Luo Jiu originally thought that even if she was recognized, it wouldn't cause any trouble, as long as Shen Jinchen wasn't exposed.
However, she underestimated her popularity.
Just half an hour later, the hashtag #LuoJiu'sRelationship# was pushed to the top of Weibo's trending topics by enthusiastic netizens.
[What?! The stunningly beautiful girl I just discovered is already taken?! ]
[Sure enough, all the beautiful women belong to other people, and I have nothing.]
[She has no work to show for it, all she thinks about is dating. She has absolutely no ambition. I'm no longer a fan, I'm outta here...]
[Don't let this lead you astray, everyone. What if this is actually Luo Jiu's good friend?]
[Good friend, are you holding hands?]
[Please, official statement, come out and clarify! I don't believe my goddess has been snatched away by that jerk.]
[But upstairs, take a closer look at this video. While it's frustrating that my goddess was stolen, I really could do the same with this guy.]
The video of Luo Jiu being dragged along by Shen Jinchen was edited and posted online. The man was tall and slender, and ran with incredible speed. Even though his face was not visible, it did not stop netizens from fantasizing about his body.
On the contrary, Luo Jiu, who was originally over 1.6 meters tall, looked like a little bean in front of the man. When she ran, it was as if she was being carried.
[You know what, that figure is really good!]
[Sure enough, good-looking people only become "friends" with other good-looking people!]
The video received over 10,000 likes within minutes, and by the time Luo Jiu found out and clicked to watch it, it had already surpassed 100,000 likes.
"Luo Jiu, I'm not trying to be mean, but as an artist, you don't even know how to disguise yourself properly when you go out. You got recognized by fans like this. Don't you have any brains?"
Liu Zhen's voice came from the other end of the phone. Even the usually calm Liu Zhen couldn't help but want to curse. She had thought Luo Jiu had changed, but it turned out she was still as brainless as ever!
Luo Jiu was stunned by the scolding. Remembering that Shen Jinchen was still sitting next to her, she gestured for herself to go to the balcony to receive him.
"Tell me, who is this jerk? He hasn't even had a couple of works to his name and he's already thinking about dating. I think you're trying to drive me crazy so you can quit the entertainment industry!"
"Bring that bastard out here! I want to see how he managed to eat up the bok choy I worked so hard to grow!" I'll kill him!
Women are indeed most irrational when they are in a fit of rage, and even the usually calm Liu Zhen was not immune.
One of the reasons she resigned was because Star Entertainment Media was simply too outrageous, treating all its actors as commodities and squeezing out every last bit of profit from them. Liu Zhen couldn't agree with such behavior.
Another reason was Luo Jiu. Because Luo Jiu gave her hope; the changed Luo Jiu was like a pearl that had been covered in dust for a long time, shining brightly again.
Liu Zhen believes that she will definitely be a shining star in the future and will win the highest award. She will definitely have a place in the entertainment industry in the future.
Now, all her bets have been targeted. She's invested so much, only to have someone inexplicably take a bite out of her. How could she not be furious?
"Ahem, Sister Zhenzhen, calm down."
Liu Zhen's voice was almost bursting through the phone. Luo Jiu drew back the curtains and cautiously glanced at Shen Jinchen inside the room, then whispered:
"Sister Zhenzhen, you have to believe me, there's nothing between me and that person in the video. It's all a misunderstanding!"
"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding that you're protecting him like this? Luo Jiu, are you trying to drive me crazy?"
Liu Zhen became increasingly angry as she spoke, and she almost wanted to rush up to Luo Jiu and beat her up.
"That man is Chen Jinchen."
Luo Jiu had no choice but to tell the whole story. Then, the other side fell into a deathly silence.
"Sinking into dust?"
Liu Zhen was still in shock and didn't react.
"Um."
How did you end up with him?
As Liu Zhen gradually calmed down, her mind was in a complete mess. Rumors outside suggested that Shen Jinchen was peaceful, approachable, gentle, and refined, but heaven knew how difficult he was to get close to.
His approachable manner is a product of his upbringing, not a reflection of his true character.
"They were in the same film crew and happened to be neighbors."
Liu Zhen: "...Wait for me, I'll come find you right away."
Now that Liu Zhen is coming over, I definitely can't stay at Shen Jinchen's house any longer.
Luo Jiu came out and saw Shen Jinchen still busy in the kitchen. The aroma of food filled the entire house. She gently knocked on the kitchen door twice.
"It smells so good... but I can't eat it."
"My agent is coming to see me, sorry, I have to go back."
Luo Jiu's face showed regret. It was all because she had a pig's brain; otherwise, the delicious food that was about to be eaten would have flown away.
After Luo Jiu left, Shen Jinchen brought all the prepared dishes to the table.
Looking at the delicious food in front of him, Shen Jinchen's eyes darkened slightly, but a smile still crept onto his lips as usual.
"Wait a little longer."
A deep, husky voice escaped his lips, as if he were whispering to someone, incredibly gentle, yet somewhat eerie.
Half an hour later, Liu Zhen posted a statement on her Weibo account.
[Statement: All news reports today regarding our actress Luo Jiu's romantic relationship are false. Please do not spread rumors or maliciously slander us. We reserve the right to pursue legal action against any such individuals.]
Subsequently, Luo Jiu reposted this statement on her Weibo account.
Some believed it, and some didn't. After working through most of the night, this little commotion was finally brought under control.
This is the downside of not having a company: without a proper public relations system, you have to do everything yourself.
After a short break, Luo Jiu resumed filming "The Sorrow of White Bones".
Yuqiu was assigned to be Ling Shuang's personal maid because he was the one who had witnessed Ling Shuang's illness.
During another border patrol, Ling Shuang was attacked by an unknown gas. In a moment of carelessness, the cold poison entered her body. It flares up every three years, and only by locking herself in with millennium-old black iron can she resist it and preserve her mind.
By sheer chance, Yu Qiu witnessed Ling Shuang's poison taking effect.
After those few days, Ling Shuang returned to his former cold, noble, and unapproachable Elf King, but he had a rather unusual interest in badminton.
The simple-minded Yu Qiu gradually magnified this tiny difference, until it transformed into love. Over hundreds of years of companionship, this love grew day by day, becoming an obsession, until it became uncontrollable.
Luo Jiu was filming a short story called "Return Search" from the script of "The Sorrow of White Bones". The most conflicting part of this scene is when Luo Jiu exchanges her wings with the sorceress in an attempt to win the Elf King's heart.
But in the end, the sorceress betrayed him and killed Luo Jiu.
"The Search for Return, Chapter Ten, First Action."
