Chapter 218 – Being Jealous
At night by the Houhai Lake, there was a huge flow of people.
In this vast sea of people, Lu Chen and Chen Fei’er walked side by side, bathing in the cool evening breeze, strolling along the bank of the lake.
Both of them have been properly dressed. Chen Fei’er, in particular, was so completely different from her usual image that none of the pedestrians and tourist passing by in a hurry could recognize her.
For star artists, it was really not easy to stroll around and go shopping like ordinary people.
There were many couples on the shore of the lake, either holding hands or hugging each other on the grass or benches. It seemed that there was a sweet smell in the air.
In contrast, Lu Chen and Chen Fei’er, who kept a half-foot distance, appeared a little different.
Chen Fei’er didn’t speak. She seemed to be thinking about something.
Lu Chen wanted to find something to talk about, but he didn’t know what to say.
After all, in the restaurant, he took the initiative to confess to the Heavenly Queen next to him. He was still a little nervous.
Just then, Chen Fei’er suddenly stopped.
She stood in front of an advertising screen.
This kind of two-meter-wide LED advertising screen was very common in parks, scenic spots, and business districts. It mainly displays daily life information, such as traffic, weather and so on, as well as commercial and public service advertisements.
The scene on the advertising screen, which stood on the edge of a lakeside mall, has just changed. The brightly-colored screen showed three beautiful girls in their white school uniform snuggling up to each other and smiling sweetly to everyone.
In the middle of the screen, in an oil paintbrush style, outline the eye-catching title – MSN. “Not Yet Lovers”!
This was the first music video of Flying Stone’s female group, MSN girl group. It was also the promotional film of their debut album. Starting from the day before yesterday, it first appeared in various media in Beijing and launched a massive pre-launch campaign.
Their singing voice came out from the speakers hidden in the pillar of the advertising screen, and into people’s ears!
“Why is it that I can talk to you all night long? Why is it that when we just say goodbye, I miss you already? Among all of my friends, you are the most special one. The one that makes me feel warm and close.”
“Why do you care about who I go shopping with? Why do you worry when someone shows interest in me? You say you treat me a little different than everyone else. But you don’t tell me in what way.”
“More than friends, but not yet lovers. I feel so sweet but anxious, happy but confused. What will happen to us in the future?”
“I can’t wait to know the answer.”
The speaker attached to the advertising screen was very ordinary. It just sounds loud.
But the beautiful melody, sweet with a little bit of sad singing, coupled with the delicate and beautiful picture made many passers-by and Chen Fei’er stop to listen and watch the music video of “Not Yet Lovers”.
In the screen, three girls were studying, running and playing on a campus. Then Mu Xiaochu, the female lead, bumped into Lu Chen, who was a senior, and a hazy and beautiful pure love unfolded.
Fang Hui, the music video director, could be said to have handled the scenes very delicately. The constantly switching scenes made people feel as if they have returned to the campus of their youth. She showed the subtle feelings between the male lead and female lead just right.
Especially the female lead’s pursuit and longing for beautiful love. It made people unconsciously palpitate with excitement.
Lu Chen was okay. As the male lead, he has seen it several times.
But Chen Fei’er was fascinated about it.
For some reason, Lu Chen, standing beside Chen Fei’er, seemed to feel the palpitation of the Heavenly Queen’s heart.
Lu Chen could not help reaching out his hand and held her hand.
Chen Fei’er’s hand was a little cold, and her spring onion-like fingers1were well-proportioned and as exquisite as jade.
When Lu Chen held her hand, her hand trembled, but she didn’t struggle away.
The two watched the video together.
The end of the music video was the scene of Lu Chen and Mu Xiaochu staring at each other affectionately.
Mu Xiaochu’s pureness and loveliness, and Lu Chen’s charm and handsomeness were completely unfolded in this scene!
Chen Fei’er blinked her eyes and said, “Let’s go……”
The two continued to walk, but he didn’t let go of her hand he was holding.
As they were walking, Chen Fei’er suddenly asked, “The music video was shot well. Do you often get in touch with Xiaochu?”
She turned and looked at Lu Chen. Her eyes, which were hidden behind her glasses, were shining like bright stars!
Lu Chen said: “Rarely, I treat her as my younger sister.”
Chen Fei’er bit her lip and said, “Do you know? I am actually 28 years old this year. In order to make an early debut, my agent helped me change my household registration and falsely reported that I was two years older.”
Lu Chen: “Uh……”
“What uh?”
Chen Feier was embarrassed and annoyed: “if I had known, I wouldn’t have told you. Only few people knew about this!”2
She tried to break free from Lu Chen’s hand.
“Sister Fei, I was wrong!”
Lu Chen quickly held her hand, stopped and stared at her, and said, “Actually, I don’t think age is a problem. Whether you are 30 or 28, I like you all the same!”
Lu Chen’s eyes were gentle and sincere.
He knew that Chen Fei’er had a knot in her heart on the issue of age. After all, there was a gap between them.
But he never thought age would be an issue.
