As soon as Xi Wangshu got into the car, she grabbed Su Er's hand and looked her over from head to toe, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Look at you, your face has gotten thinner again? Big star, do you have to work so hard?"
"This time it really wasn't my intention to lose weight. Look, I'm even drinking whole milk and sugar in my coffee. You don't know, I ride horses and shoot arrows every day, my back is so sore I can't even straighten up." Su Er held up the coffee she was holding for her to see.
Xi Wangshu felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this and pinched her arm. "You're so pitiful. I'll treat you to a nice meal tonight."
"What good food do we eat? We have to be fully armed just to go out, otherwise I can't take you to the beauty salon, can I?" Su Er pouted and sighed.
"Isn't this what you've always wanted? To become famous. You chose this path yourself. Make a name for yourself and impress your uncles and aunts."
Su Er felt a tightness in her chest when she heard this. "What do you mean by looking at me with new eyes? My mom called me earlier and ordered me to put a series of things on the agenda, such as taking the postgraduate entrance exam and the civil service exam. I have to choose one."
This was only after Su Er repeatedly fought for it; otherwise, she probably would have had to report to the teacher they had arranged for her today.
"And what about you? What do you think?"
Su Er stirred her straw, her eyes lowered. "It's not that I dislike all their suggestions. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely continue to learn. But right now, I just want to do my best to film the movie."
Xi Wangshu patted her hand reassuringly, "Okay, let's do it your way. Let's not talk about these troubling things anymore."
Su Er took a deep breath, composed herself, looked up at Xi Wangshu, and grinned mischievously, "It's easy to comfort me; only gossip can relieve my worries."
Xi Wangshu made no attempt to hide anything from her, raising an eyebrow. "What? Want to hear my private affairs? I'll tell you all about it."
Upon seeing her malicious smile, Su Er immediately went on alert. She had a strong feeling that what Xi Wangshu was about to say would be something Xi Wangshu would dare to say, and that she would be blushing for at least a short while after hearing it.
Su Er quickly raised her hand to interrupt, looking extremely considerate, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Look at your face, it's all dry. You should moisturize properly when you do a project later."
Xi Wangshu wasn't about to let her off so easily. She changed the subject and took control of the conversation. "Fine, let's not talk about this. Tell me about your recent love life. Tell me, have you become distant from me? Even best friends don't have the right to know about each other's love lives anymore."
Xi Wangshu was still bothered by what she had mentioned last time, and tried to get some information out of her indirectly.
Su Er was frank and open, "I've been in intensive training for the past two weeks, just chatting on the phone, what could possibly happen?"
Xi Wangshu stroked her chin, looking incredulous. "He can actually hold back?"
"What can't you hold back? What are you thinking? We have nothing to hide."
"There's nothing there yet!" Xi Wangshu suddenly shouted.
Su Er blushed, glanced at the others sitting in front of her, and hurriedly covered her mouth, "Hey, what are you doing! What are you yelling about!"
Xi Wangshu gave Lin Shuqin and the others in the front seat an apologetic gesture, thought for a moment, and then asked Su Er hesitantly, "That person... he's not really impotent, is he..."
...
Just then, Jiang Siyan, who was at a drinking party, suddenly sneezed.
Just then, Meng Zhaoqi brought Mo Qingshu in and asked with a grin, "What's going on? Aren't you spending time with your little fairy today? Qingshu said their training camp is over."
"He made an appointment, but he stood me up," Jiang Siyan said with a hint of unknowing resentment.
Today's gathering was organized by Zhao Linsheng. He claimed it was a welcome-back banquet for his older brothers and sisters who had recently returned, but in reality, it was just a legitimate excuse for the younger generation to have some fun.
Jiang Siyan had originally planned to accompany Su Er and had declined the offer early on, but the girl stood him up, so he turned his car around and came here on the way.
Lu Yunzhong chuckled as he listened from the side, “I didn’t realize it when we met last time. I’ve never seen a girl this capable before. I’ve never seen anyone who could make you, Old Jiang, suffer such a loss in silence.”
Ji Hong interjected, laughing lewdly, "That girl is incredibly capable; Old Chiang treats her like his precious darling."
Jiang Siyan raised his glass and took a sip of wine, his eyebrows always displaying a carefree and elegant smile in the face of these teasing remarks.
A burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from not far from the banquet hall, prompting Ji Hong to peek out and ask, "What are those brats arguing about now?"
Ye Tingshu glanced at it and said knowingly, "Chongnian is back from his vacation, right? He's getting along well with Linsheng, they're having quite a bit of fun."
Sure enough, the next moment, Sheng Chongnian's shout came from the crowd, "If you don't give me a clear explanation today, I'm going to ask some of my brothers to judge this. You call yourselves brothers? You've just acquired such a new person and haven't even said a word."
Zhao Linsheng rarely showed embarrassment. He lowered his voice and reasoned with him, "Don't talk nonsense. I really have nothing to do with her. We just happened to run into each other and didn't even exchange more than a few words."
"Come on, I know you too well. When did you ever think you'd reformed?"
Ji Hong found it amusing and beckoned over there, "Chongnian, come here, let your brother Ji Hong judge for you."
Sheng Chongnian found Zhao Linsheng's reaction hilarious. Without thinking, he ran over, held up his phone with an air of importance, and said, "Brother Ji Hong, look, I've only been abroad for a short time, and Linsheng is already keeping it a secret from me. He's got a beauty, but he doesn't know anything about her."
Zhao Linsheng rushed over to snatch the phone, but it was already in Ji Hong's hands, with no chance of getting it back.
Ji Hong opened the video, glanced at it, and his gaze swept over Zhao Linsheng with a half-smile.
Zhao Linsheng's Adam's apple bobbed. He glanced at Jiang Siyan, who was standing aside, and kept giving Ji Hong pleading looks.
But as the saying goes, what you fear most is what happens. Just like when the teacher called roll in class as a child, the question you didn't know the most was the one that was most likely to be called on.
Jiang Siyan suddenly became interested and gestured with his chin toward Ji Hong, "Give it to me, let me see."
Zhao Linsheng's throat tightened, and he mustered his courage to try to stop him: "Brother Siyan, let it go, there's nothing to see, it's just Chongnian playing around."
Sheng Chongnian quickly stopped the phone and respectfully handed it to Jiang Siyan, saying, "Brother Siyan, what's the big deal? Why are you being so dramatic?"
Zhao Linsheng clenched his fist, wishing he could punch Sheng Chongnian. He had never seen such an oblivious person!
Jiang Siyan took the phone and glanced down at the paused screen. Amidst the yellow sand and dust, two figures stood out conspicuously.
If Ji Hong could recognize him at a glance, then Jiang Siyan would certainly be able to as well.
On the phone screen was the footage of him and Su Er riding horses together at the horse farm last time.
