CH 27

“Hey, you two are a perfect match! Our TS has a Chinese Valentine’s Day special issue!”

“Don’t say that your Chinese Valentine’s Day special issue has not yet decided on the cover candidate, and what is special issue, be our Golden Nine!” 

(TL:Golden Nine-September is a very special month for a fashion magazine, because it is the time when the fashion season changes. There is even a film documentary called “September Issue”, which records the entire process of publishing the September issue of the magazine.)

“Well, we have a couple variety show, can you come and support the show?”

Gu Jinmian: “…….”

“Couple variety show?!” Shi Yi immediately grasped the key points she liked.

In her opinion, the fashion magazines that stars were vying for were nothing at all, not to mention her connections, as long as she allowed Yin Moshu to appear in a few more shows, she believed that Yin Moshu could harvest major fashion magazines both domestically and internationally.

What’s rare was that a romance director came today.

Shi Yi excitedly chatted with the director.

Gu Jinmian had a face full of lovelessness.

Shi Yi: “Is it really okay for them?”

The director glanced at the two, they could be said to be the ceiling of beauty among couples, their beauty and aura both had their own tensions, one was a popular idol, while the other was a wealthy young master, they both had their own traffic. “It’s okay, I just don’t know if they are willing or not.”

After all, the person was an idol, even his romantic relationship shouldn’t be made public.

Shi Yi, who wanted to hit the CP and got dizzy, also realized this problem, “Ah…”

She couldn’t help but cast her eyes on Yin Moshu.

Yin Moshu: “As long as Mianmian is okay with it.”

Gu Jinmian: “…….”

Shi Yi’s eyes were full of anticipation and longing, and Gu Jinmian couldn’t say no to her eyes.

However, this would indeed affect Yin Moshu’s career.

Thus, Gu Jinmian said, “We’ll see.”

At least definitely not when Yin Moshu was still an idol.

Shi Yi was not disappointed with what he said. She knew Gu Jinmian’s considerations, and she would also respect Yin Moshu’s career.

At least there is still hope, right?

Next, Shi Yi took Gu Jinmian and Yin Moshu to meet the people who attended the dinner party one by one.

Previously, when she held such dinner parties, Gu Jinmian would never attend them before. This was the first time Shi Yi was so happy and proud, wishing she could walk around in front of everyone.

My son is cute, and my son’s boyfriend is super handsome, how can I not be proud.

After going for half a circle, Gu Jinmian with a paralyzed face couldn’t stand it anymore.

He backed away quietly.

On the sidelines, he watched Shi Yi lead Yin Moshu chatting and laughing happily with the big shots.

The more he looked, the more proud he became, and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.

In the original book, Yin Moshu’s astonishing talent began in the fashion circle. With his superior physique, aura and figure, he made a big splash in the fashion circle.

Then came the film industry, his face was so suitable for the big screen, that it could be said to amaze all the people present.

Gu Jinmian didn’t let him take a useless road, but gave it all to him in advance.

Bai Xinyu said with emotion, “Yin Moshu is so powerful, I have also seen this kind of scene since I was a child, but I am not as proficient as he is.”

Du Bai’an nodded vigorously, his eyes full of admiration.

Gu Jinmian: “…….”

That feeling came again.

Gu Jinmian looked around, feeling increasingly strange in his heart.

He found that many people here looked at Yin Moshu in a somewhat strange way.

The people here were all bigwigs in the fashion industry. They had seen big scenes and all kinds of beauties, thus they shouldn’t pause for a long time for a person, no matter how good-looking he was.

But at present, many people were looking at Yin Moshu intentionally or subconsciously.

There were subtle similarities with Bai Xinyu and Du Bai’an.

When looking towards Yin Moshu, there came a feeling of facing one’s own father or someone of a higher position.

Over there, two photographers held their cameras and discussed with each other.

“Look, does this picture have the feeling of Ares, the god of war in Greek mythology?

“Ares? Do you think my picture has the feeling of a god?”

Gu Jinmian: “……….”

It’s over, it’s over ah.

He felt fucking embarrassed when he heard this.

Shi Yi, who liked Yin Moshu so much, did not expect Yin Moshu to be so popular. She was only surprised for a moment and then pulled Yin Moshu to the center.

“Look, doesn’t he look like a fashion star?”

Everyone responded in unison.

“What’s more, it’s a pity that President Shi has made an appointment in advance.”

“Aunt Shi’s vision and aesthetics have never been wrong.”

Shi Yi laughed and said, “Some people can tell at a glance that they were born for this circle, just like some people can tell at a glance that they cannot enter this circle.”

