Chapter 376: Chapter 316: The Rise – 152_3
Zhou Lan said, "He didn’t privately message you to invite you because he was afraid you’d feel obligated and wouldn’t feel comfortable declining. But everyone in the entertainment circle knows his character. He’s never the type to deliberately set traps for others, and you get along well with him personally."
Zhou Yun nodded.
At this moment, her phone rang. It was Song Chi arriving.
Zhou Yun said, "I’m going out to pick him up."
"Go ahead," Zhou Lan said disdainfully.
Zhou Yun went out to bring Song Chi in.
They ran into someone in the hallway who recognized them and screamed in surprise.
This was the strongest reaction they’d encountered these past few days.
Song Chi gestured ’shh’ to her with his finger.
The female fan, unable to contain her excitement, said, "I really like you guys. Can I get a photo with you?"
Song Chi and Zhou Yun exchanged a look.
It was Zhou Yun who nodded and said, "Sure, no problem."
The female fan excitedly took out her phone and switched to selfie mode.
Song Chi and Zhou Yun stood on either side behind the female fan and took a group photo.
After the photo was taken, the female fan, hardly able to conceal her excitement, said, "Good luck, I really support you!"
Zhou Yun smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you."
The two returned to the private room.
Zhou Lan stood up, smiled at Song Chi, and said, "I’m sorry for the inconvenience, making Brother Chi come over so late at night, I really feel bad about it."
Song Chi smiled and said, "We’re the ones who should be sorry, for suddenly causing you trouble."
Zhou Lan showed an accommodating attitude very different from when she faced Zhou Yun and said, "It’s fine, we were well-prepared. It’s not much of a hassle."
Zhou Yun: "..."
The three of them sat down.
Zhou Lan asked, "Did you just finish work? Do you want something to eat?"
Song Chi: "I’ve already eaten."
The two spoke very politely to each other.
Zhou Yun, with hands in her pockets, asked Song Chi, "Sister Lan just told me that Lew Yuan has invited me to a show. Did he invite you?"
Song Chi nodded and said, "But my schedule doesn’t align, I don’t have the time."
"I’m planning to go." Lew Yuan had helped her a lot back then.
Song Chi nodded and said, "You can trust Lew Yuan’s show. He won’t set any traps for you."
Zhou Yun nodded.
Song Chi added, "Today, there were a lot of reporters camping at the set entrance and also at the hotel, so there will probably be quite a few reporters when I head back."
"Then let them take pictures," said Zhou Yun, who was psychologically prepared. "But are we going back to the hotel together later?"
Song Chi said, "Let’s go separately. I’ve already notified the hotel staff. If we show up together, they will probably try everything to get in tonight."
Zhou Yun sighed and said, "Maybe I should just change hotels then."
"That works," Song Chi nodded. "I’ll have Zhang Cong handle it."
Zhou Yun: "I can take care of it myself."
"It’s okay, I’ll switch hotels with you," said Song Chi.
"..."
Zhou Lan put down her chopsticks and said, "Alright, Brother Chi, don’t trouble others any further. Since I’m here, I’ll book a place for you. No need to change hotels. After all, you still have scenes to shoot here. Xiao Yun will not be staying for long. She has to go back soon to prepare for filming, and she promised to go record Lew Yuan’s show. I’ll find a temporary place for you guys for a couple of days. Once Xiao Yun leaves, the reporters won’t be focused on taking photos of you."
Zhou Yun nodded and said, "That’s good."
Song Chi asked, "When are you leaving?"
Zhou Yun turned to look at Zhou Lan.
Zhou Lan immediately checked Zhou Yun’s schedule. To go on Lew Yuan’s show, "she can stay here for three more days."
Zhou Yun asked in surprise, "Just a few days?"
Zhou Lan said, "What did you think?"
Zhou Yun said, "I thought I’d have at least a week."
"That’s a bit too optimistic," she said.
Zhou Yun pouted.
Zhou Lan picked up her phone and said, "I’m going to make a call."
The private room was left to Zhou Yun and Song Chi.
Zhou Yun made a face at Song Chi.
"I was hoping to spend a few more days with you."
After a pause, Song Chi said, "We’ll try to spend a few days together every month in the future."
Zhou Yun smiled bitterly and said, "That sounds difficult. You have to film, and so do I. When we’re not filming, it’s still somewhat manageable, but once we start a project, we’re tied up for months."
Song Chi said, "I’ll accept fewer roles in the future, maybe two movies a year."
Zhou Yun said in surprise, "Can you afford to reduce your filming schedule now?"
