Sister Shang chuckled, "If you want to check out a handso guy, there’s no need for excuses. Besides, I have to tell you, he’s quite a bit younger than you are."
Guli Nazha shook her head slightly, "Sis, you’re overthinking it."
Sister Shang continued to tease, "I think you’re the one overthinking it. Don’t think I didn’t notice; earlier, your eyes were practically glued to his face. It’s been half a year since your last breakup, is spring in your heart stirring again?"
"Slander! Weren’t you all staring at him just like ?"
"We were looking appreciatively, right?"
"Right, right~"
"Geez, you guys can appreciate, but I can’t?"
Amidst the laughter, they arrived at room 1123. Guli Nazha was about to twist the doorknob, but Sister Shang stopped her and glared, "What’s the rush?"
Then, she knocked on the door twice, and it opened from inside. Li Peifeng stood at the door, gesturing with a "please" motion, "Go ahead."
Guli Nazha thanked him, as if she had forgotten that this dressing room was originally hers, and Li Peifeng was just borrowing it.
"You guys help her change clothes."
Guli Nazha and two assistants filed in, but Sister Shang stood at the door, gave an instruction, then closed it and looked at Li Peifeng, "Mr. Li, I’d like to have a quick chat with you, if that’s alright?"
Li Peifeng was a bit surprised, but nodded, "Sure."
Sister Shang naturally wanted to talk about turning Li into a celeb, painting a picture of a beautiful future and offering many opportunities. However, Li Peifeng had no such intentions and declined several tis, clearly stating his lack of interest. Seeing his firm attitude, Sister Shang didn’t insist.
"Creak~"
After their chat, the door was opened by Zhao Jia. Guli Nazha, now in casual clothing, sat at the dressing mirror while another assistant helped her remove her makeup.
"Writer Li, Sister Shang, Nazha wants you both to co in and sit."
Li Peifeng had planned to leave and find sowhere cooler, but was curious upon hearing this and decided to enter the room.
Why are they looking for ? Am I that charming? Could it be that Guli Nazha also wants to pursue like Aileen and Lily did...
Li Peifeng wasn’t so thick-skinned as to believe that the glamorous superstar would want to sleep with him just after one eting, but if they t two or three tis, he wasn’t so sure.
After all, familiarity breeds fondness, and the entertainnt industry tends to be open about relationships. Guli Nazha has a good reputation in this regard, but she’s not known for a pure and innocent image and has been rumored to have several dating histories.
If Guli Nazha were to develop feelings, it could be a bit tricky.
Xia Sheng’s words were spot on: "You should have a realistic sense of your own appearance!"
Li Peifeng was very realistic. He was currently troubled over how to manage his relationships with those four won and had no interest in romantic entanglents, even if it was with an A-list celebrity with top-tier looks among contemporary actresses!
"Writer Li, you..."
Li Peifeng sat on the couch with his back to Guli Nazha and said casually, "Just call Peifeng or by my full na. Constantly calling ’writer’ feels awkward."
"Alright then."
Guli Nazha glanced at Li Peifeng through the mirror, suddenly asking, "Peifeng, are you rehearsing to perform in a program?"
"No, I just have a speech segnt and need to familiarize myself with the stage layout in advance."
Guli Nazha made a sound of understanding and then turned to Sister Shang, suddenly and inexplicably saying, "Sister Shang, has my male companion for the red carpet been decided yet?"
Sister Shang was fiddling with her phone, seemingly replying to soone. She automatically responded to her artist’s question, "No decision yet, but the organizers suggested artists walk the red carpet alone this ti. It’s not just an award ceremony for actors and celebrities, so they can’t overshadow the main event, and authors aren’t on the sa red carpet as you."
Guli Nazha blinked, a sly look in her eyes, "Is that so? But I think it could be quite the buzz, don’t you think? It wouldn’t be like overshadowing a certain author’s spotlight, right?"
Guli Nazha and the newly popular male writer walking the red carpet together?
Her beauty combined with Li Peifeng’s stunning looks, a couple of press releases, a bit of hype, a handso man and beautiful woman making it to the top of the trending topics - what’s wrong with that?
Sister Shang, reminded by this, imdiately detected the potential for increased attention and popularity. She shifted her gaze from her phone to Guli Nazha and then to Li Peifeng, smiling as if she had pictured the scene, "Indeed, let discuss it with the event organizers."
Li Peifeng crossed his legs and said slowly, "If I may ask, have I agreed to this yet?"
