Chapter 13, Livestream
Chu Ying remained silent for not even three seconds, before his lips quirked up.
“Alright.”
…
Even when the Rover’s rear end had vanished from the parking lot, Su Yi was still standing there looking like a fool.
“Uh, are you going up?” A woman walked into the elevator, shooting a strange look at the person still holding the door open.
Su Yi finally ca back to herself, taking a few tries to get her floor number. “Excuse .”
After finishing this sentence, she looked down, hiding all of her emotions behind her hair.
Before bringing her hands up and tightly covering her mouth, just in case she made too much of a racket.
…… What could she do? She was almost overwheld by these unknown feelings.
Once she got ho she hurriedly went and took a cold shower to cool herself down.
Hanging her legs over the edge of the bathtub, she thought about it before making a video call to Wu Xue.
The other picked up really fast. Wu Xue was donning on a facial mask; when she saw on the screen half the uncovered shoulder of Su Yi’s, she couldn’t help the ‘Damn!’ that escaped from her mouth.
“Little Xue, hurry up and let know, how did you get Liu Minghao?” Su Yi leant her head against the edge of the tub, the tilt of her eyes appearing even sharper at this angle, akin to the seductive vixens of the past.
Though now it appeared that, other than how she wasn’t harming anyone, she wasn’t all that different from the other vixens. Only, the other wasn’t a weak scholar, instead, a strong warrior.
“Are you looking to get punched, your ankle’s already this way and you’re taking a bath?!” Wu Xue first scolded her, before saying, “Who told you I pursued him? He’s the one who pursued .”
So Su Yi changed her question, “Then how did he get you?”
“What about it? How did I not know that you’re this into gossip last ti.” Wu Xue thought about it, then said, “He didn’t try too hard. Once my bag was stolen, and he grabbed it back for . Then he took out for a few als, I didn’t really dislike him, he confessed, I agreed.”
Su Yi tsked. “Why are you so easy to get.”
Wu Xue sneered. “When you’re saying that, you should think about yourself first.”
Su Yi apologised, “Sorry.”
“Right, just nice, I have sothing to say to you.” Wu Xue took out a book, “As your cover was brought up by a week, the livestreaming was brought forward too, I’m going to write down all the answers you need to give and you need to do your howork later.”
“Got it.” Su Yi asked, “When am I getting the new script for ‘Undercurrent’?”
Wu Xue said, “I haven’t gotten any news yet, go ask Li Min later.”
“Sure.”
After hanging up, Wu Xue quickly sent the file over.
Su Yi spun the pen idly in her hand, thinking that it really wasn’t easy being an actress. Not only did she have to morise her script, she had to morise her speeches too.
She quickly skimd the docunt and her attention was caught by one question.
“You have so results in your career, how about in your love life?”
The answer Wu Xue gave was, “No (quickly shake your head), I’m slower to get close to people. Currently I’m more focused on my career, and I haven’t t anyone suitable recently anyway (smile)”
Su Yi clicked her tongue, typing on the keyboard and deleting the answer cleanly.

The livestream was on Sunday at so film studio. The photoshoot before the livestream went quite smoothly. These few days her leg had mostly healed; though she couldn’t walk too naturally yet, holding so poses wasn’t too much of a problem.
This magazine had a site on so streaming App, releasing a livestream interview for every issue’s cover model.
Before the interview, while she was touching up on her makeup, she was continuously opening her Weixin interface too.
The few ssages she’d sent Chu Ying in the morning had yet to receive a response.
After that night, their chats were really… calm.
How calm? Every ssage she sent only received a reply more than half a day later.
Whenever she thought about this, Su Yi couldn’t help letting out a long sigh.
Wu Xue was standing right behind her. “Why are you always holding your phone nowadays.”
“Hey,” Su Yi didn’t reply, instead asking, “How long does Liu Minghao usually take to reply to your ssages?”
“I’m so busy every day, how do I have ti to send him ssages,” Wu Xue said. “When his shift is over he’d co find .”
Su Yi was even sadder.
A worker ca over. “Yi-jie, we can start now, are you ready?”
“I am.” Before she got up, she used the eyeliner to draw a mole right beneath her eye, then she followed the worker out of the make-up room.
Wu Xue sat below the stage, appearing to be a school senior managent sitting at the back of the classroom to listen to the teacher’s lecture.
Today was actually her seventh year anniversary with Liu Minghao, but Liu Minghao was on duty and she wasn’t too reassured with Su Yi, so she followed her here.
An Xuan handed her a glass of water, “Wu-jie, have so water.”
Wu Xue took the glass, asking off-handedly, “Is it settled at ho?”
An Xuan said that soone passed away at ho a while back and has to take a few days of leave.
“It is,” An Xuan said really softly. “Thanks for the concern.”
Wu Xue humd in agreent and didn’t say much more. Soone else’s problem wasn’t sothing she could do much about, so she might as well not ask too much. So long as she expressed her concern it was enough.
This interview wasn’t too formal – even the host was just so worker in the studio.
The worker set for her a rather cute rabbit effect that included beautifying effects.
Once the livestream opened, a flood of audience ca on.
