Chapter 1

“Hello everyone, welcome to today’s still space. Today I want to share this sunscreen with you, this brand of sunscreen has been very popular on the Internet recently, it’s the first time I use it, this time I will try its effect…”

Xu Yiren carefully squeezed a lump of sunscreen from the bottle, lathered it into the palm of her hand, warmed it up, wiped it on her face, and smiled at the camera while applying the product on her face: “It feels pretty good, I have an oily-combination skin, yet my face feels very refreshed…”

At this moment, the phone rang at an untimely time. Xu Yiren had just applied half of the sunscreen, she tried to ignore the call and continued to apply the rest on her face while looking at the camera: “This paste is still very easy to spread, very delicate…”

Who knew that the caller would not give up, and when she did not answer the first time, they immediately called a second time. Xu Yiren sighed, and reached out her hand to close the video broadcast. She took the phone that was thrown behind her back, with two big characters “Jingjing” on it, Xu Yiren picked up the phone: “What’s the matter, I’m recording a video, I just wiped on half of the sunscreen…”

Ren Jingjing has been a good friend for many years. The two have been classmates since high school. When they were in college, they made an appointment to be admitted to different universities in Yangcheng. Xu Yiren studied English major of Wanjinyou, and the coursework was relatively easy, but Xu Yiren still made mistakes. She started fiddling around and recording beauty videos. Maybe she was lucky, or maybe she entered the industry early. After graduating from college, she became a well-known beauty blogger. She simply recorded videos full-time. It’s reasonable to say that this one-third of an acre of land in the world. Ren Jingjing followed the rules to find a job and became a small “screw” in a book publishing company.

The friendship between the two has been maintained for seven years, and Ren Jingjing has expressed 800 times of speechlessness about her amnesia: “Miss Xu, blogger Xu, we already agreed that I will invite you to dinner today. Do you still remember?”

Xu Yiren slapped her forehead. Oops, it seems that this is the case, she really forgot that this month is the first time Ren Jingjing gets paid when she started on her job, so she originally wanted to invite Xu Yiren to have a big dinner to celebrate. She edited the video last night until midnight, went to bed at dawn, woke up this afternoon, and received a Haitao package from abroad. There were several new products in it that she wanted to try, so she simply recorded an unboxing video. When she got excited, she completely forgot about having dinner with Ren Jingjing tonight.

Xu Yiren jumped up from the ground with the phone on the crook of her shoulder, ran to the door of the room in two steps and started putting on her shoes: “I’m sorry Jingjing, I forgot, where are you now? I’ll go out right now, what did you say we were going to eat last time? Are you already there?”

Ren Jingjing shook her head helplessly, what else could she say, it wasn’t the first day she met her, so how could she not know her virtues? When she makes a mistake, talking sweetly is like not wanting money.

Ren Jingjing: “I’m already here, Haneda Restaurant. I’m waiting for you, hurry up.”

“Okay, I’ll be there in fifteen minutes.” Thanks to the video she was recording just now, Xu Yiren was all dressed up, donning a simple and refreshing T-shirt and denim shorts, revealing a pair of white and thin legs.

Xu Yiren was in front of the shoe cabinet, showing her extraordinary flexibility, put her long legs on the narrow shoe cabinet, bent down, put on shoes with one hand, and took out a tube of lipstick from the bag with the other. Without looking in the mirror, she dexterously started blind painting on her lips. The upper and lower lips were lightly “bloomed”, no need to look, the lipstick must be full and perfect. After all, she is also relying on makeup to eat.

Xu Yiren quickly put on the other shoe and looked at the table below: at 5:30 in the afternoon, she locked the door and ran downstairs.

She went downstairs to take a taxi. As a full-time beauty blogger, Miss Xu has obviously been away from the morning and evening rush hour for a long time. She got into the car full of joy. She couldn’t help asking the driver: “Boss, is this road so blocked every day?” The driver held the steering wheel and moved forward at a turtle speed: “You came out at the wrong time, this evening rush hour is very congested, there is no other way but to wait. There’s no way to go.”

Xu Yiren sighed, lowered her head and sent a message to Ren Jingjing: “I’m sorry Jingjing, I’m stuck in traffic, you have to wait for me for a while.”

Ren Jingjing replied in seconds: [It was expected] She added a little pig humming emoji.

Xu Yiren returned a sincere emoji.

At this time, the car in the next lane moved forward slightly, and a low-key black car slowly drove behind. The taxi driver looked back and said in an envious tone: “This is a good car, low-key and tasteful.”

