This just showed Gu Yu was really bored.
She almost wondered if Gu Yu was her fan.
Why else would he come talk to her every day, caring about her just like her fans?
"No problem," Gu Yu said. "I just saw your name on the Weibo trending list and thought I'd come ask."
"Heh..." Su Zhiyi covered her mouth but let out a laugh.
She dropped her hand from her mouth, her voice soft as cotton, her brows curving like crescent moons.
"The trending list today is so lively, with so many celebrities hitching a ride. And you only saw my name, President Gu?"
"You didn't see any other celebrities? Like your friend Pei Yan, and Jiang Yuanheng, who was on the trending list with me? They're way more famous than I am."
"Pei Yan?"
Gu Yu suddenly remembered that Weibo today was indeed a mess, all because of his friend Pei Yan.
His sharp brows furrowed at the thought of Pei Yan, a trace of confusion and disbelief flickering in his eyes.
He and Pei Yan were, at best, casual acquaintances; the Pei and Gu families occasionally cooperated.
He'd never seen Pei Yan on the trending list for love scandals before.
A workaholic like Pei Yan, who didn't even accept scripts with romance—how could he suddenly have a girl he liked?
"I saw his trending topic. If you want to know who the girl Pei Yan likes is... sorry, I don't know."
"Actually, I'm not that nosy. I was just joking."
Su Zhiyi smoothly steered the topic away from Pei Yan.
There was no need to let Gu Yu know that the mysterious girl in Pei Yan's Weibo was her.
Gu Yu continued, "I know Jiang Yuanheng too. He's the youngest son of the Jiang family. I met him once at a Jiang family banquet when he first returned to the country last year."
"Oh?"
Su Zhiyi didn't dare discuss Pei Yan with Gu Yu because something had actually happened between them, but she felt fine talking about Jiang Yuanheng—nothing had happened between them at all.
Gu Yu was a rich young master, and Jiang Yuanheng was a rich little young master. It wasn't strange that they knew each other.
Her gossipy curiosity burned bright.
"Tell me more."
"When Jiang Yuanheng first came back to develop his career in China, the Jiang family approached me. Since the Jiang family isn't as influential in entertainment as the Gu family, they wanted him to sign with Xinghui Entertainment."
"Jiang Yuanheng refused, and that was the end of it."
"I see..."
Su Zhiyi nodded repeatedly as she listened.
Speaking of Jiang Yuanheng, Gu Yu's expression grew complicated. "He's... I always feel he's a bit strange."
He thought again of the trending topic about Su Zhiyi and Jiang Yuanheng.
He ran an entertainment company himself, so he knew exactly what that trending topic was about.
He wanted to say something harsh to get Su Zhiyi to stay away from Jiang Yuanheng, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was strange about him. So he could only come up with a relatively fitting word to describe him.
"Jiang Yuanheng isn't suitable as a friend. He's a very independent person, which is why he didn't want to sign with a company that would constrain him."
"He's... very ambitious."
"Oh... most celebrities in the entertainment industry are a bit ambitious, right?"
Su Zhiyi nodded casually, it was unclear if she had absorbed Gu Yu's words.
"Where's Su Zhiyi? You're up next."
The main leads' scene had wrapped, and the director was calling for Su Zhiyi.
"Coming!"
Su Zhiyi answered, lifting the hem of her floor-length dress. She nodded and smiled at Gu Yu. "I'll go film now, President Gu. Talk another time."
"Mm, go ahead."
Su Zhiyi left.
Gu Yumo, who had just finished filming, greeted Su Zhiyi enthusiastically before she entered the filming area, then watched her walk in before turning to go to Gu Yu.
A faint smile still lingered on her lips, her heart full of her idol's gentle words.
"Sister Zhiyi is so nice. I wish she were my sister, then I could see a beautiful sister every day. It would be so heavenly."
But the moment she turned to her brother, she found him staring dreamily at Su Zhiyi on the set, completely ignoring her words.
Gu Yumo dropped her smile, nudged Gu Yu with her elbow in frustration, as if scolding a failure.
"Gu Yu, aren't you in love with Sister Zhiyi? You're so obsessed at home, yet when you see her, you act like a closet fan in the fandom!"
That was right.
Between these siblings, Gu Yu was actually Su Zhiyi's most ardent fan—not the cosmetic or career fan type.
He had become a fan even earlier than her.
He had fallen in love at first sight with Su Zhiyi's magazine cover back when she was just modeling for magazines.
For her first magazine, he bought a thousand copies himself, only cutting out the cover with Su Zhiyi.
He had a whole room in his house dedicated to Su Zhiyi merchandise.
Whether it was Su Zhiyi's magazines or her endorsements, as long as it was related to her, he bought it all.
He would invest in her dramas, go to the airport incognito to pick her up, and only watch the parts of her shows that featured her—cutting out every second and compiling them into collections that he watched over and over thousands of times.
He liked Su Zhiyi so much that, of course, he knew her true identity...
But he had never told anyone, not even his own sister.
He felt he wasn't a career fan. After Gu Yumo also became Su Zhiyi's fan, he shared his thoughts with her.
Gu Yumo said, "Bro, you're Sister Zhiyi's dream boy fan!"
And she patted his shoulder with great relief. "Sister Zhiyi has quite a few dream boy fans. It's no shame to like her. She's so wonderful that even I, a girl, like her."
So... he was Su Zhiyi's dream boy fan.
