Chapter 28: Unprecedented Pleasure

Heard?

Wen Nian knew without asking that he had heard it from her parents.

In fact, I had no intention of telling them where I was, as it would be troublesome. It just happened that when I was talking to A Yue on the phone, her brother heard it and he turned around and ran away.

I guess they also turned around and shook it off.

In fact, her parents might be closer to Chu Yuxuan than to her. They always use him to PUA her, saying how good he is at studying and how he brings honor to the family, and they want her to learn from him.

He would go to her house to show his courtesy during festivals and always take her with him.

Wen Nian felt ashamed at that time. She always followed her mother like a piece of wood, answering only one question when someone asked her, and was reluctant to say a word when no one asked her.

When he got together with Chu Yuxuan, the atmosphere was indescribable. The two of them rarely spoke more than ten sentences.

Admittedly, he had excellent academic performance and even topped the provincial college entrance exam. Therefore, Wen Nian still felt that there might be a cultural barrier when talking to such a person.

She thought for two seconds and typed: Sure, Brother Chu.

This was the name her mother taught her.

As soon as I finished typing, I felt a strong sense of shame rushing into my brain. The two words "brother" didn't stay on the keyboard for two seconds before they were deleted immediately.

Wen Nian finally thought it over carefully and sent two words: [Okay.]

At the same time, in Ningcheng, thousands of miles away.

The man with cold brows stared at the prompt that appeared above the screen for nearly half a minute, indicating that the other party was typing.

My heartbeat subconsciously stopped.

The moment I saw the pop-up message, my eyelashes fluttered and I breathed a sigh of relief.

[Okay, I'll contact you in advance.]

—

Coincidentally, just as Ning Cheng was mentioned, Wen Nian was assigned a job for Ning Cheng when he went to work this Monday.

Tian Xingyu was squeezed into a variety show. When filming was about to begin, her personal assistant had an emergency at home and was determined to leave.

No matter how small a star is, he or she must have someone to take care of him or her.

There is no other way but to find another mentor for him.

This matter went around and around, and finally fell on Wen Nian.

She was originally in charge of his marketing editing. In addition to taking over the trivial matters that the assistant needed to do, she was also assigned another job: to help him shoot some real-time materials and send them to major platforms. At the same time, she tried to get more appearances from the director and provided some editing suggestions about Tian Xingyu.

Tian Xingyu is at the beginning of her career. This variety show has several big names participating, which is a great opportunity for exposure. The importance of this matter is self-evident.

If this person wasn't Tian Xingyu, Wen Nian would actually be unwilling to do it.

This job is a bit too much of a compliment to her. It's both mentally and physically demanding. It not only tests her social skills and marketing tactics, but is also a big challenge to her editing skills.

So she applied for a raise.

The next day, he boarded the plane with Tian Xingyu.

Wen Nian had originally planned to buy a business class ticket no matter what, after all, with a celebrity by his side, he needed to ensure privacy.

Tian Xingyu insisted on flying in economy class, saying it was cheaper.

After sitting down, Wen Nian glanced at Tian Xingyu, who was leisurely listening to music beside him, and hesitantly reminded: "Senior, do you want to wear a mask?"

"Huh?" Tian Xingyu crossed her legs and said calmly, "Oh, no need. I'm just a nobody, so even if I dance on this plane, I guess no one will care."

Wen Nian pursed her lips and remained silent.

"By the way, Nian Nian, do you know how to put on makeup?"

She nodded: "Yes, but not professionally."

"That's good. I don't even have a makeup artist. Although the production team might provide one, I don't think they'll take me seriously."

"..." Wen Nian smiled and joked, "I didn't expect that the senior is quite self-aware."

Tian Xingyu glared at her and said, "Of course. In this circle, if you don't know your place, you probably won't live to see the dawn."

"But you don't have to feel too stressed. I'm not in a rush, and I don't expect to be famous in the future. I'm comfortable now, and just want to make a living."

Wen Nian disagreed. "I think this industry is one of survival of the fittest. If you stand still, you'll just be squeezed out. It's not easy to make a living in peace."

