Chapter 78: Touching Porcelain (1)
Ye Sui ran to the scene of the car accident, which was already packed with people. She failed to squeeze in, however. Helpless, she could only stand outside the crowd and tiptoe to look inside.
In the bitter, cold night, the dim light made it darker and darker. Ye Sui could vaguely discern that the color of the crashed car was black, but the model could not be seen clearly.
As the autumn wind blew on her face, Ye Sui’s tears tumbled from her eyes. Warm tears rolled across her cheeks, making the surrounding chill even more vivid.
Chen Shu’s car was also black. At this moment, Ye Sui could not help but panic. Her mind was overwhelmed by chaotic ideas.
Did the car belong to Chen Shu? What if something happened to him? She hadn’t lived a better life with him; how could he go first?
Ye Sui stood in the crowd and cried silently. Her shoulders trembled, her face wet with tears.
At that time, Chen Shu was driving, and the accident had taken place not far in front of him. The sound of the collision was so loud, the noise penetrated through inside the car.
Coincidentally, a low battery notification popped up, and Chen Shu’s cell phone just ran out of power. After shutting down, Ye Sui’s voice disappeared at the other end of the phone.
Chen Shu could not reach Ye Sui. He found a place to stop and immediately parked the car on the roadside. Since the cell phone turned off so abruptly, the last sound that Ye Sui heard from him was the loud crash.
Chen Shu had reached near Ye Sui’s worksite. She would certainly come to the scene of the car accident to check.
He suspected that Ye Sui might be there.
Chen Shu parked the car quickly and hurried to the scene. Among the jam-packed crowd, strange figures, one after another, whispered to each other.
Chen Shu looked around, and his eyes stopped on a familiar figure.
He had seen the coat Ye Sui was wearing at home, so he immediately recognized her. The two of them were separated by a certain distance. Chen Shu walked in little by little, closing the gap.
Soon, he noticed that she seemed to be crying.
Public places were too conspicuous, though. Chen Shu did not call Ye Sui by her name. His words rolled around his lips, and he slowly spat out one word, “Wife.”
It was clear that there was so much noise around since all the onlookers were there, but Chen Shu’s voice passed through the air and clearly reached Ye Sui’s ear.
Although Chen Shu didn’t call her name, the voice was too familiar. Ye Sui’s body froze in an instant. She couldn’t believe her ears at all.
The place was too chaotic. Chen Shu pushed the crowd aside and walked behind Ye Sui. He held out his hand and gently pressed it on her shoulder, as if to appease her emotions.
Ye Sui gradually turned around and moved her head, meeting Chen Shu’s familiar and fair eyes.
When Ye Sui turned around, her tears were still falling like a waterfall. Her eyes were red, as if she had spent the whole night crying. Her lips were sealed tight, maybe too agitated to say anything.
Chen Shu looked at Ye Sui and stared into her eyes. “Don’t worry, I’m not hurt.”
Ye Sui’s crying stopped slowly. She gasped, but her throat was so dry that she couldn’t utter a word.
Chen Shu pulled Ye Sui’s hat down, took off his scarf, and wrapped it around her, hiding her face from other people.
His voice was gentle, as if scared of disturbing the moonlight. “Shall we go home?”
Ye Sui didn’t speak, only nodding vigorously. She would follow Chen Shu home and would not let him get hurt in the future.
A horde of ghosts stood outside the crowd, spectating the scene.
The man who was involved in the car accident had now become a ghost, and his soul was standing not far away, looking at the living world in a daze.
If he hadn’t been drunk, if he had not been driving under the influence, if he had been a bit more careful… maybe there would be no car accident.
Chen Shu reached out his hand and took Ye Sui’s. Sensing it was extremely cold, his brows slightly furrowed, pulling a little tighter.
Chapter 78: Touching Porcelain (2)
Sensing it was extremely cold, his brows slightly furrowed, pulling a little tighter.
Chen Shu’s hand was warm like a small fire. The temperature reached to her palm and spread to every inch of her skin.
The night was getting dark, and everywhere Ye Sui looked, all the ghosts disappeared, and the world became quiet. Even the words of others were all covered by that instantaneous touch.
Chen Shu took Ye Sui’s hand and walked out. She just bowed her head and hid her face under her hat and scarf. She had finally realized what would happen if she was recognized.
Fortunately, everyone around them was talking about the accident. No one paid them any attention, and no one noticed that there was a celebrity here.
They just held hands and walked out of the throng of people. Chen Shu’s car was parked at the corner of the road. They naturally let go of their hands, and there was nothing strange on their faces.
The two sat in the car and fastened their seat belts. Ye Sui’s heart was still taut, feeling that everything just now was a horrible nightmare.
Ye Sui hurriedly said, “You must be careful when driving.”
“Okay,” Chen Shu spoke without hesitation and quickly agreed. He knew that what had happened was still fresh on her mind.
The car started and drove into the night.
Sitting inside, Ye Sui looked sideways and saw Chen Shu’s well-defined face. Since he had promised her, he was now driving carefully and did not look sideways to talk.
Chen Shu looked intently at the road ahead. The streetlamp glowed faintly, illuminating the way to their home and his face.
The car window was slightly opened. No one talked in the car, only the sound of the air flowing inside could be heard.
At this time, Ye Sui noticed that because it was too quiet here, her heartbeat became more and more obvious, rampant, frenzied, and restless.
It turned out that from the time she thought Chen Shu had been in a car accident to seeing him safe and leaving the scene with him, Ye Sui’s heart was still beating violently until now.
