Chapter 35 It's fate, but he insists on making it happen
"No," Jiang Ziyi said firmly, "You are still on the rise, and your reputation is very important. You can't let my affairs affect you."
"It is my freedom to marry the one I love. If I am criticized for it, I am willing to bear the price." Gu Zhi was well prepared.
“…You’re in such a hurry to make your relationship status public. What will happen if you get divorced after a while?” Jiang Ziyi continued to look for excuses.
"It's not going to end," Gu Zhi smiled gently, "Don't think about it anymore."
Jiang Ziyi: …Why do I feel like I’m on a pirate ship?
"Do you know what will be the top trending search after our official announcement?" She deliberately exaggerated, "#Black material female star seduces movie emperor to marry young#"
"I was the one who seduced you first," Gu Zhi said with a proud tone, "I will make this clear."
"If it ranks first on the trending search, your clarification blog post will receive more attention, and the roles you played and the works you participated in before will also be discussed again." Gu Zhi inferred.
"Yiyi, an excellent actor like you actually just lacks a suitable opportunity." He thought so from the bottom of his heart.
"But I don't want our marriage to become this opportunity," Jiang Ziyi looked into his eyes, "I am with you simply because I love you."
She herself was not used to such frankness. Her ears turned red as soon as she finished speaking, and she had to pretend to be busy fiddling with Gu Zhi's pen holder.
"I know," Gu Zhi suppressed his laughter as he watched the cat messing around on the table. "I just think you can be a little greedier... I'm very happy to be used by you."
————————————————————
Jiang Ziyi sighed.
"You," she said to him in the tone that Gu Zhi often used when he was helpless, "you are always like this."
"Sorry... I'm too concerned." Gu Zhi looked down at his curled palms.
The four members of the family and friends group looked at their noses and their hearts.
"Well... this happened three years ago, and the statute of limitations is almost over. Can the sentence be lighter?" Liu Feilu negotiated on behalf of his childhood friend.
"Or just pretend it was me?" Zheng Haonan took the blame directly.
"How about a suspended sentence? Wait until I'm gone before you start arguing." Mao Yuanzhan was so scared that he wanted to run away.
"World peace, world peace." Chen Yuan reminded.
"No, you are exaggerating too much." Jiang Ziyi was amused by these people's reactions.
"I am indeed a little angry, but I have basically guessed it," she glanced at Gu Zhi, "If this marriage was really exposed by entertainment paparazzi, public opinion would not be so mild."
In the days after the Big Eyes Forum was destroyed by the hot search #Gu Zhi and Jiang Ziyi got their marriage certificate#, although there were conspiracy theories such as "Gu Zhi was caught and forced to get married" and "Jiang Ziyi hired a fortune teller", the comments in the two people's section were basically based on "respecting the personal choices of actors and focusing on their works."
Fans of both parties simultaneously clarified the false information about Jiang Ziyi, and Jiang Ziyi's big fans took the opportunity to sell Amway's rhetoric and became a little popular:
It’s okay to hate Jiang Ziyi, but "Penglai", "Huanxing Ji" and "Burning Heart" are all very good dramas. Jiang Ziyi plays the villain in them, who is both bad and miserable. You will feel relieved after watching them.
"You just have to let me use you, right?" Jiang Ziyi kicked Gu Zhi lightly under the table.
"I'm happy with it." Gu Zhi smiled with relief, his eyes still glued to her, as if they were real.
"Then there is nothing for us to do now, right?" Liu Feilu stood up tactfully.
"I just took half a day off, and I have to go back to the company to write code in the evening." Zheng Haonan followed closely.
"I need to go back and review the skills of promoting CPs." Chen Yuan kept the task assigned by his agent in mind.
"I still have three sets of photos to take. If you two lock the keys, I'll take them." Mao Yuanzhan said anxiously.
The small coffee shop soon returned to silence, and the tabby cat rubbed Jiang Ziyi's calf with satisfaction.
"What should we do next?" Jiang Ziyi asked the director team.
"You two can move freely for now." Follow PD said stiffly.
In response to the visit of the relatives and friends, the "Breakup Lover" team originally set up a clever "trap":
First, confiscate the guests' mobile phones and ask them to meet their friends directly at the agreed address. Then, after the conversation, each couple is required to find a way to meet up with each other.
After pouring out your troubles to a good friend, you have to ask around for the whereabouts of your significant other. The various practical considerations that determine whether the marriage can continue are temporarily replaced by the urgent idea of "finding the other person". During this change in mentality, you may look at this relationship from a new perspective.
While ensuring the topic continues to be discussed and allowing the audience to immerse themselves in following the show, it can also promote the emotional review that will take place in the middle of the program, which can be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
This segment was specially planned for the new season and the confidentiality work was done very well. The program team simply used questionnaires in advance to obtain the guests' venue requirements for meeting with relatives and friends, and then dispersed them to different locations in the same area without making any additional explanations.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ziyi and Gu Zhi's requirements were extremely specific. Within a radius of 500 meters, there was only one cafe and one tea room that could meet their needs, and they were only separated by a wall.
