Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 265, Section 264: Xiaotian: You can only be with me! (5K)

Didn't you sleep well last night?

Zhou Ye arrived at the scene after putting on makeup in the morning.

One of the actresses traveling with her noticed that she didn't seem as well as she had a few days ago, so she casually asked her about it.

"Ha ha……"

Zhou Ye chuckled twice.

Why are you feeling unwell?
You shouldn't ask her, you should ask Lin Shaobai!

"I saw some gossip online the other day, saying you're going to participate in a room escape game?" the actress asked curiously.

Zhou Ye nodded: "Yes."

"My goodness, you can even be on that show?"

Is there anything wrong with this show being on?

Zhou Ye was puzzled.

"Oh, no, I mean that show is terrifying. As a viewer, sometimes watching those scenes makes my legs go weak. You..."

The actress thought that Zhou Ye was just a young girl in her early twenties. Wouldn't she be so scared that she would kneel down the whole time if she went on that kind of variety show?

His lifelong reputation was ruined by this kind of terrifying variety show.

"Oh, so you were worried about me, afraid I'd cry myself to death inside, wasn't that right?"

Zhou Ye extended his index finger and tapped the actress's cheek across from him.

"Yeah, that show is really scary. A lot of people are so scared that they cry. You're still a regular cast member."

"It's okay. If I were really scared to death, I wouldn't have gone. I must have thought about it for a very long time before deciding. Thank you for worrying about me."

After Zhou Ye finished speaking, his eyes curved down, and he smiled beautifully.

"Ready! Ready!"

Staff members started shouting in the distance, and Zhou Ye quickly ran over to prepare for filming.

……

New Year's Eve arrived quickly.

Four rehearsals for the Spring Festival Gala had already been held before the day of the live broadcast finally arrived.

That evening, fine snowflakes drifted across the capital, and red lanterns swayed gently in the cold wind.

More than 20 screens in the control room lit up simultaneously, and the lighting crew, camera crew, and other staff were extremely busy.

Lin Shaobai sat backstage at the Spring Festival Gala, being interviewed by the host before the gala officially began.

A short while later, Tian Xiwei, wearing a red cheongsam, walked over. She had just finished recording New Year's greetings at a certain place.

The two are big names, which is why they were invited to perform on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala.

There is no doubt about Tian Xiwei's beauty today.

She had a smooth, oval face and almond-shaped eyes that held two pools of clear water.

Anyone who sees her for the first time will always be drawn to her bright, sparkling eyes.

Tian Xiwei only appeared in Lin Shaobai's sight for one second before disappearing into the bustling crowd.

Lin Shaobai subconsciously searched for a few more times, but gave up when he realized he couldn't find it.

Yang Zi also appeared on the Spring Festival Gala with him this year.

Yang Zi naturally sat down next to Lin Shaobai.

"Happy New Year, Teacher Lin!"

She smiled.

"Happy New Year!" Lin Shaobai also sent his New Year's greetings.

Where are you planning to spend Chinese New Year this year?

"go home."

"Oh, I see. Hey, I saw Xiaotian a while ago, how come he's gone now?"

"I saw it too, but there were so many people that you couldn't see anyone after a while."

"Oh! You actually brought her up on your own initiative." Yang Zi's tone suddenly shifted, with a hint of deliberate provocation.

Lin Shaobai turned his head and noticed a hint of gossip in her eyes.

"Why are you looking at me like that? It'll give me nightmares."

"Lin Shaobai, Lin Shaobai, after all these years, your mouth hasn't changed at all! I can barely forgive you for praising me as a beautiful woman!"

"..."

"Should I praise you or not!"

"Okay, you're a great beauty."

When Lin Shaobai was filming on set, Yang Zi kept pulling him aside and asking him every day if he was a great beauty.
Sigh, I can't believe that after all these years, she's still the same.

"Sigh, time really flies, another Spring Festival is here."

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Yang Zi changed the subject and suddenly sighed about the passage of time.

"Yes."

Lin Shaobai thought about how his company was doing better and better.

The only headache is still Xiaotian's situation.

So what should we do?

People's thoughts don't change easily.

Besides, she's already in her twenties, and it's unrealistic to expect her to change that mindset so easily.

"Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore."

Yang Zi saw an acquaintance in the distance and ran over to him in a flash.

