After being speechless for a few seconds, Jiang Chuyi laughed awkwardly and said, "Don't make fun of me."
Is it because of the previous trending search? Why do everyone around her think there is something going on between her and Souya
Wang Tan: "Are you kidding? What are you kidding?"
He was surprised: "Do you think our teacher Zong is not chaste enough, or not a strong enough man?"
Zongye finally spoke up, "Wangtan, that's enough."
Wang Tan turned his head and communicated silently with Zong Ye with his eyes.
You didn't say anything just now, but waited until I finished speaking before you pretended to say "enough"? Enough for what
He was a little speechless at Zong Ye's hypocritical and prudish appearance. After staring at each other for a few seconds, Wang Tan turned back and said to Jiang Chuyi: "Okay, Teacher Jiang, just pretend that I haven't introduced you to him. If you want to find a partner, I happen to have a younger brother."
Zong Ye: “…”
Jiang Chuyi couldn't help it, "You really don't need to introduce me!"
She didn't know how unattractive and lonely she looked, which was why so many people were so eager to introduce her to someone.
She was very upset: "If I want to fall in love, I can definitely find someone myself, so you don't have to worry about me."
"Really?" Wang Tan smiled mysteriously, "Then I'll wait for your good news."

In Xin He's dressing room, Jiang Chuyi changed her clothes, took off her jewelry, and gave them to Xiao Zhong for safekeeping.
After packing up, they all got into Xin He's nanny car and returned to her private residence in Shanghai.
She had boasted before that she had bought a large flat in the city. It was not until she went home with Xin He that she saw what a real first-tier riverside luxury house was.
The two-story duplex building has panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, and is decorated with the finest luxury goods. Even the carpet is orange Hermes, and the smell of money is overwhelming. Jiang Chuyi stood on the oversized balcony, with a panoramic view of the Huangpu River and bright lights.
She turned around and said with a slightly sour tone, "You are such a rich little woman."
"Tsk." Xin He turned on the heater and took off his coat. "I have so many houses. I'll show you around later."
Jiang Chuyi said "oh".
She leaned on the railing, resting her chin on the back of her hand, looking at the river in the distance, and muttered, "The night view here is so beautiful."
"Okay, come in quickly."
Xin He dragged her upstairs and into the bedroom.
There was a stuffed doll on the bay window in the room. Xin He clapped his hands at it and said, "Luke, come here."
Luke had a chubby face and his round blue eyes were open alertly. He called out to Jiang Chuyi twice.
Jiang Chuyi was almost bleeding from her face due to cuteness.
As soon as she approached quietly, Luke jumped away.
"Meow meow." Jiang Chuyi has never had any resistance to this kind of furry creature. She bent down and called in a low voice, "Luke, Luke, give auntie a kiss."
Luke lay in the crack of the bed where humans couldn't reach him, licked his chubby little paws, and lazily didn't want to pay attention to the strange woman.
Xin He poked her head out of the cloakroom and saw Jiang Chuyi lying on the ground in an unpresentable manner, waving her hands under the bed. She immediately frowned, "Can you stop being such a pervert? Luke is timid and shy, don't tease him yet, wait until he gets familiar with her."
Jiang Chuyi looked up, her expression unable to hide her disappointment, "How long do we have to wait?"
"Okay, come here quickly."
Jiang Chuyi had no choice but to get up from the ground and walk over, "What are you doing?"
Xin He raised his chin, pointed to a row of clothes and said, "Pick one."
"What to pick?"
"Pick out something to wear!"
Jiang Chuyi looked at the row of glittering high-end lace dresses and various Chanel-style coats and felt a little embarrassed. "None of your clothes look like you can wear them to sleep. Do you have any pajamas that are more comfortable? Like short-sleeved ones?"
Xin He was speechless. "You idiot, I asked you to pick out an outfit, not to let you sleep! It's New Year's Eve tonight, and you're wearing short sleeves? Do you have a sense of ceremony? Do you look like a female star? I still need to take pictures and post them on Weibo!"
