The news that Lu Yanhe was going to hold a birthday party was more popular than Chen Ziyan had imagined.
Popular means that many people heard the news and wanted to ask her for an invitation.
In the entertainment industry, private parties are often more common, while larger gatherings are rare. This means that many circles are actually quite private, and many people who want to enter need someone to lead them, a guide. Without this, no matter how hard you try, you won't be accepted into that circle.
People often use the word "connections" to describe a person's ability. But for Chen Ziyan, "connections" are not abilities, but resources. Ability is about managing the relationships between different connections and whether you can get these people to provide assistance at critical moments.
Chen Ziyan knows a lot of people. After so many years in the entertainment industry, agent is her public identity, and under this identity, she has many other identities.
Anyone who's even vaguely familiar with Chen Ziyan knows she's never short of money—and there's a difference between "never short of money" and "very rich." While others may not know whether Chen Ziyan is "very rich," many know she's definitely "never short of money." This is because, as many know, Chen Ziyan controls the flow of a significant amount of money.
A lot of this money is not just her own.
So, when Lu Yanhe wanted to hold a birthday party and Chen Ziyan personally took charge of it, the signal conveyed by this incident suddenly had multiple layers of meaning.
For ordinary celebrity artists, what they hear is "Many big names in the industry will be there, including Director Luo Yuzhong, Director Chen Lingling..."
This is a rare occasion for already famous celebrities and artists, "basically all the first-line actors have received invitations."
For some film and television industry professionals, this is a star-studded event. "Several of the current popular actors will be there, including Jiang Yuqian, Li Zhibai, Huang Kairen, Chen Bige, and many more!"
Chen Ziyan remained noncommittal about the rumors, neither admitting nor denying them.
She was making her list carefully.
Lu Yanhe has people he wants to invite, and she has people she wants to invite.
There is not only one in the backfield, there is also one on Chen Ziyan's side.
Why did Chen Ziyan host such a birthday party for Lu Yanhe? She had her own reasons. Two years after returning to the entertainment industry, she had lived up to expectations and brought forth a rising star like Lu Yanhe. Many people recalled her dominance in the entertainment industry.
Now, the Star Awards are moving forward without stopping, and "Idol Era" has been confirmed to start its first recording in October.
At this time, Chen Ziyan needs a grand appearance, and needs a lot of big names and celebrities to support her, to tell all those who are eyeing this piece of fat to put away their greedy eyes, and also to send a signal to all those who support her and provide help to her that she is still at the top.

When Lu Yanhe handed the invitation letter to Mao Jiayang and the others, they were all stunned.
"Is it so serious? There's even an invitation letter?" Mao Jiayang asked in surprise.
Lu Yanhe said, "I accidentally made a big mistake."
"Big?" Mao Jiayang was even more shocked. "How big?"
"It seems like hundreds of people are coming?" Lu Yanhe said.
Zhou Mukai was even surprised.
Lu Yanhe said, "However, we have a small room of our own, so we can eat in the small room when the time comes. Here are the blue bracelets. Put them on and you can enter the small room. There will only be a few of us and a few of my other friends in the small room, so I'll introduce you to them."
Xiao Jing asked: "Is Jiang Yuqian in the small room?"
"I'm sorry to disappoint you. Sister Yuqian has work and can't come." Lu Yanhe said.
Xiao Jing: "...Alas."
Lu Yanhe: "You are so obsessed with Sister Yuqian, does your girlfriend mind?"
Xiao Jing shook his head and said, "She doesn't mind. She said that my liking Jiang Yuqian is like a toad liking a swan, and a swan would only find it disgusting."
Lu Yanhe was so choked by Xiao Jing's words that he couldn't utter a word.
Strong.
One dares to speak, the other dares to remember and repeat it, both have strong hearts.
Lu Yanhe scratched his head and said, "It's mainly because my agent said that I've never hosted a party to invite everyone I've worked with before to get together, so this is a good excuse to host a party."
Mao Jiayang's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked, "Do we still need to change into dresses?"
"Dress?" Xiao Jing looked bewildered. "What dress?"
"Country bumpkin." Mao Jiayang glanced sideways. "Haven't you seen that kind of dinner party in movies or TV shows?"
"It's not that kind of thing." Lu Yanhe explained.
Xiao Jing sneered, "I want to see how fashionable you can be."
Lu Yanhe: "Wait, there's no need, there's really no need. You don't need to wear a formal dress. Don't make it so formal. Even though it's a party, no one would dress like they do for a fancy dinner in movies or TV shows. It's just a birthday party, not a royal banquet."
Mao Jiayang sighed instantly, a little disappointed, "I thought I would finally have a chance to dress like that."
Lu Yanhe: "You will have many opportunities like this in the future, don't worry."
Xiao Jing: "It's no use dressing like that. You need to get a beauty treatment first."
Mao Jiayang: "Is this handsome guy from Southwest China handsome enough for you to appreciate? Hurry up and make an appointment at the ophthalmology department."
Lu Yanhe silently held his forehead, sighed, turned around and left.
-
Lu Yanhe’s only high school classmate in Yuming is Linyu. If Linyu is allowed to sit in the backstage, she won’t know the others, and the other girls are the girlfriends brought by Mao Jiayang and others... Maybe Linyu knows Miao Yue?
Miao Yue had also published an article on Jump Up. Lin Yu must know her, right? Not necessarily. Lu Yanhe thought for a moment and sent a message to Chen Siqi: "How about you come back?"
Chen Siqi:?
Lu Yanhe said: I find birthday parties really troublesome.
Chen Siqi:?
Lu Yanhe said: There are a lot of people, several groups of friends, and I need you to help me entertain them.
Chen Siqi: …
Lu Yanhe: Do you have time?
Chen Siqi: Do you think I won’t come to your birthday party?
Lu Yanhe was stunned.
Chen Siqi: 【A kitchen knife】
Lu Yanhe: I thought you were in Jiangguang. It’s a rare occasion for you to come back.
Chen Siqi: It’s rare for me to come back, but I’ve been back many times, right?
Lu Yanhe: When will you arrive? I'll pick you up.
Chen Siqi: No need, I can just take a taxi and come here.
Lu Yanhe: Are you angry?
Chen Siqi: No.
Lu Yanhe: I'm sorry, I was wrong.
Only then did Chen Siqi send him a screenshot of her flight ticket order.
-
Lu Yanhe had never asked Chen Siqi whether she would come, because he assumed that Chen Siqi could not come - it was so far away, it was just a birthday, there was no need to make a fuss.
But in Chen Siqi's opinion, this is obviously not the case.
Lu Yanhe had just put down his phone when it rang again.
He thought it was Chen Siqi who sent another message, but it turned out to be Lin Miaomiao: "You're having a birthday party? Why didn't you send me an invitation?"
