Tang Li had just received a text message about a notice from the crew and was looking at it on her cellphone when suddenly a hand crossed over from the side. By the time she realized, Fu Si had snatched her phone.
Fu Si was sitting on the floor, flipping through her phone: "It’s the 4G era now, why are you still using a slider phone?"
As he spoke, he looked at Tang Li oddly: "It’s not like you’re struggling to make ends meet."
"What is a slider phone?" Song Jingtian joined in the fun, grabbing his nephew’s hand: "Let me see, I’ve never seen a slider phone."
"It was bought by my mom, give it back first."
Hearing this response, Fu Si was about to return the cellphone to Tang Li when out of the corner of his eye, he saw the lit screen and asked, "Is this your work for tomorrow?"
It was no secret at school that Tang Li was taking acting jobs.
Fu Si read a few lines from the text message and turned his head to ask, "Have you and Guan Xiao played many opposing roles together?"
The text message was a schedule arranging her to go to the police station tomorrow to film several scenes.
Mostly, her scenes were opposing Guan Xiao.
"Guan Xiao plays a detective, and I’m the suspect, it’s perfectly normal for us to have opposing scenes."
However, Fu Si said, "A lot of male actors switch girlfriends when they switch movies, especially famous ones, and especially since you’re a good-looking and naïve newcomer. It doesn’t take much effort to sweet-talk you and eventually lead you to their bed."
Fu Si was tinkering with the phone and said, "I need to take a look for you, to keep an eye on you so you don’t get fooled and lose both body and heart."
Song Jingtian hurried over, "Let me help you with that."
Thinking of her text message exchanges with Song Baiyan, Tang Li felt like her secrets were being spied on.
She had deleted Song Baiyan’s number, but she didn’t touch those messages.
Especially the three messages she sent that night.
It would inevitably make people think too much.
Therefore, Tang Li reached out to snatch the phone back.
Seeing her reaction, Fu Si became even more convinced of his speculation: "You wouldn’t really have private dealings with someone surnamed Guan, would you?"
"No." Tang Li denied.
She was holding Fu Si’s shoulder with one hand and trying to grab the cellphone with the other: "There’s important notice messages on my phone, stop messing around."
The more Tang Li wanted to take it back, the more Fu Si refused, raising the phone high: "I’m doing this for your own good. Among those male actors, nine out of ten toy with women’s emotions, and the leftover one, if he doesn’t play with women, he plays with men, which is fundamentally worse."
As he spoke, he began to scroll through the text messages.
Tang Li, afraid he might discover those texts, kept urging, "Give it back to me!"
"I will give it back after I check."
Tang Li was somewhat annoyed.
Disregarding the propriety between men and women, she went straight up to snatch the cellphone.
Just then, the door suddenly opened.
Fu Si turned his head, looking at the door in surprise: "Uncle, when did you get here?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Li looked over.
Song Baiyan was watching the scuffle between the two, with Song Jingtian desperately trying to wedge himself between Tang Li and Fu Si. After the initial few seconds of slight shock, his expression returned to normal. He didn’t step further, just said, "Get along well, stop fighting."
After saying that, he closed the door and left.
Tang Li no longer tried to snatch the phone.
In fact, she was somewhat dazed and distracted.
Fu Si glanced at her: "Scared by my uncle?"
He handed the phone back to Tang Li: "Just kidding around with you. But do be careful with those male artists in the entertainment industry; I wasn’t lying about that."
