Sheng Ziyou smiled, nodded, waved, and left them.
Unbeknownst to her, no sooner had she left than a girl excitedly ran into the airport—
“Where’s Youbao?!”
“She’s already left.”
Chen Yingjia looked pained and wailed, “Oh, my Youbao! I haven’t seen her again!”
At this moment, someone started sharing the candy that Sheng Ziyou had given them. So Chen Yingjia squeezed in and also got six candies.
On the bus.
“Sister You, no wonder you asked me to buy candy. Did you know they would be picking us up at the airport?” Yang Yun asked curiously.
Sheng Ziyou shook her head: “I didn’t know, but I just prepared in advance.”
Looking at her, Yang Yun felt a warmth in her heart for no reason. A person who always keeps their fans in mind is someone worth supporting…
“Chen Yingjia! Where have you run off to again?!” Father Chen glared at Chen Yingjia.
Mother Chen added, “Your cousin is here, everyone’s waiting for you to eat!”
“Why is he here again?” Chen Yingjia didn’t mean anything by it; it’s just that Lu Jiangyuan used to come to her house very infrequently.
He just came last time, why was he here again?
Hearing this, Mr. Chen raised his hand, as if to hit her.
Chen Yingjia just ran away.
After dinner, Chen Yingjia returned to her room and savored a piece of candy.
Just then, Lu Jiangyuan knocked on the door again.
“Enter–“
Lu Jiangyuan came in with a stern face, but his eyes looked somewhat embarrassed, as if he didn’t know how to start the conversation.
“You like sweets?”
He felt it was better to start a conversation before asking.
“I don’t like this candy, but I love these six! Youbao gave them to me!”
“Youbao?”
“I love Sheng Ziyou!” Chen Yingjia proudly raised her chin.
Lu Jiangyuan stared at the five candies on the table, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
“What do you want from me?” Chen Yingjia asked curiously.
Lu Jiangyuan thought for a moment and asked, “How do you chat with people on social media?”
“Huh?” Chen Yingjia was completely bewildered.
Lu Jiangyuan looked at her intently, clearly waiting patiently for an answer.
“Are you familiar?”
He thought for a moment and nodded: “Familiar.”
“Then just say it! Say whatever you want!”
Lu Jiangyuan hesitated for a moment, then asked, “Do you really think I can say whatever I want?”
“Of course, if you’re close, you can say whatever you want!” Chen Yingjia said earnestly.
Lu Jiangyuan nodded, indicating that he understood.
“I’ll go find a box.” Chen Yingjia remembered that she should keep the candy, so she stood up and carefully searched for it.
Lu Jiangyuan left.
A moment later, Chen Yingjia found a box, looked at the table, and froze.
Chen Yingjia: “!”
One was missing!
She hugged the box and started searching on the ground.
Half an hour later, she searched the whole house but couldn’t find the missing candy.
“That’s strange, where did it go?”
In the car, Zhao Jing told Sheng Ziyou about her work plan.
“There are two good magazines. I talked to them for you and we got the deals. When they let us know, we’ll adjust our schedule and go there for the shoot,” Zhao Jing said.
Sheng Ziyou nodded: “Okay.”
“There’s another TV series and a web series that I turned down for you; they weren’t very good.”
“Yes, that’s fine.”
“There’s another good variety show. You can record an episode as a guest next Monday. That shouldn’t conflict with your schedule, right?”
Sheng Ziyou thought for a moment and said, “It doesn’t conflict, so it’s fine.”
“Okay.” Zhao Jing indicated that she understood, and then said, “You still need to film. I’ll wait and see if there are any suitable scripts so we can finalize something sooner. If there aren’t any suitable ones, we’ll just have to wait. But once this boy band show ends, you’ll have to start filming.”
“Yes.” Sheng Ziyou nodded. Indeed, she was an actress, and only by acting could she truly become famous.
Complete the leap from second-tier to first-tier.
“Are both modern dramas and period dramas acceptable?”
“It will be all right.”
“OK.”
Zhao Jing took Sheng Ziyou to the boy group selection competition program. It was already very late. Zhao Jing did not get out of the car, but Yang Yun followed Sheng Ziyou up.
“Go to bed early tonight. I’ll call you if I need anything tomorrow. If not, just get some rest.”
“Okay, goodnight, Youbao.”
“Good night,” Sheng Ziyou said as she walked upstairs.
She didn’t get much sleep last night, and she had to catch a late flight back today, so she was still quite tired.
But Sheng Ziyou still did her duty and went to the practice room.
