Chapter 39
39
After returning home, Guan Zhiyi took a shower and went to sleep under the blanket. However, she couldn't sleep soundly tonight. She was awakened by a dream at 3:00 am. When she woke up, her mind was filled with unspeakable images of herself and Qi Chengyan that appeared on her dream.
And it’s even more exaggerated than yesterday’s dream...
What is she thinking about! ! !
Guan Zhiyi covered her head with a blanket. She is really good, when she secretly liked him before, she didn't think anything. Yet now when she wanted to keep a distance from him, her mind is suddenly filled with these colorful things!

After tossing and turning for most of the night, it was already ten in the morning when she woke up again.
Guan Zhiyi got up from the bed and dazedly went to the dining room to find water to drink. After drinking the water, she went back to her bed, and reached out to take her phone on the bedside.
She unlocked it and found a bunch of missed calls.
According to her past experience, this situation is definitely not a good sign. Guan Zhiyi immediately got out of the bed again and clicked on WeChat——
Liu Yun: [Are you up? Call me back quickly, you and Xiao Ran were photographed.]
Xiao Ran: [I didn't know there were people following me secretly yesterday. Don't panic, everyone is also there in the gathering, it’ll be easy to clarify.]
Zhao Mingming: [Didn't you go back by yourself last night, how did it become Xiao Ran who send you? What??]
Maomao: [Sister, are you up, Do you want me to go to your apartment to check on you?]
Song Qiaofei: [Sister, I've been scrolling through your series of gossip for some time now, hurry up and tell me what's going on!]
Guan Zhiyi: "......"
On the other side, a luxurious business car was driving on the road.
When the light turned red, the assistant on the passenger side turned around and handed the ipad in his hand to the person in the back seat, "President Qi, this news came out an hour ago, It's ranked first on hot search now, do you want to take a look."
Qi Chengyan took it indifferently, he stared at the topic with the word "explosive" in it.
#XiaoRanGuanZhiyi #
When he clicked on it, a nine frame of pictures that were taken by paparazzi accompanied with a passionate explanation appeared right before his eyes.
"Last night, Xiao Ran was photographed going out to eat hot pot with Guan Zhiyi, then after eating hot pot they went to the underground garage together, during which they talked, laughed and behaved intimately, in the end, Xiao Ran personally sent Guan Zhiyi home. In this regard, some netizens said that the two are actually very good match in terms of their appearance! But some fans said they still hope that Xiao Ran can focus on his career. In short, everything will depend on the official announcement ~"
Qi Chengyan face turned cold, he then clicked into the comment section:
[I thought we agreed not to form any cp outside of the drama? Where's your face, Guan Zhiyi?]
[Are they holding hands?!]
[Xiao Ran is pulling Guan Zhiyi's arm ah ah ah ah]
[Our brother is not dating okay, he just has the decency to send people home, can't you tone down your marketing stunt.]
[I'm still living in "Dawn and the Wild" and haven't come out, Zhaoyang Shen Sibo! Let's be together for this old man! !]
[They have a sad ending in the drama, but a happy ending in reality, good for them!]
[You guys shut up, our brother Ran would never like her.]
[Sisters, don’t put down** my goose like that okay? Give some face for yourself.]
(**Specifically refers to the woman affixed to the loving man with property for their use.)
[Ahhhhhhh, my cp is finally sugary~]
[Can the CP fan Immerse yourself in your own small circle?]
[The shooting period of "Dawn and the Wild" is almost four months, and during those four months, they are acting in love for 12 to 24 hours everyday. Is it possible to not have any feelings for each other?]
_____
The comments section was turning into a fighting area. Qi Chengyan looked at the sentence "They're acting in love for 12 to 24 hours everyday. Is it possible to not have any feelings for each other?" and was silent for a long time.
In this stuff, can the romance in drama also turn into reality?
"President Qi, Liu Yun has just called me. She said that Xiao Ran's side will send a clarification notice." The assistant glanced at the boss in the rearview mirror.
Qi Chengyan said coldly,"Did Liu Yun say why it was Xiao Ran who sent her home yesterday."
Assistant: "This... she said that the car driven by Mao Mao broke down. At that time, Xiao Ran drove by himself, so he send her."
"Um."
Qi Chengyan put away the ipad and didn't say anything else. Just then, Guan Yuanbai called.
Qi Chengyan picked up, "Hello."
"I still can't get through Xiaowu's phone call, what's the matter with the news on the Internet?"
