Chapter 42: I’ve got this Celebrity’s back (2)

Seeing him not speaking, Lu Deng suddenly became a little uncertain.

It was uncertain how much data that the other party can retain from each world. The amount of data he has retained might not have been sufficient to produce a reverse judgement effect in this current world. For an actor who has been a law-abiding citizen for nearly thirty years of his life, he might still have been frightened by having his car stopped and being declared robbery upon.

Already frightened by its host’s alternative methods, the system deeply agreed, “The target hasn’t seen such a big scene. He surely must have been frightened!”

Oh well, it didn’t matter if he had been frightened. Now that he had already barred Gu Xi here, the person laying in wait at Gu Xi’s front door will now come up empty-handed. Now, he just needs to explain clearly and it would be fine.

This was a minor problem. Lu Deng pondered for a moment and raised his head to explain when suddenly Gu Xi grabbed his wrist, eyes sparkling, he said, “Rob me!”

Lu Deng: “…”

System:”……”

Two minutes later, Film Emperor Gu, with his active cooperation, was robbed and stuffed back into the car.

The robber who was kidnapping him was really good-looking and his movements were neat and efficient. His strength control was more precise than before. He even gently supported his back as he stuffed him into the back seat of the car.

The nanny car had a lot of s.p.a.ce and was more than enough for two people.

Gu Xi leaned on the back seat. He lowered his head slightly and his eyes fell involuntarily on the hand that was tying his seat belt for him. His eyes slid along his pale fingers quietly reaching out to help.

The buckle closed with a click and the seat belt was strapped against his chest, binding him back to the seat.

Lu Deng straightened up, turned around and got out of the car. He picked up Gu Xi’s phone and put it next to him.

Kidnappers nowadays were very humane.

The smell of fresh greenery suddenly moved away. Gu Xi raised his eyes as he followed the other’s movements. He raising his eyebrows and said, half jokingly, “Where are you making off with me?”

“Someone is lying in wait for you at your door. They’re waiting to take your pictures so better not go back tonight.”

There was still lingering cigarette smoke in the car. Lu Deng cleared his throat uncomfortably. Looking at Gu Xi’s faintly bloodshot eyes, the corners of his lips were pursed silently. He then brought out some of his experience points and bought a steam eye mask.

Gu Xi was a bit startled at his words and his smile faded. His eyes fell on this unknown paparazzo in front of him.

He didn’t doubt the other party’s words. After all, in this circle, if anyone can understand the movements of those paparazzi, it could only be another paparazzo.

It was actually not uncommon for him to have someone ambush him at his door like this.

Although his villa was remote and few people knew about it, those who deliberately wanted to know could find it. He had already experienced paparazzo ambus.h.i.+ng him and on several occasions, he had even been stalked. But there were still some unwritten rules within the circle. Each party, when handling business, had a bottom line. After several times of sounding each other out and after being refused entry, they generally know to behave themselves and wouldn’t dare cross that line.

Now, it seems that he was no longer being protected by those unwritten rules.

An unusual situation means the presence of a devil.

There was an deviation in the normal convention of the entertainment industry which meant that someone was acting as a devil.

The intention of the young man in front of him was still unclear–maybe he has just entered the industry and his conscience had yet to completely vanish; maybe he wanted to ingratiate himself to him; maybe he was one party to a secret dispute between paparazzi and was h.e.l.l bent on not letting the other party succeed.

But no matter which one it was, at least he was certain that his kidnapper had no malice towards him.

Having thought out matters up to this point, warmth gradually returned to the pit of Gu Xi’s stomach and his pupils regained some gentleness.

Lu Deng allowed himself no distractions. He fumbled in his pocket for the eye mask he had the system retrieve through urgent delivery. With one knee against the seat, he leaned close and carefully put it on Gu Xi.

He actually brought something to obstruct his eyes. Seems like he’s a very dedicated kidnapper.

The corners of Gu Xi’s lips rose up and he took the initiative to lean forward slightly, allowing the other to put on his eye mask properly, trying his best to ignore the adorable panda pattern on it.

The phone began to vibrate again and again. Without even looking at it, he knew that it was the company trying to get a hold of him to question him.

