Khaleel was very efficient. The next day, when Gu Moning returned to the hotel to wash up, he called her.

"Hello." As soon as the phone was connected, before he could speak, Gu Moning asked, "Is there any news?"

She put on speaker and put it on the sink. As she asked, she removed her makeup.

"Smart." Khaleel said. "Guess who did it?"

Gu Moning poured the makeup remover on her eyelids.

Holding the stage with her palm, she leaned forward and casually replied in front of the mirror, "It should be an ordinary paparazzo."

Khaleel was a little surprised. "How did you know."

"I guessed it."

It was indeed a guess.

But that was not entirely true. She thought about it for a while.

First of all, she thought about whether it would be Li Mao taking revenge and then looking for someone. But on second thought, people like Li Mao should not be so simple and clean.

In addition, Li Mao was still squatting in the police station. He couldn't even protect himself, so he didn't have time to care about her.

So she ruled out his possibility.

Secondly, she was usually so kind and didn't fight for anything, and she didn't offend anyone in the circle.

Therefore, it was impossible anyone in the entertainment circle.

Then it could only be the paparazzi.

Khaleel let out a long sigh.

[What if the actress is too smart?]

Gu Moning was speechless.

"What are you sighing about?" Holding a handful of clear water, Gu Moning simply washed off the makeup remover on her face and squeezed out some facial cream to rub the bubbles in her palm.

Khaleel skipped her question directly. "Do you know how the response was to your clarification post yesterday?"

Gu Moning shook her head and asked, "How is it?"

"There are still a lot of people scolding you on the Internet."

She thought so too.

He continued, "But it's much better than when the news first came out. I also bought some paid Internet trolls to help you control the comments."

Gu Moning nodded and said, "Okay, let's just wait for the official announcement."

Khaleel, "You are Buddha-like. You are really broad-minded."

Gu Moning didn't say anything.

She was actually not a Buddha.

She just understood.

When she first debuted, she also cared about it. When she saw those comments that scolded her, she felt uncomfortable and couldn't fall asleep at night.

But after that incident, she didn't care so much about these things on the Internet.

Khaleel added, "I'm really curious. Is there anything you care about now."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone swiped his card at the door. The sound of the door opening and closing interrupted Gu Moning.

Gu Moning had a stomachache in the afternoon, so she didn't eat much. When she came back in the evening, she was hungry, so she asked Liu Qianqian to buy her night snack.

At this time, Liu Qianqian might have brought her something to eat.

Khaleel also heard the noise coming from her side and asked, "Did you ask Qianqian to buy night snack for you again?"

Gu Moning, who had just wiped bubbles on her face, was stunned.

How did he know.

On second thought, she instantly knew who had betrayed her. "Qianqian told you?"

"I guessed it." Khaleel told her exactly what she had just said.

Good heavens.

Khaleel said, "Eat less tonight. Remember, you're a female star. You'll be filming in a few days, and then you'll be swollen on camera."

Gu Moning had the kind of constitution that could easily cause water retention. She usually didn't even dare to drink much water after eight o'clock in the evening.

She still remembered that there was a time when she was thirsty in the middle of the night when she was filming. She got up and drank two glasses of water. The next morning, her eyelids were swollen into single eyelids. The swelling did not subside even after drinking Caffè Americano, and it did not subside until the afternoon.

From then on, Khaleel Liu Qianqian countless times not let Gu Moning drink water or have supper after 8 p.m.

"Got it, got it." Her ears were almost calluses when she heard that.

She said a few perfunctory words to him and hung up the phone.

Then she took a comfortable shower, dried her hair, and walked out.

As soon as she came out of the bathroom, she saw a man leaning against the sofa and flipping through her script with his legs crossed.

Gu Moning was stunned.

How did this man get in?

She looked at the closed door behind her and looked at him. Then, she asked the question in her heart, "How did you get in?"

Lu Yi looked up at her. She was standing at the bathroom door in a champagne-colored slip dress. Her white neck and delicate collarbone were exposed to the air. Her long black hair was wet and scattered on her shoulders. Her little face was red because of the steam. A drop of water slid down her collarbone and finally fell into an invisible place.

Lu Yi looked down along her face. His Adam's apple bobbed up and down.

Feeling his burning gaze, Gu Moning blushed instantly and subconsciously reached out to cover her chest.

Lu Yi looked at her hair, which was still dripping with water. He frowned and threw the script on the coffee table. He reached out to pat the sofa and motioned for her to sit down.

Perhaps because she was a little short of oxygen after taking a shower, Gu Moning couldn't control her brain and subconsciously walked toward him.

She sat down beside him obediently. Lu Yi took the towel in her hand and carefully wiped her hair.

His movements were careful and gentle, as if he was treating a treasure.

Gu Moning didn't move at all and let him wipe her hair.

She lowered her eyes and looked at her toes.

For some reason, her mood became a little complicated.

It was a strange feeling, but she couldn't tell what exactly it was.

She was not happy, excited, or excited.

On the contrary, she was a little angry.

Lu Yi asked, "What are you thinking about?"

She turned her head and met his smiling eyes.

She pursed her lips and said nothing.

Lu Yi clasped her chin with his fingers, raised her face, and asked in a low and hoarse voice, "Why aren't you talking?"

At this moment, a word suddenly popped up in Gu Moning's mind.

Scum.

She frowned unhappily, shook off her hand, stood up, took the towel from his hand, grabbed his wrist, and strode to the door. She opened the door and pushed him out. "Take care."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Yi heard a bang before he could react.

