The streets were cold and windy and depressed. However, Ye Kehuan’s smile was warmer than the spring breeze and brighter than the sun. Jiang Laien looked at her like that, and was inexplicably touched. Before, she had never expected Ye Kehuan to say such things to her.

“Ten thousand years… Don’t slap your face.” Jiang Laien’s lips curled up, and she hurriedly constricted her smile, pretending to be cold.

“How could I slap my face? Hey hey hey, Jiang Laien, I ask you, do I look like such an unreliable person?” Ye Kehuan blinked at her nose, not sure whether to laugh or cry. “I’m super reliable. If you recognize this, you will be someone who knows this for the rest of your life.”

“Who knows?” Jiang Laien gave her a sideways glance. There was a little tsundere in her words, and her eyes were full of anger.

“I know.” Ye Kehuan watched her quietly, her expression full of seriousness.

“You’re really shameless.” Jiang Laien narrowed her eyes and said.

“I’m just shameless. If I wanted to face on, I could take down any arrogant young noble. Can they even dream of beating me?” Ye Kehuan laughed and leaned over to look at her.

Jiang Laien stretched out her hand and smashed her shoulder and whispered: “What are you talking about? You are obviously incomprehensible and stupid. I once crawled on your bed and kissed you. You just regarded it as a dream when you woke up the next day, you…”

“What?” Ye Kehuan was taken aback when she heard that, and turned to look at her, “So you were, at that time…”

She really didn’t expect it at all. For a long time, she thought that it was just a dream, but it turned out to be real? Suddenly, Ye Kehuan felt that she really missed a lot. If she were sober that day, they would have been together long ago. Thinking about it that way, Ye Kehuan only felt that she might be a little stupid.

“Ah, I won’t tell you anymore.” Jiang Laien finally gave her a coy look, and then took a quick step forward.

Ye Kehuan looked at her hair flying in the air, put her hands in her pockets, and ran forward: “Wait for me!”

After trotting to Jiang Laien, Ye Kehuan smiled slightly, then stretched out her hand, hooked the hand hanging beside her, and clenched it a little bit, as if to hold her other half firmly.

Ye Kehuan’s hands were always very warm, which was completely different from the cold all the time Jiang Laien. Jiang Laien felt the temperature in her palm, glanced at her quietly with the corner of her eye, and then slightly pursed her lips.

“Thank you.” At that moment, Ye Kehuan smiled lightly.

“Suddenly saying something so silly.” Jiang Laien gave her a sideways glance.

“Thank you for waiting for me so long. If you wanted to be with someone else, I may have already lost your patience and love.” Ye Kehuan took a deep breath, staring ahead, only feeling that she was lucky for three lives.

Jiang Laien couldn’t help turning her head to look at her, then lowered her head to stare at the ground: “It’s good that you know.”

Ye Kehuan thought about it, approached her again, and asked a question that most couples always asked each other after being together: “When did you like me?”

“Probably from the holiday from third grade to the first grade of high school.” Jiang Laien said.

“Then, what do you like about me?” Ye Kehuan continued to ask curiously.

Jiang Laien listened, laughed, and looked ahead: “You’re kind and enthusiastic. Happy all day long, as if there is nothing to worry about. It’s completely different from people like me.”

“That’s it? Nothing else?” Ye Kehuan scratched her hat and pressed her hand to her chest. “For example, you were attracted by my beautiful and handsome face, so you got stuck in it and couldn’t get out; or were you attracted by my magnetic voice--whenever you heard it, your adrenaline soared, hormones flooded, and you wanted to be held in my arms--is there really nothing?”

After listening, Jiang Laien showed a standard smile and looked at her like a sand sculpture.

“You’re making me a little flustered,” Ye Kehuan gulped and nodded, “Well, if you don’t have it, then that would be a no.”

After listening, Jiang Laien chuckled, then lowered her head, and said softly: “You are right, and it is true. The first time I felt that I thought about you unusually was when we were once watching TV together on the sofa. You suddenly came over and said to me, ‘you are so beautiful’. Then, I was inexplicably tricked.”

Ye Kehuan was happy when she heard that, and then leaned over, gently fiddled with her scattered hair, and looked at her tenderly: “But you are really beautiful.”

Jiang Laien was taken aback, so she turned her head and looked at her. After meeting those deep eyes, her heart shook uncontrollably, and her ears became hot again: “I hate you, walk.”

Ye Kehuan laughed more happily, and then, after thinking about it, she said, “Speaking of which, what happened on the Internet this time should be someone deliberately targeting us.”

Jiang Laien’s eyebrows were slightly twisted, and after a moment, she turned her head to look at her.

“The main reason is that this matter is quite unreasonable this time. Think, if it was captured by the media, why didn’t they release the material as soon as we were caught in the dispute?” Ye Kehuan raised her eyebrows. Before she entered the entertainment industry, she was also a management figure in her father’s company; she still had a brain, and it was impossible to even ignore those problems.

