Ch. 09 As long as he looks at Qiao Nai, he will stay still for two seconds longer
Naturally, He Siyu also saw that the entertainment industry had blown up.
But he was calm, because this was the only time, he was not the one who was being used.
Before, others wanted to tie up with him to rub off on his popularity, all without his knowledge, it’s just that there were too many of such things for him to manage, so if it wasn’t too much, he would usually turn a blind eye.
Brother Lei scratched his head when he saw how overwhelming the CP hype was and said, “Siyu, should we remove the hot search?”
“No, don’t.” He Siyu looked out the window and said lightly.
“Then let it ferment like this?”
“Let it be,” He Siyu said, “anyway, it’s not like they wanted to take advantage of us.”
“It’s also true that soon you and Qiao Nai will also officially announce the filming, and when the time comes, we can say that it was for the sake of publicity, so it will be easy to explain the past.” However, Brother Lei also asked curiously, “By the way, what did you and Qiao Nai say to each other on the red carpet? I’m curious.”
“Secret,” the corners of He Siyu’s mouth hooked up slightly, “By the way, in a few days, help me go and buy some perfume back.”
He Siyu usually likes to study perfumes, so Brother Lei didn’t think that it was strange.
The next day, dozens of bottles of perfume were delivered, mainly salon incense. 1A salon incense is a type of incense used in salons or wellness spaces to create a pleasant ambiance through aromatic smoke.
FM, Le labo, amouage, and so on. 2These are perfume brands.
People who study a lot of perfume generally like salon incense, which is relatively less likely to clash with other fragrances, and people who use stacked fragrances are more in pursuit of uniqueness, so naturally, they won’t choose commercial fragrances.
He Siyu smelled every single one of them but still didn’t find the smell on Qiao Nai’s body from his memory.
However, the fragrance of this thing will become more and more blurry as time goes on.
The smell on Qiao Nai’s body, He Siyu is already beginning to forget it bit by bit.
Thinking of this, He Siyu suddenly looked forward to when he could meet Qiao Nai again.
–
After the celebration, Qiao Nai took a break for a while and pondered about the script at home, and at the same time her humanoid pillow also arrived.
Every time she saw an emotional scene in the script, she would take out the human-shaped pillow with He Siyu’s face printed on it and practice with it.
But it was still quite scary to keep this thing at home.
There was a photo of He Siyu printed on it, but after all, the pillow was flat and wouldn’t move, so it was really a bit difficult to rely on this to enter into the character.
Every time she practiced the kiss scene, Qiao Nai felt like a pervert while hugging the pillow.
Gradually, she found out that the humanoid pillow was not much helpful for entering the play, but it was quite helpful for sleep, as it was very comfortable to sleep with.
Even when she woke up the next morning and saw He Siyu’s face so close at hand, she still couldn’t help but be startled.
During the break, she usually didn’t go on social networks much, so it seemed like she had semi-disappeared.
She thought that the previous affair with He Siyu would stop after a few days, but she didn’t expect the heat to not decrease at all.
Qiao Nai’s comment section was all filled with fans of He Siyu who came to criticize her.
There were many people saying that Qiao Nai was not worthy of He Siyu and just wanted to gain popularity, many even making personal attacks.
The thing that Qiao Nai hates the most since she entered the industry is being accused of rubbing heat or following unspoken rules, she can accept others criticizing her for her poor acting skills, criticize her for her poor business ability, criticize her cold face or lack of affinity, but they can’t deny her dedication and efforts, she can’t accept others saying that she takes shortcuts, as if all of her efforts till now are not a big deal.
Although in the eyes of many people, the entertainment industry is indeed a dark place, they can’t just bite the bullet and say that there are no good people here.
All that Qiao Nai has now is mostly because of her own efforts, except for a small part being because of the luck component.
