Chapter 289
The news that Lu Yan He was going to host a birthday party was even more popular than Chen Ziyan had imagined.
By "popular," it meant that many people who heard the news wanted to come to her for an invitation.
In the entertainment industry, private gatherings are common, while parties with a larger number of people like this are rare. This means that many circles are actually quite private; for many people to get in, they need someone to bring them, a guide. If you don't have one, no matter how much you scheme and strive, you won't be accepted by that circle.
Often, people use the word "connections" to describe a person's ability. But for Chen Ziyan, "connections" are not ability; they are resources. Ability is whether you can handle the relationships between various connections well, and whether you can get these people to provide you with help at critical moments.
Chen Ziyan knows many people. Having been in the entertainment industry for so many years, being an agent is her public identity, but beneath this identity, there are many other identities.
Anyone who knows Chen Ziyan even a little bit knows that she is never short of money—there is a difference between "never short of money" and "very rich." Others don't know if Chen Ziyan is "very rich," but many people know that Chen Ziyan is definitely "never short of money." This is because many people know that Chen Ziyan actually manages the flow of a lot of money.
Much of this money is not just her own.
Therefore, with Lu Yan He hosting a birthday party and Chen Ziyan personally orchestrating it, the signal conveyed by this event suddenly took on multiple layers of meaning.
For ordinary stars and artists, what they heard was, "Many industry big shots will be there, Director Luo Yuzhong, Director Chen Lingling..."
For already famous stars and artists, this is a rare occasion, "Basically all the first-tier actors have received invitations."
At this time, Chen Ziyan needs a grand appearance, needs a large number of big shots and celebrities to stand with her, to tell everyone eyeing this piece of fat to put away their covetous gazes, and also to give a signal to everyone who supports her and provides her with help that she is still at her peak.
When Lu Yan He handed the invitations to Mao Jiayang and the others, they were all stunned.
"It's not really like that," Lu Yan He explained.
Lu Yan He was taken aback.
Nowadays, the Tianxing Awards are moving forward without stopping, and "Idol Era" has already been set to begin its first recording in October.
Chen Siqi: 【A kitchen knife】
Lu Yan He: I thought you were in Jiangguang; it's rare for you to come back.
Xiao Jing shook his head and said, "She doesn't mind. She said that my liking Jiang Yuqian is like a toad wanting to eat swan meat; the swan would only find it disgusting."
Tough.
Mao Jiayang: "With me, this dashing, handsome guy from the Southwest, is that the kind of handsomeness you can appreciate? Hurry up and make an appointment at the ophthalmology department."
Lu Yan He said, "I accidentally did something big."
Regarding such momentum, Chen Ziyan was noncommittal, neither admitting nor denying it.
Lu Yan He was choked by Xiao Jing's words and couldn't say a single word.
Xiao Jing: "It's useless for you to dress like that; you have to go get a facial first."
"Formal wear?" Xiao Jing looked blank, "Change into what formal wear?"
Lu Yan He: Do you have time?
Zhou Mukai also showed a look of surprise.
For some practitioners in film and television companies, this is an occasion where stars gather, "Several actors who are currently very popular will appear, Jiang Yuqian, Li Zhibai, Huang Kairen, Chen Bige, and so on!"
"Is it that formal? There are even invitations?" Mao Jiayang asked in surprise.
There isn't just one inner venue; Chen Ziyan has one here too.
Miao Yue has also published an article on "Jump Up." Linyu should know her, right? Not necessarily. Lu Yan He thought for a moment and sent a message to Chen Siqi: How about you come back for a trip?
Chen Siqi:?
Lu Yan He said: I found that birthday parties are really troublesome.
Lu Yan He scratched his head and said, "It's mainly because my agent said that I have never held a party to gather with people I have worked with before, so I'm just using this as an excuse to hold a party."
Xiao Jing sneered, "I'd like to see how stylish you can be."
Chen Siqi:?
Lu Yan He said: There are many people, several groups of friends, I need you to help me entertain them.
"Big?" Mao Jiayang was even more shocked, "How big?"
Why hold such a birthday party for Lu Yan He? Chen Ziyan also has her own goals. Having returned to the entertainment industry for two years, she has lived up to expectations by bringing out Lu Yan He, a popular star whose upward momentum is like a rocket. Many people's minds have once again recalled the impression of her dominating the entertainment industry back then.
Lu Yan He said, "However, we have a small room for ourselves. When the time comes, we will just eat in the small room. You guys wear these blue wristbands, and then you can enter the small room. There will only be a few of us in the small room, plus a few of my other friends. It's a good chance to introduce you to them."
"It seems like hundreds of people are coming?" Lu Yan He said.
Xiao Jing: "... Sigh."
"Country bumpkin." Mao Jiayang glanced sideways, "Haven't you seen that kind of banquet in movies and TV shows?"
Xiao Jing asked, "Will Jiang Yuqian be in the small room?"
Lu Yan He has people he wants to invite, and she has people she wants to invite.
She is carefully listing her own list.
Mao Jiayang sighed instantly, somewhat disappointed, "I thought there was finally a chance to dress like that."
Chen Siqi: Did you think I wouldn't come to your birthday party?
Lu Yan He: "Wait, there's no need, really no need. You don't need to wear formal wear. Don't make it so grand. Although it's a party, no one will dress like those high-end banquets in movies and TV shows. It's just my birthday party, not a royal banquet."
Lu Yan He: "You are so obsessed with Sister Yuqian, doesn't your girlfriend mind?"
Mao Jiayang's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked, "Then do we still need to change into formal wear?"
One dares to say it, the other dares to remember and repeat it; both have strong hearts.
Chen Siqi:...
Lu Yan He silently held his forehead, sighed, turned around, and walked away.
Lu Yan He's only high school classmate in Yuming is Linyu. If Linyu were to sit in the inner venue, she wouldn't know anyone else, and the other girls are all girlfriends brought by Mao Jiayang and the others... Maybe Linyu and Miao Yue know each other?
"Let you down, Sister Yuqian has work and can't come," Lu Yan He said.
Lu Yan He: "You will have many such opportunities in the future, don't be in a hurry."
Chen Siqi: Haven't I come back many times even though it's rare?
Lu Yan He: Then when will you arrive? I'll go pick you up.
Chen Siqi: No need, I'll just take a taxi and come over.
Lu Yan He: You aren't angry, are you?
Chen Siqi: No.
Lu Yan He: I'm sorry, I was wrong.
Chen Siqi then threw a screenshot of her flight booking at him.
