His lips couldn’t help but lift up. She really likes this pancake.
She appeared in front of him in less than a minute. She didn’t even change her clothes. She simply put on a coat and came out.
Li Shen passed the paper bag of pancakes to her and said, “It’s cooled down. It might not taste as good as it was before.”
“It doesn’t matter as long as I get to eat it!” She took the bag and saw that there were two pieces inside, “There’s two, you’re not going to eat any?”
“No, it’s easy to gain weight eating at night.”
Yu Wan, “.....”
Oh, but you still got me two pieces. :)
The pancakes are individually wrapped. She took one out and handed it to him, “Don’t you have late night runs? Eat this and digest it afterward.”
Li Shen let out a chuckle and wordlessly took the pancake into his hand. Yu Wan took a bite of the one in her hand. Although it is cold, the pastry is still crisp. She happily narrowed her eyes and asked, “How did you buy it? Wouldn’t you get recognized?”
“I asked my assistant to buy it. I happened to be in the area for a rehearsal.”
Yu Wan looked up at him, “Rehearsal? You have a performance coming up?”
“En, it is a fiftieth-anniversary celebration for the conservatory.”
“Oh!” Yu Wan curiously asked, “Can anyone go”
“Of course not. Only students in the conservatory and those who receive invites can go.”
“Oh….” Yu Wan lowered her eyes in disappointment. No one sent her an invitation.
Li Shen studied her appearance and asked, “Do you want to go? I can get you an invitation.”
“Really?” Yu Wan’s eyes brightened again, “When will it be held?”
“March 5th.”
Yu Wan took out her phone and checked her calendar, “Ah, I have to go out of town to meet a wedding host that day. I don’t know if I can make it back in time.”
It is hard to find a wedding host for Hu Jiao. After inquiring for so long, she finally found one who meets the requirements. It’s just that she is not in the industry so she has to interview her first.
Li Shen replied, “No worries, I can help you get an invite first. If you come back in time, you can go watch.”
“Ah, thank you.” Yu Wan was slightly embarrassed, “I owe you another favor.”
“Getting an invite is no big deal, you don’t have to worry about it.” Li Shen glanced at her, “Oh right, I received Hu Jiao’s wedding invitation. It’s very pretty. Did you also design it?”
Yu Wan let out a light laugh, “I worked on it with my designer. Miss Hu is very picky so we went through quite a few drafts.”
Li Shen lightly nodded. He raised the pancake in his hand and smiled, “I’ll head back first. Thanks for the pancake.”
“You’re welcome.”
Only when Li Shen had walked further away did Yu Wan reacted…..didn’t he buy the pancake?
On the day of the celebration, A City’s Conservatory is crowded. In addition to students and invited guests, a lot of media outlets came. Many of Li Shen’s fans heard of the news and arrived on the scene with cameras on hand. However, the school’s security is very strict this time and those without invitations are not allowed to enter the school gates.
Before Yu Wan arrived back to A City from her meeting, Li Shen had already gone on stage. Many students posted a video of it online and the media is constantly giving updates. Yu Wan watched the entire thing on her phone while on the train ride back..
When Li Shen went onstage, the cheers from the crowd reached its peak. 《Heartstring》is a really popular song. Even those who don’t follow the star have heard it on the TV.
Yu Wan watched the video and didn’t hear much of Li Shen’s singing from beginning to end. She mostly heard the collective chorus of the audience.
But it doesn’t matter. Li Shen’s appearance is already a treat for the eyes. :)
Yu Wan looked at the invitation in her bag and sighed. After Li Shen went off stage, she sent him a message.
Yu Wan: I still couldn’t make it _(:з」∠)_ what a waste.
If she had known, she would’ve given it to Zhao Xin and let her go instead.
Li Shen was only able to look at his phone after being escorted back into his car. There were a lot of unread messages on his phone but he only clicked on the one sent by Yu Wan.
It’s already past nine, Yu Wan still hasn’t returned?
Li Shen: Where are you at?
Yu Wan: I’m still on the train. I still have half an hour until I’m back at A City.
Li Shen: How are you getting back home? Is someone going to pick you up?
Yu Wan: My boss said he’s going to come to pick me up.
Li Shen slightly raised a brow, boss? A boss who would go to the train station at ten in the evening to pick up his employee?
Li Shen: Is your boss that President Wei from Manager Guo’s wedding?
Yu Wan: Yes, he is really nice.
Li She snorted. Yes, nice.
