The two of them slowly walked down the cruise. Song Jia took care of Lu Zhen along the way to prevent her from being bumped by others. It was almost eleven o’clock when the two of them returned to the district. Song Jia sent Lu Zhen to the door and stood by the door. He said to Lu Zhen, “Rest early.”
After Song Jia left, Lu Zhen returned to her room, but she was not sleepy at all.
She recalled the scene of the two of them watching fireworks on the ship.
When she was watching the fireworks, she could vaguely feel Song Jia looking at her, but she didn’t dare to turn her head.
Although Lu Zhen didn’t have much experience in relationships, she wasn’t stupid. She could feel that Song Jia treated her a little special, but she didn’t dare to think too deeply about it. What if Song Jia only asked her to watch the performance because he was too bored during the Spring Festival alone?
Lu Zhen was afraid that she would be thinking too much.
However, she was indeed very happy tonight. She had almost no happy memories in her previous life. She had always been busy working and helping the Lu family earn money. She had almost no leisure and entertainment experience.
Seeing such beautiful fireworks tonight made Lu Zhen feel that the painting of her life seemed to have added a dazzling color.
Lu Zhen lay on the bed as sleepiness slowly overwhelmed her. Before she fell asleep, she seemed to see Song Jia looking at her. His eyes were so gentle with a faint smile, and her shadow was reflected in his eyes.
Not long after the Spring Festival, Xiaoxiao returned and told Lu Zhen on the phone that she had brought many local specialties from her hometown.
Lu Zhen was worried that it would be inconvenient for Xiaoxiao to carry her things alone, so she went downstairs to pick her up. Before leaving, she still wore a thick down jacket and a classic English-style pure wool scarf.
At the entrance of the district, Xiaoxiao carried two big duffel bags. Lu Zhen and Xiaoxiao moved them twice before taking them upstairs.
“Sister Zhenzhen, why do I feel that you’ve lost weight? Have you not eaten well these past few days?” Xiaoxiao was like an old mother. She kept feeling that she would not be able to eat or drink well without Lu Zhen.
Lu Zhen was a little amused. “I haven’t exercised much these past few days. I’ve gained a pound. How am I thin?”
Xiaoxiao smiled in embarrassment. Then, she suddenly thought of something. “By the way, Sister Zhenzhen, the day you posted on Weibo… Is the man in the photo President Song? Did he come over that day?”
Lu Zhen nodded and looked at Xiaoxiao helplessly. “You asked him to take care of me, but he actually took it seriously. After you left, he cooked dumplings for me several times. I ate until I panicked. How could I get the boss to cook dumplings for me?”
Xiaoxiao was also a little surprised. “Isn’t President Song being too considerate?”
Lu Zhen waved her hand and did not say anything else. She stretched. “The days of rest are really short. We’re going to start work again soon.”
After the new year, Lu Zhen would be engrossed in her busy work.
Just as Lu Zhen was about to participate in the filming of ‘Beauty’, Bian Lang officially announced that Lu Rou would become the female lead of the movie, ‘Chasing Fate’.
These two pieces of news were released at about the same time, so the netizens naturally compared Lu Zhen and Lu Rou.
The two of them used to be artists from Lu He’s company and were sisters in name. They were also quite famous newcomers in the entertainment industry.
Although Lu Rou had a lot of scandals some time ago, under Lu He’s marketing, Lu Rou’s current reputation was showing signs of improvement.
Lu He seemed to have the intention of letting Lu Rou continue to ride on Lu Zhen’s popularity. When “Chasing Fate” announced the start of filming, he bought some marketing accounts to create a topic and guide the audience to compare “Chasing Fate” and “Beauty”. Netizens even began to guess which movie would have a higher box office.
“Beauty” was a period drama of the Republic of China. It told a regretful love story and the feelings of the country. “Chasing Fate” was adapted from the traditional myth of China and added extremely advanced special effects technology. It was also full of gimmicks.
Both movies had their own characteristics and were scheduled to be broadcasted in the second half of this year. If the two movies were released at the same time, there might be a head-on competition.
For a moment, when Lu Zhen appeared on the Internet, Lu Rou’s name would also appear. Before the two movies started filming, they had already attracted the attention of many audiences because of the grudge between the two female leads.
At the same time, another new artist of Lu He Company, Yu Shuang, had also started broadcasting her online television drama. Because Yu Shuang had been marketing and looked similar to Lu Zhen when she debuted, she was also very
popular now. Many viewers began to pay attention to her because of her
god-like face..
