"So it's you, Cotton Candy Girl." The man knocked on the car door. "Ye Xing, long time no see."

Eh?

Do they...know each other?

Su Jian looked at the man in front of her in astonishment, then at Ye Xing, and was surprised.

"Long time no see." Ye Xing actually replied "politely," but his face remained expressionless.

"It's been three or four years since we last met, hasn't it?" The man handed over a business card.

Su Jian took it and saw a line written on it: Chen Shaocong, agent of Tencent Pictures' Whirlwind Girl. 

Tencent Pictures!

Whirlwind Girl!

What?!!

Her eyes widened suddenly as she stared in disbelief at Chen Shaocong and Jessica.

So... Jessica is a member of Whirlwind Girls?

She looked at her in shock, but Jessica grinned as if she had expected it: "You didn't ask me, did you?"

"You..." Su Jian accepted the business card, never expecting that her new friend would turn out to be her biggest "enemy"!

"It's getting late, and I still need to take Jessica to her next interview." Chen Shao shook his head and smiled. "Ye Xing, I won't lose to you this time. You have no idea how much resources and money Tencent Pictures has invested! Whirlwind Girl will definitely crush your Firefly Girl under your feet!"

"Is that so?" Ye Xing's lips curled into a smile. "We'll see."

"Very well! Then let's wait and see!"

With a cold expression on his face, Chen Shao hurriedly turned and left, with Jessica immediately following behind him.

"Bye-bye, Su Jian~"

"Bye-Bye."

His tone had lost its earlier excitement and was now tinged with hesitation.

Su Jian got into the car after watching them leave, and curiously looked at Ye Xing's back: "Do you know the manager of Whirlwind Girls?"

Ye Xing's sunglasses sagged as his head moved forward, and his eyes fell on his reflection in the mirror.

"Okay! I won't ask."

Su Jian tactfully zipped up her mouth and nodded obediently.

Ye Xing nodded in satisfaction, then gently shook his head to cover his eyes with his sunglasses again.

……

"Congratulations to Su Jian and Qingzi for passing the interview!!!"

Bang!

The small firework in my hand exploded, sending confetti flying everywhere.

Yu Yan's whistling made a "dududu" sound, like the tongue of the Black and White Impermanence, rolling several times.

In this lively atmosphere, Su Jian and Ouyang Qingzi couldn't help but exchange a few smiles and shake their heads helplessly.

"So noisy!" Ran Yulu, standing beside her, covered her ears and glanced over irritably.

"Hehe, don't be like that!" Xu Momo sat down and put her arm around Ran Yulu's shoulder. "I suggest we celebrate for Su Jian and Qingzi. Shall we have a nice meal?"

“Okay!” Yu Yan immediately agreed.

Hey! You two just want an excuse to eat, don't you!

Su Jian saw through their thoughts, and after exchanging glances with Ouyang Qingzi, she nodded: "Okay!"

Since it was indeed something to celebrate, the two of them naturally wouldn't refuse.

“Then Yulu,” Xu Momo looked at Ran Yulu beside her, “you can’t refuse this time, can you?”

"Hmph..." Ran Yulu sneered, then curled her lips before speaking softly, "I'm in a pretty good mood today..."

"So that means you agree?"

"I don't know." Ran Yulu immediately rolled her eyes.

Everyone burst into laughter, and immediately stood up to go out.

But as soon as she turned around, Su Jian frowned: "But...won't it be easy to be exposed if so many of us go out together?"

The last incident is still fresh in my mind.

If it's just one or two people, it's fine; they won't attract too much attention.

But what if five people go out together...

If five beautiful girls with their faces covered, wearing masks, and dressed very conservatively suddenly appeared on the street, do you think people wouldn't care?

the answer is negative.

Su Jian's reminder brought everyone back to their senses and made them realize this.

"Then... what should we do?" Xu Momo scratched her head. "How about ordering takeout?"

"Ordering takeout is dangerous too." Yu Yan pouted, then a lightbulb went off in her head, "Oh right! Let Ye Xing buy the groceries!"

"ah--?!!!"

Su Jian was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped.

Let that devil buy groceries?

Yu Yan, Yu Yan! How could you even think of that?! Do you have a death wish?!

I was utterly shocked.

But by the time Su Jian came to her senses, Yu Yan had already dialed Ye Xing's number.

“Hey Yu Yan, you…”

"Hey! Brother Ye Xing."

The call connected, and Su Jian's voice abruptly stopped.

Everyone stared at Yu Yan, and Su Jian's heart stopped; she held her breath and stared intently.

I hope Ye Xing doesn't get angry and just walk in and kill everyone...

"Yes! Because Su Jian and Qingzi both passed their interviews, I thought we should celebrate." Yu Yan put the call on speakerphone. "Well~~~ We usually only eat healthy meals, so it's rare to have something happy happen today, so let's celebrate!"

This "little dwarf" is quite good at acting cute, and Su Jian is almost unable to resist it.

Seeing Yu Yan acting coquettishly with Ye Xing, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, for no apparent reason.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before Ye Xing slowly spoke: "This is the last time."

"Thank you, Brother Ye Xing!" Yu Yan grinned. "Um... but Brother Ye Xing, I'd like to trouble you to buy some groceries."

The sound stopped abruptly, and the air became instantly still.

Chapter 101, Section 54: Exquisite Knife Skill

“Um… Yu Yan…”

Feeling the presence of death even through the phone, Su Jian fearfully pushed Yu Yan.

Sister, please have mercy on me! I want to live a few more years!

The problem is that I know Ye Xing's true colors, but others don't!

"Brother Ye Xing~" Yu Yan continued to plead sweetly, "Just buy whatever you like, thank you so much~"

After saying that, she handed the phone to Xu Momo: "You guys help each other out!"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment and had no choice but to quickly join in the "acting cute" trend.

"Brother Ye Xing, I want to eat hot pot!" Xu Momo.

"Brother Ye Xing," Ouyang Qingzi said hesitantly, "everyone's saying we should celebrate... is it convenient for you?"

Ran Yulu was also forced to put the phone down, and glanced at her phone dismissively with a frustrated expression: "Thank you for your help."

Finally, everyone turned their attention to the bewildered Su Jian.

Su Jian panicked and quickly waved her hand.

Sisters, please don't drag me down with you! Don't pull me into this mess!!!

"Su Jian!" Yu Yan glared at herself and shoved the phone at her.

Su Jian took on this hot potato and was flustered for a moment, so she could only stammer an explanation.

“Um… they said they wanted to celebrate. But we were afraid of being recognized if we went out, so we thought we'd stay home. Yu Yan called you without our permission, and then…”

She stopped abruptly, seemingly unsure what to say next.

There was still silence on the other end of the phone; there was no sound.

"Are you... still there?" After hesitating for a moment, Su Jian asked tentatively.

The phone immediately went dead with a "beep".

"I'm hanging up." Su Jian held up her phone to signal.

"So does this mean I agree... or disagree?" Xu Momo scratched her forehead in confusion, looking completely bewildered.

Everyone was at a loss for what to do.

Just then, Su Jian's WeChat notification rang.

"Huh?"

Su Jian took out her phone in confusion, only to find that Ye Xing had sent her a WeChat message.

“It’s Ye Xing…brother.” She held up her phone, somewhat surprised. “He asked…what we want to eat.”
