Congee spewed out of Yan Suâs mouth.Realizing that was very impolite, she hurriedly wiped the table with a tissue and said, âIâm sorry, itâs just so funny.â
âFunny?â Mo Liuxi lowered his voice with discontent. âDo you think Iâm joking?â
âNo. I was just picturing you with a bald head.â Yan Su tried very hard to keep herself from laughing out loud. âMaybe youâll look like Tang Sanzang.â
Mo Liuxiâs mouth corners twitched slightly. Was that even the point?
âSo, are you saying that youâre not going to marry me?â he asked as he stood up. He walked to her side. He put one hand on the back of her hair and the other on the table. He narrowed his eyes and moved closer to her. âWho do you want to marry? Shi Xiang?â
He breathed into her face. His face was handsome it made her heart race. However, he also looked dangerous. She felt it a little hard to breathe.
âEh... Isnât it too early for us to talk about marriage?â she asked. âLiuxi, youâre only 20. You havenât even reached the legal age of marriage.â
âYou brought up this topic, didnât you?â Mo Liuxi knocked on the table. âIs it because Iâm younger than you? Itâs alright. Weâll get married when I get to the legal age of marriage. Thatâll be the year after next. If you canât wait that long, weâll get married abroad. I can marry legally in some countries.â
âI was just casually talking. Sit down,â Yan Su said.
She dragged him into the chair next to her and put some bread into his mouth to stop him from talking. She shouldnât have asked. She needed to take a pregnancy test first.
For a female star, buying a pregnancy test could be a difficult thing. Thankfully, many places provided home delivery services. They would wrap the products up so people couldnât see what had been purchased.
Thursday, the tests were delivered to Yan Suâs flat. She quickly went into the bathroom to take a test. Seeing that single bar on the stick, she sighed with relief. Thankfully, she was not pregnant. She was probably just overworked, which was why her period was late.
She suddenly got a call from Xiang Wan. âYouâre going to Xia City TV Station at Christmas.â
Yan Su replied, âHave you talked to Chi Shengxuâs manager?â
âLet me finish. Youâre not performing with Chi Shengxu. Youâll be doing the show with Director Liâs crew,â Xiang Wan said.
Yan Su was momentarily speechless. âArenât they going to start shooting the film the 26th? Why are they still going on TV? Besides, itâs pointless for them to do the advertising before the film is done, isnât it?â
Xiang Wan sighed and said, âI know. The film crew talked to me this morning. I couldnât say no. Director Li said the other actors and actresses all have full schedules, so he invited you and the few who had time. Iâve thought about it. Itâll be fine. Youâll be on the show anyway. Whom youâre doing it with doesnât really matter. You need to help those people with singing, though. I heard that none of them are good at singing.â
Yan Su remained silent. She hoped that the one who lived next door wouldnât be on the show. To be honest, she was not capable of bettering his terrible singing.
...
Mo Liuxi returned from the hospital at 6 p.m. Yan Su quickly went over to talk to him.
âDid you tell Director Li to bring his crew to the Christmas show?â she asked.
Mo Liuxi was watering the plants on his balcony. He raised his eyebrows and lazily said, âYeah, I told Director Li that advertising-in-advance is necessary.â
âYou pulled strings.â Yan Su clenched her teeth and put a hand on her forehead. He had won. âArenât you aware of how badly you sing? Who gave you the courage to sing on TV and torture the audience? Canât the Christmas Show bring them some real fun?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
