I Am Rich

35

A week later, "Dawn and the Wild" was broadcasted.

On the day of the premiere, eight episodes were updated online at once. The audience were flocking in, and the views exceeded 100 million in just one day.

[I watched all eight episodes in one sitting, and stayed up all night for it! I simply can't stop!]

[I enjoyed the show! As the original fan of the book, I'm very satisfied with it!]

[My Xiao Ran brother is so handsome ooh]

[Li Xuan’s acting skills are as good as ever~]

[I just want next week to come quickly now.]

[What, Guan Zhiyi is unexpectedly suitable for Zhaoyang, isn't she so cute?]

[I take my previous words back! Guan Zhiyi's version of Zhaoyang is really good!! I couldn't stop laughing when I saw her acting like a baby with Shen Sibo!!]

[Hahahaha I can watch the scene between Guan Zhiyi and Xiao Ran hundreds of times over and over again, it's so sweet!]

[It's still sweet now, there will be a lot of torture later on. (sighs from the original fan)]

[Sweet, naive young woman.]

[Anti fans, don't be embarrassing. She did pretty good at acting as Zhaoyang,

it's not stupid or naive, but sweet!]

The original book of "Dawn and the Wild" already has a large number of fans to begin with, and now with a popular cast, beautiful costumes, plus a plot that respects the original book, in less than a month "Dawn and the Wild" has exploded in both public praise and ratings.

At the same time, Guan Zhiyi, Xiao Ran and others began to carry out various promotional activities, variety shows, commercial activities ......for a whole month, they were too busy to even touch the ground.

Originally, Liu Yun felt that Guan Zhiyi might be too tired and would secretly grumble about how tired she is, but unexpectedly, in the past month, Guan Zhiyi seemed to have been injected with chicken blood**, she does not seem to know how to rest.

(**someone who is so excited that it appears he/she has received an injection of a drug.)

"Zhiyi, I've picked two dramas for you, however there is some overlap in the shooting time of these two, so take them back later and see which one you are more interested in." In the event lounge, Liu Yun walked in with a script.

Guan Zhiyi stretched out her hand: "Let me see it now."

Liu Yun glanced at the clock, "There's still work to be done later, just take a rest now. You can read the script later."

"It's okay, let me see."

Liu Yun twisted her eyebrows, and instead of bringing the script over, she handed it to Maomao who was beside her: "I said, you have been very weird this month."

"What?"

Liu Yun sat down in front of her and said oddly: "Before, you were not very keen on work that is not filming, but recently it's different, you have been very active, as if you're afraid of being idle. What's the matter with you, did you suddenly come to your senses?"

Guan Zhiyi was stunned and smiled bitterly: "Sister Yun, the recent activities are all related to "Dawn and the Wild". This drama will be my turning point. Shouldn't I actively cooperate?"

Liu Yun thought it was right, yet she still felt that Guan Zhiyi was strange. For example, outside of activities, her spirit has not been very high, the whole person is insipid and not too talkative, which is very different from her usual self.

"If you're stressed out because of the sudden rise in attention, you can talk to me about it, don't hold it in alone."

Guan Zhiyi didn't deny it either, only smiled faintly: "I know."

After promoting for a whole month, Guan Zhiyi has a week off.

Guan Yuanbai called and asked her whether she wanted to go home, but she excused herself, said that she had pre-production training and stayed alone in her small apartment for a whole week instead.

A week later, she flew to Hengdian and joined the crew for her new drama. Then, for more than two months, she didn't go anywhere, only focusing on filming in Hengdian.

In the past two months, the popularity of "Dawn and the Wild" on the Internet kept going on, especially when the plot developed to the death of Shen Sibo, when Zhaoyang cried bitterly while opening his coffins. The Internet was in uproar praising Guan Zhiyi acting skills.

Suddenly, the image of her only playing the "silly white girl" role was completely overturned.

This is a very good thing for Guan Zhiyi. She has always wanted to change the public's perception of her. Now that she can finally prove herself, she is very happy. But after being happy, she still woke up at midnight dreaming about the words she heard at the staircase that day.

Three months have passed, and she has obviously kept herself so busy that she has no time to think about Qi Chengyan, yet his figure still appeared in her dream.

Even so, she has worked hard... trying to persuade herself, not to force something if it's not meant to be hers.

Life is not a drama, there won't be many twists and turns.

She thought that she would slowly get better. After all, she was so busy. As long as she's not coming closer to him and doesn't feel his good anymore, she could slowly forget him.

Just like when he went abroad in the past, completely forgotten over time.

Soon after, the filming in Hengdian finished. Liu Yun arranged a return flight ticket and gave Guan Zhiyi a vacation for the next month.

She hasn't been home for a long time, but she didn't tell anyone about her return. Only after Liu Yun sent her back to the apartment, she packed her luggage and asked the family driver to pick her up.

She didn't expect Hua Hongxi to return to the imperial capital on the same day as her. When she got home, he sent her a message saying that he was also at the Imperial Palace today and wanted to meet with her.

Guan Zhiyi responded, after eating, she took her phone and left the house.

