Due to the fondness he had for her from the bottom of his heart, the moment he heard Yi Tian’s voice, Small Guy halted, and a smile bloomed on his face. He couldn’t help but feel that he was really fated to be with Yi Tian; he couldn’t believe he’d even run into her in a washroom.
Footsteps came from the ladies’ room. Li Fei stood at the door. “I’m looking out for you. There’s no one here.”
Yi Tian’s huge sigh came right after that. “Gosh, this day is so suffocating!”
Small Guy hid quietly by the side. He was curious what had led Yi Tian to feel that she was suffocated.
Right then, Small Guy felt like he was back in his schooling days, like a teenager that had first discovered the feelings of love. The girl he liked was right there, and hearing her voice made his footsteps stall so he could listen to the sound of her voice.
It just… Small Guy surveyed his surroundings… It all just seemed a little… dirty.
Small Guy was still thinking about it, but he suddenly heard the sound of a lighter, and then the sound of a smoky exhale.
In the washrooms, Yi Tian held a cigarette in between her fingers, puffing at it like an addict.
“How long do I have to keep up this ‘pure lady’ image?” Yi Tian held the smoke in her mouth as she posed the question lazily.
Li Fei looked outside as she said, “At least another few years. You have only just debuted. You have to be extremely careful about your public image.”
Yi Tian grumbled, annoyed. “Am I not careful enough? You were the one that kept tripping me up!”
“I…” Li Fei felt wronged.
“What? When I asked you to get me Ling Tianya’s books, you f*cking got me fake ones! You almost exposed me in front of everyone!” The moment that crossed her mind again, Yi Tian’s anger surfaced.
Li Fei’s expression was bitter. “You were the one that said you wanted the special editions, and I bought those. I don’t read books. How am I supposed to know that they were all pirated?”
“You’re still talking back to me!” Yi Tian glared. “I’ve had enough of your stupidity. When we’re done filming this drama, and I get famous, I will tell the company to change you out!”
Li Fei gritted her teeth. She couldn’t help but feel like she was the most oppressed manager in the world.
Faced with Li Fei’s silent tolerance, Yi Tian didn’t let up. “I shouldn’t have chosen you in the first place. I thought that since you had been with Guan Meiyi before, you might be somewhat competent, but you are a complete idiot!”
On the other end, Small Guy’s frown deepened more and more as he heard what Yi Tian said, a complete opposite to her previous gentleness. Her words right now were sharp and heartless.
“What are you looking at me for? Look outside. If people see me smoking right now, and the company starts questioning us, I’ll say it was all you!” Yi Tian grumbled menacingly, just like a lawless man. She took in another deep puff of smoke. “That Ling Tianya dragged the director and her assistant into a meeting the moment she came back. Who knows what they’re talking about?”
“Most likely the script,” Li Fei answered flippantly. “I think it’s better for you to not get into Ling Tianya’s bad graces. She’s a smart woman, and it would do nothing good for you. Didn’t she figure out that you were the one that snuck a picture of her and Gu Zhiqian and made it viral?”
“Haha, I know that, of course! Do you think I’m an idiot? That Ling Tianya’s no simple woman. I had thought initially that she just knew how to write a few words and was a normal woman with an impressive fiancé. I’m not afraid of the fact that she knew about me taking a photo of her and senior. I’m more worried about the possibility that she might tell senior that I had purposefully lead him away on the day of her kidnapping.”
