Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 388 Shu Chang: Absence Makes the Hearts Feel Better!

Actually, according to Gu Bei's original plan, he wanted to give Liu Yifei an even bigger surprise.

It's likely that he had been chatting with Liu Yifei for a while when he suddenly asked her to turn around, or perhaps Liu Yifei accidentally discovered him.

However, Gu Bei overlooked one thing.

The two are now only five meters apart.
He could even clearly see Liu Yifei's cheeks, slightly red from the cold wind, as she answered the phone.

It's estimated that Liu Yifei could detect the 'echo' in the phone call after only a couple of sentences.

"what?"

Liu Yifei was slightly stunned when she heard this.

She couldn't understand what Gu Bei meant by 'turning back' for a moment.

"What's wrong, Sisi?"

Shu Chang asked curiously from the side.

She naturally knew that the ringtone represented Gu Bei.

But usually, this young couple would get all lovey-dovey after just a few words, making it impossible for her to stay nearby.

Why does it seem like something happened today?
"Gu Bei told me to turn around..."

After repeating it once, Liu Yifei felt a sense of unease.

She suddenly turned her head and immediately saw Gu Bei right behind her.

Gu Bei had a faint smile on his face, holding his phone in one hand and waving to Liu Yifei with the other.

"Gu Bei!"

Liu Yifei exclaimed.

Like a swallow returning to its nest, she crashed directly into Gu Bei's arms.

"Ok!"

Gu Bei grunted.

He could feel Liu Yifei's deep love.
In a physical sense,

The force of her charge was truly considerable.
However, Gu Bei did the same thing as Liu Yifei, and couldn't help but tighten his hug around her. After not seeing her for several months, he really felt afraid that she would leave again, and had an urge to pull her into his arms.

Why did Gu Bei suddenly come back?
Liu Yifei also had a slight doubt in her heart.
She could only feel the strength of Gu Bei's embrace.
This kind of logical rationality has now been completely disregarded.

At this moment, she simply inhaled the familiar scent emanating from Gu Bei, allowing her heart, which had been pounding with excitement, to slowly calm down.

"What!"

Gu Bei felt Liu Yifei's body falling downwards.

He lifted Liu Yifei by the waist.

They lifted her slightly slumped body up.

Although this is related to the way Liu Yifei was clinging to him.

But Gu Bei couldn't help but tease, "A little... ouch!"

Before Gu Bei could finish speaking,

Liu Yifei was weighing herself when he did that.
They had already guessed what Gu Bei was going to say.

then,

She used her hands to lift her body up a bit.
Then she gently bit Gu Bei's earlobe with her silver teeth.

After hearing Gu Bei gasp in shock
She then stepped back with a smile, a smug look playing on her lips as she stared into Gu Bei's eyes: "What were you trying to say?"

Girl, you're getting a bit wild these days!
I used to bite my shoulder blades.

Now bite your earlobe,

I don't even want to think about what else they'll bite next.

Just as the two were looking at each other,
Shu Chang had just walked over from her original spot when she saw Liu Yifei biting Gu Bei's earlobe.
She immediately turned her head: "Hey...you two be careful, even though this is a residential area, it's still outside!"

Shu Chang felt a little heartbroken.

She had heard that Liu Yifei was going to film a movie this year and stay in Kyoto like last year, so she chose to come and accompany Liu Yifei and her daughter, just like last year.

Unexpectedly, Gu Bei pulled off such a big surprise this year, abandoning everything in North America and flying straight back to China.

Now my best friend's kiss has turned her into a third wheel.

Most importantly, it's one thing for the two of them to not hide from her, but this is happening in broad daylight!

What should I do? I really want to peek!

"No~"

Liu Yifei shoved Gu Bei's shoulder, glared at him fiercely, and tried to get off him.

Although she is still a little embarrassed.
But compared to two years ago, when the two would blush when seen together,

Now she can more easily show her intimacy with Gu Bei in front of others.

What a scumbag! She hugged me and then tried to run away!

While Liu Yifei was downstairs, Gu Bei leaned in and pecked her rosy lips hard, as revenge for the bite she had just given him.

The weather in Kyoto right now isn't unbearably cold, but it's definitely not warm outdoors either.

Gu Bei felt the kiss, and there was a slightly icy sensation, which was a completely new experience.

Especially when he saw Liu Yifei's beautiful phoenix eyes, with a hint of annoyance in them, giving him a coquettish and charming glare, he felt as refreshed as if he had eaten an ice pop on a hot summer day.

