Chapter 84 Medusa
"Han Yunxing secretly meets with a non-celebrity on a rainy night, behaving intimately?!"
Yunqi couldn't understand: "No? I'm just wearing a knitted hat, and they've changed my gender."
She nudged the person knitting next to her and read the comment below word by word: "This woman is truly devoted; she even rushes to hold an umbrella for a man in the rain!!"
"Love what? Love me?!" Yun Qi pointed to herself, speechless at these unscrupulous media outlets, which had made her the butt of jokes with the members all morning.
"Mmm, I love it." Han Yunxing held up the object in her hand, circled it around Yun Qi's head to compare its size, and ignored her exclamation.
“That’s true,” Yun Qi’s expression immediately softened, but she still curled her lip and scoffed at the reports: “I am Han Yunxing’s best friend.”
"Right?! Right?!"
Han Yunxing was entangled by Yun Qi, unable to continue her actions. She replied helplessly again, "Yes." How many times does she have to ask this question?!
Yun Qi quieted down, sitting cross-legged on the floor, her hands supporting her chin, watching Han Yunxing knit. Her mind, however, was wandering, thinking about how to match the new hat. She couldn't let it end up like its predecessor, creating another embarrassing blunder.
Yunqi's head spun around, and in a short time, she changed her hair into seven or eight different styles.
Han Yunxing's eyelids twitched, and she silently turned her back to her, continuing to knit the hat in her hands.
Yun Qi could be said to be the person who visited Han Yunxing's house most frequently, apart from her relatives, especially after her own period of activity ended, the frequency of staying at Han Yunxing's house increased sharply.
Sometimes it was Han Yunxing's invitation to a small gathering, and sometimes it was simply Yun Qi wanting to chat with her under the covers at night.
Today, Yunqi came to complain to Han Yunxing before she left for Paris.
Just then, Han Yunxing was doing some handicrafts out of boredom. Seeing Yun Qi looking aggrieved, she quickly sewed her needle and thread, and a hat in the color of a cinnamon dog gradually took shape, with a "well" character woven on it.
Han Yunxing cut off the loose thread with scissors and then put the hat on Yunqi's head.
She chuckled when she saw the person instantly turn into an angry cinnamon dog, and casually handed the mirror to Yun Qi.
Yunqi shook her head in front of the mirror, deliberately making an angry expression. Her fluffy, droopy ears swayed along with her head, and the tic-tac-toe mark on her forehead was very eye-catching.
In short, a fluffy little dog is a good match for Yunqi.
Yunqi once said: Autumn and hot pot are the perfect match.
They chatted until sunset, then Han Yunxing and Yun Qi went out to eat at Haidilao near their home. They had booked a private room in advance, and after all the dishes were served, the two of them sipped the rich tomato soup and let out a long, comfortable sigh.
If you don't drink the tomato soup, you'll miss out on half the Haidilao hot pot.
"Yunxing unnie, how long are you going to stay over there?" Yunqi asked while munching on vegetables.
Han Yunxing swallowed the vegetables and replied, "There's another shoot coming up, probably five or six days."
"Waiting for you to come back... how long will this last!" Yunqi chewed her food with tears in her eyes. Recently, Gidle has been in contact with a girl group competition variety show. In order to look good on camera, she can only lose weight. It's just that Yunxing suffers from having to eat a completely vegetarian meal with her.
She wanted to retract that statement; tomato soup is nothing compared to the essence of Haidilao – the fatty beef is the real highlight!
"Next time I'll stir-fry you a plate of meat, then you won't want to anymore." Han Yunxing suddenly used her trump card.
Yun Qi: "I am willing to be a vegetarian for a month in exchange for Han Yunxing never cooking again."
Han Yunxing: Not very harmful, but extremely insulting.

This year's French Vogue year-end issue cover is slightly different from previous years; instead of the usual European and American model, it features an East Asian face.
The deep lake surface suddenly seemed to be sucked back. The jeweled snakes wrapped around Han Yunxing's hair pierced the water's surface, creating ripples. Crystalline water droplets fell along her hair onto her delicate collarbone, reflecting a soft green light.
A serpent coiled arrogantly among her hair, but all the onlookers could see was her cold and beautiful face. The serpent, inlaid with tourmaline, snaked across her brow. Han Yunxing's left eye was a pool of clear water, while her right eye was as black as flowing ink, captivating yet extremely dangerous.
This issue of Vogue was given to Han Yunxing by Bulgari. As Bulgari's signature jewelry, the dazzling snake jewelry on her head complemented her perfectly. Han Yunxing perfectly expressed the tension between danger and allure. Halfway through the photoshoot, Han Yunxing was already being called "Oriental Medusa".
The photoshoot went smoothly, but the final product won't be published for at least another month. However, industry insiders in China have already revealed that Bulgari is in contact with Han Yunxing, and it's predicted that Bulgari will put a lot of effort into the styling for this Paris Couture show.
Just as predicted, Han Yoon-sung's outfits were entirely provided by Miu Miu and Bulgari. Complete sets of high-end jewelry and haute couture gowns were delivered to Han Yoon-sung's hotel.
However, before that, Han Yunxing fell ill.
Underwater filming is physically demanding, especially during the autumn and winter season. After filming wrapped, Han Yunxing couldn't resist the urge and caught a cold. She felt dizzy and listless.
Fortunately, Shin Lina always carries essential medications with her on her trips. After taking the medicine, Han Yoon-sung was still a little weak, but at least her cough stopped.
Parisian haute couture showrooms are generally not open to the public; only invited partners can enter to learn about the brand's backstory and observe how master artisans create exquisite garments.
Han Yoon-sung attended a high-end embroidery workshop. Accompanied by the CEO of Miu Miu, she visited and experienced the Lesage and Montex workshops, which provide embroidery services for multiple brands.
