Superstar's Development Diary-Chapter 784 - 785: A Familiar Taste

Qiu Zhenze ding-dong went online and immediately followed the trend, posting: "Support Ren Xiao, Erha really needs to be disciplined [smile]"]

He Jinxia watched as Yu Yanyu was surrounded and teased by everyone, her lips curling slightly, feeling quite cheerful.

Yu Yanyu’s nickname Erha was indeed fitting; he truly was the source of joy for everyone that day.

At that moment, Sheng Yan, who had always been mysteriously absent online, suddenly posted—

["Who’s Erha?"]

This message was like dropping an atomic bomb, blasting everyone to shock, and it took a good while for them to recover.

After a long time, which wasn’t actually that long, just 5 minutes, Yu Yanyu pitifully posted like a little daughter-in-law, "Erha is me [blown-away crying.jpg]".

Sheng Yan responded immediately—

["Quite fitting [smile]"].

Yu Yanyu felt as if he’d been stabbed.

The most hurtful words in this world are often the blatant truth.

Among the collective laughter of "hahahahaha" from the group, He Jinxia also blended in, posting her own "hahahahaha".

Sheng Yan caught that and immediately prodded her in a private chat: ["Not filming?"]

He Jinxia: ["Just finished the first scene of the morning and am resting now."]

Sheng Yan: ["When can you have a holiday?"]

He Jinxia narrowed her eyes and asked keenly, "What are you up to?"]

It was obvious that Sheng Yan had something he was hiding from her and wouldn’t say, simply replying, "I miss you."]

He Jinxia: ["Don’t dodge my question [contempt]"]

Sheng Yan: ["I miss you."]

He Jinxia: ["What strange thing are you planning to surprise me with again?"]

Sheng Yan: ["I miss you."]

Left speechless and extremely frustrated, He Jinxia posted—

["Boss, you win _( |3」∠ )_"]

Sheng Yan: ["So, when’s your holiday?"]

He Jinxia: ["The crew is rushing the schedule; I don’t think we’ll get any holidays..."]

It took a while before Sheng Yan sent another message—

["Christmas is coming up in L country, Director Qian will probably give a few days off, and they won’t rent the set during that time."]

He Jinxia: ["So what are you suggesting?"]

Sheng Yan sent over a voice message directly—

"Madam, come back early."

He Jinxia’s face flushed, and she responded quietly with an "Mhm".

She felt as if her entire body was soaking in warm water, cozy and comfortable, wanting to say something to Sheng Yan but also feeling no need to say anything, just enjoying this state.

Caught in a tangle of emotions, the assistant director came to her rescue.

"He Jinxia, come for filming!"

He Jinxia responded and hastily sent Sheng Yan a message before rushing off without seeing that Yu Yanyu had been trying to get her attention in the group chat.

The corners of Sheng Yan’s mouth lifted as he exited WeChat and instead made a phone call to Kevin.

It took Kevin a while to answer the call, immediately cursing, "Shit."

"Give me one reason why you’re calling me in the middle of the night," he said irritably.

Sheng Yan spoke slowly and deliberately, "I poached a few Hanfu designers for you from Fan•hua; how are things working out with them, have you coordinated the latest batch of winter Hanfu designs yet?"

At the mention of this, Kevin perked up a bit from his bed, saying, "Those kids are too young, some of their designs are naive and need revision. But they’ve got creativity, and I’m thinking of restructuring their brains to come work for me and design Western clothes."

Sheng Yan: ["Let’s stay on topic."]

Kevin: ["We’ve decided on a preliminary draft, still need a few alterations, should be finished in a few days. Why, do you need these clothes urgently?"]

Sheng Yan faintly "hmm" a sound and asked, "How long will it take for the clothes to go from design to production?"

Kevin thought for a moment, "Quite fast, I can produce over a hundred sets for you in 10 to 15 days."

At this time, Kevin belatedly snapped back to reality and asked with confusion, "Hold on, I remember you asked me to design women’s Hanfu; even if you get them, you can’t wear them. What do you want them for?"

Sheng Yan didn’t want to answer that question.

Knowing this would be the response, Kevin didn’t wait for an answer and played his trump card, "If you don’t tell me, I won’t give you the final design."

It must be said, he had hit a nerve.

Sheng Yan chuckled lightly, saying leisurely, "Haven’t you always wanted to know who my fiancee is?"

Kevin perked up his ears, waiting for more.

But Sheng Yan started playing coy at this point, stopping right there.

Kevin cursed him inwardly again, having no choice but to follow his lead. He asked with frustration, "Who is it then?"

Sheng Yan replied, "I plan to give her a present for Christmas. The gift is a set of Hanfu produced by our company. She really likes wearing Hanfu."

Kevin, "So?"

Sheng Yan, "You’ll find out on Christmas Day."

Damn it, talk about being noncommittal!

However, Kevin was still willingly caught in the trap, having no choice really; he was too curious to see the woman who had captivated Sheng Yan.

Especially since that person was so biting, arrogant, conceited... but you somehow find him flawless.

After finishing his conversation with Kevin, Sheng Yan went back to his WeChat and saw that the "Eternal Happiness Everyday" group chat had those red unread indicators that added a new number every few seconds, quickly jumping from 40+ to over 60+. Sheng Yan raised an eyebrow and clicked to take a look.

Inside the group, Yu Yanyu was mentioning He Jinxia, asking if she had finished filming and how she had time to chat.

Yu Yanyu: "The show wrapped up yesterday; I even asked the person in charge why you didn’t come. They said they invited you, but you had no slots in your schedule."

Yu Yanyu: "Is your side about to wrap up too?"

Yu Yanyu: "Sis, why aren’t you speaking? @He Jinxia"

...

Sheng Yan’s eyes darkened as he let out a snort.

Sis?

Are you that close to her?

Humph.

He typed out a message: "She went off to shoot a film."

Yu Yanyu’s flurry of messages came to an abrupt halt.

Hmm?

Why does this scene feel so familiar?

It’s as if I’ve experienced something like it before.

He carefully thought back, fuzzy fragments flashed in his mind, but he could never grasp that fleeting idea.

Just then, Qin Siqin suddenly sent a private message—

Qin Siqin: "Are Sheng Yan and Jinxia very close? How does he know that she is out filming?"

The light bulb went off in Yu Yanyu’s head, and he finally remembered; this was what He Jinxia had told him before!

Last time during their first group video call for "Eternal Happiness Everyday," he had persistently asked if Sheng Yan was there, and He Jinxia’s reply was—He’s out shooting a film.

The same familiar group, the familiar words, the familiar atmosphere, making the usual recipe.

Yu Yanyu’s heart pounded rapidly, feeling like he had caught onto something, but still, he wasn’t quite certain in the depths of his heart.

His phone vibrated insistently. Qin Siqin had sent him another message at this time.

Qin Siqin: "I might have misunderstood [sweat], Jinxia is actually out filming right now. If she doesn’t speak, anyone would normally think she’s off filming, right?"

Yu Yanyu’s heart raced, his hand gripping the phone tight, eager to share his gossip conclusion with her!

But as his fingers touched the virtual keyboard, intending to type out some words, he hesitated.