Lu Yan He hadn't asked Chen Siqi if she would come before because he assumed Chen Siqi couldn't come—it's so far, and it's just a birthday, no need to go through the trouble.
But in Chen Siqi's view, it was clearly not like that.
Not long after Lu Yan He put down his phone, it rang again.
He thought it was Chen Siqi sending another message, but it turned out to be Lin Miaomiao: You are holding a birthday party? Why didn't you send me an invitation?
Lu Yan He gasped.
Li Pengfei complained: You deserve it!
Lu Yan He: I didn't come to you to complain about me.
Li Pengfei: Who told you to be indecisive.
Lu Yan He: I have never been with her!
Li Pengfei: Since you know she has a crush on you, and you still don't keep your distance, who are you blaming?
Lu Yan He: How else should I keep my distance?
Li Pengfei: Delete her contact information.
Lu Yan He: Huh?
Li Pengfei: This is the most straightforward way.
Lu Yan He thought about it seriously; perhaps he really had to do this.
Li Pengfei's words gave Lu Yan He a reminder.
He thought for a moment and replied seriously to Lin Miaomiao: Sorry, I cannot send you an invitation.
Lin Miaomiao: Why?
Lu Yan He: Because my girlfriend will be jealous.
Lin Miaomiao:?
Lin Miaomiao: Hehe.
After Li Pengfei heard about Lu Yan He's operation, his eyes were stunned, and he said: Slick, this operation.
Lu Yan He: Inspired by you.
Li Pengfei: Huh? Me? Then I'm not as slick as you.
Lu Yan He:...
Lin Miaomiao was very angry.
Lu Yan He's attitude simply made her furious.
She actually never said it, but she had been a fan of Lu Yan He for a long time. To be precise, she was his fan during that talent show when Lu Yan He was fifteen. That's why she went specifically when "Small Song Gathering" asked Lu Yan He to record the show.
Does she like Lu Yan He?
She doesn't think so. She just likes Lu Yan He as an idol, not really as a boy she likes.
At least, Lin Miaomiao has always thought so.
"I even told him I don't like him! He actually said that; isn't he too much?" Lin Miaomiao said angrily to a friend on the phone.
The friend didn't echo her words as usual, but 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 fifteen."
"But, there were several years in the middle when there was no news of him. Maybe you liked the idol version of him when you were fourteen, but now you like the him you know." The friend said.
Lin Miaomiao was silent for a moment, no longer denying or refuting.
She fell into a daze herself.
Maybe the friend was right.
The friend said: "When you liked Lu Yan He back then, I didn't know what you liked about him. Except for his good-looking face, he wasn't good at anything, gloomy and timid, without any charm. And now that you say you don't like Lu Yan He, I don't know why you don't like him. Almost everyone likes him, except for those with unique aesthetics."
It was as if a sharp arrow shot from the horizon, hitting her heart.
A critical hit.
Lu Yan He is turning twenty.
Finally stepping from the one-digit age into the two-digit age, Lu Yan He couldn't describe the feeling.
Is he more mature than when he first arrived? Lu Yan He doesn't know; he is not the type of person who summarizes how much he has gained and how much he has grown.
Regarding the summary of the past two years, he can only say that he has tried his best.
Others say he is a genius—of course, only referring to his talent in acting. But Lu Yan He has never considered himself a genius; he has always been using clumsy methods to learn, perform, and do other work. This clumsy method makes him always have a sense of "strenuous" clumsiness, and he never feels the ease of doing something effortlessly.
The matter of preparing for the birthday party only kept reminding him—you are turning twenty.
Lu Yan He couldn't help but think, if he had transmigrated at forty or fifty, maybe it would be a different feeling?
For him, except for the year of his senior year in high school, every year after that is brand new, equally unknown, and equally requires him to experience and explore.
He doesn't have the confidence to be reckless, nor the capital to live a carefree life.
Sometimes thinking about it, this transmigration is really not the right time.
But thinking again, when is a good time to transmigrate? Except before death, maybe it doesn't count. Transmigrating before death means living an extra life, which is also quite good, equivalent to extending one's lifespan.
Lu Yan He just thought about it randomly.
He didn't even realize that in the live broadcast room, someone was mocking him in the barrage, saying: So the so-called reading for seven or eight hours a day is just staring blankly like this?
Of course, this person's comment was quickly sprayed back by others.
—If you have the ability, go sit at the desk and stare blankly for seven or eight hours. If you can persist, I admire you.
Lu Yan He stared blankly for about half an hour before coming back to his senses, turned his neck, and continued reading and taking notes.
The courses for the sophomore year have already been selected. Because he has to film "Late Spring" next semester and there are no other filming plans for this semester, he chose many courses for himself.
The result of doing this is that there are more books to read.
However, Lu Yan He thinks this is quite good; he can finish the credits as soon as possible, and the pressure will be much less in the following semesters.
It was around seven o'clock in the evening when Li Zhibai finally returned.
"Old Lu, let's go!"
He put his suitcase by the door and shouted outside.
Because he was alone, Lu Yan He didn't turn off the microphone in the live broadcast room, and as a result, Li Zhibai's shout startled everyone.
Lu Yan He replied "Okay" and said to the people in the live broadcast room: "I'm going out to eat with Li Zhibai. Ending the broadcast, bye."
He didn't look at everyone's reaction and directly closed the live broadcast room.
Having broadcast for so long, Lu Yan He has already cultivated a lot of tacit understanding with everyone, and everyone is used to his style of doing things. As soon as he said he was ending the broadcast, everyone dispersed.
Li Zhibai just returned from the crew.
The two of them had agreed in the afternoon to have dinner together in the evening.
Therefore, Lu Yan He had been waiting for him.
"How is your filming going?" Lu Yan He asked.
"It's just like that, anyway, it's a makeshift crew."
"Makeshift crew? Isn't it a very powerful director?" Lu Yan He said.
"The director is okay, but the crew is a huge trouble spot. Every day there are all kinds of troubles, you can't even imagine. I don't know how our crew's coordinator survived," Li Zhibai said. "You probably can't imagine that our filming schedule for the next day only comes out the night before, because until the night before, you never know which actors are on the crew."
Lu Yan He asked in surprise: "Ah?"
Li Zhibai: "A grand Xianxia drama, wanting an all-star lineup, often this one is not here, that one asked for leave. Asking for leave is fine, but there are a few people who left without even asking for leave, saying they left and just left. Even the coordinator didn't know they were gone, and only found out when their scenes were scheduled that they weren't on the crew."
Lu Yan He finally understood why Li Zhibai used the four words "makeshift crew" to describe this crew.
