Chapter 175 Just Follow Your Heart
Yan Fangshu: Mengmeng, you and Shen Xingzhi acted alone again this afternoon?!
Yan Fangshu: I saw your Reuters photos on Weibo. Standing together, you looked like a young couple. Are you going on a date this afternoon?
Yan Fangshu: What is your relationship now?
Yan Fangshu: "Shan Hai" was broadcast last night, and your ad slogan announcement only caused a small-scale discussion. Then Chen Xingzhi's Weibo suddenly introduced you so formally, and you were directly ranked first on the trending search list. Now many people remember that there is a host like you on the Orange platform. Shen Xingzhi did such a good thing, so don't argue with me that you didn't know (dog head)
Yan Fangshu: The photos posted by Chen Xingzhi's fan club are simply the set of an idol drama, although the people are blurred hahahahahaha
Yan Fangshu: (photo.jpg) + N photos
Yan Fangshu almost couldn't contain her curiosity in the morning. If she hadn't thought about Ren Limeng having a showdown with her parents at noon, she would have definitely asked her questions early in the morning and would not let Ren Limeng leave the coffee shop easily.
Yan Fangshu had planned to wait until the next time they met to question Ren Limeng in detail, but she didn't expect that when she got off the stage this afternoon and opened her social software, her phone showed countless photos of Ren Limeng and Shen Xingzhi together under the overwhelming recommendations of the information cocoon.
I don’t know if it’s the CP fans’ imagination, but in many photos, Chen Xingzhi happens to be looking at Ren Limeng with a smile, and his eyes can’t be said to be completely innocent.
Even in the deliberately blurred solo photo of Shen Xingzhi by his fan page, Shen Xingzhi's expression was unusually focused.
Some subconscious behaviors cannot fool the camera.
On the business car back to the B&B, Ren Limeng was chatting on her phone when a series of new pictures from Yan Fangshu suddenly popped up. Ren Limeng clicked on the chat and stared at a line of text from Yan Fangshu for a long time. She couldn't help but enlarge the photo of Shen Xingzhi.
Through the dim light of the screen, those deep and cold eyes seemed to have a soft filter. Shen Xingzhi's upright posture was elegant with some laziness. He raised his chin slightly, like a proud cat with its head slightly raised. He seemed nonchalant, but there seemed to be a subtle expectation hidden in his eyes.
Ren Limeng subconsciously held her breath, but quickly realized that this was just a Reuters photo, but... it looked pretty.
Ren Limeng: It’s an unclear relationship.
Ren Limeng pondered for a moment, her cheeks puffed up slightly, and she thought about it for a long time while deleting and cutting on the screen. In the end, she still couldn't find the accurate words to define her current relationship with Shen Xingzhi. But no matter what, she was very happy these two days.
Ren Limeng: Fangfang, I don’t know if I still like Chen Xingzhi. I’m going to give it a try.
Ren Limeng knew herself very well. She was absolutely crazy about Shen Xingzhi's almost perfect appearance. From college to now, she had only recently discovered that her taste in handsome guys had not changed at all. Shen Xingzhi's handsome face was still her favorite in her imagination.
But Ren Limeng didn't know if it was true, that was all.
Shen Xingzhi is no longer the senior Xingzhi of the past. Does she... like the current Shen Xingzhi?
Ren Limeng asked herself this question many times, but still couldn't get a definite answer.
Even after the unforgettable Weibo post she hosted last night, Ren Limeng couldn't tell whether what was surging in her heart was more of a feeling of being touched or... of being moved.
Yan Fangshu: Contact?
Yan Fangshu: What kind of contact? Mengmeng, you haven't already taken action, have you? (Looking around)
Ren Limeng: Of course, let’s do it right away!
Having been a host for many years, Ren Limeng can remain calm even when encountering chaos on the stage of a rural gala. However, outside of work, Ren Limeng is not as calm as the host performing in front of the camera. She has many impulsive emotions.
Many times, it’s just what you feel.
Ren Limeng: I’m already thirty years old, time waits for no one.
Yan Fangshu: ???
Yan Fangshu: Who told me a while ago that 30 is still young and there’s no need to rush into a relationship? (Shocked) (Shocked) (Shocked)
Yan Fangshu: Mengmeng, although Chen Xingzhi is very good, don’t get carried away too quickly!
At this moment, Yan Fangshu felt a little conflicted. She believed that Chen Xingzhi was very suitable for Ren Limeng in many aspects. Chen Xingzhi's qualities were obvious to all. He was indeed the best choice for Ren Limeng to find a boyfriend now.
But rationally, she was still afraid that Ren Limeng would get hurt again emotionally.
From childhood to adulthood, Yan Fangshu knows better than anyone how many emotions Ren Limeng has, and she also understands the huge hurt that the sudden divorce caused to Ren Limeng. Even if it seems to be just a past event now, all healed wounds must have hideous scars.
Even though Ren Limeng seems gentle and calm now, Yan Fangshu has not forgotten the impetuous Ren Limeng in the past. She only hopes that after she makes up her mind this time, she will not fall into a long period of forced smile.
Ren Limeng: Fangfang, don't worry, I'm very sober.
Ren Limeng: I reflected last night on whether I have been too restrained over the years. I wanted too much to be an excellent host and kept asking myself to be rational, rational, and rational again, but instead neglected my own life. I just don’t want to suppress my emotions anymore.