Xu Yiren raised her head when she heard the sound. She was sitting in the back row, just opposite of the car next to her, and the two cars were only half a meter apart. She saw that the window of the opposite car was lowered by a third, revealing a pair of sword eyebrows and a pair of dark eyes. Looking up, it was a short head. She saw the man staring straight ahead, his eyebrows slightly frowned. He seemed to be impatient with the bad condition of the traffic.

He really is a man with good-looking eyebrows, Xu Yiren thought to herself, but she didn’t know if the lower half of his face would disappoint her.

The driver also craned his neck to look, and said enviously for a long while: “He looks very young, but I don’t know whose young master this is.”

Xu Yiren believed that as a qualified beauty blogger, the most important thing is to have eyes that find beauty. She looked at the opposite side boldly, as if she wanted to stare out a hole in the black car window to see if the lower half of his face does not conform to her aesthetic.

Gu Yu was playing with his mobile phone with his head down, unaware of the gaze cast from the car next to him, he casually tapped the screen of his mobile phone, and a sweet female voice immediately came from inside: “When are you coming, I have been waiting for you for half an hour.”

Xu Yiren heard clearly, she sighed with emotion, turned her head and thought, “Sure enough, all kinds of men like cute girls.” She turned her head so fast that she didn’t see the person on the opposite frowning. He got up and casually threw his phone on the passenger seat.

The congestion in front gradually dissipated, and the traffic began to move forward smoothly. The car next to her raised the window and began to accelerate. It almost passed the taxi in a blink of an eye and flew away. The contrast was too tragic, and Xu Yiren stared at the driver with squinting eyes.

Xu Yiren said: “Boss, don’t look at it, let’s go.”

Haneda Restaurant is located in the bustling commercial street of Yangcheng, with elegant and noble decoration. It mainly focuses on high-end Western food. There are no private rooms. Xu Yiren wanted to try the dishes of this restaurant for a long time, but the price was too expensive and she was reluctant to spend too much. Unexpectedly, Ren Jingjing helped her realize this dream in the end.

As soon as she entered the restaurant, she saw Ren Jingjing on the window seat on the left, holding a menu in her hand, leaning out on her side, looking nervous, not knowing what she was looking at.

She walked over, squatted down, and followed Ren Jingjing’s gaze: “Jingjing, what are you looking at?”

Ren Jingjing was startled by her, and subconsciously covered her chest, seeing that it was Xu Yiran, she hurriedly lowered her voice and said: “Yiren, look at the seat against the wall over there, the woman in the white dress, do you see who she is?”

Xu Yiren followed her gaze inexplicably, and across the two rows of tables, she saw the woman. She was petite, leaning forward, wearing a fisherman’s hat, covering most of her face, only a small mouth with bright lipstick can be seen talking to the person on the opposite side. With a blue shirt and a thin and slender back, she saw him leaning on the back of the chair, his right hand resting on the back of the chair next to him, drumming his fingers casually.

Xu Yiren shook her head in a daze: “Who is it?”

Ren Jingjing covered her mouth with her hand and deliberately lowered her voice, but she sounded excited and surprised: “I have recommended to you a lot of times that the most popular palace time travel drama recently, it’s called ‘Return to the Qing Dynasty to Marry the Emperor’. I have been chasing after her. She is the heroine in it. She is enthusiastic, kind, courageous and resourceful. I like her very much. I took a few secret photos just now.”

There seemed to be a bit of an impression. It is a popular drama that has been highly discussed in the streets and alleys recently. All kinds of scandals and shady stories are flying together. Xu Yiren had only seen it a few times and couldn’t recognize the heroine, but she knew that there were rumors on the Internet that the heroine brought money into the group, squeezed out a big acting talent, and forced the screenwriter to change the script overnight. It was rumored that the backstage of this airborne heroine is a well-known family business in Yangcheng. She and the second son of Gu Shi Group were photographed together, and there are photos as real hammers.

Ren Jingjing was excited: “I want to go to her to ask for her signature and get a photo, do you think she will agree?”

Xu Yiren pulled out the chair with no interest and sat down: “Jingjing, I’m not throwing cold water on you, what you like is who she is in the TV series. It’s just a role, it’s a star, it’s just selling people’s designs, is it worth your sincere feelings?”

Ren Jingjing didn’t listen to her, and replied indifferently: “She has a name, it’s Song Tianmei, I like her very much, the real person is so beautiful. Ah, I’m going to take a photo!”

Xu Yiren flipped through the menu, but this time she didn’t even look up: “Then you should go later. I didn’t see any friends across from them. Don’t let them look at you. She doesn’t look like she’s feeling well.”

