The makeup photos that had been taken the day before had appeared on the official Weibo post at eight o'clock this morning.
Right now, the Internet was already carrying the banner of nonverbal CPUs. The love story that had just been revealed yesterday had been pushed to the top again because of today's makeup photos.
The first scene was in S City, so the director had informed them yesterday that he would be there for a while.
It was already time for the assembly, but there was no sign of Qi Luofei. Si Qingyan was a little depressed. Qi Luofei, who was never late, was actually late. How many things had he missed about Qi Luofei in the past two years?
"Is senior not here yet?" Gu Qingshan walked to the director's side and asked worriedly.
Suddenly, the director slapped his head and woke up with a start. "Ah! I forgot. Luofei will go to S City by herself. She knows the location. Let's go first." As soon as he finished speaking, the director was about to get into the car when Si Qingyan stopped him.
"Why don't we go together?"
"I don't know, but Luofei knows what she's doing. She won't hold you up," the director explained.
Si Qingyan rolled his eyes. Was that what he meant?
"No. I just want to ask if something happened to her."
"I don't know about that. Every year, there are a few days at this time. Sometimes, she would still be somewhere else. When it comes to today, she would run back to N City."
As Gu Qingshan listened, the worry in her heart increased. She looked at Si Qingyan, who did not look well either.
He knew very well how obsessed Qi Luofei was with acting. Unless it was something particularly important, it was impossible for her to miss the scene.
"Well, I'll go to S City with Qi Luofei when the time comes. You guys go first." Si Qingyan left his words behind. He glanced at his manager, Lee Jing, and left.
The director was stunned. "No! Qingyan, why are you running away? What does Luofei's matter have to do with you?" he shouted at Si Qingyan's back.
Lee Jing said apologetically, "Director, I'm really sorry."
"Ouch!"
"Um, Director, can I also..."
"What are you doing now?" The director looked at Gu Qingshan, who was so nervous that she couldn't even speak clearly until the director sighed and sat down on the two steps of the car.
"Alright, there's still time. Let's reschedule the time when the time comes." The director rubbed his temples.
His plan to go to S City had been completely disrupted. The female lead and the main character weren't around. They could do nothing even if they went to S City.
The director felt a slight myocardial infarction as he stood there.
Qi Luofei's phone was turned off. Si Qingyan gave up after a few calls and called her agent.
"Yan?" Fu Cheng asked tentatively.
"It's me. Qi Luofei's phone is turned off again."
Fu Cheng seemed to have heard something funny and asked with a suppressed smile, "You're not here to ask me where the Little Master is, are you?"
"Yes."
"To be honest, I've been with Ms Fei for quite some time, but I really don't know where she is. Every year at this time, Ms Fei disappears for a few days. I asked her why, but she refused to tell me."
"Every year...?" Si Qingyan caught what he thought was the point and asked again with uncertainty.
Fu Cheng was a little surprised and asked, "Yan, you and Ms Fei have known each other for no less time than I have. After all, we were childhood sweethearts. Don't tell me you don't even know this?"
Si Qingyan was speechless. He really wanted to say that he didn't know.
At this moment, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
Just like Fu Cheng said, they were childhood sweethearts. How could he not know about this?
The funny thing was that everyone around Qi Luofei seemed to know about it. He was like a hothead, foolish enough to ask Fu Cheng about it!
This feeling was really f * cking depressing!
"Yan, why don't you ask Ms Fei's mother?"
"Ah!" Si Qingyan's face was filled with embarrassment.
Fu Cheng was surprised again. "Yan, don't tell me you don't even have Ms Fei's mother's phone number?"
"No, I just feel a little awkward." Si Qingyan voiced his thoughts.
Fu Cheng was speechless. She really wanted to hang up the phone.
"I understand." Seeing that the other party did not intend to pay any more attention to him, Si Qingyan did not ask any more questions.
He hung up the phone and opened his contact list. He still had Lyi Jin's phone number, but wouldn't it be rude to suddenly call her?
'Forget it. I'll just make a trip to East Scenic Garden. Qi Luofei might be there right now. Judging from Fu Cheng's tone, she should be fine. '
Si Qingyan was wearing a black mask, a simple white T-shirt, a denim jacket, black tights, and a pair of canvas shoes.
He stood near the bus stop, his phone beeping. To his left, two girls stared at him for a long time, smiling as if they recognized Si Qingyan but didn't move.
Soon, the bus arrived.
Si Qingyan stopped when he opened the door. He looked at the two girls and took off his mask.
The girls screamed on the spot.
"If you want an autograph, hurry up." Si Qingyan's voice was gentle. He had always been warm to his fans.
