In the hotel lobby, Yin Yu was talking to several staff members. When they came down, she quickly sent someone to help her with the item.
She pushed Xu Yi aside and pulled Gu Yueyue to the side.
Xu Yi knew they had some secrets to share, and wisely refrained from disturbing them.
Yin Yu couldn't wait to find out more information from Gu Yueyue.
"What happened last night? What happened after you two confirmed your relationship?"
Yin Yu's imagined passionate encounter was not real, but that didn't stop her from noticing the changes in Gu Yueyue.
Look at her makeup, it's not Gu Yueyue's usual style.
Gu Yueyue, who is always strong-willed, is actually a gentle and warm-hearted person, but she insists on giving her makeup a domineering look in order to find comfort and hope that she can become more assertive.
I've never seen anyone like her before, like a newlywed returning home.
"After confirming the relationship, and then..." Gu Yueyue thought about it seriously for a moment, and it seemed that there was nothing more to it. Only then did she realize that she hadn't asked Xu Yi to explain about the bracelet.
The thought of the bracelet that had fallen out of her pocket sent a pang of pain through Gu Yueyue's heart.
Xu Yi walked over and stood behind Gu Yueyue, asking with concern, "Teacher Gu, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"I'm fine." Gu Yueyue didn't want to keep dwelling on the past, and besides, it wasn't that important.
Regardless of what happened before, she did feel Xu Yi's love for her, so she could find a suitable opportunity to have a good talk with Xu Yi about the knot in her heart, instead of rushing to seek an explanation.
Xu Yi observed her expression; it remained unchanged, so it seemed to be nothing serious.
Yin Yu couldn't stand the atmosphere, so she said a few words, and Xu Yi couldn't help but come over. This little guy is too clingy.
Wait, isn't this guy being a little too clingy?
The Taoist immortal demeanor that Yin Yu had imagined, and the extraordinary grace of Master Xu, who could come and go freely with his soul detached from his body, vanished completely when facing Xu Yi at this moment.
Feeling uncomfortable under her friend's scrutiny, Gu Yueyue started to get hot.
"Alright, alright. You guys should go now. Be careful on your way back, and don't let something like last time happen where you get mobbed by fans."
Yin Yu was still worried, so he assigned two bodyguards to follow him.
In the past, Gu Yueyue would have definitely declined, not wanting to trouble her friend too much, but in the past year she has experienced too many security crises.
Furthermore, since she was no longer alone and Xiao Xu was with her, she did not refuse the bodyguards arranged by Yin Yu, but sincerely thanked them many times.
"Alright, alright, stop thanking me. There's no need for such formalities between us. Hurry up and go, your little one is getting impatient waiting for me." Yin Yu didn't dare to act recklessly in front of the big shot, but she was quite good at teasing her friend.
"Just arrange half an hour for the fans. You take Xu Yi there, and Zhao Yuan and Xia Lan are also there. Take a group photo together. Yuan Beidu's crew had an emergency and left early. If the fans ask about it later, you all say something nice. Don't let people think our show has a bad atmosphere."
"Okay, I understand." Gu Yueyue remembered what she said, turned around and took Xu Yi's hand. "Let's go."
"Tsk tsk tsk, with so many people around, you've already started holding hands. Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the paparazzi?" Yin Yu leaned closer and laughed at her. "Or are you so eager to go public and get Xiao Xu to give you a legitimate status?"
Gu Yueyue scolded her playfully, glared at her angrily, and left with Xu Yi.
The fans are easy to deal with. Gu Yueyue's fans dote on her and love her. The fans who were able to participate in this event were all long-time fans who were carefully selected by the studio.
Gu Yueyue and Xu Yi have a very close relationship; even in front of the camera, they maintain a hand-holding posture.
Fans exclaimed that the two had a good relationship and asked Xu Yi, a newcomer working on weekdays, to take good care of Gu Yueyue.
Xu Yi is no longer the Sword Master who just arrived. After spending half a year in the entertainment industry, her professional skills have made a qualitative leap.
When facing fans and entertainment reporters, she handled every detail with ease, leaving no room for error. Her facial expressions were also much softer, unlike the stiff and lifeless look she had at the beginning of the "Project Star" live broadcast.
Gu Yueyue was pleased to see Xu Yi's changes, but also felt sorry for her experience of being forced to grow up in the entertainment industry.
When it was almost time, Gu Yueyue tightened her grip on Xu Yi's hand and whispered in Xu Yi's ear, "It's time to end."
Xu Yi nodded and smiled, then chatted with the fans for a few minutes to wrap things up before handing the microphone to Gu Yueyue.
Gu Yueyue naturally took over the conversation, said a few words, and then ended the small fan meeting.
"The production team has prepared drinks and some snacks. Everyone has come all this way, so please have another serving later. Be careful on your way back, and remember to let your family and friends know you're safe."
Knowing that Gu Yueyue was particularly concerned about safety, the fans naturally agreed without hesitation.
Afterwards, bodyguards escorted the two to their car.
