Zhong Ruanxing and Liu Zhuo had been acting together in the same drama crew for a long time, so they were quite familiar with Zhong Ruanxing’s beauty. But what they saw today still gave them tremendous shock.
That elegant and gorgeous dress was as if tailored for her, making her look like a red rose that had just blossomed from the deep blue sea, dazzling and eye-catching.
Yu Liang suddenly looked at the shop sign behind her: "BLOOMING, blooming."
Qu Yanshan lowered her head to look at her own dress, and instantly felt dim and lackluster. She gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "What a rubbish no-name brand that can't make it to the stage."
Liu Zhuo, who had just said to "walk well by himself and not bother with her", was already very diligently getting out of the car, "Ruanxing, long time no see! You look prettier and prettier."
Song JinXing's gaze stayed on his face for only half a second, barely nodded in greeting, then expressionlessly shifted away. The van was very spacious. Ran Ting helped hold up her dress skirt. When the two got into the car, Liu Zhuo still awkwardly stood below.
Qu Yanshan was simply furious. Just look at her own cheap, worthless CP! Was she dead to him?!
She glared fiercely at Liu Zhuo as he climbed onto the car, and sized up Song JinXing up and down with an unkind look, sarcastically saying: "Zhong Ruanxing, nice dress! What brand is it? Don't tell me it's some worthless no-name brand that would embarrass the crew on the red carpet."
Ran Ting was also extremely angry. She was about to retort when Song JinXing finally tidied up the cumbersome train and glanced lightly at Qu Yanshan.
Just that one glance, the vicious words Qu Yanshan was about to utter jammed in her throat, not daring to say anymore.
She only felt that glance was as cold as ten thousand feet of ice, such a beautiful face, yet the oppressive aura between the brows made her heart beat slow down.
The atmosphere in the car invisible lowered, the lingering pressure made a few people unconsciously fall silent. Finally, the staff gritted their teeth and spoke up: "Let's get going. Later, Yanshan and Xiaozhuo will walk in front, Ruanxing and Liang will walk behind."
The car headed towards the red carpet venue. At this time there was some traffic congestion, stopping and going. Qu Yanshan was already annoyed and couldn't help complaining: "If not for the detour to pick up people, we would have arrived long ago. Stuck like this, if we miss the red carpet, let's see what you guys do then."
Sitting next to Song JinXing, Yu Liang said in a low voice: "We'll make it, I'm following the navigation, still half an hour before we arrive. We go on stage later, there's time."
Qu Yanshan looked back and glared at him: "Who's asking you?"
Yu Liang pursed his lips and sat back down. His 6-foot tall figure now hunched down looked rather pitiful.
Ran Ting was furious. She deliberately struck up a conversation with Yu Liang: "Liang, I hope you and Ruanxing will go smoothly on the red carpet later!"
Yu Liang turned his head. His handsome fair face showed some smile: "Okay, don't worry, I’ll take good care of sister Ruanxing."
He and Song Shuling were around the same age. He debuted as an idol from a group, but the group gained little popularity and disbanded within a year. It was difficult for domestic idols to get performance opportunities, most could only choose to transition into acting. Yu Liang was the same.
He had acted in some TV dramas over the years, but nothing remarkable, just barely accumulating some popularity to slowly sustain his career.
With Ran Ting breaking the ice, the two naturally chatted away, and the atmosphere in the car finally eased up, even Liu Zhuo kept looking back to join in. Qu Yanshan was even more upset. Can’t this idiot see the man’s intention? Obviously just wanting to look back more at Zhong Ruanxing!
Does she even entertain you?
Qu Yanshan thought, and reacted in surprise that ever since getting in the car, Zhong Ruanxing hadn't said a word, it was always her agent talking.
She sneered coldly: "Some people haven't made it big yet but already putting on airs. Really can't aim too high!"
Ran Ting couldn’t stand her any longer: “Who are you talking about?”
Qu Yanshan was a bit afraid of meeting that icy cold gaze again, didn’t even turn her head back: “Whoever thinks I’m talking about them.”
Then she heard the little agent say earnestly: “Turns out some people don't make it big for a reason, saying one thing in private and another in public. Mr. Liu Zhuo, dealing with this kind of person as a CP must be tiring for you?”
