Chapter 1 Thousands of Heartbeats

 TRANSLATED AND EDITED BY MSI38

Chapter 1

The wind was cold in the winter, and the sky was still fluttering in the rain.

A gust of wind blew past and kissed her skin, causing ripples to appear. The temperature gradually decreased, and it was so cold that she trembled.

At the end of December, a fashion charity event arrived.

The artists had received an invitation to attend early. They wore suits and evening gowns a few times below zero, signed their autographs, and were interviewed and photographed by the media.

Yan Qiuzhi also received the invitation letter.

She was on her way to the event. She had been delayed by something today. She didn't have time to change her clothes and makeup. She was still in the car for her final touch.

Assistant Zhu Zhu spoke to her from the side and reported the latest progress of the red carpet.

"Wow, what's coming out now is Guan He!"

Zhu Zhu sat at the corner and recited in her passionate voice, 

"Today, her makeup is charming. She's wearing a naked bandage dress. Her career line is half exposed. Her body is enchanting and her chest is soft!"

Yan Qiuzhi was amused by her and could not help but blink.

The makeup artist laughed and reprimanded her, 

"Don't move" 

She asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhu Zhu giggled. 

"She definitely doesn't want to. Guan He has already exposed her career line. We, Sister Yan, can't lose!"

Hearing this, Yan Qiuzhi didn't even have the time to stare at her and asked in surprise, "What do you mean, I can't lose?"

Zhu Zhu kindly explained," Isn't that your day-to-day pk? There's also a vote online today. Many people even said that you might not be attending tonight's event."

"Why?"

Zhu Zhu replied, 

"Because our studio didn't publish the red carpet photos."

Before an artist walked on the red carpet,99% of the studios would release photos in advance for fans and passersby to enjoy.

There were many artists who could even get on the search because of a group of photos. Most people wouldn't let go of such a famous opportunity.

And Yan Qiuzhi? How could the fruit of the testis be eaten?

The two of them followed a similar route in the entertainment industry. In addition, there had been a lot of competition in the past year, so it was inevitable that they would be compared.

Although the client didn't have this idea.

As they were chatting, Yan Qiuzhi's phone rang.

"It's Sister Meng's call."

"Take it."

Yan Qiuzhi's face was fixed by the makeup artist so she could not move.

Zhu Zhu answered and shouted," Sister Meng."

Sister Meng was Yan Qiuzhi's manager.

Li Meng's voice could be heard.

"Where's Qiuzhi?"

"She is putting on makeup."

Li Meng was still in the office. She lowered her head and looked at the time on her watch. She then looked at the red carpet that was being broadcasted and said in a deep voice, 

"Can you catch up?"

"Yes"

Yan Qiuzhi's voice was very soft.

Li Meng nodded and whispered, 

"I just received a message to remind you."

"What?"

" ...The endorsement we've been fighting for has been taken away by Guan He."

Li Meng paused and said in a low voice, 

Yan Qiuzhi was startled and immediately thought of what Li Meng was talking about, her eyelashes trembled and she did not say anything.

Li Meng continued, 

"Don't be too disappointed. It's just an endorsement. We still have a lot to do later."

Yan Qiuzhi laughed lightly and curled her lips.

"Got it."

Li Meng listened to her tone and didn't feel at ease.

" If she deliberately irritates you later, just suppress your temper."

Hearing this, Yan Qiuzhi found it a little funny. She probably didn't have the time to argue with her.

"Yeah"

But she was still kind enough to agree.

After hanging up, Zhu Zhu looked at Yan Qiuzhi for a while and whispered, 

" Sister Yan, don't be discouraged."

Yan Qiuzhi was about to speak when the makeup artist stopped her.

"Don't speak. It's the last step."

Yan Qiuzhi: "……"

After putting on her makeup, Yan Qiuzhi changed her dress with the help of her assistant.

Just as she had changed, the makeup artist only had time to touch up her make up and get her hair done before the car stopped.

