Cheng Che wanted to scold her harshly to wake her up, but he couldn't bear it. "Why are you making it so hard on yourself? It's been so many years. If Brother Jin wanted to like you, he would have liked you a long time ago. Can't you just move on?"
"What right do you have to criticize me? How good are you?" Xue Shuyi looked straight at him and questioned.
Cheng Che was stunned. Yes, he had liked Xue Shuyi for as long as Xue Shuyi had liked Lu Jinzhou. He was the one who tried to persuade her, so how good was he?
He silently picked up the wine next to him and took a big gulp.
Xue Shuyi has always known that Cheng Che likes her, and Cheng Che is a good person, which is undeniable, but she just feels that she deserves the best man in the world.
"It's been fifteen years. I've liked Lu Jinzhou for fifteen years. Now he's with someone else, and with that woman. Why?"
She was so cautious about her love because she was afraid that if she expressed it, Lu Jinzhou would push her away and they wouldn't even be able to be friends, so she could only bury her love in her heart.
There has never been any other woman around Lu Jinzhou for so many years, and she thought she was special.
She thought that Lu Jinzhou simply had no interest in love, so in order to be closer to his preferences, she always created a single persona for herself.
She thought that no matter whether Lu Jinzhou was interested in love or not, in their circle, when the time came, they would eventually accept family marriage.
Both the Lu and Xue families had planned a marriage alliance long ago. She thought that after waiting for two or three years at most, she would be able to become Lu Jinzhou's bedside companion.
She thought she was about to get through it, but halfway through, a despicable Cheng Yaojin like Shen Nianchu suddenly appeared.
The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became. Xue Shuyi stood up shakily, "No, we can't just let it go like this."
Cheng Che supported her, "They are already together, what else do you want?"
"So what if they're together? How could the Lu family let a woman like that into their home? Jinzhou is old enough to fall in love. I understand that he has desires for women, but he'll always settle down after playing around enough."
Cheng Che was helpless, knowing that Xue Shuyi would never listen to any words of persuasion he gave her now, so he simply stopped talking, thinking that she would turn back when she hit a wall.
As brothers for many years, he knew very well that Lu Jinzhou's feelings for Shen Nianchu were not just for fun.
…
The weekend passed in a flash, and on Monday, Chen Nianchu flew to Haicheng and joined the crew to continue filming.
When I was packing my luggage, I saw the extra card in my wallet. After checking it, I realized there was 50 million in it. After thinking about it, I called Lu Jinzhou and asked, "Did you put that card in my wallet?"
"See?"
"Well, why are you secretly seking?"
"Didn't you win against Xue Shuyi on Saturday? She transferred the 10 million to me. It should be yours, so of course I'll give it to you."
There's no such thing as a deserved thing. If it weren't for Lu Jinzhou, she would have had to pay the 10 million.
"That's an extra 40 million. Why are you giving me so much money? You've already prepared all my daily necessities, so there's not much else to spend money on."
Lu Jinzhou chuckled, "It's not a lot of money, and you may not like everything I prepare. Just buy what you like."
"You are so thoughtful..."
"Really? Then be nice to me."
Shen Nianchu didn't understand why and asked, "How have I treated you badly?"
"Keep your distance from He Yanbei after the show."
Occasionally, there are leaked videos showing that He Yanbei's eyes when looking at Chen Nianchu are not innocent at all. People online even gave them a CP name based on their character names, "Warm Sun in Winter".
Every time he saw it, he felt upset.
But this is Shen Nianchu’s job, and there’s nothing he can do about it.
Shen Nianchu was not to be outdone, “Then you should also keep your distance from Xue Shuyi.”
"good."
Someone called Mr. Lu over there, and Shen Nianchu quickly ended the call, "You go ahead, I'm going to pack my luggage."
"Well, I'll go to Haicheng to see you in a few days."
…
For several days in a row, Shen Nianchu was so busy that she was dizzy. Not only did she have to shoot, but the company also helped her take on live broadcasts and photo shoots for several brands.
Although the live broadcast location was set in the hotel or Haicheng to accommodate her schedule, Shen Nianchu's body was still a little overwhelmed by the long-term overwork.
Finally, on a snowy day at a filming site, due to low blood sugar and catching a cold from wearing thin clothing from the previous day's filming, he developed a fever and fainted on the set.
Lu Jinzhou rushed over immediately. Seeing Shen Nianchu, whose face had become thinner and she had already fallen asleep, he felt distressed and asked, "Why did you give her so many jobs?"
The cold aura emanating from the man from head to toe seemed to be able to freeze the entire room into ice. Ye Huan couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"The company's arrangements are all in the brand contract. Originally, her schedule wasn't that tight, but she injured her wrist a few days ago, so everything was postponed and concentrated on these few days."
He touched Shen Nianchu’s still hot forehead and asked, “Hasn’t she eaten well recently?”
Chen Nianchu has been busy these days, so the video calls only lasted a few minutes. During every video call, she was either applying a face mask or lowering the lights to coax him to sleep, so no one could tell that she had lost so much weight.
"Because I've been doing live broadcasts these days, I'm afraid of looking fat on camera, so I've been controlling my diet."
"Even if you have to control your diet, you still have to maintain good health. Is this how Jiashang Entertainment treats its artists?"
The tone was extremely cold, and Ye Huan didn't dare to breathe. She had always watched how Lu Jinzhou and Shen Nianchu got along with each other, which really made her forget that Lu Jinzhou's true face was now so ruthless and decisive.
"Ahem... I'm the one who controls my diet. Don't scare her." Shen Nianchu's throat was inflamed due to the fever, and her speech was hoarse.
Lu Jinzhou sat at the head of the bed, hugged her from behind, and found a position that made her feel comfortable leaning against him. "Does your head still hurt?"
Shen Nianchu shook his head, “I want to drink water.”
Lu Jinzhou checked the temperature of the cup on the bedside table, then stood up to pour her some water.
Ye Huan also stepped forward with a worried look on his face, "How do you feel?"
"Better."
Ye Huan was almost crying, "You scared me to death. I will never let you control your diet like this again. Also, next time Sister Yue gives you so much work, I will definitely fight back."
Shen Nianchu had slept less than three hours a day for several days. Although she was awake at this moment, she was still tired. She pulled her lip and was about to speak to comfort her when the doorbell rang.
After all, this was in the crew's hotel, and the two of them hadn't made their relationship public yet, so they couldn't let others see Lu Jinzhou. But as soon as Ye Huan reached the bedroom door, he saw that the door had been opened by Lu Jinzhou.
Okay, the relationship can’t be hidden anymore.
Outside the door was He Yanbei, his expression slightly cracked.
