I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

“Look, Kardashian and Taylor are both girls,” Qin Yunchu said. “JX wouldn’t hit a woman, would he?”

Everyone nodded. That wasn't without reason.

Qin Yunchu then said, "Justin is very young, JX probably wouldn't bully the weak, right?"

This reason was much weaker than the previous one, but it was still passable, and everyone nodded again.

“That leaves only Kanye West,” Qin Yunchu said.

Everyone fell silent.

Qin Yun Chu said, "Then I'll choose this one?"

Jiang Xinhai suddenly said, "Yun Chu, wait a minute."

"what happened?"

“Have you ever thought about what would happen if we had that question earlier, where the call for help from an off-stage contact went directly to the lead singer of Guns N' Roses?” Jiang Xinhai said. “What if we had that question again and connected off-stage? Who would have answered the phone?”

"Is it possible that... Taylor Swift was the one who answered the phone?"

……

At this moment, in Jiangcheng, dozens of kilometers away from Chen Ya's hometown, the small village where "Poetic Life" was filmed.

Lu Yu walked along Libu Alley, a lane specifically designed to rip off out-of-towners, holding a microphone and trying to hide her fatigue with a smile.

Behind her followed a camera, the man carrying it sweating profusely.

Lu Yu is a well-known female host and journalist.

Former host of China National Radio and former host of the program "Human Observation".

She had a run of bad luck recently.

Because she was tricked by Liu Chenmin of Qixing Company on the program "Human Observation", she made a big fuss and was severely criticized by the station.

Because of her hosting the program, she accidentally exposed the story of a mysterious Chinese writer, making the whole world aware that China has a writer who has won four Nobel Prizes in Literature.

Moreover, she is suspected of destroying one of China's greatest literary works.

I heard that this matter alarmed the higher-ups, and even the central leaders made a special call to the station director to inquire about the situation.

As the person primarily responsible for this incident, she was undoubtedly to blame, but considering her years of service, she was not severely punished; she was simply transferred from her original program.

She is no longer the host of "Human Observation," but rather the host of a local program.

She thought she would have to work for several more years before she could make it big, but unexpectedly, her luck turned around again—the famous foreign actress Taylor Swift came to China for an event!

Moreover, she found an opportunity during Taylor's visit to China to take half a day to explore Jiangcheng and do a simple live stream.

Because this would help showcase Taylor's approachable image and her pro-China attitude, the other party's management team quickly agreed.

Taylor rarely gets a chance to go out and have fun, so she has no objections.

And so, Lu Yu's production crew followed Taylor Swift and wandered around Jiangcheng.

I just didn't expect the weather to be so hot.

There were many street vendors and throngs of tourists.

The road is paved with bluestone slabs, and there are antique-style buildings on both sides.

Taylor Swift, being a foreigner, unexpectedly showed a particular fondness for this place with its strong Chinese influence.

She chattered incessantly the whole way, and would look at anything she saw with great interest.

Unfortunately, he always gets recognized by fans, and he spends most of the day signing autographs.

The sun was getting stronger and stronger, and Taylor finally couldn't take it anymore, so Lu Yu suggested that they find a place to rest.

The group rested at an outdoor tea house, ordered some cold drinks, and then Taylor asked:

"Lu, how's the live stream going? Are there many viewers?"

“There are quite a lot,” Lu Yu said, looking down at her phone. “You’re very popular; everyone’s here to see you.”

"how many?"

"Six million online viewers."

Taylor's eyes widened: "What!? So many?"

Lu Yu smiled and said, "Because there are a lot of Chinese people here."

Taylor clapped his hands twice: "Wow, that's amazing. I don't get this many viewers even when I do live streams in the US."

“That’s nothing,” Lu Yu said. “It was a last-minute live stream, so the promotion wasn’t enough. Actually, you’re much more popular.”

"What are the audience saying?" Taylor asked curiously.

Lu Yu glanced down.

Most of the comments were from people showing their support and cheering for Taylor Swift.

Another part recommends Taylor to eat all sorts of delicious food, but some of these recommendations are rather malicious, suggesting she try things like scorpions and cicada pupae.

Another part... all strangely mentioned a word that Lu Yu was unfamiliar with:

JX.

She couldn't understand it at all.

At first, she thought it was an abbreviation like the recently popular YYDS or YYSY.

But after watching for a while, she realized that JX seemed to be referring to a person.

Does Taylor Swift know JX?

Did Taylor Swift really date JX?

