Huayu: I'm being coveted by young actresses.

Chapter 67: The Vulgar Gu Luojin

After finishing his performance, Gu Luojin was as quiet as a handsome man, waiting for the little yellow duck to dress up so they could go to the reserved private room together.

Zhou Ye went back to her room and started a video call with Sister Meng.

"Sister Meng, there's a female celebrity in our crew who's pursuing Brother Gu. What should I do?"

"Is it beautiful?"

"Not pretty."

"Then you don't need to worry. Gu Luojin is a typical scumbag who only cares about looks. No one who doesn't catch his eye can win him over."

"What if she were an award-winning actress?"

There are very few actresses who have won the Best Actress award. If it were the senior actresses who were pursuing Gu Luojin, it might change this dog's mind.

But Zhou Ye said she wasn't pretty. Among the senior actresses who have won the Best Actress award, almost all of them are beautiful. Among the new generation, there are only two actresses who have won the Best Actress award.

Ma Sichun had only recently broken up with Shen Cai, so the only possible candidate was Little Yellow Duck.

"It's not a rubber duck, is it?"

"Sister Meng, you're amazing! I didn't even tell you, and you figured it out."

She wouldn't be ridiculed by netizens if she had this level of intelligence; Gu Luojin told her all of this.

"Cough! Cough!"

"Then you don't need to worry anymore. She's not as pretty as you, and her breasts aren't as big as yours. Just relax."

"oh."

"Sister Meng, please come quickly, I've missed you so much."

"It'll be here soon, in a few days."

……

"Junior Gu, isn't it good-looking?"

"nice."

Gu Luojin was genuinely praising him. How could it not be considered progress if his score had increased from 50 to 55?

He, who never lies with a straight face, cannot dampen other people's enthusiasm.

Being a pleasant person means making others feel comfortable.

The two arrived at the private room that Little Yellow Duck had booked, and there were already people in the room.

Her "best friend" is Ma Sichun, and some friends outside the entertainment industry.

Many people present were attracted by Gu Luojin's good looks; they would also pursue this handsome guy if they were in his shoes.

"Little yellow duck, aren't you going to introduce it to us? You can't eat it all by yourself."

"What nonsense are you talking about? This is my junior, Gu Luojin, who is also the male lead in my play."

Gu Luojin didn't want to be too flamboyant, so after a brief self-introduction, she sat down next to Ma Sichun.

He preferred talking to this friendly insider rather than other people.

Little Yellow Duck didn't suspect anything; as someone in the same industry, she understood some things.

Ma Sichun was praised as the little princess of Northwest China when she debuted, but the eldest princess is actually Tian Tian.

She grew up in a privileged environment, but it didn't give her a strong inner core.

She was bullied in school; a female classmate put mop water and chalk dust in her cola.

Instead of standing up for herself after being bullied, she developed depression.

This led to her developing a people-pleasing personality as an adult. She was afraid of bothering others in everything, and she didn't even dare to tell the driver when she needed to use the restroom, for fear of troubling others.

Being too considerate of others' feelings, suppressing one's own emotions, and worrying about making others angry in order to avoid getting angry oneself.

Worried that others won't like it, you compromise yourself and drain your energy.

She is a true heroine of youth-themed melodrama, kind, sensitive, and highly empathetic.

This personality trait earned her countless fans in the future "Divas Hit the Road 7", which can be considered a blessing in disguise.

Despite being betrayed so many times by the little yellow duck, Ma Sichun and the little yellow duck still chose to reconcile in the end. Friendship is just a phase.

In this industry, you can use anything for hype: love, friendship, even family ties.

Right, Principal Wang?

Gu Luojin started showing off the fruit platter, leaving Ma Sichun, who was standing next to him, bewildered by the handsome man's bizarre behavior.

No good person comes to a KTV just to show off their fruit platter. Seeing how much he was enjoying it, she couldn't resist and took a bite of the fruit platter in front of her.

Everyone knows that the fruit at KTVs is of poor quality, but it still tastes better than what you get at home. She couldn't figure out why.