Lin Shaobai looked up, and Xiao Tian inadvertently came into his line of sight.

Tian Xiwei quietly watched Lin Shaobai sitting in the distance without saying a word, and her face didn't show much expression.

Lin Shaobai thought the two of them would just stare at each other expressionlessly, but after a dozen seconds, Xiaotian took the initiative to walk towards him.

"Long time no see, Teacher Lin."

"Ah...yes. Actually, it hasn't been that long, right? Didn't we just see each other at the rehearsal?"

"Cough cough!"

Tian Xiwei originally wanted to create a deliberately ruthless storyline, but Lin Shaobai saw through her plan with a single sentence!
Who are they? At least cooperate a little.

"I... cough cough! The previous ones don't count!"

"Ah."

Lin Shaobai raised an eyebrow slightly, wanting to see what he wanted to say to Xiaotian.
"On this New Year's Eve... I wish you..." Tian Xi paused for a moment before continuing, "Happy New Year. Don't misunderstand! I say this to everyone!"

Lin Shaobai immediately stood up.

Tian Xiwei subconsciously took a step back: "Why did you suddenly stand up and scare me?"

"When did you become so timid?"

"cut."

Happy New Year to you too. I hope you become more and more beautiful.

"Um. No, don't think that's all..."

Just as Tian Xiwei was about to say, "Don't think you can solve this," several staff members happened to pass by, so she had to swallow her words.

Ugh! It's Chinese New Year!

Let's not talk about these annoying things anymore.

"I hope Tian Xiwei will be happier and more joyful in the new year."

Just before going on stage, Tian Xiwei seemed to hear a sentence reach her ears.

I don't know if I misheard, because the noise at the scene was so loud it made my ears spin.

Could it be an auditory hallucination?

Tian Xiwei looked back and found that Lin Shaobai had already sat back in his original seat.

"I guess I heard it wrong."

Tian Xi shook her head slightly.

A dozen minutes later, the Spring Festival Gala live broadcast started on time.

Wang Churan and her family sat in front of the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

Seeing some familiar popular celebrities singing and performing on stage, her family couldn't help but ask, "Chuchu, when do you think you'll get to perform on the Spring Festival Gala?"

"My God! Mom, you really have high hopes for your daughter. I can't believe I'm on the Spring Festival Gala! Those are all super famous stars. I'm just a nobody."

"You're a nobody, yet you can play the female lead in a TV series?"

"I owe the role of the female lead in this drama to Lin Shaobai. Without Lin Shaobai, how could I have become the female lead in that drama?"

Wang Churan said while peeling a kumquat.

"I don't care, just try appearing on the Spring Festival Gala once."

"How can you be so unreasonable?!"

Wang Churan was helpless.

Singing a song at a small local TV gala is okay, but this is the Spring Festival Gala!
We weren't invited at all!
I guess only people of Lin Shaobai's stature get invited so often.

Zhang Jingyi stayed at home and obediently ate with her mother.

The mother only smiled when Lin Shaobai appeared.

"Mom?" Zhang Jingyi followed her mother's gaze and saw Lin Shaobai's face on the TV.

When Xiao Zhang saw the person he liked appear, he subconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.

"Is this your classmate?"

"Yes."

"He's really impressive now; Aunt Wang from next door is chasing after him every day."

"Oh? Aunt Wang likes Lin Shaobai."

Zhang Jingyi was slightly shocked.

That's a middle-aged woman.

Well, that's normal. Lin Shaobai is the type who appeals to men, women, young and old alike.

"Yes, so what about Xiao Zhang?"

"yes?"

Zhang Jingyi's eyes widened.

How did the conversation turn into talking about ourselves?

"Is it still stable?"

"Uh... um."

Zhang Jingyi is a shy person, and being asked questions so bluntly by her family only makes her more embarrassed.

"When will you bring it back—"

"mom!"

Zhang Jingyi could easily guess what her mother was about to say.

When are you going to bring him home to visit? It's the Lunar New Year, and you're not even bringing him home to see his family.

Aren't they boyfriend and girlfriend?
Since they're boyfriend and girlfriend, they should meet each other's parents, right?

This is exactly what Zhang Jingyi was thinking of!

I quickly interrupted and added a lot of food to my mom's plate, trying to shut her up.

