Chapter 48
Yin Mu was inexplicably upset when Chen Qinglin looked at him like this. He didn't dare to look him in the eye. He looked away and pretended to change the subject casually: "Why? If you don't give me face, are you still going to settle the score with Meng Yuan?"
Chen Qinglin showed a faint smile on his face: "Just kidding, I should thank her."
Yin Mu opened his mouth in confusion: "Huh?"
"If it weren't for her mistake, how could I have received your concern?"
Yin Mu's heart skipped a beat and he looked at Chen Qinglin in a daze.
Chen Qinglin didn't dodge or evade, and looked at her.
Yin Mu suppressed the throbbing in his heart and warned calmly, "Don't play tricks on your body like this. It's too irresponsible."
Chen Qinglin readily responded, "Okay, I won't do that next time."
【Aa ...
[Help, why does Chen Qinglin suddenly smell like a damp person?]
【Let’s shout out loud together, thank you Zhong Mengyuan! 】
[It's reasonable to suspect that Zhong Mengyuan is the CP leader, and she did everything on purpose! ]
[Yes, yes, it’s clearly a date for two people, but Yin Mu’s name appears the most!]
…
Meng Meng learned of Chen Qinglin's unfortunate injury and made a point of visiting him when she came over that evening. Seeing that the redness and swelling on his nose had subsided considerably after applying ice, she jokingly said, "Fortunately, your face isn't ruined. Just use more foundation to cover it up."
Zhong Mengyuan, who was standing by, felt guilty and silently looked away.
Yin Mu disagreed: "There's no need to cover it up. Foundation is so stuffy and it won't be conducive to recovery."
Meng Meng shrugged. "Unless he wants to be filmed looking like a red-nosed clown."
"How is that possible?" Zheng Wei retorted, "It wouldn't be obvious if it wasn't in her face."
"Oh, that's a coincidence. I can't avoid getting into a fight tomorrow." Meng Meng clapped her hands and said with a smile, "I came here to tell everyone that everyone should get up early tomorrow to do their makeup and makeup. No one is allowed to be late."
Everyone was a little confused and looked at each other.
Zhou Jingyu asked: "What are you shooting?"
"Of course, I'm taking you guys to take some beautiful pictures," Meng Meng said. "The show is almost over, and we haven't had a proper group photo yet. It would be nice to take one as a souvenir."
Meng Meng said it lightly, but Yin Mu didn't quite believe her. He always suspected that the program crew had other ulterior motives. But then he changed his mind and thought that taking pictures was nothing more than providing some promotional materials for the program. It would be unnecessary to care about these things since he had already recorded the program.
Forget it, just cooperate if you are paid by someone.
Yin Mu was just lost in thought when Zhang Yang asked, "What style do you want to shoot?"
Meng Meng asked back: "What style do you want to shoot?"
"For example, um..." Zhang Yang scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "A strong, muscular man?"
Zheng Wei rolled her eyes and snarled, "Come on, this isn't a promotional photo shoot for the gym."
Everyone was amused by her complaints.
Zhang Yang shouted angrily, "Zheng Wei, don't go too far with your words!"
Zheng Wei remained unmoved and spread her hands: "I'm just telling the truth. You've broken my defense."
"you!"
Yin Mu suppressed his laughter and patted Zheng Wei: "Okay, Zheng Wei, please be gentle with your words."
Meng Meng also stopped smiling, cleared his throat, and said to Zhang Yang seriously, "Alright, alright. Although I'm not a muscular man, I certainly won't disappoint you. Everyone, get a good rest tonight and stay in top shape."
[This is so funny, Zheng Wei, please stop being so talkative.]
[Why does Zhang Yang still say he's shy?]
[Hahahaha, he has muscles, but lacks the handsomeness.]
[It seems that Zhang Yang's understanding of himself is quite distorted.]
[Well, it's no use training muscles if you can't show them off. (dog head)]
…
With Meng Meng's reminder, everyone went upstairs and did not stay downstairs until late today. Starting at 9:30, they went upstairs and returned to their rooms to rest.
Yin Mu took a shower and just turned off the lights and lay down on the bed when she was woken up by a knock on the door. She had no choice but to turn on the bedside lamp again and got up to open the door.
Zhong Mengyuan was standing at the door in her pajamas with disheveled hair, looking like a floating ghost in the dim light.
"Why are you looking for me if you're not sleeping?"
"I just wanted to chat with you for a few minutes. I haven't had much time to talk since I came back." Zhong Mengyuan said half aggrievedly and half complainingly, "Let me in. I don't want to stand and talk."
Yin Mu shook his head helplessly: "Okay, okay, come in."
Zhong Mengyuan climbed onto her bed with ease, not forgetting to declare, "I've taken a shower."
"Okay..." Yin Mu closed the door, walked back and sat on the bed, and said, "Okay, tell me now, and then go to bed, otherwise you will have dark circles under your eyes tomorrow."
"I know, don't worry about me." Zhong Mengyuan responded perfunctorily, but lowered his head and did not speak for a long time.
Yin Mu pushed her legs curiously: "Tell me, you didn't fall asleep while sitting, did you?"
