It's hard to imagine that the usually aloof Ning Yu would cry.
Tao Yuxuan's words were blocked.
"Once Sheng Yan is taken away, you'll be the one crying!" Tao Yuxuan said, exasperated.
"Let them take it if they want, I don't like Sheng Yan anyway." Shi Xi turned on her phone's speakerphone and started removing her makeup.
"So who do you like?" Tao Yuxuan's favorite gossip time arrived, and she excitedly guessed, "Could it be that you like Leng Qiankun?"
Was it the fireworks he set off for you last time that touched you? He's devoted to you; you can choose him too.
Shi Xi: "...What nonsense are you talking about? In my heart, you and Leng Qiankun are both my friends." Moreover, they are both cannon fodder friends that she wants to abandon but cannot.
"There's no such thing as pure friendship between men and women," Tao Yuxuan chuckled, adding ambiguously, "But Leng Qiankun is indeed quite good! Although his family background isn't as good as Sheng Yan's, he's devoted to you. And besides, he even went to jail for you, so it's normal for you to fall for someone else! Sheng Yan is just too aloof!"
Shi Xi was speechless. "I thought you were a fan of the pairing between me and Sheng Yan."
He kept urging her to get engaged to Sheng Yan.
If you didn't know better, you'd think Tao Yuxuan was her mother.
"You're my best friend, of course I'm on your side!" Tao Yuxuan continued gossiping, "Do you really not like Sheng Yan anymore? Or did you have a fight with him? What did he do to offend you?"
Shi Xi: ...There wasn't a single word she wanted to hear.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Shi Xi completely ignored her cannon fodder friend and got up to open the door.
"Xie Yunzhou?" Shi Xi looked at the person outside the door, somewhat surprised. "What are you doing here?"
"I live right next door to you." Xie Yunzhou, still carrying food from Jianglou, said, "My assistant bought extra late-night snacks. Would you like to eat together?"
Shi Xi's gaze fell downwards.
The production crew served her boxed lunches for dinner, but she didn't eat a single bite.
It wasn't because she was a picky eater, but because Han Chuan was making sure she didn't eat dinner.
She was already starving, but the aroma of the food made Shi Xi's appetite whetted.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony, thank you!" Shi Xi stepped aside to let Xie Yunzhou in, her eyes crinkling into a smile.
Xie Yunzhou's assistant is so nice!
Xie Yunzhou, who specifically instructed his assistant to buy two late-night snacks: ...
When Shi Xi returned to her room, she heard the phone call still going on.
Tao Yuxuan: "You haven't fallen for Xie Yunzhou, have you? He's no pushover; I heard he even hits women!"
If you're going to choose him, you might as well choose Leng Qiankun!
Upon hearing this, Shi Xi dared not look at Xie Yunzhou's expression.
That's a major villain!
Shi Xi quickly stepped forward, hung up the call, and betrayed her teammate without hesitation, saying, "Those were all said by Tao Yuxuan, and have nothing to do with me."
When in doubt, the first thing to do is to shift the blame.
Shi Xi is not a good person.
Xie Yunzhou was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't hit women."
Shi Xi paused for a moment, then said, "I believe you. You don't hit women, you just throw them into the river to feed the fish."
Shi Xi was feeling down.
She really wanted to get away from the plot!
"Let's have some late-night snacks first." Shi Xi helped set out the snacks and asked, "Will you be staying next to me for the next few days?"
Xie Yunzhou nodded. "Mm."
Shi Xi's eyes crinkled into a smile. "That's quite a coincidence."
It's not a coincidence.
Xie Yunzhou disassembled the chopsticks.
He knew Shi Xi would be staying at this hotel, so he specially arranged for her to stay on this floor.
Only the two of them lived on this floor.
