“…”
Xiang Yi felt a little diffident when she saw him.
“Xiang Yi, are you going to have drinks with someone?” Shi Sui asked calmly.
She knew he could never drink today because he had to go to work early the following morning.
She tried to guess what he was thinking. “Are you…jealous of us?”
The netizens were appalled.
—— [Xiang Yi, what kind of a dangerous statement is this from you?]
—— [Hahahaha, she’s absolutely the cutest!]
—— [Huh? Beautiful Older Sister X Pretty Younger Sister, that seems interesting]
Shi Sui said with a helpless expression, “You…” He sighed and continued, “Don’t drink too much.”
“Okay, okay.” Xiang Yi carried the tray and took a few steps out. She suddenly thought of something and turned around again. She said, “There is still a lot of wine in the wine cellar, I’ll treat you to a drink next time!”
Shi Sui chuckled and said, “Okay, I’ll remember your words.”
…
Zhong Yi discovered that Xiang Yi had suddenly become enthusiastic. After working in the entertainment industry for so many years, she had developed a keen sense of observation, and it wasn’t difficult for her to guess the reason for Xiang Yi’s change in attitude.
It turned out that she liked to drink.
“Senior, try this shredded shrimp, it’s fragrant yet a little salty. It’s really chewy too…”
Zhong Yi swallowed her saliva after hearing her tempting description but she, nonetheless, remained poised and graceful.
“!”
‘It’s actually so delicious!’
Xiang Yi began to recommend her other dishes. “These are some peanuts wrapped in noodles with egg. It’s sweet and the fragrance of egg is just right. Although it’s not fried, it doesn’t taste greasy at all…”
Zhong Yi gave it a taste.
“!!!”
Hence, two minutes later, Zhong Yi’s image and reservations as an actress were completely gone as she sat cross-legged on the ground with her hair up in a bun. She paired the dishes with wine, taking mouthful after mouthful, looking just like a female warrior from ancient times.
In the livestream:
—— [Xiang Yi, send the link if you’re capable enough!]
—— [Ahhh, I feel that Xiang Yi has the potential to be a mukbang host. Hearing her description of the food is enough to make me feel peckish!]
—— [Sister Zhong Yi, did you forget about your expression management? Where are your qualms as an idol? Where’s your persona as a beauty?]
…
Shi Sui didn’t join them and instead sat quietly by the window to read a book.
The two ladies were a little distant at first, but they soon warmed up to each other.
Zhong Yi raised her glass and said, “May there be world peace and no longer any scumbags!”
Xiang Yi clinked glasses with her and their glasses produced clear and crisp sounds.
Sometimes, the friendship between women is just that simple. As long as they stood on the same side and liked or hated the same thing, they would be sworn sisters!
The livestream was supposed to have ended by now, and Li Jianyu felt that it would be great to end it here; but Ruan Qing signaled for him to continue.
“If it flops…”
“It won’t. My female intuition tells me so.”
Seeing that Li Jianyu was about to continue, Ruan Qing stopped him with one statement of hers, “Who’s the boss? Me or you?”
Li Jianyu was rendered speechless.
The lowly Li Jianyu immediately kept quiet.
…
Zhong Yi and Xiang Yi began to get tipsy, and their topic of conversation gradually began to get more personal.
“I kinda resent him sometimes, if it wasn’t for him, Jiangjiang wouldn’t have existed… I’m not afraid of being criticized, but I don’t want Jiangjiang to be called names… I think she’s just a little kid who isn’t blessed by the world…”
Perhaps, actresses tend to empathize with others very well. Xiang Yi began to tear up as she listened to her story.
She patted Zhong Yi on her back and said, “Every child was brought to this world for happiness.”
Her words touched Zhong Yi whose eyes reddened immediately.
Xiang Yi hesitated for a moment and leaned closer to give Zhong Yi a hug before patting her back gently.
“Same goes to you, Senior.”
