That evening, as Shi Xia was about to leave, Xing Jianan called her back.
"Can you do me a favor?" As if afraid that Shi Xia would refuse, he added, "Consider it repaying the favor from last time."
After listening, Shi Xia hesitated for a while but still agreed.
She didn't tell Lu Jingchu, though. She didn't know whether she should or not, and tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.
The next morning, Shi Xia decided to talk to Lu Jingchu anyway.
[Shi Xia: Brother, there's something I feel I need to tell you.]
Shi Xia spent half a day typing, deleting and rewriting.
Lu Jingchu sent a red envelope.
Shi Xia quickly accepted it.
[Shi Xia: Xing Jianan asked me to recommend scripts to Sister Shi... He even recommended Sister Shi to the director... He wouldn't let me tell Sister Shi...]
[Lu Jingchu: Okay, I understand.]
Five minutes later, Shi Xia received a message on her phone.
"Your bank card number xxx has been credited with 1 million yuan. Please check your account."
I'm so sorry, Xing Jianan. He's not only my brother, he's also my heart's ATM!
However, I felt a little guilty.
There's no time like the present, so let's go to Sister Shi's house today and help Xing Jianan with this favor.
Shi Xia is a very soft-hearted person.
...
Shen Shiqing was summoned to the company by Sister Lin early the next morning.
Shen Shiqing thought to herself, this was the first time in a long time that Sister Lin had called her to the company so early.
For no other reason than what happened last night.
Sister Lin felt that it was difficult to explain over the phone, so she asked Shen Shiqing to say it in person.
To be honest, as an artist under Sister Lin, Shen Shiqing really shouldn't have kept those things from her.
But she never expected that the original Shen Shiqing hadn't told Sister Lin anything at all...
Shen Shiqing had no choice but to explain all the relationships between men and women to Sister Lin.
It's like repeating what he said to Shi Xia back then.
Sister Lin looked incredulous after hearing this... It took her a full five minutes to recover.
"What kind of romantic mess is this...?"
“Sister Lin, what you say is acceptable.” Shen Shiqing paused, “However, I don’t like them.”
Shen Shiqing was telling the truth; the only one she truly admired was Lu Jingchu.
"The past is all gone, Sister Lin, don't think about it too much," Shen Shiqing comforted the deeply affected Sister Lin.
"Didn't she leave any evidence of a romantic relationship?" Now that Shen Shiqing has become somewhat popular, Sister Lin doesn't want any further complications, as they would be very difficult to handle.
"A romantic hold on you? Probably not." Shen Shiqing pondered for a moment. "You could say he's a bit of a simp? And love-struck???"
After all, the original book really does portray him as quite sycophantic, so describing him as love-struck is understandable.
Sister Lin felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
His face seemed to say: I never expected you to be like this???
"Oh, Sister Lin, that's all in the past. Now when I see them, I just want to kick them away."
"It's best if you think that way." Sister Lin looked at Shen Shiqing's expression. Hmm, very good, it doesn't seem like an act.
Shen Shiqing saw the message sent by Shi Xia.
Since she was coming over in the afternoon, Shen Shiqing decided to go to the supermarket to buy some groceries first.
We can have a meal together at home then.
Without further ado, Shen Shiqing invited Sister Lin to join him. Sister Lin naturally agreed, as she also wanted to try Shen Shiqing's cooking.
After finishing their daily work, the two went to the supermarket fully equipped with protective gear. They bought this and that, finding them delicious and appealing.
Before I knew it, my shopping cart was full.
"Can we eat that much?" Sister Lin asked.
"It's okay, we can store the leftovers." Anyway, I don't have any work commitments today or tomorrow, so I can eat at home.
Shi Xia thought, she couldn't very well say that her brother knew she was coming and that's why he shamelessly followed her.
When Shen Shiqing and Sister Lin returned to Yunqi Huating with two large bags.
They met Shi Xia, who was waiting downstairs, and Lu Jingchu was standing next to her.
