Chapter 56: Be Good, Endure a Little Longer.

When Zheng Shuyi received the signature and photo, she was so excited that she almost forgot that Shi Yan was still waiting in the car.

She and Bi Ruoshan stayed in the crowd until Song Lelan and her staff got onto the van.

"So beautiful, even more beautiful than on TV."

Bi Ruoshan watched the van drive away and was still immersed in the celebrity aura that Song Lelan had brought, "I think she's almost 50? Almost as old as my mom, but why does she look so much younger? It sure is nice to be a celebrity: have all the money you want to take care of the body and give yourself an extra ten years of youth."

"It's not just her face that is young," Zheng Shuyi said as she brought the signature to her chest and looked at the tail lights of the car with gleaming eyes, "I watched her concert last year and she sang for over two hours without stopping. What incredible physical stamina, I'm only in my twenties and I feel ashamed when compared to her. Divas nowadays are indeed impressive."

"But why do you think she's still not married yet?" asked Bi Ruoshan, "I've known her since I was little, and it's been so many years already. A lot of celebrities like her have all stopped their career, only she is still going. Every year's concert oh wait, did you know? Back in college, I saw some rumors in a magazine that she actually secretly got married a long time ago, and even had two sons."

"Nah it's just all BS, some sketchy magazine you were looking at, does it even have a version number?" Zheng Shuyi's attitude towards rumors has always been just mockery, "Those media shouldn't even be called media. Grab a pen and start writing whatever is on their mind. What secret marriage? And even two sons? Just look at how much she had to travel in the last decade and how popular her concerts are, she basically never disappeared from the eyes of the public. Do you still think she has time to raise children?"

After finishing all those, she turned and left.

Bi Ruoshan quickly followed up to her and continued the argument, "Although they didn't have a version number, they still have evidence. Didn't people capture a picture of a ring on Song Lelan's ring finger a few years ago?"

Zheng Shuyi sneered and said with disdain, "A ring means she's married? She's so rich, what's wrong with buying a ring just for the beauty of it? And didn't she explain later too? That's a ring that one of her sponsors lent her."

"Oh I see," Bi Ruoshan was almost convinced. Although she couldn't remember where she saw the rumors, she still wanted to continue, "But her song, "Precious Gift", that's obviously a song she sang for children, you know that right?"

That song was almost as old as Zheng Shuyi and Bi Ruoshan's age, but even today, it's a popular song that mothers sing to their children.

The song didn't mention any words like "child", "baby, nor "mom", but it still delivered a strong sense of love.

Because of this, many doubted that this song was written for Song Lelan's illegitimate child; however, she claimed that to be just rumors.

"Come on, you were a student in the news department. How can you believe those kinds of rumors that were written just for views?" Zheng Shuyi didn't agree with Bi Ruoshan, and in fact, felt like she was just saying without verification, "A song is just like a creation of art, who said it must be personal experiences? Otherwise, how terrible must those people who sing bitter love songs' life be? In addition, she didn't even write the lyrics, she's just a tool to bring it to the public. If everything is like you said, then does that mean I have anything to do with the millions of billions of dollars involved in financial projects going on right now?"

Bi Ruoshan: ""

Wow, shes so right.

Finally, Zheng Shuyi concluded her analysis on rumors for today, "Therefore, don't listen to those rumors, she's living a great life by herself. If she actually had a secret marriage and gave birth to a child, I'll shave my head for you on the spot."

Bi Ruoshan giggled at her determined tone. She carefully folded the signature, put it into her bag, and then pulled Zheng Shuyi towards the taxi waiting area.

"Was that necessary? Shaving your head on the spot? Haha, I wouldn't want you to."

"But I would," said Zheng Shuyi.

She pulled Zheng Shuyi towards the parking lot in the opposite direction, "Here, come with me."Findd new stories at novelhall.com

Bi Ruoshan said worriedly, "What are you doing?!"

Zheng Shuyi didn't reply and dragged Bi Ruoshan all the way to the parking lot. Then, she pointed towards a car in the distance and lifted her chin at her, "Do you know who's in the car?"

Bi Ruoshan blinked, "How the fuck will I know who's in there? Not as if I can see through things"

Zheng Shuyi leaned to Bi Ruoshan's ear and said while patting her on the shoulder, "It's my boyfriend."

Bi Ruoshan: "?"

Zheng Shuyi: "Are you going to invite me to eat Steamed Head with Chopped Chili?"