"That's a bit exaggerated," Lu Yan He said.
Li Zhibai: "It's more than just a bit exaggerated. The fact that I stay on the crew every day makes the coordinator almost cry with gratitude. If I did the same, the crew would probably be in chaos."
Lu Yan He asked: "Then isn't your filming going very unsmoothly?"
"It's okay, I feel like everyone is used to this style. I see that except for the coordinator, others don't react much. The director is used to it, and other actors are used to it," Li Zhibai said. "Since everyone has no opinion, I just follow along and have no opinion. With my usual temper, I would have scolded people long ago, but now I'm too lazy to scold. Why should I be the villain? Anyway, filming is delayed, and it's the producers who are silent now who have to spend more money."
Lu Yan He nodded: "Then you really shouldn't lose your temper. Although you are the male lead, there are so many actors in the play. Since this practice has become a trend, you are the outlier instead. If you lose your temper, others will gang up on you."
"That's exactly it, so I don't say a word," Li Zhibai said, smiling. "Speaking of which, because of this, I even read two books on the crew. Didn't you say before that Nian Jin's "Eight Difficulties" and "Guanyin Statue" are both very good? I finished reading these two books. It's strange to say, when you let me read in the hotel, I couldn't read a word, but when I'm on the set, there's absolutely no obstacle. If you let me play games on the set, I don't have that state, but reading is actually very energetic. Tsk tsk, if I had known I was in this situation, I should have moved a desk to the set during my senior year of high school."
Lu Yan He laughed, "That's a bit exaggerated."
The night was vast.
In Yuming in September, the heat had already subsided.
Once the night fell, the heat gradually receded. By this time, the wind felt warm and carried a bit of coolness.
Li Zhibai put his hands behind his head, turned his head to look at Lu Yan He, and asked: "What about you?"
"Hmm?"
"Any filming plans later?"
"Not for now. I was supposed to film a movie "Miss Ning", which is the one I was going to guest star in, Director He Han, but the female lead he wanted refused to act, so it was shelved. He has already started writing other scripts," Lu Yan He said. "As for the next play, it's the literary film adapted from my classmate Miao Yue's novel, "Late Spring", which will be next spring."
Li Zhibai said "Oh," "Then you can go to school with peace of mind."
He understands Lu Yan He very well.
Lu Yan He also smiled.
"It's not the same. Sister Ziyan really wants me to guest star in various crews to accumulate experience," he said.
Li Zhibai clicked his tongue, "Different agents, different ideas and methods."
"Ah?"
"Zhou Ping'an is not willing to let me guest star at all, let alone play a supporting role," Li Zhibai said. "You probably don't know, oh, no, how could you not know, he is the kind of person who won't suffer any loss. Do you know what he does? He tells outside crews that it's okay for me to guest star, but guest starring for one day costs one million, and guest starring for two days costs two million."
Lu Yan He was stunned and looked at Li Zhibai in disbelief.
"Yeah, you heard that right, this is what he did," Li Zhibai rolled his eyes speechlessly.
Lu Yan He: "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 guest star at all, saying that those who come to me to guest star are all trying to ride on my fame," Li Zhibai said. "Of course, he might not be wrong. Nine out of ten are trying to ride on my fame and popularity, but his way of refusing is very ugly when it gets out."
"That's for sure, it's like you are only interested in profit."
Li Zhibai nodded: "That's exactly it."
Lu Yan He asked: "Then what did you do?"
"What do you mean what did I do?"
"Don't tell me you didn't have any reaction after he did that? I don't believe it." Lu Yan He knows Li Zhibai too well; with his temper, it's impossible for him to just follow Zhou Ping'an's arrangements.
Li Zhibai smiled and said: "I didn't do anything else, I just ran directly to the crew next door and guest starred in a shot. After I finished, I told him that I had finished filming myself, and I didn't take a penny."
"Ah?"
"His face turned green with anger."
"You this—"
"Anyway, he can't do anything to me," Li Zhibai said with a look of fearlessness.
Thinking about it carefully, it's true.
Li Zhibai wouldn't be affected by this anyway.
Anyway, Li Zhibai acting crazy is not a one-day or two-day thing.
Lu Yan He couldn't help but sigh: It's really good to have a persona that often acts crazy.
If it weren't for a big night scene tonight, Yan Liang would have left tonight.
Having known Lu Yan He for so long, this is the first time Yan Liang has attended Lu Yan He's birthday party.
Of course, this is also the first time Lu Yan He has held a birthday party.
It's also a coincidence that Yan Liang happens to have no scenes tomorrow.
He plays a supporting role, so the schedule is not that full. Originally, Yan Liang planned to tell the crew to see if it could be adjusted if he had scenes tomorrow.
Because he is a supporting role, filming is easier to adjust.
After the director finally shouted "Cut," Yan Liang prepared to go back.
He went to the restroom first.
As soon as he finished, he 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, his relationship with everyone was quite good.
Yan Liang already had a smile on his face, ready to go out and greet them.
Suddenly, Li Ziqi mentioned him: "Yan Liang, did he leave?"
"Left," Liu Yun said, "Isn't he rushing back to attend Lu Yan He's birthday party?"
"Tsk tsk, the party is tomorrow, why are you rushing back so anxiously today?"
"What is Lu Yan He's status now, and what is his status," Li Ziqi chuckled.
Yan Liang's leg lifted and then put down, and the smile on his face also faded.
Liu Yun said: "From the group they came out of, Li Zhibai and Lu Yan He are both very popular now, only Yan Liang is still so lukewarm, still playing a supporting role here. Sigh, I don't know how embarrassed he is inside."
"Yeah, he usually has a friendly smile every day, trying hard to get along with everyone. I really can't stand this behavior of being friendly with everyone, especially this personality of not offending anyone. Oh, I hate this kind of person the most."
"Sigh, can he do it if he doesn't do this? He's not as popular as his two teammates."
"How can he be popular with this old good-guy personality."
"Old good guy? That's not necessarily true, maybe it's fake. It's nothing more than because he only has the capital to be an old good guy now."
The two actresses washed their hands, chatting and laughing as they left.
After they had been gone for a while, Yan Liang came out of the restroom.
? co
He walked to the faucet, turned on the water, and washed his hands. The sound of water rushed in his ears.
He looked up at the mirror.
In the mirror, his face was pale and his eyes were dull.
He even felt a bit strange looking at himself.
The words the two people just said were like knives stabbing into his heart.
Clearly, his relationship with them was okay, and they could chat and laugh on the set. How could they see him like this behind his back?
The two of them are like this, what about the others?
