Chapter 56 This cheongsam is absolutely stunning.
Chu Ruofu's heart skipped a beat. She turned to look at him, her eyes filled with a hint of confusion: "...What's wrong?"
Gu Junsheng frowned and looked at her for a few seconds, then slowly released her hand and said softly, "Good night."
Chu Ruofu felt her wrist burning from his touch. She turned and ran back into her room, closed the door, and leaned against it gently to calm her racing heart.
She had just thought Gu Junsheng was going to do something, fantasizing that he would pull her into his arms and kiss her tenderly. If the atmosphere was just right, she wouldn't be able to resist his charm, and it might even elevate their relationship further.
Chu Ruofu held her burning face in her hands. How could she be thinking about such nonsense now? She must have been corrupted by Xue Fangfei.
She gently patted her cheeks, then quickly went back to bed, turned off the light, closed her eyes, and cleared her chaotic mind.
In the living room, Gu Junsheng stood there for a while, then turned and went to the balcony, gazing at the night view in the distance.
His hand, hanging beside his robe, gently rubbed his fingers, as if savoring her soft skin and warmth.
When a man and a woman are alone under the same roof, and the other is the girl he has feelings for, it's inevitable that he will have some impulsive thoughts. He remembers how delicious her lips and tongue are and wants to taste them again.
He was always reserved and restrained, but when he was with her, he would always break free of his restraints, wanting to be close to her and wanting her eyes to be filled with him.
Fortunately, he managed to suppress his physical desires in time, preventing the situation from becoming chaotic.
He didn't want to let physical attraction bring them closer before they knew each other well enough, as this would make them less objective in their feelings for each other.
After standing on the balcony for a while in the cold wind and calming down completely, Gu Junsheng returned to his room.
the next day.
Sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the blackout curtains, scattering golden light across the floor and bringing a touch of early autumn coolness.
Chu Ruofu had a sweet dream, but when she woke up she couldn't remember anything from it. She threw off the covers, sat up, rubbed her eyes, got out of bed, and changed into her clean and dried clothes.
As she combed her messy hair with her fingers, she opened the door, and warm sunlight filled the room.
In the open kitchen, a tall, slender figure stands behind the island, wearing a white shirt with rolled-up sleeves revealing strong arms, and a belt around the waist that accentuates his broad shoulders and narrow waist.
The aroma of meat wafting from the pot was enticing, making one's mouth water in the early morning.
Chu Ruofu stared blankly at this scene full of life. She had seen Gu Junsheng cook in the variety show, but it had never made her heart flutter like this.
No wonder netizens who ship the couple say that President Gu is reserved, mature, and has the feel of a mature husband, making people feel that no matter what storms they experience outside, they can always find refuge in his warm embrace.
"You're awake." Gu Junsheng's cool voice came through.
Chu Ruofu snapped out of her reverie: "Hmm, you're up so early. What are you making for breakfast?"
Gu Junsheng looked at her and said, "I'm making sandwiches. I don't know if you like them. If you don't, we'll go out for breakfast later."
Chu Ruofu thought to herself, she lives in his apartment and he even gets up to make her breakfast. If she were to be picky, that would be incredibly rude.
"I like to eat."
Remembering that she hadn't washed up yet, Chu Ruofu quickly went to the bathroom and closed the door.
A faint smile flashed in Gu Junsheng's eyes as he turned back to continue grilling the luncheon meat. He controlled the heat perfectly, and it looked very appetizing.
After a hurried wash, Chu Ruofu tidied herself up in the bathroom and came out with a fresh and pretty face. Her bare face made her look exceptionally well-behaved.
Gu Junsheng plated the sandwich and asked her, "Would you like milk or coffee?"
Chu Ruofu disliked coffee because it was too bitter and never really liked it, so she said, "Milk."
Gu Junsheng poured her a glass of warm milk, and the two sat down at the table to eat breakfast facing each other.
Chu Ruofu was used to eating without chatting much, focusing on her food, while Gu Junsheng had excellent dining etiquette, occasionally taking a sip of coffee and glancing at the reports sent by his assistant.
The dining table was quiet.
After finishing breakfast, Chu Ruofu wiped her mouth with a tissue and said, "My agent booked me a flight for this morning."
Gu Junsheng put down his coffee cup and looked at her calmly: "What time? I'll take you there in advance."
“I can go by myself,” Chu Ruofu politely declined.
She remembered that Gu Junsheng was the busiest person on the entire dating show, often being the first to leave the Heartbeat House, and he would always be working with his notebook during the recording of the show.
"Don't you need to go to the company? I already took up your time yesterday, so I won't bother you today."
Gu Junsheng said earnestly, "We don't need to be so polite between us. Your matter is not a problem for me. I can adjust my work schedule. You don't need to feel guilty."
