In the past, Lou Baichuan would never have opened his phone.

But upon hearing the name Tianhe Building, he inexplicably opened his phone and started searching for Su Sang Qianshan's name. Meanwhile, Qiang Yuanqing, who had just been thinking how incredibly boring this group was, suddenly saw Lou Baichuan also start searching—

Qiang Yuanqing: ...

I didn't know you were such a gossip!

He gave Lou Baichuan a complicated look, while Lou Baichuan was completely unaware, because he immediately recognized the person next to Sang Qianshan in the paparazzi's videos and photos—

It was truly melancholy!

In the video, Sang Qianshan is seen wearing a baseball cap and glasses. After arriving at the Tianhe Building, he starts talking into his phone, clearly sending a voice message.

In the video, Sang Qianshan is holding the steering wheel with one hand while talking to his phone.

Then I put my phone aside and drove straight to the underground parking garage of Tianhe Building.

At this moment, the paparazzi even added a cheeky voiceover—

[Huh?! This paparazzi was out to dinner with friends today, but I ran into our male god Sang downstairs at a building?! Judging from his hurried appearance, could he be picking someone up from work...?]

The next scene showed paparazzi following Sang Qianshan to the underground parking garage.

After parking, Sang Qianshan started looking down at his phone and didn't look up once.

About ten minutes later, a figure appeared in the frame. The person was dressed casually, and the moment the figure appeared, Sang Qianshan put his phone away.

Sang Qianshan's face even showed a smile after the person opened the door and got into the car.

After exchanging a few more words, Sang Qianshan drove the car away from the parking lot.

[Who knew our idol actually picked someone up from get off work? But don't worry, all you female fans, he was just picking up his 'good buddy' from get off work!]

When the paparazzi mentioned his "good brother," he emphasized the pronunciation, as if he was stressing something.

Then the paparazzi added a voiceover—

The last time I saw my idol smile was when he won Best Actor. It's so rare to see him smile! This friend seems extremely important to him… Could it be that ordinary friend?!

Lou Baichuan couldn't stand the noisy commentary any longer, so he immediately muted it.

Then he watched as Sang Qianshan escorted Cen Yu to a very familiar place, the home of Cen Yu that he had seen before.

The paparazzi did not go upstairs; they only captured images of Sang Qianshan and Cen Yu going upstairs together.

Lou Baichuan frowned.

The comments section of the Weibo post was already a battle between fans and haters, with all sorts of opinions being expressed... He frowned even more when he saw someone speculating that Sang Qianshan and Cen Yu were in a secret relationship.

What nonsense are these people talking about? Cen Yu clearly already has a boyfriend.

Qiang Yuanqing, who was standing to the side, took in the changes in his expression.

He hadn't expected Lou Baichuan to have such expressive moments, and he couldn't help but search for related information—only to find that there was no need to search at all, as it was already trending on Weibo.

However, apart from Sang Qianshan himself, this mysterious friend was only shown in profile at most...

He definitely looks like a man, and a good-looking one at that.

Qiang Yuanqing really didn't understand why everyone around him had fallen for men lately. He closed Weibo with some disinterest and watched as Lou Baichuan put his phone away as well.

The two chatted casually about various topics on the terrace.

But Qiang Yuanqing could clearly sense that Lou Baichuan was distracted.

...

As soon as Cen Yu entered the company, she felt the subtle scrutiny of the people around her.

He felt a little strange. After clocking in, he headed to his workstation and saw the designer he was on good terms with—

"I'm sorry for offending you." The red-haired girl clasped her hands in a fist salute to herself. "Don't tell Sang Qianshan that I mocked him for needing to rent a friend."

"I never expected to be so blind as to not recognize your greatness. My apologies."

After finishing his design for the red hair, he vanished in a flash.

Cen Yu: "...?"

Why are you being so mysterious?

Cen Yu felt a little confused, but he slowly returned to his workstation. Before he could sit down, Gao Lanyuan, who was next to him, also spoke.

Was it Sang Qianshan who picked you up yesterday?

"Ah...ah?!" Cen Yu subconsciously wanted to respond, but the next second he looked at Gao Lanyuan in shock. He was about to tell her to keep a low profile when he noticed that everyone in the office was quietly glancing at him.

What does this mean?

He was somewhat confused.

He looked at Gao Lanyuan and asked, "How did you know?"

Gao Lanyuan beckoned to him with her finger.

Cen Yu looked over, and Gao Lanyuan directly turned her computer screen to show him—

“A big shot, huh?” Gao Lanyuan looked at Cen Yu with a half-smile. “I think the whole company knows.”

Cen Yu stared wide-eyed at the news headline—

Sang Qianshan meets a "mysterious friend" at night! Escorts them upstairs... The battle ends in two hours, and they hurriedly leave!

Looking at the high-definition close-up of Sang Qianshan's face and half of his own profile, he wished he could spit blood onto Gao Lanyuan's screen to prove his innocence!

How could this paparazzi spread rumors?!

What do you mean by finishing the battle in 2 hours and leaving in a hurry?!

What's wrong with spending two hours treating a friend to a meal?

He nearly vomited blood, but facing Gao Lanyuan's gaze and the subtly gossipy stares of those around him, he calmly spoke—

“Yes…” he added, “but the other person and I were just college classmates.”

We met and had dinner yesterday.

"Did we eat at your house?" Gao Lanyuan asked.
