At this moment, Lin Mo’s feelings were unknown.
Chu Ge felt somewhat relieved in his heart. He glanced at Gu Yi and asked, “Do you want to go have a drink?”
Today was a lucky day. After shaking off Lin Mo, he really wanted to celebrate a bit.
Gu Yi was willing to accept Chu Ge’s attempt to make up for his conscience, but he didn’t want to get involved in anything deeper with him. He replied, “It’s better for us to keep our distance.”
With that said, Gu Yi pressed the handlebars and prepared to get out of the car.
Listening to the man’s words about wanting to draw a clear boundary with himself, Chu Ge pretended to be hurt. His deep, watery eyes seemed genuinely sad but also carried a hint of a smile.
He knew in his heart that this guy disliked Lin Mo and incidentally dragged him into it. “So straightforward? At least I helped you. Can’t you pretend a bit?” Chu Ge said.
“If you want to find someone who can pretend, just pick anyone from your phone contacts,” Gu Yi replied casually, showing a hint of mischievousness in his smile, refusing to cooperate and even mocking Chu Ge.
Stars flickered in Chu Ge’s eyes.
Others treated the prince of the Chu family with reverence and flattery. He rarely heard such rude words, but his face did not show displeasure.
A satisfied curve appeared at the corner of his mouth. He hadn’t expected this man to still act this way even after changing bodies.
Seeing him about to leave, Chu Ge couldn’t help but call out, “Gu Yi.”
Gu Yi turned to look at him, raising an eyebrow.
“If you want to keep your distance from me, I’m afraid it’s impossible for the rest of your life.”
He had traveled through so many worlds to find this person; naturally, he wouldn’t easily let him go.
Gu Yi felt it was inexplicable but didn’t say much.
Chu Ge entered the house, and his phone immediately received a message.
[Chu Ge, I admit I was wrong. I apologize to you. I don’t like Gu Yi, especially that day when he boasted about being close to you, it made me feel sour. I didn’t mean those breakup words.]
Chu Ge looked at the message with a smile in his eyes, and thought this person was quite funny.
Bai Qing only told Gu Yi about this matter after it was finalized and he learned about it very late. Why would Gu Yi deliberately boast to someone?
But this chat record… should not be kept.
Chu Ge narrowed his eyes and replied quietly.
[Mr. Lin, please handle your work matters with Sister Li Mian. Further discussion is unnecessary. It’s already over.]
After replying, Chu Ge casually tossed his phone on the sofa and turned to take a shower.
The drama that Lin Mo snatched away from him a few days ago was never in Chu Ge’s interest from the start.
After this variety show, he would give Gu Yi something better.
There are always some short-sighted people in this world. As soon as they catch a whiff of an opportunity, they can’t restrain themselves and directly snatch whatever they find valuable, regardless of its quality.
How boring…
In the years since Lin Mo’s debut, making headlines was nothing unusual for him.
But today, he tossed and turned all night, exhausted and unable to sleep because Gu Yi and Chu Ge’s collaboration hadn’t been confirmed yet.
And below the comments section, all that could be seen were unanimous praises and expectations.
[It looks like the Prince intends to personally guide Gu Yi. Our Gu Yi’s days of hardship are finally over.]
[The Prince is humble and treasures talent. Admirable!]
[His debut variety show is considered an honor.]
[Gu Yi must take good care of our Chu Ge!]
With a big shot like the Prince supporting Gu Yi’s return to the variety show, it seemed impossible for anything to go wrong.
The more Lin Mo read these hopeful comments, the more furious he became. Finally, he threw his phone directly into the toilet before going to bed.
After this news spread, many loyal fans immediately went to Gu Yi’s Weibo to look for any clues about his comeback.
But Gu Yi’s days were as monastic as can be. Except for some super straight guy outfits forced upon him by Bai Qing, there was really nothing else.
This afternoon, Bai Qing couldn’t bear it anymore and finally approached Gu Yi.
“Do you understand? This is an opportunity. Have you ever gained a hundred thousand followers overnight in your life? Why aren’t you quickly posting on Weibo about this opportunity! It’s been a year since your last post. Didn’t I tell you that regularly updating your Weibo with daily life will attract fans?” Bai Qing exclaimed.
Gu Yi thought Bai Qing was overly excited but could also understand.
He lived in a small apartment in a not-so-safe area because the rent was cheap. There wasn’t much to show off about his location, and he didn’t know what he should share.
As expected, Bai Qing anticipated this and brought over some dessert, saying, “Today, the Prince asked me to bring this to you from the company. Take a picture.”
Only then did Gu Yi take the phone.
He found a good angle, took a picture, and posted it on Weibo.
Sure enough, comments and reactions quickly started pouring in.
“Don’t be too aloof. There are some questions you can answer. Just keep a balance.” Gu Yi took a spoon and delicately tasted a bite of the desert.
The chocolate mousse looked appealing, with a nice presentation and a sweet, silky texture that wasn’t overly rich. It was indeed quite good.
“Did you specially choose this flavor?” Gu Yi asked.
Bai Qing shook his head, sat down while scrolling through Weibo, and said, “Chu Ge packed this for me to bring to you. It seems he picked it out for you.”
At this point, Bai Qing looked up at Gu Yi seriously and said, “I know you value your pride, but Chu Ge seems to be treating you decently this time. Although we don’t know when he might change his mind, you should seize this opportunity to rise as much as possible. Auntie needs money urgently after her surgery, so don’t let emotions cloud your judgment and miss out on a good chance.”
Gu Yi pondered for a moment as the sweet taste spread in his mouth.
He curled his lips slightly and responded calmly.
Having witnessed his mother’s deathbed in his previous life, how could he act rashly? But…
The current situation he was experiencing, Chu Ge’s response to him, was indeed intriguing.
Thinking back to his previous life, the Prince’s appearance apologizing to him with a worn-out look, Gu Yi couldn’t help but wonder…
Could he have been reborn as well?
Bai Qing had mentioned that once a star gained some fame, there were many unavoidable circumstances.
These were all things he had to experience.
For those stars who were currently in the limelight, this was a constant worry.
However, for someone like Gu Yi who lingered around the eighteenth tier of fame [1]lingered around the eighteenth tier of fame metaphorically refers to someone who is in a precarious or uncertain situation, often struggling or hovering between success and failure, prominence and … Continue reading jQuery('#footnote_plugin_tooltip_3527987_1_1').tooltip({ tip: '#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_3527987_1_1', tipClass: 'footnote_tooltip', effect: 'fade', predelay: 0, fadeInSpeed: 200, delay: 400, fadeOutSpeed: 200, position: 'top center', relative: true, offset: [-7, 0], });, it was best not to lose his temper.
Initially, Gu Yi had already prepared for the worst.
Fortunately, traveling together with Chu Ge significantly reduced many troubles. —
There were many organized and well-mannered fans at the airport.
As they rushed to catch their flight, the fans behind them followed leisurely, respecting boundaries.
Someone shouted Gu Yi’s name, saying, “Gu Yi, remember to take good care of Chu Ge, who isn’t in good health!”
“As long as you take good care of Chu Ge, we’re friends.”
“Don’t make him do heavy work. Chu Ge’s hands are meant for playing the piano; they need proper protection.”
Gu Yi, feeling helpless, simply replied, “Okay.”
Chu Ge saw Gu Yi respond readily beside him. He glanced at him with his bright, watery eyes, and a slight smile curved his lips.
Gu Yi inadvertently met his gaze, and somewhere deep inside, he felt a slight tremor.
