Chapter 111: Chapter 111: The Beginning of the Scandal Eleven o’clock in the morning. Zhou Yun’s phone rang, it was a call from Song Chi. Feeling guilty, Zhou Yun glanced at the cameras in the room before answering the call. "Hello?" Her voice was excessively sweet and artificial, "Brother Chi, why are you calling me?" On the other end, Song Chi was silent for a full ten seconds. "Brother Chi?" Zhou Yun called out again. Finally, there was a response from Song Chi. "Why are you talking like that?" Zhou Yun: "..." She thought, with so many cameras filming, did they really expect her to speak in her usual tone? Wouldn’t Song Chi’s fans beat her up once the show aired? "What’s with the way I’m talking? Don’t I always talk like this?" Zhou Yun hoped Song Chi would catch her hint and play along. Song Chi: "It’s making my hair stand on end." "What do you actually want with me?" Zhou Yun could hardly keep it up. Song Chi: "Let’s have lunch together at noon." "I have work in the afternoon." "I do too, but that doesn’t interfere with lunch, does it?" Zhou Yun: "Then where shall we eat?" Song Chi said, "A friend of mine is cooking, I’ll send you the address later, let’s go to his place." "Huh? To your friend’s house? Is it appropriate for me to go?" In her urgency, Zhou Yun forgot to use her artificial sweet tone. Song Chi: "What’s inappropriate about that, I’ve already informed him." "Oh, okay then." After hanging up, Zhou Yun sent a WeChat message to Song Chi: Don’t expose me on the show! Song Chi replied with three words: Too fake. Zhou Yun snorted lightly and said: You’re the fake one, I’m just this sweet and adorable little fairy. Song Chi: Then what are you afraid I’ll expose? Zhou Yun: I need to maintain my image!!! Song Chi did not reply. Zhou Yun contacted Zheng Xiaojue to tell her she was going out and to coordinate with the driver, then sent a message to Li Yuning, informing her she would be going out. Li Yuning actually already knew about this from the live video feed, her reply was: Okay. On the first day of recording the show, Zhou Yun was supposed to meet Song Chi, and it was Song Chi who took the initiative to invite Zhou Yun for lunch, which was not a requirement of the production team. The production team had only hoped that both parties would meet more often throughout the show, not necessarily from the start. This was something the production team had not anticipated. Zhou Yun changed into a new outfit and left with Zheng Xiaojue. Li Yuning was already downstairs with the cameraman waiting for her. Zhou Yun suddenly paused, remembering something, and asked Li Yuning, "How did you guys come up just now?" Without the password, Li Yuning and her team couldn’t have used the elevator. Li Yuning said with a smile, "Your agent opened the door for us." "Sister Lan? Why didn’t she come up?" Zhou Yun was surprised. "She said she had something else to do and didn’t accompany us up." Zhou Yun breathed a sigh of relief; she had initially thought the security of this building was just for show and that anyone could come up without a password. Li Yuning and one cameraman got into Zhou Yun’s car, while the rest of the team followed in the production team’s van. On the way, Li Yuning suddenly asked, "Xiao Yun, how often do you see Song Chi after you got to know each other?" Zhou Yun was somewhat surprised that Li Yuning would suddenly start a conversation. "Not very often, but not seldom either, we’re both quite busy with work, but occasionally we’d have a meal together." Li Yuning explained with a smile, "I’ll be doing some interviews with you from time to time, some of which may be included in the show if suitable. If it’s all raw footage, some segments might be hard for viewers to understand, leading to misunderstandings." Zhou Yun finally understood. "I saw a lot of mystery and detective novels on your bookshelf, do you usually like to read this genre?" Li Yuning asked. "Yeah." Zhou Yun nodded. Li Yuning said, "It’s quite rare for girls to like mystery and detective novels, how did you become interested in them?" "Actually, it’s not that rare, there are many girls around me who read mystery and detective novels, it’s just that they seldom tell guys that they like this genre." Li Yuning: "If you were asked to recommend three mystery and detective novels to the viewers, which ones would you choose?" Zhou Yun thought for a moment and said, "The first I would definitely recommend is Keigo Higashino’s ’White Night.’ Everyone’s probably heard of it, and it’s a pretty accessible entry point for those who haven’t read detective novels before, plus it’s really good." "The second would be Na Duo’s ’Nineteen Years of Murder.’ This one might not be as well known, but I’ve seen many book recommendations say things like ’once you flip the first page, you can’t put it down.’ That’s pretty exaggerated of course, but this book is indeed that captivating. It has one of the most gripping starts I’ve ever read, making me eager to keep reading, and the story is well written too." "The third would be Zijin Chen’s ’Long Night Hard to Bright,’ which is a bit heavier, but very impactful, the kind that lingers with you for a week." Li Yuning was astonished. She hadn’t expected Zhou Yun to answer so readily. This indicated that Zhou Yun truly read these books and it wasn’t just for show. Nowadays, many artists claim to be reading books, but it’s often just a facade, a persona of being literate. This might sound offensive, but most artists in the entertainment industry did not do well in their studies and were not the type to enjoy reading, so how could they suddenly develop a love for books later in life? "People are probably a bit curious, you’re a top graduate from B University, why did you choose to become an artist in the entertainment industry?" Li Yuning asked the question she really wanted to ask. Lost in thought for a moment, Zhou Yun smiled, shook her head, and said, "Some personal reasons." The interview ended there. Song Chi called, asking, "Have you left yet?" "I’m on the way." Zhou Yun said, "Are you there already?" Song Chi said, "No, I’m on the way too." "Then why..." Zhou Yun was about to retort with "Then why the hurry" when she suddenly remembered the camera was rolling. She changed tack and gently reminded him, "Then you should take it slow, don’t hurry, I’ll still be a while." Song Chi: "...ugh." He hung up the call. Zhou Yun: "..." Inside, she cursed: Damn bastard. Not even a friend would be willing to go along with such a small thing. Zhou Yun belatedly realized that there must also be cameras following Song Chi. Did his expression of disgust get caught on camera too? Zhou Yun couldn’t help but worry. Arriving at Song Chi’s friend’s building, Zhou Yun didn’t rush upstairs but first asked Song Chi: Are you there yet? If Song Chi wasn’t there yet, it would be awkward for her to go up rashly. It wasn’t a restaurant, but Song Chi’s friend’s place. Song Chi replied: I’m here, are you here yet? Zhou Yun: Just got to the building. Song Chi: I’ll come down to get you.
