Cen Yu couldn't take it anymore, so she turned off the video and then looked awkwardly at Gu Hanyin, who was driving beside her. "Haha, that's pretty outrageous."

"I don't know when it was taken."

"I didn't even see where the paparazzi were."

When people feel awkward, they tend to act very busy, which is exactly Cen Yu's current state.

He rambled on about a bunch of random things, then cautiously glanced at Gu Hanyin's expression beside him, only to find that the other was focused on driving and didn't seem to care about what he was saying.

"..." Then why is he so nervous?

Perhaps Cen Yu's excitement and silence were too obvious, so Gu Hanyin looked at him and said, "It's nothing."

He offered words of comfort.

Traffic jams had started to appear on the road, and the cars were slowing down.

For the first time, Cen Yu cursed the traffic situation in his heart. He secretly opened the navigation and took a look. When he saw the red traffic jam sign that seemed to have no end, he wished he could pinch his philtrum and faint.

—Heaven has forsaken me!

It's only a 2-kilometer stretch of road, but the estimated travel time is at least half an hour.

Cen Yu regretted that he hesitated for a second when leaving the company building, otherwise he would have taken the subway home long ago.

Silently watching the rear of the car in front of him, Cen Yu noticed a message on his phone—

[Grand Eunuch: You're with Gu Hanyin?]

“…” Cen Yu sighed inwardly.

I have absolutely no curiosity about how He Ci found out about the news.

If He Ci isn't blind or deaf, he should be able to see the news online and hear the rumors in the company.

He just didn't expect He Ci's news to come so quickly.

[Yu: ...Yes.]

[Grand Eunuch: You really didn't know Gu Hanyin before?]

Not to mention He Ci's suspicions, even Cen Yu himself had doubts—

Has he lost his memory?!

Could it be that he and Gu Hanyin had a childhood sweetheart relationship that he just forgot?!

Otherwise, why would Gu Hanyin be so "friendly" to him? He had heard that Gu Hanyin basically didn't associate with people in the industry, except for a few business partners.

[Yu: We might be childhood sweethearts.]

[Grand Eunuch: Really? But the place Gu Hanyin used to live in... can you afford to live there?]

Haha, there's no need to be so realistic!

Although he couldn't afford to live in the place Gu Hanyin used to live, maybe his family members were servants in Gu Hanyin's household?

Isn't that how it's always portrayed in novels?

In fact, Cen Yu's past was very simple. This instance was not a puzzle-solving or exploration type, and it didn't give him any room to maneuver.

[Yu: To be honest, I don't know either!]

[Yu: Surely it's not that you've fallen for me?!]

[The Grand Eunuch: ...I advise you to stop daydreaming.]

Perhaps it was because Cen Yu's head was down and he was frantically sending messages that he was too conspicuous. Gu Hanyin held the steering wheel with one hand and rested her other hand on the car window, observing for a moment before finally speaking, "Is someone asking you about something?"

The only people who could make Cen Yu abandon him and chat in front of a senior like himself were probably from the company.

Gu Hanyin guessed that the person he sent the message to was probably He Ci.

Of course, Gu Hanyin only made this guess because he doesn't know Cen Yu well. If he knew more about her, he would know that no matter who was on the other end, Cen Yu would have a very pleasant conversation.

He didn't consider himself an outsider at all; the image of a small actor being cautious and timid in front of a big director, as Gu Hanyin had imagined, simply didn't exist.

“Yes.” Cen Yu glanced at He Ci’s message, then turned to Gu Hanyin. “He asked me what our relationship is.”

“I said I might have worked as a maid in your house when I was a child.”

Gu Hanyin originally thought that Cen Yu would say "it was a chance encounter" or some other reason, but he did not expect Cen Yu to give an answer that he had never thought of.

He couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

"Could she have worked as a maid in my house?"

“Because I know my family probably can’t afford a house near yours,” Cen Yu said. “Then I can only work as a maid in your house.”

Gu Hanyin took a moment to understand Cen Yu's thought process. "You mean you suspect we knew each other before?"

“Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense.” Cen Yu sighed deeply. “I told He Ci that I was a star descended from heaven, and the big director wanted me to be his muse, but he just told me to get lost.”

"Or is it more likely that we knew each other before, but I have amnesia?"

Cen Yu looked at Gu Hanyin's expression and asked, "So, young master, have we met before?"

This was the first time Gu Hanyin had met someone like Cen Yu.

He has encountered actors who are "outgoing" before, but most of them have a clear purpose.

But he was certain that when Cen Yu said those words to him, it was less about testing what he could offer him and more about genuine curiosity about why he was treating him differently.

At this moment, the car in front moved forward slightly.

Gu Hanyin also moved forward a little.

Perhaps because it was rush hour, they still had a long time before reaching their destination. He knew that if he couldn't get an answer, Cen Yu would probably keep thinking about it. Gu Hanyin looked at the license plate of the car in front of them and finally asked, "Do you know the plot of 'Dog Journey'?"

Although Cen Yu was unaware of the specific plot details.

However, I had a general idea of ​​the plot outline when the project was first initiated.

Sun Biao, a not-so-good guy, and Qian Aige, a petty thug, are forced to take Sun Biao, who has been turned into a fool, to their destination because of a honey trap, a weapon that hits his head, and a huge reward of 500,000 yuan.

He encountered many people and events along the way, but at the very last moment before reaching his destination, Sun Biao truly came to his senses...

This short storyline has been analyzed and discussed countless times by numerous entertainment groups and anonymous forums.

Gu Hanyin is a well-known figure. Although he did not win an award at the last international film festival, he won the Best Director award in China, and Sister Yu also won the Best Actress award.

In particular, another lead actor in this film is Ji Hengyun, Gu Hanyin's longtime partner.

Although playing Qian Aige might not win Best Actress, getting Best Newcomer or Best Supporting Actor would be the best ticket to entry for those of them who want to break into the film industry.

In addition, Gu Hanyin specifically mentioned the need for newcomers and also specified age requirements.

This has led to a situation where some people with high popularity, who also want to break into the film industry, are all vying for a piece of the pie.

Even if they themselves don't want to bite, their fans want to bite for them.

"I know a little." Cen Yu pinched his thumb and forefinger together and made a gesture. The next second he thought, "Luckily I'm not somewhere else, otherwise I would have been criticized for this gesture."

"Those are the ones circulating online."

The car stopped again, and Gu Hanyin continued to look at the license plate of the car in front. "Qian Aige and Sun Biao first met in the toilet."
