(Thank you to Brother Xi Ye for the tip, welcome back, brother. Thank you to classmate 'Shadow Behind the Screen' for the tip, thank you!)
"Huh? Didn't you become friends because of 'Hui Ming'?"
Zhao Yazhi looked at Wu Cheng with confusion, then glanced at Zheng Xiuxia. In her view, only in this way could Wu Cheng easily make friends with someone like Zheng Xiuxia! Otherwise, how could an ordinary adult be willing to treat a child as an equal?
"Wu Cheng, you are truly amazing!"
Zheng Xiuxia couldn't help but pat Wu Cheng's shoulder, looking very excited. If someone had told her before Wu Cheng gave her the idea that 'Hui Ming' was written by a child, she wouldn't have believed it, but now she was convinced.
"Wu Cheng, you are truly amazing, give me an autograph!"
Wu Cheng looked embarrassed, wondering how a strong woman suddenly turned into a fan.
Sure enough, Zheng Xiuxia brought paper and pen, handed them to Wu Cheng, and said, "Remember to add eight words: 'Emotions tied to this life, my heart remains eternal!'" She glanced at Zhao Yazhi and said, "Wu Cheng, if I want to shoot an advertisement, what do you think about asking your sister Zhao?"
"As long as Sister Zhao is willing, I have no problem!" Wu Cheng shrugged and said.
"Advertisement? What kind of advertisement?" Zhao Yazhi was puzzled.
"Just now, Wu Cheng suggested that Chow Tai Fook shoot an advertisement. I think Sister Zhao's dignified and elegant demeanor is very fitting for our products. What do you think, Sister Zhao?"
"I need to think about it!" Zhao Yazhi hesitated.
Wu Cheng nodded and smiled, "Sister Zheng, you can't make this decision alone! You should first understand the thoughts of your company's upper management. Of course, if it's confirmed, you can also ask me to write the advertisement script for you, but the price won't be cheap!"
"As long as it satisfies us, the price is not a problem!"
"Then it's a deal!" Wu Cheng smiled and said, "By the way, I'll write a number for you!"
After chatting for a while, Wu Cheng and Zhao Yazhi bid farewell to Zheng Xiuxia and prepared to head back home.
As soon as they stepped out of the jewelry store, a white figure ran straight toward Zhao Yazhi.
Wu Cheng immediately darted forward, appearing in front of Zhao Yazhi, and quickly wrapped his arms around the person's waist, turning his body to pull her away just as she was about to collide with Zhao Yazhi.
When he wrapped his arms around the person's waist, he felt a fragrance, knowing it was a woman and that she had no ill intentions, so Wu Cheng didn't blame her.
However, when he saw her face, Wu Cheng was stunned, feeling as if he had seen her somewhere before, but couldn't remember where. But he was sure that she was a celebrity, and if he had seen her before, he wouldn't have forgotten so quickly.
Of course, if he had time to search his memory, he would definitely find her.
"There, Deng Lijun, Jun..."
"I just saw her! How could she disappear!"
"She must still be nearby, everyone look for her..."
"Who would have thought that Jun would be shopping here, this is great, I want an autograph, I want to take a photo with her..."
...
Suddenly, a crowd surged.
That's right! It's her! It's her!
Wu Cheng didn't expect that the beauty in his arms was actually the super star who would later become the most influential figure in Asia, but tragically passed away in middle age. At this moment, the superstar looked young, but her influence already extended across Southeast Asia.
At this time, her sudden appearance in Hong Kong and being recognized by people was bound to cause a sensation!
"Let go of me quickly!"
Seeing Wu Cheng dazedly holding her slender waist, Deng Lijun became anxious.
If she hadn't seen that Wu Cheng was just a child, she might have given him a slap. How could someone be so impolite, holding her waist as soon as they met, even though the situation was a bit special, it was over now!
Wu Cheng, upon hearing this, not only didn't let go, but also hung his bags on her, and then called to Zhao Yazhi, "Sister Zhao, hang your bag around her neck."
"Hey, what are you doing?" Deng Lijun glared at Wu Cheng, finding this kid very annoying.
"Shh!" Wu Cheng put his finger to his lips and whispered, "Miss Deng, I'm helping you. If I cover your face, others won't see you. Besides, who would know that a superstar would be carrying so many bags? Let's go! Don't just stand there!"
Wu Cheng said this and directly took her hand, leading her out of the crowd.
Zhao Yazhi was stunned, smiled bitterly, and followed them out.
After reaching a less crowded area, they hailed a taxi and got in. All three of them breathed a sigh of relief. If they had been recognized earlier, it would have been difficult to leave easily.
"Where are you going, three of you?"
"Sister Jun, where do you live?"
"Peninsula Hotel!"
"That's just a few streets away!"
"Right! That's why I came out to shop alone!"
"Ah! You're Deng Lijun! Can you give me an autograph? I'm your fan!"
