Chapter 187: 187 Closer than close
Still got your first kiss?
Hearing this, Jiang Chen instinctively felt the other person was pulling his leg.
I treat you as a comrade, but you treat me as someone from the imperial army?
If Luo Li’er herself said her first kiss was still intact, he’d definitely believe it—even though the girl was so lovely that everyone adored her—the way Pei Yunxi protected her wouldn’t allow any boy to cross the line.
But Pei Yunxi?
She was a superstar, so popular that she had fans all over the south and north of the river, even internationally. Leaving aside her personal life, just consider acting.
Isn’t hugging and cuddling, cooing and wooing all part of the norm when filming?
As an actress, it’s the least of professional ethics.
Going back twenty or thirty years, it wasn’t uncommon for actresses to bravely dedicate themselves to the art.
Even if Pei Yunxi was indeed a breath of fresh air in the entertainment industry, without any scandals or controversy, it’s impossible that she has never filmed a basic kissing scene in all these years, right?
Of course.
Given Pei Yunxi’s status today, indeed, she has the power to choose her scripts, but she didn’t have the same honor and popularity when she started out.
"Senior Jiang, you don’t believe me?"
Luo Li’er’s gaze wandered past the drawing board, seemingly aware that her statement was too far-fetched, and she quickly explained, "I’m telling the truth. When my sister films intimate scenes, they use stand-ins or shoot from angles to avoid actual contact. That’s why many people accuse her of being a diva."
"So, she hasn’t had a boyfriend up until now?"
"No."
Luo Li’er shook her head, "At least I haven’t seen any. Of course, there are many men chasing after her. I asked my sister, with so many outstanding people around her, could she really not fancy any of them? She didn’t answer me, maybe she’s just too focused on her career."
As incredulous as it seemed, Luo Li’er likely had no reason to lie to him.
For a woman like Pei Yunxi, with high standards, that was completely understandable.
Whether it was Pei Yunxi keeping her private life too secret, even from her cousin, or not, the information Luo Li’er divulged should be good news for him.
Jiang Chen kept his composure while feeling somewhat relieved on the inside.
It seems the situation wasn’t as bad as he had imagined.
At least Pei Yunxi appeared to be single, which was probably true.
"What about the man who came to the bar to pick you up last time? Is he Miss Pei’s bodyguard?"
"Not exactly, Brother Xiang Dong should be considered more of a friend to my sister, although he does occasionally take care of her security."
Luo Li’er answered without any guard up, responding readily to every question.
Jiang Chen certainly wouldn’t let go of this rare opportunity. During this precious time, he tried to fish for information in a way that wouldn’t make Luo Li’er suspicious, beating around the bush, all while perfectly behaving like an ordinary person who’s just curious about the life of a celebrity.
"Actually, my sister never thought about becoming a celebrity at first. My uncle works in the Education Bureau and is quite traditional in his thinking. He was firmly against my sister becoming an actress, but for some reason, he consented later on. That’s why my sister is so careful; otherwise, my uncle would scold her mercilessly. Did you think she seemed cold when you met her last time? Actually, at home, she’s a good girl, even more obedient than I am."
Luo Li’er whispered.
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but feel amused, involuntarily imagining the scene of Pei Yunxi, a famous star, being scolded by her elders at home and it was a bizarre thought.
Luo Li’er didn’t realize that she had completely betrayed her cousin. Given her cousin’s status, it was hard for Li’er to find someone to chat with freely, so she spoke whatever came to her mind. Of course, she didn’t forget her main task at hand.
"Senior Jiang, don’t make such expressive faces; I haven’t finished drawing you yet."
"Sorry."
Jiang Chen cleared his throat softly and quickly adjusted his expression.
Luo Li’er continued her sketching.
On the canvas, the contour of a character’s portrait gradually took shape.
"Luo junior sister, with your great conditions, plus the deep resources of Miss Pei, haven’t you ever considered going into the entertainment industry? If both sisters became big stars, it might turn into quite the story."
Jiang Chen decided to quit while he was ahead, always asking Yun Xi could easily seem unscrupulous.
Without any exaggeration, among the young generation of actresses, not considering acting skills or anything, just in terms of appearance, Jiang Chen really didn’t think anyone could compare to this girl.
As long as she was willing, plus the support of a popular star sister, her rise to fame would be a sure thing.
Isn’t it seen how many talentless celebrity second-generation stars are thriving in the entertainment industry?
"I wouldn’t, being a star isn’t that great. You don’t even have basic freedom, you’re always being watched everywhere you go, it’s difficult to even step outside, and my sister also doesn’t allow me to enter the entertainment industry."
Jiang Chen fell silent.
So many girls are desperate to get into that vanity fair, yet this girl avoided it at all costs.
That’s the difference between people for you.
"Jiang senior brother, you actually look pretty good."
While sketching, Luo Li’er suddenly blurted out; she hadn’t seriously looked at this famously renowned senior before, but as she sketched today, she couldn’t avoid observing him closely and gradually discovered that his facial features were quite appealing, his brows moderate and his eyes bright and clear. Despite often saying shameless things, it didn’t make people dislike him too much, especially his skin, which was cleaner than many girls’.
How to put it, it absolutely couldn’t make one’s heart race, but the more you looked, the more comfortable it felt.
"Luo junior sister, you have good taste."
Jiang Chen didn’t disappoint, quickly embracing the praise and even boasted smoothly without hesitation.
Knowing him not just for a day, Luo Li’er was somewhat familiar with his thick skin. Her delicate rosy lips curved, and without interrupting her drawing as if engrossed in the sketch, she said, "Jiang senior brother, you could actually give it a try, didn’t you say my sister invited you? I think you’re much better looking than those current young idols. The dramas they act in are just crap, I really don’t know why so many girls like to watch them."
Jiang Chen didn’t find it offensive; on the contrary, hearing words like "crap" from the mouth of this girl with a manga face had a unique charm.
Psychologically speaking, her frankness, no longer pretending to be a lady, indicated that their relationship had grown closer.
"I’ve heard there are a lot of unwritten rules in the entertainment industry, I fear someone as outstanding as me might find it difficult to escape those evil claws..."
Jiang Chen sighed.
"Pfft..."
Luo Li’er couldn’t help but laugh, and the lines under her brush went awry.
She gave the frivolous young man a feisty glare and picked up the eraser to correct the mistakes.
"Don’t worry, with my sister looking out for you, it won’t happen."
"But what if your sister takes a fancy to me?"
Luo Li’er was taken aback, although she knew he was joking, she still had to admire his thick skin.
He really dared to say it.
But she wasn’t angry. Instead, she responded carelessly.
"That would be good too, then we would really be related by marriage."
This time, it was Jiang Chen who was caught between laughter and tears.