Her eyes fell precisely on Hang Yuanting.

The others also followed her gaze.

“A dark heart can also create unique fashion, but sticking money on your body is not going to make you high-quality, it is simply a blasphemy against fashion.”

Hang Yuanting, who was looking forward to it, turned pale.

After he entered the entertainment circle, he worked his way up to his current position step by step, and it seemed that he was already very successful.

What he hated most was people saying he was a dirt. He changed his place of birth, changed his parents’ occupations, hired the most powerful stylist with a high salary, and wrapped himself up bit by bit.

What he most wanted to break into was the wealthy and fashion circles, as if this could cover up his humble background.

He almost succeeded in the former, he became Ji Nan’s boyfriend and had a circle of rich and powerful friends.

Then he squeezed his head and wanted to have a place in the fashion circle. He thought he was about to succeed, but he didn’t expect such an embarrassing scene waiting for him.

At this moment, he was like an ugly duckling whose swan coat had been stripped off.

Embarrassed for being ugly.

He clearly had the coat of an ugly duckling, but still had a naked sense of shame and embarrassment.

He knew that his path was over.

Not only Ji Nan, Bai Xinyu and others were surprised, even Gu Jinmian was shocked.

She didn’t expect Shi Yi to be so direct and sharp.

When Shi Yi sat over to drink tea, facing his question, she said with a smile, “Baby, Mom didn’t come all the way to this position today, not for the sake of carefully observing one’s words and expressions and maintaining false peace.”

“The ancestors of the Gu family worked hard to start a business and accumulate capital, and it’s not about making Baby compromise.”

Gu Jinmian was taken aback.

“Baby can live more freely and openly, without any scruples towards those who harm you.” Shi Yi stroked his head and said, “There are so many people above your head holding up the sky for you.”

Since kindergarten, Gu Jinmian had used his fists to protect himself. When he was bullied by his classmates, he rushed over by himself, and when he was bullied by his classmate’s brothers, he still rushed over by himself.

He never felt like this way before.

It seems as if the fist was released and unfolded, instantly becoming delicate and soft, with a soft body and a soft heart.

He nodded blankly.

Bai Xinyu said enviously, “No wonder Home is so arrogant, if it were me, I might be even more arrogant.”

Their family was not bad either, but his parents and elders would never say such things to him, they would only teach him the general knowledge.

Gu Jinmian: “…..?”

This does not seem to be a compliment.

“Where am I being arrogant?”

Du Bai’an said, “Not arrogant.”

Bai Xinyu: “……”

While they were talking, Gu Lifan and Gu Xijun came, Gu Jinmian got up and said a few words to them, and led them to meet a group of people again.

When seeing Yin Moshu, Gu Lifan was very happy and praised him several times.

Eldest brother Gu Xijun didn’t say much, and kept secretly observing Yin Moshu.

Shi Yi liked Yin Moshu very much, and so did Gu Lifan. He wished he could have dug Gu Jinmian out of that deep pit called Ji Nan sooner. No matter who it was, he’d be all grateful.

Gu Xijun also really wanted Gu Jinmian to come out, but he was also worried that Gu Jinmian had stepped out of the wolf’s den only to enter the tiger’s mouth.

Yin Moshu noticed his gaze, nodded to him, and smiled.

His brows twisted into a frown, he always felt that this was not a good thing.

But the rest of the family didn’t feel that way at all.

Gu Jinmian looked at Yin Moshu with eyes full of light, Shi Yi praised Yin Moshu everywhere, Gu Lifan…..Gu Lifan went to Ji Nan and Hang Yuanting like a primary school chicken. (TL: childish or immature adults. )

The two hadn’t seen each other for a long time.

The proud and elated Gu Lifan pointed to Gu Jinmian and Yin Moshu and said, “It’s a good match, can’t say that it’s not too much of a match made in heaven.”

Ji Nan: “…….”

Gu Lifan carefully looked at Ji Nan’s ugly face, and asked, “Did you look in the mirror the last time I asked you?”

Ji Nan: “Gu Lifan, don’t go too far!”

Gu Lifan only smiled and said, “What familiar words, I don’t know how many times I have said it to you before.”

He looked at Hang Yuanting, then at Ji Nan, “You guys are also very well matched, wishing you a long lasting relationship.”

For the first time, the two felt that the words of blessing were a swear.

They felt that Gu Lifan was swearing, but thinking so, wasn’t it just swearing the other party?

Gu Lifan felt comfortable.

He had seen enough of the aggrievedness of the two of them, and left with a clear and refreshed mind.