Since his debut, he has worked hard on his own. He had no backers to rely on. He had relied on his innate talent and the blessing lady luck bestows upon children to push his way, shoving and b.u.mping, through. The agency was unreliable. The agent only knew how to fish for a quick buck and the a.s.sistant sold fabricated so-called secrets. Now, he even had people lying in wait for him at his front door.

It was better to be kidnapped.

Film Emperor Gu simply gave up and stopped bothering. He fumbled around for a while and simply did a long press to shut off his phone. The world was finally completely quiet.

Although he had on a nonchalant expression, it was impossible that he wasn’t filled with anger inside. Gu Xi took a deep breath and slowly let out an exhale. He was about to completely throw away his phone away but he suddenly stopped.

In the darkness caused by his obstructed vision, a cool and gentle sensation alighted on his brows, slowly rubbing. The other hand was against his shoulder, pressing him back against the seat.

It was gentle as though trying to console him.

Gu Xi’s heart stirred. He accurately grasped on to that hand. He tightened his hold then hesitantly let go a little. “…Who are you?”

Given that he had been carjacked in the dead of night, strapped to the seat with a seat belt and blindfolded with a fluffy panda eye mask, his remaining rationality reminded Gu Xi, that his reaction to all this was a little too calm. And because his kidnapper touched his face like that was not a good enough reason.

But in any case, he couldn’t bring himself to feel nervous.

He clearly didn’t recognize the other person but he still felt inexplicable sense of familiarity, as he had accepted and blended him into his subconscious countless times. Even if it wasn’t rational, he just couldn’t bring himself to bring up his guard around him.

It was like they’d been acquainted long ago.

It might also be because he was certainly good-looking.

With his sight completely obstructed and everything pitch black, his thoughts become all the more active. Film Emperor Gu leaned back on his seat and let his imagination run wild. After a while, a clear and mellow voice rang in his ears once again.

“Lu Qingzhou.”

It was a good name.

It had a nice ring to it.

Paparazzo nowadays were really top quality.

Gu Xi couldn’t help already doubting which agency’s runaway teen idol this was. As before, Gu Xi held his hand and still did not let go, searching for memories in his mind.

Lu Qingzhou also wasn’t in any hurry to get up. He let him hold his wrist and he paused for a moment before continuing, “I specialize in taking secret photos.”

…

Then it really was a camera.

With a helpless smiles caused by his self-introduction, Gu Xi no longer asked Lu Qingzhou why he suddenly appeared here and why he was granting him such a big favor. Instead, he let go of his hand and joked with a smile, “Are you taking a photo of me now?”

There was no verbal reply. He could only vaguely sense some movement from the other. He didn’t know whether it was a nod or a shake of his head.

Gu Xi raised his hand to lift the blindfold but it was held down with a bit of force by Lu Qingzhou. “Don’t move, I’m taking a secret shot.”

…

Film Emperor Gu froze and was pushed to sit back down.

Paparazzo nowadays were full of ideas.

Film Emperor Gu, who was forcibly taken a secret photo of, was forced to cooperate in it’s taking, allowing the camera’s pleasant unceasing clicking sounds. While distracted and worried about what he must look like at the moment, he couldn’t help closing his eyes and raising his hand to rub his forehead.

The eye mask exuded a refres.h.i.+ng plant fragrance. It was starting to get hot after wearing it for a while. It was not unbearably hot though. It was just hot enough to effectively relieve the fatigue and soreness around his eyes.

His paparazzo kidnapper took shots of him for a while and then the sound of the camera stopped. The folded blanket in the back seat was gently spread open and carefully laid over his shoulder, covering his body.

After a while, the slight movements finally left him and returned to the driver’s seat.

There was no need to face the camera or to maintain his image at all times. Gu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed and leaned back against his seat.

The situation was unclear. The people around him couldn’t be trusted. It was unclear who was out to ruin him. Maybe everyone was. Everyone was just itching to place stumbling blocks along his path.

The only person willing to lend a helping hand to him was actually a paparazzo, someone who has always been shunned by celebrities.

Gu Xi silently pursed his lips. He unb.u.t.toned the top two b.u.t.tons of his s.h.i.+rt, stretched out his body and adjusted the back rest to lie back.

This eye mask was very comfortable.

He doesn’t care where he was abducted to.
