Huayu: Traffic is king

Chapter 22 Ambiguity
Dilraba glanced at him, and Gu Jingyi's clear eyes rippled. Standing in the night, he was as gentle as spring water.

"Thank you."

Muttering softly, Dilireba also squatted down with her legs together.

Hiding obediently behind the safe haven, her fingertips gently tapped Gu Jingyi's shadow like a little girl.

Gu Jingyi took off his suit and handed it to Dilraba Dilmurat.

"Put your suit... over your legs. You're almost exposed."

Gu Jingyi, who had been very composed throughout the recording, seemed a little embarrassed. His voice was a little weak, and although he quickly concealed it, it still couldn't be hidden from Dilraba Dilmurat in front of him. The distance between them was only a dozen steps.

Any small abnormality of Gu Jingyi could not be hidden from her ears.

A faint smile appeared on Dilraba's face at some point, and she had to admit that Gu Jingyi was different from what she had imagined.

When she first knew that she was going to work with this rising star, Di Lieba didn't actually have too high expectations for his performance.

Dilireba subconsciously applied the stereotype left on her by the newcomer from Jiaxing, whom she had previously "praised", to Gu Jingyi.

Now it seems that this is really biased and somewhat arbitrary.

The suit still carried Gu Jingyi's warmth, and the cold wind blowing through his legs gradually warmed up. This warm touch was like a barrier, isolating him from the cold outside.

This belated comfort and warmth made Dilireba squint her eyes with some happiness.

She thought that Gu Jingyi was really a very gentle person.

A man who is not gentle will not notice that his female companion is shivering in the cold wind.

A person who is not gentle will not stand in the wind to block the wind for her.

The distance between me and her was about ten steps, no more, no less.

At this distance, even if the staff at the venue saw them, they wouldn't think there was anything wrong.

Such a gentle gesture made Dilraba feel a slight ripple in her heart.

If all the newcomers in the company who asked her to "nurture" were like Gu Jingyi, she would be able to relax a lot more.

Dilireba pursed her lips slightly and looked at the figure in a daze.

"Xiao Gu, I didn't expect you to be so good at it."

Dilireba couldn't help but smile teasingly, "You are so gentle and considerate, your girlfriend must be very happy."

Gu Jingyi shook his head. "Actually, I don't have a girlfriend. Dating during an artist's rising stage is self-destructive. I'd better keep working hard for a few more years. Once I reach a certain level, I should be able to get closer to my ideal type. Then I can consider dating."

"Ideal type?"

Di Lieba immediately grasped the key point of this statement, and she suddenly became a little gossipy.

"Why do you wait a few years before considering a relationship after finding your ideal type? Is it someone in the same industry, someone famous? It's strange, you're still worried that they won't like you?"

Di Lieba's eyebrows moved slightly, and the names of the top actresses in the circle flashed through her mind.

Considering Gu Jingyi's age, they don't look alike.

Unable to think of an answer, she asked directly in a fit of emotion.

The rising star Gu Jingyi has good acting skills and a keen eye for fashion. He also comes from the IP giant Huace, so it's impossible for such a person to remain unknown in the industry.

The top actresses in the circle don’t pay too much attention to the man’s status. Being young and handsome is the best asset.

"Doesn't Sister Reba look down on me?"

Dilireba met his smiling eyes and then looked away in panic.

"What? Who looks down on you?"

"Really?"

Gu Jingyi bent down and tilted his head to look at the expression on her face.

Di Lieba felt inexplicably flustered, pushed his face away and stood up.

She opened her red lips slightly, and was about to say something when footsteps suddenly sounded, approaching from afar. Dilireba noticed who was coming, and her lips trembled for a moment, but she didn't say anything.

"Sorry to have kept you two waiting. The interaction between you two was so good, I was a little carried away chatting with the magazine."

Photographer Chen Man walked in and smiled brightly at Gu Jingyi and Dilraba. She briefly explained the reason for her disappearance and began to move forward with the next step.

"Jingyi, Reba. Let's go inside now. The venue has been set up."

The two followed the Bazaar photography crew and quickly came to the built interior.

This is also the highlight of this magazine, the cover shoot.

In order to fit in with the theme of "extravagance and decadence", the entire bedroom is also decorated very luxuriously.

"Gu Jingyi, wait a moment."

When Gu Jingyi habitually picked up the clothes handed to him by the staff and prepared to change into them, Chen Man stopped him.

"Don't wear this one, try this one."

She held it out, and Gu Jingyi politely took it. He went to the fitting room to change, adjusted his collar in front of the mirror, and walked out.

"Yes, I knew this one would suit you."

The style of the outfit I'm wearing now is similar to the one I wore in the previous photo shoot, but with more details.

For example, Gu Jingyi's tie hung loosely around his collar, and his shirt buttons were half-buttoned. He flaunted his muscular chest. Every muscle brimmed with power, and the female staff on the field were practically glued to his chest.

Dilireba also changed her clothes and came out in a wine red slim nightgown. The gathered design showed off her beautiful figure to the fullest.

Chen Man nodded with some satisfaction. She knew that this outfit was more suitable for Gu Jingyi's temperament.

In fact, from the beginning, Harper's Bazaar's goal was to create a good contrast between the older sister and the younger brother, just like the one shot by Dilraba Dilmurat and Lei Zi in July, which took the "rich sister and brother" route.

The clothes prepared for Gu Jingyi's cover shoot are also more student-friendly.

I didn’t expect that Gu Jingyi and Dilraba Dilmurat would look so good together during the filming.

Chen Man even felt that Gu Jingyi was slightly overshadowing Dilraba Dilmurat.

In the previous short film shooting, Gu Jingyi enhanced the character arc of the male protagonist simply by adding a look.

Even Gu Jingyi himself probably didn't expect that the small changes he made had attracted the attention of the editor-in-chief of "Harper's Bazaar".

Su Mang appreciated his small changes very much, and even the costumes originally ordered for the double cover were changed.

The two of them started out shooting while standing, then switched directly to shooting on the bed.

"Gu Jingyi, go lie down on the bed. Why are you looking at me? This is a new change."

"Yes, that's right. Very good, assistant, dim the background a little more."

"Gu Jingyi, don't move. Hey, are you deliberately pulling wrinkles on the quilt with your hands? Sure, you are very thoughtful."

Chen Man outside the camera looked at Gu Jingyi with more and more surprise, and her inspiration continued to burst out.

"Reba, get ready. Stand on the edge of the bed and press down on Jingyi."

"What?" After hearing what photographer Chen Man said, Di Lieba's eyes were full of confusion.

If we say that the magazine in the short film was more concerned about the feelings of fans of both sides, even if they wanted to create a CP feeling, they let the two of them do it with their eyes.

This double issue cover is a bit too much...

"Reba?"

The photographer's urging was still in her ears, and Di Lieba remembered Gu Jingyi's gentleness before.

My heart suddenly softened.

[Never mind, the person opposite me is Gu Jingyi anyway…]
Di Lieba gritted her teeth and pressed forward.

　The second update will be a little later, at a dinner party.
