Chapter 34



The sudden deep kiss, with a strong smell of alcohol, followed Chu Xiu's breathing, arrogantly penetrated into her internal organs and hit her heart, causing her brain to stop functioning temporarily as if it was lacking blood supply, making her unable to think.

It was not until Lu Yuanzhou let go of her, raised his head and looked at her with a dazed look that was a bit drunk that Chu Xiu suddenly came to her senses. Without saying a word, she grabbed the handbag next to her and smashed it into his face.

Lu Yuanzhou was still savoring this wonderful deep kiss. It felt so good, a thousand times better than he had imagined. So good that he wanted to do it again. But before he could do anything, he felt a pain in his nose and a briefcase fell on him.

Due to the effect of alcohol, his movements were slower than usual. When he raised his hand, he only had time to catch the fallen bag.

"It hurts." He frowned, holding the purse in his hand, and did not dare to return it to her, for fear that she would hit it again. After thinking about it, he simply stuffed the purse behind his back and confiscated it.

Chu Xiu stepped back, pressed against the car door, and maximized the distance between them. She said unhappily, "It's good that you feel the pain. Who told you to act like a hooligan?!"

Lu Yuanzhou narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "I just finished what you didn't finish last time. How can I be considered a hooligan?"

Chu Xiu was stunned for a moment, and quickly remembered that during the Chinese New Year, she had indeed taken the initiative to sit on Lu Yuanzhou's lap and said she wanted to teach him how to kiss deeply, but in the end she didn't dare to finish it.

It had been so long since this happened that Chu Xiu had completely forgotten about it. She had never expected that he would take advantage of his drunkenness today to bring up the old matter again and do what she had not dared to do.

Chu Xiu didn't know whether to be angry with him or slap herself. In the end, she could only turn her head and look out the window, sulking in solitude.

The car slowly drove away from the hotel's underground garage, and the city's glamorous night scene immediately jumped into view, confusing her vision. Chu Xiu had been busy with the crew during this period of time, and almost forgot about the bright lights and prosperity. She was stunned for a moment.

It was not until she felt someone pinching her hand on her knees that she came to her senses and turned to look at the man next to her.

Lu Yuanzhou was seen half lying on the armrest, with his eyes closed and his lips pursed, but he stretched out his arm to pull her hand.

Chu Xiu's mood was like riding a roller coaster, sometimes high and sometimes low.

No matter how upset I was, in the end, his gentle grip turned it all into a sigh.

In fact, she knew very well in her heart that she was angry with herself. She was angry at herself for not being able to control her own heart.

The next day was Lu Yuanzhou's last day in Xicheng. Although his trip seemed to have no results, there were actually some breakthroughs. He confessed his love to Chu Xiu and kissed her deeply. Although his love was rejected and his deep kiss was interrupted, at least Chu Xiu knew that his feelings had changed.

Chu Xiu had to rush to the crew early in the morning, so Lu Yuanzhou did not stay in bed and got up with her. This diligence surprised Chu Xiu.

"You can sleep until you wake up naturally, have breakfast, and then come to the crew to find me. You will have nothing to do there anyway." Chu Xiu said.

Lu Yuanzhou put on his clothes with a frown on his face. After thinking for a while, he turned around and asked her, "I said I want to fall in love with you, but you don't believe me?"

Chu Xiu casually tied her hair into a ponytail, with no makeup on her face. Her skin was fair, tender and smooth, and the breath of youth permeated every cell of her.

When he brought up this topic, Chu Xiu stopped what she was doing, folded her arms, looked at him seriously and said, "I actually have a question."

Lu Yuanzhou said: "If you have any questions, just ask."

Chu Xiu thought for a moment and said, "You want to have a relationship with me, is it because you think I'm good and simply like me, or is it because I can cure your illness that you like me?"

Lu Yuanzhou was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is there any difference between the two?"

In his view, there is no conflict between the two.

But Chu Xiu's idea was obviously different from his. She said, "Have you ever thought about this: if one day, I suddenly can no longer help you relieve your headaches or cure your insomnia, will you still like me then? What do you like about me?"

Lu Yuanzhou walked a few steps to her, suddenly raised his hand and tapped her forehead lightly, saying: "Are you stupid? I want to fall in love with your person, what does this have to do with your special ability? Don't you think there is nothing else worth liking about you?"

Chu Xiu: ...

Lu Yuanzhou raised his eyebrows, "Do you really think so?"

Chu Xiu said: "Of course not, I am beautiful, have a good figure, a good personality, and good acting skills..."

"Stop!" Lu Yuanzhou hurriedly stopped her, "You should be moderate in your praise of yourself. Since you are so nice, isn't it normal for me to want to fall in love with you?"

Chu Xiu: ...

Although she thought what Lu Yuanzhou said made sense, Chu Xiu felt that she still couldn't open up to him. Maybe she was getting stuck in a dead end.

Lu Yuanzhou also had nothing to do on the set. The weather was too cold and he was freezing, but he said confidently that people in love should be together all the time, right? Besides, he had to go back to South City in the evening, so he had to spend more time together.

Chu Xiu was too lazy to pay attention to him. She hadn't even nodded in agreement yet, but he was already talking so enthusiastically.

At noon, Chu Xiu learned that a platform was coming to do an exclusive interview with Gu Qinghe and temporarily borrowed the lounge. During her lunch break, Chu Xiu went to the dressing room with Lu Yuanzhou.

Lu Yuanzhou sat in the director's monitoring studio one morning to watch Chu Xiu filming. Although the studio could shelter him from the wind, his ears were still frozen red. Chu Xiu said nothing, but turned around and asked Ran Ran to get her hat and scarf, and put them on Lu Yuanzhou herself. Both the hat and scarf were gray, and the style was very simple. Lu Yuanzhou did not reject them, and even after putting them on, he took out his mobile phone to take a selfie with Chu Xiu.