Lu Jingchu has a tall and straight posture, standing at 1.87 meters. On her day off, she wears a casual and loose t-shirt. Her hair is not styled as usual, and the loose strands fall down, just touching her eyebrows. When her eyelashes flutter, the loose strands fight each other and occasionally get tangled together.
"Lu Jingchu is like a gentle puppy, I really want to pet him."
"Wait a minute, something's not right. Why is he here with Shi Xia?"
"Should we invite him up with us? Would that be inappropriate?"
Lu Jingchu listened to her inner thoughts and found them particularly endearing, then gestured to Xiao Shixia beside her with her eyes.
Xia Shi understood and, gritting her teeth, rushed out.
"Hahahaha, Sister Shi!!!!! Long time no see!!! I missed you so much!!" Shi Xia went up and gave Shen Shiqing a hug. "Um, I just ran into Brother Lu, Sister Shi, how about we all get together?"
Shi Xia spoke casually and naturally, leaving Shen Shiqing no room to refuse, nor did she intend to refuse.
"In that case, why don't you eat with us, Teacher Lu?" Shen Shiqing suggested.
Lu Jingchu had already walked over.
"Okay, thank you, Teacher Shen." Lu Jingchu naturally took the bags from Shen Shiqing and Sister Lin and walked upstairs.
Sister Lin froze on the spot, unable to recover for a long time.
So, today's meal is with Lu Jingchu? This is something Sister Lin never expected.
Although I've been in this industry for several years, this is the first time I've ever had dinner with a movie star.
Today is all thanks to her, this big star.
"Sister Lin, what are you still standing there for? Let's go, let's go." It was Shi Xia's voice. Because of her good relationship with Shen Shiqing, Shi Xia also became familiar with Sister Lin.
"Okay, I'm coming." Sister Lin hurriedly followed.
When Shen Shiqing returned home, he poured them all a glass of water and told them to sit down wherever they liked. He then took his things into the kitchen and filled the refrigerator with more items.
Shi Xia was also visiting for the first time and was currently touring Shen Shiqing's house, muttering to herself.
If you listen carefully, you'll know what she's saying.
"This house is nice, I'll buy one someday."
Sister Lin: I don't understand the world of the rich, but I really want to.
Seeing Lu Jingchu's relaxed and casual demeanor, Sister Lin became less nervous.
Lu Jingchu sat on the sofa and spoke politely with Sister Lin. Sister Lin then realized that the movie star, whom everyone had always looked up to but could never reach, was actually a down-to-earth person.
The two talked about some things related to film and television work. When this topic came up, Sister Lin got really excited, and her communication with Lu Jingchu became very smooth.
Her feelings for Lu Jingchu immediately plummeted.
After chatting for about ten minutes, Lu Jingchu got up and went to the kitchen, and Shi Xia also came back from the balcony.
"The rocking chair on Sister Shi's balcony is so comfortable..." Shi Xia only then noticed that Lu Jingchu was not there. "Hey, Sister Lin, where is Brother Lu?"
Did they run away halfway through? What a coward.
"He went into the kitchen to help. What happened?" Sister Lin pointed in the direction of the kitchen.
Damn, turns out he wasn't a coward, he was just an eye-catching coward!!!
"Nothing, Sister Lin, what were you and Brother Lu talking about just now? I'd like to hear it too~" Shi Xia used her charm as her trump card.
Of course, Sister Lin couldn't resist. Anyway, there were no secrets, so it wouldn't hurt to tell. Sister Lin finished speaking briefly.
"Hmm, what's your impression of Brother Lu, Sister Lin?" Shi Xia asked deliberately.
"Yes, Actor Lu is talented, has good acting skills, connections, and is polite. He is a gentleman, and his speech and manners are impeccable. Being with him is very comfortable, and he is very good to my eyes. He is simply flawless." Sister Lin said a lot of words, all of which were sincere praises.
"Is it really impossible to find a single fault with it?"
"Of course, there's not a single fault with it."
Shi Xia was not only amazed by Lu Jingchu's action and efficiency.
In just ten minutes, he managed to win over Shi Jie's manager?!
