Chapter 49 I gave up first
She was just a newcomer in the entertainment industry, and she actually dared not add Shen Xingzhi and Yan Baiwei's WeChat. Ren Limeng had a smile on her face. Even though she knew Yan Baiwei's ill intentions, she still didn't show any panic on her face.
"Sister Bai Wei, did you remember correctly? We added each other on WeChat on the first day. Your profile picture was an artistic photo of you wearing a red dress. I even praised your beautiful photo that day!"
Ren Limeng blinked, her voice filled with a hint of grievance. She looked at Yan Baiwei calmly, confusion and anxiety in her eyes. As she spoke, she picked up her phone, as if preparing to show her WeChat chat interface directly in front of the camera.
Ren Limeng's unexpectedly tough attitude carried a veiled threat, completely surprising Yan Baiwei. Her body stiffened in disbelief, her gaze piercing like an arrow as she stared at Ren Limeng, her voice hesitant. "Then... maybe I remembered it wrongly."
Yan Baiwei stared at Ren Limeng's right hand and used her eyes to stop Ren Limeng from opening her cell phone. Ren Limeng smiled lightly and did not continue to entangle with Yan Baiwei.
The recording still needs to continue, and it is better to stop at the right time than to reveal the whole story.
Li Qingzi, who was standing by, saw the situation and said with concern, "Everyone has been so busy lately. Brother Xingzhi, could you have remembered it wrongly? How could Li Meng not have added you on WeChat?"
It seemed that he was defending Ren Limeng, but he also successfully directed the topic back to Shen Xingzhi. Ren Limeng looked up calmly and stared at Shen Xingzhi not far away.
They had just reached a cooperation, and Shen Xingzhi should not make things difficult for her at this time. She wanted to see what Shen Xingzhi was up to.
"I'm not mistaken."
Shen Xingzhi suddenly paused, his cold eyes suddenly filled with complex emotions. In the training room, everyone's attention was focused on Ren Limeng, wanting to explore her reaction at the moment. After a slight pause, the production team had already set up the camera, expecting a dispute to begin. Only the camera remained silent, capturing every expression of Shen Xingzhi and Ren Limeng truthfully.
"Schoolgirl, after all these years, it's time to release me from the blacklist."
Shen Xingzhi raised the corner of his mouth, his tone was somewhat helpless, but also revealed a hint of doting. He looked at Ren Limeng seriously, and his cold face softened. Even though everyone was in the training room, everyone could clearly perceive that at this moment, Shen Xingzhi only had Ren Limeng in his eyes.
impossible.
This was Xu Chichi's first reaction. Shen Xingzhi had been in the industry for many years and had never treated any female star differently or shown any special feelings towards her. But at this moment, Shen Xingzhi's voice was so real and ethereal, breaking his own principles with every word, and taking the lead in being ambiguous in front of the camera, and the object of ambiguity was not even a female star.
After this scene is broadcast, Ren Limeng and Shen Xingzhi will surely cause heated discussions. Does Shen Xingzhi want to be bundled with Ren Limeng for marketing? But even Chen He and Hong Qingli, who are frequently involved in marketing in the next group, don't seem to be as shocking as Shen Xingzhi.
Besides, why Ren Limeng? Shouldn't Li Qingzi, who works in the same company, be a better choice?
Alternatively, collaborating with Yan Baiwei, who has a higher status, to market the "love-hate relationship" is also a good idea; at worst, she has mentioned so many times since the recording that she is his fan, and choosing her can also market her fan-favorite personality, which is better than Ren Limeng, a nobody with no foundation and no fans!
Why is it Ren Limeng!
Xu Chichi took a deep breath and almost asked directly, but Yan Baiwei could no longer accept it. She tightened her fingers unconsciously, looked at Shen Xingzhi, then looked at Ren Limeng, her eyebrows furrowed, and questioned Ren Limeng directly without caring about anything, "Ren Limeng, you blocked Brother Xingzhi? You are really awesome!"
The aggressive tone seemed to be directed at herself, not Shen Xingzhi. The air seemed to freeze at this moment, and everything around her became unusually quiet, even the slightest breathing sound could be clearly heard.
Meeting Shen Xingzhi's eyes, Ren Limeng's eyes moved slightly. After hearing Yan Baiwei's accusation, she still sat there calmly, "Sister Baiwei, you misunderstood."
If it weren't for the recording, Ren Limeng would have wanted to ask back, even if she blocked Shen Xingzhi, what would it matter? Yan Baiwei was not her, nor was she Shen Xingzhi, so what did the matter between them have to do with her?
But when it came to work, Ren Limeng simply met Yan Baiwei's sharp gaze with a calm demeanor and smiled slowly.
In fact, all of a sudden, Ren Limeng didn't figure out how to explain the so-called misunderstanding. She just believed that her partner Shen Xingzhi would provide a reasonable answer. The stage was set up, and she was not the only one to perform the show. Shen Xingzhi had thrown out the burden himself, so she should naturally take it first.
"It's my problem."
Chen Xingzhi looked at Yan Baiwei, then slowly turned to Ren Limeng. He stared intently at Ren Limeng, or perhaps just looked at the camera beside her. His deep voice concealed an indescribable heaviness and sadness, attracting everyone to explore unconsciously.
"I gave up first."