Taylor Swift, go watch "The Poetic Life"! It's very important! It's about JX!

If it's just asking about gossip or something similar, that's fine.

Making them watch other live programs in the same time slot is going too far!

Lu Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Many people have praised you for being beautiful and photogenic."

"Thank you." Taylor Swift smiled sweetly.

"Many viewers recommended you try Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste), but we didn't have time to eat, so we're sorry."

"I'll definitely eat it if I have the chance," Taylor Swift said.

"And also..." Lu Yu paused, then said, "Many viewers are talking about JX, Taylor Swift. Who is JX? Is she also a star from Europe or America?"

Taylor Swift’s body trembled violently when she heard the letters JX.

Chapter 164 First Encounter

"Who is JX? Is he someone you know?"

Taylor Swift's body trembled violently upon hearing the question.

Her beautiful blonde hair shimmered in the sunlight, and her cherry-red lips were slightly parted, revealing two white rabbit teeth, making her look very cute.

Having navigated the cutthroat world of Western entertainment for so long, Taylor was no innocent lamb, but hearing that name suddenly on foreign soil still caused her to lose her composure.

"JX?"

She repeated it in an exaggerated tone.

"Hmm?" Lu Yu noticed her emotional fluctuation. "What's wrong?"

Taylor stretched out a hand, rubbed his forehead, then waved it in the air and said, "Wait a minute, I'm getting up... uh, just catching my breath, don't worry..."

She stood up, the white iron chair scraping against the floor with a "crackling" sound. The heel of her high heel was caught by the chair leg, and she stumbled, almost falling.

Lu Yu quickly stood up: "Are you alright?"

Taylor stood in the sunlight, spread her arms to praise the sun, then clasped her hands together over her chest and took a deep breath…

She exhaled two breaths of stale air, seemingly trying to dispel the frustration in her heart.

After completing this ritualistic sequence, she resumed her usual smile, turned to look at Lu Yu, and gave him a flawless, perfect smile:

"It's alright now!"

But Lu Yu felt that she didn't seem to be alright at all.

Taylor sat back down, confidently tossing her blonde hair, but when she turned her back to the camera, she had a look on her face that of someone who had just been seriously injured and had eaten a lemon.

JX.

A name that holds special meaning for her.

Even she herself hadn't heard that name for many years.

I thought I had almost forgotten about it, but I never expected it to be brought up again in a foreign land.

Now she realized: Oh, isn't JX a Chinese person?

The waiter brought over a pot of Longjing tea, filled the cups for the two of them, and Taylor Swift elegantly picked up her teacup and said:

"JX is my first boyfriend."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu's eyebrows practically flew up into her bangs.

The chat room suddenly became flooded with comments.

Half of them were shocked, and the other half were wailing.

It was like a scene of collective madness.

"Damn it! They really are something else!"

"So it seems JX was telling the truth, he really did go to America and date Taylor Swift..."

"JX, what a terrible thing you've done! I hate you! I'm going to kill you!!!"

……

Lu Yu looked embarrassed.

She didn't know how to respond.

Having dealt with the Chinese entertainment industry for so many years, Lu Yu's only thought at this moment was: Is this something I can talk about?

Is it really okay to say this?

But then she thought about it again and felt relieved.

It seems like every boyfriend of Taylor's has been quite high-profile.

If we include JX, she seems to have publicly acknowledged seven or eight boyfriends so far.

However, the title "first love boyfriend" is still quite intimidating.

Her only question was why the audience suddenly brought up JX?

“I just realized that JX is Chinese,” Taylor said, holding her tea. “He’s the one who told me I got the nickname ‘Tay Tay.’ It seems I really do have a connection with China.”

A trickle of tea spilled from Lu Yu's lips.

She frantically pulled out some tissues and quickly wiped it off. Luckily, the foundation was of good quality and wasn't wiped off as well.

"JX...is he Chinese?" Lu Yu's voice was slightly off-key.

“Yes,” Taylor turned to look at her, “Didn’t you know? I thought he was a household name in China.”

"Actually, this is the first time I've heard this name," Lu Yu said. "What's his real name?"

"Real name?" she murmured, repeating the word over and over.

She frowned. She frowned because she didn't understand why someone like JX wasn't known by everyone in China.

After taking a sip of tea, she felt she understood a little.

JX has never been someone who cares whether others know his name or not.

It's like she still doesn't know his real name.

"Then, your connection with China is truly profound," Lu Yu said. "Could you tell me about your past?"

Taylor Swift did not answer her question.
