Chapter 15 Hot Search Chaos and Apology
How could anyone cause such a huge mess?
Ji Mingxu and I pretended nothing happened and finished recording the rest of the process.
But the hot searches were already set.
Some entries even carried a subtly mocking tone.
#Ji Mingxu Playing with Poop#
#Ji Mingxu's Childhood Friend's Shocking Revelation#
Anyway, this time I really rode a huge wave.
After the shoot wrapped, I checked the various messages on my phone and felt I should go apologize to Ji Mingxu.
Before I could seek him out, my agent's call came first.
"Jiang Dai, how come you never mentioned knowing Ji Mingxu?"
I was still annoyed. "What about knowing him?"
My agent sounded frustrated. "If you'd mentioned this connection earlier, how could the company have sidelined you?
Today the executives held a meeting about you and decided to allocate resources.
I specially selected a few good roles for you.
They're not leads, but your prospects are about to brighten! "
Honestly, my agent was really great.
She had several rising artists under her yet still remembered me, who was half-shelved.
"Agent, my contract with the company expires this year, right?" I interrupted her grand vision.
She paused sharply, seeming to catch my meaning.
Whether I liked it or not, I had ridden Ji Mingxu's popularity. After today, I would gain the corresponding heat and thus commercial value.
After hanging up, I waited until late at night to go find Ji Mingxu. But the moment I stepped out, I bumped into him as he walked up to the door.
"Where are you heading so late?" he asked.
I felt guilty. "To find you."
"What for?"
I let him in. Then I placed my left palm flat upward, put my right index and middle fingers on it, and curled them to mimic a kneeling figure.
"I'm sorry. I was wrong." I couldn't actually kneel down.
"Where exactly?" Ji Mingxu looked at me and asked softly.
I lowered my head and murmured, "I shouldn't have said on the show that you ran around naked playing with poop as a kid..."
Ji Mingxu said, "... Not that."
I looked up, hesitant. "Isn't that embarrassing enough?"
“...”
He seemed angry again.
I gazed at Ji Mingxu and asked cautiously, "Then will you forgive me?"
Ji Mingxu sighed softly. He pinched his brow. "I don't blame you. Tonight's incident was our shared responsibility."
"Then are you heading back first?" I asked again. "It's so late. Staying in my room long won't look good."
Ji Mingxu left. Before he did, he sneered. "Thanks to you, I'm now overnighting in the same room with you. People will think we're just chatting under the blanket."
Further down the hot searches was another entry.
