Chapter 423 - 423 252

Chapter 423: Chapter 252 Chapter 423: Chapter 252 ‘Haha, I dub it the Oreo sandwich cookie.’

‘What do you mean, what Oreo sandwich cookie?’

‘She means black on both sides with white in the middle, looking like an Oreo sandwich cookie.’

‘Ah~ don’t say that, you really shouldn’t say that, it does indeed look like an Oreo.’

‘Ugh… fine, Oreo it is, but can we not use the term ‘sandwich cookie’? I just finished watching an NP emperor-themed show, how am I supposed to look at ‘sandwich cookie’ now?’

‘Holy crap… I just spit water all over my screen, sis, this is a charity gala opening live broadcast, not your home toilet, can you put on your pants first?’

‘Hahaha, how do you know I’m watching the live broadcast in my bathroom?’

‘Boohoo, seriously, is there a similar script that can pass censorship? I want to see the three of them act it out for me! Sign me up for a blood petition!’

‘Blood petition +1’

‘Ahhhh! What am I seeing, Shen Jinghe is holding Wenyan’s hand, wuwuwu, family members with delighted expressions, they’re dishing out sweets!’

‘Don’t be like that, they aren’t the type to hype up CPs.’

‘Boohoo, I’m not saying they’re stirring things up, we’re just self-entertaining within our own circle.’

‘They’re just good friends, you know, Hehe is actually helping Wenyan find a place for signing. There’s hardly any space left on the wall, Hehe has the height advantage and found a spot up high, Wenyan didn’t see it just now.’

The truth was exactly that.

When elevations differ, so does one’s view.

After signing his own name, Shen Jinghe nodded at Wenyan.

“I should’ve worn ten-centimeter high heels tonight.”

Shen Jinghe chuckled lightly, “Are you planning on piercing the sky?”

Wenyan gave him a withering look, “If piercing the sky is up to me, does it mean you and those taller people are all lying down?”

Shen Jinghe was deflated, with nothing to say.

But the two didn’t have time for more conversation as the host quickly cued them to stand in the center for photos.

That Shen Jinghe was arranged to be the finale today was also because of a collaboration with the organizers.

So after the trio’s photo op, the host kept Shen Jinghe back on his own.

This had been the scheduled plan all along, and Shen Jinghe complied.

As a result, Wenyan and Gu Xiran went down first, and the event organizers’ live broadcast cameramen also stopped following the guests leaving the red carpet.

The two walked shoulder to shoulder into the inner venue.

Gu Xiran curiously asked Wenyan, “You seem to have a good relationship with Teacher Shen Jinghe. Does everyone you collaborate with become a good friend like that?”

“Hmm…” Wenyan thought carefully, “It doesn’t seem so, actually. So far, I haven’t had that many deep collaborations, and I don’t have that many works yet. Xu Letian before, wasn’t that a no go? I think making friends is also about destiny.”

Moreover, strictly speaking, she and Shen Jinghe were not exactly friends; there were other ties between them, but there was no need to mention that to Gu Xiran.

After listening to Wenyan, Gu Xiran nodded, “I think it’s because Xu was too purposeful, it’s quite hard for such people to make true friends in the circle. Be careful!”

While speaking, Gu Xiran almost missed a step.

The lighting here was dimmer than elsewhere, and he hadn’t noticed at the moment.

It wasn’t just him, Wenyan hadn’t noticed either.

Wenyan was still wearing high heels, and if Gu Xiran hadn’t been quick to support her, she would’ve likely taken a nasty fall.

In the moment of stepping into the void, Wenyan’s heart raced with fear.

Seeing Gu Xiran extend a hand to her, she instinctively held onto it.

“That scared the life out of me, thankfully you were quick. What rotten luck, my foot kind of hurts.”

“Did you twist it?”

“I’m not sure. Can I borrow your hand to support myself and try moving it?”

Gu Xiran not only propped up Wenyan with one palm, but his other hand also wrapped around her back to support her other arm.

Shen Jinghe, as soon as he stepped off, saw such a scene.

He raised his foot and strode toward Wenyan’s direction.

As a result, without exception, he too missed a step at that spot.

Having had a similar experience himself, he felt just a bit better looking at Gu Xiran now.

But overall, he still wasn’t pleased.

“What happened, Wenyan?” Shen Jinghe stepped up and supported her arm right next to her.

“You’re here?” Wenyan moved her ankle again, “I nearly fell just now, but I’m okay.”

“Really okay? Does your foot hurt?”

Wenyan shook her head, “It doesn’t hurt. Let’s go inside, it’s so windy here.”

Shen Jinghe nodded, but seeing Wenyan and Gu Xiran move in sync, he couldn’t help but stop.

“Are you going with him?”
