“Am I handsome?” Chen Che asked.

These words suddenly broke the silence. Lin Xi came back to her senses and looked at Chen Che.

Only then did she realize that she was in a daze, or rather, immersed in the entire song.

However, she would not agree with his narcissism.

Lin Xi took a deep breath and smiled. “Aren’t you teasing me?”

Chen Che was stunned. Tm talking about ‘Normal Friends’.”

Lin Xi held the gourd silk and did not speak.

Although the title of the song was ‘Normal Friends’, the lyrics seemed to mean that they did not want to be normal friends.

Moreover, Chen Che had said at first that this song was sung to celebrate them becoming friends. It felt like an elementary school student passing a note.

She stared at him with her big eyes, suddenly confused. “What are you looking at?”

Because Chen Che had been looking up at the sky.

“Nothing.”

A trace of uneasiness appeared on Chen Che’s face. He was a little hesitant, not knowing if he should confess to his goddess directly.

Her gaze had always been deeply infatuated with him, as if she was encouraging him to confess boldly.

But what if his actions bored the goddess?

Would he suddenly be struck by lightning and become the laughing stock of countless people?

“Yes.” Lin Xi fiddled with the grass. After thinking for a long time, she finally said, “When you’re not talking, you’re really close to my idol.”

When Chen Che heard this, he was shocked. He looked at Lin Xi and could not help but ask, “Just… close?”

“Just a little bit more.” Lin Xi made a small distance with her thumb and index finger and revealed a naughty smile.

Chen Che was immediately speechless. He felt both emotional and helpless.

He knew very well that although he was so close to the goddess, he was still so far away.

He sighed weakly, deeply understanding that one had to be content.

Lin Xi wanted to say something else, but she suddenly rubbed her shoulder and shivered.

Chen Che followed her gaze and realized that her body was trembling slightly. His heart skipped a beat and he immediately took off his coat and draped it over Lin Xi.

“Thank you,” Lin Xi said softly.

Chen Che stood up and looked at Lin Xi warmly. “I really want to thank you, but don’t give me another chance to wear clothes and wait for warm men to act. I’ve done this more than once or twice. What if these friendships deteriorate one day? At that time, we won’t be able to maintain our friendship.”

Lin Xi held his arm tightly and stood up. She asked, “Do you care more about friends than other relationships?”

Chen Che nodded gently and replied, “Friends can be friends for the rest of their lives, but if they’re not related by blood, there are very few other relationships that can last until the end.”

Lin Xi frowned. “Aren’t your thoughts too absolute? There are still many happy examples. Did you come to this conclusion based on your investigation?”

Chen Che nodded. “Then do I have a secondary level of freedom?”

“Of course there is.”

The two of them continued forward. Their conversation was accompanied by distant footsteps, as if they had fallen into the darkness by the Erhai with the setting sun.

“You feel like we’re back on campus twenty years ago, playing guitar, singing, and chasing girls.”

“I wasn’t sure at that time. Aren’t girls singing while playing the guitar now?”

Tm not sure. I’ve never chased a girl.’

“Really? Then let’s…”

“What are we doing?”

“We’ll each find someone to chase or be chased. Then, we’ll exchange our insights as normal friends. What do you think?”

“I’d like that.”

“Then it’s settled… Wait, why are you so violent? That guitar was just bought. Don’t break it.”

“What day is it today?”

They were in the hotel room.

Not long after, Lin Xi returned to apply medicine for Chen Che.

Chen Che expressed that there was no need. He was almost fully healed.

Lin Xi insisted on letting him recover completely. If he recovered, she could feel at ease.

Just as Chen Che was about to refuse again, his phone rang.

An unknown number sent a birthday blessing message, but it was not the number of the woman from before.

Chen Che frowned. After thinking for a moment, he called, but the other party’s phone was already switched off.

Chen Che felt something and knew that this person was her, even though he did not know her true identity.

She changed her phone number, but it didn’t seem to change anything.

Chen Che asked, “What day is it today?”

Lin Xi took out a medicine bottle and replied, “March 3rd. Why?”

Chen Che wanted to ask something else, but he no longer knew when he was lying on the bed.

However, it didn’t matter. After all, her assistant, Wang Yong, had followed them in. They didn’t have to deliberately avoid it.

“Is it the fifth of February?”

Chen Che took off his shirt, lay down, and asked again.

Lin Xi looked at Wang Yong blankly.

“I don’t know… Just check.” Wang Yong took out his phone.

“Is it your birthday?” Lin Xi asked casually.

She suddenly looked down at Chen Che. “By the way, Luo Heng said it when he was doing the show in April. Yours must have been earlier than his. It should be February and March, right?”

Before Chen Che could speak, the doorbell rang.

Lin Xi put down her phone and went to open the door. She realized that it was Director Zhang Enyi.

Chen Che leaned forward and asked, “Is it the director?”

“Please come in.” Lin Xi turned her body and gestured politely.

The director walked in and saw this scene. He also understood.

“Are you feeling better?”

The director sat by the bed and asked Chen Che, who was lying there half-naked with the third episode’s outline beside him.

Beside her was Wang Yong, Lin Xi’s new assistant.

After they greeted the director, they fell silent. He was much more stable than Lin Xi’s previous manager, Brother Liu.

The director knew very well that Lin Xi was here to apply medicine for him. This was not the first time. There was no need to be too surprised.

“It’s almost done. It wasn’t that serious in the beginning anyway.”

Chen Che spoke, but he did not stand up.

Lin Xi also sat back down and took the ointment to help him apply the ointment and rub his back.

“It’s not serious?” Zhang Enyi gestured. “Back then, your back was bleeding and your clothes were wet.”

“When Little Xi followed them, she cried.”

Zhang Enyi glanced at Lin Xi and spoke.

Lin Xi laughed and didn’t say anything.

Chen Che nodded. “1 remember that your eyes were red at that time. You must have cried, right?”

He turned back to look at Lin Xi and asked curiously, “Is it because of heartache, sadness, and self-blame that you’re so agitated that you wish you could get hurt too?”

Zhang Enyi laughed.

Lin Xi stared at Chen Che for a while before saying, “To be honest, 1 was mainly frightened. I’ve never seen anyone bleed so much before.”

She thought back and added, “Remember that person kept shouting ‘pain’…”

“Director, let’s get down to business.”

Chen Che immediately interrupted and gestured to Zhang Enyi with a serious expression.

Lin Xi pursed her lips. “Tsk

Zhang Enyi adjusted his glasses and smiled..
