Chapter 109

  The next day at one o'clock in the afternoon, Li Jinkai drove to Shi Dongning's house to pick up Luo Fei.

  This afternoon at 3 o'clock, Dongjiao Hotel, Shu Mu Investment and Ren Jilin's directed film "A Tree Born" will have its first trial screening.

  Luo Fei wore a pair of jeans, with a simple white shirt and a light-colored denim jacket over it. He was already tall and slender, and his skin looked good in the sunlight, making him look youthful and radiant. From afar, Li Jinyuan saw him driving and thought to himself that although this person might be stupid, his face and figure were truly born for the entertainment industry.

  A day later, Shi Dongning's spirit looked much better. Li Jin asked him about Ruo Fei's situation and made an appointment with him to discuss specific cooperation matters at the company, all of which he answered with a smile. Such a gentle attitude was unprecedented, so that when Li Jin drove out for a long time, she still couldn't believe it, turned her head and asked Ruo Fei: "What did you two do last night, making Teacher Shi Dongning so happy?"

  Luo Fei's mind was still on the photo from last night, and at this moment, Li Jin asked him like that. He had a conditioned reflex, his heart guilty, his body suddenly bounced up, and his head "thudded" against the ceiling.

  "No, nothing!" Kuo Fei covered his head and shouted, "There's nothing at all!"

  Li Jinfu looked at him suspiciously: "Such a big reaction? It seems that there is indeed something... Come on, confess!"

  Luo Fei rubbed his head and turned away, he was usually cheerful and loved to joke around, especially when promoting with Qi Yichen, he often used their CP as a laughing point. So Li Jin knew that he wouldn't mind this kind of small joke at all. But now, his reaction couldn't be described as good, it was even extremely bad.

  The smiling child tightly pursed his lips, put his arm on top of his head, and covered more than half of his face with his sleeve. Feeling that he was being observed, he shrunk himself even further to the other side of the seat.

  Something is really off.

  Li Jinfang slowed down the car, turned on the in-car audio and asked him with a pretended ease: "Nervous?"

  Lou Fei's shoulders slightly trembled, and after a while, he hesitantly responded with a low "Mm."

  "I've told you, don't be so stressed." Li Jinxin thought to herself, "Director Ren Qilin is notoriously strict, and you have no experience in filming before. The chances of being selected should be slim. Just take today as a chance to gain some experience and get familiar with the scene. Besides, if you're really selected, wouldn't that be even better? This movie has a good cast, and participating in it would be a great opportunity for you."

  "Aren't you afraid that Shu Mu will intervene and set up another scheme?" Luo Fei asked.

  Li Jin gave him a sideways glance and smiled, "There are a thousand ways to be a thief, but there's no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days. If he wants to cause trouble, it won't be in this play. Besides, with Ren Jilin's big-name status, the casting is probably not something that Shu Mu can interfere with. We don't need to be timid and let opportunities slip away just because of things that haven't happened yet. He makes a move, we respond. Moreover..." Li Jin turned the steering wheel, and on the highway, the car smoothly overtook another vehicle, "Why worry about these things? With your acting skills, it's not certain whether Director Ren will approve or not!"

  As soon as this was said, Luo Fei's just-lit fighting spirit instantly extinguished, and he slumped in the car seat like a deflated balloon, muttering softly: "Everyone knows I'm not good at acting, only singing... why call me to act in movies... can't I just focus on releasing albums... I originally debuted as a singer..."

  "The golden age of the record industry has passed, unless relying on the popularity accumulated before, it's hard for new singers to become popular purely by singing. And Rong Fei, to be honest, your singing skills are not enough to support you in the music scene, so you must develop comprehensively."

  Luo Fei responded with a low "en", staring blankly at the trees outside the window as they flashed by quickly, unsure how much of this conversation he had taken in. Li Jin knew that Luo Fei was stubborn and took some time to accept certain things, but fortunately, he was willing to listen and trusted himself, so he always followed his own arrangements.