"No." Zhong Mengyuan frowned and pushed her hand away. "My mind is just a mess and I don't know where to start."
Yin Mu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and raised his voice: "Then come to me tomorrow when you have figured it out! I want to sleep even if you don't!"
"Okay, okay, don't chase me away. I'll tell you, I'll tell you." Zhong Mengyuan raised his hand in surrender and spoke hesitantly, "That's right, I went out to play with Chen Qinglin."
"Well, then?"
"And, you know, we have nothing to talk about. In fact, we spend most of the time talking about you."
Yin Mu narrowed his eyes: "Hmm..."
Zhong Mengyuan pursed her lips and admitted her mistake: "Alright, I admit that my motives were impure. The reason I chose him was to prevent you two from being alone together and prevent you from getting too deeply involved. But now I feel that he really likes you, and it makes me feel so sorry that I feel like I'm some wicked mother-in-law who breaks up young couples."
Yin Mu was speechless: "Please don't use such weird metaphors, okay? They are two completely unrelated things."
"Don't be so clownish." Zhong Mengyuan slapped Yin Mu's thigh lightly. "Let me ask you, how do you feel about Chen Qinglin right now?"
Yin Mu covered his legs with a bitter face, wanting to laugh it off, but seeing that Zhong Mengyuan seemed very serious, he couldn't help but become serious too.
Do I have feelings for Chen Qinglin? I do, but I can't quite put my finger on the extent of my feelings. Besides, it takes a long time for people to get to know each other well. I can't just decide who I want to date based on a short romance show. That would be too hasty.
Zhong Mengyuan understood immediately when she saw her like this: "You're confused too, aren't you?"
Yin Mu defended himself: "It's impossible to fall in love with someone so quickly."
Zhong Mengyuan sighed deeply: "I'm afraid that you will be sad again. You know, people are often slow to react to emotions. Don't be like me..."
Yin Mu knew that she had learned a painful lesson in this regard, so painful that she buried it deep in her heart and never mentioned it. Now she actually took the initiative to bring it up just to remind herself.
Yin Mu felt very complicated and held Zhong Mengyuan's hand: "I know, but our situations are different. You know it's impossible for me to be with Chen Qinglin."
"What if he confesses to you during the final selection? Can you be cruel enough to reject him directly?"
Yin Mu hesitated: "I..."
"Um?"
"I could have declined politely, why are you being so heartless?"
Zhong Mengyuan shook his head, but said nothing more. He made a gesture to get up and said, "I'm going back to my room to sleep. You should go to sleep too."
Yin Mu quickly grabbed her and said, "Ah? Are you done now?"
"That's all."
Yin Mu blinked in confusion: "What's the conclusion? You should at least give me a conclusion."
Zhong Mengyuan said: "The conclusion is that you are not allowed to give the characters emotional lines, otherwise things will be very troublesome."
Yin Mu was getting more and more confused and wanted to pull Zhong Mengyuan aside to ask for clarification: "Why is it so troublesome? Can't I go back?"
"It's even worse." Zhong Mengyuan said seriously, "The world might collapse. Once the world collapses, we're both finished."
Yin Mu was stunned: "How could it be."
Zhong Mengyuan looked around the room and said, "Look at this world. It may seem very stable, but in fact, unstable factors exist everywhere. If you're lucky, everything will be fine. But if you're unlucky, even the smallest change may trigger a series of chain reactions. The most serious consequence is the collapse of the world."
Yin Mu swallowed and asked anxiously, "If the world collapses, what will happen to Zheng Wei, Chen Qinglin... those who originally existed in this world?"
"The world will collapse and then restart, and they will restart together," Zhong Mengyuan explained, and then emphasized, "They will restart, but we are outsiders, we will not."
"Will we disappear from this world?"
Zhong Mengyuan nodded solemnly: "Yes."
Yin Mu's lips moved and he murmured, "Will it disappear in the real world too?"
Zhong Mengyuan nodded again, and the words he said were extremely cruel: "Uncle and aunt don't have to wait for you anymore, because no matter how long we wait, we will never see the day you wake up."
When talking about his parents, Yin Mu's heart twitched violently and he lowered his head.
No, she couldn't let her parents suffer for her.
Zhong Mengyuan patted her head and comforted her, saying, "Okay, he's just a nice guy. You'll meet someone better in the future. You need to prioritize things right now."
Yin Mu looked up at her, his smile uglier than his tears: "Why didn't you tell me this earlier? If I had known, I wouldn't have approached Chen Qinglin."
"I'm sorry." Zhong Mengyuan said guiltily, "I didn't take it seriously before. I thought it would be good to make you happy during this period, but I've been having some very bad dreams these past two days. I think we should not take the risk. - I'm sorry, please don't blame me."
Yin Mu shook his head vigorously: "No, how could I blame you? You came here for me, I absolutely don't want to implicate you."
Zhong Mengyuan sighed: "If there is a way to take Chen Qinglin away, I will try it no matter how difficult it is."
"Meng Yuan, please stop talking." Yin Mu felt sad because of what she said, and said softly, "To me, you are ten thousand times more important than Chen Qinglin."
"Yeah." Zhong Mengyuan responded in a low voice, "You are also my most important friend."