The warm man was Si Qingyan's number one label, and Qi Luofei was the complete opposite. As long as she spoke of the cold queen, all the fans knew who she was.
The two girls immediately took out a pen from their backpacks and said, "Prince Charming! Can you sign here?" One of the girls with twin ponytails pointed at her clothes and said.
"Of course." Si Qingyan took the pen and signed his name on her clothes.
"Thank you!" The girl with twin ponytails was extremely excited.
Si Qingyan smiled and looked at the other girl with loose hair. The girl said nervously, "I'll also sign on the clothes." The girl's hands were trembling and her cheeks were red.
After signing, Si Qingyan was about to say goodbye when the girl handed him the cake in her hand. "This is for you!" The girl was still nervous.
Si Qingyan wanted to refuse, but seeing that the girl was so nervous that she was about to cry, he accepted it.
"Thank you!"
After saying goodbye to his two fans, Si Qingyan got into the car. He took a deep breath and looked at the cake. His thoughts drifted back to Qi Luofei.
If Qi Luofei was at home, why would she ask him? How was he going to answer?
Was he going to answer that he was worried about her?
But their relationship didn't seem to be that good, did it?
Damn it! If he had known earlier, he would have brought Gu Qingshan along and blamed it on her!
Si Qingyan, who had been annoyed all the way, did not notice that the car was slowly approaching its destination. He only reacted because of the driver's reminder.
"Sir, we are here."
Si Qingyan carried the exquisitely wrapped cake and stood outside the iron door after getting out of the car.
It wasn't his first time at Eastview Gardens, but he always came as Qi Luofei's boyfriend. What was his identity this time, an ex-boyfriend? Or was he her current colleague?
"Ding dong!" After almost ten minutes, Si Qingyan finally pressed the doorbell.
The person who opened the door was Qi Luofei's maid, Mrs. Liu. She was surprised to see Si Qingyan.
"Young Master Si, why are you here?" Mrs. Liu asked.
Si Qingyan was even more embarrassed now. "I, I came to see Luofei on behalf of the production. I wonder if she's home?"
"Well..." Mrs. Liu hesitated for a moment. "Come in first." With that, she opened the door.
Si Qingyan took a deep breath. He was so nervous that his calves were about to cramp. There was no change here. It was the same as before. The flowers, the grass, and the swing were still there.
"Madam, Young Master Si is here."
Lyi Jin, who was sitting in the living room in a daze, turned around and met Si Qingyan's eyes. "You brat, are you looking for Feifei?" Lyi Jin did not show any displeasure towards him or wanted to chase him out. Instead, she asked in surprise.
"Yes." Si Qingyan hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
"Go back. Feifei won't see anyone today."
"Why?"
Lyi Jin's face was full of shock. She stood up and her gaze was attracted by the cake in Si Qingyan's hand. She pointed at the cake and said in surprise, "You..."
"This is a gift from a fan. I wanted to bring it to eat with me," Si Qingyan explained.
"Brat, did you forget that Feifei's birthday is just around the corner?"
Si Qingyan froze on the spot when he heard this. His expression froze, and he even forgot to breathe. Lyi Jin's words lingered in his mind.
"What do you mean by birthday?" Si Qingyan blurted out.
"You don't know?"
"Why do you all think I know everything?"
Si Qingyan was really at a loss. He did not understand. He was puzzled. For a moment, he wanted to cry.
Seeing this, Lyi Jin immediately told Mrs. Liu to bring the cake to the kitchen. She pulled Si Qingyan down to sit.
"Qingyan, I told you that I will come back to Feifei in two days, okay?" Lyi Jin asked carefully.
"Auntie..."
"Feifei's temper is a little bad, especially today. She doesn't dare to provoke anyone, so she can only stay by herself."
"Isn't Luofei's birthday in December?" Si Qingyan asked as if he didn't hear Lyi Jin's words.
Lyi Jin's hand paused. "Did she tell you it was December?"
"Everyone knows this, not just me."
"Qingyan, I don't know what to say to you. Why don't you go back first? If you want to explain this matter clearly, Feifei will have to tell you," Lyi Jin explained again.
Mrs. Liu stood at the side, wanting to help Lyi Jin send her away, but she couldn't. After all, this was the Qi family's business, and she was just a servant.
But she had watched Si Qingyan grow up.
Si Qingyan stood up, bit his lower lip, took a deep breath, and said, "Auntie, I'll go and see Luofei."
Hearing Lyi Jin's words, Si Qingyan could not feel at ease and left.
"Sigh, go, go." Lyi Jin sighed helplessly. Just as Si Qingyan was about to walk towards the stairs, Lyi Jin said, "Luofei is not in her room. She's in the innermost room."
Si Qingyan heard this and went upstairs nervously.
