Fake it on a dating show

Until he joined the company, Zhao Minglang didn't realize that suddenly became a hot topic.

As soon as she entered the company's gate, someone who had a good relationship with Zhao Minglang came up to her and asked her: "Mr. Zhao, have you and your family's good affairs ended?"

The visitor winked, almost writing the words "Bagua" on their foreheads.

Zhao Minglang was a little surprised: "How do you know?"

The man clicked on the hot topics pushed on the phone and showed her: "I was thinking that if you didn't catch up with someone, you wouldn't dare to let this kind of topic be released."

Zhao Minglang frowned, and caught a glimpse of the words "gay" on the topic at a glance.

The following are keywords such as "blind date show", "hype", "disgusting" and "beautiful love", which roughly summarize the attitude of the people who eat melons.

When he was on the blind date show before, Zhao Minglang did have a bit of intention to perform, so he didn't deliberately suppress this topic.

But as the popularity of the show passed, this topic has long been forgotten by the public.

And it's just for fun on the show, no one cares too much about gender and sexuality, so those sharp voices are in the minority after all.

Judging by the current heat and time, it seems more like being deliberately dug out and causing practical problems.

Zhao Minglang opened it and found that someone had revealed her identity.

So the original ordinary "little sister falls in love with young lady" love story has changed.

Talking about the grievances and grievances of the wealthy from the status of a rich man, before knowing the truth of the matter, I have already started to make up the sadomasochistic plot of another commoner lady who was kicked out by Miss Zhao's family.

There are those who hate the rich, those who despise homosexuality, those who maliciously speculate that another person is using means to get ahead, and those who envy and express true love.

Not all negative voices, but there are undoubtedly a lot more groundless speculations and comments.

Zhao Minglang was suddenly a little thankful that Lin Xingyue didn't pay much attention to these hot gossips.

"Tell them to keep their mouths shut." Zhao Minglang returned the phone, "Notify me of any situation."

Mr. Zhao went upstairs in a hurry, and a suffocation made everyone around him back away.

Before leaving get off work, the assistant brought the truth and a document.

After careful analysis, it could be said to be an accident. Someone leaked the matter of Lin Xingyue and Zhao Minglang living together to the unscrupulous media.

The unscrupulous media loves gossip and gossip. After picking up the company's artists, it's the boss's turn. He arranges them as soon as he gets an opportunity.

Some people even sent paparazzi to stay behind Zhao Minglang and took some specious photos.

"Who stabbed it?"

Seeing Mr. Zhao's face so cold that it was about to drop ice, the assistant immediately handed over the document in his hand.

This is a film and television project they are co-preparing with another company. The specific matters have already been negotiated, and the contract is waiting to be signed, and then the people below will implement it.

The fact that the assistant is handing it over now means that there is a small problem in it.

Zhao Minglang opened the document and saw that the first page was the tentative list of actors.

Gu Wanqi's name was impressively listed.

"Ms. Gu submitted the article anonymously, and she posted it to several companies at the same time. Some of them didn't dare to offend you, so they came here to say hello, and even picked up her alias."

Seeing Zhao Minglang looking at the list of actors, the assistant said: "I asked the person on the other side, and they said that Ms. Gu is a newcomer signed by a friend of their boss. She played a small supporting role, and she didn't have many roles. She was doing it for a newcomer from the same company. foil."

Zhao Minglang said: "Tell me that I don't want to see this person named Gu Wanqi appear in front of me."

Not this time, and not next time.

Gu Wanqi's road on Zhao Minglang's side was completely blocked.

It's fine if she's a famous star. She's a newcomer who has just debuted for a few days, and she can't see any potential for a big hit. No one wants to fight Zhao Minglang for such a trivial problem.

Undoubtedly, the other party would never care about temporarily replacing this small role, just to give Zhao Minglang a favor.

If there is no accident, Gu Wanqi's dreams and ambitions will come to an end here.

When returning home, Zhao Minglang was worried that Lin Xingyue's mood would be affected by the news, so he made a detour to buy a cake.

The last time they happened to pass by, Zhao Minglang still remembered the yearning eyes she showed.

I just hope that eating the cake will make her feel better.

When he opened the door, Zhao Minglang was still hesitating what to tell Lin Xingyue.

Being maliciously exposed by someone is different from announcing it by herself. She doesn't mind letting others know her feelings for Lin Xingyue, but she hates people using it as a talking point.

This is also a kind of harm to Lin Xingyue.

"Xingyue—"

Zhao Minglang put the cake on the cabinet in the entrance, and just as he yelled, Lin Xingyue ran out and rushed to her.

Because she was running too fast, she didn't stop the car and slammed directly into the door.

Zhao Minglang wanted to dodge, but he had no choice but to stop. He stretched out his hand to catch the person, acting as a cushion forcibly.

"Sister Minglang!" Lin Xingyue poked her head out of her arms, reached out and took out a leaflet, and looked at her with bright eyes, "I want to participate in this!"

Zhao Minglang rubbed his waist and helped Lin Xingyue up: "What?"