"Mom, eat more, or shall we watch TV?"

"..." "I think the food today is really delicious. Let's go out and watch the fireworks later."

"..."

The elderly mother understood her daughter's thoughts and said no more.

Instead of staying home to watch the Spring Festival Gala, Liu Haocun sat with friends in a coffee shop.

My friend scrolled through his phone for a while and couldn't resist opening the app to watch the Spring Festival Gala live.

"I looked at this year's Spring Festival Gala program, and I'm actually quite looking forward to that skit. What about you?"

Liu Haocun covered his face with his hands and looked out the window.

She wasn't wearing any makeup tonight; her face was clean and bare.

"I only look forward to Lin Shaobai's works."

After a while, she muttered to herself.

"Now that you've brought this up, I'd like to ask you something. I heard you and Lin Shaobai have become friends?"

My friend turned off his phone, a gossipy look on his face.

Liu Haocun chuckled: "Yes, we've indeed become friends. I'm fast, aren't I?"

She raised her face, a strange sense of pride creeping into her expression.

Lin Shaobai is currently a top-tier celebrity, and it's something to be proud of to be friends with him in the entertainment industry.

"I have a feeling you don't want to just be friends."

Bingo!

Liu Haocun snapped his fingers nimbly.

"Huh? Cunzi, is that really what you think?"

Liu Haocun stopped smiling and continued to lean on his hand, gazing out the window.

The snow fell little by little, calming people's hearts once again.

"I really like him."

"There are plenty of people who like him, surely—"

“I really like him. I always feel very comfortable with him. He is much more famous than me, but I just feel inexplicably at ease when I'm with him. We met abroad before, and I think that was the beginning of our destiny.”

"Didn't you know he had a girlfriend?"

"what?"

"Wow, you're really using 2G network."

"No, I don't recall any reports revealing that he has a girlfriend," Liu Haocun said honestly.

The media has not reported on Lin Shaobai having any girlfriend, but some gossip media outlets have been subtly discussing it using abbreviations.

"He's looking for a partner with Xiaotian."

"Tian Xiwei??"

Liu Haocun was dumbfounded.

No way?
Didn't everyone just like their pairing? How did it actually become a reality?
"I don't know the specifics, but I saw it under a blogger's post who talks about gossip in the entertainment industry. It said they're in a cold war phase right now, and they've been on and off for a long time."

"..."

"However, some media outlets say he is in talks with Zhou Ye. So it's unclear who he's actually talking to."

Liu Haocun found these two sentences quite infuriating.

She rubbed her head, feeling overwhelmed by the amount of information she was receiving.

Her friend, sitting opposite her, looked at her with pity.

Despite all the planning, no one expected that Cunzi would want to date Lin Shaobai.

"It doesn't matter!"

After a while, Liu Haocun seemed to have made up his mind: "As long as I can date someone like him, I don't care about anything else!"

"...Why does that sound weird?"

"Alright, let's leave this topic here. It's New Year's Eve, so let's talk about something festive!"

……

The Spring Festival Gala programs proceeded smoothly one after another, and each program generated a trending topic on social media.

Lin Shaobai's skit even reached the level of being a "viral hit," and the ratings at that moment also reached their peak.

That's how powerful the influence of top celebrities is.

After the skit ended, Lin Shaobai prepared to return to the dressing room to tidy up and leave.

A short while later, there was a knock on the door of the lounge.

Thinking it was Assistant Xiao Zhao, I said without turning my head, "Come in."

Then came the creaking sound of a door opening.

As the footsteps grew closer, Lin Shaobai sensed something was amiss and abruptly turned around, nearly bumping into the approaching Tian Daxia.

"What are you doing? You almost bumped into me!"

Tian Xi took a step back, casually adopting a "Wing Chun" posture.

There are only the two of them in the room right now; they're probably just messing around.

"Why are you here?"

"I'm coming to find you."

Tian Xiwei put away her strange, fight-ready posture and resumed the demeanor befitting a big star.

"Find me."

"Of course I'm looking for you! We haven't settled things yet!"

"Xiao Tian..."

"Shaobai, I'll say it again: you can only be with me. You can only have me by your side."

So many days have passed, and Xiaotian's thoughts have not changed in the slightest.

"I've already said, I won't let any of you go—"

"Again."

Tian Xiwei interrupted Lin Shaobai directly.

