Lu Bai pushed his hand under the table while waving it around, as if in search of something.
When he touched a warm hand next to him, which belonged to Xu Ze, he roughly squeezed it in warning, and the latter glared back at him with pain evident in his eyes.
Lu Bai released his hold and turned a blind eye to this before he stared pointedly at Xu Ze, as if telling Xu Ze with his eyes, “What is with your words?
Why are you talking so rudely to someone else like this?”
Seeing his point had been taken across and understood by Xu Ze, who had turned his eyes away indignantly with a low huff, Lu Bai said to Yu Xi with mirth, “Sister, you are so powerful.
I am optimistic about you!”
The young man was high-spirited, with a flamboyant smile and a manly appearance, revealing a pair of cute tiger teeth like a well-behaved little milk dog wagging his little tail excitedly.
It was cute.
Lu Bai was immediately greeted back with a glowing smile; Yu Xi’s eyes were bright and crystal clear.
Bright eyes, bright and clear, as bright as the stars.
[Host, one designated target has been located.]
[The designated target, Lu Bai, has appeared.]
The Star Maker System’s voice suddenly sounded in Yu Xi’s head, and the smile on her face froze for a moment.
Yu Xi: [Hey, system, are you sure that you have not found the wrong target?
Do you not remember how I just forcefully kissed his team members, Xu Ze and Wen Han, not long ago?
And not to mention that the forced kiss with Xu Ze had taken place inside this very dance studio?]
Although Yu Xi was roaring at the Star Maker System in her heart, she still managed to maintain the perfect smile on her face, which was mainly due to professional reasons.
Yu Xi laughed a little at Lu Bai’s statement before saying, “Although you called me sister, you are still older than me in terms of seniority.
There was this feeling of me taking advantage of you when you called me with this title.”
Although Yu Xi said these in a teasing tone, it was still clear that she was smiling politely and a little distantly at Lu Bai.
She does not want to take advantage of him.
Lu Bai smiled cheerily in reply.
“It is fine!
Me calling you sister can be considered a form of respect.”
This sister… seems a little different from the others.
Lu Bai did not forget the stun bomb that Yu Xi had just dropped.
It was rather… deadly.
“Then the winner of this assessment will be decided like this,” Wen Han said as he looked at Yu Xi.
“You will be our Wild Card’s temporary assistant for a day.
You can start tomorrow, and you can come and follow us out tonight as per our schedule.”
“Hm?
Are you guys leaving tonight?” Yu Xi asked.
She felt a little surprised that their schedule was so packed.
They had only just returned to the company not long ago, but they had to leave so quickly after a while.
Wen Han nodded before answering, “We have a singing performance tomorrow, so we have to rush to the hotel there tonight.”
“Okay, I understand,” Yu Xi said to express her understanding of their situation.
She had no complaints since, after all, she had experienced this kind of thing on tour before in her past life.
Although Yu Xi has never done the job of being an idol’s assistant, she knew how hectic their schedule could be since she was one before—a very famous one at that.
Moreover, there was a saying that said, “Even though one has never eaten pork, at least one has seen pigs run,” right?
This meant that even if she had never been anyone’s assistant in her past life, she should still have some common sense in her to finish her duties as one.
Things could not be that hard, right?
Her career as an artist, an international superstar, for so many years, should not be in vain.
The one problem that was bugging her in her head was the fact that her remaining life value would have expired by tonight.
This meant that by tonight, if she did not find anyone of her targets to kiss, she would die.
Alone and so silently in the night, with no witnesses in sight.
That would be one of the most pathetic deaths in life.
It was something that she did not want to experience.
And not even one of the many instruments in the hospital could save her life, at least not with the Star Maker System’s intervention.
…
After everything was arranged, Yu Xi took the Wild Card’s idol van with the Seven Princes of Spectra and headed to the hotel, their destination, to rest for the night.
One thing that Yu Xi had learned by staying in such an enclosed place with the group of idols was that even though there were only seven members in their group, their collective voices could still rival those with a hundred mouths.
They were just that talkative and loud.
At least their conversation serves as a distraction for the long ride.
Yu Xi was sitting quietly in the back row of the idol van while listening to the seven chat animatedly in front of her.
Wen Han was actually the first person to notice Yu Xi’s silent presence.
He wanted to talk to her.
He had the urge to talk to her, but he did not know what to say.
Inside this van, they—he and Yu Xi—were the only two people who knew clearly about their relationship with one another.
And it was also something that could not be disclosed out loud, or it may most definitely cause a controversy, which he himself did not want to face.
Not now, not ever.
And now they have an “unfamiliar” relationship.
