Six years ago.

Inside a high-end club in City S.

Xie Zixing impatiently dealt with the person in front of him. Today, his manager, Sister Liu, had a fever, so she didn't accompany him to this dinner party. As a result, he was trapped in the restroom of this clubhouse by someone.

Shen Te Niao is annoyingly troublesome.

Xie Zixing clenched his fists, trying to make his smile appear less forced. After all, he was just a second-tier singer and there was no need to offend these big bosses.

"How about it, Xiao Xie? Follow me and I guarantee you'll achieve great success." Rather than referring to him as a person, it was more accurate to describe him as a bloated lump of fat, arrogantly speaking with a sense of superiority that disgusted others.

Speaking of Xie Zixing, everyone in the industry knows that the eldest young master of the Xie family has fallen from grace. Ever since the downfall of the Xie family, countless people have been eyeing this fair-skinned and beautiful young master, just wanting to taste a piece of him.

As a result, they all ended up disappointed.

No matter what happens today, I must take this person to bed. Thinking about Xie Zixing, a wicked and lascivious expression appeared in this person's eyes.

Xie Zixing endured the nauseating feeling in his stomach. Just now, he was forced to drink a lot of red and white alcohol, and now his stomach was starting to ache faintly. As a result, he was now blocked in this damned place, the restroom. Xie Zixing thought self-deprecatingly that he wondered what expression the big boss in front of him would have when he vomits later.

Just as he was about to refuse, the door to the bathroom was pushed open by someone. It was a man, approximately twenty-three or twenty-four years old, with star-shaped eyebrows, sharp eyes, a tall nose, and thin lips. His sturdy physique was concealed under his suit, giving off an aura of restraint and inviolability.

Xie Zixing's mind went blank when he saw this person, while the newcomer paused for a moment at the sight before curving a mocking smile and then walked towards the bathroom.

Xie Zixing was provoked by that touch of sarcasm, taking two steps forward and directly grabbing the person's neck. With a charming and captivating smile, he purred in a honeyed voice, "Boss Zhao, you want to scheme against me, but have you considered whether my wealthy father approves or not?"

Later, when that person heard the words, a hint of displeasure flashed in their eyes, but they didn't shake off the young man next to them. They pursed their lips and spat out a word to Boss Zhao, "Leave."

Mr. Zhao felt slightly displeased when his conversation was interrupted, but the gaze from the person who arrived made him tremble. He quickly put on a smile and said, "Young Master Qi, I didn't realize that Mr. Xie was under your command. I'll leave immediately, right away."

When Boss Zhao finally crawled out of the restroom, a man known as Young Master Qi shifted his gaze towards the person hanging on him and said, "Get down."

Xie Zixing looked at the person in front of him with their dark eyes. He chuckled self-deprecatingly in his heart, let go of their hand, and stood firmly on the ground. The man turned around and left directly, walking to the innermost compartment and opening the door.

Xie Zixing watched as the man walked into the cubicle and let out a soft sigh. After all these years, this man's temper was still the same.

It's freezing cold.

Xie Zixing walked out of the bathroom, turned on the tap, and splashed several handfuls of water onto his face. Through the mist of water, he awkwardly forced a hideous smile in front of the mirror. Tsk, how ugly it was.

No wonder the person inside doesn't like it.

Cleaning his face and hands, Xie Zixing leaned against the wall and took out a cigarette. He lit it and narrowed his eyes with a hint of nostalgia. How many years had it been?

The Xie family fell when he was eighteen years old.

The man left when he was eighteen years old.

Three years flew by in the blink of an eye.

After years of separation, meeting again under such circumstances, Xie Zixing let out a puff of cigarette smoke from his mouth. It truly was a scene where things have changed and people have changed.

When the man walked out of the restroom, he saw Xie Zixing's delicate face appearing and disappearing amidst the smoke. Her almond-shaped eyes, petite nose, and red lips, untouched by the cigarette she held, came to mind. Thinking back to Xie Zixing's soft figure and the strong smell of alcohol clinging onto him when she had clung onto him just now, a look of disgust filled the man's eyes.

