Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

Chapter 587 Sweetie Caught Cheating?

……

……

At six o'clock in the morning, the sky in Shanghai was not yet fully bright.

"Xiaoya, Xiaoya, hurry! Where is the master? If he's right next to you, don't reply yet."

"It's me! I'm back! I want to give the master a surprise!!"

Zhao Ya was half-asleep when she was jolted awake by Da Tiantian's phone call.

"Who is it... Don't they know that the Emperor cannot be disturbed while he is sleeping?!"

Zhao Ya, with the lingering resentment of someone who's been forcibly awakened, was like a vengeful spirit.

But when she saw the words "Consort Jing" lit up on her phone screen, her anger instantly dissipated.

Alright, I won't complain.

Zhao Ya turned over, buried her face in the pillow, and sighed softly.

She didn't expect these young ladies to understand the feelings of them, the "servants."

"Teacher Sweetie, the boss isn't with me. We're completely innocent, please don't misunderstand!"

When Zhao Ya saw the message, she was almost scared to death. Her mind cleared instantly, and she quickly typed an explanation.

"Teacher Sweetie, did you see that?"

She even held up her phone and recorded a video in all directions around the room, adding voiceover as she recorded: "My bed is clean, with only one pillow. There are no men's clothes in the closet, no men's razors in the bathroom, and no suspicious items in the trash can—I am completely innocent, purer than pure milk!"

"Xiaoya, what are you saying?"

Da Tiantian made a voice call directly, her voice full of mixed emotions of laughter and tears:

"I meant to give your brother a surprise, not to ask you whether he slept with you."

She paused.

His tone suddenly turned sour, like taking a bite of an unripe green plum:

"Besides, if I really wanted to arrest someone, why would I call you? I'd definitely call those... ha..."

"Ah—oh—Teacher Sweetie, you said you wanted to surprise the boss, I know. Where are you now? I'll come pick you up..."

Zhao Ya pretended to be stupid and didn't respond at all.

"We'll be at the hotel soon, in about 10 minutes."

"Okay, okay, I'll go downstairs and wait for you right away."

Zhao Ya hung up the phone, quickly got out of bed, and muttered to herself.

"They're already 'competing for favor'? In 'The Legend of Zhen Huan,' the chubby orange had more than 20 concubines. Boss, you're just a nobody here?"

She put on her coat, ran her fingers through her hair in front of the mirror, and then bent down to put on her shoes.

"The best is yet to come..."

Zhao Ya quickly washed her face, brushed her teeth, grabbed her room key, and went out.

The hotel lobby was deserted, with only the young woman at the front desk yawning.

Zhao Ya rubbed her arms and stamped her feet. She stood at the door for less than two minutes when a black minivan came to a smooth stop in front of her.

The car door opened, and Da Tian Tian, ​​wearing sunglasses and a mask, poked her head out of the car, followed by two sleepy-eyed assistants.

"Teacher Sweetie."

Zhao Ya greeted them with a smile, inwardly giving herself a thumbs up for her perfect timing.

"Xiaoya, is the master working out at the gym right now? You didn't tell me I'm back, did you?"

Jing Tian casually took Zhao Ya's arm, turned her head and asked in a low voice.

"No, I don't even know if the boss is awake or not."

Zhao Ya answered truthfully, explaining as she walked, "My boss is considerate of my busy work schedule. He usually gets up and exercises on his own in the morning and doesn't send me messages or call me."

"So that's how it is. The expert is still so gentle and considerate."

Jing Tian said proudly, her chin slightly raised.

Zhao Ya's lips twitched slightly.

Sister, didn't you realize I was "pointing out" you?

She shook her head helplessly in her heart.

There are advantages to being naive and innocent.

Putting everything else aside, the other concubines probably couldn't have learned this trick from Consort Jing.

"Teacher Sweetie, how about I ask the boss for you if he's awake yet?"

"Ask away, ask away, but please don't tell anyone I'm here."

"I get it, I get it, it's a 'surprise'."

