Chapter 462: Chapter 463 The Secret Between Me and Stars (2)
Yes, Chu Yuan indeed needed more space, otherwise, why would she come to occupy my space? First, it was one-half of my flat, and now she even took my room and drove me to live in the living room…
Of course, I was just joking, and I knew that Liusu and Dong Xiaoye were right. I even wanted to control the time she spent with her friend outside. This kind of care was really not normal. It was indeed a bit too much, and it would also arouse some people’s jealousy… Otherwise, why would Liusu pinch me for no reason?
The more I tried to be a good elder brother, the less I had confidence in myself. I still couldn’t figure out how to get along with Chu Yuan, and what was the correct way to get along with her. Now that I think about it carefully, before she moved over to live with me, ‘sister’ was just a title, and the person who denied her was also myself.
From the day when my stepmother brought Chu Yuan into my life, I have always believed that my relationship with Chu Yuan was vital to maintaining the relationship between my father and my stepmother. It was very important to the harmony of our newly reorganized family. So I was very cautious when interacting with Chu Yuan. Even if there was little friction in our relationship, I would endure it silently without fighting back. Maybe in my heart, I never really treated Chu Yuan as my little sister. Perhaps, to me, she was more like a glue that glued the two broken families together. Therefore, I doted on her and treated her like a goddess, not daring to make her unhappy.
I am an atheist, but if there must be a belief, I think family is my belief, so Chu Yuan is my belief.
Over time, I could no longer tell the difference. I didn’t know if Chu Yuan was still that little goddess that was difficult to please, or just an annoying little bratty girl. Maybe it was both, but spoiling her has become a habit of mine, and it was too difficult for me to change it. I didn’t know how to change, and what to change into. Maybe I should just go with the flow… I really like the sentence Long Shan gave me. Life is like sailing along the water. If you can’t grasp the direction, then just stabilize the ship and let the flow take its course.
Dong Xiaoye did not dare to say that I was bragging anymore, and admitted that I was not talking nonsense. At half past six, the host invited by the organizer came to the stage and said that because of traffic jams on the road, the actors would arrive soon. And this ‘soon’ made us wait for a full forty minutes. If it weren’t for the host’s witty humor, the few prize-winning quizzes, and gift-giving games that the organizer of the event temporarily held, it was estimated that audiences would have been swearing already.
Forty minutes later, the film crew finally appeared on stage. The first person to appear was the director’s Hu Yan. This person had a short stature, wretched appearance, and an arrogant look as if he was a master. I couldn’t help feeling nauseous when I saw his arrogant appearance. When the host asked him if he had something to say to the audience, he said, “I hope you have prepared tissues, because this romantic comedy will not only make you laugh to the point that your eyes will tear up, but it will also make you cry.” Hearing such a narcissistic evaluation of his own movie, it made me feel even more disgusted.
The second person who appeared on the stage was the super handsome Wu Lefeng. The screams of the women at the scene almost pierced my eardrums. And that was not just it, even Dong Xiaoye also screamed loudly. Although Liusu was silent, I could see clearly that her body was trembling. She must be very excited because she could see her idol up close, I believe that every man will inevitably feel complicated at this time.
The next person who appeared was Mu Rui, the second wife of Wu Lefeng in the scandal. At this time, an embarrassing scene unexpectedly appeared. When the host called out “Please welcome Miss Mu Rui”, half of the audience suddenly fell silent, forming a huge contrast to the enthusiastic welcoming atmosphere earlier. Their collective silence made everyone instinctively become quiet in surprise. Obviously, this was premeditated and was deliberately done by a certain fan group.
However, at this time, another group of people in front of the audience became excited. Those people were the reporters from various news publishers. Their cameras flashed wildly at the embarrassed Mu Rui and silent fans, which made the gentle Mu Rui even more embarrassed to come to the stage. However, she was a very cultured person. She still had a smile on her face even if the corners of her eyes were a little wet.
I actually quite liked Mu Rui. I remember when I was in high school, I saw a movie she acted in. She had a small supporting role in that movie. In the movie, she was just a student who was bullied by her classmates, suffered from domestic violence, and eventually committed suicide. Although she didn’t have many scenes, her character’s cowardness, helplessness, and struggles between love and fear of her family, was vividly interpreted by her. At that time, I thought she would become famous because there were not many domestic actresses who could act. Beautiful women like her who could also act were even rarer. But strangely, she didn’t become popular and she was still hovering between the first-tier actor and the second-tier actor. Most of the works she had had bad scripts and low budgets.
