Chapter 18: Chat up on the Plane

Someone in the crew getting filmed by a hidden camera made Liu Jia'an hit the ceiling.

Today they could secretly film the actor's personal life. What about tomorrow? Would they also leak the clips of his The Line of Life and Death?

On that very day the whole crew began the thorough check, from the filming site to the hotel, even the actors' rest rooms, every single place they could think of. Even a hair hidden in a corner could be smoked out, let alone a hidden camera.

But even so, Liu Jia'an didn't feel any better. And the way he looked at Zhao Qingyuan became unprecedented abnormal.

"Why would you go to Qinghuan's room at late night?!" Liu Jia'an scolded him while eating the canned yellow peach to cool himself off, "Now things have happened. How would you explain yourself?"

No wonder Liu Jia'an would get mad. People loved such sex scandals. They didn't care about the truth at all. They only wanted gossip. The juicier, the better.

Without any evidence, however hard Zhao Qingyuan and Yu Qinghuan tried to explain themselves, people would still remember the scandal today even after a long time.

"Maybe because the security work is too loose." said Zhao Qingyuan casually while collapsing on the bed and staring at the can in Liu Jia'an's hands.

Everyone was afraid of Liu Jia'an, but not him.

"All right, all right!" Liu Jia'an's face turned deathly pale because of anger. He threw the spoon on the ground and shouted, "You are taking the road to ruin! Anyway I am not the one having been filmed by a hidden camera. And I am not the one having been fucked from the back door!"

He even had a lousy choice of words because of furies.

Zhao Qingyuan got all blushed and growled, "Liu Jia'an, watch your language!"

"Eh-hem!" Liu Jia'an also realized his slip of the tongue, and tried to make it up, "I…I also got brainwashed by the media!" After a pause, he kept lecturing Zhao Qingyuan, "Are you afraid now? Even I nearly bought it, let alone others. If you can't handle it properly, you will take the scandal into your grave!"

On thinking of the possible horrible consequences, Zhao Qingyuan shivered subconsciously. And when he was about to say something, Yu Qinghuan who had been keeping silent suddenly cut in, "Well…I remembered something. When Qingyuan went to my room, my camera was on."

In an instant, two pair of shining eyes turned to him at the same time.

Yu Qinghuan explained, "Actually I was practicing the scene I was gonna shoot the next day when Qingyuan came. So the camera was on!"

"Then what are you waiting for?" Liu Jia'an immediately tried to push him out, "Go get it now! See what you have filmed!"

Maybe because Yu Qinghuan was too lucky, the camera was like having been set by someone, the whole scene how they had spent the night in the room was filmed.

After watching the whole piece, Lia Jia'an felt much relieved. He put the camera on the table and said to Zhao Qingyuan, "What are you waiting for? Make a copy and put it on your Weibo!"

Zhao Qingyuan said hum and haw, "But my image…"

If his fans saw that he had begged for a bite of the canned yellow peach, his public image would be totally ruined!

Liu Jia'an rolled his eyes, "Come on! Your public image has already collapsed. Put it on your Weibo now!"

Now the whole Weibo got exploded by Zhao Qingyuan's new update, especially his fans.

It was true they always rooting for Zhao Qingyuan and Yu Qinghuan being a couple, but that was just for kidding. If there was really something between the two, things would be completely different.

[What the hell is going on? Won't our idol stand out and give us an explanation? Is it true between him and Yu Qinghuan?]

[I have already smoked something between them. If he is straight, he would never @Yu Qinghuan this and @Yu Qinghuan that. So it turns out to be true. So gross! Ew! Oh no, I'm gonna throw up!]

[I knew that Yu Qinghuan is an asshole. Our Yuan is an absolute straight dude. When he meets that asshole, things…]

[Stop it! Wish Yuan's company can give us a reasonable reply ASAP! Or I ain't his fan anymore!]

…

Glancing over these comments, the smile on Zhao Qingyuan's face gradually disappeared.

Those people were all his fans, and there were even some IDs he was familiar with, who always left tsundere comments calling him brother Yuan and said they would support him forever no matter what.

But now once he posted the new updates, they all got their faces off.

Those hurtful words like gross and unfollowing him came from their mouths so smoothly. One could not even tell they were ever his huge fans.

It was the first time Zhao Qingyuan didn't add any text when putting the video on Weibo.

He didn't know why he kind of felt a little lost. Was the relationship between the celebrities and fans really so fragile? Even though the thing was not real this time, what if he really did something they hated some day?

He thought his fans would support him unconditionally. But after today, he wasn't sure of it anymore.

The gossip between Zhao Qingyuan and Yu Qinghuan topped the hot search on Weibo early in the morning. Not just Zhao Qingyuan's fans, a lot of netizens were also concerning about this. And now once he posted the whole piece on his Weibo, those who said gays were gross and claimed to unfollow him were totally gone.

And the comments under Zhao Qingyuan's Weibo returned to total harmony.

[I told you they are just friends. The media should take the blame!]

[Yeah, right. Didn't our Yuan have a girlfriend a few years ago?]

[Oh, oh, oh, great! It was fake news. I will re-follow my charming Yuan!]

…

Zhao Qingyuan was a total phone freak. Usually he would have already held his phone and browsed the comments. But now he even had no desire to pick up his phone.

Yu Qinghuan also saw those comments and knew what he was wrestling with.

