(ch.82)

Yu saw that there is an article claiming that she is secretly dating Bai. Yu begins to stress, then she got a call from Bai, he asked if she has seen the article and she said that she saw it. Bai said, "Yu, you know know what that means, right?"

Yu noted "What do you mean," in a confused tone.

He said, "You know that we might have to do a press conference to confirm we're not dating."

Yu added, "Doesn't that mean we'll have to reveal who we are dating."

"We might have so we can convince the public that we're not dating," he noted after he sighed.

Yu sighed and said "Ok but I'll call you later, my boss is calling me, ok bye," then she hung up. She answers, her boss begins to lecture her about the article but after a 30-minute lecture he said that they'll deal with it after they shoot the movie. After that Yu watched the drama until 12 am and then she went to sleep.

Yu woke up at 5 am from a call, "Hello," in a sleepy tone as she turns on the lamp.

A male voice said "Did I wake you up? Anyways make sure when you leaving, you have a disguise on," in a calm tone.

She looked at the caller and said "Li Bai, why did you wake me up at 5 am, it still dark outside. Couldn't you call me at 6 or 7? I know I should wear a disguise but anything else you want to tell me," in a bothered tone.

He said, "No, you should get ready since we're leaving at 8 or 9 am," in a light tone.

"I thought we're leaving at 11 am," Yu reply in a confused tone.

Bai mentions "It was but they changed it to 8 or 9 so this is another reason why I called you."

Yu mumble "Ok, it's a good thing that you woke me up," in a mistaken tone, "but anyways I have to go get ready so bye," in a calm tone. He said bye and hung up. Yu went to take a shower first, then got ready, lastly, she made sure has everything she needs for three months. By that time she was ready, it was already 7:30 so she has to rush to get to the airport.

When she was in the hotel lobby, she saw a crowd of paparazzis and reporters so she quickly put on a disguise, called a taxi. The taxi said that he'll be there in 2 minutes so she stayed in the lobby for 2 minutes when the taxi driver told her that there were too many reporters and paparazzis' cars, the only spot was two blocks away, she told him to wait there.

She has to distract them, she quickly thought of a plan so she went to one of the doors that they weren't at, and secretly went into the crowd of paparazzis and reporters. She screamed "Look it's Wan Yu," pointing at a random woman that is two buildings away and the paparazzis and reporters ran after her. She ran toward the street the taxi said to go, which is the other way the paparazzis were running, which is two blocks away. When they realize that the woman is not Wan Yu, they heard a person that screamed out "OMG, it's Wan Yu," they immediately ran after her.

As Yu was running she questioned herself why was there so many paparazzis especially when she had a suitcase, when she looked back she saw that all of the paparazzi and reporters were like 250 feet away from her. People on the streets begin to take pictures and videos of the chase. She was surprised that she could run in her suitcase and she was a few feet away from the car. When she got to the backseat with her suitcase, told the taxi driver to lock the car so he did. She put her suitcase on the space by her and put on her seatbelt as the driver drove off.

All of the paparazzis and reporters got into their cars as she got into the car and they begin to follow her. She called her boss to tell him that paparazzis and reporters are following her so what should she do about them. Mr. Yang said "Make them lose you and then when you come I'll have Li Bingwen and Wang Xiu Ying come get you, take your time, ok," in a stressed voice, Yu said ok and hung up. She told the taxi driver to make the paparazzis lose them and the driver nodded.

After 15 minutes, Yu finally lose all of them so she told the driver to take her to the airport. When she got there, many other paparazzis and reporters were already there. She scans around to look for Li Bingwen and Wang Xiu Ying, when she got a text from Wang Xiu Ying, telling her to go to the other side of the airport. When she got there, she saw Li Bingwen and Wang Xiu Ying so she got out of the car got her suitcase, looked around to see if there's any paparazzis and reporters, then she quickly walked in.

Her team was already checked in so the three were the only ones that have to check in, so they checked in and caught up with the rest of the team. While they were waiting for their flight to be called, two guys, in their mid-20s, came up to Yu and said "Hey, doesn't this person look like that overrated b*tch, Wan Yu," as the other guy laughed and agreed with him as he films him saying that to her.

Yu gave them a death glare and said "I'm so pleased you passed Grade 1 talking, what else can you say? Can you say goo goo? Aren't you clever," in a provoked tone as both guys got really scared. Yu told them to give her their phone so they did what she said, she deleted the video that they were recorded but little did she know that one of her colleagues was recording a vlog and the camera caught the whole thing.

When she got on the plane so realized that her seat is next to Wang Xiu Ying, she sighed in relief that she's not sitting by a stranger. After a few minutes that plane took off, Yu got really dizzy so she closed her eye but she fell asleep.

When Xaing woke with puffy eyes from crying all night but he has to go to work so he got ready, with the extra time he had, he rubbed ice cubes on his eyes to get rid of his puffy. After some time, he went to see if his eyes were still puffy, they were still a little bit so he went to get a pair of black shades. When he was sure he had the things he needed he left.

When he was in the practice room, Mr. Zhao came in to check on him and to shoot a dance practice video. Mr. Zhao said "Come on, Xaing, let's shoot this video," in a calm tone as he looking at the camera.

Xaing stop dancing and said "I don't think it's a good idea to shoot a video," as he sat on the ground.

Mr. Zhao walked towards him and asked him why but as he walked closer to him, he realized that Xaing's eyes were puffy. Mr. Zhao said "I think we can do it but you'll have to wear something to cover your eyes because we need this video but if you really don't what to it then we can do it tomorrow," in a caring tone.

