Promising Star - C68
As Mu Chen listened to Xiao Jia Yu’s speech, he was somewhat amazed by what she knew.
Looking at the love locks that hung on both sides of the bridge, he said to Mu Chen, “There has always been a love lock in Europe, but this bridge is the most popular place for couples all over the world. Some people say that hanging the lock on the bridge and then throwing the key in the river represents eternal love, and there are quite a few people who really want to use this way to hope that their lover will never change his mind.”
Mu Chen looked seriously at Xiao Jia Yu and asked: “Then do you believe that?”
Xiao Jia Yu was startled before she replied: “I don’t believe him. I think he himself is not very confident in this relationship, so he might have tried to keep her in some other way. But the truth is, the human heart is the most unpredictable, and no one can control it.”
However, Mu Chen suddenly said: “I actually quite believe that. Since you don’t believe me, then I’ll put a lock on it myself.”
Xiao Jia Yu saw him take out a lock from his bag and said in shock: “So you were prepared. I thought you didn’t know, but you actually talked about so much along the way.”
Mu Chen hurriedly said, “I indeed don’t know much about the things you’ve previously told me, but I still believe in this famous Bridge of Love.” As he said this, he hung up the lock. Just as he was about to take out the key to lock the door, he suddenly turned around and looked at Xiao Jiayi. “You lock the door, and then you throw the key away.”
Xiao Jiayu purposely said, “But I just said that I don’t really believe it.”
However, Mu Chen replied with a faint smile, “In any case, I’ve already placed my heart in your hands. As for whether you accept it or not, that will depend on your decision.”
For the first time, Xiao Jia Yu felt that Mu Chen’s dishonest appearance was real. She took the lock from his hand and quickly locked it. After looking at him once more, she threw the key into the river.
As expected, Mu Chen was very satisfied with her performance. He took the initiative to hold her hand and said with a smile: “My heart is locked by you, the key has also been thrown away by you. From now on, you have to be responsible for me.”
Xiao Jia Yu felt her face turn red, but she still smiled and said: “What if I don’t want to take responsibility?”
Mu Chen replied in a rather aggrieved manner, “Then, I’ll jump into the Seine River and wait for you to save me.”
Xiao Jia Yu laughed, “Your swimming skills are much better than mine. Even if you jump down, you can still swim up by yourself.” She ran off.
Mu Chen looked back at the lock he had hung on the wall and chased after Xiao Jia Yu.
The two of them played around on the banks of the Seine for a long time before they met a lifelike street painter. Xiao Jia Yu quickly pulled Mu Chen to a stop and asked him to help draw two pictures of them together.
After the young painter finished painting the two of them, he praised them sincerely in English that was not quite the standard, “You two are so good-looking, I wish you two can be together forever.”
Xiao Jiayu seemed to have completely forgotten that she was recording a reality show with Mu Chen. The program team had always been emphasizing that the guests of both genders must have some sort of spark as if they were acting. But today, she didn’t know that Mu Chen was acting, but she almost couldn’t control her emotions. The feeling of truly liking someone might not even be able to be put on display.
Their last stop was at the Eiffel Tower, a landmark in the city of Paris, where they were to be separated.
Xiao Jia Yu had come to France before, but she had never felt so complicated before. She and Mu Chen arrived at the Eiffel Tower very quickly and went straight up to the third floor.
The Eiffel Tower receives many tourists every day, and today is no exception. When Mu Chen stood next to Xiao Jiayu and looked down at the smaller version of Paris with her, he suddenly felt that it wasn’t real. He suddenly held Xiao Jiayi’s hand and asked with a smile, “We’ve been recording together for so long, you’ve never told me how you feel about me.”
Xiao Jia Yu smiled and turned her head to look at him, asking him: “What do you want me to say now?”
Mu Chen raised his hand to pinch her face and said with a smile, “Of course I’m trying to pick up something nice to talk about.”
Xiao Jia Yu hurriedly replied in a serious manner: “You are very rich and tall. The most important thing is that you also have beauty. You are simply an upgraded version of a perfect, rich and handsome man.”
However, Mu Chen said with some disappointment, “I want to know if I have the other half’s merits that you once thought of.”
Xiao Jia Yu then shook her head and laughed: “I have never thought about what kind of partner I want to find. I want to wait until we meet each other, then I will know what kind of partner I like. Besides, if you really like a person, even if it’s his shortcomings, they might turn into advantages. Love is tolerance. ”
Mu Chen lowered his head and asked her seriously: “Did you meet her now? or have you ever met one? ”
Xiao Jia Yu paused, and then nodded: “I think I met him.”
Mu Chen’s face was filled with a brilliant smile, for a moment it seemed as though he could dazzle a person’s eyes. He suddenly reached out and took Xiao Jia Yu into his embrace, saying lovingly: “I will always remember the time I spent with you. Thank you for bringing me happiness.”