“Yeah, this is indeed very strange. I don’t want to understand. If these things were photographed, they can be released as soon as possible to ensure that they have the exclusive material. Otherwise, if someone else preempts the release, then it’s not worth the loss. If I’m a paparazzi, I wouldn’t do it like this. I would work overtime to release it as soon as possible, so as not to be taken advantage of by other people who may have also gotten photographs.” Jiang Laien nodded.

“Yes. If the paparazzi doesn’t publish it as soon as the photo is taken, generally speaking, they may put an ambiguous material for everyone to guess, so that we would automatically contact them to pay for the material after seeing it. Going on, that is, they would use that to ask for hush money in disguise. But the other party did not do it like this, but after so many days, they broke the news of this kind of thing. Isn’t it really weird?” Ye Kehuan laughed.

“It’s really strange. So, it should be someone in the crew who can’t understand us.” Jiang Laien looked at her and pondered, “I thought of someone. I don’t know if you have thought of them.”

“Well,” Ye Kehuan laughed happily, “someone like Princess Cheng.”

“Yeah, she has never been able to understand you.” Jiang Laien had actually been staring at Cheng Yan for a long time.

“Maybe she had noticed something before, that our relationship was not in harmony or something, and then followed us to take pictures that made it look worse between us. And she did not choose to post it immediately, most likely because she wanted to approach you when we were in conflict. What she didn’t expect was that afterwards her expectations fell through, so she sent it out.” Ye Kehuan remembered the look on her face when she tested her that morning, and felt that her guess should be close to perfect. After all, Cheng Yan looked too weird at the time.

“I always think that that person is not very righteous,” Jiang Laien had already noticed some of Cheng Yan’s small movements, “every time you have good resources, she will always make some insinuations that you have seized them from her on Weibo. What do we do next?”

Ye Kehuan laughed after hearing that: “You should eat, drink, sleep, and if you want to show me affection on Weibo, then you can show affection on Weibo and make her angry.

“But if we act like we don’t care, she will feel that we can’t beat her bully and get worse. She should be warned.” Jiang Laien didn’t actually have any intentions.

It could be said that Jiang Laien could be that capricious in the circle. On the one hand, because her personality was really pleasing, although she rarely accepted interviews or went on variety shows, but every time she was interviewed, she was friendly to the media, so she got along well with the media even without needing her agents to operate, so the media would voluntarily make her look good; second, because her acting skills were indeed impeccable, it was really difficult to find points of attack; third, because her family still supported her. They were not like Ye Kehuan’s father who opposed it, and they paved the way for her a lot in her early days.

Ye Kehuan laughed after listening to Jiang Laien’s words: “We  will continue to interact on Weibo as always, and as for the rest… don’t be stunned. Let me talk about it after I find some leverage on Cheng Yan. Speaking of which, Lulu knows a lot of people. Before she did barbecue, she also chased stars as an investor, and engaged in marketing and other things. I’ll ask her to discuss how to implement it.”

It could be said that Chen Lulu was simply a genius. At the time, Chen Lulu, as a fan of an actor she liked, was the strategist. Calling a bunch of people to write CP articles for him and buying a hot search to help him hype were the most basic of operations possible. Chen Lulu contributed a lot to the fact that the male star was so hot. However, Chen Lulu had a characteristic, that was, when her idol became popular, she would dislike them, and instead abandon them, and then look for another rookie star to continue to spend money to cultivate their image. This was commonly called having so much money you don’t know where to spend it.

“Good.” Jiang Laien nodded.

But at that moment, Ye Kehuan tilted her head again, frowned, and thought: “I suddenly remembered that Lulu had not returned my message. I sent her a message yesterday afternoon, and it’s been nearly a day and a night. It’s really a bit abnormal. She is an Internet addicted girl and it is impossible to get her away from her mobile phone.”

“Huh?” Jiang Laien frowned, “Could it be because she was busy? Didn’t she make clothes recently? When I get busy, I sometimes forget to check my notifications.”

“She’s very lively, and she’s a Weibo and WeChat madman. No matter how busy she is, she will reply to messages.” In Ye Kehuan’s impression, Chen Lulu had always been like that. Even if Chen Lulu fell asleep, as long as she sent a message or made a phone call, she would always reply as soon as possible. Because her phone had never been muted.

“Then, how many more did you send? WeChat sometimes gets convulsions and does not prompt messages. If there is no prompt, and there are too many messages in the interface that haven’t been cleaned up, she might not notice.” Jiang Laien suddenly remembered. She also ate Chen Lulu’s vinegar when she was at school, because Ye Kehuan and Chen Lulu were too close at that time.

Suddenly, Jiang Laien felt that she was really a bit ridiculous at that time. Obviously, Chen Lulu and Ye Kehuan were really just friends who played a lot.

“Well, then I’ll send it to her again.” Ye Kehuan said, typing.

However, after the message was sent, and after waiting for a while, Chen Lulu still did not reply. Ye Kehuan stared at her phone, and before she knew it, her brows were tight.