But... the two of them really didn't treat Shu Chang, who was standing next to them, like a human being!

When Shu Chang heard Liu Yifei's explanation, she wondered if she had misread the two of them.
After all, Gu Bei and Liu Yifei usually project an image of rationality. How could two people with such calm personalities clash like Mars colliding with Earth when they meet?
I must have seen it wrong!

Subsequently,

She turned her head and saw Gu Bei kissing Liu Yifei, right in her face.

Instantly, Shu Chang turned her head, her face flushed red, and exclaimed, "Eh...you guys! You guys!"

Scored twice!

Shu Chang felt like she was being bombarded with dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
The New Year's Eve dinner isn't even ready yet.
But clearly, I can't eat a single bite right now!
"Singing, I really won't be coming back!"

Liu Yifei quickly pulled Shu Chang aside and comforted her for a while.

She glanced at Gu Bei casually, as if to say, 'It's all your fault for making Changchang shy.'

However, seeing the smug look on Gu Bei's lips, she clearly had no idea that she was wrong.

I comforted them for quite a while.

Liu Yifei and Shu Changcai finally calmed down.

Gu Bei also took the gifts from the car to pay his respects, let the car leave first, and then the three of them walked together toward Liu Yifei's mansion in Kyoto.

"Why did you suddenly come back from North America? Isn't the Oscar nominees' luncheon in two days?" Liu Yifei suddenly remembered and asked Gu Bei about his purpose in returning to China.

"its me……"

Gu Bei thought about it,
He casually remarked, "The nominees' luncheon is really just like that. It's not like the Oscar judges won't vote for me just because I didn't attend the nominees' luncheon or take a photo with the nominees, right?"

Moreover, I had already been there the previous two years, and this year's Oscars were postponed due to the Winter Olympics, which gave me ample time to return home.

After a pause,

Gu Bei casually offered another reason: "The most crucial thing is that I've noticed La La Land is really riding high lately. Not only has La La Land gathered all three major trendsetters, but now that the Oscar nominations are out, La La Land has fourteen nominations, tying Titanic for the title."
However, La La Land clearly doesn't have the same status as Titanic in the romance genre. Too much rigidity leads to breakage, and if I continue to focus on excessive public relations in North America, it will obviously provoke the resentment of many Oscar judges.

So instead of staying in North America doing meaningless things, it's better to let things cool down for a while, go back to China for some peace and quiet, and avoid the limelight.

"That's amazing, boss!"

Shu Chang nodded repeatedly when she heard Gu Bei's reasoning.

She felt that what Gu Bei said made perfect sense.

The boss is indeed the boss, and Director Gu is indeed Director Gu.

As expected, their grasp of the subtle nuances of human nature is so precise!
"..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei remained silent for a moment.

Seeing how much Shu Chang trusted Gu Bei, she really couldn't bear to expose him.

From the very first tone of Gu Bei's voice, she knew that not a single word he said was true, because she knew Gu Bei all too well.

Finally, Liu Yifei patted Gu Bei's arm: "Seriously!"

Is it the truth?

Gu Bei stopped in his tracks.

He looked down at Liu Yifei with a smile and said softly, "I missed you!"

This time it's the truth!
Liu Yifei felt as if her heart was soaking in a honey pot, filled with sweetness.

Especially when gazing into Gu Bei's eyes against the bleak backdrop, it felt as joyful as winter turning to spring.

If Shu Chang weren't still by her side, she really would have wanted to rush over again. After all, the two of them hadn't seen each other for months, and the hug they had just shared was definitely not enough.

Wait a minute... Changchang is still here!
Liu Yifei immediately turned to look at Shu Chang.

Shu Chang looked pained and said, "Ugh... you two, that's enough! Stop showing off your love in front of me, I've had enough of this dog food!"

It's just such a short distance within the neighborhood.
She was tortured by the two of them three times.

If only I had known sooner...
She should have quietly gone back alone the moment the two met.

"Sing a song..."

Liu Yifei also showed a hint of embarrassment.

Showing affection in public is not a problem.
The problem is that she promised Shuchang twice that she wouldn't mistreat her.

In the end, he still broke the agreement twice.

"I don't listen, I don't listen..."

Shu Chang covered her ears and ran forward.

Liu Yifei quickly chased after her.