Han Yunxing was very interested in the craftsmanship process of the handicraftsmen. With the master craftsman's introduction, she asked questions from time to time and even tried sewing the embroidery with his help.
The experience ended happily for both host and guest. Before leaving, the CEO specially commissioned an embroidered bag for her, with star-shaped beaded embroidery on the bag.
At the end of the year, Miu Miu's official account posted photos on Instagram of the haute couture embroidery workshop, announcing Han Yoon-sung as the global brand ambassador and calling her the muse of inspiration.
Within a week, Bulgari's CEO followed Han Yunxing's Instagram account, and Han Yunxing was appointed as Bulgari's brand ambassador for the Asia-Pacific region.
Is Han Yunxing's access to resources bought with money, or does she truly possess fashion sense?
Miu Miu got promoted, and Bulgari suddenly appointed her as their brand ambassador. I'm so jealous! This young lady can get whatever she wants so easily.
—Bulgari recommended her for the cover of Vogue, French edition, and it's the year-end issue. Wow…
—I didn't see any artistic flair; I guess everyone's just buying based on the looks. Both companies' designs have become a bit clichéd in recent years.
—Their fandom has recently been using that world-weary face as a meme, but frankly, Han Yunxing's girlish image isn't even properly established yet.
—Wow, you guys are really bold. Be careful, her fans might come after you.
—They don't play group games much, unless we have a mole.
—Translated in seconds, who cares so much?
Friends, buckle up, we're about to take off!
—Get rid of the mole…
Celebrities don't care what others say about them being jealous. If they saw it, they might even say, "Thank you for thinking my star is beautiful too."
Miu Miu released behind-the-scenes photos of a visit to the Paris Métiers d'Art. Han Yoon-sung wore a black silk dress with a vintage square scarf tied around her slender neck, adorned with a Bulgari rose gold snake brooch at the knot, exuding a retro yet charming vibe.
She stroked the snake's head with her fingers, her brow furrowed, her head tilted slightly back, her eyelashes trembling, and her dark eyes gazing intently into the sky, veiled by a layer of mist.
Han Yunxing has been seeing fans praising this photo online recently. It can only be said that the photographer's skill in capturing the moment is remarkable. In reality, her throat suddenly became very itchy at that time, so she had to tilt her head back to suppress her cough.
Regardless of the story behind the photo, the stars valued the magazine's sales highly, using this behind-the-scenes photo as a promotional image for their stall, actively promoting Han Yoon-sung's first French Vogue year-end cover.
The magazine sold 90,000 copies within an hour of its launch, and ultimately sold out its entire stock of 100,000 copies in one hour and three minutes.
—May my wallet, which I share the burden with, warm me up.
—The stars are awesome!
—A hundred thousand units of inventory were almost sold out in one hour. What does that mean?! We can dominate the sales charts now.
Everyone's praising me, but I just want to cry... I came back from a meeting and everything was gone.
—Sister Fanxing is holding a giveaway, there's still some left, hurry up and grab it!
—Why is everyone talking about the results, and no one is praising Yunxing for her good filming?
—Miane, this is my personal wife, I want to praise her slowly in bed.
—Heterochromia! Hehehe~
—This woman radiates holy light, luring us to go and kill indiscriminately. Who would notice she's wearing a Bulgari-style headdress?
—The behind-the-scenes footage is simply unbeatable; such an authoritative face suddenly appears in the water. A true Medusa! Knowing the danger, yet unable to resist the temptation.
"If it were me, I'd be a diving champion in no time. Han Yunxing, I want to stick close to you!"
Park Soo-ji sat upright in her seat, blocking the chat box on the screen. She had just returned from a meeting and missed the launch of Han Yoon-sung's magazine, which was now sold out. The little voice in her heart was filled with tears of joy.
Upon seeing that fellow fans were saying that Fanxing was holding a giveaway, she skillfully turned on a VPN, bypassed the Great Firewall, and accessed Weibo. With the help of a translator, she forwarded and commented on Fanxing's giveaway post.
After doing all that, she breathed a sigh of relief and left it to fate, hoping to win the lottery.
As she bowed her head in prayer, Park Soo-ji felt a chill run down her spine. She slowly turned around to face the chairman's cold face and immediately straightened up: "Hello, I'm taking meeting minutes. Is there anything I can help you with?"
“That magazine.” The man pointed to the screen.
Park Soo-ji instinctively covered the screen, on the verge of tears, and slid down to her knees to apologize: "I'm so sorry, I won't handle personal matters during work hours next time."
"Ah no," Han Daoen said, looking confused, "I just wanted to ask you how to buy this magazine."
Seeing the composed Park Soo-ji, he patiently added, "It's lunch break now, you can take care of your personal matters."
Realizing what was happening, Park Soo-ji quickly stood up, invited her boss to her seat, and explained how the lottery worked. She concluded, "Yoon-sung's magazine is sold out; it can only be obtained through secondary channels. You can get a copy from other fans." Anyway, you have money; don't lower their chances of winning.
Han Daoen smiled and stood up: "Sold out? That's amazing."
He waited a long time without anyone responding to him, his lips twitched, but in the end he said nothing, turned around and went back to his office.
Park Soo-ji bowed and watched him leave, when suddenly a familiar pair of eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses flashed through her mind: If she wasn't mistaken, this was Yoon-sung's brother.
What's it like working for your idol's family?
Of course, I'm so happy I want to die.
Before the holiday, she received a visit from Han Yoon-sung on set. After Han Yoon-sung and Han Do-eun left, Park Soo-ji actually got a signed copy of the magazine from the secretary.
Park Soo-ji: I will never secretly talk bad about the boss again.
