In order to prevent clandestine photography, most of the windows of celebrities' cars have opaque black films pasted on them, and Li Chenglang is no exception. Yi Xi was sitting in the child care car of the movie star, and as soon as she turned her head, she saw the dark glass. She couldn't even pretend to enjoy the scenery, and she was very sad.
Li Chenglang sat next to him and hadn't said a word since getting in the car. Yi Xi drank half a cup of hot water, and the pain eased a lot. At least she wasn't half dead anymore and could maintain a semblance of normality. She peeked halfway through the journey, seemingly unintentionally, only to find that the movie star, who had been resting his eyes, opened them at the same time as she passed by, his face a polite inquiry.
... This is embarrassing.
Yixi was bored, so she simply took out her phone and subconsciously logged onto Twitter. After doing this, she was startled, and let out a sigh of relief when she saw that there were no new message alerts.
"What's wrong?"
Yixi looked up, and Li Chenglang said, "I heard you sighing."
It wasn't a sigh, it was a sigh of relief. Yi Xi couldn't tell Li Chenglang that a few days ago, she had defended him online and left a comment under Jiang Yongcheng's last Twitter post. Somehow, it had unexpectedly become a trending topic, and she was shocked when she saw it when she got home from work the next day.
The first time she had been trending in her life, and it was because of this...
The other day, she kept getting notifications every now and then, either agreeing or arguing back. She picked the more sensible ones and ignored the rest. After the initial anger, these words no longer made her feel emotional. But tonight, Li Chenglang was right in front of her, and when she saw the Twitter feed, she couldn't help feeling guilty, as if she had done something bad.
Luckily, there were no comments, and it seemed that everyone had let her off the hook.
"No, it's just a bit stuffy in the car, so I took a breath," she said, looking for an excuse.
"Stuffy? Then open the window."
"No need, Mr. Li!" she quickly stopped him, 'there are reporters hiding in every corner outside, what if they take a picture?'
The words Xu Muzhou said that day were still ringing in her ears, who knew if those reporters who came to Hengdian to dig up 'drug use inside information' about Li Chenglang had left!
Li Chenglang looked at Yixi and suddenly smiled slightly, "Don't be so nervous. It's just a small matter, not worth shutting yourself in."
His tone was really too relaxed. Although Yixi had long since established the concept that "idols have excellent psychological quality and remain calm in the face of adversity," she couldn't help but feel confused at the moment.
"Teacher Li, can I ask you a question?"
"Go ahead."
"What kind of thing would you consider a big deal?"
As soon as the words came out, Yixi regretted it. Worried about being seen as a calculating girl clutching at straws, she had always maintained the most appropriate distance from Li Chenglang, except for the accident of taking the wrong script at the beginning. But tonight, probably because she wasn't feeling well, her guard had been relaxed, and she had actually asked such a question.
What's your relationship like, and you're asking about this! You're dead!
Just as she was thinking of how to take back her words, Li Chenglang calmly replied, "Well, if the news reports that I personally took drugs, that would be a big deal. Fortunately, they don't know."
Yixi blinked, confused by his serious expression.
What does this mean?
After three seconds of brain freeze, she finally heard laughter coming from the driver's seat in front of her, and then she realized that he had actually made a joke...
"Teacher Li, you're really... haha, don't scare Miss Yi!" Li Chenglang's assistant, Ah Lun, laughed while driving, 'Mrs. Liu Ji, don't worry, I assure you that His Highness absolutely has no bad habits. He is clean.'
It was all about Liu Ji and the crown prince again, and at the end there was even an English sentence. Yi Xi said that she hadn't heard such a confusing conversation recently, and her head was hurting, so she wanted to speak in Martian.
"Miss Yi, don't think too much. The internet is like that. Most people just follow the crowd and don't bother thinking. Teacher Li and Jiang Yongcheng are not friends at all, but outside it's been spread that they are close friends. I really admire that." This time it was Zhang Siqi's assistant Xiaoya who spoke, who had somehow followed them into the car.
"Speaking of which, Teacher Li, did you see that there was a comment under Jiang Yongcheng's Twitter post that I noticed when I was keeping an eye on things for you. The girl is very clever. She said that your relationship with Jiang Yongcheng is probably just a publicity stunt, and that you are just being used. The people in charge of the Tieba and the official website got together and organized people to push that comment to the top, saying that this is refuting the opponent at the source, which is much more brilliant than arguing. I think that makes a lot of sense." Ah Lun said, gesturing for Xiaoya to scroll to Jiang Yongcheng's Twitter post and show it to Li Chenglang. "Here, this is it."
The phone was handed over, and Yixi watched the comment as it appeared. The familiar ID and content were the same as the one she had seen on her own phone five minutes ago.
She wondered why it had suddenly become popular, and realized that it was the work of Li Chenglang's fans! Thank you all for your love, I can't accept it! ヽ(o`皿′o)
Li Chenglang took the phone and looked at it silently. Yi Xi was a little nervous, worrying that he would suddenly enter the homepage on a whim. Her stomach started to hurt again, probably from the shock. Yi Xi covered it with her right hand and listened to Xiaoya bantering in front of her, "'Litchi-loving round and plump', that's a pretty cute name. Teacher Li, if you can meet this girl, you must remember to buy her litchis to eat."
