Chapter 264

"Let's go eat something good."

"Haha! Did you get paid?"

"Mm! And—I got the album."

"Ah ah ah ah—give it to me, give it to me! Right now, immediately, at once!"

Hearing Lingyu's excited voice, He Lele couldn't help but smile.

Just after hanging up the phone, her phone rang again. It was an unfamiliar landline number, but it looked somewhat familiar.

"Hello, this is Xin× Culture Media. May I ask if this is Miss He Lele?"

Xin× Culture Media was the company that had previously recruited for animation voice acting, and the audiobook she recorded part-time was a small project of that company. The company called mainly to notify her to sign the relevant agreement, saying that the electronic version had been sent to her email, asking her to check it. If there were no problems, she could go to sign it next Monday and participate in the briefing on the animation content.

This news was undoubtedly just right for her; she just happened to need work, and she just happened to have time.

"Also, may I ask if you know Mr. Jishi?"

He Lele was stunned. "... I know him, why?"

"Ah, that's great. It's like this, the mobile phone number he left has been unreachable. If it's convenient, could you please ask Mr. Jishi to return the call?"

"... Okay."

She almost forgot that Jishi was supposed to go for a re-examination last Sunday.

Thinking of Jishi, thinking of those arrogant, heaven-favored children who were so domineering that they made people feel powerless, He Lele's good mood gradually subsided.

On the day she was forcibly held by Shentu Mo, on the day she saw Jishi stubbornly refusing to let go, for the first time in her life, she wanted to take revenge so strongly.

She forgot her persistence for more than ten years; she actually... forgot.

She lost the part of herself she liked the most.

It was Qin Zhixiu's tolerance for Du Wei that woke her up, making her rethink the future. Even though she hadn't thought of any way to solve the current predicament, well, there would always be a way, right?

Hatred would only make her suffer and couldn't help her get out of the predicament.

The phone rang again, another unfamiliar number.

"Hi! Do you still remember me?" A bright yet lazy female voice.

He Lele was stunned for two seconds, not daring to be sure. "Rong, Miss Rong?"

Half an hour later, at an open-air cafe.

Looking at the handsome and charming Rong Qingfeng in front of her, He Lele's eyes were full of surprise. She didn't expect to see this top-tier beauty again.

"How did you get my mobile number?"

"Asked Jishi for it. Haven't seen you for more than two months, are you okay?" Rong Qingfeng asked with a smile.

"Mm. Is Miss Rong here for work or rest? Is Qingya okay?"

"I'm here for a meeting. Qingya shouts that she's bored every day, saying she wants to eat the dumplings you make."

Thinking of the generous and likable Rong Qingya, He Lele couldn't help but lower her eyes and smile. When she looked up again, she found Rong Qingfeng looking at her mysteriously.

"Uh... what's wrong?"

"Are you really doing well?"

"..."

Seeing He Lele awkwardly avoiding her gaze, Rong Qingfeng sighed softly with a smile. People, if they are too kind, they often don't live well; being carefree and heartless is instead worry-free.

"Is there anything I can help with?"

He Lele pursed her lips and finally just smiled lightly. "Thank you, Miss Rong."

"If you don't mind, you can call me Qingfeng." There aren't many children as silly as you, I like it.

"... Sister Qingfeng."

"Heh... if one day you find that you like women more than men, remember to tell me."

"Ah?"

"Nothing. Although this silly girl of yours might not listen even if I say it, I'll still say it—friends are for relying on, don't carry everything by yourself."

"Mm!"

Looking at He Lele's bright smile, Rong Qingfeng knew she had wasted her breath. She shook her head with a chuckle. Although this child was just this silly, this silliness was precisely her most precious quality, the one that... made people feel heartache, made people like her.

"Qingya will be coming over at the end of the month. Help me keep an eye on her then." ===== CHAPTER 265 =====
