Chapter 191 Accident in Luo Xiaoxi’s Live Show (1)

Su Jianan curiously blinked and said, “Lu Boyan, should you be like my brother who is a hidden master? Would your cooking skills be better than mine?”

If her guess happened to be correct, it was necessary for Su Jianan to suspect her trust among people.

She once rented an apartment near the school with Luo Xiaoxi. After buying cooking tools in the supermarket, she tried to make some simple home-dishes. Although they looked and tasted ordinary, they were much more delicious than the French fries and hamburgers. Luo Xiaoxi was so moved that she said with tears, “From now on, I will be a devoted fan for Chinese cuisines!”

She took photos with a sense of achievement and sent the photos to Su Yicheng, requiring him to praise her.

However, she didn’t anticipate that she was showing her skills before a master. Su Yicheng criticized her wrong ways of cooking and told her some tips. She was not afraid of the challenge and cooked in the evening with Su Yicheng’s tips. Expectedly, it turned out to be much better than the dishes of noon.

The reality made her finally believe the truth that Su Yicheng could cook well, which he had hidden from her for years.

To comfort her, Su Yicheng said, “Few people know that I can cook well.”

Finally, she required that Su Yicheng should make up to her by making a grand cuisine for her. Su Yicheng always granted whatever she requested. Thus, he agreed.

But over several years, he had been busy, so he failed to fulfill his promise. Su Yicheng also hid his expertise in cooking well.

If Lu Boyan was a hidden master too, he must have hidden better than Su Yicheng.

Looking at the expectation on Su Jianan’s face, Lu Boyan said without any emotion, “It is the first time for me to use a cooking knife.”

“…” Su Jianan did not manage to stop her lips from twitching.

Lu Boyan shot up his brows. “What? Doesn’t it seem true?”

“…” Su Jianan only wanted to complain. “It does not seem true. It is not true! Who can cut the shredded potatoes so thin the first time he picks up a kitchen knife?”

However, for the event tonight, she restrained herself from complaining. Instead, she was going to admire Lu Boyan hard?

“Right, it does not seem true at all!” She nodded with a force, tried very hard to pile admiration on her face and said, “The potatoes that I shredded for the first time almost turned to be potato bars. Wow, you are awesome!”

Lu Boyan slightly moved his lips and looked directly into Su Jianan’s eyes. Maybe it was her request tonight that made Su Jianan suddenly lose her confidence. She could only hide her lost confidence by blinking and then put on a more brilliant and worshipful smile.

“What do you want?” Lu Boyan asked directly.

Su Jianan was stunned for a flash and then realized that it was time for her to speak it out.

“The live show of the first episode of ‘Top Model’ is on tonight. I want to watch at the set,” expectedly and worriedly looking at Lu Boyan, she said, “Could you go to the show with me?”

Lu Boyan looked at the time and said, “The live show will begin at eight o’clock. There are an hour and a half left.”

“Wonderful! He agreed!”

Su Jianan’s amorous eyes brightened. “The meal will be ready when the fried shredded potatoes is done!”

She took the braised pork out at once and then cleaned the pan for cooking the shredded potatoes.

The stir-fried potato shredded was a quick dish to finish and she soon placed it on the plate. There were only 40 minutes left after the couple finished dinner. Su Jianan took her shoes on as well as urging Lu Boyan by saying, “Hurry up. Hurry up. If we’re late, Luo Xiaoxi won’t be easy on me.”

Lu Boyan was not in a hurry. He sluggishly took the car keys and went to the garage to drive the car.

He drove out the extremely cool Aston Martin ONE77.

Su Jianan knew how fast the car could be. She got on the car with a smile, and then she heard Lu Boyan say, “Fasten your seat belt.”

“Yes!” She pulled over the seat belt and fastened it with a click. The car slid out in the next second, galloped out of the villa area and onto the highway to the TV station.

Looking at the rapidly passing tall buildings outside the window, Su Jianan was as excited as the time when she married Lu Boyan.

Initially, Luo Xiaoxi decided to be a model to prove to Su Yicheng that she could shine in another way. Su Jianan, like Luo Xiaoxi’ families, once thought it just was another way for Luo Xiaoxi to play her game of life.

However, Luo Xiaoxi was actually serious. She sweated for it and finally was on the stage.

Tonight, she was going to witness how Luo Xiaoxi would shine!

They arrived at the gate of the TV station. As soon as she saw the guard in uniform and with a baton that she realized an important problem. “I only told my brother to save seats for us. Now, do we need to ask him to bring the tickets to us so as to enter?”

At the gate, it was not surprising that they were stopped by the guard. It was only a dozen minutes left before the show begin. Su Jianan anxiously looked toward Lu Boyan. But he just looked inside the gate.

Su Jianan believed that there were reasons for Lu Boyan to stay so calm.

She also followed his sight and saw a man of about fifty walking out. The man greeted Lu Boyan from afar. “Hello, Mr. Lu, how do you do? Welcome to our TV station.”

The guard amazedly looked at Lu Boyan and then greeted the man. “Head Director.”

“They are Mr. and Mrs. Lu,” the Head Director told the guard with a smile. “The next time they come, do not stop them.”

The guard regretfully grabbed his hair and hurried to say yes. The Head Director made a posture signaling “please” and said, “Mr. and Mrs. Lu, let’s go to the broadcast hall, or we will be late.”

Lu Boyan nodded. Su Jianan knew nothing but took his hand and walked forward. The hit shows of this station passed quickly in her mind. She had been regretting that she could not get tickets to be on the set.

