After offending capital, my songs became more and more popular.

Chapter 258: Now for the main feature!

In late October, the season for trench coats, Shen Mingen has always preferred a neat and tidy style of dressing, so in all the "leaked photos" that could be found in the Chinese entertainment industry, no fans have ever seen him wearing a trench coat.

But today...

Shen Ming'en received a package containing a very nice gray men's trench coat and a men's scarf of excellent quality and feel.

Receiving gifts wasn't unusual for Shen Ming'en. After all, he was a top celebrity in the Chinese entertainment industry, and it was common for fans who somehow knew his address to send him gifts. But this one...

It seems to be one of those custom-made items.

So Shen Ming'en took a special look.

Luckily, he had paid special attention. Good heavens, it was evening, just as he finished work and returned to his apartment, his phone buzzed, and he received a message from Yao Shuli:

Did you receive the clothes?

"You mean the trench coat?" Shen Ming'en took a picture and sent it over, adding, "And a scarf too, you're so detail-oriented."

To be honest, Shen Ming'en is quite bold. You know, there must be thousands, if not tens of thousands, of people who have given him "gifts." He's only lucky to be staying with Feng Yucan, with Feng Yucan's assistant helping him sort through all those things. If he were living alone, he wouldn't be able to tell the difference between things he bought himself and things given to him by others.

What if this was a "gift" from a female fan, and he took a picture of it and sent it to Yao Shuli? Wouldn't that cause trouble?
The clothes are indeed nice, and the feel and materials are probably not bad either, but who says there aren't any "rich women" among our Hajime's fans?
The upright and dignified Hajime is at the peak of his popularity and good looks, and many people want to take him as a sugar daddy!
But perhaps it was a case of "telepathy," Shen Ming'en had a gut feeling that the clothes didn't seem to be a gift from a fan...

Yao Shuli was indeed very happy after seeing the photos. She was rushing to an event in Shanghai today and only noticed during her spare time that the clothes seemed to have been signed for, so she casually sent a message to ask about it.

"How is it? Does it look good?" she asked.

"Well……"

Shen Ming'en thought for a moment, then replied, "Do you want to see photos of me wearing this, or do you want me to go over there and show it to you?"

"what……"

Yao Shuli clearly hadn't considered the latter, after all, she was in Shanghai and Shen Mingen was in Beijing, more than a thousand kilometers apart. She didn't know how Shen Mingen could have misunderstood her, so she quickly replied:

"Just take a picture and let me see it."

She's a straight woman, so straight she's practically a jerk, she's totally boring, ugh!

Shen Mingen simply stopped replying, pretending to be busy, just to tease her a little, hehehe...

"Sister A-Li..."

Yao Shuli didn't know how Shen Mingen replied, because her assistant Nan Nan came to call her to go on stage, and she had to go about her own business.

This busy schedule...

It takes all day.

Yao Shuli has three events to attend today: two activities and a gala. The time is almost entirely filled with running around, touching up her makeup, and changing clothes. Normally, Yao Shuli would just close her eyes and rest during her free time, since she sometimes has to catch a flight at night and doesn't have enough time to rest.

But today...

Surprisingly...

For some reason, I just keep looking at my phone.

Assistant Nan Nan, Luo Luo, and the makeup artist occasionally managed to glimpse Yao Shuli's phone screen. It wasn't that they were peeking; the screen just looked so familiar.

That was a WeChat chat window with someone. The chat was stuck on those few lines, and then Yao Shuli kept refreshing it... refreshing it...

I exited the chat window and returned to the main interface, then clicked back in a short while later, and it started refreshing again.

This is a very typical example of "seemingly very busy"!
"...I didn't see anything, but why do I feel like I've been fed a mouthful of dog food?" Luo Luo couldn't help but complain: "That jerk, daring to leave our Sister A-Li hanging, he's really giving him a hard time!"

She's a goddess-level figure in the Chinese entertainment industry, and most people would reply to Yao Shuli's messages instantly. It's just that Hajime dared to leave her hanging from morning until afternoon.

"Shut your bird beak..."

Nan Nan couldn't help but defend Shen Ming'en, saying, "Teacher Ming'en is also very busy with work, he probably doesn't have time to watch."

