With global currency devaluation, I'll wear these back and take my whole family flying!

When the roles were reversed, Gu Yunzhou felt a burning pain on his face.

However, Shen Ci was not intentionally targeting him; every word she said was her truest thought.

She had long lost the ability to be attracted to men. If a man could make her gaze linger on him for more than a few seconds, it would probably only be because he was "handsome".

Yes, she still likes handsome men, and she never denies it.

Having said everything that needed to be said and made her attitude very clear, Shen Ci simply smiled and turned to leave, even though Gu Yunzhou's expression of astonishment had not completely faded.

Gu Lianxing, who was watching from the sidelines, had no idea what had happened. She only saw her brother looking lifeless, like an eggplant that had been wilted by frost. When she saw Shen Ci return, she quickly went up to him and asked, "Darling, what happened? Did you scold him?"

Shen Ci chuckled softly, then asked with a puzzled look, "Why would I scold him?"

"Then why did he have that expression?"

It seemed like shock mixed with a bit of grievance, and a little bit of other emotions—in short, it was very complicated.

Shen Ci sighed and said frankly, "As you wish, I have drawn a line between us. We can be friends, but no other relationship is possible."

Upon hearing this, Gu Lianxing instinctively covered her mouth, her big eyes widening in disbelief: "You...you really said that?"

Shen Ci nodded seriously: "What kind of reaction is this? Isn't this what you wanted?"

Gu Lianxing's expression was more complex than Gu Yunzhou's just now, a mixture of excitement, inner turmoil, and barely suppressed surprise.

After a while, she suddenly laughed again: "He used to be the one rejecting others, but he also has his day of being humiliated. Aci, you did a great job."

Shen Ci almost laughed, but in the end, she shook her head speechlessly.

She didn't mean to humiliate Gu Yunzhou; she just felt it was better to be straightforward about such matters. Since she wasn't planning to give him a chance, she shouldn't leave him with unnecessary illusions.

After a kissing scene, some actors can quickly detach themselves from their roles after a short break.

Some people, however, become so engrossed in the experience that they linger on it for a long time, even indulging in erotic dreams late at night, leaving a damp patch on their underwear.

After getting up, Song Anyu went into the bathroom to take a shower, feeling both annoyed and ashamed.

I had just dried my hair when the door to my room was banged on loudly.

"An Yu! An Yu!"

Xiao Long shouted Song Anyu's name loudly outside. Song Anyu put down the hairdryer, quickly found a clean pair of underwear, put them on, and then put on his pants before opening the door.

"what happened?"

Xiao Long said in a panic, "We're doomed! You just finished filming a kissing scene yesterday, and today fans are already blocking the hotel. It's a complete mess downstairs. Let's go out the back door today."

Upon hearing Xiaolong's words, Song Anyu's expression froze. Without thinking, he said, "Why go through the back door? What if they can't stop me and instead cause trouble on set?"

"You can't just let things continue like this, can you? What if they press you for answers?"

As Song Anyu returned to his room and dressed, he said, "There's no need for them to press me. The kissing scene has already been filmed; it's an indisputable fact. What do I have to be afraid to admit?"

When Xiaolong heard that Song Anyu was going to admit it to his face, he almost burst into tears.

"An Yu, don't scare me! If Sister Hong finds out, she'll kill me!"

Song Anyu turned to look at Xiaolong and asked, "Did Sister Hong tell you that I wasn't allowed to film kissing scenes?"

Xiao Long was taken aback, then quickly shook his head: "No, but Sister Hong instructed me to keep your fans in check. If the fans cause trouble and it gets trending on social media, our team will be punished by the company!"

Xiaolong is not exaggerating. As long as an artist trends on social media, their team will receive corresponding rewards or punishments, regardless of whether it's good or bad.

The team will be rewarded for marketing campaigns that generate good results and trending topics.

For celebrities who trend negatively on social media, their teams will naturally be punished as well.

After thinking for a moment, Song Anyu finally decided to take responsibility as a man and deal with the matter head-on: "Running away is useless. Don't be afraid. Filming kissing scenes is not a negative news. It is the most basic professional ethics of an actor. I believe that apart from a few extreme fans, most people will support me."

Xiao Long's expression was worse than crying, but Song Anyu's words were not without reason. At this moment, Sister Hong was not around, and he did not have much experience in handling such emergency situations.

Since An Yu wanted to face it directly, he was going all out. In any case, it was An Yu's decision whether they lived or died, and even if something really happened, An Yu would not abandon them.

"Okay!" Xiao Long gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

Outside the hotel, the vans waiting to pick up the actors and take them to the film set were already waiting. The extreme fans were clever; they didn't block the elevator or cause a scene in the hotel lobby, but instead stayed by the vans.

The elevator went up and down, and most of the people who came out were hotel guests. But when the elevator reached the first floor and the door opened, it was Shen Li's team who came out, completely unaware of what had happened.

Shen Li's team has always consisted of only three people: herself, Xiao Yun, and A Pan!

The only boy, Apan, wasn't the tall, big type; he was only half a head taller than the two girls.

Almost as soon as she appeared, Shen Li was recognized by Song Anyu's fans who were waiting for her.

"It's Shen Li!"

"Shen Li! Did you film a kissing scene with An Yu?"

"Did you really kiss? Tell me!"

These people swarmed forward and instantly surrounded Shen Li and her companions. Shen Li had never seen such a scene before, and her mind went blank for a moment, completely unaware of what was happening.

Xiaoyun and Apan did their best to protect her, fearing that these extremists would hurt Shen Li.

Ah Pan remained relatively calm. Seeing that there were too many people and they couldn't get out, he quickly said, "Ah Li, let's go back, let's go back first!"

Xiaoyun shouted, "Go ask Song Anyu! What does this have to do with Ali?"

"How can it not concern her? She and An Yu are a couple in the drama!"

"Exactly! Now that their CP (couple) hashtag has surpassed a million followers, do they just stop caring about the fate of us die-hard fans?"

"An Yu has filmed so many dramas, and he's always used camera tricks for kissing before, never actually kissing anyone. Why did he kiss Shen Li for real this time?"

"She must have seduced An Yu!"

"That's right! That's right!"

These female fans went crazy, taking advantage of their numbers to surround them, leaving the group in a dilemma.

Some people even started hitting Shen Li. Xiao Yun and A Pan were outnumbered and couldn't protect her at all. Xiao Yun even cried in distress and could only desperately protect Shen Li's face.

Just then, a fan from the back of the crowd, whose arm couldn't reach, threw a stainless steel thermos cup at Shen Li's head without any hesitation. The cup was as thick as an arm, and even if it didn't leave a wound, it would definitely hurt a lot when it hit someone's head.

However, just as the thermos cup was flying through the air in an arc, someone suddenly rushed into the crowd, raised their hand, and slapped the thermos cup away.

A tense voice rang out above Shen Li's head: "Shen Li, are you alright?"
