Chapter 61 Is this more embarrassing than an ordinary encounter?

In the square courtyard, Cheng Luanxin sat in boredom for half the night.

I didn't do anything else but stare blankly at the iron gate.

The weather is very good tonight, with the stars and the moon shining together, and the autumn insects whispering. It is not like in novels and movies, where the protagonists always encounter a heavy rain when they break up, and the two of them cry heartbreakingly in the rain.

Cheng Luanxin didn't feel like crying, but she felt her heart was heavy, her limbs were weak, her brain was like it was rusted, and the rhythm of her whole body slowed down.

Ah, this is probably what is described in novels, "as if the soul has been sucked out."

Then her soul might not have been sucked out, but she was scared away. After all, the slam of the door when Song Qiuchi slammed it was really loud.

What was she thinking as she slammed the door and left? Would she resent him for having deceived her?

I think so.

After all, the pampered young lady lowered herself for her own sake and came to this remote village to do the laundry and cooking for her, but in the end, it was just a "show effect". Anyone would be angry.

well.

Did she find a place to stay? Cong Wan said that all the small hotels in town were full. It was so late, could Song Qiuchi still find a homestay?

Cheng Luanxin picked up her phone and opened the chat interface with Song Qiuchi. She wanted to comfort her, but she was hesitant to do it.

At this point, no matter what is posted, it will seem hypocritical.

It would be fine if she found a place to live, but what if she didn’t? Could we really invite her back?

Impossible. What's more, Song Qiuchi didn't forgive her at all, and even her "I'm sorry" didn't get a response.

Cheng Luanxin sighed deeply.

It's too difficult.

Why did Song Qiuchi insist on becoming her lover? Wouldn't it be fine to just be friends like before? Cheng Luanxin missed the days of filming the dating variety show. Although there were some awkward moments between the two of them, it was also simple and pure, and they could say whatever they wanted without any scruples.

But now, even restoring their friendship has become a luxury for the two.

Cheng Luanxin had never felt so confused before. She knew that she was at fault, but she couldn't help feeling wronged.

It would be nice if I could melt into the vast night.

No matter what, life goes on.

Although Cheng Luanxin had almost no sleep all night, she still forced herself to be alert and went to the set early the next morning.

The crew members were unaware that Cheng Luanxin and Song Qiuchi had fallen out, and they were still laughing and joking with them. Cheng Luanxin didn't know what to say, so she could only force a smile to deal with it.

The crew's filming deadline in Sutang was coming to an end, and the pace of filming had become even tighter, requiring every actor to be on the lookout for opportunities. Cheng Luanxin knew she needed to be incredibly focused, but she couldn't help but be distracted, constantly thinking of Song Qiuchi.

I wonder if she has returned home safely now and whether she has calmed down.

Even during the filming process, she would recall the times a few days ago when Song Qiuchi discussed and rehearsed the play with her at home.

After this happened three times, Director Wu, who had always admired Cheng Luanxin, couldn't help but lose his temper and slammed the script on the table: "Xiao Song, what's wrong with you today? In order to accommodate your schedule, the crew has made the greatest compromise, what about you? Is this your sincerity? Can you produce a good film with this attitude? Okay, everyone take a break. I'll give you ten minutes to calm down and adjust your mood before coming back!"

There was a low pressure on the set and no one said a word.

Cheng Luan knew that she was in the wrong and could only bow deeply to Director Wu.

Cong Wanqin heard the loud bang when Song Qiuchi slammed the door and watched Cheng Luanxin sit there in a daze until midnight. She was very worried: "Teacher Song, are you okay?"

Cheng Luanxin waved her hand: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me."

Cong Wan comforted him, "Although I don't know what happened between you two, it's normal for couples to quarrel... Just focus on filming first, and I'll help you contact Teacher Cheng, okay?"

"No need! It's not... Contacting her will help..." Cheng Luanxin quickly spoke up to stop them. Now that they hadn't found a way to solve the problem, continuing to contact her would only be ineffective communication. "It's my fault for not adjusting my state well that the progress has been delayed. It has nothing to do with her."

Cong Wan said cautiously, "Then I won't bother you. Just calm down and adjust your state."

Cheng Luanxin took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. Song Qiuchi was a professional actor and would never lose her composure over something like this. At this point, all she could do for Song Qiuchi was to make this play a success and not let things get any worse.

After adjusting her mood, Cheng Luanxin's condition had obviously improved. But during the break, she couldn't help but want to check her phone. She didn't expect Song Qiuchi to send her a message, but at least she could see what she had updated.

However, there was no splash either on Weibo or Moments.

On the third day after Song Qiuchi left, the first episode of "Romance to You" was broadcast on the online platform.

Cheng Luanxin, of course, didn't have time to watch the show, but she did find time to check Weibo. The first episode featured the first group activity, which was the first encounter at the amusement park. There wasn't much interaction, so the audience was all buying shares, and there were also some skeptical voices:

"It's finally airing!!! I've been waiting so long!!! Let me see if Chi Xin Mi Shu is really as sweet as the legends describe!!!"

"From the first episode, there's no sign of a romantic relationship between them. Are they just friends?"

"But Cheng Luanxin confessed to Song Qiuchi at the Guava Music Festival! It was so grand, they must be together, right?"

"Cheng Luanxin is a musician herself, maybe this is just a gimmick to attract attention for joining the Guava team?"

"I don't have any feelings for Chi Xin secretly, it's all hype. If the two of them hadn't teamed up to do something, Zhi Ruo wouldn't have withdrawn from the competition."

…

Looking at these malicious speculations, Cheng Luanxin felt only irony. If it was really hype, it would be great. She wouldn't have to suffer the pain of love here.