Sure enough, Song Tianmei pouted her red lips, wishing she could cross the dining table and stick to the man opposite. The man on the opposite side lowered his head, as if he was looking at his phone, turning a deaf ear.

Song Tianmei’s voice was like a cream cake: “Brother Yu, just go with me.”

Gu Yu didn’t lift his head: “You’re going to shoot a magazine, what am I going to do?”

“Let’s play together for two days, just It’s time for a vacation.”

“No, I have a job.”

Song Tianmei was not annoyed by such a straightforward refusal, and still said: “Oh, what kind of job can you have? Then let’s go to the United States to play together.”

Gu Yu raised his head when he heard this, his dark eyes flashed, and his tone made it unclear whether he felt joy or anger: “Sit well, you are also a public figure anyway, pay attention to the influence.”

Song Tianmei leaned heavily on the back of the chair, and the menu in her hand rattled.

This picture doesn’t look good.

Ren Jingjing was a little embarrassed, and went down the stairs for her idol: “Maybe it’s her boyfriend, isn’t it all rumored that she is the girlfriend of the second master Gu?”

Xu Yiren raised her eyebrows, her face turned upside down with a bit of heroism: “I didn’t say anything else, I just told you not to disturb other people’s good things.”

Ren Jingjing felt that what she said was reasonable, so she turned around embarrassingly, and the two began to order and eat.

Fortunately, the food is good and the taste is good. Xu Yiren and Ren Jingjing have not seen each other for a long time, and they chatted about each other’s current situation.

After three rounds of dinner, Xu Yiren was sitting in the position where she could see Song Tianmei’s seat. At this moment, the man opposite Song Tianmei dropped the napkin on his lap and walked towards the bathroom.

Xu Yiren poked Ren Jingjing with her hand, “Do you want to take a photo?”

“Yes! Of course!”

Ren Jingjing excitedly picked up her phone and typed a few times before she pulled her clothes and walked in the direction of Song Tianmei.

Ever since Gu Yu left his seat, Song Tianmei’s face had fallen. She had been talking for a long time, even acting cute, but she still had not persuaded the other party to agree to go to the United States with her.

How boring.

She slashed the steak in front of her with a knife and fork.

“Hello, are you Song Tianmei?” A timid voice interrupted Song Tianmei’s thoughts.

Song Tianmei was a new traffic little flower, she immediately put on another easy-going face, and showed a professional smile at the visitor: “I am.”

Ren Jingjing hurriedly took out her mobile phone: “I am your fan, I like you very much, can I take a picture with you?”

Song Tianmei looked up and down at the passers-by in front of her, dressed in ordinary fans, and “cut” in her heart, but still said, “Yes.”

Ren Jingjing hurriedly opened her phone. The mobile phone camera moved in front of Song Tianmei. The latter frowned subconsciously and stepped back. Ren Jingjing pressed the shutter and took a few pictures in a row.

“Can I still ask you to sign?” Ren Jingjing blushed and spread out the napkin in her hand.

Song Tianmei was in a bad mood and just wanted to get rid of this fan as soon as possible. She squeezed out a smile and said, “Yes.”

She took Ren Jingjing’s pen and was about to write on the napkin when Gu Yu came back. Seeing that Song Tianmei was busy, he said: “You are busy, I’m leaving first, the account has been settled.”

After speaking, he was about to leave, Song Tianmei hurriedly said: “Wait for me, I’ll go with you.”

“You can talk, I have a meeting. I’ll go first.”

After saying that, Gu Yu walked towards the door of the restaurant.

Xu Yiren saw a man in dark blue coat passing by her side, and subconsciously raised her head, just in time to meet Gu Yu’s gaze, the two met gazes for a second and then broke their eye contact.

Gu Yu is tall and has long legs, and walked out of the restaurant in a few steps.

It was not easy for Song Tianmei to invite him out for dinner, so she just watched him go, if it wasn’t for this annoying fan beside her, she would have chased after him.

Song Tianmei was so angry and annoyed that she didn’t care about expression management, and hurriedly signed her name and put the pen back into Ren Jingjing’s hand.

Ren Jingjing didn’t see the change in Song Tianmei’s face, she happily thanked her, and couldn’t help sharing it with Xu Yiren when she returned to her seat.

Song Tianmei looked at them both coldly, holding her breath in her heart, picked up her mobile phone, and took a few pictures of them.

Xu Yiren was aware of it, but when she raised her head, the table was already empty. She shook her head, thinking that she might be wrong.