"When I went to work today, I saw the publicity posted outside. It was a knowledge contest for cooperation with public welfare projects. If I win, I can go to the mountains together."

Zhao Minglang put the cake on the dining table, took a look at the list, and finally figured out what was going on.

Recently, a local TV station and a non-profit organization jointly organized a competition program to encourage people of different ages and different walks of life to participate. The top three in the end will receive bonuses, and the program team will also donate the same amount of scholarships to poor mountainous areas in their names , and took them to visit the children in the mountains.

"You want to go to the mountains?"

"I want to go and see the children there." Lin Xingyue sat at the table and looked at Zhao Minglang with her chin propped up. "Maybe I will know what I want to do after seeing them."

"for how long?"

"The competition will take about a month, and you can go after the competition. I have called to inquire. If you go to the mountainous area, it will take about ten days. If it is longer, it will be half a month."

"It's a bit long." Zhao Minglang whispered to himself.

"What did you say?" Lin Xingyue didn't hear clearly.

"It's nothing, you can go if you want, but don't break your phone again, remember to call back on time." Zhao Minglang didn't doubt that Lin Xingyue would win, and became a little worried as he spoke, "I'll buy you a few more later. Have a cell phone ready."

"...Actually, generally speaking, I don't have such a waste phone." Lin Xingyue said in a low voice.

But Zhao Minglang insisted: "Just in case."

"……it is good."

Generally speaking, it is a supportive attitude.

Regardless of emotional factors, Zhao Minglang also hopes that Lin Xingyue can go out and see more. She lived too depressed in the first half of her life, standing in the center of the maze with excessive innocence, and no one can bring her out. Only she can make the decision.

After half a month, the game officially started.

Zhao Minglang had something to do temporarily, and Lin Xingyue repeatedly asked her to busy with her work, so she just sent people over before the start, and then went to pick them up after her work was over.

In the "family waiting area" outside the competition area, Zhao Minglang accidentally ran into an acquaintance.

"Zhao Minglang?"

The young man sitting on the other side looked Zhao Minglang back and forth several times, finally confirmed her identity, and came over to say hello.

Zhao Minglang was stunned when he saw him.

The man was wearing a white coat, wearing glasses, his hair was messed up as if he just got up from the bed, and he couldn't even see his face clearly.

However, the voice sounded familiar.

"I'm Yan Yi. I've only graduated for a few years and I don't even know my classmates?"

Zhao Minglang did remember this name.

She squinted her eyes and looked him up and down, and saw the words "Qingyun University" on his coat.

In the end, it was the vague smell of gunpowder on the other party's body that helped her confirm her identity.

Zhao Minglang was very impressed with this smell - it was the first time she encountered this smell when she grew up.

Speaking of which, this classmate Yan Yi is also a strange thing. He was a freshman classmate with Zhao Minglang for a year, but it is said that his true love is chemistry. He entered their major because of a mistake in the exam, and then changed his major directly.

However, he has a good personality, and he has been mingled with the classmates in the original class for a long time. Later, he still took some general education classes together, did not change the dormitory, and often came to class parties, so he could barely be regarded as a classmate.

After graduation, Zhao Minglang didn't have a close relationship with his college classmates, but he heard that the other party seemed to stay in school to continue his studies.

This was the first time we met again after graduation.

"Are you coming to the competition too?" Zhao Minglang asked.

"No, I don't have time." Yan Yi smiled wryly, "My girlfriend wants to participate and threatened me to watch the game, otherwise I will go back and kneel on the washboard."

"Then what are you doing sitting here?"

Zhao Minglang turned his head and glanced at the "family seats" around him, and there were only a few people sitting there, either they didn't catch up, or they were not interested, and they would rather sit here and wait.

"Isn't it because I overslept?" Yan Yi laughed dryly, "I ran over as soon as I woke up, but it's a pity that I missed the car. It's not that I couldn't get in because I was late."

Zhao Minglang cast a sympathetic glance at him.

Yan Yi scratched his messy hair, and asked curiously: "Then why are you here? This show is invested by your family?"

"That's not true." Zhao Minglang replied, "Wait for someone."

"Wait for who?"

"Family."

"..." Yan Yi was stunned for a moment, "Your parents also came to participate in the competition?"

"..." Zhao Minglang turned his head and glanced at him faintly, with a few large characters written on his face——

[Are you stupid]

"I remember that you seem to be an only child, are you a cousin?"

"...Isn't it okay to wait for someone?" Zhao Minglang squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.

"Ah?" Yan Yi looked more surprised than Zhao Minglang, and it took him a while to realize that he was being too obvious, "Sorry, sorry, I thought you wouldn't know how to find a partner, after all, everyone said you were lonely at that time... Cough cough, relatively high and cold, won't find a boyfriend or something."

The original words are such daunting descriptions as "a cold face at first glance", "looks like an out-of-world expert who has cut off all emotions and six desires", "looking down at all living beings are ants".

It's not that Zhao Minglang doesn't know how others describe her, he didn't care before, but now he's a little speechless.

In the past, she didn't want to get too close to people, and she thought that she would be lonely for the rest of her life. Although she didn't think there was anything wrong, she didn't expect that she would fall on someone she met for the first time.

