After leaving the neighborhood, Qi Yuying brought Yang Hua straight to the food street in the center of City T. However, just as the two of them got out of the taxi, a surprised shout came from behind them. “Qi Yuying!”

The person who called out to Qi Yuying was a girl about her age. She was wearing a refreshing silk top and a black short skirt, revealing her legs. Coupled with her high heels, she was about 175 centimeters tall. Her figure looked perfect, but she wore a pair of big sunglasses and a sunhat on her head, making it impossible to see her appearance.

Qi Yuying and the girl who called her were obviously very close friends. She did not even turn around and recognized the other party’s identity from her voice. “Wang Ruoxi!” She also turned around with a surprised expression and held the girl’s hand who ran over.

When Wang Ruoxi ran over from afar, Yang Hua also saw her face under the sun hat. Although her eyes were blocked and could not be seen, it was absolutely certain from her perfectly oval-shaped face that unless her eyes were deformed, she would not be ugly.

“What a coincidence!” Wang Ruoxi smiled as she spoke to Qi Yuying. At the same time, she did not forget to glance at Yang Hua.

When she saw Yang Hua’s face, Wang Ruoxi was surprised. Then, she giggled at Qi Yuying. “Why isn’t the one who came out with you today that Young Master Li from last time? Did you change boyfriend?”

“Don’t talk nonsense! This is Yang Hua. Now he’s my… uh, assistant!” Qi Yuying was indeed a screenwriter. It only took her a short while to come up with a name for Yang Hua.

“Oh! Assistant!” Wang Ruoxi immediately dragged her voice out and smiled as she looked at Yang Hua and Qi Yuying. Obviously, she did not believe that Qi Yuying and Yang Hua had a purely professional relationship.

“Hey, do you want me to find trouble with you?” Qi Yuying smiled and threatened Wang Ruoxi jokingly.

“Don’t! My good sister. The relationship that you have with him is what you’ve told me, alright? Please don’t torture me anymore!” Wang Ruoxi was really afraid of Qi Yuying. She immediately pouted and begged for mercy.

Seeing the two girls playing tricks together, Yang Hua felt extremely awkward. He felt that he was a little redundant in this scene, but he was afraid that his “unlucky syndrome when encountering women” would relapse again. He could only turn around and try to stay away from the two little demons. However, Qi Yuying did not forget about her newly appointed “assistant”. After greeting Wang Ruoxi, she immediately pulled her friend to Yang Hua and introduced him to her.

“This is Wang Ruoxi. She… an actress and my only good friend in City T. However, she usually can’t be seen.” When she said the last sentence, Qi Yuying’s voice was filled with resentment.

“Oh, hello.” Yang Hua greeted Wang Ruoxi carefully. Yang Hua, who had been worried that a plane or meteorite would suddenly fall and hit his head, thought for a full 15 seconds before deciding to shake hands with Wang Ruoxi. By the time he reached out, Wang Ruoxi’s hand had already been suspended in the air for quite a while.

“Hehe, your assistant is really interesting. He’s shy!” Looking at Yang Hua’s timid appearance when shaking hands, Wang Ruoxi couldn’t help but laugh at him. This smile made Yang Hua even more embarrassed, and his face unconsciously turned red.

Seeing that Yang Hua was blushing, Wang Ruoxi couldn’t hold it in anymore. She clutched her stomach and laughed.

“Stop teasing him.” Qi Yuying also couldn’t help but laugh. She walked forward and finally separated the two of them.

“Yo, and you’re telling me he’s not your boyfriend? I haven’t even teased you for a while, and you’re already defending yourself.”

“I told you that he’s an assistant. If you continue to make a fuss, I’ll really be angry!”

“Alright, alright, alright. He’s your assistant.” Wang Ruoxi said with a you-can-say-whatever-you-want expression.

“That’s more like it.”

Although she was no longer joking with Qi Yuying, Wang Ruoxi could not help but laugh as she whispered into her ear, “Nowadays, men who blush when shaking hands with women are almost extinct. Where did you find such a top-notch little boy?”

