Looking at the message sent by Xin Zixing, Lu Yanhe was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and didn't even know how to reply.
It seemed that both Chen Ziyan and Xin Zixing were very worried that he would do something out of line, and were "reprimanding" him in a joking tone.
Lu Yanhe returned to the room and took a shower first.
After taking a shower, I sat by the window, enjoying the cool night breeze, turned on my phone and replied to messages.
There are many messages to reply to.
Lu Yanhe also didn't expect that as his number of friends increased, many messages would appear on his phone if he didn't check it for a while.
Someone would forward him some funny videos.
Some people just say hello.
Someone would ask about his time and discuss whether he would have time to cooperate later.
There are all kinds of content.
Lu Yanhe replied one by one, and then saw that two hours ago, Chen Siqi sent him the design draft of "Jump Up", including the cover and inner pages, made into a PDF file.
Lu Yanhe was suddenly surprised and quickly opened the file.
-
Chen Siqi dried her hair and glanced at her phone.
It's been two hours and Lu Yanhe still hasn't replied.
Is the recording not finished yet?
Chen Siqi frowned slightly.
She sat down on the bed, picked up the printed draft, and decided to read it through again.
Chen Siqi is also a little nervous now, excited and nervous.
To be precise, every step in making "Jump Up" has this thrilling excitement - I feel excited when I think that the work has moved one step forward and is a little closer to the final completion.
Until now, Chen Siqi still has a sense of unreality.
She's actually making a magazine book?!
Unbelievable.
At this moment, the phone suddenly vibrated.
It was Lu Yanhe who replied! Chen Siqi immediately took the phone and, as expected, it was Lu Yanhe's feedback.
I have no problem with the overall design; it's a beautiful book, but could the font be a bit larger? It feels a bit small. But that might be because I'm reading it on my phone, so I find it difficult to read.
Chen Siqi said: The font is indeed a bit small. I have already told Yilong about this. She personally prefers a smaller font, so it was made like this.
Chen Siqi asked: Have you finished recording?
Lu Yanhe: I’ve finished recording, just finished taking a shower, and am drying my hair. How about you?
Chen Siqi: Me too, I just dried my hair.
Lu Yanhe: Is your father still forcing you to repeat the year?
Chen Siqi: They haven’t talked to me about this matter in the past few days. Going crazy is still useful. Liu Wei'an hasn’t bothered me much in the past few days.
Lu Yanhe sat by the window and paused typing when he saw the message sent by Chen Siqi.
Although Chen Siqi said this in a smug tone, Lu Yanhe felt a little sad. If Chen Siqi hadn't been pushed to a certain point, why would she have to go crazy in order to keep the university she wanted to go to?
Lu Yanhe had once wondered if Chen Siqi harbored inherent hostility toward Liu Wei'an, a reaction to her hostility like a hedgehog, even exaggerating and interpreting many of her actions and words. But at that moment, Lu Yanhe felt that even if Chen Siqi was irrational and subjective, he would still stand firmly by her side. Because Chen Siqi had never intended to hurt them; she simply wanted to escape from them. If an adult couldn't even realize such a thought, then what difference did her situation make?
Lu Yanhe said: When you come to Jiangguang to go to college, you can come to Jiangzhi. It is really worth visiting here.
Chen Siqi asked: If you have time, come with me. Once you have been there, you will definitely know where the fun things to do and the delicious food are.
Lu Yanhe agreed.
Seeing Lu Yanhe reply with a "good" so readily, Chen Siqi laughed.
-
The next day, Lu Yanhe opened his eyes early in the morning to the sound of the alarm clock.
He turned off the alarm clock and turned over in bed, unable to get up.
Want to continue sleeping.
After struggling for a minute, Lu Yanhe finally climbed up from the bed.
Although I am really tired, I have to get up.
The play "Phoenix Terrace" required him to play a young guard, who had to have the heroic temperament of years of martial arts training.
He is not practicing martial arts now, but at least he should be similar in body shape and skin color.
Lu Yanhe changed into running shoes and sportswear and went out.
Chen Liang and his team are already working downstairs.
Lu Yanhe saw them, waved and shouted good morning.
What Lu Yanhe didn't expect was that after Chen Liang and the others saw him, they said good morning and then got on a small electric scooter.
Xiao Mei was responsible for driving the electric scooter, while Chen Liang sat in the back carrying the camera, facing Lu Yanhe.
"What are you doing?" Lu Yanhe asked in surprise.
Chen Liang said, "I want to take a picture of you jogging in the morning."
