Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

Chapter 305 Old Guo (5k)
……

……

"Holy crap! Don't cut the camera!"

"Where's Gu Qing? Where did Gu Qing go? I want to see my brother!"

"The most crucial moment! Whose hand did the younger brother grab first?!"

"The banner of Er Yuehong and Ya Tou will never fall!"

"Ha, we comic convention siblings (are not convinced!)"

The general public and fans of the two female celebrities have never been so resistant to Liu Yifei's appearance—they are holding their breath and waiting to see the meeting!

at the same time,

Liu Tianxian walked lightly into the inner room, her complexion noticeably rosier—Gu Qing's timely milk candy had pulled her back from the brink of hypoglycemia.

An elegant and poised smile played on her lips as she glanced at her seat, only to find that the place where Gu Qing was supposed to sit was empty.

"Qianqian, over here!"

Ni Ni, usually known for her powerful aura and effortlessly sophisticated style, was now behaving like a little fan meeting her idol, greeting Liu Yifei with sparkling eyes.
He even subconsciously moved to the side to give her more space.

"Nini." Liu Tianxian sat down, exchanged a few pleasantries with Ni Ni, and then her gaze fell again on the empty seat. "Where...is he?"

You mean that little brother?

Ni Ni affectionately nuzzled Liu Yifei, her tone carrying a hint of envy she herself didn't realize. She pointed with her exquisitely manicured fingertips, "Look, he was the busiest person there, flitting around like a butterfly, stealing the spotlight."

"They should be over there right now."

Upon hearing this, Liu Tianxian slightly raised her graceful neck and looked in the direction Ni Ni was pointing with her clear, beautiful eyes.

In the crowd, Gu Qing was seen intimately embracing a female star who had stood up. Her face was turned to this side, and her smile was so bright it was dazzling, as if she carried the warmth of the sun. Her whole being was filled with a joyful and carefree spirit.

"Smiling so sweetly, who are you hugging?"

A strange sense of curiosity flickered in Liu Tianxian's heart, and she subconsciously looked up at the large hanging screen—

As if telepathically connected, the camera instantly cut to Liu Shishi's gentle, smiling face.

"is her……"

Liu Tianxian's eyes flickered slightly; she was naturally familiar with this woman. This "older sister," who was nominally older than her, had debuted with the title "Little Liu Tianxian."

This left her team somewhat at a loss for words.

However, it must be admitted that the two do share some similarities in their eyes and brows.

At this moment, on the screen, Liu Shishi is raising her hand and gently rubbing Gu Qing's hair with the affection of an older sister.

Looking at this scene, Liu Tianxian felt a strange and subtle feeling rising in her heart—how come... it's like watching another version of herself making such an intimate gesture?
It feels weird.

"Senior Sister, I'm going to check on Sister Liying." Gu Qing's voice came through the faint noise.

"Go ahead, go ahead." Liu Shishi smiled sweetly and let go of his hand.

Gu Qing clearly followed the "proximity principle," turning around confidently and walking towards Zhao Liying's location.

however,
When the camera followed the viewer again as if anticipating their move, the audience was astonished to discover that Zhao Liying had been placed in the far corner of the first row.

Given her current popularity and the number of hit dramas she has starred in, this position is clearly not commensurate with her status.

But the rules of the fashion world can sometimes be just that realistic and cold.

The camera was already focused on Zhao Liying. At this moment, although she maintained an impeccable polite smile, her almond-shaped eyes couldn't hide her anticipation.

She watched longingly as that tall figure walked through the crowd, becoming clearer and clearer.

"Hello, Teacher Zhang." "Hello, Teacher Li."

Gu Qingxian politely nodded to the senior film industry figures at the table, displaying a humble demeanor.

After exchanging pleasantries, he turned to Zhao Liying.

"Little brother, you've finally come..."

Zhao Liying stood up almost immediately, stretched out her arms, and hugged Gu Qing tightly with a hint of dependence.

This hug instantly ignited screams from the fans at the scene.

'Aaaaaah—Second Master's Party is under heaven!!'

'That girl is the real star! Who else is there?!'

