“Huh?” Chen Che turned around and looked at Lin Xi curiously. “Are you a big fish?”

Before Lin Xi could speak, Chen Che continued, “Big white fish?”

“Are you done?!”

Lin Xi picked up a bottle of medicine and threw it over angrily, but Chen Che chuckled.

Chen Che turned around and asked, “Why don’t they feel this way?”

Lin Xi’s eyes widened. “So you’re targeting me?”

Chen Che smiled cheekily. “It’s an honor, right?”

Lin Xi sneered and did not answer.

Chen Che paused. “Actually, I didn’t do much. Sister Mi didn’t return my call. Planner Chu is probably still on the plane.”

Lin Xi agreed. “Don’t blame Sister Mi. It’s not good to ride on her popularity.”

“I understand,” Chen Che said calmly. “There are only two popular people. Do I have to finish?”

“Hmph!” Lin Xi glared at him. “Do you think you can ride on my popularity just because you want to? You’re thinking too much.”

Chen Che was speechless.

Lin Xi turned to look at him. “Are you angry? Hurt your self-esteem?”

“I don’t want to ride on your popularity.”

Chen Che suddenly said. Lin Xi was stunned for a moment. She turned her head away, applied the medicine, and continued to listen.

Chen Che lay with his back facing Lin Xi.

“On the day of the interview, the director and Sister Chen said that you were very popular. If I interact with you, it can increase my attention, just like how the company wants you to interact with Luo Heng.”

Lin Xi smiled and said, “I’ve never felt that I can’t rely on myself to receive attention.”

He looked at Chen Che. “You too. The director said today that with your talent, ability, and variety sense, I might need your help more.”

Chen Che chuckled and did not say anything.

Lin Xi was silent for a moment before muttering, “You even deliberately ruined your image. If you ask someone for help, at least have a better attitude…”

“Hmph.”

Chen Che smiled. He knew that she was referring to the stairs. He turned his head and gestured. “How do you know that I’m deliberately ruining my image?”

Lin Xi sneered. “Tantrums? Whining? You’re trying to ride on the popularity of your work and keep your dignity in private. Don’t you want to suck up?”

Chen Che grinned. “Your words are quite ruthless! Sucking up?!”

He chuckled and said, “I’ve never been on my knees before.”

“Oh? Really?” Lin Xi leaned closer and asked curiously, “Find Planner Chu for editing? Ask Brother Chao for Sister Mi’s number? Then?”

Chen Che was silent for a long time before saying, “I was just asking for help. Not sucking up to anyone.”

Lin Xi walked over and frowned, laughing. “Wiry are you so hot and cold? Arc you playing some kind of strategy?”

Chon Che added, “Besides, one hasn’t fought yet, and the other hasn’t gotten through.”

Lin Xi smiled and continued to apply medicine for Chen Che.

He lay there and asked, “Arc you feeling better?”

Lin Xi looked down at his back and leaned closer.

Chen Che felt his back tremble slightly and said in a muffled voice, “Don’t tease me. It’s late at night.”

Lin Xi laughed and combed her hair. “Tease? This word is quite creative.”

Chen Che sighed softly. “Later on, I thought that it was enough to ride on the popularity. Don’t think about others anymore. You’re too careless.”

Lin Xi: “Just like how you can think about anyone.”

She frowned. “What you said on the stairs was really too much. If you hadn’t saved me later, I might have ignored you. A man like that has a problem with his character.”

Chen Che apologized seriously. Lin Xi smiled and did not respond.

He added, “But his words are rough but his logic is not.”

Lin Xi widened her eyes. “What do you mean by rough? What logic is there here?”

Chen Che: “Isn’t it proof of a woman’s charm?”

Lin Xi mocked, “Does proving a woman’s charm depend on how many people are willing to drag her to bed?”

Chen Che: “A high box office doesn’t mean it’s necessarily good, but a high box office is a sign of success. Do you agree?”

Lin Xi hesitated. Chen Che smiled and said, “Are you embarrassed to curse?”

Lin Xi frowned and applied medicine for him. Chen Che said helplessly, “Forget it, let’s not talk about this topic.”

Lin Xi: “You keep mentioning that a man and a woman are alone in the dead of night. What do you want to emphasize?”

