Lu Jiayang froze, and forced a smile: "No, I'm not unhappy."
Shen Qingyue sighed silently: "But you always smiled when you called Xiaobao before, but this time it's different."
"Damn... Didn't Xiaobao say he missed me?" Lu Jiayang forced a smile again. "You know how he looks like. When I heard him say that, I felt a little uncomfortable."
"But don't worry, Brother Qingyue, I will adjust quickly and won't delay my work."
Shen Qingyue noticed that he kept avoiding her gaze, and her hands became even busier. After thinking about it, she didn't say anything more, but just waited quietly by the side for him to finish putting on makeup.
His eyes fell on Lu Jiayang's slender back from time to time, and he frowned and fell into deep thought.
Three minutes later, Lu Jiayang returned to normal. He looked at Shen Qingyue again and chuckled, "Fortunately, our makeup artist is quite professional. Although I messed up the base makeup a little, it's quite easy to fix."
"Well, let's go when we're done." Shen Qingyue glanced at the time. "Now is the perfect time to go backstage."
They walked out of the lounge and into the corridor, still politely greeting the staff passing by on the way. Everything seemed to be normal, but Lu Jiayang could still feel that Shen Qingyue seemed to be worried.
After all, this man has always been very talkative and eloquent, but today he was unexpectedly silent.
Is it because of myself?
Just as Lu Jiayang had this question in his mind, he heard Shen Qingyue suddenly say: "Jiayang, wait for me in the hotel room after work, I have something to tell you"
Lu Jiayang said "Oh" blankly and nodded: "Okay, I understand."
Although both of them had their own concerns before going on stage, the moment the show started, they both consciously perked up and were not affected by their emotions at all.
This was a program for visiting newcomers, and the host directed most of the questions to Lu Jiayang. Occasionally, there were a few questions that he didn't know how to answer, and Shen Qingyue would take the initiative to speak up and smooth things over at the right time.
The two of them still cooperated very well and completed the work smoothly.
On the way back to the hotel, the agent told them about the next arrangements while driving.
"Jiayang, you've performed very well recently, and many production crews have praised you highly."
Lu Jiayang smiled slightly: "Well, I have to thank them for giving me this opportunity."
"Don't worry, there will be more good opportunities like this in the future," the agent said excitedly, "Qingyue, you can't let your guard down either. Otherwise, with Jiayang's potential, he will surpass you sooner or later."
"That's great." Shen Qingyue raised the corner of his mouth. "If my partner becomes better than me one day, I will be very proud."
The agent laughed and said, "I know you two have a good relationship. There's no need to be so clear about who's weak and who's strong. As long as you keep moving forward together and work hard together, that's all that matters."
"Oh, you guys don't know this yet, do you? First Encounter is doing really well right now. We have a good chance of being selected to participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala. That's a stage that so many people want to be on... Oh! I'm so happy just thinking about it!"
Shen Qingyue stretched lazily and said nonchalantly: "Spring Festival Gala... It doesn't matter. I've been there several times and it's not that good."
"Hey! You're such a jerk!" the agent tutted. "You've been there, but Jiayang hasn't. And I'm talking about a first encounter. How can it be the same as you going on stage in person?"
"This is indeed something to look forward to," Lu Jiayang smiled, then turned his head to look out the car window.
It is now past eight o'clock in the evening. Although it is not too late, it is already dark.
Under the dim street lights on both sides of the road, there are all kinds of people, some are couples, some are friends, and some are families. They gather in twos and threes, all with smiles on their faces.
Lu Jiayang was lost in thought, his thoughts having returned to the days of going to and from school, playing and joking with his brothers every day...
If First Encounter is really selected for the Spring Festival Gala, he will definitely be busy during the New Year period.
He would not let the group give up the opportunity to perform on stage because of his own reasons. That would be too selfish.
So... I can't go home after all.
The agent was still saying something cheerfully, but Shen Qingyue didn't want to listen. He stared at Lu Jiayang for a long time, and when the car slowly stopped in the hotel parking lot, he finally made a decision.
After the agent returned to his room, Shen Qingyue said, "Jiayang, go to your room and rest for a while. I have something to do. I'll come find you when I'm done."
"Yeah, okay." Lu Jiayang didn't think much about it. He responded and used the room card to open the door of his own room.
After closing the door, he walked directly to the bed, leaned back, let his body fall into the soft bed, and closed his eyes.
I had a lot on my mind today and my emotions were a bit out of control, but fortunately it didn’t affect my work.
I just don't know what Shen Qingyue wants to say to him...
Lu Jiayang lay on the bed and was idle for a long time. He didn't know how much time had passed. He was almost falling asleep while waiting when the knock on the door sounded slowly.
He raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows to make himself more alert, then quickly went to open the door.
"Brother Qingyue, what are you holding in your hand?" Lu Jiayang asked curiously.
Shen Qingyue smiled as he shook the wooden pen holder in his hand and said mysteriously, "You'll know in a moment."
Hearing the rustling sound coming from the pen holder, Lu Jiayang suddenly became more interested. He followed him happily and the two sat side by side on the bed.