I see.
Jiang Chuyi took out a white skirt and asked, "How about this one?"
"simple."
She took out another black suit, compared it to herself, and asked expectantly, "What about this one?"
“Old-fashioned.”
Jiang Chuyi accepted her fate and pointed at the light green skirt, "Is this one pretty good?"
Xin He glanced at him and said, "You are dressed so conservatively, are you planning to go to the sales office to sell insurance?"
Jiang Chuyi gave up after being confronted by her: "Then you choose for me."
Xin He propped his chin up in thought, looking her up and down: "Have you never tried a rock style?"
Jiang Chuyi asked back, "Where do you think I am rock and roll?"
Xin He picked out a set of denim suspenders and a short skirt and told her, "Try this."
Jiang Chuyi came out after trying on the clothes, looked down at herself, and pulled the shoulder straps awkwardly.
She has a light temperament, a face not much bigger than a palm, and very fair skin. She has black hair that falls to her shoulders and wears a denim skirt with small suspenders. She is very low-key, with a strange and attractive old Hong Kong style.
Xin He was satisfied. "If you ask me, I should be your agent. Your styling team is too mediocre."
Jiang Chuyi tilted her head: "Do I look good like this?"
"Not bad, mainly because I have good taste."
Jiang Chuyi smiled.
Soon, Xin He also changed into a red tube-top skirt, which showed her curvy figure. She was originally a great beauty with a strong complexion, and with this bright color, she didn't need any jewelry to match it, and it suppressed the brilliance in the room.
On the square table in the living room, Xin He arranged the flowers, lit the scented candles, and poured red wine into the goblet.
Everything was ready, Xin He pulled Jiang Chuyi over and said, "Let's take two pictures."
The two of them worked on it for nearly half an hour and finally took a few photos that Xin He was satisfied with.
She picked up her phone again and carefully opened the photo-editing software.
Jiang Chuyi sat next to her and couldn't help laughing, "I suddenly feel that you are very down-to-earth."
Xin He glanced at her sideways, "What's wrong, you take pictures without editing them?"
"I took very few photos." Jiang Chuyi replied.
"You just don't have enough business." Xin He muttered while editing the photo, "I'll teach you to dance someday."
"What are you dancing for?"
"Of course, I post on TikTok to attract fans."
Jiang Chuyi: “…”
I have to say that Xinhe is really working hard to maintain her popularity in all aspects. It is really not that easy to be a popular actress.
Jiang Chuyi picked up the wine glass and took a sip. "Are you planning to post these photos on WeChat Moments?"
"I also post on Weibo." Xin He said nonchalantly, "I am a person of true character, and I post on Weibo as if it were my Moments."
Jiang Chuyi immediately put down the wine glass in his hand and rushed over, "Wait a minute, let me take a look at these photos of yours."
Xin He smiled and raised her phone, "It's too late, I've already sent it, you can check it on your phone."
Jiang Chuyi immediately took out her mobile phone and searched Xin He's Weibo.
@辛荷: Today's business picture, I wish you all a happy new year, and spend the new year with friends [toast]
In the nine-square grid, the picture in the middle is a photo of Jiang Chuyi and her.
One of them was blue, the other was red, and they were face to face, looking very intimate.
The comment section is full of chicken cries and flattery.
Because Xin He almost never posts photos with female artists in the circle on the Internet, she has been often ridiculed for having poor popularity.
This is her first time to show her friendship on Weibo.
By the way, even Jiang Chuyi got some credit, and Xinhe's fans praised her as a beauty. However, Jiang Chuyi is already a marginal figure in the circle, and many people feel unfamiliar with her and ask who she is. After some research, they found out that she is the rumored girlfriend of Zong Ye some time ago.
Fortunately, Xinhe’s fans are good at controlling comments, and since it was on their own turf, it didn’t cause any verbal battles.