Cold sweat broke out in layers. She didn't notice before, but why is the name so embarrassing when read out loud? If she had known that Li Chenglang would see it, she would have picked a cooler ID!
Fortunately, a few seconds later, Li Chenglang returned Xiaoya's phone without commenting on this "smart girl". He just curved his lips up, his expression very soft.
Yixi lifted her cup and drank the rest of the hot water, waiting silently for the pain to subside. It was so exciting, looking at her Twitter in front of her idol. The feeling was amazing. Being an undercover agent is really not an easy job!
I must get the chance to act in a spy drama!
A small light was turned on in the car, and the orange glow added a little warmth to the atmosphere. Yi Xi looked at Lai Chenglang's profile and suddenly felt that the two of them had become closer. It turned out that they could also joke around, and she didn't have to be on constant alert.
"So, Mr. Lai, do you have any public relations strategies?" she asked, speaking as if she were chatting with a friend. "Do you want to keep silent forever?"
Lai Chenglang's smile did not change, "For now, silence is enough."
Yixi thought about it and agreed. In this situation, no matter what the person involved says, it will only add fuel to the fire. Even if he really goes for a test, some people will still doubt the results. And for a world-class actor to go for a drug test because of rumors is really damaging to his image. Even if it is proven that he is innocent, it will only make the matter known to the world.
"I've heard that too. Silence is often the best public relations, but it seems that very few people really do it. Why is that?"
"Why do you think so?" Li Chenglang asked in return.
Yi Xi rubbed his chin for a moment and suddenly smiled, "Maybe the client will feel that the public relations team is not doing its job and will not be happy to pay."
He laughed without saying anything, and Yi Xi, inexplicably emboldened, clicked on Twitter again while he wasn't looking and sent a new message using the account that had just been displayed.
Yuan Roulun, who loves lychees: Hengdian is truly a magical place. Tonight's performance is the Fantastic Journey of Juvenile Panta. (^-^)v
I was so nervous just now. How could he possibly know that this is her account? What's the point of being paranoid? I'm just going to do it anyway!
The nanny car suddenly stopped. Yi Xi thought they had arrived at the hotel, but on closer inspection, it didn't look like it. Li Chenglang said, "Even if the hotel has medicine, it's those special effects drugs, which are bad for your health. I've been to this clinic a few times before, and the traditional Chinese medicine is quite good. Let Xiaoya accompany you and have a look."
Yixi finally understood why Zhang Siqi's assistant had followed them. The two girls got out of the car, and Li Chenglang said to her from inside the car, "Director Tan is still waiting for me. Ah Lun will come back for you after he drops me off. Miss Yi..."
"Teacher Li, you can call me Yixi, no need to be so formal."
He readily agreed, "Okay, Yixi. After the doctor's appointment, if Ah Lun hasn't returned yet, wait inside. It's not safe at night, so don't wander off, you two girls."
In the darkness, his eyes shone like stars in Yixi's heart. She nodded, "I'll wait here for Ah Lun."
An hour later, Yi Xi lay on the hotel bed, her stomach feeling warm, and let out a long sigh of relief. Today had been really exhausting, and now she just hoped that the traditional Chinese medicine really worked and that she would feel no pain in the morning after taking the medicine.
"Oh no! Twitter!"
She screamed, rolled over and sat up. Damn, damn, damn, her IQ must have dropped tonight or something, because the tweet she posted earlier had actually mentioned Hengdian. She was currently a woman who wanted to hide her whereabouts!
She took out her phone and opened Twitter to see if there was any chance of redemption, but was surprised to discover that something didn't seem quite right.
"1055 new comments, 361 new followers, 223 new me."
...What's going on?
Yixi's first thought was that her little secret had been exposed, and her fans had finally come to find their idol. But then she immediately realized that she hadn't even debuted yet, so where would she have any fans?
What the heck! Could it be that Li Yingdi really noticed and found out about her? She didn't say anything that would give her away, so why is this happening to her?
Anxiously, she clicked on the comments and scrolled down to find that she couldn't understand a word they were saying:
"I heard the news and came over. It's true that Tian Rao is actually Li Yingdi. My mom asked me why I was on the roof with my phone! /(tot)/~~"
"So, this is the legendary main wife, an underground affair? No, I've only just fallen in love, and my boyfriend is about to expose his real girlfriend?"
"I must have opened Twitter the wrong way. I've decided to go to bed first, maybe this Twitter post will have disappeared when I wake up tomorrow. [Bye bye][Bye bye]"
"Are you kidding me? Can you stop making up stories? A like can't mean anything, the boss has flipped the fan sign before! Think about the consequences of what you say!"
"Those who say that likes don't mean anything, boss, you can tell from the number of likes in the past whether it's related to you or work. This one obviously doesn't fit either! And how do you explain the first comment!"
"Despite all the analysis from upstairs, I just don't want to believe it!!!"
...
Yixi keenly found the key in the midst of the bickering, and went straight to the end of the comments to see the expected id.
"You've come to Hengdian too? Ah, you're not here to meet someone, are you!"
Yixi's vision went dark, and she gritted her teeth as she scrolled through the list of likes. Fortunately, although the comments were lively, there were very few people who had liked them, and she saw that name at once.
Xu Muzhou liked this Twitter post.