Qi Chengyan's heart was vaguely irritated, "They ate hot pot together yesterday."
"If they want to eat hot pot, they can just eat hot pot. Why couldn't they go their own way after eating?"Guan Yuanbai said discontentedly,"Is Xiao Ran not aware that he is always being followed by reporters behind him, why did he still send her home? He really didn't think first before doing something. Also about Zhiyi, what car--"
"Xiaowu's assistant car broke down."
"If it's broken, she can wait for a while, we can send her another one." Guan Yuanbai paused and suddenly said, "Wait! They are walking so close, are they really in love?"
Qi Chengyan was stunned, listened to what Guan Yuanbai said, "They've been stuck together during filming, didn't Xiao Ran also say that he was interested in her last time? Is it possible that he's trying to sound out me before?"
Qi Chengyan looked out of the car window, his eyes suddenly sank,"Xiao Wu has a sense of measure. Filming is filming, reality is reality. She can tell the difference. Furthermore, she should also understand how much of an impact a relationship with Xiao Ran has on her career ......"
"You've got a point."Guan Yuanbai interrupted, "But the other party is Xiao Ran, don’t you know how many girls are obsessed with him? A young girl can't resist that kind of appearance."
"......"
"No, I'll continue to call Xiao Wu, I have to ask her about it."
Guan Yuanbai said that and then disconnected the call.
Qi Chengyan listened to the busy tone on the phone, he didn't put his hand down for a while.
"They're acting in love for 12 to 24 hours everyday. Is it possible to not have any feelings for each other?"
"I just think she's cute, my type of girl."
"But the other party is Xiao Ran, don’t you know how many girls are obsessed with him? A young girl can't resist that kind of appearance."
These voices were suddenly confusingly intermingled in his head. Qi Chengyan thought about it for a moment, yet he still felt like he couldn't make sense out of these words.
On one hand, he thought that Guan Zhiyi was very sensible about her acting career, and on the other hand, he also thought that the two people's mannerisms were very close with each other……
Is that little girl really interested in Xiao Ran?
Qi Chengyan put down the phone, his annoyance became more and more obvious. He didn't even know how to describe his feelings at this moment, just the thought that she might like someone, that she would talk hand in hand with that person in the future, act cute, and so on. It was as if his heart was crushed with a heavy stone, he was so suffocated that he couldn't speak.
The assistant sitting in front saw that he didn't have much reaction, and started to talk about the next matter, "President Qi, this is a document related to the meeting later, you can take a look."
As a result, after finished speaking, he found that his own boss did not pay attention to him.
"President Qi?"
Qi Chengyan glanced at him, "Key point."
"Huh?"
"The meeting is in an hour, and you brought such a big stack over?" Qi Chengyan leaned back, coldness bubbling all over him, "Is it because I usually condone you too much that you can't even sort out the main points."
The assistant's breath stalled, he hurriedly put the documents back,"No, no, I'll list them right away!"
Qi Chengyan looked out the window, his eyebrows was pressed close.
It's uncomfortable, he feels uncomfortable from head to toe!

A clarification announcement from the two companies soon came out, explaining that it was actually a dinner with several actors from the drama, and later, Xiao Ran gave Guan Zhiyi a ride because of her car. Everyone is good friends, nothing more.
Once the announcement came out, the two sides of fans are naturally cheering and clearing their relationship. However, a large number of cp fans and netizens who watched the drama don't think the same. Both of them are on the rise, so even if they are in love, they will not make it public. They said that this kind of clarification announcement was too fake.
In short, they are happy to see the gossip between Xiao Ran and Guan Zhiyi.
So a few days later, after the Starlight ceremony issued the attendance of Xiao Ran and Guan Zhiyi as guests, netizens were bursting with anticipation. This starlight festival is a festival initiated by several video websites. Many celebrities will be invited to participate. There will be an awards ceremony and many other programs, but the important thing is that you can see the two people in the same frame!
The Starlight Ceremony soon happened. On that day, Guan Zhiyi and her team arrived backstage early to make the final preparations before the show in the dressing room.
"How is Zhiyi's side? Is it ready to go out." Not long after, a staff member came in and asked.
Liu Yun: "It's ready, we're going out now."
"Okay, Xiao Ran is already at the entrance, when the time comes you two enter together."
Liu Yun glanced at the staff and immediately understood, these days Xiao Ran and Guan Zhiyi's popularity is in full swing, appearing together at this time will undoubtedly be another highlight of the ceremony. And for the agents who fancy their own actors' becoming the talk of town, she is naturally happy to see this kind of thing.
