Chapter 567
Lu Han: This is my girlfriend
……
……
"I hope you get better... I hope you get better..."
The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.
"You mean I'm the one who wants him to turn bad?!"
Da Mimi's pretty face twitched slightly, and her fingers unconsciously increased the pressure.
She pinched Lin Yufen, who was squinting and enjoying himself, until he cried out in pain.
"You brat, are you going to kill me?!"
Lin Yufen suddenly opened her eyes, wincing in pain. She slapped Yang Mi's hand away and rubbed her reddened shoulder. "My old bones can't take your abuse!"
The commotion made Gu Qing and Liu Shishi turn around to check.
"Stop pinching, stop pinching, go away, go away."
Lin Yu waved her hand dismissively, like shooing away a fly, and glared at Yang Mi with annoyance.
Then he turned to look at Gu Qing, his voice regaining its directorial authority, "Are you done yet, Xiao Gu?"
"Go, little brother, good luck!"
Liu Shishi dusted off Gu Qing's collar, gave him a sweet smile, and clenched her fist in encouragement. Her smile was like the spring sunshine, bright but not dazzling.
"Here you are, Director."
Gu Qing nodded to her, then turned and went back to prepare.
"Put more water on my hair. I'm soaking in a water dungeon, not a foot bath."
Da Mimi stayed by the water dungeon again, and asked the staff to take a basin and sprinkle more water on her hair.
She lowered her head slightly, water droplets dripping from the ends of her hair, shimmering in the light.
A barely perceptible sneer played at the corners of her lips.
The secret weapon is ready.
"I'll make you better! I'll make you better!"
Da Mimi cursed inwardly, "I'll smear it all over your face later!"
……
"Come on, second shot, 321 action!"
Start the clapping process.
"Are there any disciples of Kunlun Mountain inside the water prison?"
"Lord Mo Yuan, have you been instigated by someone? How come there is one of your disciples in my water prison?"
"..."
"Get out of the way!"
With a loud "whoosh," Da Mimi forcefully flicked her braid—not a flick, but a lash, a lash filled with resentment and exhilaration.
"Snapped--"
Her forehead pressed heavily against her chest, and her hair, damp with moisture, came undone, splashing water droplets.
A few drops splashed onto Gu Qing's forehead, nose, and even eyelashes, leaving glistening water droplets.
"Hehe, what do you think of my secret weapon?"
Da Mimi felt smug, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
She immediately tensed her slender arms, preparing to grit her teeth and withstand the brat's retaliation.
Come on, pinch her, she's ready.
Can--
"Seventeen...are you alright?"
Yang Mi felt a gentle, warm force on her arms, which were still aching slightly after the shoot.
It's not pinching, it's supporting, it's protecting.
A soft whisper came from above, tinged with concern and unease.
The voice was very soft and gentle, as if afraid of waking something.
"No...it's nothing, but we were flooded a few times."
Da Mimi was slightly dazed, raised her pretty face, and after a moment of surprise, she realized what was happening and hurriedly continued with her lines.
Wait a minute, why isn't this brat playing by the rules?
Is he planning to wait until I let my guard down before pinching me suddenly?
Da Mimi was on high alert, her mind racing.
as predicted,
The next second, she immediately felt the hands on her arms move away.
One hand gently held her waist, while the other, a long, warm hand, rested on the top of her damp hair.
"Great, great, this is exactly what I've been waiting for!"
Da Mimi was focused and concentrated, her tightly closed eyebrows trembling slightly, she was ready.
Who would have thought,
The hand rested on the top of her head, gently comforting her and trying to dispel her unease, without making any further movements.
"Little Seventeen, you've really improved a lot tonight."
Gu Qing spoke slowly and softly. Compared to her previous feigned affection in her eyes, her emotions now were far more complex.
A soft sigh,
There was relief at Si Yin's resilience, unbearable sorrow at her suffering in the water dungeon, and self-reproach for failing to protect her disciple and fulfill her responsibility as a master.
"Master, I still want to drink peach blossom wine, and I still want to celebrate my birthday..."
Da Mimi doesn't believe in superstitions.
Taking advantage of her fainting spell, she mustered all her strength and smashed a headbutt into Gu Qing's chest.
I refuse to believe you can tolerate this!
A muffled thud was heard clearly on the quiet film set.
"...Seventeen?"
Gu Qingtong's pupils widened slightly, his eyelashes trembled, and he looked at the girl in his arms, gently protecting her forehead with his hand.
