When Gu Luojin returned to the film set, the first thing she heard was Meng Ziyi complaining about Zhou.
"Luo Jin, you should accompany Xiao to driving practice next time."
"Is it really that scary?"
"I threw up as soon as I got out of the car, so tell me if she was a good driver or not."
That's wonderful; he's never received such treatment before.
"It's not that serious. I think I drove very well."
Zhou's innocent and clear eyes clearly indicated that he was a college student.
Anyway, Meng Ziyi didn't dare to ride in her car anymore, and she threw up all her lunch.
"Come on, I'll take you for a spin around."
So who should be the co-pilot? That's an easy question.
Gu Luojin made no arrangements, leaving the choice to the two girls themselves.
"I'll sit in the back and rest for a while. You sit in the passenger seat and learn how your brother Gu drives."
Meng Ziyi's initiative and humility deeply moved Zhou.
"Sister Meng, don't worry, I will definitely learn to drive well, and then we can go on a road trip together."
Meng Ziyi was trying to make up for her guilt towards Zhou, because she had sneaked into her best friend's crush last night.
Gu Luojin has finally returned, so we need to give Zi enough space to spend time with him and deepen our relationship.
During the day, she wouldn't have to fight with her son, and at night she would have plenty of time to herself.
Once the car was in the hands of the experienced driver, Meng Ziyi felt that the ride was very smooth, without much turbulence.
That's what you call good driving skills.
"Luo Jin, I've never seen you drive in college. How come you're so skilled?"
"I practiced my skills by driving my neighbor's car."
After taking them around for a while, I switched to Zhou Shanglai driving, which taught her how to save her a lot of trouble in the future.
If he was drunk that time, Zhou could drive him home.
"You didn't tell me that."
"There's no need to talk about such a small thing, is there?"
Meng Ziyi didn't press the matter further; she realized that Gu Luojin's words didn't seem to be about the car.
After putting Xiao to sleep at night, she would then subject Gu Luojin to severe torture and interrogation.
After the three of them finished driving practice and returned to the hotel, Song Zuer sent him the photoshopped group photo.
"How many are you planning to send?"
Thinking of captions is such a hassle. Wouldn't it be better to just repost Song Zuer's?
Send me a few.
"Of course I posted nine pictures; beautiful women always post nine-grid photos."
"Understood, I'll just forward yours."
Song Zuer was dumbfounded. "I spent so much time editing these pictures, and you didn't use a single one of them? What was the point of all that hard work?"
Besides, it's inappropriate for him to directly repost her photo.
The photos she posts are definitely mainly her own beautiful pictures, with group photos as a secondary element.
If Gu Luojin forwards this, netizens and fans will mistakenly believe that the two are dating and have officially announced their relationship.
She doesn't want to be in a relationship right now, and if she were, it would be done secretly.
Dating will negatively impact my career; I'll lose a large portion of my fans.
"No, Brother Gu, I mostly post solo photos of myself. It's not appropriate for you to just repost mine."
"Then I'll just not send it, it's too much trouble."
Seeing that Gu Luojin wasn't responding, Song Zuer realized this wouldn't do.
She's worked so hard for so long, and he doesn't reciprocate; it's a waste of her hard work.
If she posts it, people will say she's trying to ride his coattails and gain a reputation as a freeloader.
"No, you have to say it, and you have to say it loudly."
Why are you speaking so loudly? He can hear you.
This is why most celebrities' Weibo accounts are managed by their teams, which is why netizens later said that the Chinese entertainment industry lacks active artists.
Such situations will only become more and more common over time.
"I don't know whether to post it or not. So tell me, what should I do? Thinking of copywriting is such a brain drain."
Gu Luojin's words implied that she wanted to take care of everything.
"This is so annoying. I really owe you something. I'll come up with the copy for you, then you can send it."
"Thank you, Joey."
After finishing their conversation, Gu Luojin went to the bathroom to take a shower.
While at the hotel, Song Zuer kept saying, "I'm never riding on his coattails again," while planning a photo of the two of them together.
After taking a shower, Gu Luojin received Song Zuer's request to post a message on time.
"OK, wait for me to upload the images and text."
At 10 o'clock sharp, both of them posted photos with identical captions.
@GuLuojin @SongZuer #May the years pass and our friendship last forever#
As popular young actors and actresses in the entertainment industry, their Weibo posts immediately attracted attention and comments from netizens.
The Weibo post didn't cause any misunderstanding, and most netizens were speculating about when the two met and whether they were friends.
Song Zuer successfully gained attention; as soon as it was posted, #GuLuojinandSongZuer'sFriendship# sparked widespread discussion and ranked around 50th on Weibo's trending topics list.