“I picked him up on the road!” Qi Yuying could not help but reply angrily when she saw Wang Ruoxi nagging about Yang Hua.

“Picked it up? Where did you find him? Tell me the address. I’ll pick one up next time.”

“Why are you so annoying now? Do you think I gave you too few lines, and you want more?”

“Alright, alright! I won’t say it anymore!” Qi Yuying’s ultimate move made Wang Ruoxi shut her mouth immediately.

“Oh, right, aren’t you guys rehearsing today? Why are you suddenly on holiday?” At this moment, Qi Yuying thought of a new question.

“The director said that you had too many typos in the two episodes last week and is looking for someone to correct them! It would only start at two o’clock in the afternoon! I snuck out when I had nothing to do. Hehe, I don’t want to eat the lunchboxes in the rehearsal room! It tastes terrible!”

“Yes! I almost vomited the last time I ate it.” Qi Yuying nodded in agreement.

Just like that, the two women chatted and laughed as they brought Yang Hua, who was like a gourd, into a restaurant that was slightly famous in City T. As it was noon when they arrived, the restaurant was crowded with people. There was not even a place to sit.

“Sigh!” When the two girls saw the situation in the restaurant, they immediately sighed at the same time.

Yang Hua finally understood why the two of them could become friends. Their personalities and tempers were almost the same. Even their expressions and tones when they sighed were exactly the same.

However, they soon saw an empty table in a quiet corner of the restaurant. Feeling overjoyed, the two girls immediately ran to the table. However, just as they were about to sit down, the waiter in the restaurant suddenly called out to them.

“I’m sorry, this seat has been reserved in advance.” The shop assistant had an apologetic smile on his face as he walked to the two of them.

“A reservation? Reservations can be made?” Qi Yuying looked surprised. “Why haven’t I heard of it before?”

“I’m sorry. The situation this time is a little special. The boss specially instructed me to do so.” Although the shop assistant was apologetic, he still insisted.

“Forget it. Let’s find other places.” Wang Ruoxi said as she pulled Qi Yuying’s arm.

Qi Yuying also looked at Wang Ruoxi helplessly. Of course, they would not quarrel with the waiter here. The two of them were about to leave when Wang Ruoxi suddenly froze. She grabbed Qi Yuying and pointed at a woman walking towards them anxiously. The new young woman was dressed very similarly to Wang Ruoxi. Even the color of her clothes was exactly the same, except that the lower half of her skirt was a black skirt that was above her knees.

Without Wang Ruoxi’s explanation, Qi Yuying immediately recognized this popular celebrity. In fact, the relationship between the two of them was not too distant. This was because this female celebrity who had just walked over had become famous because she had starred in Qi Yuying’s popular movie, “Red Rain”. However, at that time, both Qi Yuying and her were newbies. Although the two of them had good cooperation, they had never met each other. After Qi Yuying gradually blended into the industry, she switched to the TV series industry, but she still did not get the chance to meet that female celebrity.

However, the female celebrity did not have any new shows recently, so she accepted the invitation of the popular TV drama director to participate in the filming of this season’s TV drama. It could be considered that she had joined forces with Wang Ruoxi again.

When the new girl approached, Wang Ruoxi immediately greeted her with a sweet smile. “Sister Xin.” Qi Yuying also nodded at Sister Xin. However, when she was curious about how Yang Hua would react in front of this new female celebrity, she realized that he had already hidden far away.

When Qi Yuying retracted her gaze from Yang Hua and was about to exchange a few words with the female lead of the TV series that she was the scriptwriter of, she was even more surprised to find that this female celebrity was actually staring at Yang Hua, who was hiding far away.

“Uh…” Qi Yuying was about to ask Sister Xin if she knew Yang Hua, but before she could ask, the latter’s shout completely dispelled her doubts.

“Yang Hua!” The woman whom Wang Ruoxi addressed as Sister Xin called out Yang Hua’s name loudly.