“Su Yi, do you know that you got the bento tonight* (it’s a way of saying that the actor/actress has received their ‘bento’ as the role they play in the show is over before the show itself is over, for their character is dead) hahaha.”
Talking about Su Yi’s character in the currently trending imperial-harem show.
The interview hadn’t even begun when the live comnting had started.
Su Yi said, “Is the number of tis I’ve gotten the bento very few?”
There was a whole series of ‘hahahas’ floating across the screen.
The live comnting was split into three factions. One was attacking her personally, saying that since she can act out these evil won so well, it must be because that’s how she was in real life. One was praising her for her acting skills, saying that everyti they saw the lady she was acting as they’d be so angry they’d hamr down the walls if they could. The last faction was talking about her looks, showering praise upon her face and her make-up artist’s skills.
The host got the script and finally started asking questions.
“Welco, Su Yi, we’re very grateful you would be willing to take cover page for our magazine.”
Su Yi smiled, “That’s my honour.”
The host clearly wanted this to go in the direction of an easy-going, heart-to-heart chat, raising her questions as if it’s an everyday conversation, “Is there any shows going recently?”
Su Yi’s answer was very standard. “Yes, Qing Tao Weishi “XX legend”, two episodes every night at eight pm, if you’re a mber of the Hunting Rabbit App you can watch the whole show before it’s completely released.”
…
At the airport.
A guy was dressed leisurely in pure white with sunglasses that covered most of his face, his hulking figure attracted plenty of attention from the passers-by.
Of course, the other part of the reason was that behind him, there were a few guys decked out in suits, so the whole lot of them together were really eye-catching.
Beneath the sunglasses his eyes were completely red; Chu Ying rubbed at his temples, asking tiredly, “Is this the last one?”
“Yes,” the assistant said. “The conference is tomorrow morning at nine.”
“Alright,” Chu Ying strode out of the airport. “Book the ticket back for tomorrow afternoon.”
The assistant quickly agreed. They’d been spinning around like a beyblade for the past few days, he was almost completely spun around from just the plane rides they’d been on, nevermind Chu Ying, who has to go for all sorts of conferences on top of this. He was probably almost dizzy from just listening to the reports.
It was sothing they couldn’t help; Chu’s family had nurous business deals in all sorts of industries and his boss had to take over it all right after he’d just left the army. Of course he had to be busy for a long while, so long as he managed to make it past this ti it would be good.
He picked out Su Yi’s na from it.
Goddess Su Yi: I fell asleep yesterday, is it really busy for you recently?
Goddess Su Yi: Eating breakfast [picture]
Goddess Su Yi: Going out for work, today’s weather is really good.
Then there’s one that had just been sent.
Goddess Su Yi: Getting ready for the interview for XX magazine, and it’s a livestream. I’m really tired, I can’t help yawning [picture], do you have ti tomorrow? I really want to eat at that Mala soup restaurant again.
Chu Ying moved his fingers, sending a ssage back.
A few days ago, Su Yi had… half-confessed to him.
Her cheeks were all red, he rembered that the ears were red too, but she insisted on appearing to be really imposing, as if if he’d said no, she could simply shrug, say goodbye and leave.
He coughed gently, asking the person in the shotgun seat, “Where can I watch a livestream?”
The assistant there imdiately turned around and said, “Use your phone or the tablet and you can watch it, which one do you wish to see? I can get it for you imdiately.”
Chu Ying told him the magazine’s na.
His assistant imdiately found the livestream and handed him the tablet.
In the screen, the woman’s make-up was detailed and there was even a mole beneath the corner of her eye, adding to her beauty. She was wearing a pair of bunny ears, her eyes curving into a beautiful arc when she smiled. Her smile was extrely infectious.
Chu Ying watched for a little while more before looking away and down at the comnts.
“If I’d had her looks, I’d walk sideways even outdoors.”
“A proper vixen’s face.”
“Cute, would love to fuck.”
Chu Ying looked at this last comnt, his eyes dark.
The host asked, “Yi Yi, you have so results in your career, how about in your love life?”
Chu Ying’s attention went back to the livestream.
The lady’s smile deepened as she pushed aside her long hair.
“Yes.” She said, the edge of her lips quirking up as she continued unthinkingly, “I have soone I really love.”
The live comnting imdiately got really lively.
“Mama, I think I’m in love!”
“Want… want to marry!”
“Who’s luck is so rotten as to be soone she wants to pursue?”
The host was rather surprised as she asked, “Really? Is it convenient to let us know who?”
Chu Ying was watching very attentively when a few banners appeared at the top of the screen.
[Liang Bo Lb sent the host a UFO]

[Liang Bo Lb sent the host a UFO]
On the screen Su Yi clearly had seen the gift as well.
The host’s jaw dropped, forming a round O. She hadn’t expected Su Yi to answer this way, and definitely didn’t expect Liang Bo to be so open about coming onto the show at this point and sending her the most expensive gift.
Su Yi’s brow lifted a little, the curve to her lips dropping a little but remaining as a smile.
“It’s not convenient,” she said. “Because he’s not in the industry.”
