Chapter 45 You don't suspect your movie star is gay, do you?
"Assistant Feng...?"
Looking at Feng Xu's expression, Yu Jiu was completely bewildered and couldn't help but call out to him again.
Feng Xu spent a long time organizing his thoughts, but still couldn't figure out how to say it properly, so he simply spoke his mind.
"Hey Assistant Yu, what do you think of... our Shen-ge? What do you think?"
Feng Xu remained silent, leaving Yu Jiu anxiously watching.
But as soon as Feng Xu said that, Yu Jiu was even more stunned.
What does "What do you think of our Shen Ge?" mean?
What makes her think that?
Could it be... that her status as a die-hard fan of Gu Yishen has been discovered?
No way...
Feng Xu saw Yu Jiu blinking, looking very conflicted, clearly indicating that she didn't understand what he was saying.
Feng Xu hesitated for a moment, then spoke again.
"What I mean is, what do you think of our two family members... this couple pairing?"
Yu Jiu: ...
Okay, now she understands.
So even Gu Yishen's assistant has started to think the two of them are a good match.
That makes things even easier!
Yu Jiu coughed lightly, deliberately feigning surprise.
"Assistant Feng, what do you mean by that? I'm a little confused."
Feng Xu stopped hiding his intentions. However, he felt that there must be something between his brother Shen and Luo Jia that was unclear. Yu Jiu was Luo Jia's assistant, so he would definitely side with Luo Jia.
To side with Luo Jia is the same as to side with Gu Yishen.
Feng Xu gritted his teeth and simply said what was on his mind: "Assistant Yu, to be honest, I've been following our Brother Shen for quite some time now."
"Um, you can just call me Yu Jiu, no need for Assistant Yu."
"Okay," Feng Xu replied. "Then you can call me by my full name, Feng Xu, from now on."
Yu Jiu nodded, and Feng Xu continued, "When Brother Shen was young, he was assigned to me by the company as soon as he debuted."
"Back then, I was a newbie too. To be honest, I was an intern at Sega back then."
“At first, Brother Shen was very soft-spoken and seemed easy to bully. The company didn’t take him seriously at the time. There were too many big shots in the company, and no one would pay attention to a newcomer. That’s why Brother Shen was assigned to me, the intern, to mentor.”
"No one expected that Brother Shen would be so ambitious. At such a young age, he managed to establish himself in the entertainment industry and later won the Best Actor award, a position he still holds today."
Yu Jiu listened intently as Feng Xu recounted the past events concerning Gu Yishen, becoming quite engrossed.
She remembered that she had liked Gu Yishen for quite a long time, probably since he was still a "young heartthrob," starting with the youth campus film "Chasing the Light" in which he starred.
At that time, she was just like any other fangirl, paying attention to and collecting all sorts of information about Gu Yishen.
However, she really hadn't heard a single thing about the "very reliable, very inside" information that Feng Xu mentioned.
Yu Jiu almost laughed.
Back then, when Luo Jiayin went to great lengths to trick her into becoming her assistant, she used Gu Yishen as bait quite a bit.
She even made a bold statement, saying that one day she would become a big shot as awesome as Gu Yishen, and then lead her to the star-studded path to Gu Yishen.
If Luo Jiayin knew, she would have absolutely no intention of "getting involved" with Gu Yishen, and even wanted her idol to become her best friend's man.
Hehe, how exciting! I wonder what Luo Jiayin will think.
Yu Jiu suppressed a sly laugh that almost escaped his lips, struggling to control his emotions, and said seriously to Feng Xu, "Actor Gu is indeed remarkable. But... this doesn't seem to have much to do with Luo Jia, does it..."
Feng Xu sighed: "Well, I don't really know how to put it..."
"Oh?" Yu Jiu raised an eyebrow.
"So you see, I've been following Brother Shen for so long. I wouldn't say I understand him 100%, but I at least know him inside and out. I think I've pretty much figured out his temperament and character."
“Shen Ge is great in every way, but I’ve noticed that… he seems to intentionally avoid anything related to women.”
"Things related to women?"
"Yes. He never uses women for marketing or hype, and he refuses all the pairings and scandals that the company arranges for him."
"His interactions with women are truly limited to purely professional relationships. In all the years I've known him, I've never seen Brother Shen have any female friends, whether they're in the industry or not."
Yu Jiu was somewhat surprised to hear this.
She knew what Gu Yishen meant by "aloof and reserved," after all, the actor's "high-and-mighty" persona was there, and he had to maintain that image no matter what.
However, Yu Jiu was surprised to find that Gu Yishen was actually so aloof in real life.
He doesn't even have a single female friend. It seems that this isn't just a persona for Gu Yishen; it's his true nature!
"That's not all. Not to mention the opposite sex, Brother Shen doesn't even have many friends of the same sex..." Feng Xu seemed to see what Yu Jiu was thinking and added.
This time, Yu Jiu was truly shocked.
This cannot be simply described by the word "sparse".
"Hey, Feng Xu, I have a question... Your movie star... could he be suffering from some kind of illness?" Yu Jiu said tactfully.
Yu Jiu had only meant it as a joke, but to his surprise, Feng Xu actually sighed and said dejectedly:
"I didn't think there was anything wrong with it before."
"Well... in the last few days, after I saw Brother Shen and Luo Jia interacting, I just kept feeling..."
"What do you think?" Yu Jiu asked slyly.
"I always felt that Brother Shen treated your Luo Jia... a little differently than others."
"Oh? What's different? Tell me more."
"Well... I can't really explain it, but it just feels like Brother Shen really cares about Luo Jia."
"Maybe he really considers your partner a friend. Otherwise, given Shen Ge's personality, he would never have promised your manager that he would take care of him on the show."
Yu Jiu listened to Feng Xu's words and understood the underlying meaning.
Judging from Feng Xu's strange expressions just now, she felt that what Feng Xu was thinking might be more than that.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Yu Jiu's mind. She slowly shifted her gaze to Feng Xu, and then asked him a startling question: "Feng Xu, you wouldn't happen to... suspect that your movie star is gay, would you?!"
