Su Xia is the entertainment industry's well-known top-tier celebrity, a household name, the queen of hit dramas, and an award-winning Best Actress with multiple prestigious trophies.
She ...
"..." She waved her hands quickly, "No, no, Teacher Ling, you don't have to send me off..."
But Ling Zhiyan had already picked up his coat: "It's okay, I just want to go out and get some fresh air."
Since he had said so, Su Xia had no way to refuse, so she nodded and agreed. After saying goodbye to everyone again, she pursed her lips and walked out of the room with him.
The heating had been on in the private room. As soon as she stepped out, the coldness suddenly came over her. Su Xia couldn't help but shiver and subconsciously pulled her coat closer. But the next second, she was suddenly covered with a thick coat.
She was startled and turned her head slightly. In her eyes, Ling Zhiyan was only wearing the sweater he had just worn in the room, and his coat was draped over her. Su Xia immediately took it off reflexively and said hurriedly: "The car is at the door, you should put on the coat, it's just a short distance away."
But the hand that tried to take off the coat was gently pressed down by a warm big hand, and then quickly retracted. Ling Zhiyan's voice was gentle, with a hint of helplessness: "Su Xia."
His eyes dropped, with an undetectable light: "You don't have to be polite to me."
Ling Zhiyan retracted his gaze in an instant, and changed the subject: "Anyway, the car to pick you up is at the door, just return it to me later."
Su Xia paused, not knowing what to say, and could only agree awkwardly, replying in a low voice: "...Thank you, Teacher Ling."
"..." Ling Zhiyan opened his mouth but said nothing in the end. He sighed imperceptibly and walked to the hotel entrance side by side with Su Xia.
The night was very chilly, with a light breeze blowing. The neon street lights emitted a dim yellow light in the darkness, making the place seem even more desolate.
Su Xia's pace unconsciously quickened. The black car that came to pick her up was not far away, half hidden in the darkness. She stopped and quickly took off her coat and handed it to Ling Zhiyan, saying gratefully, "Just send me here."
She raised her chin slightly and gestured to the car not far away: "Someone has come to pick me up. It's cold, please put on your coat quickly."
Ling Zhiyan's eyes drooped slightly and fell on the coat in front of him. He reached out and took it casually. There was helplessness between his brows, and his voice was gentle and soft, which sounded very nice.
"Didn't I tell you not to be polite to me?"
"That won't work." Su Xia shook her head, a hint of stubbornness flashing through her eyes, "You are my senior. When you debuted and became famous, I hadn't even entered the entertainment industry yet."
She paused and continued, "I'll trouble you today."
"..."
Ling Zhiyan didn't talk to her about this. He sighed and said, "Then be careful when you go back."
His eyes gently fell on the delicate and beautiful face of the girl in front of him, and the corners of his eyes unconsciously showed tenderness: "See you next time."
Su Xia nodded: "See you next time, Teacher Ling."
She turned and walked towards the car, but after taking a few steps she stopped as if she suddenly thought of something, then tilted her head slightly and saw Ling Zhiyan still standing there looking at her, not leaving. She smiled politely, with twinkling lights in her eyes, and her clear voice swept across the night.
"Oh, I forgot to say, happy wrapping."
The girl's red lips opened and closed, and three words came out of her mouth: "Teacher Ling."
