Chapter 88: Having Dinner Together

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gao Xin was a member of a girl group. She often participated in programs that required the group’s presence. Today’s variety show featured all nine members of her group. She was the first to arrive in the makeup room, where she felt comfortable calling Jing Mo.

During their call, when Gao Xin and Xia Xin made dinner plans, Wan Wan walked in. Wan Wan didn’t expect Gao Xin and Xia Xin to be so close and have dinner plans already, and this immediately irked her. Deliberately, Wan Wan took a seat next to Gao Xin, trying to get closer, and asked, “Since when did you become so familiar with Xia Xin?”

Gao Xin, busy browsing her phone for a restaurant recommended by fans, unconsciously replied, “Just now.”

Wan Wan remarked, “I advise you not to get too close to her. Xia Xin is not a good person; she’s just a little influencer trying to gain fame. I’ve been on a show with her, and she doesn’t have any real talent.”

Gao Xin, frowning at Wan Wan’s negativity, replied with a casual, “Oh.”

Wan Wan knew her words wouldn’t make a difference, so she came up with another idea. She said, “Are you looking at restaurants? I have a great one to recommend. I went there just the other day.”

Gao Xin, finally putting down her phone and looking at Wan Wan, asked, “Where is it?”

“It’s a Thai restaurant, pretty good. It’s right near the Capital Zoo,” Wan Wan said.

Since Gao Xin was planning to treat Xia Xin to a meal, she thought it was best to choose a place close to Xia Xin’s workplace. The restaurant happened to be conveniently located near where Xia Xin worked. So, Gao Xin was instantly interested. She asked Wan Wan, “Send me the details; I’ll go there tomorrow.”

Seizing the opportunity, Wan Wan probed further, “Who is this Xia Xin, anyway? Why does the director like her so much, giving her frequent appearances on the show? Are you getting close to her because the director has taken an interest in her?”

Gao Xin’s expression immediately changed and said, “Don’t project your own dirtiness onto others. Not everyone is as dirty as you. If you have the time for this nonsense, why don’t you practice dancing properly? You can’t keep up with us every time. Do you think you can thrive in the entertainment industry just by acting cute on TV? Although our girl group only has a year, I don’t want to spend that year working with an idiot like you.”

“You!” Wan Wan was infuriated, her face contorted. “Why do you speak like this? We debuted together; who does Xia Xin think she is?”

Gao Xin remained unfazed. “I’ve always been like this. If I see something I don’t like, I say it. I can’t stand you, and it’s been a while. There’s no need for fake pleasantries between us. The best way for us to get along is to stay out of each other’s way. Don’t bother me, and I won’t seek you out.”

Furious, Wan Wan slammed her bag on the table and moved to a seat farthest away from Gao Xin.

The next day, as soon as Xia Xin finished work, she rushed to the restaurant Gao Xin had recommended. Gao Xin had arrived a bit earlier. Feeling a bit embarrassed, Xia Xin took a seat across from Gao Xin and said, “I’m really sorry for being late.”

Gao Xin replied, “It’s okay. I was worried we’d have to wait in line if we came here after your shift, so I arrived early.”

Today, Gao Xin was wearing a tight-fitting tank top and ultra-short shorts, revealing her toned arms and legs. Her long, wavy hair was casually held up with a hairpin. Since Gao Xin had been dancing, she had a sleek physique and a sizzling aura. Though her outfit was casual, it was hard not to be captivated by her.

Gao Xin handed the menu to Xia Xin and said, “Today, I’m treating you as a token of my gratitude. You don’t have to go easy on me.”

Xia Xin joked, “Don’t worry; I won’t save a single cent.”

When Gao Xin first met Xia Xin, she was very reserved. Gao Xin was worried that she wouldn’t be able to get along with Xia Xin. Today, seeing Xia Xin’s cheerful personality, Gao Xin was relieved.

After all the dishes were served, Gao Xin started scooping food for Xia Xin and said, “Besides expressing my gratitude today, I also have a mission.”

As she enjoyed the meal, Xia Xin inquired, “What mission is that?”

Gao Xin explained, “The director has spoken to me. They want you to be the stunt double for the cat-girl’s movements, but since you haven’t agreed yet, I’m here to persuade you.”

Xia Xin raised an eyebrow and asked, “Why is everyone getting involved in this?”