He turned his head to look outside the water prison, his usually indifferent eyes shifting from anger to cold, and then back to gentleness.
The emotional shifts were natural and smooth.
along with,
Gu Qing bent his knees slightly and slowly picked up the unconscious girl.
"Click! Not bad, not bad, this one is good, let's keep one."
Lin Yufen then realized it was to her liking.
She clapped her hands in satisfaction, her smile now more genuine.
Immediately,
She then yelled at the props team, "Use less water next time! Didn't you see the water droplets on Mimi's hair that almost got into Xiao Gu's eyes?"
The props team lowered their heads in grievance and dared not speak.
"He's really not going to pinch me? What... what is he doing?"
Nestled in his arms, Yang Mi was still in a daze. Her eyelashes trembled, her lips pursed repeatedly, and her mind was like a stuck machine, unable to process what she was seeing.
Before she could finish her wild thoughts,
Gu Qing bent down slightly, the arc was small, and it could even be described as subtle—safely setting her down.
Then, he walked away without looking back.
He approached Liu Shishi and began to speak with a smile, "Sister Shishi, how was my performance this time?"
"Yes, yes, you acted very well. This time, little brother, your eyes were just right."
When Liu Shishi saw it, she felt quite sad.
Although she was the one who made Gu Qingfang act, seeing his gentle behavior towards Yang Mi on screen still made her feel jealous and uncomfortable.
Fortunately,
When he saw Gu Qing, after filming wrapped, leave Yang Mi without a second thought, come to his side with a smile, and look like she wanted praise,
Liu Shishi felt happy both physically and mentally.
That slight sourness was completely washed away by the sweetness.
This is just a girl's nature.
It's not that I'm petty or jealous, but rather—"My people can only be good to me."
A very strong possessiveness.
Her possessiveness was not overt, but hidden in her eyes and in those moments when she wanted to say something but couldn't.
"Little brother, do you know how beautiful that was just now?"
Liu Shishi smiled and gestured happily, drawing arcs in the air with her hands. "Especially when the water droplets brushed against your eyelashes and nose, it was so cool! It had such a beautiful, manga-like feel to it."
"If I were the little girl in front of the screen, I would definitely cover my face and scream."
"Then why didn't you scream?"
Gu Qing asked deliberately, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.
"Ahhh, Master Mo Yuan, you're so handsome~"
Upon hearing this, Liu Shishi blushed and imitated him for a moment, completely unconcerned about her image.
However, after learning it...
She immediately looked around shyly, then tugged at Gu Qing's sleeve, "Is that alright? Is that alright?"
Yang Mi glanced at the scene from a distance, closed her eyes, and let the props team fix her makeup, not wanting to say anything.
I don't want to see, I don't want to hear, I don't want to think.
I'm not jealous, I'm not jealous at all!
the other side,
After a brief chat, Gu Qing, not wanting to delay the filming time, returned to the shooting location and handed the makeup artist over to wipe the water off her face.
"Cough cough..."
Gu Qing couldn't help but cough lightly twice and pat her chest twice to catch her breath.
It really does hurt a bit...
Could it be that Yang Mi has practiced this hairstyle?
How can it be so iron-hard!
not far away,
Da Mimi was touching up her makeup only two or three meters away from Gu Qing.
Hearing the soft cough, her eyelashes fluttered, she opened her eyes in surprise, stole a glance, snorted softly, and looked slightly smug.
I thought you really weren't in pain.
She deliberately turned her head to the side, wanting to provoke Gu Qing and see her glare at her in anger and embarrassment.
But then they discovered—
The moment their eyes met, Gu Qing paused slightly, turned her head, and exchanged glances with Liu Shishi outside the film set!
Da Mimi found herself unable to laugh anymore.
When the third take began,
When Gu Qing came to the water dungeon and hugged her again, Da Mimi hit her on the head again, but found that the hand supporting her waist and hair was still so gentle.
"Boring...so boring..."
She felt a sense of emptiness and a desire to cry.
She realized her own immaturity and pettiness, only to find that Gu Qing wasn't bothering her at all.
That feeling was like punching cotton, like throwing a punch at the air, like a person performing a one-man show.
Anxious about gains and losses.
When Da Mimi lay obediently in Gu Qing's arms, without making any further moves—
"Cut! That's a good take. Get ready to film the next scene."
Lin Yufen, satisfied, called "cut."
The afternoon passed quickly.
What surprised Lin Yufen the most was that Gu Qing and Da Mimi's filming went very smoothly with very few NGs.