Was his behavior 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 others to see his abnormality. Someone noticed and asked him what was wrong, and he said he was too tired from filming and his state was not good.
No one suspected anything.
Until he got on the car and headed to the airport.
He was taking the latest flight back to Yuming.
Actually, he could have taken tomorrow's flight back.
But because he knew Lu Yan He and Li Zhibai were both there tonight, he wanted to go back early.
The two of them even said they would have a late-night snack together when he got back.
Yan Liang sat in the car, watching the night scene passing by rapidly outside the window, which couldn't stir up a ripple in his heart.
Of course, he also knew that he was the worst developed of the three.
However, he had never taken it to heart. He was a little anxious, but only a little. Before Lu Yan He became popular, 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 Yan He.
Yan Liang sometimes envied Li Zhibai and Lu Yan He, but he had never really been jealous of them.
Even now.
It's just that a strong sense of inferiority is surging deep in Yan Liang's heart now—is he no longer worthy of being their friend?
Is he only destined to be mocked and looked down upon when standing with them?
Lu Yan He said to Li Zhibai: "I am still in contact with a drama, a sitcom from Beijing TV, but it is very short, only eight episodes, twenty minutes per episode. You should have seen this kind of sitcom, right?"
"Seen it," Li Zhibai nodded, "Why did you suddenly think of acting in a sitcom?"
Lu Yan He said: "Because one is that I really like the concept of this script, although I haven't seen the complete script yet, and the other is that I want to write a sitcom myself later, and I want to see how a sitcom is filmed."
Li Zhibai understood, nodded, and looked at him in surprise, "You want to write a sitcom script?"
"Yeah."
"How many stories are in your head?" Li Zhibai asked in disbelief.
Lu Yan He said: "Many, many stories. Some are just a fragment, some are a scene, and some are a relatively complete story."
"No wonder others say you are a genius. This really makes me jealous," Li Zhibai said.
"What's there to be jealous of? Can the fact that I can be a screenwriter also make you jealous?"
"It's the fact that whatever you do, you can succeed at it that makes me jealous," Li Zhibai said.
Lu Yan He: "The script I wrote hasn't succeeded yet."
"Won't it succeed sooner or later?" Li Zhibai seemed to have no doubt about this, "Whatever you want to do, you will always succeed. You have that ability."
Lu Yan He: "Thank you for your trust, blind trust."
After he finished speaking, he sighed softly.
Because he didn't have such strong confidence himself.
He didn't know whether the script he wrote could reach the same height as the original in this world, or if it would be a total flop.
After all, for a film and television work, the script is just the foundation. Directors, actors, photography, etc., will all affect the final result.
If the people are wrong, a good script can also be filmed badly.
Then why must the script he wrote from memory be successful?
Lu Yan He has always had this worry.
However, Li Zhibai seemed to have never doubted his ability, just firmly believing that he would succeed.
Lu Yan He smiled and didn't say anything more.
That night, Chen Siqi was applying a mask to herself when suddenly, she received a very strange text message: Are you Chen Siqi?
Since becoming the editor-in-chief of "Jump Up," Chen Siqi hasn't just received such text messages asking "Are you Chen Siqi?" often, but she has received them four or five times.
Therefore, Chen Siqi didn't pay attention.
Until five minutes later, this number sent a second message: I am Lin Miaomiao.
Chen Siqi was suddenly taken aback.
Huh?
Chen Siqi certainly knows who Lin Miaomiao is.
Lu Yan He has never hidden Lin Miaomiao's affairs from her. Even when she and Lu Yan He were not together at the beginning.
Therefore, Chen Siqi knows very well that Lin Miaomiao must like Lu Yan He. Even if she told Lu Yan He herself that she had never liked him.
Lu Yan He might have believed it, but Chen Siqi didn't.
Despite this, Chen Siqi had never been jealous of Lin Miaomiao in front of Lu Yan He.
One is knowing that Lu Yan He doesn't like Lin Miaomiao and doesn't have that intention.
The second is Lin Miaomiao's identity. Chen Siqi also doesn't want Lu Yan He to have an unpleasant relationship with Lin Miaomiao because of such things, which would affect Lu Yan He's development in the entertainment industry.
Chen Siqi had met Lin Miaomiao before, but she had never had Lin Miaomiao's contact information and just acted as if she didn't know this person.
Unexpectedly, Lin Miaomiao would actively appear in her life in such a way.
Chen Siqi picked up her phone, was silent for a few seconds, and replied: I am Chen Siqi, what is the matter?
Lin Miaomiao: Did you forbid Lu Yan He from sending me an invitation?
Chen Siqi:?
Lin Miaomiao said: Tomorrow is Lu Yan He's birthday party. I asked him why he didn't send me an invitation, and he said if he invited me, you would be jealous. Are you that narrow-minded?
Chen Siqi was taken aback.
Lu Yan He hadn't told her about this.
Damn? He actually used her as a shield?!
Chen Siqi narrowed her eyes, but after hesitating for a moment, she replied: Yes, I will be jealous, and I am also very narrow-minded.
After replying, Chen Siqi looked at her phone thoughtfully, actually looking forward to how Lin Miaomiao would reply.
But I don't know if her "frank" words stimulated Lin Miaomiao.
That night, Lin Miaomiao never sent her a message again.
Before going to sleep, Chen Siqi checked, curled her lips, and smiled.
"Let's go, let's go pick up Yan Liang." At 11:30 at night, Li Zhibai called Lu Yan He, who was still reading in his room.
Lu Yan He nodded and followed Li Zhibai out.
"Are you sleepy?"
"It's okay, not sleepy," Lu Yan He shook his head, "You are the driver, you aren't sleepy, right? As long as you aren't sleepy, it's fine. If you are sleepy, that's a big deal."
"You underestimate me too much. I just can't get up in the morning, not sleep early at night."
Lu Yan He asked: "Do you sleep late when filming on the crew?"
"Very late, often filming big night scenes," Li Zhibai said, "I told you, my crew is very sloppy. Many scenes can't be filmed during the day, so they are all moved to the night."
Li Zhibai drove and took Lu Yan He to the airport together.
"Oh, by the way, send him a message and tell him we are coming to pick him up. I didn't tell him in advance, I forgot."
Lian Bei looked at him and said: "Calling you over temporarily is also to make this scene look real. Thank you for your hard work."
Li Zhibai shook his head, "Arrange what? He didn't even arrange an assistant for him, even though he has already started filming outside on his own."
"What about you?"
"I certainly have one," Li Zhibai said, "I'm going out to work now, and once I travel, at least four bodyguards lead the way."
