Although the name of Xueshi Mall is not foreign, it is also a well-known brand in the surrounding area of University City.
Its scale is large enough to gather popular commercial facilities such as shopping malls, supermarkets, restaurants, cinemas, Internet cafes, game halls, etc. You won’t feel bored if you go to it for a whole day, and it’s more fun to eat, drink, and play.
The business positioning of Xueshi Mall is very clear. The target audience is hundreds of thousands of teachers and students in the university town and ordinary white-collar and blue-collar workers in the nearby business district. There are basically no luxury brands in the mall, mainly mid-range products.
Lu Chen has been to Xueshi Mall more than once before, so he is still very familiar with this area.
He drove Lu Xi to park the car in the parking lot north of the mall, and then walked along the walking path to the inside of the mall.
Since it was the weekend, the shopping mall was very lively with people coming and going.
"Let's eat first..."
Lu Chen checked that the time was past 5 o'clock, and said, "The Yunjin restaurant here tastes good, and the price is also affordable."
Lu Xi said: "Alright, two or three dishes are enough, I can't eat much."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "I've been eating a lot lately, two or three dishes are really not enough, at least five or six are enough!"
Lu Xi reached out and squeezed his arm, and said, "You are much stronger."
She rarely did this to Lu Chen before.
In the same strange city, for the same goal, the gap between the two is slowly melting.
Just as he was talking, four girls came from the direction of the main entrance, and happened to meet the two of them face to face.
One of the girls in a yellow shirt froze for a moment, with an expression of disbelief on her face.
But the girl in the white skirt who was following her turned pale!
This girl is Ye Zitong.
The four girls in their dormitory all chose to live on campus and stay in the capital to finish the summer during the summer vacation.
Ye Zitong was dragged by Zuo Xintian to go to the shopping mall tonight, together with two other roommates, but they never expected to meet Lu Chen in Xueshi Mall.
When she saw Lu Chen chatting and making out with the woman beside her, her heart seemed to be stabbed by a sharp knife!
Although Ye Zitong is very clear that she and Lu Chen have not confirmed the real relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend, but the scene in front of her still makes her feel ashamed, angry, painful, and embarrassed!
Not only Zuo Xintian, but the two roommates both knew Lu Chen and knew that they were dating.
"Lu Chen!"
Zuo Xintian was the first to yell, "How could you do this!"
She was about to rush forward aggressively to argue with Lu Chen, but Ye Zitong stopped her: "Forget it..."
Zuo Xintian hated iron and steel: "How can it be forgotten? You like him so much, and he is like this..."
From Zuo Xintian's point of view, Lu Chen is simply the legendary Chen Shimei's heartbreaker. He had shown his face on TV shows, started messing around just after getting a bit of fame, and actually dated other women behind Ye Zitong's back.
It is tolerable or unbearable!
What annoyed Zuo Xintian the most was that the women around Lu Chen couldn't compare to Zi Zitong in terms of appearance.
"leaf!"
Lu Chen, who was equally astonished, realized that he couldn't laugh or cry.
He hurriedly stepped forward and asked Ye Zitong: "Are you and Tiantian also coming to the shopping mall?"
Ye Zitong turned her head and ignored him, but her eye circles were red: "Tiantian, let's go."
Zuo Xintian and the other two girls cast contemptuous glances at Lu Chen, cutting flesh and bones like knives!
Lu Xi watched, with a half-smile on his face.
Lu Chen quickly grabbed Ye Zitong's hand, fearing that if she ran away regardless, the misunderstanding would be really big.
"Ye Zi, this is my sister Lu Xi, she just came from home today."
ah? elder sister
The three girls were dumbfounded. Only then did they realize that Lu Xi and Lu Chen were quite similar!
People are siblings.
What a joke!
Zuo Xintian wished she could find a crack in the ground and get in, her face was as red as an autumn frost apple.
Ye Zitong tried hard to break free from Lu Chen's hand, but he was stunned when he heard his explanation. A faint blush quietly appeared on his pretty pale face, and he was at a loss for a while.
This misunderstanding is really a big one, and the worst thing is that she has no reason to be jealous.
After all, the two just have a crush on each other.
At this time, Lu Xi came over and asked with a smile: "Hi, I'm Lu Chen's sister Lu Xi, are you his friend?"
Lu Chen let go of Ye Zitong's hand, and introduced with a little embarrassment: "Sister, this is Ye Zitong. They are all students of Beijing Normal University, and they are friends I met in the capital."
Ye Zitong endured her shyness, summoned up the courage to raise her head and said, "Sister Lu Xi, hello."
Lu Xi smiled and said, "It's nice to meet you. Your name is Ye Zi, right? I just arrived in the capital to settle down, and now I don't know where to buy something. Can you help me take a look?"
In front of Ye Zitong, Lu Xi was completely a gentle and amiable big sister, she couldn't help but nodded.
After the misunderstanding was resolved, Ye Zitong introduced Zuo Xintian and her two other classmates to Lu Xi.