Gu Luojin was satisfied after showing off a plate of fruit; this trip to the KTV hadn't been a waste.

Ma Sichun handed the plate in front of her to Gu Luojin. He was surprised, but he didn't refuse, just like no one would complain about having too much money.

"Sister Chun, aren't you going to eat?"

"I can't eat that much. Female celebrities need to be careful about their figures."

Okay, he doesn't have that anxiety. Working out isn't about making himself suffer every day, but about maintaining a good physique while still enjoying delicious food.

Despite weighing several hundred pounds, Liangzi had never eaten anything good; her diet consisted entirely of dry carbohydrates, instant noodles, and fried dough sticks.

Little Yellow Duck remembers that Gu Luojin released a single, but she didn't sing a single line when she came to the karaoke bar.

If the atmosphere isn't right, how can I express her feelings?

He, who was not proactive, was forced to take a microphone by the little yellow duck: "Junior, you sing well, sing a song."

There's no reason to force someone to sing if they don't want to. Fearing she would get angry, Gu Luojin chose to accept.

After all, they're all brothers, so he doesn't mind.

"Then I'll sing one of my own songs, 'The Wind Rises'."

To Ma Sichun's surprise, the song she often listened to was actually sung by him; most people don't pay attention to the composer when listening to songs.

We traveled along the way, stopping and starting, following the trail of the boy's drifting journey.

I hesitated for a moment before stepping out of the station.

Ma Sichun cheered him on with a handbell, and Little Yellow Duck, not to be outdone, also picked up another handbell to cheer Gu Luojin on.

It gave off a feeling of a chaotic battleground where two women were vying for one man. Ma Sichun glanced sideways and noticed that her 'best friend's' expression was a little off.

Ma Sichun put down the handbell and listened attentively to Gu Luojin's singing.

The little yellow duck smiled when it saw that Ma Sichun was very sensible.

What the heart desires, it goes with the wind.

In the name of love, are you still willing?

After finishing the song, he won the approval of everyone present.

"Junior, you sang quite well."

"Thank you for liking it, senior."

Gu Luojin handed the microphone to Ma Sichun. He didn't like being a karaoke hog and didn't like to show off.

Showing off in front of these people won't give Gu Luojin much of a sense of superiority; their sense of superiority will only add to her troubles.

Ma Sichun's singing is just passable, not particularly good, but it's better than Meng Jie's and Ye Zi's singing.

Supporting others is one of the three things he does when he comes to the karaoke bar. Gu Luojin fully demonstrated his ability to support others, giving full emotional value to whoever was singing.

"Xiao Gu, do you feel awkward being around friends you're not close to?"

"It's alright. Many good friends are people I met for the first time, then we found we had similar interests and eventually became good friends."

"Sister Chun, what about you?"

"I'm fine."

Despite saying she was fine, Ma Sichun kept her legs together and her hands on her lap, a typical sign of nervousness and social anxiety. It was clear she hadn't opened up to the environment.

It's nothing like the relaxed demeanor one would show when singing.

"Xiao Gu, what kinds of things usually make you feel embarrassed?"

"Celebrating your birthday on set or on a TV show, where strangers hold some kind of birthday ceremony and sing 'Happy Birthday' together."

"Actually, it's great to celebrate your birthday with a few close friends in private. You don't have to worry about not having enough fun."

After Gu Luojin finished speaking, Ma Sichun smiled awkwardly, because today was her best friend Xiaohuangya's birthday.

Otherwise, she would have traveled a long way to come here.

Just as Gu Luojin finished speaking, a large number of people poured into the KTV, and he almost grabbed a weapon.

Upon closer inspection, the person in the lead was director Tsang Kwok-cheung, who was pushing a cake cart, followed by some crew members.

Happy birthday to our leading lady, Little Yellow Duck!

Ma Sichun, who was standing next to him, suppressed a smile, her lips trembling slightly. When she looked at Gu Luojin, her facial muscles were stiff, and she clapped her hands in response.