Both of them, upon hearing that filming was about to begin, displayed a charming and adorable yet steady and doting demeanor, perfectly capturing the essence of their roles.
But once the "cut" is given,
The two of them became like strangers, as if neither of them knew the other.
That distance was greater than that between strangers.
As for Liu Shishi, she simply watched quietly in front of the monitor, like a serene orchid.
She would occasionally hold up her phone, a faint smile on her lips, and quietly take a few photos and videos of Gu Qingqing, without disturbing the order on set at all.
Before I knew it, it was past seven o'clock in the evening.
"Cut! That's a wrap! Everyone come and get the milk tea that Teacher Shishi gave us. Everyone gets one, even the extras."
Lin Yufen held the walkie-talkie, rubbing his lower back with one hand, and spoke with a smile.
"Oh, thank you, Teacher Shishi!"
"Teacher Shishi is beautiful and elegant, and she and Teacher Gu Qing are a perfect match."
"A handsome man and a beautiful woman? I think they're a match made in heaven!"
There were plenty of people in the crew who were good at reading people's expressions and were glib-tongued, and they all cheered and egged them on.
The sounds came in waves, one after another, like a tidal wave.
Liu Shishi's ears turned slightly red, and she lowered her head slightly, covering her forehead with her jade-like hand, her shyness tinged with sweetness.
She couldn't suppress the smile on her face, feeling that the staff in her brother's film crew were incredibly enthusiastic.
But people's joys and sorrows are not shared.
"You think you can be bought off with just one cup of milk tea? How many cups have I bought you?!"
"Why haven't I heard you say that about me?!"
Exhausted, Da Mimi was furious at the jeering crowd.
Her peach blossom eyes widened, and her chest heaved violently, like a cat with its fur standing on end.
Alright, alright, from now on, you're not allowed to drink a single drop!
"I'm not inviting you!"
She harbored deep resentment.
"Come on, Xiao Gu, Shi Shi, let's go get something to eat."
Lin Yufen didn't forget to call out, then glanced at Da Mimi with a dark face, "Mimi, come and have a meal together, I've made a reservation at a restaurant."
"Director, I'm too tired. I want to go back and rest. Maybe next time."
Da Mimi glanced at Liu Shishi, who was mixed in with the working crowd.
She was gently helping Gu Qing take off his costume, her movements tender and virtuous, like a wife.
Looking at her clumsy assistant beside her, she suddenly felt too tired to cause any more trouble.
It's boring...it's really boring... She wanted to go back to sleep.
"Alright, go back and get some rest."
Lin Yufen did not insist.
that's it,
My friend, all alone, embarked on her journey back to the hotel by herself.
"Oh right, where's the blanket?!"
Halfway through the drive, Yang Mi, who had been staring blankly out the window, suddenly sat up straight, nearly scaring her PTSD-stricken assistant to tears.
Before the assistant could explain—
"Never mind... he won't be sleeping in the RV tonight anyway."
Yang Mi leaned against the window again, lost in thought and whispering, her voice so soft it was like a dream, "Have him wash it clean before bringing it to me, otherwise... it's filthy..."
The city lights outside the car window were dazzling, and the traffic flowed like a river.
Her face was reflected in the glass, blurry and forlorn.
……
Silent all night.
The following day at noon, Liu Shishi, having recovered, reluctantly bid farewell to Gu Qing and went to attend to her work.
The Tang people of today are in a much better situation than they were during this period, but it is still very limited.
The company's market value of 30 billion yuan is entirely supported by Lao Hu and Liu Shishi.
The rest of the artists under its management have either left or scattered. Apart from Da Xi, who is currently involved in a lawsuit, the only female artists whose names can be recognized are Gulnazar and Chen Yao.
To this day, her most representative work, in the public eye, is still "Legend of Nine Tails Fox," which she co-starred in with Gu Qing.
Naza fared even worse. The disastrous failure and critical reception of "Fighter of the Destiny" not only resulted in a significant loss for Tangren Media's investment but also dashed her hopes for further success.
There is no indication that anyone will be able to replace Liu Shishi.
She could only go through a series of detours, marketing her beauty and making cameo appearances in movies, which did earn her some recognition in the fashion industry.
But it's not very useful for the company.
The income from those endorsements is just a drop in the bucket.
Therefore,
The entire burden of the company rests on the shoulders of Lao Hu and Liu Shishi.
former,
Hu Xijin was held hostage by public opinion, went abroad to study for two months, and has now returned to China in disgrace, forced to remain low-key and silent for a while.