"You know quite a lot." Tian Xingyu laughed. "It seems there's no way to calm you down. Then let's work hard together. I'm really putting this in a difficult position for you. You're almost like my manager."

Wen Nian said "oh" and cooperated: "Then I can add another important part to my profile. Thank you, Mr. Tian."

The two of them chatted and laughed, and the boring time became more bearable.

After a while, Tian Xingyu suddenly mentioned Xu Zhijian and asked her if she had ever dated him.

Wen Nian was surprised: "How do you know?"

Seeing her admit it, Tian Xingyu clicked his tongue twice.

"The audio of you two arguing on the cruise ship was leaked online. I immediately knew it was you. Then I remembered that I saw you and Xu Zhijian getting along quite well a while ago. Plus, I saw that photo that was circulated online, so I was immediately sure."

Wen Nian frowned: "?"

The content of the photo was not something glorious. She was so caught off guard by being commented on in person by an acquaintance that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

Tian Xingyu didn't think there was anything wrong.

It's normal for children to fall in love, but their eyesight is not very good.

"You don't know?" Seeing her shake her head blankly, he put the earphones in her ears and said, "Listen, this clip has gone viral on all major platforms. Now the entire internet is buzzing about Xu Zhijian being angrily scolded by his girlfriend. The buzz is ridiculous."

The harsh words made her head buzz.

Wen Nian had hardly checked his phone this week, and he had no idea why the "slacking off" group, which used to always mention any big news, was so strangely silent this time.

She also didn't realize that everyone in the studio was looking at her strangely this week.

In fact, as soon as Qingqing saw Xu Zhijian leaving the company, she couldn't help but tell him about this.

Listening to the nearly thirty-second argument, she felt an indescribable irritation: "Are there so many paparazzi on the cruise ship? They've been exposed twice in a row."

Tian Xingyu made no secret of it: "Of course, those on that cruise ship are all children of wealthy families, and there must be many people who want to find out some secrets from them."

"However, I'm still surprised that you'd be dating Xu Zhijian. He has such a bad temper and was spoiled since childhood. You must have suffered a lot being with him. It's a good thing you broke up with him."

Thumbs up: "That scolding was so cool, it made me so excited."

Wen Nian didn't know what to say for a moment, and really didn't want to talk about the bad things that happened between him and Xu Zhijian in the past. He changed the subject: "I see that the relationship between senior and him is not very good. Is there any conflict?"

When Tian Xingyu mentioned this, his face flushed. He touched his head and said embarrassedly, "Oh, this is a long story. Please don't laugh at me."

Wen Nian: "No."

He symbolically took a sip of water: "Hmm... Among the celebrities that Xu Zhijian has beaten, I am one of them."

"Ah?" She was silent.

"Why that expression?" He coughed twice and said, "I was drunk and had a blackout, so I got into trouble."

"What disaster?"

Tian Xingyu paused for two seconds: "He was causing trouble and almost smashed the bar counter."

Not only that, he also acted crazy while drunk, showing off that he was a big star, asking for drinks, and even went to Xu Zhijian's table and sprayed him all over.

Wen Nian: "..."

Smile politely.

"Hiss." Tian Xingyu: "Didn't you agree not to make fun of me?"

"Although, he was really ruthless when he hit people. He must have been trained, and he could even avoid the vital parts. I still have a psychological trauma. I feel scared when I hear his voice from far away."

Not wanting to talk about this humiliating past, he leisurely drank a sip of water. "By the way, was he also this irritable when he was with you? Did you break up with him because of this? I'm not gossiping, I'm just purely curious."

Wen Nian was speechless.

Is there any difference between gossip and curiosity?

"Tell me about it." He chuckled, looking expectant.

This question stumped Wen Nian.

The word "definitely" popped up in her mind subconsciously, because Xu Zhijian was always very strong, and the first impression he gave people was that of a bastard who did no good.

But thinking about it carefully, the irritability that Tian Xingyu described seemed a little different from his own. Xu Zhijian did have a bad temper, but it was mostly just his words.

