Chapter 70: Pretending Not To Be Familiar

Liang Xun went straight to the recording location after work, lie took out his cell phone and sent a message to Jing Yao.
Liang Xun: [Call me after the recording is over. 1’11 pick you up.]
Jing Yao did not reply. In fact, she did not even take out her cell phone. She had read the script that did not have much content several times and had already memorized all the questions on it.
Liang Xun sat in the car and waited for half an hour but did not receive a reply. He could only send it to Shen Yu.
Liang Xun: [Tell Jing Yao that 1’11 pick her up after it’s over.]
Shen Yu was on the brink of tears when he received this message. His manager even reminded him to restrain himself and not always look at Jing Yao or talk to her.
The people around him were already suspicious. They even reminded him repeatedly to keep a distance from Jing Yao after the recording started, or something big would happen.
Shen Yu: [Got it.]
Liang Xun looked at the schedule in his hand. When he saw the recording time, he complained gloomily, “They actually have to record for two hours. What’s the production team thinking? She’ll be so tired.”
Gu Yu sat in the driver’s seat and explained to the production team, “There are so many people. It’s not easy to distribute their dialogue if the time is too short.”
Liang Xun glanced at him coldly. Of course, he knew that. He just felt sorry for Jing Yao. Fortunately, he had agreed with the production team that they had to sit during the question-and-answer segment. They could sit when they weren’t answering the questions.
“President Liang, should we find a coffee shop to sit in?” Gu Yu asked Liang Xun as he looked at the crowded entrance.
Liang Xun shook his head. “Let’s wait in the car.”
After Liang Xun finished speaking, he saw that it was about time and hurriedly turned on his cell phone to enter Fruit Channel’s live-stream.
There were only io minutes left until the official recording. Jing Yao stood in the corner and slowly adjusted her breathing.
“Hey, is your name Jing Yao?” A crisp female voice sounded.
Jing Yao looked up. She knew the person who came. It was Song Xi, who had been in the limelight recently. It was said that she and Shen Yu were going to collaborate on a new drama soon. Although it had not been officially announced, it had basically been confirmed.
That drama was also adapted from a popular 1PQ novel. After it was broadcasted, her and Shen Yu’s popularity would definitely rise to another level.
Jing Yao greeted her with a smile. “Yes, hello, Big Sister Song Xi.”
Song Xi’s expression changed slightly. She was already 29 years old this year. Although it was especially rare for many people to reach her current height at the age of 29, she was still very sensitive to her age.
The entertainment industry was a place for young people, especially female celebrities.
Jing Yao actually didn’t have any other intentions. She called Song Xi “big sister” out of respect for her.
A dark look flashed across Song Xi’s eyes, but her voice was as gentle as ever. “Are you very close to Shen Yu? It looks like you two are very close.”
Jing Yao hurriedly waved her hand. “No, we’ve worked together before. Big Sister Song Xi should know about it too. It’s the drama you guys starred in five years ago.”
Song Xi nodded, but she actually did not believe it at all.
“Why are you hiding in the corner?” Shen Yu walked towards Jing Yao.
Jing Yao and Song Xi looked at her at the same time. The former was on the brink of tears, while the latter was slightly surprised.
A moment later, Song Xi greeted him familiarly, “Shen Yu, long time no see.”
Shen Yu said with a fake smile, “Long time no see.”
This short sentence displayed his aloof temperament. This was the persona that Shen Yu had established. It was the most liked by young girls, but it was too different from his usual carefree personality.
“I want to talk to Jing Yao alone,” Shen Yu said lightly.
Song Xi looked at Jing Yao strangely. Didn’t they say that the two of them weren’t familiar with each other? Why were they talking alone if they weren’t familiar?
“Alright, then you guys chat. I’ll go over first.” Song Xi left after saying that. Her actions were appropriate and nothing unusual could be seen.
However, she was actually already furious. After that drama was broadcasted back then, many people supported her and Shen Yu as an on-screen couple. Soon, the two of them would work together again. If she could pretend to be an on-screen couple with Shen Yu, her popularity would be even higher.
But Jing Yao…
Song Xi’s expression was gloomy. Jing Yao had better stay out of the way. Otherwise, don’t blame her for being heartless.
Jing Yao pretended not to know him well, but Shen Yu kept coming up to her. She wanted to cry.
“My brother asked you to call him after it ended. He’ll pick you up.” After Song Xi left, Shen Yu’s aura changed. He was no longer cold and instantly became relaxed.
Jing Yao nodded and said carefully, “Don’t talk to me during the recording later.”
Shen Yu did not understand. “Why?”
Jing Yao said seriously, “You have too many female fans. I’m afraid of being chased and beaten up by them.”
Shen Yu was caught between laughter and tears. “Don’t worry, Sister-in-law. 1 know my limits. If anything really happens, my brother will kill me before my fans can do anything.”
