Chapter 802: Chapter 793 Tracking (3)
It’s really quite a coincidence, Shang Feifei and Xia Siyu finished filming around the same time, and their projects wrapped up around the same time too. During these past ten plus days, Xia Siyu and Bo Yan were apart, Han Yifan was also dragged away by his father, and he’s been incommunicado ever since.
Shang Feifei didn’t have deep feelings for Han Yifan to begin with. They got together somewhat confusedly, and though being together didn’t feel too bad, once they separated and left that environment, the emotions that surged up like a feverish cold instantly dissipated.
During these ten plus days, she was also very busy. Han Yifan did try to contact her, but without meeting face to face, her responses became more rational and restrained. Every time she replied to him, she wondered more and more how she ended up with such a man in the first place. They simply weren’t on the same page at all!
Both of them first returned to the hotel to remove their makeup, then after a quick tidy up, they went downstairs to take the car to the hotel. As soon as Xia Siyu came down, she saw Shang Feifei from afar at the neighboring hotel, decked out in the latest high-end seasonal dress. This dress hadn’t even started selling in the entire Asia-Pacific region and there were only a few pieces available. And yet, there she was wearing it.
Not willing to be outdone, she quickly turned her head. Wei Jingjing was confused: “What are you missing?”
Without looking back, Xia Siyu dashed towards the elevator: “Going to change clothes.”
She had just come downstairs, casually dressed in a T-shirt and a pair of jeans, neither dolled up nor accessorized. She originally thought it was just a regular wrap-up banquet, where casual attire would suffice, but Shang Feifei’s seemingly casual but strategically chosen “homely” outfit was a calculated move. There was no way she could tolerate this.
Wei Jingjing thought she was afraid of the cold, considering it was already winter and the heating was on in the north. Although every actress was battle-hardened and would bare arms and legs no matter how cold, for everyday outings, everyone still wore standard puffer jackets and knitted hats.
However, following Xia Siyu upstairs, Jingjing even found her own outfit too thick and decided to change into a backless cocktail dress instead. After much persuasion, Xia Siyu changed into a high-end designer dress just over the knees and called upon her exclusive makeup artist. Then, she headed out looking beautiful.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, it was already bustling with noise. After over a month of working together, the two crews had become like one big family. Seeing Xia Siyu dressed to the nines, everyone called out in admiration.
Xia Siyu smiled modestly and scanned the room nonchalantly. Shang Feifei had already taken her seat and aside from her dress, she hadn’t done any other embellishment, looking entirely different from Siyu with her bright red lipstick.
Looking at her, then at myself, hmm, I’m definitely better looking.
The banquet started, Shang Feifei was charming and sociable, able to drink without getting drunk after countless toasts, while Xia Siyu appeared carefree but in reality would be out after just two bottles. But with Shang Feifei drinking, her own director toasted to her: “Who would have thought Fei’er can hold her liquor so well, we should definitely drink together sometime.”
Xia Siyu never drinks in public and felt unhappy upon hearing this: “Director, I can hold my liquor quite well too.”
“Is that so? Then we must put that to the test.” The director from the other crew also poured Xia Siyu a drink. Without any surprise, she downed it in one go. Turning her head, looking proud, she saw that Shang Feifei had also smiled and finished a drink.
Xia Siyu’s competitive spirit was instantly ignited. Without anyone toasting, she poured herself another drink and downed it in one gulp. Turning around with a challenging gaze, Shang Feifei, while conversing and laughing, also downed another glass.