“Let’s go.” Ji Nan said wearily.

He couldn’t stay here for a moment.

Hang Yuanting was still a little bit reluctant, seeing the big shots of this house.

Ji Nan pulled him to the terrace on the second floor irritably, “Hang Yuanting, isn’t that enough?”

Hang Yuanting, who was full of anger and embarrassment, also lost his temper, “Ji Nan, what’s with your attitude, you feel ashamed of me now, don’t you? You have changed!”

“I have changed?” Ji Nan sneered, “Yes, I have changed, but I didn’t expect you to be such a person either!”

“What kind of person am I?”

“Don’t you know yourself? Do you still need me to tell you about the dirty things you did with Ji Ming? Are you still the first love face young man in the entertainment industry back then?”

Ji Nan never expected that the person who was as stunning as white moonlight when he first saw him back then would do this kind of thing behind his back. Not only did he and Ji Ming have those nasty deeds, but they also lied to Gu Jinmian and taught Gu Jinmian the wrong way of pursuing, making him hate Gu Jinmian more and more.

Obviously before, he had always liked Gu Jinmian, and the relationship between the two had always been very good.

Thinking about it now, cursing Gu Jinmian before, driving away Gu Jinmian, locking up Gu Jinmian, every time, it was indispensable that Hang Yuanting was fanning the flames on the sidelines.

If it wasn’t for him, he and Gu Jinmian……

“Ji Nan, is this what your love is for seven years? We have been together for six years now, can’t I make a few mistakes? Do you have a conscience!”

Ji Nan said irritably, “Stop beating around the bush and telling me that you gave me all your youth, haven’t I also given you all? I took into account our relationship for several years and didn’t mention breaking up or saying other serious things, isn’t that enough!”

Hang Yuanting showed an expression of disbelief, followed by Ji Nan’s familiar grievance, he opened his mouth to speak.

But Ji Nan didn’t want to hear those words at all.

It’s not enough.

Saying things a thousand times.

The youth of a star was indeed very precious, thus in the past he would always compensate Hang Yuanting a lot. He couldn’t remember how many films and TV dramas he had invested in over the years.

However, is he not giving enough, or is his youth worthless?

Why do you say that every time?

When Ji Nan turned to leave, he met Gu Jinmian who was standing by the terrace.

Gu Jinmian: “……”

He didn’t mean to eavesdrop.

He just came here to pick a red rose.

Yin Moshu gave him a white rose, and many people praised this white rose as a good match for him today.

Gu Jinmian also wanted to give Yin Moshu one. After much deliberation, the Samantha red rose on the terrace was more suitable for Yin Moshu today.

However, he didn’t expect to hear such a conversation.

Ji Nan didn’t know why he was so angry, even more so than at any moment tonight, “What are you doing here? Hurry up and leave!”

“Oh.” Gu Jinmian turned to him with a paralyzed face, “But this is my home, you are the one who needs to leave, now, go.”

Ji Nan: “……”

He was still not used to Gu Jinmian talking to him like this.

Gu Jinmian never opposed him before, refused him, and only listened to him almost everything, let alone driving him away.

His heart was extremely unbalanced.

Ji Nan: “Gu Jinmian, do you still remember how you used to follow behind me?”

Gu Jinmian blinked, “Forgot.”

Ji Nan: “……”

“You guys hurry up, I’m going in to pick roses.”

Ji Nan glared.

Gu Jinmian: “Second elder brother…”

Ji Nan left immediately, with a face that was extremely ugly.

Hang Yuanting hesitated for a moment and followed suit.

When they were leaving, they happened to bump into Yin Moshu.

Yin Moshu had been the center of sight all night.

Ji Nan felt a bit embarrassed for no reason.

Yin Moshu’s emotionless eyes just casted a glance at them and then walked towards the terrace.

Gu Jinmian had selected a rose and cut it with a scissor.

He chose the one with the best shape and the brightest color, cut it and looked at it for a while, and when seeing Yin Moshu standing there, became a little embarrassed.

“Yin Moshu, I also found a rose for you.”

Yin Moshu’s eyes moved from the deep red rose in his hand to his face.

The roses on the terrace were fragrant, and the light was blended into pale white by the lights and the moonlight. Gu Jinmian blinked his eyelashes, and it glistened afterwards. His eyes were also clear and bright, reflecting the rose and him.

He stepped forward and stood in front of Yin Moshu, awkwardly inserting the rose into the handkerchief pocket of Yin Moshu’s suit.

The Samantha red rose was a deep red color, with blackish-green leaves, and elegant curling edges, a matte velvet finish.