At this moment, the fan media were squatting on both sides, looking forward to the appearance of their idol.

In order to support their idol, they were in a cold state.

When they saw a black nanny car stop, everyone looked forward to it.

The first to be exposed in front of the public was a pair of white and dazzling eyes? This was not the case.

The fans cried out in alarm. When they saw the familiar face, they kept screaming.

Not far away, the sound of the media cameras cracking was even more uninterrupted.

Yan Qiuzhi was like a goblin who walked out of the night. Every move was leading everyone's eyes, making them unable to move their eyes when they saw her.

"Was Yan Qiuzhi!!!"

"F*ck, Yan Qiuzhi has come to steal his soul again!!"

"Ah, Yan Qiuzhi, kill me."

Yan Qiuzhi smiled at the camera and walked towards the red carpet.

At this moment, another car slowly drove over and stopped at the entrance of the red carpet.

Yan Qiuzhi looked at it and walked straight to the exhibition board.

However, just as Yan Qiuzhi was near the exhibition board and took the autograph pen from the host's hand, there was a furious voice behind him.

She subconsciously turned around and looked over.

At this turn, his gaze could not be withdrawn immediately.

In the quiet night, the man was wearing a straight black suit on the other end of the red carpet. His figure was tall, and his temperament was noble. His facial features were handsome, and his eyes were deep and as if he was standing alone in the world.

The surrounding noise seemed to have nothing to do with him.

However, it was only because of him.

As if her heart was in sync, the man who walked towards her slowly lifted his eyelids and looked at her. His eyes were light, but it was easy to give him one? This is not the case when you are a child.

After Yan Qiuzhi entered the room, she recalled that glance. She felt that it was filled with the coldness of winter so that no one dared to approach her.

On the stage, the male star and female star walked through the red carpet and found a seat with their own name.

There were some familiar friends nearby, and they could even talk a little bit.

As soon as Yan Qiuzhi found her seat and sat down, the voices of artists were heard from both sides.

"We're not mistaken, right? Chen Lunan is back."

"Yeah!"

"Ah, did you just come back today? Why are you hiding it so tightly? No one is going to snatch it from the hot search tonight. It's not Chen Lunan."

"That's certain."

The two of them chatted behind Yan Qiuzhi. They didn't forget to bring her along.

"Qiuzhi, you saw it just now."

Yan Qiuzhi snapped back to his senses and turned to look at the two of them with a proper smile.

" Yes."

The two of them said excitedly," God knows, my biggest dream in the entertainment industry is to see him."

"Me too."

Chen Lunan was a top-level legend in the entertainment industry.

From his debut until now, all the works that he had taken had gone viral. He was low-key and modest. Apart from the necessary publicity for his works, he rarely showed his face in front of the public.

But even so, he was still a very popular male artist. As long as there were events to attend, the rest of them would belong to the type who stood by the side.

Just this person suddenly announced that he was going to study abroad more than a year ago.

On this trip, there was no news until tonight.

Yan Qiuzhi guessed that there were at least three popular online searches about Chen Lunan.

As soon as he comes back, the top spot in the entertainment industry this year has to be changed.

Just as she was lost in thought, someone sat down beside him.

" Why are you so stunned?"

Yan Qiuzhi snapped back to her senses and looked at Shen Muqing.

Her friends in the circle.

Yan Qiuzhi looked at her and said slowly, 

" I'm thinking about how someone stole my glory tonight."

Shen Muqing:"……"

She was speechless for a while and stared at her.

"That's it?"

Yan Qiuzhi replied calmly.

"That's right."

Shen Muqing was choked with emotion. She lifted her eyes to look at the man who had finally sat down in the middle of the front row. From the perspective of the two of them, she could see the man's superior profile.

She stared at him and whispered in Yan Qiuzhi's ear, 

"I haven't seen you for more than a year and also your husband is still very handsome."

