Chapter 182: 182 I miss you so much
In a certain country in Europe, inside a restaurant filled with exotic charm, a group of photographers, with cameras of all sizes, were focused on a table in the middle, where seven or eight people were seated.
Outside the restaurant, many foreigners stopped to watch, and some domestic tourists, through the glass, were taking pictures with their phones.
They were filming a variety show here, and those seated at the middle table were stars from back home, eating and chatting away.
Finally, after filming a segment, the director announced a break before continuing. Some staff members brought over lunch boxes for the photographers, who squatted on the side and started eating.
The seven or eight people at the middle table also relaxed, some chatted idly, others ate, and some touched up their makeup.
“Jinxuan, what are you messing with?” one of the older female artists asked Bai Jinxuan, who was sitting beside her, “You’ve been at it all day. It’s just adding a friend, why is it so troublesome?”
Bai Jinxuan turned her phone screen towards her and said, “Sister Hu, why are you peeking at other people’s phones?”
Sister Hu said with a laugh, “How am I peeking? You turned the screen towards me; I didn’t mean to look.”
At that moment, another man, in his thirties, chimed in, “Sister Hu, don’t you go online normally? Haven’t you heard about Jinxuan publicly confessing to a man recently?”
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
Sister Hu replied, “Of course I know, I’m not that clueless about the internet. But what does that have to do with this?”
The man explained, “It’s like this: Jinxuan left a QQ number on Weibo to find someone, and now a lot of people are adding her QQ and sending loads of verification messages, so she needs to check each one to confirm their identity.”
Enlightened, Sister Hu said, “I see, you should have just said so. What’s so difficult about that?”
Then, with renewed curiosity, she asked, “Jinxuan, is this thing real, or is it just hype? I can ask that, right? If it’s inconvenient, never mind.”
The others looked over, clearly curious about the matter.
“It’s real.” Bai Jinxuan’s eyes never left her phone as her fingers kept tapping the screen.
“It’s not hype?”
Bai Jinxuan replied, “I would never use such tactics for hype; it doesn’t bring any benefit to an idol like me.”
“So, the rumors about you being under house arrest are also true?”
Bai Jinxuan finally looked up from her phone and said, “That’s false, I don’t know who spread those rumors, but our company is preparing to send legal letters and sue those slanderers.”
Sister Hu said, “I support you. Some people online are too much. They need to be taught a lesson. To be deterred.”
“Thank you, Sister Hu.”
Bai Jinxuan continued to go through messages on her phone, not knowing how many validation messages she had looked at from last night until now. Except for when filming and unable to check her phone, she spent the rest of the time looking through those messages, until her eyes grew weary.
Sometimes, after a verification message popped up, she needed a few seconds just to make out the words on the screen.
She used to wish for as many fans as possible, meaning she was more successful.
Now, she wished for as few fans as possible, so there wouldn’t be so many adding her QQ. She even wasn’t sure whether she might accidentally reject a verification message from Chen Xu.
After rejecting another one, she opened the next message and glanced at it, her subconscious almost pressing reject.
Suddenly, she realized, her hand froze, trembling so much that she almost dropped the phone.
Her heart pounded wildly, and her ears buzzed; the words before her seemed incredibly foreign at that moment.
She steadied herself and looked closely, finally recognizing them.
The three answers on the screen were Xuri Supermarket. Yaoyao. I don’t know either.
For a moment, she was filled with an immense sense of happiness. Her hands trembling, she triple-checked and accepted the friend request.
Then, she opened her friends list, and seeing a new contact appear, the fears, worries, doubts, and grievances of the past several days burst forth at once. She leaned over the table and began to cry.
The others were startled. Sister Hu patted her on the back, saying, “What’s wrong, child? You were fine just a moment ago, and now you’re suddenly crying like this.”
The others looked at each other, equally puzzled.
At this moment, Fangfang and two assistants, seeing her in this state, quickly negotiated with the director and took Bai Jinxuan back to the hotel first.
Sister Hu and a few others were left discussing among themselves.
The man who had spoken earlier said, “I guess it definitely has something to do with that man from the rumors.”
“No way, it all looks like a publicity stunt to me. It’s far too bizarre,” another younger woman said.
“No, no, there are some things you can’t just act out,” Sister Hu shook her head and said, as she was an experienced actress and could tell the difference.
And the man said, “Besides, she has no need to act like this in front of us, we’re not on camera.”
A girl who hadn’t spoken until now said, “What kind of man do you think it could be, to have her so obsessed? She seems ready to throw everything away.”
“I don’t think it’s someone from the industry, otherwise there would be no need to look for him in this way.”
“It’s probably someone she knew before she became famous. A star’s romance with an ordinary person, wow, that’s so romantic.”
“Being young is wonderful,” Sister Hu sighed.
After a while, the director announced that filming would continue, even without one person, it wasn’t impossible to shoot. It was just that Bai Jinxuan’s scenes would be reduced later on, which didn’t pose a problem.
…
Returning to the hotel, Bai Jinxuan’s emotions had calmed down somewhat. Sitting in a chair, holding her phone, she took a deep breath, preparing to send a message to a friend nicknamed Xu, her finger hanging over the screen for a good while without moving.
“What time is it back home?” she suddenly asked Fangfang outside the door.
Fangfang thought for a moment, then said, “It’s probably around eleven at night.”
She hesitated, “At this time, he might already be asleep, better wait till tomorrow.”
In fact, what she was more worried about was that Chen Xu might be with his girlfriend at this moment. If she sent the message and his girlfriend saw it, then everything would be ruined.
Ding-dong.
Just as she was about to put away her phone, she heard a notification sound, her heart skipped a beat, and she picked up the phone to see a message from Xu, “Jinxuan, you’re too silly.”
Her tears welled up again, it was him, it was definitely him.
“Jinxuan—” Fangfang looked at her worriedly from the side.
She wiped her eyes with her hands, saying, “I’m fine, I’m just, just too happy.”
…
Back in China, in his rented room, Chen Xu sat in a chair with his phone on the table in front of him, the QQ chat page open.
He had just finished drinking with Chen Chao, returned to his rented place, was about to grab his clothes for a shower, and out of habit, he opened QQ on his phone, and to his surprise, he’d successfully added Bai Jinxuan as a friend.
His head, slightly dizzy before, became instantly clear. He sat down in the chair, waited for a long time without a message from her, so he sent one.
After a while, she replied, “I thought I’d never see you again.”
“Wait for me,” was the second message.
That wait lasted for over ten minutes.
Originally, he had thought that after getting in touch with Bai Jinxuan, he would be hesitating and nervous. Unexpectedly, as he sat there in the chair, he felt unusually calm.
Then, his phone rang, it was a video call invitation. He straightened his somewhat messy hair in front of the closed laptop screen, wiped the sweat from his face with a tissue, and answered the video call.
The image stuttered for a moment before her face appeared; it wasn’t very clear, but he could still make out her somewhat swollen eyes.
“You’ve gotten thin,” he said, emotion flooding through him, forming those words.
Tears welled up in Bai Jinxuan’s eyes in the video, falling down her cheeks as she fumbled for a tissue, dabbing at her face and sobbing, “I… I just… finished applying… makeup… and now it’s ruined again.”
A lump formed in Chen Xu’s throat as he spoke softly, “It’s okay, I’ve seen you without makeup before.”
Bai Jinxuan in the video broke down in tears again, “Chen Xu, I… I miss you so much.”