Xaing answered "No, it's fine. I'll do it today but is there anything to cover my eyes with?"

Mr. Zhao told Xaing to wait a minute, went go get something from his office. When he came back, he had a bucket hat and a and said "Here, wear this. I bought this for you but I didn't get the chance to give it to you yet," in a calm tone as he yeet the hat at Xaing. He put the hat on as Mr. Zhao got Xaing's song on the speaker and the camera set up. "3! 2! 1! Go!," then Xaing began to dance as the sone begin to play and the camera starts to record.

When they were done shooting, Mr. Zhao asked if Xaing want to go eat somewhere and Xaing said that he just to drink some coffee so they went to the nearest cafe. When they were walking back from the cafe with their coffees, Mr. Zhao asked him why were his eyes so puffy. Xaing said "I'm not sure if I should tell you this but my girlfriend and I got into a fight right before she had to go on a business trip for 3 months. Right before she left for her trip, she told me that we should reconsider our relationship. I don't know what to think for the next 3 months," in a gloomy tone, then he took a sip of his coffee.

"Oh, what did you guys fight over," in a curious tone then he took a sip of his coffee.

Xaing said "I accused her of cheating with another guy since I saw pictures of her with a guy. I don't know what to believe cause I truly love her but I don't want to be played by another girl. Mr. Zhao, what do you think, and do you have advice?"

Mr. Zhao chuckled and said "Xaing, what makes you think I have any advice for you, I haven't dated anyone in years," as he was trying not to laugh.

Xaing was shocked, then he said "Mr. Zhao, you must be kidding right? You look so good, how can you be single plus you're only like 25," in a surprised tone.

Mr. Zhao smiled, Xaing had never seen him smile, then Mr. Zhao said "Didn't flatter me, I'm 28. I not good looking at all if I was then why doesn't any girls want to date me," in a curious tone.

Xaing answered back "This might be one of the reasons but you can't get mad," Mr. Zhao nodded so he continues "Because you always look mad. The first time I met you I thought you would be really strict and short temper, so maybe you just need to smile more and try to give a softer look," in a benevolent tone.

Mr. Zhao said, "Ok, I'll as you say but I don't know how to give a softer look." Xaing told him that he'll teach him how to do it when they weren't working or when he's free and they continue to talk about other things, then Mr. Zhao said "Omg, I just remembered I read an article about Wan Yu and Li Bai having a secret relationship, did you read it yet?" Xaing mood went from cheerful to annoy so Mr. Zhao asked what's wrong but Xaing didn't reply.

Mr. Zhao noted "It's not like she is your girlfriend so why are you so annoyed," in a grouchy tone as they enter back into the practice room.

Xaing reply "What if she is my-" in an irritated as to turn to face Mr. Zhao with tears in his eyes.

"Omg, I'm sorry that I mention that. Aww, come here," in a guilty tone as he went to hug him.

"No, it's fine. You didn't even know so I can't blame you," in a soft tone as he cried on his shoulder.

"There there, don't cry. If you ever need to talk, you can talk to me," in a sweet tone as he pats his back. After a few more seconds, Xaing was able to calm down a little bit, Mr. Zhao told that Xaing should go home and to remember to practices since his concert is in a few weeks. Xaing begins to pack up to go home, as he is packing up he saw a note that Yu wrote to him. He immediately started to cry but after some time, he got himself together, then he put his black shades on and went home.

Xaing went to lay on his bed when he got home, he didn't feel like doing anything, he just wants to lay in bed and cry. While laying down, he heard knocks, got up to open the door. Xaing saw that it was Wang Sun, Wan Li, and Min Zhe so he asked what they were doing there, they said they saw the article of Yu and the other guy and came to see if he's okay.

After Xaing explains everything, he was bawling his eyes so they comfort him. When Xaing was able to stop crying and calmed down, Sun suggests that they go to a bar to have a little fun so they forced Xaing to get ready and drag him with them. They saw a lot of girls but they did not drink too much but after a few minutes Xaing got there drunk so they all took one last drink then left. They got Xaing in bed but then he started to cry, saying that all of his friends are leaving him like Yu did so they had to calm him make him go back to sleep. By the time Xaing was asleep, they all fell asleep.

Yu woke up to Wang Xiu Ying telling her to wake ad that landed so she got off with the other passengers. When they got off the plane, they had to go find their team since they were separated. Yu called her boss, her boss said that they're on a bus with Bai's team, they hung up. As she and Wang Xiu Ying saw a bunch of paparazzis and fans, they tried to get to the bus as soon as possible but they got notice so they act like they were bothered. Since Wang Xiu Ying had a disguise on, many photos were taking since they thought he was Bai, and many fans crowded them.

When they got to onto the bus, Mr. Yang said "What took you guys so long," in an annoyed tone as he crosses his arms with an unhappy expression.

"Well there were paparazzis and a lot of fans crowding us so that's why it took us a long tie to get here," said Xiu Ying out of breath as he took off his disguise. Mr. Yang told them to sit, they went to sit at the only two seats that weren't taken, one was next to Bai and the other one has guys surrounding it, so Yu went to sit next to Bai.

When they got to the hotel, Mr. Yang said "The whole group, including Mr. Li's team, will be split up into 4 rooms. You guys may do whatever you guys want but as long as at night the girls and boys are separated, Ok rest well, tomorrow we have a lot of things to do and we'll meet up here at 5 am," in a calm tone as everyone split up, then he gave a key to each group. The groups went to their rooms, Yu ended up with the girls on her team except one of the girls in Yu's group is from Bai's team.