On the seventh day, the crew officially wrapped up filming in Sutang, giving everyone a three-day holiday. After three days, the crew will head to their next location, Youma Film and Television City.

Youma Film and Television City is a newly emerged film and television shooting base in the past two years. It is large in scale and has a complete range of scenes. It is suitable for the shooting of various styles of film and television works and is very popular among directors.

The filming conditions there are a hundred times better than those in rural towns, and life is very convenient, so the actors don't have to worry about anything. They just need to recuperate in these three days and adjust their state to prepare for the next stage of filming.

But these three days were a hurdle for Cheng Luanxin because she had to attend the wrap-up party of "Romance to You".

Since the recording locations for the last week of "Romance to You" were scattered and the guests had their own work schedules, the wrap-up party was postponed to this week.

This wrap-up party has fully taken into account the work schedules of all guests and staff. Unless unexpected happens, everyone will attend.

In other words, Cheng Luanxin would meet Song Qiuchi on that day.

When Cheng Luanxin thought about meeting Song Qiuchi, she became so anxious that she couldn't sleep and her hair fell out in clumps.

Of course she wanted to see Song Qiuchi. Song Qiuchi seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth these days, with no news from him at all. It would be a lie to say that she wasn't worried.

But, Song Qiuchi may not want to see her?

No normal person would want to meet a love scammer, let alone someone as arrogant as Song Qiuchi.

Based on her understanding of Song Qiuchi, Song Qiuchi would most likely not give her a good look. No, he might even feel it was unnecessary to look at her.

At that time, while other guests were interacting intimately, only the two of them broke up right after the performance and sat in different corners of the room, and had to deal with questions from other guests. Oh my God, it was so embarrassing and painful.

She returned home with unrealistic fantasies, hoping to open the door and see Song Qiuchi still in the room, smiling at her.

There's no need to smile, just scold her.

Of course, there was nothing when he opened the door. It was cold, deserted and clean. Song Qiuchi had taken everything away, not even a hair was left.

Cheng Luanxin sighed again.

The production team, with its deep pockets, booked the entire venue for the wrap-up banquet at a revolving buffet restaurant on the riverside. Located on the top floor of the Mingxin Building, the restaurant offers a panoramic view of the city's vibrant nightlife, making it a popular spot among young people.

Although she didn't want to face it, Cheng Luanxin still dressed up carefully. She studied Song Qiuchi's makeup and outfits from hundreds of photos, completely following Song Qiuchi's daily habits and aesthetics, shaping herself to be more like Song Qiuchi than Song Qiuchi himself.

I dare not make any more mistakes.

She arrived at Mingxin Building three hours in advance, but was afraid that coming too early would seem too deliberate, so she found a window seat in the coffee shop on the first floor. She memorized the script while keeping an eye on the movements outside the window, intending to wait until everyone had arrived before going upstairs.

Soon, the production crew arrived in groups of three or five, and the guests followed suit. Cheng Luanxin saw Su Ling, Bian Ning, Duan Mengshu, and He Ran all going upstairs, and felt the time had come. She peeped out of the cafe and headed towards the main entrance of the building.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a familiar car drove into the parking lot entrance.

That’s Yu Peiyin’s car!

Cheng Luan was startled and quickly hid in the Mingxin Building.

She thought to herself that this was not a good start. No matter how hard she tried to dodge, she still bumped into Song Qiuchi!

However, there were not many parking spaces here, and it would take some time for Yu Peiyin to park. While she was parking, he could still rush upstairs.

Thinking of this, Cheng Luanxin quickened her pace and ran towards the elevator.

Different floors of Mingxin Building housed different office and commercial areas, and there were long lines at each elevator entrance. Cheng Luanxin found the smallest group and followed behind, anxiously watching for Song Qiuchi to enter, silently praying.

Fortunately, the elevator door opened soon. Cheng Luanxin followed the crowd into the elevator and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The elevator began to slowly ascend, and Cheng Luanxin just remembered that she hadn't pressed the number for a floor. She looked up and was stunned when she saw the control panel. It only showed floors one to seven... and not the thirty-second floor she wanted to go to.

Looking up again - it's an elevator for internal staff only.

…No wonder there are so few people queuing.

Cheng Luan panicked: "I got into the wrong elevator. Can I still get down now?"

Someone nearby answered, "You have to go up before you can go down, right?"

Don’t be so unlucky... At this height, there’s no guarantee that you might bump into Song Qiuchi when you go down. Walking out of the elevator reserved for internal staff, this would be even more embarrassing than an ordinary encounter, right?

Cheng Luanxin even wanted to find a random floor to hide, but when she saw the "No Admittance" sign at the entrance of each floor, she backed off.

She had no choice but to follow the elevator from bottom to top and then back to top, and walked out of the elevator with her head down, surrounded by the crowd.

She was afraid that she would see Song Qiuchi's shadow if she looked up, but she gritted her teeth and raised her head with difficulty.

There was still a crowded crowd in front of her, everyone was focused on their own things, and no one paid attention to her.

Naturally, Song Qiuchi was not there either.

Cheng Luanxin's face was even redder than before, and it felt hot.

What on earth am I doing? I'm like a fool.

What she didn't know was that at this moment, Song Qiuchi was in the coffee shop, sitting in the seat she had just left, frowning and taking a sip of iced American coffee.

She usually didn't have the habit of looking around when riding in a car. As luck would have it, the moment the car turned into the parking lot, she looked up and saw Cheng Luanxin.

I also saw her silly look as she ran away in panic.

It has to be said that before coming here, she had a glimmer of hope that things would turn around.

However, it turned out that pinning hopes on Cheng Luanxin was really stupid.
