Wen Zhi was used to being cherished by Lu Ziqiu. Suddenly seeing Lu Ziqiu's gloomy gaze, she was startled.
After quickly adjusting her emotions, Wen Zhi walked over with a beaming smile and said in a soft voice, "What's wrong, Ziqiu? You seem to be in a bad mood?"
Wen Zhi's concerned words continued, "Didn't you have a good time at the lantern festival tonight? Did you have a quarrel with Teacher Wen?"
[Zhi Zhi is really so understanding!]
[As soon as she said this, I suddenly feel that I can ship my childhood - sweetheart CP!]
[I feel that Zhi Zhi is really so gentle! Who would be so lucky to be friends with her for a lifetime!]
[From a passer - by's perspective... why does it seem that Wen Zhi is a bit tea - like?]
[What does this mean? Why does it seem that Wen Zhi is insinuating about Wen Yin?]
[Is this the competition between female celebrities? I've seen it!]
[Wen Zhi is pulling others down to elevate herself! What are Wen Zhi's fans still boasting about?]
As soon as these words were out, Wen Zhi sensitively noticed that Lu Ziqiu's face darkened even more.
She rarely saw such an expression on Lu Ziqiu's face. Associating it with Wen Yin she had just mentioned, she was certain that something unpleasant had happened between Lu Ziqiu and Wen Yin.
Lu Ziqiu's gloomy face got even darker. He said in a flat tone, "It's nothing."
Xiao Mo and Jiang Shihuai were a bit tired after strolling around with Wen Zhi. At this moment, they were resting on the sofa and casually watching the interaction between Wen Zhi and Lu Ziqiu.
Lu Ziqiu signaled Wen Zhi with his eyes to look at the microphone on her collar, and then glanced at the camera imperceptibly.
Wen Zhi quickly understood what Lu Ziqiu meant. The two of them turned off the microphones while avoiding the camera.
Lu Ziqiu quickly said, "Let's talk outside."
Then he walked out seemingly casually. Wen Zhi had a faint smile on her face. She chatted with Xiao Mo and the other for a while, and then slowly walked out.
At this time, she happened to meet Li Xiangwei and Xiang Zhou coming back. So the netizens didn't pay attention to Lu Ziqiu and Wen Zhi. They were chatting and speculating about the atmosphere between the two.
When Wen Zhi chased after him, she saw Lu Ziqiu standing in the dimness. His expression was obscure. An inexplicable uneasiness welled up in her heart.
"Have you seen today's hot search?"
Knowing that this was a live - broadcast, Lu Ziqiu didn't intend to waste too much time. He went straight to the point.
Wen Zhi thought that Lu Ziqiu was standing up for her. Her rosy lips pouted slightly, and her tone was full of coquetry and grievance.
"I've seen it. I don't know which servant is so bored. I was just in a bad mood that day. I didn't expect to be recorded by someone with ulterior motives. She wanted to smear me on purpose!"
Wen Zhi had thought about this statement for a long time. She had explained it like this to Xiao Mo and Jiang Shihuai, and the two of them naturally believed her words.
But Lu Ziqiu frowned. "What are you talking about? I'm asking about Wen Yin's hot search today."
Wen Zhi's coquettish words suddenly got stuck in her throat. An expression of disbelief flashed across her beautiful eyes, but she covered it up well.
She said softly, "Did sister also make it onto the hot search today?"
Lu Ziqiu seemed to not expect that she didn't know. He directly explained, "The gift I gave Wen Yin in college was sold by Qin Xixi."
"Do you know about this?"
Lu Ziqiu pressed on step by step and got straight to the point.
Wen Zhi seemed to not expect that Lu Ziqiu would ask about such an old matter. The smile on her lips froze on her face.
She didn't know how to explain for a moment.
Lu Ziqiu actually knew about those little tricks between Qin Xixi and her...
Wen Zhi's gaze towards Lu Ziqiu was a bit complicated. In just a few seconds, Lu Ziqiu stared at her intently, not missing any expression on Wen Zhi's face.
Wen Zhi's silence was the best answer, at least it could prove -
She knew about this.
Lu Ziqiu pondered for a few seconds and turned to leave. "I see."
Sensing Lu Ziqiu's coldness, Wen Zhi quickly came to her senses from the shock. She chased after him. "Ziqiu, I only found out about this later. At that time, Xixi and sister didn't get along well, so she did something wrong."
Wen Zhi shifted all the blame onto Qin Xixi.
She must never let Lu Ziqiu know that she had instigated Qin Xixi to do all those things back then!
"Why didn't you tell me a few days ago?"
Thinking of the watch she gave him, Lu Ziqiu frowned tightly, and his tone was full of interrogation.
Wen Zhi was completely stunned. If she had known a few days ago that this hot search would dig a hole for herself, she definitely wouldn't have done it!
After this question was asked, Lu Ziqiu couldn't bear it anymore. He took a small step back to distance himself from Wen Zhi.
Disappointment and complexity were evident in his eyes as he looked at Wen Zhi.
"Zhi Zhi, Wen Yin bought back those gifts later."
"I hope that you and Qin Xixi won't do such things again in the future."
After saying this, Lu Ziqiu lifted his feet and was in a hurry to leave.
"Ziqiu, it seems that you've been getting along well with sister recently."
Wen Zhi endured the sourness in her heart. The dim light shone on her face, clearly showing the glistening in her beautiful eyes and the redness around them.
Lu Ziqiu's footsteps paused. He didn't turn around or answer. He quickened his pace, as if she behind him was some kind of ferocious beast.
Wen Zhi's pupils widened in disbelief. She stood there staring at Lu Ziqiu's back resentfully.
It shouldn't be like this.
In her subconsciousness, Lu Ziqiu should revolve around her.
Why had things changed like this in just a few days!
Wen Zhi didn't dare to let her tears fall. There were countless pairs of eyes watching her during the live - broadcast. How could she make such a small mistake?
After gathering her emotions, Wen Zhi slowly walked back.
The other eight guests were already seated in the living room, waiting for her.
Wen Zhi showed a sweet smile. "I just went outside to get some fresh air. Sorry to keep you all waiting."
Her tone was soft, and her attitude was impeccable, which made people like her even more.
[Little angel Zhi Zhi is really a delight to look at!]
[Zhi Zhi is so gentle! I like her so much!]
The program crew announced the activity for tonight and handed out the props to the guests.
Wen Zhi took the small device. Just one glance told her what it was -
A lie detector.
"As usual, whoever the glass bottle points to will answer a truth - telling question. But this time, you need to put your hand on the lie detector. If the lie detector beeps, you need to answer another question."
The director briefly explained the rules, and the guests nodded.
Wen Yin was still sitting in an inconspicuous corner, carefully smoothing the wrinkles on her dress.
The green glass bottle spun on the table, making a moderate sound. The guests held their breaths, eager to see who it would land on.
It slowly stopped, pointing at the lazy white - dressed woman leaning on the sofa, looking bored.
