Chapter 848 Very Lonely

??Hyson looked down at his phone screen and then looked up at the sign in front of him. It seemed like he was at the right location but he didn't expect this location to be such a place.

??"There is still time before the sunset," he muttered to himself. "Why are people calling me to a bar?"

??More than the former part, he was confused about the latter part. Obviously, people can drink in daylight who made the rule that they can't? Who is he to question that? But did he look like someone who was a patron of such establishments? He did not think he looked like someone who frequented a bar. 

??Still, he walked inside silently. In the sophisticated bar, there weren't that many people at this time. As the office hours just ended, the people were yet to come to hang out at such a place. And that made it easier for Hyson to find the person who called him here.

??He went to the bar counter and sat down on the high stool. 

??"Sister Xin!" he called out to the woman who was staring at the empty glass before her. Her eyes didn't seem clear which meant she already had a few drinks. Hyson sighed to himself. He never liked dealing with drunk people.

??He was enjoying himself at home when he received a call from his agent, Li Xinxin who asked him to meet her. She even sent her location and asked him to hurry up. Hyson was still confused about when even Li Xinxin come back to the city when she already hung up the call and he couldn't even inquire what it was all about. 

??But considering that he actually left his agent behind while he ran away from shooting, he was feeling a little guilty. Nope, he was not guilty that he ran away, he was guilty that he troubled others. After all, when his family was concerned how could he not run? 

??Even though he ran away so irresponsibly, his agent cleaned up the mess he left behind and the mess he created by not wearing a mask when he took the flight back home. She cleaned up everything for her. So, since she was a good agent, Hyson decided to just accompany her to the bar and figure out what was going on.

??"Hyson!"

??Hyson raised his brow when he heard her calling him. From her voice, she definitely didn't seem drunk at all. But Hyson could tell she was tipsy. 

??"Yes, Sister Xin?"

??"I called you here for two things," said Li Xinxin. "First, I'll introduce you to your assistant. Second, I have a couple of scripts I want you to choose from."

??Hyson blinked at her as she pulled out the scripts from her bag and slid it towards him. He didn't take it. He silently looked at her for a while before speaking, "I already told you I don't plan on developing my career in acting. It's not my field."

??"I know," answered Li Xinxin. "But after the production group released the promotional pictures on the official Weibo account, there is a lot of discussion going on. Needless to say, your popularity is very attractive to some directors and they are willing to give a rookie actor like you a chance. There is nothing wrong with it. It's always a win-win situation. You'll get more exposure and the production groups will get your fandom's attention." She rubbed her temples before adding, "I am not saying you have to pick one. I'm just showing the scripts to you and making all the options clear to you. Even if you end up not choosing any script, it doesn't matter."

??Hyson didn't say anything. He took the scripts but his eyes were still on Li Xinxin. "Sister Xin, you had to call me to a bar for this?"

??"Not a very good place for a meeting, eh?" she responded and laughed at herself. "I must have momentarily lost my mind. You don't even like drinking. Why did I call you out here?"

??"Maybe because you wanted someone to accompany you for a couple of drinks?" he suggested. "You look very lonely right now."

??Li Xinxin stiffened when she heard his blunt words. She looked very lonely. What a surprise! She felt very lonely as well right now. She turned her eyes to Hyson and wondered how this guy figured out such things so easily.

??"Sometimes, you shouldn't be so honest, Hyson," she said to him. "It hurts more when you point out the things people are running from."

??Hyson looked at her carefully and asked, "What's wrong, Sister Xin? You don't seem like someone who'd drink at this time of the day without a reason."

??"I had a fight with my boyfriend, is this reason good enough for you?" she asked.

??Hyson paused and pursed his lips, "Oh, I didn't even know you had a boyfriend. But yes, you're right. This reason is definitely good enough."

??"Oh my gosh! Can you be any more insincere?" she gaped at him in disbelief. "At least try to sound less perfunctory when you say that."

??Hyson cleared his throat saying, "Sorry. I just think no reason is good enough to drink. But that's just my opinion. You can totally ignore me." He took a pause and added, "To show my sincerity, I'll sit here with you and you drink as much as you want. Don't worry about anything. I'll drop you off at your place."

??She suddenly pinched his cheek and said, "Why are you so adorable?"

??"When I look in the mirror, I ask myself the same question," was Hyson's response which made Li Xinxin laugh out loud.

??Hyson also smiled to himself seeing her laugh and looked towards the bartenders. He called out to the one closest to him and said, "Excuse me, I want a lemonade and just give my sister Xin a refill here." When the bartender before him turned to face him, Hyson was stunned.
