Episode 4: Round Four, Stage Two, Part 4

Alot of students began talking to Gong Xi ever since that morning. The constant questions about the relationship between her and top actor Dun He Lian. She tried dodging them, finding it quite annoying. But in the bright side, Mei Shen stopped bothering her... for now.

"Shang, why can't we do anything today?" Mei Shen pouted on the phone after school.

"I'm very busy and I don't want any distractions," Shang said, covering his annoyance in his voice.

"I guess you're right," Mei Shen sighed. Shang rolled his eyes at the other end of the phone, not surprised that she actually believed him. "Good luck, Shang." He hung up. Her anger returned as she saw the same black car driving into the parking lot. Gong Xi popped out of nowhere, searching the parking lot for other students that might swarm her again.

Dun He Lian smiled as Gong Xi climbed into the car with a relief sigh. "Rough day?" Lian asked her.

"I don't like too much attention. It's like constantly drowning everytime there's a tidal wave of people, hitting me with questions," Gong Xi said.

"Get used to it. The more famous you are, the more waves will come at you," Lian said. "But don't worry," he added when he saw the alarmed expression on Gong Xi's face. "Soon, you'll rise above those waves so you'll be able to breathe again." Gong Xi now stared at him with awe.

"Mei Shen?" Mai Lin asked as Shang hung up with a frustrated sigh. Shang leaned his head against the back of the couch, staring at the ceiling. He nodded, still not saying anything. Mai Lin rolled her eyes, waving a strawberry pudding above his face. His hand shot up and grabbed it.

"What made you get this? Did Gong Xi told you?" Shang sat on the floor, leaning over the table, lining up the pudding onto a plate.

"She didn't tell me anything about you're love of strawberry pudding," Mai Lin said. "Strawberry and chocolate are my favorite flavors. I always get strawberry pudding."

Shang paused, then looked at her. "This," he pointed to the pudding, "Is a secret, got it?"

Mai Lin nodded. "Of course. I could buy it anytime I want. This temporary manager business will be stress free if you try your best. It's a win-win."

Shang grinned, turning back to his precious strawberry pudding. Everything was perfect. He has strawberries, his pudding, the food Mai Lin brought wasn't too sweet, she always covered her face and slip away from the public view without being noticed, she doesn't whine or complain, she isn't too strict, she isn't easy either. Shang sighed in content as he chewed. And Yang thought this would be difficult for both of us. She has no faith, Shang thought.

Shang looked over Mai Lin, who was sitting on the couch, going through her camera. It was a habit for her to tuck a strand of loose hair behind her ear. She was somewhat short but not too short where he has to bend so much to be eye leveled with her. She was just a good head shorter than him. She dresses plain, yet her character was unique. There was no dull moment with her like how it was with Yang and Mei Shen. He stared at her face. No trace of make up on. Either that or she's good at putting make up on.

"Hey," he said. Mai Lin didn't look up from her camera. Shang frowned. "Hey!" He grabbed her foot a tickled it. She exploded into a fit of laughter, kicking her foot away from his grasp, almost hitting his face. Shang took this chance to grab the camera from her.

It was her turn to shout, "Hey!"

Shang smirked, focusing the camera to her smiling face. He snapped a picture. Mai Lin reached out but Shang pulled it away. He grabbed his phone and snapped another picture. He laughed as Mai Lin fell off the couch, a surprise look on her face. Mai Lin sat up, sitting next to him on the floor, taking back the camera.

"What did you want?" She checked to see if the camera was fine.

Shang posed. "Take a picture of me," Shang said. Mai Lin rolled her eyes. "Come on, please."

She gave in, snapping a few pictures as he changed poses. She laughed, saying that it was enough pictures for now. She showed him the pictures he took, all 12 of them. She lost count and accidentally showed him the picture that he took of her. Shang stopped her from pulling away.

"Why were you crying this morning?" Shang asked.

Mai Lin looked down. "It's nothing... just a call I got. Just nothing." Shang looked at her, unconvinced.

"So...," Mr. Du began to say as he sat in the car with Lian. "You went to Gong Xi's school, huh?" He smirked.

"How did you know," Lian asked, masking his surprise with a straight face.

"There's picture in the internet of you and Gong Xi," Mr. Du said with a smile. "Sooner than you think, those pictures will be in magazines: Top actor Dun He Lian escorting girlfriend Gong Xi to school. The new couple in the entertainment industry. Then talk shows will be requesting for you and Gong Xi to talk about your relationship."

"Why are you so happy? My schedule is busy enough as it is?"

"But you found time to drive Gong Xi to and from school," Mr. Du teased.

Lian sighed. "You're not letting this go, huh?" Mr. Du shook his head.

Mr. Du studied Lian's face. "You seem stressed lately. Does this have to do with Chairman Luo Li? I heard he had a talk with you."

"Everything's fine," Lian said with a fake smile.

"Lian, judging by your tensed posture, you know why I called you here," Luo Li said, crossing his legs on his luxurious chair. Lian said nothing. "You must try to accept what you've done in the past and move on. You think you don't deserve happiness. You use work to distract yourself from who you truly are." Luo Li shook his head in disappointment.

Lian's jaw tightened. "Excuse me? Why are you telling me this?"

Luo Li sighed. "What I'm saying is... You'll encounter Jai Li sooner or later but please respect my decisions. You've grown ever since that day I came to you and offered you a spot in the entertainment business. You've grown out of your father's shadow. Now... Are you ready to face him?"

Chairman, what exactly are you planning, Lian thought, gripping the steering wheel.

"Hello, Director Shen? Yes, I'm not doing anything now," Gong Xi said. She sat at a table with Qin and Shu Fang eating ice cream with Maria to celebrate the finishing of the movie. "What? A mission? I thought you said there wasn't any jobs to do for now? I thought we were having a break."

"No, this job is for you," Director Shen said.

"What? Why?" Gong Xi pouted. "Jai Li? Jai Li... Jai Li... I heard that name before. Ah, the actor that acted as Jai Yue in the original Ahn Yue. What about him?"

"I want you to assist him."

AN: So for the short chappies but like I said, I have writer's block. I'm finding a way to keep the story flowing.
