Chapter 39: The True Strong Never Complains about the Environment

Wen Chi helplessly pinched the bridge of his nose, unable to describe how complicated his feelings were. Xia Kai's reaction was more straightforward. He exclaimed on the spot:

"Su, Suisui! Why are you here?"

Listen, his voice was cracking. It was enough to show how shocked he was!

As for Suisui, there was not a trace of guilt or panic on her face. She calmly raised her small hand and waved:

"Xiao Chi!"

Wen Chi sighed silently. Xia Kai gradually calmed down his shocked expression and quietly poked Wen Chi, saying:

"Do you know what this is called?"

"..."

"The true strong never complains about the environment!"

"..."

"Suisui is really a talent."

Wen Chi didn't want to say anything more. At this time, Jian Lin and the others in the car heard the commotion and got out of the car one after another. When they saw Suisui hiding among the luggage in the trunk, their eyes almost popped out.

Jian Lin's complexion changed:

"Suisui! When did you get in here?"

Just thinking about the consequences made one's hair stand on end! What if they didn't notice Suisui all the way? Fortunately, Wen Chi found her... Wait, why did Wen Chi suddenly think that Suisui would be in the trunk? Was there some kind of mysterious telepathy between them that others didn't know about? Jian Lin couldn't figure it out.

And Suisui, muttering to herself, her small cheeks were as tender as glutinous rice balls, but she was pouting like a glutinous rice ball with sesame filling:

"There's no danger. I'm Suisui... Ah!"

Suisui was picked up by Wen Chi from the trunk like a kitten. She looked pitiful and funny. Suisui put her hands together and looked at Wen Chi with her big, watery eyes:

"Xiao Chi, Xiao Chi, put me down."

"... Pretending to be pitiful is useless."

Wen Chi resolutely took her away.

Suisui whined pitifully twice. Seeing that it was no use, she snorted angrily. She hugged her arms laboriously, and the little tuft of hair on top of her head stood up angrily:

"I said I wanted to go with you!"

"But you can't just climb into the trunk! Do you know how dangerous it is?"

Wen Chi's eyebrows and eyes were so cold that it was scary. Suisui could feel that he was really angry.

Suisui finally stopped making a fuss. She hung her head, kicking the stones at her feet aimlessly. Her little tuft of hair also drooped down. She was silent and dejected.

Seeing her so quiet, Wen Chi's heart softened instead. He took out his phone, fiddled with it a few times, and handed it to Suisui.

"For me?"

Suisui curiously turned the phone over and over. Wen Chi nodded. Then he asked Xia Kai for his phone, dialed his own number, selected video call, and taught Suisui how to answer it.

Immediately, the faces of Suisui and Wen Chi appeared on the screen. Suisui's eyes sparkled like stars: "Wow!"

Wen Chi's eyebrows and eyes softened, and he said softly:

"Look, as long as you call this number, you can see me. Isn't it very convenient?"

"Really!"

Suisui jumped up happily twice, and the gloom on her small face disappeared.

Seeing her mood improve, Wen Chi smiled too. He just figured it out. Suisui might not be afraid of him leaving, but afraid that he would never come back after leaving. Having a phone to contact would make her feel at ease.

Wen Chi reached out and ruffled Suisui's hair, making it messy.

"Count the days. After four days, I'll be back."

Suisui, with her messy hair, nodded readily:

"Okay!"

This warm scene was seen by the people around, and they were deeply touched. Many people had the same thought: It turned out that Wen Chi was really gentle with Suisui, not pretending.

The staff who found that Suisui was missing came to look for her, and Wen Chi and the others could leave at ease. Suisui waved goodbye to Wen Chi and the others with a smile.

As soon as she turned around, she suddenly smelled a faint stench, a bit like... the smell of the wooden beads she had thrown away. Suisui quickly turned her head, trying to find the source of the smell, but it was too faint and dissipated in the air quickly. Suisui found nothing.

She shook her head and didn't think much more. She grabbed Wen Chi's phone and skipped away with the screenwriter sister.

The car started. Wen Chi stared blankly at Suisui's back getting smaller and smaller until it disappeared from sight. His palm unconsciously clenched.

"Hiss."

Xia Kai poked his head out from behind Wen Chi's seat and exclaimed in distress:

"My phone! Be gentle, be gentle!"

Wen Chi suddenly realized that Xia Kai's phone was still in his hand. Just as he was about to hand it over, his hand stopped:

"Leave it with me for two days."

Xia Kai was as shocked as if he had been struck by lightning:

"That's impossible! How can a modern person live without a phone? And I still have to coordinate work!"

"Do I have new work?"

"..."

"No."

"Okay, I know you have two phones. Even if you have work, it won't be delayed."

Xia Kai's baby face, which was in great contrast to his figure, suddenly flushed slightly. He lowered his voice and said:

"But my girlfriend will call my personal phone. What if I miss the call?"

"You actually have a girlfriend?"

Xia Kai was startled and looked around. Only then did he find that this curious inquiry came from Jian Lin.

Xia Kai immediately changed his complexion:

"How long have you been eavesdropping?"

"Stingy, what's wrong with listening? Can't you tell people if you have a girlfriend?"

Jian Lin smiled brightly, without any airs of a director. She deliberately teased Xia Kai in a loud voice.

Xia Kai glared at her unhappily. Unfortunately, it was useless. Jian Lin was not intimidated by his eyes at all.

On the contrary, the others in the car were aroused with curiosity and actively asked Xia Kai about his girlfriend. Xia Kai rolled his eyes and noticed the change in the atmosphere — Since Wen Chi came to film for a week, the other members of the program team had been polite to Xia Kai, the executive agent, but to put it bluntly, they were a little cold and isolated, keeping him at a respectful distance. Fortunately, with Jian Lin, this bickering friend, it wasn't boring to bicker every day. But now, it seemed that everyone was actively starting a conversation with him, trying to accept him?

Xia Kai was quick-witted. Since he was an executive agent, he wouldn't be stupid enough to miss this opportunity. He took the opportunity to chat with everyone. With Jian Lin smoothing things over in the middle, the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.

Only Wen Chi maintained his taciturn persona from beginning to end and didn't join in this lively conversation.

They talked all the way until they arrived. When Xia Kai got off the car, he quietly thanked Jian Lin.

Jian Lin yawned carelessly and said:

"Remember to buy me a drink!"

"Don't worry, you won't be left out!"

The plane took off and landed. Two hours later, Wen Chi and the others arrived in Yanjing. Wen Chi, who had been half-abandoned by the company, didn't have the luxurious nanny car to pick him up as before. He didn't care. He was fully armed with a black hat and a black mask. He let Wang Qin off work early to accompany his family and took a taxi with Xia Kai to Yanjing S Hotel.

Wen Chi and Xia Kai pushed their suitcases and went upstairs familiarly. Xia Kai muttered as he walked:

"I really don't understand your preference. You don't want to buy a house, you don't want to rent one either, but you insist on living in a hotel for two years!"
