Chapter 3
The interview was conducted by a media outlet that had a long-standing partnership with Chenxing Entertainment. The interview questions had been disclosed in advance, so all that was needed was to prepare foolproof answers.
However, since the interview was live, there would inevitably be interaction with the audience, and a few questions would be selected from the comments to be asked. Therefore, Xia Linxia was repeatedly instructed after returning home to memorize Ji Fengxue's life and hobbies thoroughly, so as not to falter at a crucial moment.
But Xia Linxia was not one to obediently follow instructions. She merely flipped through the material twice before going to bed. As a result, she suffered from insomnia.
In a half-awake, half-dreaming state, she suddenly sat up and murmured, "Tsk, what was her favorite movie again?"
She turned on the desk lamp and checked her phone. It was already three in the morning. There was a new friend request on WeChat from Ji Fengxue, sent a little after one in the morning. Her profile picture was a tiny snowflake, and her WeChat name was even simpler, just a period.
She rubbed her eyes, remembering that one of the interview questions was about her WeChat nickname for the other person. She had no choice but to accept the request.
【Xia Linxia】: Hello, smiling.jpg
【Ji Fengxue】: Still awake?
【Xia Linxia】: I'm here to provide end-of-life care for the elderly who stay up late, smiling.jpg
【Ji Fengxue】: ...
【Ji Fengxue】: Go to sleep early, see you tomorrow.
Ji Fengxue lay in bed, turned off the soft music from her Bluetooth speaker, and finally felt a hint of sleepiness. Just as she turned off the desk lamp and prepared to sleep, her phone vibrated again.
【Xia Linxia】: Sharing an article with you [To live a long life, you must do these three things, the first is to refuse to stay up late, and the third is actually... ]
【Xia Linxia】: Sharing an article with you [According to experts, every minute you sleep less, you are one step closer to death]
"Xia Linxia" retracted a message.
【Xia Linxia】: Sharing an article with you [A coding worker died suddenly from staying up late, his hair fell out before he died, it was a terrible sight!]
Ji Fengxue: "..."
Haha.
A faint laugh suddenly echoed in the quiet room, then quickly disappeared. Ji Fengxue turned on the desk lamp and sat up again, her sleepiness completely gone. She was going to be sleepless again.
She stared at Xia Linxia's chat window and sighed: You bad girl.
The next day, Xiang Huaimeng went to pick up Xia Linxia. Seeing the faint dark circles under her eyes, she scolded, "Xia Linxia! Did you play games again last night!"
"No," Xia Linxia yawned. Seeing that she was about to start her usual nagging, she kicked the door shut. "Don't talk, I'm so angry."
"Angry about what?" Xiang Huaimeng asked. This young lady always had a temper in the morning, but strangely, she was more agreeable when she was angry, a true contradiction.
As expected, Xia Linxia angrily confessed, "I forgot what movies Ji Fengxue likes to watch! And I forgot what fruits she likes! My god, why does she have so many things she likes? Wouldn't it be better to be a desireless old nun!"
Xiang Huaimeng thought to herself that it was fortunate no one else was around. She coaxed, "Don't you think about the things you like, which are three times hers! The data file is much thicker."
Xia Linxia blinked slowly, then suddenly froze. "That seems to be the case." She was happy.
The thought that Ji Fengxue still had to memorize her lengthy information made her feel that the weather today was exceptionally good. She planned to quiz Ji Fengxue later, humming.
Upon arriving at the company, the makeup artist reapplied her makeup. She asked, "Where is Ji Fengxue? Hasn't she arrived yet?"
"She's changing clothes next door and will be here soon," the makeup artist said.
Xia Linxia's already upright posture became even straighter. "Quick, give me a makeup that will overshadow everyone, the kind that makes her want to kneel and call me daddy!"
Makeup artist: ... Are you making things difficult for me or for yourself?
After the makeup was finished, Xia Linxia's eyes suddenly turned fierce, staring at the makeup artist. "This is makeup that overshadows everyone?!"
Xiang Huaimeng couldn't help but laugh. "It's okay, it's great. So youthful, invincible, pretty, and cute!"
In the mirror, as usual, she was wearing a high-waisted tight-fitting top. A pair of wide-leg pants, though hiding her skin tone, made her legs appear even longer. She wore a silk jacket over it, with patterns resembling a dragon robe, extremely ostentatious, but her hair was tied in a Nezha bun.
Arrogant and cute.
Ahhhhh! Xia Linxia was going crazy. These two little buns were too cute. How was she supposed to regain the upper hand? She shouldn't have dozed off earlier!