From *The Journey of Flower* to *The Mystic Nine*, a second collaboration is guaranteed to be a hit! Capitalists, open your eyes! The script for a third collaboration must be delivered quickly!

Amidst the deafening screams, Zhao Liying buried her face in Gu Qing's shoulder and whispered in a low voice that only the two of them could hear.

Being treated so obviously differently, the grievance and embarrassment she felt were known only to herself.

"I'm here to support you, aren't I?"

Gu Qing responded in a low voice, gently stroking the back of her head with a soothing touch, and then slightly distanced himself.

Zhao Liying tried hard to control her surging emotions, but her ears quietly turned red.

Hearing the fans' even more frenzied screams, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes curved into crescents, her gaze as watery as she stared at Gu Qing, and she even became somewhat incoherent about what she was about to say.

"Tsk, these two... something's not right."

"That look in his eyes... he's still not out of character, is he?"

"Nonsense! If you had to act in front of that face every day, how could you break character? You'd want to live in the play your whole life! Youth is wonderful!"

"Liu Yifei, Liu Shishi, Zhao Liying... and then there was Yang Mi before... wow!"

"The future life is to be feared."

The veteran actors at the table exchanged knowing glances and whispered among themselves, with a few of them making no attempt to hide their envy.

They were all too familiar with Zhao Liying's almost overflowing emotions—who hasn't been moved both on and off screen?
This is an open secret to the public.

"Little brother, it's almost time, you should go back now."

Zhao Liying was worried that Gu Qing's lingering too long would cause controversy, so she urged him in a low voice, but her eyes were full of reluctance.

"By the way, Sister Liying,"

Gu Qing looked around, a little puzzled. "Have you seen Sister Jiang Xin? I remember her name was on the list."

He plans to meet all the acquaintances on the list.

There has never been such a good opportunity before.

"Sister Jiang Xin?"

Zhao Liying tilted her delicate chin slightly backward, "It seems to be in the third row. There were so many people earlier, I didn't dare go over to say hello..."

"Then let's go together."

Gu Qing's eyes lit up. "It's been so long since our Hua Qiangu team has all been together."

"I...I'll go with you?"

Zhao Liying was a little confused and subconsciously shrank her neck.

At this top-tier fashion gala, where hierarchy is strict and every move is magnified, you can wander around as freely as if you were at home.

She doesn't have the guts!
Even someone as shrewd and worldly as Yang Mi wouldn't dare to act so recklessly.

What's the difference between this and refusing to leave the red carpet?
I'll definitely get yelled at, and I might even get blacklisted by the organizers!

Of all the people present, Gu Qing was probably the only exception.

He is incredibly popular, a unique figure among the new generation; he is also young, with a sunny and clean image, naturally possessing the "boy next door" filter.
In addition, she is sincere and generous in her dealings with people. Whether being put on the arm by a male celebrity or chatting and laughing with a female celebrity, she always appears incredibly natural and harmonious, without any sense of ambiguity or flattery.

Outsiders, seeing this, can only smile with a kind auntie's delight. Even if they feel a pang of jealousy, they can only sigh, "This is the capital of fame."

"What are you afraid of? Let's go."

Gu Qinghun didn't care. He gently pushed Zhao Liying's shoulder, and the two of them walked towards the back in full view of everyone.

"My goodness! Where is my little brother taking Sister Liying?"

"Are you two going to find a secluded spot... to whisper secrets?"

"Holy crap! If they really disappear together, what's the difference between this and an official announcement?!"

Viewers at home were stunned, and the celebrities on set also turned to look.

Stretching their necks to watch this unconventional scene, they couldn't help but gasp in astonishment: Are all young people these days so reckless?
until--

"They're here! My little brother's here! Even Liying's here!"

Jiang Xin's previously dejected expression instantly brightened, her face glowing with pride, like a peacock displaying its plumage. She smugly showed off to Wang Ziwen beside her, "Little mosquito! See that? This is my status!"

"They actually made it?!"

Wang Ziwen was also stunned, her face filled with disbelief.

"Little brother, Liying!"

Jiang Xin, being a straightforward and outspoken woman, couldn't sit still and immediately left her seat to run over to greet him.