"What?" Lu Yanhe looked at them in shock.
This was not in the shooting plan.
Chen Liang said: "That's what Director Xin instructed."
Director Xin sounded sarcastic.
Lu Yanhe was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Okay."
So, Lu Yanhe ran in front, and Xiao Mei and the others followed slowly behind.
Just because someone was following him, Lu Yanhe felt that his running was awkward.
I felt very uncomfortable and like I was putting on a show.
He didn't like running in the first place. When he ran, he felt like a dog out of breath, and he probably didn't look very good.
Lu Yanhe stopped panting, his hands on his knees, looked at them, and said, "Let's discuss this. Can you please stop taking pictures of me like this? Later, take a picture of me running more relaxed and comfortable, and make me look more handsome."
Chen Liang and Xiao Mei both laughed.
Chen Liang said, "We don't have the final say on this. We have to ask Director Xin."
Lu Yanhe curled his lips helplessly.
-
When he finished running and returned to the inn, he heard Lin Miaomiao's voice as soon as he entered the door: "Lu Yanhe, you are finally back!"
Lu Yanhe looked up and saw Lin Miaomiao standing neatly in the corridor on the second floor, waving at him with a bright smile on her face.
Lu Yanhe didn't have the energy to respond to her at the moment - he was fully aware of how incompetent he was.
After running three kilometers, I was out of breath and my calves were numb.
He waved his hand and said, "I'll go first."
Lin Miaomiao nodded and said, "I'll wait for you."
-
On the side, Chen Liang and Xiao Mei looked at each other.
Chen Liang asked: "Are they in love?"
Xiao Mei: "It looks like it, very sweet."
"But I heard that Lu Yanhe is dating that girl who works on the magazine with him, right?"
"Ah? Isn't that a scandal? It has been clarified." Xiao Mei looked puzzled.
Chen Liang shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's none of my business."
Xiao Mei rubbed her chin with one hand for a while, with suspicion in her eyes.
-
Lu Yanhe took a shower and went out to have breakfast with Lin Miaomiao.
He greeted Xin Zixing and said, "Let's not shoot this for now, shall we?"
Lin Miaomiao is not an artist and her identity is sensitive, so he does not want Lin Miaomiao to appear on the show.
Xin Zixing yawned and said, "Okay, don't worry, I'll delete Lin Miaomiao from the film later."
"Delete?" Lin Miaomiao looked at them puzzledly, "Why did you delete me?"
"Would you like to appear on the show?" Lu Yanhe asked in surprise.
"Of course I do. Why not?" Lin Miaomiao said, "It's not like I didn't know you were coming to record the show. If I didn't film because I couldn't be on the show, I'd be disturbing your work. I'm not that stingy."
Lu Yanhe could only pull Lin Miaomiao aside and whispered, "After you appear on camera, many people might discuss you and inquire about your identity. Maybe then the fact that your father is Lin Desheng will be exposed."
"What does it matter? The fact that my father is Lin Desheng is nothing to be ashamed of." Lin Miaomiao smiled proudly, "Let's go, take me to eat something delicious."
Lin Miaomiao looked like she didn't care at all. Seeing this, Lu Yanhe didn't say anything more and took her away.
Chen Liang and the others still followed.
Lin Miaomiao looked around in surprise and said, "I didn't notice when I came here last night. Why are there so many ancient buildings here? They all look very old."
Lu Yanhe said: "Because this city has a long history and is relatively remote, a lot of it has been preserved."
Lin Miaomiao said longingly: "If I had known earlier, I would have bought a set of Hanfu. It must be very nice to take pictures here."
Lu Yanhe was a little surprised and asked, "Are you a Hanfu fan?"
"Me? I'm not. I just like taking pictures." Lin Miaomiao said, "I like any picture that looks good on me."
-
Xiao Mei followed Xin Zixing and saw the two of them talking and laughing.
She whispered to Xin Zixing, "Sister Zixing, are they in a relationship?"
Xin Zixing glanced at her and said, "How would I know that?"
"Brother Liang told me this morning that Lu Yanhe is also having an affair with that girl he works with on magazines and books." Xiao Mei said curiously, "I'm a little confused. Who is he dating?"
Xin Zixing: "Since it's not public, it means they don't want to talk about it. Why do you care about it? The artist's private affairs have nothing to do with us. We just need to film the show well."
Xiao Mei smiled and said, "I'm just worried that Lu Yanhe will play both sides and end up losing his reputation, causing our show to be blocked. So many celebrities are losing their reputations right now."