Moreover, Lu Chen also knew that Chen Fei’er has never been afraid to talk about her age. She took the initiative to tell him this secret, it was undoubtedly trust, and……
Now that the relationship between the them has finally made a breakthrough, Lu Chen didn’t want to let go and return back to the way it was before!
He really liked Chen Fei’er.
Chen Fei’er struggled several times to no avail, and her pretty face was flushed with shame.
There was a touch of softness in her eyes as she said, “That’s very nice of you to say. However, I’m an old woman. You may say you like me now, but you might regret it in the future.”
Lu Chen smiled wryly: “How can you be an old woman? Then what do I have to do, Sister Fei, so that you can believe me? “
To be honest, let alone 30 or 28, no one would doubt if someone said that Chen Fei’er was 22.
In the eyes of many fans, Chen Fei’er, who has been in the business for more than ten years, was a beautiful young lady!
Lu Chen thought, Chen Fei’er wouldn’t be jealous of Mu Xiaochu, right?
The thought made him a little pleased with himself and even more reluctant to let go.
Narcissism + shame!
Chen Fei’er gave up struggling. After thinking about it seriously, she said, “Let me go first. Let’s take it slowly.”
After all, she wasn’t a teenage girl and wouldn’t be easily moved by sweet words. Even if her heartstrings were touched, she was still reserved and unwilling to open her heart completely.
Lu Chen said, “All right.”
He reluctantly let go of Chen Fei’er’s hand, like a child who had lost his beloved toy.
Of course, he intentionally overacted a little bit.
Chen Fei’er couldn’t help but giggle. She reached out her hand and put her hand around Lu Chen’s arm: “Let’s go.”
Lu Chen asked, “Where are we going?”
Chen Fei’er tilted her head and said, “This place is very close to the bar street, right? Let’s go to Forget Worries Bar.”
Lu Chen: “Uh……”
Chen Feier glanced at him: “Is it not possible?”
Lu Chen said with a smile, “Of course, it’s possible. I’ll buy you a glass of Burning. That’s David’s signature.”3
Chen Fei’er nodded and said, “From now on, if there is no one else around, don’t call me Sister Fei.”
Lu Chen was stupefied, then smiled and said, “Okay. Fei’er.”
Chen Fei’er bit her lip and smiled too.
Although they didn’t directly make it clear, they both knew that their relationship had made a breakthrough.
It could never go back to the way it used to be.
When they arrived to Forget Worries Bar, it was already past 9 p.m.
Although it wasn’t the weekend, the business of Forget Worries Bar was still very hot. There were basically no seats available on the first floor. Even the front of the bar4was surrounded by a lot of customer.
Everyone drinking and chatting, listening to the singers singing on the stage. It was still the atmosphere Lu Chen was familiar with.
He took Chen Fei’er and squeezed to the front of the bar, and said to David, who was too busy, “Brother David, give me two glasses of Burring!”
David took a look at Lu Chen and was suddenly stupefied – this guy looks a little familiar, but he sounds even more familiar!
“OMG!”
He quickly recognized Lu Chen and said, “Lu Chen. What are you doing here? Hahaha!”
The fake foreigner roared with laughter, and said loudly to the customers in the bar: “Everyone, let me tell you a good news. our Small Boss Lu, Lu Chen, is here. Everyone, let’s welcome him!”
Lu Chen owns 5% of the shares of Forget Worries Bar, which was also his last link with Forget Worries Bar.
Speaking of which, Lu Chen hasn’t been back for a long time.
“Lu Chen?”
Hearing David’s shout, the regular customers present could not help smiling in surprise and stood up one after another.
“You haven’t been here for a long time!”
“What day is it today? Which way is the wind blowing?”
“Lu Chen, we all miss you very much!”
“Sing a song. A new song!”
Lu Chen hurriedly turned around and waved, “Hello, everyone. Long time no see!”
The quality of the customers in Forget Worries Bar was very high. Whether it was the old customers or the new customers, many of them greeted Lu Chen friendlily and warmly. There were not many onlookers, only a few customers came to ask for an autograph and a group photo.
He met the request of the customers.
Lu Chen was already a legend in Forget Worries Bar and Houhai circle.
But no one knew that the woman in a long dress next to Lu Chen was the real superstar!
Only David looked at Chen Fei’er. He asked cautiously, “Lu Chen, this beautiful lady is not your sister too, right?”
Last time when Lu Chen brought Lu Xi to Forget Worries Bar for the first time, David regarded her as Lu Chen’s girlfriend.
He still remembered the lesson.
Lu Chen said with a smile, “She is also my sister!”
David couldn’t help rolling his eyes. “May I ask, Mr. Lu Chen, how many sisters do you have?”
While he was talking with Lu Chen, he also skillfully prepared a glass of Burning and deliver it in front of Chen Fei’er.
“Beautiful and charming lady, please allow me to treat you to a glass of Burning made by myself!”
As he said that, he put his left hand on his chest and made an elegant gentleman’s salute.
Chen Fei’er said with a smile, “Thank you.”
She picked up her glass and took a sip. At the same time, she glanced at Lu Chen and smiled.
As if to say – he’s a lot better at coaxing women than you are!
Lu Chen smiled bitterly.