She had rarely seen him fight with others. The only time was when he rescued Xiaoxiao. The gang of thugs wanted to skin him alive, and she finally helped them.

Anything more is just what I heard from others.

I don’t know the full picture, so I can’t comment.

In short, in Wen Nian's personal impression, Xu Zhijian is not a violent person who hits people for no reason. If that were the case, she would not have been with him for so long while putting herself in a difficult position.

She thought she was quite sober and would not like someone who was not worthy of her love.

As for some of the conflicts between her and him...

Wen Nian had hit him, kicked him, cursed him with all kinds of nasty words, and sometimes even humiliated him in public.

Perhaps it was because of his heartless nature, or perhaps it was because he doted on her, Xu Zhijian never really took it to heart. He would just complain a few words each time, show his backbone, and then let it go.

When he was more extreme, like a few days ago, he would either pinch her viciously or take advantage of her with a sullen face.

And she had always foreseen such situations in the past.

Wen Nian knew how to irritate him, how to make him irritated and unable to vent his anger.

Now, I also know how to make him suffer.

Even if it came at the cost of hurting herself, she felt happy and happier than ever before.

"Nian Nian?"

Wen Nian suppressed the darkness in his eyes and smiled: "That's about right. He has a rather unpleasant personality."

For some reason, Tian Xingyu felt that her smile was a little creepy.

She pursed her lips and didn't dare to speak anymore.

I almost forgot, you can’t discuss your ex with someone you just broke up with.

—

The filming location for this episode was on a mountain on the edge of Ningcheng.

After getting off the plane, the two went to the hotel at the foot of the mountain.

The only advantage of being an unknown person is that you don’t have to worry about being followed wherever you go, and you don’t have to hide from place to place. You can have a smooth journey.

Unless you run into a big shot.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't push, don't push, your master won't be here for a while, can you please let us in first, sisters?"

Tian Xingyu led the way ahead with a look of despair on his face.

Before he had taken two steps, there was a loud explosion behind him and a roar.

...Not good.

At the same time, the group of people in front rushed over like wild horses that had lost their reins, with blazing eyes.

"No, no, no! There's someone here!" Tian Xingyu stood in front of Wen Nian with a look of horror on her face, her cries drowned out by the enthusiasm of her brother and husband.

When the crowd left, only the mess was left on the ground.

Picking up the bag on the ground and patting it, Tian Xingyu's face darkened and he said angrily, "I'm really impressed. It's more intimate than meeting my own mother!"

Wen Nian sighed and made no comment.

"Let's go quickly, there will probably be another wave coming later."

When I arrived at the hotel entrance, I bumped into two middle-aged men who were walking in a hurry.

"Hey!" Tian Xingyu was overjoyed, as if she had seen gold, and raised her hand to say hello.

Being directly ignored.

One person, while adjusting his clothes, reminded the people beside him, "Be sure to be careful with your words and conversation later. Try to leave a good impression on those people. Don't lose your composure."

"Also, that guy is also well taken care of. He's a big traffic star lately, so hurry up and get two episodes."

Tian Xingyu still raised her hand loosely, glanced at the two people walking away with the corner of her eyes, and rubbed her teeth secretly.

"cut."

Wen Nian stared at the surrounded nanny car in the distance and chuckled, "Are you envious?"

"What's there to envy?" He stepped forward and said angrily, "Just a flattering fence-sitter."

She followed and stabbed the knife: "It's really something to be envied. Compared to them, we are like homeless people."

"Little mouth, stop talking."

After one hurdle after another, he just reached the door and was stopped by the security guard: "Sorry, no one who does not need to be here is allowed to enter."

Tian Xingyu's face darkened even more, and he almost spit out saliva in the other person's face: "Do you think I look like an insignificant person?"

The security guard stepped back silently, observing him politely for a few seconds, and smiled: "Please cooperate."

“…I’m about to explode.”

"Okay." Wen Nian stepped forward with a smile: "Hello, this is our identification."

After looking at the two of them again and again, the security guard let them go and apologized embarrassedly.

Tian Xingyu snorted and strode in with his head held high.