Everyone who knows her, knows that she is a well-known for her determination, so much that before shooting for a martial arts movie that required good physical strength, she ran several kilometres with sandbags every day in the high temperature of more than 30 degrees, and then for the summer costume drama, where she played a Go master, she spent literally three months to learn the game of Go.
For her, there may be a talent gap between acting skills and appearance, but everyone is equal in front of hard work.
Many seemingly ordinary scenes that the audience sees are actually the results of her silent efforts behind those cameras.
Qiao Nai doesn’t want to get lost in this popularity, and forget that she is an ‘actress’.
At this time, Zeng Nan sent her a message, saying that because of the recent popularity, many magazines wanted to interview her and asked her if she wanted to take it.
Qiao Nai replied that she didn’t want to answer those interviews.
She felt that standing up and responding at this time, felt more like rubbing off the heat of the matter.
It’s better to just let it go.
Qiao Nai didn’t believe that such a heat could last for another five days.
However, Qiao Nai never expected that she completely underestimated the attack power of He Siyu’s fans.
The public opinion didn’t die down, but instead those people moved from Weibo to other places.
There were comments underneath Qiao Nai’s extranet social accounts, as well as on her endorsement brands’ accounts, bashing, cursing, and criticizing her, not only that, but those He Siyu fans also ran underneath the ratings of her movies and maliciously swiped the negatives.
In a few days, the ratings of all the dramas that Qiao Nai participated in dropped by one star.
This completely angered Qiao Nai.
These things can be directed personally at her, but to denigrate the results of the entire team’s hard work like this was unacceptable to her.
She didn’t know why He Siyu didn’t come forward to clarify this time.
There have also been female artists who have hyped up with He Siyu before, and usually He Siyu’s studio will issue a notice to refute the rumors the next day, and then the female artist who spread the rumors will be banned by the whole network.
This time, He Siyu didn’t even say half a word from beginning to the end.
Qiao Nai believes that the behavior of fans largely depends on the attitude of the star, and it is because He Siyu, who is so laissez-faire 3unwillingness to get involved in or influence other people’s activities that his fans are even more reckless.
Qiao Nai couldn’t bear it anymore and posted a Weibo.
@Qiao Nai: Thank you for paying attention to my recent love life, and showing such enthusiasm, but for now, I will be focusing on my career development, and have no plans to fall in love, at least for next three years. Please pay more attention to my works. Wish you all a good day.
As soon as Qiao Nai’s Weibo was posted, it was no surprise that it was on the hot search again.
Although she did not mention He Siyu in her Weibo, she was indirectly dissociating herself from him in between those lines.
With this explanation and the refutation of rumors, He Siyu’s fans finally stopped.
There were even many who went to Qiao Nai’s Weibo to apologize.
The world was finally at peace again.

Before joining the crew, one would need to take photos in their character makeup.
Qiao Nai plays the role of a high school girl, her long black hair parted in the mid-line, and for this, she even cutoff her bangs, her hair length trimmed to a little below her shoulders.
After changing her hairstyle, Qiao Nai suddenly looked more youthful and innocent.
Since He Siyu had something to do in the morning, their schedule arrangement was such that she would take the makeup photos first, and He Siyu would come towards the end.
Qiao Nai was wearing a white and blue high school uniform with a ponytail, and her eyes were clear and bright, just like an ordinary high school student.
Soon they were able to complete taking satisfactory solo makeup photos, and just when Qiao Nai was about to leave, it happened to be the time that He Siyu came to the studio.
He Siyu’s hair was dyed blue-grey – the hair colour of the male protagonist in the original work, wearing the brown short-sleeved T-shirt worn by the male protagonist when the two first met in the original novel.
At that moment, looking at him, Qiao Nai was stunned silly.
She once saw people say that if you want to test a man’s appearance, you need to see how he looks after dying his hair blue.
He Siyu’s original hair colour is jet black and same goes for his eyes, as dark as ink.
And now he has fleur-de-lis-blue Fleur-de-lis-blue 4 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleur-de-lis hair, with some grey mixed in, making him look like a mixed-race at first glance.
