Chapter 151 Shameless
"I see. It seems that love is very important to actors. Thank you. I thought that becoming a master would prevent you from falling in love. After all, career is so important that it is difficult for some people to balance it."
Chen Xingzhi seemed to have realized something. The deliberate emphasis on the three words "fall in love" made it difficult for Ren Limeng not to notice. She could even inexplicably taste some vague resentment?
In front of the camera, Ren Limeng's expression remained normal, and the smile on her lips even deepened. "Brother Xingzhi, this python robe is hundreds of years old. Teacher Qi's explanation also contains our descendants' speculation, and perhaps some hearsay. We just need to listen to it."
There's no need to take everything seriously.
"Li Meng, how could you listen to hearsay in such a serious place like a museum? Teacher Qi, is that right?"
Chen Xingzhi and Ren Limeng's eyes met in the air, and they also looked at each other with a seemingly polite smile, with a dark glint that people around them could not ignore. Qi Yunxi was slightly stunned, and her eyes fell on the two of them. She nodded slowly with some hesitation, "...Yes..."
Ever since Chen Xingzhi came in, Ren Limeng's attitude had obviously changed. Her seemingly calm face fooled the camera, but Qi Yunxi and Yan Fangshu couldn't ignore it.
"I'm sorry, Teacher Qi, I took it for granted."
Ren Limeng smiled and glanced at Qi Yunxi a little embarrassedly, as if she was sorry for her unprofessional assumptions, but Ren Limeng never looked at Chen Xingzhi while she spoke, as if she didn't hear the series of hidden meanings in Chen Xingzhi's words.
During the following explanation, Chen Xingzhi stood by Ren Limeng's side without moving an inch, his deep black eyes always locked in the direction of Ren Limeng. Whenever Ren Limeng glanced at Chen Xingzhi with a warning, she could only see him looking through her at the collections farther away, his expression focused and serious.
Feeling the sharpness in Ren Limeng's eyes, Chen Xingzhi raised his eyebrows slightly, and his originally cold eyebrows were instantly stained with an imperceptible gentleness, and there was a different kind of warmth in his eyes.
Ren Limeng's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she turned her head quickly, unable to resist, and quickened her pace to catch up with Qi Yunxi and Yan Fangshu, as if this could hide the panic that arose in her heart as they looked at each other.
Can she...really stay calm throughout the whole process and finish recording the show smoothly?
Ren Limeng repeatedly told herself not to worry about it, but she had secretly made up her mind that when it came to the third public performance, she would definitely change groups!
Everything will be fine if she leaves Shen Xingzhi, the unstable bomb that makes her uneasy.
"Brother Xingzhi, Fangfang and I promised Teacher Qi that we would go back to the drama school for an exchange presentation. The practice schedule is so tight these past two days, and you still have the captain's show to prepare for. The drama school isn't a check-in location, and the production team hasn't prepared any rewards, so we won't waste your time."
It was just five o'clock when the museum tour ended. Ren Limeng glanced at the screen of her mobile phone and smiled faintly. Even her dimples seemed to be a little happy. She stopped and looked at Shen Xingzhi who continued to move forward, silently and completely widening the distance between them.
The three words "come back quickly" were expressed vividly in Ren Limeng's gentle speech, but her considerate and gentle tone made everyone feel that her words made sense, and they unconsciously ignored her subtext.
Ren Limeng's statement is comprehensive and reasonable. Even if there is sufficient funding, the program team's reward mechanism is almost non-existent. But at this moment, Ren Limeng used it to block Shen Xingzhi's colleagues in front of the camera, which was just right.
She had already said so much, Ren Limeng was confident, and with Shen Xingzhi's arrogance and self-esteem, he would definitely smile coldly in the next moment and "walk away in a huff", and would not stay for another second!
"You just want me to leave? Teacher Qi, Li Meng is so cruel!"
Chen Xingzhi's posture was as straight as a lone pine tree. He caught the cunning flash in Ren Limeng's eyes, and his stern eyes softened quietly. With a slight hook of his thin lips, he spoke with a hint of grievance in his low voice as if jokingly, and complained to Ren Limeng's teacher Qi Yunxi on the spot.
This also made Ren Limeng dumbfounded, and her pupils shrank so sharply that she almost couldn't help but open her eyes wide.
"Xingzhi, Li Meng didn't mean that..."
Qi Yunxi had a headache. As she walked along, it was hard for her not to notice the subtle atmosphere between Shen Xingzhi and Ren Limeng. On one side was her beloved disciple, and on the other side was a big star. She was caught in a dilemma, and she secretly glanced at Ren Limeng for help.
Feeling the powerful aura beneath Shen Xingzhi's nonchalant tone, Qi Yunxi's mouth curled up stiffly, and before Ren Limeng could react, she had already started to explain anxiously in a dry voice.
"Not only will you be touring Mei City's attractions this week, you'll also likely be practicing for a performance. It must be very tiring, Li Meng... I feel bad for you. I invited Li Meng and the others to the drama school to perform 'The Female Prime Minister,' which Li Meng livestreamed yesterday. It was rather dull, and Li Meng was worried you'd be... bored. Of course, both the drama school and Li Meng welcome you to join us. Speaking of which, many of Li Meng's junior and senior students are fans of yours!"
