Chapter 18: Eighteen stars

Jiang Chuyi took out her cell phone and found Xin He's WeChat.

Her avatar is a cute pink pig sitting on a gray microphone pole.

Jiang Chuyi sent her a message: "My agent told me that she has been in contact with the IP of "September Rain" recently. I met Director Li today, and he told me that you praised me. Thank you, Xiao Hehua!"

After sending the message, Jiang Chuyi put away her phone, not expecting her to reply immediately.

Unlike her, Xin He is not as popular as Xi Bao, but she is very popular among the young generation of female stars and is busy all year round. If Jiang Chuyi remembers correctly, she seemed to have joined the crew seamlessly throughout last year, and even recorded a few variety shows in the middle.

After taking a taxi home, Jiang Chuyi walked around the supermarket downstairs, picked some fresh fruits, and stocked up on coffee and milk.

After she moved the things upstairs and put everything away, she took out her cell phone and found that Xin He had sent her several messages half an hour ago and there were two missed calls.

Xin He: "What little lotus? You are so unfashionable! Who allowed you to call me that?"

Xin He: “?”

Xin He: "Three minutes have passed, and you dare not reply to my message?"

Jiang Chuyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she called her back.

After waiting for more than ten seconds of beeping, the call was finally connected before it was about to hang up automatically. Xin He answered slowly.

Jiang Chuyi held the phone between her shoulders and opened the refrigerator door. "Is there something you want to tell me?"

Xin He snorted, "I called you because you didn't reply to my message."

"Oh, I see." Jiang Chuyi smiled, "I wasn't looking at my phone just now. I sent you a message mainly to thank you."

"Tsk, that's so corny."

Jiang Chuyi keenly noticed that Xin He was starting to feel uncomfortable again, and she guessed that maybe she was shy? Just thinking about it made her feel amused.

Jiang Chuyi suppressed her laughter, "I really want to thank you. With my current fame, I probably won't be able to get such a good script. I don't know what you said, but Director Li is willing to meet me. Even if it's just an audition opportunity, it's very precious."

After hearing what she said, Xin He was silent for a few seconds. She said, "Why are you so honest? You seem stupid and not smart at all. How can you make it in the entertainment industry?"

Jiang Chuyi: "I'm telling the truth."

"Don't flatter me. What are you thanking me for? You are Qin Tong's apprentice. Do you need this kind of resource?"

Jiang Chuyi: “…”

As soon as she finished speaking, Xin He seemed to realize something and immediately explained, "I'm not implying anything about you. Well, I also hate your underage rumors."

Jiang Chuyi recalled the time when she and Qin Tong were on the hot search list, and Xin He took the initiative to come over and say a few words to her for the first time.

Xin He's original intention may be good, but she seems to be born with a bad knack for comforting others. She must have been well protected since she was a child and is used to being superior. Her emotional intelligence has not yet been fully developed, and her behavior lacks sincerity.

So even when she said nice things to others, she seemed a little sarcastic, which made Gao Ning angry for a long time and she kept misunderstanding her.

Jiang Chuyi hummed, "It's okay, I'm not that sensitive. I know you have good intentions."

Xin He asked casually, "What are you doing?"

"I just got home."

"If you have nothing to do, why don't you come pick me up after work? And treat me to a meal."

"I invite you to dinner?"

"Why? You don't want to."

Jiang Chuyi thought about it and said, "Okay, then send me the address."

After ending the call, Jiang Chuyi tidied up at home, took the car keys, and went to the underground parking garage to move out her car.

According to the address sent by the other side, I picked up Xin He. Jiang Chuyi searched Meituan and found a new tea restaurant nearby with good reviews. There were not many people, the environment was quiet, and there were independent private rooms.

When the waiter came in, he couldn't help but glance at Xin He and Jiang Chuyi.

Xin He had just finished recording a show and had not yet removed her makeup. Her skin was snow-white, and her hair was curled into delicate big waves. She was beautiful and delicate from her hair to her heels.

After she placed her order, she turned around and frowned, "Why are you staring at me like that?"

"What?" Jiang Chuyi felt wronged. "I'm not lecherous, am I? I'm just looking at you."

