Chapter 5

Joey Nuo whispered, "Excuse me, is there any story between them?"

Ah Hai immediately looked sentimental and began to recall the past. It was nothing but a movie called *The School Chess King* that Luo Yize starred in when he was sixteen. At that time, he played the leading male role of a go - playing teenager in the play, and He Jing happened to be the leading female. The two got to know each other through the play and developed feelings for each other.

After the filming of the play was completed, Luo Yize and He Jing made an agreement to take the entrance exam for Beijing Film Academy together and start an official relationship then. Although Luo Yize finally got into Beijing Film Academy as he wished, the two didn't end up in the same university. They only maintained a long - distance online relationship. But when he learned that He Jing had a boyfriend, he immediately called to break up with her and they deleted each other's contact information.

Joey Nuo thought this story sounded extremely cheesy and clichéd.

She didn't understand why He Jing, a big love cheat, had the nerve to come back to him at this time. Did she come here with a premeditated plan?

"Look, the good show is yet to come," Ah Hai unconsciously tapped on the table.

Near the table where He Jing and Luo Yize were sitting.

At this moment, He Jing was so nervous that she was trembling. Her eyes showed a longing to return to their first love days. Luo Yize kept his head down, playing with his phone, showing extreme indifference to her. He knew he couldn't be tempted like this, and he didn't want to get caught up in the whirlpool of scandals because of this.

"A Ze, I feel so guilty about you. Do you think we should keep being so hostile to each other?"

"What do you want to say?" Luo Yize looked up, his tone very blunt.

"A Ze, it was all a misunderstanding. I still care about you..." He Jing burst into tears.

Ah Hai beside them secretly recorded this scene with his phone.

Luo Yize just let out a soft snort, lowered his head, and silently stared at his phone.

He Jing probably thought her performance was not intense enough. Her emotions became even more intense. She kept dabbing at the corners of her eyes with the tissue in her hand: "A Ze, do you still remember the play we filmed together when we were kids? I'm so eager to go back to that time. I still remember your line in it. You said you wanted to play go with me for the next lifetime. When I heard that, do you know how fast my heart was beating?"

Joey Nuo couldn't help but burst out laughing. Without quick - acting heart pills, would she have already died?

Luo Yize remained unmoved by every word He Jing said.

On the contrary, He Jing was a smart woman. She immediately raised her voice and continued to play on emotions: "A Ze, have you really forgotten all these things?"

Luo Yize finally couldn't bear it anymore. He put down his phone heavily, sat up straight, and retorted sharply, "That's enough!"

He Jing's face instantly froze.

"I'm telling you seriously now. Yes, we did cooperate, but cooperation doesn't mean we're a good match."

First showing courtesy and then resorting to force, one should always have a strategy. He Jing leaned back against the chair, crossed her legs, and squinted her eyes as she said, "Luo Yize, don't forget. Although I'm not as good as you in acting, I'm more popular than you. Yes, I do want to use this opportunity to hype myself, but my request to get back together with you is sincere. I'm not trying to harm you. I'm trying to help you. Don't you think about how much traffic this will generate?"

There seemed to be a hint of threat in He Jing's following words: "Do you want me to announce it for you, or will you do it yourself?"

Luo Yize didn't take her words seriously at all. He picked up his phone and continued looking at it. His voice was extremely cold: "Okay, I have other things to do. Let's end it here today!"

Joey Nuo, who was looking at her phone, suddenly received a WeChat message.

When Joey Nuo opened the WeChat message, she was instantly stunned.

He actually asked her to leave with him?

Joey Nuo was caught off guard. Just as she was about to get up, a hand suddenly landed on her shoulder.

Joey Nuo was startled. How did Luo Yize know she was in the bar?
