Chapter 58
Jiang Nanyu walked up and greeted Yin Mu: "Hi, Yin Mu, I didn't expect to see you again so soon."
Yin Mu raised his hand and shook it as a response, saying, "Yes, did you miss us?"
Jiang Nanyu scratched his head sheepishly and said, "Are you leaving now?"
"Yeah, I'm just about to go back to bed." Yin Mu joked, "Why, you don't want us to leave? Where are your friends? Is it okay for you to come over?"
"They went back first. They need to get enough rest." Jiang Nanyu said, "It's such a coincidence that we meet here. I was thinking of sitting down for a drink and chatting."
Yin Mu turned to look at Zhong Mengyuan.
Zhong Mengyuan shrugged: "Look at you, didn't you just say you wanted to go back to sleep?"
Jiang Nanyu said hurriedly, "If you're tired, go back and rest. We can have dinner tomorrow and talk again. I'm free during the day. -By the way, are you going to the music festival tonight?"
"I should go, but I'll probably just wander around," Zhong Mengyuan said. "Speaking of the music festival, when does it start tomorrow, and how many days does it last?"
"It opens tomorrow evening, and it's going to be quite lively at night," Jiang Nanyu explained. "It usually lasts for two or three days, but by the third day, there will be almost no people."
"I see." Zhong Mengyuan nodded in understanding, then thought, "Ah, tomorrow night is also the first broadcast of the edited version."
"Then I won't be able to make it." Jiang Nanyu said, "I have appointments with friends these days."
Yin Mu raised his eyebrows: "Busy man."
"I wouldn't accept that." Jiang Nanyu waved her hands repeatedly and suggested, "What a coincidence, how about we have dinner together tomorrow night? Are you guys free?"
"That's fine. It's boring for the two of us to eat anyway." Zhong Mengyuan asked Yin Mu, "How's it going, Rabbit?"
Jiang Nanyu also looked at her: "How is it, Yin Mu?"
Yin Mu was indifferent and said, "I'm fine with it. As long as you have time, don't let us delay your work."
"Look at what you two are saying about me. How busy can someone like me be?" Jiang Nanyu smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Then it's settled. Tomorrow night?"
"Okay." Zhong Mengyuan agreed. "Where should we eat? You're here early. Any recommendations?"
"We ate at a really good restaurant yesterday. I'll send you the link later. You can take a look first. If you don't like it, we can try something else." Jiang Nanyu said with a smile, "Don't be fooled by the fact that Qingyan Town is not a big place. There are many restaurants of all sizes and a lot of choices."
"Okay, let's see your recommendation first."
The three of them talked for a few more words, agreed on a meeting place for tomorrow, and then separated and went back to their residences.
The next day, Yin Mu and Zhong Mengyuan took a boat trip on the river during the day and tasted some local special snacks. In the afternoon, when it was almost time, they set off for the restaurant where they had made an appointment with Jiang Nanyu.
Jiang Nanyu and they made an appointment at a small and exquisite riverside restaurant. Sitting at the table, they could see the river winding under the window by turning their heads, and the boatman paddling the boat slowly by with an oar.
Yin Mu quite liked the scenery. While waiting for the food to be served, she drank tea and leisurely enjoyed the scenery, leaving the task of external communication entirely to spokesperson Zhong Mengyuan.
Zhong Mengyuan exchanged pleasantries with Jiang Nanyu and smoothly turned the topic to the show that had just ended. She asked Jiang Nanyu, "Are you in touch with Zhou Jingyu?"
As soon as Yin Mu heard the keyword Zhou Jingyu, he pricked up his ears, and at the same time felt admiration for Zhong Mengyuan. He turned to look at Jiang Nanyu's reaction.
Jiang Nanyu shook her head, looking slightly dejected: "No."
"Why?" Zhong Mengyuan pressed, "Didn't you say you still wanted to fight for it?"
Perhaps because they were no longer on the show and there were no cameras facing them, they didn't have to worry so much. Jiang Nanyu lowered his eyelids, hesitated for a moment, and said, "To be honest, I know deep down that I have no hope."
Yin Mu and Zhong Mengyuan looked at each other and thought of the scene they saw under the grape trellis on the day they left.
But they didn't know whether Jiang Nanyu had also seen that scene, and it was difficult to say it out loud, so Zhong Mengyuan asked: "So you just gave up like that?"
Before Jiang Nanyu could say anything, the waiter came over to serve the food. He stopped talking for a moment and waited until the waiter left before saying, "It's not good to be so shameless as to cause trouble to others."
"That's true, but it's such a pity," Zhong Mengyuan encouraged him. "Besides, you haven't even tried, so how do you know it's impossible?"
Her attitude was too positive, and Jiang Nanyu was inevitably puzzled. He looked doubtful and said, "Is it my illusion or is it true? Why do I feel that you are particularly concerned about my emotional problems?"
Yin Mu touched his nose a little guiltily, and saw Zhong Mengyuan said calmly: "Of course I care. It's like following a TV series for a long time, but in the end there is no finale. How frustrating."
Jiang Nanyu smiled: "Then you should care more about Yin Mu. What she received is the official confession, right?" He looked at Yin Mu and asked, "Yin Mu?"