Xin Zixing frowned slightly and said, "This isn't something you should be worrying about right now. If you discuss something that doesn't exist, if others hear it, it will become a rumor that everyone will just spread."
Xin Zixing's expression was somewhat stern. Seeing this, Xiao Mei stuck out her tongue and immediately shut up.
Normally, Xin Zixiong is not a very strict person. When she frowns, it is best to bow your head and admit your mistake.
However, this matter still made Xiao Mei feel itchy - she was a person who loved gossip and wanted to dig out secrets. Xiao Mei always felt that she was suitable for being an entertainment reporter and paparazzi. This was her hobby.
-
The recording lasted until the evening the next day because Lu Yanhe had to catch a flight at 11:30 pm. As soon as he finished recording, he hurriedly got in the car and rushed to the airport.
Xin Zixing and the others were not in such a hurry and planned to continue shooting some materials here for the next two days before leaving.
So, in the end, Lin Miaomiao followed Lu Yanhe to the airport alone.
"Have you bought a ticket for that flight?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Lin Miaomiao nodded and said, "I've bought it."
Lu Yanhe said, "Why do you have to go back with me so late at night? It will probably be three or four in the morning by the time we get home."
"It's not safe for me to stay there alone." Lin Miaomiao pouted and said, "I might as well go back with you."
Lu Yanhe: "You...went to Baichuan alone. Why weren't you worried about your own safety at that time?"
Lin Miaomiao said: "I have bodyguards following me in Baichuan, so I'm not worried."
"Then why don't you come to Jiangzhi with your bodyguards?"
"Aren't you here?" Lin Miaomiao said righteously.
-
Sometimes, Lu Yanhe wondered if he was deceiving himself.
It was obvious that Lin Miaomiao was interested in him, right? He wasn't stupid, not an emotional idiot who couldn't sense other people's feelings.
But Lin Miaomiao's attitude made Lu Yanhe not know how to react.
Should I just say stupidly, "I'm sorry, I already have a girl I like, we're not suitable to be friends"?
Well, that's exactly what we should do.
But that's so stupid.
People have said they just want to be friends with you, but you still have to do this to appear particularly noble.
But if he pretended not to know, Lu Yanhe would feel that he was a scumbag and would feel guilty from time to time.
For Lu Yanhe, he really couldn't feel at ease knowing that a girl liked him while pretending not to know it and continuing to be friends with her seriously.
-
The airport is still busy in the early morning.
Lu Yanhe and Lin Miaomiao passed by the corridor bridge and saw through the window that there were still several planes moving slowly outside.
It was already past two in the morning, almost three.
Lu Yanhe and Lin Miaomiao walked out of the airport with their suitcases.
Lin Miaomiao had a driver to pick her up.
Lin Miaomiao said, "Come with me to the car. I'll ask the driver to take you back first."
"It's late at night, don't bother your driver. I'll take a taxi back myself." Lu Yanhe said.
After hearing this, Lin Miaomiao was somewhat reluctant but did not let Lu Yanhe get into her car.
"Then I'm leaving." She waved her hand. "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I see you're worried that I'm falling in love with you, right?"
Lu Yanhe looked at Lin Miaomiao in shock, not even trying to hide it.
He never expected that Lin Miaomiao was so perceptive. She could see through his dilemma at a glance.
Lin Miaomiao put her hands behind her back, looked at him and said, "Don't worry, I will never fall in love with you!"
After she finished speaking, she smiled brightly, waved to Lu Yanhe, and left.
Lu Yanhe was stunned. Before he could react, Lin Miaomiao turned around briskly and walked towards the exit.
-
Lu Yanhe didn't arrive at the dormitory until around four in the morning.
Too tired.
He tiredly carried the suitcase into the room. He was sweating and really didn't want to take a shower. He wanted to just lie down on the bed and fall asleep, but after struggling for a while, he still took a shower.
Luckily it was summer, so taking a shower was quick and convenient.
While I was taking a shower, someone suddenly asked at the door, "Lao Lu? Are you back?"
It was Li Zhibai's voice.
"Um."
"Oh." Li Zhibai responded and left again.
I don’t know if he got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.
Lu Yanhe finished washing up in no time and went out. He saw the lights in the living room were on and Li Zhibai was lying on the sofa.
"Are you going to the bathroom? I'm done."
Li Zhibai opened his eyes, glanced at Lu Yanhe, and nodded, "You're back late enough."
"Yeah." Lu Yanhe nodded.
