The quietness settled nearby.
She turned her head to look at him, under the orange light outside, half of his face was in shadow, making his eyes appear even darker and brighter.
"That’s the truth, I’ve watched all the plays you’ve acted in, and when I watch you perform, I have only one feeling." Long Tianjiao lazily rested her cheek in her palm as she gazed at him, "Acting alongside such a talented actor must feel pretty great, right?"
She almost let something slip.
Long Tianjiao inwardly sighed in relief, grateful for her quick thinking.
"How come I never noticed before that you loved acting this much?"
"That’s because I didn’t discover my interests and hobbies before. Spending days in school without properly attending, just dawdling, then suddenly I saw the light." Long Tianjiao leaned forward, resting her head on the back of the seat in front, "Liang He, happy birthday."
"You’ve already given your blessings."
"I want to say it again, three times for you, happy birthday, I hope your life after 26 is full-flavored and rich, I hope you live happily and safely..."
"I asked Xiao Tian to find you a ride home, I’m going back to the hotel, my head hurts a bit."
When Liang He got off the car holding the documents, Shi Xiaotian was walking towards them.
"Call a ride for Tian Jiao."
Liang He boarded the nanny van, not looking at the documents but setting them aside, closing his eyes to rest.
A few minutes later, Shi Xiaotian returned, "The ride is on the way, Brother Liang, let’s head back to the hotel."
"What were you chatting about alone with her just now?"
"It’s her company’s first script project, she still wants me to play the male lead."
Shi Xiaotian glanced at the documents through the rearview mirror and asked, "Did you agree?"
"No, just said I’d take a look."
"Brother Liang, you said before that you didn’t want to act with her, right? The lead male and female roles usually involve intimate scenes, wouldn’t it be awkward with her? Brother Liang, don’t take this role."
Liang He frowned, "Focus on your driving."
Shi Xiaotian was utterly panicked.
If Liang He and Long Tianjiao were in the same drama crew, seeing each other day in and day out, if their relationship got closer, then he wouldn’t stand a chance.
During the ride back, many thoughts crossed Shi Xiaotian’s mind.
Liang He took the documents and gift box back to his room, and Shi Xiaotian also took down his own gift to follow him into the room before presenting it to him. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel✦fire.net
"Brother Liang, this is my gift for you, don’t disdain it."
He put down the gift box and documents he was holding and took it, "Why would I disdain it, what is it?"
"It’s a white shirt."
"Ah, what did Long Tianjiao give you?"
"I haven’t looked yet." Liang He untied the ribbon on the gift box, lifted the lid, and the atmosphere immediately became awkward.
"What a coincidence, she also gave you a white shirt..."
Liang He put the lid back on, "Make me some tea, I’m going to take a shower."
Once he went to the bathroom, Shi Xiaotian reopened the gift box lid, reached out to take the shirt out, and then looked at the one he bought, instantly feeling a sense of shame.
He quickly covered the box again and searched on his phone how much the brand’s shirts cost, already figured they would be expensive, but upon searching, felt his own purchase was embarrassingly inadequate.
Long Tianjiao bought an international brand’s shirt, costing 50,000 yuan. While his own purchase was just over 300 yuan.