It doesn't feel bad.

"It's a girlfriend." Zhao Minglang corrected.

"Ah?" Yan Yi was stunned for a moment, it seemed that this question was not as shocking as the premise of "Zhao Minglang has a partner", "Oh, I wish you happiness."

"Thank you." Zhao Minglang smiled politely.

She didn't want to talk more about her relationship problems with outsiders. She looked down at the time, guessing that it was almost over, and then looked towards the backstage exit.

After a while, people came out one after another.

Lin Xingyue was walking in the middle, held by a girl next to her. When she looked up and saw Zhao Minglang, her eyes lit up a little.

They walked out along the crowd, waved goodbye to each other and left one after another, leaving only these few who were looking for "family members".

Zhao Minglang couldn't help showing a smile when he saw someone, before he could speak, he heard the person next to him unexpectedly call out: "Sister primary school?"

The girl with Lin Xingyue on her arm walked over here.

Zhao Minglang originally thought that Yan Yi was calling her, but when he saw the girl approaching, he let go of his hand and quickly threw himself into Yan Yi's arms.

Yan Yi was almost knocked down.

This is obviously his girlfriend.

Lin Xingyue stared at Yan Yi for a while, as if she recognized someone: "It's you."

Yan Yi asked: "Why do you remember to participate in this competition?"

Lin Xingyue replied solemnly: "Experience life."

"I heard that you dropped out of school before, is it true?"

"It's just a temporary break from school."

Listening to their exchange of words and words, it seems that they are quite familiar, Zhao Minglang was stunned for a while: "Do you know each other?"

Thinking about it right away, Lin Xingyue is probably also a student of Qingyun University, and it is not impossible to know Yan Yi.

But she still felt that something was wrong.

Immediately afterwards, she heard Yan Yi and his girlfriend call "Sister Primary School".

Yan Yi's girlfriend was a little surprised by her reaction: "Don't you know Lin Xingyue's name? I remember she was quite famous back then."

"It's normal that Zhao Minglang doesn't know. She participated in club activities every day in her freshman year, and then went abroad for exchanges. She basically didn't go to the headquarters very much. When she came back, the primary school sisters had graduated and studied in graduate school." Yan Yi explained, "The two sides are far apart. , I have no chance of getting to know each other.”

In a daze, Zhao Minglang listened to Yan Yi and his girlfriend popularize Lin Xingyue's glorious history.

It is not enough to say that she is a famous figure in the school. After all, Lin Xingyue is low-key by nature. In addition to studying or studying, there is no room for entertainment in her daily life. Her relationship with her classmates is neither salty nor weak. who.

Only among the academic masters who are dedicated to academic career, Lin Xingyue's name is like a thunderbolt.

Leaving aside the strong background of the Lin family, Lin Xingyue herself has participated in various competitions since she was a child, and won trophies. She was 14 years old when she was admitted to university—most of her peers were still in junior high school, and as soon as she entered the school, she directly followed the main researcher. The old professor seems to be a legendary figure with a bright future.

Although there is a bonus from her family background, those grades are all obtained by her own test.

To ordinary people, he is already a god-like figure.

Zhao Minglang was a little dazed. After looking at Lin Xingyue for a long time, he couldn't find a way to match this innocent little girl with this "legendary".

Probably after witnessing the other party's dark and painful side, he first realized that the other party was just a mortal, even a little immature and fragile.

After all, it is the living and close people around her, who can no longer hold her on the altar.

Lin Xingyue didn't want such pressure at all.

Otherwise, it would not be possible to choose to leave school and run away from home under such a "bright future".

And Zhao Minglang is more concerned about another point: "In other words, we have actually been alumni for at least two years?"

Yan Yi corrected it: "It's three years."

I have been an alumni for three years, but I have never met——

Zhao Minglang never remembered that he had met a girl who smelled like milk on campus.

Should I sigh with emotion that their fate is really shallow?

Zhao Minglang was probably agitated, and on the way back he was still a little brooding, and couldn't help but mutter: "Why... I wish I had met earlier..."

The sooner you meet, the more time you can spend together.

It can also pull her out of the dark quagmire earlier.

The most regrettable are those missed moments.

Lin Xingyue felt exactly the opposite: "I think we are very destined."

"Why do you say that?"

"Look, you have already graduated, and you almost never go to the headquarters. You have been living in the west of the city, and I have been in the east of the city, and the circles have never intersected. We had completely missed it, but in the end you still met me."

Lin Xingyue clasped her fingers and listed the reasons, said with eyebrows frowned and a childish smile: "It's just like fate."

fate.

Zhao Minglang silently repeated this word, his eyes suddenly became clear, and he felt that his entanglement was really meaningless.

The fate between people is like this, there is never any "if".

It is an established fact that they met, so there is no need to assume scenes that they met earlier or never met.

Reunion is a gift from God, which makes people feel that it is worth waiting for so long.

If he had known that he could meet Lin Xingyue, Zhao Minglang would have spent the same amount of time waiting for her.

"That's right." Zhao Minglang smiled, "It means we are made for each other."
