Su Jiu suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She had never expected Xia Yi to do this.
If it were any other time, she could have tactfully refused. But now, the little villain was here, and she could not be tactful, even if she wanted to!
Su Jiu could almost feel the dark eyes on her back. She dryly laughed. “Sorry, I don’t go out for supper. I’ll get fat.”
Xia Yi looked down at her and smiled indifferently. “How can that be? You’re so thin. You won’t get fat if you eat it once in a while. I heard that this milk tea is especially famous. It’s well-known on the internet. I’ve tried it before, and I think it’s really good. Are you sure you don’t want to try it? If that’s the case, wouldn’t you be letting me down?”
Su Jiu was speechless.
!!
I didn’t even ask you to buy it. How will I be letting you down?
Is agreeing the only way to live up to his expectations?
She was a little speechless at Xia Yi, but because they were currently working together, she could only bite the bullet. She said, “I really don’t want it. If I drink milk tea at night, my face will swell tomorrow. That way, I won’t look good on camera.”
“You really don’t want it?”
“No, thank you! I’ll go with you another day,” Su Jiu said politely.
Seeing that her attitude was firm, Xia Yi could not force her anymore. He could only say, “Alright, then I’ll drink it. If my face swells tomorrow morning, will you be responsible?”
Su Jiu was speechless.
What has that got to do with me?
How confusing.
But… why do I have the feeling that he’s looking for something to talk about and is determined to implicate me in some way?
She said decisively, “This has nothing to do with me. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for buying it. As a celebrity, you have to manage your image well. If you have to walk around, at least keep your mouth shut, understand?”
Seeing her serious expression, Xia Yi smiled again. “Okay, I understand. I’ll give it to my assistant. By the way, if you don’t eat supper, you don’t plan to sleep yet, right? Why don’t we rehearse our lines for tomorrow?
“I’ve been memorizing lines by myself. It’s very hard for me to get the mood right. I can’t seem to keep track of it. Maybe if I had you with me, I’d feel something, like I did during the day when we were shooting.”
Su Jiu immediately felt awkward and embarrassedly said, “But I need to get ready for bed. After filming for so long today, I’m already tired. I don’t want to have to work late at night.”
Xia Yi knew that Su Jiu was rejecting him again and had already realized that she seemed to be deliberately keeping a distance from him. Perhaps, it was because she had a boyfriend. He could understand that.
But just because she had a boyfriend, it didn’t mean she couldn’t have a normal relationship with her co-worker. Surely, her boyfriend wouldn’t be so petty?
Xia Yi felt a little helpless. “Okay then. Rest early. I won’t disturb you anymore. Shall we rehearse our lines tomorrow?”
Su Jiu nodded. “Sure. You should rest early too.”
She still looked polite and distant, but Xia Yi smiled again. “Good night.”
His voice was low and pleasant. When he said the word, it had to be said that he was quite soulful, in a slightly sultry sort of way. Many of his fans would edit certain expressions or say things about him that they were fascinated by.
However, after seeing how charming Rong Si’s voice was, Su Jiu was no longer interested in Xia Yi. The young actor was standing in front of her and only said goodnight to her, a treatment that many of his fans could not ask for. Yet she felt nothing.
Su Jiu did not say good night to him. That would be too much. She only nodded.