Jiang Chuyi climbed onto the main account she hadn’t logged into for a long time and gave Xin He a thumbs up.
Then, she found that Chi Mengyue, Xin He, Zong Ye, and Ji Kai were on the hot search again, followed by the tag of Xingcheng Live Broadcast.
Jiang Chuyi told Xin He: "You are on the trending search again."
Xin He showed a slight annoyance and picked out the fans' comments to reply, "Don't worry about it, it's a small matter. Those marketing accounts have no news to write and are here to take advantage of the popularity again."
Jiang Chuyi was still a little worried, so she clicked in to take a look.
What caught my eye was this:
#Star City New Year's Eve, Chi Mengyue and Xin He seemed to be jealous of Zong Ye, Ji Kai might become a tool#
This two-minute long video with undercurrents recorded how Chi Mengyue joked with Zong Ye, and how Xin He spoke to Ji Kai with a dark face, and ended with Zong Ye taking the initiative to go over.
The comment section sparked a heated discussion, with various parties fighting each other.
[How dare Chi Mengyue get involved in the top of the chicken? The Zong family army has three seconds to reach the battlefield]
[Sister Chi, can you please check how much powder you have on your face? Can you please stay away from me? I'm afraid your face will get rubbed against me. Yue!]
[Ah, yes, yes, you are a walking spring. What kind of star is Souya? Just go to Japan and be a gigolo. In the eyes of his crazy fans, any woman will be so horny that she can't even walk when she sees him.]
[To be honest, passers-by can see that Chi Mengnu is trying to get him to pay for his love, and Zong Ye has a perfunctory expression on his face [laughing and crying] Is it because his real girlfriend Xin He is next to him? ]
[No one will be left standing in the way. Please unfollow Chou Cheng’s topic above before you start making comments. Who are you trying to disgust by saying that Xin He is your real girlfriend? ]
[A bunch of fans are like being persecuted and delusional. Do all the female celebrities in the domestic entertainment industry think they are paying for you if they say a few words to you? You guys keep going crazy, and it will backfire sooner or later. ]
[What's up Fei Si? Another Chi Mengyue? I'm still stuck in Yi Jian Zongqing's trap! Is he going to be dead so soon? Help! ]
[Wow, I can actually meet my family here, no be!!! Absolutely no be!!! If you look closely at this video, Zongye's attitude towards other female stars is completely different from my daughter. When he was watching Jiang Chuyi live before, his eyes were almost tearing in public! Go to station B and search for the editing of "The truth is love at first sight", all kinds of small details cut, and Zongye's many double standards!! Thousands of words are just one sentence: Yijian Zongqing szd!]
The world is so big, and these CP fans are everywhere.
Jiang Chuyi never expected that a trending search that was so obviously trying to attract attention could actually trigger so many endless follow-ups.
The main problem now is that the scandal between her and Zong Ye is almost over. If Jiang Chuyi comes out to clarify something again, it will only make the matter endless and cause a greater impact on Zong Ye.
Jiang Chuyi has gone from being shocked at the beginning to gradually feeling helpless about the strange thinking of these CP fans. Now she can only hope that these fans will calm down on their own.
They will eventually understand a true saying.
There is no true love in the entertainment industry.

After posting the Weibo, the business was closed. The two moved from the restaurant to the living room. Xin He was not a good drinker, so after drinking a little, she felt a little dizzy.
The home stereo was on, and Xin He was dancing to the DJ's music on the sofa, shaking her head like crazy.
Jiang Chuyi was really worried about disturbing others, so she kept persuading them: "Drink less, why don't we go to bed? We can play again tomorrow."
It was already three o'clock in the morning. Jiang Chuyi was just about to drag Xin He back to the bedroom when she suddenly heard the doorbell ring.
Xin He jumped up and staggered to open the door.
Jiang Chuyi was worried that she would fall, so she followed her and came face to face with the four people at the door.
