"They want money from you?" Xia Hong did not know about this matter, perhaps he did not even know about this in his previous life. This time, while Xia Hong still valued her and the prestige of the Old Master Gong still had not passed, she had brought up this matter. With Xia Hong's understanding, he would definitely stand on her side.
Xia Yu nodded her head, "There were a few times where I could do it, but I just couldn't bring myself to say it out loud."
"I know." Xia Hong's face was gloomy, showing that he understood.
Xia Yu returned to her own apartment, saw someone she wanted to meet, and even predicted that Lin Shulan wouldn't live a peaceful life. She felt both her body and mind relax. She lazily took a bath and lied in the bathtub. The traces of what happened last night had almost completely disappeared and her skin was completely clean. Xia Yu squinted her eyes and realized that she had completely forgotten about that incident.
Only after a long while did she clean herself and walk out wearing her bathrobe. Only then did she realize that there were three missed calls from her phone, all of them from Lu Zichu.
Xia Yu called back.
"What's wrong?"
"Where are you now?" Lu Zichu's aggrieved voice came from the other end of the phone.
"At home." Xia Yu replied depressingly as she sat down on the sofa. Not long later, a knock on the door could be heard. Xia Yu hung up the phone and opened the door, seeing that Lu Zichu was standing outside, he smiled slightly: "When you're done, squatting for so long, until my legs are numb, I thought something happened to you …." As he said that, his gaze landed on Xia Yu's exposed skin. A patch of snow-white, because he was casually wearing a bathrobe, it was not as covering up.
"Why are you here?"
Xia Yu opened her mouth in a daze, she remembered that no one knew about her apartment, hence she told Gu Chengcheng alone.
"Just ask around!"
Xia Yu moved out of the way and allowed Lu Zichu to walk in. He was holding a few things in his hands, "A moving present …" He put it aside. After being busy recently, he indeed did not have time to go out. However, during that time, he could always recall Xia Yu's face, his every word, and even her calm and collected consoling him.
At the time he was in the greatest despair, it was Xia Yu's calmness that gave him courage. This kind of feeling slowly gave birth to a type of liking, a type of feeling as if he wanted to look at Xia Yu.
"You still need to film tomorrow, is that alright?"
Xia Yu casually asked. They were already very familiar with each other, and actually weren't this familiar with each other either, but she had linked the memories and emotions of her previous life, making them feel as if they had known each other for a long time. Others who heard it felt that it was a little strange, but Lu Zichu heard that it was actually very comfortable. He really liked being in such close contact with Xia Yu.
"Not tomorrow, but three hours later. There's a night show."
Lu Zichu said, his gaze fixed on Xia Yu's body, not moving.
"Oh."
… ….
The two of them sat on the sofa at the same time. Xia Yu seemed to be feeling cold, and only now did she realize that she was still wearing her bathrobe. Her face turned red as she walked into the room.
The two of them didn't have anything in common to say when they were together. Xia Yu relied on her memories and spoke out suggestions that were beneficial to Lu Zichu.
Lu Zichu turned around and looked at the person close to her. Her body was still emitting an extremely indifferent fragrance that was extremely pleasing to the nose. It caused people to be unable to resist hugging her and burying their faces in her neck. Lu Zichu did just that. He didn't know why, but he couldn't suppress his impulse just like that.
"Xia Yu..." he murmured.
Xia Yu was also stunned, the sudden hug and movement from Lu Zichu also made him forget how to push him away.
"If I say I like you. How do you feel? "
"What?" Xia Yu was startled. The direction of this matter was a little different, and this kind of Lu Zichu made her feel very unfamiliar. She didn't know how to respond, but her heart was complicated. After all, she did not want to be troubled by these things anymore in this life. Just when she did not react and her mind seemed to turn blank, Lu Zichu released her body and only smiled, "If it wasn't for you, who could have sincerely helped me?"
"Thank you, Xia Yu … My agent. "
"So that's how it is..."
Xia Yu heaved a sigh of relief. She patted Lu Zichu's shoulder and said, "I like you a lot too. Not only me, but so many of my fans like you as well … … You will be an excellent person. " Her voice was sincere and her eyes were bright.
After Lu Zichu saw her naivety, he only wanted to let out a bitter laugh. What she said about liking, and what he said about liking, had two entirely different meanings. If he said that he was really impulsive at that moment and said something he shouldn't have said, but didn't want to make things difficult for her, he could only hastily cover it up.
She would probably never understand such a dilemma.
Lu Zichu's eyes showed indifference, but... However, Xia Yu did not see it, and she did not understand why Lu Zichu was wavering either.
"I should go!" Lu Zichu hurriedly said, then put on his hat again, then walked out. Xia Yu watched him leave from the door.
… ….
The next day.
Before Xia Yu even woke up, she was woken up by a knock on the door. When she went out to open the door, she saw someone standing outside and almost shouted Jung Ma out. She was the manager of the Gong Jia, and was in charge of all sorts of daily businesses. She was already over forty years old, but she was not married yet, and was a strong woman. When Xia Yu got married, Jung Ma taught her a lot of things, including etiquette.
"Rong …" Xia Yu forcefully swallowed his words, turned back and asked: "You are …?"
"Hello, Miss Xia. I am the manager of the Gong Jia. My surname is Rong and if you can call me Jung Ma, that is fine too. Everyone else calls me that."
"Oh …" Jung Ma... " Xia Yu nodded, but she did not know what Jung Ma was doing here. After all, she had not come out to live alone in her previous life, nor did anyone look for her. What can I do for you? "
"Old Mr. Miyake invites you over for a meal." Jung Ma immediately said.
Gong Jia's regular meal...
After Xia Yu heard this, she almost choked on her saliva. She coughed a few times. Why did her grandpa suddenly call her over for dinner? Could it be that he wanted her to meet Gong Qin? Xia Yu's face paled. This kind of transformation was very interesting.
Jung Ma, on the other hand, was very calm. Seeing the change in expression on Xia Yu's face, she had all kinds of expressions, but there was no surprise, which made her very surprised. Being able to eat a meal in Gong Jia was definitely a great opportunity. Some people couldn't even try to cling onto the power of Gong Jia, but the young miss in front of them was definitely a unique person.