"Such a big formation?"
"Aren't you?"
"I'm okay, no," Lu Yan He shook his head, "I just have Brother Dong managing all my affairs."
"Then doesn't he have a lot of things to do? Can he manage it alone?"
"I'm not like you, with so many schedules. I'm either on the crew or at school, usually he alone is enough," Lu Yan He said, "For other work, usually the connecting party will prepare it for me."
"That's also true," Li Zhibai nodded, "After all, you aren't as popular as me, you can't experience the trouble of being chased by fans wherever I go."
He said trouble, but his face was full of pride.
Lu Yan He curled his lips.
"Show off, 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 looked at the time and was about to call a ride-hailing car when a message popped up from Lu Yan He: Li Zhibai and I are coming to pick you up, you come out from Gate 3.
Yan Liang was taken aback.
There was already rustling movement in the cabin, and many people behind had already started packing their things, preparing to leave.
The flight attendant had also walked out.
Yan Liang hurriedly turned his head to look outside the porthole.
The night curtain shrouded the fields. The wide apron was illuminated by dotted yellow streetlights.
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 an "Okay," and then replied: I just landed, it will take a while.
Lu Yan He replied: No rush, we still have ten minutes to arrive, there is plenty of time.
And at Zhenhua University, the few people in Lu Yan He's dormitory, who usually sleep at this time, didn't fall asleep tonight.
Xiao Jing, the chatterbox, kept talking about why Jiang Yuqian wasn't coming tomorrow.
Mao Jiayang was excited about attending such a party with many stars and artists for the first time, and also a little nervous.
"I don't know if Lu Yan He's other artist friends are easy to deal with," Xiao Jing suddenly said.
Mao Jiayang was taken aback and asked: "Are you nervous?"
"Not nervous, but I see many people on the internet saying that stars and artists have big tempers and are spoiled by their teams. I'm worried I won't be able to help but scold them."
Mao Jiayang had sweat on his forehead and said: "Then you'd better hold it in, don't embarrass Lu Yan He."
Xiao Jing sighed and said: "That's true."
Mao Jiayang: "So you guys aren't nervous, am I the only one who is a little nervous?"
"Nervous about what?" Xiao Jing asked.
Mao Jiayang said: "There are many stars tomorrow, people who can usually only be seen in the media."
Xiao Jing said: "So what? I'm also from Zhenhua. If you want to see me, you can only see me at Zhenhua."
Mao Jiayang: "..."
Zhou Mukai: "Your mentality is worth learning by everyone."
Xiao Jing: "Are you nervous too?"
"Not nervous, but this is my first time attending such an occasion, I don't know what to do, a bit blank," Zhou Mukai said.
Xiao Jing: "Didn't Yan He say? He prepared an inner venue for us. If you feel uncomfortable or uneasy, then just hurry into the inner venue as soon as you get in."
Zhou Mukai: "What about you?"
"Me? Of course I want to see if the female stars in the lens are really that beautiful."
"Does your girlfriend agree?"
"She wants to see it even more than me," Xiao Jing said.
Mao Jiayang scoffed.
"What are you scoffing at?"
"Looking down on you," Mao Jiayang said.
"Huh?"
"Your eyes can actually accommodate other women besides your girlfriend, I can't stand you."
"Heh."
"Scum."
"How about we go down and have a fight?" Xiao Jing said in a cool tone.
Mao Jiayang didn't speak again.
On the day of Lu Yan He's birthday, Lu Yan He received a large number of birthday blessings.
This moment gave him an illusion that everyone remembered his birthday.
But soon Lu Yan He understood, of course not, it was just because of this birthday party, so many people knew his birthday, so they sent him messages specifically.
Lu Yan He met with Chen Siqi first.
The two of them had lunch at the hotel where the banquet hall was located in the evening.
The hotel manager cordially invited them to stay and asked the chef to cook for them.
And in the afternoon, Lu Yan He discovered that there was actually a professional team responsible for greeting guests and on-site service, not hotel staff.
Chen Ziyan appeared with Lu Qingzhen.
"Happy birthday, Little Lu." Both of them were holding a packaged gift box.
Lu Yan He looked at them in surprise.
"There are gifts too?"
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 already arranged for someone to help you receive gifts, and they will be registered."
Lu Yan He: "Thank you, Sister Ziyan, I just feel that the formation tonight is really a bit big."
"What is this, a small formation, the formation in the future will be bigger and bigger," Chen Ziyan smiled slightly.
Their group checked all the arrangements, especially the two adjacent inner venues.
"Director Luo Yuzhong will also come tonight, I will take him to our room," Chen Ziyan said, "When the time comes, I will ask you to come over and sit for a while, just toast everyone. You don't need to worry about the outer venue. There is a band and performances on site. I will give an opening speech, you express your gratitude to everyone, and then the performance will begin, and we can each manage our own."
When Lu Yan He heard Chen Ziyan say the four words "each manage our own," he just felt that she had an inexplicable playfulness, as if it were intentional.
"Okay," Lu Yan He nodded.
The live band arrived at 4:30 in the afternoon, and there were piano and violin performances.
Starting from 5:30, people arrived one after another.
The banquet hall adopted a buffet mode.
Lu Yan He followed Chen Ziyan to welcome the guests who arrived.
In just one hour, Lu Yan He felt that his face was already stiff from smiling.
Looking at Chen Ziyan again, there was no problem at all, still smiling, receiving everyone with ease.
At 6:30, Li Zhibai and Yan Liang arrived.
As soon as Lu Yan He saw them, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "Why did you just arrive?"
Li Zhibai pointed at Yan Liang and said: "Blame him."
Yan Liang glanced at him and said: "It was clearly him! He forgot to buy you a gift. I said it was fine, but he insisted, and went to buy you a gift temporarily."
Lu Yan He greeted them to hurry to the inner venue.
"I asked you to come to help me greet my classmates and friends. Now only Siqi is inside."
Li Zhibai: "Don't worry, I'm going, the scene will definitely be hot!"
There were more and more people.
Lu Yan He thought to himself, believing Sister Ziyan's evil, this is just an ordinary small party?
He felt like a spinning top spinning constantly.
Everyone wished him with the most sincere tone, and Lu Yan He 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 while greeting each other, chatting and exchanging pleasantries.
Mixing in this line, many people know each other, and those who don't know each other are introduced by others.
Chen Ziyan walked gracefully to the microphone.
Everyone consciously quieted down.
People in the two inner venues also came out.
