Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

Chapter 239 The Special Relationship of the Film Crew

……

……

Midnight,

Naza changed into her 'night clothes' and, like a kitten preparing for a night raid, gently opened the door.

The wide brim of the hoodie almost covered half of his face.

Although Nazha knew that in order to protect the privacy of the artists, the production team had turned off all the surveillance cameras on this floor long ago.

But she still felt safer dressed more conservatively; at worst, she could take her clothes off inside.

"Not replying to messages... Looks like I have no choice but to take the initiative!"

Naza clenched her little fist to encourage herself, then stealthily made her way to room 709 at the end of the corridor.

Just as she tiptoed around the corner, she suddenly stopped!
A figure, more bundled up and noticeably smaller than her, was standing in front of Gu Qing's door.

The figure moved with practiced ease. With a soft "beep," the card was swiped, the door was pushed open, and the figure slipped inside—all in one fluid motion, as fast as a phantom.

"who is she?!"

Naza's beautiful eyes widened instantly, and she instinctively covered her mouth tightly, afraid of exclaiming.

She abruptly shrank back around the corner, her heart pounding in her chest.

Gu Qing's assistant?
No, she's noticeably thinner and more slender. Judging from her demeanor and image, she's more like an entertainer.

"A celebrity! Definitely a celebrity!"

Her mind was buzzing and in complete chaos. She fled back to her room in a panic and collapsed onto her soft bed.

This floor, besides Gu Qing, consists of the ten female artists...

Naza bit the corner of the blanket and began frantically trying to figure out who she was talking about.

Height, build, demeanor… the fact that he could so easily obtain Gu Qing's room key and even match the description…

"It's...Liying?!"

The name exploded in her mind like a thunderclap!

"How could it be Liying? Isn't she Gu Qing's good older sister?!"

Naza felt she had discovered a shocking secret.

This is Gu Qing's fan.
Since Yang Ying and her brother became a couple, she has been recognized as the female celebrity with the best relationship with Gu Qing.

It seems to be developing into a 'sibling couple 2.0'.

As for her... she was the female celebrity most disliked by the Gu family.

He's spineless and lacks confidence, yet he loves to freeload.
Naza was so depressed from all the criticism, but the Gu family still contributed their efforts.

But there is no way,
Zhao Liying is loved by fans.

It's inseparable from the huge success of "The Journey of Flower", the fierce battle against obsessive fans during the Running Man era, and the various deeds of actively helping Gu Qing join the Old Nine Gates and fight against Li Yifeng in "The Lost Tomb".

It certainly garnered a lot of goodwill.

Nazha can be connected to Gu Qing.

One of them participated in the first season of Running Man, where she "threw herself into someone's arms" on a boat, which led to her being criticized by fans of the "sister-brother" couple.

Secondly, there's the upcoming drama "Legend of Nine Tails Fox," but we don't know how well it will perform yet. She and Gu Qing have absolutely no on-screen chemistry.

"No wonder, no wonder when I kissed him in the dressing room last night, my husband's eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and he silently said, 'Are you crazy?!'"

Naza felt increasingly uneasy, her scalp tingling and her toes so embarrassed she could dig a three-bedroom apartment out of them.

It wasn't shyness, it was shock!

His girlfriend was laughing and joking right outside the door, just a wall away! And I was supposed to force a kiss on her boyfriend right in front of her?!

What terrible things have I done?!
"But…"

Naza's mind went blank again. "If they really were boyfriend and girlfriend, how could their interactions during the day be so 'clean'? There wasn't a single clue?"

Is it... because they're afraid of their fans?

This thought made Nazha gasp.

This possibility cannot be ruled out.

When a top male idol is revealed to be in a relationship, it's absolutely explosive.

Especially now that Gu Qing's popularity is approaching that of Wu Lu, her reputation is also incredibly good.

I reckon the blog will crash as soon as the relationship is announced.

Not to mention,
His romantic partner is a popular young actress, and they are also seen as a representative of sibling affection in the eyes of many.

The fans of these two groups are likely to cause a major uproar in the Chinese entertainment industry.

"Luckily I stumbled upon it... If the paparazzi had taken a picture of it... I'd be set for life."

Naza shuddered. "Fine, fine, I'll keep this bombshell for you two!" She made the decision with a tragic air.