"Take it off, start over."
"This..." The makeup artist was reluctant.
Xia Linxia narrowed her eyes.
The makeup artist lowered her head aggrievedly. "Okay."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Fu Xiaoxuan peeked inside, and upon seeing Xia Linxia, she was startled and said awkwardly, "Oh, it's you. Where's Sister Xue?"
Xia Linxia looked down at her nails and didn't reply.
The makeup artist, seeing her arrogant attitude, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Although these two were trainees in the same company and debuted in the same group, their relationship had never been good. Fu Xiaoxuan clearly preferred their former group leader, and thus was at odds with Xia Linxia. After the group disbanded, Xia Linxia had the best development among the five members, and Fu Xiaoxuan had likely endured her fair share of disdain.
Thinking of this, the makeup artist took the initiative to ease the awkward atmosphere and replied, "Teacher Ji is changing clothes."
"Okay, thank you." Fu Xiaoxuan smiled sweetly at the makeup artist and then left.
The makeup artist smiled, then turned back and was stunned. Xia Linxia was staring intently at her, her peach-blossom eyes unreadable. "Do you all like this type?"
Her heart skipped a beat. It seemed she had angered this young lady. She smiled awkwardly. "No, we like you too. If you just toned it down a tiny bit, you'd have a lot fewer anti-fans. By the way, what hairstyle do you want? Anything is fine."
"No need," Xia Linxia said lightly and walked out, leaving behind a sentence. "This is just who I am. If you don't like it, so be it."
Xiang Huaimeng didn't scold Xia Linxia this time. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Where are you going?"
"The dressing room."
"You're not going to eavesdrop, are you?"
"Hell no, I'm going to listen openly!" Xia Linxia gritted her teeth. "Ji Fengxue is my woman now. I have an obligation to keep her away from every..." She narrowed her eyes slightly and smiled mischievously, "...white lotus."
Xiang Huaimeng: "..."
As she reached the door of the styling room, she heard Fu Xiaoxuan's saccharine words from inside: "Sister Xue, do you really like Linxia? You know how much she used to bully people, making Yuran cry secretly several times... She doesn't deserve someone as good as you."
Xia Linxia took a deep breath, her fists slowly clenching. She felt a surge of righteousness within her and raised her hand to smash the door. Suddenly, she heard Ji Fengxue's voice: "It's me who doesn't deserve her."
Fu Xiaoxuan: "How could that be? We all know how good you are, you're especially gentle and considerate, just like Yuran..."
"Alright, did you call me just to say these things?" Ji Fengxue interrupted her indifferently. "I'm going for the interview. If there's nothing else, let's end it here."
Fu Xiaoxuan still wanted to say something, but suddenly the door was opened, and a sarcastic voice rang out from the doorway: "Fu Xiaoxuan, you really are a persistent ghost. Come out here. If I don't smash your head crooked today, I'll jump off from here."
Fu Xiaoxuan frowned, lowered her head as if about to cry, and hid behind Ji Fengxue, appearing fragile.
This level of acting is... too low, Xia Linxia thought. She had seen more sophisticated white lotuses. How dare she try such a petty trick in front of her?
"Fu Xiaoxuan, I asked you to come over, did you hear me? Don't force me to do it myself." She emphasized her tone, feeling that the righteousness within her was about to be fully charged.
As she spoke, Ji Fengxue stepped forward and stood in front of her. Just as she opened her mouth to speak, she suddenly heard an untimely sound.
"Pfft—"
Ji Fengxue: "..."
Xiang Huaimeng: "..."
Xia Linxia: "..."
The righteousness couldn't be controlled and was released!
Fu Xiaoxuan stood at a distance, not hearing the sound clearly. She didn't understand why everyone's expressions had changed and asked subconsciously, "You guys..."
"Ahaha, it's so hot today," Xia Linxia said with a chuckle, hooking her arm around Ji Fengxue's neck and pulling her out. "Baby, let's go, we're going for the interview." After walking a few steps, she whispered threateningly, "Don't you dare tell anyone, understand? Otherwise, I'll throw you off from here."
Ji Fengxue nodded.
Xia Linxia gave her another worried glance, exasperated. "Don't you dare smile! If you smile again, I'll pull out your teeth!"
Ji Fengxue desperately tried to suppress the upward curve of her lips.
Fu Xiaoxuan, following behind, ran to the doorway and watched their intimate backs as they walked arm in arm. Her expression was not good. She took out her phone, intending to make a call, when suddenly her brow furrowed.
