Chapter 234
Qin Wei saw Sun Tiantian waving to her as soon as she emerged and quickly walked over.
Sun Tiantian had chicken legs on her tray, which she had cut into small pieces for Qin Wei's convenience.
Even from a distance, the aroma was tantalizing. Qin Wei's mouth watered as she approached, but halfway there, she felt an intense gaze bearing down on her.
"Oh? Teacher Qiao, you're here too..." Qin Wei pretended as if nothing was amiss and took a detour, avoiding Sun Tiantian.
"No wonder you didn't eat the tuna cucumber rolls. Looks like you want something better..." Qiao Sixiao mercilessly exposed Qin Wei's disguise. Catching a glimpse of Shen Kai walking towards them, she suddenly changed the subject, pushing Qin Wei towards Sun Tiantian.
"Alright, alright. You can't usually eat anything good, and you look so pitiful with your injuries. Go on, go on, take what you can get...," Qiao Sixiao urged Qin Wei, afraid she might change her mind, and Qin Wei nodded immediately and left, with her back turned to Shen Kai, unaware of what had transpired. Though she was perplexed, the greatest joy for her was being able to eat. Afraid that Qiao Sixiao might retract her offer, she wasted no time in agreeing.
Watching Qin Wei walk away briskly, Shen Kai stood still, his gaze filled with a hint of desolation. Did she really have to keep evading him? Whenever he appeared, did she have to flee in panic?
"What did you say to her?" Shen Kai asked Qiao Sixiao.
"Go ask her yourself," Qiao Sixiao replied before turning away and leaving as well.
Seeing that Qin Wei was approaching again, Sun Tiantian picked up her tray and fork, selecting a piece of chicken leg meat and feeding it to her. The meat was tender and succulent, and Qin Wei wore a smile of contentment.
Sun Tiantian sighed, "The happiness of a child is so simple..."
Saying that, she fed Qin Wei another piece.
This scene left Shen Kai dumbfounded. Should he go over? If he hadn't mistaken, was she indulging in high-calorie food again?
When they were recording the variety show, he thought Qin Wei was only eating food she wouldn't normally touch to enhance her image.
Later, to save her, they met in a luxurious hotel suite, and she was eating there too. Although the calories were high, it was all high-quality ingredients, an occasional indulgence. He could understand that, after all, she wasn't living a particularly good life at that time.
But this time? She was eating with such enjoyment and ease, and the female artist who fed her seemed unperturbed...
Shen Kai fell into contemplation.
Qiao Sixiao snorted lightly and walked over. Seeing Wei Lai standing at the entrance, she said to Qin Wei, "Take it with you."
Both Sun Tiantian and Qin Wei couldn't believe those words were true. After repeatedly confirming that it wasn't an illusion, Sun Tiantian went to get a container, and Qin Wei took the opportunity to put two egg tarts and three roasted chicken wings inside.
They left happily, while others nearby whispered to each other:
"Aren't those actresses from 'Against the Wind' doing pretty well lately? Why would they take food to go from the banquet?"
"The problem is, it's not common for other artists to do the same..." Regardless of which hotel Sun Tiantian and Wei Lai were staying at, the two of them separately consulted their managers and happily got into Qiao Sixiao's car, heading to the same hotel.
They were all good friends, and it was a rare opportunity to see each other, so they decided to have a good gathering.
Upon arriving at the hotel, Li Yao escorted Qin Wei to the door of her room and repeatedly instructed:
"After a while, let my child go back to her own room and rest. She has had a rough day and is also injured. She shouldn't be too tired."
Sun Tiantian readily agreed and then pushed Qin Wei into the room.
"Hurry up and give me my chicken leg."
Qin Wei asked Sun Tiantian for the meal box and sat in front of the coffee table, struggling to open it with one hand.
Qiao Sixiao went to the refrigerator and took out a few bottles of water. He came over and saw her struggling with the meal box. Without thinking, he helped her open it. They both looked at each other, and for several seconds, neither of them said a word.
Qiao Sixiao turned around and took a plate from the cabinet, picked out a piece of chicken leg meat from inside, and left the rest as it was. He covered the meal box and took it away, putting it in the refrigerator.
Watching Qiao Sixiao's back, Qin Wei rolled her eyes and then made a gesture to Sun Tiantian and Wei Lai with her mouth.
"So stingy."
It was a way for her to express her dissatisfaction, but she shouldn't have expressed it to the fans.
These two also looked at each other with a filtered gaze.
They glanced at each other and then burst into laughter. It seemed like they had stumbled upon something.
What did they stumble upon? Qin Wei didn't know, all she knew was that she had only eaten breakfast and a few bites of bread that day. If she didn't eat soon, she would starve.
"We finally met, but unfortunately Youyou and Shen Qingqing couldn't come today because of scheduling conflicts."
Sun Tiantian sat next to Qin Wei, feeling a bit regretful.
Although Qin Wei was planning to retire from the entertainment industry, Qiao Laoshi had already joined a group, and there was a new drama to be filmed on Shen Qingqing's side. Even if they returned to the capital, they wouldn't be able to meet for a while.
"That's true."
Wei Lai took out his phone and opened the chat group.
"We should believe in the power of technology. Even if we can't meet in person, we can still video chat. Let's tell them that we're having a fanfiction sharing conference right now."
"It's already two o'clock in the morning, they must be asleep."
Qin Wei reminded them as she ate the chicken leg.
Then someone picked up the call.
Both of them did.
"Youyou, are you writing a new story? Hurry up and read it, read it quickly!"
Youyou's voice came from the phone. Then Shen Qingqing held up her phone, lying on the bed and complaining:
"I don't want to listen at all. Why did you write about my Kaige and Qiao Laoshi? They have nothing in common... Ah, Qiao Laoshi is here too. I mean, you two are a perfect match, I'm really looking forward to it."
A forced smile.
Qiao Sixiao glanced at her and said nothing, just sat down.
He had something to deal with, so he took out his phone and kept looking at it.
Qin Wei, who rarely showed great interest in fanfiction, urged:
"Youyou, hurry up. I'm already sleepy."
"If you're tired, go to sleep."
Qiao Sixiao found a moment in his busy schedule to tell her.
Qin Wei pouted in anger.
"Senior Sister, Senior Sister, I heard you got injured! Are you okay?"
Youyou asked her with concern through the video.
"I'm fine...
But I'm going back the day after tomorrow. I got injured, so I don't have to continue with the military training."
Youyou was a little surprised:
"That's great, but will the school allow it?"
Shen Qingqing also said:
"Of course, our school has always been gentle with its students. If you get injured, there's no need to go, why bother with training? You won't even be able to stand for long."
"Don't derail the conversation, are you listening?"
Sun Tiantian yawned as well,
"If you're not listening, I'll go back to sleep..."
Qin Wei, Wei Lai, and the two on the other end of the video said together:
"We're listening!"
"Then let me first give you an introduction to the characters. I'll start the lecture directly later, so don't ask me who is who anymore...
This time, the setup is a wealthy CEO and a lady from an equally prestigious family. They grew up together since childhood, and now the CEO has taken over the family business while the lady has returned from studying abroad. They both have a strong sense of ambition and are elites in their respective careers...
As for Weiwei... she's just a minor character."
Qin Wei nodded:
"I think it works."
