can you correct me

Chapter 3 The Seed of the Conspiracy

At night, in the kitchen of the apartment on the eleventh floor.

Lin Chengcheng and Aunt Huang stared at a charred plate that could barely be seen in the shape of a fish, and were dazed.

The awkward atmosphere froze the air a little.

"Chengcheng, otherwise don't learn it. My husband likes to eat other dishes occasionally. Auntie will teach you a few other dishes." Aunt Huang spoke first.

"Auntie, can I try again?"

Lin Chengcheng has been learning this steamed sea bass for a whole week. Although there are some achievements under Aunt Huang's guidance, it is not a good thing to eat the failed ingredients every night.

"Give it a try. Auntie has told you how to do it. You should be more careful about the heat. Auntie will leave tomorrow. You can do your best." Aunt Huang said with a smile. Really not proficient.

"Is it because I'm here, so you can't continue?" Lin Chengcheng felt a little guilty.

"No, since you are here to take care of it, I will go back to the villa tomorrow to take care of the old lady."

"The old lady?"

"It's the husband's grandmother. The husband usually lives there with the old lady, and only comes here occasionally when he is busy with work."

Lin Chengcheng nodded thoughtfully.

"There are some other things, I will ask you before I leave..."

Lin Chengcheng never knew that he could remember a stranger's preferences in such detail.

In the TV cabinet in the living room, the first drawer on the left is commonly used stomach medicine and headache medicine.

Clothes should be sorted according to color, autumn and winter, and special accessories should be classified according to popularity.

I don’t eat fruit, I’m allergic to avocados, I only eat fish for meat, and steamed sea bass is my favorite.

Mineral water should be kept in the refrigerator, and the red wine in the wine cabinet should be replenished in time.

Aromatherapy oil for the bedroom, use rosemary during the day and lavender for sleep at night.

……

After seeing off Aunt Huang, Lin Chengcheng stared blankly at the full notebook.

This man is too hypocritical.She thought to herself...

The sound of the text message on the mobile phone brought her back to God.

"Aunt Huang said that you are doing well in your studies."

"Gu Shengyan? Why do you have my mobile phone number?"

"Is it difficult?"

"Well... I'm doing well, but maybe not as good as you imagined."

"I never imagined."

Lin Chengcheng looked at these words, and felt the indifference on the other side through the phone.Just as she was about to get up to tidy up the battlefield in the kitchen, she saw him send a few more words.

"But you can try it tomorrow."

During the rest period of the set, many movies and dramas filmed at the same time around made the whole venue a bit noisy. The director's praise, the actors' crying scenes, emotional scenes, and the voice of martial arts instructors... It was difficult for the people in it to relax.

But on the rattan chair in the crowd, there was a big star who had just finished filming. He was wearing a black short-sleeved T-shirt and jeans. His quiet and plain eyes seemed to erect a barrier to isolate him from the chaotic studio. Come, so that people dare not come forward to disturb.Occasionally, a few small fans came, and he responded politely and distantly to the request for autographs, and then he took out his mobile phone.

Jimmy on the side looked at his upturned mouth and smiled gratifiedly.

Jimmy approached the rare and pure man: "You miss the little girl, don't you?"

"Not really." Gu Shengyan didn't look up, wondering if the words just now were a little cold, then typed a few more words, and after clicking send, he looked at the person in front of him.

"It's been more than ten years since high school, not to mention the few text messages you sent me, the reply to me may not be as many as these few words." Jimmy teased him.

Gu Shengyan frowned, then raised the corners of his mouth.

"Don't forget, she is a reserve contestant for paparazzi."

"I know."

"..."

"I will train."

In fact, Jimmy felt Gu Shengyan's subtle emotional changes as early as that morning in Vienna.Gu Shengyan is so afraid of trouble, how could he keep such a confused and noisy girl by his side.

He knew that this person was really serious.

The magazine is preparing for a long-term follow-up shoot recently, which is about a certain female director's hidden affairs.

"It is reported that the director has had affairs in marriage many times, and her husband has been betrayed repeatedly, so he decided to divorce..."

Lin Chengcheng listened to Liu Lanlan's ups and downs, and in her ears, it was as if she kept saying "sleep, sleep, my dear baby...".

Suddenly, Liu Lanlan coughed, and her eyes like ice skates swept across Lin Chengcheng.Tang Jing's voice interrupted her drowsiness, so she quickly opened her sleepy eyes wide.

"Hey, wake up, what's the matter with you recently? The off-duty people disappeared, and yesterday's regularization party didn't come, are you sick?"

