When the Side Character Gets a System and Travels through Difference Worlds Chapter 105: Chi Mo 59

"Let tell you," Gao Jing said, "it’s hard to find soone with such broad criteria. The more specific your conditions, the easier it is to picture a person."

Chi Mo blinked her tired, sore eyes. "I don’t know. I’ve never thought about it. My social circle is very small, and I rarely et any n. My ex-husband was my first love, so I really don’t have much experience with the opposite sex."

Gao Jing noticed her fatigue. "You... didn’t sleep well last night?"

"Yeah," Chi Mo said, yawning again. "I was working on a new piece, right? So I pulled an all-nighter. I’m just now realizing I can’t do that anymore. I just can’t handle it."

"Don’t change the subject," Gao Jing said, turning her head to look at Chi Mo while the makeup artist used a curling iron on her hair. "Wait, you and your ex-husband were each other’s first love?"

"Mhm," Chi Mo said with a shrug. "I guess I was just a bad judge of character back then. Nothing much to say about it."

Gao Jing thought about it and agreed. "I just think it’s a sha for you. To et soone like that... It’s a waste that he even gets to be called your ex."

"Perhaps," Chi Mo said. She felt she could say anything in front of Gao Jing. "I only recently realized that all his talk about my ’poor health affecting fertility’ and so on was just an excuse. He was just young and not ready to settle down, and wanted to ss around for a few more years."

"That’s so scummy." Gao Jing’s eyes widened. "Good thing you divorced. You cut your losses in ti. You’ll definitely et soone better."

"Let’s not talk about him. He’s a nobody to now," Chi Mo said, not wanting to dwell on the topic. She had noticed the makeup artist’s eyes light up with interest and had no intention of discussing her private life any further. ’After all, I am, to so extent, a... public figure?’

"We’re sitting together during the event, right?" Chi Mo couldn’t help but feel another yawn coming on. "If I accidentally fall asleep, you have to wake up. I haven’t pulled an all-nighter in so long, I really can’t handle it."

"I think the seating is open, but you’re a major influencer with tens of millions of fans, while I’m just a small-ti strear..." Gao Jing deliberately drew out her words, her tone thick with teasing.

"That’s not true. Since we’re going together, we should definitely stick together," Chi Mo said seriously. "If you weren’t going, I normally wouldn’t even attend this kind of event."

Gao Jing pretended to wipe away tears. "I’m so touched..."

The two of them dissolved into laughter. Chi Mo checked the ti and asked, "Is Brother Xiang driving us over later? Will he be waiting in the car like before?"

"Yep, he’ll be resting in the car. He doesn’t like noisy places, the complete opposite of . I love a lively atmosphere." Gao Jing shrugged. "Even my son complains that I’m too rowdy sotis."

Chi Mo replied earnestly, "But that’s great! It’s so much fun being with you. It’s never dull."

She didn’t have Gao Jing’s lively, extroverted personality. She was more introverted and quiet, usually listening to others talk when she was with friends, rarely speaking up herself.

Gao Jing pinched Chi Mo’s cheek. "You just care too much about what other people think. The people who truly like you will like you no matter what. Besides, I think you have a great personality. You’re gentle and considerate."

Chi Mo’s mood instantly brightened. She was the kind of girl who was easy to please; a few nice words were all it took to make her happy. Of course, it’s also possible that Chi Mo was just an optimistic person by nature. Optimism and a quiet disposition can coexist; they aren’t contradictory.

Around four-thirty, Gao Jing’s styling session was finally over. After changing into a backless evening gown, she nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad. My workouts since last week didn’t go to waste."

Chi Mo was confused. "You’ve always been beautiful. I can’t see any difference from before."

The designer chuckled. "Her waistline is noticeably slimr. This past week of training really paid off. The black is also slimming, and it gives her a more poised and sophisticated look."

"I didn’t notice," Chi Mo said honestly. "Anyway, in my eyes, Jingjing has always been beautiful."

A delighted Gao Jing linked her arm with Chi Mo’s. "The two of us together tonight... I wonder how many people will be jealous of ."

Chi Mo flushed slightly. "I don’t think so... You’re exaggerating. Let’s hurry and go downstairs."

The mont the two won stepped out of the styling studio, Xiang Zhe got out of his car. He looked Gao Jing up and down before smiling. "You were always beautiful, but today you’re so stunning I almost didn’t recognize you."

Chi Mo tactfully sat down in the back seat. ’I used to think Xiang Zhe was gentle, but I never expected this side of him.’

Gao Jing was in an excellent mood. She gave Xiang Zhe a light push. "Alright, you can get a good look tonight when we get back. We need to get to the venue now. The evening rush hour is no joke."

Xiang Zhe imdiately composed himself. After they arrived safely at the venue, Xiang Zhe naturally waited outside while Gao Jing and Chi Mo headed in. They were relatively early, but there were always others who were even earlier.

Gao Jing was more familiar with the various strears on the platform than Chi Mo was. "The ones with more fans and higher status usually arrive later. Most of these people who ca early are smaller strears."

"There are dance strears, singing strears, talent-show strears, food strears, and so on. Of course, there are also gaming strears. I’m not familiar with that circle, but the really good gaming strears are also super impressive."

Chi Mo just smiled. This was all new to her; all she had to do was listen. ’Anyway, I’m just here to broaden my horizons today. As for what activities are planned for this gathering, I have no idea at all.’

After finding a place to sit with Gao Jing, Chi Mo watched everyone bustling about the venue. So were busy networking and taking photos together, while staff mbers were preparing various things behind the scenes.

Just as Chi Mo was observing the spectacle, she was unaware that she had also beco part of the scenery for others. She hadn’t been sitting for long when a young woman ran up to her. "You’re Ms. Chi, right? Ms. Chi, it’s like this..."

The woman rattled on for a bit, and Chi Mo got the gist: she was asking if Chi Mo would be interested in performing. The entire gathering was being live-stread, after all. If she were to perform, it could also drive traffic to her channel.

After all, Chi Mo had never perford a dance live before; everyone had only ever seen her finished, polished dance videos. As a particularly low-key dance strear, if Chi Mo were to dance on the live stream, it would also bring huge exposure to the platform. It would be a win-win situation.

Chi Mo hesitated. "Huh? But I haven’t prepared a dance."

Gao Jing gave her a light pat. "Weren’t you just planning to release a new dance? There’s no ti like the present!"

With Gao Jing egging her on, the young woman’s eyes imdiately lit up. "Ms. Chi..."

Chi Mo wasn’t opposed to dancing. "It’s just such a sudden arrangent. I didn’t bring a dance costu, and I don’t have a makeup artist..."

"Makeup artists? We have them in spades here!" the woman said, sensing an opening. "We have a lot of beauty bloggers here. Besides, Ms. Chi, you’re so beautiful, you look amazing even without makeup."

"No, that won’t do. You have to respect the stage," Chi Mo said, her expression instantly turning serious. Ever since she was sabotaged by that variety show director, Chi Mo had treated every stage performance with the utmost seriousness. She would never present an unprepared dance to an audience.