Unable to appear in public, he was forced to go to the theater to hone his acting skills.
All the burdens could only fall on Liu Shishi's shoulders.
This one-day visit to the set was a time she had painstakingly squeezed out of her schedule.
Now, after leaving, I'm about to seamlessly jump into filming.
……
For a period of time afterward, the "Three Lives Three Worlds" production team got back on track and filmed peacefully.
The first life of Mo Yuan and Si Yin is drawing to a close.
During this time, the only one who was troubled was Dilraba.
She was busy running back and forth, going through all sorts of hardships, trying to bring Gu Qing and Da Mimi back together.
to this end,
Dilraba is really putting her intelligence to the extreme.
What does it resemble?
"Little brother, look, this is a video that Sister Honey sent me. Isn't it funny?"
In front of Yang Mi, Dilraba turned her phone towards Gu Qing.
that
Gu Qing glanced at it, nodded, and said, "Yeah, funny." Then she continued to look down at her phone.
Da Mimi remained expressionless, pretending not to hear.
"Little brother, look! Sister Honey's Daji is 8-0 and has a godlike streak! Isn't that amazing!"
The next day, Dilraba shoved her phone in front of Gu Qing again.
On the screen is a screenshot of Da Mimi's battle record; Daji's record is indeed impressive.
"Impressive." Gu Qing glanced at it, then lowered her head again.
Every sentence received a response, but it just felt like a polite but perfunctory response.
"Honey, look! Look! The younger brother's photos are trending! He's so handsome!"
Dilraba then turned her phone towards Yang Mi.
"Yeah, handsome." Da Mimi didn't even lift her eyelids.
"Honey Sister, Brother, I've made it to the qualifying rounds! Please, you two are amazing! Protect me!!"
The three people sat in the RV, their phone screens lit up, and the game interface was loading.
Dilraba managed to get Gu Qing and Yang Mi on the same team—it took her a lot of effort to do that.
Games start.
"Little brother, come gank mid! Honey's being pressured!"
"Honey, your little brother's here to help you with the reverse squat!"
Wow, that teamwork was amazing! Did you guys practice secretly?!
Only Dilraba was making a ruckus, while the two people on either side of her seemed to be sitting on two huge blocks of ice, making one's teeth chatter from the cold.
Gu Qing stared intently at her phone screen, her fingers swiping rapidly across it, without uttering a word.
Da Mimi was also focused on her phone screen, remaining silent as well.
The two of them, separated by Dilraba, almost turned her into an ice queen.
Dilraba was sandwiched in the middle, feeling like the filling in a sandwich cookie—squeezed so tightly she could hardly breathe.
But she didn't give up.
If once doesn't work, try twice; if twice doesn't work, try three times.
She was like a busy little bee, shuttling back and forth between the two of them, delivering messages, conveying affection, and creating opportunities.
Unfortunately, the effect was minimal.
Until one afternoon,
Dilraba finally managed to drag Yang Mi under Gu Qing's RV with great difficulty, so that the three of them could have a meal together.
The sun was shining brightly; the warm autumn sunlight bathed the parking lot, and the sycamore leaves rustled in the breeze.
The three of them sat under the awning outside the RV, with the delicious food that Dilraba had carefully prepared laid out in front of them.
Dilraba looked left and right, just about to start a conversation to warm up the atmosphere—
An unexpected and momentous event shocked the three of them, prompting them to utter the same sentence simultaneously:
"I rely on!"
October 1st, 12:00 noon.
Lu Han, one of the four top celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry, posted:
"Let me introduce you all, this is my girlfriend @Guan Xiaotong."
at the same time,
Guan Xiaotong:
"Let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend @LuHan."
In an instant, blogs were in turmoil, the entertainment industry was in turmoil, and everyone was whispering and discussing among themselves.
Who is Guan Xiaotong? Who is Guan Xiaotong?
"I remember now, The Left Ear! Gu Qing's The Left Ear, I think she had a cameo role in it."
"What do you mean? I remember there was a trending topic once where she said Gu Qing was her ideal type. How come she's dating Lu Han now?"
"This is hilarious."
The public, always eager for drama, quickly dominated the trending topics list.
Of the top ten, Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong occupied six spots.
Various hashtags flooded the internet, including "Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong's relationship," "Lu Han's girlfriend," "Who is Guan Xiaotong?", "Guan Xiaotong in 'Left Ear'," "Gu Qing's ideal type," and "The first person among the four top celebrities to date."
at the same time,
Sister Luwei, who had just returned from her mission, got into a heated argument with the Gu family, debating who was the most youthful-looking artist.