"Pull your dick down!"
Lolo said, "Do you believe that someone doesn't reply to messages from morning to afternoon because they haven't checked their phone at all? Are there still people like that in the 21st century?"

"...Are you dating someone else?!"

Nan Nan couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but complain, "Didn't you see that Sister A Li didn't even react? But you're calling her that here..."

You're acting like someone like Teacher Ming'en would look down on you.

"Ber, you're resorting to personal attacks, aren't you? You byd&%￥#@*..."

Although the two were chattering away, even Luo Luo had to admit that Yao Shuli's face didn't seem to show much disappointment or anxiety about not getting a reply. Instead, there was a kind of... faint expectation.

Even when the makeup artist was applying her makeup, she specifically pointed to her cheeks and said, "Please apply more blush to my face."

Boys don't understand makeup, and they think that a little red is pretty. Yao Shuli had heard Shen Mingen say this before. Although Yao Shuli complained that too much red would look like a red bottom, Shen Mingen just inexplicably thought that Yao Shuli's red face looked good.

Look, a classic case of someone with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

At 8 PM, the event ended. It was unusually early to finish work today. Luo Luo suggested to Yao Shuli:

"Sister Li, let's go shopping? It's been so long since we've gone shopping..."

Yao Shuli seems quite depressed because she's always busy with work and has no time to play.

Nan Nan, standing to the side, bluntly exposed, "You're trying to get Sister A Li to pay for you, aren't you?"

Lolo: "(╬￣皿￣)"

You're so cruel, you're practically a monster!

Yao Shuli has always been very generous. Although she doesn't take her team out to play often, she usually pays the bill whenever they do. She is also known in the industry for being good to her own people.

Although she hardly buys anything when she goes out, and because she has to control her figure, she can't eat much outside, she is still happy to go out with everyone to relax.

Normally, even if Nan Nan exposes Luo Luo's lie, Yao Shuli will still smile and agree, but tonight...

“Go ahead,” she said, “Remember to keep the receipts; come back and I’ll reimburse you.”

"No, let's go together!"

This actually shows that Luo Luo is sincere towards Yao Shuli. Even though everyone said she was reimbursed, she still held Yao Shuli's arm, really wanting Yao Shuli to relax with her.

At this moment, Nan Nan was also a little curious. Although work had been busy lately, it was less hectic than before. Yao Shuli had also been getting more rest recently, and her mood seemed to be improving because of her relationship. But why was she...?

Instead, they've become increasingly "homebodies"?
The two men stared at Yao Shuli with puzzled looks, making her feel somewhat guilty...

Perhaps it was because she had applied too much blush today, but even when a blush of shyness appeared on Yao Shuli's fair and delicate face, it wasn't particularly noticeable.

Even so...

She suppressed her shyness and pointed to a man in a trench coat in a corner not far away, holding flowers and adjusting his pose every now and then, like he was acting, and said:
"I...I have an appointment." Upon hearing this, the two assistants were taken aback...

Following Yao Shuli's finger, they saw a man who looked like a lunatic, holding a bouquet of flowers. He would stand there whistling and pretending to be cool, then scratch his head and change his pose, crossing his arms over his chest with the flowers, as if he were acting or taking a photoshoot.

It was very dark at night, and they came out from the backstage entrance, which meant that the other party didn't seem to notice them for a moment.

Perhaps because they noticed their gazes, the latter was momentarily stunned, and then both of them were left in an awkward silence, unsure of what to say.

Social security...

Hajime found this scene utterly absurd!

So he silently covered his face, turned away, and pretended not to see them.

"puff……"

Nan Nan couldn't help but burst out laughing. Luo Luo, who was standing next to her, also didn't expect that Ming En, the dignified spokesperson for patriotic songs and known as the "Ming En Emperor" who was "at the height of his popularity" in the Chinese entertainment industry, would have such a funny moment.

Yao Shuli also lowered her head, her face flushed, trying her best to hold back her laughter.

"Since that's the case... then let's not be third wheels, okay?"

Nan Nan, with her keen sense of timing, pulled Luo Luo and a few staff members away. Before leaving, she gave Yao Shuli her bag and phone. They had already left, but then, for some reason, she came back...

