[Group Chat: It's an injustice if Sang Gege doesn't become popular (179)]

[Xiaoyu: I'm going to kill that bitch Sang Qianshan!]

[Eating a ton a day: ...? What's wrong with the group admin?]

[Little Huhu: ...What did Sang Qianshan do this time? Why is our group admin so angry?]

[Xiaoyu: Sang Qianshan stole my wife.]

[Little Huhu: Oh no, the group admin got sick from being angered by Sang Gege!]

Yu Xinyu ignored what the people in the group were saying and gripped his phone tightly, looking at his reflection in the screen's backlight—it wasn't that he was being paranoid.

It's because Cen Yu really has no friends.

Yu Xinyu had known him for many years and had deliberately intervened in his life for too long, but she did not find that Cen Yu had any friends—not even family. Cen Yu was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage.

It is said that she was about to be adopted when she was 8 years old, but returned to the orphanage for some reason and continued to grow up.

That's why, no matter what Cen Yu does or says, even his little schemes are cute and enjoyable in Yu Xinyu's eyes. Even if the other party gets angry at her, Yu Xinyu is happy to accept it.

Because of this, he also knew that Cen Yu had a very narrow circle of friends, and over the years, the only person he could still be considered a friend was Sang Qianshan.

The thought of Sang Qianshan coming to their home was unbearable.

Yu Xinyu felt like vomiting. He thought almost darkly that if Sang Qianshan were to retire from the entertainment industry now and be universally condemned, the snobbish and mercenary Cen Yu probably wouldn't be friends with him.

He sat on the sofa and thought for a long time, so engrossed that he even unconsciously tapped on his phone screen.

But in the end, the doorbell rang, jolting him out of his reverie... He glanced at the doorbell, and the next second he heard the sound of the smart lock opening, and Cen Yu appeared at the door.

Yu Xinyu wore his usual smile. He stood up, slowly walked to Cen Yu's side, adopted an innocent and carefree demeanor, and then carefully observed the expression on Cen Yu's face—

"The friend you mentioned..." He paused, "...who is it?"

After he finished speaking, it seemed as if he finally saw the tall figure standing behind Cen Yu.

The other person was dressed casually, wearing a baseball cap, glasses, and a mask, following behind Cen Yu like some kind of guardian deity.

Yu Xinyu deliberately feigned surprise—

"Oh!" he exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao Yu, why is there someone following you?"

He grabbed Cen Yu's arm, as if trying to pull him inside, "...Is it the person who was following you?"

“No.” Cen Yu turned around.

Sang Qianshan raised an eyebrow at the man wearing an apron inside the door.

"Never mind, let's go inside and talk about it."

Cen Yu glanced at Yu Xinyu, who was cautious and seemed very afraid of Sang Qianshan, and at Sang Qianshan in disguise. He also felt that the doorway was not a good place to talk, so he gestured for Sang Qianshan to change into slippers before entering the room.

He coughed deliberately only after Cen Yu closed the door.

He watched as Sang Qianshan removed his baseball cap and mask in front of Yu Xinyu, then met her gaze, and felt a surge of emotion—

This is the first meeting between the protagonist (uke) and the stock-buying seme (uke)!

He saw the two of them exchange a glance. Yu Xinyu still had a gentle smile on her face, but she looked at Sang Qianshan with a puzzled expression, as if she didn't know who he was.

Cen Yu was also stunned for a second. Could it be that Yu Xinyu did not know Sang Qianshan?

No way! Their watch ad is on a big screen in the city center, and besides, he's mentioned countless times that he knows the big star Sang Qianshan in order to show off.

Just a few days ago, Cen Yu asked me if I had contacted Sang Qianshan.

Or perhaps the other party only knew Sang Qianshan's name but not what he looked like...? He was puzzled, but outwardly maintained a smug expression—

“This is my brother, Sang Qianshan, a big star!” He deliberately emphasized the words “big star” to Yu Xinyu. “You know him, right? I’ve mentioned him to you before, he’s my good buddy.”

Yu Xinyu looked Sang Qianshan up and down with eyes like a deer.

Seemingly finding the other person's unsmiling demeanor somewhat intimidating, she cautiously approached Cen Yu and whispered in his ear—

"Honey, so this is what he really looks like...?"

"?" What's with that really disgusted tone of yours?

Cen Yu was shocked.

He clearly remembered that Cen Yu had specifically asked Sang Qianshan if he had been in contact with him just a few days ago, so why was he acting as if he didn't know him at all now?

Yu Xinyu looked at Cen Yu's puzzled profile and then asked, "Is he a TV drama actor?"

“Yes,” Sang Qianshan said.

He had indeed acted in television dramas, and he only responded to see how the person in front of him was going to act.

The moment Mingming opened the door and saw himself, the disgust in his eyes was almost impossible to hide... Cen Yu had said that he would introduce them to each other if he had the chance, and that he had mentioned him before, so why was he pretending that he had never met him before?

"I'm sorry," Yu Xinyu said with an apologetic smile. "I don't usually watch those idol dramas, so I probably haven't seen any of the shows you've acted in."

"Can you tell me your name?" Yu Xinyu asked Sang Qianshan.

"I can search for it when I have time later."

"No need," Sang Qianshan said. "They're not famous at all, not worth watching."

"..." Cen Yu felt that these two were speaking with veiled barbs.

However, on the other hand, it seems that Sang Qianshan just has this bad temper.

She was probably a little annoyed that her crush (or someone else) didn't recognize her!

Thinking of this, Cen Yu spoke up, "I've mentioned to you so many times before that I know Sang Qianshan, and you even asked me if I've been in contact with him recently. Haven't you searched his name?"

"He's very famous, a big star." He tried his best to say good things about Sang Qianshan.

Then it sets the stage for the upcoming plot.

"I'm about to film a variety show on Durian TV, the kind where I travel with my non-celebrity friends." Cen Yu forced an envious expression. "This is a great opportunity to become famous!"

So, Yu Xinyu, you've got your hands on her!

Don't get hung up on that scumbag guy.

"A variety show on Durian TV?" Yu Xinyu looked surprised upon hearing this.

He looked at Sang Qianshan, "Mr. Sang, are you also going to be on this variety show?"

"I'd only heard that Pei Zhe was going to be on it," he said, mentioning the name of Sang Qianshan's rival, then looked surprised. "I didn't expect Mr. Sang to be on this variety show too?"

Sang Qianshan was now certain that the other party had indeed done it on purpose.

Yu Xinyu knew that Pei Zhe was going to be on this variety show, so it was impossible that she didn't know he was going to be on it too. Durian TV was just using him as a gimmick.

Looking at the gentle and innocent-looking Yu Xinyu, and Cen Yu still explaining the content of the variety show to Yu Xinyu, he really wondered if Cen Yu had been kicked in the head by a donkey!

How could anyone mistake this carnivorous plant for a pure white lotus?!
