As Ji Jun and Lin Yirou finished grilling a plate of barbecue and sat down next to Xia Qing Tian, the three of them ate skewers while watching Ling Feng Han sing on stage.
"The world I've seen, there are so many people like me... living hard under the vast sky..." After singing the first part, Ling Feng Han looked at the three people below happily eating and couldn't help but say, "Save some for me!"
"Hahaha." The three below burst into laughter.
Ling Feng Han on stage also couldn't help but chuckle.
Looking at the four of them, Qiu Xin Xue's heart was filled with bitterness. She could only tell the production crew that she had been blown by the sea breeze and now had a severe headache, temporarily not wanting to participate in further filming.
There had been enough happening today. The director was also worried that Qiu Xin Xue might fall ill, so he arranged for a van to be reserved for her.
Getting into the car, Qiu Xin Xue's eyes felt sore and her heart felt a little wronged.
Just then, her phone rang. Glancing at the caller ID, Qiu Xin Xue's expression changed. After casually finding an excuse to send her assistant away, she answered the call in the car.
"How is it on your end?" the other party asked directly.
"Mobius contacted Xia Qing Tian today, but Xia Qing Tian didn't receive the call," Qiu Xin Xue said.
"Get Mobius's number." The other party immediately commanded.
"Yes." Qiu Xin Xue replied, which was also her objective.
After a pause, Qiu Xin Xue asked, "May I ask if there's any news about my parents?"
"If there's news, we'll naturally inform you," the other party replied impatiently. "As you know, you've lived in an orphanage since you can remember. It's not easy to find your parents."
"I know." Qiu Xin Xue's gaze darkened slightly, and then she said, "I will work hard to complete the task."
"Effort is worthless. I don't care about your process, only the final result." After saying this, the other party hung up.
Qiu Xin Xue held her phone and sighed heavily.
At this moment, the van door was opened. The assistant, who had returned, held warm water and said, "Sister Xue, is this temperature okay?"
"I don't want to drink it. Just put it aside." Qiu Xin Xue turned her head away and remained silent.
Hearing this, the assistant pouted and put the cup down again. She felt a little dissatisfied with Qiu Xin Xue's troublesome behavior, but she didn't dare to show it.
That evening, the beach bonfire shots were almost finished. The guests were also feeling colder, so the director organized everyone to return to the Heartbeat Villa to rest.
Returning unexpectedly to the coffin house, Xia Qing Tian still felt a little unaccustomed to it.
Fortunately, Li Meng Xiao came ahead of time to help Xia Qing Tian tidy up. She also thoughtfully stayed in the room to wait for her and brewed her a cup of warm fruit tea. After drinking the sweet and sour cup, she felt all warm and cozy.
"Xiao Xiao, you're truly my angel," Xia Qing Tian said with a smile, tilting her head. "It would be great if I could take you with me."
She was truly reluctant to part with Li Meng Xiao. Unfortunately, due to contract changes and Xia Qing Tian's own schedule, Li Meng Xiao might have to work with other artists later.
"I don't know how to do anything. If I stay by your side, I'll only be a burden," Li Meng Xiao said with pursed lips. "When you want to return to the entertainment industry again, I'll come to you then."
"What are you talking about, coming to me? You're the best little angel. I'm afraid it won't be easy for me to get you back then," Xia Qing Tian said dully, holding her teacup. "What if you think other kids are more obedient, better behaved, and more popular than me... and don't want to come back?"
Xia Qing Tian's coquettish demeanor made Li Meng Xiao's heart feel sweet, and her face bloomed into a smile. "No, Qing Tian is the most obedient, most popular, and most attentive~"
"Hehe..." Xia Qing Tian chuckled and continued to ask, "Did Ning Jie say which artist you'll be working with next?"
"Ning Jie hasn't mentioned that yet." Li Meng Xiao took a deep breath and said, "I hope it's someone with a good temper."
In this industry, there are artists of all kinds of personalities. The most feared is to be paired with someone whose temper is more significant than their fame, and who is a bit twisted.
"That's true..." Xia Qing Tian pouted, her eyes lighting up as if she remembered something. "How about Ling Feng Han? I'll ask him tomorrow if he needs an assistant! I'm telling you, my idol is really super nice!"
Upon hearing Xia Qing Tian mention Ling Feng Han, Li Meng Xiao's hand, which was tidying her luggage, trembled slightly. Then she said, "What caliber is Ling Feng Han? If he needs an assistant, it wouldn't be me. I've only worked with you. My experience is shallow, and I'm practically a newcomer. Only you don't dislike me."
"Don't be silly! You're a little angel!" Xia Qing Tian protested. "I'll go ask him tomorrow."
"Alright, but don't bother him," Li Meng Xiao said. "What if he really doesn't want one but feels obliged to agree out of politeness? That wouldn't be good."
Li Meng Xiao knew that even if she said no, Xia Qing Tian would still ask, so she could only remind her first.
"Don't worry, don't worry." Xia Qing Tian said, then yawned again. "I listened to my idol sing so many songs today. I feel like I'll wake up smiling in my dreams tonight. Oh my god... how can anyone be so outstanding!"
"Hehe, smiling in your dreams is fine, but don't kick off the covers. It's easy to catch a cold this season." Li Meng Xiao glanced at the time and said, "You should wash up and go to bed. I'll go back now and come back tomorrow during a break when no filming is happening to help you pack."
"Okay~" Xia Qing Tian responded and waved lazily. "Goodnight, Xiao Xiao."
"Goodnight~" Li Meng Xiao said goodnight to Xia Qing Tian and walked out. As soon as she stepped out of the hall and passed the flower room, Li Meng Xiao heard a tapping sound on the glass.
Turning her head, Li Meng Xiao saw Ling Feng Han standing inside the flower room, smiling at her.
Under the dim yellow light, Ling Feng Han was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, with a light gray checkered knitted blanket draped over his shoulders. In one hand, he held a white porcelain teacup, while the knuckles of his other hand rested against the glass of the flower room.
His warm smile made Li Meng Xiao's heart skip a beat.
It wasn't until Ling Feng Han beckoned to her twice that Li Meng Xiao snapped back to reality and walked into the flower room.
"Just came from Qing Tian's?" Ling Feng Han said with a smile. "I made too much fruit tea, come and have a cup."
"Okay, thank you." Li Meng Xiao replied. Only after a cup of warm fruit tea was placed in her hand did she belatedly realize something.
At this late hour, with a man and a woman alone, wasn't this inappropriate?
She looked up at Ling Feng Han, who was incredibly at ease and dazzlingly handsome, and then felt she was overthinking. She couldn't help but blush.
