Even He Ci felt something was very wrong the moment he heard Cen Yu speak.
He almost wanted to ask Cen Yu—
Aren't you afraid Xie Jinshen will hear you?
But reason told him that Cen Yu wouldn't say such an absolutely scumbag thing if Xie Jinshen heard it... But if he knew that Cen Yu was deliberately saying it for Xie Jinshen to hear, he probably would have already decided to smash the glass and jump off Yunxing's building.
Knowing that Cen Yu could comfort Xie Jinshen, He Ci felt a little relieved.
After reminding the other party not to reveal any flaws, he decided to prepare a public relations strategy.
...
Cen Yu hung up the phone.
"How is it?" he asked the system in his mind, "What are Xie Jinshen's current stats?"
The system immediately and cooperatively brought up Xie Jinshen's interface, then looked at Cen Yu with admiration, [Congratulations, host, he seems to be about to go crazy with anger.]
Cen Yu knew that what truly provoked Xie Jinshen was not his own attitude, but the fact that Xie Jinshen wanted to break up—even as a hypothetical scenario, Xie Jinshen couldn't bear it.
However, before Xie Jinshen truly goes insane, a drastic measure is needed...
While I was thinking, another phone call came in.
Cen Yu glanced at it and found that it was actually Jiang Jueming—he didn't know why this person would suddenly call him.
He felt a little strange, but he still answered the phone.
"You and Xie Jinshen haven't broken up?" Jiang Jueming didn't mince words this time. "You're so capable, yet you can't even appease him?"
Perhaps because he was furious, Jiang Jueming's tone was a little strange at this moment.
If Cen Yu had to describe it, it would be a hint of inexplicable jealousy... Cen Yu assumed Jiang Jueming was worried that his presence would affect the group's development. He pretended not to know that Jiang Jueming had overheard his conversation with Xie Jinshen on the night of the group's formation, and deliberately feigned surprise—
"I broke up with Xie Jinshen?"
"We're just friends."
Cen Yu simply switched the phone to speakerphone again, saying, "I don't understand what you're talking about."
Jiang Jueming seemed surprised that Cen Yu was still denying it at this moment...
“I heard what you were saying backstage.”
Jiang Jueming spoke directly.
"Tell Xie Jinshen to keep this a secret and not to tell anyone about it."
"...Didn't you ever think about what would happen if you were found out?!" Jiang Jueming said, "You shouldn't have participated in the talent show in the first place. If you had Xie Jinshen vote for you, he would have been found out sooner or later."
What Jiang Jueming said is true.
After all, among Cen Yu's fans, only Xie Jinshen has put in such a lot of effort and invested such a large amount in voting.
No one would have thought of something so outrageous before, but once Xie Jinshen is suspected... the secret of the other party's account will naturally be lost.
Cen Yu felt very sorry for Jiang Jueming, but that's how the novel's plot unfolded.
Cen Yu insisted on participating in the talent show and asked Xie Jinshen to vote for him. This was a pre-arranged plot. Even though things changed after he came to this world, the plot returned to its original course after the fluctuations.
Cen Yu decided to give Xie Jinshen another strong dose of medicine.
He silently thanked Jiang Jueming for his cooperation, but the words he uttered were so heartless, full of the scumbag's undertones—
"But if I don't become a celebrity... how can I leave Xie Jinshen?"
Jiang Jueming seemed surprised to hear Cen Yu's statement.
The person on the other end of the phone was stunned.
Cen Yu looked at himself in the mirror and finally said the words that would drive Xie Jinshen completely mad.
"When I have money, I want to leave here, leave Xie Jinshen's side, and start over in another place."
...
The next day during filming, Xie Jinshen acted as usual, as if he hadn't heard what Cen Yu had said the day before.
But the system kept prompting in my head—
[Host, be careful, Xie Jinshen is about to go crazy.]
Cen Yu pretended not to know and continued filming until their part for the day was finished. Then Xie Jinshen suddenly asked, "Where are you planning to go after filming wraps up, Xiao Yu?" He thought for a moment and said, "Do the places we mentioned before still count?"
He was referring to the place they decided to go on vacation before Cen Yu participated in the talent show.
However, as Cen Yu participated in the talent show and started working, the original plan was naturally scrapped.
Cen Yu pretended not to understand and started planning his next steps, counting on his fingers: "A new album and a farewell concert?"
He looked at Xie Jinshen, "And the movie's promotion."
"It also depends on what kind of work He Ci assigns..."
Xie Jinshen nodded, seemingly unperturbed by Cen Yu's broken promise, just as he had done countless times before.
After a short break, filming resumed, with Xie Jinshen standing in place, holding Cen Yu's clothes.
He looked at Cen Yu through Gu Hanyin's lens and suddenly said, "I've thought about what you said that day for a long time."
Gu Hanyin didn't realize at first that Xie Jinshen was talking to him, but after filming the scene, when Xie Jinshen didn't move closer to Cen Yu but continued to stand near him, he realized that the words were meant for him.
Gu Hanyin sat there thinking for a moment, and finally remembered what Xie Jinshen had said.
"So... you're telling me all this now because you've figured it out?"
He said that some things depend on Xie Jinshen's single thought.
Grandpa Xie Jinshen's tacit acceptance of this was not unexpected—ultimately, the other party simply did not believe that Xie Jinshen and Cen Yu could last.
Or perhaps the Xie family understands Xie Jinshen better.
I know that once this person gets serious, they always give off a suffocating feeling, almost like they're about to drag you into an abyss.
