Chapter 516 Encounter in Cannes

Music festivals have always been a feast of music, a place of pilgrimage for music fans, and a place for carnival.

Every year, every month, and every moment, various music festivals are born and performed all over the world.

In Europe, there are three very famous music festival venues.

They are the Edinburgh International Festival, the Cannes International Music Festival and the Munich Music and Theatre Festival.

The programs in these festivals are rich and varied, covering drama, music, dance, fine arts and other fields, attracting many people from all over the world.

The dates of these three music festivals are roughly the same. Except for the one in Cannes which is held around May, the ones in Edinburgh and Munich are held in August and September.

It is now early May, although the Cannes Music Festival has not yet officially opened.

However, in various corners of this city, many venues have already begun their warm-up performances.

Whether it is melodious classical music, popular modern music, or beautiful and profound orchestra performances, they are all sung in this port city in southern France.

However, no matter how elegant the art is, it cannot conceal the fact that Cannes is a port town.

A small town means a small place, which means transportation is not very convenient.

So if Lin Yi wanted to come here, he had to transfer from Paris to Venice, and then rent a car from Venice and drive here by himself.

Of course, he could also take a small plane, but Lin Yi felt that it was a waste of time and it would be better to drive.

However, because he had Zidan as the driver, Lin Yi only needed to close his eyes for a while, and the car would naturally stop in front of a villa hotel.

By the time Lin Yi opened his eyes, the sky outside the car window had already darkened.

The lights are on and the neon lights are bright.

Looking to the other side, an elegant hotel gate appeared in his sight.

Without him even saying anything, Paul, who was sitting in the passenger seat, began his explanation, "Sir, let's stay here tonight. This is where the boss stayed before. The environment is not as noisy as the Corniche Boulevard, and it's more spacious and comfortable."

"I'm fine with it, as long as I have a place to stay. But considering my brother's style of enjoying life, it must be very good."

Facing Lin Yi's curiosity, Paul, who had traveled extensively with Lin Chuyi, complained in a low voice, "This place is too small. No matter how good it is, it's not that good. Sir, you can go to LA when you have time. That's the boss's holiday resort."

"I understand." Lin Yi smiled.

After getting off the car, Lin Yi sat on the sofa and played with his mobile phone. On the other side, Paul quickly processed the check-in information for the three people.

Lin Yi had a suite to himself, and he and Zidan also took down the guest rooms on both sides of the suite.

After solving the accommodation problem, Lin Yi's next step was to hurriedly transfer from Paris to Cannes.

After putting their luggage away, the few people quickly returned to the car and headed towards the location given by Lin Yi.

At first, Lin Yi could still quietly appreciate the street scenes of Cannes, but soon he saw many familiar faces on the street.

Only then did he react and asked, "Paul, this year's film festival is about to start, right?"

"Mid-May every year, it's about the same time now." Paul nodded in front.

"I was wondering how come I saw so many movie stars along the way."

"The music festival is about to start. Cannes' annual May carnival, from film festival to art festival, sir, isn't this why you came here?"

Facing Paul's question, Lin Yi said cheerfully, "No, I came here to look for someone."

As soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, Zidan, who had been driving quietly, couldn't help but laugh, "Sir, you and the boss are really brothers. The excuses are the same."

"Ok?"

"The boss used the same excuse last time, and ended up sneaking into Nicole Kidman's room that night."

Now Lin Yi was speechless. How could his brother's problem be blamed on him? It was too difficult to take the blame.

But more than ten minutes later, when Zidan saw Taozi happily running towards Lin Yi's arms from not far away, the playful look between him and Paul gave Lin Yi a headache, and he really couldn't explain it.

"Oppa, why are you here?"

After a happy hug, Taozi reluctantly let go of Lin Yi and asked happily.

"I was originally going to Paris for something, and then I heard that you were in Cannes, so I came to see you."

"Ah, will that bother you, Oppa?"

Taozi was originally very happy to see Lin Yi, but when she learned that Lin Yi had dropped everything and ran to find her, she was excited at first, and then she started to worry about him and said with concern.