She wanted to tell Tang Jing what happened recently, but when she thought about the items in the confidentiality clause, she hesitated: I'm sorry Tang Jing, I will tell you when the matter is over!

"Well, my mother is busy in the hospital recently, so I have to deliver food to her."

"Then let's go together for tomorrow's follow-up shoot. I'll go to your house to find you."

"Yeah, okay." As she spoke, under Tang Jing's suspicious eyes, she nodded.

Lin Chengcheng carried the fish and vegetables he bought, and as soon as he entered the door of the apartment, he tripped over the raised carpet in the hall and fell to the ground. The burning pain in his palms and knees made her eyes moist.

"Miss, are you alright?"

The apartment manager hurried over.

Lin Chengcheng shook his head and responded, "It's okay."

Just when she was about to stand up reluctantly, she was suddenly picked up by a pair of big hands behind her and hugged in her arms. The warm body temperature made her a little dazed.

She looked in horror at the man who said yesterday that he would come back to eat fish.

"Are you okay?" The deep voice blew ripples in her ears, and her cheeks became hot instantly.

"No, it's fine."

"Sir, I'm sorry, it's our negligence. Because of the recent replacement of the carpet, I haven't had time to check it carefully."

Lin Chengcheng secretly glanced at the warning sign under construction behind him, and his face became a little redder.

But the gazes of the people around her awakened her professionalism. It was really inappropriate for such an intimate gesture to appear in public, not to mention that the person holding her was a big star.

She has quick wits.

"Cousin, please let me down, I'm fine." After speaking, she smiled.

The eyes of the administrator's aunt are full of smiles-you brothers and sisters have such a good relationship.

And she obviously felt the hands of the person behind her stiffen, and he gave her a faint look.

"Please remind me next time, our girl's eyes are not very good."

"I'm really sorry, we will pay attention next time."

Who did he just say had bad eyesight?Lin Chengcheng secretly rolled his eyes.

But he seemed to have said just now—our family?

Who belongs to his family!She bit her lip.

The administrator's aunt's voice was also left behind.

"Thank you, you can let me down." Her voice sounded muffled.

"Ah."

Lin Chengcheng stretched his legs, ready to get off, but this person didn't seem to intend to let her down, and his hands were also clenched tightly, as if expressing his dissatisfaction with her messy movements.

Didn't you say "um"?

"I can go by myself, thank you." She gestured tactfully again, but her face was still flushed. Such an intimate gesture made her feel a little embarrassed.

"I know I can, but I don't want to."

He seemed to be responding to Lin Chengcheng's doubts, and Lin Chengcheng could clearly hear his strong heartbeat.

Pounding!
Pounding!
Pounding!
……

She looked at his face quietly. From such an angle, the outline was still delicate, but not as indifferent as the two previous meetings. There seemed to be a trace of warmth in his eyes, as well as a somewhat unreal softness. Although his brows were slightly frowned, But there was no displeasure.

He nodded, as if feeling the restlessness of the little thing in his arms, he frowned: "Be quiet."

Lin Chengcheng clutched his chest vigorously, and there was a violent beating sound there.

In this way, he didn't put the cooked shrimp on the sofa until he got out of the elevator and opened the door, and turned around to find the medicine box.

"Stretch your legs."

"It's okay, I can handle it myself, no need..." She shrank back into the sofa.

Gu Shengyan didn't look up, rolled up the cuffs of his shirt, lifted her calf, saw the red and broken skin marks on her fair knees, he frowned, and gently wiped it with iodine.Feeling her shrinking movement because of the pain, he hesitated for a moment, then slowly blew on the wound, and the strength of his hand increased.

Just about to help her treat the wound on her palm, but seeing the little girl's frightened expression, he threw the iodine in his hand to her: "Here, wipe it yourself."

"Ah, okay okay."

Seeing the clumsy and nervous look of this little thing, he chuckled slightly.

"After treating the wound, let's go fish. I'll take you home after dinner."

"Oh."

Seeing her nod obediently, he smiled with satisfaction.

But for the next half an hour, Gu Shengyan sat at the bar, looking at the girl in the kitchen who was talking to the fish with various weird expressions.

"sorry Sorry……"

Moreover, she would utter some strange tone words from time to time, and then look back at him in embarrassment.

After tossing enough time to cook three fish, he finally saw what Lin Chengcheng was talking about—steamed sea bass.