"Yes, I understand."
"Please speed up faster."
"Okay."
Today's Starlight ceremony was considered to be the first major ceremony that Guan Zhiyi participated in after she became popular, hence Liu Yun paid great attention to it. The dresses borrowed from the brand have been selected very carefully.
When Guan Zhiyi finished her makeup and stood in front of everyone, she really made the staff member's eyes who were accustomed to watching celebrities shine brightly.
Guan Zhiyi's skin is particularly fair, a rare cold white skin, so this light blue pearl long dress on her body perfectly matches her skin tone. Her dress today is not her usual cute style. The high slits on the side make her pair of long legs visible, which maximizes her figure advantage.
With the slightly curly shoulder-length hair, clear nude makeup, she is a perfect blend of innocent and enchanting beauty, one point more is too much, one point less is missing, it's just right!
"Zhiyi, you look beautiful today." When she walked to the entrance, she met Xiao Ran who was waiting for her.
Guan Zhiyi smiled at him, "Xiao teacher is also very handsome today."
Xiao Yan gave a tsk,"What you said is so insincere."
"You also said the same lines as before ah."
Xiao Ran shook his head, "Did I? But I'm serious, you are especially beautiful today."
Guan Zhiyi glanced at him, "I won't talk to you again, it's time to go.”
Then, the two were guided by the staff to their seats together. The fans had been waiting for the two to appear early on, when they saw the two of them come out together, a scream erupted.
Guan Zhiyi beckoned towards her fans direction, then looked at the ground and walked cautiously. Her high heels are a bit too high today.
The top two rows of the ceremony are set up with round tables, each table will have stars and upper level guests. Guan Zhiyi knew that there were live cameras at this time, thus even though her high heels were a little uncomfortable to walk on, her expression was still very well controlled.
Until - as she walked towards the chair with her name on it, she saw that Qi Chengyan was sitting on that same table.
Guan Zhiyi was walking while looking at him and losing her concentration, her high heel happened to pass a small bump, she was almost injured. Fortunately, Xiao Ran, who was by her side, supported her, "Is everything all right?"
Three steps away from them, Qi Chengyan also stretched out his hand. Guan Zhiyi glanced at him then shook her head towards Xiao Ran,"I'm fine."
"You sit." Xiao Ran helped her pull out the seat.
Guan Zhiyi said thank you and obediently sat down in the seat.
"Dawn and the Wild" is the most popular drama of this year, it has made a lot of money for several major video sites. At this time at their table, in addition to the four leading actors, also sat several presidents of the festival organizer. As for why Qi Chengyan is here, if he wanted to come, he must be placed in the best position, so it is normal for him to sit at this table.
Hence Guan Zhiyi didn't think too much about it and just calmly looked at the camera.
Today's ceremony was broadcasted live, the big screen on the stage is displaying the live footage. After Xiao Ran and Guan Zhiyi sat down, the camera naturally turned to them. The fans in the arena screamed, and the people watching the live broadcast were also frantically commenting.
[Damn! ! My Ran brother is so handsome! !]
[Guan Zhiyi won today, she's so beautiful, isn’t she?]
[She is very suitable for this color, the whole person is glowing brightly]
[The two good looking person, please be together]
[Xiao Ran helped her just now! Huh! There is something fishy!]
[Eh? Is that a flash of Qi Chengyan just now ...... my President Qi aahhh]
[Yes! So I'm not the only one who saw it! My husband just left the screen after two seconds! He is handsome!]
[Holy shit? Is Guan Zhiyi sitting between her two rumored boyfriends?]
____
The live camera will only show the artist, for such high-level people like Qi Chengyan, they are naturally careful not to let him be shown on the screen. The two seconds just now was actually meant to shoot Guan Zhiyi, but the angle is not right and they accidentally brought him to it.
So afterwards, even though many people in the comments were begging for his shots, the camera was not brought to his side.
"Did you hurt your foot just now?" When Guan Zhiyi was sitting upright, Qi Chengyan's voice came to her ears.
She glanced at the live screen, at this time, the screen was broadcasting someone else, so she turned her head and said, "No."
"Your heel is too high, be careful." Qi Chengyan said.
Guan Zhiyi nodded, then said,"It's such a coincidence... you are also attending this event today."
Qi Chengyan eyed the stage while saying lightly,"It's not a coincidence, I came here to see you."
