under fame

When the elevator was free, Lu Huai went through Zhang Li's statement again in his mind, and then checked Wu Dongxu's number on his mobile phone.

"Lu Huai!" Wu Dongxu's answer was a little unclear.

"Hey. Teacher, I turned off the phone yesterday. It was really a headache. I didn't answer the phone on purpose..."

"Okay. Don't explain." Wu Dongxu smiled, "Zhang Li called me."

"..." Lu Huai's throat tightened.

"Tell me, please do me a favor. Some media have approached me just now, asking me if Zhang Li is in my class, and if there is such a student making a movie..." Wu Dongxu coughed, "For You, I still have to lie to the media, it's too late..."

Lu Huai breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you."

"I don't have the right to talk about your young people's emotional issues," Wu Dongxu said, "but I have to talk about you. Zhang Li asked me for help, why didn't you say a word? Want to take it yourself? Do you know if you admit it? There's no turning back?"

Lu Huai was speechless for this series of questions, "I didn't think about it at the time... I just want him to get away."

"Wishful thinking. When he called me, he was so nervous that he couldn't speak well. Fortunately, I can guess what's going on." Wu Dongxu continued, "If it wasn't for him to force the public opinion, the consequences of your doing so It is a psychological gap between him and you that cannot be crossed in this lifetime. Whether it is gossip or getting together less and more, it is not the biggest relationship problem in your career, or even parents' opposition and time passing. , these are not the biggest problems..."

When the elevator arrived at the floor, there was a soft "ding". This sound, together with Wu Dongxu's words, hit Lu Huai's forehead like a big stick, and sweat broke out in an instant.

"Ms. Wu, thank you very much." Lu Huai entered the elevator and pressed the button on the first floor, "I will take care of this matter."

At this moment, Fang Ruolin was alone, without a manager or assistant. Outside the lobby on the first floor of the building where Lu Huai's studio was located, Fang Ruolin was surrounded by a crowd, and the camera was almost on her face.She kept her smile for ten years with a good temper, tilted her head slightly, and listened carefully to every question.Although there were too many questioners, the voice was too noisy.

This situation will definitely be scoffed at by many female artists, this is to grab the headlines again.

"Have you read Zhang Li's latest statement? Do you believe it?" a female reporter asked.

"Not yet. However, I don't care what he says, I trust Lu Huai 100%." ​​Fang Ruolin's expression remained unchanged, and the corners of her mouth remained motionless.

There were intermittent discussions in the group of reporters, and then a sharp male voice came out from the crowd, "Someone on a certain forum broke the news that Zhang Li had been with Lu Huai in order to debut, and Lu Huai and you were just together. To cover up."

Fang Ruolin's back teeth clenched slightly, and when it was about to affect the facial lines, she relaxed again with a high degree of self-control, and said with a smile, "You shouldn't ask me about Zhang Li..."

Before he could finish speaking, a group of reporters spotted Lu Huai walking slowly out of the elevator, and immediately more than half of the people and cameras came out of the encirclement.With a smile on his face, Lu Huai pushed open the glass door from the inside.He nodded towards the surrounding reporters, then immediately walked to Fang Ruolin's side, and took her hand.Fang Ruolin felt a little flattered in her heart, but her face quickly acted like it was taken for granted.

The male voice just now asked that embarrassing question again.Lu Huai clasped Fang Ruolin's hand with the fingers of his right hand, raised his left elbow, and protected Fang Ruolin with a little space away from the encirclement. His body language was refusing, but he replied with a smile on his face, "If you follow me, you can make your debut and become famous." If I become like him, then I really have too much energy. However, I can't even suppress an unfounded revelation, friends, can this logic be self-consistent?"

Fang Ruolin smiled faintly, looked at Lu Huai with admiration, leaned her head slightly towards his shoulder, and obediently let him lead her to the glass door.Lu Huai stood still, embraced Fang Ruolin and said, "I am very grateful that Ruolin never doubted me from the beginning to the end. Such a relationship is so rare. Zhang Li is a very good actor, and he can be distinguished by his popularity. Time to go to film school is not easy. I hope this revelation will not affect the relationship between him and me. The above are all my responses to this incident. I know you have many questions to ask, but I hope you understand, this The revelation caused a lot of trouble to me and my studio, after today, I will continue my work and will not answer related questions, thank you for your concern.”

After Lu Huai finished speaking, he bowed, turned around and hugged Fang Ruolin with half of his body, and opened the door of the hall.The glass doors closed slowly, and the reporters dispersed in groups of threes after taking a few photos of their backs.Different media focused on different points, but as long as Lu Huai responded positively in front of the camera, they would have completed the task after squatting for a long time.Reporters who are used to the entertainment industry are much less gossip-minded than ordinary people. What they have to deal with is only readers and the public.

On the elevator, Lu Huai let go of his hand.

"Oh, I'm so annoying to you, I won't hold you for a second." Fang Ruolin laughed at herself.

"Why are you here? Why didn't you say anything." Lu Huai leaned on the elevator handrail with his hands crossed, his tone indifferent.

After Fang Ruolin heard this, she gave him a sideways glance, "I want to be in the headlines, that's fine."

"You're still making headlines when you're staying at home, so there's no need to be blocked." Lu Huai sighed softly, "Your acting skills are not up to the mark. The muscles on your face are too tense, and your eyes are obviously panicked. That layer of smile is not real enough."

"I want to be saved by your hero." Fang Ruolin was exposed, and she simply said the truth, "And...in theory, we should show our affection in front of the media now and shift the focus."

