Since that day, Siyu had never seen Fifth Master Lu again.
All kinds of medicinal herbs were still delivered to Siyu on time, but he was nowhere to be seen. If it was in the past, Siyu would definitely be jumping for joy because not seeing Fifth Master Lu was equivalent to eating and drinking well. But now, for some reason, she was slightly not used to it.
Fifth Master Lu was a domineering and willful person. He almost didn't consider the feelings of others. If he wanted Siyu to get used to him, he would use all kinds of methods to invade Siyu's life. Even if he wasn't around, he would either bring a message or get someone to send something to Siyu. In short, he wouldn't make himself invisible to Siyu.
Ever since Siyu met him, she had never encountered such a situation where he disappeared without a trace.
Siyu stayed at home and painted for a few days. Finally, she couldn't hold it in anymore. She took out her phone and called Fifth Master Lu. This number had been saved on her phone for a long time, but Siyu had never taken the initiative to call once. This time, she dialed. She waited for a few seconds, but she didn't hear a ring. Suddenly, she realized that she had been blocked.
"…" He only knew how to block her. This childish guy!
Siyu threw her phone aside with a dark face. A trace of embarrassment rose in her heart uncontrollably. She began to reflect on whether she had taken it for granted. It was just a kiss. What could it mean? How could she be so sure that Fifth Master Lu liked her?
Now, he had run away and didn't even pick up the phone.
Siyu's heart was filled with a sense of defeat that came out of nowhere. She bit her lip and picked up the brush again, forcing her mind to focus on the draft. Painting was her favorite thing to do. Usually, inspiration gushed out like a spring, and she rarely encountered a situation where she was stuck. The more she painted, the smoother it became. But today was different. Every stroke was extremely difficult to sketch, as if there was something invisible hindering her.
She didn't know if it was because she was angry at the fact that Fifth Master Lu had blocked her, so nothing went smoothly. Siyu's stubborn temper rarely surged. She didn't believe it. What was the big deal? She continued to bury her head in painting.
The manga "Fashion Strategy" was coming to an end. It had been serialized for more than half a year, and a standalone volume had been published. Even the TV adaptation was in preparation. It was just short of an ending. Siyu promised the readers that she would finish it in the next few days, but because Fifth Master Lu had disappeared without a trace, she was not in a good mood for a few days. She could not lift her pen at all.
This time, she successfully drew it. But after she finished drawing, she looked left and right. She was in a daze. What she drew was exactly what she was thinking. Why did the male character she drew have the same face as Fifth Master Lu?
After staring at the drawing for a while, Siyu threw down the pen and covered her face with her hands. She couldn't believe that her mind had wandered to this point.
After a long silence, Siyu put on her coat and left home. She took a taxi and went straight to Huanyi headquarters. Although she didn't know where to find Fifth Master Lu, there was one person she could definitely find.
When Lu Xingzhou heard the secretary say that Siyu was waiting downstairs to see him, he thought he was hallucinating. "You mean Zhou Siyu?"
The secretary observed his expression and hurriedly nodded. "Yes, Miss Zhou has been here for a while. You were in a meeting just now, so I didn't dare to disturb …"
Confidants like him knew that although Zhou Siyu was not a big star, President Lu was very polite to her. The contract was personally signed by President Lu, and the treatment was the best in the company. It could be said that Siyu was given whatever she wanted. Even superstars did not have the special treatment she had. So when the secretary saw that Siyu had come to the door, he didn't dare to be negligent.
Lu Xingzhou felt a headache coming on. Why did this young lady come here? But even if Lu Xingzhou was given a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to block Siyu outside the door. So, he immediately asked his secretary to invite her in. As soon as Siyu walked into his office, Lu Xingzhou saw the girl's pale face. His heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
Siyu was famous for her poor health. Lu Xingzhou was really afraid that she would suddenly run out and hurt her body. He hurriedly asked his secretary to make the ginseng tea. Then, he cautiously asked, "You two … didn't quarrel and came to me specifically to mediate, right?"
Lu Xingzhou guessed inwardly. A few days ago, he received news that Fifth Master Lu had returned to his home in Rong City and had shut himself in the house all day. According to the bodyguards around him, Fifth Master's face was very ugly when he returned. Everyone avoided him like the plague, afraid that this evil aura would affect them. However, they later found out that Fifth Master was simply staying by himself and did nothing.
This was strange. After all, the Lu family's Fifth Master was never a patient person. Lu Xingzhou thought about it and felt that Si Yu was probably the only person left in the world who could make the Lu family's Fifth Master so angry but not do anything about it.
So, Lu Xingzhou boldly thought, could the two of them have quarreled?
"Quarreled?" Siyu looked puzzled. She instinctively shook her head. "Nothing like that."
Lu Xingzhou thought that she was guilty and comforted her. "Fifth Master's temper is like that. Don't worry, it'll be fine in a few days. Besides, if you two quarrel, how would I dare to get involved?"
