Chapter 387: I Feel So Sorry for You
After Jian Xi got into the bathroom, Qin Muxuan picked up her phone and started to read the comments carefully.
It all began when someone posted anonymously on the forum saying that she was a crew member and that a female celebrity’s patron came to visit her today. She also said that the patron had confessed his love to her on Weibo and that it seemed like the female celebrity had accepted it.
The source even mentioned that not only did the patron come to visit her in the morning, but he also came to pick her up after she finished filming at night. The two of them also spent some sweet time in the lounge.
There weren’t any pictures attached in the post, but the more uncertain it was, the more it was likely to arouse people’s interest.
Someone reposted this article on Weibo, and then some onlookers online speculated that the two people should be Gu Zijin and Qin Xuan according to the recent news. Then another person who also claimed to be a crew member shared a photo. It was a picture of a man’s back, and people could vaguely see that it was the outline of Gu Zijin.
Although that person did not mention Gu Zijin’s name, the netizens were certain that the two people were Gu Zijin and Qin Xuan.
The comments on Weibo were much more reasonable than those of the first time. Qin Muxuan thought that the netizens might also have gotten used to it just like she was.
Qin Muxuan saw that among the comments, there were still a few insults towards her, but she didn’t care. Anyway it wasn’t the first time that she got insulted online.
Qin Muxuan sent a screenshot of the list of the Weibo trending topics to Gu Zijin: You’re the most popular hashtag again!
Gu Zijin replied: Not me. Us.
Qin Muxuan: Why didn’t you have it removed?
Gu Zijin: Why should I have it removed?
Seeing that Gu Zijin replied matter-of-factly, Qin Muxuan rolled her eyes. If you hadn’t been so high-profile, we wouldn’t have become the most popular hashtag. Why couldn’t you just keep a low profile?
Gu Ziang: I never said that I would keep a low profile.
Qin Muxuan was made speechless. Just look at this message of his, she could imagine that Gu Zi was smiling.
Seeing that Qin Muxuan didn’t reply for a long time, Gu Zijin was a little unhappy, and he sent her another message: Since you don’t want to become the most popular hashtag, why don’t you have it removed?
Qin Muxuan: Because I don’t have the money.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Then, she also sent him an Emoji that was a girl looking righteous with her hands on her waist.
Gu Zijin’s lips curved slightly. He felt that both this Emoji and the person who sent him this Emoji were cute.
For a long time Gu Zijin didn’t reply. She thought that she made Gu Zijin speechless. Just as she was about to throw her phone aside unhappily, she received a text message: Gu Zijin transferred 1000000. 00 RMB to your XXXX account at 11:36. Now the total balance of your bank account is 1065252. 66 RMB.
Qin Muxuan’s eyes widened and she counted these zeros carefully, feeling stunned.
Qin Muxuan: Why did you transfer me one million?
Gu Zijin: So you can have the trending topic removed.
Qin Muxuan was speechless.
Qin Muxuan: I was just joking. I’ll transfer it back to you.
Gu Zijin: Take it. It was for Xiaoxin.
Qin Muxuan couldn’t refute it. She planned save the money for Xiaoxin.
Gu Zijin: I’ll drive you to the set tomorrow?
This time, Qin Muxuan replied instantly: Don’t, I don’t want to become the most popular hashtag anymore. I still want to keep a low profile.
Gu Zijin frowned: Why is it that you don’t want us to be seen together?
Qin Muxuan blushed when she saw the word “together”: Who told you that the two of us were together?
Gu Zijin saw that Qin Muxuan obviously didn’t get the point, but his mood was strangely better.
Gu Ziang: Aren’t we together now? Or do you want me to go to your room and to be with you?
Qin Muxuan’s face became even redder. Were they flirting with each other, or was she overthinking it? Qin Muxuan decided to pretend that she didn’t see that message and didn’t reply.
Gu Zijin raised an eyebrow: Are you blushing?
Qin Muxuan completely ignored him.
Gu Zijin curled his lips, as if he could imagine that Qin Muxuan was blushing with anger. He wished that he would rush to Qin Muxuan’s room right now.
Qin Muxuan patted her face to ease her mood and decided not to reply Gu Zijin’s messages. The truth was, she didn’t know what to reply. Qin Muxuan secretly thought that he was really good at saying things to make it too awkward to carry on with the conversation.
Qin Muxuan put down her phone, picked up the script she had brought to the room, and casually flipped through it to get herself familiar with tomorrow’s shoot.
After taking the shower, Jian Xi came out and saw Qin Muxuan sitting on the bed and reading the script seriously.
Jian Xi looked at her watch and realized that it was already twelve o’clock. Jian Xi climbed into bed and pulled the script out of Qin Muxuan’s hand. “It’s late. Stop reading the script. Otherwise, your face will be swollen tomorrow.”
Qin Muxuan didn’t say anything and obediently lay down to sleep.
Jian Xi put down the script and turned off the lights.
In the darkness, Qin Muxuan didn’t feel like sleeping.
She suddenly remembered something and asked, “Jian Xi, do you still have my medicine?”
Jian Xi let out an “Mhmm” sleepily. Then she reacted and sat up. She looked at Qin Muxuan worriedly, “You relapsed again? Are you okay? Is it serious?”
Qin Muxuan knew that Jian Xi would react that way, so she sighed helplessly and explained, “I’m alright. Just look at me, aren’t I doing well? I went to the Gu Family’s mansion last time and I found out something, and then I felt a little uncomfortable, but I got better soon.”
Jian Xi was still worried. “I’ve your medicine, but do you need to go and see the doctor?”
Qin Muxuan shook her head. “No, I seldom get sick after I came back from abroad.”
Jian Xi was a little relieved and nodded. “That’s good. I’ll take the medicine to you tomorrow. If you feel uncomfortable again, you’ll tell me. Don’t hide it from me!”
Qin Muxuan smiled, “I won’t ever hide it from you.”
“Does Gu Zijin know about it?” Jian Xi asked.
Qin Muxuan shook her head. “No. I haven’t told him that.”
Jian Xi was silent. She knew full well what Qin Muxuan’s life was like in the past four years and how she suffered from her relapse. She felt deeply sorry for this friend.
Seeing the sadness on Jian Xi’s face, Qin Muxuan knew what she was thinking. She held her hand consolingly and said, “I’m really much better now, and I hope that you won’t tell him that. And don’t tell Xiaobai too. I don’t want him to worry about me.”
Since Qin Muxuan said so, what else could Jian Xi do? She couldn’t take the liberty to tell them that.
Jian Xi hugged Qin Muxuan gently, her voice choking a little, “I just, I just feel sorry for you.” You had to live with so much pain all by youself.
Qin Muxuan smiled and hugged Jian Xi back. “Jian Xi, thank you.” Thank you for your help for the past four years.
After hugging for a long time, the two of them separated. Jian Xi wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes awkwardly, “Alright, time to sleep. I’m so sleepy!”
The two of them were both happy and sentimental, and finally they fell asleep.
