Lin Zhiran sent Lan Shuang home. Lan Shuang did not ask the taxi to stop at the gate of the community, but stopped in front of a nearby supermarket. When Lan Shuang got off the car, she paid the fare herself and asked the driver to take Lin Zhiran back.

Lin Zhiran was a little anxious: "I'm just giving you a ride, Senior. It's not expensive, Senior, you don't need to..."

"I don't like owing favors to others. I appreciate your kindness, but you just joined the company and haven't started making money yet. How can I let you pay? Go home."

After saying that, Lan Shuang closed the car door. Lin Zhiran looked at Lan Shuang and waved at him, then turned and walked into the supermarket.

As the car drove away, he couldn't help but turn his head and look in the direction of the supermarket. This kind of person was not at all as hateful as the rumors said.

Maybe there really was a misunderstanding, and he was willing to believe what he saw with his own eyes.

…

Lan Shuang bought a bunch of food and drinks at the supermarket and filled up the refrigerator when she got home. She was going to film a show this time and was said to be staying there for a long time, so she prepared everything in advance to prevent Xiaoxue from having nothing to eat.

The two sisters had a sumptuous meal that night. After the meal, while sitting on the sofa eating fruit, Lan Shuang told Lan Xue that she was going to film a variety show and asked her to take care of herself.

Lan Xue was very happy to hear that her sister had found a job and promised to take good care of herself. Only then did Lan Shuang feel relieved.

…

On Friday morning, Lan Shuang dragged her suitcase from home to the airport.

The shooting location this time is in M ​​City, which has beautiful scenery, pleasant climate, and many scenic spots. It is a great place for vacation and tourism.

She was wearing sunglasses and didn't do anything else to cover herself up, so no one recognized her. After all, she had disappeared from the screen for a long time.

After getting on the plane, she took a nap first. She heard that there would be a one-on-one interview before the official filming, which would be released first, so she had to get enough rest and face it in the best condition.

When she woke up, the plane had just landed. She stood up and stretched her shoulders and neck, feeling much better. She went out and found the person who was in charge of picking her up at the airport. After helping her load her luggage into the car, he smiled and said to her, "Teacher Lan looks very good today."

Using the usual rhetoric of getting close, Lan Shuang smiled and said, "I just took a nap on the plane."

"No wonder." The staff member was a young man wearing black-framed glasses and a hat, looking very polite. "Please get on the bus first. We have to wait for someone else."

Lan Shuang was stunned: "Who?"

The staff member was about to speak when he suddenly caught sight of someone out of the corner of his eye. He excitedly raised his sign and, upon seeing the person approaching, replied to Lan Shuang, "It's a male guest. He should be on the same flight as you."

Lan Shuang thought that the other person must be sitting in first class, so she didn't see him.

She lowered her head, took out her phone, and checked the time, not paying much attention to what was happening outside the car window. However, the next moment, the car door opened, and a faint perfume like the scent of a quiet mountain forest blew in forcefully along with the early summer breeze. "Tsk, long time no see."

This voice...

Lan Shuang looked up in surprise, her eyes fixed on the newcomer, "Gu Xiao?"

Why is this old man here?

Then she remembered what the staff had said and widened her eyes slightly: "Are you the male guest?"

Gu Xiao got in the car, took the seat next to her with one long stride, closed the door with his backhand, and turned his head to look at her: "Surprised?"

Lan Shuang: "I'm quite surprised. It's quite rare for a big boss to personally participate in a show. So, are you planning to go on a blind date on the show?"

Gu Xiao chuckled: "I haven't fallen to the point where no one wants me and I need to rely on TV shows to find a partner."

Lan Shuang: “…”

Why does this sound wrong?

She squinted her eyes to look at his outfit: a silver-gray suit, a dark blue tie, a watch worth an unknown number of Ws, and clean leather shoes of unknown brand.

In a nutshell, two words: showoff.

"Then what are you doing here?" Lan Shuang withdrew her gaze and leaned back in her chair, turning the phone in her hand.

The staff rolled up the car windows and drove them to the small villa by the sea.

"This is my first time dealing with a project in the entertainment industry, so of course I have to watch it carefully." Gu Xiao said casually.

This was of course a lie. In fact, they didn't have enough people, and he just happened to be free, so he came to make up the number and create some publicity for himself.

But it would be embarrassing to tell it out loud if he couldn't gather enough people, so he just made up an excuse.

Lan Shuang nodded with a lack of interest: "Oh."

It didn't look like she really wanted to pay attention to him.

Gu Xiao was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "I watched your dance video."

Lan Shuang turned around: "So?"

Gu Xiao raised his lips slightly, met her gaze, and smiled faintly: "It can be used. I asked someone to cut an incomplete version and release it first to attract traffic. The full version will be released after the show officially starts."

"Good idea." Lan Shuang nodded.

"I didn't realize you had such solid dancing skills. Why didn't you tell me before?"

"How do you know I haven't said that before?"

Lan Shuang grasped the key point immediately.

Gu Xiao: “…”

His fingers on his knees twitched slightly, and he was about to think of an excuse to get away with it when Lan Shuang suddenly moved closer and asked with a smile, "You haven't watched all my videos, have you?"

Gu Xiao curled his fingers and looked at her calmly: "Oh, what are you thinking about? I have so much free time?"

Lan Shuang stepped back with a half-smile, putting some distance between them and him, "Really?"

And then nothing happened.

Gu Xiao frowned. Why did this person seem so stubborn?

There was nothing much to say, so the two fell silent. The road to the beach was a bit far, and Lan Shuang was a bit bored sitting there, so she took out her Bluetooth headphones to listen to music and turned her head towards the car window.

Gu Xiao saw it out of the corner of his eye, and turned around to look at her without any concealment.

A simple white shirt, jeans and casual shoes, this outfit is ordinary and nothing special. At first glance, he looks more like a college student.

Who would have thought that such a person could be so fierce and brutal in a fight?

Lan Shuang noticed his gaze and could bear it at first, but he stared at her for a long time. His neck wasn't sore, but Lan Shuang's was. She turned back to look at him helplessly: "How long are you going to stare?"

Gu Xiao didn't feel like he was being caught at all, and smiled arrogantly, "How did you know I was looking at you?"

Lan Shuang: “…”

Otherwise, do you think those two under my eyebrows are for venting anger?

She almost wrote this line on her face.

Gu Xiao chuckled, touched his nose and said, "Nothing, I just thought of something interesting."

Lan Shuang curled her lips, not interested in the interesting things he talked about.

Someone in this life deserves a beating, and she always feels like her hands are itching.

Forget it, just bear with it. What else can my boyfriend do? I have to pamper him.

However, this mood only lasted until the group stage.

Lan Shuang smiled and asked, "Director, please tell me again, who is my regular partner?"