“I want to thank you.” Thank you for giving me a perfect first love even if it was just a play. As she spoke, she hugged him back. The two of them held each other for a long time, unwilling to disturb each other.
After they had somewhat calmed down, Mu Chen let go of Xiao Jia Yu and took out a small box from his bosom, handing it over to her, “I know that we’re going to separate now, but I don’t want to leave nothing behind. I’ve given you many gifts in the program. This is the last time, but you can’t open it now.”
Xiao Jia Yu hurriedly put the box into her bag and asked: “When can I open it?”
Mu Chen replied very seriously, “You can only open it when you’re by yourself. You can’t let anyone see it.”
Xiao Jia Yu hurriedly nodded her head, thinking that this gift couldn’t be opened in the program any longer.
Suddenly, someone reminded Xiao Jia Yu that they had to leave in a minute. Xiao Jia Yu looked at Mu Chen in disbelief, her face full of reluctance, before she opened her mouth and said: “I’m leaving, do you have anything you want to say to me now?”
Mu Chen raised his hand to rub her hair and smiled. “Don’t forget our agreement in Bordeaux. Next time, we will go and get the wine together. “And …” The warmth in his eyes swept over her like seawater. “Like I said, you don’t have to be so reluctant. This isn’t the end.”
Xiao Jia Yu obediently nodded her head, but her eyes were still red from being unable to control herself. She begged again: “Can you send me down to get on the carriage?”
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Mu Chen naturally couldn’t refuse and took the initiative to hold her hand. However, he didn’t expect her to suddenly come over and kiss his lips, leaving at the first touch.
It was rare for her to take the initiative. Even though Mu Chen knew that she was still recording, he still fell into a momentary daze. By the time he had reacted, he had already lowered his head and fiercely kissed her. Regardless of whether he was a reality show or an audience member, he only knew that he didn’t want to see Xiao Jia Yu cry again.
Xiao Jia Yu was very surprised by Mu Chen’s actions, but she tiptoed to respond to his actions. Their actions clearly exceeded the program’s expectations, but no staff member came to disturb them. The two kisses were not repulsive at all, and instead made people feel sad.
It was unknown if it was because of some local festival, but from afar, flames were rising, lighting up the dark sky.
In the dark night, under the starry sky, they parted ways. There were lovers that did not wish to part ways.
In the end, Mu Chen still had one last bit of reason to not dare to overdo it. He kissed her a little and forced himself to stop before he even gave her a deep kiss. Still holding her in his arms, he gently coaxed her, “You’re not allowed to cry. Otherwise, I really won’t be able to say goodbye to you properly.”
Xiao Jia Yu responded with an “En”, this time allowing him to hold her hand and leave.
The car was already waiting at the prearranged location. When Mu Chen and Xiao Jiayu arrived, Xiao Jia Yu glanced at him once more before turning around and entering the car. She still felt reluctant to part with him, so she rolled down the window and waved goodbye to Mu Chen. However, the program team also wanted to create a sad atmosphere before leaving, so the car quickly started and drove very fast. Soon, she really couldn’t see Mu Chen anymore.
Actually, the arrangement this time was only for Xiao Jia Yu’s director to accompany her back to the country. She might even hold a slaughter banquet, but the stars in the stage were all on tight terms, so they might not be able to gather everyone together.
Xiao Jia Yu consoled herself by saying that she was only returning to the imperial capital first. She would be able to quickly wait for Mu Chen to return, but she didn’t know whether it was because she had entered the drama too deeply, and just couldn’t bear to part with Mu Chen.
The director looked over at Xiao Jia Yu. There was no longer any camera to follow her and she was able to speak without any hesitation. She asked curiously, “Jia Yu, if you didn’t know we were recording, I would have felt that you were with Director Mu.”
At this time, Xiao Jia Yu’s eyes were still red with tears. She obviously felt guilty, but she still asked with a smile: “Why do you think that?”
The little girl hurriedly smiled and replied, “There is a kind of tacit understanding between the two of you that has nothing to do with the plot between us. In short, it feels like it’s something that cannot be played out. Actually, after this program has been filmed for so long, the few of us, who bring celebrities, will also discuss you guys in private. Everyone says that we have good luck this time, no matter what you guys look like on TV, you are all very humble and polite people in private. As she said this, she laughed out loud, “We all said that Jiang Qing is passionate about Shen Feng, while An Deqiu is passionate about Cheng Lan. Only you and Director Mu seem to have a chance.
Xiao Jiayu suddenly asked, “Lingling, do you have a boyfriend?”
The little girl hurriedly nodded her head, but she seemed a little distressed, “My boyfriend is an airplane pilot, he flies in the sky a lot of times. My work is also very frequent outside, the two of us have always been together quite a bit, to be able to hold on until now is a miracle even to me.”
Xiao Jia Yu then asked, “Then what happens when you date?”
The director frowned and replied, “We’ll find a way to meet her whenever we have time. Since we’re in love, we should do our best to maintain this relationship.”