Now Qu Yanshan couldn’t hold it any longer. She whirled around: “Who are you talking about?!”
Ran Ting smiled: “Whoever thinks I’m talking about them.”
“You!”
“Alright Yanshan, stop making a scene! Sit properly, we're arriving near the venue. If fans photograph this, it won't look good."
Liu Zhuo admonished her, and Qu Yanshan finally sat back down. But she was clearly very angry, and hated Liu Zhuo as well now. She had planned that when getting off the car, Liu Zhuo would open the door for her, and they would walk the red carpet arm in arm. But as soon as the car stopped, Qu Yanshan got out by herself without looking back.
Outside the venue were crowds of fans, including those holding light sticks for Qu Yanshan, who screamed wildly when seeing her.
Qu Yanshan put away her aggressive attitude in the car. The corners of her mouth lifted in a wronged smile as she waved at fans with red-rimmed eyes.
Liu Zhuo cursed inwardly and hurried to catch up, extending his arm for her as they walked side by side. But Qu Yanshan acted as if she didn't see it and just walked on her own.
When he appeared, the CP fans screamed even louder, but the two showed no intimacy at all, walking separately. The CP fans were full of questions. Did the little lovers have a quarrel? Was the CP they stanned over?
Behind them, Song JinXing and Yu Liang also walked side by side onto the red carpet. Everyone's eyes were drawn to that figure like a siren from the deep sea.
The graceful long dress rippled like undulating waves, unfolding a path for her to walk from the abyss to the mortal world. The surroundings whiteness flashed madly, afraid to miss a second of this otherworldly ethereal beauty.
Song JinXing was not very used to such occasions. One camera in the face was bad enough, let alone being surrounded by countless cameras.
So this was what it felt like to be a celebrity?
The others seemed to be enjoying it, only he had a faint coldness in his demeanor.
There were no fans of Zhong Ruanxing on site, but someone took the lead to shout her name, and "Zhong Ruanxing" began surging like waves.
A reporter in front shouted: "Zhong Ruanxing, look here, give us a smile!"
Song JinXing remembered Zhong Ruanxing said she would be watching the livestream in the hotel.
So he finally showed the first smile tonight towards the camera. Faint, coldly beautiful, like mountain snow, a meteor across the sky.
The screams grew louder.
The host's voice came on: "Now walking our red carpet is the crew of ‘Tipping the Peach Blossoms with Wine’, ‘Tipping the Peach Blossoms with Wine’ was very popular with audiences during its run. I see many Qu Yanshan fans here right? Let's invite Yanshan, Zhuo, Liang, and Ruanxing to come to the middle for a group photo.”
The male and female leads stood in the middle, Yu Liang automatically stood next to Liu Zhuo, so Song JinXing stood next to Qu Yanshan.
Qu Yanshan wore a fluffy pink dress with a train. When Song JinXing walked over, she made an obvious gesture of pulling her skirt away, looking like she didn't want to be associated with him.
Song JinXing's face was expressionless, also not standing too close to her. He just stood there coldly, without other celebrities' exaggerated posing, yet all the cameras unconsciously tilted towards him.
At this time, the livestream comments were going crazy:
- Full onslaught of gorgeousness! Zhong Ruanxing is killing it tonight!!!
- The contrast in this group photo is too cruel, like a noble princess and her three servants.
- Something seems off between Zhong Ruanxing and Qu Yanshan, not sure, let's keep watching.
- Just now Liang helped fix Ruanxing’s skirt, they bumped into each other!!! The puppy boy and aloof goddess, ship with me!
- I ship everything to maintain a balanced diet, let me worship first!
- This dress is so gorgeous! Which brand is it, sisters please tell me!
- First time seeing her, never walked a show before, could it be a custom piece from some major brand?
- I declare this is the red carpet best tonight! Ruanxing's team better get to work, don't make me force you to send out comparison shots!
Is Zhong Ruanxing's appearance really that stunning?! So cold yet alluring, she's truly one of a kind among celebrities! Such an arrogant beauty!
Nuwa! Nuwa, what are you doing! Look at me, then look at Zhong Ruanxing, can you really do this to me?
Nuwa, are you sleeping? I'm too ugly to fall asleep.
