh? The photo and the person is not much different, quite beautiful, it’s just a pity that the character is quite poor.”
“I heard that she recently not only had an affair with my god Ann Shi, but also with Shengtian’s Lu Shao very close, damn, this woman is obviously a white lotus flower.”This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Hasn’t Half is Light and Shadow already come out and admitted that it was her who hit the man? I’m now most curious about what a Netflix writer actually looks like, and I’ve bought every single one of her books.”
“…”
Phoebe Barnes stiffened slightly.
The waiter came over and asked respectfully, “Miss, what would you like to order, please.”
Phoebe Barnes snapped back to her senses and busily reached out to push her glasses back, looking slightly flustered and embarrassed, “Sorry, I’m not eating.”
With that, he lowered his hat and left with a rush of steps.
She really didn’t expect to be recognized.
The news of the entertainment industry is renovated every day, but a few days have passed, the heat of her incident still has not passed, the online articles can hang still hanging, John Lu does not come forward, the company does not care, the media is naturally unscrupulous.
Kelsey Long is still working on that one, and she’s now an idle person herself.
Walking up an overpass, Phoebe Barnes suddenly felt tired, heavy stones weighing down on her heart, leaving her a little breathless.
For a moment, she suddenly stopped and slowly squatted down, looking somewhat bewildered at the non-stop stream of cars below.
And just a short distance away, at the other end of the bridge, stood a figure with his eyes looking straight in her direction.
Despite the fact that she was crouching and hating to curl herself into a ball, he recognized her immediately.
He stood in place for a moment, but walked over, stopping a finger away from her and rolling his throat, “Phoebe Barnes.”
The woman was stunned for a moment, her tiny head turned around extremely quickly and tilted her head to look, her small face showing shock, “Teacher Shi?”
She stood up, but squatting for too long, her head was a little dizzy and her body lolled straight to one side.
She subconsciously hands on the railing, but the man’s quick hands also held her shoulders.
Phoebe Barnes noticed and quickly backed out of his arms, still with surprise, asking, “What’s Shi-sensei doing here?”
When did the world become so small? She used to run in Hengdian every day without meeting a few gods, but now she can meet them by chance outside from time to time, it’s really ironic.
Ann Shi was dressed in a casual outfit, wearing only a pair of sunglasses, and not trying to deliberately hide anything.
There were not many people on the footbridge, he casually took off his sunglasses, nothing rippled on his face, retracted his hand naturally on the railing, but his eyes gazed deeply at her, “I said I happened to pass by, do you believe it?”
“That’s a good coincidence.” Phoebe Barnes pulled the corners of her lips with little emotion, then her eyes moved to the road under the bridge with an empty view and said lightly, “It’s really quite humiliating to be seen by you after each embarrassment, senpai.”
Ann Shi smiled lightly when she heard that, her charming handsome face was warm and quiet, like a gentle piano piece, “Are you trying to tell me that you were going to jump if I didn’t just show up here?”
“…”
Phoebe Barnes was stunned and turned her eyes to look at him, shaking her head and smiling bitterly, “It hasn’t come to that yet, has it? I’m just tired of walking and squatting down to rest for a while.”
Even if she is desperate and anxious again she will not choose to take this step.
Ann Shi raised a hand and patted her shoulder, a gentle smile Rong is very healing, “Since you have not thought about it, it means that things are not so bad, but it is just being misunderstood, see the open natural will be fine.”
Phoebe Barnes was not bothered by this one thing, but she didn’t explain much, and a very far-fetched curve was drawn on her lips, “I’m fine, it’s been so many days, if I really cared, depression could have been triggered.”
“Don’t you look like a Tibetan antelope lost in the grassland? If so, why don’t you go to John Lu again?”
Phoebe Barnes winked and laughed softly, “When he’s out of breath.”
“…”
Ann Shi sighed and looked around, her eyes turned to her face again and laughed aloud, “Which one of your eyes saw him get angry? The kind of person who is so bitchy every day that he wants to be smoked, you think he would upset himself over this little thing about you?”
“…”
Phoebe Barnes dumbfounded, clear eyes moving to look at him, with those black-framed glasses, looks more dumb and cute, “But … he called me angry seems not light.”
The man looked at the small face, his heart slightly moved, hands ringed in front of his chest, hooked lips joke, “the first time in the party by the female partner dumped, still not allowed him to get angry?”
Phoebe Barnes’ brow jumped a little, a little breathless, “Hasn’t he ever been rejected by a woman?”
This kind of philandering young man should not be to the point where people love him, right? Could it be that all those women without brains have been met by him?
Ann Shi lifted her eyes, “Have you heard of any women he has actively pursued?”
“…”
It’s also true that he has always only liked women who take the initiative, so naturally there is no such thing as being rejected.
After a few moments of silence, Ann Shi spoke up again, “It’s so hot, why don’t I invite you for a cup of coffee?”
Phoebe Barnes looked up at him with bewildered eyes and shook her head at once, “Thank you seniors, but nowadays, I am dangerous and you are dangerous, two dangerous things together will blow up.”
She doesn’t want to be photographed by the media again.
Moreover, she is not an ignorant girl, she will not believe that a man can be good to a woman for no reason.
But to say that like … look also does not look like.
Ann Shi was dumbfounded by her analogy and exhaled, saying briskly, “Well then, I’ll treat you again some day when I have the chance.”
“Okay.”
The man gave her a deep look, his ink-colored eyes looked calm and unsurprising, then put his sunglasses back on and said indifferently, “Then I’ll go first, you go back early too.”
“Well, seniors take care.”
After Ann Shi left, she didn’t stay much longer and left.
Around 3:00 p. m., Phoebe’s mother was watching TV at home when she heard a knock on the door, opened it, froze for a moment, and then said with surprise and joy, “Phoebe, why are you back all of a sudden?”
“Of course I miss you.” She grinned a big smile Rong, completely unable to see half hurt.
“You’ll get it!” Phoebe’s mother rolled her eyes, obviously unconvinced, but her face couldn’t contain a doting smile Rong, “Come on, come in first!”
Walked to the house, took off his hat and glasses, poured a glass of water and took a sip, gently calmed his breath and asked, “Are you and Dad all right lately? Have there been any strange people at home?”
