Caught in Affairs with Superstar

Chapter 361: Chapter 312: Rise: 148_3

”It all depends on your attitude,” Zhou Lan said. ”If you insist on involving Yu Zhiyang, he will do it even if he doesn’t want to; don’t forget your own power. Right now, you’re the biggest name in Chengqian Entertainment.”

Yes, ever since she came back with an award from Venice, even Li Ci seemed subtly overshadowed by her.

After all, popularity is one thing, but acceptance within the industry is another.

With the award in hand, she enjoyed a boost in her status.

If it weren’t for that, Zhou Yun couldn’t have, like now, simply decided to take a holiday and run off alone to the city where Song Chi was filming to give him a surprise.

Although she planned to surprise him, Zhou Yun didn’t recklessly go straight to the set.

She booked a room in the hotel where Song Chi was staying, and at night, she messaged him asking: Have you finished work yet?

Song Chi replied: Still at the set. It’s going to be late today, there are two more scenes to shoot tonight.

Zhou Yun said: Alright, send me a message when you are done.

She decided to go out alone for a stroll.

She searched online for nearby places and picked the highest-rated cafe. She put on her backpack, which contained Na Duo’s latest mystery novel, ”I’ve Been to Earth.”

Wearing a mask, baseball cap, and earphones, walking in the night felt fantastic and comfortable.

Especially when her steps synced with the music in her earphones, the feeling was even better.

She arrived at the cafe, ordered a latte, and took a seat in the corner. Since her disguise was effective, no one recognized her.

By eight o’clock, Zhou Yun felt a bit hungry, so she ordered a waffle.

This time, the server who delivered her waffle recognized her.

The server’s face was a picture of surprise, mouth agape.

Seeing this, Zhou Yun put her index finger to her lips, signaling silence.

The server nodded immediately, her expression tinged with excitement.

She whispered, ”I won’t tell anyone!”

Zhou Yun gave her a grateful smile.

But as it turned out, she couldn’t easily trust a promise made by a stranger temporarily met.

Especially when breaking such a promise wouldn’t burden their conscience.

Soon, Zhou Yun noticed an increase in the number of servers looming around her. They didn’t disturb her, but their frequent appearances were abnormal. Zhou Yun knew that probably the entire cafe staff was aware of her presence now. With no choice left, Zhou Yun decided to leave.

Being able to stay in a public space like this for so long as an ordinary person was no small feat. Zhou Yun really enjoyed that feeling.

She walked back toward the hotel.

It was getting late; better to return to the hotel and wait for Song Chi.

...

Meanwhile, on set.

Fan Zhu, who was preparing for the last scene, suddenly overheard ”Zhou Yun” from nearby.

Her ears pricked instantly.

Lately, Zhou Yun was the talk of the crew, any small news about her was discussed by everyone.

On one hand, because Zhou Yun was currently very popular, everyone paid attention.

On the other hand, it’s widely assumed that Zhou Yun was dating Song Chi.

Although the two never admitted anything, nor had any definitive evidence been captured by the media.

People have their instincts.

Besides, being with Song Chi day in and day out, filming together, allowed them to notice many details.

For instance, often hearing Song Chi call someone, the tone and demeanor clearly indicated he was talking to a girlfriend. When they first realized this, they were incredibly surprised. Anyone familiar with Song Chi’s usual demeanor would know how aloof he can be.

He’s always polite but keeps people at a distance.

Rarely could one see a common man’s smile or annoyance on his face, but these moments revealed his warmth as an ordinary person.

Soon someone figured out that the person was Zhou Yun.

Sometimes they heard Song Chi’s assistant, Zhang Cong, reminding him: ”Miss Zhou Yun said you must drink this today, otherwise I can’t report back successfully; I’d just have to say you didn’t drink it.”

Could there be another explanation?

Clearly not.

If Zhou Yun wasn’t Song Chi’s girlfriend, why would Zhang Cong need to report back?

...

”Seems like Zhou Yun came here,” Fan Zhu heard a junior actor whisper.

”Ah? Really? Who told you?” another person asked.