Wang Tan peeked in and smiled, "You guys are having a great time."
Jiang Chuyi supported Xin He and asked, "Why are you here?"
Ji Kai: "Xin He asked us to come for New Year's Eve, but we've been busy until now, so we're late."
Fu Cheng took Xin He from Jiang Chuyi, frowned, and asked in a low voice, "How much did she drink?"
Jiang Chuyi thought for a moment and said, "Not much, just one or two cups."
She drank more and didn't even feel groggy.
Fu Cheng carried the drunk Xin He to the kitchen with one hand and forced her to drink several glasses of water to sober her up.
Jiang Chuyi took a step back and stood next to the shoe cabinet.
As soon as the door opened, Zong discovered her.
Xin He's home was heated. She was not wearing any makeup, her features were delicate, and she was wearing a short skirt, which was rare. Her legs were white and straight.
He looked away, not staring at her for too long.
Jiang Chuyi looked at Zong Ye.
But what immediately came to her mind were the netizens' sharp comments: [人形春[yào]], [日本做鸭]
Her expression became uncomfortable, she said hello to Zong Ye and hurried back to the living room.
Wang Tan and Ji Kai were both in a mess, some lying down, some slumped over.
Ji Kai heaved a long sigh and said with a sigh: "Finally I can take a break. I feel like if I can just hold on for another day, I'll end up going to the hospital tomorrow."
Jiang Chuyi: "Are you guys free tomorrow?"
Ji Kai raised his voice, "Take a day off tomorrow. Aren't we going to Beijing to film the day after tomorrow?"
"Oh." Jiang Chuyi nodded, "IM still has humanity."
"Eh?" Ji Kai noticed Jiang Chuyi's outfit and laughed, "So this is Teacher Jiang's private style?"
"It's a bit unexpected." Ji Kai said.
Just then, Zong Ye came over and asked, "What's the surprise?"
"Teacher Jiang looks pretty good today."
Zongye tilted his head.
Jiang Chuyi sat upright, meeting his scrutinizing gaze.
A few seconds later, Zong Ye sat next to Ji Kai, blocking most of his sight, leaned over, and picked up a box of mints.
Ji Kai was puzzled: "No, this sofa is so big, why do you have to squeeze me?"
"Then you can sit on the other side?"
Ji Kai came to his senses a little, "Why do I feel that you are a bit aggressive today?"
"Really?" Zongye's expression remained calm.
Wang Tan sat at the other end with his arms folded, glanced at them, and finally reminded them: "Akai, you can't comment on women in front of them. It's very offensive. Do you understand?"
"Besides, the woman you commented on..." Wang Tan said lazily, "She is also the rumored girlfriend of your teammate. Do you think it's appropriate?"
Ji Kai really looked innocent: "Not really."
"It's serious, it's serious." Jiang Chuyi interrupted immediately to prevent the topic from going any further. She stood up and said, "Would you like some fruit? I just froze a few boxes in the refrigerator."
"Okay." Ji Kai replied.
Jiang Chuyi quickly left the scene.
Looking at her fleeing figure, Wang Tan sighed, "Girls like Teacher Jiang seem to be a little hard to chase."
Zongye had a blank expression on his face, pretending not to hear, picked up the glass and took a sip of wine.
Ji Kai turned around, lowered his voice, and asked in surprise: "What?! You want to pursue Jiang Chuyi?"
Wang Tan was too lazy to talk to this idiot, "Get lost."
Xin He is a typical example of a person who is addicted to alcohol. Before she was fully sober, she was already clamoring for everyone to drink with her.
After a few drinks, Ji Kai's cheeks turned red and he forked a few pieces of fruit into his mouth.
The others were chatting, and Jiang Chuyi took the opportunity to call him: "Ji Kai, Ji Kai!"
Ji Kai let out an "ah" in confusion.