At that time, Yao Shuli didn't know why she had come back, and then she heard Nan Nan whisper something in her ear:
"Sister Li, please take precautions."

After saying that, she winked at Yao Shuli, giving her a knowing look, and then turned and left.

"Safety...measures?"

At first, Yao Shuli didn't understand what she was saying. After a brief moment of stunned silence...

That fair and delicate face began to turn scalding hot, as if boiling water had been poured into it!
What are you talking about?!

No erotic content allowed!

To be honest, Yao Shuli hadn't really thought about it that way before her assistant mentioned it, but after her assistant said that...

Yao Shuli immediately felt that something seemed a little off.

Although this wasn't the first time Shen Mingen had picked her up from get off work, back when she was on "Chinese Music Awards" in Chongqing, Shen Mingen had also visited her for a few days. But at that time, they weren't as close as they are now, and they weren't in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.

But now...

It's clear that their relationship has progressed more than one step.

It must have been quite an ordeal for Shen Mingen to fly all the way from Beijing so late at night; he must have been traveling non-stop along the way.

Although Yao Shuli had roughly guessed his intentions for coming, she was still very happy to see him...

Therefore, after a brief moment of deliberation, as if she had made up her mind, she pursed her lips, then tidied her clothes and bag before walking towards Shen Ming'en.

At this moment, Haji was still ashamed of the "social humiliation" incident. Therefore, even though he knew Yao Shuli was coming, he did not respond to her immediately. Instead, he covered his face, turned his head to the side, and pretended to be saying, "Don't look at me, you don't know me."

"Pfft..."

Seeing him like this, Yao Shuli was amused and couldn't help but say:
"If you don't say anything, I'm leaving?"

"oops……"

Shen Ming'en scratched his head helplessly, then stopped pretending and handed the flowers in his hand to Yao Shuli.

"Here, this is for you..." he said. "I had all this planned out, I was even thinking of having a little romantic drama..."

Singing "Waiting for You After Class," just like in Chongqing, was quite romantic. This time...

Let's not even talk about it!
Yao Shuli giggled at his joke, and while accepting the flowers, she asked, "You just came like that? It's over a thousand kilometers away..."

"Mmm~" Shen Ming'en said proudly, "How about it? Touched? Don't you just want to repay him with your body right now?"

He was just joking when he said it...

Under normal circumstances, Yao Shuli would definitely not have thought much of it.

But didn't her assistant Nan Nan give her a "hint" before leaving?

This immediately reminded Yao Shuli of some unspeakable things...

For a moment, her face flushed red, and she dared not meet Shen Ming'en's gaze. She quickly changed the subject, saying:

"Let's go, let's find a place to rest properly."

Actually, Yao Shuli originally wanted to say that if Shen Mingen had decided to come at the last minute in the morning, then from booking the plane ticket to packing, going to the airport, and then coming here, he probably wouldn't have stopped at all on the way...

I felt sorry for him and was afraid he would get tired, so I planned to let him find a place to rest and have a meal or something.

But saying this out loud...

Yao Shuli regretted it!
The intestines are all regretful!

Why?

Because what I'm saying... doesn't sound quite right!
What the hell does "find a place to rest" mean?!

They just told you to "repay them with your body," and you immediately say you need to "find a place to rest." What? Are you going straight to a hotel?
Are all the intermediate steps omitted, and we go straight to the "main part"?
6!

The darkness of night couldn't hide the blush on Yao Shuli's face. To be honest, at that moment, the female celebrity really had the urge to find a crack in the ground to crawl into...

So you thought Shen Mingen was the only one socializing tonight?
No!

Yao Shuli said, "If you start a group buy, I'll join immediately!"

"Ah... ah?"

Although Shen Ming'en has some straight male genes, he is not stupid!

Upon hearing this, the expression on Old Six's face could be summed up in one sentence:

"Is this for real?!"

The pure-hearted guy, Hajime, flew over 1,200 kilometers that day. He really didn't think about anything else at first; he just wanted to see how his long-distance girlfriend was doing.

The result was unexpected...

Did they really make a killing this time?
So, should we really skip these general steps and jump straight into the main content?
