Chapter 16. Jealousy is hard to express.
Chu Ruofu had brought a whole bag full of clothes and a change of clothes, which was a bit heavy to carry. She was going to stay at the hotel tonight.
"Give it to me," Lu Xubai suddenly said.
Chu Ruofu looked at him blankly: "What?"
Lu Xubai bent down and took the bag from her hands.
Chu Ruofu was stunned for a moment. Before she could speak, Lu Xubai glanced at her and said, "The production crew's car is outside."
Lu Xubai strode out, and Chu Ruofu quickly followed behind him.
The filming took place on the way to the hotel, and the production team sent a luxury business van that could seat many people.
The staff opened the car door, and Lu Xubai put his luggage bag on the seat, turned around and stood by the car door looking at Chu Ruofu, waiting for her to get in the car first.
Chu Ruofu didn't stand on ceremony with him, bent down and got into the car. After she got in, Lu Xubai followed her in.
The car was spacious, and Chu Ruofu casually found a window seat. As soon as she sat down, Lu Xubai sat down next to her.
Chu Ruofu tensed up, turned her head to look out the window, and stared at the street.
Seeing her nervous and timid appearance, Lu Xubai frowned slightly and pursed his thin lips.
The camera crew seemed a little anxious and hinted that the two should chat to break the silence.
Having finally obtained a presidential suite experience card, why do the two guests not seem very happy?
Chu Ruofu sent her heart-fluttering text message to the male lead, Gu Junsheng, but received Lu Xubai's message instead. She felt guilty and didn't dare to look Lu Xubai in the eye.
Lu Xubai checked his "heartbeat mailbox" half an hour ago, but there wasn't a single message expressing his interest.
Lu Xubai didn't care that the other female guests didn't vote for him, but he was very surprised and extremely displeased that Chu Ruofu didn't send him her "heartbeat" message.
To whom did she send her heart-fluttering text message?
This question lingered in Lu Xubai's mind. He wanted to question her, but found it difficult to bring himself to say it.
Chu Ruofu didn't vote for him; asking her again would only be humiliating.
Lu Xubai closed his eyes, processing a variety of complex and indescribable emotions.
A silence fell over the room.
The island is very large, and the villa area is quite remote. I wonder how far the hotel the production team booked is.
After driving for a few minutes, Chu Ruofu looked at the scenery rushing past the window and asked, "How far is it to the hotel?"
The staff member, who was off-camera, couldn't answer and looked at Lu Xubai.
Lu Xubai has always been calm and rational, never acting on emotion, and always treating work and relationships with the same perspective.
The jealousy that had been surfacing in his heart slowly disappeared after he sat next to Chu Ruofu for a while.
Just because she didn't send him the text message that made her heart flutter doesn't mean he won't have a chance in the future.
What's more, she was going to spend the night with him in the presidential suite.
"Half an hour." Lu Xubai's voice was cold.
Chu Ruofu glanced at him upon hearing this and said, "It's so far, I thought it would only take ten minutes or so."
Lu Xubai explained to her, "The hotel is on the mountaintop, and the winding mountain road will take some time to get there."
Chu Ruofu: "Then you can see a lot of stars."
Lu Xubai: "Yes."
You can see the stars as long as you have a wide field of vision. The view of the stars is different when you are on the beach and when you are in a high-rise hotel. Of course, the starry sky in a hotel is more beautiful.
Chu Ruofu was in a good mood and thought she would take more photos later and send them to her friends.
...
On the first day of the premiere of "Romantic Encounter Season 3", the internet exploded and it frequently trended on various platforms.
The guests' names are all trending on social media.
Chu Ruofu and Lu Xubai have several trending topics on social media.
# Female One and Male Three Shape Difference#
#Are the male guests on the dating reality show superheroes?#
The "heart-fluttering text message" segment has ended, and the heart-fluttering text messages from each guest have been revealed, leaving some happy and some sad.
The most anticipated guest, award-winning actress Qiao Yimo, failed to receive a heart-fluttering text message from her 'ex-boyfriend' Li Yichen, and cried sadly on camera, which was heartbreaking.
The hashtag #QiaoYimoCried# was trending at number one.
Since Qiao Yimo won the Best Actress award, her career has been smooth sailing. However, several of her dramas that were expected to be hits have flopped in the past two years, and she is now at risk of being overshadowed by the new generation of actresses in the entertainment industry.
She frequently appears in the public eye, accepting various advertising endorsements and appearing on variety shows, and her fan base keeps growing, but unfortunately, she doesn't have any substantial works to show for it.
Capitalists aren't fools. Her popularity was plummeting, and they quickly abandoned her, giving top-notch scripts to younger, up-and-coming actresses.
Romantic Encounters is currently the most popular variety show. Since its premiere, its popularity has surpassed that of lifestyle and challenge reasoning variety shows, with its soaring popularity leaving other variety shows far behind.
After crying, Qiao Yimo returned to her room feeling dejected and immediately sent a message to her agent. The press releases and online trolls were already prepared, and soon the topic of Qiao Yimo crying appeared on the top of the list.
[My heart aches for Momo, can't she find someone else to love?]
[Qiao Yimo is on a dating reality show? And it's actually to win back her ex-boyfriend, Li Yichen!]
I used to ship Qiao Yimo and Li Yichen, but I stopped following them after they broke up. Now they're getting back together!
[If you live long enough, you'll see everything! Hahaha, my old favorite couple might get back together, I'm so happy!]
[Don't be sad, Momo. It's not worth crying over a man.] [Li Yichen is so cold-hearted, ignoring Qiao Yimo completely. Is he even a man?]