This attracted Gu Luojin's fans to leave comments on her Weibo.
[Sister is so beautiful, I hope her friendship with our Jinbao lasts forever.]
There were quite a few comments like this, mostly from Gu Luojin's fans who came to leave a good impression on their idol in front of other artists.
Song Zuer's agent said, "Zuer, you're trending on social media."
"Let me see."
Zhou was washing up in the bathroom, while Meng Ziyi was lying on the bed scrolling through her scarf.
I saw a photo of Gu Luojin with another female celebrity in the industry.
That scumbag! We two beautiful women are waiting for him to come back on set.
He, on the other hand, is out having affairs.
Gu Luojin cried out that he was wronged, saying that the system made him do it and he had no choice.
Xiao, why don't you learn from me? Why don't you let go of your desires and enjoy life? Dating is all superficial.
This is a problem she doesn't need to worry about; it's her best friend, Xiaoba, who should be concerned.
After Zhou came out, Meng Ziyi handed him a photo of Gu Luojin and Song Zuer.
After seeing the photo, Zhou Wu commented, "Isn't this just a normal group photo?"
Taking a group photo is normal, but Meng Ziyi has never seen anyone take a group photo on their first meeting.
Since even my best friend says it's normal, then it's normal.
Zhou had long realized that this problem was unsolvable, and if it couldn't be solved, then it shouldn't be solved.
Continuing to keep the system running is essential; a sudden disruption would cause the system to lose its balance.
If she were possessive, she would feel embarrassed to sleep with Gu Luojin at night, as it would feel immoral.
Birds of a feather flock together.
[Ding! The host has accepted Song Zuer's invitation to take a photo with her, and there is a very high probability that you will get the male lead role in "Joy of Life".]
After he finished speaking, the system disappeared, leaving him with no way to ask anyone.
Just then, his phone rang. This time, it was Sister Wang calling him directly.
"Xiao Gu, Tencent Video is holding a big conference in a few days, and I'm planning to take you. Do you want to go?"
"Sister Wang, can you share some inside information?"
"Tencent is going to hold an internal meeting with a media company it regularly collaborates with to strengthen the partnership between the two parties."
This doesn't seem to have anything to do with him as an artist; it's just a collaboration between companies, and he's not a shareholder.
"I'm taking you there just to make an appearance and see if there are any resources I can give you."
Gu Luojin's eyes lit up; she absolutely had to go.
It seems the huge opportunity the system was talking about is hidden in this meeting: "I'll go!"
"Okay, I'll talk to Xiaolu and have her arrange a time for you."
"Thank you, Sister Wang."
"Xiao, what do you like about him?"
"Sister Meng, I also want to ask you, why did you break up with such a good guy like Gu?"
Meng Ziyi can't very well say that she broke up with Gu Luojin on a whim, can she?
"At first, I was focused on my career, but later I realized that career and love don't seem to conflict."
"Forget that I'm not that big of a star yet, I need to consider that point."
Zhou thought so too. If it were truly a matter of principle, Sister Meng wouldn't have bothered to pursue Gu Luojin anymore.
"Sister Meng, you think too highly of yourself."
Mencius was speechless and choked with emotion.
"Let's not talk about me anymore, little one, what about you?"
Zhou did not rush to answer Meng Ziyi, but pondered for a while before giving his own answer.
"Sister Meng, actually, if you ask me to give a reason, I've asked myself many times what I like about Brother Gu, but I can't think of one."
"Maybe it's Gu Ge's good looks, maybe it's him helping me with my lines, maybe it's him deliberately going easy on me during the audition, maybe it's—"
"But I know that when I'm with Brother Gu, I'll be very happy, I'll have something to look forward to every day, and the world will feel wonderful."
"The weather outside is as sunny as a bubble, and there's a faint scent of vanilla milk in the air."
After hearing Zhou's answer, Meng Ziyi blurted out.
"Son, you're doomed, you've fallen in love."
Wise people don't fall in love; they're not responsible if their loved ones drown.
Zhou's pretty face immediately turned red with embarrassment, and she didn't know what to say.
But her state perfectly matches what Meng Ziyi described, which is the state of being in love.
"Sister Meng, are you really not going to blame me for taking Brother Gu away? I don't want him to affect the relationship between us sisters."
"I don't blame you. I saw through his true nature. I was worried that you would get hurt."
"Look, he goes to a place and meets someone in the industry, and they take a photo together. What if other female celebrities are very proactive? What will you do then?"