Chen Che chuckled and changed the topic to Brother Liu’s departure.

Chen Che sighed. “I overreacted. If I had known that your company would do nothing, I wouldn’t have done so much.”

Lin Xi was silent for a moment before mentioning Gong Wanqing’s ostracization of Chen Che.

Chen Che shook his head. “I was kicked out of the movie. The variety show also, considering all things. I was originally meant to be eliminated that’s why I was not left behind. The outcome was the same.”

Lin Xi looked at him in confusion. Chen Che turned around. “But your sudden appearance did scare me. I was just a little confused.”

Lin Xi shook her head. “I don’t think it’s worth it. Everyone’s unhappy.”

Chen Che smiled. “Are you angry, young lady?”

“At first, when I wasn’t famous, all of you were here. Now that I’m a little famous, our relationship should be even stronger. I didn’t expect…” Lin Xi said softly as she applied the medicine.

Chen Che turned around. “Actually, it’s me…”

“None of your business.”

Lin Xi interrupted, “Perhaps you’re just a fuse. In essence, he still told the company that he treated me as a machine and not an old friend or artiste. When he realized that I was disobedient, he reported it to the higher-ups as if he was monitoring me.”

Chen Che was silent for a moment before asking, “Was it like this in the past?”

Lin Xi shook her head. “In the past, when we were filming, it was all company scenes. With Sister Mi around, there was no such situation.”

Chen Che smiled. “I hope I said not to worry. At least you weren’t frozen?”

“Haha.” Lin Xi looked at him. “I feel much better when I think of you.”

Chen Che nodded. “In any case, you’re not the only artiste. Even if I don’t follow you, I’ll still be with others.”

Chen Che said solemnly, “Go back and talk to the company. I can make up for it…”

“Make up for what?”

Lin Xi asked, “You’re all ridiculous. What’s the difference between all the confrontation? You all think that I can’t take care of myself and make decisions for me. You even said that it’s for my own good.”

She gestured to Chen Che. “Forget about him, he’s a manager. But you too?”

Chen Che was speechless and suffered a heavy blow.

Lin Xi pouted. “Then, two people who think I can’t take care of myself. One doesn’t earn as much as me, and the other isn’t as popular as me.”

Chen Che sat up. Lin Xi retreated and smiled at him. “Did it hurt your pride?”

Chen Che looked at her in shock. “You… actually…”

Lin Xi smiled and looked at Chen Che. “It’s easier for me to handle things myself. Whether it’s because I’m an artiste in the company or because of my commercial value…”

“Get out!” Chen Che pointed at the door. “I don’t want to see you now.”

Lin Xi took the empty medicine bottle and walked to the door.

Chen Che laughed. “I asked you to go out, not close the door and come back.”

Lin Xi looked at him calmly. “Get down.”

“Okay.”

Chen Che lay down. Lin Xi bit her lip and smiled. She glanced at him and continued applying the medicine.

“Do you want to wrap it in gauze?” Lin Xi asked when the medicine was almost applied.

Chen Che smiled bitterly. “I don’t remember if the doctor said that.”

“Then wrap it up.”

Lin Xi picked up the gauze and gestured for Chen Che to open his arms.

Chen Che opened his arms cooperatively and suddenly blurted out, “Your company didn’t…”

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the scene in front of him.

At this moment, they were so close to each other that they could almost hear each other’s breathing.

He stared at Lin Xi’s pitch-black eyes with an indescribable atmosphere.

Heart racing, Chen Che took the gauze and tried to finish it himself.

Lin Xi watched quietly. In the end, she took the gauze and bandaged Chen Che again.

After wrapping the gauze, Chen Che smiled and said, “It’s like a chest corset.”

Lin Xi looked at him innocently. “Don’t think too much. I’m the one who got you hurt.”

Chen Che’s eyes widened. “What do you mean?”

Lin Xi tidied up the medicine and suddenly asked, “Why did the previous members say that you never accepted help from others and never compromised?”

Chen Che mocked himself. “Are you retarded?”

Lin Xi shook her head. “I didn’t say that. You think so yourself.”

Lin Xi stood up and was about to leave. Chen Che wanted to send her off, but he was stopped. “Rest..”