Ren Limeng: I won’t be as silly as I was when I was eighteen, but I also shouldn’t be afraid of ropes for ten years after being bitten by a snake once.
Ren Limeng: I’m very happy to be with Shen Xingzhi these days.
Ren Limeng: I just enjoy life while I can.
Live in the present and seize the present.
Ren Limeng thought very clearly that she was no longer the reckless and impulsive little girl. Behind all her seemingly "impulsive" actions this time, there was already a weighing of the pros and cons, but most of the time she still followed her heart.
Ren Limeng stared at the anti-spy screen on her phone that she had bought for fifty dollars before the show until she returned to the B&B.
Chen Xi and Guan He had returned from Meixiang Theater and continued practicing in the training room of the B&B. Li Chuyue and Han Tai were also there with them. Ren Limeng walked towards the training room, intending to practice her part in "Time and Flying Life" again. As soon as she opened the door, she saw four people whispering to each other.
Ren Limeng's gaze first met Li Chuyue.
Ren Limeng keenly noticed that Li Chuyue immediately avoided her gaze in a panic. Her hand holding the door handle paused, and she noticed the sharpness in Chen Xi's eyes when he looked at her. Ren Limeng hesitated slightly, raised a smile, greeted the four people at the door, and prepared to close the door of the training room again.
Ren Limeng's sixth sense told her that the atmosphere was not right.
The performance is approaching and they will be leaving Mei City tonight. Whether it is Chen Xi or Li Chuyue, Ren Limeng hopes that everyone can try their best to maintain harmony in front of the camera. It is better to have less trouble than more.
"Why don't you go in?"
Shen Xingzhi walked towards the training room with two glasses of ice water. He stood next to Ren Limeng and handed her a glass of water.
"Sister Chen Xi and the others are training, so I won't disturb them."
"That's perfect. We can see what they've accomplished this afternoon."
Chen Xingzhi had always been thinking about Chen Xi's Huangmei Opera. The performance was a common stage for the entire team of guests. As the captain, it was his duty to help his teammates. Chen Xingzhi believed in Chen Xi's ability and was well aware of Chen Xi's pride, so he did not act rashly today.
But if Chen Xi still can't perform "Couple Watching Lanterns" well, Shen Xingzhi plans to seize the last time in Mei City and invite other masters from Meixiang Theater to come over for guidance. He has already made arrangements with Meixiang Theater in advance.
"Brother Xingzhi, you go in, I'll go upstairs and take a rest."
As the captain, it was natural for Shen Xingzhi to watch everyone training, but Ren Limeng was different.
Ren Limeng knew very well that the relationship between her and Chen Xi had reached a freezing point. Moreover, these days, whenever Chen Xi looked at her, there was always a hint of disdain in his eyes.
If I go to see Chen Xi's performance now, no matter how sincere my suggestions are, it will seem like a show of force and Chen Xi will definitely be severely irritated. The subtleties involved are insignificant.
Ren Limeng had no intention of laughing at others. She just hoped that Chen Xi would perform well in "Couple Watching Lanterns". After everyone worked together in the second public performance, they would go their separate ways in the third public performance, which could be considered a decent ending in front of the camera.
But many things always go against our wishes.
"Li Meng, you've already reached the door, why are you suddenly going upstairs? Do you have a problem with one of us? Come in, we're tired from training too and are taking a break."
Chen Xi invited with a forced smile. She looked at Ren Limeng outside the door, her eyes falling on the water handed to her by Shen Xingzhi. She and Shen Xingzhi had known each other for so many years and had collaborated on many stages, but Shen Xingzhi had never been so special to her.
I heard that Chen Xingzhi actually had the leisure to accompany Ren Limeng to record some punch-in challenge this afternoon. Chen Xi felt that Chen Xingzhi was completely bewildered by beauty. She didn't expect that Chen Xingzhi would one day be so confused!
For a mere Ren Limeng!
He didn't even know how double-dealing Ren Limeng was!
"Sister Chen Xi, I just don't want to disturb you, don't think too much."
Ren Limeng walked into the training room with a smile on her face as she spoke.
Chen Xi's eyes were filled with obvious confrontation. Ren Limeng has never been a person who is afraid of trouble. Since Chen Xi has "invited" her like this, she will naturally not escape.
"Li Meng, I heard you and Brother Xingzhi went to record a short video? Why didn't you invite us to join? We'll be at the Meixiang Theater this afternoon. Wouldn't it be better if we all recorded a check-in video for the theater together? What a shame!"
Guan He took away the pillow on the sofa beside him, and when Ren Limeng came over to sit down, he handed the pillow to her. He leaned forward slightly, with some hidden eagerness in his eyes. If he and Chen Xi did not have to train together as a group, he really wanted to spend the afternoon with Ren Limeng.
Feelings need to be cultivated, and he also needs to prove his feelings with actions.
"The recording schedule is tight, and I'm afraid it will affect your training. Sorry, Brother Guan He, next time I have the chance, I will definitely invite you to join me!"
Chen Xi's refusal to go with her at noon today was so obvious that Ren Limeng naturally couldn't let herself get bored in the afternoon. Punching in was just a personal gesture, and Ren Limeng didn't want to cause trouble.
But Ren Limeng didn't explain anything. She just smiled at Guan He apologetically, as if everything was her negligence.
