once i loved you

Chapter 2

Half a month ago.

"The next 10 minutes are free for questions. Friends from the media, please hurry up and ask questions. Mr. Gu has other schedules today." The master of ceremonies looked at his watch symbolically and said unhurriedly.

Question after question popped up one after another from the mouths of more than 200 Yuji people below. They said it would take 10 minutes, but it turned out that it went on for almost an hour and didn't finish.

The questions they asked have long been out of today's topic. Forty percent of them are about the new film of a famous film director that Gu Weiye just took over, and [-] percent of the questions are related to this oolong "kissing the boy incident"-extended to other Questions about personal relationships.

Today's protagonist, Gu Weiye, is unbelievably patient. For the questions raised by the reporters, he can answer them thoroughly and without revealing anything, and he skillfully avoids the questions he can't answer.

The clarification of the press conference made him feel like a fan meeting.From time to time, bursts of cheerful laughter broke out in the venue, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves to an incredible degree.

But not everyone enjoys it, for example——

Cen Xiao, who was sitting at one end of the long table wearing a giant toad mirror, a minion mask, and a baseball cap, was suffering both physically and mentally.

Please don't laugh at her, a small person who has never seen the world, okay?
Since three days ago, Gu Weiye's manager came to her to explain the ins and outs of the matter, and asked her to attend this press conference, she suffered from insomnia every night and sleepwalked every day...

This morning, she made a cup of Nestle by herself at home, and bought a cup of latte on the street corner when she went out, so she managed to maintain a clear consciousness.

The result of drinking too much coffee is that she wants to go to the bathroom now, and this strong desire has successfully drowned out her guilt towards Gu Weiye.

She, the perpetrator, and the person involved have come to speak out, and with Gu Weiye's eloquent tongue, the following reporters have long been convinced, and have successfully shifted the issue. Why doesn't Gu Nanshen give the master of ceremonies a wink to end it? ?

Cen Xiao couldn't understand the mysterious thoughts of these male gods, but she knew that if she didn't solve it, she would really pee her pants.

Just pat the table and leave?Uh, she said she couldn't do it.

After thinking for a while, Cen Xiao took out her phone and found out the phone number of Gu Weiye's assistant, Ben. At this critical moment, she didn't care about the wording, and just sent out a sentence: I can't hold it anymore, I need to go to the bathroom, if possible If so, can you ask your boss to end it quickly?
Cen Xiao knows that this is not very moral, but a living person cannot be suffocated to death by urine.

Not long after, Cen Xiao noticed that Gu Weiye looked down at his phone, and then the memorizing session would soon end under Gu Nanshen's instruction.

Gu Weiye hadn't attended any event in public for more than a year. Although the master of ceremonies announced the end, the unwilling media still swarmed up and blocked the passage.

Cen Xiao was squeezed until his hat fell off, and finally he was taken to the lounge of the press conference.

After going to the bathroom and coming out, she threw the sunglasses and mask... into the trash basket in the lounge as she had planned beforehand, and took out a coat from her big bag to change into, her hair was loose, and she was just about to go out He was stopped again by an assistant of Gu Weiye.

The young man kept a tight fit, had a handsome face, and spoke very softly, "Miss Cen, there are reporters outside now, I suggest you leave later."

Cen Xiao said "Oh", without refusing, quietly sat down on the black and white striped fabric sofa, picked up a magazine on the coffee table and flipped through it.

Having worked in the magazine for more than a year, Cen Xiao has already been familiar with the routines of the publications on the market.So as soon as she got the magazine in her hand, she saw that it was an internal magazine with a small circulation.

The books and periodicals spare no expense, and use an expensive imported coated paper, with only one photo on each page, accompanied by a few lines of text.Such a high-end typesetting of local tyrants, if the beauty editors in her agency read it, they will probably have to vomit blood.

But it cannot be denied that the magazine is indeed beautifully done.The photos on each page are carefully selected, without excessive photoshopping, mostly documentary black and white photographs, accompanied by the explanatory text below, Cen Xiao read it with gusto.It wasn't until the assistant reminded her that she could go that she put down the magazine and left.

Cen Xiao closed the lounge door from the outside with his front foot, and Gu Weiye entered the lounge through the secret door with his back foot.

He looked tired, and after being chased to take several photos just now, he made a "bloody path" through the dense film.

Gu Weiye took off his tie and handed it to his assistant Ben who was following behind.Looking around, he didn't see the person he was looking for, and there was a trace of bewilderment in his eyes.

"Wang Xiang, where is the photographer?" Gu Weiye asked.

Wang thought: "Mr. Gu is talking about Ms. Cen? She has already left. You don't seem to have told me to help you keep her."

"Oh, forget it then." Gu Weiye put on his coat, went to the coffee table, picked up the magazines that had been placed on the table beforehand, and got into his car under the guidance of Ben, Wang Xiang and others.

In the car.

Turning to the tucked-up title page of the magazine, Gu Weiye frowned and asked, "Someone touched my magazine?"

Wang Xiang was driving, and didn't notice the change in the boss's tone, so he replied truthfully: "Miss Cen seems to have seen it."

Ben, who was sitting in the co-pilot, rubbed his forehead and said displeasedly: "This is from Mr. Mu Hongbai, his photography teacher. It is not available in the market. It is very precious. Mr. will keep every copy properly. Wang thought, how could you easily Give it to irrelevant people to pass the time?"

"This..." Wang Xiang's eyelids twitched uneasily, "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, I will definitely pay attention next time."

