A WeChat group named "The Four Heavenly Kings' Decisive Battle at the Forbidden City" was having a lively chat at this time.
A puddle of mud: "Picture"
A puddle of mud: "Picture"
A puddle of mud: "Shocking—Popular idol Souya openly pampers his fans in public, shocking his teammates"
Akai: "What is Xiaozong doing? He didn't buy enough coffee, but he started taking photos for others? Is this how a big star should be?"
A puddle of mud: "@Akai, you are so disrespectful. You don't have many female fans. Can you learn from Brother Souya?"
After Wang Tan teased Zong Ye, before he could put down his phone, he suddenly saw a pop-up message in the group:
[You were removed from the group chat by "Zong Ye"]
He turned his head, gazed at Souya lovingly, and asked, "Baby? What do you mean?"
Jiang Chuyi, who was sitting next to them, trembled violently.
Xiao Zhong pretended not to care, lowered his head, his round eyes wide open, and his face flushed.
Oh my god, oh my god, I’m so knocked to death, so knocked to death… The Zongtan will be divided tonight.
Zong Ye put away his phone and said calmly, "Be normal."
Wang Tan: "You have such a cruel heart, brother."
Fu Cheng seemed unable to stand Wang Tan's disgusting appearance and shook off his hand on him.
Ji Kai was sitting not far away, shouting over here: "Why was my brother Tan kicked out? Zong Ye, you are ostracizing my buddy, right? Brother Tan, wait, I will help you consult a lawyer tonight and say that Zong Ye bullied his teammates, and send him a lawyer's letter tomorrow."
Jiang Chuyi was in a daze, pretending not to hear them talking.
Before meeting, I never thought that the top stars who are so unattainable in the eyes of outsiders actually get along like this in private. Jiang Chuyi couldn't help but feel a little shattered by their cold filter, thinking that Chen Yi would probably like the type of Ji Kai and Wang Tan. Handsome and sick.
Seeing that the rain was not going to stop anytime soon, the director picked up the walkie-talkie and notified each group to call it a day.
The director instructed his assistant, "We're going to shoot some outdoor scenes this afternoon, and there's also a big night scene tonight. Please notify the group."
The assistant director looked at his watch and asked, "Maybe we can go get something to eat together?"
Wang Tan raised his hand: "Director, we won't go. Don't we have half a day off this afternoon?"
"how?"
"Zong Ye will cook later."
"Mong Ye also knows how to cook?"
This was the first time the assistant director had heard of this and he was a little curious.
Ji Kai: "Isn't that right? Mr. Zong's level is completely comparable to that of a professional chef trained by New Oriental."
"Where is Zong Ye going to cook?" Xin He pursed her lips and smiled, her tone was very familiar, "What are you eating? I'm going to have a meal. Are you welcome?"
Ji Kai: "The young lady has arrived, who dares not to welcome her? We greeted the hotel manager and asked to use their kitchen."
As if feeling something was wrong, Xin He showed some hesitation on her face, and glanced, "Teacher Jiang, Director, do you want to come together?"
Jiang Chuyi remembered Gao Ning's instructions and waved her hand: "I won't go. I have something else to do later."
The assistant director also refused: "I won't disturb you young people's gathering. Take this opportunity to cultivate more relationships."
"Don't be polite, come on." Ji Kai acted like everyone was just friends, so there was no need to be polite. "I asked my assistant to buy some food today, enough for us to eat."
Xin He: "Yes, Teacher Jiang, let's go together. Is it important? It doesn't take much time to have a meal."
Jiang Chuyi thought about it and discussed with her: "How about this, I will finish my work later, and the time will be gone. If I am not finished, you can eat first and don't have to wait for me."

At 7pm local time, the live broadcast of "Mirror Blade" officially began.
The signal in this hotel is not very good, and the live broadcast interface has some lags and delays.
Jiang Chuyi changed several positions, but the results were mediocre. She had no choice but to sit on the sofa near the door.
Today's event was arranged with young actors who played some memorable supporting roles in the drama, so the live broadcast room was neither popular nor unpopular. Jiang Chuyi was a typical foil, only needing to speak occasionally. Her camera was placed in a frame in the lower right corner, with little presence. For most of the show, it was mainly Bu Xiangchen who interacted with fans.
He is now a completely different person than before, and his resources and popularity have obviously reached a higher level than before.
It was obvious that Bu Xiangchen tried very hard to distance himself from her, saying that they were not very familiar with each other. Jiang Chuyi had a slow Internet connection when she was abroad, and she didn't talk much. Whenever she spoke, Bu Xiangchen, who was originally joking, would immediately shut up, as if he was afraid to talk to her.
He came two or three times like this, and Jiang Chuyi was too lazy to speak anymore.