Lu Yanhe took a breath of cold air.
-
Li Pengfei complained: It’s what he deserves!
Lu Yanhe: I'm not here to complain to you.
Li Pengfei: Who told you to be so indecisive?
Lu Yanhe: I have never been with her!
Li Pengfei: Since you know that she has a good impression of you, why don’t you keep your distance? Who can you blame?
Lu Yanhe: How else can I keep my distance?
Li Pengfei: Delete her contact information.
Lu Yanhe: Huh?
Li Pengfei: This is the most straightforward and efficient way.
Lu Yanhe thought about it seriously and decided that maybe this was really the way to go.
Li Pengfei's words gave Lu Yanhe a reminder.
He thought about it and replied to Lin Miaomiao seriously: Sorry, I can’t send you an invitation letter.
Lin Miaomiao: Why?
Lu Yanhe: Because my girlfriend will be jealous.
Lin Miaomiao:?
Lin Miaomiao: Haha.
After hearing about Lu Yanhe's operation, Li Pengfei was stunned and said: Wow, this is a cool operation.
Lu Yanhe: I was inspired by you.
Li Pengfei: Huh? Me? Then I'm not as sexy as you.
Lu Yanhe: ...
-
Lin Miaomiao was very angry.
Lu Yanhe's attitude made her angry.
She had never actually said that she had been a fan of Lu Yanhe for a long time. To be more precise, she had been a fan of him since he was fifteen years old and appeared on a talent show. That was why she had gone to "Little Song Gathering" specifically when they asked him to record the show.
Does she like Lu Yanhe?
She didn't think so. She just liked Lu Yanhe as an idol, not as a real boy.
At least, that's what Lin Miaomiao has always thought.
"I told him that I don't like him! But he still said that. Isn't he going too far?" Lin Miaomiao said angrily to her friend on the phone.
But her friend didn't agree with her as usual. Instead, she asked, "Miaomiao, are you sure you really don't like him?"
"I just like him as an idol. You know, I've liked him since he debuted at the age of fifteen."
"But there was no news about him for several years. Maybe when you were fourteen you liked him as your idol, but now you like him after you get to know him," said the friend.
Lin Miaomiao was silent for a moment and did not deny or refute anymore.
She herself was in a daze.
Maybe my friend is right.
My friend said, "When you liked Lu Yanhe back then, I didn't know what you liked about him. Besides his good looks, he wasn't good in any other way. He was gloomy and timid, without any charm. And now you say you don't like Lu Yanhe, I don't know why you don't like him. Almost everyone doesn't like him, except for those with unique aesthetic tastes."
It was as if a sharp arrow shot from the sky and hit her heart.
A critical hit.
-
Lu Yanhe is almost twenty years old.
Finally stepping into his twenties from his teens, Lu Yanhe couldn't describe how he felt.
Is he more mature than when he first arrived? Lu Yanhe didn't know. He wasn't the type to sum up how much he had gained and how much he had grown.
To sum up the past two years, he could only say that he had tried his best.
Others called him a genius—of course, they only spoke of his acting talent. But Lu Yanhe never considered himself a genius. He always used clumsy methods to study, perform, and do other things. This clumsy method always made him feel awkward and awkward, and he never felt the ease and grace of doing anything.
Preparing for the birthday party was a constant reminder to him that he was turning twenty.
Lu Yanhe couldn't help but wonder, if he traveled back in time when he was forty or fifty years old, maybe it would be a different feeling?
For him, except for his senior year of high school, every year after that was new, equally unknown, and required him to go through and experience it himself.
He has neither the confidence to live a wasteful life nor the capital to enjoy life.
Sometimes I think that this time travel is really inappropriate.
But then I think, when is the best time to travel through time? Except before death, probably not at all. Traveling through time before death would mean living another life, which is pretty good too, essentially extending your lifespan.
Lu Yanhe was just thinking about all sorts of things.
He didn't even realize that someone in the live broadcast room was mocking him in the comments, saying: So the so-called ability to read for seven or eight hours a day, is this how you spend it in a daze?
Of course, this person's remarks were quickly criticized.
——If you have the ability, go sit at your desk and stare blankly for seven or eight hours. If you can persist, I will admire you.
Lu Yanhe was in a daze for about half an hour before he came to his senses, turned his neck, and continued reading and taking notes.
He has already chosen his sophomore courses. Since he will be filming "Late Spring" next semester and has no other filming plans this semester, he has chosen a lot of courses for himself.
The result of this is that there are more books to read.
However, Lu Yanhe felt that this was a good idea. He could complete the credits as soon as possible, and the pressure in the next few semesters would be much less.
It was around seven o'clock in the evening when Li Zhibai came back.
"Old Lu, let's go!"
He put the suitcase by the door and shouted outside.
Because he was alone, Lu Yanhe did not turn off the microphone in the live broadcast room. As a result, Li Zhibai's voice scared everyone.
Lu Yanhe replied "OK" and said to the people in the live broadcast room: "Li Zhibai and I are going out to eat. I'm off the air. Bye."
He didn't even look at everyone's reactions and just closed the live broadcast room.
After live streaming for so long, Lu Yanhe has developed a lot of tacit understanding with everyone, and everyone has become accustomed to his style of doing things. As soon as he says he wants to end the live broadcast, everyone disperses.
-
Li Zhibai just came back from the crew.
The two of them made an appointment in the afternoon to have dinner together in the evening.
So, Lu Yanhe has been waiting for him.
"How's the filming going?" Lu Yanhe asked.
"It's just like that. It's just a makeshift troupe anyway."
"A makeshift team? Isn't he a very good director?" Lu Yanhe said.
"The director is okay, but the crew is a huge hassle. Every day is filled with all sorts of problems. You can't even imagine it. I don't know how our crew coordinator managed to survive," Li Zhibai said. "You might find it hard to imagine, but we always have to schedule the next day's scenes the night before because you never know which actors will be on set until the night before."
Lu Yanhe asked in surprise: "Huh?"
Li Zhibai: "For a big Xianxia drama, we have to have an all-star cast, and often this person is absent, that person has asked for leave. It's not a big deal if they asked for leave, but there are a few people who leave without asking for leave, and just leave without saying goodbye. Even the co-ordinator doesn't know they're gone, and only realizes they're not on the set when we're rehearsing their scenes."
Only then did Lu Yanhe understand why Li Zhibai used the word "makeshift troupe" to describe this crew.
"That's a bit exaggerated." Lu Yanhe said.
Li Zhibai: "It's more than a bit exaggerated. The fact that I stay on the set every day has moved the coordinator to tears. If I did the same, the crew would probably be completely blanked."
Lu Yanhe asked, "Then the filming of your drama wasn't going smoothly?"
