Xu Lang quickly covered his mouth and looked around.
Making sure no one heard, she breathed a huge sigh of relief. "I've really had enough! Why did you give up being a top actress to become some nobody? What were you thinking, Senior Sister?"
Even if she were a nobody, your senior sister could still sit firmly on the throne of the entertainment industry.
Su Xi smiled confidently. "Doesn't the fact that I'm standing here prove everything?"
That's true, but Xu Lang still got used to her identity as Xinglan.
Xinglan had always appeared wearing a mask before, but now that she was appearing before him without any disguise, Xu Lang could only imagine that she was married to Zhou Jingming, that playboy, whenever he saw her beautiful face. He couldn't help but feel...
My senior sister is a beautiful flower, but she's been taken by a mudfish.
"Then when can I openly call you senior sister?" Xu Lang scratched his head.
Just as Su Xi was about to speak, Xiao Mei called, asking when she would arrive, as filming for the show was about to begin.
"It depends on my mood!"
Ignoring Xu Lang, Su Xi quickly walked towards the filming location.
This program mainly interviews everyone about their opinions on the characters, and also promotes their movies.
As the female lead and a newcomer actress, Su Xi undoubtedly became the biggest highlight of the entire interview.
The hosts all focused their attention on Su Xi.
Faced with a barrage of questions, Su Xi answered them all fluently, earning everyone's respect for her.
"I didn't expect Su Xi to be so humorous. She's quite different from her character in the drama. Is this how you and Zhou Shao interact in real life?"
As they chatted, the conversation turned to Zhou Jingming, and the host boldly inquired about Su Xi's love life.
Su Xi looked up at the audience seats, where Zhou Jingming was sitting in the middle of the first row, arms crossed, looking at her.
The moment their eyes met, the man even winked at her.
Although it was an unintentional little gesture, it was still clearly caught by the host. "It seems that Zhou Shao and Su Xi have a very good relationship. They interacted non-stop on and off the stage. In order not to miss his wife's show, our Zhou Shao even showed up in person to support Su Xi. It's so enviable how he dotes on her."
“We can testify to this. When Su Xi is acting, Young Master Zhou comes to visit the set every few days.”
"Yes, we are all fortunate to receive the loving meals that Young Master Zhou sends us, thanks to Su Xi."
"Young Master Zhou dotes on Su Xi. Every day, he makes sure to have a large bouquet of red roses. It's so romantic and spoiling."
Everyone envied Su Xi and spoke well of her and Zhou Jingming.
Su Xi listened, and her mind became chaotic again.
Everyone could see that Zhou Jingming treated her well.
She also knew that Zhou Jingming was a gentle man.
Pampering and liking are two different things.
To this day, she still doesn't know what Zhou Jingming's true feelings are for her.
"How about we invite Young Master Zhou up for an interview?" The host, not waiting for Su Xi's response, set his sights on Zhou Jingming.
Interviews are inherently improvisational programs, and inserting a small game during the interview can help liven up the atmosphere.
Zhou Jingming actually agreed, stood up from his seat, straightened his suit, and strode onto the stage.
In full view of everyone, he domineeringly embraced Su Xi's slender waist, showing off their affection in a high-profile manner.
This move drew screams from the entire audience.
"Give me a kiss."
"Give me a kiss."
"Give me a kiss."
...
Zhou Jingming never disappoints. He grabbed Su Xi's chin and lowered his handsome face towards her.
"Young Master Zhou is awesome!"
The actors in the film crew cheered loudly.
The host, also fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), smiled and pointed the microphone at Zhou Jingming, boldly saying, "Everyone says that Young Master Zhou is a playboy, but today I see that he is not what the outside world says. He is not a playboy in the Beijing circle at all, but clearly a doting husband."
"It's all just outsiders spreading rumors. Young Master Zhou is really good to our Sister Xi." Xiao Mei didn't agree with the host's words. Although she hadn't known Zhou Jingming for long, she found that he wasn't like what people said.
She had never been in a relationship before, but she could tell that Zhou Jingming liked Su Xi.
Director Zhu also mentioned, "Xiao Mei is right, Young Master Zhou is a devoted man."
"Of course you have to spoil your own wife, right?"
The atmosphere was electric when Zhou Jingming suddenly said something that caused the show's ratings to skyrocket.
This interview was broadcast live, not only on the huge LED screens on the walls of major shopping malls, but also on televisions in public places.
Viewers who saw the interaction between Su Xi and Zhou Jingming exclaimed that the two were a perfect match.
However, some critics also claimed it was a publicity stunt to promote the movie "Lie Ruge".
After the interview, the next segment was an interactive session. The original plan was for the female lead and the male lead to be paired up and interact, but because of Zhou Jingming's appearance, the male lead was changed to Zhou Jingming.
As for the male lead in the play, he is directly paired with Xiao Mei.
A test of teamwork was held on site.
The audience cheered loudly because of Zhou Jingming's participation.
Everyone wants to see just how well this couple understands each other.
The host began by asking, "When was your first time?"
This question is too simple. Everyone in the audience knows that it was at a business event a few months ago that Su Xi forced Zhou Jingming to sleep.
Su Xi and Zhou Jingming naturally gave the same answer.
This section is passed.
The host then asked, "When exactly did you have your first kiss?"
Su Xi blurted out, "That night of my first time."
"On the night of February 16th, it was raining heavily."
Zhou Jingming looked into Su Xi's eyes and spoke meaningfully.
The audience was all recalling the timing of that commercial event, and some even tried to find it by searching for trending topics.
Some people said, "It's not autumn yet, the weather is still hot and dry, it can't possibly be February."
When one person speaks, many others respond.
"Yes, the business banquet was three months ago, in April."
"Young Master Zhou messed up on this question. He even got the date of their first kiss mixed up. Young Master Zhou, you probably don't love Su Xi as much as you think."
"Oh dear, you actually believed it was just an act?"
"Who is Young Master Zhou? He's a playboy in Beijing's elite circles. How could he possibly turn over a new leaf for a woman like Su Xi?"
"Yes, yes, it's all an illusion, it's necessary for the show."
...
Immediately, everyone was discussing it.
Su Xi was also stunned and stood there.
How could Zhou Jingming forget the date of his first kiss? It was clearly the night they had sex.
It seems he really was just putting on an act, putting on a show for the audience.
All the kindness and pampering shown to her were just an illusion.
But why does my heart ache so much?
Would you feel sad?
Zhou Jingming frowned when he saw her eyes were red.
He wasn't wrong. Their first kiss was on the night of February 16th, ten years ago. It was a stormy night, and Su Xi was being punished by Li Xuemei to kneel before Su Rou's longevity tablet to repent.
She was afraid of thunder and the dark since she was a child, and she lacked a sense of security. When he was young, he secretly climbed in through the window to keep her company, but he saw her curled up helplessly under the table and asleep because of fear.
Young Zhou Jingming was heartbroken and carried her out of the room, only to find that she had caught a cold and was running a high fever, constantly complaining of feeling cold.
He took off his coat and hugged her, staying by her side until late at night, until her fever subsided before leaving.
Before leaving, he secretly kissed her.
She was still asleep and didn't notice, which became a secret he couldn't tell anyone.
Seeing her sad expression, Zhou Jingming couldn't help but step forward and take her hand. "I'm sorry, I..."