A perfect match with today’s Yin Moshu.

After Gu Jinmian put it properly for Yin Moshu, he raised his head and met Yin Moshu’s downcast eyes, which had the same dark color as this rose.

But it’s also so beautiful.

Gu Jinmian was stunned for a moment, and immediately laughed.

“Yin Moshu, Mom told me today that I can be more arrogant, I can treat you better in the future, and you can also be a little more unscrupulous in the circle, you’ll never be wronged.”

Yin Moshu’s eyes darkened a bit, as if some accumulated emotions were fermenting.

Gu Jinmian was completely enveloped by his deep gaze, unable to even move.

Then, he smiled.

Gu Jinmian couldn’t tell the meaning of his smile, he had read so many chapters of the original book, and He Bujin used many words to describe Yin Moshu’s smile, but he couldn’t find an appropriate word to describe his smile at this time.

Smiling as if resigned to fate, but also very happy.

In the original novel, it was impossible for Yin Moshu to have a resigned smile.

After Ji Nan and Hang Yuanting went out, when they looked back, they happened to see this scene.

A lot of red roses were planted beside the fence of the terrace on the second floor. Behind the clusters of roses, under the ambiguous light, Yin Moshu and Gu Jinmian looked at each other.

Yin Moshu’s smile was particularly dazzling.

With a very strong sense of pleasure and happiness, and as a result, it was dazzling.

Then he put his hand behind Gu Jinmian’s head, and rubbed it lightly as if treating some kind of treasure.

Gu Jinmian froze for a moment, then narrowed his eyes happily, and took a step closer to him. He didn’t know what he said, but his eyes were brighter than the stars in the sky at the moment.

Ji Nan suddenly remembered that many years ago, on this terrace, and there were still many roses here like now. Gu Jinmian was drawing with a paintbrush, and in the final product, his back was the only thing that’s visible.

He asked Gu Jinmian: “What about these roses?”

Gu Jinmian pouted blankly, “Forgot, I was simply looking at you.”

His mood at that time reappeared faintly many years later. 

At this moment, Yin Moshu suddenly looked over.

He stood on the terrace on the second floor, looking down with drooping eyes.

With this distance combined with the dark of the night, Ji Nan couldn’t see his eyes clearly, however he froze in place suddenly, and his heart tightened.

The red scar on his forehead was a bit darker than when he first saw it, as if it was about to crack open. It looked a bit terrifying in the night and on his cold white skin.

Gu Jinmian seemed to notice that he was about to turn his head, Yin Moshu turned his head away and led him into the room.

In the end, he didn’t even look at him with a glance.

Ji Nan’s irritability reached its peak, and he was about to explode.

“It’s just a starlet who relies on his face to make a living!”

Hang Yuanting, whose emotions were depressed, seemed to be ignited when he heard it, “Who are you talking about?”

Ji Nan: “Can you shut up!”

The two glared angrily at each other for tens of seconds, then walked forward in silence.

After Gu Jinmian and Yin Moshu entered the room together, when everyone saw the red rose on Yin Moshu’s chest, there was another burst of ambiguous laughter and teasing.

“Red roses go well with white roses.”

“There must be too many people chatting up with Yin Moshu today, Young Master Gu used matching roses to express his possessiveness.”

“Red rose, means strong love ah.”

Gu Jinmian: “…..”

It really didn’t have that much meaning, he just thought that if Yin Moshu gave him a white rose, he would give Yin Moshu one too.

Gu Xijun took a careful look at the white rose on Gu Jinmian’s chest, saw the drop of blood, frowned, stepped forward and took the white rose away.

Gu Jinmian: “….?”

“Give it back to me!” He reached out and grabbed it.

The crowd burst into another ambiguous laugh.

Shi Yi came up and snatched it back for Gu Jinmian, and scolded Gu Xijun, “Stupid, you don’t understand romance at all.”

Gu Xijun: “…….”

Gu Jinmian took the flower and didn’t put it back in his pocket, as if afraid of being robbed again, he kept holding it in his hands, pretending to be a tiger, saying, “Precisely.”

Shi Yi looked at him and smiled, and said to Yin Moshu, “It’s too late, don’t go back tonight.”

Gu Jinmian’s body stiffened.

If they don’t go back, as a “couple”, do they have to sleep together?

Shi Yi said to Bai Xinyu and Du Bai’an also, “Don’t go back, Mianmian’s room is enough to sleep in.”

Bai Xinyu responded immediately, “Oh, good! Thank you, Aunt Shi!”

The other two did not speak, as if represented by him.