However, the next second, an overwhelming sense of loss surged in.

Naza hugged her pillow, tears streaming down her face. "Waaah...you two are such a loving couple, what am I supposed to do?"

"Liying! I... I was the one who met my husband first!"

That night, Nazha hugged her wet pillow and couldn't sleep at all.

The next morning, Nazha's two dark circles, comparable to those of a national treasure, were covered by heavy makeup. She opened the door with unsteady steps, ready to go downstairs for breakfast and filming a program.

What a coincidence,

Zhao Liying, looking radiant, was standing right at the elevator entrance!

Sister Zhao was absolutely radiant today!
Her skin was supple and radiant, with a rosy glow, and a smile that she couldn't suppress played on her lips. She was so light that she seemed to float away.

Upon seeing Nazha, she waved energetically, her voice so sweet it could drip honey:

"Nazha! Good morning! Let's go downstairs for breakfast together?"

That smile was so bright it could blind Nazha's dark circles.

Naza looked down at her haggard reflection in the mirror, as if "drained of her life force by a fairy," then looked up at Zhao Liying, who was radiant and beautiful, as if "love's holy water" had been poured over her.

Overwhelmed with grief, she thought, "Is this the legendary 'nourishment of love'?! The effect is too immediate!"

She felt like crying but had no tears, and moved over with heavy steps.

"Ding--"

The elevator doors closed, leaving only the two of them in the small space, and the air instantly became subtle and quiet.

Looking at Zhao Liying's "happy little girl" appearance in the elevator mirror, and then recalling the petite figure swiping her card to enter the room last night, Nazha finally couldn't hold back anymore.

She took a deep breath, turned her head sharply, and stared intently at Zhao Liying. "Liying, you...you're dating my husband?"

"Pfft-cough cough cough!"

Zhao Liying, who was tidying her hair and humming a tune happily in front of the elevator door, seemed to be suddenly choked.

She whirled around, her eyes wide, two red blushes instantly rising on her cheeks like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and her voice rose an octave.
"Nazha! What...what nonsense are you talking about?!"
She waved her hands frantically, her eyes darting around, "What 'your husband' 'dating'?!"

This…this sounds so strange! Nothing like that!”

"You're not dating Gu Qing's younger brother?"

"No talk."

"Really?"

"Seriously, I'd be a dog if I lied!"

The more Nazha looks at Zhao Liying, the more she resembles a Chihuahua.
I don't believe you for a second. She was just one step away from catching them in the act.

"Oh, that's good. Then I'll go after my husband openly and honestly!"

Naza deliberately dragged out the word "husband," adding, "When the time comes... you can't be angry, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Liying's inner alarm bells went off like crazy! But her face immediately switched to "national good sister" mode, her smile flawless, even carrying a hint of encouragement:

"Oh, go ahead and pursue yours! Why should I get angry?"

She blinked her big eyes, appearing incredibly innocent and candid, "It's normal for someone to like your brother who's so outstanding. Keep it up, Nazha!"

She added in her mind, "On the premise that... you can actually win him over."

“So generous?”

Seeing Zhao Liying's "perfect" reaction, Nazha's doubts not only didn't disappear, but instead grew wildly like weeds.

"Denied so quickly and forcefully... with such impeccable facial expression control... and then encouraged me to pursue her?"

This makes no sense at all!
In a flash, a word that was tacitly understood in the entertainment industry suddenly popped into Nazha's unusually active brain, which was tormented by gossip and dark circles:
"Could it be that…"

Naza was extremely surprised, and her eyes were instantly filled with shock, inquiry, and a hint of...joy when she looked at Zhao Liying.
Is it that kind of "special relationship" that's 'limited to the production crew,' 'limited to the show,' 'secret, irresponsible, and without commitment'?

Once the thought came to mind, Nazha felt it was extremely reasonable, and that this was even the most likely probability!

The elevator dinged as it arrived at the restaurant floor.

"Nazha, I'm going now."

The door opened, and Zhao Liying practically darted out first, her retreating figure conveying a sense of panicked escape.

Naza stood still, her dark circles gradually being concealed by her bright, beautiful eyes.

　Oh no, I'm so sleepy. I'll finish the fourth update this morning.
