Chapter 333: Chapter 331: What on Earth is This Ridiculous News?!
Her voice was faint, sounding as if she was just making small talk.
But such small talk, she had to repeat several times a day, and it truly gave her a headache.
Sun Qian’s ulterior-motived greetings left her feeling especially exhausted.
She awkwardly tugged at the corners of her mouth, "I don’t know when my brother will arrive, he didn’t say anything about it today. Teacher Sun, you also know how there have been rumors flying around outside recently..."
Sun Qian didn’t seem to mind; she only wanted to hear what she was interested in.
Since Lu Zhaozhao had said her brother wouldn’t come, then Pei Huai wouldn’t be there either.
So after getting her answer, she took the script and went back to her nanny van.
Lu Zhaozhao pressed her temples, somewhat speechlessly.
She suddenly couldn’t quite understand why Sun Qian needed to ask every day if her fourth brother would come to know if Pei Huai would come.
But hadn’t she noticed that the two grown men were appearing together a bit too frequently?
They weren’t blood siblings; who would stick with another person for so long!
Lu Zhaozhao really wanted to pry open Sun Qian’s head, add some brain cells, then seal it back up.
But she couldn’t say it.
Lu Zhaozhao sighed lightly, only praying that Xia Wenyan wouldn’t show up again lately.
She was being worn thin by Sun Qian now.
"Zhaozhao!"
Suddenly, an excited voice came over, making Lu Zhaozhao’s temples throb instantly.
The moment her front foot declared Xia Wenyan wouldn’t come, her dear brother surprised her on the back foot.
Lu Zhaozhao had given up struggling; she waved at Xia Wenyan, somewhat envious of someone who knew nothing.
Pei Huai followed Xia Wenyan, nodding at Lu Zhaozhao.
Upon seeing Lu Zhaozhao, Xia Wenyan immediately grabbed her hand and said mysteriously, "I have a piece of good news and a piece of bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"
Lu Zhaozhao raised her eyebrows, "The bad one, I guess."
She felt most people would choose to hear the bad news first.
Xia Wenyan immediately let out a sigh, "Starting from tomorrow, your dear fourth brother won’t be able to visit you on set anymore; I’ve got a new job."
Lu Zhaozhao wanted to clap like a seal on the inside!
Thank heavens!
With Xia Wenyan not coming, she wouldn’t have to endure Sun Qian’s formulaic courtesy anymore!
Seeing Lu Zhaozhao silently processing, Xia Wenyan raised his hand and hastily patted her back, "Don’t panic just yet; you haven’t asked me what the good news is."
Caught up in her joy, Lu Zhaozhao immediately followed up, "So what’s the good news?"
Could it be that he’s with Pei Huai now?
That seemed unlikely; after all, her fourth brother’s thought processes were extremely lengthy...
As Lu Zhaozhao pondered, Xia Wenyan’s melancholic voice came through, "The good news is, I’m joining the crew this week! Right here at this film base! We’ll be able to meet every day soon!"
"..."
Well, damn!
That’s not good news at all!
It’s like a bolt from the blue!
Now Lu Zhaozhao felt an urge to kneel down and sing "The North Wind Blows" on the spot.
What kind of freaking news is this?!
Lu Zhaozhao turned her head incredulously toward Pei Huai, giving him a "aren’t you going to explain this?" look.
Pei Huai sighed helplessly and slowly walked over, "Yanyan recently found a good script. By chance, the filming location is right here in this studio complex. There are two pretty good roles, so Yanyan and I decided to take them."
Lu Zhaozhao’s mouth twitched with an expression that clearly said, "I don’t believe you at all."
She didn’t buy the coincidence one bit!
It must have been Xia Wen Yan who deliberately chose a script that was being filmed at the studio complex; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so coincidental.
He and Pei Huai came every few days, and now... they were coming every day, which had excited Sun Qian beyond belief.
Lu Zhaozhao already anticipated that from now on, her visits here for filming would never be peaceful.
She thought for a moment and turned her gaze to Xia Wen Yan, clearing her throat lightly, "Big Brother, I suddenly feel like drinking milk tea. Could you get me one?"
Seeing her rarely ask for something, Xia Wen Yan was naturally willing.
"What brand do you want? Half sugar or less sugar? With or without pearls? Large or small cup? You... hmm!"
Xia Wen Yan’s words were cut short as Lu Zhaozhao reached out and covered his mouth.
With a smiling gaze, she spoke word by word, "I like whatever flavor Big Brother likes. I’ll enjoy anything you pick for me."
Xia Wen Yan’s heart bloomed with joy in an instant, and he was as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood, "Don’t worry! With your brother here, I’ll definitely get you the tastiest milk tea!"
Saying this, he dashed excitedly out from in front of Lu Zhaozhao.
As Xia Wen Yan headed off, Lu Zhaozhao’s gaze returned to Pei Huai, "My brother’s gone off to buy milk tea. Why didn’t you go with him?"
Pei Huai chuckled softly and sat down next to her on the resting chair, "You sent Yanyan away just to have a private talk with me, didn’t you?"
Lu Zhaozhao pursed her lips noncommittally.
Indeed, speaking with an intelligent person saved effort.
At the same time, Lu Zhaozhao couldn’t help but feel that her naive Big Brother was probably a lost cause.
She sighed, resigned to the belief that a fool sometimes has his own kind of fortune.
She glanced at Pei Huai and, in a low voice leaning close, said, "You must know what Sun Qian intends toward you, right?"
Pei Huai nodded gently, "I’ve turned her down before."
Lu Zhaozhao finally relaxed, "Sun Qian is a bit stubborn and probably won’t give up easily. I’m worried that if she really discovers something, it’ll be you two who suffer."
In the entertainment industry, relationships between people of the same sex are not rare. Even if the paparazzi get something, everyone has an unspoken agreement not to leak it to the public.
It’s like an unstated rule of the circle.
People have seen a lot and don’t make a big deal out of it, but the fear is that some people with ulterior motives might spill the beans.
Since Pei Huai had already made his decision about Xia Wen Yan, she wasn’t worried about that, but her Big Brother’s feelings for Pei Huai were still unclear.
If some complication arose, she feared it might destabilize their current relationship.
After all, Xia Wen Yan was quite the foolishly straightforward type.
Pei Huai naturally understood what Lu Zhaozhao was worried about and nodded lightly, "Don’t worry, I’ll be careful. I won’t let anyone hurt Yanyan. If anyone tries to harm him, I won’t let them off easily."
Pei Huai’s tone was calm, but to Lu Zhaozhao, it carried an unmistakably threatening undertone.
In his past life, Pei Huai had cut down so many people for Xia Wen Yan.
She suddenly grew concerned about Pei Huai’s current mental state.
Seeing Lu Zhaozhao’s furrowed brow, Pei Huai seemed to realize something and chuckled lightly, "Don’t worry. In this life, I just want to be with Yanyan and live well. I won’t do anything reckless or illegal."
Hearing him say this, Lu Zhaozhao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh, one more thing..."
