Chapter 60: Chapter 60: The Beginning of the Scandal

The news of Song Chi’s arrival was like a heavy bomb, leaving everyone present both shocked and delighted.

Zhou Benyuan widened his eyes, his excitement clearly evident.

"Brother Chi is also coming?"

Lew Yuan nodded and said, "Today really is a coincidence."

Although they all work in the entertainment industry, everyone’s experience in it is different. It’s like with table tennis players, some are in provincial teams, some are selected for the national team, and others represent the country in international competitions.

Song Chi is one of those at the very top of the entertainment industry.

Some people are raised up by capital, some by fan base, and others by strong connections and extensive networks, but Song Chi lacks nothing.

Such a person is usually very hard to meet.

Even if they attend the same event, they enjoy different treatments, make appearances in different segments, and won’t be seated together; there is almost no overlap.

While everyone was looking forward to seeing Song Chi, only Zhou Yun regretted it; she really should not have agreed to come for this late-night meal.

She had never anticipated running into Song Chi.

Zhou Yun had wanted to find Song Chi and apologize to him face-to-face, but after that impulse faded, she no longer had the courage to apologize so brazenly.

The thought of seeing Song Chi later made her heart pound nervously.

What if Song Chi sees her and publicly snubs her?

Zhou Yun was really worried, after all, Song Chi was still angry.

With so many people around, if it got out, it would likely lead to another public uproar, a storm of ridicule and mockery from Song Chi’s fans.

Amidst this anxious mood, half an hour later, Song Chi arrived.

He wore a duckbill cap, casually dressed, young and handsome, like a college student.

Everyone in the private room stood up to greet him.

Lew Yuan walked over to Song Chi, gave him a hug, and warmly introduced everyone to him.

After Song Chi had politely met everyone, it was finally Zhou Yun’s turn.

Lew Yuan smiled and said, "I don’t need to introduce this one, Xiao Yun."

Zhou Yun really wanted to find a hole to bury herself in.

She bit her lip awkwardly, mustered up the courage, and forced a normal smile, "Hey!"

Song Chi’s dark pupils stared at Zhou Yun for two seconds.

Those two seconds seemed to slow down, stretching out endlessly, and Zhou Yun’s heart was in her throat.

Suddenly, Song Chi smiled as if nothing had happened between them, saying, "You’re here, too."

Zhou Yun nodded, "I just happened to come to record ’The Charm of Competition.’"

Lew Yuan said with a smile, "Alright, now that everyone’s acquainted, let’s all sit down, eat, and chat."

Zhou Yun sighed with relief, averted her gaze from Song Chi, and sat down.

"By the way, just a quick question, are we going to sing together later?" Lew Yuan said, "If we’re going to sing, I’ll call to reserve a private room."

"Go, go, go!" Zhou Benyuan was the first to raise his hand, then looked at Song Chi, "Brother Chi, are you coming? It’s been so long since I heard you sing, let’s go together!"

Zhou Benyuan looked like a true die-hard fan of Song Chi.

Song Chi nodded and said, "Sure."

When Song Chi said he would go, the others agreed too.

If they could get to know Song Chi and become friends, why not?

Zhou Yun’s voice, full of regret, sounded somewhat out of place, "Brother Lew, I’m sorry, I have work early tomorrow morning."

Lew Yuan nodded understandingly and said, "No problem, we can hang out another time."

Zhou Yun gave a grateful smile.

She already felt uncomfortable being in the same room as Song Chi, and if they went singing together, she wouldn’t have a good night.

Zhou Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, Zhou Benyuan let out a disappointed "Eh," saying, "I haven’t heard you sing yet, I thought I’d have the chance tonight."

Zhou Yun smiled and said, "There will definitely be a chance in the future."

At that moment, Song Chi’s gaze suddenly came over, he asked, "What work?"

"Uh?" Zhou Yun was taken aback.

Song Chi asked, "What work do you have tomorrow morning?"

Zhou Yun: "... An advertisement shoot."

Speaking off the cuff.

Song Chi nodded and didn’t probe further.

Zhou Yun wondered why Song Chi was asking this.

She started to feel torn again about whether she should take the opportunity to apologize to Song Chi face-to-face.

At the dinner table, Zhou Benyuan told a joke, making everyone burst into laughter.

Zhou Yun laughed along, but in reality, she wasn’t paying attention to what Zhou Benyuan was saying.

Suddenly, her phone vibrated.

She snapped back to reality and glanced at it.

It was a message from Song Chi: Is this the sincerity of your apology?

Zhou Yun looked at Song Chi in surprise.

Song Chi was holding his phone and laughing with everyone, without even glancing her way.

"..."

What did he mean?

Zhou Yun replied with a question mark.

She stared at Song Chi, wanting to see what he was really getting at.

Song Chi smiled, then looked down at his phone briefly, his facial expression still smiling but his eyes lost their mirth, paused for a moment, replied with a few words, and then flipped the phone face down on the table.

Zhou Yun checked her phone.

Song Chi: Why aren’t you going to sing? Don’t you want to see me?

Zhou Yun’s fingers hesitated.