The topic went viral. After learning that Li Yichen had sent his heartfelt text message to Xia Yuqing, fans dug up Xia Yuqing's identity as an internet celebrity, and a bunch of crazy CP fans and Qiao Yimo solo fans rushed to send private messages to Xia Yuqing.
The slightly more sympathetic fans pleaded with Xia Yuqing not to get involved between Qiao Yimo and Li Yichen.
The more aggressive fans started hurling insults, calling Xia Yuqing's face "plastic surgery" and questioning why a mere internet celebrity like her could compare to Qiao Yimo. They told her to be sensible and to tone down her manipulative behavior and stay away from Li Yichen.
Xia Yuqing, as an internet celebrity, has many die-hard fans, and people and some passersby helped her fight back in the comments section.
Tonight's trending topics are a complete mess.
Li Yichen received a call from his agent, who asked him how to handle the situation: whether to ignore it and let it cool down, or to hire a public relations firm to reduce the heat.
The production team would definitely not allow the show to lose popularity, because the traffic brought by the topics and discussions is money. At first, the production team only invited Li Yichen, and Qiao Yimo came uninvited. The award-winning actors and actresses are just gimmicks to attract viewers.
Li Yichen and his agent both understand this.
"Ignore it." Li Yichen's voice was icy.
Qiao Yimo can be as dramatic as she wants, but no matter how much she causes trouble, he won't give her a second glance.
The agent also disliked Qiao Yimo. He had once given her a helping hand, but she clung to Li Yichen like a parasitic vine, sucking his blood to death.
If it weren't for the fact that Qiao Yimo once saved Li Yichen's dog, her manager wouldn't have allowed her to get close to Li Yichen.
The agent asked, "What are your thoughts on Qiao Yimo now?"
They played lovers in a drama back then, and in real life, they were also promoted as a couple because of the TV series. After acting together so many times, they might have developed real feelings for each other.
Li Yichen has an eccentric temperament in private. When his manager asked him this question, he was displeased: "She's just an artist I've worked with before. What could she possibly be thinking?"
"Understood." The agent was completely relieved and asked, "Should we do something about Qiao Yimo's fans commenting on Tu Xiaowanghong's videos and in the related discussion forum?"
Li Yichen has always been too lazy to care about such things. If Xia Yuqing can capitalize on this wave of popularity, it will be a good thing for her.
Since you've chosen to get in touch with him, you should naturally be able to accept the opinions of others.
For some reason, Chu Ruofu's face suddenly flashed into his mind, and he said, "Contact her company and ask for her opinion."
Agent: "Understood."
The movie star meant that if Xia Yuqing wanted traffic and exposure, he wouldn't care. If Xia Yuqing didn't want to be criticized, he would pay for public relations to handle the controversy caused by him, such as deleting posts and reducing the heat.
The agent, surprised to see Li Yichen care about someone else's life or death for the first time, asked, "Do you like this female guest?"
Instead of answering, Li Yichen asked, "Did you find the gift I asked you to find?"
Agent: "It hasn't been that long, why are you in such a hurry? Who sent the gift?"
"It's Chu Ruofu's." Li Yichen urged, "Find it quickly."
The agent was surprised; wasn't Chu Ruofu another female guest?
If you already knew who sent the gift, why didn't you just say their name?
...
The car arrived at the mountaintop hotel, a brightly lit and resplendent star-rated hotel.
Chu Ruofu was stunned. She had expected it to be a high-end hotel, but she didn't expect it to be so luxurious, giving her the feeling of going to the Palace Hotel in Macau.
Lu Xubai carried two bags in one hand and walked beside her.
The two walked into the hotel together; the room had been booked by the production team, and they needed to check in.
Chu Ruofu took out her ID card from the small bag she was carrying and placed it on the front desk. Lu Xubai's gaze fell on her ID card.
Noticing that he was looking at her, Chu Ruofu thought to herself, "The ID card shows me without makeup. Luckily, my features are pretty, so the photo doesn't look bad."
After registering me at the front desk, they handed me my two ID cards stacked together: "Welcome to the Deluxe Presidential Suite at the Dennis Royal Hotel. The room is on the 38th floor. You can open the door with your room card or password."
Just as Chu Ruofu was about to reach out to take them, Lu Xubai took the two ID cards in his hand, glanced at them, and then took out her ID card and returned it to her.
Holding her ID card back in her bag, Chu Ruofu felt a surge of excitement. She had never stayed in a luxurious presidential suite before, and she was determined to enjoy it tonight.
We took the private elevator to the presidential suite and quickly arrived at the 38th floor. The elevator doors slowly opened.
Lu Xubai let Chu Ruofu exit the elevator first, and he followed behind her.
Upon arriving at the presidential suite, I swiped my room card and pushed the door open to go inside.
Chu Ruofu's eyes lit up instantly.
As expected of a presidential suite, the space is ridiculously large, with the sea on three sides.
The living room has a huge TV and leather sofas, the banquet hall has a round dining table that can seat more than a dozen people, and the bathroom is spacious and luxurious, with a bathtub where you can soak while looking at the stars and the sea.
Both bedrooms have king-size beds and face the sea, offering unobstructed views of the nightscape.
There is also a huge outdoor infinity pool outside, with ripples on the water under the starlight.
Except for the private bathroom and dressing room, which are not equipped with cameras, cameras have been installed in every corner of the room by the production team for live filming.
Chu Ruofu, displaying her true lazy nature, looked around and slumped onto the sofa.
That was awesome.
It was worth it after a long day.