Bi Ruoshan: ""

Zheng Shuyi: "Or maybe Braised Pork Ball in Brown Sauce?"1The first dish is a fish, but I'm not really sure why she's bringing up these dish names right now either? Maybe it has something to do with shaving one's head bold

Bi Ruoshan: ""

In the car, Shi Yan played around with the abandoned bouquet of roses and felt that he was a little pitiful.

He went out to pick flowers for his girlfriend during his busy day and didn't even get to rest for a second before having to come to pick her up. Yet the result was being neglected in the parking lot for half an hour.

And the initiator of evil was just standing there in the distance blabbering something to her bestie.

Seeing the two finally start to walk again, Shi Yan placed the flower back onto the passenger seat and popped open the trunk.

Once they got closer, he got out of the car, walked towards Bi Ruoshan, and reached out his hand for her.

Knowing that Shi Yan's motion was to help her with her luggage, Bi Ruoshan quickly shook her head and held tight to the handle, "No, no it's okay, Mr. Shi, I can do it."

The last time they met, Bi Ruoshan was still kindly chatting and joking around with him, but this time, just by seeing his face made her remember all the effort she put in to come up with all that advice for Zheng Shuyi.

She felt thankful that she could still be here talking, how could she make him help her with her suitcase?

Of course, Shi Yan knew what caused Bi Ruoshan to react like this. All the guilty conscience was written clearly on her face, and she looked like an elementary schooler standing in front of the teacher after making a mistake. Although he found this a little funny, he wasn't sure how to reply.

So, he glanced at Zheng Shuyi.

Zheng Shuyi understood what he meant and said to Bi Ruoshan, "Just let him help you, otherwise, he's afraid that I'll go find a more gentleman-like boyfriend."

Shi Yan: ""

Bi Ruoshan came for a short trip and only brought a small suitcase. Seeing Shi Yan taking it and putting it in the trunk, Bi Ruoshan thanked him over and over again. Then, she saw Shi Yan standing by the car and looking at Zheng Shuyi, and she sensibly went into the back seats of the car.

In front of the car.

Just as Zheng Shuyi was about to sit in the passenger seat, Shi Yan suddenly grabbed onto her.

On an evening like this, the temperature cooled down and the cool wind was blowing. From time to time, it would raise Zheng Shuyi's hair.

Shi Yan wasn't in a hurry to get into the car. He wasn't using much strength as he grabbed onto her wrist, but his posture looked like he was inquiring about her crime.

"You like Song Lelan that much?"

"You didn't know?" Just thinking about the photo taken together with Song Lelan made Zheng Shuyi excited, "When I first went to your house, I told you, I like her a lot. Those were honest words, not just to flirt with you."

Seeing that she didn't hear the dissatisfaction from his tone, Shi Yan almost laughed again.

"You ditched me here for her?" He let go of his hand and ran his hand across the hair that was sticking to her face because of sweat, "Didn't you say you like me the most?"

Zheng Shuyi felt a little itch on her face and tilted her head to rub her cheek against his palm.

As she did so, she showed a trace of disgust, "You're jealous because of another woman? Maybe you could sell all your jealousy for money. And, don't you like her a lot too? You have a lot of her albums in your house."

After speaking, Zheng Shuyi suddenly started to giggle and purposefully teased him.

Don't tell me it's because you were too embarrassed to go get her signature and now you're jealous?"

Shi Yan sneered lightly and turned to get in the car.

Zheng Shuyi also opened the door and sat in. She held the flowers from Shi Yan in her hand as she fastened her seatbelt, and said, "My boyfriend, I can see him every day. But Song Lelan, I can probably only interact with her like this once in my entire lifetime. Do you understand now?"

She didn't really think that Shi Yan was jealous, she knew that he was just a little unhappy that she ditched him here, so she started to explain.

"Not really," replied Shi Yan.

As a person who has been looking at Song Lelan face-to-face for over twenty years, he couldn't really understand why these fans were so frantic about her.

Zheng Shuyi put the flowers in front of her and muttered, "You're such an illogical person."

Hearing this, Shi Yan smiled. He said as he turned the wheel, "Did you just find out that I'm illogical?"

His tone was very normal and seemed like he just casually replied to Zheng Shuyi, but she suddenly squeezed the flower stems and felt like her heart was shocked.

"Why is your face so red?"

After getting in the car, Shi Yan noticed Zheng Shuyi's abnormality, "Drank too much?"

Zheng Shuyi used her thumb and index finger to form a fingernail-sized gap, "Just a little, my tolerance for alcohol is very high."

"Is that true?" Shi Yan drove as he reached out one hand to touch her face.

"You drank a little and turned into this, and you claim to have a high alcohol tolerance?"

Zheng Shuyi rubbed against his hand and whispered, "That's because I'm wearing too much. Open the window, let me get some fresh air."