Gu Yuzheng and the others were thrilled by her return.
“Teacher Sheng!!”
“Hey, I’m back! How are you all doing?”
“The progress is quite fast. Please take a look tomorrow and see if we need any further changes.” Gu Yuzheng wiped his sweat.
After only two days apart, Sheng Ziyou noticed that the trainees had lost weight again.
Compared to when they first joined the training program, they’ve lost so much weight. These kids… they’re working so hard.
“Okay.” Sheng Ziyou nodded. “You guys should get some rest too. I’m going upstairs to sleep.”
“Okay! Goodnight, Teacher Sheng!” The students saw her off.
Before Sheng Ziyou had gone far, she heard Gu Yuzheng calling out the rhythm, and she shook her head with a smile.
These teenagers…
There were six practice rooms in total. Sheng Ziyou stopped when she passed the last practice room.
There was a person sitting inside with their back to the door.
The door opened a crack, and Sheng Ziyou knocked gently. The person turned around and asked, “Who is it?”
Sheng Ziyou pushed open the door, and Feng Yuanxuan stood up in surprise: “Teacher Sheng?”
“Why are you here all alone? Where are your team members?” Sheng Ziyou asked softly, with concern in her voice.
Feng Yuanxuan looked up and scratched his head: “They’re practicing dancing in the practice room. I’ll stay here quietly for a while to revise the song.”
“Your song is wrong?” Sheng Ziyou asked in surprise.
Feng Yuanxuan nodded: “Hmm, it’s not particularly suitable for energetic dances. I might have to rewrite it.”
“Alright then, I’ll be going now. You should get some rest too.” Sheng Ziyou smiled.
Feng Yuanxuan stood up, somewhat embarrassed: “Okay, thank you, Teacher Sheng.”
His notebook fell to the ground. He quickly picked it up, his face slightly flushed, and said, “Goodnight, Teacher Sheng.”
“Goodnight.” Sheng Ziyou couldn’t help but smile.
Sure enough, these energetic and adorable young men really made people happy.
She closed the door as she left, leaving it slightly ajar as when she had opened it.
After Sheng Ziyou left, Feng Yuanxuan patted his face; it was quite hot, clearly indicating that he had blushed.
“Feng Yuanxuan, Feng Yuanxuan, what are you so nervous about!”
He sat down, picked up his pen again, and after a while, continued to feel frustrated.
“Oh dear, I finally had a chance to ask Professor Sheng for advice, how could I forget everything in such a moment of passion?!”
He tapped his head with his pen: “Feng Yuanxuan, you idiot!”
Sheng Ziyou returned to her room, quickly washed up, and lay down on the bed.
After a long and tiring journey these past two days, she could finally get a good night’s sleep.
The moment the thought crossed her mind, Sheng Ziyou scoffed. When did she become so lazy?
The workload these past two days wasn’t even considered heavy. If it were like this before, she definitely wouldn’t feel busy at all.
Indeed, once people become lazy, they easily develop inertia.
She reached out to turn off the light when her phone vibrated slightly – a message from her alternate account.
Sheng Ziyou wasn’t planning to reply, but the message was like this—
[Lu You: I hope you won’t get too close to the boy group trainees.]
“!” Sheng Ziyou exclaimed in surprise.
This person knows that grapefruit is me?!
Is this the only person who knows? Or does everyone in the group know as well?
Sheng Ziyou took a deep breath. Sure enough, her manager in her past life was right. She shouldn’t have been using a fake account to go around like that. Sooner or later, someone would expose her true identity!
She began to think about how she had been exposed and how she should respond.
Lu Jiangyuan on the other end of the phone began to feel uneasy.
Why hasn’t she replied yet?
Isn’t it said that acquaintances can say whatever they want?
Why isn’t she replying?
Didn’t she see it?
Or… does she not want to reply?
[Grapefruit: What… are you saying?]
Yes, Sheng Ziyou had decided to play dumb!
There was no reply for a long time. It wasn’t until Sheng Ziyou was sleepy that the other person finally said something—
[Lu You: Goodnight.]
Sheng Ziyou: “…” What the hell does this mean?!
She didn’t reply, tossed her phone aside, and lay down to sleep.
She didn’t do anything bad with her alternate account, nor did she post anything she shouldn’t have said. What’s there to be afraid of?
So, Sheng Ziyou lay down and went to sleep with a clear conscience.
After sleeping for a full ten hours, Sheng Ziyou woke up the next morning and picked up her phone to check the time.
But she was so shocked by just a casual glance that she sat up abruptly.
What happened?!