Listening to Qi Yunxi's stuttering efforts to express herself, Ren Limeng lowered her head slightly as if embarrassed, raised her right hand to push the loose hair on her forehead behind her ear, and using her palm to cover her eyes, she suddenly raised her eyelids and glared at Chen Xingzhi fiercely.
Know when to quit, understand?
Big stars are always arrogant. If they want to go, just say so. Do they want everyone to invite them again and again?
If the camera hadn't been there, Ren Limeng would have definitely mocked Yin Yang Chen Xingzhi and directly expressed her dissatisfaction from the bottom of her heart.
Why bully honest people? What does their affairs have to do with Teacher Qi?
And...after three days of recognition, Shen Xingzhi now really...made her look at him with new eyes!
Everyone has learned to find a way out for themselves!
"Teacher Qi, Brother Xingzhi was just joking with you. He's a cold-faced person with a warm heart. He just looks cold, but actually... he's just joking."
Ren Limeng gritted her teeth secretly, and deliberately lowered and emphasized the ending of her voice, but she still smiled. She smiled and took Qi Yunxi's arm, silently comforting Qi Yunxi who was a little nervous facing Shen Xingzhi.
"Li Meng is right, Teacher Qi, did you get scared? I'm sorry, but since so many of my junior and senior students at the drama school are my fans, I have already arrived at the door, so there is no reason not to meet everyone."
Chen Xingzhi folded his hands in front of his chest and spoke slowly in a low and firm voice. His words expressed his intention to go to drama school together, which caught Qi Yunxi off guard. Her eyes paused briefly, and with a hint of surprise in them, she subconsciously looked at Ren Limeng again.
Yan Fangshu, whose eyes had been shifting between Ren Limeng and Shen Xing, also looked surprised, but soon, she looked at Shen Xingzhi with a satisfied smile and nodded silently in her heart.
Ren Limeng was showing just the right amount of surprise, but deep down she felt helpless.
When Shen Xingzhi responded almost as a joke, Ren Limeng immediately guessed that Shen Xingzhi was going to stay, but it was hard for her to explain so much to justify her choice.
"...Welcome, welcome! A warm welcome! It's an honor for our drama school to have you visit us. We must be very happy to see you!"
Listening to Qi Yunxi's flustered yet passionate voice, Ren Limeng pursed her lips slightly, trying hard to hold a smile on the corner of her mouth, until she met Yan Fangshu's gossipy eyes watching the show, and she finally couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Yan Fangshu: Mengmeng, Chen Xingzhi really likes you, he's so shameless that he wants to stay with you (dog head)
When walking back to the drama school, Qi Yunxi carefully introduced the Huangmei Opera School to Shen Xingzhi in front, and the camera silently recorded the two people's pleasant conversation.
Ren Limeng took the time to glance at her phone, then looked at Yan Fangshu who was looking down at her phone a step away.
She and Yan Fangshu were too familiar with each other and could easily see through each other's emotions. What's more, at this moment, Yan Fangshu was suppressing a smile on her lips and did not hide it at all from Ren Limeng. Ren Limeng understood her jokes and fantasies at a glance.
Ren Limeng slowly pinched Yan Fangshu's arm, silently reminding Yan Fangshu: We are still recording!
Yan Fangshu: Looking closely at Chen Xingzhi, he's quite handsome. It's so hot, and he's not wearing makeup during the filming? Don't male celebrities usually have to do eyebrow and eye makeup? What skincare products does Chen Xingzhi use on a daily basis?
Yan Fangshu: Mengmeng, can you help me ask? I feel like my skin has deteriorated significantly in the past two years. I'm not naturally beautiful like you, so getting facials every day doesn't seem to be working. I'm really worried! (sighs) (dog head)
Yan Fangshu: If you two get together, it’s not too much for me to ask for a set of cosmetics, right?
"Fangfang, be careful where you step."
Ren Limeng pretended to be expressionless and turned off the screen of her mobile phone. Her eyes fell on the staff who were still doing their job and filming. She reminded Yan Fangshu again in a serious tone. Perhaps only Yan Fangshu, who was looking at her, could understand. In addition to the reminder in Ren Limeng's eyes, there was a hint of helplessness and a bit of embarrassed doubt.
Ren Limeng really wanted to ask Yan Fangshu when she turned from a fan of only one couple to a fan of both of them!
She was completely kept in the dark!
It is said that her journey is to the stars and the sea, and we will always support her to achieve her beauty!
She remembered clearly the confident voice she spoke at that time, so why did she suddenly "betray" her?
Even if Shen Xingzhi is incredibly handsome, he can't have such magic after just one meeting, right?
Besides, after seeing it for a long time, I found that Shen Xingzhi is so handsome... He is not much better than others!
Ren Limeng couldn't help but glance at Chen Xingzhi who was speaking to her side. His eyelashes were slightly drooped, revealing a cold and clear outline, neat and smooth, and his thin lips were slightly pursed, noble and indifferent...
It is indeed pleasing to the eyes.
pleasing to the eye.
A faint smile unconsciously appeared on Ren Limeng's lips, and the moment Shen Xingzhi felt his gaze on her, she suddenly withdrew her gaze and looked up at the sky, as if this could help her maintain her indifferent composure.
The clear sky was silently dyed with layers of warm colors, from light pink to honey orange, and then to warm golden red. The boundless sunset glowed with charming luster, orange like gold, purple like a dream. As the light changed, it was sometimes bright and dazzling, sometimes soft and hazy, with a beauty and shock that could not be expressed in words.
