Chapter 78 Recording Accident
It started snowing in the southern part of the city. When Fu Yanle set off to record a variety show, Yu Jingchen bundled him up completely. The polar bear-themed fleece suit covered him from head to toe, plus a pair of snow goggles, so the cold wind only reached Fu Yanle's nostrils.
When Fu Yanle slowly moved into the filming location, An Shigou thought a wild bear had suddenly appeared from some mountain.
"Wow, Fu Yanle! Are you planning not to show your face this time?" An Shigou walked up and circled around Fu Yanle twice, coveting the warm and stylish winter outfit, and couldn't help but feel a little disgusted with his own white down jacket.
Fu Yanle punched him in the waist and said, "Ha! Even without showing my face, I'm still the most eye-catching presence."
An Shigou sneered, grabbed Fu Yanle's arm and threw him with a move that would hurt the enemy eight hundred while injuring himself a thousand!
The two rolled around in the snow. Fu Yanle then switched from defense to offense, kicking An Shigou away and then pouncing on him, pinning him down and beginning to beat him.
"I am coming--"
Wearing a black down jacket, Tang Wanbai performed a standing long jump from three meters away, crashing down on the two of them. Fu Yanle nimbly flipped over An Shigou, watching helplessly as An Shigou, who had just struggled to lift half of his body, was once again pressed into the snow by Tang Wanbai.
"Ah—Ouch!"
An Shigou's screams did not awaken Fu Yanle's conscience. He lifted his leg and pressed down on Tang Wanbai's back, then rolled over onto Tang Wanbai. The three of them were now piled on top of each other.
The photographer in charge of shooting behind-the-scenes footage quickly aimed the camera and recorded the entire scene of the three humanoid Leolis wrestling.
Gu Jiming stood not far away, watching Fu Yanle and the other two playfully bickering, his heart filled with bitterness. If he were to shamelessly join them, wouldn't Fu Yanle immediately change his expression and turn away?
Lin Qingtong walked behind Gu Jiming and whispered, "Jiming, I—"
"Off-camera, Teacher Lin, you don't need to call me so affectionately," Gu Jiming said without turning his head. "I'm not familiar with you."
Although Lin Qingtong had expected this, he was still furious upon hearing it. He tried his best to suppress his accusatory tone and said sadly, "I know you harbor resentment towards me because of that incident, but Jiming, was our past all a lie? You used to like me so much, why can you treat me like a stranger so quickly?"
"Because I don't like you anymore," Gu Jiming said coldly. "You can't even understand such a simple word, can you?"
In the distance, Fu Yanle was being pushed into the snow by Tang Wanbai and An Shigou. Gu Jiming subconsciously took a step forward, then abruptly stopped. "It's just friends playing around, what right do you have to worry?" Gu Jiming gave a self-deprecating laugh.
Lin Qingtong clenched her fists upon seeing this. Gu Jiming's gaze towards Fu Yanle was too focused, but wasn't it him who was looked at like that before? Why, in less than half a year, could Su Fengyao go crazy for Fu Yanle, and why were Meng Xinqiu and Gu Jiming focusing all their attention on Fu Yanle, completely forgetting his existence!
Lin Qingtong was so angry he felt like going crazy. He looked at Gu Jiming's profile and said, "It's no use looking anymore. You haven't forgotten how you deceived and used him before, have you? You know Fu Yanle's temper. He will never forgive you, and you will never catch up with him."
Gu Jiming suddenly turned his head, glaring fiercely at him. "This is between him and me, it's none of your business! You should see your own situation clearly. Besides Fu Sheng and He Yi, do you have any other protectors right now? Oh—"
His brows relaxed, and he suddenly laughed, his tone extremely sarcastic, "He Yiqi and Meng Xinqiu have been friends for many years. Meng Xinqiu was able to persuade He Yiqi to support you back then, and now he can also make He Yiqi give you up. Besides, as a businessman, He Yiqi should know better than anyone else that you are practically a useless piece of trash now, aren't you?"
"..." Lin Qingtong was breathing rapidly, unable to refute a single word.
“And then there’s Fu Sheng. He likes your obedience. Fu Yanle was indeed useless before, but now Fu Yanle has come to his senses. Even if Fu Sheng is confused, he wouldn’t give up the legitimate heir for a child like you, would he?” Gu Jiming reached out and patted Lin Qingtong’s face. “Even if he had that thought, do you think he would dare? The Fu family is indeed a business tycoon, but they don’t have the foundation of the Lu family.”
The former Fu Yanle and the current Fu Yanle actually have the same identity and background. It's just that when he was confused, he could become a sharp weapon, but when he was clear-headed, he would never be used by others.
How could a pampered young master, who had been spoiled since childhood, possibly accept someone who had once looked down on and taken advantage of him?
The resentment and sorrow that flashed in Gu Jiming's eyes deeply stung Lin Qingtong. He loosened his throbbing fingers and suddenly said, "No matter how much you regret it, it's useless now. Fu Yanle has a boyfriend, and he—"
"What did you say?" Gu Jiming grabbed Lin Qingtong by the collar. "Say it again, you fucking idiot!"
The staff members not far away all looked over, and even Fu Yanle and the others, who were huddled together, subconsciously glanced in that direction.
"This distance?" An Shigou scratched his head.
Tang Wanbai said blankly, "It's either kissing or physical violence."
The next second, they saw Gu Jiming grab Lin Qingtong by the neck and forcefully throw her onto the snow.