"Good evening, everyone. I don't think I need to introduce who I am, right? Very welcome everyone to attend Yan He's twentieth birthday party. As Yan He's agent, the past year has been a year that makes me particularly proud, because with the support of everyone present, Yan He has achieved many remarkable results in his nineteenth year and has also won many remarkable honors. And everyone present has also witnessed Yan He's growth over the past year."
Lu Yan He stood under the stage, watching Chen Ziyan speak. At this moment, it seemed as if the whole piece of flowing light and color was flashing in her eyes.
He smiled and looked at him.
Li Zhibai and Yan Liang stood beside him, Li Zhibai hugging Lu Yan He's shoulder, looking proud.
Chen Siqi was also beside him.
She turned her head to look at Lu Yan He. The words Chen Ziyan said stirred up some waves in Chen Siqi's heart. As one of the closest people to Lu Yan He, she knows best how much effort and hardship Lu Yan He has put in over the past year.
"Yan He, tonight is your night, everyone must also really want to hear you speak, come up to the stage."
The whole audience cheered.
At this moment, Lu Yan He even felt a shyness that was more embarrassing than winning an award at the Golden Tripod Awards before.
Probably because everyone here tonight came for him.
That night, he was a guest at the Golden Tripod Awards.
Tonight, he is the host here.
"Wow!" Lu Yan He stood in front of the microphone, looking at everyone, not to say that he was familiar with all of them, but they were all familiar faces, and everyone was looking at him, making him couldn't help but sigh, "Friends who know me know that I am actually a bit shy and socially anxious, and I don't dare to speak in front of so many people, especially with so many seniors and teachers I respect and respect."
He pursed his lips and continued: "I was still talking to one of my good friends, Li Pengfei, a few days ago. If it weren't for holding this birthday party, I wouldn't have realized at all that I was turning twenty. He is not here today because he is attending university in a very far place, but fortunately, there are still many good friends here tonight to accompany me for my birthday. To be honest, this is the first time in my memory that I have celebrated my birthday with the blessings of so many people. In the previous years, my birthdays were spent with Li Zhibai and Yan Liang. Last year, I was in military training and didn't celebrate it at all."
Everyone made kind laughter.
"Twenty is a very strange age for me. I don't know if I have really matured a bit after stepping from the one-digit age into the two-digit age, or if it's actually not that fast. But over the past year, I suddenly felt that time has passed faster. In the senior year of high school, every day from opening my eyes to closing my eyes felt very long, as if I couldn't see the dark, very tired. Over the past year, it hasn't been much more leisurely, but it has passed very happily, probably because I have been doing what I want to do, going to university, acting, running the magazine "Jump Up" with Siqi, and then participating in work like "City Travel Notes" that I like very much. Too lucky, hmm, just by trying a little bit, I can have the opportunity to do what I want to do."
Lu Yan He saw that the eyes of Chen Ziyan, Chen Siqi, Linyu, and others seemed to be glistening with water.
He was stunned.
He couldn't even help but smile, looking at them and asking: "Is what I said so touching? Why do you feel like you are going to shed tears?"
Everyone else present looked at Chen Ziyan and the others.
Chen Ziyan blocked her eyes with one hand, lowered her head, and shook it.
Seeing her like this, Lu Yan He's eyes also felt sour in an instant.
"Okay, I can't continue to speak anymore. I am not recording "Art Life" tonight to move all of you to tears," Lu Yan He said, and the whole audience burst into laughter.
After waiting for the laughter to subside a little, he said: "However, maybe forty or fifty years later, I will stand on the stage of "Art Life". By then, maybe I haven't opened my mouth yet, and the audience under the stage will be moved by me. I hope I am working towards this goal. Thank you, thank you all for your presence tonight, thank you!"
Lu Yan He raised his right hand and waved to everyone.
The whole audience cheered and applauded intensely.
The band also started playing.
The cheerful music awakened the music and dance cells of the whole audience.
Three dancers followed Lu Yan He onto the small circular stage and began to lead everyone to dance with the music.
Those who didn't dance automatically moved to the dining table, making room for those who danced.
Peng Zhixing suddenly appeared on the side of the stage with a microphone, "Dancing friends, let's dance together!"
Li Zhibai and Yan Liang directly took the lead and danced along.
The two of them were professionally trained, and their movements and postures could fully keep up with those on stage.
Lu Yan He was stunned.
He didn't know there was a dancing segment.
However, he had no room to escape. Chen Ziyan directly signaled him to join while dancing.
Lu Yan He shrugged helplessly and had to join in.
A group of people danced for five minutes before the song ended.
Another song was changed, and the music became light and melodious.
Because of the dance just now, the atmosphere in the venue was like being ignited, chatting and laughing with each other.
And those who took their seats also chatted enthusiastically with their friends.
Lu Yan He panted while greeting everyone, walking towards his inner venue.
Luo Yuzhong sat in his seat, ate a piece of beef, and smiled at others at the table: "I think Little Lu is actually suitable to be a speaker."
The director of "Three Mountains," Wang Zhong, nodded, full of emotion, and said: "Young people today are really amazing. Last time I heard him speak at the Golden Tripod Awards, I felt that this child really knew how to speak. Today, I feel even more awesome. I, a person who is decades old, am not as good as him."
"Directors speak through the works they film themselves," Chen Bige said, "I feel ashamed. When I stand on the podium, I am always so excited that my brain is blank and my language logic is chaotic. Compared with Little Lu, I am too chaotic."
"True feelings, not chaotic at all," Luo Yuzhong said.
Chen Bige: "Oh, thank you director for comforting me. I often brush my own award speech, and every time I want to travel back and do it again."
Wang Zhong smiled and said: "Too perfect speeches are not perfect. Little Lu's speech is also not perfect. If you don't reveal your true feelings at such a time, when will you reveal your true feelings?"
Huang Kairen sighed: "When can I reveal my true feelings?"
Others laughed out loud.
"Soon," Luo Yuzhong said, "When you acted in "Golden Age", I discovered that you already understand acting now. You didn't understand it so well before."
Huang Kairen put his hands together to express his gratitude to Luo Yuzhong and said: "Being able to be nominated for the Golden Tripod Awards with "Golden Age" is already a big breakthrough in my acting career."
Luo Yuzhong: "Keep up the good work, you deserve to win a Best Actor."
Huang Kairen smiled and said he would definitely work hard.
Lu Yan He accompanied everyone in his room to eat for a while and introduced his university roommates to others.
Except for Zhou Mukai knowing Linyu, basically, before university and university are two groups of people who haven't seen each other in real life.
Li Zhibai smiled and said: "It's okay, no matter what the relationship is, it's your relationship. We men are all your roommates."
