"Anyway, you just need to know that Qianshan is very famous!" Cen Yu concluded.
“…Qianshan?” Yu Xinyu couldn’t help but repeat Cen Yu’s address to Sang Qianshan. He held his phone, and when he faced Sang Qianshan, he still had a smile on his face.
"I'm really looking forward to this variety show," Yu Xinyu said with a smile. "I'll watch it with Xiaoyu."
Haha, you'll not only watch, you'll also act in it yourself.
Cen Yu thought about it, and couldn't stand seeing several people standing at the door as punishment, so she said, "Go get some drinks."
He deliberately ordered, "Why aren't you more alert? Didn't you see the guests have arrived? You're making a fool of yourself!"
Yu Xinyu's expression remained unchanged. He glanced at Sang Qianshan and asked, "Mr. Sang, do you have any dietary restrictions?"
"No, just give me bottled water," Sang Qianshan said.
After Yu Xinyu left, Sang Qianshan frowned and looked at Cen Yu, "How do you know him?"
When Cen Yu saw Sang Qianshan frowning at him, he knew that things were going well.
The other party probably didn't expect Cen Yu to be so unreasonable and scold his partner, showing a strong sense of male chauvinism and wanting to tell the whole world about him.
It's important to know that Sang Qianshan in the original novel values his privacy highly, so he's annoyed not only by paparazzi but also by people who take advantage of knowing him to spread his private information and personal hobbies everywhere to generate traffic.
Although Cen Yu hasn't done this yet, the conversation just now revealed something intentionally or unintentionally: he often brags to his girlfriend about knowing the big star Sang Qianshan!
Hmph! Not happy now, huh?
While thinking to himself, Cen Yu vaguely replied, "...we just met suddenly."
His poor performance naturally aroused Sang Qianshan's suspicion.
Cen Yu was waiting for Sang Qianshan to ask about his meeting with Yu Xinyu, but he didn't expect Yu Xinyu to be so quick this time. Before Sang Qianshan could even ask, Yu Xinyu came to the two of them with a bottle of mineral water.
He stood close to Cen Yu, then pulled Cen Yu to sit down on the sofa.
Sang Qianshan, on the other side, could only sit on the remaining single sofa.
“We met because Xiao Yu saved me.” Yu Xinyu looked at Cen Yu with admiration. “I was being bullied, but I didn’t expect Cen Yu to defeat those people.” He then rested his head on Cen Yu’s shoulder. “He’s like a great hero.”
"..." Are you trying to be awkward?
Cen Yu wished he could shake off the goosebumps on his body, but on the surface he still laughed and put his arm around Yu Xinyu, "Yes, I suddenly saved him."
Sang Qianshan looked at the two people in front of him with the same expression he would give a couple showing affection in public. "Didn't you call the police?" he asked Cen Yu.
Upon hearing this, Yu Xinyu looked at Sang Qianshan and said, "Those people ran too fast and didn't have time."
"Isn't there surveillance footage?"
Yu Xinyu laughed again, "I was too scared at the time and forgot."
Sang Qianshan squinted at Yu Xinyu, feeling that something was off about him, whether it was his hostility or that clichéd hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress act—he remembered that Cen Yu had been quite conspicuous back in college.
Not only was he a renowned workaholic at school, but he was also incredibly accommodating, able to fulfill any request.
At that time, there were many posts on the school's online forum expressing love for him.
It's estimated that Cen Yu has no idea...
Sang Qianshan looked at Yu Xinyu, and Yu Xinyu did not avoid his gaze, looking back at Sang Qianshan with a smile.
Cen Yu's gaze lingered between the two of them—
Looks like these two are about to get together!
He silently clenched his fist, then interrupted their eye contact, "What are you looking at?"
"It's nothing." Sang Qianshan then looked away. His expression softened considerably when he was facing Cen Yu. It was almost an unconscious action. Cen Yu was unaware of it, but Yu Xinyu could see it clearly.
He clenched his fists in anger, wishing he could smash Sang Qianshan's face to pieces right now.
“Actually, I came to talk to you about something…” Sang Qianshan’s gaze fell on Yu Xinyu, as if to say that it was inconvenient to have outsiders present.
Cen Yu didn't remember that the original plot mentioned what Sang Qianshan could have wanted to talk to her about, but when she saw that Sang Qianshan's gaze fell on Yu Xinyu, she immediately understood that it was probably something that was not convenient for him to hear.
He looked at Yu Xinyu, who was staring at the two of them with a pitiful expression, and originally wanted to let him go back to his bedroom by himself...
But he coughed once in the end.
"Never mind, let's talk in my room." He said, standing up to take Sang Qianshan to his bedroom.
When Yu Xinyu heard the words "go to my room," she felt like she wanted to grind her teeth to dust.
Without a moment's hesitation, he stood up and said to Cen Yu—
"You two are planning to talk about something, right?" He winked at Cen Yu. "Then I won't disturb you. I'll go back to my room first, and we can eat together after you've finished talking."
He specifically emphasized the meal, implying that Sang Qianshan, this big third wheel, had arrived at a particularly inopportune time.
After being reminded by the other party, Cen Yu realized that the food in the restaurant had already been prepared... He wanted to let the two main characters spend more time together, so he said, "Okay, then you go back to your room first."
...
Sang Qianshan watched as Yu Xinyu walked back to her bedroom.
He carefully examined both doors and then asked, "Don't you live together?"
Dude, you really know how to bring up the most sensitive topics.
Cen Yu chuckled inwardly. In these kinds of cult novels, with the protagonist possessing such a pure and innocent body, how could a shameless cannon fodder like himself possibly covet it?!
So before the real guy appears, they must have been sleeping separately.
Seeing this, Cen Yu hinted, "Xiao Yu doesn't sleep very well, so we always sleep in separate rooms."
Don't worry, brother, I absolutely didn't do anything.
Sang Qianshan didn't say anything upon hearing this, he just nodded, opened the bottle of mineral water that Yu Xinyu had just handed him, and took a sip—
The concentrated salt water almost killed him!
He coughed, but still swallowed the salt water.
"What's wrong?" Cen Yu looked at Sang Qianshan in surprise.
Sang Qianshan wiped the water from the corner of his mouth. "It's nothing." He didn't plan to "complain" to Cen Yu, otherwise, given how well that person pretended to be innocent, he could definitely find 100 excuses to make Cen Yu believe that he was really innocent and it was an accident.
Sang Qianshan put the opened bottle of mineral water aside.
Then they got straight to the point—
"You should know about the variety show I recently participated in that invites ordinary friends."
“…I know.” Cen Yu suddenly had a bad feeling.
He looked at Sang Qianshan with a calm expression, but then suddenly dropped a bombshell—
“My agent asked me who I wanted as my partner.” Sang Qianshan looked at Cen Yu. If he hadn’t planned to do this before, he immediately changed his mind after arriving at Cen Yu’s house, because he felt that his friendship with Cen Yu was fading.
Why not take this opportunity to strengthen our friendship once again?
He spoke under Cen Yu's almost horrified gaze, "If possible, I would like to invite you to participate in this variety show."
