You're My Only Star

Chapter 43 - A Sudden Hug

Fortunately, Song Xing Xing's back was facing that man and the man could not see her face. At least, Lu Xun knew that the man was unable to record Song Xing Xing's face on his phone.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Xun took out his phone to check the news. His expression darkened when he saw that his name showed up on the trending topic.

This time, he was rumored dating a fresh celebrity.

The picture of him having a meal with that said celebrity circulated on the internet. Just as he had expected, the photo was posted around fifteen minutes ago.

In this picture, only his face and Song Xing Xing's long hair were shown.

The photographer had only mentioned seeing him at a restaurant in a mall. The name of the mall was mentioned and fortunately, the man had not mentioned which restaurant he was visiting.

The reporters had come to this mall to look for him and found out Song Xing Xing's identity. Lu Xun thought that it will be a while before the reporters were going to find them. After all, there were not many seafood restaurants in the mall.

They still have some times to escape.

His gaze darkened the moment he thought of what will happen later.

With Song Xing Xing's identity, it would not do any good for her to appear if she appeared beside him as his scandal.

If her identity was exposed afterward, then, the Song's family would definitely intervene. Then, Song Xing Xing would not be able to continue and work at the studio anymore.

"Why aren't you eating?"

Lu Xun snapped out of his thought the moment he heard her voice. He lifted his head to meet her gaze and saw that the woman was eating her food happily. Her lips seemed a little shiny as it was coated with oil.

"We're in trouble."

"Ah?" Song Xing Xing lowered her chopsticks and stared back at him with her bright eyes. "What do you mean?"

Lu Xun leaned closer and whispered, "Don't look around, but someone took a picture of us together and started a rumor." He slid his phone on the table to show her the news.

Song Xing Xing put down her chopsticks and picked up the phone. Her eyes widened as she read the report. The netizens' discussion regarding her identity was particularly interesting.

Lu Xun continued to observe the person in front of him to see how she would react. He could guess that the girl would be upset.

"Oh my god! Look at this!" Song Xing Xing continued to scroll the news. "The netizens are so amusing. Suddenly, I have become a celebrity." She looked up at him and laughed. "President Lu, don't tell me that the reporters are going to write a gossip about you every girl you meet up?"

Lu Xun looked at the girl speechlessly. He was not expecting that the girl would suddenly laugh out loud. Her reaction was definitely different than what he had thought.

"You think this is interesting?"

Song Xing Xing nodded. "It seemed that you cannot go out and meet people easily. President Lu, you are also very pitiful."

Lu Xun chuckled. Song Xing Xing's reaction was very interesting. "Then, have you thought of what will happen if your face was shown on the news with me?"

The smile on her face disappeared. Song Xing Xing gasped as she suddenly realized what will happen if her face appeared on the news and she became the next trending topic. She lowered her head and tried to hide her face. "Oh god! My mother would kill me! President Lu, what should we do?"

"Relax. I'll figure out a way to get out of here." Lu Xun allowed her to reorganize her thoughts and called the waiter to pay for the meal. Once everything was settled, he stood up and stretched his hand to Song Xing Xing. "Cover your face well. Let's leave before they find us."

"Oh." Song Xing Xing lowered her head and put her hand into his. Then, she let him led her to the exit as they made their escape.

Through the window, Song Xing Xing saw a waiter carried a tray of ice cream and pouted. It looked like she had to let go of her free dessert. And she was so looking forward to eating that free ice cream!

Because of this, Song Xing Xing was despising the reporters a little bit.

As she was not paying attention, Song Xing Xing failed to see that the man in front of him had stopped on his track. She bumped into his back and her nose started to sting.

"Why did you suddenly stop?" Song Xing Xing rubbed at the tip of her nose.

Lu Xun turned around.

Before Song Xing Xing was able to figure out what had happened, she was suddenly pulled into his embrace with her face pressed on his broad chest.

His arms around her were warm and she could smell Lu Xun's cologne. She did not know what cologne he was wearing, but Song Xing Xing thought that it smelled good. It was soft and not too strong like that cologne that other men would wear.

Time seemed as if it was stopped as she continued to stay in his arms.

Her heart was beating fast and Song Xing Xing was worried that it might jump out of her body.

What was happening?

Why was this person suddenly hugging her?

This was the first time that she has been in such a situation. She did not know what she should do.

Should she hug him back?

Song Xing Xing quickly snapped out of her trance. Before she could push him away, the man had already let her go. She stared at him with her eyes wide but the man was not looking at her.

"The reporters are gone. Let's go." Lu Xun held her hand and pulled her closer.

When she heard his words, Song Xing Xing turned around quickly and saw a man carrying a big camera in his hand. The man had a wide smile on his face. It seemed that he was happy as he thought that he had found out the restaurant.

"Let's run before they could catch us."

"Oh."

Once the reporter knew that they have left, he would definitely turn around to find them again.

Song Xing Xing calmed down and compose herself as followed Lu Xun to escape.

Special Assistant Bei Yuan has been waiting at the side entrance after his boss had called him. His lips parted when he saw that his boss was dragging around a woman, It took him a few seconds to recognize the person.

He was puzzled when he saw Song Xing Xing with his boss again but the man quickly pulled himself together and greeted her politely. "Miss Song!"

Lu Xun ignored his assistant and pulled the girl into the car. "Bei Yuan, the reporters are coming for us.. Let's go."
