Xie Jianyuan calmly wiped the corner of his mouth with his thumb, revealing an exceptionally alluring smile, his tone as mellow and deep as a cello sonata.
"Don't worry, they didn't see it."
Xu Chun looked around and noticed that the sunshade they were in was quite secluded, with a nanny van providing some cover, which put her at ease.
Even so, Xu Chun still frowned and gently scolded, "Don't do that again, in front of so many people..."
"Is Brother Chun scared?" Xie Jianyuan's eyes darkened, and he crouched down slightly to look directly into Chun-ge's eyes.
Xu Chun was slightly taken aback by his gaze, and finally sighed softly, reaching out to stroke his black hair as if patiently soothing a grumpy dog.
She had to admit that seeing him with eyes full of her own made Xu Chun feel a bittersweet feeling.
"It's too complicated to explain in detail." Xu Chun paused, then abruptly looked away, her face slightly flushed, and said in a barely audible voice, "... Of course, feeling embarrassed is also one of the reasons."
Xie Jianyuan smiled, then leaned forward slightly and gently bit his slightly reddened earlobe. His voice was low and husky, with a hint of amusement in it.
"So cute."
Xu Chun quickly covered her ears, stammering, "What... what are you saying? You're so disrespectful!"
Xie Jianyuan blinked calmly, "I was just stating the truth as I was thinking."
Xu Chun was completely at a loss with him, so she could only purse her lips, turn her face away from him, and begin to sulk by herself.
Xie Jianyuan, then he forcefully turned Xie Jianyuan's chin to make him look directly at him. His expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Actually, I've always been very afraid, afraid that you will leave me."
"I can only rack my brains to list all the factors that might affect our relationship, and then devise plans to eliminate them one by one."
"No matter what it is, even if one day you get tired of me, I will never let you leave."
Xu Chun stared into Xie Jianyuan's dark eyes, somewhat surprised by the meaning behind his words, but without feeling any rejection. He knew that Xie Jianyuan truly cared about him, and had to admit that Xie Jianyuan was somewhat obsessive in certain ways, a fact he had vaguely sensed before.
Once such a person has made up their mind, it is very difficult to change it.
Xu Chun smiled slightly and said softly, "I won't go back on my word once I've made up my mind."
Anyone who knows Xu Chun will praise him, saying he has almost no flaws. He is polite, ambitious, filial, and loyal, and treats everyone with great gentleness, yet he maintains a subtle distance. Xie Jianyuan an exception.
At first, because of Jiang Xiuyan, he had a preconceived notion of some inexplicable hostility towards him. Later, he discovered that Jiang Xiuyan was not at all like he had imagined. He was mature and steady, which was not what one would expect for someone his age.
Moreover, as his junior, he spontaneously took on the heavy responsibility of taking care of him, and was extremely considerate and meticulous.
He couldn't pinpoint exactly when Xie Jianyuan truly entered his closed-off heart, but once he made a decision, Xu Chun never regretted it.
The online debate surrounding Xie Jianyuan has finally subsided considerably. The few overzealous fans who were previously criticized have been thoroughly refuted by rational fans who have presented evidence to expose many troublemakers. These troublemakers are mostly fans of rival groups who have a grudge against Xie Jianyuan's fans, and many of them are also fans of Xu Chun.
However, when it comes to fan wars, even if the fans fight fiercely, it won't have any impact on the relationship between the celebrities, unless the war is caused by a romantic relationship between a male and female celebrity, in which case the teams of both sides will try to avoid the situation.
Xu Chun was helpless about the tense relationship between the two sides' fans, but of course it didn't affect the relationship between the two of them. Moreover, he discovered an interesting phenomenon while "spying" on the fan circle.
"Look, there are quite a few fans of our CP (couple pairing), and they've even created a Super Topic, with a considerable number of followers."
Xu Chun sat cross-legged on the bed, eager to show Xie Jianyuan some of the food. Xie Jianyuan, who was drying his hair, casually hummed in response, "I know."
"How did you know?" Xu Chun turned to look at him in confusion.
Xie Jianyuan said without changing his expression, "I've browsed the Super Topic."
Xu Chun choked, "When?"
"I just went to see it a few days ago." Xie Jianyuan changed the airflow, and the noise from the hairdryer decreased significantly, making his voice clearer.
Xu Chun asked curiously, "What's inside?"
Xie Jianyuan: "It has everything." He paused, then added, "In every sense."
Xu Chun immediately stopped talking, his intuition telling him it was best not to press the matter further.
Just after Xu Chun rejected an endorsement offer from a certain mobile phone brand, another well-known brand immediately offered her an endorsement deal.
However, this time Xu Chun wasn't the Xu Chun named; the other person was Xie Jianyuan, one of the joint spokespersons.
After the previous controversy subsided, some of the brands that Xie Jianyuan reappeared, but most of the new brands were still observing the situation, making this endorsement deal particularly significant.
Xu Chun also learned that this brand of mobile phone was produced by a subsidiary of the Gu Group.
Main attack
When Xie Jianyuan and his team went to the electronics subsidiary to sign the contract, both parties brought their own agents and lawyers.
Su Li and Xie Jianyuan's agent shook hands politely, but both turned away and their faces fell. Xu Chun noticed this and gave Xie Jianyuan a helpless smile.
Several hours later, after the contract was finalized, the two sides shook hands amicably as they came out of the conference room. During the conversation, the brand representative frankly stated that they were drawn to the commercial value of Xie Jianyuan and Xu Chun appearing together.
After saying goodbye Su Li and Xie Jianyuan's agent both called their drivers to have a car parked downstairs. Xie Jianyuan deliberately shook them off, pulled Xu Chun around a corner, and walked straight ahead.