Li Zhibai yawned and went to the bathroom.
Lu Yanhe returned to his room.
My hair is still wet and I can't sleep.
He didn't use a hair dryer because he was afraid of disturbing Li Zhibai, Yan Liang and others' sleep.
Since my hair is short, just let it dry naturally.
He sat on the bed and picked up a book to read.
I don't know when I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
-
When he woke up the next day, Lu Yanhe saw the bright sunshine outside the window. Because the curtains were not drawn, the sunshine shone straight onto his body and face.
If the air conditioner wasn't on in the room, I would have woken up from the heat long ago.
Lu Yanhe stretched his arms and thighs and climbed out of bed.
People are still a little confused.
My eyes were blurry.
Lu Yanhe heard the voices of Li Zhibai and Yan Liang talking in the living room, but he couldn't hear what they were saying clearly.
He picked up his phone and wanted to check the time, but found that he had forgotten to charge it before going to bed yesterday, and the phone had automatically turned off due to lack of power.
He had to quickly charge his phone.
Walking out of the room, Lu Yanhe came to the living room and first glanced at the wall clock.
"Ah, it's almost twelve o'clock."
Yan Liang asked, "What time did you arrive yesterday?"
"Around four o'clock." Lu Yanhe said and yawned again, "I'm so sleepy."
Yan Liang said, "You and Lin Miaomiao were photographed at the airport and posted online."
"ah?"
"Many people suspect that you are in love with her." Yan Liang shook his phone.
"Do all netizens know Lin Miaomiao?"
"Of course, Lin Miaomiao has accompanied her father to many occasions, and many media outlets know her," Yan Liang said.
Although Lu Yanhe was a little surprised, he didn't know whether it was because he had just woken up or what, he was not particularly shocked, and he didn't even feel like he was "startled awake".
He went over and sat down next to Yan Liang. "Lend me your phone. I forgot to charge it yesterday and it turned off automatically."
Yan Liang directly handed the phone to Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe took a look.
Fortunately, it didn’t become a hot topic, just some people were talking about it.
Lu Yanhe brushed his teeth, reacted, nodded, and said, "It's okay, not as violent as I imagined."
Yan Liang: "That's because this matter was discovered as soon as it fermented. Sister Zi Yan is handling it and suppressing the heat."
"ah?"
Yan Liang said, "Sister Zi Yan probably didn't get through to you, so she called me. Knowing you were sleeping, she told me not to wake you up and to just let you know when you woke up."
Lu Yanhe's eyes suddenly widened.
He immediately said, "Then I have to call Sister Zi Yan back."
Li Zhibai put down his phone and said, "Don't rush to call her back. First, tell me, what do you want to eat for lunch? Should we order takeout or go out to eat?"
Lu Yanhe shook his head. "If you don't want to go out, order takeout."
Li Zhibai: "What to eat?"
"Whatever."
Yan Liang: "I don't mind either."
Li Zhibai thought for a moment and said, "Then let's order some roast duck and a pizza."
Lu Yanhe became greedy after hearing this.
"good."
After deciding what to eat for lunch, Lu Yanhe went to the room to get his cell phone to call Chen Ziyan.
The phone finally turned on.
I took a look and saw two missed calls from Sister Zi Yan and a bunch of unread messages.
Lu Yanhe called Chen Ziyan first.
"Sister Zi Yan, I'm sorry, I was sleeping and just woke up."
"It's okay. You didn't go to bed until four or five in the morning yesterday, right?"
"Um."
"Someone photographed you and Lin Miaomiao leaving the airport together in the early morning, saying you two went out on a date." Chen Ziyan's tone seemed to find this statement a little funny. "I've been dealing with this matter of yours. Fortunately, it involves Lin Miaomiao, and Northern Lights Video has also put in a lot of effort, and the hype has basically been reduced."
"I didn't expect that someone would still be taking pictures so late."
"It's a media-centric world these days. With a phone in hand, you can take photos and videos at any time," Chen Ziyan said. "And as a celebrity, it's normal to be photographed. Whenever you go out, you have to be prepared to be photographed. You can even be secretly photographed at home."
Lu Yanhe asked, "I'll pay attention next time. It was me who didn't pay attention."
"There's no need to be overly cautious. Just because you and Lin Miaomiao were photographed this time is fine. It's not like you really have a relationship that's not meant to be seen in public," Chen Ziyan said. "Just remember not to be photographed at crucial moments."
Lu Yanhe didn't know for a moment when the critical moment Chen Ziyan was referring to was.