Maybe it’s because his facial contours are too good, making the whole person look like a teenager who just came out of a comic, a little unreal.
He Siyu saw Qiao Nai and nodded slightly at her to say hello.
He walked over to the dresser and reached out to light a cigarette.
He Siyu’s fingers are slender and his bones distinct, making the whole series of movements while lighting a cigarette look very smooth, even a bit addicting, very skillful.
Director Chen looked at it and asked, “Siyu, do you usually smoke too?”
“No,” He Siyu said, “but I practiced during this time.”
Qiao Nai was stunned for a moment, and she didn’t know if she was surprised because He Siyu didn’t smoke, or because He Siyu could do his homework so thoroughly.
If He Siyu hadn’t said that he didn’t smoke, the series of actions just now definitely looked like an old smoker to Qiao Nai.
As if realizing that Qiao Nai was looking at him, He Siyu squinted slightly, and his gaze passed over to look at her.
Qiao Nai immediately withdrew her gaze.
He Siyu stood in front of the camera, and there was an old sofa kept in the set, similar to the sofa depicted in the tattoo parlor in the original work.
He Siyu sat on it, and made a ruffian like gesture of smoking.
He took a breath and lifted his chin, his jawline so sharp that it seemed as if it had been drawn by a pencil. He squinted his eyes slightly and exhaled, his Adam’s apple moving slightly, and that smoke-filled face of his looking full of desire.
This act of smoking alone can captivate a large number of people.
Although Qiao Nai is not familiar with He Siyu, she usually sees his photos on the hot search.
In her impression, he naturally looks very noble and cold.
She didn’t know if it was because he had changed his hair colour and smoked, or if he naturally has a talent for acting. In short, when he was taking the pictures, Qiao Nai felt that the person in front of her was not He Siyu, but the ruffian Song Yi from the novel who was indifferent to everything in this world.
He Siyu’s eyes were blurred, like a fog that could not be dissolved, sometimes looking at the camera, sometimes looking into the distance, and sometimes meeting Qiao Nai’s line of sight.
But he quickly looked away from her, just staying for a couple of seconds at a time.
With his cigarette between his lips, his eyes and the corners of his mouth drooping weakly, as if the whole world had nothing to do with him.
Sitting on the sofa, he didn’t look like that handsome man standing with a straight back besides her on the red carpet, but instead this time his back was deliberately slightly hunched, and he looked just like a lazy little person.
That’s it, looking like a proper scumbag.
If these were not his true colors, it can only be said that this person has an extremely strong ability to observe and imitate.
After taking a few photos, He Siyu changed his posture, and the whole person laid lazily on the sofa, falling completely onto it, his body curves and the sofa merging together, as he took a puff of the cigarette and slowly spit it out.
His Adam’s apple moving up and down gently.
That small movement showing just the right amount of seduction.
That ascetic temperament revealed the desire for lust, as the white smoke slowly rose, leaving him in a hazy mist.
Adding a bit of mystery.
Looking at him, Qiao Nai only felt that along with the white smoke, the whole world was shrouded in a mystery, and as it dispersed, a feeling that his body, which had been sealed and shrouded in the dust for so long, suddenly woke up from its slumber.
The photographer snapped a few photos, and then He Siyu turned sideways slightly.
From this angle he could see Qiao Nai just right, and then he didn’t shy away from locking eyes with hers.
There was a kind of firmness in those eyes that said that he didn’t care about the world, but only her, the only person he has in his eyes.
Qiao Nai swallowed unconsciously, but at this time she didn’t realize that the man in front of her looked exactly like that as described in the book-
[The moment she looked at him, it was destined to happen what happened later.]
[His eyes were like the misty morning fog in the woods, and when he looks at you, it is like the gentle touch of the moonlight after the fog has been dispelled, full of fatal attraction.]
[An irresistible face that you are destined to be lost in, the moment you see him.]