Chu Ruofu's eyes flickered as she said, "The flight is around 11 a.m.
Gu Junsheng raised his hand and glanced at his watch, saying, "I'm forty minutes from the airport. We can leave now."
"Please wait for me a moment."
Chu Ruofu got up and went back to her bedroom. She tidied up the messy room and closed the door. She was wearing the same clothes she had worn when she came, and carrying the pink Chanel suit that Gu Junsheng had bought for her.
After leaving the apartment, Gu Junsheng personally drove her to the airport.
Instead of following the route planned by the system, he drove into the airport parking lot, parked the car, and personally escorted her upstairs.
There are still two or three days before the recording of the next episode of the dating reality show. The two are in different places and have no way to contact each other in private. Last time, she took Gu Junsheng's silk scarf. After returning home, she forgot to take it out of her pocket and threw it into the washing machine. The silk scarf was washed into a ball and the writing was blurred.
Standing at the entrance, Chu Ruofu felt a little reluctant to leave.
It's mainly because Gu Junsheng is such a good person. His kindness is like a gentle spring rain, nourishing silently and carefully, allowing the seeds planted in our hearts to take root and sprout.
Chu Ruofu wore a hat and a mask that covered half of her face to avoid being photographed accidentally, and whispered, "Bye-bye."
Gu Junsheng stared intently at her and said in a deep voice, "Have a safe journey, see you at Heartbeat House."
As the plane landed in Haicheng, Xue Fangfei personally came to pick up Chu Ruofu, waving to Chu Ruofu who was walking towards her from the exit: "Fufu."
Chu Ruofu walked towards her, but before she had taken two steps, someone rushed over.
Are you Chu Ruofu?
"Fu-mei, Fu-mei—!"
"Could you sign your name for me, Fufu?"
People kept taking pictures with their phones and a crowd gathered around. Passersby who heard the commotion were curious and took out their phones to join in the fun.
Chu Ruofu was suddenly surrounded by so many enthusiastic people, and stood frozen in place, searching for Xue Fangfei's figure at a loss, while Xue Fangfei squeezed in from the crowd.
"Don't rush, don't rush, one at a time."
Chu Ruofu asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
Isn't being greeted by fans at the airport a privilege reserved for big stars? Was her schedule leaked?
Xue Fangfei took her arm and reminded her with a smile, "These are all your die-hard fans. They arranged to come to pick you up at the airport today."
Chu Ruofu knew that many celebrities would hire professional fan site administrators and professional fans to greet them at the airport, creating a persona of instant fame, and then have the fan site administrators post photos of them greeting the celebrities at the airport and leaked photos of the airport to achieve their marketing goals.
Fearing she might disturb passersby at the airport, Chu Ruofu quickly led a group of fans to a corner, where she signed the photos and took pictures with each fan.
After about half an hour, I finally got into the cramped nanny van.
Chu Ruofu asked, "Shall we go to the company first?"
Xue Fangfei said, "I'll take you back to your apartment first, so you can tidy up before going to the company. Your status is different now, so you need to always pay attention to your image."
Chu Ruofu doesn't have much of a fashion sense. Her clothes and skirts are mainly for comfort. Because she's relatively poor, she and Xue Fangfei buy their clothes from ordinary fast fashion brands, and the quality is just so-so.
Xue Fangfei told her, "You're going to be at the forefront of fashion from now on. Throw away all those ordinary clothes and we'll go buy some new ones in the next couple of days."
Chu Ruofu asked quietly, "Where did you get the money? Did you win the lottery?"
Xue Fangfei pinched her cheek and said, "Don't you know that we both get a share of the magazine sales? The more you sell, the more we get. The money has arrived in our account now."
Chu Ruofu was genuinely unaware of this matter, and she raised a question: "Isn't it said that celebrities only do magazine shoots to build popularity without receiving any payment?"
Apart from A-list celebrities shooting magazines, newcomers or actors with low profiles all shoot magazines for free, receiving zero payment for magazine sales.
Xue Fangfei said, "I don't know. Maybe the program team and the magazine have a cooperation contract. Don't worry about it too much. As long as we get paid, that's fine. Anyway, now that we have money, the first thing we should do is promote ourselves."
"I haven't had a moment's rest these past few days. I've watched a lot of big brand launches and learned a lot about professional dressing to give you a makeover."
Chu Ruofu felt that Xue Fangfei was in a good state and there was nothing to change. However, seeing Xue Fangfei's enthusiasm, she couldn't bear to dampen Xue Fangfei's spirits.
Back in her apartment, Xue Fangfei redid her makeup, but she wasn't satisfied with the clothes spread all over the bed. In the end, she put on the Chanel dress that Gu Junsheng had given her.
"Mr. Gu has excellent taste. This outfit suits you perfectly, it's amazing."