Actresses generally rely on their ages. Not many of them would be able to become famous after thirty years old. Not to mention that she was caught in a scandal of being someone’s second wife. I even felt that this was originally a premeditated plan by the producer of the movie. It was very likely that they wanted to create hype for this movie at the expense of her, and used this opportunity to promote the newcomer Tong Feifei.
I was not a fan of people in the entertainment circle, I just admired Mu Rui’s acting skills. Therefore, I instinctively made my old mistake again. There was lonely applause in the venue, and the source of the sound was me…
Liusu and Dong Xiaoye stared at me in a daze. I regretted it very much, but it was not because I clapped my hand. I regretted it because I didn’t clap my hands at the right time. However, I couldn’t stop now. Otherwise, it would be even more awkward. I could only ignore those two women near me and pretended to stare at the people on the stage with admiration, acting like some enthusiastic fans. I didn’t know what Dong Xiaoye and Liusu were thinking. They definitely knew that I was not a fan of anyone on the stage, but they still clapped with me. In the end, with us three taking the lead, more and more people stopped staying silent and started to clap their hands. The atmosphere finally improved slightly.
I didn’t know if I was seeing things, but I seemed to notice that Wu Lefeng, who always had a stiff expression on his face, actually smiled at me with gratitude.
Did this guy get the wrong idea?
The host wiped his sweat. Fortunately, the awkward atmosphere didn’t last long. After chatting a few words with Mu Rui, the host said: “The next person that will come to the stage is~ the female lead of the movie, the new superstar -Miss Tong Feifei!”
The applause was thunderous, and just like the silence just now, it was only louder in a certain area. It was actually the same group of people who deliberately refused to clap when Mu Rui appeared on the stage… Those people were definitely not genuine fans. Tong Feifei had only acted in one movie. So where did she get so many fans?
Wearing a strapless red dress, she had a slim figure and exquisite features. When she smiled, there were two shallow dimples on her face. Although she was not childish, she still gave people a feeling that she had not grown up. My first impression of her was that she was pretty! Then the second impression was still pretty… and the third was also the same…
Unlike the quiet and gentle feeling Mu Rui gave to people, Tong Feifei had no other characteristics except for being pretty. I didn’t have a good impression of her not because she didn’t look like a cultured lady, but because I felt that she was not a cultivated person.
When the host asked her to come to the stage, she walked out like an arrogant princess. Every time she spoke, she spoke in an affected manner. She was indifferent to the fans who came on stage to interact with her, but whenever the camera focused on her, she would pretend to be cute and adorable. However, that was not the worst. What I really couldn’t stand was that when she was invited to the middle by the host, she accidentally tripped her feet on the power line of the camera, staggered forward, and just slammed into Mu Rui’s arms. Mu Rui was unprepared and was almost pushed to the ground by her. Fortunately, Wu Lefeng next to her reacted quickly and held her in time, saving her from falling into an embarrassing situation.
Although Mu Rui said that she was alright, I noticed that she had secretly rubbed the area hit by Tong Feifei more than once with her hand, and Tong Feifei unexpectedly didn’t even apologize to her.
“Humph!” Dong Xiaoye said with satisfaction, “Stealing other people’s husband, she deserves to be hit!”
Just when I was indignant at what Mu Rui had to endure, I heard Dong Xiaoye say this. I couldn’t help asking, “Did you see with your own eyes that she stole other people’s husband?”
“Did you see with your eyes that she didn’t steal other people’s husband?” Dong Xiaoye’s retort made me speechless, “Why are you defending Mu Rui? She is only a second-tier actor. Don’t tell me that you are a fan of her. No one will believe that. ”
“Can’t second-tier actors have fans?”
“They can, but you are definitely not one,” Dong Xiaoye glanced at me and said: “Just tell me the truth, is it because her look and temperament are somewhat similar to Mo Fei’s?”
Before Dong Xiaoye mentioned it, I didn’t realize it. Now that I looked at Mu Rui again, her gentle and elegant temperament was indeed somewhat similar to Mo Fei after taking off her cold and indifferent mask. However, it was a bit far-fetched to say that they looked alike. But what made me speechless was that Liusu actually believed what Sister Tiger said. She fixed her eyes on me, seemingly wanting to know what my answer was.
Dong Xiaoye, this damn woman. I’m dating Liusu at the moment, why does she have to mention Mo Fei?
“Nan Nan, you took the lead to clap your hands earlier, was it because…”
