Chapter 185: Seeing Beauty Under the Light

Hearing Zhang Querong's call, Chen Boyang, who was standing at the door, also waved his hand, calmed himself down, smiled naturally, and then walked over with his hands and feet together.

"Here, here!" Zhang Querong blinked desperately to indicate that he should sit in the seat to the left of Su Yun.

Su Yun and the Mei sisters watched the two's tricks leisurely without saying anything, and let Chen Boyang sit down in this seat.

However, it was not until he sat down beside her with a slightly shy look that Su Yun could see the color of his suit jacket clearly. In fact, it was a navy blue color that could easily be mistaken for black in insufficient light.

Today, Su Yun wore a custom-made dark blue dress with tiny rhinestones. Wearing branded goods on such occasions would easily cause her to wear the same clothes as those who donated money. Su Yun herself opened a clothing factory in cooperation with the Wang family, and she was not obsessed with branded clothes, so she was not a VIP customer. It would take a long time to find a designer to customize a dress. Therefore, like most artists who were short of money, she chose to find a tailor to make a unique style.

Nowadays, most of the old-fashioned tailor shops have either been shut down by machine factories or transformed into custom-made clothing workshops. There are many artists in the entertainment industry who don’t have enough money, so they can receive these orders from time to time, which is basically enough to maintain normal sales.

This old-fashioned entertainment circle practice also gave Zhang Querong an opportunity to get information: although he did not have a good relationship with his father, who was known as the King of Western-style Clothes, he could still say a few words to his brothers and sisters and the employees in the store.

Taking advantage of the fact that his father was a king of Western-style clothes and had a high reputation in the circle, Zhang Querong managed to find out the style of the dress that Su Yun wanted to make, and then hurriedly reported it to Chen Boyang, asking him to make preparations privately.

Look, the navy blue suit that Chen Baiyang is wearing and the diamond brooch on his chest pocket are the products that these two young men put together after shopping in all the shopping malls in Yau Tsim Mong for an entire afternoon.

"Wow, you two really match each other well tonight, just like a couple. You two are so in sync with each other!" Zhang Querong's acting skills are the best among his peers. As soon as Chen Boyang sat down, he mentioned this casually.

Not sure if this was the result of Chen and Zhang spending so much time and effort to create this look, the Mei sisters also looked at Su Yun and Chen Boyang's outfits and were actually a little surprised: "They really match well together."

"Stop laughing at me..." Chen Boyang lowered his head embarrassedly.

Su Yun glanced at Chen and Zhang with a half-smile, although she felt that she had noticed something.

However, considering the current situation and occasion, it is obviously not appropriate to say it directly.

Anyway, whether the scandal spreads or not, it won't have much impact on her, so there's no point in doing something that would make everyone unhappy - and besides, being courted by a young, handsome and talented guy makes people feel pretty good.

So Su Yun turned her gaze back to the stage: there was a show where a certain lady was leading Luo Ji to sing a duet.

This lady was obviously the contestant who didn’t even have the KTV skills mentioned above. In order not to be too rude, she chose to lip-sync and broadcast the refined recording. Su Yun could tell that it was lip-syncing because this lady was probably too excited to see her favorite star. She only cared about watching Luo Ji. When Luo Ji finished singing the male part, she raised the microphone a little slowly, and the female voice sang out while the microphone was still at her waist...

However, as a celebrity wife who had experienced many ups and downs, after she came to her senses, she quickly raised the microphone and acted as if nothing had happened.

Most of the people in the audience and in front of the TV just laughed it off or pretended not to see it.

It has to be said that there is a huge difference in the impression given by lip-syncing for money and lip-syncing for money: the former is a wealthy man who spends money to entertain the public in order to fulfill his dream of chasing stars, while the latter is a black-hearted "star" who is unworthy of his position and uses means to cheat everyone of their hard-earned money.

Su Yun looked at the stage quietly, unaware that someone was looking at her quietly beside her.

Seeing that Chen Boyang looked like a stubborn person even without saying anything, the Mei sisters whispered a few words to each other and paid half of their attention to the good show next to them.

As for why they kept half of their attention on the stage, it was because they were also assigned a job to accompany a philanthropist in singing Nanyin: the two sisters often appeared in "Happy Tonight", which is one of the most popular evening programs in Hong Kong. They have earned a lot of audience favor during this period.

