260 Aggrieved but Can’t Say It
On the morning of departure, when Ye Xun walked out of the subway station, she didn’t see a certain person waiting for her. She tightened the backpack on her back, stood in a place where the sun couldn’t reach, and took out her phone.
The girl saw Wang Heng’s latest WeChat reply: 【Have you arrived? I’m coming, I’m coming immediately.】
Waiting in the shade under the street trees for about two minutes, Ye Xun finally saw Wang Heng running over quickly.
Stopping in front of the girl, Wang Heng panted and said, “Sorry, I’m a little late.”
Ye Xun shook her head. “Sorry, I arrived early. Where are we going now?”
Wang Heng: “The two of them are downstairs with their luggage. Let’s go over first, and then take a car to the airport. Give me your bag.”
He wanted to take Ye Xun’s backpack, but the girl twisted her body and dodged his hand, keeping the backpack on herself.
“It’s not like I can’t carry it, it’s okay.” As she spoke, Ye Xun rolled up her short sleeves and flexed her arm, showing off her biceps.
Her arms were considered relatively thin among girls of the same age, but with a little force, the outline of the muscles was quite obvious, without a trace of flabby fat.
A ray of sunlight projected through the gaps in the leaves shone on the girl’s arm. On the fair and healthy skin, two drops of sweat reflected a golden color. But obviously she didn’t sweat much. Leaning closer to smell, one could only smell a fresh fragrance, not knowing whether it came from shampoo or body wash.
Wang Heng complained a little, “The main muscles used to carry a schoolbag don’t seem to have anything to do with the biceps, right?”
Ye Xun tilted her head and asked with a smile, “Then do you want to see my back muscles and core muscle groups?”
Wang Heng quickly waved his hand. “Forget it, no need for that. Your core strength is so strong, no need to look.”
From his reaction, Ye Xun seemed to have found some new fun.
The girl’s smile became brighter. “How do you know if you don’t look?”
Wang Heng: “I’ve been beaten by you, I know very well, no need to see it again. Besides, it’s not good to take off clothes on the street.”
Of course, during the first timeline, let alone core muscle groups, he had even seen her groin and glutes. That kind of overall coordinated and streamlined muscle beauty, he had never seen on other girls. Of course, gymnasts on TV also had that feeling, but in reality, he only knew Ye Xun.
The two walked towards Pei Ningle’s apartment like this.
The distance was only a few hundred meters, but the sky was clear this morning, and the sun in late June was really a bit scorching. Soon, Ye Xun’s forehead began to sweat.
As for Wang Heng, his back was already wet with sweat when he ran over.
He couldn’t help but start imagining, it would be great if he could help ofo get shared bikes out as soon as possible.
**
After meeting up, the four of them got into the reserved car and headed straight for the airport.
On the way, Wang Heng sat in the passenger seat, and the three girls seemed to be whispering in the back seat, but he couldn’t eavesdrop.
Two hours later, when they boarded the plane, the situation changed a little. Because the music festival organizer reimbursed the expenses, they took business class with two seats in a row.
Since there were two seats in a row, naturally one girl had to sit with Wang Heng. Regarding this candidate, Han Yixuan arranged for Pei Ningle. From the perspective of risk control, this was obviously the most appropriate.
Otherwise, if Pei Ningle and Ye Xun sat together, Han Yixuan was worried that Pei Ningle would accidentally reveal the key information of their alliance while chatting. As for letting Ye Xun and Wang Heng sit together, Han Yixuan expressed that it was impossible.
Of course, there was a small problem with this arrangement, which was Han Yixuan’s identity as a girlfriend shield against Ye Xun. After all, logically speaking, it seemed more normal for two lovers to sit together. However, when arranging seats, Han Yixuan just used the excuse that ‘Manager Wang Heng has serious business to discuss with Pei Ningle’ to explain it away.
When the plane took off, Han Yixuan and Ye Xun were already chatting.