"Can you do me a small favor?" Jiang Chuyi moved a little closer, "I have a friend who likes you very much, and he wants an autograph."
Ji Kai said with a big tongue: "Signature? Sure."
After getting the permission, Jiang Chuyi ran to get her bag, took out the album and pen that Zhao Guangyu had stuffed into her hand, and handed them to Ji Kai, "Just sign here, thank you."
"It's no big deal." Ji Kai bit off the pen cap and asked as he signed, "What's your friend's name?"
"Zhao Guangyu."
"Zhao..."
Jiang Chuyi added: "The light of glory, the reputation of honor."
Ji Kai seemed to have some impression of this name, and he asked, "Would you like to write a few sentences?"
Jiang Chuyi: "It's all right. It depends on your convenience."
She sat obediently on the small footstool waiting for Ji Kai's autograph.
The sound of a metal lighter clicking reached my ears.
The movement was very regular, and Jiang Chuyi could not ignore it. She looked to the side.
Zong Ye didn't know when he had stopped chatting with Wang Tan. He leaned back on the sofa, playing with his lighter with his hand, and was not in a very good mood.
Seeing Jiang Chuyi looking over, Zong Ye hooked his index finger and put the cap on the lighter.
Jiang Chuyi was distracted.
He smiled and said, "What's the matter? Do you need me to sign one too?"
She shook her head, "No."
After a moment of silence, Zongye asked, "Do you mind if I smoke a cigarette here?"
Jiang Chuyi shook her head again.
Ji Kai was writing and asked casually, "Who is this friend of yours?"
"A friend I met in college."
Ji Kai let out an "oh".
Zongye calmly took a pack of cigarettes and opened it.
Ji Kai raised his eyebrows and gossiped, "Are you two familiar with each other?"
"Very familiar."
As soon as she finished answering, she noticed that the person next to her stood up.
Yu Guangzhong and Zong Ye took their lighters and cigarettes and went to the balcony alone.
She and Ji Kai looked at each other silently.
Didn't he say he wanted to smoke here
Jiang Chuyi asked tentatively: "Zong Ye seems... not in a good mood today?"
Ji Kai shrugged and couldn't answer the question.
Because he really didn't know where Souya's inexplicable emotions came from that night.
When Zongye came back after smoking a few cigarettes, the two were still chatting.
Ji Kai turned his head and said, "Dude, are you in a bad mood?"
Zongye picked up the mint candy on the coffee table, poured one out and put it in his mouth, "No."
He sat down, picked up a bottle of wine, lowered his eyes, poured half a glass, and pushed it to Ji Kai.
"what?"
Zongye simply said, "Drink something?"
"Drink it."
Souya poured himself another glass.
Seeing this, Jiang Chuyi hesitated and poured some wine into his own glass.
Souya swallowed hard, looking at her as he drank.
Jiang Chuyi smiled at him: "Will I drink with you?"
Ji Kai waved his hand: "If you can't drink, don't drink. We are very gentlemanly and don't force girls to drink."
"Ah?" Jiang Chuyi said honestly, "I can drink quite well."
After that, she performed it for them live.
Such a thin and weak girl, yet she just sat there and drank half a glass of wine without any hesitation.
She slammed the empty glass onto the table.
Ji Kai choked up and admired her sincerely: "Teacher Jiang, you are really a heroine."
Two hours later, Jiang Chuyi was speechless, looking at the large group of people staggering in front of him, and couldn't help wondering, why do all of them have such a poor alcohol tolerance
Ji Kai had already run to the toilet to vomit three times, and Fu Cheng still had a little clarity of mind, but not much.
Jiang Chuyi dragged Xin He back to the bedroom upstairs with great effort, wiped her face, and went back downstairs to clean up the mess.
After walking around, Jiang Chuyi bent down and put away the wine bottles on the coffee table.
When passing by Zong Ye, Jiang Chuyi tilted her head to take a look.
