Chapter 224 Let's see if he backs down.
Aside from this little incident, the meal that Lu Yanhe and Lin Miaomiao had was actually very harmonious throughout.
Lin Miaomiao is a girl who is mostly aloof and somewhat cold and distant, but after getting to know her a few times, you will find that she actually has a cute and warm side in private.
Lin Miaomiao said, "Remember to send me a copy after 'Jump Up' is published."
Lu Yanhe nodded and agreed.
Lin Miaomiao: "I want one with your autograph."
Lu Yanhe nodded and said okay.
Lin Miaomiao nodded with satisfaction.
Actually, Lin Miaomiao didn't have much to say during the meal; it seemed like she just wanted to have a meal with him.
After finishing her meal, Lin Miaomiao said, "I have to go back now. Do you have a car to pick you up?"
Lu Yanhe was supposed to be picked up by car, but because he had made an appointment to have dinner with Lin Miaomiao, he told the driver to go home first and not wait for him.
Lu Yanhe said, "I can just take a taxi back myself."
"I'll have the driver give you a ride home since it's on his way."
“It might not be on the way,” Lu Yanhe said. “I can just call a car myself.”
Lin Miaomiao held up a finger to stop him, saying, "I'll have the driver take you."
She didn't speak loudly at all, nor did she have any so-called queenly aura, but when she said that, it was as if she didn't give Lu Yanhe any room to refuse.
She said, "Let's go, the car is here."
Lu Yanhe had no choice but to follow Lin Miaomiao, and then picked up his phone, saying, "I'll go pay the bill first."
"I'm treating you to dinner, why should you pay?" Lin Miaomiao slightly raised her chin. "The owner of this restaurant knows me, he'll find someone to settle the bill later."
Lu Yanhe was stunned when he heard Lin Miaomiao's words.
Is it still possible to do it this way?
At this moment, Chen Jingxuan suddenly reappeared.
He came out of a private room and, seeing Lin Miaomiao and Lu Yanhe about to leave, hurried over and said, "Miaomiao, are you going back?"
"Mm." Lin Miaomiao nodded.
"Let me take you home."
"I have a car to pick me up." Lin Miaomiao glanced at him thoughtfully and said, "Weren't you here to celebrate a classmate's birthday? Why did you run off again?"
Chen Jingxuan said without changing his expression, "Of course none of them are as important as you."
Lu Yanhe took a deep breath instantly.
Wow, he thought such words only appeared in TV dramas, but he never expected to hear someone say them in person.
Isn't that cheesy?
Lin Miaomiao looked at Chen Jingxuan coldly and said, "If you say something like that again, I'm going to be disgusted to death."
Chen Jingxuan had the spirit of an unkillable cockroach; no matter how ruthlessly Lin Miaomiao rejected him, he persisted in offering his heart to her.
Lin Miaomiao said to Lu Yanhe, "Let's go."
Lu Yanhe nodded. As he passed Chen Jingxuan, he noticed that Chen Jingxuan was looking at him with a murderous gaze.
Lu Yanhe and Chen Jingxuan exchanged a glance, the latter's eyes carrying a warning meaning.
-
Lin Miaomiao escorted Lu Yanhe to the entrance of Hongfu Residential Area.
"Don't forget you promised to give me the autographed book," Lin Miaomiao reminded her. "Also, don't wait until I contact you to reach out to me; that's not being a good friend at all."
Lu Yanhe waved his hand, "I know, I'll remember. I'm leaving."
Lu Yanhe went back and unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance at the door.
Rather than being acquaintances, the two had never actually interacted before, but Lu Yanhe recently got to know her because she was the female lead in the drama "Accompany You to the End of the World" starring Li Zhibai.
Encapsulated particles.
"Encapsulation?"
Meng Li turned around, saw Lu Yanhe, and showed a surprised expression.
"Lu Yanhe." She smiled at Lu Yanhe. "It's so good to see you. Does Li Zhibai live here?"
Lu Yanhe nodded hesitantly.
He was still in shock, wondering why Meng Li was there. Li Zhibai had previously complained about her. After filming "Accompany You to the End of the World," Li Zhibai had a very bad impression of Meng Li, saying that she was always late, did not cooperate with the crew's arrangements, and caused a lot of trouble for the crew during filming.
Moreover, Meng Li has been doing a lot of publicity lately. The press releases from her team all say that as the only female lead in "Accompany You to the End of the World", Meng Li's ability to carry the drama has been fully demonstrated. They have also done a lot of marketing, including linking her with Li Zhibai and revealing a lot of information about Meng Li and Li Zhibai's interactions on set.
Chen Ziyan once said that Meng Li is someone who likes to put down other co-stars during promotional periods.
This time, Meng Li didn't try to discredit Li Zhibai, but it seemed like she was deliberately trying to associate herself with him.
Meng Li said somewhat discontentedly, "I don't know what's going on with Li Zhibai either. I called him but he didn't answer. Could you help me check if he's there?"