Just as Wu Cheng and Deng Lijun were talking, the driver interjected.
Seeing the driver actually look back, Wu Cheng couldn't help but call out, "Brother, the autograph is no problem, but can you focus on driving? If something happens, it's four lives in this car!"
"Oh, oh, sorry! Sorry! I got too excited! Deng Lijun is in my car, just thinking about it makes me feel so happy! Sorry!"
"Focus on driving, or no autograph!" Wu Cheng said, putting on a show of authority.
"Okay, okay! I'll focus on driving!"
Seeing Wu Cheng scold the driver, Deng Lijun couldn't help but laugh, finding this kid quite interesting. "By the way, I don't even know your name! When others see me, their first wish is to get an autograph or take a photo, but you don't seem very surprised when you see me!"
"I am surprised!" Wu Cheng blinked and smiled lightly, "If people knew I hugged you, they would be so envious! Oh, right, my name is Wu Cheng, this beautiful sister is my Sister Zhao, Zhao Yazhi! She also likes your songs!"
"Miss Zhao..."
"Sister Jun, just call me Sister Zhao! I'm also your fan!"
"Does he usually act like this, Sister Zhao? I feel like he's different from other kids, how old is he?" Deng Lijun looked at Wu Cheng strangely.
"Cough, cough, I'm already ten... fifteen this year!" Wu Cheng puffed out his chest, making the driver, who was secretly watching them, laugh.
Seeing Wu Cheng glare at him, the driver quickly apologized, "Sorry, sorry! I couldn't help it!"
As a result, both Zhao Yazhi and Deng Lijun burst out laughing.
"Cough, cough, what's so funny, I really am fifteen! I just have a bit of malnutrition, that's all!" Wu Cheng rolled his eyes in frustration and then changed the subject, "Sister Jun, I have a song to give you! Do you want to listen?"
Wu Cheng said this and glanced at Zhao Yazhi, seeing a hint of disappointment in her expression, and then smiled, "Right, Sister Zhao, I also have a song to give you! But you know, when I sing, my voice sounds terrible, so I think it would be better if Sister Jun sang it. What do you think, Sister Zhao?"
Zhao Yazhi wanted to say, "If it's for me, you should sing it yourself, that's the only way to show sincerity!" But in front of a stranger, she couldn't say it directly, so she nodded helplessly.
On the side, Deng Lijun noticed Zhao Yazhi's discomfort and said with a smile, "Wu Cheng, that's not right. If it's for Sister Zhao, you should sing it yourself, that's the only way to show sincerity! Even if you sing badly, the sincerity is there, right?"
"Cough, cough, I'll sing then... I really will sing!"
"Sing quickly! The driver has already stopped the car!"
"Cough, I'll sing later! I don't want to embarrass myself in front of strangers!"
The driver felt hurt, realizing he was indeed a stranger.
Deng Lijun gave the driver an autograph, and the driver refused to charge them. So the three of them, at Deng Lijun's invitation, went to her suite in the hotel.
"Jun, you are too naughty, leaving a note and going shopping. Do you know how easily this can cause trouble?"
As soon as they returned to the hotel, Deng Lijun was scolded by her agent, and she had to do a lot of coaxing.
After coaxing the agent away, Deng Lijun smiled, "Now there are no strangers, so Wu Cheng, sing quickly! I think Sister Zhao also wants to hear your... masterpiece!"
Seeing Deng Lijun's playful smile, waiting for Wu Cheng to embarrass himself, Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but laugh. She hadn't expected that this superstar, who was so poised and captivating on stage, could be so playful behind the scenes.
Wu Cheng cleared his throat and looked around, noticing a piano. Unfortunately, he only had a basic understanding of the piano, let alone being able to play and sing at the same time.
"Hey, Sister Jun, why don't you teach me to play the piano?"
"But I just want to hear you sing right now!"
Seeing the expressions and conversation between Wu Cheng and Deng Lijun, Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but smile.
After thinking for a moment, Wu Cheng had to steel himself, clear his throat, and say, "The next song is for Sister Zhao, please enjoy it, the song is called 'I Only Care About You.' If I hadn't met you, where would I be? How would my days pass, would I cherish life..."
"I Only Care About You" was originally Deng Lijun's song, and Wu Cheng was just borrowing it to give as a gift. However, this song was from the early 1980s, so singing it now made it seem like Wu Cheng's original work.
Actually, Wu Cheng didn't want to reveal this song so soon.
Because singing it would reveal his true feelings.
Let the time pass, I only care about you.
Willingly infected by your scent...
Listening to Wu Cheng's singing, although it was a bit off-key, she could feel his sincere heart. Her smile gradually faded.
She felt that Wu Cheng's singing carried a sentiment she couldn't face.
Seeing her expression becoming more serious, Wu Cheng's voice gradually became softer.