He raised his eyebrows, looked at the ball of steamed fish, and then looked up at her expectant eyes.He picked up the chopsticks, chose an appropriate position, and picked up a piece of fish.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Her bright eyes sparkled.

"Ah."

"Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious." In my impression, I was only asked this sentence when I was a child, and it made him feel a little uncomfortable and awkward to say it like this.So, he bowed his head and ate the fish quietly.

"Can I ask for leave tomorrow? We have a follow-up."

"..."

"It shouldn't be long, about two or three days."

"..."

"is it okay?"

The man in front of him picked up the water glass next to him and took a sip.The Adam's apple rolling up and down made Lin Chengcheng a little fascinated. She had never observed such a masculine feature so clearly and closely, and was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Why are you an entertainment reporter?" He put down his water glass and pursed his lips.

"Because Yuji is relatively not that boring."

"Aside from that? Don't you think it will affect others?"

"I understand that our professions are inherently relative. But you also have to see the advantages of each profession. As public figures, you should be the benchmark of social image. But because you have been at different levels for too long, everyone will appear like this Such a problem. The existence of Yuji can regulate your behavior, which is equivalent to the discipline inspection committee of the entertainment industry." It is rare for Lin Chengcheng to have many opinions on some matters.

"Is it okay to interfere with other people's privacy?"

"If you decide to pursue this profession, you should accept the negative things that the profession brings."

Under the dim light, Lin Chengcheng saw that the corners of his mouth were slightly bent, and there seemed to be a little smile in the black eyes staring at her.

He didn't know that the little girl was so eloquent.

"Then who are you going to shoot tomorrow?"

"..."

"can not say?"

"It's...Director Zhang Lin."

Gu Shengyan frowned and motioned for her to continue.

"It's about her cheating." Lin Chengcheng looked at him hesitantly, "You...don't know how to tell the news, right?" She remembered that Gu Shengyan once thanked this person who knew him well at an awards ceremony Director En, they should have a good relationship.

He raised his hand and rubbed his temple: "Girl, do you know why I hate Yuji?"

"Huh?" Is he angry?

"There are some things that can't be reported based on speculation and conjecture." He put down his chopsticks and said seriously, "Director Zhang Lin is a very strong woman, and she doesn't want to expose her family ugliness. She is divorced, but what is the bitterness in it?" Is it as nasty as your media imagines?"

"It's not speculation, it's news from someone in the know!" Lin Chengcheng was a little dissatisfied.

He chuckled lightly, full of sarcasm: "The entertainment industry is full of 'informed people' who are jealous of each other. When the wind blows, it will make rain. Pulling people down is not as difficult as you think. How believable."

"But this is our spirit of entertaining people. We will not frame an innocent artist, nor will we allow them to damage the social image. Restoring the truth is what we always insist on." Lin Chengcheng is not to be outdone.

Silly girl!Looking at her swollen little face, Gu Shengyan finally smiled.

But Lin Chengcheng didn't calm down her anger because of this, she got up to pack her things and was about to leave.

"I send you."

"No."

"Let's go."

"I said no!" Before he finished speaking, the sound of closing the door rang in his ears.

On the bustling street, the atmosphere of the two people sitting in the simple black car was a little frozen, but there was no unnatural feeling at all.

Until turning an intersection and entering the side road, the person in the driver's seat spoke.

"Can a public figure have an ordinary love life? Don't be disturbed."

"It might work."

"Would you like this kind of life? You can't date normally, you can't go to the premiere movie together, you can't go shopping for clothes, and you can't travel openly."

Lin Chengcheng looked at him sideways. He was wearing a white shirt today, with a slight worry on his face. He was still handsome and elegant, with an air of arrogance.

Judging by his appearance, is it likely that he is often disturbed?That's right, so many rumored girlfriends seem to have disappeared in the end.Lin Chengcheng thought so.

"When you're with the person you like, why would you mind doing something? It's a pleasure to be together." She looked at Gu Shengyan's smiling eyes with some doubts, and said comfortingly.

The speed seems to have stabilized a bit.

Under the night, the smile in his eyes grew stronger.

Arriving downstairs in the community, Lin Chengcheng was about to get out of the car when he stopped him.

"Girl, observe more when you go to work. Don't just believe in the superficial things, but believe in what you see."

She nodded seriously: "Then I'm leaving, thank you for sending me back."

"and many more."

"Ok?"

"I still have a reception tonight, and I'll be back on set tomorrow."

"Oh, you don't have to tell me."

"Go."

Lin Chengcheng smiled sweetly and closed the car door.

