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

Gu Qiushui hummed in agreement; it was clear she was very happy.

Guan Yu on the other side chuckled, "It seems that the newcomers these days not only know a lot of things, but they also have a sweet tongue."

No, I'm telling the truth.

"Alright, alright, the newbie is telling the truth." Guan Yu waved his hand. "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. We've been out all day, let's take out the money we earned and calculate it to see if it's enough."

Getting down to business, everyone pulled out their letters.

Cheng Xu's group consisted of four people, and since they were doing manual labor, they received the most money. To the surprise of the guests present, Gu Qiushui and Yu Ci were the second highest earners.

"It seems the newcomer was right when he left." Guan Yu counted the money and sighed, "He really knows how to make money. He earns much more from painting than Cheng and I do in a day of busking."

Yu Ci is someone who can't stand being praised, and when Guan Yu praised her like that, her face turned red.

After counting the money and discussing other matters, it was almost seven o'clock. After quickly finishing a meal at a small restaurant outside the hotel, everyone, exhausted from a long day, prepared to go home.

but--

Cheng Xu called out to Gu Qiushui once again.

"Qiu Shui, I heard you recently filmed a drama called 'The Beauty and the Wind'?"

"Ah, Professor Cheng is very well-informed."

Cheng Xu smiled and said, "It's like this, a friend of mine is also planning to make a film set in the Republican era. I guess you would look great in that period costume. How about we chat sometime?"

He refused to believe that Gu Qiushui wouldn't take such a big bait.

So what if you're a big star in television? In the film industry, you're still a newcomer, unknown.

His friends are all veterans.

Cheng Xu didn't believe in this role, and Gu Qiushui didn't take the bait.

only--

"Oh, I'm sorry, Teacher Cheng." After calming Yu Ci, who was tugging at her clothes, Gu Qiushui refused Cheng Xu's request very thoroughly, "My schedule is full recently, and I probably won't have time to film a movie."

Cheng Xu: ...

"I must be tired after being out all day. If you have nothing else to do, Teacher Cheng, I'll head back to rest now."

In a situation like this, if I want to maintain my composure, how can I possibly speak?

As Cheng Xu watched Gu Qiushui and Yu Ci walk further and further away, he felt increasingly uneasy.

What the hell?

Is this bone that's coming this time really that hard to crack?

-

bedroom.

"Why is Teacher Cheng here to see you again?!" So disappointing! So disappointing! So disappointing!!

Yu Ci sat down, pursing her lips. "He's so strange. It's only a short walk, but he insists on coming over to help you carry your easel."

"And just now, couldn't we just send a message to the studio to discuss the character?"

"He's really annoying."

"Mmm, you're so annoying," Gu Qiushui kept agreeing.

"Forget it, let's not talk about him anymore!" Yu Ci waved his hand, skipping over the topic. "Talking about him is boring, let's take a shower instead."

"Oh..." Gu Qiushui chuckled, "So you mean, let's go take a shower together now?"

More than once: !

Chapter 73 The First Day of the Reality Show!

Seeing Yu Ci suddenly sit up straight, Gu Qiushui laughed. "Alright, I was just kidding. We'll talk about these things later." It's still early, she's still young, there's plenty of time later...

After they both washed up, it was almost eight o'clock.

I don't usually go to bed this early, and although I'm tired, I'm not sleepy at all.

The two leaned against the bed together. Gu Qiushui was chatting with her agent, while Yu Ci, bored, went to Bilibili to watch parody videos.

Gu Qiushui: /voice xxx/.

Zhao Ruyi: Sure, I'm making arrangements right now. The online marketing team will be ready for the premiere tomorrow.

Gu Qiushui: Okay, thank you for your hard work.

Zhao Ruyi: I get paid to do things, it's not hard work, it's just...

Zhao Ruyi: Sister Gu, I think I hear laughter next to you?

Zhao Ruyi wasn't quite sure, but that laughter sounded strangely familiar.

Gu Qiushui: Are you talking about laughter?

Gu Qiushui subconsciously glanced to the side and saw a person clutching a small blanket, laughing wildly.