If she had known Lu Boyan was so familiar with the Head Director, she would not have watched on TV and she would come to the broadcast hall any moment she wanted!

Knowing that Su Jianan and Lu Boyan were coming, Su Yicheng had arranged the seats in the middle of the front row in advance, just beside several high-level directors of the station.

Su Jianan subconsciously looked around and asked Lu Boyan, “Can I go to the backstage to find Xiaoxi?”

“No.”

It was Su Yicheng who answered her. Su Jianan followed the sound and confusedly looked through. She saw Su Yicheng sitting down in the seat beside her.

“Brother?” She was extremely surprised. “Why are you here? I thought you were with Xiaoxi in the backstage.”

“Why should I go backstage to accompany her?” Su Yicheng said stiffly. “Neither do you.”

“Why?”

“Now, people are running around backstage. The injury on your leg has not healed. I am afraid that you would get hurt in the backstage,” Su Yicheng said. “What’s more, she was busy in dressing up. You will only distract her.”

“My leg was injured but yours did not,” Su Jianan moved close to Su Yicheng’s ear and whispered. “This is the first live show for Xiaoxi and she must be nervous. If you encourage her at this time, she may be moved and agrees to be with you.”

Su Yicheng contemptuously looked at Su Jianan and said, “I used to wonder how you could make friends with Luo Xiaoxi but now I know why. The IQs of you two are on the same level, so you can chat well.”

“…” Su Jianan was angry. “Could he say something nice? Why is he always despising her IQ like Lu Boyan?”

Did he really think she didn’t know why he dared not go to Luo Xiaoxi?

Originally, she wanted to seize the chance to help Su Yicheng explain to Xiaoxi. “But since he despised me so much, there was nothing better than messing up!”

Lu Boyan held Su Jianan’s shoulder and took her back by saying, “You cannot go backstage but you can send a message to tell her that you have come.”

“Oh, it sounds like a good idea.”

Su Jianan smiled at Lu Boyan, bowed her head and began to edit a message. Su Yicheng caught her adoring and clever smile, and his heart was filled with contempt.

But he also knew that the contempt was actually due to his envy to Lu Boyan.

There were two months before the “Top Model” ended. Anyway, he had to wait.

At this time, Su Jianan successfully sent her message and the “Top Model” began.

The pair hosting the program was the most popular hosts in the TV station. When the pair came out, the screaming of the audience burst out. In the screaming, Luo Xiaoxi received Su Jianan’s message.

Su Jianan’s leg had not recovered yet. Luo Xiaoxi thought that she would not come. But she still came. Luo Xiaoxi had to admit that she was very happy.

She was happy but disappointed. Su Jianan had come. Where’s Su Yicheng?

She wished that Su Yicheng came because she wanted him to witness how she looked like on the catwalk. But she wished he didn’t come at the same time.

If he came but did not come backstage to find her, she could not hide her disappointment. So she preferred that he had not come.

Hesitating for a moment, Luo Xiao finally replied Su Jianan: Where’s your brother?

Su Jianan replied immediately: He’s sitting beside me. Go for it!

“He really came. He just didn’t come to me.”

Luo Xiaoxi breathed out a long relief. After replying Su Jianan, she put down the cell phone and tried hard to calm down.

It was OK that Su Yicheng didn’t come to encourage her. She could do it on her own!

“There are 20 contestants and 5 of them will be eliminated tonight,” Candy came to her, patted on her shoulder and said. “Yes, you can!”

Luo Xiaoxi firmly nodded and said, “Rest assured, I will fight to the final round!”

“A-a-a-a-ah!”

The screaming of a girl was around. Luo Xiaoxi subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound and saw a girl who just put on makeup and dress was about to fall down.

The girl was the next to get on the stage. The falling would ruin her makeup and dress.

Luo Xiaoxi did not know why she could act so quickly. She subconsciously supported the girl and said, “Be careful.”

The girl was surprised. The contestants were all for the champion. But there was only one champion. They looked friendly on the surface, but secretly they fought a life-or-death battle against each other. If she fell, it would be one less opponent for Luo Xiaoxi and others.

Why should Luo Xiaoxi help her?

“Thank you,” the girl said gratefully. “If unfortunately, we are in the condition that there can be only one winner, I will let you be the one.”

“I don’t need it,” Luo Xiaoxi said. “The best will still be the best.”

“Joanna!” A man of Candy’s age hurried in. “Let’s go. It’s your time!”

The girl named Joanna walked out of the dressing room with the agent. When she left the room, she gave Luo Xiaoxi a smile. “You are the 150th. Go for it.”

Luo Xiaoxi reluctantly smiled and nodded, and concealed the inner tension very well. After Joanna went out, she took a deep breath and kept telling herself. “Don’t be nervous. Don’t be nervous.”

At this time, in the dressing room, it was a mess.

The modest dressing room was shared by 20 people. There were some clothes on the coat hanger. Every dressing table was stacked with a lot of things. Additionally, there were friends and families of the contestants. All of these made the dressing room noisy and messy. Like Luo Xiaoxi, most contestants tried to calm down.

But since this was the first time for them to walk on the stage, it was not easy to calm down.

Luo Xiaoxi grabbed her cell phone tightly. It was at this moment when her cellphone rang loudly. She was scared by the sudden ringing. She looked at the cell phone and found it was an unfamiliar number.

She answered the call. A male voice came.

“Xiaoxi, I am waiting for you in the No. 17 dressing room. When are you coming over?”

The voice was strange. Luo Xiaoxi suspected that this person had made a mistake. But the man could call her name.

“Who exactly is it?”