Chu Xiu was still wearing makeup and was reluctant at first, but suddenly she remembered that this might be the first selfie for the two of them, so she didn't refuse. The last time they took a photo together was a wedding photo.

After Lu Yuanzhou took a selfie for the two of them, he looked at his phone. After a while, he handed it to Chu Xiu and asked, "How do you fix the desktop?"

Chu Xiu held his phone and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Lu Yuanzhou was not shy and said, "When you are in love, don't you put your phone full of your partner's photos?"

Is this the routine?

Chu Xiu curled her lips and said, "No, this photo is so heavily made-up, it's not me, you are not allowed to put it up there."

Lu Yuanzhou pressed the issue further, saying, "Then send me a photo of yourself."

Chu Xiu glared and said, "No, did I agree to be your girlfriend? I will be your mobile wallpaper!"

Lu Yuanzhou frowned, "Forget it if you don't want to give it to me. I'll just use this one. It's even better if others can't recognize it's you. Then I can tell anyone that this is my boss, my wife."

Chu Xiu: ...

It seems like no matter what I do, I’m always taken advantage of.

After finishing the interview with Gu Qinghe, he personally invited Lu Yuanzhou and Chu Xiu back to the lounge because the heating there was more sufficient.

"Mr. Lu, I'm really sorry for taking up everyone's lounge. I have no choice. This interview was agreed upon a long time ago, but it has been delayed until now," Gu Qinghe explained.

Lu Yuanzhou behaved one way when he was with Chu Xiu, and another way when he was with outsiders. He waved his hand generously and said, "It doesn't matter where we rest."

Although he said this, he still quickly took Chu Xiu into the lounge. Although Chu Xiu was wearing a lot of clothes, she still looked a little thin in his opinion.

That night, Lu Yuanzhou caught a late flight back to South City. Chu Xiu finally decided not to stay at the villa. She felt that without Lu Yuanzhou, there was no point in living there.

It was a pretty peaceful day, but the next day Chu Xiu was inexplicably on the hot search list.

The main reason lies with Gu Qinghe.

As a national film emperor, Gu Qinghe naturally has many fans. Before he joined the crew of "Red Beauty", he happened to participate in a very popular reality show and gained a lot of popularity. The platform that came to do an exclusive interview yesterday was one of the investors of this reality show.

The interview was broadcast on the platform last night. Since it was on the set of "The Beauty's Wrath", Gu Qinghe also took the opportunity to advertise for the crew to increase its popularity.

Perhaps the reality show and platform were behind the scenes to help, as this interview with Gu Qinghe quickly became a hot topic, and fans came out in droves to flatter the actor.

Up to this point, everything seemed normal. After the interview, Gu Qinghe followed the host out of the lounge. When passing by the dressing room next to it, the camera flashed by in two seconds, but he actually captured a couple taking selfies with their mobile phones.

At first, no one paid attention to this two-second shot, thinking it was a crew member. But soon, sharp-eyed netizens recognized the woman as Chu Xiu, the heroine of "The Beauty's Wrath". She was easy to identify because she was wearing a costume. As for the man next to Chu Xiu, who was wearing a hat and a scarf, he was impossible to identify for a while.

So the crowd started discussing who was the man who took an intimate selfie with Chu Xiu?

The official platform also discovered the problem quickly and cut the two-second video immediately, but it was too late to remedy the situation as the video had already been screenshot by many netizens.

Not only did they take screenshots, they also quickly discovered that this man looked very much like the president of the Lu Group!

It was in this way that Chu Xiu was made a hot topic by Gu Qinghe thanks to a two-second shot.

Because she had been on the hot search list before because of Gu Qinghe, netizens soon came to her Weibo to scold her, saying that she was endlessly riding on Gu Qinghe's popularity.

When Ran Ran checked Weibo, she was scared to death. The usually quiet Weibo was suddenly flooded with a bunch of fans who cursed at her. As she read on, her eyes turned red with grievance. She held up her phone and asked Chu Xiu what to do.

Gu Qinghe was naturally the first to learn about this. Wiping his cold sweat, he came over to apologize to Chu Xiu and said that he had asked his agent to do public relations. He told her not to get angry and not to complain to President Lu, otherwise he would probably die a miserable death.

But in fact, even if Chu Xiu did not go to complain to President Lu, President Lu would know about it, because the new studio he invested in Chu Xiu was already operating normally. Although the new agent had not had time to take office, her information had already begun to be shared with Lu Yuanzhou.

When Chu Xiu was brought to the hot search by Gu Qinghe, the agent immediately informed Lu Yuanzhou and asked for his opinion.

The new agent's surname is Lan and her given name is Hua. She is a woman in her fifties. She used to be an ace agent in the largest entertainment company. However, due to the fierce factional struggle within the company, she decisively withdrew and was subsequently recruited by Dong Dongjian.

Lan Hua asked Lu Yuanzhou on the phone: "I am going to fly to Xicheng today to formally meet Chu Xiu. Should I deal with this matter after I go to see her, or should I deal with it first and then go to see her?"

Lu Yuanzhou said: "This is not difficult to handle. Let's solve it first and then go see her. How are you going to deal with it?"

Lan Hua said: "The easiest way is to clarify, half-truthfully, and admit that you were an investor visiting the set and happened to take a photo with Chu Xiu, that's all."

Lu Yuanzhou tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Go and talk to Du Song about buying a few trending searches."

Lan Hua couldn't figure out what he was doing for a moment, "Buying hot searches?"

Lu Yuanzhou said: "Yes, buy a few more."
