Chapter 183: Who are You Happier with?
It had been a long time since Yun Xiangxiang enjoyed the springtime of youth so with her friends.
Fooling around with them, even a simple chat could make her feel young and alive.
Whether it was because they were losing too much or that roast ducks tasted too good, their appetites were greatly stimulated. Their group of fourteen ate thirty roast ducks. One person ate two roast ducks on average. It was fortunate that the supply was enough here.
“Ai ai ai, Xiangxiang. An event is going on here,” Song Meng saw the ad standing beside the counter when they were paying the bill.
It was Women’s Day tomorrow. They could poke the balloons if they spent enough money. There would be discounts, real items, and discount vouchers in the balloons.
“Yep, you can poke a balloon,” the cashier gave Yun Xiangxiang a bamboo stick that had a sharp piece of metal tied to it.
Yun Xiangxiang raised her head to look at the balloons tied by the colorful, crisscrossing ribbons. Their hues painted the restaurant with beauty.
She did not want to move. Raising her bamboo stick, she poked the balloon above her head. A piece of a card fell from the balloon. Emblazoned across the card was: ninety percent discount!
“Wow wow wow wow. Ninety percent! Ninety percent!” Tao Manni was the one who picked up the card. She came forward excitedly.
“You have unbelievably great luck,” Ma Linlin was used to Yun Xiangxiang’s good fortune.
“Hahahaha, we should have eaten more if we knew this was happening,” the boys cheered.
They were responsible for eating the most part of the thirty roast ducks. Except for Tao Manni and Song Meng, the girls only ate one or one and a half roast ducks.
They ate so much because the roast duck here was scrumptious, and they knew a bit of how Yun Xiangxiang was. She won a lot in mahjong, but she could not give the money back to them. It would be insulting to them.
However, she must be feeling guilty, especially when she was obviously holding back during the last few rounds. It was a shame her luck was too great. She would play each tile she drew, just to draw the same tile back in the next turn.
They only ate that much to make everyone happy. Even so, the heavens was reluctant to make Yun Xiangxiang spend money. Even poking a balloon could get her a ninety percent discount...
The cashier still smiled and congratulated them wholeheartedly, “This is our grand prize.”
They had smartphones in their item prize. If they only had a few ducks, a ninety percent discount could not be compared to a smartphone. But in Yun Xiangxiang’s case, they saved a hefty sum of money.
Dusk was just approaching after the happy dinner they had. Yun Xiangxiang asked Song Qian and Ai Li to send them back to the campus.
As they were a large group, the boys said they could ride the bikes home. Yun Xiangxiang adamantly refused as she sent her friends back in batches.
While waiting for Song Qian to come back for her, Yun Xiangxiang called Song Mian, ‘Are you eating right now?”
Yun Xiangxiang heard Qi Jun shouting, “Give me that rabbit drumstick.”
“En, barbecuing in the wild,” Song Mian answered. “Did you have a great day?”
Since yesterday, he knew Yun Xiangxiang was going to have a gathering with her friends to celebrate her belated birthday today.
“It was great,” Yun Xiangxiang smiled. “It was different from the one I had with you. I could finally make a wish.”
Everyone’s belly was filled to the brim, but Yun Xiangxiang still cut the cake as her friends sang Happy Birthday to her when she made her wish.
“Was celebrating with me happier, or is today’s happier?” Song Mian suddenly asked evilly.
“Both are happy. It’s a different happiness,” Yun Xiangxiang replied.
“Ai, I am living out here in the wild, hoping for my girlfriend to comfort me with sweet words. Alas, it was not meant to be,” Song Mian sounded dejected.
“You are so childish. Do you want to hear a lie instead?” Yun Xiangxiang replied strongly.
“That means I was not good enough to win against your friends,” Song Mian whispered as if he was reflecting on himself.
Yun Xiangxiang surrendered, “Who told you you lost against them?”
“You did. Just now.”
Yun Xiangxiang, “...”
“I had ten classmates, two girlfriends, one little brother, and a fan here today. Together, they are just enough to be on par with you. Are you happy now?” Yun Xiangxiang could only try to explain with all her might.
“For now,” Song Mian stopped when he should.
“For now?” Yun Xiangxiang was incensed.
“I am satisfied for now. There’s still room for improvement. I will work harder,” Song Mian laughed.
Yun Xiangxiang was not planning to derail the conversation further. She asked about his condition before hanging up. As she turned around, her eyes met with Yun Lin’s.
“How long have you been standing here?” Yun Xiangxiang felt guilty.
“Not too long,” Yun Lin spoke slowly. “Right as you were saying that your little brother and fan together is just on par with Brother Mian.
Yun Xiangxiang: o(╯□╰)o
Looking into her brother’s clear eyes, Yun Xiangxiang scrambled to an explanation, “Erm, I was just trying to cheer him up.”
“Oh, so my elder sister is trying to lie to Brother Mian?” Yun Lin drawled.
“I did not,” Yun Xiangxiang denied it promptly.
“Then you are lying to me,” Yun Lin puffed his cheeks.
“That’s not it either...,” Yun Xiangxiang felt that being loved by so many people was a burden.
Her younger brother and her boyfriend were already enough trouble. When her father comes into the picture after this, and probably the little one after that...
“Heavens!” It was at this moment that Song Meng’s shrill scream arced through the air, making everyone jump.
Song Meng swiftly dashed to Yun Xiangxiang’s side like a wind. She handed her phone to Yun Xiangxiang, “Xiangxiang, He Xingzhou was arrested for doing drugs!”
No one else knew Yun Xiangxiang filmed “The King’s Plan,” but Song Meng and Li Xiangling did. They knew the ones who starred in the film.
Yun Xiangxiang took the phone. On the front page’s headline and top on trending was the picture of the police taking He Xingzhou away.
“How can this be?!” Yun Xiangxiang refused to believe it. During the three months she spent with He Xingzhou, she knew him as a happy lad.
Besides, they were together for three months. She knew He Xingzhou was not a drug addict just by looking at him. It had only been three months since their separation. It was impossible for him to get hooked on drugs.
He Xingzhou was just in his twenties. With his superb acting skills, he had a bright future ahead of him. Now that his drug scandal was exposed, it was the end for his acting career.
If the news of He Xingzhou doing drugs was verified, “The King’s Plan” would have to search for another actor to film He Xingzhou’s scenes again. It would adversely affect the quality of the film.
However, if they refused to refilm the scenes, they could forget about “The King’s Plan getting aired. The hundreds of millions in investment would be for nothing.
When she thought about “The King’s Plan” which they worked on together, when she thought of He Xingzhou’s personality, when she thought of how great they got along in the crew, Yun Xiangxiang could not let this matter go without doing anything about it.
[Sun Qiluo: I don’t believe Xingzhou would do drugs.]
[Hou Cang: I just attended an event together with him last week. He didn’t look like he was doing drugs to me.]
[Lu Jin: Don’t panic. I am asking someone to get the details here.]
In the crew’s chat group, it was obvious that the other three stars saw the news and the photo of the police taking He Xingzhou away. They did not worry about “The King’s Plan.” Instead they chose to believe in He Xingzhou.
