Because they were all in the same circle, Wei Changfeng occasionally met He Xiaomei and Du Shuang, attending various events or award ceremonies, but he hadn't seen Li Ang from the drama circle for two years.
Liu Liang, who failed to get into Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama and spent several years working on film sets before changing careers, hadn't seen anyone except Du Shuang for three or four years.
Du Shuang is more charming now than she was back then, possessing a beauty and allure reminiscent of the young Hong Kong star Cherie Chung.
He Xiaomei has hardly changed from back then; she's still the same innocent and pure young woman. Of course, her clothes, makeup, and style are much more fashionable than before.
Li Ang still had that upright and dignified appearance, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, only he was a bit fairer and his features looked better than before.
The biggest change is in Liu Liang. He's not even thirty yet, but he already has a bit of a beer belly, and his hairstyle is greasy.
Fortunately, he had a good foundation, a height of 1.8 meters, and a fairly handsome face. After all, he wanted to make a living in the entertainment industry back then, so how bad could he be?
Moreover, with his expensive-looking suit, he really did have the air of a business elite, which was different from the general public in the entertainment industry.
Everyone was in high spirits after being reunited after a long separation. Because Wei Changfeng has difficulty moving around, the gathering was held at his home, which also matches the statement from Du Shuang and the others that He Xiaomei went to his home on the 14th to discuss the details of the reunion after the New Year.
Liu Liang, in particular, reacted strongly, hugging this person one minute and that person the next, constantly saying:
"Oh, I knew it from the beginning that out of the five of us, the other four of you would become famous! But I never expected you to become so popular in just a few years!"
He Xiaomei smiled gently and said frankly, "Only those two are famous. Li Ang and I aren't really famous."
Wei Changfeng glanced at Li Ang discreetly; Li Ang was expressionless, at least not displeased.
Perhaps it was because he didn't mind Xiao Mei's words, or perhaps it was because Xiao Mei was the one who said them that he didn't mind. Because Xiao Mei could be considered the white rose in his heart, and Li Ang knew that she was pure-hearted and had no ill intentions.
“You’re all famous,” Liu Liang said. “You’re all big stars. I’ve seen all your works. I’ve even seen Li Ang’s play.”
This statement surprised Li Ang, and he raised his eyebrows.
Seeing that he was so surprised that he could hardly believe it, Liu Liang said, "It's true. I went to see you perform in 'The Death of Qu Yuan' a couple of years ago."
I was planning to go backstage to find you after it was over, but then I saw two or three girls waiting with bouquets of flowers. I looked down and realized I was empty-handed—I'd even forgotten to buy a bouquet!—so I was too embarrassed to go find you.
As if he had received some kind of approval and comfort, Li Ang said, "We're like family, why would I need to bring anything? Next time you have an important performance, leave your address and I'll send you tickets! I'll send you a lot!"
"Hehe, that's great!" Liu Liang was also very happy. This way, he would have something to brag about in the team, and he could also give the tickets as a perk to his subordinates.
Whether they are willing to go see the play is another matter, but at least it demonstrates his leadership ability and care for his subordinates.
Du Shuang brought very high-end Lafite red wine, and Liu Liang brought Moutai, urging everyone to drink until they were completely drunk.
Li Ang said he couldn't drink to protect his voice, and He Xiaomei added, "We were photographed by paparazzi last time. If we all go out drunk this time and get photographed looking like that, then all our efforts to clear our names will be wasted."
Liu Liang joked, "Xiao Mei, does this mean you're admitting it? Otherwise, how can it be called 'whitewashing'? Just tell me what your relationship is. I may be a real estate agent, but I'm not a blabbermouth."
"Liu Liang, stop joking with us. You have no idea what kind of life we've been living these past few days. We've been getting scolded a lot, from the company to netizens," Wei Changfeng said.
“That’s right, stop teasing them.” Li Ang also came to their rescue, glancing at He Xiaomei as he spoke.
However, He Xiaomei's gaze remained fixed on Wei Changfeng, and as Li Ang watched, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.
In fact, everyone knew that He Xiaomei had always had a crush on Wei Changfeng, after all, that girl couldn't hide her feelings at all.
However, the two are now quite different in their careers, especially Wei Changfeng, who is currently very popular and has many female fans, so he is someone you absolutely cannot afford to offend.
Even if you're really in a relationship, you should keep it a secret until the day you can't hide it anymore, let alone something that's purely fabricated like this, which you absolutely cannot admit to.
The gathering of five people was actually more than five. Du Shuang brought an assistant, and Wei Changfeng's side also included Xiao Hao and Zhao Hui, ostensibly to help with cooking and occasionally take photos. In reality, their main job was to keep records.
The reason why a professional photographer was not invited was because this was a relatively private gathering. Zhao Hui was worried that everyone would talk too much, so he and Xiao Hao took the stage themselves.
Although her skills may not be as good as those of professional photographers, she has been around celebrities for so long that she has already been trained in these skills.
These photos are not just for documenting the beautiful friendship between the group, but also for tomorrow's public release.
After taking about twenty photos, Wei Changfeng waved his hand and said, "That's enough, isn't it? It's been a long time. Let's all have a good chat and relax."
Female celebrities still pay more attention to their image. Du Shuang and He Xiaomei both checked Zhao Hui's photos and made him delete those that they thought were taken at bad angles. They also told him to retouch them again before publishing.
Liu Liang, who has been away from the entertainment industry for several years, laughed upon seeing this and said that he really is a star, always demanding of himself.
He no longer cares about his appearance and has gained a lot of weight. If it weren't for his height and good looks, he would have become a greasy middle-aged man.