“Brother Shen, the pancake shop is still open. Do you want me to buy some?” Xiao Dong happened to catch a glimpse of it as the car passed by.
Chi Lu also came for the performance today. When she heard what Xiao Dong said, she asked, “What pancake?”
Xiao Dong points out the window, “It’s that shop where students are lining up. Brother Shen likes it.”
Chi Lu looked out and saw a small shabby shop. She asked in surprise, “You like that? Is it clean?”
“It’s okay, students aren’t really picky.” He put on his cap and said to Xiao Dong, “I don’t want any today.”
“Oh.” Xiao Dong saw him put on his cap which covers his face and glanced at Chi Lu who quickly returned her gaze. Chi Lu’s expression was a little complicated. Seeing that Li Shen isn’t going to move, she turned to Xiao Dong, “You bought it for him before? What would happen if he gets an upset stomach and delay filming?”
“...” Xiao Dong felt that she had been unreasonably attacked, “I don’t think so. When I went to buy it, the boss was quite hygienic. Besides, it located by the school and they sell it to many students a day. If there was a problem, the shop would’ve closed down long ago.”
Chi Lu looked a bit hurt, “I see that you have been around Li Shen for a long time now. You even know how to talk back.”
Xiao Dong, “.....”
Forget it, Sister Lulu is in a bad mood and the person who provoked her is keeping mum. It looks like she would have to take the blow and keep the peace, “Sorry Sister Lulu, I won’t do it again.”
Chi Lu pursed her lips and wordlessly lean back in her seat. Xiao Dong turned back around and glanced at Li Shen through the rearview mirror. It looks like something is wrong between Sister Lulu and Brother Shen recently.
Currently, in the entertainment industry, it is not uncommon to see agents and their artists be at odds with each other. Some fans would even go as far as to attack the agent. If Brother Shen and Sister Lulu’s relationship were to reach a breaking point….she would definitely firmly stand beside Brother Shen, humph!
Xiao Dong and Chi Lu left after sending Li Shen home. Li Shen habitually went out for a run and went back in to shower. After he came out, he looked in the direction of Yu Wan’s home and saw that the lights were on.
After contemplating for a while, he put down his towel and sent a message to Yu Wan.
Li Shen: Are you home?
Yu Wan: Yes
Li Shen: Where’s your boss?
Yu Wan: Are you talking about President Wei? He left right after he sent me home. He should probably be home as well.
Li Shen: Oh, then you should rest early. Good night.
Yu Wan slightly tilted her head and looked at hers and Li Shen’s text messages. Did he want to know if she got home safely or if Cheif Wei had come home? Why does he care so much about Cheif Wei?
She replied to Li Shen with a good night and went to take a bath.
The music conservatory’s celebration event was very boisterous. Many people speculate that the school’s enrollment rate will increase significantly this year.
The topic of whether the school’s enrollment rate will reach a new high is unknown, but because it is Li Shen’s alma mater, many people are drawn to it, his college romance was brought to light.
The first who broke this news was a marketing account that frequently reveals celebrity gossip. A netizen who claimed to be a student at A City’s Music Conservatory provided the information. This informant claimed that Li Shen had a girlfriend in college and it is very well-known, almost all the teachers and students know.
Important Orange003: Li Shen was very popular in college. When he started dating, all the girls were heartbroken for a long time. His girlfriend isn’t from school and is older than him. The two often spread dog food around campus.
Important Orange003: The Room 4 piano room in our school is very famous. Many great masters in the music industry practiced there, including Li Shen. Because it is a very special room, it is difficult to make an appointment. If they were able to snatch an appointment, they would leave some words behind.
Important Orange003: Now, all four walls of the piano room are filled. Li Shen also wrote some words while practicing in there. However, his words were different from others. Guess what he wrote.
Important Orange003: He drew an umbrella. Under the umbrella, he wrote Li Shen on one side and the other Lily. :)
Important Orange003: It can be said to be overkill. I still have a picture of it. I will share it with you.
Important Orange003: [Pic]
The marketing account posted the content of the private message and in less than an hour, it reached the top of the hot search. Other media outlets also joined the bandwagon and wrote the news of “Li Shen’s College Romance.”
After the news reached the hot search, the ones who would take a hit would be Li Shen’s fans. Those who are waiting to see a good show expect the fans to be crying in despair and turn Weibo into a battleground. And if it were to get a little overboard, the fan club might announce its dissolution!