The director originally held out the hope that "the unsuspecting couple would go around looking for each other and perform "Missed Lovers"", but in the blink of an eye, Gu Zhi, with his two childhood friends, sat at the same table with Jiang Ziyi.
...This level of coincidence is terrifying!
[Holding Your Hand: The Lifelong Enemy of the Program Crew]
[The tacit understanding is full, and it feels like the fate has been cultivated for several lifetimes...]
[Does this still need a lock? It's totally impossible to take it apart! ]
[It’s so funny, Mao Yuanzhan swallowed a key for nothing…]
[There is some mysterious force that has been bringing them together]
[Yue Lao has tied the red thread too tightly, hehe]
[I feel pity for Yu Huating now when I see him holding up a photo of his wife on the street and asking passers-by if they have seen her before]
[He is as helpless as a lost old man]
[Yu Huating is on the basement level, Director Huang is on the fourth level, and Gu Zhi is on the atmosphere level]
[Du Xiaofang is still eating melon seeds with her sisters at this time]
[It feels like this is the happiest half day she has had since she appeared on the show…]
[Luo Pan has borrowed a mobile phone and mobilized the public on the Big Eyes Forum to find Wang Zihe]
[Netizens are also wicked, saying it’s too vague to recognize….]
[Wang Zihe randomly chooses a direction and walks straight ahead, getting farther and farther away from Luo Pan]
[Is he taking such big steps because he is afraid of being caught up? ]
[He also said something like 'we will meet again if we are destined to do so', I really don't understand the train of thought of this artistic guy...]
[The couple who were truly destined to be together have returned home together]
"Why are there only two of us?" Jiang Ziyi walked around upstairs and downstairs but didn't see a single person.
"I saw the blog post that Luo Pan just posted. It seems that I have to meet my partner first before we can come back together." Gu Zhi suppressed the smile.
"Is this difficult?" Jiang Ziyi didn't understand. "Wouldn't you see me once you pushed the door open?"
"When we went out in the afternoon, no one brought their cell phones. We acted separately and didn't know each other's exact location," Gu Zhi explained patiently, "It's usually difficult to run into each other so quickly."
"Great, we won again!" Jiang Ziyi high-fived him loudly.
“…It’s usually difficult to meet someone so soon.” Gu Zhi covered his slightly red palm and continued to hint.
"If that's the case, then we are indeed destined to meet each other!" Jiang Ziyi finally reacted.
"Well, this is what they call fate." Gu Zhi nodded with satisfaction.
God's will is unpredictable. In order to achieve his wish as soon as possible, Gu Zhi will exert his subjective initiative to the maximum extent.
From the moment he received the questionnaire during the interview, the gears of fate were forcibly moved:
Such an ordinary question was handed to him when Jiang Ziyi was not around. There must be something mysterious about it.
Husband and wife fill out the form separately in order to conceal information.
Only asking guests to describe their venue requirements and not accepting any specifications makes it easier for the program team to schedule.
It is clearly a scattered segment of meeting with relatives and friends, but it needs to be arranged and dispatched in a unified manner. I guess there are some follow-up tasks.
Then the scope of this task will most likely be chosen near the core area of the program recording - the "Love House".
Next, just search for nearby dining and leisure places, and choose cafes and teahouses that are run by the same owner and are adjacent to each other.
Then, the unique characteristics of the coffee shop were subtly implanted into Jiang Ziyi's mind.
When she was filling out her questionnaire, she wanted to drink coffee with Chen Yuan and Mao Yuanzhan in a place where "the boss is very busy and there is a cat watching the shop."
Finally, take advantage of two noisy childhood friends and move the chat location to the next door.
The moment you push open the door, you can see Jiang Ziyi's beautiful eyes, slightly widened with surprise.
In fact, after guessing the intention of the program team, Gu Zhi also thought of other plans.
For example, he would secretly leave some obvious clues, and then wait there reservedly. When Jiang Ziyi found him, he would spread his arms wide, excitedly bump into his arms, and then proudly boast about his "case-solving experience."
Or, he would hide his whereabouts, follow her not too far away, and when Jiang Ziyi started to feel anxious, he would hug her in his arms without saying a word.
But Gu Zhi still took the risk of being exposed and chose the most direct and bizarre "coincidence".
He wanted to use such an obvious method to convey the message to Jiang Ziyi that "we are destined to be together."
During their previous interactions, Gu Zhi had often planned for moments like this.
Because Jiang Ziyi is a person who likes to go with the flow when encountering things.
In other words, her needs are always suppressed by herself first.
If there is no food, then I will starve. If I cannot enter the house, then I will find a place to sit down. If the shooting cannot be finished, then I will keep carrying it...
This is especially true in relationships.
Jiang Ziyi had already been prepared for Gu Zhi to leave at any time, and would never force him.
But Gu Zhi insisted.
Every destiny, every coincidence, every glance must bind her and him tightly together.
This is their fate, their destiny.
Gu Zhi would hint to Jiang Ziyi again and again: every branch of this story can lead to the most perfect ending.