On the way back, Gu Yueyue felt a little sleepy. Although she had slept well last night, she hadn't had enough rest.
Xu Yi took her hand and sat up straight. "Teacher Gu, you can lean on me and sleep for a while."
Since her girlfriend had already mentioned it, Gu Yueyue didn't refuse and immediately leaned in close.
When she woke up, she was already downstairs at the studio.
Ono had been waiting there for a long time.
After Gu Yueyue and Xu Yi got out of the car, Xiao Ye brought some drinks for the two bodyguards and thanked them repeatedly, saying that she was sorry to have troubled them to make the trip.
Everyone was just working, receiving their wages, and doing their jobs. There was no trouble involved. However, the bodyguard felt comforted by their polite and friendly manner.
Ono called to his two assistants, a man and a woman, behind him to help him with his luggage.
The two assistants carried the luggage to Ono's car.
Gu Yueyue and Xu Yi changed cars again, and now Xiao Ye is driving them home.
Before the car could even start, the two bodyguards who had just left returned and stood next to Ono's car, knocking on the car window.
The car window was rolled down.
The bodyguard bent down and said to Ono, "On the way back, I noticed a car seemed to be following us. But I wasn't sure. We just saw that car again. There was a man in the car who kept taking pictures with his phone. It seemed like he was after you."
Ono was startled and quickly asked some specific questions.
Hearing their words, Gu Yueyue, sitting in the back seat, couldn't help but feel nervous.
The bodyguard casually pointed in a direction, "There, the white van."
Ono glanced over and saw a man sitting in the driver's seat. He looked at her from a distance and seemed somewhat familiar.
"It's him!"
Gu Yueyue, sitting in the back seat, exclaimed in surprise.
Ono quickly remembered and cursed, "Damn it, that pervert. He made Yueyue live in fear for days, and she couldn't even live in peace after moving. I didn't expect that guy to be released so quickly."
Ono quickly called the people at the studio and asked several security guards to come over.
Seeing this, the two bodyguards who returned knew that their caution this time had not gone wrong.
“He didn’t do anything strange. This is a public place, and if we rush over, it will only make things harder to explain. Let’s wait and see what he’s up to,” one of the bodyguards suggested.
Another person stood guard here, saying, "Don't be afraid, we're here."
There were many people around this time, so Gu Yueyue wasn't too scared, just very nervous, since Xiao Xu was still with her.
"Teacher Gu, don't be afraid." Xu Yi took her hand.
With a slight thought, spiritual energy surged.
Everyone was watching the white van, trying to prevent the man from lunging at them and committing any evil deeds.
The man suddenly put down his phone and started the car.
Ono became wary. "What does he want? Is he going to run us over?"
Ono quickly started the vehicle, ready to drive off immediately.
The man drove off into the traffic and sped away right in front of them.
"They left?"
Ono was incredulous, stammering, "Did he realize we'd noticed him, so he left?"
The bodyguard was also unsure, scratching his head and finding it rather strange.
Gu Yueyue felt a little relieved. It was good that they were gone; at least they were safe for the time being.
"Can we go back now?" Gu Yueyue asked Xiao Ye, but she was looking at the bodyguard outside the car.
The bodyguards couldn't figure it out either, but staying here was a waste of time.
"Let's drive around the city a few more times. If they don't follow us, let's go back," the bodyguard suggested.
Ono nodded naturally, "That's what I was thinking too. Thank you so much for today. Let's exchange contact information; I'll treat you two to dinner another day."
After a slight delay, I still added their contact information.
In navigating society, connections are of paramount importance.
Ono drove around the city several times, and even drove to the police station to check on things before driving back.
Gu Yueyue finally arrived home.
Once she got home, she felt at ease for the time being.
Especially as soon as she got home, her sweet little white dumpling daughter rushed over, and Gu Yueyue's heart melted.
"Did the baby miss Mommy?" Gu Yueyue bent down to pick her up, but couldn't lift her the first time. It took a lot of effort to finally lift the little one up the second time.
Little Xiao, unaware that she had gained weight again, snuggled against Gu Yueyue's arms and asked, "I miss Mommy. How long will Mommy be staying this time?"
"You can rest for a while now. Mommy will stay home and spend time with Xiaoxiao, okay?" Gu Yueyue carried her to the sofa, freeing her hands but putting undue weight on her legs.
After chatting with the little girl for a while, she suddenly asked about Xu Yi.
Gu Yueyue then began to hesitate, wondering how to tell Xiaoxiao about her relationship.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Judging from the rhythm, Gu Yueyue guessed that the person outside the door was Xu Yi.
Out of caution, I glanced at the security camera footage outside the door on my phone, and it was indeed Xu Yi.
The door opened, and Xu Yi hugged her.
"Teacher Gu, I miss you so much."
"Let go, Xiao Xu." Gu Yueyue still remembered that Xiao Xiao was right behind her. It was embarrassing to hug the child like this in front of her, and besides... they had only been separated for a quarter of an hour.