"It's not so bad. I feel like everyone's used to this style. Apart from the coordinator, I see no reaction from anyone else. The director seems used to it, and so do the other actors." Li Zhibai said, "Since no one has any objections, I don't have any objections either. If I were in a normal mood, I would have cursed people out, but now I'm too lazy to do it. Why should I be the bad guy? The filming has been postponed anyway, and the ones who have to pay more are the silent producers."
Lu Yanhe nodded. "Then you really should not lose your temper. Even though you're the male lead, there are so many other actors in the play. Since this behavior has become a common practice, you're the odd one out. If you lose your temper, everyone will gang up on you."
"That's exactly what happened, so I didn't say a word." Li Zhibai smiled at this. "Come to think of it, because of this, I read two books on the set. Didn't you say before that Nian Jin's 'Eight Difficulties' and 'The Image of Guanyin' were both very interesting? I finished reading both books. It's strange to say, but when you asked me to read a book while resting in the hotel, I couldn't concentrate at all. But when I was on the set, there was really no problem at all. Even when asked to play games on the set, I wasn't in the mood for that. On the contrary, reading was very exciting. Tsk tsk, if I had known this would happen, I should have moved my desk to the set when I was in my third year of high school."
Lu Yanhe laughed, "That's a bit exaggerated."
The night is dark.
In September, the heat has subsided.
As night falls, the heat of the sun gradually subsides. At this time, the wind seems warm and a little cool.
Li Zhibai put his hands behind his head, turned to look at Lu Yanhe, and asked, "What about you?"
"Um?"
"What are your plans for future filming?"
"Nothing for now. I was originally going to make a movie called 'Miss Ning', which I was supposed to guest star in. Director He Han, but the female lead he wanted refused to act, so it was put on hold. He's already started writing other scripts." Lu Yanhe said, "The next film I'm going to be in is the literary film 'Late Spring' adapted from my classmate Miao Yue's novel. That won't be until next spring."
Li Zhibai said, "Then you can go to school with peace of mind."
He understands Lu Yanhe very well.
Lu Yanhe also laughed.
"It's different. Sister Zi Yan really wants me to guest-star in various crews to gain experience," he said.
Li Zhibai clicked his tongue, "Different agents have different ideas and approaches."
"ah?"
"Zhou Ping'an wasn't at all happy with me making cameo appearances, let alone playing a supporting role," Li Zhibai said. "You might not know this, but how could you not know this? He's the type of person who won't take any losses. Do you know what he did? He told the crew outside that I could make a cameo appearance, but the pay would be one million yuan for one day and two million yuan for two days."
Lu Yanhe was stunned and looked at Li Zhibai in disbelief.
"Yes, you heard it right. This is what he did." Li Zhibai rolled his eyes speechlessly.
Lu Yanhe: "I thought Zhou Ping'an was at least relatively... normal when it came to your affairs."
"He's normal. He just doesn't want me to do a guest appearance at all. He says those who approach me are just trying to take advantage of my fame," Li Zhibai said. "Of course, he might be right. Nine out of ten people are trying to take advantage of my fame and popularity, but his way of rejecting people is going to be very unpleasant if it gets out."
"Of course, as if you are only interested in profit."
Li Zhibai nodded: "That's exactly it."
Lu Yanhe asked: "Then how did you do it?"
"What did I do?"
"After he did this, you didn't react at all? I don't believe it." Lu Yanhe knew Li Zhibai too well. With his temper, it was impossible for him to just follow Zhou Ping'an's arrangements.
Li Zhibai chuckled and said, "I didn't do anything else. I just went to the crew next door to make a cameo appearance. After I finished my cameo, I told them that I had filmed it myself and didn't take a penny."
"ah?"
"His face turned green with anger."
"You—"
"He can't do anything to me anyway." Li Zhibai looked fearless.
If you think about it carefully, it is true.
Li Zhibai would not be affected by this in any way.
Anyway, Li Zhi has been making mistakes for a long time.
Lu Yanhe couldn't help but sigh: It's really good to have a character who often makes mistakes.
-
If it weren't for a big night show tonight, Yan Liang would have left tonight.
Although Yan Liang had known Lu Yanhe for such a long time, this was the first time he attended Lu Yanhe's birthday party.
Of course, this was also Lu Yanhe’s first birthday party.
It’s also a coincidence that there won’t be any scenes featuring Yan Liang tomorrow.
He was playing a supporting role, so his schedule wasn't that full. Yan Liang had originally planned to ask the crew if there were any adjustments for his scenes tomorrow.
Because it is a supporting role, it is easier to make adjustments during filming.
After the director finally called "cut", Yan Liang prepared to go back.
He went to the bathroom first.
As soon as the class was over, I heard the voices of two girls outside.
He recognized them as soon as he heard them. They were two actresses from the same crew, Li Ziqi and Liu Yun.
When Yan Liang was filming on the crew, he had a pretty good relationship with everyone.
Yan Liang had a smile on his face and was ready to go out and greet them.
Suddenly, Li Ziqi mentioned him: "Yan Liang is gone?"
"He's gone." Liu Jun said, "Isn't he rushing back to attend Lu Yanhe's birthday party?"
"Tsk tsk, the party isn't until tomorrow, why are you in such a hurry to go back today?"
"What is Lu Yanhe's current status? What is his status?" Li Ziqi chuckled.
Yan Liang raised his legs and put them down again, and the smile on his face disappeared.
Liu Jun said, "Li Zhibai and Lu Yanhe from their group are both very famous now, but Yan Liang is the only one who is still so tepid and still playing a supporting role here. Sigh, I don't know how embarrassed he must be."
"Yeah, he usually has a friendly smile on his face every day and tries hard to get along with everyone. I really can't stand this kind of behavior of trying to get along with everyone, especially this kind of personality that doesn't want to offend anyone. Oh, I hate this kind of person the most."
"Well, is it okay for him not to do this? He's not as famous as his two teammates."
"With his nice-guy personality, how could he become famous?"
"A nice guy? That's not necessarily true. He might be pretending. It's simply because he only has the capital to be a nice guy right now."
…
The two actresses washed their hands and left chatting and laughing.
Yan Liang came out of the bathroom after they had left for a while.
He walked to the faucet, turned on the water, and washed his hands. The sound of water was ringing in his ears.
He looked up at the mirror.
He looked pale and his eyes were dull in the mirror.
He even felt a little strange looking at himself.
What the two people said just now was like a knife stabbing into his heart.
He has a good relationship with them normally and they can talk and laugh together on the set, so why do they look at him like this when he's behind his back?
This is the case for these two, but what about the others?
So his behavior was so ridiculous and despicable in their eyes?
Yan Liang turned off the faucet and turned away with a gloomy expression.
Along the way, everyone was chatting and laughing as they greeted him. He forced himself to respond, not wanting to let anyone notice that he was a little off. Someone noticed and asked him what was wrong, but he said he was exhausted from filming and wasn't in the right frame of mind.
