Chapter 103: That Dark, Skinny, and Short Fellow

At the sound of her question, Qiao Yuchen answered without hesitation.
“Nothing to worry about.”
“...Oh.” Lin Nanxun nodded in relief.

It was her own assumption; for a moment she had almost thought this Qiao Yuchen was someone from her past.
That dark, thin, short fellow could never have been the blazing star standing before her.

Just as she stood there staring at him, he suddenly got up from his chair and looked over the two bottles she had brought.
“I can’t drink that much by myself.” He checked the milk tea and found two bottles, still warm.
“Besides, I’m not really fond of these drinks anyway. You can have them.” he said, handing them over.

Girls these days seem to love milk tea; she probably liked it, too.
Seeing that, Lin Nanxun looked down at what he offered her, and a small happiness flickered across her face.
She was about to nod in agreement when another thought came to her.

“I don’t like them either.” She shook her head and politely refused.
Ye Ning had already given her one bottle. If she took these as well, Ye Ning would certainly complain.
“Is that so?” Qiao Yuchen smiled. The way she looked just moments ago didn’t seem like someone refusing to drink.

—knock, knock—

At that moment, the dressing-room door was knocked on again.
“Come in.” Qiao Yuchen put down the milk tea and glanced toward the door.

The door opened, and Ye Ning, who had finished what she was doing, stepped inside. When she saw the superstar, Qiao Yuchen, a faint blush touched her face.
“Hello, Mr. Qiao...” Seeing the room in such disarray, she came uncertainly to Lin Nanxun’s side.
“Did my colleague do anything wrong?”

Lin Nanxun was usually quiet around strangers and not the type to speak much; she was worried she might offend Qiao Yuchen.

“There’s nothing wrong. She did very well.” Qiao Yuchen shook his head gently.
Ye Ning paused, then nodded.
“That’s good, that’s good…” she said, and only then pulled Lin Nanxun out of the dressing room.

Once the door was shut behind them, Ye Ning couldn’t help pressing both hands to her cheeks and murmuring,
“How gentle he is…”

“Ye Ning, are you a fan of him, too?” Lin Nanxun asked, unable to hide her curiosity.
“Not before, but now I am.” Ye Ning gave a shy little smile.
Before, when she watched Qiao Yuchen on television, she only thought he was handsome and nothing more.
Just from this one meeting, she had suddenly been captured by the gentleness in him.

“Well then, let’s not talk about this now. We should move.” Slightly embarrassed, Ye Ning tugged Lin Nanxun along.
“We still have so much to do.”

After Lin Nanxun left, Qiao Yuchen leaned back in the chair and stared dreamily at the things on the dressing table.

By then, the manager had returned with the makeup artists and assistants.
“Has Miss Yufei left?” the manager blurted, startled by the mess on the floor.

“What happened here just now?”
“Yes.” Qiao Yuchen replied absentmindedly, as though he had no thought of Yufei at all.

“Take this to her for me.” He turned suddenly and handed the milk tea from the table to the assistant.
The assistant hesitated for a second, then quickly nodded.

Half an hour later.
In Yufei’s dressing room, there was the sharp sound of something falling.
Yufei’s angry face, reflected in the mirror, wore a look that was truly awful.

And on the dressing table beside her sat two bottles of milk tea.
