341 She Can’t Win!
The next day, Su Ji received 10 million yuan from the Xu family when the bank opened.
Not a word of nonsense.
She was contented.
She informed Pei Huai on WeChat and even sent him an emoji with flaming red lips.
[ “I feel like you’re quite all-rounded.” ]
Pei Huai replied a minute later. It was a long message.
[ “Your boyfriend’s abilities aren’t limited to these. In the future, you just have to eat, drink, have fun, dance, sing, and do your business. I’ll suggest work that you like, and I’ll guarantee you a spot in any variety show that you want. It’s up to you whether you want to give me something in exchange, but I’ll definitely help you climb the ladder.” ]
Su Ji looked at the message with a smile.
Who said that money couldn’t buy love?
She clearly loved Pei Huai more and more now.
She placed her elbow on the bed and typed a reply.
[ “I’ve kissed you and you’ve called me your girlfriend. What else do you want?” ]
[ “That’s why I say you’re still too innocent, little girl. Your boyfriend is already 30 years old, and it’s not that easy to satisfy him. Up until now, all of our intimate acts haven’t even gone past foreplay.” ]
Su Ji pursed her lips. She was obviously not as calm as before, and this time.
[ “Aren’t you tired of typing so many words? I advise you to save your energy, uncle.” ]
[ “My strength will always be used on you.” ]
Su Ji’s face was buried in the bed sheet, and the back of her slender neck was a delicate pink.
She couldn’t win!
When he first met her, he was only 29 years old. He was pure and had no desires. He would rather study lychees than waste any time on girls.
What is going on now?
She was screaming in her heart. She didn’t know when Xu Mingzhi had entered her room.
Xu Mingzhi walked around the bed and opened the window for her. She turned around and patted her butt. “Baby, don’t stay in bed. Look at how good the weather is today. After the Lantern Festival, spring is coming!”
“Spring is coming.”
Su Ji seemed to know what was wrong with Pei Huai!
Today’s breakfast was Tangyuan again. Yesterday’s Tangyuans were bought by Xu Mingzhi herself. Today’s Tangyuan were from Du Meilan. There were even tiny golden foil pieces scattered inside. There were also lychee dumplings from Wen Man in the refrigerator.
It would take a few days to finish them.
Fortunately, Su Ji loved them, and she was browsing the news on her phone as she ate.
Xu Ni’s name was still trending. However, the netizens had calmed down a bit.
There was another trending topic.
#Lychee TV’s most expensive variety show in history, “The Cohabitation of Idols” is scheduled for release!#
To be able to reduce the popularity of Xu Ni’s news overnight, it must be another piece of explosive news.
Su Ji clicked on the link and at the top of the post was an official announcement by Lychee TV.
It was a gorgeous, exquisitely hand-drawn poster with the silhouettes of five men and five women.
However, this was only the guests in the first batch.
In the official announcement, Su Ji could see the details of the variety show.
“Despite being called ‘The Cohabitation of Idols’, our guests consist of famous people from all walks of life, including actors and business elites.”
“However, in order to increase the show’s popularity, the initial guests were mostly celebrities.”
“Not only would they live together, but they would also do many things together. For example, the celebrities might join the business elites in a formal business meeting. Or, they might join a zoologist to Continent F to see the Great Migration.”
In short, from the moment they moved into the house, everyone became close housemates.
Su Ji remembered that Pei Huai said that he would get her into any show she liked.
She took a screenshot of the variety show’s official poster and sent it to PEI Xuan on WeChat.
[ “Is this included in the perks you mentioned?” ]
Half a minute later, Pei Huai sent her the screenshot of the poster, but the silhouette of the woman on the left was circled.
[ “This is you.” ]
Pei Huai said concisely.
Su Ji took a closer look at the silhouette and realized that the figure seemed to be brushing her hair like she did.
The comments section was flooded. The netizens were trying to guess who the guests were based on the silhouettes, but they were too small, so most of them couldn’t tell who they were. There were a few figures that were easy to recognize, and the discussion was very lively.
Some fans could tell that one of them was Su Ji, but some guessed that it was someone else.
The only female guest that the netizens could confirm was Nan Miaomiao. She wore the empress’ crown, so she was very easy to recognize.
The netizens followed this line of thought and began to guess whether Lu Shang would be among the male guests.
When it came to tantalizing the audience, Lychee TV was the best at it.
Su Ji looked at the silhouettes of the other guests. Other than Nan Miaomiao, there were some women who looked familiar, but she could not recognize any of the men. She was somewhat face-blind, especially when it came to men.
In the morning, Xu Ni came to hang out with Su Ji. The Xu family’s atmosphere had not been good for the past few days, and she didn’t want to stay at home. When she came, she was covered from head to toe, as if she was a wanted criminal.
Si Jingchuan had come to Su Ji’s house with the excuse of getting some medicine. What a coincidence.
Moreover, the two of them arrived at almost the same time.
When they entered the house, Su Ji was on her phone giving her students the tips and tricks she summarized.
The preliminary auditions for the calligraphy competition had already begun. The first round was individual participation, and the starting time was different in different places.
“Ms. Xu, Mr. Si, please come in.” Aunt Wu was up-to-date with the times. She changed the way she addressed Xu Ni after the news was released last night.
“Hi, Aunt Wu,” Xu Ni greeted her politely. She was wearing her casual black down jacket and jeans. Her face was covered too tightly and she lost her balance when she bent over to change her shoes. She almost fell forward, but Si Jingchuan held.
After Xu Ni steadied herself, she turned around and glanced at him. She pushed his hand back, “I don’t need your help.”
Usually, Si Jingchuan would at least say something sarcastic. However, he just smiled and said, “right, I’m just a busybody.”
Xu Ni looked back at him as if she was looking at a monster. She quickened her pace and walked towards Su Ji, distancing herself from him.
What was going on?
Since yesterday, he had been acting abnormally!
