Window words bloom
These are such sensitive words, especially in this kind of circle.
Xiang Nan was so surprised he couldn't close his mouth, while Jiang Wang smiled helplessly.
Qin Xiao didn't care, and shrugged, "Come on."
Lin Yi pursed her lips tightly, her gaze occasionally falling on Qiao Yu.
Gu Qing immediately blushed and looked at Ling Chuan.
Only Qiao Yu and Ling Chuan heard about it, but remained silent as if nothing had happened.
Everyone started to speak freely, and the order was determined by spinning the bottle.
First up was Qin Xiao, who was the most indifferent.
Xiang Nan teased, "Speak properly, your first love might be watching."
Qin Xiao grinned mischievously: "My first love was wonderful. She was the school beauty, and she pursued me..."
Xiang Nan asked, "Who suggested breaking up?"
Qin Xiao glanced at him, reluctant to answer, but finally pursed her lips and replied, "Her."
Everyone: "Hahahaha..."
Qin Xiao: "I'm not embarrassed at all, that's all."
Xiang Nan said: "After the broadcast, Brother Qin will be trending on social media. Who dumped him?"
The crowd burst into laughter again.
When it was Su Su's turn, she only said that he was a senior from university. Girls are shy, so no one asked any further questions.
Then he went to Jiang Wang, who he said was his childhood sweetheart and now his wife.
Everyone cast envious glances their way.
When it was Gu Qing's turn, she smiled shyly, "I...haven't been in a relationship yet. My first love and crush will always be the same person. I'm trying..."
After speaking, her shy gaze fell directly on Ling Chuanye, and everyone followed her gaze and looked over.
Xiang Nan: "Oh..."
The crowd echoed, "Wow..."
Ling Chuan pretended not to know, his expression indifferent, lost in thought.
Unable to get a response, Gu Qing could only remain silent and lower her head.
Then, Xiang Nan said, "My first love was the girl downstairs, a year younger than me. One day I cornered her in the stairwell..."
Qin Xiao: "He's a complete bastard."
Xiang Nan said, "Brother Qin, what are you thinking? I'm just confessing my feelings, that's all."
Qin Xiao: "Really?"
Xiang Nanyu: "Absolutely, but... well, it's just like that."
Lin Yi covered her mouth and laughed: "You got rejected just like that?"
To the south is neither a question nor an answer.
Lin Yi: "You, who are so handsome, were rejected directly?"
Xiang Nan said, "She said... he doesn't date girls who aren't good at studying..."
Everyone: "..."
It was Qiao Yu's turn.
Before Qiao Yu could speak, Qin Xiao leaned closer and interrupted, "I'm curious, what would you say?"
Lin Yi, who was standing nearby, overheard this and said, "Qin Xiao, are you and Qiao Qiao very close? I always feel that your relationship is more than just ordinary."
Xiang Nanyu: "I feel the same way."
Gu Qing: "You guys?"
Worried about misunderstanding, Qiao Yu replied directly, "We are alumni, high school alumni, but... we're not close."
Everyone suddenly realized.
After explaining, Qiao Yu pondered for a moment before formally answering her question about her first love: "I have a first love buried deep in my heart. He was...sunny and handsome, gentle and considerate...but it ended before it even began."
Qin Xiao joked, "Oh? Who is it?"
Lin Yi: "Wow, curious?"
Gu Qing pricked up her ears.
Qiao Yu: "Everyone says it's buried deep in my heart, how can I say it?"
Qin Xiao: "Tch, really? It doesn't look like it to me."
Qin Xiao almost blurted it out, but Qiao Yu quickly tried to cover it up: "You don't even know him..."
With Qin Xiao between them, Ling Chuan also stared thoughtfully at Qiao Yu.
She has a first love buried deep in her heart?
Qin Xiao doesn't recognize him, is it not him?
His chest felt blocked by something, making it difficult to even breathe. His heart was being tightly gripped, giving him a strange sense of panic.
After Qiao Yu finished speaking, it was Lin Yi's turn.
"My first love hadn't even started yet. I first met him in college when he came to our school as a guest. I... fell in love with him at first sight, and then..."
She glanced at Qiao Yu and said, "He said he has someone he likes, but I still like him a lot. I just hope he can look at me once."
Su Su: "Wow, Teacher Lin's crush is so sincere, does he know?"
Lin Yi shook her head.
Qiao Yu: "Then you have to let him know."
Lin Yi stared intently at Qiao Yu: "Really?"
Qiao Yu nodded: "After having a crush on him for so many years, it's time to let him know. Maybe there will be unexpected results?"
Lin Yi smiled and said, "Yes, I'll go see him when we get back to Haicheng."
Finally, it was Ling Chuanye's turn, and all the guests, even the staff and the director, looked at him with serious expressions.
Silence fell over the air. Qin Xiao suddenly spoke up: "Hurry up and say it, everyone is waiting."
Ling Chuan was both annoyed and amused, "Still brainstorming..."
