Today is May Day holiday, the school is on break. Sheng Ning, to express her gratitude, specifically asked An’an to invite classmates to her ho. Lu Dabao and Wu Youli were also on the invitation list. It’s rare for the Song and Dance Troupe to have a break and get together.
The girls at ho were very lively, chatting and laughing.
"Is this Captain Xu’s house?" A man’s voice sounded at the door.
The door was open, and everyone turned to look. It was a very handso man.
"It’s you?" Sheng Ning widened her eyes; how co it’s that pervert from last ti?
Xu Mo took a step back in fright upon seeing Sheng Ning, "I didn’t an to follow you, I... I... Vice Chairman Su sent to see Comrade Sheng Ning." Because Su Hai specifically instructed not to reveal the true identity of Rebirth, and made him swear, he dared not say a word.
"You are Xu Mo? Chief Editor of One Weekly?" Sheng Ning was almost blinded.
"Yes, I’m Xu Mo."
"..." Did she really mistake her idol for a pervert? No... no... if she rembered correctly, Xu Mo seed to like n, not won? Right! He indeed doesn’t like won; this was told to her by ng Ping himself.
It’s not a secret in the fashion circle.
Imdiately, Sheng Ning’s gaze towards Xu Mo changed, obediently, making him feel uneasy.
"I’m sorry, Mr. Xu. I’m very sorry about what happened last ti." She bowed deeply, sincerely apologizing.
Xu Mo, nervous, didn’t even know where to stand, "Last... last ti it was my fault for being too forward. I just thought you were very beautiful. If you were packaged a bit, you’d certainly amaze the world on a magazine cover. It’s my mistake, my mistake."
He didn’t want to be detained again.
"You sure have a way with words." Wu Youli chid in from behind.
"Then today, I ca..."
Sheng Ning didn’t want to reveal that she was Rebirth and gave a slight nod to Xu Mo. "There are relatives at ho. Let’s sit by the corridor’s tea table."
"Alright!"
Xu Qigang’s house was in the innermost part upstairs, so Sheng Ning bought a set of tea tables and chairs to put inside. The wicker chairs were exquisitely woven, and the tea table was also made of wicker, covered with a floral tablecloth. It was the only stylish setup in the otherwise plain Family Compound.
If Living Yama returned early, she would drag him to sit in the wicker chairs and have tea.
"Please have a seat, Chief Editor Xu." Sheng Ning offered the fruit tea she made.
"Thank you!"
The dried apples, strawberries, and apricots, steeped in hot water, released a fruity aroma mingled with a sweet taste, indeed a type of enjoynt in this early sumr season.
Xu Mo was still a bit nervous, glancing at Sheng Ning and imdiately shifting his gaze upon noticing her strange look.
Had she figured out his secret?
"I didn’t expect you were Rebirth." Xu Mo said straightforwardly. Perhaps because he had been abroad for too long, he was accustod to the directness of Westerners and wasn’t used to the roundabout way of speaking in his own country.
"I also didn’t expect you were Xu Mo, the Chief Editor of One Weekly."
Neither of them expected it; this could be considered their official introduction.
After watching Phoenix, Xu Mo admired Rebirth, not because of her brilliant writing skills but because her mindset was very forward-thinking. Especially after talking with Sheng Ning, he discovered she was clearly a conservative person, but her thoughts and ideas were particularly advanced, even more avant-garde than Westerners.
This forward-thinking mindset delighted him, occasionally inspiring bursts of creativity with a sentence or two of the viewpoints she ntioned.