Seeing that he suddenly changed the topic to himself, Yin Mu pretended to be calm and picked up some food: "This cauliflower is really good, you guys should try it too."
Jiang Nanyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Your way of changing the subject is too abrupt."
“…” Yin Mu buried his head in eating silently, disguising himself as an ostrich.
Jiang Nanyu didn't ask further questions and said, "Okay, okay, I won't make it difficult for you. Just eat slowly."
He was quite understanding. Yin Mu felt guilty when he thought about how he and Zhong Mengyuan were trying to get some information from him. He comforted him and said, "Don't be sad. You will definitely meet a more suitable girl."
Jiang Nanyu curled the corners of his mouth: "Then I'll borrow your good words."
Zhong Mengyuan knew this well, so she turned the conversation to the music festival: "Jiang Nanyu, do you have any program?"
Jiang Nanyu took a few seconds to react: "Oh, you mean the music festival? I was recording a program before and didn't have time to prepare, but a friend invited me to sing with him."
"When? Tonight?"
"Yeah, it's just quite late, maybe eleven o'clock."
"Oh? Then we have to go check it out." Zhong Mengyuan raised an eyebrow and looked at Yin Mu, "Rabbit, how about you show up to support Jiang Nanyu?"
Yin Mu smiled: "Then I must go."
"Since you're giving me face," Jiang Nanyu said, "then I'll introduce my friend to you."
As outsiders, Yin Mu and Zhong Mengyuan knew nothing about the people in their circle, but they were celebrities after all, so they were very interested. Yin Mu mentioned the only one he knew: "Who are you going to introduce to us? Is Su Mu okay?"
"Do you want to meet Su Mu?"
"May I?"
Jiang Nanyu thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible. He has a performance tomorrow, but he should be here in the evening. I'll confirm with him later."
Zhong Mengyuan asked in surprise: "From what you said, you two seem to be quite familiar with each other?"
Jiang Nanyu shrugged and said, "Come on, we are comrades who have fought side by side. How can we not have such a small relationship?"
Yin Mu was skeptical about Jiang Nanyu's words. She still remembered the sour tone in Jiang Nanyu's voice when he was compared with Su Mu during the first day of introducing himself. They didn't sound like close friends at all.
Zhong Mengyuan obviously had the same idea as her and deliberately said, "Really? Don't lie to us."
Jiang Nanyu was very helpless and said, "You don't even have this little trust in me. It really makes me sad. -Okay, if he were here today, I would definitely introduce you to each other."
Zhong Mengyuan immediately said, "It's a deal."
After dinner, Jiang Nanyu insisted on treating everyone and paying the bill himself.
Yin Mu took a sip of water and asked Zhong Mengyuan, "Are you so interested in that Su Mu?"
"Of course I'm interested." Zhong Mengyuan answered as a matter of course, "No matter where I am, I have never met a real star. Why not meet one if I have the chance?"
The reason was very sufficient, and Yin Mu could not refute it: "Then what? What will happen if we meet?"
"Nothing much, just curious."
“…”
Yin Mu had no idea what Zhong Mengyuan was thinking, so he shook his head and said, "Then don't cause trouble."
"Look at what you said, what trouble can I cause?"
While the two were talking, Jiang Nanyu came back and said, "Do you want to leave now? Or do you want to sit for a while?"
Zhong Mengyuan checked the time and said, "Let's go. We still have to buy tickets on site. I'm not sure if it's easy to buy them."
Jiang Nanyu asked in surprise: "Ah? You didn't buy tickets in advance?"
"I already said it was a last-minute plan, so there wasn't enough time to buy tickets. ——By the way, are tickets easy to get at the event?"
Jiang Nanyu thought for a moment and said, "Let's go out first. I'll call my friend and ask him what's going on at the scene."
"That's great." Zhong Mengyuan thanked him frankly, "Thank you so much."
"It's just a small matter. You're welcome."
The three of them left the restaurant. Yin Mu and Zhong Mengyuan walked in front, while Jiang Nanyu followed slowly behind and made a few phone calls.
Soon, he quickened his pace and caught up with us, saying, "It's not so bad today, there aren't many people around. We can just buy it when we get there. You all have your ID cards with you, right?"
Zhong Mengyuan patted her crossbody bag and said, "Carry it with you."
"That's good." Jiang Nanyu nodded and reminded them, "Be sure to keep an eye on your bags when you're in crowded places."
"I know." Yin Mu agreed and said seriously, "Jiang Nanyu, I think you are actually a pretty good person."
Jiang Nanyu was stunned: "Why are you suddenly giving me the nice guy card? - No, what kind of person have you always thought I was?"
Yin Mu tilted his head: "Time reveals people's true nature, and their opinions will change."
"Oh, I see. You have a very bad impression of me."
"No, no, no." Yin Mu corrected with a smile, "I can only say that I don't know enough, so I haven't formed a complete impression."
Jiang Nanyu didn't mind: "Anyway, he's no match for Chen Qinglin, right?"
When Yin Mu heard this, his smile froze and he did not respond for a moment.
Zhong Mengyuan sighed silently and helped her change the subject.