Xiang Nan said, "Wait, wait, can I ask a question first? I know that Teacher Ling has never had any scandals since her debut, and everyone is speculating that you..."
Ling Chuan was speechless: "I don't like men."
Xiang Nan was relieved: "Director, did you get the footage? Teacher Ling has clarified things, so please don't spread any more bad rumors about her..."
Qin Xiao nudged him with his elbow: "Then why don't you say it?"
Tell me your first love is right here, she is Qiao Yu.
The internet will be flooded with messages soon.
Qiao Yu gripped the chair tightly, worried that he might say something shocking, but the question was about her first love—could it be her?
He said he gave her his first kiss, his first love...
Ling Chuan was also annoyed with Qin Xiao. He turned his head and glanced at him impatiently, then his gaze naturally fell on Qiao Yu next to him.
He glanced at her briefly, then looked away, a slight smile playing on his lips: "First love..."
"We're pursuing them."
Everyone: "......"
Everyone froze for three seconds.
3, 2, 1...
"Wow, Teacher Ling is pursuing her first love."
"Wow... The entertainment industry is about to undergo a major transformation."
"The Best Actor truly lives up to his title. He dares to speak his mind and not only dares to speak but also dares to act on it. I'm following him. My goodness, who is it? So lucky."
"First love, pursuing her, oh my god, how romantic!"
......
Director: "The ratings... are going to explode!"
Xiang Nan gave Ling Chuan a thumbs up with an expression of admiration.
"Teacher Ling, you are truly brave."
Qin Xiao covered his mouth and laughed non-stop, patting Ling Chuanye on the shoulder: "Good luck."
Jiang Wang: "I wish Teacher Ling will soon see the light at the end of the tunnel."
Su Su and Lin Yi: "Wow, congratulations, Teacher Ling..."
Gu Qing was so angry she jumped up and down, her eyes bloodshot: "Teacher Ling... your first love? Are you pursuing her?"
Ling Chuan didn't even look at her and nodded his chin without hesitation.
Gu Qing burst into tears and ran away.
Qiao Yu leaned back in her chair, her lips pressed tightly together, her ears turning bright red. She raised her hand to rub her ears to hide her excitement.
He said:
First love
We're following up.
At that moment, she felt lightheaded, a feeling she had never experienced before.
Ling Chuan leaned back in his chair, glancing sideways slightly.
Qin Xiao consciously leaned forward and chatted with Xiang Nan, who was sitting opposite him.
Her eyes were bright, and a smile crept across her tightly pursed lips, revealing shallow dimples.
Ling Chuan's gentle gaze lingered briefly on Qiao Yu's face, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but turn up in a smile.
......
The next evening, Qiao Yu returned to Haicheng, where Yang Yu picked her up.
A white Mercedes sped through the neon lights of Haicheng, cutting through the damp night.
With a slight turn of the steering wheel, Yang Yu asked her, "How are things between you and Ling Chuan?"
Qiao Yu gazed out the window as neon lights flashed by, a splash of color appearing in her amber eyes.
"Just focus on driving."
Yang Yu said anxiously, "Tell me quickly, I'm driving very well."
He said he was pursuing his first love.
"What?"
Yang Yu was so surprised that he stepped on the gas and sped off.
Thankfully, we were almost at our residential area, and there were few cars and people on the road.
"Tell me quickly, what exactly happened?"
Qiao briefly recounted what had recently happened.
Yang Yu laughed loudly: "You were absolutely right, he really did come back to pursue you. He missed five years, he should..."
Qiao Yu sighed, "But I don't dare to think about what will happen if it's exposed..."
Yang Yu comforted her, "Qiaoqiao, we'll all be there for you."
Qiao Yu was still somewhat unsettled.
"Oh, by the way, I heard from Wan that she sent the finalized script to your email so you can take a look and come up with a name together."
Lin Tingwan was the screenwriter who collaborated with Director Yu on his previous film. After spending several months together, the two became friends.
Lin Tingwan told her a story: love that was never spoken turned into separation, and after many years they met again, love blossomed, but the cruelty of reality became an insurmountable chasm between the lovers.
She said she wanted to give them a beautiful first encounter, to meet each other at the most innocent age.
Later, Qiao Yu told her a story.
The story is about her and Ling Chuanye five years ago, but Qiao Yu didn't say that she was the female lead.
Lin Tingwan was very interested and asked Qiao Yu if she could write it into a short story.
Last year, Qiao Yu suddenly got the urge to write and finally finished it before the new year, sending it to Lin Tingwan.
Tingwan really liked the campus scenes she wrote; it was exactly the kind of feeling she wanted, and that was the turning point in her life.
Finally, Lin Tingwan replied to her, saying that Director Yu was also very interested.
The most beautiful first encounter and an unforgettable love.
"Okay, I'll reply to her after I read it..."
Qiao Yu stayed at home for several days to finalize the film's title. She eventually named the campus scenes "Flowers Bloom by the Window" and the urban reunion scenes "When Light Kiss Rises." She then organized her opinions and sent them to Lin Tingwan's email address.
