The hotel balcony had a chaise lounge.
In front of the lounge was a small coffee table.
Qin Xiaorou had a habit of snacking, so Su Yu brewed a pot of tea. They ate snacks and drank tea together.
Qin Xiaorou explained the situation to Su Yu. Her emotions were very calm throughout.
It was a genuine calmness, perhaps because Su Yu was there, or perhaps because she was confiding in her idol and didn't want to be too emotional.
However, Su Yu could sense the numbness behind her calmness from her words.
"Fortunately, it's only moderate depression. Remember not to stop taking your medication," Su Yu reminded her.
"Mm-hmm, I'm still taking it," Qin Xiaorou replied obediently.
"See how beautiful the clouds are in the sky?" Su Yu suddenly said.
"Beautiful." Qin Xiaorou was startled for a moment, then nodded.
"I used to be like you." Su Yu shook his head with a wry smile.
"I know." Qin Xiaorou nodded.
She knew Su Yu had been heavily criticized online.
That's why she was willing to tell Su Yu these things. It was perhaps due to their shared experience, and she felt they could empathize with each other.
"Actually, there's more to it than that," Su Yu sighed and then ran his hand through his hair in annoyance.
This was reality. In the eyes of keyboard warriors, there was no humanity.
As long as you touched their taboos, they would chase after you like mad dogs.
These people had no hearts.
They would only excitedly wave their keyboards and use malicious words to achieve a sense of inner pleasure.
When you disappeared from this world entirely, they wouldn't remember anything. They would just treat it as a joke and continue to live their lives with a clear conscience.
"Want to go for a walk with me?" Su Yu shook his head and got up from the lounge.
Sometimes, everyone knew the simple truth that if you didn't look at these things, nothing would happen, but was that possible?
He had experienced it, so he knew it was impossible.
He knew that advice and platitudes were useless for depression.
The most important things were companionship and distraction, giving the patient hope was the best cure.
"Okay." She listened to Su Yu very obediently because Su Yu was her idol.
...
Su Yu waited outside for her to change her clothes.
The two of them left the hotel and walked outside.
However, as soon as they stepped out of the hotel.
Nearby, a person wearing a baseball cap lowered their camera.
Huo Dechang, a professional paparazzi.
He often exposed gossip about celebrities.
He was the one who had previously taken photos of Su Yu and Lin Yanyu and sold them to Zhang Tingting.
This person was meticulous in his work and lucky, often stumbling upon explosive news.
And now, he had encountered it again.
"I was staking out Zhang Yunqiang, but I didn't expect to stumble upon a huge scoop!"
Huo Dechang was excited.
He had originally taken a job to photograph a top-tier female celebrity, but he didn't expect Su Yu to come to this hotel.
He had already photographed Su Yu entering the hotel, and now he had photographed him coming out with Qin Xiaorou.
Su Yu's current popularity was undeniable; he was on par with top stars.
And for him to come out of the hotel with Qin Xiaorou, all it would take was a headline to make the entire internet explode!
Of course, he wasn't foolish enough to post it himself. He couldn't afford to offend Su Yu's connections. Like last time, if he couldn't sell it, he would post it from a secondary account.
This was the usual practice for paparazzi.
With that thought, Huo Dechang put aside the job of photographing the top-tier female celebrity and followed Su Yu with his camera.
If he could capture even more explosive news, he would truly strike it rich today!
...
Outside Hengdian World Studios, there was a large commercial street.
This was the largest film and television base in the country, with hundreds of thousands of extras. You could run into a celebrity just by walking a few steps.
These celebrities were known for being wealthy. For merchants to set up shop here, they not only needed strength but also connections.
Su Yu and Qin Xiaorou strolled and chatted, and Qin Xiaorou's mood gradually relaxed.
Her smile became more frequent.
"Don't stay in the hotel if you're feeling down, come out for a walk more often," Su Yu said with a light smile.
Qin Xiaorou's experience was somewhat related to him, so he couldn't just ignore it.
However, he couldn't find a very good solution at the moment.
If he directly posted the malicious comments online.
It wouldn't do any good. At most, they would apologize and then become even more aggressive.
The best way was to ignore them and treat them as if they didn't exist.
Su Yu took her out for a walk and to chat, which could help her relax. Then, he would tell Qin Xiaorou's sister and other family members to spend more time with Qin Xiaorou.
Combined with medication, she should slowly get better.
"I know." Qin Xiaorou nodded with a smile.
Being able to shop and chat with her idol, how could she still be depressed?
...
Su Yu bought Qin Xiaorou a bubble tea.
When he paid, the shop assistant did not accept the money.
"We are a sub-brand of Gong Shixiong Hot Pot. The boss instructed that you are a lifetime VIP of Gong Shixiong Bubble Tea and can enjoy it for free all over the country."
The server's attitude was very good.
The first thing they did during their on-the-job training was to memorize Su Yu's appearance, and this was the most important aspect of their assessment.
Let alone Su Yu coming directly, even if he wore a mask, these shop assistants would have a seventy percent chance of recognizing him.
"Please thank Xiao Gong for me."
Su Yu took the two cups of bubble tea, feeling immense admiration for Gong Juren.
Xiao Gong's business had already expanded to Hengdian.
What's more.
While they were strolling, they also saw a Gong Shixiong Hot Pot restaurant.
This made Su Yu even more impressed.
Unknowingly.
They had walked to the filming location.
The Legend of the Sword and Fairy crew was still filming.
And the crew next door seemed to be filming another Xianxia drama.
"The 'Wen Jian Xun Xian' crew?" Su Yu was a little surprised.
This drama was being compared to Legend of the Sword and Fairy online, and it was its counterpart during the same period.
And the lead actor was Zhang Qingyun, whom he had rejected before.
Many people said that 'Wen Jian Xun Xian' had a larger investment than Legend of the Sword and Fairy, and that it was released at the same time, with viewership ratings completely crushing Legend of the Sword and Fairy.
Su Yu was not worried about any of this. You might have a large investment, but it was all spent on actors' salaries.
And eighty percent of Legend of the Sword and Fairy was used for post-production special effects.
It could be said to be a drama with the largest investment in post-production and special effects.
With such quality as a backup, there was no need to worry.
At this moment, the crew was filming.
"This person's acting is quite good."
Su Yu's interest was piqued as he watched the supporting actor.
This person looked to be in his late thirties to early forties, and he was well-maintained. Judging by his acting, he should be an experienced veteran actor.
The female lead of this drama, who was acting opposite him, was clearly no match for him in terms of acting. The female lead was completely overshadowed.
Just then, it was time for the male lead, Zhang Qingyun's, scene.
He was dressed in ancient costume, with a long sword on his back.
He truly looked the part.
As he arrogantly walked forward and roared angrily at the supporting actor, "1234567! 12! 345! 6789!!"
The supporting actor was stunned.
"Pfft..." Su Yu almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Qin Xiaorou beside him also covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
Although she had seen such scenes many times before and had also acted with male actors who didn't memorize their lines, it still looked very comical from the side.
