Chapter 525: Ruining Oneself

Qiao Yanjue frowned, “It’s already so late, why haven’t you eaten? Have you not eaten well in the past two days since you’ve been shooting the show? Why do you look thinner?”
Xia Xibei was speechless.
The program team was quite humane.
Although some tasks were very crazy—for other guests, at least—the show did not skimp in terms of food and accommodation. After all, the guests were either popular stars or the stars of tomorrow. How could they not be treated well?
The hotel prepared a buffet, and her appetite almost scared the other stars, who didn’t eat much.
Except for Xia Qinghan, the other three female guests all ran over to watch her, wanting to know the secret of how she was able to eat so much!
She also used this opportunity to tell them about the slimming pills that would be created later, and they said they wanted to buy them.
How could she be thinner in this case?!
“I haven’t lost any weight!” Xia Xibei shook her head. “I eat a lot!”
“Is that so?” Qiao Yanjue still didn’t believe her. “Forget it, let’s go in and eat first.”
“Okay.”
Looking at Qiao Yanjue’s gentle and patient manner, Li Weiyun’s face remained unchanged, but her nails were about to scratch her palms open.
Her heart felt stabbed. This was the first time she had seen such a different side in Qiao Yanjue!
How could Qiao Yanjue, who had always been cold and proud, unable to let others get close to him, have such a gentle side?
Even worse, this side was for someone else!
However, no matter how angry she was, she still squeezed out a smile, “Yeah, hurry up and go eat. Otherwise, it’s not good for your stomach.”
“Sure.” Xia Xibei smiled at her very brightly and turned back to Qiao Yanjue. “Let’s go inside.”
To be honest, when she spoke in this voice, Xia Xibei was also disgusted with herself.
If it wasn’t to disgust Li Weiyun, she wouldn’t have been so hard on herself.
Unlike her, after the previous rehearsal, Qiao Yanjue actually had a high degree of tolerance for this acting. He pinched her nose lightly. “Yes. Go in, little glutton.”
Xia Xibei’s smile froze, and goosebumps soon followed.
What the hell?! This was going to kill her! It was horrible!
She suddenly remembered what someone said—being coquettish was a powerful tool for women, either to make the other party soft-hearted and achieve the goal, or to make the other party so disgusted that they had to agree.
Now it seemed that being coquettish had the latter effect for her!
She was more disgusted with herself than anyone else was.
“Let’s go.”
When he felt the strength of her grip, Qiao Yanjue couldn’t help but laugh in his heart.
The two of them had known each other for so long, and he understood her character.
How could someone with such a tough personality, who wanted to handle everything on her own, be so delicate and coquettish?
While she was disgusted by herself, he was interested instead.
After all, it was not common to see such a coquettish Xia Xibei, and he needed to take advantage of it.
Li Weiyun looked on with grim eyes as she watched the two of them go in holding hands.
Inside the private room, Huo Zijun was slowly eating.
He was stunned upon seeing the two of them come in hand-in-hand.
What the-! It was only a few days, but was there such a great deal of progress already?
Without waiting for him to ask a question, he heard Xia Xibei daintily shout, “Brother Huo!”
“Pfft-”
Huo Zijun was eating and snorted at her name for him, spewing the food into several dishes in front of him.
Huo Zijun coughed so hard, his heart almost came up.
Was Xia Xibei crazy?!
