“Why are you blushing?” Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes and said, “What are you thinking about?”
Yan Su felt utterly embarrassed. She glared at Jiaojiao and said, “I’m just thinking about how to make the music creative and pleasant to the ears at the same time. Don’t forget that someone will be eliminated in the new episode.”
Jiaojiao tittered. She, of course, didn’t believe Yan Su.
She stood up, walked to the door and said, “When I first started my career, I spent a while doing odds and ends in Huachen, then I came here and became your assistant. A makeup artist in Huachen is my good friend. She’s working for Yang Ziqian now. I’ve asked her about Mo Liuxi…”
Yan Su stopped short and unwittingly turned to look at Jiaojiao.
Jiaojiao smiled and said, “It’s said that Mo Liuxi was rather popular in the film crew because he’s talented and good-looking. Many young actresses wanted to be friends with him. Some even knocked on his door in the middle of the night. However, when he wasn’t working, he rarely even looked at those girls. There were quite some pretty girls in the film crew…”
“Oh…” Yan Su responded to Jiaojiao with a low voice.
“I’ll try to find out more about him for you.” Jiaojiao made a face and left.
Yan Su looked at her guitar and strummed the strings. The music sounded happier than before.
…
In December, Yan Su filmed the newest episode of the show and then flew to Beijing.
Before boarding, she got a call from Jiang Peiying. “Your father is in Beijing this week, taking part in the filming of the newest episode of the show called Millennium Culture History. He brought Yan Jin there too. Go and spend some time with Yan Jin if and when you are free. He told me that he’s so bored in Beijing.”
“Daddy is doing so well now.” Yan Su was surprised. “He’s even making a show in Beijing.”
“He’s just an old man. They invited him because he has some knowledge and experience.” Jiang Peiying chuckled and said, “He insisted on bringing Yan Jin with him because he wants the boy to ‘see the world’. I really don’t understand that. Jin is still a little boy.”
“Dad just wants to exercise him.” Yan Su was very happy to see Yan Jin. During the six months that she spent together with the little boy, she found him so adorable and warm. Before she left home, Yan Jin cried so sadly. And when she was away from home, he often video called her.
“Sadly, Yan Yan isn’t with them.”
“She’s still too young to travel,” Jiang Peiying said. “But she’s grown prettier than before. Her skin is fair now. She really looks like a jade statue, even more beautiful than you in your babyhood.”
“Su, this random guy you picked is clearly a good-looking one. I’m surprised that you managed to pick a pretty boy even when you were drunk. You obviously can’t resist handsome boys. Be careful though. Don’t let those pretty boys from the entertainment circle fool you…”
“Eh… mom, I’m getting on my plane. Bye.” As her mother’s lecture was about to start again, Yan Su hurriedly found an excuse to end the call.
Many people in the country had been paying attention to the new film that had won the Golden Lion in Venice. By the time Yan Su arrived at the exhibition center, Ji Nuanyi, Cheng Sheng, Mo Liuxi and the others were already there. They were sitting in the first row, and behind them, were the media and fans.
Yan Su bent over and walked through the crowd. Some fans in the back suddenly burst into screams.
“Yan Su! Yan Su! We love you! We will always love you!”
Yan Su gave a start. That was the first public activity that she took part in, in the current month. She didn’t know that she had so many fans now.
She walked to the crew and found Mo Liuxi sitting on the side. She hadn’t seen him for a while. The weather had become cold. He was wearing a plaid coat and a scarf, looking gentle and elegant, even though he was just sitting there without doing anything.