"No problem, it's not a big deal, just meeting someone for a meal."

Lin Yi said it very easily.

It also seemed very clumsy that Lin Xi, who was in Paris at the moment and was calling the restaurant to cancel the meal.

So, thinking that he was not happy, he bought a ticket to Venice, ready to catch his little brother.

Let him know what a brother's love is.

In Cannes, Taozi, who trusted Lin Yi very much, didn't ask any more questions after hearing this, but changed the subject, "Then I'll treat you to a meal."

"Well, it just so happens that I haven't eaten yet, and I'm a little hungry."

Lin Yi did not refuse. It didn't matter who invited someone to dinner, so there was no difference between the two of them.

He was still a little curious, "But aren't you here to participate in the performance? If you run out by yourself like this, the company or your members won't say anything, right?"

"It's okay. They all went to the beach. I was a little uncomfortable because of my period, so I rested in the hotel. I didn't expect you to come. Now I have someone to eat with me."

In fact, Taozi was very excited when she received the message from Lin Yi saying that he was also in Cannes and asked her to find her.

At first she thought Lin Yi was teasing her, because this had happened before. The two of them would occasionally make little jokes to add some cheerful spice to life.

It wasn't until he saw Lin Yi getting out of the car that he couldn't control his emotions and ran over to hug him.

However, the period of pregnancy caused some confusion in hormones and mood swings, which is normal.

So just like that, the two of them quickly found a nice Italian restaurant near the Seaside Boulevard and walked in.

Sitting down, Lin Yi looked at Taozi, whom he had just met in Neon not long ago. Her little face was still as cute as ever, but there was a layer of fatigue in her bright eyes.

Seeing this, he said gently, "Are you very tired recently? You don't look very energetic."

"It's OK. The main reason is that I got the role in the previous movie. In order to play the role well, I have been taking acting lessons recently. In addition to the group's performance, I am a little busy for a while."

Lin Yi's concern made Taozi happy. She narrowed her eyes, pouted her mouth, and whispered about her recent work situation.

While Taozi was answering the question, Lin Yi called the waiter to replace the water in front of her with boiled water.

Then after she finished speaking, she knocked on the table and said, "We haven't started shooting yet, don't be so anxious, your health is more important."

Taozi nodded and said, "I know, I'm just a little busy with my comeback recently. Once the promotion period is over, I will stop my activities and devote myself to filming and wait for the opportunity to join the crew."

"When?" Lin Yi asked.

"At the end of the month, we just returned, Oppa." Lin Yi nodded and thought of something, "What about these two days?"

"I'll be here for the next two days. I'll be performing tomorrow and doing backstage interviews. If I hadn't had any work to do, the company would have wanted me to stay here for a few more days."

Taozi's explanation made Lin Yi laugh, and then he searched through his memories. After a few seconds, he said, "I think your next movie will have a good chance of making an appearance here."

"YoonA-unnie said the same thing, but I don't think the chances are high. I guess the director's team will have some PR, but it has nothing to do with us actors."

For Taozi, who started out as a child star, she has long seen through the rules and filthiness of the circle.

So when Lin Yi mentioned this aspect, she did not hide it, nor was she vague, and expressed her thoughts directly.

After hearing what she said, Lin Yi didn't know what to say. He could only silently give her an appreciative smile.

Then he said self-deprecatingly, "It's not bad, at least I can walk the red carpet and perform in front of the international camera, right?"

Taozi agreed with Lin Yi's statement and laughed, "Well, that's all there is left."

While they were talking, the food they had ordered was finally served.

At this time, Taozi's eyes curiously passed through Lin Yi and looked at Zidan and Paul behind him, "Oppa, who are these two?"

“Can’t you tell?” Lin Yi said with a smile after taking a bite of meat.

"bodyguard?"

As an idol, Taozi had naturally seen many security personnel, so those two people gave her a similar sense of familiarity.

But after seeing Lin Yi nod, Taozi's curiosity disappeared instantly.

Instead, he had a worried and frightened expression, "Oppa, what are you planning to do?"

