Chapter 19 Gossip

If I had to find a culprit for the scandal, it would be me.

If I had looked at other people's Weibo a little more before posting that Weibo, I wouldn't have posted an almost identical photo of the church a few minutes after Lin Lixiang had just posted it.

And when we were hanging out, passers-by secretly took photos and posted them on the Internet.

When the two coincidences are added together, it becomes conclusive evidence.

And Wang Ruien hates two things the most, one is that the actors are not diligent, and the other is that the actors are involved in gossip.He regards movies as his life, so he can't tolerate any contamination.

Everyone scrambled to eat food, laughed and competed for wine, and there was no family around on New Year's Eve, so there was only so much fun in the bitterness.

But Lin Lixiang and I were sitting on pins and needles, and Wang Ruien kept a straight face, neither looking at us nor eating much. After a while, he left the table alone.

"I'm sorry," I said to Lin Lixiang, "I really didn't see the one you sent..."

"It's not your fault. If you had posted it first, I probably wouldn't have seen it either."

"Do you want to explain to Director Wang?" Although the two of us were on the news together, after all, Lin Lixiang is an actor, and he has to watch the director's face every day at work. Life is much more difficult than mine. Thinking that he rescued me before, I feel righteous Said, "Why don't I talk to Director Wang!"

"No need." He looked much calmer than me.

"You still have to continue filming tomorrow, can this work?"

"Director Wang doesn't like scandals in the crew, but he will definitely not let these things affect the filming."

I think it makes sense, but my heart is still not at ease.After finishing the meal with a hasty smile, everyone waited happily for twelve o'clock, and I went back to the room first.

My mother just called and chatted a lot.Fortunately, she seldom watches entertainment news, so she doesn't know about my affair with Lin Lixiang, otherwise she would scold me bloody.

The phone was filled with all kinds of mass New Year greeting messages, and many people came to inquire about the news gossipingly.

I looked online again, and some media found out the bet I made for Guan Guwei and netizens during the singing competition a few months ago, and mentioned that I recorded VCR for Guan Guwei's new album launch last month, It's a good way to say that I'm between two men.

I'm just going crazy.

It's New Year's Eve, I don't know what Li Hua will think when he sees this.

He didn't contact me, and he didn't even send a happy new year. I don't know if he was too busy to see the news, or he was angry.

I picked up the phone to dial his number, but hesitated for a long time before his name.

Finally I put down my phone, grabbed my clothes, and took a good shower in the bathroom.

When he came out, there were two text messages in his phone, one was a group sending blessings as usual, and the other was from Mo Xiaoyun.

I replied to Mo Xiaoyun, then my heart broke and I dialed Li Hua's number.

"Hey."

He answered it too quickly, and I was caught off guard: "Kaihua..."

"Ah."

He responded briefly, without any emotion, and the call fell into a brief silence.

Sure enough, I'm still angry...

I took a deep breath and apologized to him in a soft voice: "Did you see the news? They wrote nonsense, don't be angry..."

"I see, I'm not angry."

"Oh..." I couldn't tell if he was telling the truth, "You seem a little cold, so I thought you were angry."

There was a smile in his voice: "Ruoqi, I was watching TV with my parents outside just now, and now I'm in the room."

"Oh..." He really didn't sound like he was angry, and I breathed a sigh of relief, "The crew is on vacation today, I was wandering outside by myself, and I just happened to meet Li Xiang, and we walked together for a while. Post the picture of the church I didn’t meet him when I posted it, and I didn’t read it carefully when I posted it, so I don’t know he posted it too.”

"Be careful next time. He's a public figure, and you can be counted. You should be more careful."

"Well, because there were hardly any people outside today, I didn't pay much attention to it. What kind of mess did those reporters write? They even involved Guan Guwei and a love triangle. It was written like a novel. Why didn't they just write Wang Ruien also wrote it in."

The more I spoke, the angrier I became, the last sentence was almost blurted out, but Li Hua's silence made me panic.

"Do you really want to have an affair with Wang Ruien?" I could feel the chill across the phone.

"Uh... no, I'm just making an analogy..."

"I remember you said that you liked Wang Ruien very much when he was an actor. He is handsome and good at acting. You also said that he is more handsome than me."

He actually remembered!He actually remembered... This man is really stingy to the point of terror.

When I said this at the beginning, how could I have thought that the relationship between myself and Li Hua would develop to today...

I couldn't argue with it, so I could only act coquettishly: "He's not as handsome as you. He's so fierce. After the scandal happened today, you didn't see the way he looked at me. It's terrible! You're the best for me!"

Li Hua sighed and said, "Ruoqi, let's make a video, let me see you."

"what?!"

Before I could react, he hung up the phone, and the next moment, the video request popped up.

I wore a hotel bathrobe over my pajamas, my hair was messed up, and I had no image at all, but I didn't have time to tidy it up, so I accepted it resignedly.

Li Hua wore a smoky gray sweater, which was much softer than his usual formal attire. The amber eyes were set off very beautifully, and I was fascinated by it.

