HuaYu14: Female celebrities are going too fast.

Bai Mengyan sat in the back seat, leaning against the rearview mirror, and saw Zhou Xun still standing by the roadside, one hand in his pocket, looking down at his phone.

A strange thought popped into her head: Why didn't Zhou Xun chase after the car and shout at her?

"Mengyan, please don't go! How can I live without you!"

If that were the case, she would definitely tell the driver to stop immediately and carry Zhou Xun back.

Ding!

The ringing of her phone pulled Bai Mengyan back to reality. She muttered to herself:

"What are you thinking? Do you think this is a novel, and you're the female lead?"

She picked up her phone; it was a message from Zhou Xun: [Message me when you get home.]

Bai Mengyan: [Okay.]

She placed her phone face down on her lap, turned to look out the window, and saw the neon lights on the skyscrapers outside, which Bai Mengyan had seen countless times.

But she could only watch; the prosperity of Shanghai was irrelevant to her. She was just a lowly laborer struggling at the bottom of society.

As he pondered, Zhou Xun's last words, "I want to hold an umbrella for others," came to mind.

Bai Mengyan changed her position to make herself more comfortable.

"Zhou Xun was referring to 'others,' not 'you.' But surely I'm one of those 'others,' right?"

She rolled her eyes at herself in her mind: Bai Mengyan, wake up! They're just helping a junior. Do you think you're the special one?

Bai Mengyan's original focus on work and money was completely disrupted by Zhou Xun.

Twenty minutes later, Bai Mengyan arrived at the apartment building, thanked the driver, and went upstairs.

Zhou Xun called the car, and of course, he paid for it.

Bai Mengyan returned to the apartment and changed her shoes at the door.

Bai Mengyan's roommate, A Shuang, was curled up on the sofa in the living room watching a drama. Seeing her return, A Shuang sprang to her feet, glided over to Bai Mengyan, and asked with a gossipy look:

"Mengyan, how have I always treated you?"

Bai Mengyan looked at her and nodded: "You're alright, what's up?"

"That's not very fair of you. You had a boyfriend and kept it a secret from me?"

Bai Mengyan walked past her with a nonchalant expression and replied, "I don't have a boyfriend."

"Keep pretending, keep pretending," Ah Shuang said. "This afternoon, I saw you running out with a handsome guy."

"Still saying he's not your boyfriend? Confess now."

Bai Mengyan went to the kitchen to pour herself a glass of water, her expression still blank: "Just ordinary friends."

"What's the standard procedure?" Ah Shuang pressed.

"A friend from work," Bai Mengyan said, sitting down on the sofa. "He said he'd teach me how to act."

"Teach you acting?" Ah Shuang narrowed her eyes. "A guy, inviting you to dinner alone, and then teaching you acting? Are you guys filming 'The Birth of an Actor'?"

"He just meant well, don't overthink it."

"Kindness!" Ah Shuang clicked her tongue twice. "Bai Mengyan, do you have some misunderstanding about 'kindness'? Do you know what it means when a man is nice to a woman for no reason?"

"What?"

The enemy's strategist has arrived on the battlefield.

Ah Shuang slapped her thigh: "He likes you and is pursuing you!"

Bai Mengyan's ears turned red instantly: "Don't talk nonsense, we really are just ordinary friends."

Ah Shuang rolled her eyes: "Fine, just keep hypnotizing yourself. Once that man stops liking you, I'll go and win him over."

"Ah Shuang, how could you do this?" Bai Mengyan turned her head and glared at her.

"You're getting anxious, look, you're getting anxious." Ah Shuang chuckled, seeing that her sudden action had worked. "Still just friends."

"At least for now, we're still just friends," Bai Mengyan muttered to herself.

"This is boring." Ah Shuang picked up her phone again. "By the way, aren't you off the day after tomorrow? How about we go see a movie together?"

I have something to do the day after tomorrow.

"What is it?"

Bai Mengyan bit her lip: "Go to his house... his friend's house, to learn acting."

Ah Shuang almost dropped her phone.

"Aren't you hungry, sister? Are we going to his house already? How many days have you known each other?"

"Less than a week."

"Holy crap!" Ah Shuang jumped up from the sofa. "You've only known him for less than a week, and you're already going to his house?"

"It's not his house, it's his friend's house."

Is his friend home?

Bai Mengyan shook her head. "He's not here."

"Isn't it all the same?" Ah Shuang crossed her legs. "Let me analyze it for you."

"That guy is handsome and rich. He asked you to his house alone after knowing you for less than a week. He's just after you, a total jerk!"

Bai Mengyan nodded in agreement, saying, "What you said does make sense."

Ah Shuang breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought Bai Mengyan would say something like "He's different," which is typical of love-struck people.

But thankfully, she's not that kind of person.

"Let's go to the movies together the day after tomorrow."

"No, thank you." Bai Mengyan shook her head. "I still have to go see him the day after tomorrow."

"What?"

"I have my own considerations," Bai Mengyan explained. "I originally had the idea of ​​entering the entertainment industry, but I lacked the foundation and connections."

"But Zhou Xun has both of those qualities, so I'm willing to give it a try. If he's really a scumbag and just lusting after my body, I'll stay far away from him."

But if not, then I'll have missed an opportunity, a chance to turn things around.

Seeing Bai Mengyan's incredibly serious gaze, Ah Shuang decided not to try to persuade her any further. It was a fact that models didn't earn a lot of money, and it was understandable that she wanted to make a career for herself.

"Okay," Ah Shuang said. "I'll look up his name and what movies he's acted in for you."

Zhou Xun? I couldn't find this person on Weibo.

The trailer for "God of War" has been released. Ah Shuang clicked on it and came across Zhou Xun's name. She handed the photo to Bai Mengyan:

"Look, is this the person you know?"

Bai Mengyan glanced at it and nodded: "Yes."

She also saw Zhou Xun playing the role of Lü Bu, acting opposite the popular actress Nazha.

She was supposed to be at least the third male lead in the show, but Zhou Xun told her that she only played a minor, unknown role.

Why did he deliberately conceal it?

"Then it seems they are real actors."

Ah Shuang's words interrupted Bai Mengyan's thoughts.

She then said, "Then I'll go with you."

"No, that's not appropriate. After all, I'm the one who needs their help."

"Okay." Ah Shuang took a deep breath, pressed her shoulder, and said, word by word, "When you go the day after tomorrow, remember three things: don't go too late, don't drink alcohol, and send me your location anytime."

"Okay." Bai Mengyan nodded and did not refuse again.

This can be considered a form of protection for one's own safety.

After washing up, Bai Mengyan returned to her room, lay down on the bed, and pressed her breasts together. She checked her phone and saw a message from Zhou Xun: [Are you home yet?]

The message indicates it was sent an hour ago.

She immediately clicked on the message and replied: [I got home a while ago, but I had something to do and didn't check my phone.]

After the message was sent, the other party replied instantly: [Okay. If my phone order hadn't shown that you had been delivered, I would have called the police. It's good that you're alright.]

Bai Mengyan: [Mm.]

Zhou Xun: [Get some rest. See you the day after tomorrow.]

Bai Mengyan: [You should get some rest too. See you the day after tomorrow.]