Lu Xingzhou was a bystander. Ever since Fifth Master Lu met Siyu, how many times had he made an exception for her? Only these two people couldn't see it clearly. Sometimes, Lu Xingzhou felt a little anxious for Fifth Master. His EQ was really low. He clearly liked this little girl so much that he hated that he couldn't tie her to his side every day and not let her go anywhere. But why didn't he say anything?
How could others understand something like his feelings if he didn't make it clear?
Unfortunately, Lu Xingzhou feared nothing in his life, but he was terrified in front of Fifth Master Lu. He was afraid that he would be beaten up if he said anything, so he could only pretend not to see and let the two of them slowly grind it out.
With that thought in mind, Lu Xingzhou comforted her again. "Siyu, don't worry. Fifth Master can't bear to be angry with you."
Siyu's existence was not a secret. Almost everyone in the Lu family knew about it. During this time, there were people who kept asking Lu Xingzhou if Fifth Master was preparing to have a wife.
God knows how long the Lu family had been bullied. Fifth Master Lu was a master who didn't recognize his own family. The entire Lu family hoped that there would be a woman to control him as soon as possible so that he wouldn't vent his excess energy on pitiful people like them. Of course, it would be even better if Fifth Master's future wife was a woman who was as gentle as water.
Siyu denied it. "I can't quarrel with him. He's the one who's crazy. I just wanted to ask you, what's wrong with him?"
Lu Xingzhou was still debating whether or not to call Siyu "Madam". When he heard this, he spread his hands. "Fifth Master wouldn't tell me anything. If even you don't know, then outsiders like us don't know."
Siyu: "…" What did outsiders mean? If she remembered correctly, Lu Xingzhou was the one who was related to Fifth Master Lu, right?
Siyu didn't get the answer she wanted. She slowly bit her lower lip, and a conflicted look flashed through her eyes. She was too embarrassed to continue asking. It would seem like she was particularly eager. Under Lu Xingzhou's curious gaze, she grabbed her bag and ran away.
"What's wrong with these two …" Lu Xingzhou rested his chin on his hand and thought for a moment. He decided to suppress his curiosity. After all, if the young couple quarreled, he wouldn't be able to help. If Fifth Master Lu came to settle accounts later, then the gains wouldn't make up for the losses.
…
Siyu tried hard to adjust her state of mind and forced herself not to think about Fifth Master Lu. Soon, the ending of "Fashion Strategy" took shape under her pen.
Koi Lai Lai for 500 Years: Thank you for your company for the past six months. "Fashion Strategy" is officially over. If you feel like it's not over yet, you can pay attention to the upcoming TV series!
Throughout the serialization period, the popularity of this comic was high. There were even a few times when it unexpectedly appeared on the hot search list. The number of people who followed it was very large. When it ended, the readers exploded. Koi Lai's Weibo also exploded. Everyone seemed to be celebrating a festival. Once again, without warning, Siyu was on the hot search list.
[I can't believe it's actually over … I'm begging Koi Lai to release some more chapters. It's best if it continues for a year or so. We don't mind at all!]
[Thinking of the days when I squatted at the bottom of the pit waiting for the next chapter, as well as the countless nights I stayed up late for you. Those were my lost youth …]
[You're going to film a TV series?! What a sudden surprise! This kind of melodramatic and refreshing plot with a hint of hot-bloodedness. If it's put on the screen, it'll definitely be very special, right? I'm definitely going to follow this TV series!]
The news of the television adaptation has long been released. I heard that the director this time is not bad, and the production team is quite reliable. Now, only the actors haven't been confirmed. To be honest, I quite hope that Zhou Siyu will act in it. After all, she's a die-hard fan of the comic and even works hard to promote it everywhere. Also, I went to watch the test screening of 'Lethal Beauty' and her acting skills are superb! "
[Zhou Siyu, I think that compared to finding an actor who doesn't understand the original work at all, I'd rather choose a fan like her who dares to publicly express her love. But I'm worried about her health … In the last interview, she seemed to have said that after filming "Lethal Beauty" she would need to rest for a period of time, right? I don't know if she'll be able to free up her schedule.]
[Sisters, this is the time to show our strength. Let's go to her Weibo and post! Her confession to Koi Lai is still at the top of the Weibo. She likes Koi so much. If she has the chance to act in a TV series, she might be very happy. Anyway, there's no harm in trying. What if she succeeds?]
Thus, in this magical atmosphere, Siyu's Weibo, which had nothing to do with the manga author Koi Lai, was attacked by crazy readers at the same time. It was even forced to become a trending topic.
This matter was not over yet. The next day, assistant Shen Yue happily came to Siyu's door with a stack of scripts. He smiled and said to her, "Sister Siyu, look, look, I got you an audition for 'Fashion Strategy'! The cast and crew all said that you're very popular. The readers of the original work are unexpectedly tolerant of you. They took the initiative to call me and asked you to give it a try. If it's suitable, it'll be confirmed immediately! "