She first gave Zhao Liying a bear hug, pulling her into her arms and spinning her around. Then, she turned her attention to Gu Qing, pinching his cheeks mercilessly with her two "claws." Pouting, she complained aggrievedly, "You finally remembered your older sister! I thought you'd forgotten about this washed-up old lady!"

"We would never dare to forget you, the 'Immortal Zi Xun'!"

Gu Qing tilted her head back and tried to break free from the 'clutches', saying, "Gently, gently, don't poke me, or my makeup will be ruined."

"Sister Jiang Xin, we're best friends!" Zhao Liying happily hugged Jiang Xin back.

Jiang Xin led the two women, one on each side, back to their table. The atmosphere instantly became as lively as a gathering of old friends.

"Oh—so you went to find Jiang Xin!"

"I was so scared! I thought they were going to elope!"

"Sobbing, my family is in tears! It feels like I'm back to Hua Qiangu from last summer! The Holy Lord, Little Bone, and Fairy Zixun are all here! All that's missing is Bai Zihua."

"Don't even mention Bai Zihua, just thinking about him makes me angry!"

Fans were finally relieved and were thrilled to see the three of them together.

"Come on, Liying, sit here!"

Jiang Xin patted her thigh with pride, then enthusiastically pulled Zhao Liying aside to introduce her, "This is my best friend, Liu Tao. You must all know her, right?"

"What about me??" Wang Ziwen raised an eyebrow in dissatisfaction.

"you?"

Jiang Xin glanced at her sideways and blurted out, "Not quite there yet, get in line!"

On the other side, Gu Qing was shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries with Han Hong.

"Teacher Han Hong, it's been a long time!"

"Wow! Young man, you've gotten even more handsome since I last saw you! This outfit is absolutely stunning!"

Han Hong has a loud and clear voice and is generous with her praise.

"Teacher Han Hong, if you keep praising me like this, I might just have to send you money again," Gu Qing joked with a smile.

"Hahaha--!"

Han Hong burst into laughter, patting Gu Qing's shoulder forcefully, "No need! You've done enough! I'll remember it!"

"Hello, Gu Qing."

After greeting Zhao Liying, Liu Tao turned his gentle gaze to Gu Qing, his smile full of tolerance and warmth, and extended his hand.

"Hello, Professor Liu Tao." Gu Qing greeted him respectfully, shaking hands in return.

"Little brother, don't call me teacher, that's too formal! Call me sister!"

Jiang Xin, who was busy kneading Zhao Liying's chubby cheeks, immediately interrupted with dissatisfaction upon hearing this.

"Yes."

Liu Tao, with her straightforward personality, chimed in, "You're Xin Xin's brother, so you're my brother too! If anything happens in the future, I'll protect you!"

"Sister Liu Tao." Gu Qing readily complied and changed her address naturally.

"now it's right."

Liu Tao smiled, but his gaze lingered on Gu Qing, especially her elegant ancient costume, which he found increasingly stunning.

The thought in my mind grew stronger: "It's so similar! This is the person who stepped out of the book!"

Given her connection with Jiang Xin, she felt she had to make this happen.

The atmosphere at this table became incredibly lively, so much so that it clashed with the pretentious and fashionable ambiance around it.

Even Wang Ziwen found a topic to discuss: 'Little brother, I heard you really like *The Three-Body Problem*?'

She's a well-known artsy young woman in the industry.

"Correct."

Gu Qing's eyes lit up. "I especially love the grand cosmology and profound exploration of human nature in it."

He spoke eloquently and seamlessly switched to chatting with Han Hong about music, showing no sign of weakness in his professionalism.

Zhao Liying and Jiang Xin huddled together, laughing heartily about something.

The whole table was filled with laughter and joy, making them the most down-to-earth and eye-catching "oddballs" in the venue.

This harmonious scene made Su Mang, who was not far away, look a little embarrassed.

Her parties need to be high-end, elegant, and sophisticated fashion dinners!
You guys are having such a great time chatting, is that appropriate?!

"younger brother--"

Su walked over quickly in her high heels, forcing a professional smile on her face, but her voice carried an undeniable urgency, "The banquet is about to officially begin, you should go back to your seat."

"What are you going to say back to?"