Lu Yan He heard this, and it was really like this.
He nodded with a smile.
He is not very familiar with his roommates' girlfriends either.
Fortunately, Chen Siqi is here.
They were chatting about their own things, and I don't know what they were chatting about, fully focused, not caring about what they were saying at all.
Li Zhibai clicked his tongue and said: "Your dormitory is also quite awesome, all of you got out of singlehood in the first year."
Xiao Jing pointed at Mao Jiayang and said: "Not yet, he just got out of singlehood at the beginning of this semester, the slowest."
Mao Jiayang: "I'm going to break your finger."
Li Xiao suddenly looked over here at this moment.
The fierce look on Mao Jiayang's face instantly faded, and he smiled, "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?"
Li Xiao shook her head, "Nothing."
Lu Yan He had to admit that he was disgusted by the speed at which Mao Jiayang changed his face.
So fawning.
That night, the excitement continued until about ten o'clock before they started to disperse one after another.
Lu Yan He drank a lot of alcohol and sent people away with Chen Ziyan.
When he came back to his senses, only Chen Siqi and Li Zhibai were left.
Chen Ziyan was also a bit high. Although she still looked like she could continue to drink. When her two eyes swept around, she found that there was no one else who needed her to send off with a smiling face, she sat on the chair, put her hand on the back of the chair, and leaned her cheek on it, not knowing whether she was tired or drunk.
"Brother Dong, I'll leave Sister Ziyan to you to send her back," Lu Yan He said to Zou Dong.
Lu Qingzhen suddenly came over at this moment.
"No, no, I'll send her back," Lu Qingzhen said to Lu Yan He with a smile, "She called me over tonight because she was afraid she would lose her memory, so she asked me to finish it for her."
Lu Yan He knows that Lu Qingzhen and Chen Ziyan are very good best friends.
He asked: "Sister Qingzhen, can you do it alone? How about letting Brother Dong send you over, and I will go back with Li Zhibai and the others."
Lu Qingzhen heard this, thought for a moment, and nodded, "Okay, then Zou Dong, you send us."
Zou Dong nodded.
Lu Yan He was definitely going back to Ziyuanqiao tonight.
After he sent Chen Ziyan and the others away, he turned to look at Chen Siqi.
"Where are you staying tonight?"
Chen Siqi said: "I'll just open a room here and sleep for one night, and go back to Jiangguang tomorrow morning."
Lu Yan He heard this and said: "Then I will accompany you here too."
Chen Siqi looked over, "Why, do you still want to sleep in the same room as me?"
Lu Yan He's cheeks turned red instantly, and he shook his head, "No, I'll just open a room next to you."
Chen Siqi: "Then what's the point, you go back to yours."
Lu Yan He said: "It's too... unsafe for you to stay in a hotel here alone."
"What's unsafe about this? I stay in hotels alone several times a month," Chen Siqi looked at Lu Yan He carefully and asked: "Did you drink too much today? Why are you so nagging?"
Lu Yan He: "..."
Li Zhibai sighed.
"What's wrong?"
"We really can only sleep here tonight, let's open a room together," Li Zhibai suddenly said.
"Ah?" Lu Yan He was taken aback, "What's wrong?"
Li Zhibai: "I forgot that I also drank a glass of wine today, I can't drive."
Yan Liang pursed his lips and smiled, saying: "What a pity, I can't drive."
Lu Yan He looked at them blankly.
Chen Siqi looked at them, speechless: "..."
Li Zhibai pushed Lu Yan He, "What are you still standing there for, hurry up and open a room!"
Huang Kairen went upstairs first, followed by Xin Zixing.
There was an interval of about ten minutes.
When Xin Zixing confirmed that there was no one else in the corridor, she sent a message to Huang Kairen, telling him that he could come out of the elevator.
Huang Kairen wore a mask and a duck-tongue cap, walked down with his head down, and knocked on the door of Xin Zixing's room.
Xin Zixing opened the door, let him in, and closed the door immediately.
Huang Kairen took off his mask and hat and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Too many people came tonight," he said to Xin Zixing.
Xin Zixing nodded and said: "Yan He is very popular."
"He is the most comfortable young artist I have seen in so many years," Huang Kairen saw Xin Zixing turn around to charge her phone, followed her, hugged Xin Zixing from behind, buried his head in Xin Zixing's neck, and smelled it, "Hmm? You changed shampoo? Haven't smelled this scent before."
"You brought it for me last time," Xin Zixing said, "You said you bought it in Paris."
Huang Kairen reacted immediately, "Oh, I remember, forgot."
Xin Zixing: "Don't move your hands and feet now, I'm sweaty."
"Where is the sweat."
"I have."
"I don't mind."
"I mind it myself, it's uncomfortable," Xin Zixing glared at him, "Every time we meet, you are like a monkey."
Huang Kairen smiled and said: "Then how often do we meet? It's already hard to have a chance to be together."
Xin Zixing said: "Transform well, stand firm as soon as possible. I don't want to meet you secretly like this in two or three years, like an affair."
Huang Kairen: "Sigh, I thought there was hope for the Golden Tripod Awards, but I didn't expect to run into a teacher Liu Teli who is harder to win."
Xin Zixing said: "What play are you going to act in later, have you thought about it?"
Huang Kairen shook his head, "Still looking at the script. This time "Golden Age" did help me open the door to serious dramas. The scripts handed over are no longer those idol dramas."
Xin Zixing said: "You can go ask Yan He."
"Ask Yan He?" Huang Kairen looked puzzled, "Ask him for what?"
Xin Zixing said: "He is writing a script."
"Ah?" Huang Kairen was stunned for a moment, "I know he is writing a script. Isn't he always learning? Saying he wants to write a script himself later."
"He has already written several scripts," Xin Zixing sighed, "I shouldn't have told you, people didn't make this public, don't let it slip. Just pretend you don't know, haven't heard. He wrote several movie scripts, one was taken by Jia Long and is being prepared, and the other two were taken by Chen Bige and are being modified. You can imagine how good the script he wrote is."
Huang Kairen stared in disbelief.
"Are you serious?"
"Really," Xin Zixing said, "If it weren't for the fact that I chat with Chen Siqi a lot and know it from her, this news has been kept secret and hasn't spread. Maybe you can chat with Yan He and see if he has a script suitable for you."
Huang Kairen fell into deep thought and doubt.
For Huang Kairen, what he lacks most at this stage is a good script and a good team.
Good scripts are held by film and television companies in their own hands and often won't come to find Huang Kairen.
