Chapter 137: A Different Journey

  "Okay, stop crying! If you cry again, you won't be beautiful anymore." Guo Xiaoyu said while helping Deng Ziqi wipe away her tears in the backstage, "Girls are made of water, if they cry too much, they'll become dehydrated, and dehydration accelerates aging."

  After listening to Guo Xiaoyu say this, Deng Ziqi stopped crying and looked at Guo Xiaoyu, asking: "When did you come?"

  "Just now when I was talking to you on the phone, I arrived." Guo Xiaoyu turned around and said: "How is it? Surprised?"

  "Hmph...". Seeing Guo Xiaoyu's silly expression, Deng Ziqi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  "Alright! As long as you're smiling, it's all good!" Guo Xiaoyu rubbed his stomach and said pitifully: "You see, it's already so late outside. I didn't even have dinner before coming to find you. Don't you think you should treat me to a big meal?"

  Hearing Guo Xiaoyu say that, Deng Ziqi also touched her own little belly and said: "I'm a bit hungry too."

  "Alright, let's go eat." Guo Xiaoyu pulled Deng Ziqi and was about to head out.

  "No." Deng Zi Qi hugged Guo Xiao Yu's hands and said: "I want to eat honey ribs, and also sweet and sour pork."

  Hearing her say that, Guo Xiaoyu smiled and said: "Then let's go! You're the host, you say where to eat and we'll go there."

  "Ah?" said Deng Ziqi: "Or we go home, you make it for me, okay?"

  "That's you again." Guo Xiaoyu said with feigned anger: "As soon as I arrive, you want me to do hard labor!"

  "I just want to eat!" Deng Ziqi shook Guo Xiaoyu's arm, coquettishly saying: "How about it?" Looking at Deng Ziqi now, where does she look like a big star, she is simply a little girl who wants candy.

  "Alright!" Guo Xiaoyu scratched her nose and said: "You say how it is, then that's how it is. Alright! Let's go buy some vegetables first."

  "Hooray!"

  After the two greeted Yu Jie, they took a taxi together to the nearest supermarket from Deng Ziqi's house. Unlike Guo Xiaoyu, who had to run to He Laoshi's house to cook a dish, Deng Ziqi was a famous singer in Hong Kong and naturally had a place to stay.

  Two people were picking and choosing in the supermarket, without any disguise, completely ignoring the discussions of the crowd around them, letting them take pictures freely. Before long, a hot post appeared on the internet with the title "Failed in singing but successful in love! Guo Xiaoyu and Deng Ziqi hand in hand sweetly strolling through the supermarket". The author of the post, Xingxing Huoliao, wrote: "Around 8 o'clock tonight, I saw Deng Ziqi and Guo Xiaoyu holding hands, sweetly strolling through a market in Hong Kong! It seems they are preparing to go home and cook dinner, the two suspected to be cohabiting!"

  At this time, Guo Xiaoyu couldn't care less about what they were talking nonsense about. The two of them had finished buying vegetables and were walking hand in hand towards Deng Ziqi's house.

  "Ziqi, is there no one else at your home?" Last time it was Deng Ziqi who was worried about this problem, this time it's Guo Xiaoyu's turn to worry.

  "No one." Deng Zi Qi shook her head and said, "My parents don't live here. I'm usually the only one living here, and my friends occasionally come to stay over."

  "Friend?" Guo Xiaoyu hastily asked: "Male or female?"

  "Look at your petty temper." Deng Ziqi patted him and said, "Girl."

  "It's not okay for girls either." Guo Xiaoyu said with one hand wrapped around hers, "From now on, your family can only allow me to enter alone."

  "How overbearing!" Deng Ziqi frowned and said, "Alright, if you can catch up to me, I'll agree." With that, Deng Ziqi took off running.

  "Hey... wait a minute." Guo Xiaoyu was running behind, and suddenly fell to the ground.

  "What's wrong?" Deng Zi Qi hurried over and asked anxiously: "Where are you hurt?"

  "It seems like I've twisted my ankle." Guo Xiaoyu tried to make herself look more pitiful.

  "Ah, sprained ankle?" Deng Ziqi looked around and found no one, so she took out her phone to make an emergency call.

  "There's no need to be so alarmed." Guo Xiaoyu stopped her and said, "Just help me up, and we can go back to your place to rest for a bit."

  "Alright." Deng Ziqi hastily went to pull Guo Xiaoyu.