The door was closed.

Lu Yi was stunned.

What's going on?

Did he say anything wrong?

It seemed that he hadn't said anything yet?

Then what was she angry about?

Did he make her hurt?

When Liu Qianqian walked out of the elevator with the takeout, she saw Lu Yi standing in front of Gu Moning's room with a gloomy face and a low aura.

Liu Qianqian couldn't help shivering. She swallowed and called out to him in a trembling voice, "Mr... Mr. Lu."

There was no response.

Liu Qianqian called him timidly again, "Mr. Lu."

Lu Yi glanced at her and replied with a "hmm". He stared at the takeout in her hand for two seconds, then turned around and walked to his room.

Liu Qianqian stood on the spot and stared at his back and then she looked at the door.

Did the two of them quarrel?

["Forget it. I'd better not meddle in other people's business."]

…

—

Lu Yi couldn't figure out what he had done to offend Gu Moning when he was driven out of the room.

He took out his mobile phone and opened Baidu. He typed in the code, "If a girl suddenly gets angry, what's the reason?"

There were also a variety of replies below.

[She's in her period and is in a bad mood. Ask her to drink more hot water.]

Lu Yi was speechless.

"Period?" "Irritability?"

It was not impossible.

There were more below.

[She doesn't like you anymore. She likes the new and loathes the old.]

[My mother is always losing her temper when she is experiencing menopause.]

[She just doesn't like you. Just go away.]

[If a girl is suddenly unhappy, it's because she was provoked by something, and then she is angry, very angry.]

[In my opinion, men are bitches. The more the girl dislikes you, the more you want to get close to her.]

“…”

["What the hell is going on?"]

Except for the first one that looked relatively reliable, none of the others were reliable.

Lu Yi clicked on WeChat App. Just as he was about to send a message to Gu Moning, he received a call from Qian Mu.

"What's the matter?"

He sounded a little annoyed.

Qian Mu didn't know what to say. Who annoyed him this time.

"Nothing? Then I'll hang up." Lu Yi pretended to hang up the phone.

Qian Mu hurriedly stopped Lu Yi. "Wait a minute! I have something to tell you." He almost forgot what he was calling for.

"Speak!"

"Li Mao is out."

The phone was quiet for two seconds. Then, he heard the irritable voice of Lu Yi. "If he comes out, then he comes out. Why are you telling me? Are you free all day? Do you have nothing to do?"

“…”

Qian Mu felt very aggrieved after being yelled at for no reason. "Didn't you ask me to keep an eye on him and tell you anything?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the air seemed to freeze.

After a while, Lu Yi said in a cold voice again, "Me?"

Qian Mu was speechless. ["If it's not you, then it's me?"]

Of course, Qian Mu only dared to say that in his heart.

Qian Mu rolled his eyes. "Yes!"

Lu Yi leaned against the sofa, closed his eyes, and raised his head to pinch his eyebrows.

He had forgotten.

"Who did you just say?"

Qian Mu was speechless.

Good heavens.

["It seems that you didn't listen carefully."]

Qian Mu repeated, "Li Mao was released, he was rescued."

…

—

After driving Lu Yi out, Gu Moning calmed down a little, but her original good mood was also destroyed. She didn't want to eat anymore, so the takeout was all "for free" for Liu Qianqian.

On the other hand, Liu Qianqian did not want to waste a single drop of food. Under the good traditional virtues of no waste, she left nothing behind. She ate up all of it and made her lie on the sofa burp.

Gu Moning lay on the bed playing with her mobile phone and became more and more annoyed, so she simply sat next to Liu Qianqian.

"Sister Moning, what's wrong?" Liu Qianqian burped and asked in a vague voice.

Gu Moning poured a glass of water, thought for a moment, and said, "If a person does something gently, do you think he does this often?"

"What do you mean?" Liu Qianqian blinked, not understanding what she was saying.

Gu Moning sighed.

Forget it, Liu Qianqian had never been in a relationship before.

Why did she ask Liu Qianqian such a question.

She shook her head with a smile and patted Liu Qianqian on the shoulder. "It's okay. Go to bed early."

"Oh, oh." Liu Qianqian nodded in a daze. She cleaned up the takeout box on the table and carried it out of the door.

Before closing the door, she didn't forget to remind Gu Moning, "Sister, go to bed early. Don't stay up late."

"Okay, go to bed early. Good night."

The moment Liu Qianqian closed the door, the lights went out as well.

The room suddenly fell into darkness.

Gu Moning lay on the bed, staring blankly at the dark ceiling.

Moonlight seeped into the room through the curtains and sprinkled on the carpet, casting a few mottled beams of light that formed dark circles.

The room was so quiet that only her breathing could be heard.

She stared at the ceiling for a long time. In the end, she closed her eyes but didn't feel sleepy at all.

She tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep.

Gu Moning took the phone on the bedside table and turned on the screen.

01:23。

The screen went off.

She got up and walked to the window to sit down.

The night wind blew over, gently lifting the loose hair on her forehead.

Recently, the temperature had dropped sharply, and the heating in the room was turned on.

However, it still made Gu Moning shiver. She rubbed her arms and looked at the neon lights downstairs. From time to time, a car passed by on the quiet street, and she was a little absent-minded.

She couldn't help but think of Lu Yi.

She recalled the first time she met him.

That seemed to be the similar case.
