Chapter 338: Seeing Xu Junhuan Again

'Cai Cai Yu' was exceptionally proactive and enthusiastic from the start, and those who didn't know better would think they had a deep personal friendship.

But in reality, their personal friendship was basically zero, limited to greeting each other when they met at events like this.

Xu Junhuan maintained his elegance and politeness with a slight smile: "That would be great. You have tens of millions of fans across the web. If you're willing to help promote it, it will definitely have a very good effect. Thank you!"

Hearing Xu Junhuan personally affirm her value, 'Cai Cai Yu' felt a little joy: "Oh, Brother Junhuan, you don't need to be so polite. Because I'm both a fan of the original book and a fan of yours, I was already looking forward to this drama. You are the most perfect male lead in my heart. Although this is a female-led drama, I think if you play the male lead, you definitely won't be inferior to the female lead."

Xu Junhuan knew he should just listen to such words and not take them too seriously.

But 'Cai Cai Yu's' liking for him was genuine. After a flurry of praise, 'Cai Cai Yu' blinked her eyes coquettishly: "Brother Junhuan, can we take a photo together? We've met several times, but we've never had the chance to take a picture together! Could you just satisfy this little wish of a fan?"

Although Xu Junhuan felt a bit resistant, he didn't refuse her, only saying: "How about we wait until the event is over and everyone takes a group photo?"

Because such events always had a photo session at the end, with professional photographers taking pictures for them.

"Oh, that's too official. Let's just take one with my phone, okay? It'll be quick." 'Cai Cai Yu' insisted, acting spoiled.

Only through a phone lens could it look more intimate.

Xu Junhuan nodded helplessly.

Seeing this, 'Cai Cai Yu' instantly became joyful and turned to find her assistant, because her phone was with the assistant, but the assistant was nowhere to be found at this moment.

Xu Junhuan had been observing the movement on Shen Ci's side with his peripheral vision, but he noticed that she suddenly stood up. He felt anxious, fearing Shen Ci would leave, so he ignored 'Cai Cai Yu' and quickly walked toward Shen Ci's direction.

"Eh? Brother Junhuan~!"

'Cai Cai Yu' looked confused, and seeing Xu Junhuan walk away without looking back, she stomped her feet in frustration.

Shen Ci wasn't leaving; there was a light above that spot that was very dazzling, and she just wanted to stand up and sit on the other side of Pili.

However, before she could sit down, Xu Junhuan had already stood before her with his wine glass, looking refined: "Hi, we meet again."

Shen Ci turned her head to look at him. For some reason, she couldn't help but smile as the scene of their first meeting flashed through her mind.

She teased: "You wouldn't mistake me for a stalker fan who snuck into this event just for you today, would you?"

One sentence made Xu Junhuan look embarrassed, but upon reflection, she still remembered the details of their first meeting, which made him happy.

"Isn't that the case?" Xu Junhuan joked as well, making Shen Ci chuckle.

Pili sat on the side, tilting her head and looking at the two in front of her with a confused expression, frowning slightly.

Then she heard Xu Junhuan say: "But every time I meet you, it's in unexpected settings—the film crew in Hengdian, and today's event."

"And the hotel room!"

Pili: "?!?!"

She pricked up her ears without changing her expression.

Xu Junhuan's handsome face flushed red: "What? Are you still holding a grudge?"

Shen Ci raised an eyebrow: "Of course. The person involved was my mother, shouldn't I hold a grudge?"

"Then I solemnly apologize to you again. I truly feel very sorry for my rudeness to your mother that day. I'm sorry."

Xu Junhuan said this from the bottom of his heart. In fact, that incident had affected him for a long time afterward. Perhaps Shen Ci was part of the reason, but he also genuinely believed his actions at the time were very inappropriate.

Seeing him so serious, even more sincere than his apology that day, Shen Ci couldn't help but smile: "I was just joking with you. It's been so long since that happened; even if I was angry at the time, it would have faded long ago."

The person in front of her was a top-tier celebrity; if his fans found out about this, wouldn't they swallow her alive?

"I'm glad you're not angry anymore."

The two looked at each other for a moment, and the atmosphere was a little strange.

Shen Ci then remembered Pili was still beside her, so she hurriedly said: "This is my best friend, Jin Pili."

A second ago, Pili was still pricking up her ears, trying to hear some gossip about Aci and the celebrity to sell to Lianxing later, but the next second she was pulled in front of the celebrity by Shen Ci.

Xu Junhuan's fame was at a level that even Pili, who didn't follow celebrities, could recognize.

So when Xu Junhuan reached out his hand and politely said hello, Pili blurted out: "I know you, Xu, Xu Jun, Jun..."

"Huan!" Xu Junhuan reminded her softly, seeing she was struggling.

Pili nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes, Xu Huanjun!"

Shen Ci: "Xu Junhuan!"

Pili: "Yes, yes, yes, Xu Junhuan!"

The two shook hands, and Pili was so embarrassed her toes were curling inside her high heels.

Shen Ci stood by, holding back her laughter as she explained: "Don't mind her. My best friend doesn't follow the entertainment industry at all. It's already not easy for her to know two characters of your name, which proves you really are very famous!"

Xu Junhuan was left between laughter and tears: "So I should be happy about that?"

"Of course!"

Pili nudged Shen Ci with her elbow, begging her to shut up!

Just then, 'Cai Cai Yu', who had found her assistant and retrieved her phone, ran over. Completely ignoring that Xu Junhuan was chatting with Shen Ci, she leaned in and grabbed Xu Junhuan: "Brother Junhuan, I found my phone, let's take a photo!"

As she spoke, she cast an unkind glance at Shen Ci and Pili, and while pulling Xu Junhuan, she obviously took a few steps back, as if deliberately trying to distance herself from them.

Xu Junhuan realized what was happening and discreetly pulled his hand away, looking at Shen Ci with some embarrassment. Shen Ci, seeing that the other party had a friend over, didn't mind and pulled Pili to sit down to continue eating.

He felt a bit disappointed.

"Brother Junhuan, look at the camera!"

Xu Junhuan turned his head, and 'Cai Cai Yu' had already pursed her lips toward his face. As the shutter button was pressed, the photo was taken with him looking at the lens and her looking at him with slightly pursed lips.

Although she didn't actually kiss his cheek, the photo looked overly intimate.

Xu Junhuan hurriedly said: "Cai Cai, this is a bit too intimate..."

"Is it? It's just a pose for a photo. I'm used to it. Do you mind, Brother Junhuan?"

Xu Junhuan's expression darkened. Of course he minded!
