Outside the restaurant, many foreigners were stopping to watch, and some domestic tourists were taking pictures with their mobile phones through the glass.

A variety show is being filmed here. Sitting at the table in the middle are all domestic celebrities who are eating and chatting.

Finally, after finishing a segment, the director announced that they would take a break before continuing. A staff member came over with lunch boxes and handed them to the photographers. They squatted beside them and started eating.

The seven or eight people sitting at the middle table also looked relaxed, some chatting, some eating, and some putting on makeup.

"Jinxuan, what are you doing?" One of the older female artists asked Bai Jinxuan who was sitting next to her, "I see you've been working on it for a whole day. It's just adding a friend, why is it so laborious?"

Bai Jinxuan turned the phone screen around and said, "Sister Hu, why are you peeking at other people's phones?"

Sister Hu said with a smile, "How could I have peeked? You were the one who moved the screen towards me. I didn't mean to peek."

At this time, another man in his thirties interrupted, "Sister Hu, you don't usually go online. Didn't you know about the news that Jinxuan confessed her love to a man a while ago?"

Sister Hu said, "Of course I know. I'm not an internet novice. But what does this have to do with it?"

The man explained, "It's like this. Jinxuan left a QQ number on Weibo, hoping to find someone. Now many people have added her QQ and sent her many verification messages. She needs to verify them one by one."

Sister Hu suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. Wouldn't it have been better if we had made it clear earlier?"

Then, she asked curiously, "Jinxuan, is this true or just hype? You can ask me this, but if it's inconvenient to say, forget it."

The others all looked over, obviously curious about this matter.

"It's true." Bai Jinxuan's eyes never left the phone, and his fingers kept tapping the screen.

“Isn’t it hype?”

Bai Jinxuan said, "I won't use this method to hype myself up. It won't do any good for an idol like me."

"So the rumor that you were under house arrest is also true?"

Bai Jinxuan finally took his eyes off the phone, looked at her, and said, "That's fake. I don't know who spread the rumor. Our company is ready to send a lawyer's letter to sue those slanderers."

Sister Hu said, "I support you. Some people on the Internet are going too far. We need to teach them a lesson. Give them a shock."

"Thank you, Sister Hu."

Bai Jinxuan continued to look at the messages on her phone. From last night till now, she had no idea how many verification messages she had seen. Except when she was taking pictures, she was not allowed to look at her phone. The rest of the time, she was looking at these messages, and her eyes were dizzy.

Sometimes, after the verification message pops up, it takes her several seconds to decipher what is written on it.

In the past, she hoped that she would have as many fans as possible, as that would mean she would be more successful.

Now, she wished she had as few fans as possible, so that there wouldn't be so many people adding her on QQ. She wasn't even sure if she would reject the verification message sent by Chen Xu.

After rejecting another one, she clicked on the next one, glanced at it, and subconsciously clicked reject.

Suddenly, she reacted, her hand stopped abruptly, she shuddered, and almost dropped the phone.

Her heart was pounding, her ears were buzzing, and the words seemed very strange at this moment.

She calmed herself down, looked carefully, and finally recognized it.

I only saw three answers above: Sunrise Supermarket, Yaoyao, and I don’t know either.

For a moment, her heart was filled with a huge sense of happiness. With trembling hands, she confirmed again and again and clicked to agree to the friend's request.

Then, she opened her friend list and looked at the new contact. All the fear, worry, suspicion and grievance she had accumulated over the past few days suddenly burst out. She lay on the table and burst into tears.

Everyone else was shocked. Sister Hu patted her on the back and said, "What's wrong, kid? She was fine just now, but suddenly she started crying like this."

The other people looked at each other, all with confusion on their faces.

At this time, Fang Fang and two assistants saw her like this, and hurried over to negotiate with the director, and took Bai Jinxuan back to the hotel first.

Sister Hu and a few others were left there, talking about the matter.

The man who spoke earlier said, "I guess it must be related to the man in the rumors."

"No, no, some things can't be acted out." Sister Hu shook her head. She is a veteran actor and can tell the difference.

The man said, "Besides, there's no need for her to act like this in front of us. It's not on camera."

A girl who had not spoken said, "What kind of man could make her so obsessed? I think she is almost desperate."

"I don't think it's someone in the industry, otherwise there would be no need to find him in this way."

"Maybe they knew each other before she became famous. A celebrity and an ordinary person in love, wow, so romantic."

"It's great to be young." Sister Hu sighed.

After a while, the director announced that the filming would continue, even if one person was missing. It was just that Bai Jinxuan's role would be less in the later stage, but it would not affect the filming.

…………

After returning to the hotel, Bai Jinxuan calmed down a little. He sat in a chair, holding his mobile phone, took a deep breath, and prepared to send a message to his friend nicknamed Xu. His finger hovered over the screen for a long time without moving.

"What time is it in China now?" she suddenly asked Fang Fang outside the door.

Fang Fang thought for a moment and said, "Probably around 11 o'clock at night."

She hesitated, "He might have already fallen asleep at this time, let's wait until tomorrow."

In fact, she was more worried that Chen Xu was with his girlfriend at the moment. If he sent a message and his girlfriend saw it, it would be over.

Ding Dong.

Just as she was about to put her phone away, she heard a notification tone. Her heart skipped a beat. She picked up her phone and saw a message from Xu, "Jinxuan, you are so stupid."

Her tears welled up again. It was him, it was indeed him.

"Jinxuan——" Fang Fang next to her looked at her worriedly.

She wiped her eyes with her palms and said, "I'm fine, I'm just, just so happy."

…………

In China, in a rented apartment, Chen Xu sat on a chair with his cell phone on the table, on which was the QQ chat page.

He had just finished drinking with Chen Chao and returned to his rental apartment. He was about to take his clothes to take a shower when he opened QQ on his mobile phone out of habit. He saw that he had successfully added Bai Jinxuan as a friend.

His dizzy mind suddenly cleared up. He sat on the chair and waited for a long time. She didn't send him a message, so he sent her one.

After a while, she replied, "I thought I would never see you again."

"Wait for me." This is the second one.

This wait lasted for more than ten minutes.

Originally, he thought that after contacting Bai Jinxuan, he would be hesitant and nervous. Unexpectedly, he was sitting in the chair, but his mood was unusually calm.

Then, his phone rang, it was a video call invitation. Facing the closed computer screen, he combed his messy hair, wiped the sweat off his face with a tissue, and answered the video call.

The picture paused and her face appeared. It was not particularly clear, but it was still possible to see that her eyes were a little red and swollen.

"You've lost weight." He had a mixture of emotions in his heart, which converged into this sentence.

In the video, Bai Jinxuan's eyes welled up with big tears, which slid down her cheeks. She frantically pulled out a tissue and wiped her tears while sobbing, "I...I just...put on...my makeup...and it's ruined again."

Chen Xu's nose was sore, and he said softly, "It's okay, it's not like I haven't seen you without makeup before."

Bai Jinxuan in the video broke down in tears again, "Chen Xu, I...I miss you so much."