No one doubted it.
Until we got on the car and headed to the airport.
He was going to take the latest flight back to Yuming.
In fact, he can also take the flight back tomorrow.
But because he knew that Lu Yanhe and Li Zhibai would be there tonight, he wanted to go back early.
The two of them were still talking about waiting for him to come back and having a midnight snack together.
Yan Liang sat in the car, watching the night rapidly disappearing outside the window, and there was not a single ripple in his heart.
Of course, he also knew that he was the worst developed among the three.
But he never took it seriously. He was a little anxious, but only a little anxious. Before Lu Yanhe became famous, he had also been silent for three years. Yan Liang believed that as long as he persisted, he would also have his own opportunity like Lu Yanhe.
Yan Liang sometimes envied Li Zhibai and Lu Yanhe, but he never really envied them.
Even now.
But Yan Liang now felt a strong sense of inferiority deep in his heart - was he no longer worthy of being their friend?
If he stood with them, would he be ridiculed and looked down upon?
-
Lu Yanhe said to Li Zhibai, "I'm also considering a TV series. It's a sitcom from Beijing and Taiwan, but it's very short, only eight episodes, each twenty minutes long. You should have seen this kind of sitcom, right?"
"I've seen it." Li Zhibai nodded. "Why did you suddenly want to act in a sitcom?"
Lu Yanhe said: "One reason is that I really like the concept of this script, although I haven't seen the complete script yet. The other reason is that I want to write a sitcom myself in the future, and I want to see how sitcoms are filmed."
Li Zhibai understood and nodded, then looked at him in surprise, "You want to write a sitcom script?"
"Um."
"How many stories are in your head?" Li Zhibai asked in disbelief.
Lu Yanhe said: "There are many, many stories, some are just a fragment, some are just a picture, and some are relatively complete stories."
"No wonder others say you are a genius. You really make me jealous." Li Zhibai said.
"What's there to be jealous of? Do you think you'd be jealous of me being a screenwriter?"
"I'm jealous of you because you can succeed in everything you do," said Li Zhibai.
Lu Yanhe: "The script I wrote hasn't been successful yet."
"Will you succeed sooner or later?" Li Zhibai seemed to have no doubt about this. "Whatever you want to do will always succeed. You have the ability to do it."
Lu Yanhe: "Thank you for your blind trust in me."
He finished speaking and sighed softly.
Because he himself does not have such strong confidence.
He didn't know whether the script he wrote could achieve the same level of success in this world as the original, or whether it would just fail miserably.
After all, the script is just the foundation for a film or television work. The director, actors, photographers, and other people will all affect the final presentation of the result.
If the wrong people are involved, a good script can be ruined.
Then why would the script he wrote from memory be successful?
Lu Yanhe has always had this worry.
However, Li Zhibai never seemed to doubt his ability and was so convinced that he would succeed.
Lu Yanhe smiled and said nothing more.
-
That night, Chen Siqi was applying a facial mask on herself when she suddenly received a very strange text message: Are you Chen Siqi?
Since becoming the editor-in-chief of "Jump Up", Chen Siqi has received text messages asking "Are you Chen Siqi?" four or five times, not to mention frequently.
So Chen Siqi ignored it.
It was not until five minutes later that the second message came from this number: I am Lin Miaomiao.
Chen Siqi was suddenly stunned.
ha?
Of course Chen Siqi knew who Lin Miaomiao was.
Lu Yanhe had never hidden anything about Lin Miaomiao from her, even when she and Lu Yanhe were not together at the beginning.
Therefore, Chen Siqi knew very well that Lin Miaomiao must like Lu Yanhe, even though she herself told Lu Yanhe that she had never liked him.
Lu Yanhe might have believed it, but Chen Siqi didn't.
Despite this, Chen Siqi never felt jealous of Lin Miaomiao in front of Lu Yanhe.
First, he knew that Lu Yanhe didn't like Lin Miaomiao and didn't mean that.
Secondly, because of Lin Miaomiao's identity, Chen Siqi didn't want Lu Yanhe to have an unpleasant argument with Lin Miaomiao because of this kind of thing, which would affect Lu Yanhe's development in the entertainment industry.
Chen Siqi had met Lin Miaomiao before, but she didn't have Lin Miaomiao's contact information, so she pretended not to know this person.
Unexpectedly, Lin Miaomiao would take the initiative to appear in her life in such a way.
Chen Siqi picked up the phone, was silent for a few seconds, and replied: I am Chen Siqi, what can I do for you?
Lin Miaomiao: It was you who forbade Lu Yanhe to send me an invitation?
Chen Siqi:?
Lin Miaomiao said: Tomorrow is Lu Yanhe’s birthday party. I asked him why he didn’t send me an invitation. He said that if he invited me, you would be jealous. Are you so petty?
Chen Siqi was stunned.
Lu Yanhe had never told her about this.
Shit? He's actually using her as a shield?!
Chen Siqi narrowed her eyes, but after hesitating for a moment, she replied: Well, I will be jealous and very petty.
After replying, Chen Siqi looked at the phone thoughtfully, actually looking forward to how Lin Miaomiao would reply.
But I don’t know if it was her “frank” words that irritated Lin Miaomiao.
That night, Lin Miaomiao never sent her any more messages.
Before going to bed, Chen Siqi took a look to confirm it, raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.
-
"Let's go and pick up Yan Liang." At 11:30 in the evening, Li Zhibai called Lu Yanhe who was still reading in the room.
Lu Yanhe nodded and followed Li Zhibai out.
"Are you sleepy?"
"It's okay, I'm not sleepy." Lu Yanhe shook his head. "You're the driver, you're not sleepy, right? It's okay if you're not sleepy. If you are sleepy, it's a big deal."
"You underestimate me. I just can't get up in the morning, not go to bed early at night."
Lu Yanhe asked, "Do you also sleep late when filming on the set?"
"It's very late, and we often shoot late-night scenes." Li Zhibai said, "I told you a long time ago, my crew is really bad. Many scenes can't be finished during the day, so they are all moved to the night."
Li Zhibai drove and took Lu Yanhe to the airport.
"Oh, by the way, send him a message and tell him we're here to pick him up. I didn't tell him in advance and forgot."
"Okay." Lu Yanhe suddenly remembered something, "Didn't Zhou Ping'an arrange a car for him?"
Li Zhibai shook his head. "What arrangements are there? They didn't even assign him an assistant, and he's already been filming outside on his own."
"And you?"
"Of course I have," Li Zhibai said. "Then I'll go out to work now. Whenever I go out, I'll have at least four bodyguards to clear the way."
"Such a big event?"
"do not you?"
"I'm fine, no." Lu Yanhe shook his head, "Brother Dong is the only one who takes care of all my affairs."
"Then he has a lot to do. Can he handle it all by himself?"