Regardless of what they thought inside, at least on the surface, they were both friendly, approachable, polite, and sensible girls, so maintaining a friendly atmosphere was naturally very normal. And this time Han Yixuan didn’t forget to take some motion sickness medicine, plus the experience taught by Wang Heng before, so there were no symptoms of airsickness.
Wang Heng and Pei Ningle were talking in low voices about a slightly heavy topic.
“I still can’t quite accept a group of people calling me wife,” Pei Ningle said unhappily. “Even if the people shouting are all girls, I still think it’s not good.”
Wang Heng asked softly, “Do you feel they are disturbing you?”
Pei Ningle touched her earlobe, thought for a moment, and said, “When I’m on stage, as long as they don’t throw rotten eggs at me, it’s not a disturbance. Mainly I hope everyone listens to my songs, but towards me as a person…”
Wang Heng understood and continued, “You don’t want others to attach extra things to you. You hope you are just yourself, and let everyone focus only on your works.”
Pei Ningle nodded repeatedly. “That’s right, that’s right, that’s what I mean!”
However, Wang Heng sighed. “If this is your idea, then I can only say, too naive.”
Pei Ningle: “Naive?”
Wang Heng: “Yes, naive. In the past, everyone only focused on the works of some stars, not because they weren’t curious about the stars themselves, but because there was no internet at that time, no developed information channels like today, so they couldn’t pay attention to the stars themselves. Nowadays, as long as the works arouse everyone’s interest, you yourself will definitely receive attention.”
Pei Ningle: “Because of the internet…”
Wang Heng: “Of course, independent musicians who don’t sign with companies will have much less commercial operation, and while losing a lot of income, they will also lose a lot of annoyance, but this doesn’t mean there will be no scandals and gossip. Even if you don’t actively operate, there will definitely be a lot of grapevine news, as long as you are famous.”
The girl still pouted as if she was very aggrieved, but there was a thoughtful meaning in her eyes.
Thinking for a moment, Pei Ningle suddenly said, “I understand. If my fame grows in the future, there will be more and more rumors of all kinds. It’s okay now, rumors like lesbian are at least not unpleasant, there might be more rumors in the future.”
Wang Heng: “That’s right.”
Pei Ningle continued, “But what I can do is be myself, that’s all. Continue writing songs when I should, go on stage and sing when I should, and don’t care too much about other things.”
Wang Heng looked relieved. “That’s right, leave other things to me and Little Xuan.”
Pei Ningle thought for a moment. At this time, she felt there was still a problem worth struggling with.
So the girl asked again, “Then do I still need to play lesbian with Little Xuan? We clearly aren’t.”
Wang Heng: “Have you ever acted seriously?”
Pei Ningle was stunned. “No…”
Wang Heng shrugged. “The reason for being misunderstood is just that one song. In the future, just don’t write songs that are so easily misunderstood, right? If you don’t want fans to dwell on this kind of gossip, then try to downplay it, don’t mention it actively, and deny it when someone asks. Over time, everyone will naturally slowly forget about this matter.”
“That’s true,” Pei Ningle suddenly laughed. “Like you said, information is so developed now, there is news every day. Who would stare at my expired gossip for no reason?”
Wang Heng: “Yes, but also pay attention to one point, that is, if you don’t want to create scandals, you have to be a little careful usually.”
The smile on the girl’s face suddenly froze. “What do you mean?”
Wang Heng pointed to himself. “I also have to lower my presence around you and keep a proper distance.”
“No need to keep a distance so exaggeratedly, right? Just say you are my brother.” Now, her smile was not only stiff, but disappeared directly.
Wang Heng: “People will dig up your background. Can the fact that you are an only child be hidden from gossip paparazzi? So you understand, for the sake of your career, at least keep a distance from me in front of others. For example, next time you take a plane, sit with Han Yixuan.”
Pei Ningle didn’t speak anymore, just turned her head to look out the window, looking at the sea of clouds under the wing, not letting him see the aggrieved expression on her face.