The live broadcast event went on in a lukewarm manner, and when it was about to end, the bell on the hotel door rang.
Xiao Zhong trotted to open the door and opened it a little.
Jiang Chuyi glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.
Not knowing who was outside, Xiao Zhong kept poking his head out and spoke in a low voice.
After a while, she opened the door and made room for him.
Jiang Chuyi was originally glancing at him from time to time, but suddenly his gaze stopped.
I don't know what Zong was holding, there was a book underneath.
Xiao Zhong followed him closely, looking embarrassed, and whispered: "Teacher Zong, you are too polite, why don't I do it."
Jiang Chuyi was shocked.
What's happening here
She stared at the scene in front of her with her mouth slightly open, not caring for a moment that she was still live streaming.
Perhaps to avoid suspicion, the door was mostly opened. Ji Kai and Wang Tan were leaning against the door frame waiting. They stretched out their hands boredly and greeted Jiang Chuyi.
"It's very hot. Let me do it." Zongye motioned for her to point to a spot, "Where should I put it?"
Xiao Zhong was a little confused: "You can put it anywhere, just don't get burned."
Jiang Chuyi's attention was diverted, and she just followed Zong Ye's steps, turning her head mechanically from left to right.
Xiao Zhong also stayed where she was, and for a moment she even forgot to stop him. She didn't dare to speak loudly, and could only watch him walk in.
No, Mr. Zong, I told you to put it wherever you want, not on the dining table in the living room...
The host suddenly called her: "Chu Yi! Is Chu Yi here?"
Jiang Chuyi seemed to be awakened and uttered a short "I'm here."
"Just now a fan asked, who is your favorite character in this drama?"
“My favorite character…”
Jiang Chuyi stared at the screen of his mobile phone, and a cold sweat broke out on his back. He paused, tried to ignore the people in front of him, and recited the lines officially according to the script given to him before.
In less than two minutes, the style of the live broadcast room suddenly changed.
Sure enough, some sharp-eyed netizens recognized the silhouette that just flashed by.
[Am I blind? Why do I feel like the person who just walked past was Souya...]
[Oh my god??? What’s going on??? Is it Souya??? Why is Souya in Jiang Chuyi’s room... Ah??? This world is too crazy...]
[It’s definitely Muneya, I recognized him right away! The sky is falling in the entertainment industry!!]
[Mong Ye? Where is Zong Ye???]
Seeing that the situation was out of control, Jiang Chuyi felt that something was wrong.
As if by tacit understanding, everyone in the entire live broadcast room, including the host who was creating a lively atmosphere, was silent for three seconds.
As more and more people were swiping the screen, new people kept pouring into the live broadcast room. The topic was changed several times without any change, so the host could only bite the bullet and say, "Chu Yi, where are you now?"
Something is wrong.
Jiang Chuyi calmed down and answered the question: "I am abroad and have recently joined the crew to film a movie."
The host immediately responded: "Oh, it's the one that was officially announced a while ago, the new movie of Westward Strike, right?"
Jiang Chuyi took the opportunity to look at Zong Ye.
He put the soup on the table, tore off a piece of paper towel and wiped his hands.
"So that's how it is." The host continued to ask, "Is everyone here?"
Jiang Chuyi replied: "They are all here."
Fortunately, Ji Kai and Wang Tan also came, otherwise Zong Ye would probably not be able to wash himself clean even if he jumped into the Yellow River today.
The host was relieved and his tone was much more relaxed: "Hahahaha, it seems like everyone in our live broadcast room is talking about the same person's name?"
Jiang Chuyi played dumb and did not interact with him.
But she didn't need to answer at all, the host just read it out loud.
Zong happened to pass by. When he heard his name, he stopped and turned his head.
Jiang Chuyi was very passive for a moment, and whispered to him: "My live broadcast event is not over yet."
"What live broadcast?"
"From Mirror Blade."
"I see." Zongye seemed to think for two seconds and asked calmly, "Do you need me to say hello?"
Jiang Chuyi: “…”
How could he have seriously misunderstood it to this extent.
She really didn't mean that!
Just by vaguely hearing their conversation, the host seemed to smell something and immediately became excited. He asked enthusiastically: "Teacher Souya, are you following the drama recently? Would you like to come to the live broadcast room to say hello to us?"
Jiang Chuyi thought.
This host is really good at handling things. He really got a big advantage.
She was still thinking about how to refuse when her vision suddenly went dark.
Zong Ye bent down slightly and first glanced at the situation in the live broadcast room. Then, he sat down on the right side of Jiang Chuyi, and his charming eyes curved, "Hello everyone, I am Zong Ye."
Jiang Chuyi suddenly felt that it was a bit difficult to breathe again.
