Chapter 469: My Secrets with Stars (8)
Of course, Hu Yan couldn't understand the various emotions in my heart. After hearing my response, he fell into a daze, and as if talking to himself, he muttered, "If Wu Lefeng likes you as I do, maybe he will give you more substantial help."
"What?"
"Nothing," Hu Yan shook his head and smiled: "I hope you can seriously consider my proposal. In fact, from the beginning of my conversation with you, I've been observing you and checking you, young man, your reaction is all beyond my expectation. You are calm and smart, and I can't see through your mind. You are really a born actor, so I am looking forward to your answer. Anyway, I hope to see you again soon."
Hu Yan turned around to leave directly after speaking, seemingly not wanting to persuade me anymore. I subconsciously called out, "Wait—"
"Is there anything you want to talk to me about?"
"Um..." I hesitated a bit, but eventually still asked, "How do you know that the girl who appeared on the stage first is not my girlfriend?"
Hu Yan smiled, "You are a good actor, but I am also a good director."
This guy was as narcissistic as I thought he would be, but what was different from before was that I no longer felt that his narcissism was unreasonable.
He liked to pretend to be profound, but he was indeed a profound man.
…
Speaking of which, where is the vip room?
Because Liusu and Dong Xiaoye were chattering with excitement around me earlier, I just instinctively followed Wu Lefeng's assistant Avril to the lounge without paying much attention to the surroundings. Now I completely got lost inside the movie theater.
What's wrong with movie theaters nowadays? Why are there so many rooms and halls? After walking around for a while, I still couldn't find any VIP rooms. I thought there would be many people since it was the movie premiere, but I couldn't even find anyone who I could ask for directions.
"Huh? Nan Nan, what are you wandering around here?"
Looking at the place where the sound came from, I found that it was Liusu who had just walked out of the bathroom. Looking at her expression, she must have an upset stomach again. "Oh finally. What is wrong with this movie theater? It looks like a maze inside."
"You got lost, seriously?" Liusul asked, wiping her hands with her handkerchief, "Didn't Miss Avril go to find you? Didn't you meet?"
My face blushed, "No..."
"You idiot," Liusu rolled her eyes and then asked curiously: "Why did Director Hu want to talk to you alone? What did you two talk about?"
"Nothing, he doesn't believe that I have two girlfriends, so we just chatted about some random stuff. See, those famous directors and stars are just like us. They also like to gossip. So don't blindly admire them in the future. It's embarrassing..." I didn't dare to tell her that Hu Yan wanted me to become an actor. Otherwise, Liusu would definitely get excited. Once she was interested, she would definitely ask me to try it. I didn't want to cause trouble for myself.
As if Liusu was worried that I would get lost again, she took my hand and said as she walked: "Talking about embarrassment, are you crazy? Have you ever thought that what if what you did earlier is aired on TV tomorrow?"
"So?" I smiled: "It is meant to be heard by others. Only when people know that you are taken, people like Zhang Mingjie will give up chasing you completely."
Liusu blushed and said annoyingly: "Why are you so dumb. What if my mom saw it? Do you think she will agree with me to fall in love with a man who dares to brazenly say on TV that he has two girlfriends?!"
I actually didn't think of that... I cleared my throat and said, "Um... if that really happened, then we just need to tell her the truth… Anyway, I've met your mother twice when I was in college, she had a good impression of me. She even asked me to look after you, so she will definitely believe me."
"Don't be so full of yourself. My mom said that because she saw us always stay together. She just wanted to use that to test you. But you took it seriously?" Seeing that my forehead was sweating, Liusu burst out chuckling, "Look at you, I was just trying to scare you. My mom indeed had a good impression of you, and she always praised you. I've told her about what you did for my cousin, she was very satisfied with your arrangement. She even asked me, asked me to..."
There was an indescribable joy rising from the bottom of my heart. I couldn't help asking, "asked you what?"
"You clearly know it!" Liusu felt embarrassed to answer it. And as if she was dissatisfied by my deliberate question, she snorted and murmured, "If she knew that there are other women in your heart, she would definitely regret saying those words."