They battled the Gu family for an entire morning in the supertopic, in the group chat, and in the comments section.
The debate has shifted from "youthfulness" to "actual achievements".
The argument has escalated from "actual achievements" to "status."
The debate has escalated from "celebrity status" to "endorsements".
From "endorsement" to "magazine cover"... the arguments were so heated that my mouth was dry and I was exhausted.
After finally bringing the battle to a close, the exhausted Reed Sisters dragged their weary bodies back to their own fan page, ready to see if there was any good news to comfort themselves.
then,
They saw the pinned tweet.
"Let me introduce you all, this is my girlfriend @Guan Xiaotong."
...? ? ?
...! ! !
"Rustling sound!!!"
The reeds were trembling violently.
That trembling wasn't from cold, nor from fear, but rather—the trembling of a worldview collapsing.
Their brother, that handsome, adorable, sunny boy, innocent and pure as a blank sheet of paper—is in love?!
Moreover, it was public! It was officially announced! It was pinned to the top of the chat!
They're afraid someone might not know!
"Impossible! This must be fake!"
"Little Deer's account has been hacked! It must be!"
"Who is Guan Xiaotong? She's some nobody! Does she even deserve my Lu Han?!"
"Waaaaah, I don't believe it ......"
The supertopic was filled with cries of grief and lamentation.
Gu Qing, Yang Mi, and Dilraba sat under the awning outside the RV, looking at each other in bewilderment as they stared at the overwhelming news on their phone screens.
"So... Lu Han is in a relationship?"
Dilraba's voice was so soft it sounded like she was confirming an unbelievable fact.
"Ah."
Gu Qing nodded, her expression subtle.
The timing of this announcement seems different from the previous life; it's actually been brought forward quite a bit.
The entertainment industry is truly amazing.
You don't have to do anything, just diligently film, and the next day when you look up, you find that your competitor has disappeared because of their "self-destructive" behavior.
This feeling... is so wonderful.
"Is this public?"
"Ah."
"Is it still pinned to the top?"
"Ah."
Dilraba remained silent.
Then, she slowly turned her head and looked at Da Mimi.
Da Mimi was also looking at her.
The two stared at each other for three seconds.
Then, he turned to look at Gu Qing.
Why are you all looking at me?
Gu Qing blinked.
"younger brother,"
Dilraba took a deep breath, "You wouldn't also..."
"will not."
Gu Qing was resolute.
"I haven't asked yet."
I know what you want to ask.
“That’s not what I wanted to ask,”
Dilraba sighed and said, "I mean, little brother, your luck is just too good! Are you really blessed by a lucky charm?"
"Lu Han is dating... Oh my god... Won't his fans be furious?"
"Probably."
Gu Qing glanced at Dilraba and felt a little sorry for her.
In his past life, the biggest winner from Lu Han's public relationship announcement was actually Dilraba.
Just like Yang Ying became a CP fan, in the eyes of the public, she was the victim, which won the sympathy of millions of people, and her fans and popularity soared, and her reputation among the general public also rose.
This opportunity allowed them to break into the top tier of the industry.
But Gu Qing doesn't know whether losing this wave of benefits is good or bad for Dilraba.
……
"Little brother, but don't you really want to be in a relationship?"
Dilraba couldn't resist her curiosity any longer.
"Alright, alright, stop talking."
Da Mimi interrupted her, her tone indifferent, "Whether he's in a relationship or not is none of your business."
What Da Mimi didn't expect was that...
"Oh my god, Honey, you finally talked to your brother!!"
Dilraba was overjoyed. The young lady in embroidered shoes excitedly stomped her feet and hugged Yang Mi's arm, rubbing her cheek against Yang Mi's. "Yay! You two are back together!"
"What do you mean by 'make up'? Are you in elementary school?"
"I have no conflict with him."
Yang Mimi was furious and embarrassed. She tried to stand up, but Dilraba hugged her back. "Don't believe me? Ask him!"
Yang Mi pretended not to care, crossing her arms, but her eyes were constantly observing Gu Qing, revealing a nervousness she herself was unaware of.
Gu Qing looked up at Yang Mi, nodded, and then smiled at Dilraba.
"Yes, I don't have any conflicts with Sister Mi."
The voice just fell,
Da Mimi's heart, which had been pounding in her throat, finally settled down with a sigh of relief. She pretended to be calm and sat down again, picking up her chopsticks and silently eating.