However, none of this happened. Li Shen’s fans are busy attacking Huang Yue–– this year’s 《Heavenly Voice》’s runnerup.
“Important Orange 003 has been exposed, this person is a fan of Huang Yue. Don’t act reckless, just focus your energy on Huang Yue. [Smile]”
“Huang Yue’s fans sure are foul. After all, when Huang Yue took Li Shen’s microphone during the competition, the fans just follow along [smile]”
“We fans already know Shenshen was in a relationship in college. During the competition, he even said he wrote《Lily》in college. Everyone knows this song was written out of love [smile] Trying to cause trouble before the Song Ballad Award. Don’t think we can’t see right through you [smile]”
“Hahaha Huang Yue’s fans thought that once Brother Shen’s college romance is exposed, we would not support him anymore. His fans sure are sweet.”
“I’ve got nothing to say. Just wait until Song Ballad Award to get slapped in the face [smile]”
Yu Wan had been busy the past two days. When she heard the news, it was Zhou Xiaoning who told her. The first thing she said to her was, “Your and Li Shen’s matter has been exposed!” Yu Wan almost had a heart attack.
She took a look on Weibo and saw that the situation wasn’t as bad as she thought. Her heart slowly calmed down. However, she is still worried about Li Shen, afraid that he has a lot of pressure. She didn’t want to bother him so she simply sent him a message.
Yu Wan: I saw what is going on, how is everything on your end? Will this matter have a big impact on you?
Yu Wan: If there is anything you need to do, just tell me.
When Li Shen learned about this from his agent, he panicked. After reading all the information, he was glad he wrote Lily.
If he had written Yu Wan, what would’ve happened to her? Thinking up here, he felt that Huang Yue is abominable.
“Currently, things aren’t as bad as we thought. After the Song Ballad Award is over, this matter will naturally pass.”
The Chinese Song Ballad Award and the Music Awards Ceremony are two of the most important awards in the music industry. One is at the beginning of the year and the other at the end. Li Shen is this year’s biggest dark horse so many people are optimistic about him.
“Just like the fans said, when the time comes, speak of it at the award show.” Chi Lu said to him.
Li Shen, who is sitting on the sofa, casually responded with an “en.” There is no emotion in his tone. Chi Lu fell silent and asked, “Is this college girlfriend the ex you spoke of?”
“En.”
“Is it Yu Wan?”
Li Shen looked up at Chi Lu. His eyes were sharper than he had seen before, “How do you know Yu Wan?”
Chi Lu chuckled. Based on his reaction, she knew she guessed correctly, “You may not know this but you call out her name in your sleep.”
Li Shen frowned and tightly pursed his lips.
Chi Lu put away the smile on her lips and said with a warning, “I don’t care who your ex-girlfriend is or who Yu Wan is. In short, you have to cleanly break it off. Do you think your fans are going to help you like this the next time news of your current girlfriend is released?:
Li Shen looked down at the ground. After a while, he simply said, “I know what I’m doing.”
Chi Lu moved his mouth but she didn’t say it. “That’s good. You better not joke about your career.”
Li Shen frowned, “I am a singer, my career is my music. As long as the music is good, does it matter whether the singer is single or not?”
“If you were uglier, then it wouldn’t matter.”
“.....” Li Shen stayed silent for a moment, “What you mean is, they just like my face and not my music?”
“That’s not what I mean.” Of course, Chi Lu knows Li Shen’s strength. His two songs are really good and are enjoyed by many. However, that does not mean the fans don’t like his face.
“I already said what I ought to. You clearly think about it.” Chi Lu finished and walked out of Li Shen’s lounge. Li Shen took out the cigarette that Yu Wan likes. He held it in his mouth and exhaled.
After he calmed down a bit, he took out his phone and logged onto Weibo, only to find two messages from Yu Wan. After reading it, he replied, “No impact. The company will handle it. You don’t have to worry.”
Yu Wan had been paying attention to how the situation would unfold. Just as she was about to reply to Li Shen’s message, a notification for Weibo popped up.
Li Shen gave an update.
Li Shen V: I sincerely apologize for taking up everyone’s time and network resources because of my private affairs which have caused a huge discussion on the internet. I will solemnly reflect on this matter and I again apologize to everyone here. I shouldn’t have scribbled on the school’s wall and damaged the school’s public property. Everyone, please take this as a warning to be a civilized person and respect public property.
Thank you for the chapter ;) it's really nice novel
