Chapter 111: Someone comes with bad intentions?
She shouldn't have been dwelling on this issue.
Ren Limeng took a deep breath, rubbed her brows, and finally put down her phone completely. She looked out the window, and saw a bustling scene with faint lights.
In the distance, the dark blue city wall stands silently in the night, the orange lanterns sway in the wind, and the faint warm light outlines the contours of the city wall in the darkness. Along the winding streets of the city wall, shops are lined up, people come and go, and the air is filled with the ubiquitous smell of fireworks.
"Li Meng, Xingzhi is your senior. Were you familiar with each other before?"
Chen Xi asked casually while sitting at the desk on the other side and applying a facial mask in the mirror.
Ren Limeng retracted her gaze and looked at Chen Xi calmly, then glanced at the surrounding cameras. "We're quite familiar with each other. We used to be in the same club and participated in many activities together."
"No wonder. When we were teaming up, I felt like Xingzhi treated you differently. Even though everyone insisted on waiting for you to team up because you and Guan He had an appointment, I always felt like Xingzhi just wanted to be on the same team with you. Wasn't it him who directly picked you for your first public performance? I didn't expect him to pick you for your second public performance as well. I initially thought he was closer to Qingzi, but I never expected that."
Chen Xi's voice was soft and his tone was full of nonchalance, but Ren Limeng unconsciously straightened her back and instantly adjusted her somewhat slouched sitting posture.
This was the second night she and Chen Xi lived in the same room together. Why was Chen Xi... coming with bad intentions again?
Ren Limeng felt a little helpless in her heart. She really didn't want to confront Chen Xi, but the tree wanted to be still but the wind did not stop.
There were traps in just a few sentences. On the one hand, she described the relationship between Shen Xingzhi and her in an attempt to cover up the truth, and on the other hand, she was trying to sow discord between her and Li Qingzi. Li Qingzi's fans were no match for Shen Xingzhi, but they were more than enough to wipe out her discussion forum.
She didn't expect that after a tiring day at get off work, she would find this waiting for her in the room.
Ren Limeng sighed in her heart. Both aspects were difficult to explain. She saw through it but didn't say it out loud. Chen Xi had been up and down in the entertainment industry for many years. She dared to conclude that Chen Xi was definitely doing it on purpose at this moment.
But even if Chen Xi wanted to cause trouble, she had to cheer up and deal with it. Thinking of the grouping in the afternoon, Ren Limeng's eyes showed some understanding, and she smiled.
"Sister Chen Xi, you're not trying to find out about my relationship with Brother Xingzhi, are you?"
Ren Limeng spoke in a relaxed and frank tone, even with a hint of joking in her words. She asked the question without hesitation, avoiding Chen Xi's metaphor. Ren Limeng did not explain, but threw the question back to Chen Xi.
Chen Xi couldn't help but look back, and their eyes suddenly met in the air. In the silent atmosphere, there was only Chen Xi's expression that was difficult to distinguish with the mask on his face and Ren Limeng's face with a calm smile.
"Inquire? Li Meng, I'm just curious. Can't I tell you? Then I won't ask."
Chen Xi stared into Ren Limeng's eyes, with a hint of surprise and disappointment in her tone, as if she thought they were friends, but Ren Limeng actually had no feelings for her and only treated her as a partner.
"Of course I can, Sister Chen Xi, but I don't know what to say."
There was some confusion and bewilderment in Ren Limeng's voice. She looked at Chen Xi sincerely, casting aside the image of a comprehensive host, and sighed softly.
"Sister Chen Xi, haven't you and Brother Xingzhi always been familiar with each other? Have you asked him about this?"
In front of the camera, listening to Ren Limeng's nervous whisper, Chen Xi's face hidden behind the mask stiffened slightly, his eyes subconsciously sharp for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal.
Chen Xi understood the implication of Ren Limeng's words.
Ren Limeng hinted that she and Shen Xingzhi were more familiar with each other. If she had not asked Shen Xingzhi the same question, but asked her, whom she had only known for a few days, it would inevitably have the subtext of a big shot bullying people. At the same time, the implied temptation perfectly threw the question back to her.
Well done, she deserves to be able to charm Shen Xingzhi, and she even acted the panic that seemed to be genuine so well. It would be a pity if Ren Limeng was not a host but an actor!
"I... didn't ask. I just wanted to make it easier for us girls to communicate. Do you have any thoughts on that? How about I go and find out what Xingzhi is thinking for you? Xingzhi has been single for quite a while, and a lot of girls like him. As his friend, I'm worried about him. I don't know what kind of person he's looking for!"
Not only was Chen Xi worried about Shen Xingzhi as a "friend", her seemingly intimate sighs concealed her former girlish thoughts. To this day, she still liked Shen Xingzhi very much, but Shen Xingzhi never expressed it, either openly or secretly. After Chen Xi flirted with the "blind man" countless times, she finally gave up completely.
In the entertainment industry, love affairs between men and women are the most common. She has to hold on to more important things. In the world of fame and fortune, if she doesn't advance, she will retreat. Compared with being in love with Shen Xingzhi, cooperating with Shen Xingzhi is more important. Using Shen Xingzhi's fame to improve her status is the more important thing for Chen Xi at the moment.
Even Chen Xi couldn't help but want to give it a try when participating in an S+ variety show like "Shan Hai". She believes that her career can reach even higher heights.
Although she has a famous OST representative work, as a singer, apart from her strength, her traffic is not that large, and her fans are not as powerful as top stars like Chen Xingzhi. She also hopes to increase her fans through the show.
