"Right now, we're just normal friends."
Chu Chen grasped the key point, his expression shifting slightly. "We're just ordinary friends now, but weren't we before?"
Chu Yu rubbed his forehead, utterly helpless against Chu Chen's persistent pestering. After thinking for a moment, he decided not to hide it any longer.
" Gu Jinhuai and I... we used to be together." His voice trailed off at the end.
Chu Chen frowned seriously. "What? You were together? Which time? The kind of relationship where you were dating?"
His voice grew louder and louder, and by the end, Chu Chen's eyes had widened completely.
Chu Yu nodded. "Yes, that kind."
The air in the room froze for two seconds.
Chu Chen instantly shouted angrily, " Chu Yu! You heartless bastard! You didn't even tell me about such a big thing as you being in a relationship! Am I still your brother?!"
Chu Yu jumped out of bed and immediately grabbed his throat, covering his mouth.
"Could you please keep your voice down? Do you want to wake everyone up in the middle of the night to hear your sister's gossip?"
With his mouth covered, Chu Chen struggled back and forth, gesturing a gesture of surrender to Chu Yu.
Chu Yu then released him.
However, as soon as Chu Chen regained his freedom, he nimbly ran to the hotel landline phone, "I'm going to call my parents right now and tell them you're dating! And it's Gu Jinhuai from the Gu Group!"
"Do you believe I'll kill you right now?!" Chu Yu grabbed a pillow and threw it at them.
The sounds of their playful fighting drifted through the crack in the door into the hallway outside.
The security personnel on night patrol were startled and looked up toward the door from which the sound came.
When Chu Sister Yu started chatting, it was just like a battle.
In the latter half of the night, Chu Chen couldn't stay awake any longer, so he gave up and went back to his room to sleep.
Chu Yu, however, suffered from insomnia, a rare occurrence for him.
Because she kept thinking about what Chu Chen had said in the glass room tonight.
So Gu Jinhuai... still likes her?
Chu Yu's neighbor, Gu Jinhuai, had the same experience.
He lay on the bed with his eyes open, tossing and turning. Thinking that he and Chu Yu were only separated by a wall, he couldn't help but look up at the wall behind him, his eyes filled with indescribable thoughts.
Early the next morning.
Chu Yu was woken up by the program crew.
Chu Yu, who had only slept for three hours, sat up groggily, but when she looked in the mirror, she was so startled that she stood up from in front of the dressing table.
Who is this female ghost with those two huge dark circles under her eyes?!
And so, for the first time in recent years, the usually independent and proud Chu Yu suffered from insomnia because of a man, and even had the honor of sporting two exaggerated dark circles under her eyes.
Chu Yu took out a concealer she hadn't used in a long time and began to carefully repair her dark circles.
Half an hour later, Chu Yu, who had carefully applied makeup, walked out of the hotel room.
In the past Chu Yu would usually just put on light makeup before going out. Although she looked good, it was a pure and simple kind of beauty.
But today, Chu Yu wore heavy makeup.
Her high, straight nose, slightly upturned red lips, and captivating eyes instantly drew everyone's attention.
The production crew was also amazed and stood there stunned for a long time.
Just then, Gu Jinhuai walked out of the room next door.
Upon seeing the familiar figure in the corridor, Gu Jinhuai paused slightly. Remembering the conversation that had been forced to end yesterday, he composed himself, turned around, and strode towards Chu Yu.
Upon seeing Gu Jinhuai, the staff members quickly greeted him with smiles, "Hello, President Gu. Today's live broadcast mainly focuses on the opening of the new store, so we'll have to trouble you to come along."
After completing the task of setting up a stall to start a business yesterday, each group of guests chose a type of shop as the main business they would operate in the future.
So, the real program only began after the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the grand opening today.
Chu Yu happened to glance back at Gu Jinhuai, then quickly looked away and continued walking forward calmly.
The two entered the elevator one after the other.
Unaware of what was happening, the staff followed behind, checking off all the necessary procedures for today's live-streamed store opening.
At 9:00 AM, the live stream of " Sisters and Brothers Charge Ahead " started on time.
[Ahhhhhh! I was immediately bombarded by Chu Yu's wife's beauty!]
[ President Gu looks so handsome today, still my dream man.]
Is it officially opening soon?! Looking forward to the Wen siblings' milk tea shop!
Chu Yu and Gu Jinhuai were among the first to go downstairs to the lobby to wait.
Not long after, Chu Chen arrived looking dejected, clearly having not slept well the night before.
A little while later, An Ya and An Yu came out of the elevator looking refreshed and in good spirits.
The last group to arrive were Wen Zhixin and Wen Tianqi.
The two looked much better than they had yesterday, a far cry from their disheveled state.
Wen Zhixin was also one of those who went to bed quite late last night.
Meng Fuyu learned that she had suffered heatstroke during the live broadcast of the program.
As soon as Meng Fuyu received the message, he was anxious to come see Wen Zhixin. However, Wen Zhixin regained her Wen Zhixin, saw his message, and quickly stopped Meng Fuyu from coming.
She is currently in a crucial period of career advancement, and if her relationship with Meng Fuyu is accidentally exposed, her reputation will be completely ruined.
So, in order to Meng Fuyu, Wen Zhixin made a point of talking to him on the phone for a long time that evening.
"Alright, all the guests have arrived. Today we'll continue our journey by bus to Nanluoguxiang Hutong. The shops the production team has prepared for the three pairs of siblings are over there." After explaining, the staff member began directing the guests to board the bus in order.
Gu Jinhuai and Chu Yu were ranked last.