Zhao Ya took out her phone and quickly typed: "Boss, Teacher Jing Tian has arrived. She has a surprise for you!"

send.

Then, she casually put her phone back in her pocket, a professional smile on her face.

The movement was so fast that Jing Tian didn't even see it clearly. She only felt a blur before her eyes, and then her phone was gone.

"Did they go back? Did they go back?"

"Not yet, we'll hear from them when they get back. I can hear the vibrations."

Holding her phone, Zhao Ya smiled and said, "Teacher Tian, ​​please check in first. I'll let you know when I get back to you."

Why would I need to check in?

Da Tiantian looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Zhao Ya's smile froze on her face; her mouth opened slightly, then closed again.

Have we become this direct already?

"Teacher Tian, ​​how about we get a spare room to put some of your luggage in? There's a spare room right next door, and I've reserved it for you."

Zhao Ya tentatively spoke up, thinking she had to find a way out for her boss.

"Alright, let the assistant handle it. You take me to find my brother first."

Da Tian Tian narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, as if she was thinking of some unpleasant scene, and pulled Zhao Ya into the elevator by herself.

Her finger was on the close button, and she turned to look at Zhao Ya:

"I'm a little sleepy."

"I'm so sleepy... I'm going to sleep."

Zhao Ya has a slight stutter.

"I'm waiting for you to swipe my card for me, aren't I?"

Jing Tian smiled and said, just as the elevator doors were slowly closing.

suddenly,

She suddenly asked, "Is someone in your brother's room?"

"Nobody's here!"

Without hesitation, Zhao Ya spoke righteously and loudly, her voice echoing in the elevator.

"Where did this person come from? Teacher Tian, ​​don't overthink it. The boss works very late every day and sleeps alone."

"Really?"

Da Tiantian looked at her with a skeptical expression, tilting her head.

She felt that her intelligence had now reached a high level.

"Of course it's true, why would I lie to you?"

Zhao Ya spoke with earnestness and good intentions.

"Teacher Sweetie, you have to trust the boss's character. He doesn't break the law. If the boss heard this, he would be so heartbroken."

"I...I didn't say my brother went to find those people..."

Da Tiantian replied somewhat guiltily,

"Xiaoya, don't slander me."

"Ding-dong-"

The elevator doors opened.

"Come on, come on, just swipe my room card for me, okay?"

Da Tiantian pulled Zhao Ya outside, looking around.

Where is the room number?

"Teacher Sweetie, where do I get the room key to the boss's room?"

Zhao Ya spread her hands with a bitter expression.

"The boss is sleeping in the room, and I have his room key. What kind of situation is this? If you were in his shoes, wouldn't you also feel uneasy sleeping there? If you don't believe me, try searching me."

She opened her arms wide, adopting a "bring it on, I'm not afraid" stance.

"Then call your brother."

Da Tiantian actually reached into her pocket a couple of times, her fingers touched a hard card, and when she pulled it out, she saw it was a room key.

Her pretty face instantly changed color:

"What's this?!"

"Teacher Sweetie, I need to carry my room key with me when I go out. This has my room number on it, and the owner is here..."

Zhao Ya was on the verge of tears, and pointed towards the end of the corridor.

"I don't believe you! Take me there to see!"

Da Tiantian pulled her along and quickly found Gu Qing's room number.

The door was dark brown, with gold-stamped numbers on the doorplate, which gleamed coldly under the dim light of the corridor.

When Da Tiantian used her room card to press the access control button, her fair hands were trembling.

"I only told my brother I was arriving at noon. He was going to be with another woman this morning, so I..."

I recall hearing outrageous rumors about male celebrities in the industry, such as meeting female internet celebrities at night, bringing different girls back to their hotels, and being photographed embracing two women at nightclubs.

Jing Tian's chest heaved violently, her lips clenched tightly around her lower lip; she simply couldn't imagine what that scene would happen.

"Shh-"

The access control sticker was affixed and emitted a very faint electronic sound.

The red light flashed once.

The door remained unresponsive.

Jing Tian was stunned.

