Shock! I became the protagonist of a female-oriented novel.

“It’s not just talk.” Gu Qiushui smiled and rested her chin on her hand. “It depends on who it is. Look, I can’t bear to be too ‘aloof’ when it comes to such a ridiculous little beauty.”

The camera instantly switched to Yu Ci, who hadn't yet realized she was just a bystander and looked completely bewildered in front of the camera.

"Look." A hand entered the frame and pinched Yu Ci's cheek. "Don't you look silly?"

Even though the script has gone off track... the host still has to follow along!

She laughed, "She really is adorably silly!"

"So, is Goddess Gu ready now? Our budget travel trip is about to begin!"

"We can go now."

They went out in the film crew's car, and there weren't many shots of them on the road. The host sat in the passenger seat, staring straight ahead without blinking.

She now truly believes that the rumor that Gu Qiushui is an unattainable beauty is false.

This... is also called a flower on a high mountain?

What should Guan Yu, who is several degrees colder than Gu Qiushui, be called? The Light of Antarctica?

As special guests, the two were the first to arrive at the airport.

People started arriving at the VIP waiting room one after another.

Yu Ci silently followed Gu Qiushui in greeting people. Around nine o'clock in the morning, everyone had arrived.

Eight people, eight boxes.

"I never expected that this special guest would be Sister Gu from the industry."

"You're joking." Gu Qiushui shook hands with Guan Yu. "In front of Sister Guan, I'm still a little cutie."

Upon hearing this, Guan Yu's gaze softened unconsciously. "Who is this little boy next to you?"

"The one who came with me is, in a way, my... little maid."

"Huh?" Guan Yu looked surprised and doubtful. "A little maid?"

"Yes, it was Yu Ci, who played my maid in the TV series 'The Beauty and the Wind,' a very talented newcomer."

This advertisement can be described as... a blatant advertisement.

Since it was almost time for their flights, everyone didn't exchange pleasantries and simply pushed their suitcases, lined up, and boarded the plane.

On the plane, Yu Ci and Gu Qiushui sat together naturally, and then—

The captain is here.

"Autumn Water?"

The man smiled naturally, and his address of Qiu Shui was equally natural. "It's been a long time."

Gu Qiushui's mind went blank for a moment. Long time no see? Had she met this Teacher Cheng before?

But at times like these, it's obviously best not to say anything carelessly.

"It's been a long time." Gu Qiushui smiled gently. "Teacher Cheng was as radiant as ever."

In that instant, Cheng Xu understood why Gu Qiushui was able to succeed in the entertainment industry.

That gentle smile... the way he praises people, it's truly endearing.

With these thoughts in mind, Cheng Xu started a conversation with Gu Qiushui.

After a while.

Take a good while.

It was a very, very long time.

Gu Qiushui felt that the smile on her face was about to burst. After so long, talking to a useless person was almost exhausting her patience.

Just when she was about to reach her limit, she suddenly felt a heavy weight on her shoulder.

"Feel sorry."

"Teacher Cheng," Gu Qiushui lowered her voice and pointed to the person next to her, "Someone is asleep, let's not talk for now."

"How about we talk about it when everyone's awake?"

"Okay..." Although Cheng Xu was reluctant to stop, disturbing people's sleep was indeed rude and could easily damage the goodwill of passersby, so he shut his mouth.

Finally, it was quiet.

Gu Qiushui looked at the person resting their head on her shoulder with gentle eyes.

As she looked, she suddenly noticed that Yu Ci's eyes had narrowed into slits.

Of course, that's not the point. The point is that her eyes also moved slightly at the same time.

Suddenly, someone gently squeezed my palm.

She seemed to understand something.

-

During lunchtime, everyone on the plane woke up, and Yu Ci 'woke up' along with them.

"Sister Qiushui, Teacher Cheng, could you please move aside?"

"Okay." Cheng Xu stood up, and Yu Ci hurriedly went to the restroom.

"Autumn Water, perfect timing, let's talk about it—"

"Excuse me, Professor Cheng." Gu Qiushui also stood up abruptly. "I need to go to the restroom. You—"

"go Go."

"Goodbye."

As she walked past the person, Gu Qiushui's gaze turned cold.

Guan Yu watched this scene coldly, then started eating sunflower seeds.

Tsk tsk.

An old man who dares to approach a wild rose is not afraid of getting pricked by the thorns.

In the toilet.

While washing her hands, Yu Ci felt the toilet door suddenly close.

"You were very knowledgeable this morning."

"Sister Qiushui, what did you say?"

"Pretending to be asleep?" Gu Qiushui hugged her from behind. "That suits my taste perfectly."

Yu Ci said "Oh," and added, "I just noticed that you didn't seem to want to talk to Teacher Cheng."

"besides……"

"I also don't like it when Teacher Cheng keeps bothering you to talk."

The question Gu Qiushui wanted to ask was stuck in her throat by a single sentence.

Chapter Sixty-Nine: I Ate Today's Title

When the two of them went back together, Cheng Xu got up again to give up his seat.

Since it was time to eat, he didn't want to talk while chewing, so he closed his mouth.

After the meal, before he could even speak, Yu Ci, quite knowingly, slumped onto Gu Qiushui's shoulder with a soft thud.

"I'm sorry." Gu Qiushui raised her hand. "Teacher Cheng, someone is sleeping next to me, so it's not appropriate to talk."

Cheng Xu: ...

"This newbie sleeps a lot, huh?" Doesn't he have any sense of propriety?

"Yes, being able to eat and sleep well is a blessing, so what?"

What else could be said? Leaning back quietly in his chair, Cheng Xu didn't speak again that afternoon.

About four hours later, the plane arrived in Paris.

It was already late at night in Paris.

The world-renowned romantic city remains beautiful even at midnight. People stood at the airport, gazing at the distant scenery and marveling at it.

The group was quickly taken to the Holiday Inn that had been booked by the production team.

After exchanging greetings, the group of people who had greeted each other on the plane went to their rooms rather indifferently.

Yu Ci was a little confused by the atmosphere, so he simply followed Gu Qiushui.

After arriving at the room, the two washed up and lay down on the bed.

They were quite energetic because they had rested for a long time on the plane.

"Sister Qiushui, are all reality shows like this?"

"What does it look like?"

"Uh, are there two different people in front of the camera and behind the camera?" Yu Ci felt a little scared when he thought about the difference in Teacher Cheng's expression in front of the camera and behind the camera.

Gu Qiushui nodded, "That's mostly the case. Because their nature isn't suited to this industry, they have to wear a mask and pretend to be the kind of person the audience likes."

"Oh……"

After Yuci uttered an "oh," there was silence for a long time.

Gu Qiushui paused for a moment, then asked, "Are you asleep?"

"No."

"Then why aren't you saying anything?"

"No, I was just thinking..." Yu Ci felt he was thinking something quite audacious, "If filming a reality show requires wearing all sorts of masks, I—"

"I don't really want to film a reality show," she said cautiously.

After all, the studio had already made an overall entertainment industry plan for her, and the resources allocated to her were expected to be very good. In fact, Gu Qiushui even gave his first variety show appearance so that she could get a higher starting point.
