Chapter 58: Lest everyone mistake the male protagonist.

On the day he returned from the island, a photo of poor quality suddenly topped the hot search list. As the discussion began to spread rapidly, Shen Zhiyi had just returned to the crew to start work.

Wang Feifei called her immediately after she found out about this and asked, "Have you seen that photo?"

Shen Zhiyi, who had just been handed a phone by Xiao Dong, said: “…I’m watching it now.”

It was a night view photo of a fireworks display on an island. The photographer kept zooming in and out until he captured the Muse anchored on the sea. The sea breeze blew Shen Zhiyi's long hair. She tilted her face slightly upward, and even through the blurry image, one could tell it was indeed her. Next to her stood a very tall man, half of his face hidden in the dim night. He was looking at her sideways, his eyebrows and eyes were hazy and unclear, and they were very close.

There is no doubt that this is Shen Zhiyi and a man. After the photo was posted, it quickly became a hot topic. People in the comment section were speculating about who this man was and the Muse that had its own Baidu entry.

Wang Feifei knew Shen Zhiyi's schedule, so she naturally guessed who the person next to her was. What bothered her was whether she should ask someone to take down the trending search. "What did that person say?"

"I haven't had time to tell him yet."

Wang Feifei always pays attention to the public opinion trend. "Then you can ask him. If he takes measures, we don't have to care. Hey, why are there still people saying that the man is Huo Heng? He broke up for eight lifetimes and still wants to take advantage of him."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Zhiyi contacted Pei Yu. The "beep" sound rang several times before the call was connected.

In the spacious and bright conference room, a group of senior executives were discussing last quarter's financial report. Pei Yu gestured for a pause and then walked to the cubicle.

"what happened?"

She wouldn't call unless something happened.

"Have you seen the trending searches?"

Pei Yu walked a few steps toward the door and waved to Secretary Qin, "What's the hot search?"

Secretary Qin found the trending search and silently indicated: I asked for permission before putting it on the trending search.

Pei Yu understood, "I have seen it, so what? Do you want to withdraw it?"

The photo was not clear and his face could not be seen clearly. Pei Yu looked at it and did not think it needed to be removed.

"You were photographed," Shen Zhiyi didn't mind being on the hot search list. She was often on the hot search list, but this time Pei Yu was photographed with her, which was a completely different matter.

"I don't know," Pei Yu said, "If you mind, I'll have someone remove the trending search."

He gave the right to choose to Shen Zhiyi, which made it even more difficult for him to make a choice.

"I don't mind." Anyway, it has already caused a wave of discussion, so there is no need to remove it. "Then I'll tell Sister Feifei to stop caring about it."

"Ah."

Pei Yu casually swiped the tablet in front of him. Seeing Huo Heng's name appear in some comments, he frowned and asked, "Do you want to explain this situation?"

"You have to ask Sister Feifei." This was the first time Shen Zhiyi had encountered such a thing. The way to deal with it would depend on the company's opinion. However, even if she had to explain, they would just say something like "It's the actor's private life, I can't comment on that."

Pei Yu switched his hand to hold the phone, locked the tablet, and said nonchalantly, "Explain it, so that people won't mistake the male lead."

After a moment's shock, she finally understood what he meant. Indeed, many people speculated that the male protagonist in the photo was Huo Heng, and even compared the two's body contours. In Shen Zhiyi's opinion, they were actually not alike at all, in every aspect.

She responded softly, "Okay, I'll explain."

Wang Feifei was told what Pei Yu said, and the latter had no objection at all. "Okay, just clarify this point to prevent people from making up rumors about it. You don't need to respond to more, just let them guess."

On that day, Shen Zhiyi forwarded the photo and admitted that it was indeed her. Facing the dense comments below, she only replied to one related to Huo Heng.

Within a few minutes of [Not him] replying, the entry "Not Huo Heng" became a hot search, right behind "Shen Zhiyi's new relationship".

As for everyone's speculation about whether she has a new relationship and what her relationship with the male protagonist in the photo is, Shen Zhiyi did not respond at all.

The photo was too blurry, and the onlookers compared it with several male artists who had worked with Shen Zhiyi, but couldn't match her up. Then, thinking back to the Muse, they reasonably guessed that the other party was an outsider.

Those who were familiar with Pei Yu could naturally recognize it at a glance, especially the Muse. Those who had attended the wedding more than 20 years ago still remembered that it was a dreamy and romantic part of that grand wedding.

Qin Xiaoran held the phone and asked her brother, "This is Brother Pei Yu, right?"

Qin Fang was busy, so he looked up and asked, "How can you recognize it even though it's so blurry?"

“This is the Muse!”

Qin Xiaoran muttered, "And next to her is Sister Zhiyi, who can't recognize her? How did Brother Pei Yu bring out the Muse? I thought I could only see her in photos."

Qin Fang was already surprised, and now he was very calm. "It's not just the Muse. Why do you think the fireworks display on the island was suddenly brought forward?"

Qin Xiaoran paused for a moment, and sighed with emotion, "Brother Pei Yu really looks like Uncle Pei now."

Pei's father's romantic deeds in those days were enough to write a book. Compared with other people's generosity and gentleness, he really made people feel his indulgence towards his lover.

Of course, he does this to every lover.

"Tsk," Qin Fang raised his head and glared at her as if warning, "Watch your mouth."

Comparing Pei Yu to Pei's father? That's not a good example.

"I know, I just said it casually," Qin Xiaoran said with a heartless look, and suddenly had an idea, "Do you think Pei Yu would agree if I borrow the Muse to hold a party?"

I have been coveting the Muse for a long time, but the Muse is Pei Yu's mother's relic after all. It has been locked up and has never been out to sea, and no one dares to mention it. Now, Pei Yu is willing to let the Muse see the light of day again, so he should not mind.

Qin Fang sneered, "What a wild idea."

Even her brother doesn't have this face.

Qin Xiaoran asked in his heart, "What if I let Sister Zhiyi tell him?"

"..."

Qin Fang put down the computer, gritted his teeth, and struggled, "Impossible."

He said it without confidence. After all, Pei Yu's behavior these days was no longer the cold-blooded Pei Ge'er of the past.

Of course, I was still quite cold and ruthless towards him.

Qin Xiaoran smiled and said, "Let's make a bet. If I succeed, you have to invite Brother Songzhi to my party."

With Fu Songzhi as a living signboard, she will never have to worry about no one coming to her party.

"Heh, why don't you ask Pei Ge'er to come with you," Qin Fang rolled his eyes, "Let's bet."

Qin Xiaoran did what he said and called Shen Zhiyi, using all the cute and coquettish tricks, "I really, really want to go on the Muse. Sister Zhiyi, can you talk to Brother Pei Yu for me?"

Shen Zhiyi was putting on makeup and was softened by her. "I can't guarantee that it will succeed."