Hearing the words, Yan Qiuzhi glanced at the other side coldly and sneered.

That was true.

Her husband had always been handsome, so handsome that he could attract bees and butterflies.

Seeing that she inexplicably shivered.

She glanced at Yan Qiuzhi and then at Chen Lunan. She carefully asked, 

"…Didn't you know that your husband has returned to China?"

Yan Qiuzhi gave her a look of approval.

Shen Muqing looked at her in disbelief. She then looked at Chen Lunan and cursed, 

"F*ck!"Then your husband is too inhumane!"

Yan Qiuzhi nodded in agreement.

"You're right."

achoo!!

After being cursed, Chen Lunan sneezed.

The senior who was communicating with him was shocked and looked at him nervously.

"Xiao Lu, are you having a cold?"

Chen Lunan shook his head.

" No."

His voice was low as if it was a clear spring. It made people like him.

Senior smiled and warned, 

"You might not be adapted to the domestic weather just after returning to China. It is cold. Remember to wear more"

Chen Lunan nodded in agreement.

He didn't say much. Senior chatted with him and didn't' t care about his attitude. They were all people who knew their nature. They would not have any objections to Chen Lunan because of this.

Chen Lunan did indeed just arrive, and not long after he got off the plane, he was notified by someone who had received the news to come here.

The original person was not him, but that person had something to do, and Chen Lunan owed him a favour and had to make up for it.

He looked up at the host on the stage, his expression was calm and indifferent.

The phone was constantly vibrating. Chen Lunan was annoyed and turned it silent.

Just as he finished, a stranger's voice came from behind.

"Yan Qiuzhi's dress is so beautiful tonight."

"That's right. She's also on the trending list. She's right behind Chen Lunan."

"To be honest, if it weren't for Chen Lunan's airdrop today, Yan Qiuzhi would have been the one who'd been searched."

"Yan Qiuzhi's figure is gone!"

"What do you think? She's currently the head of the female star that everyone wants to" sleep the most. She's just a bit away from the head of the male star, Chen Lunan."

"Didn't you say that someone is chasing after Yan Qiuzhi recently? I wonder if he can catch up."

The two lowered their heads and chatted about gossip, but they didn't notice that the voice had reached Chen Lunan's side.

It wasn't until the sound grew louder and louder that the people next to them looked at Chen Lunan not too far away before they coughed lightly to remind them. The voices of the two gradually faded away.

Chen Lunan narrowed his eyes and suddenly thought of the photo he saw when he got off the plane.

A beautiful woman in a red dress, her muscles were jade snow, her eyes were bright and her teeth were white.

As he thought about it, he lightly laughed.

          *******************************

From the beginning to the end, Yan Qiuzhi was a little distracted. Her expression was indifferent, as cold as before. People who were not familiar with her felt that it was normal and familiar...However, she also heard that Guan He had taken away the endorsement that Yan Qiuzhi had been fighting for so they knew that she would definitely be in a bad mood.

At the end of the event, everyone could almost leave.

Shen Muqing stared at the person who had not changed his posture all night and shouted, 

" Go to the bathroom"

"I can't go."

Shen Muqing probably understood what she was feeling and asked in a low voice, 

" Then go back?"

"Yes."

Yan Qiuzhi stood up. Before she could leave, she saw someone sitting on the other side walking towards the crowd's attention.

Yan Qiuzhi even noticed sharply that Guan He deliberately pulled off her clothes, revealing her career line.

In an instant, she changed her mind.

"I won't go back for now."

"Ah?"

Shen Muqing followed her gaze and couldn't help but laugh when she saw Guan He's actions.

"Does she not know that Chen Lunan is very clean and self-sufficient?"

Yan Qiuzhi's lips curled up into a smile as if she was watching the show.

"Who knows? I haven't seen him for more than a year. Chen Lunan might be hungry and has no choice but to eat meat?"

"If that's the case than she is so generous!"
