Su Er touched up her makeup and made sure the abnormal redness on her face had faded before putting on a mask and going downstairs.

Just as she stepped out of the apartment building, a car honked twice in the distance. Xi Wangshu pulled her sunglasses down a bit and raised an eyebrow at her: "Big star, get in the car."

Su Er opened the car door, sat down, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Xi Wangshu played some soothing music and asked sympathetically, "You must be feeling all tense from being under such strict control for the past two weeks."

Su Er leaned back in her chair to catch up on sleep, and waved her hand dismissively, "Don't talk about it, don't mention it."

Xi Wangshu smiled and changed the subject, "What do you want to eat? Fried chicken? No, you're a celebrity now, shouldn't you be watching your weight? There's a vegetarian restaurant that recently opened on Wangfu Street, and their shepherd's purse salad is absolutely delicious!"

Upon hearing this, Su Er quickly stopped her: "Teacher Xi, please let me go, okay?"

She held her forehead, feeling so wronged by her cravings that she almost cried. "I want to eat hamburgers, fried chicken, cola, ice cream, please stuff whatever is high in calories into my mouth."

Finally, the two chose a Korean restaurant with not many customers. After the first bite, Su Er almost burst into tears.

Xi Wangshu laughed at her: "It can't be that bad, darling."

Su Er's chopsticks didn't stop. "You don't know, I didn't dare to eat when I was filming a while ago because I was afraid my skin would be in bad condition. And now, it's even more out of the question."

Thinking of her two strict teachers, Xi Wangshu felt even more sorry for Su Er and put several pieces of meat into her bowl.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and no matter how much they chatted on their phones, it couldn't compare to these few minutes of face-to-face conversation.

Su Er had almost finished eating when she quietly told her about the disgusting things that happened on set. "You don't know, that guy surnamed Lin, even after I had said all that, still insisted on driving me back to the hotel. The perfume he was wearing was so strong it made me dizzy."

Xi Wangshu frowned, her face full of surprise: "My God! His image on screen is that of a typical elegant gentleman, how disgusting!"

Su Er nodded vigorously, and Xi Wangshu asked curiously, "So what happened next? How did you get rid of him?"

“Well…” Su Er suddenly pursed her lips and fell silent, saying vaguely, “Well, someone just happened to be picking me up for dinner.”

Seeing her like this, Xi Wangshu's sensitivity as a teacher made her sense something unusual. She narrowed her eyes and asked, "Who picked you up for dinner?"

Su Er couldn't stand her headmaster-like gaze and poked at the sauce in her bowl.

Su Er: "..."

Xi Wangshu listened in vain, "What are you muttering about?"

She didn't know how to explain her relationship with Jiang Siyan.

Pursue?

It doesn't really count.

It can only be described as unclear and ambiguous.

Su Er organized her thoughts, "There was such a person..."

"Excuse me, are you Su Er?" A soft female voice suddenly came from beside her, interrupting her rambling explanation.

Su Er immediately changed her expression and put on a gentle smile, "Yes."

She secretly rejoiced that she had put on makeup, otherwise, Sister Qin would have said that she didn't care about her image.

The girl held up her phone and politely asked, "If it's not presumptuous of me, could I take a picture with you?"

"sure."

Xi Wangshu took the phone from her and said, "I'll take the picture for you."

"Thank you, thank you! Your friend is so pretty too!"

One sentence of praise made Xi Wangshu overjoyed, and she started tapping the screen much faster.

After taking the photos, Su Er signed his name on the back of her phone case before waving goodbye to the girl.

Xi Wangshu joked, "Not bad, you've got the air of a big star! If you become rich and powerful, don't forget me!"

Su Er didn't pretend with her, and said with a proud look, "No problem, no problem, I'll use all the money I earn to buy you bags and houses."

Xi Wangshu wasn't fooled by her sweet talk. She hooked her arm around her neck and laughed in a slightly creepy way. "Before you buy me a bag, let's go somewhere else. You need to give me a proper explanation about the person who took you to dinner!"

Su Er chuckled awkwardly, "Drinking isn't allowed, is it? If my manager finds out, I'll be in big trouble..."

She made a throat-slitting gesture.

Xi Wangshu tightened her grip on her neck. "It's alright, let's go to Chen Yiping's place. I've made all the arrangements. I've asked him to reserve a booth on the second floor for us, a secluded corner."

Originally intended for the two of them to enjoy drinks and conversation, it's also quite suitable as a place for them to confess their grievances.

Su Er tried to find an excuse, "But my parents..."

The next instant, Su Er's phone screen lit up, and a message flashed.

【Er'er, Mom and Dad will be home late today. Come home early and remember to call us when you get home.】

Xi Wangshu wasn't surprised at all. After paying, she put her arm around her shoulder and walked out. "The school is having a discussion meeting for the anniversary celebration tonight. After the meeting, the leaders will have to get together for dinner. Your aunt and uncle won't be able to get home early."

Su Er immediately understood, "Shu Shu, you deliberately planned to ask me out today, didn't you?"

"Otherwise what? They'll be calling you one after another at eight o'clock, urging you to go back. Who can stand that?"

Su Er gave her a thumbs up, "Great."

only……

Why wasn't she as happy as I expected?

Chen Yiping's bar is not far from the restaurant and Su Er's house, in a perfectly central location.

It's not yet time for the proper nightlife, and besides, very few people are wearing masks when entering bars.

Chen Yiping spotted them immediately and quickly stepped forward to greet them, "Long time no see, Su Er."

Su Er glanced at Xi Wangshu's face, and seeing that she looked normal, she smiled and replied, "Brother Yiping, it's been a long time."
