Trajectory 2: entangled curves

Finally, after many twists and turns, Zhuge Qinuo returned to his room.

But after a long time, the phone didn't ring.

"Is it broken?" Zhuge Qinuo was a little skeptical.

She regretted not explaining things clearly to Deng Qing and not letting him and Mi Bei know that she had returned.

Time flies while waiting.

"He doesn't know I'm back?" She wanted to be the one who took the initiative countless times, but in the end she didn't make the call.

On the last night of the cruise, Zhuge Qinuo never received Mi Bei's call.

It seemed like this was the first time he broke a promise.

Has the person who said "wait for my news" already lost herself in her concerns, hesitation and retreat?

So, that hug that she thought was so beautiful was his farewell?

Isn't it? Because there is no beginning, there is no need for an end.

The next day, after getting off the boat and getting a signal, she only reported to Deng Qing that she was safe.

She knew that was Mibei's choice, and she chose to respect it.

All the random heartbeats he gave her had indeed given her an illusion, an illusion that there was a possibility between her and Mibei.

She laughed at her own extravagant hopes.

Because of him, she forgot how she and Huang Cangran had drawn the line between them.

Because it was him, she forgot what price she had to pay in order to give a name to the feelings in her heart.

Because it was him, she even forgot the vivid example given by Shen Chengkun's incident on the same ship.

But she remembered now.

Don't have feelings that you shouldn't have, even the kind that only you know in your heart and others don't know. Because you don't know at which second this hidden feeling will be exposed inadvertently; you also don't know how deeply this hidden feeling can hurt yourself without hurting anyone else.

So, he is right.

Be responsible for each other, don't let flowers that will not bear good results bloom, and don't even let buds sprout.

As for the incident on the cruise ship, because of the jewelry endorsement, no one hyped up the scandal between Zhuge Qinuo and Deng Qing. There were only some speculations, but such speculations were too common in the circle. So after a while, the heat faded. She lived her life as usual, worked hard to make money, and spent time with her children.

However, Zhuge Qinuo has never cared about this kind of popularity. For her, the day her drama was finished, her filming experience was over, and she never wanted to film a second time, nor did she want to have anything to do with the entertainment industry, of course, except for people like Mi Bei and Deng Qing who were considered friends.

After the TV series was finished, the review was completed very quickly. As a traffic code and quality guarantee, Deng Qing was sought after by the drama booking platforms. Of course, Zhuge Qinuo didn't care much about these, he just talked about them when he met Deng Qing before.

As early as two months ago, Deng Qing contacted her and talked about this matter, and had already told her that the TV series would be broadcast during the summer vacation.

The day after the cruise ended, Deng Qing called again and wanted Zhuge Qinuo to participate in various TV drama announcements to build momentum for the upcoming new drama.

If she were younger, even a few years earlier, Zhuge Qinuo would have been very excited about this kind of thing. But now, she really doesn't want to be too "glorious".

"Why should I go? With such a small role, it would be too funny for the female lead to run around with others for announcements." She declined half-jokingly.

"Of course there are plenty. You're such a fool. If it were someone else who had such a good opportunity, they would have fought hard to get it and begged everyone for the chance to be on the show, but you are different." Deng Qing was angry at him for not fighting for it.

"So I'm not someone else. Really, don't let a middle-aged woman like me embarrass herself. Besides, you see, for announcements and the like, you have one man, two men, and one woman to support the occasion. Even if I go, look, I'm an ex-lover, who can I pair up with? Isn't it awkward?" Zhuge Qinuo was speaking from the heart.

"Oh, so you're not afraid of being alone. You should have told me earlier. This is not a problem. I'll protect you. They are all so popular, so I'll naturally cue you more." Deng Qing's enthusiasm remained undiminished.

"Really, no, I know you're doing this for my own good. It doesn't matter whether I go for the role or not. If you want me to get more exposure and think it will be good for my current career, then I really thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! But this is even more unnecessary. After the TV series comes out, it will be enough for people around me to talk about it for a while, and that's enough. I want to be quiet and not affect my children. Do you understand?"

Zhuge Qinuo's sudden seriousness was like an epiphany, and Deng Qing instantly understood the crux of the matter: "I was a little self-righteous. I thought you would want this opportunity, but you were just embarrassed. Well, people like us are so desperate to protect our privacy. It's good for you to stay out of the spotlight now and just be quiet."

"How can you think you are so serious! Our actor Deng is always willing to help others and is very enthusiastic. Thank you very much." Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit tense, Zhuge Qinuo quickly "put" Deng Qing on display.

Deng Qing: "Okay, if it doesn't work out, I'll give you a big meal for your sake!"

Zhuge Qinuo: "Absolutely no problem!"

Sure enough, two days after the phone call, some of the main actors in the crew, including Mi Bei, started running around for various announcements, appearing on some variety shows, and all kinds of news were everywhere.

As a long-time fan of entertainment news, Zhuge Qinuo can naturally see all kinds of information about this TV series.

Everything is ready to go. As a participant, Zhuge Qinuo knows that there must be a big difference between the shooting and the finished product, so he is full of expectations for the TV series, not to mention ordinary audiences and their fans.

As expected, after the TV series was broadcast, the ratings of both TV and online platforms remained at the top. The theme of the fantasy epic is very interesting, and coupled with the good looks, acting skills, plot, costumes, props, and even the shooting techniques, this result is well deserved.

Zhuge Qinuo also became very popular offline because of the TV series. Anyone who knows her or follows the TV series would talk about her, saying that she looks beautiful in ancient costumes, saying that they almost didn't recognize her when they saw her on TV... In short, there are all kinds of things, it's very lively.

When her parents heard about this, they specially called her back for dinner and asked her to order the TV series for them. They had not watched TV series for many years, but they watched TV every day. When they saw her, they praised her. She estimated that all the aunts and uncles would know about it next. So for helping the show attract a wave of elderly fans, Zhuge Qinuo hoped that Deng Qing could treat her to a meal.

Her role is mainly in the early stage, and she appears in about ten episodes in the TV series. According to the TV series, the average rhythm is five episodes a week, which means that the two-week show is basically over. But she lives in the male protagonist's memory for a long time, so she will show up every few episodes, which also continues the enthusiasm of her relatives and friends to follow the show.

Deng Qing continued to be popular, and Mi Bei also gained countless fans. Because of this drama, his fans increased by 500 million, making him a new and emerging artist with nearly million fans. It is no exaggeration to say that he went from a struggling nobody to a star overnight.

The previous efforts were finally fully seen. In everyone's opinion, this is a potential stock and a rising star waiting to explode.

However, in addition to a busier and more intensive schedule, his schedule has also become more transparent. His every move has suddenly begun to attract unprecedented attention. Fans and paparazzi will hold their mobile phones and cameras to post news about him regardless of the occasion.
