You're My Only Star

Chapter 29 - They Were No Longer Friends



The next morning, Song Xing Xing took her time as she had her breakfast in the coffee house. At the thought that someone was waiting for her at home, Song Xing Xing was too lazy to return. However, that place was still her home and Mr. Fluffball would get angry if he was not fed with his favorite food in time.

With a heavy heart, Song Xing Xing could only return.

Just as she had thought, Bai Zhi was waiting for her outside her door when she arrived.

Song Xing Xing peeked from behind the wall and wondered if Bai Zhi has been waiting for her outside the door for the whole night. Song Xing Xing stood there and observed Bai Zhi for a while before she walked out from her hiding place.

As soon as Bai Zhi heard the sound of footsteps heading to her location, she immediately stood up. Her eyes widened the moment she saw her friend. After squatting in front of Song Xing Xing's door for the whole night, her legs were aching and she could only limp over to her friend's side.

Bai Zhi looked at Song Xing Xing from head to toe and saw that her friend was wearing the same dress as she did yesterday. Looking at her friend's bright face, Bai Zhi wondered what had happened to her friend after she left the restaurant.

"Xing Xing! Where did you go? I have been waiting for you the whole night! Why didn't you answer the phone? I tried to call you a hundred times!"

"My phone ran out of its battery." Song Xing Xing stared at her friend and thought that her concern was a little funny.

Bai Zhi wanted to curse when she heard her explanation, but she recalled that she could no longer reach her friend's phone after calling many times. Bai Zhi guessed that her insistent phone calls lead Song Xing Xing's phone to run out of battery.

She took a deep breath and calm down. "Xing Xing, where did you go last night?"

"I spend the night at the hotel. What's wrong?"

"What?"

"Last night, someone helped me to check-in into the hotel. The front service lady said that it was a woman. When I heard the lady's words, I knew that it was you." Song Xing Xing paused and looked at her friend inquiringly. "Bai Zhi, don't tell me that it wasn't you."

Hearing Song Xing Xing's words, Bai Zhi was momentarily confused at what was going on.

Last night, Producer Ye had called her. She was scolded terribly and Producer Ye had threatened that she was going to lose her role as the third female lead if she messed up with him again.

Through Producer Ye, Bai Zhi heard that Song Xing Xing was taken away by a man from NEXT Group. He told her that the NEXT Group's president's special assistant had shown up personally and called the police.

Bai Zhi thought for a while and figured that the only person who would dare to ask the president's special assistant would be the president of NEXT Group himself. Initially, Bai Zhi was still doubting her guess. However, other than this explanation, Bai Zhi could not think of anything else.

"It wasn't me," Bai Zhi said. She opened her mouth to say more, but Song Xing Xing's next sentences turned her speechless.

"Last night, I drank a little too much. You know that I could not drink more than three glasses." Song Xing Xing narrowed her eyes at her. "Bai Zhi, it wasn't you who stayed by my side?"

Hearing those words, Bai Zhi felt guilty. She knew well what she had planned, but she did not think that Song Xing Xing would escape and met someone else.

Bai Zhi saw the way Song Xing Xing was looking at her and knew that her friend was waiting for her explanation.

"Xing Xing, you know that I have another job after that party," Bai Zhi spoke. This time, her voice was soft and gentle. "I saw that you were too drunk and had entrusted you to a female colleague. I told her that I was going to come over and pick you up after my job is done. However, when I returned to the restaurant, you were no longer around."

Song Xing Xing suppressed her disappointment upon hearing Bai Zhi's words. She has been watching Bai Zhi's movement the moment she had played her role as a drunk woman. Bai Zhi was lying.

What female colleague? Why wasn't she aware that Producer Ye is a woman?

Song Xing Xing wondered if she should clap her hands and gave Bai Zhi a standing ovation for her good acting. Why didn't she realized earlier that Bai Zhi liked acting a lot?

"I tried to find you afterward," Bai Zhi said. "My friend said that someone picked you up. He only gave a name card. He said his name is Bei Yuan and he is from NEXT Group. Xing Xing, when did you became an acquaintance with someone from NEXT Group?"

Song Xing Xing pretended that she did not understand Bai Zhi's words. "Bai Zhi, how can I be an acquaintance with someone from NEXT Group?"

Bai Zhi looked at the dress that her friend was wearing. Then, she recalled the old apartment where Song Xing Xing was staying.

This was an old area and the building was too old. Bai Zhi then realized that there was no way that someone like Song Xing Xing to know someone from NEXT Group.

Song Xing Xing walked towards her door before she turned to Bai Zhi again.

"Was that person from NEXT Group is that important?"

"Of course it is. Xing Xing, don't you know-" Her words were left unfinished as Song Xing Xing had spoken again.

"Bai Zhi, if it wasn't you who help me to check-in into the hotel, then who was it?"

Hearing her words, Bai Zhi felt an incoming headache. At this time, she was more concerned about the man from NEXT Group who was powerful enough to send Producer Ye to the police station and let him spend a night there.

"Last night, I only help you to drink a few more glasses when you told me that you would send me home safely." Song Xing Xing flashed her a hurt expression. "You did not even look after me and let me be taken away by another man. Bai Zhi, are you not worried that something was going to happen to me? I thought that you are my friend."

Her expression changed and Bai Zhi sensed an incoming danger. She was not willing to lose Song Xing Xing as her friend. She wanted to say something to defend herself, but Song Xing Xing's expression was too scary.

"It seemed that I am the only one who thinks of you as my friend. However, you don't care what will happen to me at all. Bai Zhi, I am disappointed in you."

Her eyes were wide as she watched Song Xing Xing entered the door and slammed the door on her face. She tried to knock on her friend's door and demanded to be given the chance to explain. However, one nosy neighbor had called the security and she was taken away from the apartment building.

Once the noise outside her door disappeared, Song Xing Xing heaved a sigh.

From now on, they were no longer friends.

Bai Zhi should be embarrassed and never find her again.

However, Song Xing Xing knew best that Bai Zhi would thicken her face and meet her again once she thought she had calmed down.