Before Gu Qing could answer, Han Hong's loud voice interrupted, waving her hand dismissively, "It's fine to sit here! We're having a good chat! Not enough chairs? We'll add more!"

He then made a move to get up and move a chair.

"Oh dear! My dear teacher Han Hong! Please don't!"

Su Mang's scalp tingled instantly. He didn't dare to confront this philanthropic tycoon head-on. He could only lower his voice and plead with a smile, "Our positions were all planned in advance. The charity auction process, camera angles, and donation records all correspond to each other!"
If things fall apart, how can we conduct charity work in an orderly manner in the future?

The word "charity" struck a nerve with Han Hong. She frowned.
Although he was annoyed, he knew that Su Mang was right, so he could only snort sullenly.

"Sister Jiang Xin, Teacher Han Hong, Sister Liu Tao, Sister Ziwen,"

Gu Qing stood up at the right moment, her smile still gentle and polite. "Director Su Mang is right, we can't cause trouble for charity work. We had a very pleasant chat today, let's get together again another day! Sister Liying, let's go."

"Yes, yes, yes! My brother is so sensible!"

Su Mang felt as if she had been granted a pardon and quickly grabbed Gu Qing's arm to lead her outside.

As for Zhao Liying? She didn't even bother to glance at her.

We returned to the star-studded yet somewhat aloof front-row main table.

"Having fun?" Liu Tianxian turned her delicate face slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips, and looked at Gu Qing, who had just sat down.

"Ah."

Gu Qing replied with a bright smile, still tinged with excitement, her eyes sparkling, "I saw many friends I hadn't seen in a long time, and we had a great time chatting."

He even subconsciously turned around and glanced again at the bustling area behind him.

"..."

Liu Tianxian was stunned for a moment by his unreserved, heartfelt joy. It was a kind of satisfaction that she rarely felt herself, a satisfaction purely derived from interpersonal interaction.

A barely perceptible hint of envy crept into her heart. She lowered her eyelashes and whispered, "You have... so many friends."

There was a hint of melancholy in her tone that she herself was unaware of.

“Big sister,” Gu Qing withdrew her gaze and glanced at her sideways, “Don’t joke around. If you want to make friends, you could line up all the way to Paris from the entrance of this venue.”

"Hey, hey, hey, you call other people 'sister,' but why do you call me 'big sister'? Am I that old?"

Liu Tianxian was extremely annoyed and couldn't help but lightly pat Gu Qing's shoulder.

"Don't ruin my clothes, I'm going to perform on stage later."

Gu Qing shifted her position closer to Song Qian, turned her head, and asked, "Sister Qian, did you still practice dancing after you returned to China?"

"Of course I'll practice!"

Song Qian started talking, "My main focus and contracts are still in South Korea, so I can't relax my stage standards at all..."

The two of them then began chatting about professional topics, oblivious to everyone else around them.

Yang Mi, standing to the side, stared in disbelief, her charming fox-like eyes wide open.

She watched as Gu Qing switched from Han Hong's outgoing personality to Wang Ziwen's artistic temperament, then to Jiang Xin's boisterousness, and now she was chatting with Song Qian about professional dance... Her social skills were simply unparalleled!
"A young man has arrived in the Chinese entertainment industry, and his social skills are off the charts!"

For the first time, Da Mimi experienced a sense of frustration in terms of social skills.

How come this kid can chat with anyone?
But why did he lose his temper after just two sentences?
Is it that you don't know how to talk, or that you simply don't want to talk?
Yang Mi immediately ruled out the latter; how could anyone not want to chat with her?!

Just then, the lights in the venue changed slightly, and melodious music began to play.

The charity gala has finally officially begun.

Tonight's hosting lineup is truly impressive: one is the elegant goddess Lin Chi-ling, who spans the memories of three generations.

The other is Guo Degang, a rising star in crosstalk who is naturally funny and controls the rhythm of the entire performance.

Gu Qing, who was talking quietly with Song Qian, subconsciously looked up at the stage.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Ms. Guo, with her signature heart-shaped hairstyle and amiable smile, seemed to be glancing at him subtly.

That look in his eyes... seemed to have some ill intentions.