Within just a few minutes after he said hello, the number of people in the live broadcast room skyrocketed.
The barrage of comments that used to slowly scroll by suddenly slid up as if the accelerator was on, making it dizzying to watch.
[No, Souya, you really came???]
[Mong Ye himself? ? I was shocked, Jiang Chuyi, you are so awesome (crying)]
[Even the ants passing by would come to the live broadcast room to take a look]
[Chengjing crew: Which direction should I knock my head? Can we get some Westerners to stand on the street? ]
[Souya's face is an indiscriminate attack on people of all ages. He is so handsome that I am dying. Just one look at him can extend my life (falls to the ground)]
The live broadcast was supposed to end on time, but because of someone's arrival, it was delayed for another ten minutes. And Souya himself seemed to be unaware and politely accompanied her in the business.
Because the calls were so loud, Wang Tan and Ji Kai also came over very politely to say hello.
Wang Tan sat down on the other side of Jiang Chuyi and said in a lazy tone, "Good afternoon, everyone... Oh, no, it's evening in China now, right? Good evening, everyone."
Ji Kai showed half of his heroic face. He was never arrogant and said with a smile, "I hope everyone will support Teacher Chu Yi's new drama."
Jiang Chuyi was sandwiched between them, unable to move. She didn't know whether to smile or not, so she could only keep a dry business expression and pretend to concentrate on watching the comments.
Jiang Chuyi, who was still acting as a background board half an hour ago, seemed to have suddenly become the main guest.
Some passers-by who didn't know the truth just clicked in and didn't know Jiang Chuyi thought she was some heavyweight new star with a strong background in the entertainment industry.
How strong a backer does she need? How big a presence does she need? Look at the group of men standing next to her. They are all popular male stars who can be on the hot search for three days for a trivial matter? The combined fighting power of their fans can easily overturn half of the circle... She would never do this in her dreams.
Jiang Chuyi felt a little tortured, every second seemed like a year, and her face was almost stiff from her fake smile.
She reminded the host in her heart.
That's enough. It would be impolite to continue.
The live broadcast room was filled with young actors who greeted Zongye and the others warmly and said they would definitely support Xibao's tour next year.
Bu Xiangchen said in a brotherly tone: "If I go to your concert, can I save a ticket?"
Zong Ye smiled faintly and did not give any other reaction.
Wang Tan pretended not to hear.
Bu Xiangchen laughed awkwardly to himself twice and stopped.
After the live broadcast ended, Jiang Chuyi, who had been extremely tense for nearly twenty minutes, suddenly relaxed.
She was in a daze for a while, then woke up as if from a dream, and immediately thanked the people around her sincerely, "Thank you for your hard work. I'm sorry that I have to help with advertising."
"Help me with advertising?" Wang Tan sneered, "Don't be embarrassed, we charge by the second."
Jiang Chuyi was stuck laughing.
Recalling the gossip that a certain agent had given her about Xi Bao's sky-high appearance fee, she knew he was definitely not joking. Jiang Chuyi immediately decided to change the subject, "Why are you all here?"
Ji Kai's expression was indescribable: "The situation is quite complicated."
"It's almost time." Wang Tan looked at his phone, "Let's go back and eat."
"That soup." Jiang Chuyi pointed.
"Put it in the fridge, you can heat it up and drink it."
*
Jiang Chuyi followed them and walked in the quiet corridor of the hotel.
In this rare moment of leisure, they all wore no makeup. Zong Ye wore sportswear and black-framed glasses, which almost covered half of his face. Under the soft light, his skin was clean and he looked like a pure male college student.
She stole a glance, and then another.
He looked straight at her, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
Jiang Chuyi explained: "This is the first time I see you wearing glasses. So you are nearsighted?"
Zongye paused for a moment, smiled, and explained to her, "It's hereditary severe myopia. I had surgery later and it's getting better. I usually only wear it at home."
I see.
Jiang Chuyi flattered him, "It's okay, you look good wearing glasses."
Hearing this, Wang Tan turned around and glanced at the two of them, "Isn't Mr. Jiang a fan of Zong Ye? How come you don't even know that he is a bespectacled guy? Are you a fake fan?"
Jiang Chuyi was shut up by him.
Unable to help herself, she quietly replied, "I'm not going to his house."
Ji Kai laughed out loud.
Following them to the door of the room, Jiang Chuyi suddenly heard a bang, like the sound of a chair hitting something.
Several people stopped.
Through the door, Xin He's clear and aggrieved cry fell into his ears: "Fu Cheng! Don't be so bullying. Aren't you just relying on the fact that I like you—"
Jiang Chuyi was dazed, with her mouth slightly open.
For a moment, she suspected that there was something wrong with her hearing.