She blinked, then applied the sticker again, but there was still no reaction.

The air became quiet.

Zhao Ya took a step back, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and remained silent with a dark expression.

"Teacher Sweetie, you're being a bit disrespectful to me, and even to the boss."

"If you think there's something wrong with the boss, you can message or call him yourself. There's no need to drag me along!"

Zhao Ya said very seriously, looking directly at Jing Tian without flinching or backing down.

"I'm the boss's agent, not your agent!"

Don't underestimate the Grand Eunuch!

Jing Tian's hand froze in mid-air; the room card was still stuck to the access control. Her eyelashes trembled, like butterflies fluttering their wings. Then...

Da Tiantian turned around, looked at Zhao Ya, and decisively chose to back down, resorting to coquettishness:

"Xiaoya, I was wrong, I'm sorry..."

"Xiaoya, I... I just love my little brother so much, please don't be angry, okay?"

I'll buy you a present when I get back!

Looking at Da Tiantian, Zhao Ya's anger subsided considerably.

"How come good-looking people don't have any downsides at all?!"

Zhao Ya cursed herself inwardly for being so useless.

Even as a fellow girl, I felt soft-hearted when Da Tiantian acted so cute.

As for the gifts she received as bribes, she certainly didn't care.

"We don't accept money!"

"I understand, I understand, I won't give you any money."

"..."

Zhao Ya sighed, her tone softening:

"Sigh... Ms. Sweetie, as the manager, I certainly know whether the boss's room is empty or not."

Anyway, we're already at the door. If you don't believe me, call and ask yourself.

"Oh."

"oh?!"

Zhao Ya's eyes widened. She thought that Da Tiantian would know when to stop and would obediently go to the next room to rest.

She had even started planning in her mind how to make this young lady a cup of warm milk to help her sleep.

"Xiaoya, you're right. We're already at my brother's door, so I'll make a call to ask, just to avoid any misunderstandings."

But Da Tian Tian actually took her phone out of her bag and started dialing, nodding as she did so.

Zhao Ya: "..."

Hey sis, can't you understand what I'm saying?!

"Is there really no one in the boss's room?"

Even Zhao Ya panicked.

Who can predict what will happen to celebrities?

The phone rang for a long time.

One sound, two sounds, three sounds.

The phone struck Jing Tian's heart, and her pretty face gradually paled, her fingers gripping the phone so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

Fourth tone, fifth tone, sixth tone.

Zhao Ya almost chewed her fingers raw.

Seventh tone, eighth tone, ninth tone.

Jing Tian's heart sank to the bottom.

She's already starting to imagine the worst possible outcome.

There was a woman in the room, so Gu Qing couldn't answer the phone. She was either frantically getting dressed or trying to calm the woman down...

The tenth tone.

"Beep—Hello?"

The phone was answered.

A hoarse voice, tinged with sleepiness, rang out in the quiet corridor.

Zhao Ya's heart jumped into her throat.

Jing Tian's breath hitched for a second.

"...It's me, your younger brother."

Her voice trembled, like a string stretched too tight:

"I arrived early to give you a surprise. Xiaoya and I are right outside your room now."

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone.

"Sister Sweetie, your 'surprise' is too childish... Wait for me, I'll open the door for you."

Gu Qing let out a soft sigh, followed by the rustling sound of clothes being put on, and footsteps approaching from afar.

"Long live the boss!!"

Zhao Ya put down her fingers, which were almost raw from chewing, and straightened her chest, letting out a long sigh of relief.

"pat-"

The door opened.

Gu Qing stood in the doorway, his eyes not fully open, his eyelids drooping, and his hair a little messy.

He rubbed his eyes, looked at Da Tian Tian who was so close to him, and then shifted his gaze from her face to Zhao Ya behind her:

"Sister Xiaoya, thank you for your hard work. Go back to sleep."

"Okay, boss, I'll be going now."

Zhao Ya turned around, took two steps, and then stopped.

She turned around and came to Jing Tian's side.

"Teacher Sweetie, please give me the room key first."

