Chapter 64 Tell the Truth
"Script reading?" Chu Yunshu was stunned for only a second, then he reacted immediately, "I passed?"
The light in his eyes was dancing, and his usually calm face was showing a rare youthful spirit, very bright.
Seeing Ji Heng nod, Chu Yunshu was visibly happy.
This was the first time he achieved success through his own efforts and got the opportunity to work.
He had never had such an experience in Nanyu Kingdom.
He took a step forward and wanted to say something, but his feet slipped. However, he did not fall. Ji Heng held his shoulders firmly and stabilized him.
The minty scent became more obvious, and Chu Yunshu actually found it a little addictive.
The assistant who came to look for someone suddenly stopped and looked at the two people "hugging" each other not far away, hesitating whether to go forward.
After Chu Yunshu stood firmly, Ji Heng released his hands on his arms.
"Thank you." For some reason, Chu Yunshu suddenly felt his ears a little hot.
Ji Heng stared at his chubby, red earlobes under the light and curled his lips. Then he turned his gaze to the assistant not far away: "My brother is looking for me?"
"Yes, President Ji wants to discuss something with you." Ji Chen's assistant Dong Yi said.
"Let's go." Ji Heng took two steps forward, then stopped and looked behind him. "Are you here with Lin Yang?"
Lin Yang was probably the only one among the senior executives of Yao Shi Entertainment who received the invitation letter.
Ji Heng’s eyes darkened.
"No." Chu Yunshu took two steps forward and stood next to Ji Heng again. The evening breeze blew gently, stirring the not-too-hot air of early summer and bringing the fragrance to the whole garden.
"I came here with Director He of 'The Journey of Music'." Chu Yunshu felt that he was too close to Ji Heng, but he did not step away. The faint minty scent was too intoxicating. He had never smelled this scent when he was in Nanyu Country, but he always had an indescribable sense of familiarity.
He couldn't explain his feelings towards Ji Heng, but it was undeniable that he wanted to be close to him.
This realization made Chu Yunshu feel a little dangerous. Who is Ji Heng? He is a popular actor who has won the Grand Slam at a young age and has fans all over the world.
He is also the second son of the Ji Group and the most beloved younger brother of Ji Chen, the head of the Ji family.
The grandson that the old man of the Leng family holds in his heart is his two uncles, both of whom are high-ranking politicians.
Such a gifted child of destiny... Chu Yunshu certainly wouldn't feel that he was unworthy. He wasn't really the Chu Yunshu from a poor family, he was the emperor of the Nanyu Kingdom, Chu Yunshu.
Even if he is a puppet emperor, he is still an emperor.
The confidence and pride that comes with royal blood will not make him feel that he is not worthy of anyone.
He felt dangerous because of some uncontrollable emotion.
After being betrayed, he should no longer have any possibility of developing feelings for other people.
However, facing Ji Heng, whether it was because he felt that he could sense the shadow of Qi Xiubai in him, or because he had the urge to get closer to him after actual contact, he felt dangerous.
But in order to find an opportunity to travel through the book, he had to get close to Ji Heng.
The plot of the original book has deviated too much from reality. Chu Yunshu doesn't know whether the story will develop according to the original book. Lin Yang has obviously lost his patience, and Helian Jie is also eyeing him covetously.
He didn't have much time and had to find the connection between this book and the Kingdom of Nanyu as soon as possible.
"I heard that you might come, so I asked him to bring me here."
I can't think of a better reason for now, so I'll just tell the truth.
Sometimes it's more useful to just play it straight than to rack your brain to come up with a so-called perfect reason.
At least it works for Qi Xiubai. Chu Yunshu is betting that there is some connection between Ji Heng and Qi Xiubai.
Dong Yi who was standing next to them was slightly startled, but his good professionalism prevented him from looking at the two with an inquiring gaze. Instead, he tried to reduce his presence as much as possible.
Ji Heng's eyes grew deeper in the night, and the silence that suddenly spread between the two of them left room for only the cold silver light.
Chu Yunshu looked at Ji Heng with a frank gaze. In his watery eyes, besides the bright moon, there was also the person in front of him.
"Is it because of the jade pendant?" Ji Heng spoke, his deep and sexy voice rolling with a touch of warmth, like a piece of fine jade slowly warming in his hand.
"Yeah." Chu Yunshu nodded.
He couldn't see through Ji Heng, just like he didn't see through Qi Xiubai at the beginning.
At that time, he still had the identity of an emperor, which allowed him to spy on this person at will, but now, the gap between their identities was too big, and playing tricks obviously wouldn't work in front of Ji Heng.
However, he did not expect that the result would be a blessing in disguise. So many people found various reasons and excuses to get close to Ji Heng but never succeeded. Only Chu Yunshu was approached, and Ji Heng did not refuse him.
"Let's go. You should be able to receive a notice in two days. I'll come find you during the script reading."
Dong Yi on the side finally looked up at Chu Yunshu. There was still no expression on his face, but the shock in his eyes lingered for a long time.
This person is not ordinary.
He finally came to this conclusion.
After being with Ji Chen for a long time, I also got to know his younger brother Ji Heng, whom he loved very much. In Dong Yi's impression, this was the first time that Ji Heng was so gentle and patient towards someone who took the initiative to approach him, and he did not refuse.
The two separated in front of the banquet building, and Chu Yunshu returned to the banquet hall. The charity performance had ended and a charity sale was now underway.
Everyone who attended the dinner brought something to auction.
Here, a painting or calligraphy by an unknown artist can be sold for millions, and a doodle by a boss's child can also be sold for millions.
Money is just a number.
Chu Yunshu came as Helian Jie's companion, and when the banquet began, his seat was naturally arranged next to Helian Jie.
They are all a group of bigwigs and celebrities, well-dressed, speak with discretion, and treat people very gently. The higher the status, the kinder one is.
The atmosphere was unexpectedly good. Everyone who came to toast, and whom Helianjie took with him to toast, was very friendly to him and called him "Xiao Chu" all the time.
Even Qi Zhao toasted him with two glasses.
"I'm actually quite upset. My boyfriend took you everywhere to toast all night and introduced you to connections. Why?"
He drank a lot and his tongue was curled, but fortunately his words were still clear.
Chu Yunshu really felt sorry about this.
"You must drink this glass of wine tonight. You used my boyfriend, you have to apologize to me!"
Chu Yunshu had already drunk quite a bit, and his eyes were hazy. He stared at Qi Zhao with slightly squinted eyes. A casual glance at him revealed all kinds of charm.
Lin Yang, who was not far away, was paying attention to the movement here. Helian Jie held his shoulders and turned around: "Don't worry, I promise to get things done for you tonight."
Helianjie came here on behalf of Mr. He and has a special lounge.
Chu Yunshu was taken into a very spacious room with a big bed. The staff member who supported him put him on the bed, then turned off the lights and left.
The room soon fell into darkness. The soundproofing was very good, and the hustle and bustle outside was isolated in another world by the door.
