The Rebirth of a Top Star

Hearing the long-lost voice, Shen Nanqiao finally felt the reality of holding the phone in her hand. It turned out that the moment the call was dialed, the host had swiftly shoved the phone back into Shen Nanqiao's hand.

However, everyone present could hear the sound clearly from the microphone.

A gossipy look instantly appeared in their eyes.

Shen Nanqiao glanced at Zheng Yiyi beside her, and she immediately went down to find the director.

All the cameras were focused on Shen Nanqiao's face, or more precisely, on her phone.

Shen Nanqiao remained silent until evening. Song Shiyuan glanced at his contact name, confirmed it was correct, and then spoke up.

"Are you there?" At this point, Song Shiyuan couldn't help but wonder if Shen Nanqiao had accidentally touched the phone and made this impossible call.

Shen Nanqiao noticed the suggestive look in the other person's eyes before she spoke.

"Where are you now?" The question was already on the tip of her tongue when Shen Nanqiao finally realized the rules of the game and said indirectly, "It's pretty noisy over there."

In the private room in the middle of the bar, Gu Leqi, sitting next to Song Shiyuan, peeked at the notes on his phone screen.

There's no need to guess anymore; everyone knows who Nan Qiao is.

After Shen Nanqiao asked the question, Song Shiyuan didn't know what to say. It felt like they were chatting with old friends.

Gu Leqi enjoyed the scene, even to the point of open schadenfreude.

Gu Leqi gestured for everyone around him to be quiet, but only Gu Leqi curiously came closer.

Song Shiyuan didn't know how to answer. The timing was very awkward. He felt guilty, like a newlywed husband caught red-handed cheating on his wife.

Since Song Shiyuan didn't answer, someone else answered for him. Gu Leqi brought the phone closer and then suddenly said without saying a word, "Hey, isn't this the beautiful girl who dumped my brother?"

With a sly smile on his face, Song Shiyuan reached out to push Gu Leqi's head away, but before he could do so, Gu Leqi had insisted on dragging Song Shiyuan here, even forcing him to come.

If Song Shiyuan had known that Shen Nanqiao would call him, he probably would have been squatting in front of the sofa waiting patiently for the next two hours.

"What's wrong?" Song Shiyuan finally turned away from Gu Leqi's face and asked a nonchalant question.

This was clearly not what Shen Nanqiao wanted, but because of Gu Leqi's slip of the tongue a second ago, everyone in the room was now holding their breath, waiting to see what would happen next.

Shen Nanqiao clearly ignored everyone's gazes, focusing only on her phone, and then said, "No, I was just asking."

There was absolutely no sound around Shen Nanqiao; it was eerily quiet.

Song Shiyuan didn't follow the usual pattern, and Shen Nanqiao was a little unsure of what to say.

Suddenly, a few commotions came from the other side. Song Shiyuan thought about Shen Nanqiao's schedule for the day and suddenly remembered the question from earlier. As if he had just had a breakthrough, he said, "I have a party here, so it's quite noisy."

No matter how much they try to cover it up with a party, the music playing on the phone will tell you exactly where Song Shiyuan is.

Shen Nanqiao didn't care about any of that; she just wanted to finish the task as soon as possible.

Shen Nanqiao asked, "So you're at a party?" Song Shiyuan didn't answer directly. After thinking for a moment, he finally said what he wanted to say: "You're not angry with me anymore, are you?"

The boisterous laughter at the scene was clearly overwhelmed by the words spoken on the other end of the phone.

No one could have imagined witnessing a genuine confession on such a fake program.

The audience was surprised, and Shen Nanqiao was clearly surprised as well.

I always thought Song Shiyuan was a quiet and reserved person, but now he speaks without hesitation when it's time to speak.

Shen Nanqiao hesitated, but didn't know how to answer. Even Zheng Yiyi, who had initially gone to find a director to help her, was now clearly watching the show from the opposite side.

Shen Nanqiao glanced at her, not noticing Gu Ning standing behind her, who remained silent but stayed close by.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Shen Nanqiao didn't want to talk, but she didn't know what to say.

Song Shiyuan, who seemed to know what Shen Nanqiao wanted to ask, was also smart. Feeling the awkwardness of the situation, he finally gave Shen Nanqiao the answer she wanted to know.

Before Shen Nanqiao hung up the phone, Song Shiyuan left one last message.

"I'll pick you up in a bit, remember to wait for me."

The last sentence left everyone with countless fantasies, and most of them were even thinking about staying behind to see what it would be like after it ended.

Moreover, people online have already started speculating about who the surname Song represents.

Song Shiyuan deliberately waited through the back door of the recording room. He sent a message to Shen Nanqiao on WeChat and was surprised to find that Shen Nanqiao had not blocked him.

During the program, no one responded to Shen Nanqiao, so Song Shiyuan just sat in the car the whole time.

Gu Leqi, who had been trying to follow along, was driven away by Song Shiyuan, even though Song Shiyuan was driving Gu Leqi's car.

Despite not having drunk any alcohol, Song Shiyuan smelled strongly of it on his collar with a hint of disgust.

Song Shiyuan waited impatiently for the call, knowing that Shen Nanqiao would come down, even though the call was hung up on him immediately after he finished speaking.

I don't know if this is the last time I'll see him.

When Shen Nanqiao came down, Xiao Ju wasn't the only one following behind her. Several other people had followed her as soon as the show ended, eager to see which of Mr. Song's "enthusiastic audience members" it was.

There's also Zheng Yiyi, who wanted to watch the excitement, along with the host whose face practically screamed gossip.

Shen Nanqiao was extremely annoyed; she wished she hadn't taken the show.

Shen Nanqiao opened her phone and found the WeChat message from Song Shiyuan, sending the message she had to send: "Just stay in the car, give me the license plate number, and don't get out."

Who knows how many cameras are following behind the group of people who are out in the open? Even if Shen Nanqiao has reached an agreement with the director not to release this segment, it won't stop the gossip from spreading.

Shen Nanqiao doesn't need to open her phone to know what kind of trending topic is on the hot search list.

Zheng Yiyi was clearly gloating, following closely beside Shen Nanqiao, her smile more obvious than anyone else's.

Shen Nanqiao said cryptically, "You don't need to get in the car with me!"

Shen Nanqiao watched as Zheng Yiyi's pace quickened, and thought to herself how lucky it was that Zheng Yiyi didn't know which car it was.

Shen Nanqiao's phone chimed, and she saw a message from Song Shiyuan. It wasn't a license plate or location, just a message: "The dark blue sports car, the flashiest one by the back door."

Since Song Shiyuan used the word "flamboyant," Shen Nanqiao was not worried at all that she wouldn't recognize him. She didn't even need to guess. With her eyes fixed on the brightest car she saw, Shen Nanqiao pulled Xiaoju straight to the back seat.

Fortunately, Gu Leqi's modified car could seat a third person; otherwise, Xiao Ju would have had to sacrifice herself and take a taxi home today.

Upon their first meeting, Shen Nanqiao didn't look up at Song Shiyuan, and Song Shiyuan didn't dare to speak either. All that could be heard was Shen Nanqiao saying, "Drive away quickly!"