Looking at the little girl smiling and waving in the rearview mirror, Gu Shengyan was a little lost. For some reason, this little girl made him feel special.

Lin Chengcheng looked at the place where the car lights disappeared, and patted his hot cheek, as if this person is not so far away!

However, since there is a reception, why do you want her to be a fish?

When Gu Shengyan returned home, he put on a formal suit and straightened his tie. He glanced sideways at the fish on the dining table that was salty and bitter due to too much salt, and felt a little discomfort in his throat.

When she was looking at him just now, he had unknowingly eaten a third of the fish. Thinking of her eloquent tongue, he felt that he seemed to know her better.

A warm smile that didn't belong to him surfaced on his face.

On the bustling street, a certain high-end club was full of joyful songs and laughter.

Lanlai Brokerage Company's annual reception was held here. Almost all business giants, well-known directors and artists under the company who intend to develop the entertainment industry were present. As a signature artist, Gu Shengyan naturally couldn't be absent.

Compared with the bright accessories and gorgeous dresses of other men present, his black suit looked a little quiet, but it could not conceal his low-key radiance.The black set off his deep and calm handsome face, which seemed to be out of place in this noisy reception, but it was uniquely eye-catching.

"Isn't this a grand statement?" The person who came was a middle-aged man who was about 40 years old but still capable and tall - a well-known director, Su Hansheng.

Gu Shengyan stopped raising his glass, smiled and nodded, his eyes were full of indifference and alienation: "Director Su."

Gu Shengyan has worked with this director before, and the other party's talented, shrewd and capable qualities make him remarkable in the creation of works, but he is also too sophisticated and smooth, and often compromises in the choice of roles.This has also caused his works to receive negative reviews over the years, and his extremely high artistic attainment was ruined by the leading actor's acting skills, making some well-known actors rarely participate in the films he directed, and Gu Shengyan is one of them.

"Sheng Yan, how are you doing recently? Is there a new play?"

"Well, I have to go back to the set when the next one is over."

"The new film I'm preparing for next month will start to cast roles. I wonder if I can show my face?"

"I am afraid……"

Just as Gu Shengyan was about to speak, Jimmy jumped out from nowhere and patted his shoulder. Jimmy said to Su Hansheng: "Director Su, we have said that the arrangements for this year are relatively tight, and we may be offended."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and blinked at Gu Shengyan: Sorry, I'm late again.

"It's okay, it's good to get to know the heroine of our new play!" Su Hansheng waved to a corner of the crowd, "President Li, Miss Dai!"

Wearing a peony cheongsam with a white background, Dai Yue walked slowly towards this side with a middle-aged man with a big belly on his arm.

"Tsk, that man is the director of Lihang Entertainment, and he was divorced only last month. This Dai Yue is too efficient. If your grandma sees this scene, she will definitely not force you to try with her again." Jimmy leaned into his ear and whispered.

Gu Shengyan took a sip of the champagne in the glass and pursed his lips.

"Sheng Yan, it's a pity that you can't come, if such talents and beautiful women can cooperate, the box office will definitely not be low." Su Hansheng turned to look at Dai Yue beside him, "I also heard that you and Miss Dai are considered acquaintances. Why don't you think about it again?"

The man on the side was also a little displeased: "Why, Director Su, don't big stars give you face?"

"Thank you, Dao Su, Miss Dai and I have only met once, so we may have some difficulties working together. It's getting late, and I have to rush back to the set, excuse me." After finishing speaking, Gu Shengyan nodded and left .

The smile on Dai Yue's face suddenly collapsed, Gu Shengyan not only denied her relationship with him, but also laughed at her acting skills, which made her feel uneasy for a while.

"Miss Dai, this..." Su Hansheng laughed.

"Isn't he just an actor? What's the big deal, if you change a few more, there will always be something suitable." After finishing speaking, Mr. Li patted the hand of the woman next to him, turned around and left.

However, Dai Yue was not relieved by this. The moment she turned around, there was a glimmer of stern light in her eyes, and the hands beside her were clenched into fists, as if some conspiracy was brewing.

Sitting back in the caravan, Gu Shengyan felt his headache getting stronger, he rubbed his temples, closed his eyes and rested his mind.

"Hey, I just saw Dai Yue's eyes were not very friendly, and you've made him embarrassing. I said you're really bad, but you're still a girl anyway." Jimmy leaned closer.

"Girls are also divided into those who are capable and those who are not."

Jimmy cleared his throat and motioned for the driver to drive.