Hmm? What's that smell?
The interview room was set up with live broadcast equipment. The two walked in arm in arm. The company staff looked at them and thought, is this still Xia Linxia? Regarding their relationship, even people within the same company found it hard to believe.
As everyone knew, Xia Linxia's relationship with the former group's leader, Xiao Yuran, was very strained. And Xiao Yuran and Ji Fengxue were good friends. Therefore, Xia Linxia and Ji Fengxue had almost no interaction before. Even though they had been in the same company for half a year, they had never even given each other a smile.
Who would have thought that they were secretly dating!
"Sit," Xia Linxia said casually as she sat on the sofa, patting the empty seat next to her. One hand was placed behind Ji Fengxue, secretly making a gesture. If Ji Fengxue embarrassed her, she would pinch her!
Sitting opposite them was the host of the live broadcast platform. They greeted each other.
The live broadcast began, and the number of viewers had already exceeded ten million. Xia Linxia alone had over fifty million Weibo followers. Although Ji Fengxue had been low-key with few works in the past two years, her fan base was still substantial.
Moreover, this was their first live interview after announcing their relationship. All their fans and onlookers were extremely curious!
[First, a co-star check-in! Xia Xia baby's beauty is still online today! Fairy Ji is truly ethereal!]
[I still can't believe they're actually dating? How did they get together? Why!]
[Equally curious, ahhhh I noticed their couple earrings!]
[Wuwuwu, the two of them look so good together. Hurry and bring me my binoculars to wash my eyes!]
After greeting the audience, the two quickly got down to business without much small talk.
The host, holding the pre-determined questions, asked, "Netizens are very curious, when did you confirm your relationship?"
Xia Linxia spoke first, "About half a year ago. After she joined the company, she found out I was quite beautiful and started pursuing me. I thought, she's quite acceptable, so let's just settle for it."
Xiang Huaimeng, standing beside her, widened her eyes. The plan clearly stated that they fell in love at first sight and deepened their feelings through long-term interaction!
[Hahaha, quite acceptable? You say our Fairy Ji is quite acceptable?]
[Miss, I can't imagine it at all!]
[Just based on Xia Linxia's mouth and dismissive expression, I seriously suspect this marriage!]
[Is it fake? There's no love in their eyes at all, it looks a bit awkward.]
The two agents monitoring from the back were anxious. Chen Nian gave her artist a meaningful look.
Ji Fengxue glanced at Xia Linxia and smiled charmingly, like a beautiful flower blooming on a frozen snow mountain, stunning the audience. But in Xia Linxia's eyes, it was comparable to a sudden avalanche.
"Yes, the day I joined the company, I saw this little girl. She was as fiery as the scorching sun, and she struck me instantly. After that, I actively pursued her for a while. Thank you for being willing to look back at me."
Xia Linxia's hand trembled, and she accidentally touched her back. "..."
Damn, is this the acting skill of a film empress?
Damn, it's amazing.jpg
[Ahhhhh! Fairy Ji's gaze is so gentle! The love-at-first-sight scenario is too sweet!]
[Wow, Fairy Ji is so good at praising people. Our Xia Xia baby is indeed a girl like the scorching sun!]
[We're shipping it, thank you!]
[Are you all brainless fans blindly shipping? Why do I feel like Xia Linxia doesn't like Ji Fengxue at all, like she's being forced? Look closely at the distance between them. Although their upper bodies are sitting together, their knees are not touching at all, indicating that subconsciously they still don't want contact.]
[The person upstairs talks too much. If you're so good at analyzing, why don't you go to the FBI? No, you should go and conquer the Earth!]
Xia Linxia was still immersed in her gaze. If it weren't for the fact that this person was still on her revenge list, she would have almost believed this nonsense!
It was time to test the real skill!
She tilted her head and smiled, then suddenly hugged Ji Fengxue tightly. In front of all the national viewers, she smiled like an idiot and said loudly, "Baby, don't worry, I'll treat you well. From now on, if I have food to eat, you'll definitely have food to eat!"
Ji Fengxue smiled charmingly at the camera, her expression touched. Then, in a volume only they could hear, she asked, "You mean you'll let me eat your farts?"
Xia Linxia: "..." Damn, you dog woman.
The audience cheered and applauded at this embrace, about to reach the climax of their shipping, when it suddenly stopped.
The Xia Linxia, who was smiling happily a second ago, pushed the person away the next second, pouting, "Friends, I want to break up."
Audience: ???
Xiang Huaimeng, Chen Nian: No!!
