Pei Huai brought Su Ji back to the Pei family’s house. Su Ji said that she wanted to go home and take a shower first.

There was no way to wash it in the village.

Pei Huai replied, “go to my room to wash up later.”

“Alright,” Su Ji said.

When they arrived at the Pei family’s house, Pei Huai watched as the servants prepared the bath for Su Ji and patiently told her how to adjust the water temperature. Then, Su Ji took a bath while Pei Huai went to the study.

When Su Ji came out of the shower, Pei Huai was also out. The dining table was filled with delicious food and drinks.

She arrived late and the Pei family had already eaten, so the food was all for her.

Pei Huai washed his hands, peeled a plate of prawns for her, cut up the steak, and let her eat. He still had to attend an online meeting.

He paused the meeting to serve her.

Su Ji laughed, “what are you going to do after this?”

Pei Huai’s gaze swept across the table, making sure that he had not missed out on anything.

He patted her head in relief, “I’m not done serving you.”

**

The Pei family was now used to seeing Su Ji there.

“You’re back,” Pei Xi sat beside her with a cup of coffee in her hand.

Su Ji put a piece of steak into her mouth and pulled out the chair beside her, “yes, I just came back.”

Pei Xi sat down and took a deep breath before sipping her coffee and asking her about the filming progress.

The two women chatted happily.

Pei Xi had already eaten dinner. She just wanted to chat with her for a while, but in the end, she finished an entire steak.

“It’s better than my husband’s cooking,” she said as she ate.

She said to Su Ji, “don’t be nervous when you meet our parents.”

Su Ji asked, “they are…very easy-going?”

“Em..” Pei Xi tapped her chin, “how do I put it?”

“They respect Pei Huai’s opinion, so you don’t have to worry.”

Su Yi was silent for two seconds, “sure.”

In the Shang Dynasty, two people would meet each other’s parents before they got together. This was a very important part.

Su Ji saw a lot of new messages appearing in her group chat.

Su Ji glanced at the screen and saw two things being frequently mentioned.

“Tonight’s Warmth”

“Zhou Xuefang.”

Then, she saw the headline that popped up on the Internet. “The crew of ‘Tonight’s Warmth’ had officially announced the second female guest in the 20+ age group, Zhou Xuefang.”

[ Pan Lian: “F * ck, Xuefang is really lucky this time. I still think Su Ji is more qualified.” ]

[ Meng Na: “I heard that Sonya personally recommended her.” ]

[ Tao: “She even said that she likes her the most in The Billion Stars.” ]

[ Pan Lian: “Is Sonya’s taste that bad?” ]

[ Meng Na: “Maybe Sky Entertainment helped?” ]

[ Pan Lian: “Come on, it’s not like we haven’t worked with Sky Entertainment before. Do they have this ability?” ]

[ Pan Lian: “The female star representing the 30+ age group will be a super big shot! Zhou Xuefang is winning big time without doing anything!” ]

Pei Xi glanced at her screen and smiled comfortingly, “don’t take it seriously. The crew didn’t choose you because they had no foresight.”

“I don’t mind,” Su Ji smiled. “But they said there is a big shot attending. I only care about that person.”

She only cared about the top ten richest people.

Pei Xi took a plate of dessert. “I’ve heard about this as well, but they are very tight-lipped. By the way, ‘Tonight’s Warmth’ is also aired on Lychee TV. Don’t you have a friend doing an internship there? You can ask her.”

Su Ji nodded and found her sweetheart, Dong Xiyou, on WeChat. Her profile picture was a grapefruit.

Then, the WeChat name was also “A grapefruit”.

She typed a short message and sent it over, and a reply came after ten minutes.

[ A grapefruit: “I’m sorry, I just had a meeting.” ]

[ A grapefruit: “I asked Director Liang about the guest, but he only said this…” ]

[ A grapefruit: “Don’t ask. She has a big backer behind her. ]

Dong Xiyou followed up with a crying emoji with its hands outstretched.

She felt that she had not helped much.

Su Ji simply replied with a kissing emoji.

Although Dong Xiyou didn’t know who that person was, Su Ji was now even more interested…

Later, before they left the Pei family house after dinner, Su Ji left a pack of cigarettes for Pei Xi, “help me pass this on to Pei Song.”

...

Pei Xi looked at the cigarette and then at Su Ji, “what’s this?”

Su Ji replied, “it’s a new product. Ask him to help me try it. It’s good for the body.”

Xu Ni had been smoking for four or five years, but Pei Song was definitely a hardcore smoker.

Su Ji was a perfectionist.

**

The next day, Su Ji spent half a day with the crew and half a day at Blue Whale.

There was one last thing left to do for the commercial. There would be a short rap in the commercial in the later stage. They had received a nice piece of music, and it was Ke Tou who recorded it. He wanted Su Ji, who was the spokesperson, to sing that part with the others.

It was just a short segment, so it was not difficult. Usually, one afternoon should be enough time, so Pei Xi helped Su Ji apply for a leave of absence from the crew.

It was a good plan, but the filming in the morning had been delayed, so Su Ji only arrived at Blue Whale at three in the afternoon.

Su Ji and Pei Xi saw Ke Tou outside.

“I’m sorry I’m late.”

...

“You’re finally here,” Ke Tou had just come out of the room with an anxious look on his face.

“We came as soon as we finished. Su Ji didn’t even have time to change out of her costume.” Pei Xi was swift and decisive. “Let’s go to the recording studio now. There’s still time. She has a job tomorrow and the day after, so she’s only free this afternoon.”

“But…” Ke Tou looked at Su Ji who was wearing a white t-shirt and sweatpants. He looked even more embarrassed, “there is a problem with the two male rappers…”

“Pei Xi and Su Ji looked at each other, “what problem?”

Ke Tou found it hard to speak up. After all, he was the one who selected them.

He hesitated for a long time before saying, “it’s just…emotional issues…”

**

The lounge in Blue Whale was specially made for the actors and staff to relax.

It was Su Ji’s first time there.

It was very spacious inside.

There was a large indoor basketball court that was brightly lit, and the sound of shoes rubbing against the plastic floor could be heard from time to time.

At 3 o’clock in the afternoon, there were not many people in the basketball court. The seats were empty. There were only two boys in black t-shirts playing in the court. They were playing intensely, and their t-shirts were soaked with sweat. The two of them lifted their clothes to wipe their sweat, and their big gold chains were shining.

Ke Tou pointed at the two of them, “it’s just the two of them. They arrived at 1 o’clock. When they heard that you weren’t here yet, they were so upset. After waiting for an hour, they asked me who the spokesperson was. I said ‘Su Ji’, thinking that it would be easier if they were her fans…but after hearing that they came straight to the basketball court and played until now!”

“I came to call them just now and told them that you’d be here soon. But this time, they said that they had no inspiration and couldn’t sing. I asked them when they could do it, and they said after they’re done with this…”

Pei Xi had been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and she had never seen a newcomer who would put on such a show. She lost her temper and said, “this is such a small matter. Where did you find such troublemakers?”

Ke Tou was also in a difficult position, but when Su Ji saw the face of one of the two boys, she smiled.

She knew where he found them.

The one with a height of 1.8 meters, wearing a gold chain, and a black t-shirt was…Tong Le.
