Chapter 81 Counterattack, Writing a Song for Vivian Chow
"No... it's you..."
Zhou Huimin's refusal was immediately shut down.
He tried to struggle, but He Xi had already begun to exert her strength.
Then, she...
It took a long time before Zhou Huimin was helped into the private room and sat down.
As the door closed, the blush on Zhou Huimin's face gradually faded, and she turned to glare at He Xi.
"Why are you so reckless? What if someone takes a picture?"
He Xi shrugged innocently.
"No, Vivian, you publicly announced that I'm your boyfriend in front of so many media reporters."
"She just called me 'darling' a moment ago."
"As your dear boyfriend, isn't it normal for us to have some intimate moments?"
"Otherwise, people will think we're pretending to be a couple to impress someone!"
Zhou Huimin fell silent.
From the very beginning, she had asked He Xi to pretend to be her boyfriend in order to deliberately anger her ex-boyfriend Ni Zhen.
I noticed the reporters taking photos in the distance earlier, which is why I hugged He Xi and let them take pictures.
I just didn't expect the other party to take the initiative.
How come I never noticed before that this young man was so reckless?
In such a short time, I actually bumped into her.
Young people, really...
On the other side, He Xi continued speaking.
"Actually, I didn't want to make things difficult for you, Vivian."
"I was just getting into character, and Vivian, you're so beautiful, it made me a little unable to resist."
"Why don't you hold another press conference, Vivian, to clarify things?"
"That way we won't have to put on an act in front of others. I'm afraid I might lose control of my emotions again and do something intimate with you in public."
"I know it's wrong, but I'm a man, and there are some things I can't control."
"As for the reason for breaking up, just say I'm a jerk who cheated on me with someone else."
"I'm a newbie, so I don't care about reputation or anything like that. The important thing is not to let Vivian suffer any losses."
After He Xi finished speaking, she sighed deeply, and her eyes gradually became vacant.
The slight resentment in Zhou Huimin's heart vanished instantly.
She immediately got up, sat down next to He Xi, and put her arm around his.
"Ah Xi, you've misunderstood. That's not what I meant."
"I'm just... a little taken aback, I just couldn't accept it all at once."
"We can't break up so soon, and we certainly can't use the reasons you gave. It will be very bad for your future!"
"Um, I'll get used to it after a few more times, just give me some time..."
"All right."
He Xi nodded and added.
"However, Vivian, if I do anything that makes you uncomfortable, please feel free to tell me. We can end this relationship anytime."
After a series of strategic retreats, Zhou Huimin had completely forgotten He Xi's recklessness at the door, and her face was full of satisfaction and guilt towards him.
Soon, Vivian Chow called the waiter to serve the dishes, and the two chatted over red wine.
She called He Xi this time, but it wasn't anything major; it was just a simple meeting for the media to take photos.
As celebrities, they both need this kind of exposure.
Moreover, this meeting also serves as proof of their previously announced relationship.
Just as He Xi said, some media outlets did publish articles claiming that the relationship between the two was fake.
Zhou Huimin only used He Xi as a shield to disgust Ni Zhen.
Among them, the "yes!" magazine was the most vocal.
It was clearly Ni Zhen's doing to portray Zhou Huimin as a loser who could only resort to fabrication to gain media attention after her breakup.
He Xi's reckless behavior just now certainly serves as a strong rebuttal to this claim.
They were passionately kissing right at the entrance of the private room.
The media would surely come up with headlines like "Mars collides with Earth," "Teeth are kissed off," and "Two and a half minutes of passionate kiss, human tongue turns into pig's tongue."
Then, just post the photo, write some captions, and you'll have a buzz.
"Yes!" There was nothing more to say from that side.
"Impossible. You underestimate Ni Zhen. Even so, he'll still say we were acting, after all..."
"We're both actors!"
After a few drinks, Vivian Chow's attitude became much more sincere, and her gaze towards He Xi became gentle and dreamy.
In the original story, Sandra Ng once said on a program that "a certain innocent-looking woman in the Hong Kong entertainment circle is very playful in private and specializes in collecting male stars."
Then many people pinned the blame on Vivian Chow.
After all, when it comes to the "pure and innocent" actresses of Hong Kong, almost everyone thinks of her first.
Song Quede insisted that it was Zhou Huimin.
Although Sandra Ng later clarified that it was just a joke for the sake of the show and that such a person did not exist.
But scandals are like having poop on your finger; no matter how clean you wash it, your fingertips always feel dirty.
Zhou Huimin's image in many people's minds has also suffered some damage.
He Xi didn't know if it was true or not; he simply felt that Zhou Huimin looked very beautiful and charming when she was slightly tipsy.
"Sister Vivian, don't you want to fight back properly?"
"Wait a moment."
Zhou Huimin waved her hand in front of He Xi.
"We're a couple now, so please don't call me 'sister' in public anymore, just call me Vivian."
"Okay, Vivian."
He Xi readily agreed and took the opportunity to grab Zhou Huimin's hand.
"I mean, we can't just passively fight back like this; we need to take the initiative!"
"How should we attack? Should we just argue with him? That would look terrible."
Zhou Huimin gently pulled her hand away, but couldn't budge it, so she stopped trying.
He Xi smiled smugly.
"No need for insults, you can sing."
"I have a friend from mainland China named Teacher Xiaolou. He recently wrote a song that I feel would suit you very well."
Zhou Huimin looked up and stared at He Xi with a look of surprise and delight.
"You can write songs?"
"No, I meant a friend of mine, Teacher Xiaolou..."
"When people say 'I have a friend,' aren't they usually referring to themselves?"
Zhou Huimin's words left He Xi speechless.
"Okay, that's not important. What's important is that I feel this song is perfect for you to sing."
"Yeah?"
Zhou Huimin stopped questioning and instead urged him with curiosity.
"Then, could you sing it for me?"
He Xi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Okay, my singing is so-so, just listen to it casually for now."
In the original timeline, He Xi was just a karaoke enthusiast, a karaoke queen among her classmates and colleagues, but a complete novice compared to professional singers.
It's the kind of sound that can't reach high notes, can't reach low notes, and is also unstable.
After transmigrating, although I have already obtained many special rewards, none of them are related to music.
We can only use the "high-energy state" as a temporary measure.
Once she was in the zone, He Xi's singing still lacked technique, but... it was all emotion.
"Are you surprised and speechless? Yes, I mean, do you want to break up?"
"You tamed me, like a sheep. Why would I bite you back, do you know?"
Looking back, I've walked with you, but we've never been happy. We've been through fire and water, yet why was there no river of love along the way...?
At first, there was nothing wrong, but as she listened to the next few sentences, Zhou Huimin's expression changed.
"When did Ah Xi sit behind me? Isn't it a bit too intimate for him to hug me like that..."
"But this song is so beautiful, and the lyrics are so well-written. Would it be inappropriate to interrupt him now...?"