Lu Yanhe hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the time. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening. He asked, "It's so late, what do you need him for?"
A hint of unease flashed across Meng Li's face. She smoothed her hair and said, "I do have something to discuss with him, but I need to talk to him in person."
When Lu Yanhe heard her say that, he felt even more puzzled and asked, "Did you tell him before you came to see him?"
"If I could contact him, why would I come all the way here to look for him?" Meng Li looked at Lu Yanhe with some annoyance. "Why are you so indecisive? Why don't you just go in and see if he's there?"
Lu Yanhe: "..."
Mengli's attitude was as if she suddenly couldn't keep up the act anymore, and she suddenly became somewhat irritable.
Lu Yanhe didn't understand why she was like this; he just subconsciously felt that this person had ill intentions.
Li Zhibai didn't answer her calls, so she went to the door, but no one answered the door from inside.
All these signs indicate only one thing: Li Zhibai most likely doesn't want to see this person.
He said, "You must have knocked on the door, right? Wasn't he home?"
“Nobody answered,” Mengli said irritably.
"Oh, he probably isn't here," Lu Yanhe said. "I don't live here either. If he's not here, I won't be able to open the door."
"You don't live here?" Meng Li looked at Lu Yanhe in shock.
"Yeah, I changed agents. Now I'm with Tu Song, living on another floor." Lu Yanhe shrugged deliberately. "Since he's not here, I'll go back."
He finished speaking and prepared to turn and leave.
"Lu Yanhe, you're trying to fool me!" Meng Li suddenly shouted from behind him.
Lu Yanhe was startled and looked at her helplessly.
Meng Li said, "You clearly live with them, you even said it in a previous interview! Li Zhibai himself said it!"
"That was before; it was changed in June," Lu Yanhe said without changing his expression. "When did you see the report?"
He felt that his acting skills had really improved.
Mengli looked at him with a mixture of belief and doubt.
Lu Yanhe: "I'm leaving."
"Wait!" Meng Li suddenly stomped her foot in exasperation. "Can I borrow your phone for a moment?"
"cell phone?"
“He won’t answer my calls. I’d like to see if he’ll answer if I call him from your phone,” Meng Li said.
Lu Yanhe: "...I didn't bring my phone with me."
Mengli: "Where is it?"
"In the dormitory."
“I’ll go with you to get it,” Meng Li said stubbornly.
Lu Yanhe bluntly said, "It's inconvenient for you to come to my dorm with me so late at night, isn't it?"
Meng Li stared wide-eyed in surprise and asked, "I don't have any concerns, but you do?"
Lu Yanhe was silent for a few seconds before uttering the famous saying that had recently become popular online: "Boys should also take care of themselves when they go out."
Mengli was so angry that her face turned green.
She pointed at Lu Yanhe: "Are you deliberately mocking me?"
Lu Yanhe shook his head, "No, it's just that you're too famous. Who knows if paparazzi are taking pictures of you? To be honest, I don't even feel safe standing here talking to you right now. I'm afraid of being spread rumors about you. You have too many fans, and I don't want to be cyberbullied by them."
Mengli: "..."
The anger on her face slowly faded away.
Because she felt that what Lu Yanhe said made a lot of sense.
Indeed, given her current popularity, it's understandable that Lu Yanhe would have such concerns.
"Do as you please, I'm leaving." Seeing that Meng Li's arrogance had subsided somewhat, Lu Yanhe seized the opportunity and left.
He went straight to the floor where Tu Song was.
When they arrived at Tu Song's place, Lu Yanhe said, "I'll stay here for a while."
Tu Song was somewhat surprised by Lu Yanhe's sudden appearance, but he didn't ask anything and let Lu Yanhe come in directly.
Lu Yanhe immediately sent a message to the three-person group chat containing Li Zhibai and Yan Liang: Are you guys home?
Li Zhibai: I'm here. I heard your whole conversation with Meng Li behind the door. Wow, how did you know I didn't want to see her? You even covered her up for me.
Lu Yanhe: She looks like she's up to no good. The question is, what's going on between you and her? How did she end up here?
Li Zhibai: She's crazy! She insists that I had a crush on her while filming on set and even gave her love letters. She asked to meet me these past two days, and when I went, she suddenly started groping me!
Lu Yanhe wondered if there was something wrong with his eyes. What was he seeing?
Yan Liang chimed in: ? ? ? What happened?
Li Zhibai: You're not coming back tonight, are you?
Yan Liang: I'm in Xiaxi, how can I come back?
Li Zhibai: That's good. There's a plague blocking the door. Old Lu and I just had a brilliant teamwork.
Lu Yanhe: ...If it wasn't a love letter from you, why don't you just explain it to her?
Li Zhibai: The problem is, I did write that love letter.
Lu Yanhe: What the hell?
Yan Liang: You've changed your mind?