"Just like Sister Meng, break up then. There are plenty of men with two legs, aren't there?"
Meng Ziyi felt that this sentence sounded familiar.
But among the three-legged men, Meng Ziyi only knew Gu Luojin; he was one of them.
"Alright, I'm happy for you that you have such awareness."
"Sister Meng, what if I can't leave the place later?"
He was overjoyed that he couldn't live without it.
There's no need to leave. The three of us taking good care of ourselves is better than anything else.
That's something he would definitely say.
"If I can't leave, then I won't. Being friends is fine too."
"Sister Meng, you're so kind."
The two chatted until late, until Zhou fell asleep. Meng Ziyi quietly got up and went to Gu Luojin's room. Meng Ziyi, oh Meng Ziyi, this is the last time.
She ran to Gu Luojin's bed and woke him up.
"Sister Meng, it's time for bed. Come back tomorrow."
"Wake up, I have something important to tell you."
"Can't we talk about this important thing tomorrow?"
"No, this concerns a small matter, so I have to tell you now."
Meng Ziyi's frantic shaking completely dispelled Gu Luojin's sleepiness.
"Okay, stop shaking me, I'm getting up, alright?"
"Sister Meng, you'd better have something really important to tell me, or I'll show you just how angry you can get when someone disturbs your sleep."
"If there's nothing important, can I wake you up? If the spring breeze has pity on the flowers, love won't wait for empty sorrow."
"Sister Meng, you can recite rhymes so well late at night, your eloquence is amazing, why don't you go on 'Roast Conference'?"
ah."
What good is being eloquent?
"Do you know, I like you."
He knew Zhou liked him; the level of affection between them was obvious.
"I know."
But he also said that he would no longer talk about greed and that he would prioritize his career.
"So, what do you do now that she likes you?"
What can he do? He'll just have to accept it.
The emperor wasn't worried, but the eunuch was. The girl hadn't even confessed her feelings to him yet, but she was already concerned about her best friend.
Besides, he and Meng Ziyi were ex-boyfriend and ex-girlfriend before. Are all best friends this generous now?
Isn't this pushing him into another woman's arms? Sister Meng is so generous.
"There's not much I can do. I promised to talk to you, and I'll talk to you first. I'm a person who keeps my promises."
Even at this moment, Gu Luojin did not forget his promise. At this moment, Meng Ziyi once again experienced his charm and wondered why Zhou liked him.
"What a jerk! He just knows how to please me and get me to agree to his weird requests."
Completely bewildered, he was simply keeping his promise, and Meng Ziyi was moved.
Besides, she was the one who brought up the request to use connections in the first place, so why should he take the blame?
"I'm very happy that you said that, but you need to think carefully about how to handle the matter concerning the child."
He told Zi that he wouldn't date, and what she thought was her problem.
"Sister Meng, if this is the only thing, I'm going to get angry."
Sister Meng gave him a flirtatious glance, as if to see just how angry he could get.
Faced with Meng Ziyi's seemingly helpless attitude, he was truly at his wit's end.
He says one thing but does another; he's tough on the outside but his actions speak louder than words.
Her real intention wasn't what she seemed; she was probably deliberately trying to provoke him.
"Sister Meng, you don't seem to be in a good mood tonight."
"You don't usually talk this much."
Fine, he won't hold it against me.
When Meng Ziyi returned to her room the next day, she felt extremely exhausted.
"Flowers really do need to be watered regularly to look their best; even the leaves have become much fuller."
In a good mood, Meng Ziyi watered the flowers that the hotel had planted on the windowsill.
After putting down the watering can, she scolded playfully, "You scumbag, you have no sense of proportion!"
It may seem like a complaint, but it's actually a sweet enjoyment.
Zhou tried to wake Meng Ziyi, who was fast asleep, but failed to get her to eat breakfast.
Sister Meng sleeps so soundly every day; how tired must she have been filming before?
Seeing that he couldn't wake her up, he quickly tidied up himself.
"Sister Meng, I'm going to the Shanghai Theatre Academy."
As soon as Zhou finished speaking and went outside, he ran into Gu Luojin, who was jogging in the morning.
"Brother Gu, your dark circles seem to have gotten worse."
"I'm so tired these past two days."
Anyone who stays up late at night and gets disturbed will have dark circles under their eyes.
Zhou didn't think much of it, assuming it was caused by him getting up early yesterday to shoot for a magazine and then getting up early today to exercise.
"Brother Gu, sometimes skip a day of exercise and get some more sleep. Don't overwork yourself."
He also thought that Meng Ziyi would come to raid him every night, and without a healthy body, how could he withstand it?