Gu Bei, carrying the gifts, watched the two of them playfully bickering from behind. Seeing Liu Yifei's lively demeanor made even the bleak winter scenery of Kyoto come alive.

After a while,
Shu Chang was once again appeased by Liu Yifei.
She walked back and asked Gu Bei curiously, "Boss, I've taken the company's boss's wife hostage. I'm here to let you know that I'm going to find someone to date too, and you can't stop me!"

Let's talk!

Gu Bei said lightly.

He hadn't paid much attention to Shu Chang's scandals, only remembering that she dated a wealthy businessman for several years without success. After the breakup, coupled with her career setbacks, she seemed to have undergone plastic surgery when she reappeared.

However, logically speaking, Shu Chang is already 22 years old now, and she should have already been in a relationship by now.

It's also possible that after joining Linlang Entertainment, the resources there were so good that Shu Chang was too busy with work and didn't have time to date.

"Is it really possible?"

Shu Chang was somewhat surprised.

Shouldn't entertainment companies do everything they can to prevent their artists from dating?
Especially since she is a female artist, the absence of scandals is more in the company's best interest.

"No problem, I personally selected him!"

Gu Bei nodded decisively.

The entertainment industry in China today has not yet degenerated to the level of its later decline.

A celebrity's romantic relationship can potentially impact their commercial value.

But when they reach a certain age, those who are meant to date will still date, and those who are meant to get married will still get married.
Unlike back then, there are very few marriages in the industry that can last. If they divorce, the marketing heroine remains single; if they don't divorce, the marketing heroine is in control of herself.

Moreover, given Shu Chang's intention to get plastic surgery in the future, she probably won't be able to truly understand herself and her relationships unless she has several romantic relationships.

He looked at the surprised Shu Chang and knew that Shu Chang, who had grown up under someone else's roof, was observing his true intentions.

So he said with a smile, "The main problem is that your artist department is really too insignificant. The revenue contribution can't even be listed separately in the financial statements. Let's talk about the losses to the company when you grow to the level of the 'Four Dan and Two Bing'!"

Shu Chang was furious. The truth was like a sharp knife, and it hurt her deeply!

Although Gu Bei's words were harsh, they made it clear to her that he was serious.

After all, the number of artists at Linlang Entertainment is only a handful, which is really insignificant compared to the box office success of "The Message" (500 million), "Bodyguards and Assassins" (300 million), and "Perfect Match" (100 million).

The three of them chatted until they arrived at Liu Yifei's home.

"Gu Bei, you're back in China!"

Liu Xiaoli was also pleasantly surprised to see Gu Bei appear.

"Yes, Aunt Liu, Happy New Year!"

Gu Bei smiled and put down the gift, then helped Liu Xiaoli with her work.

The four of them shared a New Year's Eve dinner, chatting and eating as they passed the eve of the Lunar New Year.

As dawn approached,
Gu Bei stood up to say goodbye.

Although Liu Yifei's home has enough room.
But with Liu Yifei and her daughter, plus Shu Chang, it's still not ideal for Gu Bei to live here.

At the door,
Liu Yifei looked at Gu Bei with some reluctance: "Can you not leave?"

As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

The two have been separated for several months, and they've only spent half a day together now. How could that be enough?

When Gu Bei saw Liu Yifei's watery eyes, he immediately realized that it was absolutely the right decision not to let her stay overnight, otherwise it would be bad if something awkward happened.

He patted Liu Yifei's head: "Tomorrow, it's Valentine's Day, I'll take you to see Kyoto when it's finally quiet after the New Year!"

"it is good!"

Liu Yifei nodded repeatedly.

Subsequently,

She glanced behind her and vaguely saw Liu Xiaoli's gaze fixed upon her.

Then, a sly glint flashed in her eyes, and she stood on tiptoe to hug Gu Bei's neck, whispering in his ear, "Give me the room key, I'll come over myself tomorrow morning."

Gu Bei's heart stirred.
This really makes absence make the heart grow fonder!
He put the room key into Liu Yifei's pocket as she instructed, and the two continued to whisper sweet nothings to each other for a while, neither willing to leave.

at this time,

Midnight has arrived.
In 2010, Kyoto did not yet have a city-wide ban on fireworks.
The moment we arrived on the first day of the lunar new year, countless fireworks shot into the sky, turning the entire sky into a colorful spectacle.

And beneath this clamor...

Liu Yifei stood on tiptoe and took the initiative to kiss him.
