Lou Che thought of Gu Mian’s reaction to the media and netizens. A small smile appeared in his eyes and then the smile slowly disappeared. He raised his hand and squeezed his eyebrows, “She is so straight-forward that she may offend people.”

Although Gu Guoan’s career had been thriving in recent years and the Gu family was also a big family, it wasn’t the best in the circle. It wasn’t that there was no one who could offend the Gu family. Just that there was no conflict of interest.

People who appreciated Gu Mian’s straightforward personality would appreciate her, but she wasn’t RMB (money) after all and it was impossible for everyone to like her. So some people may be disgusted or even jealous of her personality. Jealous of how she did everything she pleased, doing what she wanted, saying what she wanted to say.

Lou Ziyu hesitated and said, “Anyway, I think your little girlfriend is a lucky person. If you don’t believe me, wait and see.”

On the other hand, Xiao Zhu was also twittering in Gu Mian’s ear, “Mian Mian, at first I really thought you and Sir Lou had something, but now, I don’t think so.”

Gu Mian glanced at her strangely, “What?”

Xiao Zhu danced, “You took the initiative to look at him, but he didn’t even give you a look! Tsk tsk, his fans should be happy.” 

After all, Lou Che’s fans were notoriously jealous. In a public duet, Lou Che and the actress didn’t even look at each other. Shouldn’t they be happy?

Gu Mian had no fluctuation in her heart.

It was nothing.

At the end of the second road show, the crew arranged a dinner. Gu Mian wasn’t very interested in this kind of entertainment, so she didn’t plan to go.

She and Xiao Zhu both wanted to return to the hotel early to rest.

In their opinion, even eating instant noodles was better than fighting wine at the dinner table.

As soon as Gu Mian and Xiao Zhu walked to the small door of the celebrity meeting venue, it started to drizzle sleet.

Winter in the north always came earlier.

Neither Gu Mian nor Xiao Zhu brought umbrellas. It was raining heavily and there were some snowflakes in the rain. A cold gust of wind came and Xiao Zhu shivered.

She glanced at Gu Mian, who was dressed in thick clothes and didn’t pay much attention to demeanor. The girl almost hid her head in the jacket. She couldn’t help but say enviously, “Mian Mian, you have the foresight and knew to wear thick clothes. “

Gu Mian gave Xiao Zhu the thick scarf she was wearing on her neck and said, “Wrap this.”

Xiao Zhu thanked her gratefully and said flatly, “Mian Mian, you know you are the best.”

She wrapped it around herself and sighed contentedly, “Mian Mian, you carry no idol baggage* like others in the entertainment industry. The female stars who could be like that are so few that I can count them with one hand.”

Gu Mian blinked, “Why compare to others? Isn’t it enough to take care of yourself?”

Gu Mian’s words made sense.

If it was cold, wear warm clothes and if others were willing to be cold, then let them freeze.

Xiao Zhu didn’t know, since when some of her thoughts began to be changed due to Gu Mian. If it was in the past, she would definitely argue that “Actresses in the entertainment industry should face various comparisons. Only by competing with each other can a hundred flowers bloom. If not, is it still the entertainment industry?”

However, after staying with Gu Mian for a long time, Xiao Zhu wasn’t as eager for quick success as before.

Looking at the dense rain curtain, Gu Mian stomped her foot. It seemed that the rain would not stop for a short time, but in order to get shelter, she and Xiao Zhu came to the small shade, which was far away from their hotel. If they walked back to borrow an umbrella, it would take 20 minutes to go back and forth.

The original plan was good and no one noticed that she and Xiao Zhu weren’t going to dinner, but who knew the weather wasn’t beautiful and it suddenly began to rain and snow.

Just as Gu Mian was thinking about going back to borrow an umbrella, a black umbrella appeared above her head.

She looked to one side and saw Lou Che, in a black long coat standing a little behind her.

Lou Che asked, “Are you going back to the hotel?”

Gu Mian said, “Yes,”

Lou Che took a step, “Let’s go.”

Gu Mian said, “Aren’t you going to dinner?”

“No!”

At the back, Lu Ziyu smiled and handed the extra umbrella to Xiao Zhu, who was stupefied and hadn’t reacted, “Here, an umbrella.”

Xiao Zhu accepted the umbrella flatteredly, “Thank you.”

Lou Ziyu smiled gently, “You’re welcome.”

Xiao Zhu jumped a few feet, “It’s a coincidence, I didn’t expect to meet you.”

A coincidence?

Not necessarily.

But Lou Ziyu didn’t say much, just smiled and walked behind the two people in front with Xiao Zhu holding the umbrella.

The rain was getting heavier and with the cold wind coming from the left, the cold made people shiver.

Xiao Zhu just wanted to say something but found Lou Che leaning the umbrella toward Gu Mian quietly. Half of his shoulder was exposed outside.

He was so careful and considerate when holding the umbrella.

Wasn’t Sir Lou a detached person?