He dared not look at others, and tried his best to keep his head down and sing "Happy Birthday" along with everyone else.

Happy Birthday ×N

"Time to cut the cake."

The little yellow duck first shared the cake with Director Zeng, and then shared it with Gu Luojin.

The order in which the cake was cut made everyone present understand her feelings and how much she valued Gu Luojin.

Everyone turned to look at him: "Thank you, senior."

Gu Luojin accepted it generously, since the two were good friends.

He hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise.

After finishing the cake, Gu Luojin was called outside by the little yellow duck.

Gu Luojin knew without even thinking what the little yellow duck was about to say.

A confession is a victory song, not a battle cry to launch an attack, much less a desperate gamble by a gambler.

Some guys just don't understand; they get caught up in the ambiguity and assume the other person likes them.

I won't listen. I want to confess my feelings. I want to be a gambler. High risk, high reward.

Then you went to confess your feelings, but instead of a horn being blown, it was the sound of a circus gong at the start of the show. As soon as the gong rang, everyone was amused by your performance.

Besides, the two are buddies, how could he have other thoughts about his buddies, especially since "brother, you smell so good"?

Doesn't the little yellow duck understand this principle?

"Xiao Gu, what do you think of the senior?"

"My senior is a great actress, beautiful, and she took good care of me on set. I'm very grateful to her."

"Then tell me, aren't we a match made in heaven?"

It's time to come.

"Senior, I'm currently focused on my career and don't want to be in a relationship yet. I want to at least win one of the three international gold medals before I start talking about my personal life."

It's well known how difficult it is to win the three international gold medals, especially for someone from Dongda University.

Zhang Yimou and Chen Yibo, one of them became a big director and a famous director in China.

No matter how many bad films Chen Shiren has made, his honors still place him among the top three directors in China.

"Junior, is it because you're dating Zhou Ye that you rejected me?"

Xiao Ye? What does that have to do with her?

"We were friends in school, so we're quite close. I don't want to date her; I just want to focus on my career."

Thanks to his acting skills, Little Yellow Duck understood from Gu Luojin's words that he really didn't want to be in a relationship and focused all his energy on his studies.

He's so handsome and has such a great physique, all he wants to do is focus on his career.

Instead of measuring her waist with her legs, it would be a complete waste.

"You really never had any feelings for me? Not even a little bit, not even for a moment?"

Gu Luojin really wanted to answer with Liu Yifei's question: "What have you done?"

"Senior, I respect you a lot, and I've always considered you a buddy."

"You only treat me like a buddy because I'm not pretty, right? Actually, I'm not ugly at all; I'm quite pretty, but I just don't fit your aesthetic."

"Senior, do men and women always have to express their feelings through the word 'love'?"

"The deepest feeling a woman can have for a man is love."

"I'm a pretty vulgar person. I like money and fame. My standards aren't that high."

"Then let's remain friends."

"certainly."

The little yellow duck took a step back, ending this emotionless confession.

[Ding! Little Yellow Duck's affection level has decreased to 20.]

To this extent, the little yellow duck's favorability rating towards him was still 20, which was beyond his expectations.

Why hasn't the system determined completion? Does it need to be reduced to 0?

That's alright, for now there's no need to fall out with her, at least she won't target Xiao Ye.

She has the system as a trump card and isn't afraid of her, but Xiao Ye doesn't. If she loses this role, how long will she have to wait?

Little Ye, Little Ye, you owe me another favor.

What are you going to use to repay what you owe me?

……

"Ah Qiu... Sister Meng, I'll stop talking to you for now. I'll take some cold medicine as a precaution before you come to visit the set."

"Okay, see you next time."

Ma Sichun knew the outcome from the expressions on their faces when they returned.

"Xiao Gu, didn't you promise Xiao Yu?"

"Sister Chun, my senior and I are just buddies, it's not what you think."

Gu Luojin said casually, but Ma Sichun could tell that Xiaohuangya's feelings for him were more than just buddy-like.

Since the person involved isn't saying anything, she can't expose them, and she'll need to comfort her "best friend" later.