An Shigou stared in disbelief, "Holy crap, they really started fighting!"
"Isn't this a one-sided beating?" Tang Wanbai reached out and tugged at Fu Yanle's hat. "Yanle, what's the best way for us to react?"
Fu Yanle thought for a moment and said, "I'll count to three, and we'll all faint together: 3, 2, 1—fall down."
The three of them died instantly on the snow!
"Hey, what's going on here!" The director and assistant director rushed over, surrounding Lin Qingtong and Gu Jiming, saying, "You two, this isn't a boxing show! If you get injuries on your faces, how are we going to film this episode?"
“That’s right, and the New Year is just around the corner. It’s good for you two to keep things peaceful and make money!” The assistant director chimed in, “If there’s any misunderstanding, we can talk it out. We can definitely resolve it. Why do we have to resort to violence?”
Lin Qingtong's cheeks turned bright red from being pinched, and tears streamed down her nose, making her look extremely pitiful.
In the past, Gu Jiming would have felt sorry for her, but now he wished he could travel back to the day he first met Lin Qingtong, then beat himself up, knock out a tooth, stick it to the headboard, and look at it every day and silently repeat to himself—Lin Huacha Lu, you've done this so many times, wake up!
Meng Xinqiu arrived late, just in time to witness this spectacle, and couldn't help but say, "It's alright if they fight, just use a couple more bottles of foundation."
"Three ancestors!" The director was on the verge of tears. He looked up and saw the three peaceful corpses not far away. He immediately roared, rushed over and knelt down next to Fu Yanle. He leaned down and whispered, "God of War, the time has come to unleash your power!"
"What does this have to do with me?" Fu Yanle revived and said in a low voice, "Besides, as you know, I don't get along well with these two people. It's already good enough that I didn't rush up to applaud and cheer them on."
The director was speechless. "I fucking know you're blessed with Buddha's light, a saint descended to earth, and the word 'kindness' was born just for you!"
"Hehe." Fu Yanle smiled reservedly. "Thank you for the compliment."
"..." The director wiped his face. "If they keep causing this trouble, none of us are going home today! We'll all just give up!"
He turned over, intending to become the fourth corpse, when he saw Fu Yanle immediately get up and stride aggressively toward the scene of the incident.
Fu Yanle walked over, pulled the photographer in front of the two of them, and quickly said, "Start a live stream right now, post it on the official Weibo account, and write in the title—Gu Jiming beats up Lin Qingtong. Damn it, the hype is practically delivered to our door, are you going to turn it away?"
After saying that, he glanced at the stiff Gu Jiming and Lin Qingtong, and said coldly, "Fight now, or you're all cowards!"
"..." Gu Jiming has always been known for his irritable and ruthless personality, and he wasn't afraid of being seen by netizens and fans at this moment, but he was willing to give Fu Yanle some face.
"I'll let you off this time, but if you provoke me again next time, I'll kill you." Gu Jiming released Lin Qingtong's collar, got up to look at Fu Yanle, only to see Fu Yanle turn and leave.
Having failed to win him over, Gu Jiming couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath, "Damn it!"
Seeing that he was still angry, the director quickly stepped forward and pulled him to walk ahead to prevent him from getting angry again. "Alright, alright, little darling, let's not be angry. Whatever it is, you can deal with it however you want after the show."
"You're really not pretending at all," Gu Jiming mocked.
Seeing this, the assistant director stepped forward and said to Lin Qingtong, "Let's go, Qingtong, we're about to start recording."
"..." Lin Qingtong smiled awkwardly, turned around and left with the assistant director.
"I'm so curious why they suddenly started fighting." Tang Wanbai sighed. "Watching the drama unfold is truly human nature."
An Shigou scoffed and said, "Eating melon in winter won't freeze you to death. Hurry up and leave!"
Tang Wanbai: "Oh."
Fu Yanle rubbed Tang Wanbai's head and heard Meng Xinqiu calling him.
Meng Xinqiu walked over to Fu Yanle and said, "That night, Director Wang and the others pulled me aside to talk. When I found out you were in trouble, I rushed upstairs, but Producer Jiang stopped me. I was so worried about you, Yanle. Are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Fu Yanle said politely. "Thank you for your concern."
Meng Xinqiu felt that Fu Yanle's aloofness was more piercing than the falling snow. He forced a slightly stiff smile and said, "The man who went upstairs that day, wasn't it Yu Jingchen? You and him..."
“We’re together now, he’s my boyfriend.” After saying that, Fu Yanle ran two steps forward, put her arms around An Shigou and Tang Wanbai’s shoulders, and was carried away by the two of them.
"..." Meng Xinqiu stood still, feeling a little short of breath.
No wonder... no wonder he searched for so long but couldn't find out where Fu Yanle was living now, no wonder his people always lost track of Fu Yanle's car. Brother Chen... it really is Yu Jingchen.
But why Yu Jingchen of all people?
As Meng Xinqiu watched Fu Yanle and the others walk away, she felt a cold, stiff, and numb sensation rising from her calves.
If it were anyone else, he would still have a chance to compete, but that man just happened to be Yu Jingchen.
None of the Yu family members are easy to deal with, and Yu Jingchen is even more difficult to approach. If he were to show any further interest in Fu Yanle, Yu Jingchen would definitely become resentful, and his career might suffer a severe blow. However, he was truly unwilling to give up.
Meng Xinqiu wiped her face, feeling that she had never encountered such a difficult situation before.
