This was Simon’s and he had given it to her when she was shooting a movie previously, where she said she was bored and wanted to listen to some songs.
Because she had been using it all the while, she did not have the time to give it back to him so she had them with her until this day.
She smiled. "Yes."
As Simon frowned, his expression suddenly turned complicated.
"Lucy, you don't have to do this. I did say that even if we can't become lovers, we can still be friends. These things..."
"These things belong to you. I just borrowed them so, of course, they should be returned to you."
She smiled sincerely and earnestly. "If you want to give it to me the next time, you’ll have to give me a brand new one and I won’t reject it.”
Simon was taken aback, and only after a few seconds did he realize what she meant.
Young men and women should naturally learn to avoid suspicion.
Whatever he used had his aura and energy. If she continued to use it, their ambiguous relationship that was constantly indistinguishable would persist.
One day, if he saw her taking it out by accident, it would inevitably arouse the emotions in his heart which would, in turn, make him sad and dejected.
However, now that she had returned everything to him, even if he sent it to her again in the future, it would only be given as a friend.
When he thought of this, Simon suddenly understood Lucy's painstaking intentions, and there was a bitter feeling in his heart.
He nodded while putting it away. "Okay, I see."
After a pause, he asked, "You didn't answer my question today. Who is he?"
Lucy pursed her lips, not wanting to answer the question.
If she could answer it, she would have already answered at noon today.
After thinking about it, she could only say, "It doesn't matter who he is anymore. In short, in this world, I won’t be with anyone except him at the moment."
Simon knew that by raising this question, he was actually very likely to hurt himself again.
However, he still could not help it.
Upon hearing her answer, he shot her a glance and smiled bitterly. "Then, I can only say that he is really lucky."
Lucy was indifferent about this sentence.
Simon sighed. "All right. If that's the case, then I'll go first."
Lucy nodded as Simon left.
The night scene contained several outdoor scenes in the middle.
It was already the twelfth lunar month. Since it was winter, it was still very cold outside.
In the evening, snowflakes floated in the sky, adding to the bleak and depressing atmosphere.
By the time they had filmed the scene, it was already 9 pm.
Lucy felt really cold. After receiving the news that work had wrapped up, she pulled her army coat around her tightly and walked to the hotel with Carina.
Since it was late, some people were still filming on set.
The rest had already returned to the hotel.
Therefore, when she and Carina returned to the hotel, it was rare that there were just the two of them.
Because the studio was not far from the hotel, the roadside was filled with snow on such winter nights and it only took a few minutes to drive there.
However, Lucy was famished and did not want to order takeaway, so she had planned to go back with Carina and buy something to eat on the way.
Unexpectedly, after the two had bought two portions of barbecued meat and a serving of fried rice, a dark shadow suddenly appeared from the alley when they were walking to the hotel.
The black shadow was so fast as it quickly grabbed Lucy and dragged her into the alley.
Carina was already nervous, but when she heard that voice, she turned around subconsciously.
When she saw the figure standing under the streetlamp in the alleyway, she ran over as if she had seen her savior.
"Brother Si!"
Simon had actually been hungry too. Shane should have been the one to buy him supper, but the man had caught a cold today.
He did not want Shane to come out and be exposed to the cold wind, so without telling Shane, he came out to get his own supper instead.
After he had bought his supper and while he was walking back, he heard a familiar female voice calling out.
Curious, he leaned over and took a look to find that he really knew the person. Hence, he shouted out.
Seeing Carina's aggrieved and frightened expression, Simon was a little surprised.
"What's going on? Why are you alone? What about your artist?”
Carina was so anxious that she almost cried. "Brother Si, I beg you to save Sister Lucy! She’s missing."
Simon's face changed drastically when he heard what she said.
"What do you mean? Who’s missing? Speak clearly."
Carina told Simon all about what she had just encountered.
In fact, because things were very simple and they had happened very quickly, all she uttered were just a few words.
However, Simon could understand the danger just from those few words.
Firstly, the other party had run out of the alley and suddenly assaulted them.
It was no coincidence as the night was cold and late.