Her words were like a bucket of cold water pouring on top of my head, extinguishing my joy completely. The smile on my face became stiff and the corner of my mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Liusu noticed the change in the atmosphere. "Are you angry?" She asked hesitantly.
"No," I said, "even if I am, I am angry at myself..."
"Then shouldn't I be angry at myself even more?" Liusu hugged my arm tightly and said softly: "I know you like Mo Fei, and I always said that I would support you in chasing Mo Fei, but when I found out that Mo Fei also has feelings for you, I... I have no right to say that Mo Fei is despicable, because I am more despicable than her. She has the courage to openly say that she likes you, but I don't. I supported you because I thought a noble girl like Mo Fei would not be interested in you. I'm waiting for you to hit a wall and get hurt, then, I'll comfort you..."
Liusu couldn't continue anymore. Seeing that her eyes had teared up. I stroked her head, trying to comfort her, but I didn't know what to say.
It turned out that this was the reason why she supported me at the beginning.
I felt complicated. Not knowing how to comfort Liusu, I could only change to another topic to distract her, "So you told your mom about the Shu Tong family's situation?"
"Mhm," Liusu secretly wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes: "Unlike you, I have to face my cousin all day. There were several times that I almost couldn't bring myself to hide grandma's illness from her and tell her everything. So I discussed it with my mom in the end. She agreed with your approach. Anyway, this is their family affair. Since uncle and aunt deliberately conceal it, they must have their own considerations. We don't need to expose it. If we really want to help them, then we just need to do something within our power."
Speaking of Shu Tong's grandma's illness, the topic became heavier. I secretly scolded myself for being stupid and quickly changed to another the topic again... "Speaking of your mom, I'm actually quite worried. What if she really saw us on TV, what should we do?"
"That's easy." Liusu finally smiled again and said, "If my mom asks about it, I will just tell her that it's a lie you made up because you want Sister Xiaoye and me to have dinner with Wu Lefeng as well. My mom is also Wu Lefeng's fan. As long as you get her Wu Lefeng's autograph at that time, she will not ask you any questions."
After talking with Hu Yan, I had an extreme aversion to words like 'lie'. I didn't like lying, but sometimes I had to lie.
"You are my girlfriend, is this a lie too?"
"Mhm," Liusu answered embarrassedly.
I was speechless by Liusu's answer. Seeing that there was no one around, I spread out my arms and pretended to be angry: "You ungrateful woman, I made so much effort just to please you, but you still refuse to acknowledge that I'm your boyfriend. I really need to teach you a lesson today."
"Ah!" Liusu let out a panic scream, but she didn't run away. She pretended to shrink her body in fear and let me pull her into my arms.
When our bodies were pressed closely together, both of us were stunned. Unlike our previous intimate contact, we both felt a little unnatural at this time. This feeling was strange, subtle, and... restless.
My heavy breathing made Liusu stop moving. The faint fragrance she exuded made me excited. Looking at her small crystal lips with lip gloss, I couldn't help but slowly move closer to her, wanting to taste the fragrance. Liusu did not struggle, and seemed to accept what was about to happen. She closed her eyes and her face became even rosier.
"You shameless bitch and scum! You are the worst man I have ever seen, and you are the most shameless woman I have ever seen!"
The sudden yelling frightened me to separate from Liusu. After the initial panic was the insuppressible anger. What the hell. It is just kissing between lovers, why is it shameless?! But my anger lasted less than one second.
"Xiao Fei, calm down..."
Liusu and I looked at each other. Her eyes were full of surprises. She could also tell that the person who was swearing was Tong Feifei, the female lead of "Fickle Love", and the person who tried to calm her down was the second female lead - Mu Rui.
The sound came from the innermost room of the dark corridor on our left. The door was not closed tightly, and a ray of light escaped from the room, attracting our attention.
"Go away," Tong Feifei yelled like a shrew: "Bitch, don't touch me!"
"I..." instead of quarreling with her, Mu Rui asked for help: "Lefeng, why don't you say anything?"
Liusu covered her mouth, her eyes widened in shock. She asked me in a low voice in surprise, "Wu Lefeng?!"
