The romantic atmosphere was broken, and Lou Yuming's face darkened slightly. He pinned Song Xi down and nibbled her neck. "I'm not picking up."
Song Xi patted his back and pushed him. "It might be work!"
"Is work more important than this?"
Song Xi said without hesitation, "Of course!"
He tilted his head up, his gaze fixed on her.
"Fine." After a moment, he got off her decisively and walked straight ahead.
Bang!
The door slammed shut with a deafening sound.
Song Xi: "..."
What a temper.
The call was from Dai Ze.
Her performance as a supporting guest last time had been a success, and a brand had proactively contacted them, wanting her to shoot a commercial.
Dai Ze had taken it for her and told her to be there at the beginning of next month, without being late.
Song Xi was overjoyed. "Thank you, Brother Ze!"
During this time, the episode featuring the public performance was broadcast.
Due to her unexpectedly strong performance and her kind, gentle personality, Song Xi gained fifty thousand followers in one night.
Mi Xuan even reposted her stage performance, expressing her admiration and liking for Song Xi without reservation.
The hashtag "Next Idol" occupied the trending searches, and netizens' discussions about the show became increasingly intense.
The most talked-about topic was the "Xia Yu Tian" CP between Tao Qingyu and Ye Tian.
The "fatherly spoiling" and the "unreasonable younger one," the entire internet was: kswlkswl!
What was commendable was that the fans kept their interactions within their own circles, and neither of the artists' agencies seemed to object to such marketing.
By the day of the finals, CP fans and individual fans joined forces, pushing both Tao Qingyu and Ye Tian into the top five. The entire venue erupted, and the bullet comments were filled with "Ahhhhhhhh."
Song Xi also joined in the fun and commented.
The camera suddenly panned to Qin Feng, whose professional smile seemed on the verge of collapsing.
Song Xi giggled, shrinking back on the sofa.
At that moment, the door opened.
Lou Yuming brushed the snowflakes off his shoulders and looked up. The woman was wearing a fluffy pajama set, pink and soft like a rabbit.
"You're back. Are you hungry?"
She didn't look back, her eyes glued to the iPad. "Come quickly, watch the finals today."
Lou Yuming pinched the bridge of his nose. He had really found a troublemaker.
Helplessly, he took off his coat himself and hung it on the hanger.
He rolled up his sleeves as he walked over.
Having just returned from outside, the man carried a hint of coldness all over him.
Song Xi, who was afraid of the cold, shriveled back, wrapped in a blanket.
?
Lou Yuming narrowed his eyes at her. "What do you mean by that?"
Song Xi said, "...Cold."
Lou Yuming pursed his thin lips into a straight line and then turned up the indoor temperature.
Now that it was warm, Song Xi cozily snuggled up to him. "Have you eaten?"
"No."
"Oh."
She nodded, not continuing the conversation.
"?"
Sensing the intense gaze on his left side, Song Xi chuckled sheepishly. "I'll cook for you after I finish watching."
Lou Yuming glanced at the iPad with no interest and intended to go wash up. Unexpectedly, she suddenly grabbed his clothes.
"Don't you want to know if Qin Feng made it into the group?"
"Watch it with me!" Seeing his indifference, she began to act spoiled.
She was quite adept at acting spoiled lately. Lou Yuming lowered his eyes to look at her. Her small hands tugged lightly at the corner of his shirt, her voice soft and sweet. "Let's watch together."
He was quite pleased.
Lou Yuming sat back down, crossed his legs, and casually rested his hand behind her, his posture relaxed.
The host was very good at building suspense, and now only the first and last places had not been announced.
Song Xi's small mouth wouldn't stop chattering; she was a little excited today.
"There are only two spots left. Lu Yu'an has always been a dominant force; he'll definitely be the center. Among the remaining few, Xu Jing is the rapper. If Ye Tian and Tao Qingyu's CP hadn't exploded, Qin Feng might have had a tiny bit of hope, but now..."
"Did you see his expression just now? It was hilarious, hahaha..."
So happy?
As the music swelled with suspense, the host loudly announced the contestants' names.
"Let's congratulate, Lu Yu'an! Xu Jing!"
"Lu Yu'an debuts as the center, using his hard-earned sweat..."
"I guessed right!"
Song Xi was even more excited than the fans on the live broadcast.
She proudly said to Lou Yuming, "See? I guessed right!"
Lou Yuming nodded faintly, as if he had already expected the outcome.
After all, he had already spoken to the production team, ensuring Qin Feng would not be in the group.
Now that Song Xi was happy, she said, "I'll go make you noodles!"
Lou Yuming pulled her waist into a hug, lifting her onto his lap.
"Noodles again?"
"Then what do you want to eat?"
His gaze suddenly became intense, and he lowered his head to kiss her lips. "Of course, I want to eat you."