Lu Huai stopped talking, and the two stood in the elevator, one on the left and the other on the right, waiting for it to slowly rise to the top floor.The moment the elevator door opened, Lu Huai grabbed Fang Ruolin's hand and led her to the stairwell, then took out two cigarettes, handed one of them to Fang Ruolin's fingers, and said, "I owe you last time, here is You make up."

Fang Ruolin froze for a few seconds before remembering what she was talking about. The corners of her mouth moved slightly, and she put the cigarette between her lips.

Lu Huai leaned over and set her on fire. The two breaths almost crossed each other. Fang Ruolin leaned back uncontrollably, her high heels almost lost her balance, and she quickly supported the wall with her other elbow.

"The way we are doing now is very unfair to you." Lu Huai puffed out his cigarette and lowered his voice, "Originally you should stay away from me and gradually forget about me. But now you still come here to play this kind of affection with me. Girls shouldn't have to endure this kind of torture."

Fang Ruolin's jaw tightened, and the originally soft jawline became a little sharper. She swallowed her cigarette and said slowly, "That's not the case. You think girls can't stand being rejected, and shouldn't, so girls can't pursue People. It’s like you think girls shouldn’t suffer career setbacks and social pressure, so girls should marry a good man and be cared for, right?”

Lu Huai paused with his fingertips holding a cigarette, "That's not what I meant."

"That's what you mean." Fang Ruolin said, "You even think that Zhang Li can't bear the pressure, and you have to bear the double responsibility for him."

Before Lu Huai could deny it, Fang Ruolin took out a portable ashtray very coolly, flicked off the ash and handed it to Lu Huai, "I used to chase you, but I couldn't. I admit it. Now, I just like you purely. If I want to protect you, even if I can’t get you, I’m still willing. What? Do you think you’re the only one in the world with this ability? Or do you think knights in this world can only have one gender?”

Lu Huai was speechless again, feeling that he had learned more lessons this day than in a year, and the personal heroism that was deeply planted in his bones by his father since childhood was almost beaten to the ground.

"It doesn't feel good to be unilaterally protected, doesn't it?" Fang Ruolin looked at the change in his face and smiled, "Don't you guys like to protect girls you can't catch? They will show up when you need them, and they will appear when you don't need them." Disappear automatically."

The meaning of this is almost like saying, it's okay, just treat me as a spare tire.

Lu Huai's three views have been quite confused at the moment, and he doesn't know what is the best way to deal with the girl in front of him.

After all, it is more scumbag to treat girls as spare tires with peace of mind?Or is it more scumbag to refuse to meet her without mercy?

Some people retreat in spite of difficulties, some don't break down and don't stand up, and some don't look back at the south wall.In the face of feelings, no one has a perfect solution.

"Stay here for dinner. It's getting late." After a long silence, both of them finished smoking a cigarette, Lu Huai finally said, "Let's go, let's introduce you to my colleague."

Lu Huai took Fang Ruolin up and down the floors of the studio, introduced them to his colleagues one by one, then returned to his office, found two boxes of instant spaghetti from the refrigerator, sprinkled some cheese powder, Put it in the microwave.

"Sorry, it's too chaotic today, I only have this to eat now." Lu Huai put the spaghetti in front of Fang Ruolin, "The small refrigerator next to you has drinks and beer, take it yourself."

Fang Ruolin responded, picked up the remote control on the table next to her and turned on the TV. Jinghua Satellite TV's entertainment news was already on the air.

"Hey, the speed is so fast. Did they upload at the same time? The shot was just taken 10 minutes ago." Fang Ruolin looked at Lu Huai protecting her back on the screen, and smiled very sweetly. This time her face was very muscular. Relaxed, the corners of the eyes also raised up.

"Well, the media reports are very fast now." Lu Huai replied absent-mindedly, his fingers wandering around on the phone, and Zhang Li's number was displayed on the screen.

Before he could finish the draft and dial the phone, Zhang Li's message popped up on WeChat.As if waiting for a lottery draw, Lu Huai quickly and panickedly entered.

A very straight-to-the-point WeChat message: "Asshole, I saw it. Once you hold someone's hand in the future, you have to listen to my orders unconditionally once in bed/on the bed. Once you kiss someone (which counts as filming), you have to dance for me once." Strip/dance, think of other punishment methods!"

The heavy worries that weighed on his heart melted into smoke in this message, and his emotional outlook, which had been taught by various people and almost collapsed, stood up tremblingly again, and Lu Huai breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, you did not blame me.Fortunately, you can forgive me.

His countless plans for apologizing collapsed in this message, and he quickly returned to the "good" past, almost instinctively, and couldn't think of another word.

Zhang Li in the hotel room saw this good word, and his back, which had been stiff for a long time, leaned against the edge of the bed until he relaxed inch by inch.After holding the phone for more than an hour and waiting for the call, the palms are still stained with sweat.In fact, he was more afraid than Lu Huai himself who didn't know how to apologize. He was afraid that the other party would stop talking because he didn't know how to speak, and he was afraid that the long silence between them would make each other think something that shouldn't come up.So despite calling him a bastard a hundred times in my heart, this more than an hour of waiting completely dispelled the desire to quarrel.

A word of "yes" seems to drip grease to the stuck gears, and the frozen relationship can finally work normally again.

"Go to bed early, you didn't sleep last night."

"it is good."

On the TV, Lu Huai and Fang Ruolin were holding hands. After Zhang Li replied to the message, he picked up the remote control and turned off the screen.

It's just that I will feel a little uncomfortable, but what does it matter?As long as she can protect you.