"I'm not like you, with so many schedules. I'm either on the set or at school, so usually he's enough." Lu Yanhe said, "The other work is usually prepared for me by the counterpart."
"That's true." Li Zhibai nodded. "After all, you're not as famous as me, so you can't understand the troubles I have, being hounded by fans wherever I go."
He was talking about his troubles, but his face was full of pride.
Lu Yanhe curled his lips.
"Just show off."
-
After the plane landed, Yan Liang turned off the flight mode on his phone. After connecting to the Internet, several messages came in.
He glanced at the time and was about to call a ride-hailing car when a message suddenly popped up from Lu Yanhe: Li Zhibai and I are here to pick you up. Please come out from Gate 3.
Yan Liang was stunned.
There were already rustling noises in the cabin, and many people in the back had already started packing up and preparing to leave.
The flight attendant has also come out.
Yan Liang quickly turned his head and looked out the porthole.
Night fell all around.
The wide apron was lit up by dotted yellow street lights.
He raised his hand, wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, took a deep breath, looked down at his phone again, replied with a "OK", and then replied: I just landed, it will take a while.
Lu Yanhe replied: Don’t worry, we still have ten minutes to get there, so there’s plenty of time.
-
At Zhenhua University, several people in Lu Yanhe's dormitory usually went to bed at this time, but none of them fell asleep tonight.
Xiao Jing, the chatterbox, kept asking why Jiang Yuqian wasn't coming tomorrow.
Mao Jiayang was excited about attending a party with so many celebrities, but also a little nervous.
"I don't know if Lu Yanhe's other artist friends are easy to deal with." Xiao Jing suddenly said.
Mao Jiayang was stunned and asked, "Are you nervous?"
"I'm not nervous, but I've seen a lot of people online saying that celebrities have bad tempers and are spoiled by their teams. I'm worried I won't be able to resist scolding them."
Mao Jiayang, sweat dripping from his forehead, said, "Then you'd better be patient and don't embarrass Lu Yanhe."
Xiao Jing sighed and said, "That's right."
Mao Jiayang: "So you guys are not nervous, am I the only one who is a little nervous?"
"What are you nervous about?" Xiao Jing asked.
Mao Jiayang said: "Tomorrow there will be many celebrities, people who are usually only seen in the media."
Xiao Jing said: "So what? I'm still from Zhenhua. If you want to see me, you can only see me in Zhenhua."
Mao Jiayang: “…”
Zhou Mukai: "Your mentality is worth learning from for everyone."
Xiao Jing: "Are you nervous too?"
"I'm not nervous, but it's my first time attending this kind of occasion. I don't know what to do and I'm a little confused," said Zhou Mukai.
Xiao Jing: "Didn't Yan He say that we have an inner court prepared for us? If you feel uncomfortable, just go to the inner court as soon as you enter."
Zhou Mukai: "What about you?"
"Me? Of course I have to go outside and see if the female celebrities in those cameras are really that beautiful."
"Is your girlfriend willing?"
"She wants to see it more than I do." Xiao Jing said.
Mao Jiayang snorted.
"What are you laughing at?"
"I look down on you." Mao Jiayang said.
"Oh?"
"You can actually have eyes for other women besides your girlfriend. I can't stand you."
"Oh."
"Scum."
"How about we come down and fight?" Xiao Jing said in a cold tone.
Mao Jiayang didn't say anything else.

On Lu Yanhe's birthday, he received a lot of birthday wishes.
This moment gave him the illusion that everyone remembered his birthday.
But Lu Yanhe soon figured it out. Of course, that was not the case. It was just because of the birthday party that many people knew about his birthday, so they sent him messages specifically.
Lu Yanhe went to meet Chen Siqi first.
The two of them had lunch at the hotel where the banquet hall was located in the evening.
The hotel manager kindly invited them to stay and asked the chef to cook for them.
It was not until the afternoon that Lu Yanhe discovered that there was actually a professional team on site responsible for welcoming guests and on-site services, and they were not hotel staff.
Chen Ziyan and Lu Qingzhen appeared together.
"Happy birthday, Xiao Lu." Both of them were holding a wrapped gift box in their hands.
Lu Yanhe looked at them in surprise.
"Any gifts?"
Chen Ziyan pointed to a girl with a sweet smile at the door and said, "You should receive a lot of gifts tonight. I have specially arranged for someone to collect the gifts for you and will register them."
Lu Yanhe: "Thank you, Sister Ziyan. I just feel like tonight's scene is a bit overwhelming."
"This is nothing, just a small scene. It will get bigger and bigger in the future." Chen Ziyan smiled slightly.
They checked all the arrangements, especially the two adjacent inner fields.
"Director Luo Yuzhong will be here tonight, and I'll take him to our room," Chen Ziyan said. "I'll ask you to come sit down for a bit and toast everyone. You don't have to worry about anything else outside. There'll be a band and performances. I'll give an opening speech, and you can express your gratitude to everyone. Then the performance will begin, and we can go about our business."
When Lu Yanhe heard Chen Ziyan say "mind your own business", he felt that she was inexplicably playful, as if she was doing it on purpose.
"Okay." Lu Yanhe nodded.
-
The live band arrived at 4:30 pm, and there were also piano and violin performances.
Starting from half past five, people began to arrive one after another.
The banquet hall adopts a buffet model.
Lu Yanhe followed Chen Ziyan and welcomed all the guests.
In just one hour, Lu Yanhe felt that his face had become stiff from smiling.
Looking at Chen Ziyan again, there was no problem at all. She was still as cheerful as ever and received everyone with ease.
At half past six, Li Zhibai and Yan Liang arrived.
When Lu Yanhe saw them, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Why did you come so late?"
Li Zhibai pointed at Yan Liang and said, "Blame him."
Yan Liang glanced at him and said, "It was obviously him! He forgot to buy you a gift. I told him it was okay, but he insisted and went out to buy you a gift at the last minute."
Lu Yanhe asked them to go to the inner field quickly.
"I asked you to come here to help me greet my classmates and friends. Siqi is the only one in here now."
Li Zhibai: "Don't worry, I'll be there, the place will definitely be hot!"
-
There are more and more people.
Lu Yanhe thought, did I believe Sister Zi Yan’s lies? This is just an ordinary small party?
He felt like a spinning top.
Everyone blessed him with the most sincere tone, and Lu Yanhe also had to thank everyone with the most sincere tone.
Finally, at seven o'clock, there were already many people in the banquet hall. Everyone was eating and drinking, greeting each other and chatting.
We are all in this industry, and many of us know each other. Even those who don’t know each other get to know each other through introductions from others.
Chen Ziyan walked slowly to the front of the microphone.
Everyone quietly quieted down.
Two people from the backfield also came out.
