Capítulo 17: A Loyal Friend

After her movie ended, Song Xing Xing went over to meet Bai Zhi at the meeting place.

Now that her friend was going into the entertainment circle, Bai Zhi would always try to be cautious. Every time they met, Bai Zhi would always arrange for them to have a meal at an inconspicuous and quiet place.

When she arrived at the restaurant, there was only a couple inside the restaurant. A waiter ushered her to a table at a corner and Song Xing Xing took out her phone to check on her messages as she waited for Bai Zhi to show up.

Her eyes brightened when she saw that her younger brother, Song Wei's name on the screen.

Song Xing Xing and Song Wei were five years apart. Back then, her mother had thought that she would never get pregnant again after she gave birth to her. Surprisingly, Song Wei appeared five years later.

As an elder sister, Song Xing Xing loved her brother very much. However, each time she goes out with her brother, Song Xing Xing would often think that she was the younger one instead. Although she was the eldest one, her younger brother was very protective of her and would always stand up for her whenever she was in trouble.

Song Xing Xing clicked on the icon and read the messages. The New Year's vacation will be soon and Song Wei was asking her whether she would return home to celebrate the festival.

At this time, Song Wei was studying in university and had a couple more years before he graduated. After Song Xing Xing had moved to Capital City and Song Wei had gone to pursue his study, the siblings had rarely seen each other. She missed her little brother a little bit.

The show she was going to work on will only start after the new year celebration, of course, Song Xing Xing has to head home to celebrate the festivity with her family.

Song Xing Xing was in the middle of composing her message when she noticed a shadow looming over. She lifted her head and her lips curved into a smile when she saw Bai Zhi with her sunglasses on.

"Sorry, did you wait for too long?" Bai Zhi flashed an apologetic smile before she slid into the chair.

"No. I just arrived a couple of minutes ago," Song Xing Xing said. She clicked on the send button and put her phone on the table.

Bai Zhi flashed a smile and held on to Song Xing Xing's hand. "It will be my treat this time. Just order whatever you want."

At this time, a waiter walked over with the menu. Seeing that Bai Zhi was wearing sunglasses, the waiter could not help but to cast a few glances at Bai Zhi, as he wondered whether he had stumbled into a famous person.

Bai Zhi waited for the waiter to leave with their order before she took off her glasses. "Will that be enough?"

"Mhmm… My stomach is a little full after drinking a cup of milk tea."

Bai Zhi took a deep breath before she held on to Song Xing Xing's hands again. "Xing Xing, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to abandon you. But I cannot let anything happen to me at the moment. You know how hard it is for someone in the industry to survive."

"It's fine." Song Xing Xing had long decided to forget this matter. The more her thoughts dwelt on this matter, she would only be disappointed in Bai Zhi. The two of them have been friends for years and Song Xing Xing did not want to have such negative thoughts about her friend.

Bai Zhi stared at her friend's expression for a while. Once she was sure that Song Xing Xing was not angry about that incident, her lips curled into a smile.

"Xing Xing, you're the best." Bai Zhi gave a little squeeze on Song Xing Xing's hand. "That's right. How did you get out of the police station?"

"My cousin helped me," Song Xing Xing said.

"Your cousin?"

Bai Zhi has long been curious at how Song Xing Xing was able to leave the police station on the same day. When Song Xing Xing called to explain her situation, Bai Zhi could tell that it would be a tricky situation. After all, Song Xing Xing was caught with a picture of a model with some wealthy person together.

The two of them have been around each other for years and Bai Zhi had never known that there was someone capable around this friend.

For Bai Zhi, Song Xing Xing was a loyal friend who would always stick by her side no matter what happened. This was the reason that Bai Zhi continued to let Song Xing Xing around her. If it was not due to this reason, Bai Zhi did not think that the two of them have many things in common.

"Mmm…" Song Xing Xing saw the eagerness in her friend's face and swiftly lowered her gaze. "He helped me to talk into the event management. Since I did not do anything and merely trespassing, the management decided to drop the case. Anyway, it was a small matter and I think, the management did not want to waste their time and money on someone like me."

Bai Zhi pondered about her words and thought that Song Xing Xing's explanation made sense. She was curious to know about the people that appeared on her friend's phone, but unfortunately, Song Xing Xing was forced to delete the picture from her phone before she left the police station and she did not recognize that wealthy young master.

She let out a breath of relief and smiled. "Fortunately, you did not have to go to court. I would be sad if you have to suffer so much because of me."

At this time, the waiter came back with their food order. He glanced at Bai Zhi and quickly looked away when he found that he could not recognize her face.

Song Xing Xing took a sip from her drink and spoke, "Bai Zhi, what about your relationship with Chang Yi? Have you talked to him?"

Hearing the questions made Bai Zhi a little unhappy. "We talked. But he did not admit it. He said that the person is only his senior and his senior wanted to introduce him to some people. Xing Xing, I wanted to trust him one more time."

Song Xing Xing thought about the scene she had watched on that day where Chang Yi and that woman were acting intimately. There was no way that she would believe that man's words.

Unfortunately, she no longer has the photo of Chang Yi and that model on her phone.

Seeing that Bai Zhi was determined to continue to be with Chang Yi, as an outsider, there was nothing that she can say to change her friend's mind.
