Chapter 96

Liu Yifei went to Japan after finishing *The Return of the Condor Heroes* in October. For the first month or so, she would often send text messages to Chen Nuo, talking about some things she saw and heard in Japan, but recently, text contact had become less frequent.

Chen Nuo thought it was because the distance had made their newly familiar relationship distant. He didn't expect that as soon as Liu Yifei met him at school, she would say, "Chen Nuo, I'm going to the United States with you, I'm not going to Japan anymore."

Chen Nuo was now used to her occasional shocking remarks and wouldn't take them seriously at all. He smiled and said, "Did you have another argument with your mother?"

"Do you know, she actually started confiscating my phone now!" Liu Yifei widened her large, bright eyes and looked at Chen Nuo without blinking, as if she were saying, do you dare believe there is such a thing in the world?

Chen Nuo was also quite surprised and asked, "Why?"

Liu Yifei had a pouting expression and shook her head, saying, "She said I send you too many text messages. My god, Chen Nuo, do you think we send too many text messages? We clearly only say four or five sentences to each other every day, right?"

Chen Nuo nodded slowly and said, "To say something disrespectful, Auntie Liu is a bit excessive this time."

Liu Yifei seemed to have found a soulmate and shouted, "You think so too, right? Over there, I have to learn to sing and dance every day, it's so tiring and hard, I just occasionally complain to you via text, and she actually confiscated my phone and only allows me to use it for 10 minutes before I sleep."

Speaking of this, Liu Yifei suddenly looked a bit angry: "By the way, why don't you reply to my texts?"

Chen Nuo remembered. Indeed, sometimes when he woke up in the morning, he would see text messages Liu Yifei sent late at night at eleven or twelve o'clock. The content of the messages was often "Tired." "So tired." "Pain." "Leg pain."

Two characters at the longest, one character at the shortest; how was he supposed to reply to that? He usually just looked at them and that was it.

Chen Nuo looked left and right and said, "How about we change places to talk? Look, everyone is watching us."

It wasn't just to change the subject, but he discovered that standing together with Liu Yifei was really eye-catching. Even at the Film Academy.

Neither of them wore masks, and the meeting place was right under the pyramid at the school. Although it was still class time, there were quite a few students coming and going.

When a small portion of students saw them, their gazes instantly locked on. No matter where their feet walked, even if their heads turned ninety degrees, their eyes didn't move at all. Although other students would only look for a few glances, after walking a distance, they would always turn back to look, without exception.

What Chen Nuo hadn't realized was that he and Liu Yifei had been standing here talking for five minutes, and the Film Academy's BBS forum had already exploded.

On one side of the pyramid was the Film Academy's student apartment. Wei Xu was a sophomore in the animation department. He had no class this morning, woke up after 10 o'clock, and prepared to go to the library to study after washing up.

When he saw Liu Yifei standing under the pyramid waiting for someone, he was brushing his teeth on the balcony. With a mouthful of water, he forgot to spit it out and stared at her without blinking.

Then, when Chen Nuo appeared and walked toward Liu Yifei, he swallowed the water with a gulp.

Wei Xu was a Jin Yong fan, and his favorite was the book *The Return of the Condor Heroes*. He had saved over three hundred various photos of the two people, Li Xiaolong Maiden Liu Yifei and Yang Guo Chen Nuo, on his computer.

After drinking a mouthful of fragrant, sweet, bubbly mint water, Wei Xu immediately returned to his dorm.

His warrior character was idling in Ironforge; the computer was on 24 hours a day. It only took him 5 seconds to open the browser and log into the internal BBS of the Beijing Film Academy, and he immediately posted a thread.

The title was "Don't say I didn't tell you, CN and LYF are currently having a secret rendezvous under the pyramid."

There was only a title, and the content of the post was two English letters: RT.

The post had been up for 30 seconds when it already had a flaming tag, and it was pinned by the BBS moderator within a minute. The comments below were increasing almost by the second.

At first, they were all uniform: "OP is a good person, peace for a lifetime."

It wasn't until the tenth or so comment that there was a different reply.

Fish-Flavored Shredded Pork: "With my 8.0 vision, I saw it long ago, I just didn't tell you guys."

Two minutes later, Wei Xu's post was outdated.

Because people had already started uploading photos. Looking at the angle of the photos, they were taken from the balcony of a dorm room on this side. The lens and camera used were very good. Although the faces weren't particularly clear, the features could already be identified.

The title of the post was: "【Welfare Post】 On-site photos of Chen Nuo secretly meeting Liu Yifei (looks like they are kissing)"

In less than 10 seconds, his post jumped to become super hot on the forum.

The comments below this post were relatively more varied compared to Wei Xu's previous post.

"OP is a clickbaiter. Kissing my ass. But why do I feel so unhappy seeing them standing together?"

"I want to see the kissing, OP, I sent you a private message."

"If there's no affair between these two, I'll gouge out my own eyes."

"Liu Yifei's expression is indeed different from usual, I'm her classmate, I know."

"The person above is not, I am. I don't feel it's different, Liu Yifei couldn't possibly like Chen Nuo."

"Hehe, I agree with the person above, why would Liu Yifei have crooked thoughts about Chen Nuo?"

"The person above is correct."

"The two above are both farting, why does Chen Nuo deserve Liu Yifei? Just won a Best Actor award by luck, hilarious."

"The person above is a pure joke, Liu Yifei, she..."

This comment hadn't finished being typed before it was deleted, and no one knew why.

But this thread became more and more crooked from then on.

Really don't want to change my name: "Let me tell you the truth, Chen Nuo and Liu Yifei have long confirmed their relationship, and it will be officially announced tomorrow. What's a kiss, Liu Yifei's belly can't be hidden for long. I know Liu Yifei too well, I could tell at a glance that her belly has changed."

Bingo Face: "Hehe, I bet 1 million, Chen Nuo is going to the US to film soon, they are just meeting a friend, anyone dare to bet?"

I Love Cuiyan: "If you ask me, what's so great about Liu Yifei? I really can't stand her being hyped up like this. Is she better looking than Cuiyan?"

Shangcheng Guizang: "Is the person still there? I'm preparing to go over and take a look. A pair of dogs, I'll chop them into four pieces with one sword."

realskypower: "Did the person above think they are Miyamoto Musashi? What era is this, still using a sword. Watch me use vacuum power to suck these two kissers to death."

The time and place of the meeting were determined by Chen Nuo and Liu Yifei over the phone last night.

At the time, he didn't think that much. After all, this was the Film Academy where stars were as common as dogs and beauties walked everywhere. When he went to class, walking on campus, he would at most be looked at a few more times.

However, he ignored that *Perhaps Love* hadn't been showing for long, and he had ushered in a new peak of popularity and recognition in the Mainland. Thanks to those millions of viewers, if Andy Lau's public recognition was 100 points, he now had about 4 points. After *The Mute* was shown, it was at most 1 point, and before it was shown, he was purely a passerby.

Secondly, Zhang Jizhong and the others, in order to maintain the heat, had been hyping the scandal between Li Xiaolong Maiden and Yang Guo for over half a year. Many people across the country who were paying attention to this play thought that it was possible for the two of them to have developed feelings because of the play.

Now, suddenly discovering that these two were meeting openly in broad daylight, anyone would suspect if there was some truth to it.

For example, was it really about to be officially announced?