The age difference between the girls is not very big, so they get acquainted quickly.
In the end, Lu Chen was left out in the cold.
Fortunately, there is always a meal. After discussing it, we went to Yunjin Restaurant to share a table together.
Lu Xi seemed to like Ye Zitong very much, and kept pulling her to talk.
Not even when eating.
In just one meal, the address between the two became "Sister Xi" and "Zitong".
After eating this sumptuous dinner, Lu Chen paid the bill.
There are a lot of elder sisters, and they no longer let him accompany the girls to the shopping mall as a "bag man", just the kind of role of carrying bags, saying that they will contact them after they buy something.
The time must be very long.
After thinking about it, Lu Chen simply went to the Internet cafe on the top floor of the shopping mall to kill time by surfing the Internet.
After registering with his ID card and turning on a computer, he logged on to the webpage and searched for relevant content of "Singing China".
As a result, many things were found.
As the No. 1 contestant in the top 16 of the singing area of "Singing China", Lu Chen's name is basically invisible on other websites except for the official website of "Singing China", and the few reposts are only Not much famous small site.
In some forums and post bars, there are many discussions about Lu Chen, mainly about his original works.
In stark contrast to Lu Chen, there are several contestants who are also in the top 16, far surpassing him in the search terms of keywords, such as "newcomer Zheng Kai performed well, conquered the judges with his natural singing voice, and won the " Singing China "The top 16 seats in the capital singing area!" and so on are full of content.
Lu Chen is very clear about the reason, that is, these players have signed contracts with entertainment brokerage companies, and there is a team behind them to hype and promote them. That's why those big websites put up promotional soft articles, and they can be found everywhere.
Lu Chen didn't feel uncomfortable or aggrieved about this, because the current entertainment industry is like this, it's hard to become popular without spending money on hype, if there is no topic, you have to create topics to attract attention, like him purely relying on himself The newcomers are completely rare.
If you are willing to give up, you will gain if you give up. If you give up the pomp and vanity, what Lu Chen gets is independence and freedom.
Moreover, gold always shines, and it is only a competition in the capital singing area. When it comes to the tour PK competition and the finals, more and more people will know his name. Even if he doesn't spend money, he may not be able to make headlines!
In addition, Lu Chen is also organizing his own team to strengthen the publicity on the Internet.
After closing the news search, he logged on to the Inspur blog again.
Lu Chen's FMX account was registered two weeks ago, and it has been certified as a personal "V" number. It currently has 75,000+ fans, and they are basically fans of [Whale TV].
This is also thanks to Li Bai's help in publicity, otherwise Lu Chen would not have gained so many fans if he did it himself.
According to this local tyrant, it is actually too easy to increase followers. It is easy to spend a little money to buy millions of followers. With a little packaging, you can pretend to be a so-called "big V". Just a celebrity on a blog.
It's just that Lu Chen is still indifferent to this big V made of zombie fans!
Because he doesn't like to deceive others, and he doesn't like to deceive himself.
I updated two pieces of content in the blog, and answered many questions from fans. Time flies by.
At about 9 o'clock, Lu Xi called.
They finally finished shopping.
Lu Chen got off the plane, paid the bill and left, returned to the main entrance of the mall, and saw Lu Xi and the four girls again.
Everyone is carrying big bags and small bags, and they have a good harvest at night!
After meeting, Lu Xi said to Lu Chen: "Give me the car keys and the keys to the house, and I'll send Tiantian and the others back to school first and then go home by themselves. You can stay with Zitong."
Lu Chen looked at her in surprise, and then at Ye Zitong, who blushed and said nothing.
Naturally, there was no objection.
Zuo Xintian pursed her lips and said with a smile: "You two are having fun, it doesn't matter if you come back later, goodbye!"
She blinked at Ye Zitong.
The redness on Ye Zitong's face deepened, and she glared at her.
Lu Chen was a little worried, and asked, "Sister, do you know how to get to Jincheng Garden?"
He was afraid that Lu Xi would not find his way back.
Lu Xi said: "Even if I don't remember the way, can I still use my mobile phone to navigate?"
Lu Chen gave up and gave her the car keys and the keys to the house.
After Lu Xi took Zuo Xintian and the three girls away, only Lu Chen and Ye Zitong were left.
Speaking of which, the two haven't seen each other for a while since they went skating last time, and they just chatted through Feixun.
Meeting her again now, Lu Chen couldn't help feeling a little tenderness in his heart.
Today may be a coincidence, maybe it is the fate between the two.
He took Ye Zitong's hand naturally, and said, "Are you tired from shopping? Let's go to the ice shop over there."
Ye Zitong nodded meekly.
After a small misunderstanding, the relationship between the two undoubtedly took a big step forward.
Although the relationship has not yet been clarified, it is precisely this kind of hazy emotion that is the most touching!
…
But at this moment, Lu Chen didn't know,
On the Internet, a storm of public opinion that is closely related to him is about to sweep!