Because he didn't smell much alcohol coming from her, Shi Yan thought that she really didn't drink that much and opened the window halfway.

The wind blew on her until she got home, and the result was that when she got out of the car, she barely managed to stand up.

Seeing her unsteady steps, Shi Yan couldn't just sit there anymore and picked her up.

"You call this high alcohol tolerance?"

Zheng Shuyi also felt a little embarrassed so she didn't reply this time.

She wrapped her arm around her neck and sank into his arms.

She peacefully closed her eyes as the alcohol aroused all her mood and gushed them out.

In her living room, Shi Yan put her down on the sofa before leaning his upper body and asking, "What happened today?"

It turned out that he felt it all.

Zheng Shuyi kicked off her shoes and curled up. She said with a hoarse voice, "Nothing, my former classmate came today and told me some things about Yue Xingzhou."

Shi Yan: ""

"Still thinking about him?"

"No no no," Zheng Shuyi rubbed her eyes and quickly denied, "I just think that I'm quite fortunate. If he wasn't such a scum, how would I meet you?"

Although she was pretty angry about it, it was the fact.

"And you got yourself drunk because of that?"

Zheng Shuyi slowly sat upright while holding onto Shi Yan's finger. She said quietly, "No, right now I'm fortunate, but I'm also a little afraid."

Shi Yan's hand flipped over to hold hers, "Afraid of what? Afraid that you met another scum?"

Zheng Shuyi looked at him and didn't know how to reply.

After staring for a while, she said dryly, No, not really, I know you aren't that type of person. If you were then you would have taken the revenge script, swindled for my body, and then mercilessly ditch me."

Shi Yan: ""

"Do you think the script you have right now is good?" asked Zheng Shuyi.

"Pretty good."

Shi Yan's face sank and she couldn't see his emotions on his face.

But because of his reply, Zheng Shuyi grew nervous.

She took the initiative to stir up the issue between the two of them that they have avoided for a long time. That was quite stupid.

But without a clear solution, she would never be able to feel at ease.

She looked at Shi Yan like a criminal waiting for her punishment.

But all that she received was a kiss on the forehead.

Shi Yan sighed, "I do want to swindle you for your body."

Zheng Shuyi's body trembled.

Her breathing tightened and she felt like she was falling into an abyss.

After a long time, she spoke.

"I just wanted to say, can you not do that to me? The feeling of being lied to is really bad."

She stopped and then lowered her head, " I think that seems a bit like a double standard."

She was a liar herself.

"Zheng Shuyi." Shi Yan put his hands around her. His eyes looked down at her, and the only thing in his pupil was her reflection.

After looking at her for a while, he said, "Do you think you're the only one with a double standard?"

People usually process information slower when drunk.

It took Zheng Shuyi several seconds to understand what Shi Yan meant.

She didn't know what to say.

Nor did she know how to express what she was thinking.

She could only

She raised her head, wrapped her hand around Shi Yan's neck, and kissed him.

At first, Shi Yan tried to calm her uneasy mood down, and his voice was gentle and affectionate.

But his self-control was crumbling as the tip of her tongue touched him.

In the end, Zheng Shuyi was pressed on the sofa and was breathless.

She was already drunk, and now that he was on her and making it hard for her to breathe, she felt that the ceiling was spinning.

So, with her last bit of strength, she pushed Shi Yan.

"I can't take it anymore

"You can't take it after just a kiss?" Shi Yan's kiss passed her lips and reached her ear. He whispered, "Then what about later?"

Zheng Shuyi felt like she was dirty and sweaty after going out today and was a little embarrassed to carry out such close contact.

Her hands pushed around restlessly, "I'm so hot, I want to go take a shower."

Unfortunately, she didn't know that the more she struggled, the more it would arouse a man's sense of possessiveness.

Shi Yan grabbed her hand and pressed it beside her head, showing no intention of letting her go.

The more intimate they got, the more she felt like she was dirty.

It can't be like that. I must be a fragrant angel in front of my boyfriend.

She tried to struggle again, but it was useless.

Shi Yan whispered in her ear, "Be good, endure a little longer."

"What endure?" I'm a female journalist, not a female ninja!3Ninja in Chinese is which translates directly into "One who endures (hardships).

1The first dish is a fish, but I'm not really sure why she's bringing up these dish names right now either? Maybe it has something to do with shaving one's head bold2The color green could symbolize cheating. There's a phrase in China that when someone cheats on someone else, he/she would be giving that someone else a "green hat"3Ninja in Chinese is which translates directly into "One who endures (hardships).