"What are you looking at me for?"

"Look at how good-looking you are."

Xin He: “…”

Her skin was thin, so her blush was very obvious. She smacked you twice and stammered, "You don't like girls, do you? I'm not a lesbian."

Xin He subconsciously moved a little further away.

"Of course not." Jiang Chuyi sighed, not knowing what she was thinking about every day, "I like your appearance, you are very beautiful."

He looks exactly the opposite of me.

In fact, Jiang Chuyi never thought that she was ugly. But as she grew older, she heard more negative voices, and her confidence faded. Occasionally, when she walked on the red carpet, passers-by would occasionally mock her for having a dull face like an ordinary person.

Whenever she is mentioned, it is that she is outshined by someone else and becomes someone else's background.

Perhaps a more pleasant way to put it is that she has a movie face.

His facial features are rather ordinary and plain, which makes it easy for passers-by to feel involved when he is acting.

Seeing her say this, although her tone was calm, she couldn't hide her loneliness. Xin He was a little puzzled, "Aren't you pretty too?"

"Am I pretty?"

"Beautiful."

Jiang Chuyi narrowed her eyes and smiled, a little bit unbelievable, "I actually got compliments from such a beautiful lady, it's such an honor."

Xin He snorted.

She wasn't trying to comfort anyone. Xin He simply thought Jiang Chuyi was very pretty.

She only feels that the comments about her appearance on the Internet, such as "a beautiful and pretty woman on earth", are greasy and tacky.

The first time I had an impression of Jiang Chuyi was a few years ago, when Fu Cheng was still a trainee. They spent New Year's Eve together at Ji Kai's house. At that time, Ji Kai had a girlfriend, and a group of people sat in the living room and chatted. I don't know who projected an art film into the projector.

It was directed by Qin Tong.

Xin He always found this kind of movie boring, but that day she became interested for the first time and sat side by side with Zong Ye on the sofa to watch the movie.

The rest of the people were drinking or playing games, but only the two of them were silent. They stared at this gloomy movie intently in the joyous New Year.

She didn't remember many scenes from the movie, only this one gave her some shock.

The girl's stunning appearance showed her thin pale lips, delicate features, and slender wrists as white as porcelain.

She was not a beauty as generally defined by passers-by, but she was very much in line with Xin He's fantasy of the heroine in the painful youth literature at that time.

Xin He spoke unconsciously: "Who is this person? She is pretty."

She had just sighed casually and didn't expect to get an answer. Unexpectedly, Zong Ye, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke and told her, "Her name is Jiang Chuyi."

Jiang Chuyi supported her chin and felt a little flattered when Xin He talked about the past.

"At that time, I thought you were a cool and artistic beauty." Xin He pouted, "I only realized after getting to know you that you are actually a fool."

Jiang Chuyi smiled.

Xin He glanced at her uncomfortably.

There was something else in her heart that she was too embarrassed to say.

From that time on, she really wanted to have a chance to get to know Jiang Chuyi and make friends with her.

Jiang Chuyi was curious about something else and asked, "So you and Fu Cheng have known each other for a long time? Are you in a relationship?"

I have to say that Xin He and his team did a great job keeping it a secret. They acted like they were strangers to Xi Bao. Their strong connections were also a factor. Even those in the industry had never heard any rumors.

"It's not really a relationship, he can't date now." Xin He spoke the truth, "We've known each other since we were kids, I thought of him as my brother, so when he confessed his love to me a few years ago, I rejected him immediately. Later, I regretted it and went to find him, but he started to act arrogantly and kept me hanging!"

Jiang Chuyi: “…”

Is this gossip she can listen to

Just recalling Fu Cheng's arrogant look, she really couldn't imagine what it was like for him to confess his love to someone...

"Didn't the sect mention that there was an anniversary before?"

"That's the anniversary of when Fu Cheng and I met."

Jiang Chuyi said "oh" and then realized, "So you liked to talk with Ji Kai on the set before, just to anger Fu Cheng?"

"Yeah." Xin He couldn't help feeling a little aggrieved when she mentioned this. "You heard us arguing that time, because Fu Cheng blocked me again! This guy is really petty."

