Xiang Yi somehow felt a little diffident and guilty as she retracted her hand quickly, hiding it behind herself.
Without even changing out of her bear-ears pajamas, Jiang Jiujiu dashed over and stood in between the two of them.
“Yiyi how can you hold a man’s hand!?!”
Xiang Yi said, “I didn’t, I just wanted to do a pinky…”
“You wanted to touch a man’s hand!?!?”
Xiang Yi was dumbstruck by Jiang Jiujiu’s interrogative tone.
‘Uh… there may not be a causal relationship between a pinky promise and holding hands but it seems to be a…juxtaposition?’
Xiang Yi’s eyes darted around uncomfortably and she said, “No-no…”
Shi Sui chuckled.
He discovered that Xiang Yi really wasn’t a good liar.
Her body movements and eye language had all betrayed her.
As her best friend, Jiang Jiujiu had, of course, seen through it too. She was so furious that she stomped her feet and exclaimed, “Y-y-you…you’re not pure at all!”
Xiang Yi pursed her lips without saying anything.
Shi Sui said, “Miss Jiang, Xiang Yi is setting off.”
Jiang Jiujiu seemed to have been woken up from her sleep as she said aggrievedly, “Why didn’t you wake me up!?!”
Xiang Yi said, “You seemed to be sleeping soundly so I didn’t wake you up but I saved you some of your favorite fishballs for breakfast, it’s in the refrigerator. You can have it after warming it up.”
Jiang Jiujiu was full of resentment and she immediately fell silent because of Xiang Yi’s words.
Her ears were red and she tapped her toes against the ground intermittently. Pretending to be nonchalant, she said, “So you still remember my preferences.”
“I’ve always remembered that fish and kale are your favorites. Your favorite fruit is mango…”
Jiang Jiujiu listened for a long time before saying pretentiously in satisfaction, “Okay, okay, I didn’t ask you that many questions.”
After saying that, she gave Shi Sui the side-eye.
Shi Sui wasn’t angry at all and he simply smiled at her politely.
It made Jiang Jiujiu seem like an unreasonable child who was throwing a tantrum for no reason, and himself, a mature and reliable rightful spouse.
Jiang Jiujiu was speechless.
‘What a scheming dog!’
Ah Nan and Si Chuanbai had already come out too.
“It’s time to go, Xiang Yi,” Ah Nan reminded.
The filming started in the afternoon, and later on, she would need to have her hair and makeup done. After all, National Mass Workout wasn’t as casual as Two Under One Roof.
Only then did Jiang Jiujiu fumble in her bag and find a pink sachet. “There you go, this… this is a safety amulet that I randomly got… No, it’s a gift that I got when seeking divination for others! You don’t have to take it to heart, it’s not something important, just throw it away if you don’t like it!”
Despite her arrogant tone, her hand was trembling a little, for fear that Xiang Yi would turn her down.
Xiang Yi grabbed it and carefully placed it in her pocket. She then patted it and said in a warm and gentle voice, “Jiujiu, I’ll put it away well.”
Jiang Jiujiu crinkled her nose and turned her face away. “Leave, don’t say goodbye to me. I hate hearing that word.”
Xiang Yi cocked her head to the side and thought about it before hugging Jiang Jiujiu.
She gently patted Jiang Jiujiu’s back.
“I’ll see you next time then.”
Jiang Jiujiu’s eyes turned red immediately. “You must keep to your word! Anyone who doesn’t is a little dog!”
“Alright.”
Fu Jiayan who had come out to join the fun had an even more bewildered look on his face. ‘Ah, why is there suddenly romance!?!’
‘So it’s a love quadruple within a love triangle within another love triangle!?!’

Si Chuanbai parked the car steadily at the filming location.
The voice of a dissatisfied woman spread from the makeup room.