Unlike the excitement around him, while everyone was paying attention to the performances on the stage or the performances around him, Zhang Querong, who felt that he had done a good job in assisting, started chatting with Huang Zhan at the next table: "Hey, have you finished writing the lyrics for Luo Ji? When are you free to help me write some lyrics?"

"Speaking of this, I get really angry. You know, Fei Fei and Luo Ji formed a couple choir to go on tour before, and asked me for a lot of lyrics. I finally wrote most of them, and when I went to ask - hey, Fei Fei actually used her heavyweight body to 'click' Chu Liuxiang, and then 'flew' the Little Li Flying Dagger she had been working with." Huang Zhan was so angry when he said this, "Well, all the lyrics I worked so hard on are wasted!"

"Who told you to always procrastinate? Look at Zheng Sir, he usually has to teach, but he never delays submitting his manuscripts." Zhang Querong and Huang Zhan had a very good relationship, so he laughed unceremoniously on the spot: Huang Zhan was always passionate and used bold words, and the so-called "da" and "fei" meant "taste" and "dump", meaning that in order to date Zheng Zhaoqiu, who was famous for playing Chu Liuxiang, Shen Dingxia decisively dumped Luo Yun, with whom she used to work together in a couple choir.

However, Huang Zhan was just joking: Shen Dingxia and Luo Yun were not a real couple, but like him, the three of them were very good friends, and they had previously used the name of a couple choir just to facilitate cooperation.

What was unexpected was that the person Shen Dingxia officially announced her relationship with for the first time was Zheng Zhaoqiu, whom no one could have expected.

"But, Fat Sister has been a little bad-tempered recently, so you shouldn't talk too much in front of her!" Zhang Querong thought about it and then spoke a word to Huang Zhan, who was not restrained.

"I understand. Feifei really doesn't have much sense of security. Besides, she is very domineering and fierce to people she knows. I am afraid of her." Huang Zhan sighed.

After Su Yun saw the conversation between the two, she began to have some new opinions about this couple who were later the subject of fabricated stories by various marketing accounts.

Most of the half-understood rumors said that Zheng Zhaoqiu became famous because of his relationship with Shen Dingxia, which was a typical gender-reversed version of the new beauty and the big money sponsor. But according to the information Su Yun got from the TV station and various gossips she heard, in the original situation between the two, it was Shen Dingxia who looked down on Zheng Zhaoqiu first, thinking that he must be a playboy because he was so handsome and popular, and even kept his distance from him at first.

As a result, after more contact, I found that Zheng Zhaoqiu is not the cool and independent hero in the play, but just an indecisive "little man" who moves only when the beads on the abacus are moved. He usually likes to stay at home watching TV and practicing acting skills, and he doesn't even like to go out to play unless necessary.

Later it was said that Zheng Zhaoqiu was dumped by his girlfriend with a breakup letter, and the person who delivered the letter happened to be Shen Dingxia, who thought it was just an ordinary love letter between a boyfriend and a girlfriend, so he carelessly delivered the letter. After realizing that his good intentions had led to bad results, the loyal Shen Dingxia secretly made a decision and took on the task of taking care of Zheng Zhaoqiu and helping him get out of the grief of losing his love.

As a result, and with the fight between TBB and Li Ying a few years ago, Zheng Zhaoqiu, as a popular young actor, was pressured to act and rushed to the point of fainting and being admitted to the hospital, while Shen Dingxia took good care of him. This couple, who seemed so mismatched in the eyes of outsiders, started a relationship that no one was optimistic about.

But in fact, one has enough fame and fortune but lacks a confidant, and the other has a cheerful and generous personality. Maybe they have the mentality of taking advantage of the opportunity and surviving in an emergency, but after such a long time, even if the instantaneous heartbeat is no longer there, there is still a lot of affection that comes from the long-term flow of love.

However, these two people are also the typical traditional marriage practices of getting together because of a momentary impulse, not caring about the differences in personality, not knowing when to quit, and wanting to rely on marriage and children to rejuvenate their relationship. As the saying goes, it is easy to meet but difficult to live together. In addition to external factors, the subsequent divorce was also largely due to incompatibility of personality.