Then, she was a little proud of herself like a little girl, "But then I realized that he must be jealous."

Jiang Chuyi didn't quite understand: "Why did you pick Ji Kai to attack the city? Isn't there Wang Tanzong as well?"

"Wang Tan is such a bad guy, he won't cooperate with me. As for Zong Ye..." Xin He thought for a moment and concluded, "Zong Ye is naturally not attracted to women. He is like a piece of wood. It's hard to chat with him! He is not as fun as Ji Kai."

Like a piece of wood

Jiang Chuyi hesitated. She felt that the Zong Ye she knew and the Zong Ye she described were not the same person.

Xin He opened up and talked to her a lot. As they talked, they talked about making their relationship public in the future.

Jiang Chuyi looked at her with some concern, and said carefully: "Xibao is very popular now, and they are idols, so their fans probably can't accept their relationship. If their relationship is exposed, it won't be very good for you."

With the current crazy star-chasing situation in the domestic entertainment industry, if any one of the celebrities was revealed to be in a relationship, it would probably cause a major earthquake.

"I know that." Xin He sighed, "In two years, their contract with IM will expire. We can talk about it then. I'm not in a hurry."

Halfway through the meal, Xin He received a call, which seemed to be from the company.

I don’t know what work they were discussing. Jiang Chuyi didn’t want to disturb her, so he put down his chopsticks and picked up his phone to scroll through it quietly.

After browsing Taobao for a while, a new hot topic suddenly popped up in the Weibo prompt box: #宗也机场路路#

It turned out that Jiang Chuyi basically ignored these push entries, but when she saw Zong Ye's name, she subconsciously clicked on it.

The page jumps to Weibo.

This is a set of freshly-released airport photos of Xibao just after returning to Beijing from Harbin. They are surrounded by fans and are signing autographs.

Jiang Chuyi clicked on one at random.

Then she enlarged the picture.

Among the handsome guys in Xibao, Zong Ye stood out. She could tell at a glance.

It's not because of anything else... but because of his outfit...

In this set of pictures, Fu Cheng, Wang Tan, and Ji Kai are still dressed very cool, wearing black trendy jackets, sunglasses and baseball caps. Zong Ye's clothes are similar to theirs, but the only abrupt thing is that he actually wears a scarf.

It’s still the kind of bear hat and scarf with a hood, two cute ears standing up on the top of the head, and two whiskers tied into a very girly bow.

Jiang Chuyi's eyes widened, unable to believe it.

Wasn’t this scarf the one she left on the car that day

Why would Souya wear such a weird thing outside so openly? ? ? ? He has no dignity left? ? !

Jiang Chuyi opened the comment section, and was bombarded with the usual insincere flattery.

[I can lick Souya's face forever, don't be too cute, my heart is beating, my baby! Give mom a kiss quickly]

[I love it so much, please give me the link of the same model!!]

[I won’t tell you how cute it is!]

She was scrolling through the comments when she suddenly noticed a comment in the back row that was drowned in flattery.

This portrait is the name of the watercolor "Yi Jian Zong Qing".

Jiang Chuyi's gaze paused.

Her comment was—

[The eighth picture is the one where Souya signs autographs for fans with a pen. If I'm not blind, the silver ring on his index finger is NESSING, right? Isn't this the same brand as the necklace that Jiang Chuyi was exposed to have that day? Is she wearing it secretly again? ]

The comments in this post are all in a similar style:

[Is this kind of hat suitable for a 188cm tall trendy guy? Souya, oh Souya, why don’t you look at yourself and then at your teammates? This is a girlish style that isolates the whole team. Is this hat a gift from your wife? ]

[Knocking on everything will only hurt you and me]

[This is really sweet, right? Right?! Not to mention wearing the same ring secretly, but also wearing the little bear hat given by his wife in public (it must be a gift from his wife no matter what), is he afraid that his wife’s popularity is not enough, and he is planning to make a TV series, right? Souya, don’t love her too much, you will be really scared by some tricks of young couples. ]

Jiang Chuyi: “…”

She is also going to be scared to death by this group of CP fans.