Hua Hongxi was waiting for her outside earlier, she had just gone out a few steps when she saw him jumping over wildly.

"Zhiyi!!!"

Guan Zhiyi immediately reached out to stop him: "Why are you back? Didn't you say that you want to have fun for a long time first before coming back."

Hua Hongxi's face was bitter: "Grandpa insisted me to come back, and he did not hesitate to use 'he is not feeling well, if I don't come back, I'm unfilial' drama, so there's no other way, I can only come back here."

Guan Zhiyi said, "Oh...then what are you going to say to me today?"

Hua Hongxi sighed, "Grandpa thought that I had let you down, and he was very upset, saying that I must apologize to you. Speaking of which….. I still don't know how to explain to them about that matter, so instead of apologizing, I'm here to discuss it with you."

"No need."

Hua Hongxi: "Hmm...huh?"

Guan Zhiyi smiled: "It's all in the past, there is no need to explain anything."

Hua Hongxi was stunned: "Didn't you really want to explain before."

She indeed wanted to explain before, because Qi Chengyan. But looking at it now, there is absolutely no need for that, so naturally they don't have to explain one by one and ask for trouble.

"So much time has passed and everyone has forgotten about it, let's not mention it again."

Hua Hongxi glanced at her: "You don't like my cousin, then--"

Guan Zhiyi glared at him: "I've told you so many times before, I'm not! Stop talking nonsense!"

Hua Hongxi smiled slyly, and took her shoulders with his arms: "Your reaction is so big, why do I think that you really like him...oh, anyway I feel that even if you like my brother you won't have a big chance, how could my brother, that kind of person, fall into this little kid evil schemes?"

"...Who did you call a little kid?"

"You look like a little kid."

"Hua Hongxi—"

"Ouch, I'm wrong, I'm wrong, don't hit me!"

When Qi Chengyan came from the intersection, he saw two quarreling figures from afar.

She came back, he knew it, because it was not difficult to get the schedule of the artist under his hand.

It was just surprising to him that she didn't tell him about it.

He knew that she was very busy for the past three months, but he did not expect her to be so busy that she couldn't answer his calls and messages, for so many times. Even if she occasionally had time to reply to his message, it was only a few words at most.

Liu Yun told him that Guan Zhiyi just recently burst into the limelight and the pressure might be a little too heavy.

Qi Chengyan naturally believed that this is the reason, otherwise, what else can be the reason ......

"Xiao Wu."

When she was arguing with Hua Hongxi, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind.

Guan Zhiyi felt that she had spent a long time trying to forget him, but it turned out that she still underestimated her feelings. She had known him for half of her life, and even his voice is not something that can be easily forgotten in just a few months.

Her heart jumped, Guan Zhiyi pursed her lips, took a light breath before slowly turning her head back. She smiled a little, and made herself look like nothing was wrong: "Why are you also here?"

Qi Chengyan stepped forward: "I have some business with your brother, when did you get home?"

"Around an hour ago."

Qi Chengyan nodded, glanced at Hua Hongxi's hand on Guan Zhiyi's shoulder, and said lightly: "What are you doing here?"

Hua Hongxi said, "It's nothing, grandpa asked me to apologize to Zhiyi, so I came here."

Qi Chengyan twisted his eyebrows: "You are apologizing?"

Hua Hongxi grinned: "Of course not, brother, you also know that the matter between me and Zhiyi is fake, there is nothing to apologize at all."

"Oh, then when are you going to tell everyone clearly about that matter?" Qi Chengyan asked.

"This matter ah, Zhiyi said that there is no need to explain." Hua Hongxi was afraid of being scolded by his family, and it would be better for him if that matter was no longer mentioned.

Qi Chengyan froze for a moment, there was astonishment in his eyes: "Why?"

Guan Zhiyi did not look at him, only said: "Nothing, I think this is not an important matter. There is no need to bring it up again and adding trouble for everyone, it's unnecessary."

Qi Chengyan frowned, the first thought in his heart was disapproval. She clearly has nothing to do with Hua Hongxi, how is it unnecessary to explain.

Qi Chengyan: "Xiao--"

"I'll go home first if there's nothing else, do you guys want to come over to my house?"

Hua Hongxi waved his hand quickly: "I won't go, your brother might be very upset if he sees me."

Guan Zhiyi also thought the same and said: "Then you go first, I will help you talk to Grandpa Qi."

"Damn! You are too kind, aren't you? Love you!" Hua Hongxi took her hand as he said this, preparing for a foreign ceremonial kiss, but Qi Chengyan blocked his mouth as soon as he was about to come up.

"Umm……"

"Go back." Qi Chengyan withdrew his hand and wiped it on him with disgust.

Hua Hongxi blinked, looked at his brother's cold eyes and chickened out: "Oh okay, then I'll go first ah."

Hua Hongxi ran all the way back, so only the two of them were left at the door.

Qi Chengyan stared at Guan Zhiyi, just when he was about to say something, the little girl in front of him suddenly turned back and walked in, "My brother should be in the study, come in."

She walked very fast, it seemed like she didn't have anything she wanted to say to him.

But he remembered that they hadn't seen each other for more than three months...
