After finishing filming "Heart Signal", Ye Chu saw Gu Yu's advertisement on a large billboard on her way home.

"What's this?" She blinked, logged into Weibo (which she hadn't used in a while), and then clicked into Gu Yu's Weibo homepage. The pinned post was about Gu Yu endorsing Eternal Jewelry, with custom-made wedding rings as the main product.

However, the comments seemed a bit strange. Ye Chu scrolled through the comments section. Although the Weibo post about the endorsement had been published for several days, it didn't seem to stop the heated arguments. Ye Chu looked at it and saw that the main instigators were Gu Yu's die-hard fans. Then, more and more fans couldn't stand them, and the argument escalated out of control.

She quickly posted a message on Weibo saying that filming had wrapped up, then switched to WeChat.

Ye Chu: I'm done for the day!

The phone beeped with a message notification. Gu Yu put down the script in her hand and replied to the message.

Gu Yu: You've worked hard~

Ye Chu: I saw the billboard!

Gu Yu: Do you want it?

Ye Chu scratched her head. What did this mean? Did she want an advertising endorsement?

Ye Chu: No need.

"Clatter!" The pen in her hand fell to the ground. Gu Yu stared blankly at the three words "No need" on the screen, frozen in place. Ye Chu didn't want the wedding rings, which meant that they weren't dating with marriage in mind? At least, that's not what Ye Chu thought.

This is definitely not good news, at least not to Gu Dayingdi.

Gu Yu: Really don't want to?

Ye Chu: Really, it's not necessary.

The temperature in the entire study dropped. Gu Yu stared at her phone screen, trying hard to suppress the urge to throw it away.

Just then, Cheng Yuan sent a message: There was an invitation to a live broadcast program from Li Zi Channel, which would take viewers into the real lives of the actors.

Gu Yu: I'm not going.

Cheng Yuan looked at the two cold and ruthless words and wondered if something had happened to this person again. Usually, such emotional statements should not be taken seriously, so she wisely chose to keep the live stream invitation for now and ask again tomorrow when this person was in a better mood.

Ye Chu: Sister Ji just told me that I received a live broadcast invitation from Li Zi Channel. It's something about going into the real lives of actors! It sounded interesting, so I accepted! [Happy]

Gu Yu pursed her lips, still remembering the other party's grudge against not wanting to exchange rings, and replied indifferently: Okay.

He hoped Ye Chu would sense something from his indifferent reply, but unfortunately Ye Chu didn't feel anything was wrong. She just excitedly told him that thankfully the kitchen at home had been repaired.

Ye Chu: By the way, can I still come to your house for a meal later? But if you don't want your home to be exposed, I can have Sister Ji come and stay.

Gu Yu didn't reply because he made a phone call to Cheng Yuan.

"I accepted it."

Cheng Yuan was baffled: "Huh?"

"I'll accept the live stream."

The phone call ended, and Cheng Yuan looked at the invitation email she had wisely left behind, once again marveling at her excellent precognitive abilities. Indeed, you can't believe what people say when they're in a bad mood, because that's when they're most likely to say something they later regret.

On the other end, Ye Chu didn't receive a reply from Gu Yu, which she found a bit strange. Looking at her previous messages, she wondered if Gu Yu really didn't like exposing her family. So she sent another message to him.

Ye Chu: I'll have Sister Ji come and stay! You don't need to worry~

"Ding-dong—" The doorbell rang, and Ye Chu got up to open the door. Ganju ran even faster than her, as if she knew who was outside the door.

"Hello." The words had barely left her lips when Ye Chu saw a familiar face standing in the doorway: "!"

"You don't welcome your boyfriend over?" Gu Yu raised an eyebrow, looking at Ye Chu's surprised expression, and reached out to open the door for her.

Ye Chu released the doorknob and took two steps back. Gu Yu entered the room and closed the door for her.

"Why are you here?" Ye Chu helped move several cushions piled on the sofa to make room for someone to sit.

"Let's talk." Gu Yu sat down, reached out and pulled Ye Chu into his arms, hugging her like a big teddy bear. Gu Yu rarely acted this clingy; at least, Ye Chu rarely saw him like this. The other man held her very tightly, and his aura seemed off.

"What's wrong with you?" She tried to free her hands, cupped Gu Yu's face in her hands, and squeezed it a little harder.

Gu Yu took one of her hands down, held it, and kissed it.

“I was a little angry when you said you didn’t want the rings,” Gu Yu said, frowning. “But I didn’t want to keep my anger bottled up.” So I came to find you. In Gu Yu’s opinion, it was unwise to keep the frustration and resentment in your heart. Some problems should be dealt with quickly, otherwise who knows how they might ferment when they resurface.

"Wait a minute." Ye Chu looked at him strangely: "What wedding rings?" She didn't seem to remember this part.

"I asked you, and you said you didn't want to." Gu Yu was a little angry. Ye Chu's answer just now seemed to him as if she hadn't been paying attention to the conversation at all. Now that he thought about it, was her answer just a perfunctory response?

Ye Chu tried hard to recall, but could only remember the content of the WeChat chat just now: "You mean the one who asked me if I wanted it?"

Gu Yu nodded and reached out to gently pinch Ye Chu's cheek: "You said you didn't want to."

Ye Chu's cheek was being pinched by him, and she couldn't help but laugh, her expression somewhat amused: "I thought you were asking me if I wanted an advertising endorsement. I think I'll fight for it myself, I don't need you to arrange it for me."

"..." Gu Yu let go of her hand, and the room fell into an awkward silence that even the movie star found embarrassing.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Ye Chu poked the other person's lowered head with her finger. She could imagine Gu Yingdi's embarrassment at this moment, but a strange sense of pleasure rose in her heart. This feeling made the corners of her mouth keep turning up. In fact, nothing is more gratifying than the person you like caring about you so much.

"Stop fooling around." Gu Yu slapped her hand away, not with much force. He tried his best to hide his embarrassment, but Ye Chu still saw the tips of his ears turning red.

Driven by some wicked intention, Ye Chu lowered her head and gently bit his earlobe.

The touch was somewhat subtle, and Gu Yu's body trembled. Then he raised his head, his eyes turning dangerous: "Stop fooling around."

Discretion is the better part of valor, and Ye Chu obediently raised her hands to indicate that she would stop making trouble and surrender. But Gu Yu couldn't let it go so easily; he needed at least a little more time to let it go.

Ye Chu didn't dare sit on his lap anymore and quickly got up and moved away. What was funny was that she thoughtfully handed Gu Yu a pillow.

"If you do this again, I'll stay the night." Gu Yu said in a hoarse voice as he took the pillow. Ye Chu nodded rapidly, indicating that she would definitely not do it again.

"Oh right, the matching rings." After playing around for a while, Ye Chu finally remembered how it all started.

"Ahem!" After two fake coughs, Ye finally expressed that he would be happy to share a pair of meaningful rings with the other party.