"Good evening, everyone. I don't need an introduction, do I? I'm very happy to welcome you all to Yan He's 20th birthday party. As Yan He's agent, the past year has been one that makes me incredibly proud. Thanks to the support of all of you, Yan He has achieved many remarkable accomplishments and received many honors in his 19th year. You all have witnessed Yan He's growth over the past year."
Lu Yanhe stood in the audience, watching Chen Ziyan speak. At this moment, she seemed to have a whole stream of light flashing in her eyes.
He looked at him with a smile.
Li Zhibai and Yan Liang were standing beside him. Li Zhibai put his arm around Lu Yanhe's shoulders with a proud look on his face.
Chen Siqi was also beside him.
She turned and glanced at Lu Yanhe. Chen Ziyan's words stirred some ripples in Chen Siqi's heart. As one of Lu Yanhe's closest people, she knew best how much effort and hard work Lu Yanhe had put in over the past year.
"Yan He, tonight is your night. I'm sure everyone wants to hear you speak. Come on stage."
The whole audience cheered.
At this moment, Lu Yanhe even felt more shy than when he won the Golden Tripod Award.
Maybe it’s because all these people came here for him tonight.
That night, he was a guest at the Golden Tripod Awards.
Tonight, he is the host here.
Lu Yanhe stood in front of the microphone, looking at everyone. He wasn't familiar with all of them, but they were all familiar faces. Everyone was looking at him, and he couldn't help but sigh, "Those who know me well know that I'm actually a bit shy and socially anxious. I don't dare to speak in front of so many people, especially with so many seniors and teachers whom I respect and admire."
He pursed his lips and continued, "I was just telling my good friend Li Pengfei a few days ago that if it weren't for this birthday party, I wouldn't have realized I was already turning twenty. He's not here today because he's attending university far away, but luckily, there are still many good friends here tonight, celebrating my birthday with me. To be honest, this is the first time I can remember celebrating my birthday with so many people blessing me. In the past few years, I celebrated my birthday with Li Zhibai and Yan Liang, but last year I was in military training and didn't celebrate at all."
Everyone laughed in a good-natured way.
"Twenty is a very unfamiliar age for me. I don't know if I've truly matured since I entered my twenties, or if time hasn't really moved that fast. But this past year, I suddenly felt like time was moving faster. During my senior year of high school, every day, from the moment I opened my eyes to the moment I closed them, felt so long, as if I could never see the sun go down. I was so tired. This past year hasn't been a lot of free time, but I've been very happy. Maybe it's because I've been doing what I want to do: going to college, acting, co-founding the magazine "Jump Up" with Siqi, and then participating in a job I really enjoy, "City Travel Notes." I'm so lucky. Well, just by simply working hard, I can have the opportunity to do what I want to do."
Lu Yanhe saw that Chen Ziyan, Chen Siqi, Lin Yu and the others all seemed to have tears in their eyes.
He was stunned.
He couldn't even hold back and laughed, looking at them and asked, "Is what I said so touching? Why do you feel like you're about to cry?"
Everyone else present looked at Chen Ziyan and the others.
Chen Ziyan covered her eyes with one hand and lowered her head and shook it.
When Lu Yanhe saw her like this, his eyes became sore for a moment.
"Okay, I can't go on. I'm not recording "Art Life" tonight and I don't want to move all of you to tears." After Lu Yanhe finished speaking, the whole audience burst into laughter.
He waited until the laughter died down a bit before he said, "But maybe forty or fifty years from now, I'll be standing on the stage of 'Art Life.' By then, the audience might be moved by me before I even open my mouth. I hope I'm working towards that goal. Thank you, thank you all for coming tonight. Thank you!"
Lu Yanhe raised his right hand and waved to everyone.
The audience cheered and applauded enthusiastically.
The band also started playing.
The cheerful music awakened the music and dance cells in the audience.
The three dancers followed Lu Yanhe onto the small round stage and began to lead everyone in dancing to the music.
Those who are not dancing will automatically move towards the dining table to make room for those who are dancing.
Peng Zhixing suddenly appeared at the side of the stage with a microphone in his hand. "Dancing friends, let's dance together!"
Li Zhibai and Yan Liang took the lead and started dancing.
Both of them have been professionally trained and their movements and postures can perfectly match those of the people on the stage.
Lu Yanhe was stunned.
He didn't know there was a dancing segment.
However, he had no room to escape. Chen Ziyan simply danced and signaled him to join in with her eyes.
Lu Yanhe shrugged helplessly and could only join in.
The group of people danced for about five minutes before the song ended.
The song changed and became light and melodious.
Because of the dance just now, the atmosphere in the venue seemed to be ignited, and everyone was talking and laughing with each other.
Those who were seated at the table also started chatting animatedly with their friends.
Lu Yanhe panted, greeted everyone, and walked towards his backcourt.
-
Luo Yuzhong sat down, ate a piece of beef, and said to the others at the table with a smile, "I think Xiao Lu is also suitable to be a speaker."
Wang Zhong, the director of "Three Mountains," nodded with emotion and said, "Young people today are truly incredible. Last time I heard him speak at the Golden Tripod Awards, I thought he was a real talker. Today, I think he's even more amazing. I'm in my forties, but I can't compare to him."
"Directors let their work speak for itself," Chen Bige said. "I'm the one who feels ashamed. When I stand on the podium, I'm always so excited that my mind goes blank and my language becomes illogical. Compared to Xiao Lu, I'm so confused."
"It's just a true expression of feelings, not confusing at all," said Luo Yuzhong.
Chen Bi Ge: "Oh, thank you Director for comforting me. I often watch my own acceptance speeches, and every time I want to travel back and do it all over again."
Wang Zhong smiled and said, "A speech that is too perfect is not perfect. Xiao Lu's speech is not perfect either. If you don't express your true feelings at this time, when will you express your true feelings?"
Huang Kairen sighed, "When can I express my true feelings?"
The others laughed.
"Right away," Luo Yuzhong said, "I noticed when you were acting in 'The Golden Era' that you understand acting now. You didn't understand it that well before."
Huang Kairen clasped his hands together and expressed his gratitude to Luo Yuzhong, saying, "Being nominated for the Golden Tripod Award for 'The Golden Era' is already a major breakthrough in my acting career."
Luo Yuzhong: "Keep up the good work, you deserve the Best Actor award."
Huang Kairen smiled and said that he would definitely work hard.
-
Lu Yanhe ate with everyone in his room for a while and introduced his college roommate to others.
Apart from Zhou Mukai and Lin Yu knowing each other, basically they were two different groups before and during college and had never met each other in real life.
Li Zhibai smiled and said, "It's okay. No matter what the relationship is, it's all your relationship. We men are all your roommates."
When Lu Yanhe heard this, he realized it was true.
He smiled and nodded.
He wasn't very familiar with his roommates' girlfriends.
Fortunately, Chen Siqi is here.