"That same line again, don't you get tired of it?"

"..."

After a few seconds of excitement, Tian Xi's heart sank again, and she turned away with a slightly disappointed look: "I just want to be with you, is that so hard?"

"Mr. Lin!"

Assistant Xiao Zhao pushed open the door and stumbled upon this awkward scene between the two.

Without saying a word, Tian Xiwei picked up her bag and left the room, not wanting to recall the somewhat surprised and gossipy look in her assistant Xiao Zhao's eyes.

"Mr. Lin..."

"fine."

Lin Shaobai originally wanted to say that he could give Xiaotian anything she wanted, except for this matter.

As it turned out, Oda said first that she only wanted the two of them to be together.

Yes, Tian Xiwei had only this one wish from beginning to end.

After leaving the TV station, Tian Xiwei got into the car and remained silent the whole way.

The snow felt colder than usual as it fell on my face.

After getting into the car, her assistant noticed that she wasn't in a good mood and took out a New Year's gift that she had prepared earlier: "Sister, Happy New Year."

Tian Xiwei didn't think too much about it. She glanced at the gift and put it in her bag: "Thank you, and I wish you a Happy New Year. Did you all receive the gifts I sent you?"

Xiaotian is very kind to the team members and often gives them things.

"Of course, thank you, sis."

"Okay. You don't need to spend money to buy me these things next time."

"Uh……"

The assistant was clearly preoccupied, as if trying to hide something.

Tian Xiwei could tell, but she was too preoccupied with too many worries right now and didn't want to think about it in detail.

After returning to her upscale apartment complex, Tian Xiwei finally understood why her assistant had been acting so awkwardly earlier.
It turns out that this New Year's gift wasn't from the assistant, but from Lin Shaobai.

Tian Xiwei opened the box and found a small card inside. The handwriting on it was clearly Lin Shaobai's.

There were no extra sweet words, just four simple characters.

【Happy New Year】.

Inside the box was a sky-blue gemstone necklace.

Tian Xiwei covered her face with both hands, her cheeks puffed up like little goldfish.

She looked down at the necklace in the box, her feelings very complicated.

She recalled how Lin Shaobai used to give her birthday gifts all the time, including food, clothes, and other necessities.

After my last purchase of a large quantity of items was returned, I arranged for my assistant to deliver the items this time.

Tian Xiwei raised her head and sighed deeply.

"This person..."

The assistant has already left, so it's unrealistic to expect her to return it immediately.

This time, Oda still didn't intend to accept the gift.

Solving problems is solving problems; these things cannot resolve the conflict between two people.

Or should we find those people and make them leave Lin Shaobai one by one?
This task is way too difficult... It's like hell mode.

Tian Xiwei felt increasingly troubled, and finally closed the box containing the necklace and put it back in the drawer.

……

After the Spring Festival holiday, Zhang Jingyi received a role in a romance drama.

"Ignite Me, Warm You".

Lin Shaobai had already been confirmed as the male lead in this drama. As for the female lead, the director screened several candidates and ultimately decided to choose Zhang Jingyi, who had already worked with Lin Shaobai once.

This girl is a good actress, good-looking, and doesn't have any major flaws.

She is perfectly suited to play the role of Zhu Yun.

That day, she went to the company to continue talking to the producer about the drama, and happened to run into Tian Xiwei, who was also there to hold an official company live broadcast.

Tian Xiwei hadn't been back to the company for a long time, and unexpectedly, she ran into an old acquaintance when she finally returned.

The two of them clearly felt awkward when they looked at each other.

How could such a relationship not be awkward?

At this moment, there was no anger in Master Tian's eyes, but rather a sense of helplessness and loss.

Zhang Jingyi's eyes remained unchanged.

"Xiao Tian..." In the end, it was Xiao Zhang who took the initiative to greet him.

"Jingyi".

The two had climbed mountains together before, so their relationship must be closer than with others.

Although Tian Xiwei has a slightly short temper, you can't lose your temper with her at this time.

What's the point of getting angry at her?
Are the two of them rivals now?
It's hard to say for sure.

Tian Xiwei couldn't even figure out what her own position was anymore.

"It's been cold lately. Xiao Tian, ​​don't catch a cold." Zhang Jingyi walked over and pinched Tian Xiwei's arm.