Chu Ruofu remembered that she hadn't told Gu Junsheng she was back in Haicheng. She wanted to tell him, but she forgot to ask for his contact information, so she could only post a message on her main Weibo account.
[@Chu Ruofu, landed in Haicheng, thank you everyone for coming to pick me up at the airport.]
Gu Junsheng had assumed that Chu Ruofu would add him on WeChat, but after so many days, she still hadn't, so he assumed she didn't want to and didn't ask about it.
He had followed Chu Ruofu in previous episodes, but she hasn't followed him back on Weibo yet. Of the four male guests, she has only followed Li Yichen back.
Gu Junsheng felt a little jealous. He knew that many celebrities' Weibo accounts were work accounts, and she rarely posted personal Weibo posts. Therefore, although he felt a little sour, he didn't demand that she follow him back.
During his work hours, he checked his phone several times until a new update popped up on his phone, confirming that she had landed safely in Haicheng. Only then did the worry in his heart finally subside.
When he first joined the dating reality show, he treated the recording as a job. He would clock in on time for the recording and leave in a hurry after the recording ended. Now he is looking forward to the next recording.
He desperately wanted to see her.
As soon as Chu Ruofu posted her Weibo, a certain sly fox's main account came online and liked her post.
She thought Li Yichen had accidentally liked the post, but he didn't unlike it, which caused quite a stir and made the Fuchen CP fans ecstatic.
[@Li Yichen, speak up!!!]
[So, Brother Li's been so active online lately because he's been watching Sister Fu.]
[We've told you all not to tag Li Yichen anymore, why are you still tagging him? It's so embarrassing for him.]
[You're still thinking about Fu Mei while filming? You're hopelessly love-struck.]
Li Yichen's like even made it to the trending topics list.
Chu Ruofu sent him a private message, asking him to unlike the post. The sly fox sent a sad little emoji, saying he didn't want to unlike it.
The likes have all been screenshotted by fans, so canceling them is useless.
Chu Ruofu closed her private messaging service and stopped replying to his messages.
After returning, they went to the company, where the boss was furious, saying that the two of them had wasted a good script and that they should have given it to other artists in the company.
As the two left the boss's office, Xue Fangfei and Chu Ruofu whispered to each other, "He wanted to give the script to the artists he wanted to promote, but they didn't like it. The director only cast you because you have popularity."
Chu Ruofu remained silent.
Directors and investors in the entertainment industry either look at the actors' abilities or their popularity and online traffic. If a boss wants to give the script to another artist, he simply can't. His strategy is to squeeze his artists into the production crew as supporting actors who get screen time.
Even supporting actors in popular IPs can get a job if they act well, which is why the boss got so angry this time after offending the director and investors in Beijing.
Two days passed quickly, and the fifth episode of the dating reality show was filmed in Suzhou, a city in the misty Jiangnan region.
Because the romantic dating reality show was so popular, the location of the last filming was exposed, and fans would come and wait for it day and night. For safety reasons, the production team replanned the filming content and changed the location.
Chu Ruofu used to spend most of her time filming in film studios. She has always loved ancient towns in China. This time, she was able to stay in Suzhou for two or three days while filming, and she was looking forward to seeing the beautiful scenery of Suzhou in person.
Suzhou doesn't have an airport, so Chu Ruofu took the high-speed train with her suitcase. As soon as she got off the train, the production team sent a car to pick her up, and she followed the cameraman as if he was carrying a camera to start filming.
After getting into the car, the cameraman filmed her greeting the audience.
Chu Ruofu was slightly taken aback, not expecting to start a live broadcast on the way. She gave the camera a faint smile.
Good afternoon, everyone.
Live stream chat:
[Ahhhhh, Fu-mei is so beautiful!]
This cheongsam is absolutely stunning, it suits Fumei perfectly.
[Fu Mei looks like she's wearing the beauty of Jiangnan on her body, she's absolutely gorgeous! The production team really knows how to film every episode of this dating reality show.]
[So beautiful! I want the link to the cheongsam the female lead is wearing.]
The car took Chu Ruofu to the gate of a garden-style courtyard with white walls, black tiles, and a carved wooden gate, which had the charm of an ancient town.
The gate was wide open, the courtyard was paved with bluestone tiles, planted with various potted plants, and filled with the fragrance of flowers. In the center of the courtyard was a stone table, and under the eaves was a large brown vat with duckweed floating on the surface and two small koi swimming around.
The exterior is a picturesque ancient town courtyard, while the interior features a simple and modern design, making it suitable for young people to live in.
The sound of people talking came from the living room. Chu Ruofu carried her suitcase up the steps, pushed open the door, and went inside.
The conversation abruptly stopped, and the guests' eyes were fixed on her.