They received the reply quickly and will give her an answer in a few days.
Everything seemed to have settled down.
When Yang Yu entered the study with a water glass, Qiao Yu was still engrossed in her novel.
Yang Yu: "Oh, is she swooning over a girl?"
Qiao Yu snapped out of her daze: "No, I didn't."
Yang Yu: "The Window Story is being adapted into a film and television series. You should audition for it, right?"
"Yes, but I want to audition as a free agent and sever all ties with Canyu Entertainment."
Yang Yu handed the water glass to Qiao Yu, then pulled her to sit down and said in a serious tone, "Gu Yun Shen has been acting strangely lately. He hasn't arranged any work for you, and he's canceled all the collaborations I have."
Qiao Yu frowned.
Yang Yu: "It's the last month, is he trying to... part ways amicably?"
Qiao Yu smiled and said, "Is that possible? He's probably waiting for me to come to him."
"So, are you going?"
"go......"
Canyu Building.
Gu Yunshen's office.
Qiao Yu was surprised to find Gu Qing there when she arrived.
She paused before walking inside, and Gu Qing's eyes were filled with hatred the moment she saw her.
When Gu Yun Shen saw her enter, he put down his coffee cup, walked around the large desk, and leaned against the edge of the desk to wait for her to come over.
As Qiao Yu approached the two, Gu Qing chuckled sarcastically, "Qiao Yu, I'm really curious, who is your first love that you keep buried deep in your heart?"
Qiao Yu smiled and said, "Gu Qing, you're being too nosy."
Gu Qing was so angry that she grimaced. She had noticed something from the variety show that Ling Chuan treated her differently. She also remembered Ling Chuan's comment about pursuing his first love. Who was that woman? She had been holding back for days and just wanted to vent her frustrations. And now, Qiao Yu had delivered herself right to her doorstep.
"Qiao Yu, don't think that just because my brother is protecting you, I won't dare to mess with you..."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and waved, but Gu Yun Shen grasped it firmly. "Brother..."
Gu Yun Shen coldly glared at Gu Qing: "Get out..."
Gu Qing stomped her feet in anger, complaining that she was going to tell her uncle, and walked away with a "thump thump thump" in her high heels.
The moment Gu Qing's figure disappeared through the doorway, Qiao Yu felt a sway.
She was suddenly pulled into Gu Yun Shen's arms.
Her pupils constricted sharply, and with a cold expression, she raised her hand to push Gu Yun Shen away, "Let go of me..."
Gu Yun Shen held her waist tightly with one hand, and pressed down on the hand that was pushing him with the other, holding it in his palm.
Qiao Yu gritted her teeth and tried to push Gu Yun Shen away, but the difference in strength was too great.
Gu Yun Shen watched her grow angry and annoyed with amusement until she finally stopped all her movements, her face flushed with resentment.
Qiao Yu squinted her bloodshot eyes and met Gu Yun Shen's gaze. "Mr. Gu, you've crossed the line."
Gu Yun Shen scoffed coldly: "Qiao Yu, I'm also curious about who that person in your heart is?"
Qiao Yu kept a cold face and refused to look at him.
"Is it because of him that you've never agreed to be with me?"
Qiao Yu calmly raised her eyes, her tone cold, "Even without him, I wouldn't be with you."
Gu Yun Shen's grip on her hand seemed to tighten even more. He tapped his back teeth together and said, "Qiao Yu, is your heart made of stone? Three years have passed; even a stone would have been warmed by my touch. But what about you..."
Qiao Yu's gaze grew increasingly somber. She opened her mouth, her chest heaving as she coldly laughed, "Gu Yun Shen, I have never had any feelings for you in that way, not in the past, and not in the future."
Gu Yun Shen gritted his teeth and closed his eyes briefly. When he opened them again, his eyes were filled with deep emotion. "Qiao Qiao, feelings can develop over time, as long as your heart slowly draws closer to me..."
Qiao Yu was surprised by Gu Yun Shen's stubbornness. "Gu Yun Shen, your heart is sealed. How can I get close to you now..."
The force behind her waist suddenly dissipated, and Qiao Yu trembled as she staggered backward.
Gu Yun Shen shook his head in disbelief, a bloodthirsty red gradually emanating from his dark eyes, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Who is that person?"
No comment.
"Is it Ling Chuanye?"
Qiao Yu's heart skipped a beat, but she remained expressionless. "I said I have no comment."
Gu Yun Shen straightened up, his reddened eyes lowered, and he regained his usual aloof demeanor. He spoke in a deep voice, "Qiao Yu, there's less than a month left on the contract. Do you want to terminate it?"
Qiao Yu had long anticipated that he would threaten her with contract termination.
What do you want?
Gu Yun Shen turned around, looked out the window at the dark clouds obscuring the sun, and chuckled: "Qiao Yu, go back and wait. I'll contact you when I've thought it through."
......
Half an hour after Qiao Yu left, her secretary came to ask for instructions, saying that a Miss Lin had come looking for her.
Gu Yunshen met her.