The main lights in the living room were turned off. He sat on the carpet with his eyes closed, his back leaning against the sofa in a relaxed posture.
Because his head was slightly tilted, his glasses had slipped down to the bridge of his nose.
Jiang Chuyi put down the bottle of wine in her hand and glanced at him. After standing there for a while, she walked over and stretched out her hand, ready to help him take off his glasses.
Unexpectedly, just as I took off my glasses, someone grabbed my wrist.
Jiang Chuyi was shocked.
The glasses rolled onto the carpet.
Souya's eyes opened slightly.
The whole room was filled with the faint smell of champagne. Under the ambiguous and gentle light, Zong Ye seemed to have a poor alcohol tolerance. His skin was pale, and his face turned red when he drank. When he was drunk, the rouge mole on the side of his neck seemed to be stained with a flush, which was indescribably erotic. He looked at her with a lazy look, and the corners of his eyes were raised, "Boss, are you being a hooligan?"
What are you talking about
Jiang Chuyi was so shocked that she forgot to pull her hand back for a moment.
She didn't mean to touch his face secretly, she just helped him take off his glasses! How could it be considered hooliganism? This is a serious crime.
Zong Ye grabbed her wrist lightly, but when Jiang Chuyi tried to pull her hand back, his fingers suddenly exerted force again.
She couldn't pull it out.
Zongye narrowed his eyes, with his long eyelashes half drooped, and just looked at her.
Just like Jiang Chuyi was a petty thief who took advantage of others when they were drunk and was caught by him on the spot.
And he didn't want to let her go easily.
Jiang Chuyi was in a dilemma and had to explain, "I thought you were asleep, so I helped you take off your glasses for fear that they would be damaged. I didn't mean anything else."
Zong was unmoved and firmly held her slender wrist, "Really?"
He didn't seem to believe her.
He Zong also looked at each other, and Jiang Chuyi curled her fingers at his straightforward and deep gaze.
It's a... very strange feeling.
Because of the alcohol, Zongye's mind was in a very chaotic state.
Memories shattered like glass. He remembered some things and forgot some things.
For example, he knew who the person in front of him was, but he forgot why she appeared in front of him.
The little bit of self-control he had left prevented him from doing anything more extreme.
Even if he wanted to very much.
Jiang Chuyi was helpless.
After waiting for a while to make sure he didn't make any other moves, Jiang Chuyi's shoulders relaxed and he called out tentatively, "Zong Ye?"
Souya: “Hmm?”
The tail note is upbeat, lazy and very seductive.
Now Jiang Chuyi was quite sure in her heart that Zong had indeed drunk too much and was quite drunk.
He is not usually so wild.
No, it's more than just being unrestrained, it's simply being unruly.
Drunk people are difficult to deal with, and Jiang Chuyi was a little overwhelmed. She observed for a while, half squatted down, and negotiated with him in a coaxing tone, "Can you let go of my hand first?"
Zong didn't say anything, but his hands tightened and tightened, with a slightly coercive force that even made Jiang Chuyi feel a little pain.
She decided to give up communicating and tried hard to pry his fingers apart with her other hand.
While trying to free her hand, Jiang Chuyi was still trying to wake him up, "Zongye, Zongye, do you still recognize me?"
This time, Zong Ye seemed to have heard it clearly and finally responded, "Jiang Chuyi?"
Jiang Chuyi was delighted and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, it's me, Jiang Chuyi, do you remember?"
For some reason, Zongye smiled, a subtle and patient smile. Because of drunkenness, there was a sparkling light in his eyes.
His tone suddenly returned to his usual calm and gentle tone, "Long time no see."
Souya's face flushed and he pulled her close.
Jiang Chuyi was pulled forward by Zong Ye, her center of gravity suddenly lost, and she fell onto his knees.
In a panic, she quickly used her other hand to support his shoulder to keep distance and balance.
As she was forced to lean over Souya, she heard him whisper, "I've always remembered you."
