He secretly changed his character

He regretted the words as soon as they came out of his mouth. Lu Zichu understood that they were not close friends, and saying these things seemed to cross the line. Moreover, Bai Lu was an artist, and as a public figure, she always guarded her private life strictly. Since she did not have enough trust in the other party, she would not speak from her heart.

Bai Lu didn't think this question was abrupt. For others, curiosity is natural, let alone this kind of gossip.

"I know that everyone thinks I'm a stand-in, Zhuo Bufan's canary. He's my boss and my financial backer. Without him, I wouldn't be able to thrive in this circle—" At this point he shook his head, quite emotional, "But I've never defined the relationship between us this way."

"Even if everyone misunderstands you?"

"It doesn't matter. What matters is what Zhuo Bufan thinks."

"You don't mind being used as someone else's stand-in?"

Bai Lu smiled helplessly, "Frankly speaking, your question is very rude."

"Ah - I'm sorry." Lu Zichu apologized hurriedly, "I'm sorry for being so superficial."

"It's a pity to talk so deeply about something you just met..." Bai Lu's face turned pale, and he said in a low voice, "But I really like Zhuo Bufan."

"I can't help it--"

Bai Lu didn't let him continue. He suddenly pretended to smile and brought up a topic he didn't want to talk about. "Mr. Lu, do you like tea? Or coffee?"

"Tea."

"How about milk tea?"

“I don’t like it, but I drink it anyway.”

"So, we can make do without tea?"

"more or less."

"So, would you use milk tea as a substitute for tea?"

"How could that be! There is absolutely no comparison between tea and milk tea."

Bai Lu smiled slyly, "But there is tea in milk tea, and there is more milk than tea. In essence, it has everything you like, and more. Subconsciously, you should think of them as the relationship between the original and the substitute."

Lu Zichu suddenly had an epiphany. He finally understood why Bai Lu suddenly talked about tea and milk tea, and took great pains to explain the relationship between the two. He used the relationship between the two to compare himself and Zhuo Bufan, the white moonlight that only existed in legends.

In fact, this is also the nature of all things.

"If Zhuo Bufan likes tea, then when he encounters milk tea, although he will be tempted, he will try every possible means to purify the milk from the milk tea, just to restore its original flavor.

"But if he also likes to drink milk tea, does it also mean that he likes the taste of tea, not just the element of tea?"

At this point, Bai Lu paused, and then continued, "I have always convinced myself that what makes Zhuo Bufan fall in love with me is still the same qualities in me and Mr. Lu. And he hasn't gotten tired of me after all these years, maybe it's the other half of me that makes him fall in love with me to some extent."

Lu Zichu could tell that he was actually conflicted and uncertain. But at the same time, he was also very insightful and could see the essence of things without being bothered.

Lu Zichu couldn't help but admire his intelligence and open-mindedness. "Your statement has given me a new perspective on the problem."

"In fact, this is just a mirage I drew for myself. If I don't even have this possibility of daydreaming, I'm afraid I can't hold on." Bai Lu said, "I don't ask for pure feelings, I just hope that he treats me... with love."

Lu Zichu felt a little uncomfortable. He really admired him. Originally, he knew him from either TV dramas or talk shows. The former were all interpretations of others, but only in talk shows could he see a little bit of the real him. This bit of reality fascinated him.

But before today, he was a little worried about whether he had a good impression of the real person hiding behind the created persona. However, after this conversation, Lu Zichu felt that he was more worthy of his love and more respect.

Bai Lu looked at him, feeling uneasy, "I'm sorry, I may have disappointed you."

"why?"

"You are my fan, so you must have a strong fan filter. You must feel very uncomfortable and unable to accept that you suddenly know that I have so many shortcomings and a shameful past, and my idol halo is shattered."

"No. Why do you think so?" Lu Zichu looked at him, "I never think that a person should be perfect and without any flaws. Even the idols I like are no exception."

The white deer lowered its head and said nothing.

"After talking to you for so long today, I feel that you are a genuine, smart, and open-minded person. Originally, you could have chosen not to answer my questions, or you could have told me some lies to coax me. Just to maintain your perfect image in front of your fans. But you didn't want to lie to me."

"I just don't want to lie to myself. If I tell those lies too many times, I will start to believe them myself."

"So, you are good like this. I like you very much. I used to like your personality, but from now on, I like you as a person, you——"

Lu Zichu didn't finish his words, and suddenly he looked at one place and stopped moving.

Bai Lu was still waiting for his next words. Seeing that he had a strange expression, he turned around to look.

Then I saw that Lu Zichu was looking at two people. One was younger and good-looking, but for some reason, he always gave people the feeling of a gentleman. The other was a short, fat, middle-aged man with a slightly bald head. His clothes were not bad, but his appearance was too mediocre.

Bai Lu touched Lu Zichu's arm, "Why? He is more attractive than me?"

Only then did Lu Zichu react.

What he wanted to explore finally had some clues today.

The two people who walked in from outside the hall were Chu Lanxi and Sang Wenqi. These two people were really in collusion.

Lu Zichu saw that they were whispering something as they walked along. He was particularly curious about what they were talking about. Was it related to "Dragon Tomb"?

But he was worried about exposing himself, so he hid to the side of the white deer. In this way, Chu Lanxi would not be able to see his face clearly.

Bai Lu saw that he was so strange and didn't say anything else.

Lu Zichu was eager to know more about the conversation between the two people. He answered perfunctorily, "No... I'm just, just curious about... well, them."

Bai Lu rolled his eyes, as if remembering something, "Are you interested in what they said?"

Lu Zichu held onto Bai Lu's arm and looked over there. "Neither of these two is a good person. I guess they are discussing how to deal with someone again."

After Lu Zichu finished speaking, he asked the system in the background, "Laifu, do you have any eavesdropping plug-ins for sale? I can take care of your business."

Reborn system, [No.]

[Why not? Did you meet the KPI this month? You are so unprofessional. ]

Reborn system, [Because it is not compliant. It is prohibited from sale. 】

Lu Zichu felt uncomfortable after being poured cold water.

Bai Lu saw that Lu Zichu was serious and asked again, "Do you really want to know?"

Lu Zichu kept glancing over there, "Of course. Chu Lanxi's grandson just tripped me up a lot, and I'm worrying about how to turn defeat into victory."

"Then beg me."