Chen Ziyan said, "However, you and Lin Miaomiao have been trending on the Internet this time, and people are suspecting that you two are in a relationship. Miss Chen must be unhappy when she sees the news. Didn't she contact you?"
Miss Chen?
It took Lu Yanhe a while to realize that the Miss Chen Chen Ziyan was referring to was Chen Siqi.
Lu Yanhe was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "I just turned on my phone. I forgot to charge it, so it automatically turned off."
Chen Ziyan: "Alright, let's stop here. You should go and comfort your Miss Chen first, so that there won't be any more trouble."
Lu Yanhe's cheeks turned red.
-
Lu Yanhe hung up the phone and logged into the social software. He found that Chen Siqi had not sent him any message. Instead, Huang Kairen and others were curiously asking whether the news was true or false.
Lu Yanhe replied and explained one by one, then clicked on Chen Siqi's profile picture. He was silent and hesitant for a moment, and also wanted to know why she didn't react at all?
Haven’t you seen the news online yet?
It's possible.
This matter was not very popular and was suppressed.
But how is that possible?
Lu Yanhe saw that some people in his class group were discussing this matter and were still asking who Lin Miaomiao was.
Even Li Pengfei asked him an hour ago: Are you falling in love with someone else?
Lu Yanhe typed back: Get out, get out, get out.
The three words "get out" are not enough to express his feelings at this moment.
Li Pengfei replied almost immediately: You finally showed up.
Lu Yanhe: I arrived at the dormitory at four o'clock in the morning yesterday and just woke up. I didn't expect that rumors about me would appear on the Internet again.
Li Pengfei: Who is that girl?
Lu Yanhe said: A friend, whom I met at work before. I was recording "City Travel Notes" in Jiangzhi yesterday. She was meeting a friend nearby and came to find me. We just took the same flight back to Yuming.
Li Pengfei: So that’s how it is.
Lu Yanhe: Do you really think I've fallen in love with someone else?
Li Pengfei: Mainly because Chen Siqi asked me for help early this morning, and I was accompanying her to look at paper in the printing factory.
Lu Yanhe was stunned: Look at the paper?
Li Pengfei: Yes, she was choosing the paper type for the physical copy of "Jump Up." She hadn't acted unusually the entire morning, and I thought she hadn't seen the online news. But when I asked, it turned out she already knew about it. She said she knew that woman. Are you that awesome? You actually introduced them to each other?
Lu Yanhe: No, I just mentioned her to Chen Siqi.
Li Pengfei: You'd better explain to Chen Siqi. Although she didn't react at all, I always felt that something was wrong with her. She seemed a little sulky.
Lu Yanhe just felt embarrassed, had a headache, and even wanted to sigh.
He hesitated and asked, "Is she with you?"
"Her? She's in front." Li Pengfei said, "Three meters away from me."
Lu Yanhe: "I see. Is she free now?"
"We're waiting for someone to bring us a new batch of paper. We're free now," Li Pengfei said. "If you want to call her, hurry up. I think she'll be back soon."
Lu Yanhe nodded and hung up the phone.
After a little hesitation, Lu Yanhe called Chen Siqi.
But Chen Siqi hung up directly.
After a while, Chen Siqi replied with three words: At the printing factory.
Lu Yanhe was not sure whether Chen Siqi was really angry, so he asked: Are you angry?
Chen Siqi: Why am I angry?
Lu Yanhe scratched his head, hissed, and said: It’s the rumor on the Internet.
Chen Siqi: Everyone knows it's a rumor, why would I still be angry? Is Li Pengfei exaggerating again?
Lu Yanhe: No, not really.
Lu Yanhe actually wanted to say something more, but he really couldn't say anything.
He and Chen Siqi haven't even broken the window paper yet.
Chen Siqi: I need to choose the paper first, so I won’t talk to you anymore. We can talk when we meet later.
Lu Yanhe was silent.
He was very sure that Chen Siqi was angry and something was wrong.
Lu Yanhe scratched his head and sent a message to Li Pengfei, asking: "Where are you? Send me the address."
Li Pengfei immediately sent a location.
Lu Yanhe looked at his phone and saw that it was only charged to 12%.
He immediately called an online taxi, which arrived ten minutes later.
"Li Zhibai, Yan Liang, I don't want to eat anymore. I have to go out for a while!" Lu Yanhe waited until his phone was charged to 17%, unplugged the charger, and hurried out.
Li Zhibai and Yan Liang looked at each other and asked, "Why did he suddenly go out again?" (End of this chapter)