Da Tiantian kept her head down, like an ostrich, and didn't say a word.

Her face was buried in her chest, her ears as red as boiled shrimp.

Zhao Ya snatched the room card from her hand and turned to leave like a victorious general.

Only two people remained in the corridor.

"Sister Tian, ​​are you trying to use Sister Xiaoya's room card to open my room?"

Gu Qing chuckled and shook her head, stepping aside to make room for the doorway.

"If someone else has my room key, how can I dare to sleep?"

"..."

Da Tian Tian felt guilty and ashamed and didn't dare to say a word.

Xiaoya and her brother are indeed managers; they say the same things.

We're doomed, we're doomed.

If my brother finds out that I don't trust him at all, I'm doomed!

"Xiaoya, I'm begging you, I'll buy you the latest LV bag, but please don't let it slip!"

She prayed frantically in her heart.

Upon entering,

Da Tian Tian's shoulders suddenly relaxed.

"Flying must be tiring, right?"

Gu Qing gently placed her handbag on the table.

Then, he helped her take off her mask and reached out to rub Jing Tian's cheek.

"I received the surprise and I'm very happy. I had my opera class until four or five in the morning last night, and the most important thing now is to get some rest."

His voice was soft, his palms were warm, and his fingertips were slightly cool.

Jing Tian buried her head in her chest, opened her arms and hugged Gu Qing, saying nothing, with only one thought in her mind:

"I'm a complete scoundrel!"

……

Feeling guilty, Jing Tian lay down next to Gu Qing, inhaling that familiar, refreshing scent, and closed her eyes without realizing it.

When I opened my eyes again, the sun was already high in the sky.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, casting a long, golden band of light on the floor.

There was no one around.

"Younger brother? A master?"

Jing Tian hurriedly propped herself up, the blanket covering her slipping down to her waist.

Her hair was sticking up, and her face still had the flush of just waking up. Before her eyes were fully open, she called out for help.

"I'm washing my face, Sweetie, what's wrong?"

The next moment, Gu Qing, clean and neatly dressed, walked over from the direction of the bathroom.

"I had a nightmare."

Da Tiantian sat on the bed, reached out and hugged Gu Qing's waist, buried her face in his chest, pouted, and said in a muffled voice, "I dreamed that you were kidnapped."

"This is a good thing."

"what?"

"A slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue, it's just a joke."

Seeing Da Tian Tian looking bewildered and on the verge of tears, Gu Qing chuckled and patted her head.

"Now that you're awake, let's go eat first. I still have rehearsal this afternoon."

"Can I go?" Da Tiantian's eyes lit up as she looked up at him expectantly.

"Where are you going?" Gu Qing asked, puzzled.

"I'm afraid you'll get bullied. What if you run into the group that's making pirated copies of our 'Love O2O'? What will you do without me by your side?"

Big Sweetie clenched her fists, united in their hatred of the enemy.

Gu Qing opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say, and finally only managed to utter one sentence:

"Everyone's products are genuine and authorized."

Besides some of Gu Qing's acquaintances, there will naturally be a few "enemies" at tomorrow night's Scream Night.

The cast and crew of the film version of "Love O2O," which is competing with it, as well as director Feng Xiaogang, who hasn't been seen for two months, will also appear tomorrow night to promote his film "Youth."

Thinking of Director Feng,

Gu Qing, however, was thinking of something else entirely.

In his mind, the only film that could rival "Duckweed" during the entire Lunar New Year film season was actually Feng Xiaogang's "Youth".

For an art film to achieve a box office of nearly 15 billion yuan is a remarkable achievement, beyond doubt.

but,

Gu Qing hadn't seen that film; she'd only heard the narration.

He vaguely remembered hearing a rumor in his previous life: after the release of Youth, Director Feng immediately started "refreshing" his film career, but he didn't know if it was true.

"If Director Feng opens up a 'run' (referring to a specific production company), 'Duckweed' should have no rivals, right?"

Gu Qing couldn't help but think.

At least, he hoped the rumors were true.