  Looking at the face that was so familiar and had been on his mind day and night, Guo Xiaoyu kissed her lips and then quickly got up and ran away.

  Deng Zi Qi, who had been kissed by Guo Xiao Yu, stood still for a moment before reacting and shouting angrily: "Fine! You dare to deceive me, Guo Xiao Yu, stop right there!" She then chased after him.

  The two of them made their way noisily to Deng Ziqi's home.

  "Alright, you rest for a while, I'll go cook." Guo Xiaoyu poured Deng Ziqi a cup of water before heading to the kitchen with the dishes.

  Watching Guo Xiaoyu's busy figure in the kitchen, Deng Ziqi couldn't help but feel a little dazed. This subtle beauty made her very comfortable, she really wanted to! She really wanted to spend the rest of her life with Guo Xiaoyu like this. Don't look at how dazzling and charming she is on stage, in reality, she's just a little woman who needs to be pampered and loved!

  After confirming their relationship that day, when she returned to Hong Kong, her good friend asked her: "Guo Xiaoyu is just a part-time singer of TFBoys, why do you like him?"

  Why? Why did she like Guo Xiaoyu? She had asked herself this question before, but she couldn't find the answer.

  Is it because Guo Xiaoyu is handsome? There are many people who are more handsome than him!

  Is Guo Xiaoyu talented? What does it mean for a young person who has just emerged in the selection to be talented again? Not to mention that Deng Ziqi is a great talent herself!

  Is it because you see a bright future for him? That's all nonsense, every genius was once considered useless before they grew up!

  That's why. After thinking for a long time, the scene of Guo Xiaoyu writing songs in the restaurant that afternoon kept appearing in front of her eyes. She didn't know why, but when she thought of this scene, Deng Ziqi felt an unprecedented sense of trust. So she took Guo Xiaoyu to the Fountain Square and told him her story, boldly expressing her thoughts at the concert! These things don't need any reason, they just did it. Seeing this scene in front of her eyes, Deng Ziqi felt that everything she had done was worth it! Because this man loved her so much!

  At this time, Guo Xiaoyu's voice came from the kitchen: "Ziqi, where is your family's olive oil? Stir-frying green vegetables with olive oil smells better."

  "Oh, I remember putting it in that small cabinet." Deng Ziqi quickly got up and went to the kitchen.

  After finding the olive oil, Guo Xiaoyu was still busy with her own affairs, while Deng Ziqi leaned against the kitchen door, looking at Guo Xiaoyu's busy figure with a sweet expression on her face. The curved corners of her mouth made her feel truly happy! So happy!

  It's finally done after being busy for half a day.

  "Alright, let's eat!" Guo Xiaoyu helped Deng Ziqi pick up a piece of pork ribs and said: "You're not the one who loves to eat this pork rib the most! Eat more."

  "Mmm." Deng Ziqi smiled sweetly and took it over.

  After dinner, the two of them sat together on the couch watching TV. Suddenly, Guo Xiaoyu had an idea and asked Deng Ziqi: "Ziqi, are you busy these days?"

  "Not busy." Deng Ziqi leaned her head on Guo Xiaoyu's shoulder and said, "These days are just to accompany you well."

  "Really?" Guo Xiaoyu looked at Deng Ziqi and said: "Or, let's go out and have some fun?"

  "Want to go out and play?" Deng Ziqi asked puzzled: "Where are we going to play?"

  "Go to Yunnan." Then Guo Xiaoyu introduced Deng Ziqi to what Zuo Cha had told him.

  Looking at the photo handed to her by Guo Xiaoyu, Deng Ziqi's tears had already flowed out uncontrollably, and she choked with sobs: "They... how did they... live?"

  "Yes! How can they live there? Generation after generation, living in a place with hundreds of thousands of landmines!" At this point, Guo Xiaoyu also couldn't speak.

  The most frightening thing about landmines is not the death they bring, but the fear, endless and boundless, a lifetime of fear! Because most landmines are not fatal, they only leave people with lifelong disabilities, bringing lifelong pain to their hearts. Every windy and rainy day, the double pain of body and mind will torment them, making life worse than death!

  "We are just singers, we can only care for them in our own way. Those landmines cannot be completely removed with money." Millions of landmines, this kind of military supplies, ordinary people can't even touch it, no matter how much money you have, without the authorization above, you can only watch.

  After some discussion, Deng Ziqi finally decided to put aside all her work and help Zuocha complete this promotional video!