After joining Chen Xingzhi's team, Chen Xi has been feeling a little aggrieved these past two days. She recognized Chen Xingzhi's work, but it was a small character like Ren Limeng who came out of nowhere and wanted to steal her limelight.
Chen Xi could tolerate Shen Xingzhi's desire to promote Ren Limeng, but it was important for people to know themselves, and Ren Limeng should also find her own position. She needed to give this young host some advice.
Chen Xingzhi is Chen Xingzhi, and it is not right for him to take advantage of the power of others. The rules of the game in the circle have always been very clear, and Ren Limeng, who has taken all the advantages, will not be allowed to play dumb.
"Sister Chen Xi!"
Ren Limeng blinked, a faint blush on her embarrassed face. She took a deep breath, looked at Chen Xi with complicated eyes, and said softly, "Brother Xingzhi and I..."
The sense of loss between their words filled the entire room. Chen Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, sensing that there seemed to be some story between Ren Limeng and Shen Xing. She opened her mouth, ready to continue asking questions.
Ren Limeng suddenly couldn't help but rub her eyes hard, as she couldn't squeeze out any tears. Finally, her eyes were rubbed red like white rabbits. In front of the camera, she looked a little melancholy, as if she wanted to speak but tears came before her words.
"Forget it, it's all old and rotten. I think now, Brother Xingzhi and I just want to focus on the stage and record a good show. Sister Chenxi, don't worry, I won't let you down. I will work hard and live up to everyone's trust!"
Ren Limeng took a deep breath, her face regained its motivation, and she put on a generous smile again. Her eyes concealed all the complicated emotions, and she cleverly and completely cut off Chen Xi's questioning, and quietly turned the topic back to the program itself.
Chen Xi knew that she had missed the best time. If she continued to ask questions now, even if she could really get something out of them, it would appear that she had low emotional intelligence when it was broadcast, and it would touch people's sore spots. For her, the disadvantages would outweigh the advantages.
"Sister Chen Xi, I'm going out to get some fresh air."
Ren Limeng said with a forced smile. Looking at her red eyes, Chen Xi's throat choked. In the end, he just comforted her softly, "Limeng, it's all over. Don't be sad. Be careful and stay safe. I won't accompany you."
Chen Xi pointed at his facial mask and watched in silence as Ren Limeng slowly stood up, put on a dark blue baseball cap and walked out of the room. Chen Xi concealed the deep thought in his eyes, and the test ended in a harmonious atmosphere.
After walking out of the room, there was no sadness on Ren Limeng's face, but she still lowered her head, took out a handkerchief, and gently wiped the corners of her eyes where there was no tear at all. She put on a complete act. She didn't know if there was any surveillance camera from the production crew in the corridor.
The scene with Chen Xi finally ended.
Ren Limeng really wanted to go out and get some fresh air. She was already upset about Shen Xingzhi's affairs, and she was hesitating between her reason and emotion. She had just had to be patient in dealing with Chen Xi. If she stayed in the room any longer, Ren Limeng would almost be unable to continue her performance.
Ren Limeng took out a disposable black mask from her pocket and put it on. As she walked, she suddenly thought of something, took out her mobile phone, briefly summarized the conversation with Chen Xi, and sent a message to Shen Xingzhi. Her emotions, which were trying to hide throughout the whole process, did not have much true feelings. They were just a prelude after weighing the pros and cons. However, she had to inform Shen Xingzhi to avoid any contradictions in their performances in front of the camera.
There was nothing new in her and Shen Xingzhi's college story, but the ending of their quick marriage and divorce was definitely a hidden danger. She had to think more about herself before this incident broke out.
I feel tired.
But life goes on and the recording will not stop.
Ren Limeng could only take a breath during the precious free time at night. After reporting to the program crew, Ren Limeng decided to take a walk in the ancient city.
It is said that the daily necessities of life are the most soothing to ordinary people's hearts. Ren Limeng did not expect to be able to soothe the complicated thoughts in her heart, but listening to the familiar local accents of the shops on both sides of the street, feeling the soft breeze on her face, and looking at the crowds in the snack street, Ren Limeng's heart finally calmed down.
This time, she dared to go back to Mei City to record the program and decided to face the past with her parents. What obstacles can't be overcome?
She will surely be able to move forward bravely. Ren Limeng looked up at the boundless and deep summer night, where the stars were twinkling with dreamy light.
Ren Limeng firmly told herself that she would not indulge in any past events, even Chen Xingzhi could only shake her for a moment.
She is just an ordinary person with emotions and desires, so she should naturally allow herself to be weak for a moment, but no one and nothing can make her give in. After a brief fatigue, she will definitely continue to move forward.
After this circle, she will go back. She has to continue memorizing the song "Time and Space" tonight. Time is running out and she has no time to really feel sad. That is just a performance in front of the camera, not her personality.
Ren Limeng stretched out her arms and strode forward. Besides getting some fresh air, she decided to go out for a walk for another reason - to familiarize herself with the scene.
Fan County is so small, and their live broadcast recording tomorrow will be in this area of the inner city, so she needs to do some homework first.
Ren Limeng and Yan Fangshu have been in contact all the time. From Yan Fangshu, Ren Limeng already knew the theme of tomorrow's event. In addition to the stage check-in that the program team had announced to them, the most important event of tomorrow's afternoon live broadcast is definitely the opera competition, which is also one of the important performances of the Huangmei Week.
"Ren Limeng."
