Chapter 2
The moon was s.h.i.+ning in the sky, brightly illuminating the T2 airport entrance making it look like a huge monster was towering the open s.p.a.ce.
In the parking lot exit lane on the third floor, Jian Wei could see that the people around her – who were still surrounding the nanny car – had turned their eyes and were looking in her direction.
Jian Wei was frozen to the spot.
The girl's cry had not only alerted the surrounding fans, but also pa.s.sersby who were watching the scene. These days, Zhou Peipei was so very popular that almost everyone had heard of her. At the drop off zone where people were busy going in and out of the lane, it suddenly became so quiet that you could actually hear a slight cough.
Next second, the buzzing sound was getting clearer and clearer.
Out of the corner of her eyes, Jian Wei took a glance at the black nanny car which stood still in middle of the night, not knowing when it would launch.
Reluctantly closing her eyes, she felt that she could not stay at this place any longer.
Expertly reattaching her mask, she whispered ”Sorry…” before turning around to leave. Who would have thought that, just as she had taken two steps, suddenly behind her there was an earth-shattering scream that could be heard through the whole airport?
Are you kidding me? This group of fans also secretly idolized Zhou Peipei!
Jian Wei broke into a run, but she was surrounded by the fans and the pa.s.sengers who had heard the news.
She was pushed into the crowds again, and in her confusion, found herself to be in the centre of the crowd. She tried to explain herself but it was so chaotic that even when she shouted, she still could not hear her own voice. Her feet were stepped on several times, so much so that it pained her. She was unable to move forward and had to rely on the people behind her for support.
She seemed to have turned into meat, just waiting to be torn into pieces.
Security, where were the airport security?
HELP!
When she was resigned to the thought that she was going to be torn into pieces, suddenly, from the nanny car a few meters back, the door opened and two black men jumped down.
Jian Wei's eyes were wide open. She believe that they could squeeze through the crowd. When they reached her, with one person on either side of her, they began to guard her to move forward.
”I'm sorry, everyone! Don't pus.h.!.+ Let us through!!”
Jian Wei didn't know how she should react when she found herself in front of the nanny car. One of the men said urgently, ”Quickly get inside!”
Although he sounded anxious he still did not dare to push her inside, as if he was afraid that he would offend her.
When Jian Wei had safely boarded the car, the two men got inside as well and the car suddenly moved forward as the driver stepped on the accelerator. The fans around the car retreated like a tide, and soon they became a distant shadow.
The man in the pa.s.senger seat said with a light tone, ”Man, this battle… I had only heard about it in the news before… Never thought that I would experience such scene.”
When Jian Wei heard his voice, she was stunned.
She knew him. a.s.sistant Lin Hao, who worked for that person. Every diehard fan knew him.
When Lin Hao looked back, and found that Jian Wei was looking at him, he immediately put on a warm smile, ”Just now, Zhou laos.h.i.+* must have been frightened. If I had known that you were in the airport, I would have brought along a few bodyguards to get you.”
*laos.h.i.+ - literal meaning is teacher. Used for someone that is respected.
The light was not turned on in the back seat. In the dark s.p.a.ce, the only source of light came through the window from the outside.
Jian Wei had lowered her head. She did not dare to speak a word, her fingertips couldn't stop trembling.
It seems, they had misunderstood…
”Ah.”
Beside her came a sound, it was low and filled with laughter.
Jian Wei's heart skipped a beat. She had been aware for a while that there was someone sitting there, but didn't dare take a look.
”Without an a.s.sistant or bodyguard, just yourself alone among the fans, Zhou laos.h.i.+, what kind of performance were you playing? I hope we didn't disturb you just now.”
The voice was like a spell, causing her to move her eyes towards it as if she were sleepwalking.
Next to the window seat sat a man with long legs. He was dressed just as he was at the airport, but he already taken off his mask and the cap was covering his face, as if he was sleeping.
Definitely due to the light, she was mesmerized by his beautifully-shaped jaw that resembled a mountain, his Adam's apple looking like a beautiful branch.
Jiang Yi.
The first time she saw those two words, she thought, it really was a good name with water and mountains.
*Jiang [江 ]means river; Yi [屹 ] means high and steep; mountain
Inside the car, the air-conditioning was turned on and the leather seats were exquisite. Her hands rested on the top of the seat, gently sweeping the leather; the excitement was spreading, causing her fingertips to tremble.
This nanny car was featured in a variety of videos about him countless times. Every time he bid farewell to the fans, he would get inside this car. His fans always joked around, saying that if they could have one wish from Aladdin's lamp, they wanted to have a tour, Not around this male G.o.d's bed, but a tour of this car!
Now, she was sitting right inside this car.
And he was just within her fingertips' reach.
Jian Wei had to pinch her thigh to make sure that she was not dreaming.
”This is bad, we're being followed.” Lin Hao frowned. He was observing the car through the rear-view mirror.
The driver asked, ”Paparazzi? We just left the airport. How could we suddenly become so popular?”
After Jiang Yi made the transformation from singer to actor a few years ago, he had always played supporting roles. Last year, because of the company's efforts, he was able to land lead roles in several dramas. However, the dramas hadn't been broadcast, so even if the paparazzi had predicted that he would become the next big thing, his popularity wasn't been that high yet so he really wasn't worth such attentive tracking.
Jiang Yi was too lazy to even open his eyes, ”I'm not popular enough, don't we have Zhou laos.h.i.+ here?”
The major airport has always been a place where paparazzi gather. Just now, their movements had attracted many. This, along with Zhou Peipei's popularity, meant being followed was quite ordinary.
Lin Hao was a little anxious, ”This is bad. This will certainly come out in tomorrow's news. Jing jie will be angry when she sees this……”
