In the dimly lit dining room, Xia Xin remembered that these variety shows usually have at least three guests. She continued her inquiry, “Is it just the two of us?”

Sun Hu coughed discreetly, covering his mouth, then looked at Jing MO with great interest.

Though Jing Mo t s face was impassive as he focused on his breakfast, Sun Hu noticed that he had slowed his movements. He knew that Jing MO was acting aloof when, in reality, he was very interested in who the other guests might be. Sun Hu gestured towards Jing MO and said, “Just the one next to you.”

A faint but satisfied smile crossed Jing Mo’s face. Although subtle, Sun Hu caught it and knew Jing MO was secretly pleased.

Irritated, Xia Xin pouted, “Why didn’t you say so as soon as you walked in? What’s with all the buildup?”

Sun Hu thought, ‘How else would I see someone so aloof get nervous?’

Sun Hu exaggerated, “Do you have any idea how much effort it took to squeeze both of you into this show? How much alcohol do I have to consume? I’ve done a great service here! You’re welcome.”

Though he said that, Sun Hu’s face was clearly hopeful as if waiting for praise.

Jing MO merely said, “Oh,” extinguishing Sun Hut s enthusiasm like water poured to fire.

Xia Xin chuckled but still gave Sun Hu some credit, “Thank you, Mr. Sun, for letting us appear on the show together.”

Sun Hu added cautiously, “Remember, this is a live show. You’ve got a 30-second delay to correct any blunders. Especially for a newcomer like you, I’m genuinely concerned.”

“Don’t worry,” Xia Xin assured Sun Hu. “With Jing MO watching over me, nothing will go wrong. Is there anything I should prepare?”

“Everything is arranged. It’s an outdoor episode—storm jackets, insect repellent. it’s all taken care of. I’ll Dick you both tomorrow.” Sun Hu said.

The variety show’s assistant director and scriptwriter were siblings. Because it was a live broadcast and the script needed to be written in real-time, the scriptwriter needed to be on the scene the entire time.

The scriptwriter, a chic woman with gold-framed glasses, radiated a refined, elegant aura distinct from typical entertainment industry beauties. She was different from the scriptwriter that Xia Xin had imagined. She had the exquisite beauty of a white-collar worker. One could tell at a glance that she was different from the beauties in the entertainment industry. Her appearance was very unique.

The assistant director, the twin brother of the scriptwriter, was somewhat unkempt in comparison, likely due to frequent outdoor shoots. His hair was always slightly disheveled, with a persistent tuft that refused to lay flat.

After Sun Hu introduced Xia Xin and Jing MO to the directors, she overheard some of the crew whispering, “Stellar Entertainment sure treats its people well. They even got Jing MO on board for this variety show.”

“Xia Xin looks even better in person than on TV, probably the best-looking among all the female artists lately.”

“Yeah, but she sure knows how to flirt. Just the other day she was rumored to be with MO Shu, and now she’s with Jing Mo. She’s really riding whoever’s trending.”

Upon hearing those comments, Xia Xin’s eyes narrowed in anger, silencing the gossiping crew members.

Just then, Xu Zhi and his manager, Zhao Nan, arrived. Seeing Zhao Nan, Xia Xin ran excitedly to hug her, both bursting into chit-chat about recent events.

Xu Zhi had guessed that the two besties must have many things to share with each other. So he purposely cleared Zhao Nan’s schedule for the whole morning.

Zhao Nan teased, “Ah, look who it is, my celebrity sister. Finally found time to see me?”

Xia Xin returned the jest, “You’re the busy one. Haven’t heard from you in a month. How does it feel to work with your idol?”

Zhao Nan grinned, “Absolutely amazing!”

Meanwhile, Sun Hu couldn’t resist ribbing Wang Da, another manager, “Ah, if it isn’t Mr. Wang.. Weren’t you the one who vowed never to work with Stellar Entertainment? What changed your mind to let Xu Zhi join this show?”