Everyone pricked up their gossipy ears, their eyes wandering between Shen Xingzhi and Ren Limeng. In just a few seconds, they had imagined so much love, hate, and vengeance in their minds. In the past two days, the gossip about Shen Xingzhi and Ren Limeng has hardly left the hot search list. Could it be... not made out of nothing?
Xiao Zhang, who was following the camera, felt that his palms were sweating. He was originally assigned to shoot the unknown Ren Limeng, and the other crew members looked at him with sympathy. But in the past few days, he vaguely felt that Ren Limeng and Shen Xingzhi had a close relationship. From the time Ren Limeng went to the bar to find Shen Xingzhi privately, to now, Ren Limeng, who was involved with Shen Xingzhi, would definitely become the focus of the show. His camera suddenly became very important to the program crew.
Dong Zhu's methodical arrangements came through the intercom. She personally directed the camera scheduling, and her usually calm voice was tinged with urgency. "Ren Limeng, pay attention, your angle is just right. Push the camera forward and quickly capture a close-up of Shen Xingzhi. Also, after Shen Xingzhi finishes speaking, pay attention to Ren Limeng's reaction!"
With great anticipation, Shen Xingzhi paused for a moment, lowered his eyes, and said softly, "I'll give up hosting first, junior sister, I'm sorry, I made a slip of the tongue."
Host?
Chen Xingzhi's words were incomprehensible, and the content was beyond everyone's expectations. The atmosphere around them became very strange. The camera paused for a second, and after hearing Dong Zhu's instructions, it finally turned the camera to Yan Baiwei and other guests, and then focused on Ren Limeng, quietly capturing every inch of her gaze.
Ren Limeng's perfectly placed smile froze, her complex expression showing a certain disappointment. Her lips moved slightly, as if thousands of words were rushing to her throat, but disappeared without a trace in an instant, leaving only an unspoken sigh in the air.
The reason Shen Xingzhi found was very good, very good.
It not only perfectly explains why she blocked him on WeChat, cleverly brings out their past, but also quietly makes more viewers aware of her professional identity as a host, bringing the two closer together and cleverly keeping the distance between them ambiguous.
Ren Limeng caught the "play" thrown by Shen Xingzhi, silently but vividly performing what she should have done in her heart at this moment. Looking at the reactions around her that were exactly the same as she had expected, and listening to Shen Xingzhi's bitter voice continue to narrate, Ren Limeng's heart settled down, knowing that the first scene of her and Shen Xingzhi's CP promotion had been tacitly completed.
But the next moment, there was a heaviness somewhere deep in my heart, like a cup of strong coffee without sugar, slowly spreading in my heart. Although the surface was calm, there were mixed feelings inside. Every time I recalled it, the only thing that remained unchanged was the bitterness, and the memories of the past were still so hard to let go.
In addition to cooperating in the acting, Ren Limeng's eyes unconsciously revealed her true feelings.
"I studied broadcasting and hosting in college. I remember meeting Li Meng in the hosting club. Li Meng wasn't even a hosting major at the time, but she was incredibly hardworking. I often saw her practicing her pronunciation early in the morning in the library corridor. Later, we became partners and co-hosted many evening parties at CCU."
Chen Xingzhi's tone was filled with some reminiscence. When he mentioned Ren Limeng in college, his eyes were instantly filled with a gentle power. The warm light penetrated the layers of icebergs, melting all the coldness around him inch by inch, with an indescribable softness that made people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze, but also a little regretful.
"Yes, Brother Xingzhi, you also studied hosting in college."
Xu Chichi sighed softly and tried to comfort Shen Xingzhi, "I don't think I've seen you publicly host a show in all these years. You sing so well, everyone thinks you are a professional. They never thought you didn't study vocal music!"
"Yes, I still remember when I first started college, I came across Brother Xingzhi's "The End of an Autumn Hair." I couldn't help but play that song on repeat. I loved it! I thought Brother Xingzhi was so handsome! Later, I had the opportunity to work in the same company with Brother Xingzhi, and luckily, I was also assigned to Sister Jiao. I was so happy!"
With undisguised admiration in her eyes, Li Qingzi began to recall her past with Shen Xingzhi.
"Mountains and Seas" is a reality show. In addition to performances and training, the more important thing is the "show", which shows the guests' true feelings and triggers the audience's true feelings. The breaks in training are the best time for guests to communicate with each other, and no one will miss the opportunity to enrich their personalities.
Yan Baiwei also noticed the changes in the expressions of her teammates. The ten-minute break had passed, but no one mentioned training, and the program team did not urge them at all.
Although she was surprised at Shen Xingzhi's performance today, what was more important now was her own presentation. Yan Baiwei stood up straight, trying to think about how to take over Li Qingzi's words and tell her story.
"Yes, Brother Xingzhi played and sang 'The End of an Autumn Hair' by himself. I was stunned watching him live. It was so beautiful, like the sound of nature! I even secretly told my friends at the time that Brother Xingzhi was so good at everything, leaving us other hosts no room to grow. It's a good thing he's graduating soon, otherwise, we hosts would have to secretly curl up and learn a few unique skills!"
Ren Limeng's face was filled with admiration, and her humorous tone completely dispelled the sense of loss in the air. "I'm a year younger than Brother Xingzhi. At our graduation party the following year, everyone was still discussing Brother Xingzhi's song 'The End of the Autumn Hair'. At that time, Brother Xingzhi had just debuted from 'Idol Signal', and the campus was full of his posters..."
"Were you in the country at the time?"