Gu Qiushui: The last time I was on my bed, she seemed to be watching a funny video.

Zhao Ruyi: Oh, I see.

Gu Qiushui: Hmm.

Huh? Zhao Ruyi's eyes were glued to her phone, overwhelmed with shock.

If signing a newcomer with mediocre acting skills and average looks is considered a good fit, then suddenly deciding to mentor that newcomer and breaking one's rule of not doing variety shows could be seen as a sudden attempt to boost national popularity and gain a good reputation.

So--

In the assistant's eyes, she is warm on the outside but cold on the inside. According to her profile, she is a warm-faced but cold-hearted person who allows another person to lie on her bed and laugh unrestrainedly while she is working and sending voice messages. Why is that?

She dared not think too deeply, nor could she. After hastily sending her boss a goodnight message, she turned off her phone.

terrible.

If that day ever comes, how should public relations be handled?

After ending the chat with Shen Ruyi, Gu Qiushui put away her phone. She originally wanted to watch the video with Yu Ci, but found that Yu Ci was already lying on the bed.

"What's wrong?" she asked with a smile, lifting the blanket.

Yu hissed, "My hand hurts a bit from holding my phone up for so long."

"Hands hurt?"

She naturally grabbed the hand under the blanket, placed it on her leg, and gently rubbed it.

Does it hurt here?

"A little..."

"Then you probably haven't been holding your phone for too long, you've been holding a paintbrush for too long."

Because she often filmed action scenes, Gu Qiushui frequently experienced pain, so her kneading technique can be described as top-notch.

About half an hour later, Yu said he felt much better.

"Sister Qiushui, you've been massaging for so long, you must be tired!"

"Not tired..."

Yu shook her head, "I'm tired, but I'm not tired now! Let me massage you for a while!"

After saying that, she grabbed Gu Qiushui's hand without waiting for Gu Qiushui to refuse.

Despite years of studying painting, Yu Ci's hands were still soft and weak. However, when the thin calluses on her hands brushed against Gu Qiushui's hand, Gu Qiushui couldn't help but tremble slightly.

This must be what they mean by the legendary sweet burden.

He touched and fiddled with people, trying to start something up, but the other person looked serious, and since the relationship wasn't settled, he couldn't do anything.

-

The two opened their eyes at seven o'clock the next day.

Because the production team likes to highlight the energy of the guests, everyone got up quite early. Around 7:30, the whole group gathered, and Guan Yu announced the amount of money. It started to drizzle outside.

It's raining, which makes some work harder, so everyone decided to take the money and go visit the Eiffel Tower today.

As the saying goes, you should be a refined pig girl.

Although everyone was broke, after deciding to go on a trip, everyone went back and changed their clothes.

At 8:30, the whole group set off.

The Eiffel Tower, located on the Champ de Mars in Paris, is a landmark of France and a must-see for tourists from all over the world.

So, despite the rain, there were still quite a few people here.

After getting out of the car, Guan Yu and the others braved the light rain and started snapping photos everywhere.

The photographer followed them, faithfully recording their joy upon seeing the Eiffel Tower and their excitement after taking the photos. This is because it's the kind of scene viewers love to see.

After a hard day's work, I use the money I earned to watch my favorite classic. Look how inspiring my idol is! However... Gu Qiushui could easily tell that everyone's expressions were quite fake.

Perhaps because they've done so many travel shows, when the group of guests saw the magnificent scenery, there wasn't much joy in their eyes anymore; all they could see was an unconscious 'smile'.

certainly--

Except for the one next to her.

Yu Ci was genuinely happy, just like the kind of happiness elementary school students have when they go on a spring outing.

Looking east and west, he faithfully used his phone to record what, in Gu Qiushui's eyes, was no different from any other part of the Eiffel Tower...

"Sister Qiushui, come here, let's take a fun photo!"

"Okay."

After looking around, I finally found a good spot.

"Come on! Sister Qiushui, you're in this position, clench your fists!" Yu Ci suddenly exclaimed excitedly.

Gu Qiushui: ...

"Is that so?" She put her index and ring fingers together.
