Su Yan sat to the right of Lew Qingqing and Zhou Yun, she leaned in, curious, and asked, "Did you know each other before?"
Lew Qingqing immediately responded, "This is the first time we’ve met today. Did you know Xiao Yun before?"
"Of course, it’s also my first time meeting her," Su Yan said. "But I got quite a shock when I saw the trending searches this morning."
Zhou Yun said innocently, "It’s all fabrications by the paparazzi."
"I remember you’re filming with Song Chi, right?" Lew Qingqing asked Su Yan, "You should know best, whether Zhou Yun is Song Chi’s girlfriend or not."
Upon hearing this, Su Yan’s expression flickered, she laughed twice and said, "Although I’m filming in the same crew, how could I know about these things."
The remark sounded innocuous at first, but in actuality, it was still evasive. Lew Qingqing’s previous statement was meant to make Su Yan a living witness to clear the rumor. However, Su Yan only avoided the important and dwelled on the trivial, leaving the impression that even if Song Chi and Zhou Yun were dating, she wouldn’t be aware.
Zhou Yun had no choice but to emphasize again, "I don’t know Teacher Song Chi at all."
Lew Qingqing patted the back of Zhou Yun’s hand and said, "Alright, don’t worry, fans are very smart these days. They won’t be led by the nose by the paparazzi. Don’t be anxious."
Zhou Yun showed a grateful smile to Lew Qingqing.
Beside them, Su Yan took out her sunglasses from her bag and put them on.
Seeing this, Chen Quanying, who was conversing with others, directly asked, "Su Yan, the sun has gone down, why are you wearing sunglasses? Trying to look cool?"
With that one sentence, Su Yan almost lost her composure.
Zhou Yun keenly observed Su Yan’s mouth twitching.
Having heard that Chen Quanying was forthright, the industry was full of rumors about her crushing others, and today, upon witnessing it firsthand, it really was... quite unique. At least, Zhou Yun had been in the industry for so long and it was the first time she saw someone exposing someone else so directly.
That is, excluding the inherent conflict between Lew Qingqing and Su Yan.
Su Yan took off her sunglasses, pursing her lips in a show of grievance, "Ah, Sister Ying, I’m tired and wanted to sleep in the car for a while."
Even Su Yan didn’t dare to openly confront Chen Quanying.
Lew Qingqing did not miss this opportunity to kick someone when they’re down, "Then let’s switch spots, I actually want to chat with Sister Ying. I really liked listening to Sister Ying’s songs when I was in school and even went to Sister Ying’s concert with friends."
Su Yan’s dagger-like glares instantly shot over.
Chen Quanying looked at Lew Qingqing with surprise, "You’ve been to my concert?"
"Yes, five years ago, at Beijing Workers’ Stadium," Lew Qingqing said. "Do you remember?"
"Of course I remember, I obviously remember my own concerts," Chen Quanying turned to Su Yan and said, "You wanted to sleep, didn’t you? Since Lew Qingqing wants to switch with you, then hurry up and switch."
Su Yan’s expression was a bit awkward as if she was stuck on a hot griddle without a way out.
She was being driven away.
Su Yan couldn’t swallow her pride, but she had no choice and had to grin and bear it, trading seats with Lew Qingqing.
There was still a camera filming, Zhou Yun smiled and called out, "Sister Yanyan."
Su Yan maintained a straight face, nodded, and put on her sunglasses again, unclear if she actually fell asleep afterward.
That’s when Zhou Yun took out her cell phone, slightly turned away so that Su Yan couldn’t see her phone screen, and sent a message to Zhou Lan: Did you see what happened this afternoon?
Zhou Lan: What?
Zhou Yun said: Su Yan kicked me.
Zhou Lan: What? During the game? It wasn’t on purpose, was it?
Zhou Yun: No, it was on purpose because I didn’t stand on her side united against the common enemy. Instead, I was close with Lew Qingqing.
Zhou Lan: Are those two really at odds with each other?
Zhou Yun: They had a fight while changing clothes.
Zhou Lan: Just don’t act rashly for now, finish recording the program first, and don’t forget the image you need to show on camera.
Zhou Yun: I know, but remember to ask for a video backup.
Zhou Lan: Leave this matter to me, don’t worry.
After making sure everything was clear, Zhou Yun breathed a sigh of relief and then turned to glance at Su Yan.
Su Yan suddenly spoke up, her voice cold: "What is it?"
Indeed she wasn’t asleep.
Zhou Yun looked puzzled, "Huh? Sister Yanyan, what’s wrong?"
Su Yan snorted but said nothing and fell silent again.
Zhou Yun smiled helplessly, turned his head to look out the window, his eyes’ laughter fading away only then.
At the dinner location, everyone took their seats around a large table. The director and the cameramen were already prepared, and the space in front of the dining table was crowded with people, but only the artists appeared on camera.
Su Yan had a look on her face like she was tempted by the food, saying, "I’m so hungry; I feel like I could eat a whole cow right now!"
Lew Qingqing immediately said, "Me too, I’m really hungry. Director, there are no more tasks, right? Can we just have dinner?"
The two girls looked eagerly at the camera with pleading faces.
Pretty girls making faces like that always soften people’s hearts.
But would the director soften?
"Of course... there’s a task."
Su Yan and Lew Qingqing both let out a sigh at the same time and didn’t argue.
The men behind also started to complain.
"Director, what about your feelings? Where’s your love for us?"
"I’m done filming, I’m done. I declare this to be my last episode."
"This is too much!"
...
It’s all acting, all for the cameras.
Zhou Yun wasn’t the protagonist; a helpless smile was all that was needed.
Smile nicely, be a beautiful vase.
"Xiao Yun, come sit next to me." After Lew Qingqing took a seat, she called out proactively, "Come here."
Zhou Yun went and sat down next to her.
"Lew Qingqing, did you do that on purpose!" Zhang Haichen suddenly glared, "I already said I was going to sit with Xiao Yun tonight!"
Zhou Yun was startled and looked at Zhang Haichen in confusion.
Lew Qingqing smiled triumphantly, saying, "Hmph, stop causing trouble for our innocent Xiao Yun!"
Zhou Yun was bewildered.
Zhang Haichen sighed and looked at the camera with a gloomy face.
Zhou Yun understood, it was for the variety show’s effect.
She smiled and hugged Lew Qingqing’s arm.
Su Yan didn’t look happy when she saw this scene, her look at Zhou Yun even contained a bit of disgust.
Of course, this disgust was away from the cameras.
Zhou Yun didn’t want to get involved in the conflict between Su Yan and Lew Qingqing, but the kick from Su Yan in the afternoon had fired her up.
Regardless of whether Lew Qingqing’s warmth and intimacy in front of the camera was an act, at least she didn’t do that to her.
Zhou Yun was happy to show sisterly affection with Lew Qingqing, to the annoyance of Su Yan.
During the following shoot, Zhou Yun and Lew Qingqing became even more cordial, constantly linking arms or hugging.
They were close as if they had grown up together as best friends.
