Chapter 73: Eating Soft Rice? (Please Favorite, Please Recommend)

Turning my head, it was indeed Li Caihua.

She wore an exquisite red long dress, and her hair was permed into large waves.

It was a pity that the waves weren't very big; although she was very pretty, it wasn't enough to make one excited.

Before Qi Hui could speak, Jing Tian had already seized the initiative.

She gently took Qi Hui’s arm, switched to a cutesy, high-pitched voice in a second, and asked coquettishly, "Senior Brother, who is she?"

"How come I’ve never seen this sister before?"

Li Caihua’s momentum faltered; she had come to find Qi Hui with the original intention of settling scores.

This guy had left without saying goodbye, slipping away the very day filming wrapped—how unreasonable!

But now that Jing Tian had spoken, her plan to settle scores suddenly couldn't proceed.

Good junior sister... Qi Hui clenched his fist and coughed lightly, explaining with a calm expression, "This is the Hong Kong actress Li Caihua; we worked together when I was filming a while ago."

"Oh~ so it’s Sister Caihua!" Jing Tian said with a look of delight: "I’ve heard Senior Brother mention you, saying you’re a great swimmer and that your acting is very good."

Li Caihua’s expression stiffened instantly. My acting is very good... I played a mistress, what does this woman mean by saying my acting is very good?

With the two of them singing in harmony, Li Caihua found she didn't know what to do.

She hadn't even said a single word yet!

……

On the other side, Zhang Ruoyun, who was chatting aimlessly with Tang Yixin, suddenly had his eyes light up. He stood up excitedly and quietly approached Qi Hui’s position.

Just as Qi Hui expected, once these two got together, they hit it off quickly.

"Wha... what is it?" Tang Yixin was confused, subconsciously following Zhang Ruoyun’s footsteps.

"Hehe... look." Little Zhang pointed in Qi Hui’s direction: "There’s a situation over there."

"Uh..." Tang Yixin took a look, not quite understanding.

Isn't it just two women and one man?

Little Zhang explained patiently: "That’s my senior brother. As far as I know, both of those women are interested in him. Let’s go over and watch the show."

"Really?" Tang Yixin’s eyes lit up. If you put it that way, I’m wide awake now!

"Let’s go... let’s be careful and hide in the crowd," she suggested excitedly.

"Hehehe... let’s go, let’s go, let’s hear what they’re saying," Little Zhang rubbed his hands together.

I thought you were having a stroke of romantic luck, but I never expected you were actually facing a romantic disaster!

However, before the two of them could get close, Li Caihua and Jing Tian exchanged a few words and Li Caihua left directly.

This left Zhang Ruoyun and Tang Yixin quite disappointed.

Damn it, didn't get to eat the melon!

"Oh, we came too late..." Tang Yixin couldn't help but mutter under her breath.

Not seeing the gossip, she was a bit let down.

"I recorded it," Little Zhang chuckled, holding up his phone and shaking it.

A very nice photo; I'll take it out to chat about when I'm free later.

"Hey, Ruoyun, what’s the situation with the three of them?" Tang Yixin couldn't help but ask, the fire of gossip burning fiercely in her eyes.

Curious, I want to hear it!

"That’s a long story," Zhang Ruoyun recalled and said: "It started with my senior brother playing the hero to save the beauty..."

"Let’s go, let’s go somewhere else," Tang Yixin pulled Zhang Ruoyun along: "Let’s go somewhere else to talk about it in detail."

"I have a friend, she wants to hear it."

……

On the other side, watching Li Caihua, Qi Hui, and Jing Tian, Lei Jiayin suddenly realized: "I was wondering why this kid was so indifferent to Li Caihua."

"So it’s because he has such a beautiful girlfriend by his side..."

"Is that the one you said was chasing him?" Beside him, Zhai Xufei asked in a low voice, looking excited.

There’s gossip, I like it!

"Yes..."

"Then tell me what the situation is."

"Haven't I told you so many times already..." Lei Jiayin was speechless.

"Isn't there a new development?"

On the other side.

Li Caihua’s retreat was simple; she couldn't do anything about Jing Tian.

After chatting for a few sentences, she quickly realized she couldn't keep the conversation going with either Qi Hui or Jing Tian, so she had to retreat.

Otherwise, was she supposed to stay there awkwardly?

She didn't have the thick skin of Aili, nor was she as shameless as Aili.

She still had her own pride.

Watching Li Caihua leave, Jing Tian smiled lightly, looking somewhat triumphant.

"Senior Brother, Sister Caihua won't be angry, will she?" Jing Tian’s eyes darted around as she asked subconsciously.

"It’s fine, let her be angry if she wants," Qi Hui laughed.

