Kidnap a superstar for a romance

Chapter 471 The 467th day of being a boss (fantasy and reality)

Li Xu found what he wanted to do when he was very young. He liked music and the stage. He wanted more people to hear his voice and he wanted to stand in the most eye-catching place on the stage and be surrounded by people's lights.

So when a well-known record company in the industry approached their band to sign a contract when they graduated from high school, Li Xu and the other members of the band agreed without any hesitation.

It was only after taking this step that Li Xu realized that becoming a star was completely different from what he thought before his debut as just focusing on making music.

Too many things other than music squeezed out his dream, and under such pressure, everyone in the band had other ideas.

Li Xu felt as if he had taken the wrong path.

In just a few short years, his dream seemed to be eaten up by something, but he didn't want to give up holding on to the remaining fragments.

The true thoughts in his heart were constantly fighting against the reality. At this moment, Li Xu felt like a desperate moth trapped in a huge spider web. The more he struggled, the tighter the silk threads on his body became, so tight that he could hardly breathe.

He knew that this thought was dangerous, but his once close teammates were now strangers, and his parents were never someone he could confide in. His only choice was his sister.

But this was the only option he didn't want to choose. His sister had finally left him and had her own life, and he didn't want to tie her back to his side.

Li Xu thought that maybe he could get over it on his own, so he kept dragging it on day by day until it was too late to turn back.

On the morning when Li Xi was about to go for the audition, she received a call from Li Xu.

There was nothing special about the content of the call. It was the same as every other call in the past. But perhaps because both of them were very busy, the boring and meaningless words that were used to be exchanged on the phone were omitted, and only brief greetings were left.

"Xixi, bye."

It was clearly a very familiar farewell, but Li Xi subconsciously frowned after hearing it.

When Li Xu said this, some images suddenly flashed through her mind, some familiar...dusty past.

Li Xi's fingers tightened around the phone, and her fingertips turned white from the force, but she asked in a normal voice, "Brother, where are you?"

Li Xu on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned when he heard his brother's words, and then he laughed: "What's wrong today? Does the sun rise from the west in the morning? Is there anything you want to buy? Just say it directly, don't play tricks on me, I have goose bumps."

"I have something I want to talk to you in person."

Li Xu, who never refused her, hesitated this time. But Li Xi did not give him the chance to refuse. She just said that she would go to find him and hung up the phone.

Even though Li Xu didn't tell her where he was, she seemed to already know where he was.

After hanging up the phone, Li Xi stared at the colorful glass bottles hanging on the wall of the room, wondering what she was thinking. After a long time, she walked over, picked a bottle at random, opened it, poured out the small rolled-up paper inside, and opened it.

After seeing the content above, Li Xi bit her lower lip and chuckled. Then she stuffed the things back into the bottle and hung it back on the wall.

When leaving the house, Li Xi glanced at the rabbit doll sitting on the bed, and an inexplicable emotion flashed across her eyes.

The audition materials that she had prepared for a whole month were now placed on the desk intact. She didn't take them because she decided not to go for the audition after she received the call.

That audition no longer meant anything to her.

Li Xi did know where to find Li Xu.

She came to a familiar door but did not knock at the first time. Instead, she stood at the door for nearly half an hour before she raised her hand and rang the doorbell.

The person inside opened the door after a while. When he saw Li Xi, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes and he asked, "How did you know I was here?"

He had never brought Li Xi here before.

Li Xi didn't say anything, but just looked at Li Xu deeply and walked straight in and sat down on the sofa.

Recalling that Li Xi had said on the phone that she had something to discuss with him in person, Li Xu no longer bothered about how Li Xi had found him. He poured her a glass of juice and handed it to her, then awkwardly cleaned up the clothes and wine bottles that were scattered everywhere, and said in an inexplicably guilty tone: "These past few days... I haven't been in a good mood, and I've been a bit depressed."

Li Xi didn't like him drinking, and would have scolded him if she saw him drinking like this.

However, the expected anger did not appear.

Li Xu subconsciously looked at Li Xi and found that she was looking at him quietly.

To be honest, he felt that Li Xi was not angry, but that was why he felt even more terrified: "Well, why don't you just scold me..." Seeing her like this made him feel uneasy.

Li Xi shook her head, stood up, then hugged Li Xu without saying a word.

The sudden action startled Li Xu, and without caring about anything else, he asked nervously: "What's wrong? Did someone bully you? Didn't you go for an audition today? Didn't you pass? Even if you didn't pass, it doesn't matter. Our Xixi is still young and so talented. There will be many opportunities in the future..."

Li Xu asked all the possible questions he could think of, but Li Xi still just hugged him and said nothing.

Gradually, Li Xu stopped asking questions, reached out to hug her back, and patted her back gently like he did when they were little.

"It's okay, brother will always be here."

"No, you liar!"

“What…?” Li Xu was stunned for a moment when he heard Li Xi’s rebuttal, looking confused.

Li Xi lowered her head and covered her face without explaining. She just wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve, then took out a notebook from her bag and handed it over.

Li Xu took the book and looked at her with some confusion as he opened it and asked, "What is it?"

"The song I promised you." Li Xi didn't look at Li Xu's reaction, but turned her head and looked quietly at a green plant in the corner while answering.

Now it was Li Xu's turn to remain silent.

Li Xi reached out and poked the leaves of the green radish that were growing well, and said to herself, "I promised to give it to you a long time ago, but I haven't given it to you yet. Didn't you say that you would sing the song I wrote in your new album this year?"

"But you said you hadn't written it yet?"

When Li Xu asked her a week ago, Li Xi told him that she had not started writing yet, but there were clearly no less than ten songs written in the notebook.

"Yeah." Li Xi lowered his head, smiled silently, and responded softly.

She certainly hadn't written it at that time.

But Li Xi did not say exactly when it was written.

She turned around and looked at Li Xu, and their two pairs of very similar eyes suddenly met, and for a moment it was as if they were looking in a mirror. Li Xi asked: "If I could have given these to you earlier, would you not have left?"

"What are you talking about? I don't understand." Her words made Li Xu a little confused.

Li Xi didn't answer, but continued: "If I had given it to you earlier, if I had come to find you earlier, maybe everything would be different..." These words were no longer spoken to Li Xu.

As the words fell, the expression on Li Xu's face, who was standing opposite her, changed slightly.

He suddenly smiled, his expression and tone were the gentleness that Li Xi was most familiar with. He asked, "Isn't it good like this now? I haven't left, and neither have you. We can be together forever." His pleasant voice at this moment carried a magic that could make people indulge in it.

"No."

Faced with such temptation, Li Xi refused straightforwardly.

She looked at the familiar eyes again, but her gaze was not focused on what was in front of her. It was more like she wanted to miss someone through the person in front of her.

After a long time, she lowered her eyes and smiled softly, breaking the beautiful dream and her own fantasy: "Because you are not Li Xu, and I am no longer Li Xi."

Yes, even though the person in front of her looked exactly like the Li Xu in her memory, she knew that this was not her brother.

And it was impossible for me to become Li Xi again. She already had a new life, a new identity, and a new family.

She is now——Xu Yisong.