Xie Zixing saw the man walking out of the restroom, subtly but effortlessly raising a smile, one that was exceedingly bright and brilliant.

Hmm, it's a bit strange. Clearly, I couldn't even laugh just a moment ago.

As soon as he saw this person, his facial muscles went completely out of control.

Xie Zixing secretly mocked himself for being extremely cheap. From the age of twelve to twenty-one, he adored this person for nearly ten years. And now, he was still filled with overwhelming joy every time he saw this person.

Ignoring Xie Zixing, Qi Zihao simply lifted his leg and left. However, just as he passed by Xie Zixing, someone grabbed his sleeve. Without needing to turn around, he knew who it was.

"Mr. Qi, thank you for today, but could I trouble you to give me a ride home? My manager didn't come today," Xie Zixing's eyes held a hidden expectation that even he wasn't aware of. With lowered gaze, Xie Zixing appeared both meek and innocent.

"Since the agent didn't come, you dared to come and sleep with a man?" Qi Zihao's opening remark was the most hurtful one. Xie Zixing was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, but soon burst into a gentle laughter.

"Yeah, that person just now tasted pretty good." Xie Zixing said as he spoke, sticking out his tongue to lick his lips. The flirtatiousness between his eyebrows and eyes made him look like a living fairy, but deep down, he was in excruciating pain, as if someone was stabbing a freshly scabbed wound with a knife, causing it to bleed profusely.

Qi Zihao suddenly turned his head towards Xie Zixing. Xie Zixing was taken aback, but then he saw that Qi Zihao started undoing the buttons on his suit. Xie Zixing quickly let go of his hand. Although it was already midsummer, the air conditioning in this club was turned up high, so it would still be cold without wearing a jacket.

Qi Zihao turned around and walked away, clenching his fist tightly as he squeezed out a few words through his gritted teeth, "Follow me."

Many years have passed, yet he still has no resistance to this face.

As long as this expression is revealed on his face, he can't refuse.

Xie Zixing didn't know why Qi Zihao suddenly changed his mind, but it was possible that paparazzi were lurking outside the club, digging for news. Although he was a B-list celebrity, this was the only job that brought in quick money, so he couldn't afford to lose it.

After all, the Xie family still had so many debts to repay.

Assistant Fang was originally playing on his phone while leaning against the elevator. When he saw his boss approaching, he immediately straightened his body, intending to start reporting on the attitude of the cooperative partner. However, he noticed a little fairy following behind his boss. Hmph, she looked familiar, but didn't the boss just go to the restroom? Where did this little fairy come from? Assistant Fang wondered.

Turning around, Fang Tao pressed the button of the elevator. He politely smiled at the little fairy behind the boss. Xie Zixing returned the smile and then stood in the corner of the elevator, quietly diminishing his own presence.

Assistant Feng secretly observed the young man standing in the corner, his eyes filled with curiosity. Qi Zi Hao noticed every movement of Assistant Feng and felt instantly displeased. He pursed his lips and uttered one word, "Speak."

Fang, the assistant, was momentarily stunned, then immediately switched into work mode and said, "The cooperating party is very satisfied with the conditions we proposed. However, we just received news that Zhao Enterprises is also very interested in this piece of land and has put forward quite generous terms."

"Zhao Shi?" Qi Zihao narrowed his eyes upon hearing the words, his voice filled with a chilling intent. Heh, it seems like he walked right into his trap.

For some unknown reason, Fangte Assistant inexplicably felt that the boss was angry. Although he didn't know what Zhao Enterprises had done to make the boss angry, Fangte Assistant silently wished them well in his heart. Even though the boss had just returned from M country, his methods were no less inferior to those of the Qi family head.

The two of them discussed official business in hushed voices, but Xie Zixing's mind had already flown to a distant place, M Country. He had once measured the distance between himself and his beloved on a map with the palm of his hand.

So far away.

It felt as though they were so far apart, as if they were not living under the same sky.

The height of 90,000 feet and the distance of 20,000 feet made Xie Zixing hesitate.