Jing Tian was startled, then coughed lightly to return to normal; she wasn't that kind of "green tea" bitch.

After the small commotion passed, the wedding officially began shortly after.

When Lei Jiayin was making his rounds to toast, he took the opportunity to introduce Guo Jingfei to Qi Hui.

Like Lei Jiayin, Guo Jingfei had previously been immersed in stage plays, preparing to dig deep into that field.

But... just like Lei Jiayin, the pressures of life forced him to give it up and turn to acting in movies and TV dramas instead.

Therefore, Lei Jiayin was using the convenience of the wedding to help Guo Jingfei build some connections.

From this, one could see that the relationship between these two was extraordinary.

Ding~

[Host has come into contact with actor Guo Jingfei, obtained one lucky draw opportunity. Would you like to draw now?]

Qi Hui was surprised. His heart stirred, and he silently commanded the draw.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining +20 points in Acting.]

Qi Hui raised an eyebrow. He remembered the last time he brushed up on acting stats, it seemed to be with Old Ling.

……

Numerous guests offered their blessings to the bride and groom, and after the banquet was over, they left quickly.

Just as he returned, Qi Hui was about to return the car keys to Jing Tian, but she waved her hand and lent the car to Qi Hui to drive.

Qi Hui sighed, almost hugging her thighs and begging to be kept as a kept man.

Rich women are truly great!

"Don't look at me like that..." Jing Tian hummed: "Whenever I need to go out, you have to drive me."

"And, you have to be on call!"

"Ahem... definitely!" Qi Hui promised. He knew Jing Tian was just joking.

This girl must have noticed that he rented a car every time he went out, which is why she lent him the car.

"That’s more like it..." Jing Tian nodded with satisfaction, very pleased with Qi Hui.

She waved her hand and skipped away.

Everything was ready on the production side, and they were just waiting for her, the female lead; she had to prepare to join the crew and start filming.

……

Weibo

Qi Hui posted the photos taken at Lei Jiayin’s wedding.

This time it wasn't a sneak shot, but a bright and open one.

In the photo, Yao Chen was arm-in-arm with Cao Yu, intimate with her new lover, and even bringing the new lover to stand in front of her ex-husband.

Meanwhile, Ling Xiaosu stood all alone, facing the two of them.

Qi Hui had taken a pretty good shot; you couldn't see Old Ling’s expression in the photo, but you could see the smile on Yao Chen’s face.

With this, public opinion began to quietly shift.

"Damn, that’s a bit too much!"

"Who actually cheated? Why does it look like Handsome Ling didn't cheat to me?"

"Is Big-Mouth Yao doing this on purpose?"

"And he didn't even throw a punch? If it were me, I would have slapped her already!"

"What, only men are allowed to cheat, but women aren't allowed to find a new lover?"

"Ling Xiaosu is a scumbag, he deserves this!"

"This kind of person isn't worth sympathizing with."

"Are you blind? Can't you see that Big-Mouth Yao is being excessive?"

"I’ll say something fair: neither of these two are good people!"

"Handsome Ling is so pitiful, to be treated like this."

"……"

Qi Hui browsed the netizens' comments and nodded slightly. As for the previous "selling misery" act, the netizens were mostly judging the matter on its own merits.

As for sympathizing with Ling Xiaosu, it wasn't that there was none, just very little.

But now, the situation was beginning to gradually improve.

On the other side, Ling Xiaosu was also looking at the comments, subconsciously rubbing his chin.

"Qi Hui is right, playing the victim and staying calm don't conflict..." Ling Xiaosu chuckled, his eyes flashing with light.

Junior brother truly has great ability!

The situation was visibly getting better!

……

A few days later, Qi Hui drove the car with Ling Xiaosu, heading toward the Haidian District.

It was time for the audition.

"Yo? Junior brother, you bought a car?" Ling Xiaosu touched the Audi A6 and said with some surprise.

He didn't know much about cars, but he didn't see the FAW logo on it, so it should be an import.

An imported Audi wasn't a big deal to him, but Qi Hui hadn't been working for long, so it should be a bit difficult.

"It's not mine," Qi Hui explained, "Jing Tian lent it to me for the time being."

Hearing this, Ling Xiaosu felt a toothache: "Junior brother, you don't look like someone who would live off a woman."

To be honest, he was a bit envious!

"Ahem... I already said it was borrowed." Qi Hui coughed lightly, sounding a bit lacking in confidence.

"Let's not talk about this, the audition is coming up." Qi Hui changed the subject: "Senior brother, I'm a bit worried..."

"What are you worried about?" Ling Xiaosu looked at Qi Hui, who was sitting with a rigid posture, and his hair cut into a buzz cut:

"Between the training and the haircut... you've gone to such lengths; in a fair competition, who could compete with you?"