That’s how Shi Yi acquiesced, “I’ll send someone to tidy it up for you all.”

Bai Xinyu was very happy. When he went to Gu Jinmian’s small villa, he almost jumped up with excitement. “Go to sleep in Home’s room, Home’s room must be different, right?”

Gu Jinmian chuckled, “My room is full of the scent of a stepmother.”

Bai Xinyu: “…….”

The smile on his face froze.

“Oh, just kidding, what stepmother, never heard of it.” Bai Xinyu waved his hand.

The more Gu Jinmian looked at him, the more he felt that he was stupid. He really didn’t understand why He Bujin let such a person be the protagonist.

He rolled his eyes, and suddenly said to Bai Xinyu. “Yin Moshu had a dream, dreaming that he lived in a book, and you are the protagonist in that book.”

“Pfft hahahahahaha! How could that be, is that author an idiot? He actually wrote me as the main character hahaha!!”

Du Bai’an: “…….”

Gu Jinmian: “……”

Yin Moshu: “…….”

“Ha, ha, ha.” Bai Xinyu’s smile gradually froze.

He felt a cold and dangerous aura.

He quieted down a tiny bit, rolled his eyes, and became silent as a winter cicada.

“Hahahahahahaha!”

Suddenly, a more exaggerated laughter sounded, breaking the condensed dangerous atmosphere.

It was from Gu Jinmian.

Gu Jinmian laughed loudly.

Bai Xinyu cursed He Bujin hahaha!

This is a great satisfaction!

That dog He Bujin forced all directions towards Bai Xinyu, in order to pave the way for Bai Xinyu, he will not hesitate to hurt Yin Moshu again and again, treating Bai Xinyu like his own son.

Didn’t expect that, hahaha!

Bai Xinyu actually thought that He Bujin was an idiot!

Gu Jinmian was so happy, it was like seeing a father who was biased in every way and sold his younger son to pave the way for his eldest son, but was later betrayed by his eldest son.

Wonderful! Delightful!

Gu Jinmian hugged Bai Xinyu’s shoulders, “That’s right! The author is an idiot!”

Yin Moshu: “……..”

Bai Xinyu was a little dazed, and he was dazed for a second, only to be overwhelmed by an unexpected favor.

Although I don’t know why Home is so warm and kind to me, I was finally so close to him, so just follow his words.

“Yeah, that author is really stupid, otherwise it’s simply a brain problem, how can someone like me be the protagonist, even if there is a protagonist, it should be someone like you, or someone like Yin Moshu.”

After speaking, Bai Xinyu gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.

Not only did he follow what Home said, but he also flattered him quietly.

He is really a clever little ghost.

Sure enough.

Gu Jinmian: “Hahahahahahaha!”

Gu Jinmian automatically ignored himself, and only heard the protagonist say that He Bujin was an idiot, and that Yin Moshu should be the protagonist.

But it’s so fun to swear at people!

He had heard from the flight attendants before that as long as there were stars they disliked in common, they were good friends.

It turned out that the same goes for the authors.

Especially when that person was someone the author particularly likes.

Gu Jinmian found Bai Xinyu much more pleasing to the eye, and could be a friend, he didn’t even mind him calling himself home.

He put his arms around Bai Xinyu’s shoulders, looking like two good brothers, “By the way, why did you call me stepmother in Director Lin’s crew?”

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Bai Xinyu thought that he was always indifferent to his answers before, this time, he wouldn’t mind his answers as well, right?

Bai Xinyu said cautiously, “Because you were cold and fierce when you first saw me, and wished that I would disappear, so there is only a little bit, um, only a little bit likeness of a stepmother.”

Gu Jinmian patted him on the shoulder, “You’re right, I was prejudiced against you back then, but I didn’t expect you to be so amusing.”

Bai Xinyu opened his eyes wide in surprise, “Home, I’m so happy when you say that!”

The two became good brothers because they cursed the same person together.

“Then what?” Gu Jinmian wanted to listen to Bai Xinyu’s cursing a few more times.

Bai Xinyu was very keen. “That, the author is an idiot?”

Gu Jinmian: “Hahahahahahaha!”

Laughing until you crawl.

The two walked together with their arms around each other’s shoulders.

Bai Xinyu: “So many excellent people chose me as the protagonist, that idiot author is even more blind.”

Gu Jinmian: “Hahahahahahaha!”

Yin Moshu: “…..”

Du Bai’an, who was walking behind them with Yin Moshu, trembled.

This night, the night was darker than usual, and it seemed that it would never end.

I can’t seem to see the sun rising tomorrow.