Even if Huang Kairen is popular, that's just popularity.
In comparison, of course, there are also actors who are very popular and have good acting skills.
Huang Kairen started to reverse his impression in the industry, audience, and market from the play "Golden Age"—he was not an actor known for his acting skills before.
Xin Zixing said: "Yan He is a very talented person, you will definitely not suffer if you get along well with him."
"Of course I am willing to get along well with him, even if he doesn't have these talents, I am willing. Acting in "Golden Age" with him, I had a good impression of him. It's rare to have someone who is hardworking, self-disciplined, and not twisted. It's just that if I suddenly ask him for a script, I don't know how to open my mouth," Huang Kairen sat on the bed and scratched his head.
Xin Zixing: "You can just pretend to ask jokingly. As long as he has a story suitable for you, he may not be unwilling to help you write one."
Huang Kairen nodded.
"Okay."
Xin Zixing: "Of course, you can also change your thinking. If the competition in the Best Actor track is great, you might as well play a supporting role in a big director's play and compete in the Best Supporting Actor track."
Huang Kairen: "How could my agent agree."
"That's your agent being too short-sighted," Xin Zixing said.
"It's not short-sighted, it's that no one dares to bet the future on an ethereal award," Huang Kairen explained.
Xin Zixing looked at him and said: "Then isn't that me? You don't win an award, your status is unstable. If your status is unstable, we can only keep this underground relationship, cannot be public. I want to stand by your side openly and tell my family and friends that you are my boyfriend."
Huang Kairen looked at Xin Zixing and was slightly startled.
Xin Zixing looked at him, looking down, one second, two seconds, she bent down and kissed Huang Kairen's mouth.
Huang Kairen suddenly turned over and pressed Xin Zixing under him.
He invaded Xin Zixing's lips and neck, and finally whispered in her ear with a rough voice with nasal breath: "Thirty years old, wait until I am thirty years old, no matter if I win an award or not, I will openly hold your hand and tell everyone that you are my girlfriend."
Xin Zixing looked at the patterns on the ceiling with full eyes and breathed softly.
The twentieth birthday passed in a night that was hard to sleep.
Lu Yan He got up early in the morning.
Chen Siqi's flight was at ten o'clock in the morning, and she had to leave at 7:30, so Lu Yan He and Chen Siqi agreed to go downstairs to the restaurant for breakfast at seven o'clock.
He waited for her at the door of Chen Siqi's room.
Not long after, the door of a room in front opened.
A familiar figure came out, wearing a duck-tongue cap and a mask.
When he walked closer, Lu Yan He shouted "Brother Huang" in surprise.
Huang Kairen had been walking with his head down. He was startled by his shout. When he looked up and found it was Lu Yan He, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yan He."
"Brother Huang, did you also sleep here last night?" Lu Yan He asked.
Huang Kairen nodded and said: "Too tired, so I just rested here. You are?"
"I'm waiting for someone," Lu Yan He said, "Are you leaving?"
"Yeah," Huang Kairen nodded, "The car is already waiting for me downstairs, I'm leaving first."
"Bye, thank you Brother Huang," Lu Yan He said.
Huang Kairen waved his hand, "What are you being polite for, let's find another chance to cooperate later. Aren't you writing a script? When will you write a script for us two, I'll come and act for you."
Lu Yan He was flattered, "Ah? Okay, okay, then I'll go write it."
Huang Kairen nodded and left.
Lu Yan He was very surprised.
How come Huang Kairen also took the initiative to mention the script to him? Does everyone trust him so much?
He is a fake screenwriter after all, and no script has officially met everyone yet.
At this time, Chen Siqi came out.
Lu Yan He threw this matter behind his head and didn't think about it anymore.
Lu Yan He increasingly feels that having the identity of co-editing "Jump Up" with Chen Siqi is a good thing.
No need to avoid appearing together in front of others.
Of course, the main reason is that Lu Yan He doesn't care at all whether others have discovered that he and Chen Siqi are dating.
It doesn't matter if they are together.
It's just that according to Chen Ziyan, he is only twenty years old now, and many fans are young female fans who have a crush and admiration for him. If he makes his relationship public at this time, and Chen Siqi is at school, it is easy to be affected, so he didn't think about making it public actively.
Lu Yan He asked Chen Siqi: "Then will you come back for National Day?"
"Depends on whether there is anything," Chen Siqi said, "The response to the summer special issue is very good, and the sales of our August issue have also increased. We are preparing for the winter special issue in December, a bunch of things."
Lu Yan He nodded and said: "Then if you don't come back for National Day, I have no work, I will go to Jiangguang to find you."
"Okay," Chen Siqi nodded.
They sat in the hotel restaurant for breakfast together. After a while, Lu Yan He suddenly saw a familiar figure walk in.
"Hmm? Did Sister Zixing also stay in the hotel last night?" Lu Yan He was a bit puzzled.
Chen Siqi looked in the direction of his gaze, "What's wrong?"
Lu Yan He said: "Nothing."
Chen Siqi: "Are those people who came to your birthday party yesterday all people you have worked with?"
"Yeah," Lu Yan He nodded.
"No wonder, I rarely see Sister Ziyan so comprehensive, entertaining everyone one by one without missing anyone," Chen Siqi said, "Before, she usually only managed the most critical few people."
Lu Yan He: "People were all invited by her, of course they are all people she wants to entertain, otherwise she wouldn't invite them."
Chen Siqi nodded.
At this time, Xin Zixing also saw them.
Her face changed instantly, and she subconsciously wanted to leave, but thinking that she didn't need to be guilty, Huang Kairen had already left.
She restored her complexion, carried the tray over, and greeted them.
"Morning, why are you up so early?"
Lu Yan He said: "Siqi is going to catch a flight."
"So that's how it is," Xin Zixing nodded, "I'm going to sit by the window."
"Hmm."
Lu Yan He watched Xin Zixing leave and suddenly heard Chen Siqi say "Eh."
Lu Yan He asked: "What's wrong?"
Chen Siqi said: "Look at Sister Zixing's neck."
Lu Yan He heard this and looked in the direction of Chen Siqi's gaze.
On the back of Xin Zixing's neck, there was a very obvious red mark.
Lu Yan He was puzzled for a moment, and then reacted.
"Sister Zixing... is she not single?"
Chen Siqi shook her head: "Don't know, but it's none of our business, don't be nosy."
Lu Yan He nodded puzzledly and withdrew his gaze.
Does Sister Zixing have a boyfriend? He also deals with Xin Zixing a lot, but in his impression, he has never heard her mention her boyfriend.
Who is it?