They were chatting about their own things, and I didn't know what they were talking about. They were so focused that they didn't pay any attention to what others were saying.
Li Zhibai sighed and said, "Your dormitory is pretty awesome. All of you found your partner in the first year."
Xiao Jing pointed at Mao Jiayang and said, "No, he just got single at the beginning of this semester, so he's the slowest."
Mao Jiayang: "I'm going to break your fingers."
Li Xiao suddenly looked over here at this moment.
The fierce look on Mao Jiayang's face disappeared instantly, and he smiled, "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?"
Li Xiao shook his head, "It's okay."
Lu Yanhe had to admit that he was disgusted by the speed at which Mao Jiayang's expression changed.
Good to lick.
-
That night, the excitement lasted until about ten o'clock, when it began to disperse one after another.
Lu Yanhe drank a lot of wine and went to see someone off with Chen Ziyan.
When he came to his senses, only Chen Siqi, Li Zhibai and a few others were left.
Chen Ziyan was also a bit drunk. Although she looked like she could still drink more, she darted her eyes around and realized there was no one left who needed her smiling greeting. Then she sat down on the chair, resting her hand on the back and leaning her cheek against it. She couldn't tell if she was tired or drunk.
"Brother Dong, please take Sister Zi Yan back home." Lu Yanhe said to Zou Dong.
Lu Qingzhen suddenly came over at this time.
"No, no, I'll send it back to her." Lu Qingzhen said to Lu Yanhe with a smile, "She called me over tonight because she was afraid she might have a blackout, so she asked me to finish it for her."
Lu Yanhe knew that Lu Qingzhen and Chen Ziyan were very good friends.
He asked, "Sister Qingzhen, can you make it alone? Why don't you let Brother Dong take you there? I'll go back directly with Li Zhibai and the others."
Hearing this, Lu Qingzhen thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, then Zou Dong, please give us a ride."
Zou Dong nodded.
Lu Yanhe will definitely return to Ziyuan Bridge tonight.
After he sent Chen Ziyan and the others away, he turned and looked at Chen Siqi.
"Where are you staying tonight?"
Chen Siqi said, "I'll just book a room here and sleep for one night. I'll go back to Jiangguang tomorrow morning."
Hearing this, Lu Yanhe said, "Then I'll stay here with you."
Chen Siqi glanced over and asked, "Why, do you still want to sleep in the same room with me?"
Lu Yanhe's cheeks instantly turned red and he shook his head, "No, I can just get a room next to yours."
Chen Siqi: "What's the point? Just reply."
Lu Yanhe said, "It's too...unsafe for you to stay in a hotel alone."
"What's unsafe about this? I stay in hotels by myself several times a month." Chen Siqi looked at Lu Yanhe carefully and asked, "Did you drink a little too much today? Why are you so fussy?"
Lu Yanhe: “…”
Li Zhibai cried out in pain.
"What's wrong?"
"We really have no choice but to sleep here tonight. Let's get a room together." Li Zhibai suddenly said.
"Ah?" Lu Yanhe was stunned. "What's wrong?"
Li Zhibai: "I forgot I had a drink today. I can't drive."
Yan Liang smiled slightly and said, "What a pity, I can't drive."
Lu Yanhe looked at the two of them in confusion.
Chen Siqi looked at them, speechless: "..."
Li Zhibai pushed Lu Yanhe and said, "What are you still standing there for? Go get a room!"
-
Huang Kairen went upstairs first, followed by Xin Zixiong.
There was a gap of about ten minutes.
Only after Xin Zixiong confirmed that no one else was entering or leaving the corridor did she send a message to Huang Kairen, telling him that he could get out of the elevator.
Huang Kairen, wearing a mask and a baseball cap, walked over with his head down, and knocked at the door of Xin Zixing's room.
Xin Zixing opened the door, let him in, and then closed the door immediately.
Huang Kairen took off his mask and hat and breathed a sigh of relief.
"There are too many people coming tonight," he said to Xin Zixiong.
Xin Zixing nodded and said, "Yan He is very popular."
"He's the most comfortable young artist I've ever met." Huang Kairen saw Xin Zixing turn around to charge her phone, so he followed her and hugged her from behind. He buried his head in her neck and sniffed, "Huh? Did you change your shampoo? I've never smelled this scent before."
"You brought it to me last time," Xin Zixing said. "You said you bought it in Paris."
Huang Kairen reacted immediately, "Oh, I remember now, I forgot."
Xin Zixing: "Don't move your hands now, you're sweating."
"There's no sweat."
"I have."
"I don't mind."
"I dislike it myself, and it makes me feel uncomfortable." Xin Zixing glared at him, "You're always so impatient when we meet."
Huang Kairen smiled and said, "Then how often do we meet? It's rare for us to have the chance to be together anyway."
Xin Zixing said, "Make a good transition and establish yourself as soon as possible. I don't want to meet you secretly like this for another two or three years, like we're having an affair."
Huang Kairen: "Alas, I originally thought I had a good chance of winning the Golden Tripod Award, but I didn't expect to run into Mr. Liu Teli, who is even harder to win."
Xin Zixing asked, "Have you decided what scene you're going to act in next?"
Huang Kairen shook his head, "I'm still reading the script. This time, 'The Golden Era' has really helped me open the door to serious dramas. The scripts handed to me are no longer those idol dramas."
Xin Zixing said, "You can go ask Yan He."
"Ask Yan He?" Huang Kairen looked puzzled. "Why ask him?"
Xin Zixing said: "He is writing a script."
"Ah?" Huang Kairen was stunned for a moment. "I know he's writing a script. Hasn't he been learning? He said he wants to write his own scripts in the future."
"He's already written several scripts." Xin Zixing sighed. "I shouldn't have told you this. They haven't made it public. Don't let it slip. Just pretend you don't know. He's written several movie scripts. One was picked up by Jia Long and is in the pipeline. The other two were picked up by Chen Bige and are currently being revised. You can imagine how good his scripts are."
Huang Kairen widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Are you serious?"
"Really." Xin Zixing said, "If I hadn't talked to Chen Siqi a lot and learned it from her, this news would have been kept secret. Maybe you can go talk to Yan He and see if he has any scripts suitable for you."
Huang Kairen fell into deep thought and confusion.
For Huang Kairen, what he lacks most at this stage is a good script and a good team.
Film and television companies hold good scripts in their own hands and often do not come to Huang Kairen.
No matter how popular Huang Kairen is, he is just popular.
In comparison, there are of course also actors who are very popular, well-known and have good acting skills.
It was from the drama "The Golden Era" that Huang Kairen began to reverse his impression in the industry, among the audience and in the market - he was not an actor known for his acting skills before.
Xin Zixing said: "Yan He is a very talented person. You will never suffer any loss if you make friends with him."