Wasn’t this because she was too worried that Chen Shu had an accident?
Her anxiousness caused her every nerve to tense up. She ran so fast, she almost sprained her foot. As it turned out, the position of Chen Shu in her heart was more important than she had imagined.
Ye Sui carefully looked at Chen Shu’s face. After getting along for so long, she clearly got used to it. Yet every time she saw it, she thought he looked too good.
Like when eating desserts, dopamine would spread through the blood, creating a feeling of happiness. Like when exercising, the blood circulation would speed up, and the heart would start pounding violently.
Ye Sui thought all the way home. She recalled his every small detail, causing her to blush and her heart to beat faster.
It was only now that Ye Sui had discovered something.
She seemed to like Chen Shu.
After Ye Sui helped Chen Xin’s wife convey the message, Chen Xin was able to keep his company and see his brother’s true face.
Chen Xin had always been looking for opportunities to repay Ye Sui. Since she was a person in the entertainment industry, resources must be vital to her. As the largest advertising company in China, Huaxia could serve as a bridge for Ye Sui.
But Chen Xin worried that Ye Sui would not accept it and did not take the initiative to contact Ye Sui. Thinking about it, Chen Xin found a compromise.
Dior and Huaxia Advertising had always maintained close cooperation. Chen Xin heard that their last celebrity’s contract had expired, and Dior was looking for a new star.
A big brand like Dior needed a popular female celebrity who met the brand’s temperament to promote it.
Chen Xin had a good relationship with the CEO of Dior China, so he just mentioned Ye Sui.
Dior’s choice was naturally demanding. Both Pei Ning and Chang Ying already had other big-name endorsements, so Dior could not approach them.
They were going to choose from a few new female celebrities that had become popular recently, including Ye Sui and Zhuang Jin, who had outstanding temperament.
Although Ye Sui’s appearance was more suitable for Dior, Zhuang Jin had a better reputation. Besides, the brand was also more inclined towards her.
Chapter 78: Touching Porcelain (3)
Besides, the brand was also more inclined towards her.
Because of Chen Xin’s proposal, however, Dior decided to take another look at Ye Sui. After all, it was difficult to choose between Zhuang Jin and Ye Sui.
Chen Xin only provided Ye Sui an opportunity for a fair fight. In the end, whom Dior chose depended on their own charisma.
Ye Sui’s studio received word from Dior, who offered to lend Ye Sui their dresses for Weibo’s red carpet.
Dai Zhi immediately understood Dior’s idea. Right now, they must do their best to help Ye Sui become the brand’s new face.
Dior also talked to Zhuang Jin regarding the news. She initially thought it was a done deal, but now she had to compete with Ye Sui halfway through.
Ye Sui and Zhuang Jin had only seen each other in two variety shows.
In “Opening a Snack Shop with Stars”, Gao Yue, who had been an on-screen couple with Zhuang Jin before, turned a blind eye to her on the program, but he showed a good attitude towards Ye Sui.
In the Celebrity Challenge, Zhuang Jin was not only poor in variety shows but was also criticized by the audience for plastic surgery. In contrast, Ye Sui’s rumors of cosmetic surgery were cleared away.
They were all new celebrities that had just gained popularity this year. If Zhuang Jin lost to Ye Sui in Dior’s resource competition again, it could be regarded as a great shame.
On Weibo red carpet night.
The car drove slowly to the venue and stopped in front of the entrance. Ye Sui stepped out in that Dior’s dress.
Ye Sui’s face was as stunning as ever. Even more eye-catching was the light-colored, dazzlingly decorated dress. It was all handmade and meticulously stitched with flowers so delicate, they swayed a little with each step she took.
Her skin was as white as the blossoms of the almond tree, like standing in the blooming flowers all over the mountain.
The elegant and cool temperament of Ye Sui was natural, adding a finishing touch to her bright and vibrant facial features. The reporters swarmed in, and the cameras clicked.
Director Smith also came to the scene, his expression light while looking at Ye Sui.
He had heard that the female star’s previous reputation was not very good. She started out as a look-alike of a famous celebrity. Although she had received good resources recently and would develop well in the future, this did not prove that Ye Sui was suitable for Dior.
Ye Sui looked bright and stunning. Recently, after gradually clearing her embarrassment, her popularity had soared, and the followers increased exponentially. But Zhuang Jin was an up-and-coming celebrity with excellent public recognition.
How to choose between these two remained to be discussed. The most important thing was whose appearance and temperament could complement Dior’s dress the best.
At this time, another car stopped at the entrance of the red carpet.
Zhuang Jin stepped out from the back, her dress shocking everyone—It was the same as Ye Sui’s, decorated with flowers!
Dior’s move was really amazing.
The brand deliberately lent Ye Sui and Zhuang Jin similar dresses and specified that they should wear them on the red carpet, all to catch them off guard.
Zhuang Jin twisted her slender waist, and her skirt reached her ankle. She moved slowly but had not yet seen Ye Sui. By this point, she had already walked onto the red carpet and came to the front of the camera.
The reporters and viewers who didn’t know the truth were stunned for a while, and a thought flashed into their minds.
Did Ye Sui and Zhuang Jin wear similar outfits?
For female celebrities, it was a big taboo to have similar attire, which meant they would be compared by countless people.
However, on closer inspection, there were slight differences. Their elegance varied, but the styles were generally similar. In other words, the two of them appeared at the same event while wearing a dress from Dior’s new collection.
Did they want to have a head-on fight between the two famous new female celebrities?