"Forget it, it doesn't matter." Gu Weiye said lightly.

His slender fingers gently flattened the folded corners, and then stroked the photo of a cafe in Chiang Mai called "Kaleidoscope" (translation: kaleidoscope) on this page, and slowly closed the magazine.

In the next week, Cen Xiao lived a bit of drama.

Through the press conference video, Gu Weiye's fans knew her back.

Whenever she appeared at the gate of the building fully armed, she would be surrounded by a group of excited fans.Gu Fen'er has a good quality and did not launch a fierce physical attack on Cen Xiao, but every morning when she went to work, she would be yelled at by the crowd - getting out of the media circle is not much better.

Being troubled like this is not an option, and at the suggestion of his best friend Shu Lian, Cen Xiao finally chose to resign.

When sitting in the sparsely populated airport—waiting for the flight to Chiang Mai, Cen Xiaocai felt his depressed mood calm down.

Speaking of which, she is quite innocent.

More than a month ago, when she was interviewing with her master Lao Chen at a fishing village cultural festival, she received a text message from her boyfriend Ye Chengjin who had been dating for more than three years.Cen Xiao felt sad, after the interview, he didn't go back to the hotel with Lao Chen.Instead, he came to the beach alone to relax.At that time, she stood on the viewing wooden stack by the sea and took a picture of Gu Weiye giving artificial respiration to the boy.

Cen Xiao swears that because of the distance, she really thought that what she photographed was a pair of ordinary male and female lovers.

What happened after that was bloody.

Because a special reporter did not submit the manuscript, this photo of her was used by Lao Chen to fill up the skylight, and it was published in the magazine of his agency.The small photos were unexpectedly recognized by Gu's fans, and they complained that the people in the photos looked like their idols.

Coincidentally, a well-known gossip microblog in China got the original photo of this photo from nowhere. Not only did it show a clear and large picture on Weibo, but it also listed the transportation and hotel evidence of Gu Weiye's vacation in the fishing village. The one who "kissed" the boy was Gu Weiye himself.

On the one hand, Gu Weiye was afraid of affecting the reputation of the teenager, and on the other hand, he also held a press conference to clarify his charges of pedophilia.Cen Xiao, the teenager, and the teenager's family members were invited to the scene to clarify the truth of the matter.

In short, in the end, not only did Gu Weiye not get shot, but he used this oolong incident to hype it up, earning a reputation as a hero by accident.And Cen Xiao, the little helper of a dog, was pushed into the limelight, and was scolded by fans and netizens who didn't understand it as——with ulterior motives...

Withdrawing her thoughts and not thinking about these bad things anymore, Cen Xiao got up and walked to the end of the boarding flow.

Remembering that Shu Lian didn't know that she was going abroad, Cen Xiao sent her a WeChat message: Honey, I'm going abroad for a few days to relax, and I'm about to board the plane. Let's get in touch after returning home.

Shu Lian replied quickly: suddenly decided to go?Why are you telling me now!There are several countries that are not peaceful recently, grandma, which one are you going to?
Cen Xiao handed in her boarding pass and was walking along the boarding passage. Due to the noisy environment, she could only hear the first half of Shu Lian's words clearly.She hurriedly returned a voice message to her: Go to Thailand, don't talk about it, I'm really boarding the plane.Cen Xiao turned off the phone.

Thailand……

Thailand in January is not peaceful!
Standing outside the classroom between classes, Shu Lian with her mobile phone wished she could ask for leave and rush to the airport to bring back this fake reporter who doesn't care about political news!But thinking about it, when she got to the airport, Cen Xiao would have already flown.

So she just prayed silently - nothing will happen to Cen Xiao along the way.

January is the dry season in Thailand, with little precipitation and not hot weather.Cen Xiao, who flew to Chiang Mai from the cold capital, changed his clothes and left the airport, and was attracted by the comfortable local weather.

No special itinerary was arranged.Sleeping in the hotel properly from the night before to noon the next day, after having a sumptuous brunch at the hotel, Cen Xiao put on his camera and started to visit the ancient city.

Except for some incomplete city walls and Buddhist temples in the ancient city of Chiang Mai, other buildings are modern low-rise buildings with a simple and fresh style.

Cen Xiao had a great time shopping, constantly adjusting the camera's value, and took many photos that she thought were good.

According to the guide, the ancient city of Chiang Mai is easy to have the illusion of returning to the motherland because of the large number of Chinese tourists.However, the more she went shopping, the less she realized that the yellow skin she had seen on the street was very limited, most of them were Europeans and Americans wearing shorts and T-shirts.Cen Xiao didn't know why until a few days later.At that time, she just thought jokingly: the competitiveness of the same skin color is getting smaller, maybe later I can really meet a handsome foreign guy.

I didn't expect what it really said.

When Cen Xiao finished taking pictures of a Buddha statue from different angles and turned around, she saw a handsome blond-haired sunny man standing in front of her eyes.

The other party smiled at her, and she smiled back.

The handsome man first talked to Cen Xiao implicitly, and finally invited him in English in a gentlemanly and tactful way: "Is it possible to buy you a drink?"

It's not that she hasn't been accosted by strangers before when she went out, but before, she focused all her attention on Ye Chengjin, no matter how eloquent the other party was, she would always reject him.But now she is free.If it's just a drink, she doesn't need to refuse it rudely.

"Yeah, I'd love to." Cen Xiao responded happily.