Li Zhibai: Pui pui pui, that's not it at all, it's a misunderstanding! We were playing Truth or Dare on set. Mengli always looks down on us young actors and usually ignores us. We said whoever lost would have to write her a love letter to see her reaction. I was unlucky and lost the game. It wasn't a big deal, since it was anonymous, so I just wrote it. But she actually checked the security camera footage and found the footage of me slipping the love letter into her room. I was speechless. I explained to her for a long time, but she refused to believe it was Truth or Dare and was convinced that I had a crush on her.
Yan Liang: What kind of situation is this?
Li Zhibai: She even threatened me today, saying that if I don't admit it, she will expose the love letters I wrote online.
Lu Yanhe: You play this kind of game too.
Li Zhibai: Well, who told her to look down on everyone on set, act all high and mighty in front of the directors, but ignore us? She even mocked many people for not being destined to be famous and only being able to play supporting roles for life. Everyone hated her and just wanted to disgust her.
Yan Liang: In the end, you got yourself into trouble.
Li Zhibai: I'm really fed up. I don't know if she's deliberately refusing to believe me or just trying to disgust me. She asked me out again today, but I refused. I don't know where she found out where we live, but she came to our door.
Yan Liang: Could it be that she's actually fallen for you?
Li Zhibai: It can't be that bad, can it?
Lu Yanhe recalled Meng Li's stubborn and obstinate attitude just now and felt that it was not impossible.
He: You're in trouble.
Yan Liang: You're in trouble +1.
Li Zhibai: I'm speechless. She wouldn't actually post the love letter I wrote online, would she?
Lu Yanhe: So you did this, and they really released him. What can you do about it?
Li Zhibai: Disgraced and ruined.
Yan Liang: It would be better to apologize as soon as possible.
Li Zhibai: You think I didn't apologize? I already said it was just a game, I apologized and explained, but she just wouldn't accept it. What else could I do?
Lu Yanhe: ...
-
What kind of situation is this?
Lu Yanhe silently forwarded a document to the group.
Document Name: Don't be a coward when it's time to confess your feelings!
Li Zhibai: ? ? ?
Li Zhibai: Lu Yanhe, what are you doing?
Li Zhibai: Kill him by destroying his spirit!
Li Zhibai: Lao Lu, you've changed. My heart is already bleeding, and you're stabbing me in the heart again!
Lu Yanhe: Call me after she leaves. I'll hide here in Tusong for a while.
Li Zhibai: Absolutely amazing.
-
The next day, Lu Yanhe met with Chen Siqi and immediately shared the story with her.
Chen Siqi was amazed, never expecting to hear such an outrageous story about two unexpected people.
Chen Siqi said, "That makes sense, making jokes like that with girls."
Lu Yanhe: "I'm not joking. They deliberately wanted to get revenge on Meng Li, see how she would react, and then tell her the truth to anger her."
Chen Siqi glanced at him sideways and asked, "Do you think Li Zhibai's approach was right?"
“Uh, I understand his feelings about doing this, but I absolutely criticize his actions,” Lu Yanhe said immediately.
Chen Siqi propped her face up with one hand and said, "Although I don't know what Meng Li did on set to make Li Zhibai hate her so much, the worst thing about this kind of behavior is that people take it seriously. Look, isn't Meng Li taking it seriously now? She's hurting herself and others. So what's Li Zhibai doing now? Is Meng Li still looking for him?"
Lu Yanhe said, "Li Zhibai told Zhou Pingan about this, and now Zhou Pingan is worried about finding a solution."
Chen Siqi complained, "He's just pushing the trouble onto others because he can't handle it himself."
“It’s not just anyone, it’s my agent,” Lu Yanhe said. “I can’t handle this kind of thing myself, so I have to ask my agent to deal with it.”
Chen Siqi reminded him, "You'd better not get yourself into this kind of trouble. It's one thing that Zhou Ping'an is a man, but your agent Chen Ziyan is a woman. No woman would think Li Zhibai's behavior is acceptable after knowing about this."
"He regrets it now. He's learned his lesson and won't do it again."
Chen Siqi said, "Did Mengli not contact you again after that?"
“No, why would she want to see me?” Lu Yanhe said.
“Because your excuse was so lame, if she were to ask, she would know that you didn’t actually move to Tu Song’s place,” Chen Siqi said. “She’s a big star, and if you fool her like that, she might start blaming you.”
Lu Yanhe: "There's nothing I can do about it. Between her and Li Zhibai, I'll definitely side with Li Zhibai."
“That’s true.” Chen Siqi nodded, not saying a word about the friendship between Lu Yanhe and Li Zhibai.
She suddenly laughed.
"There is one thing you did really well."
"What is it?" Lu Yanhe asked.
"Slap that article Li Zhibai wrote right in his face," Chen Siqi said, laughing heartily. "Let him make veiled accusations. Now look how cowardly he is."