Actually this was also a reason he dared not to get close to anyone in his previous life. And in this life, he just wanted to distance himself from this circle to be in a relationship.

He really couldn't bear to see Zhao Qingyuan get hurt because of him.

"Get yourself together!" He elbowed Zhao Qingyuan who was crouching in the bed, and then pulled down the screen to show the rest comments, saying, "What you just saw is only a small part of them. Most of your fans still take on your side."

Zhao Qingyuan didn't want to look at it but still raised his head involuntarily…

[So it's not true?! I don't know. I kinda wished it's true…]

[Same here. I also…]

[Am I the only who fancy their canned yellow peach. I searched it on Taobao but got no result.]

[You are not alone. I can tell our Yuan really enjoyed it. I also want it badly, but don't know where to buy it.]

[The media really have no bottom line. Even it's true, so what? It's his choice whether to love a man or a woman. Anyway I'm gonna follow him and be his fan forever!]

Seeing Zhao Qingyuan's face loosened up, Yu Qinghuan added, "Don't give up on those who really love you for that small part of narrow-minded people.]

Zhao Qingyuan didn't say anything with his head down.

And when Yu Qingyuan tried to say something more, he suddenly found that Qingyuan's shoulders were shaking dramatically. So it turned out he was trying to hold back his laughter.

"Qinghuan, you…I'm just not used of you being so serious."

Yu Qinghuan, "…"

If he spent another second to comfort Qingyuan, he would go hit the wall!

Yu Qinghuan then stood up and strode out. When he was about to push the door open, Zhao Qingyuan's voice was heard from behind, "Qinghuan, thank you. I feel much better now."

Yu Qinghuan stopped and responded, "Hm."

And at this time on the other hand, Huo Qu had already got on the plane flying to America. Due to the bad weather, they had to go one week earlier, even leaving him no time to say goodbye to Yu Qinghuan, which made him very upset.

Even though he was wearing that unpleasant expression, among those old men with white beard and white hair, his breathtaking face still was an eye appeal, making Cheng Ya, who went to the World Physics Exchange Meeting with her father, peep at him now and then. Finally she couldn't hold it and move to him for some chat-up lines.

"Hi, I'm Cheng Ya," A girl at her early twenties, the best time of one's life, having a pretty face that no one could resist. She gave him a sweet smile and stretched out her right hand, "So you are Huo Qu? My dad often talks about you at home, saying you are a genius."

Huo Qu cast a glance at her poker-faced, and then turned his face to the other side.

Cheng Ya never expected Huo Qu would ignore her. She was stunned and immediately got blushed of shame.

She was pretty, a princess both at home and in school. Those boys all liked her. And now suddenly she met a guy who totally ignored her, she felt a little offended and also had a special feeling indescribable.

And with that kind of indescribable feeling, she tried to hold back that kind of shameful feeling. So she stood in front of Huo Qu and questioned him, "Why don't you talk to me?"

But this time Huo Qu even didn't looked at her. He just went round her and sat on his own seat.

"Huo Qu!" This time Cheng Ya got really pissed off. Regardless of her pride, she stretched her hand to grab his clothes and said, "You have to explain this before you sit!"

And the luggage in her hand, bang, fell on the floor and nearly hit her own feet.

Huo Qu looked at Cheng Ya who was nearly crying, and then lowered his head to look at the luggage, he then understood what was going on.

So this woman stopped him only wanting him to put her luggage on the rack?

He was in a hurry to sit on his seat and send Yu Qinghuan a message. So he hesitated no more after knowing Cheng Ya's intention and helped her lifted up the luggage and put them on the rack with all the strength he had.

Cheng Ya had been angry with him. But now he even helped her with her luggage though he still didn't talk to her. She immediately turned to be happy. She heard from her dad that Huo Qu was kind of a freak…So he didn't mean to ignore her on purpose. Or maybe because she was too pretty, so he felt too shy to talk to her?

"Huo Qu, thank you!" Cheng Ya blushed, and waved her hand which was still holding a corner of his clothes, "You are so cute."

Huo Qu, "?"

Hadn't he already put away the luggage for her? Why was she still holding his clothes?

He glanced at Cheng Yu blandly and moved his body trying to pull his clothes away from her hand but failed.

What on earth was going on?

Cheng Ya was still nagging by his ear, "Do you feel a little shy? It's OK. I understand. What about we sit together? I'll ask my dad to change his seats with you."

Huo Qu felt more confused. What did she mean changing seats? Why did he have to change the seat?

Seeing that he still remained silent, Cheng Yu was confirmed he was just being shy.

The youngest and most outstanding physicists of Hua Uni. was being shy in front of her!

That kind of cognition made her feel the thrill of conquering. She flattened her hair on the temples with her lips curled up and then tried to tease Huo Qu, "I know you want to sit with me, right? I knew it. And you even helped me with my luggage."

Huo Qu still didn't get what she was trying to say. He was quite anxious because he wanted to go back to his own seat now.

He tried to think of every word Cheng Ya had said and analyze what she was trying to say. And when the word luggage hit his mind, her eyes suddenly shone.

He helped her put away her luggage=she grasped his clothes and wouldn't let go, so…

Huo Qu caught a glimpse of Cheng Ya and then raised his hands to take her luggage from the rack and put it back by her feet, "Here."

Cheng Ya, "…"