"Don't overthink it. He's my brother's bodyguard. He was worried about me flying around alone, so he just stayed with me for a few days."

Lin Yi's explanation did not make Taozi feel relieved, but made her even more worried. "Then why don't you stop running around?"

"You, you, eat, eat."

Lin Yi, who didn't intend to explain the situation to Taozi in detail, simply pressed her head.

He rubbed her face until it pouted again, and after she looked a little aggrieved, he finally let go of her hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm not running around. I'll stay here and watch your performance for the next two days."

What about two days later?
Although Taozi really wanted to ask this question, she held back.

Women can care about and worry about men, but they cannot stop men from doing things.

She is very smart, just a little confused because of her concern.

After dinner, since Taozi was not feeling well, Lin Yi did not plan to go to the beach with her. Instead, they took a walk on the street, then found a cafe to sit down and enjoy a relaxing evening.

However, as the main road in Cannes, the Promenade des Anglais not only connects the Palais des Festivals, but also goes straight to the Cote d'Azur.

So not long after the two of them sat down, when Taozi got up and went to the bathroom, a surprised voice floated over from the side of the road, "Lin Yi?"

The fluent Chinese made Lin Yi look towards the direction of the voice immediately. Then he saw two familiar figures and smiled, "Oh, Victoria, long time no see."

"What a formal name! It sounds so unfamiliar." Victoria said with a smile.

"Sister Qian, it's just a joke."

After joking with Victoria, Lin Yi looked at Krystal next to her, "Hi, what a coincidence, Xiujing."

"When did you come?"

Looking at the man in front of her, Krystal frowned, feeling a little happy and a little depressed.

She was happy because she saw the other person, but she was depressed because the other person came without telling her.

What is this?

"I just arrived not long ago. Come sit down and have a cup of coffee together?"

"Ah."

"sure."

After seeing Victoria and Krystal sitting down, Lin Yi looked around curiously, "Where are the other two beauties? Why can't I see them?"

"Amber and Luna, they're still hanging out on the beach. Xiujing and I are a little tired, so we thought about going back to the hotel to rest."

Facing Lin Yi's question, Victoria answered, and then she became curious, "But why didn't you ask Shirley?"

"Taozi is in there, what do you think?"

As Lin Yi said this, Krystal, who was sitting next to him, finally understood the purpose of this guy coming here.

At the same time, his expression suddenly turned cold, and his eyes full of resentment were fixed on someone.

It was not until Victoria sensed something was wrong and was being watched that she stopped.

But the little white shoes under the table still stepped on someone's shoe unhappily, rolling it hard and with all their strength.

Taozi also came out of the bathroom soon, and when she found Victoria and Krystal were here, she laughed, "What a joke! How did you meet each other?"

As the captain and the eldest sister of the team, Victoria's usual image is generally serious and gentle.

But sometimes I would still make a little joke, "I wanted to go back to accompany you, but I didn't expect you already had an appointment with someone else."

Taozi was very happy when she was teased, but she still had to hide it.

So he immediately hugged Victoria's arm.

She shook it gently, and at the same time, she said coquettishly, "Ah, unnie, oppa came here for something, not for me."

"Really?" Victoria looked at Lin Yi and smiled happily.

Before Lin Yi could answer, his cell phone rang first.

When he saw the caller ID, he smiled and said, "Well, that's what it is."

Then he made an apologetic gesture towards the three people, turned sideways and answered the phone, "Hello, Sixth Brother."

"Where are you in Cannes?"

On the other end of the phone, Lin Xi's voice was very loud, and there seemed to be the roar of a helicopter in the background, which was very noisy.

So even though she was a little distance away from Lin Yi, Victoria still heard the voice and breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though she was just joking when talking to Taozi and Lin Yi, she was actually worried that there might be some connection between the two of them. If she was caught by Yoona, she would be in real trouble.

As the captain, she has so much to worry about.

Fortunately, Krystal is well-behaved and doesn't cause too many problems, which reduces the burden on her.

Krystal: Unnie~ hehe~