"Of course I want to be friends with him, even if he doesn't have these talents, I would still be willing to do so. I had a good impression of him when I filmed "The Golden Era" with him. It's rare to find someone who is so hardworking, self-disciplined and not stubborn. But if I suddenly ask him for the script, I always feel like I don't know how to start the conversation." Huang Kairen sat down on the bed and scratched his head.
Xin Zixing: "Just pretend to ask as a joke. If he has a story that suits you, he might be willing to write one for you."
Huang Kairen nodded.
"Okay."
Xin Zixing: "Of course, you can also change your mindset. If the competition in the Best Actor category is fierce, you might as well play a supporting actor in a movie directed by a big director and compete for the supporting actor category."
Huang Kairen: "How could my agent agree to that?"
"That's because your agent is too short-sighted." Xin Zixiong said.
"It's not that we lack foresight, it's that no one dares to bet their future on an illusory award," Huang Kairen explained.
Xin Zixing looked at him and said, "Then I am, right? If you don't win the award, your status will be unstable. If your status is unstable, we can only maintain this underground relationship and can't make it public. I want to stand by you openly and tell my family and friends that you are my boyfriend."
Huang Kairen looked at Xin Zixing and was slightly stunned.
Xin Zixing looked at him condescendingly. One second, two seconds, she bent down and kissed Huang Kairen on the mouth.
Huang Kairen suddenly turned over and pressed Xin Zixing under him.
He assaulted Xin Zixing's lips and neck, and finally whispered in her ear with a nasal, rough voice, "Thirty. When I'm thirty, whether I win an award or not, I'll openly hold your hand and tell everyone that you're my girlfriend."
Xin Zixing looked at the patterns on the roof with full eyes and breathed softly.
-
My twentieth birthday was spent on a sleepless night.
Lu Yanhe got up early in the morning.
Chen Siqi's flight was at 10 a.m. and she was leaving at 7:30, so Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi agreed to go downstairs to the restaurant for breakfast at 7 a.m.
He waited for her at the door of Chen Siqi's room.
After a while, the door of a room in front opened.
A familiar figure came out from inside, wearing a baseball cap and a mask.
As he approached, Lu Yanhe called out "Brother Huang" in surprise.
Huang Kairen had been walking with his head down, and was startled by his call. When he looked up, he found that it was Lu Yanhe, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yan He."
"Brother Huang, did you sleep here last night too?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Huang Kairen nodded and said, "I'm too tired, so I just rest here. What are you doing?"
"I'm waiting for someone." Lu Yanhe said, "Are you leaving?"
"Yeah." Huang Kairen nodded. "The car is waiting for me downstairs. I'll leave first."
"Bye, thank you Brother Huang." Lu Yanhe said.
Huang Kairen waved his hand and said, "Don't be polite. Let's find an opportunity to work together later. Aren't you writing a script? When you write a script for the two of us, I'll act it out for you."
Lu Yanhe was flattered. "Ah? Okay, okay. I'll go write it then."
Huang Kairen nodded and left.
Lu Yanhe was shocked.
How come Huang Kairen also took the initiative to talk to him about the script? Does everyone trust him so much?
After all, he is just a pseudo-screenwriter now, and he hasn't released a serious script to the public yet.
At this time, Chen Siqi came out.
Lu Yanhe put the matter behind him and didn't think about it anymore.
-
Lu Yanhe increasingly felt that it was a good thing to be the co-editor of "Jump Up" with Chen Siqi.
There is no need to be shy about appearing together in front of others.
Of course, the main reason is that Lu Yanhe doesn’t care at all whether others find out that he and Chen Siqi are in a relationship.
It's okay to be together.
However, according to Chen Ziyan, he is only 20 years old now, and many of his fans are young female fans who are infatuated and admiring of him. If he makes his relationship public at this time, Chen Siqi is in school and may be easily affected, so he did not think about making it public on his own initiative.
Lu Yanhe asked Chen Siqi: "Will you come back for National Day?"
"It depends," Chen Siqi said. "The summer issue received a very good response, which led to an increase in sales for our August issue. We're preparing for the December winter issue, so we have a lot to do."
Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "If you don't come back during the National Day holiday, I don't have a job, so I'll go to Jiangguang to find you."
"Okay." Chen Siqi nodded.
They sat together in the hotel restaurant to have breakfast. After a while, Lu Yanhe suddenly saw a familiar figure walking in.
"Huh? Did Sister Zixing also stay in the hotel last night?" Lu Yanhe was a little confused.
Chen Siqi followed his gaze and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Yanhe said, "It's okay."
Chen Siqi: "Were all the people who came to your birthday party yesterday people you've worked with before?"
"Yeah." Lu Yanhe nodded.
"No wonder. I rarely see Sister Zi Yan being so thoughtful. She's taken care of everyone, leaving no one behind." Chen Siqi said, "In the past, she usually only took care of the most important people."
Lu Yanhe: "She invited everyone. Of course, they are the ones she wants to entertain. Otherwise, she wouldn't have invited them."
Chen Siqi nodded.
At this time, Xin Zixing also saw them.
Her expression changed instantly and she subconsciously wanted to leave. However, she thought that there was no need to feel guilty since Huang Kairen had already left.
She regained her composure, came over with the food tray and greeted them.
"Good morning, why are you up so early?"
Lu Yanhe said, "Siqi has to catch a plane."
"So that's how it is." Xin Zixing nodded, "I'll go sit by the window."
"Um."
Lu Yanhe watched Xin Zixing leave, and suddenly heard Chen Siqi exclaim.
Lu Yanhe asked: "What's wrong?"
Chen Siqi said, "Look at Sister Zixing's neck."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yanhe followed Chen Siqi's gaze.
There is a very obvious red mark on the back of Xin Zixing's neck.
Lu Yanhe was confused at first, but then he reacted.
"Sister Zixing... isn't she single?"
Chen Siqi shook her head: "I don't know, but it's none of our business, so don't meddle in other people's business."
Lu Yanhe nodded doubtfully and looked away.
Does Sister Zixing have a boyfriend? He interacted with Xin Zixing a lot, but he never remembered her mentioning her boyfriend.
Who is it?
-
The monthly votes have reached 4720, which is too exaggerated. I expected that there would only be 500 new ones, but I didn’t expect that there would be 1500+ new ones. This means that I have to update 15,000 more words on the basis of 6,000. A total of 21,000 words need to be updated. I started writing non-stop at 7 o'clock in the evening and have written 17,000 words until now. My wrist is almost broken.
There are still 4,000 words left. I'll see whether I should stay up all night to write them, or just post them together in tomorrow's update.
You guys are so cruel. Be careful next time when you play this kind of game with monthly tickets and additional updates!
If we release it this time, we must fulfill it. Fortunately, it was only promised for three days.
(These sentences are less than 200 words and are not included in the charging section!)