Later, Ye Kehuan called Chen Lulu again, but Chen Lulu still didn’t answer until the ringing timed out automatically. Ye Kehuan expression couldn’t help becoming solemn.

“What’s the matter, she still didn’t answer it?” Jiang Laien asked.

“Yeah,” Ye Kehuan nodded, let out a sigh, and held her phone up in the air, “I’ll look for Xiao Mo.”

“Good.” Jiang Laien nodded.

Ye Kehuan didn’t wait for too long, and then dialed Xiao Mo’s number.

After waiting for about ten seconds, the call was connected, and Ye Kehuan hurriedly asked: “Xiao Mo, have you contacted Lulu in the past two days?”

“I left Chongyuan on a fight yesterday. I haven’t seen her again. I sent her a message, but she didn’t reply. What’s the matter?” Xiao Mo was stunned for half a second.

“I sent her a message and she never replied, and no one answered my call. I’m afraid something happened. Do you know which hotel she’s staying in?” Ye Kehuan hurriedly asked.

“Huh? That’s really abnormal. She used to stay at the IFC Hotel, the one on Qinghu Road. If nothing happens, she shouldn’t change it. Would you like to check it now?” Xiao Mo also revealed a faint worry in her voice.

“Okay, I see.” After Ye Kehuan finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

“What did Xiao Mo say?” Jiang Laien asked.

“She can’t contact Lulu. Let’s go, let’s go to the hotel where Lulu stays.” Ye Kehuan turned on the navigation and looked up the location of the hotel.

“Then let’s go.” Jiang Laien also suddenly became nervous for no reason.

After Ye Kehuan looked up the detailed address, she took a taxi with Jiang Laien to go there.

Since there was some distance to the hotel, it would take more than half an hour, so Ye Kehuan did not stop calling Chen Lulu along the way. However, from beginning to end, no one answered.

Countless phone calls were the result of that, and the ominous premonition in Ye Kehuan’s heart could not help but deepen a few more degrees. Jiang Laien looked sideways at Ye Kehuan and couldn’t help putting her hand on her lap. She sighed as she watched her continue to dial seamlessly one call after another.

At six o’clock, the driver finally drove the car to the steps of the hotel that looked exceptionally magnificent.

After Ye Kehuan and Jiang Laien got out of the car, they quickly ran up the stone steps, entered the wide lobby, and ran to the front desk.

“Miss, do you have a reservation…” The girl at the front desk wore a black uniform, a burgundy bow tie, and had a simple face with a sunny smile, polite and clean.”

“I’m not staying. I just want to ask, is Miss Chen Lulu still staying here? I and her other friends have not been able to contact her for two days, and she isn’t answering her messages or calls. This is too abnormal. I know her very well, and I’ve never seen this, so I’m very worried that something happened to her.” Ye Kehuan stood still, rubbed her hand under her nose, and asked breathlessly.

The front desk clerk originally wanted to say that the privacy of guests could not be leaked, but after hearing what Ye Kehuan said, her expression immediately became serious: “Hello, please wait a moment, let me check.”

“Yeah.” Ye Kehuan nodded.

She saw the front desk clerk typing a bunch on the computer, and then looked up at Ye Kehuan and Jiang Laien, two men who were heavily armed like black mountains, grabbed the landline phone and started dialing Chen Lulu’s room landline number.

However, no one answered. Afterwards, the front desk clerk dialed Chen Lulu’s mobile phone number again, but there was still no one to answer, so she put it down again: “No one answered.”

“Which room does she stay in? Please, let us go and see! Even if you don’t let us go, you can go and take a look.” Ye Kehuan stared at her intently.

After listening, the front desk clerk frowned, then handed over her work to the person next to her, and took a key card and walked out: “I’ll take you there.”

“Thank you!” After Ye Kehuan thanked her, she and Jiang Laien followed the girl towards the elevator.

After arriving at the room where Chen Lulu was staying, the front desk clerk rang the doorbell. After waiting for a while, no one opened the door, so she pressed again: “Is anyone there?”

That was repeated several times, but no one opened the door, so the front desk clerk had to pick up the car, swiped the door, and walked in.

The entrance was a very spacious hall with a post-modern structural design and a very large area. It was a suite.

After entering, the three people were stunned. They saw that the transparent arc-shaped coffee table was full of horizontal and vertical wine bottles, and a pile of white pills were scattered on the ground. Chen Lulu was wearing a champagne-gold long-sleeved set of pajamas, lying on the sofa behind the coffee table. Her hair was messy. Looking at the whole scene together, it was quite shocking.

“Oh my God…” Jiang Laien stretched out her hand involuntarily and put it on her lips, her pupils suddenly tightening.

“Lulu?” Ye Kehuan was stunned for half a second, and immediately rushed over, squatted down beside Chen Lulu, stretched out her arms to hold her shoulders, then patted her face again and stroked the corners of her lips, which had a little foam.

The front desk clerk was so frightened she could only stand there petrified.

After Jiang Laien recovered, she looked at her instant: “Call 120!”