He didn't speak either, the corners of his mouth curled into a beautiful arc, just looking at me quietly.

"Kaihua, you are so pretty." I still said it.

He smiled shyly.

"Really, you are the most beautiful person I have ever seen."

In fact, I want to say, you are so good-looking that I will never get tired of seeing you all my life, but I am afraid it will be too abrupt.

"Each each other."

I don't know if he was being polite or sincere, but I'm happy anyway.

"Can I see your room?"

"it is good."

He turned around with his mobile phone. The bedroom is not too big, with off-white walls, black wardrobe and bedside table, which is the simple style he always likes. He sits on the large bay window and chats with me.

"What's outside the window? What's there, Jiang Jing?"

He smiled and pointed the camera out of the window: "There is no river view."

Not far away are famous temples in the urban area, and the housing prices in this area are also very high, but I was still surprised: "I thought you rich people are either villas or river-view houses!"

"This is my parents' house, my house in S city," he paused, his smile deepened, "it's indeed by the river."

"Let me just say... east or west?"

"West."

"Can you see the four-piece suit?"

"Clear. Do you like it?"

"Of course, you can see a four-piece river view room in S City, who doesn't like it!"

He narrowed his eyes slightly: "Are you mocking me?"

"No, I feel that you are too rich."

"Not used to it yet?"

"The top ten in the country's richest list, how do you get used to it...Look, the one who ranks first, his son goes to luxury stores with different internet celebrity girlfriends every week."

He listened with great interest: "And then?"

"The one who ranked second, your compatriot from Hong Kong, his son spent hundreds of millions to find a beautiful female star to give birth to three children for him. The one who ranked seventh spent money to spend a The Asian Champions Football Team..."

"You are very familiar with this list."

"But...the one in the eighth place said he loves me." I said, my face was still hot.

"Maybe in the future it will become a very romantic saying in other people's mouths." His expression was very focused, as if he was looking into my eyes right in front of me. "The eighth person, in order to realize the beloved girl dream, founded the largest film and television company in Asia."

I smiled shyly, "I like this story."

"I like it too." He slightly raised his head, his eyes were affectionate, but also vaguely conceited.

"Come in." He suddenly said inexplicably.

I was just about to ask him what's wrong, when I heard his mother's voice: "Eat glutinous rice balls. Why didn't you come out after answering the phone? Are you still working after Chinese New Year?"

"Thank you mom," Li Hua said calmly, "I'm videoing with Ruoqi."

I was startled, afraid that his mother would want to see it, but I heard her say: "Okay, you can talk slowly, and bring her back when you have time."

The last time Li Hua went to my house, my mother turned around and told the seven aunts and eight aunts. It is not surprising that Li Hua's mother would know about us.

"Did you hear that?" he asked me after his mother had gone out.

"Well... your mother is so kind. If it were my mother, I would grab my phone and come to see you."

"Of course a daughter is different from a son. Why don't you come back one day after the Chinese New Year?" he asked.

"Okay." He has already met my parents, and I should really meet his parents in terms of politeness, but I am still very nervous.

"Take it easy, they'll love you."

"You keep holding your phone, are you tired? You can't eat glutinous rice balls anymore, why don't we just hang up?"

"You want to hang up?"

"Uh..." Of course I couldn't bear it.

"Wait, I'll change places."

He put his mobile phone on the desk, and then brought over the glutinous rice balls: "This is good. You get under the quilt, don't catch cold."

I was a little embarrassed by his domineering tone, but I still climbed onto the bed, curled up my legs, and put the phone on my lap.

"Hey, I really want to eat glutinous rice balls. I didn't dare to eat them for dinner because Wang Rui'en was angry. What kind of stuffing?"

He took a picture of the bowl with his mobile phone: "Sesame, and meat."

"The round ones are sesame seeds, and the pointed ones are meat?"

"Ah."

"It's the same as my family's bag. My favorite is meat glutinous rice balls."

"Me too."

He was slowly eating the glutinous rice balls in the bowl. At this moment, he seemed to be just the most ordinary man, chatting with me on this day when we should be reunited.

After he finished eating the glutinous rice balls, he found me giggling, so he laughed too: "What are you laughing at?"

"When I was a freshman, I lived in the dormitory. There was a roommate in a long-distance relationship with her boyfriend. They watched videos on the computer every day and chatted for hours. We always laughed at her, but we envied her very much. Now I It’s finally getting that feeling.”

"how do you feel?"

"It feels...it's better to be around."

He laughed out loud and said, "Ruoqi, Happy New Year."

I glanced at the time, it was exactly twelve o'clock, because firecrackers were banned, there was no sound outside, and it was already the New Year before I knew it.

I finally understood that he specially accompanied me to celebrate the New Year's Eve tonight.

"Happy New Year, Kaihua, thank you."

Thank you for being with me through this difficult New Years Eve.

Thank you for letting me forget about the gossip for a while.

Thank you for falling in love with me.
