Chapter 39

"I get it, I get it now!" Little Miss Zhi Yao said very excitedly, "If the director had explained it to me like this earlier, I would have understood long ago!"

She eagerly demonstrated in front of Pei Chiyao again. Although some parts still seemed a bit odd, such as the lingering strong eagerness in Zhi Yao's eyes, it was still much better than before overall.

Pei Chiyao gave Zhi Yao some more pointers and adjusted her state a little until he felt she had it down well enough and let Zhi Yao go out first.

As the little girl left, her eyes were red. The crew members all stared at Zhi Yao.

Although everyone had some guesses about Zhi Yao and Pei Chiyao's relationship, they didn't dare to confirm it. After all, the two of them didn't show any intimacy in public.

Especially when Older Brother Sun came over just now to treat everyone to milk tea, he unintentionally revealed that Zhi Yao was a new artist that Pei Chiyao's studio wanted to sign.

Only at this moment did everyone confirm it. Zhi Yao must have nothing going on with Pei Chiyao! Look! Even the usually stern God Chiyao scolded her to tears!

She must have cried terribly, even smudging her lipstick.

In an instant, the slight resentment everyone felt towards Zhi Yao vanished and turned into empathy for a fellow worker.

After all, Zhi Yao looked 18 at most. At that young age having to suffer the cruelty of society, how could they not deeply empathize?

As long as there was no coercion, as long as she didn't get here by clinging onto Pei Chiyao's coattails, everyone's goodwill towards Zhi Yao came rushing back instantaneously.

Indeed, Older Brother Sun had a way with winning people's hearts.

Just as Zhi Yao was about to look for the director, Sister Su pulled her over. "Let's touch up your makeup first."

She really couldn't stand seeing Zhi Yao's wretched state.

The confused little girl was dragged away by Sister Su. As soon as she sat down, she was surrounded by people again. "Yao Yao, don't be scared. All newbies go through this! Wipe your tears. Do you want milk tea?"

Milk tea? !

Zhi Yao's eyes lit up in an instant. She nodded quickly, "I want, I want!"

"I have some snacks here, do you want them?"

Zhi Yao's eyes shone even brighter. "I want!"

Seeing the little girl happily eat snacks with eyes curved into crescents, everyone felt even more strongly that those rumors were too malicious.

She was clearly such a pure little girl.

Someone even spoke up to comfort her, "Yao Yao, God Chiyao was quite fierce just now, but after all he is your boss. Over time, you'll discover God Chiyao is actually very nice. Don't be afraid of him."

Sprawled on the backseat, she held up the remaining sliver of green jade pendant and said to Pei Chiyao, "Pei Chiyao, I'm going to transform back soon."

I really don't want to become a little fox again!

Being human is better. I can eat so many delicious things. Eating a few bites as a fox and I'm full already. That's no fun at all!

Recalling the afternoon tea Older Brother Sun bought, it was Zhi Yao's first time drinking the beverage called "milk tea". It was so tasty beyond belief!

She listlessly wagged her tail, her mind full of that cup of bubble milk tea. "Want milk tea so bad Pei Chiyao Pei Chiyao Pei Chiyao!"

The little girl kept nudging Pei Chiyao with her head in his embrace. "Pleeeease, I reaaally want to drink some. If I can't have milk tea tonight I won't be able to sleep. Pleeease!"

She looked at Pei Chiyao aggrievedly.

Pei Chiyao glanced down at the greedy little fox in his arms and righteously rejected Zhi Yao's request, "No."

The moment the word left his mouth, Zhi Yao instantly deflated like a popped balloon. "Why QAQ"

"You need to eat less junk food."

Just as he was about to admonish Zhi Yao, his phone suddenly rang.

Seeing it was a call from Older Brother Sun, Pei Chiyao narrowed his eyes and instantly picked up. "Hello?"

"Chiyao, Zhiyao is trending again. Check it out quickly."

Even before answering the call, Pei Chiyao had guessed it must be Zhi Yao trending again. Otherwise Older Brother Sun wouldn't call him for no reason.

However, the moment Pei Chiyao opened the hot search on Weibo, he was taken aback.

It actually...wasn't those nasty rumors?

【BubbleMilkTealover: Fam, I'm a crew member on Legend of the Fox Spirit. I hope everyone can stop maligning Zhiyao. She and Pei Chiyao simply have an innocent working relationship between boss and employee. Also, Zhiyao is truly very cute! Every day at work when I see her, my mood turns so much brighter. It's like having adopted a human pet goose. Please look at cute goose! PS: She may become everyone's pet goose after the drama broadcasts! #ZhiyaoSuchAnAdorableGooseWannaKissHerTUT#】

As soon as this Weibo post went out, it shot up the trending charts like lightning.

Especially the photos this crew member took instantly made numerous netizens exclaim that their dog food reserves have been depleted.

In the photos, Zhi Yao was wearing a costume with two furry ears on her head and a big furry tail swinging behind her.

She was eating potato chips with puffed cheeks.

There were also some silly laughing pictures of Zhi Yao. Although she looked a bit silly, she was truly so cute!
