Chapter 22 Parting ways seems impossible.
Who would have thought that someone like Gu Yishen could become friends with someone as unrelated as Luo Jia?
Facing countless cameras and in front of so many people, Lin Manxi, no matter how unwilling she was, dared not say anything more.
"Everyone has misunderstood... I just happened to run into Actor Gu, and I was just about to go over and say hello when this misunderstanding happened. I'm really sorry..."
Lin Manxi's voice was soft and gentle, with a hint of shyness in her expression.
In fact, Luo Jiayin's impression of Lin Manyi wasn't bad. She was just a spoiled young lady who had been pampered since childhood and was infatuated with Gu Yishen's good looks. She used some tricks to pursue her idol.
From this perspective, Lin Manxi's little scheme seems to have been used rather inappropriately.
To be fair, Lin Manxi is quite beautiful, with a perfect oval face and delicate features. If it were any other guy, he would probably have fallen for her long ago.
Luo Jiayin felt that if she weren't a woman, she might have been attracted to Lin Manyi.
Unfortunately, such looks meant absolutely nothing to Gu Yishen; he didn't even bother to glance at them, finding it nothing more than harassment.
As Luo Jiayin thought this, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, glanced at Gu Yishen without making a sound, and then smiled at Lin Manxi, saying, "Miss Lin, you don't need to feel sorry. Our profession is special, and we are always subject to public scrutiny. You don't need to take it too seriously."
Upon hearing this, Lin Manxi's face lit up with joy. She really hadn't expected Luo Jia to speak up for her.
Moreover, Luo Jia and Gu Yishen seem to have a good relationship...
Thinking of this, Lin Manxi's eyes darted around, and she smiled at Luo Jia, saying, "Luo Jia, you're so kind. I've always heard Brother Shen talk about you before, but I've never had the chance to meet you. Now my wish has finally come true."
As Lin Manxi spoke, her eyes remained fixed on Luo Jia's face, filled with anticipation and longing.
Luo Jia smiled and shook his head.
She knew what Lin Manxi was up to. She simply thought that she and Gu Yishen were really sworn brothers, and wanted to get on her good side in the hopes of getting closer to Gu Yishen through her.
Unfortunately, her relationship with Gu Yishen was purely a charade, and since she is currently in the rising phase of her career, it's not really appropriate for her to get too close to female celebrities.
A good scandal is one that is used only when necessary and in a reasonable way to achieve the best cost-effectiveness.
Luo Jiayin casually replied, "Miss Lin, you flatter me. I'm still a newcomer when it comes to acting, and there's a lot I need to learn from Actor Gu."
Then, she slowly addressed the reporters around her, saying, "Dear media friends, well... it's getting late, and we've taken up so much of your time. Old Gu and I have other appointments with friends, so we really have to go now."
After speaking, she nodded politely to Lin Manxi, and then left with Gu Yishen and their respective assistants.
Lin Manxi responded with a smile, but a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes as she watched the two figures leave.
But soon, that disappointment turned into a hint of jealousy.
She was actually a little envious of Luo Jia, who could be so intimate with Gu Yishen so openly and in front of everyone.
Although it was just a pure male friendship.
...
Gu Yishen, Luo Jiayin, and the others arrived at the underground parking lot of Xingda Shopping Mall.
When Gu Yishen and Feng Xu helped the two women carry the bags of groceries to the car, they suddenly noticed out of the corner of their eyes that there were still a few paparazzi with ulterior motives following not far away.
Luo Jiayin couldn't help but snort inwardly.
Sure enough, these paparazzi in the entertainment industry are incredibly bored if they don't capture some so-called sensational news every day!
Gu Yishen and Luo Jiayin exchanged glances, both seeing a playful smile in each other's eyes.
Gu Yishen has been in the entertainment industry for so long, so he naturally knows the nature of paparazzi.
In fact, celebrities of Gu Yishen's caliber rarely find themselves being so openly and closely followed by paparazzi.
When Gu Yishen saw the paparazzi, he didn't seem to care at all, and even showed a faint smile, as if he had already guessed that this would be the result.
Luo Jiayin frowned slightly. She was just thinking of helping Gu Yishen with this small favor as a way of repaying the favor he had done for her last time.
Secondly, if Gu Yishen is a person who is easily embarrassed, then having Gu Yishen remember her favor would be entirely beneficial to her.
Moreover, no one knows Luo Jia's true gender. Even if people find out that she and Gu Yishen are close, there won't be any rumors about them. At most, people will think they are just good buddies.
However, since the paparazzi have already followed them here, if they continue to follow the car after they leave, then she might really have to take the act seriously and invite Gu Yishen, this big shot, back to enjoy this hot pot together...
Luo Jiayin couldn't help but feel like crying.
These days, it's really hard to do good deeds. She could have been happily at home, eating hot pot and singing.
Who would have thought that a trip to the supermarket would result in being robbed by bandits...
Oh wait, the "Let the Bullets Fly" meme might not be quite right here. It should be said that who would have thought that Gu Yishen would try to take advantage of the situation?
Gu Yishen and Luo Jiayin exchanged a glance, and naturally, they put the things Luo Jiayin had bought into the trunk of Gu Yishen's car.
...
Luo Jia sat comfortably in the back seat of Gu Yishen's newly acquired Bentley Continental GT Black Knight, and suddenly felt that treating Gu Yishen to hot pot didn't seem so unacceptable after all.
"Those people are still following us."
Yu Jiu glanced at the white Volkswagen following behind and asked Luo Jiayin beside him with some concern.
"It's nothing more than that I ruined Gu Dayingdi's freshly made hot scandal, and he's a little unwilling to accept it. He wants to see if I'm really his brother or if I'm just covering for him."
Luo Jiayin said dismissively.
"These paparazzi are only in it for the money. If they can get some pictures, they'll make a fortune. Even if they can't, they won't lose anything."
Yu Jiu found her words quite reasonable and was speechless.
"Then... should we stop the car, or shake them off and then separate?" Gu Yishen asked tentatively as he saw Yu Jiu and Luo Jiayin's conversation in the rearview mirror.
"It's probably impossible for Actor Gu to part ways with me now."