People always arbitrarily judge whether two people are truly in love based on appearance, but in fact, when you really get along with each other, character is far more important than appearance. And in this era, there are not so many conspiracy theories about the marriages of celebrities, except for those that are based on contracts. If they get along well, they stay together, and if they don't, they separate. The only difference is that the temptations faced in the circle are more than those faced by ordinary people.

Seeing the two chatting enthusiastically, and the show on the stage changed to a certain big shot who was equally bad but didn't mind being rude and insisted on singing live, Su Yun shifted her attention to the conversation between Zhang and Huang: "Actually, I don't think Qiu Guan is that kind of person. Fat Sister still underestimates herself too much. Fat girls are also very cute."

Although she is a comedian, Shen Dingxia is definitely not ugly. On the contrary, looking at the movie roles she has played, not only Su Yun, but many people also think that she has a special appeal that is beyond the shackles of appearance.

In the first episode of "The Great Cook" that Su Yun participated in recording, Zheng Zhaoqiu was very patient and gentle in secretly discussing with her to let her deal with it normally in the face of Shen Dingxia's favoritism. He even carefully remembered that Shen Dingxia liked to eat crabs the most, and specially picked the most difficult crabs to cook for her - although he overestimated his cooking skills and made a dark dish with good intentions...

If you think that only girls with beautiful looks and slim figures are worthy of being loved by handsome guys, then this is actually a wrong idea of ​​self-inferiority; people with good personalities and strong abilities have a unique charm that is difficult to describe.

Therefore, compared to those fabricated stories, Su Yun believes that these two people really did love each other - it's a pity that they did love each other when they were in love, and they really didn't love each other anymore when they didn't.

"I also think that girls who are a little fatter are cuter. It's a pity that people who are in love always feel inferior all the time." Zhang Querong glanced meaningfully at Chen Boyang who didn't dare to come closer.

"And Fei Fei's temper is indeed worse around people she knows. Although she is loyal and genuine, sometimes you still have to give people some face." Huang Zhan felt a little sighed when he recalled the time when everyone got together to play mahjong and Zheng Zhaoqiu didn't like it so he sat alone watching TV and practicing his acting skills, but ended up being scolded by Shen Dingxia in front of everyone for being a loner.

"Oh, I understand that, but some people just find it hard to control themselves." Su Yun nodded: there have been many examples of people who are extremely loyal to their friends but yell at their close family members, with such a huge contrast from ancient times to the present.

This kind of person is not a bad person. When they are nice to you, they almost want to give you their heart, making you so moved that you want to marry them. However, if they become overbearing or fierce, it can be very frustrating.

Perhaps they feel that they have a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and that they have done a lot but cannot get much credit for it, which makes them feel very aggrieved. However, they selectively forget one truth: when a sharp tongue attacks others, it also brings wounds to others.

The wounds will heal over time, but the scars will remain and become an ambush for the subsequent outbreak.

After sighing with Huang Zhan, Su Yun held her face with one hand and looked back at the stage, watching the performance of the Mei sisters with a smile on her face.

Zhang Querong was bored and retracted his body. As it was difficult for the camera to capture this part, he just leaned back in his chair without any image burden and listened to the Nanyin sung by the Mei sisters.

His eyes looked around and suddenly he saw Chen Baiyang who was still standing beside him, staring at his beloved quietly.

Subconsciously, I followed his gaze and saw Su Yun's profile illuminated by the colorful lights of the stage, creating a jade-like appearance like snow-covered frost.

The dark blue dress dotted with tiny rhinestones made her complexion even more charming.

It is not the cold white tone that is so miserable and almost bloodless as used by Westerners, but the warm white with warmth and vitality as used in ancient Chinese texts praising beauties. The warm white also has a healthy rosy complexion. Under the light of the stage, it looks like a carefully carved jade beauty. The sight of it makes one forget the world and feel at peace.

Su Yun is a new generation beauty who has become famous. Even the European and American markets, which have always suppressed the Chinese, recognize that Su Yun's beauty is rare in the world. He has always known this.

But because he met Su Yun when she was too young, his impression of Su Yun has always been that of a naughty kid... and a naughty kid who grew up.

Of course, one more thing was added later: the sweetheart of a good brother.

Until this moment.

The inexplicable throbbing in his heart told him a fact that he had been ignoring intentionally or unintentionally: the naughty child he once was had actually grown up into a gorgeous dream.
