"Goodbye, brother~" After sending Bi Xiaoyuan to school and watching him wave at her, Bi Xia planted a kiss on his cheek and patted his little head. Bi Xiaoyuan chuckled and hopped his way into the school.
With a smile on her lips, Bi Xia was about to head to school when her phone rang. She raised an eyebrow at the caller ID and answered with a laugh, "Hello."
"Little Jiu’er!!!!"
Xu Renfei’s jubilant voice ca from the other end of the line. Bi Xia smiled as she started the car and drove toward the school, her tone calm despite the smile in her eyes, "Who is this?"
Xu Renfei: "It’s ! Your Brother Qi!"
"Oh," Bi Xia replied nonchalantly, "I think you have the wrong number."
Just as she was about to hang up, Xu Renfei’s sudden outburst stopped her, "Hey! Bi Xiaojiu, you heartless little thing! It’s your Seventh Brother, alright?"
Bi Xia’s soft laughter drifted through the phone, a clear and gentle sound. Xu Renfei was montarily stunned, then he heard her leisurely reply, "Oh, it’s Fei. Long ti no see."
Xu Renfei: ...
He rolled his eyes in resignation and grumbled, "I’m sorry, okay? I shouldn’t have lied to you last ti... I’ve been wanting to apologize, but I’ve been busy filming a show, and they took my phone. Today they finally gave it back to ."
So that was it.
Bi Xia generously said, "It’s no big deal. We’re like family, aren’t we?"
Xu Renfei’s eyes lit up, "I knew our Little Jiu’er wouldn’t stay mad at ..."
"After all, I made back double the money you swindled from last ti, so it’s all good."
The word ’mad’ was stuck in Xu Renfei’s throat. He felt like crying but had no tears; it turned out all that emotion just now was fake!
Bi Xia chuckled softly, "So, what’s the real reason you called?"
"Well... huh?" The words of comfort he had prepared got stuck in his throat. Xu Renfei looked dumbfounded, "How did you know?"
Figures.
Based on Bi Xia’s understanding of Xu Renfei, if he wanted to hang out, he’d definitely use WeChat because texting costs money; if he needed sothing, he’d also use WeChat because calling costs money. If he absolutely had to make a call, it would be resolved within a minute; otherwise, they’d et in person.
But now, not only did he call her, most importantly, she checked the call duration—ten minutes—sothing inconceivable in the past.
So, Bi Xia slowly explained this to Xu Renfei. Far from feeling embarrassed, Xu Renfei scratched his head proudly, "I’m a savings expert, after all. Oh, and we can talk longer now because the show reimburses phone calls~"
Bi Xia sighed helplessly. This fool, doesn’t he know that during show recordings, even when you go to the bathroom, if there’s anything funny or gossipy, it’ll get aired?
Shaking her head, she saw the school approaching and parked by the roadside instead of driving in. "So, what’s up?"
It was then that Xu Renfei rembered the main point, "It’s like this. My reality show is down to the last two episodes. This episode requires to find a partner, and we have to find our own. So, you’re the first person I thought of~"
Bi Xia: ...
"Are you stupid, Xu Renfei? I’m not a celebrity, what would I do there?" Bi Xia said. "Besides, the candidates are probably already arranged by your company, right?"
Xu Renfei was silent for a mont, "I... don’t have any close friends."
Bi Xia paused and then heard his voice bubble up again cheerfully, as if the previous somberness was never there, "Just kidding! My good friends are all busy, and I don’t like the person they arranged for . So... Little Jiu’er, please help out. With you and your brother as my partners, we’ll totally dominate."
Taking a deep breath, Bi Xia glanced outside at the teenagers walking towards the school. Recalling Xu Renfei’s stories from the past, she relented. After all, between brothers, you might scold each other, but if anyone else tried to ss with him, you’d be the first to step in!
Even if Bi Xia had no experience with the entertainnt industry, she could sense that Xu Renfei wasn’t struggling to find soone, but... was being targeted.
Frowning, as the Seventh Young Master of Beijing, how could anyone dare target him? Bi Xia narrowed her eyes, "Alright, tell the ti."
If anyone dared to bully her Brother Qi, they must be thinking she had no allies in Beijing!