  The carriage fell silent, leaving only the in-car audio playing a rhythmic song. This was a demo of Luo Fei's new single, an electronic dance track mixed with reggae style. Li Jin always felt somewhat out of breath when dealing with fast-paced songs like this one, and this demo also had many unsatisfactory parts to it.

  Lu Fei listened to his own voice in the audio, every tail tone was lightly trembling, making people feel goosebumps all over their body for a long time.

  He thought that Li Jin was right, his singing skills were just average, and it was impossible to make a living by singing alone. To be popular, he could only rely on his youthful face.

  In the rearview mirror, the pale-faced person had delicate features and was a high-quality handsome man, an absolute idol on stage and in life. Luo Fei looked at himself in the mirror and thought, I wonder if the fans will feel disillusioned with their idol when they find out that he has a girlfriend?

  A sudden surge of irritability welled up in his heart, and he abruptly turned off the car stereo. Just as his hand withdrew, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

  The familiar ringtone of a text message was like a summons from hell, and Luo Fei's cold sweat came down instantly.

  He looked at Li Jin with a guilty conscience and hesitated for a long time before daring to put his hand into his pocket.

  Xiao Jin once said that his current positioning is as an idol, and talking about romance would ruin him if he's not careful. So, if there's a girl he likes or wants to date, he must report it to him first...

  "What's wrong?" Li Jin noticed that he had been motionless for half a day, and without turning his head, asked, "Who sent you a text message?"

  "No, I don't know." Luo Fei chuckled and took out his phone from his pocket. His thumb trembled severely as he tried to unlock the screen, taking half a day to finally succeed. "It's probably just spam messages, haha..."

  The dry laughter stopped abruptly.

  Then, Hong Fei raised his mobile phone like a treasure and said in a very strange tone: "Junk messages are indeed junk messages... Xiao Jin, they're really junk messages!"

  Li Jin felt like his head was pinched by the door.

  But his tone was surprisingly excited and sincere, even with a hint of post-traumatic introspection.

  It's hard for Lai Kam to think of it no matter how much he thinks about it.

  "Lu Fei, what's wrong?" Ling Jin asked cautiously, her mind racing with a thousand possibilities. "Last night...what happened?"

  Luo Fei's eyebrows suddenly furrowed, and the fingers holding his phone twisted together at a very distorted angle in that instant.

  He stared blankly at the phone screen, that ridiculous spam message seemed like a sarcastic punk, mocking his weakness and anxiety.

  Just press a key and this message will switch to the next one, an anonymous MMS.

  It was this message that made him toss and turn all night, unable to fall asleep, and he was still on edge even until today.

  Who is it? Who took this photo? And who sent it over?

  The romance between myself and Xiao Su had been kept completely secret, even brief encounters were in absolutely secluded places. Who was following me around taking these photos? Was it him himself or someone else's instructions? And now, what is the intention of sending this photo to me?

  There were too many whys in his mind that he couldn't think of, his eyes gradually became helpless, and secretly drifted towards Li Jin.

  These are why, Little Jin must have a way to solve them.

  As long as you are honest with him, he will definitely help you solve the problem even if he is angry.

  It will definitely happen, it will definitely happen...

  "Xiao Jin, actually I..." Ruo Fei lifted his head, "Actually I..."

  "What?" Li Jin swept him with a glance: "What?"

  "Actually, I..." He chuckled again, "I'm just simply nervous, you know, I've grown up watching Director Ren's movies since I was a kid, and now I can finally meet him in person, I'm really, really nervous!"

  "Idiot." Li Jin cursed with a smile and turned his head to focus on driving.

  Luo Fei laughed twice, and then the smile was like an expired sticker, dry and wrinkled on his face.

  He is not afraid of being scolded, but fears other things.

  For example, forcing him to break up with Xiao Susu, for example, suspending his performing activities and hiding him away, for example...

  Besides, why does it always have to be Li Jin who comes to clean up the mess? Before meeting Li Jin, wasn't she the one who cleaned up her own messes alone?

  So this time, I must also be able to catch that person and ask him what his intentions are!
