Chapter 75 The Fans' Minds Are Hard to fathom
Mei smiled and agreed, while Luo Jiayin glanced at the time and felt it was about time to go eat.
So the two of them went downstairs and called Yu Jiu, and the three of them went out together.
Luo Jiayin had Yu Jiu book the meal at a very famous Western restaurant in City A.
Although it wasn't lunchtime yet, the restaurant was still packed, brightly lit and bustling with people.
Yu Jiu stepped forward and gave the name she had left when making the reservation. The three of them were then led to the private room they had reserved by the waiter.
Luo Jiayin chose a seat by the window and ordered a steak and a few bottles of wine, while Yu Jiu ordered two bottles of red wine and a plate of grilled meat.
Only Sister Mei ordered a few servings of vegetables that looked like "healthy food".
Luo Jiayin didn't have a particular fondness for red wine, so she ordered beer instead. Before the food even arrived, she poured herself a glass of beer.
"Luo Jia, is something on your mind?"
Luo Jiayin was drinking her wine with her head down when Yu Jiu suddenly looked up at her and asked with a serious expression.
Luo Jiayin was stunned for a moment.
She looked up at Yu Jiu and sighed inwardly.
Ever since Yu Jiu overheard her conversation with Ye Jian, he seems to have become increasingly attentive to her, paying close attention to her work and even her daily life at home.
"Jiu Jiu, I'm fine. I just had dinner with Sister Mei today, and it was a good time."
Yu Jiu felt much more at ease after hearing Luo Jiayin's words.
It seems that Luo Jiayin had deliberately sent her away at home so that she could take the opportunity to tell Sister Mei what she wanted to know, and she had already explained everything.
"Alright then, I won't nag you anymore, but you absolutely mustn't get yourself drunk!"
Yu Jiu gave a smiling instruction.
"Yeah, don't worry. Besides, Sister Mei is watching over me, so I won't drink too much."
Luo Jiayin nodded solemnly, then smiled at Sister Mei.
Yu Jiu chatted with Sister Mei about Luo Jiayin's work. After the waiter served all the dishes, the three of them began to enjoy the signature dishes of "Yu Lou Chun" while chatting and laughing.
...
After a satisfying meal, Sister Mei took Luo Jiayin and Yu Jiu home and then said goodbye, saying she had to go back to the company.
Luo Jiayin and Yu Jiu knew that Luo Jiayin was now famous and that Sister Mei had been quite busy lately, so they didn't try to persuade her to stay.
After Sister Mei left, Luo Jiayin and Yu Jiu nestled on the sofa in the living room to "digest" their food. Yu Jiu gently nudged Luo Jiayin's arm with her elbow.
"Hey, Ayin, have you told Sister Mei everything about your situation?"
"Well, she didn't say much. But Sister Mei knows I'm a girl now," Luo Jiayin replied.
Yu Jiu nodded. "It's good for Sister Mei to know. She's been so good to you and has always taken care of you. I think if Sister Mei knew about you, she would be more careful and wouldn't expose your true identity."
Luo Jiayin laughed, "Jiu Jiu, I suddenly feel that having you by my side makes me a very happy person, haha."
"But you don't need to worry too much. Sister Mei is not an outsider, she will definitely not reveal my secret. The main thing is that I think it will be easier for us to do things in the future if Sister Mei knows this."
Yu Jiu nodded; in fact, that was what she thought too.
Although Luo Jiayin still had many things to tell her in detail, Yu Jiu had a vague feeling that Luo Jiayin might be about to do something extraordinary.
Perhaps, there will still be danger.
Sister Mei has always been good to them. I am still too young and inexperienced. I can't compare to Sister Mei's thoughtfulness. Having someone who knows me well by my side is always a good thing for Luo Jiayin.
However, Luo Jiayin had not actually told her about the years she was "missing" in northern Myanmar, or about the Black Palace.
However, Luo Jiayin didn't say it, but Yu Jiu knew that she probably felt the time wasn't right yet.
Yu Jiu didn't want to ask too many questions and put unnecessary psychological pressure on Luo Jiayin.
Given their childhood friendship, she still hoped that Luo Jiayin could live a more relaxed life.
Actually, just like Luo Jiayin is now, it would be great to be a moderately famous idol star in the entertainment industry, making movies and appearing on variety shows.
"If you don't have anything planned for tomorrow, then stay home. We're going to record the show 'Hold On to the Villain's Script' the day after tomorrow, so just stay home and work on your script."
"Yes, Assistant Yu."
Yu Jiu rolled her eyes at Luo Jiayin, and the two joked and teased each other for a while before going back to their rooms to rest.
...
The next day, Luo Jiayin indeed didn't cause any more trouble and stayed home obediently to read the script.
In fact, she had read the script for this role many times, and Luo Jiayin already knew the contents of the script by heart.
Luo Jiayin just wanted to do more research and see if she could find any clues in her notebook in advance, so that she could be more at ease when she appeared on the show and could handle various situations on the spot.
However, no matter how you look at the script for a single character, you can't really see anything interesting about it.
So Luo Jiayin put down the script, took out her phone, and prepared to relax by watching some short videos.
As soon as Luo Jiayin opened the short video app, the first video the app recommended to her was a compilation of her and Gu Yishen's "sweet interactions".
To be honest, Luo Jiayin was a little speechless...
She felt that if she had debuted as herself instead of as Luo Jia, the public probably wouldn't have been so accepting of her "rumored relationship" with Gu Yishen.
Putting everything else aside, just look at Gu Yishen's "wife fans" and "girlfriend fans"—their spittle alone could drown her.
These young people these days are really hard to fathom. When it comes to couples who are "handsome men and beautiful women," they always think that one of them is not good enough for the other, that one of them is marrying above their station, or that one of them is just trying to ride on the other's coattails.
On the contrary, they prefer shipping couples between men and men, or women and women...
Does this mean the principle of "opposites attract" is unreliable, and that feelings between people of the same sex are purely platonic?
Luo Jiayin doesn't think so.
Just in the last two days, she also saw a trending topic about the collapse of a handsome couple in Thailand.
Luo Jiayin remembered that it seemed to be one of the guys in that CP who had some unpleasantness with his girlfriend. Then, on a certain social media platform, he used his main account to post an article defending his girlfriend, violently breaking off the CP he had been associated with for several years, and even mocking the CP fans for having mental illnesses.
It's truly distasteful that an artist who quickly rose to fame by creating a romantic pairing with another person turns around and criticizes the fans who initially paid for his "bromance" behavior.
